Pretty sure our Police here in Aotearoa New Zealand still do. Lol. I think it's only the Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) who can carry arms on their person. Yep. Had to check. It says, in a locked cabinet but, odds on, that cabinet is in the boot (trunk, if you're American). Lol. Makes me proud. 😊 Can New Zealand police carry guns? Arms Act 1983, s 3(2)(ii) Yes, they can and they do, in their vehicles. New Zealand police officers are legally entitled to carry firearms, because the restrictions in the Arms Act that apply to the general public don’t apply to the police (in the same way that they don’t apply to the New Zealand military). Despite the popular perception that New Zealand has an unarmed police force, police policy and practice is for all police vehicles to carry firearms in locked cabinets. So while New Zealand police officers don’t carry firearms on their hip, they do all have firearms readily available to them, that they can usually access within seconds.

Not entirely sure why you or this channel are blaming the politicians. You know the Red Brigade kidnapped and shot him right?

[@Pantsinabucket]

You’re leaving out a key detail here, while P2 probably didn’t orchestrate it, they KNEW Moro would be kidnapped and purposefully avoided taking action. In 1975, Italian police would arrest a drug trafficker with a genuine British passport named Terrence William Abbott. At his arraignment, Abbott revealed that he was actually “Ali Khoury”, a Palestinian terrorist based out of Lebanon. Using this newly invented identity, “Ali Khoury” infiltrated the Red Brigades in prison and befriended Renato Curcio. He would go on to inform on the Red Brigades’ plans, primarily to Vito Miceli, a P2 member who was the former head of Italy’s intelligence services, who had been arrested for plotting a coup (this caused the 1977 reorganization of their intelligence services). Miceli by then had “cleared” his name and acquired a seat in Italy’s parliament, maintaining his P2 connections. “Ali Khoury” informed Miceli and the police of the Red Brigades’ plans to kill both the judge presiding over Curcio’s trial and Aldo Moro. Yet, the Italian government took no actions to protect them. Instead, Graziano Gori, the cop leading the investigation into “Ali Khoury”, would die in a suspicious hit-and-run car accident. So who was “Ali Khoury”? Well, at trial, Judge Giorgio Floridia would order his release on the grounds that he was a member of the American secret services, and exposed his real identity as Ronald Hadley Stark. Stark was a CIA agent infamous for being the world’s largest trafficker of LSD, the inventor of butane hash oil (dabs), and running a trafficking network stretching from California to Lebanon and further on to Afghanistan, being the primary fixer for the Brotherhood of Eternal Love until its collapse in 1973. Through his Brotherhood connections he had successfully infiltrated numerous leftist groups, trafficking rings, and Lebanese/Palestinian militias across the world. Coincidentally, the only newspaper worldwide to report on Stark’s 1985 “death” is La Repubblica, the same newspaper Aldo Moro holds up in his proof-of-life hostage photo. So yeah, the CIA and P2 knew this was going to happen, and chose to let it happen. I would agree with the Red Brigades’ own claims that they acted independently, but they also acted without real interference for a reason.

With Moro died the hope for a more righteous Italy and Europe. The "historic compromise" would have put the continent on the path of a stronger social approach to economics and politics. For those who may want a last laugh, the DC was brought down in 1992 by the biggest corruption scandal in the history of Italy and Giulio Andreotti (the then PM that condemned Moro in order to get his place as the sole playmaker) is widely considered one of the most shady politicians of the century. Oh and bonus nugget: you know who was a member of P2, years before becoming PM? Exactly: Silvio Berlusconi

[@noth606]

Well, I've lived in Italy long enough to know that it you want to get rid of corruption in politics there, you'll have to evacuate all of Rome and get rid of the pidgeons and street paving stones too.

As an italian it's really strange to find the tragedy of moro on international channel, in a certain way it can be seen how the vision change, in italy we still believe in some sort on underlying cospiracy about Moro's case, there are a lot of things you didn't touch on like, Andreotti who was corrupt (like offically known) and motivation to delay any rescue of moro, a strange "seance" in with an unknown sensitive pinpointed the hiding place of the culprits, like the one that was discovered after the fact, in "via Gradoli" there is also the story of Moro's wife who pleaded the police to check that street since it was an hot spot for the comunist extremist, a pleading that was confirmed by others wife's relatives, and the police stated that such a street was non existent many times and the wife made no plead. Strange things that don't add up, it's not a matter of if a cospiracy was really under all of it, it's more like a lot of little conspiracies converged to a single objective, firstly to allow the kidnapping and then to delay any help.

Something more to add, it seems also that high members of Democrazia Cristiana, Moro's party, knew where he was and decided not to save him. Raffaele Cutolo, one of the biggest Mafia bossess in Italy's history and creator of modern Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia, who had partial control over Rome too later said that some of his men working with the Banda della Magliana (a famous gang from Rome) had come to know where Moro was situated and said so to some region's high ranking members of Democrazia Cristiana that apparently gave him the cold shoulder about the news as if they had no interest in saving him. This was declared by him while in 41 bis (a special italian prison for Mafia and a few other things which is also attacked by many courts for being to harsh) we cannot know the truthfulness of his affirmations.

Must do: This is Serbia's JFK Mystery. The assassination of the Prime Minister of Serbia on March 12, 2003 at 12:25, in the courtyard of the Government of the Republic of Serbia building in Belgrade, has many associations with the JFK assassination, and the whole story is very interesting, both because of Zoran Đinđić himself, and because of various foreign secret services which operated and waged their wars on the territory of Serbia, sending messages to each other in their great geostrategic game. The break-up of Yugoslavia and the bombing of Serbia without the permission of the UN Security Council is a precedent that opened Pandora's box, which later developed into what we have today in the world, and the murder of Djindjic depicts the fate of leaders who decide to say no to dictates and decide to break relations with services that helped him to come to power and start leading the sovereign policy of his country.

2 interesting things to say: 1 it was really stupid for the red brigades to assassinate Moro. In the end it essentially achieved nothing. They could have done much more of an impact if they released Moro just after his letter when he denounced and resigned from the CD. 2 an interesting fact about the kidnapping and assassination of Moro is that various high ranking criminals from Rome’s criminal underground (the Magliana Gang) and from the Neapolitan Camorra (led by Raffaele Cutolo) testified in later unrelated cases that they were approached during the first days of the kidnapping by Italian Secret Service agents who asked them to find Moro. They also testified that they eventually found Moro but that the Secret Service “didn’t need the information anymore”. Those are of course words from criminals so take them with a pinch of salt. If they were telling the truth though then possibly the Secret Service and the government knew for a while where Moro was being kept but decided to do nothing.

[@theconqueringram5295]

I've heard of Aldo Moro and his death at the hands of the Red Brigades before, but I haven't studied it. It just seemed like very deep rabbit hole. That said, with all this explained, I have no doubt that Moro's assassination is shady. We might never understand the full story.

[@maxheadrom3088]

Aldo Moro wasn't a kingpin - he was the most respected politician in Italy at the time. He also has an important legal work on international relations. After WWII, the Communist Party elected almost half of Italy's parliament and eventually it was outlawed. That led to the creation of the Red Brigades who were responsible for bomb attacks that include the Bologna train station bombing that killed 81 people. Moro had proposed legalizing the Communist Party once again. What must be understood is that Aldo Moro was really the most respected Italian politician at the time - respected by all Italians - the police officer who found his body started to sob and weep when he identified the body. Moro's assassination destroyed the idea or legalizing the Communist Party and also completely annihilated the small support the Red Brigades had. Allan Framcovich's documentary series "Operation Gladio" - broadcated by the BBC - talks about the event. Framcovich made "In Company Business" and his films are about conspiracies by intelligence agencies (mainly the CIA) and though they have known inaccuracies he was an honest documentarist and in no way a cuckoo ideas spreader. There's a film released in 2003, "Bongiorno, Notte" directed by Marco Bellocchio (a communist activist at the time of Moros assassination) about the assassination.

I think the start of Europe/Sweden video is what really made it so great, the time,place, and a cliffhanger on an _only_ somewhat relevant detail. I’m glad you copied that.

If it was Italy’s JFK case, there would have been one disaffected lone ex military nut who shot three bullets. There’s no mystery in the JFK case. Oswald did it alone

Study the facts and you’ll see the truth.

[@billkeon880]

@@218philip I have studied them. I was a JFK conspiracy buff for 30 years. I bought and owned 24 conspiracy books including all the well known ones (Lane, Garrison, Lifton, Lamar/Waldron, Groden etc etc) and obscure ones as well as numerous documentaries. I bought Marrs in 1987 and that led me into it. I also own tons of books on US foreign policy and CIA dirty tricks by people like Chomsky and Parenting as well as ex CIA agents, Stockwell, Agee. I know ALL the conspiracy arguments. But in all those years I never once read any counter conspiracy book. Not a single one until 2017. There are many and they shred the conspiracy angle to pieces. It’s not even close. All the conspiracy arguments are based on suspicion and supposition in ‘holes’ in the official investigation. But the actual facts destroy conspiracy if you take the time to read them. I can give you a short list if you’d like. These conspiracy arguments mirror the same method and MO as the ones for anti-evolution, Area 51, chemtrails, anti-vax, flat earth and so many more.

Please, please, please, go and read Moro's farewell letter to his family, the last one he wrote in captivity, when he knew that he was about to be killed soon. You will soon forget all the political background and get a poignant glimpse of the tragedy he was going through, and will be surprised of how he still managed to find the most touching words of love for those he had to leave behind

lots of mentions of P2 as "very conservative" when the correct word is "fascist"

[@e-zombie]

Fascism includes some communist elements within its ideology they weren't fascist at all just far totalitarian right (im a fascist myself don't pair us with those cunts)

[@francesco3772]

Nah, fascism is an ideology, only riches and power were the aim of every P2 member, ideas are for poor fools like the vast majority of us.

Great story telling skills you have sir. Good job

[@Albanez39]

Italian film Il Divo about PM Giulio Andreotti can perhaps share some light on the dealing that went backstage in Italy at the time. How the Mafia, P2, Christian Democracy were all in bed together and all influenced the political landscape of cold War Italy

Very interesting and well done. I moved to Bologna not long after the train station there was blown up. Even then, the red brigade was spoken of in hushed terms but, l never knew the stories behind the murder of Aldo Moro. Trying to find out who was involved, would be like trying to find out which drop of the Mediterranean had come from which river.

[@clareomarfran]

The Red Brigades in Italy, like Baader-Meinhof group in Germany, were children grown up whose parents had been Nazis and Fascists, scorned losers of WWII. The politically active Germans and Italians in the vanguard of the Baby Boom (my generation) on the left tended to see too many remnants of Nazism and Fascism still in control in post-war government and industry. After the Age of Aquarius (late '60s) died, the '70s became revolution-for-the-hell-of-it time. In Japan and Latin America and with the Weather Underground in the USA, like their European counterparts, young educated middle class people thought they were going to change the world.

[@bladepeterson778]

I really adore the conclusion about Democracy working and why that made the far right and far left of Italy afraid! I've been liking this phase of videos about assassination's in liberal democracies like Sweden, Japan, and now Italy. I, as an American, haven't heard of these assassination's (except the one in Japan, being much more recent).

[@juliusraben3526]

And i was shocked to learn that a nuclear tipped missiled exploded in its silo (edit: in Damascus, Kansas) But on topic, Belgium was also fucking crazy around that time with CCC (communists) and "Bende van Nijvel" (suspected belgium intelligence people connected to gladio). Now i have to google what Japanese minister got murdered. I know Aum Shinrikyo did more with Sarin than just the subway.

It’s important to note that Moro was center left, the CD was split about half and half between the center right and the center left

[@sberiya2]

I have never seen something more misleading than this video. Claiming that the access of the PCI to the Italian government or that Eurocommunism sought to represent itself as "more moderate" is believing that the Communist "forces" (parties, movements, groups, etc) back then were a cohesive unit. It is far more correct to understand how different factions inside the Communist movement coexisted (there was a spectrum from the more radical factions to the moderate ones) and the context of every case. Saying that the movement of the PCI to the centre was just to moderate its image is simplistic at best.

[@DavidCurryFilms]

The film Il Divo touches briefly on Aldo Moro kidnapping, and the murder of Paolo Borsellino by the mafia. The protagonist is Giulio Andreotti (played by Tony Servillo) fascinating film.

What’s the USA’s JFK mystery?

[@brendandavison5437]

One thing that would have been nice if you had gone into more depth on was Operation Gladio, which kinda connected all of the actors you mentioned, but I see why you left that out, given its highly contested history, and even more convoluted than even this story. The show archer summed it up best as a "Crypto Fascist Sh*tshow starring Alan Dulles and a bunch of former Nazis.
