ETA and GAL: two arms of the same Gladio network in Spain
Investigation linking ETA and GAL as arms of the same NATO Gladio network, with drug trafficking funding and CIA control.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Did the CIA create ETA to control terrorism in Spain?
In the late 1980s, the imminent fall of the Berlin Wall forced a restructuring of Operation Gladio, the NATO network of secret armies that had operated outside state control for decades. In Spain, the ETA-GAL framework had become useless when the border peine in 1990 and the cover of drug trafficking and money laundering was deactivated. The official narrative, which separates the two organizations, collapses when financial connections, the deaths of key witnesses, and links to the Italian mafia and the CIA are trinc.
The origin of ETA: a command trained by the CIA in 1945
The central thesis holds that ETA was not born as a spontaneous independence movement, but as a creation of US intelligence. The first ETA command would have been trained at the Rothschild castle in 1945 by the CIA, under the command of 'Captain Plastic', who provided the dynamite for the bombing of the statue of General Mola in El Arenal as a message to Franco. The selectors of that command had previously worked for the South American Gladio network, a fact that connects political violence with NATO's psychological warfare apparatus.
The founding of ETA as an organization in 1959 was, according to this investigation, a false flag operation aimed at wearing down the Franco regime and, later, controlling the transition. Historian Mikel Rodríguez has documented that among ETA's first instructors were agents trained by the United States, a link that official historiography has systematically avoided.
The ETA-GAL plot: drug trafficking, weapons and mutual protection
The core of the theory states that ETA and GAL (Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación, Antiterrorist Liberation Groups) were not enemies, but two tentacles of the same operation. The terrorist group killed those who could testify against GAL agents, and the latter eliminated inconvenient people who knew the real structure. The paradigmatic case is that of Melitón Manzanas, a police officer from Irún who controlled smuggling at the border; his death in 1968 marked the beginning of the armed escalation.
This framework used drug trafficking as financial fuel. The 'Peseta connection' was used to triangulate weapons and launder money from reserved funds. In 1988, Italian mafia boss Antonio Bardellino, arrested in Spain in 1984 and released by judges Rodríguez, was murdered in Brazil after being extracted from his refuge in Santo Domingo. The objective: to eliminate the links that were no longer useful.
The fall of ETA's leadership and the role of the Hyperion school
The arrest of ETA's leadership in Bidart, in March 1992, was a joint orchestration between Spanish and French police, but fundamentally responded to the need to renew the network's cadres. The driver of ETA member Txelis, Philippe Lassalle (alias 'Tintín'), was an agent of Operation Milú, and the Hyperion school in Paris functioned as a CIA cover to recruit and control terrorists from the Red Brigades and ETA.
Paul L. Williams' book, 'Operation Gladio', details how this language academy served as a meeting point for terrorists who, unknowingly, were managed by US intelligence. The same school appears linked to the 11M attacks in Madrid, when the agency ICOP Digital — directed by Noel Koch — monitored trains in the United States and then controlled European stations.
The network's present: from the 2030 Agenda to the state's sewers
The thread extends to the present, pointing to connections with figures such as Laura Owen — involved in point 8 of the 2030 Agenda and vvife of someone implicated in Irangate —, the company Evergreen accused of drug trafficking and child trafficking through containers, and the company General Dynamics, chaired by former CIA director Frank Carlucci. The investigation suggests that the Gladio network was not dismantled, but mutated into more sophisticated forms of geopolitical and economic control.
The amortization of the 'no future' — like prisoner De Juana Chaos, considered an infiltrated wolf — and the management of reptile funds that Vice President Sáenz de Santamaría attributed to ETA would be, according to this hypothesis, maneuvers to cover up agents who were exposed after the fall of the Wall.
