32. Standard Operating Procedure- "Strategy of Tension"
Strategy of tension

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


The Strategy of Tension (Italian; "strategia della tensione") is a way to control and manipulate public opinion using propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateurs and terror. Coined in Italy during the trials of the 1970s and 1980s terror attacks and murders committed by neofascist terrorists backed by deviated intelligence agencies or NATO's secret stay-behind networks ("Gladio"). Other examples include Operation Condor in South America and events in Algeria during the 1990s.

Now this is old hat to folks like you NNNOLHI but it must always be proven to those who are unwilling to face the reality of how the world of power politics really functions.

Thanks.
