The Cold War was a crazy time: in the global confrontations involved cunning penguins and mighty polar bears, giant flocks of walruses and innumerable armada of whales, killer seals and albatrosses …
Impossible, speak?
Well, the cold war was a period of sharp geopolitical tensions between the two superpowers that expressed mainly through political maneuvers and creating indirect threats. Boredom, right? Let’s better consider the most effective ways to kill a penguin naked hands. First you need to grab the penguin with arms higher and lower beak, and then with an energetic twisting movement …
Or maybe listen to the story of five crazy stories Cold War era, concerning shadow governments, scientific centers in ice and nuclear weapons?
1. Underground nuclear city in the ice

Sometimes a real story can beat science fiction. How do you like this fact – the United States of America had a small an underground city at the North Pole called Kemp Century, very reminiscent of the rebel base on the planet Hot from Star wars. ”

It all started in 1959, with the construction research station a few hundred meters under one of the icebergs in Greenland. From the side, she looked like sinister-looking snowy pyramid. But, going deep, the complex reached enormous proportions.
An underground nuclear reactor served as the energy source, and the headcount reached two hundred. It was a real city with gyms, chapels, libraries, hobby shops and even with a movie theater. Although why watch a movie, if you live like that, like in a science fiction movie?
However, as is always the case with cool stuff, warriors soon appropriated scientific property to use in their goals. On this occasion, the money of the military was even withdrawn quite convincing and completely uncluttered propaganda documentary film.
Let’s go over the facts again: the United States had nuclear research station at which 200 people lived. It was built right in the North Glacier. poles, and one of its main tasks was the drilling of harsh ancient ice to the maximum depth. Well, what have you not started for hellish horror movie?
After the military arrived, Kemp Century was converted into rocket bunker in the ice. According to military plans, here it was supposed to store about six hundred nuclear missiles – sort of a modest nuclear bungalow near the side of the USSR. Fortunately for Russia (yes and the Americans themselves), technical problems led to curtailing project. Maintaining the tunnels in good condition turned out to be difficult task (monthly had to remove 120 tons of ice) and in For ten years, the object was buried under the ice.
So there’s no way to play hide and seek – a bummer, comrades, we apologize.
2. Italian Freemasons Select President U.S.A

The Duo Propaganda, or P2, was the lodge of the Freemasons which reporters described as a “shadow government.” Them the original goal was the fight against communism in Italy, but not worry – it’s just a beautiful story invented to give nobility of origin. In a couple of sentences you can make sure that this organization is harmful.
The long list of influential P2 members included, among others, and Silvio Berlusconi, also known as the former eccentric Prime Minister of Italy. And these are not idle conjectures conspiracy theorists or Internet vigilante – Berlusconi denied membership in the court, but after his lie was revealed, no longer hid this fact.
As for the “shadow” aspect of our history, the only a reliable source of information was the 1981 investigation in Italy, during which it was found that P2 launched its tentacles not only to parliament but also to the military and the press. P2’s involvement in the killings has also been established, abductions and arms trafficking. The list included about a thousand Of names, most are prominent politicians. The start is impressive is not it? But where is the major villainy – large-scale shadow operation confirming their power on a global level? Or at the worst, stylish leather gloves with purple ascot ties (considering national specifics)?
We think the election of the US president is quite appropriate example.
It all started with Billy Carter – a fun and silly brother Jimmy Carter, who took a loan of 220 thousand dollars from Libya. Libya then it was considered a country as a whole strange, if not hostile. Of course, a scandal erupted, but about a short The attention spans of the policy were not revealed yesterday: as it happened a few months before the election, by November most voters safely forgot about the ill-fated embarrassment.
P2 wanted Reagan to win (because he has such insightful look and a magnificent hairdress). For this were liaises with several major journalist journalists “The New Republic” who were supposed to publish a new story – already during the election. Reporters wrote that Billy is not only took another 50 thousand dollars from Libya, but also spent the other day meeting with the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which considered to be terrorist in America to this day. And all this is all two weeks before the election. Billy and the others involved in the scandal, strongly denied guilt (Senate investigation several years later refute the publication), but the dirty trick worked. Reagan won in all states except six, most likely – thanks the backstage intrigues of the Italian “shadow government.”
The numbers speak for themselves:

You can see a lot of slight fluctuations in the graphs of two main candidates, as it should be in the elections. But look at the very end: two weeks after scandalous publications rating Reagan rushed up! This is the biggest change in everything. throughout the schedule. Although, given Carter’s charisma, Reagan could and no secret manipulations are needed – who will vote for human turtle?

Everyone who did not skip history at school knows about the Caribbean the crisis. Those who still skipped, briefly recall: fearing American invasion (and not unfounded), Cuba asked Russia nuclear weapons so that there is something to answer in case of an attack. Russia with pleasure agreed. The United States took offense and imposed a blockade on Cuba. However, at the last crucial moment before the Russian nuclear disaster and the USA managed to reach a peace agreement. USSR agreed to the withdrawal of missiles from Cuba, subject to the dismantling of American missiles in Turkey and Italy.
But what you didn’t know for sure was that the exact amount America failed to establish deployed missiles. After The Caribbean crisis was officially “over”, in Russia in Cuba there were still a hundred nuclear missiles left. Since the United States did not know about them, then these missiles were not included in the treaty, and therefore, Russia is quite legally could pass them to the Cubans. But the Soviet leaders arrived to Cuba to settle details, found that Castro was frostbitten during whole head. During previous negotiations, Cuba’s position was ignored completely. Accordingly, on the basis of the “syndrome Napoleon “the Cubans developed a certain nervousness.
The Russians decided that Cuba’s missile transfer would be high probability signify the start of World War III. Thus, they did what politicians always do — they lied from three boxes. They told Castro that Russian secret law forbids transfer missiles to Cuba forever, and the global nuclear conflict was prevented.
This time – for real.
4. State terrorism of France against … hippie?

In 1985, the French government had a problem. His desperately needed to conduct nuclear tests in the atoll Mururoa, however, the stupid Greenpeace with his stupid “ships” and idiotic “protests” in defense of the ridiculous “the integrity of the living environment.” Here are the torn hippies, huh? The situation was complicated by the fact that the landfill was part-time French colony, showing signs of rebellion, so the French didn’t want to show weakness that could direct them discontent … of the French. After weighing all the pros and cons, they accepted a decision that in their place would have been made by any other reasonable the country. They decided to blow up the Rainbow Warrior – a ship full of hippies and love to scare or distract the Greenpeace and win time for nuclear testing.
The operation received the uncharacteristic name “Satanique”, which would originally hinted by the performers of the viciousness of their plans. When “Rainbow Warrior” moored on the shores of New Zealand for another tactical relaxation, operation “Satanique” has begun! Plan consisted of driving the entire crew off the ship with an explosion a small bomb, after which the second larger bomb should have been let the ship sink. Everything went like clockwork!
Except for a couple of nonsense.
The Rainbow Warrior team returned to the sailboat to appreciate damage – two shells do not fall into one funnel. But the funnels funnels, and one ship in New Zealand “lucky” to explode two times in a row. At the same time, a second explosion injured several people and took the life of a photographer – Fernando Pereiro.
Seeing that the plan for “breaking off the hippie seafarers” turned into “an act of international terrorism,” the French began frantically get their agents out of New Zealand. However two French spies participating in the operation were detained and interrogated. The truth was soon made public, for the French spies turned out to be extremely weak. The consequence turned out to be quite expected: the French president publicly apologized, Minister of Defense resigned shamefully; Greenpeace received mountain money, and France suspended terrible trials …
And resumed them ten years later, blowing up the devil in the same place he knows how many megatons. Well, what did you expect from those who call their special operations are “satanic”?
5. Secret private armies that ruled Europe

After the Second World War, the United States faced a number of problems. The war claimed many lives, countries fell apart, new ones appeared borders. Europe has basically turned into a very mouth-watering slice civilization, which the USSR eagerly reached for. Therefore, the United States developed Operation Gladio. Simply put, a secret was created paramilitary education acting informally throughout Europe for the sole purpose is to fight communism. No facts a lot (the army was still secret), but this one is clearly not another crazy theory: the existence of “Gladio” was confirmed by several governments. On the account of this organization atrocities such as the attempted murder of the Pope, big bangs and abductions of several senior government officials. They were ready for anything in the name of struggle with communism: to killings, extortion. They could even themselves to become communists, if necessary for the cause.
Again, the Italian branch of Gladio (which not surprising, because it was they who gave birth to Machiavelli and the game “Assasins’s Creed “). He was even completely involved in covert activities Italian President Indifferent to the Fight against Communists – Francesco Kossiga. What? All normal presidents did that! Or should reply: “Thank you for your trust, guys from the secret military organization, but I probably pass? ”
Such an answer, in all likelihood, would not be very far-sighted. For the reason we still know so little o “Gladio” is a bloody kaleidoscope of murders.
When another Italian president – Aldo Moro gave the communists the opportunity to enter the government, he was suddenly abducted and executed. His body was found in the trunk of a car, parked next to the former gladiatorial venue fights. The word “gladio” – comes from the name of the ancient Roman a short sword often used by gladiators fighting in the arena. A month after the former colonel, commander of operations “Gladio” in Switzerland, wrote government letter of readiness to “tell the whole story the truth, “he was found dead in his house. He was stabbed to death own bayonet, and on his chest were mysterious letters that failed to decrypt.
At the moment, admittedly, there are no direct evidence pointing to Gladio’s direct involvement in anything no matter what. There are only a few brutal murders and gloomy events. And the fear generated by them, which is like a sticky web keeps researchers from any further steps.
And, actually, who needs it?
