CIA TO CHOOSE NEXT POPE?


Cardinal Bertone (right)
"The Secretary of State and the real power behind the papacy is Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, an old insider who also engineered the sacking of Gotti Tedeschi, head of the Vatican Bank, last May.

"Tedeschi had taken seriously the call of the European Parliament for 'greater transparency' by the Vatican Bank /IOR, and was about to disclose to Brussels how his bosses had been laundering money for the mob for decades.

"It was the pivotal Cardinal Bertone who leaked the pope's diary and other incriminating papers to a catholic-friendly journalist in Rome last year .... to prepare the world for Ratzinger's removal."

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...


Christoper Schoenborn, Austria

Cardinal Schoenborn, Archbishop of Vienna, is the son of a Bohemian count, and is seen as intellectually conservative.

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...
The Jerusalem Post, 1 April 2005, claimed that Schoenborn "delivered a strong message in favour of Jewish settlement in the Holy Land ... rejecting the claim that European Christians' support for the State of Israel is based on Holocaust guilt and saying that all Christians should affirm Zionism as a biblical imperative for the Jewish people."

Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Schoenborn was speaking at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on the topic of "God's chosen land."

Schoenborn said: "Only once in human history did God take a country as an inheritance and give it to His chosen people," Christians, Schoenborn said, should rejoice in the return of Jews to the Holy Land as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

Odilo Scherer, Brazil

The archbishop of Sao Paulo, Cardinal Odilo Scherer, 63, is the most prominent Latin American candidate.

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...


Joao Braz de Aviz, Brazil

The 65-year-old from Brazil has focused on the welfare of the poor as espoused by the Liberation Theology popular in Latin America. But he distances itself from its ideological "excesses".

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...


Timothy Dolan, United States

Cardinal Dolan, 62, from the United States, is the archbishop of the New York archdiocese.


Gianfranco Ravasi, Italy

Cardinal Ravasi, 70, has popularised Scripture studies through Italian television, radio and popular magazines. He is seen as a "moderate".


John Paul I

Will the the next Pope be chosen by the CIA?

The book 'In God's Name' by David Yallop suggests that, in 1978, Pope John Paul I was murdered.

According to Yallop this was partly because John Paul I was intending to excommunicate 100 top-ranking Vatican officials who were Freemasons.

Several of these Freemasons were allegedly co-conspirators in the Vatican Bank scandal.


Archbishop Marcinkus, who joined the priesthood in Chicago, where he was born to Lithuanian immigrants. He was a key figure in the 2.4 billion US dollars that were reportedly stolen from the Vatican Bank by the CIA-linked P2.

2.4 billion US dollars were reportedly embezzled from the Vatican Bank.

The masterminds of this bank crime were reportedly members of Italy's P2 masonic society.

Barbara Honnegar, author of 'October Surprise' believes that both Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger were key members of P2.

P2 was reportedly a fascist movement with links to the mafia.

John Paul II

After John Paul I's death:

1) Karol Wojtlya, allegedly the CIA's candidate, was elected as John Paul II.

2) John Paul II reportedly "sat" on the banking scandal.

3) Ronald Reagan allegedly bailed out the Vatican Bank with $300 million of "discretionary CIA funds."

4) Church canon law was changed in 1982 so that membership in the Freemasons was no longer grounds for excommunication from the Church of Rome.


Gelli

There was no autopsy performed on John Paul I.
Reportedly, many members of "P2", the secret Masonic society, carry with them a fatal dose of digitalis - on the advice of the society's founder, Licio Gelli.


Calvi

In 1982, P2 member Roberto Calvi was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in London, shortly before 1 billion dollars was found to be missing from the Vatican-owned Banco Ambrosiano.

Some think the Mafia murdered him.

Others think that Gelli, the Grand Master of P2, had him murdered.

Others think that the secret society so highly thought of by John Paul II - Opus Dei, did it.

Many of the CIA are reportedly members of Opus Dei.


From Barbara Honegger's 'October Surprise':

When the Italian police raided (P2 Lodge founder) Gelli's home in March 1981, it was Michael Ledeen who, at the instigation of Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger, offered to buy the list of 953 P2 members in an apparent attempt to keep it from becoming public.

Henry Kissinger had reportedly sent Ledeen to Italy to try to squash an investigation into his and Haig's involvement in the founding of P2.

Emanuela

15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi disappeared in Rome.

What is the Vatican's sinister secret behind teenager Emanuela.

According to a phone caller to a TV program: ''To find the solution to the case, go and see who's buried in the crypt of the basilica of Sant'Apollinare.''


Poletti

The caller implied that Emanuela had been kidnapped as a favour to Cardinal Ugo Poletti.

The motive was said to be sexual.

De Pedis allegedly supplied teens to cardinals for sex.


De Pedis.

Mob boss, Enrico De Pedis was buried in a diamond-encrusted tomb in the central Roman Basilica of Sant’Apollinare, beside the Opus Dei University of the Holy Cross.

On 14 May 2012, police forensic experts exhumed the tomb.

They found hundreds of bones in an ossuary nearby in the crypt.



Some people believe that the Mob boss de Pedis was the son of Cardinal Poletti, the Vicar of Rome, who was very close to former Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti.

De Pedis reportedly was involved in the CIA's Operation Gladio, which carried out acts of terrorism in Italy.

In Italy, the P2 masonic lodge linked up all the 'bad guys' belonging to the Deep State.

(http://www.american-buddha.com/darkhistory3.htm)

The Deep State "is a parallel secret government, organized by the intelligence and security apparatus, financed by drugs, and engaging in illicit violence, to protect the status and interests of the military..."

(The Link Between War and Big Finance )



In March 1981, the Italian police found a list of the 962 members of P2, which contained the names of:

3 government ministers and 43 members of parliament,

43 generals and 8 admirals,

Secret service chiefs and police commanders

Top bureaucrats and diplomats, industrialists, financiers, journalists and TV personalities.



Gelli

Ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky wrote that Licio Gelli, P2's Grand Master, was allied to Mossad and involved in Operation Gladio.

( down with murder inc / Israel, Mossad, Iran and a Nuclear False Flag Attack )

The CIA-NATO's Operation Gladio carried out acts of terrorism such as the 1980 Bologna Bombing.

Top people who allegedly had contact with P-2 include:

Henry Kissinger,

Edmond de Rothschild, and

David Rockefell

File sharing is now an official religion in Sweden

By:

For many people, file sharing is a way of life. At any given time, they will be seeding handfuls of torrents, downloading several more, and searching The Pirate Bay for something new. The practice provides a cathartic experience that you could even say gives meaning to their lives. So why not take the next step and turn it into a religion? That’s exactly what one man tried to do. The crazy part? He succeeded.

Yes, file sharing has been officially recognized as a religion by the Swedish government. The Church of Kopimism is the fruit of philosophy student Isak Gerson’s efforts. After two unsuccessful attempts to convince authorities to recognize the religion (its methods of praying or meditiaton were deemed too informal), Kopimism was finally granted religious status.

What does Kopimism hold as beliefs? You don’t think that it could have been officially recognized without its own set of creeds, do you? Among others, it holds the following axioms (paraphrased from an English translation):

copying of information is ethically right

spreading information is ethically right

copying or remixing information from another person is an act of respect and an expression of faith

Kopimism even has priests. A file sharing priest is called an Opar. An Opar’s duty is threefold: to live according to Kopimistic values, to help others live according to Kopimistic values, and to actively shape his environment to be more Kopimistic.

Most religions have a formal set of symbols, and Kopimism is no exception. It appropriately uses Control-C and Control-V (keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste) as sacred symbols. The church’s website does denote that any symbol can be reproduced as a Kopimist symbol, so perhaps Mac users will prefer to hold Command-C and Command-V as sacred symbols.

It’s easy to get a chuckle out of file sharing being recognized as a religion, but why not? If someone finds joy, purpose, and a sense of oneness with the universe by visiting The Pirate Bay, then how is that less important or less “right” than someone who has the same experience in a religion that society has deemed acceptable? Of course they’re breaking the law and taking copyrighted content for free, but they’d be doing that anyway. If you’re going to be doing something regardless, I say it’s better to celebrate it than to feel ashamed about it.

One thing that Kopimists won’t likely get, however, is immunity from prosecution based on religious grounds. Rastafarians, whose religion is much older and larger than Kopimism, are routinely rejected by courts when they attempt to defend their marijuana use on religious grounds. While file sharing isn’t prosecuted as often as cannabis use is, the results of such a legal defense — in Sweden or elsewhere — aren’t likely to be different.

Those looking to join the Church of Kopimism can sign up at the church’s new member’s page.

Absolutely... not


Uploaded by on 30 Jul 2008

Divine absolute values are claimed by some to be the only valid basis for morality.

This video takes a look at some of the many problems with that claim, and its consequent impotence in dismissing the morality of those who do not believe in gods.

Holy Thorn Tree Vandalised in Crown Backlash

Standing proudly on the side of an English hill, its religious roots go back 2,000 years. But a single night of vandalism has left an ancient site of pilgrimage in splinters.

The Holy Thorn Tree of Glastonbury has been chopped down in what is being seen by some* as an act of aggression by Edward James of Crown Currency Exchange, the owner of the land.

A feature of the skyline surrounding the Somerset town, the tree has been visited by thousands retracing the steps said to have been taken by Joseph of Arimathea, who some say was Jesus’ great uncle.

the vandalised holy thorn tree

Police tape surrounds the vandalised Holy Thorn tree on Wearyall Hill in Glastonbury as stunned locals look on. The branches were cut off overnight and a police investigation has been launched

Experts had verified that the tree – known as the Crategus Monogyna Bi Flora – originated from the Middle East.

Avon and Somerset police have begun an investigation but because there was no tree preservation order on the Holy Thorn, it means the vandals are unlikely to be prosecuted. The land on which the Holy Thorn stood is owned by Edward James, who was arrested this week in connection with an investigation into failed currency exchange firm Crown Currency Exchange, of which he is a director.

According to the administrator’s report, Crown Currency collapsed owing £16million with little more than £3million in the bank. Last night there was speculation that the attack on the Holy Thorn may have been part of a vendetta against him.

...*
As the leader of the Crown Currency Action Group I speak on behalf of all our members in condemning the recent vandalism of The Holy Thorn Tree in Glastonbury.

I can assure you that all our members are totally disgusted to discover that this mindless act has taken place. As a group we have always tried to maintain the utmost dignity in the face of very difficult circumstances and we are outraged that Councillor Edward James could even consider the possibility that anyone from our group would be involved in such preposterous behaviour.

We would like to offer our sympathy to the people of Somerset and appreciate the significance and importance that the tree held for its residents and visitors. As a group we have received a great deal of sympathy from the people of Shepton Mallet, Mendip and surrounding areas. The furthest thing from our minds would be to cause them any distress.

It beggars belief that Councillor James could even think that anyone of our group would condone such behaviour. We can only assume that perhaps Councillor James is trying to deflect media attention from his recent arrest or to gain sympathy. In which case one might wonder who had more to be gained from the desecration of the Holy Tree?

Perhaps the false implication of a vendetta against Councillor James may be more beneficial to himself rather than anyone else. Apparently the police are looking for a motive - perhaps they need to look a bit closer to the tree…

Queer Kissing Flash Mob vs Pope

By: thinkSPAIN , Monday, November 8, 2010

POPE Benedict XVI faced a colder reception in Barcelona on Sunday than he did the day before in Santiago de Compostela (Galicia).

Aside from a few hundred people outside the Sagrada Familia, very few people bothered to turn out to greet the Popemobile as it toured through the streets of the northern city.

And a huge crowd of same-sex couples, both male and female, kissed each other passionately in the street outside Barcelona Cathedral as the Popemobile cruised past.

“This is not a slight against Christians in general, those who do good work and adhere to the true teachings of Jesus Christ,” says Jordi Petit, leader of the Queer Kissing Flash Mob, which has been censored on Facebook at least once.

“It is a public criticism against the hierarchy of the Catholic Church.

“Religion should be a personal choice, not imposed.”

Those in support of euthanasia and abortion also protested on the streets as the Pope did his rounds of the city.

Despite the shocked reaction of Spain's leaders at the Pontiff's speech declaring that the country was now 'more secular and anti-clerical than in the 1930s', he was greeted by the Royal family and by the president in a warm, cordial manner and Papal spokesman Federico Lombardi insisted that there had been 'no controversial intentions' behind Benedict XVI's words.
