Crimes of Empire

Operation Gladio- P2 and the Bologna Bombing.

April 10th, 2022.

Prior to al Qaeda and the War on terror, the war party were forced to rely upon communists and leftist extremists as the patsies in their false flag attacks.

Between the late 1960s and the end of the Cold War, Europe was struck by numerous terror attacks.

In the wake of the Cold War it emerged that many of the terror attacks conducted in Europe during the Cold war had been provocations conducted by Western intelligence agencies and their cut-outs in order to blacken the name of communism in the eyes of the European public and also to promote the psychological dependence on the state of the citizenry.

Strategy of Tension.

This ploy of engineering terror in order to frighten the public and cause them to feel insecure and afraid and to therefore support the internal security state was named the “Strategy of Tension”

The formation of a Gladio secret army was a condition that the US made contingent on NATO membership, although non NATO members also hosted Gladio secret armies. The secret armies would operate beyond the reach and sometimes even the knowledge of the elected Government of the nation.

It is claimed by the Swiss Historian and Academic Daniele Ganser that of the fifteen shadow armies that were created in Europe during the Cold war, that nine went “rogue” and started conducting terror attacks against the people they were supposedly set up to protect.

The existence of Operation Gladio was admitted briefly at the end of the Cold War, the subject was then permanently consigned too the ever burgeoning “things we do not like talking about list” and is never ever mentioned in the controlled media. Ever. There were a number of Gladio terror attacks exposed in that brief window at the end of the Cold War, and the BBC’s Time watch program made a 3 part documentary called “Operation Gladio” about the Gladio terror and murder, with a special emphasis on the crimes in Belgium and Italy, where the networks had been thoroughly exposed and the connection to major crimes was undeniable.

The Bologna Massacre.

On August 2nd, 1980 a massive blast tore through the Second class waiting room of the Bologna rail station. Eighty five people were killed and 200 wounded.
The explosives used in the Bologna attack had been procured from the Operation Gladio arms and explosives caches supplied to the Italian stay behind army by the CIA.

The attack was the deadliest of the black history of Operation Gladio false flag terror in Europe and until the Madrid attacks of 2004 was the most deadly single act of terrorism in Europe since the Second World War.

The Bologna massacre was not really a classic false flag attack, as only a very half hearted attemt was made to frame leftists but more of a straight out “deep message” from the P2 dark elite, a punishment operation conducted by the fascist cut outs of P2 with the subsequently disbanded Italian intelligence agency SIMSI flagging their involvement with their attempts to subvert the investigation.

Michael Ledeen was an employee of the SIMSI in this time as reported in the Wall Street Journal in 1985 when a journalist managed to track down a payment of $120,000 US dollars to Ledeen from SIMSI into a Ledeen Bermuda Islands bank account. .

“There were several episodes of screening, organized to end the investigation, the most serious of which is hatched by some leaders of the military secret services (SISMI), including generals Pietro Musumeci and Giuseppe Belmonte, which had a police sergeant put in a train in Bologna a suitcase full of explosives, of the same type that blew up the station, containing personal items of two right-wing extremists, a Frenchman and a German. Musumeci also produced a phony dossier, called “Terror on trains,” which reported the terror intents of international terrorists in connection with two other members of neofascist subversion, all linked to “armed spontaneism”, without political ties, thus at the same time material authors and masterminds of the massacre. General Pietro Musumeci, n°2 of SISMI and revealed in 1981 to be a member of Propaganda Due (P2) masonic lodge, was charged with having created falsified evidence to charge Roberto Fiore and Gabriele Andinolfi, two leaders of Terza Posizione who had fled in exile to London, of the bombing.[18] Both Terza Posizione leaders claimed that Musumeci was trying to divert attention from Licio Gelli, head of P2.[1″

Propaganda Due (P2)

Propaganda Due is the absolutely classic ”Shadow Government” or “Dark elite” fascist clique. The grandmaster was a man named Licio Gelli,a fascist who had served in the Mussolini Security forces and graduated to become a very important criminal.

This Metapedia piece is illuminating.

“http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due

“Propaganda Due or P2 was an irregular or “black” Masonic lodge that operated in Italy from 1877-1981, headed in its final decades by Licio Gelli. P2 was implicated in numerous Italian crimes and mysteries, including the nationwide bribe scandal Tangentopoli, the collapse of the Vatican-affiliated Banco Ambrosiano, and the murders of journalist Mino Pecorelli, Prime Minister Aldo Moro, and banker Roberto Calvi. P2 came to light through the Banco Ambrosiano scandal. P2 was also involved in Gladio’s strategy of tension (Gladio being the name of Italy’s secret “stay-behind” North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) paramilitary organization). Between 1965 and 1981, the P2 lodge entered the Italian political process by sending its members into the judiciary, the Parliament, the army and the press.”

“P2 was sometimes referred to as a “state within a state” or a “shadow government”. The lodge was peopled by prominent journalists, parliamentarians, industrialists, and military leaders — including the then-future Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi; the Savoy pretender to the Italian throne Victor Emmanuel; and the heads of all three Italian intelligence services.

When searching Licio Gelli’s villa, the police found a document called the “Plan for Democratic Rebirth”, which called for a consolidation of the media, suppression of trade unions, and the rewriting of the Italian Constitution.

Beside Italy, P2 was also active in Uruguay, Brazil and especially in Argentina’s “Dirty War” (with Raúl Alberto Lastiri, Argentina’s interim president from July 13, 1973 until October 12, 1973; Emilio Massera, who was part from 1976 to 1978 of the military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla; José López Rega, minister of Social Welfare in Perón’s government and founder of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance (“Triple A”), and Guillermo Suárez Mason, in charge of the Batallón de Inteligencia 601 as members). “

So, this is the “Illuminati”. Criminal bankers, “black” Masons, fascists,Intelligence Chiefs, Mafia Dons, missing billions and terrorist mass murders, not to forget the “Occult” rituals and widespread police protection.

The massacre in Bologna created many problems for P2 in Italy, the organisation was formally banned by both the Italian state and expelled by mainstream Italian freemasonry, but Berluscini still made it to Prime Minister and this points to the fact that these elements were not purged but merely forced to take a lower profile.

P2 had effective control of both the Italian military and intelligence services. Henry Kissinger is alleged to be an associate, and Michael Ledeen was a known close associate and confidant of Licio Gelli and also known to have attempted to buy the P2 membership list when it was seized in a police raid on Licio Gelli’s property. In 1981.

From Barbara Honegger’s October Surprise:
“When the Italian police raided (P2 Lodge founder) Gelli’s home in March 1981, it was Michael Ledeen who, at the instigation of Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger, offered to buy the list of 953 P2 members in an apparent attempt to keep it from becoming public. Henry Kissinger had also reportedly sent Ledeen to Italy to try to squash an investigation into his and Haig’s involvement in the founding of P2.”

Gelli Evades Italian Justice and Eventually is Sentenced for financial crimes After Years of protection in Switzerland.

http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due

“In 1992 Gelli was sentenced to 18 years and six months of prison after being found guilty of fraud concerning the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano in 1982 (a “black hole” of $1.4 billion was found). The Vatican bank, Istituto per le Opere di Religione, main share-holder of the Banco Ambrosiano, consequently had a “black hole” of $250 million. This sentence was reduced by the Court of Appeal to 12 years. The year 1992 also saw the beginning of the trial of 16 members of the P2 Masonic Lodge, which included charges of conspiracy against the state, espionage, and the revelation of state secrets.[35] In April 1994 Gelli received a 17-year sentence for divulging state secrets and slandering the investigation, while the court threw out the charge that P2 members conspired against the state;[36] Gelli’s sentence was reduced, and he was placed under house arrest two years later.[37]”
“In April 1998 the Court of Cassation confirmed a 12-year sentence for the Ambrosiano crash.[38] Gelli then disappeared on the eve of being imprisoned, in May 1998, while being under house arrest in his mansion near Arezzo.[38] His disappearance was strongly suspected to be the result of being forewarned. Then, finally, he was arrested in the French Riviera in Cannes. Two motions of no confidence were made by the right-wing opposition (the Northern League and the ex-Christian Democratic splinter groups CDU-CDR), against the Justice Minister, Giovanni Maria Flick, and the Interior Minister, Giorgio Napolitano, stating that Gelli had benefited from accomplices helping him in his escape. They also made reference to secret negotiations which would have allowed him to reappear without going to prison. But the two ministers won the confidence vote.[39] Police found $2M worth of gold ingots in Gelli’s villa.”

Licio Gelli died a free man in December 2015.

R.I.P Mark Elston

(1960-2023)

Terrible news.

Tribute to Mark Elston, 1960 – 2023

I received the news by E-mail. A couple of weeks after the fact: Mark has died, he drowned off the coast of Stornoway, a small town on the coast of the Outer Hebrides, a group of islands off the coast of Western Scotland. It is believed that he had been praying and fell into the ocean.

Mark’s Legacy.

Mark was a wonderful and unique person whom I am most grateful to have known. Mark was a blogger, a street activist, a fearless and relentless seeker of truth and the world is much the worse for his departure.

Mark’s sites are a wealth of links, pithy observations and a great resource and it is hoped that someone maintains Marks’ sites, especially Plant A Seed and Truthscoop, each the product of years of work with hundreds of pieces and thousands of links. Each an amazingly broad and deep source of information.

Plant a Seed

Truthscoop

Prayer Letter

Caring is Everything.

The most important thing about Mark, the core fact of Mark was that he cared deeply and passionately about everything.

Whether the subject was Covid truth, UK drill music, the war in Ukraine or Christian theology Mark brought an incomparable energy that made him one of the most unique and interesting people I have been lucky enough to meet.

We started talking via Skype in mid 2015 and had regular 3 or 4 hour conversations consistently for years until in 2022 I went to the UK and was able to meet Mark in person for the first (and sadly last) time.

Mark was more open minded than I and it wasn’t close.

As soon as people querying the shape of the earth appeared on the scene I dismissed them immediately, but Mark was not so dismissive.

Far from it, he became a Flat Earther.

We never really discussed the topic although he would raise it occasionally and at a certain point i said with exasperation

“So what is the best evidence for this then Mark?” or similar.

“Well, all of the supposed photographs of the earth as a globe photographed from space are fake.” Mark responded nonchalantly.

I did not know what to say and have no idea what I said next. I assume I just shrugged it off and changed the subject.

Later, I searched on the internet for photographs of earth from space and was somewhat discomfited to discover that Mark had been right. Without even double checking it was obvious that they were not authentic photographs of the planet.

The search term Earth from space gives us this array of ridiculous images. (Source)

But that didn’t mean that we weren’t spinning on a globe, merely that space travel beyond low earth orbit had been faked.

It is pretty much common knowledge that the “Apollo Moon Landing” series was filmed entirely on earth, so that didn’t seem too great a stretch.

Eventually I stumbled across a video made by someone with a laser pointer who showed that the curvature of the earth that is essential for the spinning ball model is impossible to observe in the field.

I greatly appreciate Mark for having put me on the path to this and other important but difficult truths but mostly I am just thankful and grateful to have known Mark and disappointed not to be able to see him again in this world but the sadness is softened by the knowledge that Mark has merely left this realm and is now in a better place.

Thank you for everything mate, I was truly blessed to have known you.
