What was Operation Gladio?
It was a combine of gangsters and NATO operatives who collaborated
together to stage terrorist acts throughout Europe, the Middle East and
Latin America.
Sometimes they were designed to appear to originate from right wing groups. Other times from left wing groups.
The point was to destabilize governments that were not 100% compliant with US wishes.
Officially the program ran from 1953 to 1958 - but many researchers believe it operated a lot longer, from 1947 to 1981.
Interestingly, Donald Rumsfeld, whose bloody hands appear everywhere,
was for a time the US's permanent representative to NATO during the
Operation Gladio program.
