Operation Gladio is the code name for a secret underground army, directed by NATO, that operated throughout Europe from the end of World War II through 1996. Its purpose was to thwart the expansion of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n
Gladio became noted for recruiting and financing right-wing extremist groups that could be directed to commit acts of violence and terrorism against their own governments and citizens, thereby creating public anger against anyone who opposed the existing regimes.<\/p>\n

In 1996, the CIA expanded its policy of using right-wing extremist groups for this purpose and also began using Islamic extremist organization. This was called Gladio-B and became the force that has destabilized and overturned countries in the Middle East since then.<\/p>\n
A good introduction to this history is\u00a0Gladio B: The Origins of NATO\u2019s Secret Islamic Terrorist Proxies<\/a>. Even Wikipedia<\/a> has a fairly unfiltered version of this dark record.<\/p>\n The news of an organized attack against police in Dallas this week is shocking in itself but, when you realize that almost everything about it fits the Gladio template, it is jaw dropping. All one has to do is change the description of groups being recruited from Islamic to Black, and everything else is in place.<\/p>\n Is the same strategy for national destabilization and the creation of hatred and violence now being used against the American people?<\/p>\n The following three news stories and two commentaries will help to answer that question.<\/p>\n
