🛑 1/Important Finding: what is outlined here is the connective tissue that links Russia with the US so-called "new age" + catholic communities, and which has driven a lot of cult narratives. See the thread below and then read my commentary for context.

2/One of Putin's propaganda aims is to drive a schism in the Roman Catholic Church that would result in fulfillment a "Third Rome" prophecy — i.e. Moscow would become the "third" seat (succeeding Rome and Constantinople) of a unified Orthodox+Catholic Church.

3/Many believe this prophecy to be the contents of the "Third Secret of Fátima," which drives a lot of mysticism and devotion among adherents. This cultish orientation has clear propaganda value for cultural engineering.

4/The Roman Catholic Church is not monolithic. Within it are various societies and groups, among them the Knights of Malta and the Sovereign Order of St. John. Even those groups have factions and fissures. However, this thread outlines links between the Orthodox + Roman churches.

5/From a network perspective, this is evidence showing network linkage between the Orthodox and Roman Churches, US "New Age" cult(s), and Filipino anti-Roman sects (Iglesia Ni Cristo). This is the underlying steel framework of a massive cultural engineering effort.

6/This ties in to Bannon's obsession with Italy and sparking a schism in the Catholic Church. His pal, Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò, opposes Pope Francis and has been trying to "expose" abuses in the Church for years, real or not. churchmilitant.com/news/article/d…

7/Flynn and "Q" also promoted letters from Viganò, praising Trump. And Viganò himself has also promoted Q themes. Anyway, very good work here by @jimstewartson connecting Humphrey Angeles and Michael Beckwith into this Knights of Malta + Sovereign Order of St. John mess.

8/Finally: if this all seems "too complex to understand," remember, that's the point. These folks operate in plain sight under the cover of complexity. I hope this thread offers at least some context. Will try to answer questions if I am able. Thanks.

Here's some background on the "Third Rome" prophecy.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow,_t…

Fun fact I didn't know: "Third Rome" figures greatly in the second memoir of Whittaker Chambers. Although published posthumously as Cold Friday (1964), Chambers had planned it from inception as "The Third Rome". A long chapter called "The Third Rome" appears in the memoir.

And this article, by Pat Buchanan (!) of all people, outlines this whole Third Rome arc, and Putin's strategy. Also Allen Carlson and the World Council of Families. Many themes I touched on in my "Big History" series.
