Explosion Norway

[Jan Klimkowski]

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.

Ed - sometimes phrases such as MK-ULTRA or Gladio are used very narrowly.

For instance, the evidence for MK-ULTRA is, essentially, a box of files that Gottlieb (if I remember correctly) forgot to shred. In other words, it is the known above the water tip of what many, including myself, believe to be a large iceberg. Many of the mind control programmes were run by agencies and cutouts other than CIA. However, "MK-ULTRA" is often used as a convenient shorthand to refer to black operations to attempt to control the human mind in the whole.

Similarly with Gladio. This is often narrowly defined as Nazi stay behind cells in the immediate post-WW2 period. Technically, Gladio refers merely to the Italian manifestation of such cells being used in false flag terror attacks, such as the Bologna bombing, which were blamed on supposedly leftist terror groups such as the Red Brigades.

However, the concept of Gladio begins with a deal between Hitler's eastern front spymaster Gehlen, British intelligence, and the OSS, including Dulles.

Once created, this network of secret weapons caches, known to include intelligence cells containing hardened military veterans, often pro-Nazi elements with links to the Paperclip ratlines, provided plentiful opportunies to the Sponsors of Gladio.

Opportunties beyond the notion of a "partisan" army to rise up after the hypothesized invasion of western Europe by the Red Army.

Eg facilitating a coup in Greece. Perpetrating false flag terror attacks in Italy, Portugal and Belgium. Destabilizing Turkey.

The assassination attempts on DeGaulle have been persuasively linked to French Gladio elements.

Permindex smells like a board of Gladio Facilitators.

It is entirely plausible that the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II was carried out by a Gladio cell named the Grey Wolves, to be blamed on the USSR (or one of its proxies), designed to create Fear, Terror, Fury, Despair.

The above is some of the known activity of Gladio.

However, philosophically the strategia della tensione is ancient and occult.

It is the unleashing of Chaos to mould Base Matter as the Chosen Ones decide.

Ewen Cameron stuck electrodes on a person's head in his Sleep Room and wiped their brain to create a Tabula Rasa.

The murder of civilians, particularly of women and children, creates Numbness and Horror, and a willingness to accept draconian measures to restore a sense of Sanctuary and Safety.
