The Truth about Lockerbie - MartinFrost.ws

A tale of three atrocities
had tampered with the RARDE evidence, I realised the most likely culprit was **Orkin. **Orkin is a
mysterious CIA man who FBI investigator Marquise refers to in his book, by that pseudonym 65 .
According to Marquise, **Orkin was present when Thurman identified the MEBO circuit board. So I
wondered if I could find his real name. A quick Google search and a simple logical elimination of a
couple of other characters left me with *Toplady's real name in less than half an hour.
What next?
I've wanted the story of Lockerbie to end for many years. Four years ago, I finally thought the mystery
was solved, but I've come on so much further since. Perhaps no one will ever know the full truth 30
years after the event.
But now I've finally reached a conclusion in my journey, I feel a certain sense of relief and intellectual
satisfaction over the evidence I've managed to collect. So what do I hope to achieve from my efforts?
First, I would like Mr Megrahi to be vindicated and the Crown to abandon any possibility that he,
Fhimah or Libya had anything to do with Lockerbie. I want the British Government to apologise to him
and compensate him as much as possible. Unfortunately, by the time the full story is out, he will
probably be dead.
Second, I want an open, independent, fair public enquiry to look at all those things that Jim Swire and
the Lockerbie families have called for over the years, and have never been given, nor I fear will ever be
given. Eventually, I believe charges can be brought against three CIA men, and possibly one Iranian,
though I believe him to be dead. There will also be huge consequences for the Scottish judicial system,
which they managed to stitch up. Certain British Government agencies are not above criticism, and if
not criminally culpable, though some are, I think their officers should have behaved better. We need to
be able to believe that our institutions and agencies can be trusted, and I fear we have been badly let
down. Finally, I want people to come out and say “I've known that for years” or to simply see the CIA
fabrication for what it was.
Finally, there are questions for the US Government. Can an agency as out of control as the CIA be
allowed to continue to exist? Will the US now properly compensate the Iranians for their losses? Will
the Iranians give up their traditional, though murderous, Qesas retribution demands? Qesas fits ill when
whole lives are demanded in revenge, for only an individual has the right to determine what s/he can do
with his or her life.
But what about me? Have I achieved what I want – to be a true executor of my brother's will by
resolving everything that I can pertaining to his death, including Lockerbie? Perhaps. I'm a strict
agnostic so can't begin to guess at what he'd think about all of this from beyond the grave. He might
say I got it right but, knowing him as I did, he'd also say “You took a bloody long time over it.”
