About this listen
During the Cold War, NATO backed secret "stay-behind" armies across Europe, preparing to resist a Soviet invasion. But in countries like Italy, these clandestine networks became something else entirely — implicated in terrorism, political manipulation, and a covert war on democracy itself.
This episode investigates Operation Gladio, a decades-long covert strategy involving intelligence agencies, right-wing extremists, and false flag attacks. What began as a defensive operation may have evolved into something far more sinister — a campaign of fear to steer the West’s political future.
