P2 Italia.

Gladio we have not discussed in a long time. NATO stay-behind units to be activated and become active in case of a massive Soviet Red Army attack on western Europe.

Here we have the Italian connection! With a twist!

"Declassified files expose British role in NATO’s Gladio terror armies"

From https://thegrayzone.com | KIT KLARENBERG· | JUNE 19, 2023.

"Newly declassified British files shed disturbing light on the origins and internal workings of Operation Gladio, a covert NATO plot deploying fascist terror militias across Italy. Have spies in London applied these lessons in Ukraine?"

"Newly declassified British Foreign Office files have added disturbing details to the history of Operation Gladio. The covert operation was uncovered in 1990, when the public learned that the CIA, MI6 and NATO trained and directed an underground army of fascist paramilitary units across Europe, deploying its assets to undermine political opponents, including through false flag terror attacks."

"Among them was a young Silvio Berlusconi, the media oligarch who served as Italian Prime Minister in four separate governments between 1994 and 2011. Listed as a member of the P2, the secret Cold War-era cabal of political elites devoted to Gladio’s aims, Berlusconi undoubtedly took some weighty secrets to the grave when he died this June 12th."

Calling Gladio fascists and terrorists too harsh! Paramilitary organized/trained/armed to resist a Soviet attack on NATO. Not to say there might have been extremist individuals among Gladio personnel but their numbers probably a small percentage of the entire force.
