Operation Gladio was a NATO Cold War program that established clandestine 'stay-behind' armies in at least 14 European countries. In Italy, these networks were linked to the 'strategy of tension' — a series of terrorist bombings blamed on leftists but actually perpetrated by right-wing extremists connected to NATO structures. Italian PM Giulio Andreotti confirmed Gladio's existence in 1990. The European Parliament condemned the operation. Confessed Gladio operative Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated: 'You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people... to force the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.'
NATO and the CIA created secret armies across Europe that conducted false flag terrorist attacks to discredit the political left
“You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.”
