The conservative german Süddeutsche Zeitung on April
4 published an remarkable article within a series on the
occasion of the 60th anniversary of NATO.
excerpts and summary here:
Underground Troops In Nato
Countries - Guerilla For The State
It was a secret of many Nato member countries.
Underground armies were existing to fight in the case of
a Soviet invasion in guerrilla fashion. The trails lead
back into the 1950s - and NATO is still blocking the
facts.
from Jonathan Stock
The article on Süddeutsche Zeitung goes in great
detail into the history of Gladio,
its connections with former german SS troops and plans to
blow up bridges and other strategic infrastructures in
case of an soviet invasion in the aftermath of WW2 and
the beginning Cold War.. The story of the "Stay
behind Army" was blown open in 1952 when members of
the underground groups informed police and the scandal
first made the news. This lead to a politcal uproar when
it is revealed that a list of numerous well known german
personalities exited who were planned to have been killed
in case of an emergency situation. The list included
communists as well as social democrats and the state
interior minister of the german state of Hessen. Several
people were arrested when the list was discovered. German
chancellor Adenauer claimed to have not known anything
about the activities at the time. The US High
Commissioner Walter Donnelly claimed the group was about
to be dissolved in the same month when the arrests
occurred. The Süddeutsche Zeitung article goes on to
report that after a ruling of the german constitutional
court the arrested members were released in the same
month of 1952.
In October of 1952 Prime Minister of the german state
of Hessen made the case public in a speech in front of
the state parliament . After that even the New York Times
and the german newsmagazin Der Spiegel reported about the
case and for the first time the public learned about the
existence of the "Stay Behind Army" of NATO
The Süddeutsche Zeitung article then reports about
former Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti who in
1990 during investigations about alleged Mafia and crime
connections chose to reveal the existence of the italian
"Stay-behind-Organisation" named
"Gladio“.
This lead to a offical report of the german government
in December 1990 that said: "The units that where
set up by allied secret services on german territory
until 1955 for means of securing intelligence and
trafficking of personal have been transfered into the
custody of german intelligence services as of 1956."
The same report also stated that the organisation was not
dissolved as promised in 1952 and that 104 people still
were active at the time of the report.
The article in Sueddeutsche Zeitung goes then in great
detail into explaining the findings of the swiss
university professor Daniele
Ganser. The paper explains about the 11 countries in
which the underground Gladio network was active according
to professor Ganser and then quotes him: "The groups
intervened massively in the interior affairs of some of
these countries - at least in Belgium, Greece, Turkey,
France and Italy, for example with the bombing of the
central railway station in Bologna in 1980." and
then "It can not be accepted, that tax money is
being used to kill ordinary citizens."
Daily Exposes Plans To Use
Staged Terror Attacks
In Disinfo Campaign Against German Red Army
Another remarkable article appeared in the
conservative daily DIE WELT on April 10, shortly after
new findings appeared in the press about the history of
the german Red
Army Brigade, which some researchers claim was
infiltrated by german intelligence services during its
final years.
excerpts and a summary of the article:
Police Planned Terror In
Fight Against RAF (Red Army Faction)
For 30 years these files were classified, top secret..
Now the files from the interior ministry from Stuttgart
show details of a desinformation campaign, which the
Federal Criminal Police Office and the intelligence of
the german state Baden-Württemberg wanted to go against
the Red Army Faction.
DIE WELT proceeds by stating that it seems absurd but
the information seem to back the fact that there were
plans that considered staging terror attacks and then
blaiming them on the left group "Red Army
Faction"
This included scenarios of terror attacks on the
Berlin water supply network and the electricity grid in
the city of Hamburg.
The paper then goes on to describe how the head of
Bundeskriminalamts (BKA), Horst Herold, had a framework
set up officially called: "Desinformation in the
fight against terrorism" This included the concept
of falsified news reports and infiltration of political
groups.
The newspaper also states that no files were found to
prove that any of these scenarios were actually realised.
According to the former head or the State Criminal Office
Mr. Kuno Bux "The concept of desinformation was
abandoned, because for judicial and political reasons it
could not be implemented."
The WELT article was based on an article that was
published in the news magazine DER SPIEGEL with a
different headline.

Scholl-Latour on German TV:

GROWING

Afghanistan and Iraq in which
hundreds of thousands of innocent people have already

explanation of 9/11 can not be correct.
Hundreds of international personalities in science,
politics, and culture, including high-ranking military
veterans,

investigation.
