DEDICATED TO ALL SEEKERS OF THE TRUTH
On the night of February 28, 1986, I headed the police patrol first at the site of the murder of our Prime Minister, and thereby found myself in the middle of one of the largest political and legal scandals of the 20th century in Sweden. Ever since then, I have gradually come to the conclusion that the responsible authorities have primarily tried to cover up the event. I have read many books, official documents, newspaper articles, etc, and have also spent thousands of hours both alone and together with serious private persons trying to find the truth about this murder. Among the more interesting books, I would like to mention “Coup d’Etat in Slow Motion”. What has been most interesting to me is the fascinating story, the extensive research and also the information concerning global Free Masonic networks. Therefore, I give this book my very best recommendations to all those who are interested in the murder of Olof Palme and the reasons behind it. Gösta Söderström
Very special thanks to Bente Dammegård & Tom Kimball, Ph.D. without whose invaluable help this book would never have materialized
