DID THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PRESSURE POPE BENEDICT XVI TO RESIGN?

Watching the pontificate of Francis I (Jorge Cardinal Bergolio) is a little like watching an updated version of the Borgias; "Borgia 2.0" or "Borgias for the 21st century" or a television sit-com: "The Holy Father Knows Best" or a replay of "Ozzie and Harriet" only in this case, "Bennie and Frannie," sans the occasional tune from Rickie Nelson. One has to wonder if, indeed, this Pope is even remotely Roman Catholic, and it's not just me wondering, apparently a few cardinals and archbishops are as well.

And, if the following article which appeared on Breitbart is any indicator, they've taken steps to have the Trump Administration look into it (our thanks to Ms. K.B. and Mr. V.T. for sharing this story):

An Italian archbishop close to Pope Benedict XVI has claimed that the Obama administration may have been complicit in the “tremendous pressures” that led the former pope to resign in 2013.

As one might imagine, this has my high octane speculation gears working in overdrive, and there are two factors I think lurking in the background here that are essential to what may be going on. The first is the ongoing pedophilia scandal that appears to be representative of a world-wide phenomenon and network of human trafficking, pedophilia, and perhaps even human sacrifice. Allegations of such - pedophilia and sacrifice - certainly surrounded the Franklin scandal of the late 1980s and early 1990s, and were the central feature to the late Fr. Malachi Martin's last novel, Windswept House, in which, like his earlier novel Vatican, presented some uncomfortable details in the form of fiction. Martin made no attempts to circumvent or soft-peddle the central issue that preoccupied all of his books - both fiction and non-fiction - namely, that there was a "rogue group" loose within the Roman Catholic Church involved in such activities. During the Pontificate of Benedict XVI, these rumors swirled in the air at the time of his resignation and many believed they formed a component of the pressure forcing him to resign. This article from Breitbart appears to corroborate at least some aspect of those speculations which were being discussed back then:

It is “no coincidence” that some Catholic groups “have asked President Trump to open a commission of inquiry to investigate whether the administration of Barack Obama exerted pressure on Benedict,” said Archbishop Luigi Negri in an interview Monday, citing other revelations by Wikileaks regarding efforts by the Democratic Party to sway the direction of the Catholic Church in the United States.

“It remains shrouded in mystery for now,” he said to news outlet Rimini 2.0, “but I am sure that those responsible will be found out.”

The archbishop was making reference to a letter written by a group of American Catholics to President Trump last January requesting that the administration conduct an investigation into a possible Soros-Obama-Clinton conspiracy behind the resignation of Pope Benedict.

The letter stated specifically that “we have reason to believe that a Vatican ‘regime change’ was engineered by the Obama administration.”
(Emphasis added)

Of course, "regime change" is not a new phenomenon for the Vatican, for it has both orchestrated, and been the victim of, such events in its long history. The question here is why, and the article provides a disturbing potential connection:

Approximately a year after an e-mail conversation released by Wikileaks, the authors contended, “we find that Pope Benedict XVI abdicated under highly unusual circumstances and was replaced by a pope whose apparent mission is to provide a spiritual component to the radical ideological agenda of the international left.”

In startling revelations last October, Clinton campaign chief John Podesta was found to have created phony “Catholic” organizations in order to use Church leaders to push a liberal agenda in congress and to promote the agenda of the Democratic Party.

In the midst of the hundreds of John Podesta’s emails released by Wikileaks, one contained a report by Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, a faux Catholic association founded by Podesta to provoke a revolution in the Catholic Church.

All this raises a high octane speculation and question: Was it necessary to get rid of Benedict XVI (Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger) because that Pope was known as the "conservatives' conservative", particularly in matters such as the Roman Church's steadfast opposition to abortion, a "right" with which the Democratic Party and the left in general has become identified? Or was it because, in dealing with the Church's own internal problems with the pedophilia problem, that Pope Benedict was gaining a clear picture of the way the networks - both within and without the Church - operated? Or was it some combination of both?

This brings us to the second factor that might be operative: the Vatican bank, the problems with which first surfaced in a major way under Benedict's (Ratzinger's) mentor, Pope John-Paul II. It will be recalled that John-Paul II (Karol Cardinal Wojtyla) took over from the short-lived Pope John-Paul I(Albino Cardinal Luciani, former Patriarch Archbishop of Venice). Luciani, in his turn, had been strongly rumored to be investigating the corruption at the Vatican Bank, and the inroads of Masonry into the Roman Curia by elements of the notorious Loge Propaganda Due, led by Italian Freemason and political wheeler-dealer and definitely Fascist-leaning Licio Gelli. Notably, when the Italian government shut down P-2, Gelli fled to (you guessed it) Argentina. John-Paul II became Pope, and his personal security chief, American Archbishop Paul Marcinkus took over the Vatican bank, and for all intentions and purposes, the bank returned to its "normal operations" which, as Vatican bank-watchers have often alleged, included money laundering and acting as a clearing house for all manner of transactions many wished to keep quiet. Francis enters the picture here because as I noted some time ago, he determined to clean out the bank and make it "compliant" with international banking standards (and we all know how high those are!) by appointing an accounting firm as auditor which is the same auditor of record for the Bank of International Settlements and Lloyd's of London, among others.

Throw in the Obama-Soros-Clinton ne'er-do-wells, and one has a very murky list indeed, one which, somehow, touches upon or includes:

1) pedophilia and human trafficking rings;

2) an attempt at a radicalization of the Roman Church via Marxist economic "thinking" in its "Catholic" manifestation (liberation theology, a hallmark of many in the Jesuit order, incidentally);

3) A Jesuit Pope from Argentina (which is the country Licio Gelli fled to), who replaced

4) A German Pope who was the "brain trust" of the previous Pope, and who was embroiled in the pedophilia scandal;

5) The Vatican Bank, over which an auditor has been appointed which was also auditor for the Bank of International Settlements with its own dirty past of dealings with - you guessed it - Nazis;

6) allegations of "regime change" being leveled at the Obama-Clinton-Soros networks; and last but not least,

7) suspicions about the current Pope's actual commitments to Roman Catholic orthodoxy.

So where's the high octane speculation in all this? I cannot help but think that the late Fr. Martin may have been correct about the existence of a rogue group within the Vatican, for the "factional infighting" between this group and those more committed to Roman Catholic orthodoxy appears to have been  going on at least since John-Paul I, who was apparently trying to do something about the mess when he was found dead in his bedchamber under circumstances I personally still view as highly suspicious(and if you don't believe they're suspicious, investigate the actions of the then Cardinal Camerlengo, Jean Cardinal Villot, upon John-Paul I's death). And with that in mind, I cannot help but think that there is some connection between all the pedophilia scandals we've been hearing about lately, and the Vatican Bank. After all, how would one conduct the financing for such a global network without raising suspicions? One would have to chose an institution which, on the face of it, seemed above reproach, an institution moreover that had the ability to shuffle funds in and out of accounts.

And that brings me to my final high octane suspicion, namely, that in requesting an investigation of the American side of all this mess, that the Catholic hierarchs behind it may run up to, and include, Pope Benedict XVI himself, who, on other scores, has been amazingly quiet, particularly and unusually so, since many of Francis' suspicious doctrinal pronouncements fall precisely within Benedict's competence as former head of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith (i.e., the "Holy Office", the modern name of the Roman Inquisition). All this places Benedict's curious resignation into a new light, for if the current Pope's orthodoxy or even manner of election should ever be called into question with enough evidence to invalidate either, that would leave a natural, and orthodox, successor in Benedict to head an opposition. But don't expect Francis to go quietly into the night. One might, in other words, be looking at a replay of the Middle Ages, when two popes essentially split the Roman Church, and that would serve the purposes of the radical left - the Clintons, Soroses, and Obamas of this world - quite well.

See you on the flip side...

    I would still say the jesuits are talmudic jews, the society of anti-jesus was formed by jews or crypto jews.
    https://www.worldslastchance.com/end-time-prophecy/10-facts-you-must-know-about-the-jesuits.html
    there’s a strong link somewhere with the Germans and Venice (university of Padua for instance). the inquisition could not get a hold of Venice or Florence. Germans 150,000 of them on a crusade to slaughter those Hussites (proto protestants) in Czecho/Bohemia land. our way or the bye bye way. (same as Muslim caliphate conversion, give piece one chance, then you are quarted into pieces, same as the Roman Inquisition).
    all a matter of what badge the cannanites/pharisees/babylonian talmudists wear and which side one takes on any of it.
    there’s a question of bloodlines, so surely the jesuits would have had to be doing naughty things on the side so the bastard line (ala the Illuminati/Dark Nobility/Sabbatean Jews matchmaking schemas) could continue since 1000ad and mandatory (womanless) celibacy (my next book after this History of the Inquisition by Henry Charles Lea – 1890 – will be on Celibacy).
    Also rumors that there is a basement under the UN NY building for satanic SOS (Synagogue of Satan) rituals, but you’d have to ask Ben Fulford to ask David Rockefeller (their land donated to the UN) about that. too late.

    so really what is the point of our continued exposure to the coming out party of the pedo war criminals running the planet?

    it’s clearly not about reform or even convincing anyone of reform. not even future generations who will be easier to convince

    Interview with Svali, an Illuminati defector:

    ” I was 12 ….. we went to the Vatican. There is, underneath the Vatican a large room …. it’s circular …. and they bring out the mummies from the catacombs …

    .. there was a large table in the center of the room. It was on top of a huge, golden pentagram….

    …And a little boy was placed in the center of the room, on drugs – I think he was drugged, because he was very quite, he didn’t move or say anything during the ceremony.

    The man was in scarlet. He was speaking in Latin. … saying, “Please accept the sacrifice on this day. ….This sacrifice will seal the ceremony.”

    And then he did it.

    Afterwards, the man in scarlet, he had a huge, golden ring on his hand. He came over to the center of the room and he had each of the people who were swearing that day. I had to go forward and kneel before him, and kiss his ring, and swear my allegiance to the New World Order until my death.”

    Here’s an interesting article by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky who was in Argentina while Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) was a supporter of the military junta that overthrew the elected government…. with a little help from Kissinger and the pranksters out of Langley.

    Every time I see a story about The Vatican or the Pope I make sure I have a bucket handy. This organization of child molesters and vipers should be outlawed, and their members hung up by their feet and flogged.
    Now for David Rockamoran, he’s going to the grave without his precious new world order. If there are pearly gates, when he gets there I’ll bet they are closed for the day. Oh and wait for the news media, they will heap praise on this “great American”……well, that bucket just got a little closer.

    The saddest part of all of this for me is in the minimization and besmirching of Spirituality (contact with the higher realms). Religion comes about when the original experiencers die off or transcend. Various power structures begin to form around the core teachings and/or disciples left behind. Over time, the teachings are edited-down and even the disciples-of-the-disciples-of-the-disciples die off. Most often, Spirituality diminishes into power-seeking as the original (radical) message of ‘look within’ gets lost…

    The Sixties were the last big upsurge in getting-back to Spirituality (with generally positive but mixed results). Since then, there has been a slow but steady dilution into a “greed is good” style of thinking. Power. Flip back and forth in your mind from the Sixties-attitudes to today; it is shocking.

    It is long since the Vatican has had a true Spiritual leader (to include most of the other religions). The time is long overdue for getting back to the ‘roots’. I kind of hope it is a ‘squeezing-through’ phenomenon from within all of humanity, rather than a single prophet or so. Harder to kill off…



    • iZeta on March 23, 2017 at 6:20 pm

      Goshawks your post is both sad and refreshing. Sad because it’s so true, refreshing because between the lines, I am reading that there’s still hope for humanity. So far, most of us can still think and realise our way out of the spiritual mud. However, it’s a personal journey for each of us, and if there are enough personal realisations, then, as you say, the “squeezing-through phenomenon” might just happen. It really is up to us.

      Just finished watching this.
      Interesting reference to the Super Bowl and the children. The Sandy Hook children are strongly suspected of taking part in this, and also the Hampstead children.
      Definitely worth listening to. It’s been a couple of years since the mother has been given a voice and she has quite a lot to say.

    Another black mark against the USSA but then a state that has overthrown nation states great and small. And has used religious institutions around the world for nefarious purposes should anyone be surprise. I think not I put nothing beyond the twisted desires of our elites and they dare to complain about Russian interference in last years elections in the USA.



  11. Rosenshad on March 20, 2017 at 7:56 am

    Wow. This is interesting in light of all those rumors of Steve Bannon being involved with some “revolt” of the curia—or certain important members thereof—against Francis. Another interesting thing to look at in this connection is Trump’s very insulting speech at that Catholic dinner he attended with Hillary present.



  12. basta on March 20, 2017 at 7:16 am

    The pope is a globalist and a politician first and foremost, then an actor (and a rather transparent and obvious one at that). He may or may not actually believe in God, and about the last thing one can be sure about him is if indeed he is actually a practicing, or more specifically a “believing” (the French like to say “croyant”), Catholic.

    All indicators agree that Benedict was ousted for his politics and an NWO toady was plopped in as pope when it was foreseen that Hillary would close the deal on that whole evil usurpation. Whether this was specifically engineered by the Obama administration, I rather doubt; rather more all the Usual Suspects were in it together.

    Hmm – modded.. however there is probably a very good reason.. Lots of links and 3 and a ahlf pages of text to read muahaha – Remember – Knights of Malta!! Its all about the Knights.

    Fantastic article Doc. I can only nod my head vigorously whilst reading this.
    Pope JP1 was apparently poisoned with his bed-side sweeties by possibly satanic agents (Bavarian Illuminati? I dont know.. the body was cremated within minutes of him dying.. so impossible to prove that he was poisoned..)
    Anyway – assassinated and replaced.

    Vatican bank?? Money laundering, http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-11380628 counterfeit cash http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/vaticancityandholysee/10732804/Con-men-stopped-entering-Vatican-bank-with-3-trillion-of-fake-bonds.html (learnt by the Italiens.. from the Americans..after being pinched from the Nazis, who stole the idea from the Hapsburgs, because they lost WW1…. Ok that’s huge swarthes of simplification and broad paint strokes.. but its essentially that.) What’s really VILLAIN AND NASTY for the Vatican Bank, is that they DESTROY their paper records every 10 years. Its immoral,; illegal and mind-boggingly hypocritical. And that’s the Catholic Church bank. The Priest’s bank. The Priests of a major world religion. Illegal.

    So… What has Francis been upto since he arrived.
    Apart from going soft on Pedophile Priests he’s stomping all over the knights of Malta.

    QUOTE : “In effect, what all this means is that Englishman Fra’ Matthew Festing, who served as Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, steps down from his life-time appointment, and German official Albercht Boeselager, who’d been fired as Grand Chancellor in December over a row involving the distribution of condoms in Myanmar through a Knights-affiliated charity, resumes his position.”

    If any GDS readers go onto community, I was ranting about this guy last december. (Boeselager..)

      KNIGHTS OF THE ORDER OF MALTA (6)
      DagoreportUn rich French gentleman, Jehan du Tour, bequeaths a foundation in Lichtenstein of about 120 million Swiss francs, and appointed his heirs of two natural persons and two charities, the Hospitallers of St John of God and the French Association Malta.L’esecutore of testamentary, Ms. Ariane Slinger, residing in Geneva, decided to create a New Zealand trust law – Caritas pro Vitae GRADU Charitable Trust – of which he became a trustee (the trust prevents the division of assets, the trustee assigned income beneficiaries).
      KNIGHTS OF THE ORDER OF MALTA (4)
      Ms. Slinger director of a company (Ace Trustees SA), which specializes in asset management and offshore fund management and capital. He is director or has indirect interests of several companies based in tax havens such as the Bahamas, Dubai and Russia (Selectus Capital Limited, Gothard Capital Limited, Currency Capital Limited, Maximus Capital Limited, Yanni Management Limited, Mickey Management Limited and many others) and through these directs an offshore financial empire that makes available to its customers.
      Monsignor Silvano Tomasi
      In 2008 it was also involved in the deal La Garde-Tapie (403 million euro received from Tapie for litigation with Credit Lyonnais) for having made contact with the Tapie Pierre Condamin-Gerbier, a banker in Geneva later convicted. The Slinger is repeatedly named in investigative journalism sites, such as offshore leaks database and Panama leaks database.Nel 2012, after the death of the benefactor, the Order of Malta is aware of everything, thanks to one of its members French resident in Monte Carlo, and sues the Slinger before the Geneva court. The judgment is still pending, it is believed that if successful, the judgment could continue criminal proceedings against Slinger.
      MARC ODENDALL
      In Geneva resides Monsignor Silvano Tomasi, Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in Geneva. Archbishop Tomasi creates a foundation (Caritas in Veritate) as Chairman, when called to serve as Treasurer Marc Odendall, a business banker with extensive experience, especially in the media sector (IPO) to technology companies. Alice de la Rochefoucauld was appointed direttore.Nella foundation is appointed to the board Marie Therese Pictet Althann, Ambassador and Permanent Observer of the Order of Malta to the United Nations. Through the foundation Caritas in Veritate are organized numerous conferences, also involving a Lebanese banker (Société Générale de Banque), Marwan Senhaoui, president of the Lebanese Order of Malta, which has the experience with a group of volunteers of ‘ order, engaged in a refugee camp for Syrians run by Caritas.

        MARIE THERESE PICTET Althann
        Archbishop Tomasi, very close to the Vatican Secretary of State, is to confer the honor bestowed by the Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, is to Odendall that Pictet. Odendall was also appointed to the board of the AIF and the Vatican Monsignor Tomasi, at the end of the assignment in Geneva, was appointed member of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Pace.Dopo the election of the last government of the Order of Malta (2014) , Boeselager, Chancellor, decides to treat the proposals of Slinger, a legacy du Tour transaction. in July 2014 Odendall prepare a detailed report, with assistance from Sehnaoui, met in May 2014 during the pilgrimage to Lourdes.Un busy interchange email starts between Odendall, Boeselager, Sehnaoui and Tomasi. The Slinger directs Mons. Tomasi as “Dear Silvano”. Perhaps even the Secretary of State is informed. The Grand Master rejects any transaction. The day following the termination of the assignment of Boeselager, two high dignitaries at the Grand Master of the Order asking to be allowed to sign the transaction with Slinger, receiving a further rejection.
        POPE AND BERGOGLIO FESTING
        After strong pressure of the Patron Cardinal, Boeselager is ceased from His assignment. A commission internal ethics Order condemns distribution of condoms and contraceptives made by Malteser International in Myanmar, Kenya and South Sudan. This condemnation is confirmed by the Cardinal Gerhard Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Boeselager is shown as ultimately responsible, and initially tried to cover up and conceal the facts.

        ALBRECHT VON FREIHERR BOESELAGER
        A few days after the Secretary of State appointed a committee of five persons investigation, among which are appointed Monsignor Tomasi, Odendall and Senhaoui. This committee prepares for the Holy Father a terrible report on the Grand Master and refuses to revise its report, despite a reminder of the Holy Father that he wanted to quit in a less traumatic the vicenda.Questa is just one episode in a long struggle that pits those who want maintain the religious character of the Order of Malta also in the works of relief and assistance, by those who would turn it into a non-governmental non-religious organization. The next steps? Maybe appointed Grand Master of Odendall, or Ms. Slinger. A thousand years of Malta’s history will be deleted as well, by the Pope who comes from the end of the world.

    After all those announcements about “reforming” the Vatican bank, things seem to have gone very quiet. And the usual suspects, including the “Holy See”, are jostling to gain an advantegous position as the current “slow burn” financial and monetary reset plays out.
