	Operation Gladio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Gladio was a clandestine "stay-behind" operation sponsored by the CIA and NATO to counter communist influence after World War II in Italy, as well as in other European countries, which has been involved in various terrorist acts.
		Gladio's existence came to public knowledge when Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti revealed it to the Chamber of Deputies on October 24, 1990, although far-right terrorist Vincenzo Vinciguerra had already revealed its existence during his 1984 trial.
		According to the perpetrator of the Oktoberfest bomb blast of 1980 in Munich, the explosives came from a Gladio cache near the village of Uelzen in the Lüneburger Heide.

	Gladio in Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While "stay-behind" networks existed in all NATO countries, the Italian branch of Gladio was the first one to be discovered.
		Gladio was involved in "la strategia della tensione" during the "lead years", which started with Piazza Fontana bombing in December, 1969.
		Thirty years later, during a trial of right-wing extremists, General Giandelio Maletti, former head of Italian counter-intelligence, claimed that the massacre had been carried out by the Italian stay-behind army and right wing terrorists on orders of the CIA in order to discredit the Italian Communist Party (PCI).

		In addition, Gladio became a focal point for fascist members of "Marine Star" a veteran's group set up after the Second World War, and was to make use of other fascist groups in the 70s and 80s.
		Gladio was "officially disbanded" by the Italian government in December 1990 after the story broke.
		The most important lesson to be learnt from the Gladio story; the whole Stay Behind network and the situation in Britain during the 70s is that the right-wing establishment will, quite literally, stop at nothing to prevent a popular anti-capitalist movement (or one perceived as such) displacing it from power.

	GLADIO: THE SECRET U.S. WAR TO SUBVERT ITALIAN DEMOCRACY

		The link to Gladio was made in later testimony by a former general in the secret service.

		As Gladio winds down and governments on the continent declare they have shut down their parts of the operation, the silence in Whitehall and the almost total lack of curiosity among MPs about an affair in which Britain was so centrally involved are remarkable.
		Gladio, the Observer asserts in the first paragraph, without a shred of supporting argument or evidence, "was set up with the best intentions".
		The favourite of the CIA, and undoubtedly of Henry Kissinger himself, was Ordine Nuovo, led by Pino Rauti, the avowed admirer of Hitler and Himmler.

	Sword Play And Operation Gladio
		This was the essence of Operation Gladio, a decades-long covert campaign of terrorism and deceit directed by the intelligence services of the West -- against their own populations.
		Using right-wing militias, underworld figures, government provocateurs and secret military units, Gladio not only carried out widespread terrorism, assassinations and electoral subversion in democratic states such as Italy, France and West Germany, but also bolstered fascist tyrannies in Spain and Portugal, abetted the military coup in Greece and aided Turkey's repression of the Kurds.
		The Bologna atrocity is an example of what Gladio's masters called "the strategy of tension" -- fomenting fear to keep populations in thrall to "strong leaders" who will protect the nation from the ever-present terrorist threat.

		In November 1995, Neo-Fascists terrorists Valerio Fioravanti and Francesca Mambro were convicted to life imprisonment as executors of the 1980 Bologna massacre, for which Gladio's direct influence was proven during the investigation; Licio Gelli, P2's headmaster, received a sentence for investigation diversion, as well as Francesco Pazienza and SISMI officers Pietro Musumeci and Giuseppe Belmonte.
		According to Juretzko, the BND built up its branch of Gladio, but discovered after the fall of the GDR that it was 100% known to the Stasi early on.

	Operation Gladio, Clockwork Orange, and P2
		There, some of the 15,000 members of "Gladio," including senior officers of the army, paramilitary police and intelligence services, were involved in a series of murky intrigues aimed at destabilizing the Italian state and two abortive military coups in 1970 and 1974.
		Explosives from "Gladio" caches and "Gladio" members were implicated in a wave of terrorist attacks, including the 1980 Bologna's train station bombing that killed 85 people.
		Charges are flying that "Gladio" may somehow be behind the resurgence of the Red Brigades in a baroque plot to destabilize Italy's current leftwing governments.

		Now to the ''gray zone'': It is true that Vinciguerra did not mention the name ''Gladio'' at the time, nor did he say he had received the orders for his terrorist acts from Gladio commanders.
		But there are other segments of the military, who still adhere to a strict code of honor, some of them might speak out more in the future, distance themselves from the criminal elements, and give their side of the story.
