Thanks Jan. The 2nd article by Willy van Damme has been translated to English and is available HERE.
If I have read him (and the Googlish translation) correctly, he is pointing to the blowback explanation. It either has to be blowback or strategy of tension imo. And at this point I think back to all the strange inconsistencies of the Charlie Hedbo attack - where a Charlie journalist reported that one of the two attackers had "blue eyes, beautiful blue eyes) which neither of the killed attackers had. Plus there were many other curiosities circulating that affair. I also think of the equally strange San Bernardino husband and wife terrorist attacks - a story which suddenly went completely silent by the US media... after the third eye-witness stepped forward to say it could not have been them -- it was three white guys.
These inconsistencies and many others besides, strongly suggest to me that a strategy of tension - and not blowback - is the cause of what we are witnessing.
I would point out that it took several decades before the Gladio operations in Europe during the cold war - including the Bologna train bombing, the kidnap and murder of prime minister Aldo Mori etc etc., were officially acknowledged to be CIA/Pentagon/Gladio operations and not the so called Red Brigades who took the blame at the time. I would also point out that not one Gladio operative, as far as I know, has ever been brought to justice for these atrocities, even though they are now acknowledged.
Will we see the same thing happening again in 20 or 30 years from now?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
