Operation Gladio

[Dawn Meredith]

Nice to hear there is more documentation now, but this is not news to me. Gehlen Org., indeed....and their strange bedfellows called the C.I.A.....then newborn from the OSS and some other 'threads'. Gladio goes back before there was a program named Gladio, just as fascism goes back in history way, way before Mussolini coined the term. In its current form, the 'Gladio' concept was the still-born child of one Otto Skorzeny...but he, in turn, had learned it from others before him. Sadly, it is with us still....I believe in 9-11-01 and many subsequent events....all under a very big umbrella I would that I'd put the name 'Gladio' on the folder for.....indeed, I do believe I have that folder around here....somewhere.....::

Carl Oglesby was heavily researching both Gehlen and Skorzeny in the 80's. He tried for years via Freedom of Information to obtain the Gehlen files. In the mid 90's he was finally successful and the boxes half filled a good sized bedroom. The rest of the room was filled with boxes of FBI files on Carl. For anyone interested all the Gehlen (and related files of Carl O) were donated by Carl to U Mass Amherst. (MA).
