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

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.

It is almost impossible to believe that inconvenient truths were not weeded from Britain’s documentary record on Operation Gladio prior to declassification. Nonetheless, the recently released material is highly illuminating. Covering a fraught twelve month period after the first public disclosure of Gladio’s existence, the papers illustrate how London’s foreign intelligence apparatus kept a keen eye on the continent as events unfolded.

The papers not only shed fresh light on the conspiracy, they underline Gladio’s relevance as British intelligence joins its America counterparts in contemporary plots involving secret partisan forces from Syria to Ukraine.

Various passages dotted across the tranche strongly suggest the British knew much more than they publicly admitted about egregious criminal deeds, including the attempted overthrow of an allied Italian government and the kidnap and murder of its leader.

A ‘clandestine resistance network’ goes to work

Gladio consisted of a constellation of “stay behind” anti-communist partisan armies whose ostensible mission was to fend off the Red Army in the event of Soviet invasion. In reality, these forces committed countless violent and criminal acts as part of a “strategy of tension” designed to discredit the left and justify a security state clampdown.

As Vincenzo Vinciguerra, a Gladio operative jailed for life in 1984 for a car bombing in Italy that killed three police officers and injured two, explained:

“You were supposed to attack civilians, women, children, innocent people from outside the political arena. The reason was simple, force the public to turn to the state and ask for greater security…People would willingly trade their freedom for the security of being able to walk the streets, go on trains or enter a bank. This was the political logic behind the bombings. They remain unpunished because the state cannot condemn itself.”

'Gay penguins' to teach kindergarteners about same-sex relationships as part of a new syllabus

Gay penguins love story to be part of school syllabus

Sphen and Magic raised a chick at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium

Two gay penguins who successfully raised a chick together will help schoolchildren learn about same-sex relationships as part of a new syllabus aimed at kids from kindergarten to Year two.

The New South Wales Teachers Federation is collaborating with Sea Life Sydney Aquarium to inform young students about sensitive issues such as consent and sexuality.

Named 'Love in all shapes and sizes', the six lessons tell the story of Antarctic lovebirds Sphen and Magic and their five-year relationship.

The two males developed a strong bond in 2018 and became inseparable shortly before breeding season.

Wildlife staff at the tourist attraction said the smitten couple would go on romantic waddles together around their enclosure.

They soon started collecting pebbles to create a nest - something Gentoo penguins on Macquarie Island do to keep their eggs warm.

'To ensure the couple were not excluded from the season, Magic and Sphen were given a dummy egg to allow them to practice incubating and develop their skills,' the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium states.

'They were absolute naturals and displayed great care for their egg, so much so, the team at Sea Life Sydney fostered a real egg to them from another couple who had two.

'In October of 2018, the two successfully hatched baby SPHENGIC!

'Today, the couple are still going strong and have paired up for a third breeding season!'

Missionary kidnapped by Islamic extremists for 6 years alleges FBI withheld intel, misled wife

Woodke was released March 20, although it was never explained fully how the government got him home.

Missionary Jeff Woodke, who was held captive by Islamic extremists for more than six years, alleges the FBI withheld information and misled his wife regarding his captors.

Woodke was captured in October 2016 in Niger by Islamic militants and was released this March.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Woodke and his wife said that they had reason to believe that FBI officials withheld information and misled them about the scope of demands from the kidnappers.

“It was hell. I think the hardest part was knowing that my family, if they were alive, they were suffering too,” he said during the interview.

The Woodkes allege that the FBI officials had poor communication when it came to the status of the negotiations and offered barely any assistance with raising money for a ransom.

Woodke's wife Els said she had some harsh words with Secretary of State Antony Blinken just weeks before her husband came home.

“I said, if it was you that had been kidnapped, you would be free in a week because your wife is free to take from your money and buy you free,” she recalled telling Blinken. “So because you are rich, you can pay the ransom. But a poor person is never able to do that.”

While the U.S. government does not pay ransom to kidnappers, it does allow families of hostages to raise money for a ransom. Els said that government restrictions made it near impossible to raise any money.

Woodke was released March 20, although it was never explained fully how the government got him home.

John Kerry Meets with Pope Francis: Fighting Climate Change at ‘Heart of Morality’

Pope Francis received John Kerry in private audience at the Vatican Monday, where the two discussed the importance of combating climate change for the good of the planet.

Kerry, in Rome as United States presidential envoy for climate, praised the pontiff for his leadership on the topic of climate change and suggested that fighting global warming is a key element of Christian morality.

Pope Francis has “remarkable leverage” on the question of climate change, Kerry asserted in an interview with journalists, “because he has constantly been an outspoken and engaged advocate on this issue, he believes it very deeply.”

“He’s very troubled by where we are, and where we are not, and where we should be,” Kerry added. “I think he’s thinking about ways he can continue to have an impact on it, I’m sure.”

“We talked about that and I’m very confident about his openness to finding what’s going to be most comfortable for him to do at this point, and what makes most sense for him to do,” he said.

“I think it’s important for religious leaders to be engaged on this issue because it goes to the heart of morality, of individual responsibility for others and for mother earth,” Kerry, a Catholic, asserted. “It has a lot to do with the scriptures of one religion or another.”

Pope Francis has contended that two chief threats to humanity are the “immense crisis” of global warming and the possibility of nuclear war.

In a 2018 address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the pope said world leaders must do all they can to assist humanity in facing the most pressing threats facing the planet, namely “the immense and ongoing crisis of climate change and the nuclear menace.”

Human actions are at the core of many global changes, the pope asserted, especially where climate change is concerned.

“Hence there is also a need for adequate responses aimed at protecting the health of the planet and its inhabitants, a health put at risk by all those human activities that employ fossil fuels and deforest the planet,” he said.
