Paul L. Williams, author of the newly published book Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia, offers a detailed analysis of how the Vatican, taking advantage of its questionable moral standing in Europe, has used its connections with secret services to ensure that there is always an armed force available to fight "communism."
Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia is a must-read by any serious student of conspiracy theories.
The CIA and the Vatican were allies in a covert war against leftist movements in Italy in the 1960s and 70's. The CIA would train fascist and neo-fascist groups to carry out terrorist activities, while the Vatican would provide personnel, training, and facilities to support these groups.
Operation Gladio is a secret stay-behind operation within NATO and the Western Alliance during the Cold War. It consisted of loosely-coordinated so-called "stay-behind armies" that were to be used to fight/resist a Soviet invasion of Western Europe. The true purpose of the stay-behind armies was to serve as NATO's secret army should the Soviets invade Western Europe.
Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia is a book narrated by Michael Prichard. It covers what Operation Gladio was and where it came from. It also delves into who was behind Operation Gladio, how many people died in it, what else happened during Operation Gladio, and more.
Operation Gladio is a codename for a clandestine NATO operation in Europe during the Cold War. It was designed to maintain a defensive organization meant to oppose the spread of Soviet communism. The true nature of Operation Gladio wasn't revealed to many people until 1990, when it was discovered that the Italian branch had links with the CIA and the Mafia. The revelations about this secretive undercover operation caused an international scandal and irreparable damage to Italy's reputation as a democratic state.
