Noi con la P2 avevamo l'Italia in mano. Allora c'era l'Esercito, Guardia di Finanza, Polizia: erano nettamente comandate da tutta gente della loggia massonica P2. [...] Noi non abbiamo mai voluto attaccare e non si poteva attaccare, però eravamo una sentinella perché non emergesse il Partito Comunista.

With P2 we had Italy in our hands. Then there was the Army, Financial Police, Police: they were clearly commanded by all people from the P2 Masonic lodge. [...] We never wanted to attack and we couldn't attack, but we were a sentinel to prevent the Communist Party from emerging.

[giornalista:] delle stragi che ci dice? le avevo chiesto chi c'è dietro le stragi. [Gelli:] ma delle stragi, vede, ci sono sempre state queste qui. E sempre ci saranno. Eh sì, perché non c'è ordine. E anche negli ultimi tempi, perché nei primi tempi stragi non ce ne sono state. Sono avvenute eventualmente dopo il '60; prima del '60 non se ne sono mai verificate. È del '60: e perché parlo del '60? Perché nel '60 c'era ancora una certa condizione che il popolo era uscito da una dittatura del fascismo -chiamatela dittatura del fascismo- e il popolo aveva abituato a lavorare e doveva andare a lavorare perché se no sarebbero stati puniti e non avrebbero dovuto scioperare perché con lo sciopero non è che si produce; lo sciopero impoverisce.

[journalist:] what can you tell us about the carnages? I asked her who is behind the carnages. [Gelli:] but you see, there have always been these massacres here. And there always will be. Oh yes, because there is no order. And also in recent times, because in the early days there were no massacres. They possibly took place after '60; before 1960 they never occurred. It's from the '60s: and why am I talking about the '60s? Because in 1960 there was still a certain condition that the people had emerged from a dictatorship of fascism - call it the dictatorship of fascism - and the people had gotten used to working and had to go to work because otherwise they would have been punished and wouldn't have had to go on strike because with the strike it is not that it occurs; the strike makes people more poor.

[About the P2] My Plan of Democratic Rebirth? I see that 20 years later this Bicameral [the D'Alema Bicameral Parliament Commission] is copying it piece by piece, with the Boato draft. Better late than never. They should at least give me the copyright.
