Jan, I appreciate your contributions to the Gladio-like argument. I am generally conversant in the tactic, though not above reading more deeply or even having my head held gently face-down in the material. (That's not a dig or a snide remark; one of my own mantras is "immersion, immediacy, intensity".) It is entirely possible that you are right on the money. But here's my degree of discomfort with the thesis of Gladio: I wonder if one needs to look even deeper than Gladio, and understand how Gladio arrived, and who the puppeteers were who handled the strings in the run-up to Gladio, and in the creation of the agencies and theories of Gladio and the greater strategies of the creation of fear and tension even before Gladio arrived. This perhaps derives from my readings about Skull and Bones, the Hegelian dialectic, and secret societies. But I haven't finished that research yet either... And I have limited amounts of time I can throw at this on a daily basis.
