        Reading through the article it appears that the group that carried out the most assassination was the Brigado Rosso, or Red Brigades. Interestingly, they also killed a prominent politician of the Christian Democrats, Aldo Moro, who was actively looking into working with the communist party, and his assassination killed his party’s plans to work with the Communist Party.

        The CIA appears to have been involved only marginally, being mentioned only only at one point where fascists ask them if the USA would theoretically support a coup. (Technically they’re also mentioned in the list of parties involved in the conflict, as alleged supporters of the fascists). While this doesn’t prove that they weren’t involved, I did expect there to be more proven CIA meddling based on your earlier claims.

        It appears that the CIA wasn’t to blame for the leftist’s. In fact, it seems like the Marxist-Leninist Red Brigades killed people until they had no allies left, thus being unable to sustain their campaign of assassinations. So, yeah, basically your source completely undermines your position.

          I want you to know. That handlers might not pull the bullets. But they control the messaging from Langley. Just like Che’s death. It wasn’t an American killing them. But they were in the room when they were killed.

            So, do you have any actual evidence that the CIA got involved in the years of lead? Or are you seriously trying to tell me that the Red Brigades were CIA puppets?

              Simple answer. Is there are books detailing this. But there is no direct smoking gun to say the CIA directly participated in assassinations. It’s just known that they financed and supplied radical groups on the right to do their dirty deeds.
