Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia

Book by Paul L. Williams

Operation Gladio

This unsettling exposé details a covert collaboration between the CIA, the Sicilian and US mafias, and the Vatican formed at the end of WWII to prevent a Communist invasion of Europe.

Journalist Paul L. Williams cites evidence indicating the presence of “stay-behind” units ranging in size from 5,000 to 15,000 military personnel in numerous European countries.

 According to the author’s research, the initial funding for these guerilla armies came from the sale of large stocks of SS morphine that had been smuggled out of Germany and Italy and of bogus British bank notes that had been produced in concentration camps by skilled counterfeiters.

 As the Cold War intensified, the units were used not only to ward off possible invaders, but also to thwart the rise of left-wing movements in South America and NATO-based countries by terror attacks

According to Williams, Operation Gladio resulted in the overthrow of governments, wholesale genocide, the formation of death squads, massive financial scandals, the creation of the mujahideen, an international narcotics network, and, most recently, the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis I, a Jesuit cleric with strong ties to Operation Condor (an outgrowth of Gladio in Argentina).
