Litton Bionetics, a division of mammoth defense contractor Litton Industries, is linked to the Rockefeller empire through a history of managerial appointments. (156) A Litton Bionetics report to the NCI in 1971 listed virtually every virus, viral recombinant, and infectious agent under study by the world's leading cancer researchers, vaccine developers, and biological weapons contractors. While the document does not mention West Nile Virus, it does mention a "Dawson's encephalitis" virus, likely deriving its name not from the West Nile district of Uganda, but from a Rockefeller-linked cancer investigator by the name of Dawson who was clearly affiliated, by NCI contract, with Litton and the IARC laboratory. (157)

Contracts between Litton Bionetics and the US government, printed in a book called the "Special Virus Cancer Program" (military jargon for "Secret Cancer Virus Program") describe a search for a "human cancer virus" going back to 1962. Contracts describe the scientists attempts at "co-cultivation" and "hybridization" - mixing leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoma and Epstein-Barr virus particles to create or "rescue" or "isolate" new mutant strains of viruses. (158) Other documents show Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute working under contract with Litton Bionetics to create viruses that were functionally identical to HIV. (159) Gallo would later claim to have "discovered" AIDS. "Invented" is more accurate ... but less glamorous.

Northop Grumman Corporation, whose head, Kent Kresa, is also on Rockefellers Council on Foreign Relations, has since bought Litton. (160)
