Association Freemasons - Shaping Society: Masonic Terrorism
John McCone and William Casey were both Malta members and directors of the CIA, along with President Ronald Reagan’s first secretary of state Alexander Haig. All were connected to fellow Malta member Licio Gelli, who in the 1980s turned an Italian Masonic lodge into what became labeled as “the world-wide fascist conspiracy” that was known to have assistance from the Italian Mafia, members of the Vatican Bank and the CIA.
The Knights of Malta is a Masonic order called Propaganda Masonica Due also known as P-2 Freemasonry and was officially founded as Propaganda Masonica Due in Italy in 1877 to serve Italian Freemasons visiting Rome. Licio Gelli became a Freemason in 1963 and gained control over a P-2 lodge by 1966 and increased the membership of the group from 14 to nearly 1000.
In 1981 Italian authorities discovered the P-2 plan and searched Gelli’s home. There they found a list of the Masonic conspirators’ names, which included 3 cabinet ministers, 40 members of parliament, 43 military generals, 8 admirals along with security chiefs, the police chiefs of 4 major districts, industrialist, financers, entertainment celebrities, 24 journalist and hundreds of diplomats and civil servants.
A document titled “the strategy to tension” was also found and was a detailed plan to fabricate so much terrorism that the Italian people would demand a government lockdown and support a martial law under a fascist’s government.
The plan in fact evolved from another operation titled “Gladio” which was created just after World War Two by a CIA official named James Jesus Angleton, supposedly in an effort to prevent a communist takeover in Italy. Project Gladio’s tactics involved creating alliances between the mafia and Vatican officials along with the CIA and Knights of Malta.
The P-2 lodge had been implicated in several acts of terrorism such as the 1980 bombing of the Bologna train station, which left 85 people dead. The 1983 bombing of Pan-Am flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland, which according to a minor publicized report made by the investigators of the airlines insurance company states that some of the victims of the Pan-Am flight were CIA officers on their way to Washington to report their discovery of other CIA members that were involved with drug and gun smuggling operations in the middle-east and that financing was coming from members of P-2 Freemasonry. According to reports CIA members were also the first to arrive at the crash site and reportedly vital evidence to the case had been lost.
During the trials in Italy following the 1981 incidents involving P-2 members, the name Giulio Andreotti came up frequently. Giulio Andreotti had been the Italian Prime Minister who had been known to have close connections to secret societies in the United States and was a close friend of Licio Gelli, whom had already been tried for mafia involvement. During Andreotti’s trial Henry Kissinger was a major character witness in his defense.
Previous to Giulio Andreotti becoming Prime Minister, the former Prime Minister of Italy Aldo Moro had been kidnapped and murdered, reportedly by Red Brigade in 1978. His wife later testified that Moro had been told by Henry Kissinger to halt his stabilizing policies or and she quoted “you will pay dearly for it”.
Michele Sindona and Roberto Calvi were also two important members of the P-2 lodge and were both involved in a number of questionable business deals with a man named Markcinkus the American catholic bishop in charge of the Vatican bank at the time.
Markcinkus and the Vatican bank had become major shareholders in the Banco Ambrosiano which was owned by Sindona and his partner Calvi who was given the nickname “God’s banker”. In 1982 when news of the deal was leaked Calvi was convicted but fled to London, where he was found hanged underneath Black friars Bridge. A few hours earlier Calvi’s secretary Graziella Corrocher, whom was also the P-2 lodge bookkeeper fell or possibly was pushed through a 4th floor window in the Ambrosiano bank building. In 1986 Sindona and his accomplices were convicted of ordering the death of Giorgio Ambrosoli, who was an estate liquidator that had been shot in 1979 after he found evidence of criminal activity in Sindona’s papers while working in Sindona’s home. Two days after Sindona was sentenced to life in prison he was found dead by cyanide poisoning in his cell. Markcinkus however left the Vatican and went into retirement. New York D.A. lawyer Frank Hogan who had prosecuted many Mafioso’s associated with the P-2 scandal had also tried to prosecute Markcinkus but was blocked by the White House.

According to Louise I. Shelley, Director of the Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center at American University,
"Transnational crime will be a defining issue of the 21st century for policymakers - as defining as the Cold War was for the 20th century and colonialism was for the 19th. Terrorists and transnational crime groups will proliferate because these crime groups are major beneficiaries of globalization. They take advantage of increased travel, trade, rapid money movements, telecommunications and computer links, and are well positioned for growth."
Transnational organized crime can undermine democracy, disrupt free markets, drain national assets, and inhibit the development of stable societies. In doing so, it has been argued that national and international criminal groups threaten the security of all nations.
Kenneth James Noye is a British criminal who was convicted of the 1996 murder of Stephen Cameron. Noye was involved in laundering the proceeds of the Brinks Mat robbery in 1983. While he was being investigated for his part in the robbery, he stabbed to death police officer John Fordham who was observing Noye from the grounds of his home. Noye was acquitted of murder on the grounds of self-defence, but was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 1986 for handling stolen gold. He was released from prison in 1994, having served 8 years of his sentence. Two years later, in 1996, Noye became involved in an altercation with 21-year-old motorist Stephen Cameron on the M25 motorway during what was described at the time as a road rage incident, but has also been suggested to have been dispute over a drug deal, Cameron being a small-time drug dealer who owed Noye money. It however suited the purposes of both the prosecution and the defence to not mention this during the trial. During the fight, Noye stabbed and killed Cameron with a knife. Noye immediately fled the country, sparking a massive police hunt. In 1998 he was tracked down in Spain, and Cameron's 17-year old girlfriend Danielle Cable, who had witnessed the killing, was secretly flown out to positively identify him. Despite the obvious risks involved, she opted to testify against Noye, who at his trial in 2000 again pleaded self-defence. This time found guilty, he was convicted of murder and given a life sentence. Cable was given a new identity under the witness protection program, having been praised by police for her courage in giving evidence in the presence of Noye and his associates. Another eyewitness, Alan Decabral, declined protection and was shot dead in his car in Ashford, Kent on the 5th of October 2000. However, police sources stated that he was involved in drug and gun-smuggling, and that his death was detrimental to Noye's forthcoming appeal, which would have concentrated on discrediting him. Noye had been a police informant for many years, and he was also a freemason, a member of the Hammersmith Lodge in London.
