Part two of our series with @Aaron_Good_ and Peter Dale Scott drops tomorrow. Subjects: the long history of US protection for al Qaeda, a CIA/GID operation that protected two alleged hijackers in the US for 18 months, and DCI Tenet’s personal complicity in the events of 9/11.

Vincenzo Vinciguerra, member of Gladio-affiliated fascist militia: "When you were on the right, you were supposed to attack civilians, for one simple reason: to force the Italian public to turn to the state, and ask for greater security." "People would willingly trade part of their freedom for the security of being able to walk the streets, go on trains, or enter a bank. This is the political logic behind all the bombings."
