Pope Francis orders all Vatican affiliated entities & church orders to transfer all funds & assets to the Vatican Bank.
No more hiding of church funds in Swiss banks & laundering it for oligarchs, politicians, & mobsters. #ButNothingsHappening catholicnewsagency.com/news/252093/po…
This follows a years long fight between factions within the Vatican to control the vast resources fo the Catholic Church. Resources used in many Swampy & nefarious ways.
Like closing monasteries, stealing their assets & purchasing luxury hotels... crisismagazine.com/2022/pillaging…
Vatican financial scandals go back many decades and frequently include intelligence agencies who can launder money through them & into countries around the world without leaving any fingerprints. churchandstate.org.uk/2012/10/cia-an…
So how do you Cardinals launder money in real estate?
Mobster sells $100M building to secret Vatican slush fund for $300M.
Vatican resells building to Romney's old company Bain investment fund for $200M.
Cardinal Pell tried to clean up the money laundering & corruption at the Vatican.
His enemies then framed him for sex abuse, even using Vatican funds to bribe witnesses to make the accusations.
And now the Secretariat of State will have to deposit all of it's funds & assets in the Vatican Bank by October 1st. Wonder if the Pope is letting the FBI provide free financial colonscopies on those assets?
And if you think it doesn't lead anywhere fun...
A Nigerian oligarch who illegally funded the Clintons for 20 years got himself appointed as the Ambassador to the Vatican from a tax haven island to get diplomatic immunity.
How did Chagoury get caught by FBI?
His spokesman for Bush fixer Mark Corralo kept the media from covering SoS Clinton providing pay-to-play favors to Chagoury.
Corralo then got hired as the spokesman for Trump's Mueller legal team.
It was a witch hunt!
Remember all those media leaks that the fake news blamed on Mueller's team? The ones citing anonymous sources familiar with the investigation.
Wonder if they came from Corallo & Chagoury in an effort to convince everyone that Trump was guilty & the walls were closing in?
In 2020 & 2021, Cecilia Marogna, a Vatican security consultant was charged for her role in this scandal.
Her role? Financial security for the Swamp Vatican Secretariat of State. fcced.com/vatican-securi…
This connects into the 1MDB scandal where almost $5B was stolen from Malaysia.
Tarek Obaid as indicted for laundering money & provided millions of shady money to the pal of the Swiss AG in an effort to shutdown investigation.
Of course one of their partners in laundering 1MDB money through PetroSaudi is the consultant who provides financials security for the Vatican... suarakeramat1.blogspot.com/2019/05/petros…
If you don't know who the Obaid brothers are, you don't have any idea what the Swamp is.
They are the Kevin Bacons of Swampy corruption, you can connect every Swamp creature on the planet to the Obaids within 6 degrees of separation.
I've done it for you!
The Obaids are also friends with the Mifsuds (Swampy Malta Vatican funny money & Italian intel) & the Khashoggis (Swampy Saudi intel & CIA outsourced arms deals).
So how deep are your connections when you are the fixers for a corrupt Saudi Prince who ran the Saudi Deep State from 1972 until his surprise resignation on 9/1/2001?
The Obaid’s may also have a long relationship with former CIA Director John Brennan. But this could just be an Swampy fake news effort to smear Brennan.
Who ran DODs ONA? From 1972 when it was created?
A RAND consultant named Andrew Marshall. Appointed by Nixon & reappointed by Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush & Obama before he retired.
Marshall was succeeded by Col. James H. Baker, not the FBI James Baker.
Who DOJ OIG found evidence that ONA’s Baker leaked the Flynn Kislyak calls to the press.
Of course it seems like CIA tried to talk Pompeo into authorizing an assassination of Assange. As retaliation or a cover up of Wikileaks publishing CIA's Vault 7 tools showing how CIA trained contractors to pretend to be Russian hackers.
Former Congressman Terrance John “TJ” Cox (D-CA) charged with 15 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, 1 count of financial institution fraud, and 1 count of campaign contribution fraud. #ButNothingsHappening justice.gov/opa/pr/former-…
While everyone was watching the latest episode of Trump Crime of the Century of the Week where the FBI pretends they are after Trump while going after criminals Trump helped the FBI catch, seems there was another warrant that will remain sealed... courtlistener.com/docket/6487581…
It's 'unrelated' to the subject matter being discussed in the media & should remain sealed...
The Times Union says it has information & belief that this warrant is related to Trump & Mara Lago. Are they wrong?
Possibly but they felt there information was solid enough that they filed a motion in a federal court to unseal it.
Had illegal links to a Chinese printer technology company, Chinese officials, gave them the identity & movements of an undercover FBI agent, the FBI NYFO Org chart. Got paid in hookers & cash to his parents.
This hacking case is looking more interesting than I thought.
Seems "three hostile foreign actors" were hacking the US court system case document servers.
Their targets? Reading those sealed search warrants & case filings to see where cases were headed. reuters.com/world/us/us-ju…
I had missed this specific hacking issue when it was announced as part of SolarWinds.
The courts went public on 1/6/21 with new procedures requiring that all sealed filings be submitted on paper or thumbdrive instead of filed electronically through PACER. uscourts.gov/news/2021/01/0…
So going after highly sensitive sealed documents, sounds like a key way for the Swamp, criminals & foreign adversaries to identify who is cooperating with the feds & who is under investigation.
Sealed warrants would include wiretaps & other information that could help criminals.
