The Truth about Lockerbie - MartinFrost.ws

A tale of three atrocities
The CIA are not like a choir of schoolboys – everyone knows they have some form in influencing public
opinion. Just one example – Encounter was a 1950s magazine about international relations and poetry.
All its money came from the CIA and it was used to disseminate CIA propaganda.
I believe these articles were planted by the CIA conspirators to prepare the public for their accusations
against Megrahi. However principled the journalist, it would be hard for them to resist being fed an
interesting, helpful story. All the Independent articles were written by the same two journalists – David
Black and Harvey Morris. Harvey Morris had not published anything for a month before the flurry of
Independent articles about Lockerbie, but subsequently returned to his reporting duties, publishing
nearly every day. Perhaps there was an innocent explanation or perhaps he had been on sabbatical
gathering information for his big story.
lArranging some trial witnesses
Once the CIA had Megrahi in the frame, it was easy to find witnesses to testify against him. Gauci
became one and Giaka, a key witness in the Megrahi case, had a pre-existing relationship with the
CIA. According to Megrahi's lawyers, Tony Gauci and his brother Paul were later paid $2 million and $1
million respectively by the US Department of Justice 63, but had no interest in entering the FBI's witness
protection program. Giaka, meanwhile, was a Libyan double agent who had offered his services to the
CIA in August 1988 and subsequently did so 64 .
Box out: Who were the CIA men
I believe I have identified the three senior CIA operatives at the heart of the Lockerbie plot. I shall term
them *Hantzauman, *Cattermole and *Toplady to avoid legal problems. However, I'm sure anyone who
decides to investigate my theory further can find the evidence to identify and indict them for
themselves.
I found *Hantzauman first. He has contributed widely to media debate around Lockerbie ever since
leaving the CIA, and has, on more than one occasion, given rather too much away. It is clear that he
wants to draw attention away from his own guilt by 'controversially' challenging the Libyan attribution
himself and instead looking to place the blame elsewhere - something I find extraordinary for a man
who more than one witness has observed as being on the ground at Lockerbie. So I began to
research this man and I found that, four months before Lockerbie and after the downing of the
Vincennes, he met with McKee. I started wondering – is *Hantzauman somehow involved in Lockerbie?
Later I found him, once again, popping up throughout the Lockerbie story at some surprising junctures.
*Cattermole had a huge role in developing the theory that Lockerbie was due to the Libyans, even after
he left the CIA. In fact, it was his parting gift. When I investigated his background, I discovered a lot of
the operations against Libya by the US were orchestrated by him. If someone framed Libya, it was this
man.
To find the third CIA man – *Toplady – I did a bit of data mining on the internet. Once I knew the CIA
