In the book "Rule by Secrecy" by Jim Marris, Gelli was a business partner of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, a financial backer of Juan Peron of Argentina, a paid CIA contact and an honored guest at Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential inauguration. The book described Gelli's friendly term with the then-CIA Director George Bush. This Conspiracy Theory claimed P2 involvement with bombings including, the Pan Am Flight 103, and Italian PM Aldo Moro's murder among other things.


The validity of names found in Gelli's list is a subject of contention. The issue was that names listed on Gelli's rolodex do not mean someone as a member of P2. What the Italian authorities were concerned of and leads to the downfall of the Government was the that the names of the "Masonic conspirators" includes, cabinet members, members of the Parliament, generals, admirals, police chiefs, journalist, diplomats and civil servants. The issue was that P2 was a structure or a state within the state that could subvert the present and legally constituted government. It is important to note that the way P2 operates was not how the regular Lodge does it business i.e. they wore black apron. The members do not know each other as they are hooded ala- Klu Klux Klan during their assembly. Conspiracy authors believed that the P2's creation, methods, aims and existence is happening not only in UK, US and many other countries. The idea of Freemasons conspiring and/or contesting with other group such as CFR, Bilderbergers, Priory of Scion, etc… for establishment of the New World Order is ludicrous but a juicy subject for anti-Masons.


This is a classic case of charismatic leaders who manage to enticed members of a group with similar beliefs and took advantage of it for his own purpose. We could substitute Gelli's name with others well and less known villains and saints alike in our history.
