Operation Gladio

[Jan Klimkowski]

Magda - excellent work, as usual! :handkiss:

The heart of Gladio is the recruitment of extreme right-wing elements, who specialized in the ruthless use of violence to achieve their ends, by American & British intelligence. These elements included hardcore, unreformed Nazis, and their compadres such as Croatian Ustaša. Their recruiters were usually far right elements within western Europe & the WASP/capitalist establishment, who were rabidly anti-communist and supporters of rapacious, imperialist, capitalism best symbolized perhaps by the behaviour of the United Fruit Company.

The control of Gladio elements in Europe was highly compartmentalized, and sometimes non-existent. Nazi spymaster Gehlen was pretty much allowed to do what he liked, and ended up running post-war West German intelligence.

The little we know of Gladio is still a litany of shame and horror.

For instance, a Gladio faction tried to assassinate DeGaulle for taking France out of NATO.

Another Gladio faction staged a military coup d'etat in Greece.

Permindex, of Clay Shaw notoriety, was a Gladio cut-out.

Gladio factions perpetrated brutal false-flag bombings in Italy, as part of a "strategy of tension" - a disgraceful euphemism for war crimes against a civilian population.

Look beneath the surface of Gladio, and one finds a vast intelligence-industrial-political complex operating completely out of public view. Run by rabid far right elements who absolutely believe that the End justifies ruthless and bloody Means.

Gladio is not just the "most damaging, political-military secret since World War II". Gladio is proof that WW2 never really ended, and that the politics truly was all theatre.
