Behind the Bullet: The Assassination Attempt on John Paul II
On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was gunned down in broad daylight at St. Peter's Square. The world watched in horror. Officials blamed Soviet agents. The Pope forgave his would-be killer. And the deeper truth was buried beneath layers of geopolitical theater and narrative manipulation.
Behind the Bullet unravels the tangled web of covert power that encircled the Vatican at the height of the Cold War. This explosive investigation reveals how Mehmet Ali Agca?a Turkish ultra-nationalist with ties to NATO's Gladio network and Italy's shadow government?may have been more pawn than lone wolf. Was the KGB truly behind the plot? Or was the "Bulgarian connection" a Cold War smokescreen, designed to silence a Pope who was resisting CIA manipulation, exposing Vatican financial corruption, and challenging the mafia-linked P2 Masonic lodge?
This book challenges the official version of events and explores how Western intelligence agencies, deep-state operatives, rogue Vatican insiders, and disinformation architects shaped not only the assassination attempt but the story told about it. It exposes how Agca's madness may have been a tactical performance to ensure his survival?and how narrative control replaced justice.
From Vatican intrigue to intelligence psyops, from false flags to spiritual propaganda, Behind the Bullet uncovers the untold war between truth and power?fought through a Pope's blood, a gunman's silence, and a world too willing to forget.
