Of course we can't make the generalization that all terrorism is created by controlling interests & powers behind governments just like we can't say that all terrorism is created by a misguided sense of injustice or religious fervor. What we can do is investigate to what degree these controlling interests manipulate the populace to incite acts of violence for their own agendas.
"Operation Gladio is undisputed historical fact. Gladio was part of a post-World War II program set up by the CIA and NATO supposedly to thwart future Soviet/communist invasions or influence in Italy and Western Europe. In fact, it became a state-sponsored right-wing terrorist network, involved in false flag operations and the subversion of democracy."
Those state sponsored terrorist networks caused the deaths of innocent civilians to fulfill a political agenda & that sponsorship came from within our own government.

Veterans Today goes on to say:
"Any serious effort by any investigative journalist who tries to report in the Mainstream Media that mind-control is the missing link in all world terrorism and mass-shootings (which just happen to occur in gun-free zones) is quickly neutralized."

That maybe be a little too inclusive to be completely accurate but they make a point that requires more investigation if we wish to understand the true source.
According to CIA Officer Kevin Shipp, the Council On Foreign Relations which is a non-government organization, created the CIA.

A better understanding of the CFR's objectives might give us a better understanding of why they may wish to encourage civil unrest.
"Here’s what he said about the United States – remember he was an historian and a philosopher to an extent, HEAVILY involved in the world government scenario and gave speeches across the planet back in the ‘30s and even before that – he was talking about how the U.S. was set up to take over from Britain as the policeman of the WORLD to bring in the world system, the world government - and he talked about how it would FALTER, just like Rome, and rise for a while and appear to be all conquering, and then fall again and then rise once more, each one is like a smaller wave until it would just fall apart within. He said, “The U.S. will set a record in the rate of rise and fall of an empire. Between wide open boarders and the fall of the dollar, and the growing population against the declining resource base, it will be defeated from within. Mobs will rule the streets in the nation that is now the third largest in the world, and unable to support its population except by taking resources from other countries.” That comes from a guy who was up there with the Royal Institute of International Affairs, The Council on Foreign Relations, The Cecil Rhodes Foundations, The Lord Milner Group, the big boys that really run the show for world government."

Arnold J. Toynbee gave this speech at All Souls College in 1962. Though he was talking specifically about the US, the same strategy applies to all of western civilization which will become clear. Toynbee was a major influence on the Royal Institute of International Affairs/Chatham House for nearly forty years. Chatham House's sister organization is the US Council On Foreign Relations, it says so on their website:

This is an article still posted at one of the CFR's own websites:
"... but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault. The hopeful aspect of the present situation is that even as nations resist appeals for "world government" and "the surrender of sovereignty," technological, economic and political interests are forcing them ... "As in the case of the U.S. Constitution, we are more likely to make progress by pressing the existing instrument to the outer limits of its potentialities through creative use, seeking amendments only on carefully selected matters where they seem both necessary and capable of adoption by the constitutionally required majority." ~ Council on Foreign Relations, Foreign Affairs, April 1974
