Supranational deep state evolution

The 1980s was an important decade in the evolution of the supranational deep state, since is saw the end of the Cold War separation of the world into two camps, raising the hopes of a "peace dividend" and a less militarised world. "Terrorism", especially "Islamic terrorism" was promoted as an enemy image to help to reposition the MICC.

End of the Soviet Empire

The dissolution of the USSR lead to an end to the cold war. After brief talk of a 'peace dividend', the military industrial complex was to work though the 1990s, promoting the "war on terrorism" narrative prepared at the 1979 Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism. A 1984 conference in Washington had assisted in the global implementation of this plan.

Privatisation

Full article: Privatisation

The 1980s was an important decade for the economic project of privatising public organisations. Ronald Reagan as US President and Margaret Thatcher as UK Prime Minister were important figures in this regard.

Tianenman Square

Chinese students, inspired by the collapse of communist governments in Eastern Europe, tried to wrest control from the old communist leaders, massing in tens of thousands.

US deep state

Full article: US deep state

By the 1980s, the CIA had over 30 years of experience at controlling the corporate media, and had a wealth of experience at using it. The Watergate Coup, for example, even today is generally dubbed the "Watergate Scandal", obscuring its true identity. Similarly, the name "Iran-Contra" omits any reference to the drug running component. What purported to be a congressional investigation was equally tightly controlled. Gorton suggests that it was a limited hangout designed to implicate Ronald Reagan. In any case, Bush's infamous claim to have been "out of the loop" went unquestioned by Cabal member Dick Cheney. Al Martin, the most senior Enterprise whistleblower, reports that when the upper echelons of The Cabal decided to wind up The Enterprise, they insulated themselves from exposure by killing hundreds of mid-level group members.

The Enterprise

Full article: Stub class article The Enterprise

After the October Surprise Conspiracy thwarted Jimmy Carter's aspirations for a second term, George H. W. Bush, leader of "the enterprise" became US Vice President in January 1981. He then, as Mark Gorton describeds in Fifty Years of the Deep State, "embarked on a massive criminal romp.”[2]

Exposure

Le Cercle received its first serious exposure in 1982 when Hans Langemann, a BND officer leaked the Langemann Papers. The first published internal documents of the group, which had been active since the early 1950s, revealed that the group were promoting right wing governments across Europe.

Exposure of Operation Gladio

Full article: Rated 5/5 Operation Gladio
The Red Brigades were charged with a number of acts of "terrorism" in Italy up to 1988. They were at least partly controlled by Operation Gladio.

Operation Gladio killed European civilians throughout the 1980s, with false flag attacks such as the 1980 Bologna massacre. This lead to the exposure of Operation Gladio in Italy.

Le Cercle“can be seen to be an international coalition of right-wing intelligence veterans, propaganda assets and top politicians who would shape the 1970s and 1980s.”David Teacher2008
Manuel Noriega“He was a pawn in an international game that was way bigger than him and he certainly paid dearly," said Barbara Trent, a filmmaker who directed "The Panama Deception," a 1992 documentary about the U.S. invasion.

"He was a small-time player catapulted to international fame by the U.S. government and the media to drum up support for a ruthless invasion," Trent added. Working with the CIA Noriega ruled Panama from 1983 to 1989. Before and during that time, he worked with multiple U.S. intelligence agencies who agreed to ignore allegations that he was a drug trafficker in exchange for a staunch anti-communist ally in Central America during the height of the Cold War. Noriega was paid handsomely for his help, about $10,000 per month at one point, according to John Dinges, author of "Our Man in Panama: How General Noriega Used the United States and Made Millions in Drugs and Arms (1990)."

"The relationship with the CIA and the Pentagon was quite intense in the early '80s," Dinges told ABC News. "He was considered an important asset, and everyone in the documents I've read spoke very highly of him. He was trusted to the extent that you trust someone who is a paid intelligence asset.”
