Strategy of Tension
Aginter Press took part in Italy's strategy of tension, a campaign of false flag bombings and an attempted coup d'état organised by the Italian neo-fascists with support from Propaganda Due (P2) and Gladio, NATO's stay-behind anti-communist networks during the Cold War.
This agency is alleged to have carried out work for various right-wing authoritarian regimes (including Salazar, Franquist Spain, the Greek Regime of the Colonels after the 1967 putsch, etc.) Its agents worked under the cover of reporters or photographers, which allowed them to travel freely.

Famous quotes containing the words strategy and/or tension:
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
“The Battle of Waterloo is a work of art with tension and drama with its unceasing change from hope to fear and back again, change which suddenly dissolves into a moment of extreme catastrophe, a model tragedy because the fate of Europe was determined within this individual fate.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
