      The roots of this go back to very earliest OSS/CIA days in Italy (where early intelligence agencies allied with mafia & ex-fascists to consolidate post-Mussolini state). Italy was always wild west of spyworld, much more than rest of Europe.

          Rigged the 1948 elections to keep the Communists from winning, didn't the CIA and others?

          No. CIA helped Christian Democrats and Social Democrats (anti-fascists), but they didn’t cancel a sure communist, the PCI would have lost anyway. The myth of 1948 is bigger among ignorant Anglo historians than even pro-communist Italian historians

          Wild West indeed including “fighting communist cells” which were an Italian intelligence operation designed to discredit the Communists (this is before the authentic communist terrorist Ref Brigades made it obsolete).

          A conspiracy theory ? Yes. Also the final verdict of courts who conclude it is proven beyond reasonable doubt. Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.

          This was just to get us back for the CIA’s 1947 election shenanigans, I’m sure.
