Long buried in Cold War shadows, a network of secret armies spanned across Western Europe—funded, trained, and armed in silence. Their official purpose? To resist a Soviet invasion. But beneath the surface, the story of Operation Gladio reveals a far murkier reality: independent arsenals, covert interference in democratic processes, and alleged ties to terrorism and organised crime.
In this explosive episode, we dive into declassified documents, European Parliament resolutions, and whistleblower testimony to expose the hidden architecture of NATO’s stay-behind networks. From arms caches in Belgium to covert CIA-SIS coordination in Italy, and rogue operatives in Turkey, we ask the question few dared to utter:
What happens when democracy is protected by forces operating outside of it?
This isn't a conspiracy theory. This is Gladio.
