... does anyone have any comment / sources on this reading of 1968
as a CIA proxy organisation?

this seems to be a suspicion better grounded in the times in which
the original article was written (1988): cold war-era, but also with
some knowledge of US operations in italy, and elsewhere in western
europe, during the 1970s.
