Strategy of Tension; Operation Gladio, COINTELPRO

[kach22i]

Okay conspiracy theorist, I have a good one for you.

Ever hear of Operation Gladio (P2), or COINTELPRO?

"COINTELPRO" was the FBI's secret program to undermine the popular
upsurge which swept the country during the 1960s. Though the name
stands for "Counterintelligence Program," the targets were not enemy
spies. The FBI set out to eliminate "radical" political opposition
inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant
harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter
the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took
the law into its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to
sabotage constitutionally-protected political activity. Its methods
ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of
the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the
world.

Operation Gladio

“This “strategy of tension,” organized around a brutal campaign of terror and murder, resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people during the decades of the 1970s and ‘80s. The wave of terror led to the severe restriction of civil rights, with the 1975 law restricting popular campaigning and radical political discussion. Many people were locked up under “anti-terrorist” legislation (sound familiar?) or expelled from the country.”

So now that you know a little about our shady past, you can see how hard it might be for us to explain to the Iraqi's that we are the good guys bringing them freedom. Get a load of what some of them think, if it's not a Jewish conspiercy then it's the C.I.A. at work. They think we want a fragmented and violent Iraq! Can't say the thought had not crossed my mind. Where is all that unaccounted oil money and money of Saddam's gone to? Time for my Kool-Aid, cheers.

The Americans reverted also to the use of post WWII terror tactics to stir sectarian hatred and to drive a wedge between people and resistance fighters. These terror tactics are modeled after “Operation Gladio”. The plan was worked by the previous British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Allen Dulles, first chief of CIA, for post-war Europe to stop the spread of socialism and communism. According to this plan right-wing secret terror groups in Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain and other European countries were organized by NATO and funded by the CIA. These terrorist groups were trained to carry out terror attacks against civilians and blame it on left-wing groups in an attempt to manipulate population to reject communism, and to push them to turn for the government to ask for greater “security”. The population, then, becomes more agreeable to oppressive measures under the guise of security. These are the same “security measures” President Bush had enforced after9 /11, and Tony Blair had followed suit few days ago with his “anti-terrorist measures”.

To Isolate Iraqi resistance from the locals and from other Arab countries American forces had carried out Gladio-like attacks against civilian Iraqis. Terror attacks targeted civilians in markets and mosques, others targeted Iraqi police and recruits, and others targeted Iraqi political figures and Arab diplomats. The most common attacks are done in the form of car bombings. American soldiers would stop Iraqi cars, confiscate the driver’s license, and direct him to an army center for interrogation. While being interrogated explosives would be implanted in his car. The driver is then directed to an Iraqi police station to retrieve his license. An American helicopter would follow the car until it reaches the police station and remotely detonate the explosives, and then claim this as a suicide car bomb. This plan was discovered when one driver checked his car immediately after leaving the army center, and discovered explosives under the rear car seat. Another driver discovered explosives in his spare tire when he was changing his tire.

I dont believe in the above spewings, just informing you all of what we are up against if we stay where we are not wanted - they have their own spin machine.
