Talk:Aginter Press

I've added a disputed tag to the article. Wikipedia:Reliable sources says: "Exceptional claims require exceptional sources". These sources are not present in this article, while pretty bold claims are being made, like the Aginter Press being supported by NATO, or CIA. Intangible2.0 16:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is part of an effort to attribute all of the worlds' evils to NATO, Gladio and "stay behind". The proof... what proof is needed ? it goes without saying that it's all NATO's fault. And it goes even better by saying it.Giordaano 09:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I recently discovered this article after doing some reading, and it certainly does appear to be written according to reliable sources. Per Swiss historian Daniele Ganser's NATO's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe (London: Frank Cass [division of Taylor & Francis], 2005 ISBN 9780714656076), p. 117:

“

In Portugal Guerin Serac linked up with French right-wingers and OAS fugitives, whereupon former Petainist Jacques Ploncard d'Assac introduced him to the right-wing establishment and the PIDE. Due to his extensive experience Guerin Serac was recruited as an instructor for the counterguerrilla units of the Portuguese army. It was within this context that he erected Aginter Press as an ultra-secret anti-Communist army with the support of both the PIDE and the CIA. Aginter Press set up training camps in which it instructed mercenaries and terrorists in a three-week course in covert action techniques including hands-on bomb terorism, silent assassination, subversion techniques, clandestine communication and infiltration and colonial warfare.

Next to Guerin Serac, Italian-right wing terrorist Stefano Delle Chiaie was among the founding fathers of the Aginter Press. 'We acted against the Communists and against the bourgeois state, against democracy, which deprived us of liberty. And thus we had to use violence,' Delle Chiaie later reasoned. 'We were considered to be criminals, but in reality we were the victims of an anti-Fascist liberal movement. Thus we wanted to make our ideas public, we wanted to be heard all over the world.' Aged 30, Delle Chiaie in the mid-1960s together with Guerin Serac and the support of the CIA set up the Aginter secret army. 'Together with a French friend of mine [Guerin Serac] we I decided back then [1965], to establish my press agency Aginter Press, in order to be able to defend our political views.' In the years that followed Delle Chiaie became maybe the most brutal right-wing terrorist directly linked to the secret war. In Italy he engaged in coup d'etats and massacres, including the Piazza Fontana Massacre of 1969, and in Latin America together with Nazi Klaus Barbie, the 'butcher of Lyon', he propped up right-wing dictatorships.

So I really don't see what the objections are about, and am accordingly going to remove the current tags. And if there is any particular thing that you may find unreferenced, just remove it. Thanks. Zloyvolsheb (talk) 02:08, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
