What’s inside
This is the documented record: what officials said in public, what the files show they did, and what they hoped you would never read. Every claim is cited to a public document you can open yourself.
I don’t ask you to believe the official story. I don’t ask you to believe mine. Read the record, follow the money, and ask the oldest question there is. Cui bono? Who benefited.
