The International Syndicate: How the West Manufactures Enemies, Wars, and Control (Part 2/5)
At the center of the chaos is a cellular command structure made up of NATO, the CIA, MI6, Mossad, and the Vatican. Meet the five pillars of the global syndicate that manipulates everything.
Previously in Part 1: The Machine Behind the Curtain
We exposed the blueprint for a hidden global system—the International Syndicate—a transnational alliance of intelligence agencies, military contractors, covert financiers, and media manipulators.
Using Operation Gladio as its prototype, the Syndicate built a self-funding machine of control. It trafficked not just weapons and drugs, but fear itself—using false flag attacks, psychological warfare, and manufactured enemies to keep governments compliant and populations docile.
This isn’t just history. It’s infrastructure.
And it didn’t end with the Cold War. It expanded.
In Part 2, we step deeper into the core—the hub of the wheel—to reveal how NATO, the CIA, MI6, Mossad, and the Vatican don’t just react to global events…
They engineer them.
Part 2: The Hub – Who’s Really in Control?
At the center of the wheel is the hub—but don’t picture a boardroom or a military command post.
This is not a hierarchy. It’s a cellular command structure—resilient, adaptive, and decentralized, like an immune system. When one part is exposed or disabled, another absorbs its function.
It doesn’t need flags or titles.
It doesn’t need your permission.
It only needs access, resources, and deniability.
And it has all three.
The International Syndicate: Five Pillars of Power
Colonel Towner-Watkins identifies five core entities at the heart of the hub:
NATO – The umbrella of legitimacy
CIA – The architects of chaos
MI6 – The imperial hand in the shadows
Mossad – The surgical strike and surveillance state
The Vatican – The sanctified bankers and ideological shield
Together, they form a self-sustaining ecosystem—a syndicate that funds, protects, and multiplies itself through global operations.
Let’s break it down.
NATO, CIA, and MI6: The Strategic Triangle
Their alliance is older than most regimes. And it’s far more durable.
NATO provides the framework and cover. Through its Clandestine Planning Committee (CPC) and Allied Clandestine Committee (ACC), it coordinates black operations between allied intelligence units—assigning targets, approving assassinations, and directing stay-behind networks across Europe and beyond.
CIA serves as the nerve center. It doesn’t just run coups—it scripts them, funds them, and sells them to the public as democratic reforms. From Iran in 1953 to Ukraine in 2014, it has engineered collapses, propped up dictators, and laundered billions in black funds to maintain the wheel.
MI6 is the British brain trust—old empire tactics modernized for postwar imperialism. It operates fluidly with CIA assets, often embedded in corporate boards, NGOs, or media conglomerates. Think less "spy" and more corporate sabotage with sovereign immunity.

Mossad: Precision, Penetration, and Plausible Deniability
Small but lethal, Mossad plays a critical role in the hub.
It brings two unmatched assets to the table:
Elite covert units, and
Next-gen surveillance technology
Unit 8200: The Digital Dominator
Often called “Israel’s NSA”, Unit 8200 is leaner, faster, and deeply integrated with Western intelligence—particularly NSA, GCHQ, and Five Eyes.
Its work underpins:
Global surveillance dragnets
Social media manipulation
Advanced cyberwarfare
It also collaborates with private intel firms like NSO Group, whose spyware (like Pegasus) has been used on journalists, activists, and even heads of state.
Sayeret Matkal: The Global Scalpel
This is Israel’s elite special forces, known for:
The Entebbe Raid
Targeted assassinations
Disguised cross-border incursions
They’ve worked side-by-side with CIA paramilitary units and MI6 black teams, acting as muscle when deniability is essential.
The Vatican: The Cloak of God and Gold
If NATO is the shield and the CIA is the sword, the Vatican is the cloak—and the bank vault.
It might sound like the setup to a Dan Brown novel, but this isn’t fiction. It’s fact—confirmed through investigations, court records, and declassified documents. The Vatican has long played a hidden role in global covert operations, not just as a moral shield, but as a financial engine.
Its infamous bank—the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR)—operates in total secrecy, beyond Italian law and beyond scrutiny. Through it, a global web of covert funding has quietly moved billions—from Gladio-era terror budgets to Cold War junta slush funds.
And it’s not just about money.
Throughout Latin America and postwar Europe, Catholic missions, orphanages, and church networks were used to hide agents, move weapons, and recruit assets—often under the cover of aid and evangelism.
This wasn’t charity.
It was logistics.
It was ideology.
It was enforcement—sanctified.
We’ll dive into the names, tactics, and blood money in Part 3.
For now, remember this: black ops require clean fronts. And nothing looks cleaner than the Church.
Hydra, Not Hierarchy
Together, these five forces form the command-and-control lattice of the International Syndicate.
They don’t report to one flag.
They report to one function:
Preserve the wheel. Protect the pattern. Profit from chaos.
It’s not a top-down structure. It’s transnational, cellular, and modular. That’s what makes it so powerful—and so hard to expose.
When the hub issues orders, the spokes spin.
And what comes out the other side?
A world of conflict, fear, and instability—where the public sees enemies, but never sees the real enemy behind the curtain.

It exposes over 70 years of regime change, covert wars, and manufactured revolutions—with names, operations, and outcomes you've never been taught.
What happens when the wheel starts turning?
You’ve seen the hub—where the world’s most powerful intelligence, financial, and ideological forces merge. But power doesn’t just sit still.
It moves. It multiplies. It metastasizes.
In Part 3, we follow the spokes—the self-funding black operations that turn chaos into capital and terror into empire. From heroin routes and weapons pipelines to human trafficking and false flag terror, this is how the Syndicate funds itself without a single dollar of oversight.
You’ve seen who’s in charge.
Now see how they pay for it.

FAQ
1. What exactly is "The Hub" of the International Syndicate?
The Hub is the core command structure of the International Syndicate. But it’s not a traditional hierarchy—it’s a decentralized, cellular network made up of NATO, the CIA, MI6, Mossad, and the Vatican. Together, they form a transnational shadow government that coordinates covert warfare, destabilization campaigns, and global manipulation behind a veil of legitimacy.
2. How does NATO fit into this secret structure?
NATO provides institutional cover. Through its Clandestine Planning Committee (CPC) and Allied Clandestine Committee (ACC), it coordinates stay-behind armies, approves black ops, and enables intelligence collaboration under the guise of defense and democracy. NATO makes the Syndicate's actions look official—even when they’re deeply illegal.
3. Why is the Vatican part of a black ops syndicate?
The Vatican offers two essential resources: moral cover and financial infrastructure. Its global network of orphanages, missions, and “aid organizations” has long been used to move agents, launder money, and hide operations. The Vatican Bank (IOR) operates in secrecy and has been implicated in laundering funds for CIA operations, Latin American death squads, and even the Mafia.
4. What role does Mossad play?
Mossad acts as the Syndicate’s scalpel—executing high-precision strikes and cyber warfare operations. It brings elite assassination teams like Sayeret Matkal and cutting-edge surveillance units like Unit 8200, often collaborating with CIA and MI6 assets when discretion or advanced tech is needed.
5. Isn’t this just Cold War history? Is it still happening today?
It never stopped. The structure evolved. Today, you see it in color revolutions, regime-change wars, mass surveillance, NGO infiltration, and intelligence-linked tech firms like NSO Group. The same forces that built Gladio now operate globally—under new names, but with the same function: perpetual control through engineered crisis.
