Propaganda Due: Unveiling the Real P2 Conspiracy

The source material consists of excerpts from a lengthy Italian podcast interview featuring a former Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy, Giuliano Di Bernardo, who presents a revisionist history of the P2 Masonic Lodge. Di Bernardo challenges the common narrative that P2 was a "deviated" criminal organization acting independently, arguing instead that it was a legitimate, powerful entity created and restructured by the Grand Orient of Italy's Grand Masters at the behest of the American government and the CIA to combat communism. He supports his claims with purported internal masonic documents detailing the transfer of power to Licio Gelli and the P2's role in major Italian events like the Bologna station bombing and the reorganization of organized crime. The discussion also touches upon contemporary Italian politics and the country's historical subservience to American geopolitical interests.
