THE KNIGHTS OF THE EXTREME RIGHT THE KNIGHTS THE EXTREME RIGHT Many secret societies, including those aimed at nurturing the spiritual enlightenment of their members, have been infiltrated by intelligence agencies for the purposes of grooming terrorists and fulfilling nefarious political agendas. re secret societies just another front for shady intelligence operations? Are members of knightly orders groomed to become terrorists? Many initiatory cults, from the Solar Temple to the Rosicrucians, are or have been used as fronts for extremely nefarious and horrific dramas. In "State-sponsored Terrorism in the Western World" (NEXUS vol. 14, no. 2, February-March 2007), | highlighted that western governments had organised errorist activities against their own citizens, often sacrificing the lives of innocent civilians for what they consider to be the greater good. In countries ike Belgium and Italy, government inquiries revealed that a secret army, nown as the "stay-behind network", had been staffed by their own citizens. In Belgium, it had taken orders from the Belgian State Security Service, the equivalent of the Russian FSB or the American CIA. The cell was code-named SDRA8 and was directly linked to NATO's stay-behind centres, the Allied Clandestine Committee (ACC) and the Clandestine Planning Committee CPC). In Italy, a series of bombing campaigns in the 1980s left hundreds of innocent people—often commuters—dead and injured. These campaigns were part of a "strategy of tension", a way to control and manipulate public opinion using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateurs and false-flag terrorist actions, all carried out to scare the average citizen into the belief that communism was near and willing to kill. In truth, it was the intelligence agencies of the western world that killed and created a threat that was never real. Though state-sponsored terrorism is now a commonly accepted fact for these episodes (though the role of the British government in Northern Ireland remains a hotly debated topic), what is less known is that what kept this international network of "government-employed terrorists" organised was a series of pseudo-chivalric organisations, which conspiracy theorists have largely failed to identify for what they truly are and which the "esoteric crowd" largely has embraced with love. Knightly and Terrorist Overlaps in Argentina, Spain and Italy One of the most prominent examples of a knightly overlap with the extreme right is the case of José Lépez Rega, a leader of the Umbanda voodoo cult which was strong in Argentina in the 1970s. Lopez Rega made his career in the ranks of the Argentinian federal police, but left the police force in 1961 at the age of forty-five. In 1965, he became acquainted with Marfa Estela Martinez, the third wife of Juan Perén, who became enthralled by the occultist. He became her personal bodyguard, and soon after he became private secretary to President Perén himself. When Per6n returned to Argentina in 1973, Lopez Rega became a minister in his new government. To "keep communism at bay", Lépez Rega founded the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance (AAA), which was responsible for a series of brutal by Philip Coppens © 2010 PO Box 13722 North Berwick EH39 4WB United Kingdom Email: info@philipcoppens.com Website: http://www. philipcoppens.com PO Box 13722 United Kingdom Email: info@philipcoppens.com Website: http://www. philipcoppens.com NEXUS ¢ 23 by Philip Coppens © 2010 North Berwick EH39 4WB FEBRUARY - MARCH 2011 www.nexusmagazine.com
