Letters from Vienna #78
Dear Emanuel,
I realise that your wife’s funeral is preventing you from replying to my missive and understand completely. I imagine this must be all very trying and sympathise with your difficulties!
At one and the same time, I don’t think it a terribly good idea to do a joint YouTube video, to Zoom or even to phone. I try to keep a low profile (all these letters amount to is a bit of harmless sniping and they do nothing whatsoever to prevent the roll out of the new totalitarian global state). There have been two attempts to bump me off; I sincerely don’t want there to be a third.
These letters are purely a form of self-defence and I’ve been forced by the Deep State to write them. Believe me: I’d much rather be penning abysmal poetry or working on my mediocre novel, which I’ve woefully neglected. I intend to take a couple of weeks off after this letter to focus on it once more; perhaps there is hope of improvement! It is, in contrast to these letters, a labor of love!
My position is the reverse of that of Metternich, who once opined that he’d rather change history than write a novel. I, by contrast, would much rather confine myself to an ivory tower and scribble away on works that nobody ever reads than engage in politics or polemic!
Aldo Moro
The subject of my seventy-eighth letter is the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro in 1978. This is yet another example of my favourite theme: “all is theatre” and concerns something that has long intrigued and fascinated me: Gladio. To quote from Daniele Ganser’s book:
“The clandestine network, which after the revelations of the Italian Prime Minister was researched by judges, parliamentarians, academics and investigative journalists across Europe, is now understood to have been code-named “Gladio” (the sword) in Italy, while in other countries the network operated under different names including “Absalon” in Denmark, “ROC” in Norway and “SDRA8” in Belgium. In each country the military secret service operated the anti-Communist army within the state in close collaboration with the CIA or the MI6 unknown to parliaments and populations. In each country, leading members of the executive, including Prime Ministers, Presidents, Interior Ministers and Defence Ministers, were involved in the conspiracy, while the “Allied Clandestine Committee” (ACC), sometimes also euphemistically called the “Allied Co-ordination Committee” and the “Clandestine Planning Committee” (CPC), less conspicuously at times also called “Coordination and Planning Committee” of NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), coordinated the networks on the international level. The last confirmed secret meeting of ACC with representatives of European secret services took place on October 24, 1990 in Brussels.”[1]
Although Ganser’s slim volume is very good the best introduction to the topic is the outstanding documentary[2] by Allan James Francovich. It’s not without interest to note that he perished under mysterious circumstances upon his arrival at the airport in Houston, Texas, in 1997. The Deep State doesn’t like this topic to be aired in public. A few wild, crazy “conspiracy theorists” may be permitted to discuss it privately but on no account is it be mentioned in the Main Stream Media! Not anymore at least!
The prologue to the Moro kidnapping and murder was his conflict with US guidelines: “Moro’s policy of seeking an accommodation with the PCI (The Italian Communist Party) had encountered powerful and long-standing opposition. This was made particularly explicit during a visit to the United States as Foreign Minister in September 1974. One of his collaborators, Corrado Guerzoni, has described a traumatic meeting with Henry Kissinger during which the US Secretary of State attempted to dissuade Moro from pursuing a political course which he considered profoundly dangerous and mistaken. Moro’s pro-Arab foreign policy also added to the suspicion with which he was viewed in government circles. “The next day he was taken ill in St. Patrick’s Cathedral and when he returned he told me repeatedly that he did not intend to resume political life for a long time,” without telling me the reason,” Guerzoni told the Rome assize court. Moro also insisted that Guerzoni should inform the press of his intention to withdraw from politics. According to another account, Moro held a secret evening meeting with an unnamed US intelligence official, who warned him of the determination within the security services to block the implementation of his policies. In the course of this meeting, which took place during the same US visit, he was advised that groups on the fringes of the official secret services might be brought into operation if he did not abandon his policy of negotiating with the communists.”
“Moro’s wife, Eleonora, confirmed these threats to her husband in testimony to the Moro Commission. “It’s one of the few occasions when my husband told me exactly what had been said to him, without telling me the name of the person concerned. I will try and repeat it now: “You must abandon your policy of bringing all the political forces in your country into direct collaboration. Either you give this up or you will pay dearly for it.””[3]
“Moro was kidnapped on the morning of 16 March 1978, as he drove to Parliament for the opening of a confidence debate on a newly formed government of national unity, which would enjoy the support of the PCI for the first time since 1947. Moro’s car was approaching a crossroads, where Via Mario Fani meets Via Stresa, in the residential suburb where he lived, when a white Fiat 128 with diplomatic number plates reversed around the corner into its path. The sudden maneuver forced his driver to brake abruptly and the escort car, following close behind, rammed into the back of them. two men from the white car and a further four who had been waiting in the street, wearing the uniforms of Alitalia airline pilots, opened fire on Moro’s bodyguards, killing all five of them. only one guard succeeded in returning fire, loosing off two rounds. Three of the bodyguards were not killed outright but were finished off at close range.”
“Of the ninety-one shots fired by the terrorists, the majority were fired by just two people, one of them responsible for forty-nine and the other for twenty-two shots. One of the witnesses to the scene described the principal gunman as calm and determined, showing “complete mastery of his weapon”, a submachine-gun. A ballistics report on the attack described it as a textbook operation, perfectly planned “both to leave Moro unharmed and to prevent the accidental wounding of accomplices.” It also noted that the professional skill of the principle gunman did not correspond to that of any known Red Brigades member.”[4]
To this day it isn’t clear who was really behind Moro’s kidnap and murder:
“Most sensitive of all is the role of US intelligence in the kidnap and murder of Aldo Moro. Unquestionably, the United States was opposed to his policy of accommodation with the PCI and had an interest in his removal. Unquestionably, the CIA refused to help in the search for his prison…Whether US intelligence agencies were directly involved in some way in Moro’s kidnap…remains an open question.”[5]
All Roads Lead To Rome
Two other books on Gladio are worth mentioning: “Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance Between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia” by Paul L. Williams and “Gladio, Nato's Dagger at the Heart of Europe: The Pentagon-Nazi-Mafia Terror“ by Richard Cottrell.
Alas, if Paul L. Williams is right, all roads seem to lead to Rome, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. It was in Rome that the forerunner of the “Globalist” EU was founded in 1957, it was in Rome that the depopulation agenda was openly discussed (Here is a link to one of the authors of the “Limits of Growth”, who is quite open about depopulation:
) and it was in Rome that the Big Lie of “Global Warming” was revived and propagated.
But I fear that I’m boring you and am growing long-winded. I too, once more, must end prematurely. I simply have too much to do! I’m busy and the week-end is about to commence!
I sincerely hope that you found this missive informative and stimulating and that it gave you some food for thought. I shall continue in my endeavours in the none-too distant future but will, for the time being, content myself with demanding literary work.
All the best,
Michael
