History crying lone wolf

GEORGE Orwell said history is written by the winners.

If that is to be believed, then we need to stop believing history.

For example, we are told that nearly all political assassinations and attempted ones have been committed by lone wolves men acting alone and, more often than not, with a mental disorder.

And if conspirators were involved - as even official historians sometimes concede - they have never been prosecuted and could never have been orchestrated by our own intelligence agencies.

Our own secret services would never do such a thing... would they? Many people are unaware of this lone-wolf trope that has woven itself into the tapestry of history.

And yet many of the most significant turning points in history seem to have hinged on a lone wolf acting out his own crazed plan.

Official history tells us that every assassination and attempt on the life of a serving U.S. president has been committed by a lone wolf.
