- -- -- Last week, a secret paramilitary group
(formerly?) allied with America was busted in Turkey. Thirteen
members of a shadowy right-wing group in Turkey were charged
with "forming an armed terrorist group in order to provoke
members of the public into armed revolt against the
government."

"The detention
in Istanbul last week of alleged members of a shadowy Turkish
ultranationalist group has revived charges that elements within
the Turkish security apparatus have long tried to destabilize
the country through a campaign of bombings and assassinations.
These allegedly include false flag operations that have been
attributed to Kurdish separatists and violent Islamists... The
Turkish media have claimed that the latest arrests follow
intelligence reports that the gang was planning to carry out a
series of high level assassinations...what Turks call... deep
state has its origins in what are commonly called Gladio
operations " - Mass Arrests Expose Operations of Turkey's
"Deep State" - By Gareth Jenkins
The use of
proxy mercenary forces to terrorize nations into submitting to
US political demands has been the cornerstone of American
foreign policy since at least the era of the Berlin Wall, and it
still is.
"Terrorism - the
use of violence and threats to intimidate or to coerce, esp. for
political purposes."
According to this definition from
Dictionary.com, the
government of the United States of America is the primary source of state
terrorism in the world.
In Europe, the American government actively
sought to eliminate political opposition to its fascist world
plans through the use of open violent repression and covert
terroristic "false flag" attacks upon popular patriotic
resistance movements and their leaders. Using ultra right-wing
homegrown fascists, in both Europe and America, secret
paramilitary militias were created, called "Stay Behind" forces
at the end of World War II. Since then, the CIA activated these
groups to successfully quash anti-American liberal and social
democratic popular resistance movements. The agency denies
this, but the series of exposes of their network in Europe since
1990 have proven the professed denials to be false.
The secret American plans to turn dissent
into a weapon for destroying democracy were applied equally, yet
differently, in America and Europe. Here, the procedure called
for using more subtlety, as opposed to Europe, where everything
would happen outside of the controlled environment of the
corporate US media. In Europe, so-called "pro-communist" forces
could be fought more aggressively, using secretive groups like
Gladio to physically attack the antiwar, Labor-oriented and
liberal protest movements. Behind the scenes, terror attacks
were carried-out by anonymous sources to be blamed on the
opposition party. Using the extreme right-wing Gladio forces in
this manner, as well as infiltrating and sabotaging leftist
groups from within, proved devastating at the polls. People ran
away from the resistance in droves, seeking security in the
waiting arms of the fascists and the all-powerful state. But
many people did also see through the BS of the "official story"
of events like the bombing of a train stations in Bologna,
Italy.
The secret plans for Europe entailed large
covert paramilitary units in every NATO nation, that were
trained and ready to suppress all anti-American protests by
liberals and social democrats. The official name of the covert
programs was "Gladio." The official cover story (and its
original purpose) was that these right-wing paramilitary units
were "Stay Behind" forces, which were created as copies of the
French "underground" resistance, to be activated upon a Soviet
conquest and occupation of Europe. The Stay Behind/Gladio
forces saw a change of mission in the sixties, when the European
socialist/liberal alliance began to awaken strong nationalist
movements in every NATO country.
The following three-part investigation from
the BBC, entitled "Timewatch – Operation Gladio" can be seen at
either YouTube (part 1 of 15 is embedded below),
The Timewatch investigation documents the
secret formation of these neo-fascist units throughout Europe,
highlighting individual local leaders and their personal
testimony about participating in armed attacks upon government
armories and supermarkets, as well as terror bombings, like the
bomb that was detonated at Bologna's train station, killing 85
and wounded over 200. Other revelations from the video about
the operation include a damning investigation of Gladio by the
European Union, interviews with key Gladio players like neocon
Michael Ledeen, shadowy Iran/Contra figures Gen. John Singlaub,
CIA spokesmen like former Director William Colby and Ray Cline,
as well as pivotal controversial documentation on secret Army
participation.
In contradiction of CIA denials about the
true purpose of Gladio and the scope of its operations and
neoconservative lies that there was no Gladio, the following
excerpt, from joint resolution (EP 22.11.90) of the European
Parliament condemns actions of US and allied intelligence
agencies involved. http://users.westnet.gr/~cgian/gladio.htm
"Whereas in
certain Member States military secret services (or
uncontrolled branches thereof)
were involved in serious cases of
terrorism and
crime as evidenced by, various judicial inquiries... these
organizations operated and continue to operate completely
outside the law...
whereas the
various `GLADIO' organizations have at their disposal
independent arsenals and
military resources which give them an unknown
strike potential, thereby
jeopardizing the democratic structures of
the countries in which they are
operating or have been operating..."
This officially condemns the lame official
excuses, like that given by former CIA Director William Colby
(claiming on the video that these were small contingency plans
for providing covert intelligence sources only, in case of
Soviet occupation), while exposing the duplicity of stooges like
neoconservative Michael Ledeen (who was implicated in the Gladio
political action while working for a right-wing Italian news
service), who falsely argues that Gladio was merely a Soviet
disinformation program that was based:
"on an old
forgery, designed to show that there's some kind of... accusing
the United States basically of what the Soviet union was doing
in Italy, which was creating a secret underground paramilitary
organization capable of organizing to subvert Italian
democracy."
This, "there is no spoon" explanation
echoes the equally lame counter-story given by alleged Gladio
participant, Licio Gelli, Grand Master of super-secretive P2
Masonic lodge, that the dreadful Bologna train station bombing
was a "transportation accident," taking place in an open
marketplace, where explosives were commonly sold, when "someone
threw a cigarette away."
The "old forgery" that Ledeen referred to
was a document known as "US Defense Training Manual 30-31B. The
State Dept. claims that the CIA "debunked" this document as a
Soviet forgery, even though it is somehow listed within the
classified sections of manual libraries .
http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2006/Jan/20-127177.html
The allegedly forged document, signed by Army Chief of Staff
Gen. W.C. WESTMORELAND, contained the following admission:
"There may be
times when host country governments show passivity or indecision
in the face of Communist subversion...US Army Intelligence must
have the means of launching special operations which will
convince host country governments and public opinion of the
reality of the insurgent danger... To this end, U.S. Army
intelligence should seek to penetrate the insurgency by means of
agents on special assignment, with the task of forming special
action groups among the more radical elements of the insurgency.
When the kind of situation envisaged above arises, these groups,
acting under U.S. Army intelligence control, should be used to
launch violent or non-violent actions according to the nature of
the case."
Since this is a very precise description of
the known activities of Gladio given by participants in it, we
must assume that history has confirmed that 30-31B is real. In
Gladio operations, like those attributed to the "Deep State"
group in Turkey, the plans for covert acts of terrorism (which
were theoretically intended to implicate the Communists or other
enemies of the US, thus turning the population against them)
were supposed to be activated at that moment in the national
struggle where the Communist/liberal forces turn away from armed
struggle, to embrace non-violent democratic elections, according
to the (CIA-alleged) disinformation known as "Army Field Manual
30-31B." But, as described so vividly in the BBC documentary,
the right-wing terror attacks upon leftist leaders preceded the
use of those tactics by the "pro-communist" forces. In addition
to staging false flag attacks meant to be blamed upon the
leftists, an intensive effort was made to infiltrate those
movements, in order to incite radicals within them into
carrying-out their own copycat attacks.
While Ledeen and the CIA try to claim that
Gladio is a "legend," fabricated by the Soviets in an attempt
to blame the US for their actions, the revelation of historical
evidence is indicting America and the agency for introducing
political terrorism to Western electoral politics. Gladio is an
ongoing operation by our government to savagely kill and wound
thousands of our own allies, in order to blackmail them into
supporting America's fascist plans for the world. "Political
action" took on a whole new meaning at the hands of the CIA and
its hidden allies.
Terrorism, as political action, became the
driving force in American foreign policy, and any nation that
sought our aid, or to become allied with us, had to accept this
reality and the necessity to keep blaming others for our own
commissioned attacks. The historical record of "terrorist"
bombings throughout the world is, for the most part, a record of
our actions, done under the cover of layers of "plausible
deniability," created by the compartmentalization of terrorist
strike forces into different secret levels.
If the mercenary Gladio paramilitary forces
could not provide a sufficient level of violence to satisfy the
Company's needs, then the agency could rely on its own
paramilitary units, or on special troops from Defense
Intelligence under the 30-31B provision. If the work required
an extra layer of "plausible deniability" then there were always
criminal organizations for hire and the super-secret network of
"rogue operators" like Ed Wilson, who were officially alleged to
be "former CIA." In the book, Charlie Wilson's War,
former agent Wilson told President Anastasio Somoza of El
Salvador that he could raise an army of 1000 "ex" agents to
defeat anti-government rebels, for the right price.
In America we have seen that same
commitment to the use of political violence play-out within the
CIA/corporate/Republican alliance, especially during the Nixon
Administration as seen in bloody incidents like the Kent State
massacre, where right-wing Republican Ohio Governor James Rhodes
strove to impress his Republican masters by having young
unsuspecting National Guardsmen fire live ammunition into a
crowd of young unsuspecting college students. Behind the scenes
government provocateurs led radical movements like the SDS, the
Weathermen and the Black Panthers into violent actions, intended
to discredit and slander the antiwar movement. With the
empowerment of Reagan, Bush and agency director Casey, CIA
involvement in American politics was out in the open.
Co-opting the highly patriotic party
Republican Party and the American right-wing in a subversive
program to eliminate democracy by turning it into a weapon in
this country was not a simple task. It took a great deal of
foresight, intricate planning and an enormous amount of cash.
In order to gain control over America's right-wing as it had in
Europe, the Company had to formulate a program of intricate
deception, in order to gain their trust, as a first step to
dominating their efforts.
Since grassroots conservatism in this
country is based on a conspiracy theory-based belief system, the
agency had to promote the far-reaching conspiracy theories that
were common to the movement. This meant that the CIA had to
promote evidence of all-encompassing theories, such as those
concerning Jews, the "Illuminati" and international bankers, to
win the trust of suspicious Republican bigots. Undercover
agents had to pose as movement leaders and researchers, who were
committed to exposing the plots of our would-be "masters." The
agency chose to play both the race card and the religion card,
by making the "Zionist" plot to colonize Palestine (a real
conspiracy) the cornerstone of the CIA/corporate plot against
the world. The agency promoted joint CIA/MOSSAD actions for the
dual purpose of forwarding both US corporate plans for the world
and Israeli designs to reclaim the land of "Greater Israel,"
which were critical to conspiracy plans for the Middle East and
creating a state of permanent war there.
The master manipulators at the agency
underwrote secret efforts by Zionist agents, who also served US
interests, to undermine American democracy and simultaneously
cuddling-up to the American extreme right-wing. The Gladio-styled
plan was to take over the ultra-nationalist right and to
infiltrate and corrupt the anti-government left. They helped to
create secretive anti-Semitic organizations, as well as Zionist
groups. The two-pronged attack focused on exposing Zionist
subversives, while working to build a popular wave of
anti-Semitism as a national counter-reaction to Zionist crimes
which they had helped to expose.
The key to convincing the masses of
conservative Republican voters of this vast covert conspiracy
was found in the "big lie," where the government agents chose to
expose choice tidbits of its own massive brainwashing and social
control campaigns, attributing them to agents of "Zion." The
brainwashing science possessed by the government and applied
through its foundations and institutes (such as Rand, Ford,
Carnegie, Stanford and Tavistock Institute) dwarfs the alleged
manipulative powers of any imagined conspiracy. This proved to
be extremely successful, especially when combined with
spectacular fear producing terror attacks.
In truth, mind control science, developed
and implemented since World War II, is all CIA. With the rise of former CIA
director George Bush to the position of "vice president elect,"
(and their "October surprise" obtained with a purloined speech
prep book for the great debate) the agency began to apply those
behavioral control techniques of Gladio to the political
process.
The political product of that behavioral
research, which became known as "neo-conservatism,"
http://rense.com/general77/neneo.htm was a deliberate
attempt to duplicate the psychology of pre-WWII Europe
(especially that of Nazi Germany) here in America, based on the
scientific research of the Jewish intellectuals, who had fled
from there for their lives. The recreation of a radical
anti-Semitic political belief system here would be enhanced by
popular resistance and reaction to the fascist neoconservative
policies of Zionist dual-citizenship neocons. Leaders were
found who could inspire armies of individuals to believe that
there is a powerful dark conspiracy afoot that can mobilize
secret armies of millions, to control every aspect of every
life, or nearly so. The success of the brainwashing program can
be measured directly by the number and intensity of individuals
who believe in theories of "racial superiority," whether they be
believers in ideas of either "Jewish superiority" or in
counter-theories of white or "Aryan" superiority.
Today's resistance movement of
counter-reaction to neoconservative/Zionist fascism is under
assault by dueling forces, who either want to silence the
movement, or to misdirect and co-opt it. If the movement is
silenced by Zionists or divided by anti-Zionists, it will not be
able to disrupt the neoconservative plans to launch nuclear war
against Iran and thereby usher in a state of permanent war.
The over-eager Zionist zealots who
willingly became part of this conspiracy have unknowingly sealed
Israel's fate, as the intended target for the coming wave of
anti-Semitism. Little did they know that their Republican
friends planned to drag-up Zionism's historical record of
utilizing anti-Semites in their secret plans to force the Jewish
"Diaspora" out of Europe to forcefully colonize Palestine, as
proof of a global "Jewish conspiracy." The intensive campaign
of lies and subterfuge that have been used to hide fascist
Israeli intentions to "ethnically cleanse" Palestine and the
surrounding area of its Arab inhabitants, confirm all the
negative stereotyping of the "Jewish state," especially in light
of "Israel lobby" plans to force America to fight Israel's wars,
even the ones started by Israel.
The Gladio-centered US foreign policy,
which was so successfully played-out in Europe, effectively
countered the Soviet expansion at a high cost to European
democracy. The application of that policy to Islamic countries
facing a Soviet threat, such as Afghanistan, helped to roll-back
the Soviets, but at a terrible cost. The training of Islamic
paramilitary forces to carry-out terror attacks for political
reasons, evolved into the unfolding nightmare known as the war
on terror.
In Afghanistan, the CIA armed, trained and
supported Islamic "Gladios" who carried-out Brzezenski's plans
for staging terrorist attacks upon popular local Afghan tribal
leaders, as a means to instigate the widespread tribal warfare
which eventually lured the Soviets to intervene in December
1979. (July 3, 1979, President Carter signed the first
directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet
regime in Kabul.) Reagan whole-heartedly supported the new
terror politics as a weapon for attacking the Soviet empire,
even expanding the Islamic militant form of Gladio to all member
states of the Soviet Union and their allies, when he signed
National Security Decision Directive 166 in March 1985. In
Central America, his Gladio-like duplication trained
paramilitary armies and death squads. This policy became known
as the "El Salvador option," when George W. Bush embraced it in
Iraq, making it the centerpiece of his strategy for the "war on
terrorism."
Bush embraced Clinton's strategy of using
this network of CIA-created Islamic extremists and mercenaries
now known as "al Qaida." They massacred their fellow Muslims
in great numbers in Sarajevo and throughout the former
Yugoslavia, blaming the Serbs and thereby agitating popular
opinion against the Serbians, gaining international sympathy for
the Muslim cause there. We learned from the BBC documentary,
that the former members of Italian Gladio were deeply involved
in the Balkans before this, staging attacks and sowing chaos.
Italy "played a double game" in the region, first joining with
the Nazis to fight against Tito, and later on joining with the
British to fight Croats. The fires of ethnic division that
erupted into civil war in our lifetimes began in these covert
ops intended to pit Yugoslavian countrymen against each other.
This provided an opening for the US and its allies to openly
intervene for "humanitarian reasons." America's hypocrisy is
without equal as we wage a war of terrorism, following a
terror-based foreign policy, to fight against terrorist armies
that we and our secret friends have trained and equipped.
Bush repeated the pattern again in Iraq and
Lebanon, and wherever the Muslim world encroached upon the
Israeli plans which he had agreed to, to create "Greater Israel"
from the Palestinian and Arab homelands. Bush's great plan for
sowing democracy is actually an excuse to sow political division
and ignite religious class war between Muslims, in order to
divide the people into left and right-wings, as a first step to
beginning the terroristic Gladio / El Salvador option of false
flag bombings and the manipulation of Islamic populations.
It is in the Middle East where the fruits
of these destructive, evil policies are most apparent,
especially in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq. The American plot to
sow the seeds of democracy, so that they might destroy whatever
government that the people democratically choose to empower, is
the most cynical conspiracy ever imagined by the sick mind of
man. Anyone with a shred of human decency should feel compelled
to fight this evil.
