I had a special interest in this material about the murky Italian business organization called the Centro Mondiale Commerciale, and sometimes termed Permindex.
The reason I did was something that comes through in this wonderful translation done by expert linguists Albert Rossi and Paz Marverde, who are both fluent in Italian/English. Way back in the early nineties, when I was working on the first edition of Destiny Betrayed, I was puzzled by an entry in Clay Shaw's address book to a Princess Marcella Borghese. The Borghese family was a rather infamous rightwing Italian klan who attempted a coup in 1970, reportedly with the help of commando Otto Skorzeny and his Paladin group. In all of our wonderful research community at that time, only Mae Brussel noted the importance of that detail. Everyone else sort of ignored it.
But my thought was why would someone who declared himself a Wilson-Roosevelt-Kennedy liberal, as Shaw did, be associating with the Borghese family? I sensed this was part of a cover up around Shaw to hide who he really was. Another part of the lie was his alleged association with CMC. Shaw said he was called to Rome by them after the fact, to give some advice since he ran the ITM in New Orleans. Yet, I uncovered an internal Time-Life document which contradicted this. It said that from their reporting, Shaw was sent to Italy BEFORE the CMC was announced, to help organize it in advance after it was ejected from Switzerland. Again, why lie about something like that? The discoveries coming out of Canada from the Bloomfield archives, and Metta's work, now seem to expose the worst about all this. In fact, the Bloomfield family wants the Montreal archives shut down.
It seems to me that what CMC was a part of was the resistance to, and reversal of, JFK's policy in Italy as described by David Talbot in his book The Devil's Chessboard. On the advice of Schlesinger, Kennedy visited Italy in 1963 and pushed a policy which, in English was called "the opening". This meant that the socialists would be brought into the Christian Democratic Party. Both Harvey and Angleton were dead set against this. As had been Eisenhower and was Henry Luce. Yet Kennedy openly advocated it in his trip there in 1963. Needless to say after Kennedy's death this was subverted. (See Talbot, Chapter 17)
Anyway, this provides a background to this fine translation by Mr. Rossi and Ms Marverde of Metta's interesting work:
