Concave Inverted Ass: Episode 69 (Operation Gladio and more CIA fuckery in Post-War Italy)

In this episode of the podcast we sip on a delightfully tangy gin and champagne treat called the French 75. This cocktail, named in honor of the French 75-millimeter light field gun (a fast and deadly weapon used during WWI), was quite the hit in France in the late 40s and early 50s the time when STEPHANIE’s scandal would start in Italy and be pushed out to the rest of Europe.

STEPHANIE sheds like on Gladio, the codename for the secret CIA-backed paramilitary network of “stay behinds” in Western Europe whose explicit goal was to activate in the event of a Soviet invasion but in reality was used in the event the working class grew too strong once again. We 🥂to doing fascists things with your friends!
