How the Anglo-Saxon axis plays with our Southern European- Mediterranean fates

Just please think and look and what it really means our reality in Spain. We are moved like puppets by the north-anglo-saxon axis be that UK, Germany, or USA including France. The aim is always to stop anti-capitalism, the Left of any sort or ways, and any opposition to the established old order in danger. Be that too much Liberalism, Socialism ( no communism even if that was the case 100 years ago) and so on. Today we know via Graig Murray how the horrific mad party Ciudadanos in Spain lead by a narcissist couple of cute kids him (a cocaine addict and her a super agent provocateur for the right-wing) is in fact an "astroturf" generated between Merkel's and MI6 UK just t stop the "momentum" of Podemos and the growing numbers of Leftist. Then Catalan crisis came too, so great! One for the anti-separatist 100% Monarchy committed rightwing secret services. Clearer could not be. 

The news was 10 years ago and now let's get to work....



Mussolini worked for MI5 agents



Mussolini was working as a journalist when paid by the British


Benito Mussolini may be among history's most notorious fascist dictators, but evidence suggests he worked for British secret services during World War I.

Historian Dr Peter Martland says MI5 records show it paid "Il Duce" £100 per week, about £5,000 today,to spread pro-war propaganda via his newspaper.

The Cambridge University academic made the discovery while studying the papers of former agent Sir Samuel Hoare MP.

However, Dr Martland believes Mussolini probably spent the cash on womanising.

"Mussolini was the ace womaniser and of course, he's spent most of it on his women," he suggests.

Dr Martland said the payments were agreed in 1917, after Russia collapsed into the Bolshevik revolution and Italy was "smashed" at the Battle of Caporetto.
 

"It's good value for money - he was what the British needed"

Fearing the war would be lost, Britain sent a team of 100 intelligence officers to Italy to "stiffen the backbone" of its industrial working classes, he said.

"These poor people are suffering in exactly the same way as the British working classes are; hyperinflation, food shortages and a press that is not necessarily pro-war," he said.

Mussolini's socialist publication, Il Popolo d'Italia, carried a key voice because it served the factory workers of Milan whose output was essential for the war effort, Dr Martland said.

The tale came to light as the historian pored over 40,000 documents belonging to Sir Samuel.

A prominent Conservative, Sir Samuel would go on to become foreign secretary almost two decades later and in 1935 signed the pact that would give Mussolini - by then a bloody dictator - control over Abyssinia, the country that is now Ethiopia.

But back in 1917, said Dr Martland, the UK was pouring £4m per day into the war, so the sum paid to Mussolini was "petty cash".

"It works. It's good value for money. At that point he was what the British needed," said Dr Martland.

As for Il Duce's conversion from journalist to brutal fascist - "pure opportunism", the academic concluded.
