Video Açıklama: Operation Gladio was a decades-long covert campaign of provocateur-style terrorism and deceit. The ostensible purpose of Gladio, officially launched as a covert NATO program in 1952, was to establish a clandestine network of \"stay-behind\" teams which would organize armed resistance and sabotage in the event of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe. But the network actually took a far more proactive role. Directed by US/NATO intelligence services of the West against their own populations, Operation Gladio led to hundreds of innocent people being killed or maimed in \"terrorist\" attacks which were then blamed on \"leftist subversives\" or other political opponents. The most notorious such attack was the 1980 bombing of the train station at Bologna, which left 85 dead. Initially blamed on left-wing radicals, the blast was revealed upon investigation to be the work of an ultra-right network linked to the Italy\'s Gladio team; four Italian neo-fascists were eventually convicted of the crime. The purpose was again twofold: to demonize designated enemies (the \"communists\") and to frighten the public into supporting ever-increasing powers for the national security state. It appears the Pentagon has been implementing Gladio-style operations for quite some time--possibly including 9-11. A stretch? Maybe not. Witness the US Joint Chiefs discussion of \"Operation Northwoods\" back in 1962, a plan to blow up U.S. \"assets\"--including U.S. citizens--in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. Later, US Army Field Manual 30-31B, entitled \"Stability Operations Intelligence - Special Fields,\" dated March 18, 1970 and signed by Gen. William C Westmoreland, promoted terrorist attacks (and the planting of false evidence) in public places which were then to be blamed on \"communists\" and \"socialists.\" It called for the execution of terrorist attacks throughout Western Europe, carried out through a network of covert US/NATO armies, in order to convince European governments of \"the communist threat.\" What is striking is that during this period the primary source for US government info on the Russian \"threat\" was coming from the Gehlen Organization, Hitlers eastern front intelligence apparatus, which in the aftermath of World War II had cut a deal with the CIA\'s Allen Dulles and worked out of Fort Hunt, just outside Washington DC, before being relocated back to Munich. Headed up by super-spy Nazi General Reinhard Gehlen, the Org\'s \"special operations\" expertise was heeded, financed and well-protected by U.S. tax dollars well into the 1970\'s. Could the Gehlen Org have had an influence in the production of FM 30-31B? According to FM 30-31B, \"there may be times when Host Country Governments show passivity or indecision in the face of communist subversion and according to the interpretation of the US secret services do not react with sufficient effectiveness. Most often such situations come about when the revolutionaries temporarily renounce the use of force and thus hope to gain an advantage, as the leaders of the host country wrongly consider the situation to be secure. 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.\" The U.S. Army now claims the document was a Russian forgery. Journalist Allan Francovich in his BBC documentation on Gladio and US/NATO \"special operations\" terrorism, asked Ray Cline, CIA deputy director from 1962 to 1966, if he believed FM 30-31B was for real and he replied: \"Well, I suspect it is an authentic document. I don\'t doubt it. I never saw it but it\'s the kind of special forces military operations that are described,\" to be implemented at the discretion of the president and Defense Department on the \"appropriate occasion.\" It could be that in Iraq--and elsewhere around the world--the \"appropriate occasion\" has arrived. Bush\'s war on terrorism could be the ultimate manifestation of the provocateur state; carrying out of clandestine \"executive actions\" and \"special operations\" directed against populations, including our own, who are truly ignorant of the real \"enemy\" in the face of the ever-present manufactured one, traumatized by strategic terror designed to engender fear and acquiescence to further \"security measures\"--thereby enriching the military, police agencies, and munitions and nuclear business enterprises.
