It would also be obvious that the massacre by Breivik in Norway had strong connections to the British Establishment; that the mindboggling incompetence shown by the Norwegian authorities lead many Norwegians to the conclusion that the PM at the time - one 'Stoltenberg', who went on to be rewarded with the NATO CEO position for this 'incompetence' - indicates that all these networks of well, fascists, is still in existence.

A decade ago I was personally warned off of my activism by a clear psychopath who obviously believed he could murder me and get away scot-free, and claimed to be from MI5.

Lord alone knows how many such threats Corbyn received during his leadership of Labour, but I think we can confidently assume it was non-zero.

What? Please tell me. I have heard nothing about this. (I am a New Zealander, and we have had a black out of information about the shooter - I assume you mean the Christchurch shooter, who was an Australian btw, not even a New Zealander).

To give one example, presumably because it predates February of 2022.

If you google "Christchurch shooter ukraine" uoi will find frantic attempts to distance the shooter from his Ukrainian buds.

In an effort to understand how US foreign policy works, I recently read The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America’s Secret Government, by David Talbot, Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, The CIA and the Mafia, by Paul Williams, and White Malice: The CIA and the Covert Recolonization of Africa, by Susan Williams.

I had to read Operation Gladio twice to keep track of its revelations and prevent myself from sounding like a tin-hat wearing crazy when I would try to summarize its arguments to friends. I hope the recent focus on the way US sponsored NGOs have been created/used to maintain US empire will lead more people to look much more closely at these things as we try to imagine how to get out from under this mess.

Your writing is essential reading for all of us! It is particularly important in helping us understand Great Britain’s long history of anti-democratic imperialist subversion and the way its spy agencies mentored the US in helping it expand on and carry on this evil work.

It makes me wonder about the true backstories behind a variety of other terror attacks that have been wrapped in simple narratives and put to sleep. 1995 Oklahoma City, 1996 Atlanta, 2002 Bali, 2011 Norway, 2016 Nice, and many more. Maybe these events are all what they seem, but perhaps some are not.

A British - mainland - judge who looked into the NI 'Troubles' once the Accords were signed and personally interviewed many of the pIRA who had been involved, published that he had been utterly shocked that over 90% - OTOH I think it was 92% - of the pIRA members had direct connections to UK Intelligence.

It doesn't take a Sherlock to conclude that those terrorist attacks where the state just randomly gathered up Irishmen and show-trialled into decades long sentences, rather than find the actual miscreants who had committed the acts, were probably by cells that were ENTIRELY UK Intel controlled. False flags, in other words.

The Islamic terrorist who committed the Manchester concert attack a few years back, had actually been banned from the UK, due to being too extremist. The Tories under Theresa May were losing badly in the election, and MI5 removed his ban. He promptly came back, and with very little preparation, committed this act of carnage. The Tories immediately switched to the planned 'Law and Order' messaging. Makes you wonder.

The London 7/7 attacks were by MI5 patsies, and buried the failure of the Gleneagles Summit to end '3rd World Debt' as was widely hoped for at the time.

There were LOTS of valid questions raised about the 'Marathon bombers' under Obomber at the time, although it's so long ago I don't recall the specifics.

The police are not there to 'solve crimes' but to protect property. And the Intel agencies are not there to 'protect us', but to maintain the Establishment's privileges through fair means and more often foul.

I never imagined any of this as a small boy; perhaps learning about such 'realities' is part of growing up.

Interesting stuff! Also worth looking in to: the Belgian “Brabant Killers,” who committed extremely violent armed robberies in the 1980’s right under the nose of the Belgian police. The murders were never solved, but strong rumors surfaced in the 1990’s that they were connected to Gladio. Another interesting Belgian twist is the Marc Dutroux case, which seems eerily similar to Epstein. I’m just an amateur, but I already wrote about Gladio (see point #3) in this Substack piece: https://open.substack.com/pub/fulgurite4779/p/the-global-spook-state

Txs a lot Kit, for this post and the related links to docs.

I just want to add a couple of things about the Operations that Gladio/Nato/Cia executed in Italy at that time.

First of all the "worst" : the explosive used in the Bologna Station massacre belonged to Nato and it was given to a criminal organization to leave that famous bag in the waiting saloon on track 1.

Second, Moro was called by USA before the kidnapping and he flew there. Friends and political persons of his entourage declared he was very preoccupied back in Rome. Probably he received an out out by USA on the PCI entrance in the Government.

Third, witnesses of the kidnap testified they heard the head of the squad giving orders in english...

Fourth, Moro after the kidnap was held in a small apartment complex close to the street where was kidnapped, on the top floor of that building there was an apartment of the italian Secret Service...

Fifth, the Red Brigade originally were composed by blue collar workers at the Alfa Romeo industries and they never killed or shot anybody. They kidnapped a Judge of a famous trial in Genova to make him confess of a forced and corrupted trail sentence. When they released him they told him not to go to Police or any other security corp, but to take a train and go straight to his house. He could have been killed once in the hands of Police or so to blame Red Brigades. And they brought him to the closest train station to releasing him.

Few months after all of the heads of Red Brigades were arrested and sent to a max security prison.

After few months a "new" Red brigade group came out shooting union persons, journalists and so on, robbing and all Gladio style acts. They did not belong to the founders.

At the same time other bombs exploded like Brescia square that killed and injured many by a Fascist Group who's head was an informant of Secret Services.

The connection between Mafia and US belong to WWII and its path and collaboration never ended.

One for all, the bomb on the plane of the famous ENI (State Energy Group) that Killed Enrico Mattei and h collaborators, executed by US orders because he want Italy oil independent by the States/UK Seven Sisters companies... Plus Mafia was in touch with the "new" Red Brigades and others for arms support.

Last but not least, it was never proved but at that times came out that some of those terrorist were trained in Israel for guerrilla and false flag organization.

Least, UK MIxx has been plotting with CIA in most of the Imperialist actions of both. The proof is today, latest news tells that UK is pushing again for the continuation of war and the Britt squads are actively bombing Russia and killing prominent Russia people or bombing commercial centers or civilian places.

As I wrote many time, Anglo Americans are the new Nazis, along with Israel, but not from yesterday but at least from the very beginning of WWII and right after they transformed the World in a World of chaos. Chaos is the preferred condition for Fascists and Nazis to rule others.

Please Putin, drop the bombs! But first on UK!!

‘Operation Gladio’, headquartered in BRITAIN:

.

Kit Karenberg keeps dropping bombshells.

==> Why is Operaton Galdio not taught in civic classes / bigger News ?

.

Key excerpts:

“[T]hese guerrilla factions carried out false flag attacks, assassinations, robberies, mass casualty bombings, and other incendiary acts, while fomenting a “strategy of tension”.

Their objective:

“attack civilians, women, children, innocent people from outside the political arena.

to force the public to turn to the state and ask for greater security…

People would willingly trade their freedom for the security of being able to walk the streets, go on trains or enter a bank. This was the political logic behind the bombings.

They remain unpunished because the state cannot condemn itself.”

(eg. 1980 bombing of Bologna train station by MI6-trained Gladio operatives)

.

Britain as headquarters and training ground for all Europe’s “stay behind” secret armies, with MI6 arming these factions and directing their incendiary activities.

“the meanest of all were the British”

MI6 operatives are trained in every covert discipline, including surveillance, sabotage, assassinations, entrapment, and other black ops.

London secretly continues to perpetuate the Gladio model..

.

Strategised and orchestrated a vast array of belligerent acts, both covert and overt, to escalate the conflict and prevent a negotiated settlement.

.

Security and intelligence agencies “to act without the implicit or explicit approval of a government”

it’s not as if an intelligence service has to tell its government what it does.

An intelligence service that respects the rules doesn’t exist. (MI5)

~ Francesco Cossiga in Bulletin of Italian Politics, a political science journal (2010).

.

Anglo-American intelligence services and NATO, with mafia and fascist paramilitaries, constructed a clandestine “stay behind” armed units.

.

The Masonic lodge was described as just one “subversive” force in Italy employing “terrorism and street violence to provoke …,” in service of a “strategy of tension.”

.

Who was the top guy, the person in charge of the whole Gladio business?

Expand full comment
Jytte's avatar

The top guy? ... who knows ... But:

The initial funding of $200 million came from the Rockefeller and Mellon Foundations according to Paul L. Williams

Quote this article: https://veteranstoday.com/2021/09/11/operation-gladio-global-subversion/

That the money came from the masonic international banking families, who owned these Foundations, shows that Dulles and Donovan were working on the direction of these families. The bankers were not giving away these two hundred million dollars for charity! The money was being given for promoting strife and bloodshed so that their New World Order agenda could be advanced further.

Fascinating piece, Kit. I remember this long-running tragedy at the time and the image of Moro’s body in the boot of a car on the front page of Time or Newsweek. Something never seemed right with any of it. One suggestion about the later assassination of Olof Palme in Sweden was that elements of Stay Behind were involved. His murder along with that of his possible successor, Anna Lindh, changed Sweden, long-term. Doubtful if Sweden would ever have given up its public neutrality stance and become a Western vassal if Palme and Lindh had lived, imo. If peacemakers are marked out for assassination as James W. Douglass writes in ‘JFK and the Unspeakable’, then Palme was certainly a marked man. Almost 40 years of obfuscation and cover-up tell their own story. The Stay Behind rumours persist, despite two very public attempts to pin it on a ‘lone nut’.

Kit Klarenberg's avatar

Thank you for your kind words, Peter! The assassinations of Palme and Hammarskjöld are both underresearched by me. While I don't doubt deep state involvement in either (the latter was, quite blatantly, a British operation and I have my suspicions about the former) primary source material, particularly in English, is unforthcoming. That applies to Gladio too - none of the official inquiry reports (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland) and very few source docs have ever been translated into English. I nonetheless have an investigation on the Swiss Gladio unit, P-26, coming soon.

It's funny (no, it's not really funny at all) to see so much Europe-bashing nowadays, with now both Gringos & Russians mocking European countries & institutions while at the same time forgetting how NATO & the EU from their very conception have been the overt tools for the control of the individual nations in Europe and the erosion of their sovereignty.

And there are the cover tools as well, like Operation Gladio, together with spying, extortion, IP theft, manipulation of the media, etc etc.

Also, the biggest terror attack suffered in Europe to date, the 2004 Madrid bombings, does smell of Gladio-style false flag: the official investigation was sabotaged from the inside of the police forces, the alleged perpetrators have been proven to be patsies who where at the wrong place at the wrong time, the one and only evidence ("the 13th rucksack") that led to the patsies was obviously planted after the event and was not subject to the usual chain of custody, everyone involved in the investigation was richly rewarded with promotions and awards, all evidence -included the complete trains- was destroyed (reminiscent of 9/11), etc etc.

So yes, Gladio is alive and well in Europe and at the same time we have to suffer the moron Vance calling us undemocratic. As if a satrapy could have any agency...

I just missed the bombing at the Bologna train station in August of 1980 on my way to Paris. I was 23 years old and escaping trafficking in the MKUltra and in particular my handler, my mother who was a NATO employee later stationed in London. There's a lot of confused misinformation and deliberate disinformation about the MKUltra but were seeing the complex weapons system that it was and is being rolled out now. It took me several more years to completely escape the MKUltra network and my mother, who was subsequently killed in a small plane crash. She might have been the target or just collateral damage since Senator John Tower who was trying to bring Iran/Contra was also on board. It's difficult for most to grasp the profound level of organized crime in global government with drugs, human and weapons trafficking. My mother organized child trafficking.

Another great article. It's amazing that Operation is Gladio is still so little known and how little it gets discussed in the legacy media which probably explains the former. In fact it is virtually never mentioned in the legacy media. I can't think of a mainstream media outlet mentioning at all in recent memory. Its also amazing that despite Operation Gladio, the almost certain insider hit on JFK, the CIA ops all over the world, the sham narrative surrounding 9/11, the lies told about WMD in Iraq, the lies about Covid, etc etc, that there remains so much trust in governments and its institutions.

The whole system is rotten to the core and yet most people just seem to ignore it all and continue to support their governments.

Anyone challenging the government narrative, echoed by the legacy media (nothing more than the government's propaganda arm), is caricatured variously as dangerous, a nut, or a conspiracy theorist.

Revolutionary change is needed to root out the endemic corruption and to remove the cabal running the world.

By the way Richard Hall, Iain Davis and David Hughes are doing excellent work in this area including the Manchester "Bang". And Richard Hall has been hounded by the deep state and sued for his views on the matter whilst not being allowed to present his argument to the court.
