Gladio, and its successor operations, are about Power and Control.
And I will assert that "power and control" are the currency of the right.
What does this mean?
What is "the right"?
In what sense is Power and Control the "currency" of whatever the right is?
I find this is getting absurd... I pretty much use the term according to this definition:
"In
left-right politics,
right-wing describes an outlook or specific position that accepts or supports
social hierarchy or
social inequality.[SUP]

[2][/SUP][SUP]
[3][/SUP][SUP]
[4][/SUP] Social hierarchy and social inequality is viewed by those affiliated with the Right as either inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[SUP]
[2][/SUP] whether it arises through traditional social differences[SUP]
[5][/SUP] or from competition in market economies.[SUP]
[6][/SUP][SUP]
[7][/SUP] It typically accepts or justifies this position on the basis of
natural law or
tradition.[SUP]

[11][/SUP] The term "right wing" has been used to refer to different political positions through history. The political terms Right and
Left were coined during the
French Revolution (178999), and referred to where politicians sat in the French parliament; those who sat to the right of the chair of the parliamentary president were broadly supportive of the institutions of the monarchist
Ancien Régime.[SUP]
[12][/SUP][SUP]
[13][/SUP][SUP]
[14][/SUP][SUP]
[15][/SUP] The original Right in France was formed as a
reaction against the Left, and comprised those politicians supporting hierarchy, tradition, and
clericalism.[SUP]
[16][/SUP] The use of the expression la droite (the right) became prominent in France after the restoration of the monarchy in 1815, when le droit was applied to describe the
Ultra-royalists.[SUP]
[17][/SUP] In English-speaking countries it was not until the 20th century that people applied the terms "right" and "left" to their own politics.[SUP]
[18][/SUP]
From the 1830s to the 1880s, there was a shift in the
Western world of
social class structure and the economy, moving away from
nobility and
aristocracy, and moving towards the
bourgeoisie and
capitalism.[SUP]
[19][/SUP] This general economic shift towards capitalism affected
centre right movements such as the
British Conservative Party that responded by becoming supportive of capitalism.[SUP]
[20][/SUP]
Although the term 'right-wing' originally designated
traditional conservatives and
reactionaries, it has also been used to describe
neo-conservatives,
nationalists,
racists,
Christian democrats, and
classical liberals.[SUP]

Of course you could have an authoritarian leftist structure as well... control and power and economic model need not be capitalist.. though this seems to be a more common fit.
Strategia Della Tensione means the strategy of tension
strategy is:
Strategy (
Greek "στÏατηγία"stratÄ“gia, "art of troop leader; office of general, command, generalship"[SUP]
[1][/SUP]) is a high level
plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty.
Strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited.
Strategy is also about attaining and maintaining a position of advantage over adversaries through the successive exploitation of known or emergent possibilities rather than committing to any specific fixed plan designed at the outset.
So... what group is employing this strategy? What is their ultimate objective that the strategy (of tension) is in service to?
I am assuming that the term also refers to a climate of fear...
I would imagine it is to simply maintain power and control and the privileges and wealth that accrues to those who have it.
N'est pas?
