"Strategy of Tension"

Operation Gladio is a historical fact. Gladio was a post-World War II program established by the CIA and NATO reportedly to thwart future Soviet/communist invasions or influence in Italy and Western Europe. In fact, it became a state-sponsored right-wing terrorist network, involved in false flag operations and the subversion of democracy.

…testimony of Vincenzo Vinciguerra, former member of neo-fascist group ‘ORDINE NUOVO’… (The New Order)

“…Peteano (bombing/massacre) was an act of war with a very simple motive… The police forces, the security forces and those political groups which make use of the secret services and the security forces have manipulated Italian neo-fascism. They have been doing this for a long time… ever since 1945 or 1946.

Peteano was born as an act of revolt against this manipulation, a retaliation against the State.

When you were on the ‘right’ you were not supposed to attack the State or its representatives… you were supposed to attack civilians, women, children, innocent people outside of the political arena for one simple reason: to force the Italian public to turn to the State, turn to the Regime and as for greater security. This was precisely the role of the ‘right’ in Italy.

It placed itself at the service of the State which created a strategy aptly called the “Strategy of Tension” in so far as they had to get people to accept that at any moment, over a period of thirty years, from 1960 to the mid-eighties, a ‘state of emergency’ could be declared. So, people would willingly trade part of their freedom for the security of being able to walk the streets, go on trains or enter a bank.

This is the political logic behind all the bombings.

They remain unpunished, because the State cannot condemn itself.”

…doesn’t this sound familiar? like history is repeating itself… bombings in NYC and Boston, children murdered at Sandy Hook… to force the public to turn to the State, turn to the Regime and as for greater security.
