NATO organized terror attacks and blamed the left

According to this Common Dreams article:



The Pentagon's 'NATO Option'
by Lila Rajiva


Washington is shocked by Seymour Hersh’s scoop about the Pentagon’s “Salvador Option,” an ambitious plan to deploy secret special forces in friendly and unfriendly countries to spy, target terrorists and their sympathizers, and conduct “hits,” all without Congressional oversight. Its model is the American counter-insurgency program in Salvador in the 1980s which funded nationalist death squads to hunt down insurgents. What’s new today is that the program would be run by the Pentagon, not the CIA, and it would be much broader in scope. According to Hersh, the Pentagon's gremlins are already at work in Iran prepping targets for possible US or Israeli strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.

But Washington’s shock is misplaced. There’s nothing new about the “Salvador Option.” At the end of last month, Frank Cass in London released a new book by Dr. Daniele Ganser of the Center for Security Studies at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich called, “NATO’s Secret Armies. Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe,” which offers plenty of evidence that there was also a “Salvador Option” in post-war Europe. It turns out that during the Cold War, European governments and secret services conspired with a NATO-backed operation to engineer attacks in their own countries in order to manipulate the population to reject socialism and communism.


Now check out this paragraph (Gladio was a super secret group in the Italian military):

As one of Gladio’s operatives said, “You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security.” (My emphasis /JC)

Just more evidence of the way these extremist Mofo's think - in a nustshell, the ends justifies the means and you have to be willing to sacrifice innocent life if it will help you gain more control over the population. Now apply that principle to 911, and the massive "failures" that supposedly occurred which allowed the attacks to take place. I say the failure excuse is BULLSHIT! They wanted it to happen, they got their wish and may they rot in hell for it.

4. Another interesting quote
From field manual (FM 30-31B) quoted in the article:

"...when the revolutionaries temporarily renounce the use of force ….US army intelligence must have the means of launching special operations which will convince Host Country Governments and public opinion of the reality of the insurgent danger…”
