Cold War194726 September 1991The official narrative had 2 diametrically opposed systems locked in combat with one another since soon after WW2.

Deep state interests blossomed in the climate of fear and paranoia.

Pan Am Flight 10321 December 198821 December 1988When Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland on 21 December 1988, killing all 259 passengers and crew on board, news reports cited UN Assistant Secretary-General, Bernt Carlsson, as its highest-profile victim. US and British intelligence operatives, posing as Lockerbie investigators, ignored the evident targeting of the UN diplomat and instead focused on the jumbo jet. With the result that the wrong country was blamed and an innocent person convicted of the Lockerbie bombing.
