Mafia-style assassination of investigative journalist possibly related to Operation Gladio B

A bizarre case of assassination shook the world of investigative journalism. The Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Galizia was killed recently by a car bomb in Malta. Most of the mainstream media connected the assassination with a fuel-smuggling network or money laundering.

However, the independent news media, Newsbud, supports another theory, which relates the assassination with an updated Operation Gladio by the US intelligence that is still active.

As NewsBud reports:

The story connects to Malta's role as one of the main hubs for offshore banking and money laundering for Operation Gladio B. Also connects to Malta's connection with Azerbaijan and its role in heroin trafficking and weapons trafficking, supplying weapons to terrorist groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda under the CIA and NATO's Operation Gradio B. The story also connects to the Panama Papers and much more.

Whistleblower and investigative journalist, Sibel Edmonds, who is the one that first shed light on the Operation Gladio B, reveals:

Beginning in 2005-06, I began exposing not only Azerbaijan's role, but the three main offshore banking centers for operation Gladio B: Cyprus, Dubai and Malta. In some ways, the Panama Papers partially exposed Malta's role as a banking center for money laundering. However, Panama Papers doesn't even begin to touch the real role of Malta for almost two decades as part of Operation Gladio B, operating as the financial money laundering center along with Dubai and Cyprus.

I see that the mainstream media report so far - from what we have seen - focuses on Daphne Galizia's exposure of the local politicians, including the PM of Malta, but this case goes way beyond corruption. Daphne got too close to the heart of Operation Gladio B's operations. And this is right after the exposure that we covered at Newsbud, dealing with Azerbaijan's role and Silk Way, and this was something that Operation Gladio B could not tolerate.

With this, we have been seeing the most drastic measure that can be taken against any investigative journalist, and this is a plain assassination using car bomb to blow up a journalist that got just too close to the heart of the Operation Gladio B. With this assassination, what we are looking at, is a chilling message from the Operation Gladio B to any investigative journalist, or investigative blogger that dares to get too close to this operation and its exposure.

It makes sense someone to suspect that such a mafia-style assassination of an investigative journalist is related to something quite deeper than simple political corruption and money laundering, or even fuel smuggling, which are things that have become almost ordinary cases in our days.

According to Edmonds, "Operation Gladio B" is an FBI codename adopted in 1997 for ongoing relations between US intelligence, the Pentagon, and Al Qaeda. The name refers to the original Operation Gladio, in which US intelligence had established groups (stay-behind forces) in Europe in preparation for a Soviet invasion.

According to Edmonds, Gladio B identified, among other things, regular meetings between senior US intelligence and current leader of Al Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahiri at the U.S. embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan between 1997 and 2001, with al-Zawahiri and other mujahideen being transported by NATO aircraft to Central Asia and the Balkans to participate in Pentagon-backed destabilisation operations.

She added that in 1997, NATO asked Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to release from prison Islamist militants affiliated with Ayman al-Zawahiri. They were flown by U.S. intelligence orders to Turkey for training and use in operations by the Pentagon.

Additionally, she reported that an Al-Qaeda leader had been training some of the 9-11 hijackers at a base in Turkey. These and related allegations were seemingly confirmed by Sunday Times journalists in 2008 who spoke to Pentagon and MI6 sources. However, according to Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, the journalists were prevented from publishing many of these allegations when the second half of their four-part series was dropped, possibly due to pressure from the U.S. State Department.

She suggests that the objectives of Gladio B are "projecting U.S. power in the former Soviet sphere of influence to access previously untapped strategic energy and mineral reserves for U.S. and European companies; pushing back Russian and Chinese power; and expanding the scope of lucrative criminal activities, particularly illegal arms and drugs trafficking." Former FBI special agent Dennis Saccher states Edmonds's story "should have been front page news" because it is "a scandal bigger than Watergate".

The wounded US imperialist beast becomes more dangerous than ever as desperately seeks to start a WWIII

globinfo freexchange It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable. The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc. Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s. As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances. In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the United States House of Representative

"Student Intifada": Stanford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, & more

The Real News Network Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam. In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel. TRNN speaks with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and gets updates from encampments from New York to California.

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Raid & Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Democracy Now! As Germany intensifies its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, Democracy Now! spoke with Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, one of the planned speakers at a conference in Berlin last weekend that was forcibly shut down by police.

"The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and pro

Day 1846: Julian Assange still in prison and under slow-motion execution by the Anglo-American imperialist criminals

failed evolution On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges. The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies. The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future. And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is
