0:09 All right, we're going to get started. We are on chapter two and we're going to dive right in. I did want to read a couple of the footnotes. They were kind of funny. Not like funny haha, but from the last segment where we were talking about the Orlando La Teater from

0:52 Chile that was in Washington, D.C. that had his car blown up. And one of the footnotes is in the spring of 2010, it emerged that shortly before these murders, Henry Kissinger had quashed a telegram intended for all U.S. ambassadors in Latin America, warning them of a forthcoming outbreak of political assassinations. So in other words, the

1:24 Kissinger was aware that there was going to be political assassinations. Imagine that. Kind of like what they just did when they were going to bomb the Russian theater and they put out the announcement, hey, don't be going to theaters. That's crazy. Another footnote had to do with a

1:56 the author of a record-breaking millennium trilogy, starting with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It had sold over 65 million copies, the greatest following, the greatest sensation in Swedish publishing history. Sorry. Hello. The Hollywood version.

2:25 is in preparation following on a galactic international success of a Swedish groundbreaker. The books and films follow the adventures of a Swedish investigative journalist and his encounters with the Swedish deep state. The flourishing neo-Nazi movement and its linked to far-right politics, Larsson drew on his real-life experiences as editor of the Stockholm

2:53 Expo magazine, which operates in precisely the same territory that this movie was representing. His last volume, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, alludes to the Gladio-style deep state organization and Sweden's clandestine links to a foreign power, meaning the United States.

3:19 Compelled to live a largely reclusive life because of constant death threats, Larson eventually succumbed to a massive heart attack at the age of 50, which was probably a murder, suicided. And so basically, don't make me have to go watch that movie, all three of them. Basically, he's telling you about Operation Gladio in Sweden. That's crazy.

3:51 Okay, so that was also a footnote to this part that I'm about ready to cover. A second figure, because remember we talked about Olaf Palm during the last segment. So a second figure with strong connections to Gladio contract assassinations would also come to light in Stockholm. And this was a shadowy Danish Italian figure.

4:25 by the name of Francesco Galino, living next door in Copenhagen. He was a prime suspect in a spectacular and long-lasting mystery, the killing of Georgi Markov, a prominent Bulgarian immigrant writer and anti-regime broadcaster living in London. Markov was struck by a tiny pellet, apparently containing a lethal dose of ricin.

4:53 the headline-seizing theory was circulated that the fatal dart could have been fired by an umbrella, which, interestingly enough, was actually talked about in a congressional hearing that the CIA had developed with one of their biological warfare experts. Traced to Budapest 10 years after the murder of Palm, Golino,

5:21 freely declared that one country where he would never dare set his face again was Sweden, possibly because of that. So then we got to, that was kind of a rehash of last update. There was a tragic sequel to the Palm Affair on 11 September 2003, which played a significant role in the image of Sweden in a far darker one overall.

5:52 The Swedish foreign affairs minister, a young and popular Anna Lindh, rising star of the Social Democratic Party, widely tipped to be the next premier, was fatally stabbed in an apparent motiveless and frenzied attack while shopping in a busy department store. Like Palm, she always shunned security details. The police pounced on a 25-year-old Swedish-born surrogate.

6:24 who appeared to hail from False Flag Central Casting. Let me spell his last name. M-I-J-A-L-O-V-I-C was ruthless and dysfunctional. And those are excellent qualification for a patsy, as we well know. But difficulties immediately began with the story that they were trying to sell everybody.

6:55 Because there were conflicting descriptions of the assassin and also referring to we under interrogation. There was an event in Norway eight years later where the gunman Anders Beiring Breivik, B-R-E-I-V-I-K, accused of a crazed solo massacre.

7:27 in July of 2011, that claimed scores of victims, also spoke of accomplices. Some witnesses, pointedly not called to court, who were present in the store when Anna was murdered, insisted the knife man was tall and powerfully built, perhaps around 35 years old, with a pockmarked face and a bulky military-style jacket.

8:01 A guy by the name of Christopher Bolin, an investigator for the American Free Press, later suggested this image was completely incompatible with this little sweatshirt, baseball hat wearing kid, Majalovic, that they pinned it on. He was duly sentenced to life after legal arguments. The Senate was confirmed, but the prisoner.

8:31 was then eventually diagnosed as mentally ill and placed in a psych ward where he was basically held in isolation. He spoke of seeing things in his head. He spoke of seeing Jesus. So basically, he's like an MK altar guy that was set loose and told to go murder this woman. Other voices heard shortly after her death observed factually that Lind

9:08 was the fourth in line of unremitting Swedish political champions of the Palestinian cause to meet a violent end. The chain commenced with Count Folk Bernadotti, who was the chief UN negotiator for Palestine. He was gunned down by the Stern Gang terrorist in Jerusalem in 1948. And the Stern Gang basically fits the same.

9:40 motif as an Operation Gladio terrorist organization. Then came another famous UN peacemaker, Dog Hammerstold, and he's the guy that was the UN Secretary General that's plane got shot down on his way to help the Congo after they murdered Lumumba in 1961. And then Olaf Palm, and then Anna Lind. So that's four of them, all gunned down, all of them.

10:14 were outspoken advocates of the Palestinian cause and had died 17, let's see, Lynn died 17 years earlier or later than Olaf Palm. Lynn had accused the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon of ruthless war crimes, campaign for a nuclear-free Middle East.

10:45 which would have meant he had to give up his nuclear weapons, and insisted that 2003 that the EU sever all ties with Israel. This was scarcely likely to spare her any long arms of Mossad or the CIA. Like the assassinated trio of Palm, Hammerskjold, and Count Bernadotti, Anna Lind

11:14 was another obstacle in the big power machine. Lynn seems to have crossed a personal political Rubicon after surrendering to American political bullying to allow the CIA snatching of an Egyptian citizen called Ahmed Agiza from a Stockholm street just before Christmas 2001 with the help of Swedish intelligence. She subsequently told associates that she felt bitterly scarred by the experience.

11:45 and the volume of her opposition to Israeli and American policies rose sharply thereafter. Eva Frankel, the minister's press officer, who was at her side during the shopping expedition, published a memoir in 2009, which almost in passing suggested that her boss was not alone in the Ahmed Agiza affair.

12:18 Her having been basically bullied by the justice minister, a Thomas Lennart Bodstrom, whose father had been Palm's foreign minister. Seems a little weird. So the Rush trial, just four months after her death, was basically a charade. And it appeared that the only business was not justice. It was a conviction. The evidence presented.

12:52 many problems. The extent of the wounds of the victim, why Lynn was thought likely to survive and then died after a protracted operation. So she didn't die immediately. She was basically killed. There was no fingerprints on the knife of the assassin. The authorities did nothing to dispel suspicion by insisting that the old chestnut, that much of what they knew must remain secret.

13:28 None of you just I'm sorry, you can't make this stuff up. So the absence of any credible explanation why the in-store video cameras covering the main escalator in the second and third floor where the final action occurred were conveniently switched off, not broken, turned off. All of the classic signs of a cover up cover up.

13:57 There was an amazing swift arrival of an ambulance in just one minute from the emergency call, which is unheard of. The vehicle arrived containing one of Lynn's most senior advisors in her own ministry. What? So it gets there in one minute with one of her staff in it. That's not prearranged at all. Bowling concluded that Lynn was taken out by an expert hit squad.

14:30 That's my vote. Of at least four trained killers who were on her trail that morning, the one sure and certain fact emerging from the fog of confusion is a striking and outspoken communicator bearing a stubborn attachment to the Palestinian cause was eliminated, just like her mentor, Paul, a source of conflict with the pro-ruling Zionist stand of the Western camp.

15:02 Then shifting to Belgium, a contrived and tormented state that arose from a shotgun marriage in 1830 between disharmonious French and Flemish speakers. So I find this very interesting, especially because that's where NATO ended up going is in Belgium. And I didn't know very much about the background of Belgium, but evidently.

15:32 You have basically two countries living inside of one. They have separate languages. It's just very interesting. You have like a French section and you have a Flemish section. And they both have their own nationalistic entities. So they almost have like two Gladio units inside of one.

16:03 And they sometimes attack each other. So let's see. The first step in the post-war establishment of a tripartite committee linking the secret intelligence services of the host country, Britain and America, over the overarching Belgium entity.

16:37 So far, the standard Gladio compact, however, in Belgium, the strategy of tension underwent a generic mutation. Thanks to something called the Belgium paradox, which supplied two sets of secret armies to one country. Basically what I was just saying. Because they have a French speaking Wallonia.

17:03 W-A-L-L-O-N-I-A, which consists of deep forest in the Ardennes, flanked by a rust belt. Belgium's important industrial spine scarred now with decomposed relics of coal pits and skeletons of factories because they basically have had theirs hollowed out, much like the U.S. You also have Flanders on the other side.

17:33 which sees itself as a well-organized nation state with a modern economy. So you have Antwerp, which is kind of up and coming with the diamond vaults and tourist destinations. And so that's kind of like the uppity part of Belgium. It's closer to Holland.

18:05 And as a result, it has a much higher level of economic activity. Meanwhile, the sad, broken down Wallonia is kind of like, they refer to, excuse me, I get some water, their Cinderella province, which is kind of funny. So Wall, Wallonia is the Cinderella and Flanders is the cool place.

18:39 Both sides squabble and treat Brussels as kind of an international carve-out that doesn't belong to either one of them. The Belgian capital swarms with bureaucrats, military types, and corporate drones, a playground for narcotic smugglers, arms, weapons, trafficking, and human trafficking, as we'll find out with Mark Dutro.

19:12 Very interesting mess there. There was a pair of everything, media, government, political parties, languages, secret armies, espionage. So you have on both sides of Belgium, two of everything. And they even spell things differently. The newly arrived NATO.

19:46 which was evicted, as we all know, from France by Charles de Gaulle, desired this bastard state to hang together since it is now, in effect, the principality of NATO, which could not be allowed to entertain a seditious mole or people that were loyal to a foreign government. In World War II, Belgium basically had a modest number of volunteers

20:14 for the German war machine. Some Flemings were attracted to the swastika out of a conviction of Hitler was inclined to cede long chair sovereignty to them so they could get out of this shotgun marriage that they are under in Belgium. Others joined the Avicii France part of it and

20:47 Overall, a lot of them was drawn to the Nazi pagan symbolism, and there was a few show trials for collaborators at the end of the war. Belgium's secret army and intelligence services were encouraged by the CIA and provided a welcome birth of trusty Nazis available to do their dirty work, which of course is why they would have picked Belgium as their next logical place to go.

21:18 Huge crime syndicate, corrupt politicians and soldiers on the ready. So you have all of the money that NATO had to give out to arms dealers and the syndicate being in bed with NATO. So it kind of.

21:40 worked out. You've got a whole criminal network in Belgium. They're fighting against each other. So they're the epitome of the strategy of tension already. And then we're going to plot Beto down in the middle of it. So it's kind of just like a perfect, awful place. So they've got crime gangs running around in the 70s and 80s. And they're

22:11 started an all-out Gladio operation inside of Belgium where you had shoppers lining up in a grocery store checkout and people came in with machine guns and just literally killed them all. They also would go around to local grocery stores and shoot up the parking lots. Investigations into this atrocity

22:40 became a state secret. And it basically illustrated the breakdown of law and order for political means because they were using this to manipulate the people and to get them to vote for the people that they wanted them to vote for. They became known as the Brambent, B-R-A-B-A-N-T massacres over the province where most of them were committed.

23:11 There was information about this published in 1990, which you'll remember, corresponded with the public announcement in Italy of the acknowledgement of Operation Gladio. The one conclusion of the panel declared that, quote, the killers were cited as members or former members of the security forces of Belgium. Extreme right wingers who enjoyed high level protection.

23:44 preparing for a right-wing coup, which basically meant they were doing it to affect the election. The inquiry concluded the attacks were intended to send Belgian flocking to a strong central power or a fascist state. When stories appeared of a pedophile gang operating in brazen contempt of the law, more calamity ensued. European state was a

24:12 a descent into the nightmare of inhumanity. And that's where we get to the story of Mark Dutro, who basically is a serial child abductor and murderer. They referred to him as the monster of Charolais, pursued his horrific career to secure a parent. He had an apparent belief.

24:41 that he was safe from prosecution from any of the authorities because he was basically procuring kids for them. The Belgium state linked him to powerful people, lawyers, judges, politicians, businessmen, secret police, criminals, and members of the Belgium secret armies or Gladio. They could do literally whatever they wanted.

25:10 Usually the victims were young women and young children, and they were protected by the security services and the spy agencies inside of Belgium. The vice racket unleashed an orgy of blackmailing in which Dutroux Network excelled. This is awful. Long simmering frustrations provoked by the Dutroux affair finally burst into the open in 1996.

25:45 Two months after Dutroux was arrested, 300,000 Belgians poured into the street of the capital to protest the courts in cynical disinterest of the government ministers. Many of the ghost-like processions, dressed entirely in white and carrying white lilies, white roses, white balloons, symbolic of the innocent of children, was a size that had never been seen inside of Belgium.

26:15 It was a display of cynical official hand-draining for public consumption. Its chief purpose was to diffuse the anger, which led to suspicious, well-grounded, and official hands behind the exercise in distraction. So now there was a long political crisis, which began in the summer of... So hold on a second.

26:46 So basically, the paramilitary outfits that owed their allegiance to NATO was basically orchestrating kind of this fake, solemn exercise as if that's going to placate the masses. So for now, we can say that a long political crisis, which began in the summer of 2007, dramatized the un...

27:15 governability of Belgium against a creeping barrage of propaganda intended to encourage and dignify the full independence of Flanders. Such a state would of course prove for the perfect haven of a NATO armed camp manipulating the country's direction for almost 40 years. There was no coincidence that the electoral impasse occurred against the background of rising unrest and violence.

27:44 among the 500,000 strong Muslim community, all that had been pumped in there. The explosive growth of the Islamic population, which far outstripped the ethnic Belgian birth, raised to American and thus NATO minds the fabled Arabia as successor to the lapsed communist boogeyman. So basically they're just...

28:12 importing these people so they can now blame them for the chaos that they're going to orchestrate. The street violence, especially in Antwerp, began to overtake even the strongest police forces that they had. In 2003, Donald Rumsfeld, then the SecDef, threatened to withdraw the NATO headquarters from Belgium unless the government was able to

28:43 protect U.S. military personnel from the war crimes committed anywhere in the world. Denouncing harassment by a pack of left-wing lawyers, Rumsfeld's threats basically said, nonetheless, neatly encapsulated the contemptuous regard the U.S. authority holds for sovereign allied states. So basically, there was legislation that

29:15 was going through the belgium courts because they felt a lot of this was being propagated by the military instigation inside of belgium and rumsfeld basically said that if they didn't try if they started holding the u.s military accountable that he would withdraw and i mean

29:45 There's a whole big story there because of the SOFA agreements, which is the status of forces agreements that each country has in foreign countries for the protection of the military people under the auspices that they usually are the ones that are inviting us into the country. So we have some protection from their local laws as it relates to our military status.

30:15 So basically, he was trying to pull rank on NATO. He goes on and talks about Italy basically being a land of illusions. And he mentions Aldo Moro, who, of course, was another victim of an assassination plot that involved kidnapping.

30:49 This was one part that I thought was very interesting. When Andriotti confessed to the existence of Gladio, perhaps the disturbed spirit of the murdered former premier Aldo Moro flickered in his mind like the visions of a tormented Shakespeare Richard III the night before his final battle. Because, of course, Andriotti was intimately involved in Operation Gladio.

31:20 as a default, would have been involved in Otto Moro's kidnapping and eventual murder. So there's a whole long story behind that. But for our purposes, it's important to know. I'll read you a little bit about what the author says about that. But it was part and parcel of the entire Operation Gladio.

31:53 as it played out in Italy. So here's what he says. A multiple layered case of Moro is complicated by the convenient elimination of important witnesses close to the event who might have told important stories. Moro was seized on his way to Parliament on the 16th of March, one day after the formal Ides of March, which is the 15th, when Julius Caesar was cut down on the steps of the Senate. He basically was held.

32:24 without being able to speak to anyone for 55 days in captivity. And he was allowed to send letters to his family. And he wrote to some politicians, which magnetized this massive sense of national crisis in every Italian's mind. It was basically initially said that this was being done as a communist plot, of course. It had nothing to do with communism.

32:53 In March of 2008, Francesco Casiga, who had been president and then resigned. Oh, sorry. He had been president and also while he was president, basically a Gladio commander during the Morrow drama 30 years before, made two striking admissions. One, falsely authorized a public announcement that the.

33:21 Red Brigade, which was their communist element, had killed Morrow when the ruling Christian Democrat hierarchy knew perfectly well that the president was still alive. Secondly, that Morrow was sacrificed for the sake of the stability of the state. It was tantamount to admitting that the state sent its Morrow to death. And what's interesting about that is, so at the time this was happening,

33:53 People viewed that that was like a communication to the people that had been holding him that they already viewed they being the people in charge of Gladio already viewed him as dead. So go ahead and kill him. It was kind of like a signal to them to go ahead and kill him. And everybody in Italy recognizing after the fact that that's what in fact happened.

34:24 It was just craziness. Moro had barely been seized when Jimmy Carter dispatched the U.S. government chief expert in conflict resolution, the Cuban-born, Harvard and French-educated Steve Kozinek to Rome. But nobody believes that he went over there to solve this because these people are all part of it.

34:56 was close enough to the inner secrets of the U.S. government to win a Grammy Award for his insight delivered to four secretaries of state, Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Shultz and James Baker. So he's one of the guys, unfortunately. And I did want to read this one little.

35:26 footnote here about all of this, since we talk about hijackings a lot. One of the things that they referred to of this Pezenic guy, this Indiana Jones of psycho-political dynamics and conflict mediation strategies enjoyed the high-powered title of Assistant Deputy Secretary of State.

35:56 He was the man whispering in ears during many of the terrorist episodes because they crafted them, including the Hanafi Muslim siege of Washington, D.C. City Hall in 1977, which then tells you that's a Gladio operation. The TWA Croatian hijacking in 1976 and the PLO hijacking of LL Jet.

36:25 in 1968. He advised Washington how to handle the assorted cast of Uganda dictator Idi Amin, Omar Gaddafi, Carlos the Jackal, and his co-terrorist, Abdul Nadal, plus, for good measure, Saddam Hussein. Quite the royal flush of terror packs. He even dreamed up the scheme to either drive Panama General

36:56 Manuel Noriega go insane or surrender with a giant loudspeaker parked outside his house and piping in music around the clock. So you see what I mean? If they're going to actually orchestrate something like that, then they're going to send their guy over there to make sure it goes off the way they want it to. He also, of course, was a member of the Council of Foreign Relations.

37:30 in Rome was on the crisis committee composed of the Christian Democrats. So the crisis cabinet that was formed as a result of this was chaired by Cossiga, C-O-S-S-I-G-A. And of course, he's kind of like a bull in the China cabinet, not somebody that you would actually have if you were genuinely interested in solving a crisis.

38:03 Kosyga was the chief lieutenant of Andriotti and had no intentions of securing the release of Morrow. There was a political project that was worked out and by Morrow was intended to perish with its author. The catalyst in dispatching Pesenik was Brzezinski, Carter's Polish-born national security advisor.

38:35 And of course, Brzezinski viewed the Morrow Project as a soft accommodation with the communists. And he viewed it in great disdain because, of course, he was originally from Russia. So what's interesting is Morrow's big sin was he actually talked to the Russians or the Soviet Union and was willing to deal with anybody. He kind of was a very open person.

39:04 was interested in negotiation and hearing from all sides. And that in NATO is dead man walking designation. Kucinich insisted that he gave up on the case because the emergency committee was riddled with informers. They're holding the guy themselves. It's not like you really had informers.

39:35 In 2006, he gave an interview to a French TV that basically expanded a little bit about what was in the book called We Killed Otto Morrow, which was produced in 2008. Pesenik said that ultimately Morrow was abandoned to his fate because he was giving his captors vital secrets of the state, which is bullshit.

40:07 What they did say was that they did believe he was talking about NATO gladio units with his captors. And that would have definitely made him dead man walking. The food chain is interesting. The gladio units and their significance was well known to Brzezinski and President Carter.

40:36 between them representing the largest shareholder of NATO. It is unlikely that Prasenik flew to Rome in complete ignorance of Gladio. He did not. Which begs the question, if Morrow was being indiscreet about Gladio, how did the Council of Christian Democrat Elders, stiff and dumb as Easter Island statues, actually know?

41:06 unless they had an inside track to the captives. Exactly. That's how you know they were the ones actually holding him. And then Persenik says, quote, we had to sacrifice Aldomoro to maintain the stability of Italy. And by stability, they mean you're not allowed to talk to the Soviet Union. That's their version of stability. This would become...

41:35 the identical refrain of Andriotti and Cossica, it meant Maldo's fate turned solely on keeping communists out of the government in Rome, Carter's chief objective, and that of every president before. If freed, Moro might start his bothersome campaign all over again. Senator Giovanni Pellegrino conveyed his parliamentary committee of inquiry.

42:05 where he summoned Pazinik as a star witness. Pazinik at first agreed and then begged off under pressure from the State Department and the CIA because they felt that there was going to be some difficult questions he may not want to answer out loud. In his 2008 book, Pazinik let slip an important clue that in the fourth week of Morrow's captivity, the, quote, U.S. had to instrumentalize

42:35 the Red Brigade, unquote. So that basically means they controlled the Red Brigade and that they then used them to blame the killing of Mauro on them. And they blamed the bombing of the trains in Italy on them, the bombing of banks on them. When it was all said and done, they were never involved in any of it.

43:10 The author then goes on, we've already talked about in a lot of our shows, about the intel services, the mafia, big business, the Catholic Church, i.e. the Vatican, being in bed with Lucio Gelli's P2. And basically the P2 is a lodge forming basically a government within a government.

43:43 It says the 61 year old former premier was snatched on Rome's one of the roads there with machine gunners while on his way to parliament to bless a historical accommodation with the communist. Five of his guards were killed. In context, the petty demands of the Red Brigade were insubstantial and incredible.

44:13 Basically, they're saying he was killed for nothing. They they didn't want, you know, like all of the seats in parliament. They didn't want like a communist social infrastructure implemented. Because trust me, Italy was already as socialist as you could get as far as their medicine, their government and everything else goes. Their taxation system. You can't get much bigger government than they have in Italy.

44:40 The fact that they did this under the auspices, which I don't believe at all, of him being in bed with the communists, he was not going to allow them to do what they wanted to do in their little secret state, and therefore he had to go. This is a quote. The location where the members of the brigade claim to have held Mauro prisoner is in a quarter of Rome.

45:10 that at the time was under absolute control of a criminal gang with ties to the mafia. The prosecutor's office ran into insurmountable difficulties trying to investigate Swiss bank accounts linked to one of the brigade commanders. The autopsy on Morrow's corpse showed a muscle tone in the legs and a level of personal hygiene incompatible with a 55-day detention in a cellar like had been described by the...

45:39 terrorist. Just tells you that's not why, that's not where he was held. Morrow was very well liked by working class people throughout Italy. That made him dangerous. And even Pope John Paul said that he had offered a ransom or to swap himself with Morrow if they would let him go. Morrow was shot with two weapons, both

46:21 was very curious. The initial attempt was made with supposedly by a guy named Mario Moretti using a German design 9mm manufactured in France. The gun is often described as a spy's favorite and fictionally carried by people like James Bond. Adolf Hitler used an early model

46:48 of this gun to shoot himself in the berlin bunker the weapon is frequently found in the hands of law enforcement agencies in the military the wather ppk apparently jammed after a single shot tomorrow's chess which failed to kill him so the kidnapper kidnappers finished their task with a unusual alternative a 7.65 millimeter check made scorpion

47:18 version 6.1. This is an exceptionally lethal rapid fire miniature submachine gun capable of firing a thousand rounds a minute. It is high compact and light enough to be concealed and carried around. What is unusual about it is the appeal that it has always held for counter insurgent forces in third world countries. The high powered weapon boosts a massive rate of fire.

47:50 So it is never used for close-up assassinations. But it apparently was one of the only alternatives available for the killers once their original gun was locked up. The Scorpion is really designed to create a fan spray where you're trying to hit multiple targets. They have miniature cartridges which would chop the body up like a machete.

48:24 Rather than a quick clean shot to the temple head, which is kind of what their normal mafia hit kind of practice is. So basically it creates a huge amount of collateral damage and did so in this case because the bullets basically went right through them. It can be silenced and smaller magazines fitted to restrict the rate of fire to 10 shots. But even so, it's going to tear them up.

48:59 And what's weird is it makes it more likely that Morrow was not shot in that apartment, but in like a soundproof basement or something like that, or there would have been a lot more fanfare to it. The Scorpion does not, from the 90 or so recovered cartridges, appear to have been among the weapons used in the original blood-soaking snatch.

49:28 of him off the streets when all of the bodyguards because that would have been the time when you would have used it because you've got multiple targets that you're going to be hitting but it wasn't even used then which makes the whole thing totally weird even um let's see morrow's bullet riddled body was bundled up and put in the trunk of a renault then motored undetected in the morning of may 9th 1978

49:53 to the heart of a locked down Capitol because, of course, they're looking for him. You know, he was kidnapped. They drive him right down by the river to supposedly close to the Communist Party headquarters, of course, in the politically loaded signpost, a red delivery van. The location between the two rival political camps felt a message of a marriage postponed permanently.

50:25 It seemed from the autopsy that his corpse had been transported a curiously very short distance. A calculation helped by measuring the loss of blood and the degree to which the rigor mortis had set in. Morrow had also been in contact with asbestos from the traces in his clothes. So they basically.

50:52 decided that he was confined in a cave and he was unlikely to attract asbestos in any of the apartments where he was held. So it suggested that he was finally taken to an execution site with a vault-like quality. For example, some kind of building material store, which is kind of scary.

51:26 Maybe like where they had lumber or something like that so that it would absorb the bullets spray. Because where he was actually staying supposedly didn't have any of the evidence that would have indicated that he was disposed of there. The spotlight now falls upon a man who had hovered for years in a dangerous kind of...

51:57 Never Never Land of state secrets, terrorism, and organized crime. And that's a guy by the name of Antonio Cicirelli. And he basically was kind of one of those stereotypical mafia guys that played around with the rich and famous. And he was an art dealer. He was also a master forger and art smuggler.

52:28 He moved freely in the underworld, inhibited by the fascist Nuclea Ambrate revolutionaries, NAR, which was linked to the Bologna train station massacre and also to the bank massacre. So this is a guy playing around in Operation Gladio big time in Italy. Both organizations moved in the same.

52:58 of Bandedella Magliana. Gotta love these names. So they both had ties to Jelly's P2 Lodge as well. They both ran in the same intelligence circles. They both had sponsors in the Christian Democrat Party.

53:28 was known to criminal gangs, and had connections to the Vatican. So there was a lot of overlap there. At the peak of the Morrow crisis, Chi Chi Raleigh personally circulated the famous Forge Seventh Directive of the Red Brigade, purportedly ordering the leadership to liquidate Morrow. This was an essential element of the plan to affix the responsibility for the kidnapping on the Red Brigade.

53:59 He knew perfectly well that Morrow's kidnappers were the people that assisted the criminal gang known as the Dinostrata. So this, and I don't even know how you pronounce it, Androstiata, that's the gang that was just all taken down in 2019. This guy was tied to them.

54:29 That gang was completely in Operation Gladio big time because in multiple things as it relates to Italy, I want to spell it for you. It's a hyphen, N-D-R-A-N-G-H-E-T-A. So in 2019, that one that I keep talking, they're definitely mafia. I keep talking about that.

54:58 large mafia family being taken down, that's the one that was taken down. They basically had ties to the kidnapping and killing of Morrow as well. So the author goes on and talks about who basically owned the places where he was supposedly kept and how basically it all ends up being one very small family.

55:33 of coincidences that are not really coincidences. And let's see. Then you had a whole bunch of people that was kind of operating on the outside of the Morrow incident that started dropping dead. So you had in March of 1979, a guy by the name, a journalist by the name of Carmine Pecorelli.

56:07 He was referred to as Mino. He's the one that started breaking the news about Operation Gladio being a thing. Now, keep in mind, it doesn't actually get revealed until 1990. This guy was on it from the very beginning in 1979. So he gets gunned down in a drive-by shooting near his office in Rome. And roughly a year after the murder of Morrow, Mino had intimate links to the underground state and secret services.

56:35 a specialty of him being an investigative reporter. He was sufficiently trusted to enter Jelly's enchanted circle. Like his British counterpart, a veteran journalist by the name of Chapman Pincher, Minow would be fed valuable scoops bubbling up from the underground. And in return, he would pass confidential material in the opposite direction. It was a game of two masters and eventually cost him his life.

57:05 Piccarelli was amenable to bribes for the privilege of keeping quiet. After Morrow's death, Piccarelli published some of Morrow's letters to the family, giving rise to considerable curiosity about how he got them. When Piccarelli published his new sheet claiming that Morrow's kidnappers was organized by a superpower, i.e. the U.S. and NATO, he wrote his own death certificate. In a cryptic article,

57:34 In 1978, Piccarelli implied a connection between Gladio and Morrow's death. Of course, this was sensational because of the claim which disturbed Pissarek, the CIA guy that had come over, namely that during captivity, Morrow referred to NATO guerrilla activities on Italian soil. The source of this highly...

58:05 interesting figure, the striking, handsome senior cabin, uh, cabinery general by the name of Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, whose name was inter, um, it was interwoven throughout the Morrow affair, suggested an intimate knowledge of all of this going on because the carabinieri

58:35 was intimately involved in Operation Gladio. He claimed to have stumbled onto a famous Gladio letter allegedly written by Morrow. This he quietly tucked into his pocket and used it later. There were well-grounded suspicions. It was actually the apartment where Morrow had been held. So you also have Della.

59:10 Chiesa, who was another patio operator that was kind of operating around this entire kidnapping fiasco as well. It is probable, certain even, that Pecorelli brushed up against General Della Chiesa at P2 gatherings. That may be why he always referred to him as General Amen, possibly a cover since Della Chiesa.

59:39 was not on Jelly's regular dance part. So, general amen. And it also has to do with the fact that they were all connected to the Vatican, too. Because keep in mind, during this entire time, the Vatican is money laundering all of their money. So, probably going to have to stop short of the end of this chapter, because this chapter goes on for quite a bit.

1:00:10 That may actually be a good place to stop because they get into a little bit more of the detail here. What I want to cover for the rest of the Italian part of this is the money aspect of it, which is basically what we get to next. So Aldo Moro is dead and now they're going to have.

1:00:41 Andriotti, who they've already bought and paid for. And they're going to, well, they have already been using the Vatican as money laundering. But I want to get into the interchange between the Vatican and some of the banking within Italy, because it's very important to illustrate their role.

1:01:13 They set up to use these other banks that were under the control of the banking industry in Italy. Because you can't just money launder with one bank. You have to actually money launder with a couple of banks and some legitimate businesses. There has to be an interchange of this money moving around so that it can get claimed. So they went into an arrangement.

1:01:41 With a bank that was under the management of a guy by the name of Calvi, C-A-L-V-I. He ends up hanging off of a bridge in London, murdered. And it was a hit job as well. So I do want to go over that a little bit. That's the rest of the chapter. We'll be able to knock that out in like 10 minutes of the next one. And then we'll move on to the next chapter.

1:02:10 Thanks for being here. I did want to remind everybody that at nine o'clock I will be on a spaces with, um, a new person. Let me look her up real quick, um, and see if she sent me the, um, invite, um, Janet from another planet. And, um, I will post the link to her spaces as soon as I get it. So

1:02:40 Thank you very much for being here, and I will see you guys or talk to you, hopefully, at 9 o'clock when Her Spaces starts. So I know y'all are probably tired of hearing. It is going to be basically an intro to Gladio. I'll try to throw in some of the more recent stuff, like the USS Liberty, now that we're done with that.

1:03:07 Um, and some of the, um, more sensational pieces of it, as opposed to just the, um, old background that we've all heard, um, so many times, but I really appreciate you guys being there, um, and helping me educate, um, all of the new audiences, um, that we're being exposed to every day. So again, thanks for being here and hopefully I will see you, um, in an hour.

1:03:37 Bye.
