Belgium wants unified ‘European CIA,’ cites Paris attacks

Comment: Since Brussels is at the heart of the Anglo-American Establishment via Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) it's hardly surprising they want to make it official and extend their police state surveillance across the rapidly fragmenting Eurostates.

The Paris terror attacks have prompted Belgium to call for a unified European intelligence agency that would share information to nip future threats in the bud. The idea has been met with skepticism from such EU members as Germany. 

The statement was made by Belgium’s Prime Minister, Charles Michel. “We must quickly put in place a European intelligence agency, a European CIA,” in order to “unmask those with hostile intentions,” Michel said on French radio RTL.

His proposal follows the horrific attacks in Paris, which were orchestrated by a terrorist cell out of Belgium. According to the prime minister, the incident brought a lack of information sharing between various European intelligence agencies to light. Michel stressed that Europe-wide protocols could prevent future attacks within the EU.

“If intelligence services were able to share information without fail there might never be another attack,” he said, stressing that no system has been put in place to regularize these exchanges.

The idea of a central European intelligence agency had already been brought up by the European Home Affairs commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, on Friday.

Gladio – the Gift that Keeps on Giving

Gladio seems to still be with us

We are seeing it today, in the Ukraine, Syria, across Africa; more than two dozen instances have been cataloged. Highly organized armed groups, multiple nationalities, all drawn upon at need, ready for any mission, riot, revolution, subversion, terror attacks or assassinations.

Their actions are ruthless, their allegiances a matter of “conspiracy theory.” They never take credit, never issue manifestos, have no website.

Gladio operatives run entire nations, the Republic of Georgia certainly, Albania/Kosovo, in South America, Bolivia and Paraguay. There is always a political theme, though vague and ethereal, the signs are there, Western intelligence agencies, secret societies, manipulation of commodity markets, currencies and, above all sovereign debt.

The group is called “Gladio”, after the Latin term “gladius”, the short sword used in the Roman arena. Those who have heard of Operation Gladio have a vague notion of a NATO sponsored anti-communist program that, during the 1980s and 90s somehow “went wrong.” The version told the public is actually quite amusing.

Supposedly, Gladio was established after the war by SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, Europe). Were one to assume the mysterious Gehlen Organization, CIA and Gladio were one in the same, same roots, same financing, same lack of accountability, one might be on a very strong footing.

What isn’t amusing is the fact that Gladio is still operating. When Anders Breivik, the worst mass murder in recent years, admitted to being a Gladio operative, few were surprised.

All the signs were there, intelligence services and police agencies helping him every step of the way and a prison life of not just privilege but periodic forays outside the walls when he feels the need for a breath of fresh air.

Other Gladio signature operations are seen at Sandy Hook, the Boston Marathon, Ft. Hood or the anthrax attacks and “DC Sniper,” these and so many more, nameless mysterious “lone gunmen” with lots of help. Gladio operations may well have killed 8000 in Iraq last year alone.
