9-7-1985 Having first appeared at the end of the '70s in New York, AIDS has become by 1985 one of the most dangerous diseases in the world. In the USA alone, more than 12400 cases have been registered, of which around one half have died. According to the estimates of American physicians, the number of AIDS cases doubles every half year. Currently, around three million persons in the USA are carriers of the AIDS virus. Since the disease has a very long incubation period (one to five years), identifying it at an early stage, when there is still hope of curing the patient, is extremely difficult. Despite the fact that American and French scientists were able to isolate the AIDS virus in 1983, it was not possible to create effective drugs and treatment methods for this disease. By 1985 AIDS has spread far beyond the United States: numerous cases of AIDS have been reported in almost all countries that import donated blood from the United States. The World Health Organization has declared AIDS to be one of the most dangerous diseases on earth….
An indirect indicator of the Pentagon’s involvement in the work with the AIDS virus is that it has been namely the military that has achieved the most significant results in the fight against the disease. Military medical centers in the USA, including the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Fort Detrick, Maryland have developed in the strictest secrecy quite effective methods for the early detection of the disease, its treatment at this stage and appropriate medications. This allows it to limit the spread of AIDS in the U.S. Army and dramatically reduce the number of fatalities, which naturally affects the combat capability of soldiers. At the same time, the Pentagon is not in a hurry to share its achievements in this area with civilian medical institutions, given that it is namely the AIDS patients in civilian hospitals upon whom the Pentagon’s experts are studying the effects of people being infected with the AIDS virus. https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/208946

(a) General rule
Except as provided in subsections (b), (c), and (e)…
(b) Unavoidable adverse side effects; warnings
(1) No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.

You can’t sue Pfizer or Moderna if you have severe Covid vaccine side effects. The government likely won’t compensate you for damages either. Under the PREP Act, 2005, companies like Pfizer and Moderna have total immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines. A little-known government program provides benefits to people who can prove they suffered serious injury from a vaccine. That program rarely pays, covering just 29 claims over the last decade….You also can’t sue the Food and Drug Administration for authorizing a vaccine for emergency use, nor can you hold your employer accountable if they mandate inoculation as a condition of employment. ………………………………
5-5-2018 In the 57-page opinion written by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court explained that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA or Act) preempts all design-defect claims against vaccine manufacturers brought by plaintiffs seeking compensation for injury or death caused by a vaccine’s side effects. The Court’s 6-2 decision reasoned that “a vaccine side effect could always have been avoidable by use of a different vaccine not containing the harmful element." According to an article from Reuters, the vaccine court has awarded more than $1.8 billion for vaccine injury claims in nearly 2,500 cases since 1989.
After the ruling, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) president O. Marion Burton applauded the Supreme Court’s decision in a statement. He noted that the “decision protects children by strengthening our national immunization system” https://www.policymed.com/2011/03/supreme-court-rules-in-favor-of-protecting-vaccine-makers-from-state-lawsuits.html

one particular episode ~1982-1983 at a diplomatic reception at the American Embassy in Mexico City, where he had had too much to drink and became involved in a loud and boisterous argument with a Cuban official. On another occasion Ames was involved in a traffic accident in Mexico City and was so drunk he could not answer police questions or recognize the U.S. Embassy officer sent to help him….Late 1983, when Ames returned to headquarters in September 1983, he was made counterintelligence branch chief for Soviet operations, responsible for analyzing selected CIA operations involving Soviet "assets." In this counterintelligence function, Ames was in a position to gain access to all CIA operations involving Soviet intelligence officers worldwide. Judging from his performance appraisals, Ames performed well in his new assignment in the SE Division. His ratings were noticeably improved over those in Mexico City. He was judged "above average" and described as "something of a Soviet scholar...(with) considerable experience in working sensitive cases." He was also cited as a good manager. On April 17, 1984 Ames notified the CIA of his intention to marry Rosario. In accordance with CIA policy, this triggered a background investigation of Rosario. On August 27, 1984 Rosario was given a polygraph exam, which is standard procedure for a foreign national marrying a CIA officer. She passed the exam with no indication of deception. The Office of Security completed a background investigation of Rosario on November 5, 1984 which included interviews with five of her friends and associates, some of whom commented that "she came from a prominent, wealthy family in Colombia." However CIA did not conduct any specific financial checks in Colombia to verify these statements….Ames later told Senator DeConcini that these financial difficulties led him to first contemplate espionage between December 1984 and February 1985. https://irp.fas.org/congress/1994_rpt/ssci_ames.htm

May 13, 1984 CIA Director William J. Casey is disputing an Internal Revenue Service claim that he owes at least $100,000 in back taxes, plus interest, for deductions he took on two 1970s partnership ventures. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1984/05/13/cia-director-disputes-irs-claim-to-100000-in-back-taxes/fba60ee7-9afc-4ae5-8fa4-c7d5528dd9c6/

The public relations staff has consistently portrayed the CIA as the most open intelligence agency in the world, heroically protecting national security while accepting the necessity of Congressional oversight. But despite these public statements, Agency officials worked to revitalize the "culture of secrecy." They have dramatically restricted the ability of former employees to write critically about CIA activities; they have successfully lobbied Congress for exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); and they have repeatedly broken promises to de-classify historical records. Agency officials have been obsessed with protecting their image, and this obsession has frequently undermined historical research. -D. McCarthy, 2008 https://scholarworks.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3126&context=etd
