During the Cold War NATO along with intelligence agencies armed and funded stay-behind armies to act as resistance in the event of a Soviet invasion. Inquires carried out by the Belgium and Italian parliaments established that Operation Gladio was behind several atrocities across Western Europe in the 1970s and 80s. Gladio teams carried out terrorist operations as part of a strategy of tension. The resulting fear was used to manipulate public perception, while the blame was put on political dissidents. Adrian Connock & David Shayler, 9/11 & the BBC
It has now been documented beyond a doubt in the historical records that the CIA/MI6 teamed up with very very secretive parallel elements of European intelligence services and orchestrated terrorist attacks to mobilise the public against the Left, against the communists and so forth, and this would be really shocking to people if they knew that this is what happened. This is what happened. The best book about on it is Daniel Ganser’s book, NATO’s Secret Armies. This is serious academic stuff. Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, The War on Freedom: Causes & Consequences of 9/11, Institute for Policy Research & Development, interview Oil, Smoke & Mirrors
Gladio as it is defined nowadays forms part of what I have always referred to as ‘parallel structures’. This is an invisible army that is not poised for battle against a hypothetical invader, but rather one meant to be used internally against what the military has always called the Fifth Column of the USSR: the Communist Party and the extreme left. Vincenzo Vinciguerra, former member of neo-fascist group Ordine Nuovo, televised interview
These parallel structures used the extreme Right for the simple reason that they fought the communists. In 1945 the Second World War ended and the Third World War started. ibid.
You were supposed to attack civilians, women, children, innocent people outside the political arena. For one simple reason: to force the Italian public to turn to the State, turn to the regime and ask for greater security. That was precisely the role of the Right in Italy. It placed itself at the service of the State which created a strategy aptly called the Strategy of Tension. In so far as they had to get people to accept that at any moment over a period of thirty years, from 1960 to the mid-1980s, a State of Emergency could be declared. ibid.
They remain unpunished because a State cannot condemn itself. ibid.
The massacre at Bologna came at a time of maximum concern on the part of the Italian, American and Allied Secret Services because of the electoral success of the Italian Communist Party. The massacre at Bologna responds, as do all the other massacres, to the logic of a State who no longer knowing how to confront a political enemy resorts to extreme measures of violence, attributable to extremists on the Left. ibid.
Ordine Nuovo never had its own ideology. They called themselves National Socialists. ibid.
Go back to 1969 ... Suddenly a lot of bombs go off. And they kill people all over the place. And everybody’s scared. And you have this effect of terror; the first effect of terror is fear ... In 2001/2 you have the trial in Italy and you find out it was not the communists, it was right-wing people, it was people from the Catholic’s camp – it was a false flag operation. Daniele Ganser
Gladio was set up in 1948, and operational by the end of the year. It was formed with a very careful choice of personnel. Many were in the Spanish Civil War. Many came from the ranks of the fascist Repubblica di Salo. People who could handle arms. They were in squads of nine people with two leaders Licio Gelli, former head of P2 Lodge
For forty years secret terrorist organisations, many trained by Western intelligence agencies, have manipulated the political control of European sovereign states by a campaign of terror and murder. Originally part of a secret network, these groups changed from being defenders of state security into attackers of the established political order. Until two years ago that secret network was generally known by the single word Gladio. Timewatch: Operation Gladio: The Ring Masters, BBC 1992
As the Germans withdrew they left behind secret agents in the countries they’d occupied. The secret services called such groups ‘stay-behinds’. For the retreating Germans they were the staunchest believers. They were selected from the SS and fascist black legions. They would become the foot soldiers of the next war about to begin – the Cold War. ibid.
Secret Service documents from several member countries reveal Gladio to be a European-wide organisation including Denmark, Norway, Holland, Spain, Turkey and Greece. All Gladio’s secret information is coordinated in Brussels through the CPC – Clandestine Planning Committee – which meets periodically, with the chairmanship being handed from one country’s secret service to the next. The entire organisation is handled outside NATO. ibid.
In 1980 a bomb exploded at Bologna Railway Station which killed eighty-six people. Six years later an official report revealed the existence of an invisible government in Italy run by the state secret services and groups of political terrorists. It also identified a military and civilian organisation under which neo-fascist groups were allowed to commit atrocities against civilians for political motives. Timewatch: Operation Gladio: The Puppeteers
On December 7th 1970 Prince Valerio Borghese organised neo-fascists in an attempt to overthrow the Italian government. The Italian ministry of the interior was to be captured. But after units had moved into position, a telephone call cancelled the entire operation. In the aftermath of the aborted coup, the existence of the parallel structures of Gladio was uncovered. ibid.
On March 16th 1978 the Italian left-wing terrorists kidnapped the former Italian prime minister Mr Aldo Moro. On that day the Italian parliament was about to debate the inclusion of the Italian Communist Party in a government of national unity for the first time since 1948. Aldo Moro had long believed that this was the only solution for political stability in Italy. Timewatch: Operation Gladio: Foot Soldiers
Indonesia was strategically important. It had a huge population. And the CIA believed their prime minister, Sukarno, was going to open up the country to communism. The CIA made a bizarre decision. They tried to blacken prime-minister Sukarno’s name by making the world’s first celebrity porn film. They hired a Sukarno lookalike and filmed him enjoying the company of a young lady who wasn’t his wife. But the CIA failed to realise that Sukarno was already a famed womaniser, and this movie had no impact at all on his popularity. So when this amusing attempt to get rid of him failed, the CIA turned to something a lot less funny – black operations. ibid.
Sukarno was driven from power. After the coup the CIA worked together with the generals to ensure every single communist in Indonesia was killed. ibid.
It was a purposeful destabilisation of Italy’s largest bank by a group called the P2. Dr Jonathan Levy, interview Alex Jones 22nd May 2009
Two members of a neo-fascist group were convicted of the [Bologna] bombing. Also convicted for diverting the investigation were two Italian intelligence agents who were members of the P2 Masonic lodge. 7/7 The Big Picture
It became clear that P2 was not just a Masonic Order but a CIA-funded parallel government. The list of members of the lodge was found in a raid on Licio Gelli’s house in 1981. Among the 962 names were the heads of all three Intelligence Services, forty-eight MPs, industrialists, bankers, media moguls, journalists, civil servants, judges, military officials, and Sylvio Berlusconi. ibid.
P2: an elite, ultra-secretive, neo-fascist, Masonic cabal, involved in money laundering, assassination and false-flag terrorism ... Licio Gelli was P2’s Grandmaster ... member of the Italian black shirt brigade. Satanic Vatican
Gelli and P2 played a role in the October Surprise and the murder of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme. ibid.
After fleeing Italy in 1982 Brother Calvi [Vatican Bank] is found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge. ibid.
John Paul I: Among those whose resignations would be accepted by the Pontiff the following day were the head of the Vatican Bank and several members of the Curia ... No death certificate for Pope John Paul I has been made public. ibid
