In this BIG BROTHER TV trailer from Australia, a bombed-out London Olympics stadium is clearly ‘subliminally’ shown.
Hidden in plain-sight.
Below is the commercial that the flash came from…which strangely is sports related and shows a coliseum being torn down.
“Keep your ears to the ground and your eyes to the sky….in the direction of the Olympics in London.”

BY THE VIGILANT CITIZEN
“I, Pet Goat II” is a computer animated video that is loaded with silent messages and esoteric symbolism. While the movie has no dialogue, each symbol tells a piece of a story that covers the fields of history, politics, occult conspiracies and spirituality. We’ll look at the esoteric meaning behind the viral sensation “I, Pet Goat II”.
WATCH FIRST:
Produced by the Canadian production crew Heliofant, I, Pet Goat II is a short animated movie that quickly went viral across the internet. Praised for its visual feats and its interesting imagery, the video however left many puzzled about the meaning of its symbolism. Politics, conspiracies and false flag operations are mixed with esoteric spirituality and occult symbolism in one big mesmerizing mind bender.
After watching the video, many might say something like “What the hell did I just watch?”. The story is somewhat non-linear and there are many cryptic and enigmatic elements in the movie. I won’t claim to fully decode every single symbol-filled frame of the video, but many of the messages are easily understandable due to rather heavy-handed symbolism.
In general, the movie appears to be about the political and social climate of the past decade – complete with puppet Presidents, false flag terror and mind-controlling sorcerers. Then, through the following of a Christ figure, we leave all the sadness behind to enter a new, sunny era. In short, the story is about the triumph of spiritual enlightenment against the forces of darkness. Let’s look at the movie and at some of its many details.
The video begins with an interesting scene: A goat inside a box in what appears to be some sort of detention (FEMA) camp. The goat has a bar-code on its head with the numbers 6 6 6 underneath it. If I, Pet Goat is about liberation from the forces of darkness, this first scene seems to depict the exact opposite. Does this goat represent those who have been “boxed in”, bar-coded and brainwashed by the corrupt system? The usage of the pronoun “I” in the title implies that the goat might be, in fact, the viewer himself.
In the first part of the video, a hidden puppet master controls George “Dubya” Bush inside a classroom. When the planes struck the Word Trade Center in September 2001, Bush was inside a classroom reading the book My Pet Goat to children. The Masonic checkerboard floor of the classroom might signify that this whole charade had a ritualistic component to it.
Above Bush is an interesting graphic depicting the evolution of mankind from fish, to monkey, to man holding a weapon. What is the final stage of evolution? The illuminated man, represented by a sunburst around its head.
Bush wears a dunce cap, this conical hat that was given to “slower” students to humiliate them. When Bush is done making a fool out of himself, he turns into Obama, a charming and distinguished man wearing a graduation cap. He starts off nice and lovable, but he ultimately begins to laugh at the audience. While he appeared to be the perfect response to the idiocy of Bush’s era, the fact remains: He is simply another puppet controlled by the same puppet master.
While most of the audience is totally oblivious to what is happening, one girl is not buying it.
While the masses appear to be deaf, dumb and blind (and restrained by barb wire), this little girl realizes that “this apple is not hers and drops it”. Obama is concerned by the awakening of this girl.
We are then taken to the cold and snowy outside world around the school. On a wall, there’s a graffiti with an important message behind it.
The Biblical verse that is referred to by the graffiti appears to foretell the journey viewers are about to embark on.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
- Psalm 23, NIV
The outside world is dark, cold and literally in decay. It is sad, corrupt and everything is shaking and crumbling down.
At one point, two towers – reminiscent of the WTC – fall down. We then learn that it was an inside job.
Bin Laden is wearing a CIA badge, hinting to the fact that he was a tool used by the American government to advance its agenda. The moon crescent, a symbol associated with Islam, is reversed, which is may be a way of saying that all this Al-Qaeda stuff is a perversion and an exploitation of Islam.
While oil leaks from everywhere, a six pointed star appears under the Statue of Liberty, renamed by the makers of the movie “Lady of Helotry” (“helotry” means serfdom or slavery).
Is the six-pointed star (also know as the Star of David) appearing under the Lady of Helotry a way of saying that the US is highly influenced by Israel?
While the world is crumbling down, many ancient institutions disappear or get destroyed.
This Latino worker is sinking, along with his hammer and sickle – representing the disappearance of Marxism in third world countries. On Heliofant’s official site it is said: “After years of economic exploitation and the environmental degradation, Juan “Pepito” has a decidedly sinking feeling.”
The world is under the spell of an evil sorcerer named Drako. According to the makers of the movie, Drako is:
“The Sorcerer, the unseen hand and spirit of madness seeking ever more control through trickery, lies, poisons, false-flag events, wars, and mountains of bureaucratic and legal framework to siphon off the energy of the inhabitants of the earth. He fears the light of day as he fears life itself, and operates in the shadows. His greatest power is his hold on the issuance of the currency.”
Does this sound like what we call the Illuminati? Yes, yes it does.
The same way the Illuminati seeks to brainwash children since birth, Drako preys on this unborn child named Ludovic.
In esoteric tradition, the symbol of the serpent-entwined egg is known as the Orphic Egg. In short, it represents the latent seed of life and the infinite potential of creation. In other words, while this child appears to be hopeless, he still has the power to reach his full potential.
When the egg is hatched and the child is born, Drako literally takes control of his mind in a creepy, parasitic way.
Drako has the pyramid and all-seeing eye found on the US dollar bill on his chin. Not only does it represent the fact that he controls currency, it also represents the Illuminati. Underneath Drako’s eyes is the saying “Ordo Ab Chao” – meaning Order Out of Chaos, the occult elite’s favorite slogan. Also, the dude has only one eye open. Could he, like, more represent the Illuminati?
Amid all this chaos, a figure emerges with the power to make everything right.
Navigating on an Egyptian ceremonial boat, Jesus Christ appears to be in trance.
The Christ-like figure has a third eye painted right on the pineal gland, which refers to the concept of spiritual illumination. The triangle above the eye represents divinity and that illumination leads to the contact with one’s own divine nature. The symbols on the Christ’s forehead are in complete opposition to pyramid on Drako’s chin. While both figures bear similar symbols on their faces, Christ has them “right” and Drako has them in reverse/inverted, meaning that he (and the Illuminati) have corrupted these ancient symbols.
Named by the makers of the video “The Fire of Truth”, the Christ figure is not meant to be Jesus Christ himself, but a representation of the concept of Inner Christ as defined by Gnosticism. According to this esoteric current of Christianity, the Inner Christ is the potential found in everyone to reach godhood through spiritual illumination. On Heliofant’s website, The Fire of Truth is described as:
“That’s YOU!!! when you stand in the awareness of your sonship with the Divine and the brotherhood of mankind!!! “
When the Christ figure breathes the Fire of Truth on the world, some oppressed or distressed characters come back to life, like Ludovic, the child inside the egg. Also, Aali, a little Muslim boy that appeared battered and dead rises back to life.
The boy is executing the ancient art of Sufi whirling, which is practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. The Dervishes are an ancient esoteric current of Islam.
“The mysteries of the Islamic faith are now in the keeping of the dervishes – men who, renouncing worldliness, have withstood the test of a thousand and one days of temptation. Jelal-ud-din, the great Persian Sufic poet and philosopher, is accredited with having founded the Order of Mevlevi, or the “dancing dervishes,” whose movements exoterically signify the motions of the celestial bodies and esoterically result in the establishment of a rhythm which stimulates the centers of spiritual consciousness within the dancer’s body.”
- Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages
The rebirth of the Muslim boy as a Whirling Dervish signals that there is a link between him and the Inner Christ: Both represent initiation into esoteric schools, which all have a common goal – the contact with divinity through spiritual illumination. Other religions with esoteric undercurrents such as Hinduism (represented by a dancing Shiva), are also represented in the movie. Is the Christ figure maybe the Anti-Christ deceiving all religions into following him? Perhaps.
When the Christ figure exits the Cathedral, the building (which was guarded by an evil-looking gargoyle) crumbles behind him.
In this new era of spiritual enlightenment, elaborate man-made buildings become unnecessary and outdated. They therefore crumble and disappear.
As night turns into day, the Christ figure opens his fiery eyes and navigates towards the sunlight. Lotus flowers, symbols of spiritual enlightenment in Eastern philosophy, appear behind him, confirming to the viewers that the path to freedom is indeed a spiritual one.
I, Pet Goat II has received widespread acclaim for its technical prowess and its original storytelling. Although there is no narration or dialogue, an elaborate story is delivered using the most ancient and universal language in History: Symbolism. Through symbols, the movie manages to deliver an acerbic critique of today’s Western Civilization, to describe its numerous evils and even to predict its inevitable downfall. More importantly, a thorough decoding of the movie’s symbolism reveals a powerful message of spiritual enlightenment based on ancient Mysteries. While this esoteric aspect of the movie might not be understood by many, it is at the core of the movie and is presented as the ultimate solution to the evils and corruption of today’s world. The movie’s conclusion is therefore a very personal one: Either YOU become a pet goat with a 666 bar-code on your forehead or YOU become a Christ figure with a third eye on your forehead. This notion of personal enlightenment is definitively a Gnostic one and is common to most esoteric schools of thoughts in all civilizations.
Agreeing or disagreeing with the movie’s spiritual conclusion is a question of personal beliefs, but it is nevertheless obvious that those behind I, Pet Goat II are “in the know” about all things occult, esoteric and even conspiratorial. Each scene has a profound underlying story behind it – whether it be historical, political or spiritual – that would take pages and pages of words to thoroughly explain. Therein lie the power of symbols: They can simply be admired for their aesthetic beauty or they can, when fully understood, reveal a profound story about humanity, God and everything in between.

Watch the incredible video of legendary rapper Tupac perform with Snoop Dogg more than 15 years after his death.
Legendary rapper Tupac Shakur was brought back to life with a giant hologram at Coachella.
The deceased hip-hop star performed a song by himself before collaborating with Snoop Dogg, who was headlining the massive California festival.
Together they sang Come With Me, Gangsta Party and Hail Mary – a song that Tupac has never performed live and was released after his death more than 15 years ago.
Tupac, who was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996, looked remarkably lifelike.
Bare-chested and wearing a pair of jeans that looked circa 1995, the famous ‘Thug Life’ tattoo was seen clearly across his front.
The high-tech 3D image of the late star, which cost a reported $10 million, was used by Mariah Carey to perform five simultaneous concerts across Europe last year.
The hologram left everyone in disbelief with Katy Perry, who is at the festival, posting on Twitter: “I think I might have cried when I saw Tupac.”
And the late rapper was one of many special guests who joined Snoop on stage.
Dr Dre and Eminem turned up to perform Forgot About Dre, I Need a Doctor and Till I Collapse.

“Keep your nose to the ground and your eyes to the sky.”
FROM: www.nowtheendbegins.com
Vatican says Israel’s existence as Jewish state has nothing to do with the Bible.
“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3
DISCLAIMER: When the Vatican uses phrases such as “we Christians”, NTEB goes on record as saying that we are not part of whatever group it is they are referring to. The bible says that real Christians are to love the Jewish people and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. NTEB whole-heartedly supports the Jewish people and the literal, visible, physical, modern-day nation of Israel.
From YNET NEWS: In a special interview with Die Tagespost last week, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Fouad Twal, named by Pope Benedict to represent the Vatican in the Jewish State, declared that “Israel’s existence as such has nothing to do with the Bible.” He then compared Christians’ condition in today’s Jerusalem with Jesus’ Passion: “We Christians never forget that even our Lord himself suffered and was mocked in Jerusalem.”
“We Christians cannot speak about the Promised Land for the Jewish people”, the synod’s document said. “There is no longer a chosen people. The concept of the promised land cannot be used as a base for the justification of the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of Palestinians.”
Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Fouad Twal, named by Pope Benedict to represent the Vatican in the Jewish State, declared that “Israel’s existence as such has nothing to do with the Bible.”
Twal’s position on Israel and the Bible has been embraced at the highest levels in the Catholic Church. The Vatican synod in 2010 declared that Israel cannot use the Biblical concept of a promised land or a chosen people.
A few days ago, Patriarch Twal responded enthusiastically to the agreement reached between Hamas and Fatah. He also denounced “the Judaization of Jerusalem” and attacked Israel for “trying to transform it into an only Hebrew-Jewish city, excluding the other faiths.” Elsewhere, Iraq’s Archbishop, Louis Sako, asked to “separate between Judaism and Zionism.” Indeed, in the most influential quarters of Christianity, Jews are still regarded as an apostate group not entitled to a sovereign state of its own.
Jesus, the Palestinian prince of hope and peace?
Backed by the Catholic clergy, for the first time in history the Palestinians asked the United Nations’ cultural body to register Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity under the name of “Palestine.” According to Omar Awadallah, who heads the UN department in the PA Foreign Ministry,
“Jesus is the Palestinian prince of hope and peace and Christians all over the world want that church to be a World Heritage site.”
In a period when the Vatican’s anguish at the catastrophic decline of Arab Christianity should be palpable, the Catholic Church chooses to demonize Israel and to increase its collaboration with the PLO.
The confirmation comes from the intensity of high profile meetings in recent weeks and the participation of bishops not only from Arab countries, but from Europe and the United States as well.
Elimination of Jewish state has become a priority
Last January, eight Catholic bishops from Europe and North America, including UK Archbishop Patrick Kelly and French Archbishop Michel Dubost, visited Gaza. “I asked prisoners in the largest prison in Europe (in Evry) to pray for you,” Dubost told Gazans. The inference was clear: Palestinians are living in a big prison terrified by Israel. In the same period, Father Manuel Musalam, head of Gaza’s Catholics, met with Hamas leader, Mahmoud al Zahar, and declared that “Christians are not threatened by Muslims” but that everyone faces the same problem, that of Israel’s “humiliation.”
The Vatican’s criminalization of Zionism, which Arab Churches made a basic condition for Muslim-Christian rapprochement, grants the elimination of the Jewish State priority over defending the rights of their own beleaguered communities. After Arab nationalism failed to eliminate Israel, Arab Christianity and the Vatican are now building a Palestinian identity hostile to Israel and the Jews. source – YNET News

This is not a mere “trifling issue” of “theoretical” doctrinal discussion and theological proposition as the 666 beast as Satan incarnate is in the WH. We are mere months from Great Tribulation. It is time the body of Christ understood the depth of scripture that the elect are born from Heaven above and the reprobate are born from hell beneath as the devil and his angels incarnate in human flesh appearing. They are not “mere mortal men”. What they are and who they are is not according to the flesh but according to the spiritual reality of their personhood as devils from hell made men — wandering stars who left their first estate. They are among us as the aliens from “V”. He who restrains is lifting restraint more and more. They are manifesting as demons from hell in human bodies like aliens from “V” on the soil of the globe — with a bloodlust and desire for genocide and global dictatorship through the UN.
%20-%20Complete%20Series%20-%20MKV%201.jpg)
Barack Obama, whose name means Satan, is just that: Satan incarnate in human flesh appearing. Our reality has always been the “V” reality. Judas was a devil. Cain was of that wicked one. Jacob God loved but Esau He hated. Why did God reject Esau?? Because Esau was a devil in human flesh appearing born from hell into a human body like “V”. These devils in human flesh appearing are before of old ordained to condemnation because they are in a state of entire blasphemy at their spiritual core with no power to change as men — no power to believe. The die was cast from their position in hell as fallen angels — from which they were sown as the devil’s seed and tares into human flesh appearing as men. They cannot be saved in this life nor do they have “free will” to “choose Christ”. They are the devil and his angels in human flesh appearing like “V”.
Judas was a devil per Jesus Christ. The reprobate on the left of Jesus are cast into the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Had Adam and Eve not fallen into sin, the devils from hell could not have been born in human flesh appearing as children of the devil, the spiritual seed of Satan, the reprobate. The reprobate are a separate race from hell being born into the human population through conception in sin since the fall of Adam and Eve. Had Adam and Eve not fallen, only the elect would have been born through Adam and Eve. But, due to the fall, the devil and his angels are being born as men in human flesh appearing. And, now, Satan is in the WH in human flesh appearing incarnate as Barack Hussein Obama.
Matthew 13:37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Judas was a devil per Jesus Christ. The reprobate on the left of Jesus are cast into the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Had Adam and Eve not fallen into sin, the devils from hell could not have been born in human flesh appearing as children of the devil, the spiritual seed of Satan, the reprobate. The reprobate are a separate race from hell being born into the human population through conception in sin since the fall of Adam and Eve. Had Adam and Eve not fallen, only the elect would have been born through Adam and Eve. But, due to the fall, the devil and his angels are being born as men in human flesh appearing. And, now, Satan is in the WH in human flesh appearing incarnate as Barack Hussein Obama.
Now we can understand what the scripture really means when it tells us that as we the saints fight the reprobate on earth, we do not fight flesh and blood but spiritual principalities and powers of darkness, the rulers of this evil age, spiritual wickedness in high places: DEVILS MADE MEN WHO ARE IN POSITIONS OF POWER ON EARTH through whom the kingdom of hell has access to earth. They ultimately seek to gain power over the saints to commit the genocide of humanity and destruction of earth in their plan as the 666 beast system.
The elect and the reprobate are completely separated spiritual races from differing spiritual origins. The origin of the elect is in the breath and body of Adam before Adam’s fall. The origin of the elect in the breath of God in and through Adam and in and through body of Adam before the fall was from Heaven. The origin of the reprobate is in the sin of Adam and through fallen flesh after the fall and their origin is in Satan from hell. The elect are a race from Heaven. The reprobate are a race from hell: the devil and his angels born in human flesh appearing.
Ephesians 6:10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Therefore, put on the full armor of God knowing that we are facing not mere men on this earth plane — but a “V” reality in which the devil and his angels are on earth in flesh appearing seeking global control of money and government and military power in order to institute the planned genocide of humanity and destruction of earth through the reign and rule of the 666 beast. This is “The New World Order”.
*Note the “date of arrival” of the V poster displayed right, signature line: November 3… which is a day of voting. See the one eye focus of the illuminati on the V poster. The elite “know who they are” — that they are devils incarnate in human flesh appearing seeking power of manifestation which will occur in the abomination of desolation as the days of Noah. The ALIENS who are the “V” and are the devils from hell in human flesh appearing who seek monetary, political, and military power among us say they arrive “November 3″. November 3 is the day of voting for President, 2008 — when the 666 beast “reportedly” (there is much voting fraud) “elected” to the office of POTUS. They seek to be the rulers of the darkness of this world, powers, principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places. They seek positions of power and authority in monetary, economic, political, and military structures — and they are as VAMPIRES who see to gain our submission to “this world governments” as “citizens of this world” (which we are citizens of Heaven). Thus the ALIEN INVASION has been here since the fall of Adam and produced the birth of Cain. Now, we move towards their day of INVASION in the Great Tribulation in the abomination of desolations as they move to take global control to institute the genocide of mankind and the destruction of earth. This is true Bible doctrine and prophesy… coming to pass.
We must recognize the race of devils among us functioning through the governments of man and separate from them in Declaration of Independence we have as citizens of Heaven under King Jesus on earth as saints from Heaven. This is one way of profession of faith I have put forth and exemplified in this Revelation 12 war that will produce transfiguration very soon.
They, the lost and the damned: the reprobate, are not to be pitied. Our false “pity” and false submission to false authority is how these spiritual vampires gain power to bring the saints under their global enslavement at the time of the end. Those who are counted worthy to escape Great Tribulation are not asleep and see these beasts for what they are. They are to be fully separated from internally knowing who and what they are — gathering as the church united in Jesus Christ under God in God’s Kingdom and arising through Jesus Christ and by the power of His blood in spiritual dominion over them. The weapons of our warfare are spiritual not carnal and mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Amen.
In Christ’s Kingdom and service,
Laura Lee

Below are two examples from this week alone roughly translated into English.
Pope may resign his office in April?
Countdown. Lack of a Pope by the end of the world
By Rosa Ramos, iOnline
According to the prophecy of S. Malachi, the final judgment may be closer to renounce the Pope instead of Pope
In recent weeks it has been speculated in the corridors of the Vatican about the possibility of Benedict XVI to come to resign in April – the month in celebrating seven years of his pontificate and 85 of life. If the resignation occurs, driven by a series of intrigues within the Roman curia who eventually reach the newspapers, the end of the world may be closer. At least so says a prophecy attributed to Saint Malachy, an Irish archbishop canonized more than 800 years.
It is said that around 1139, during a trip to Rome, where he was received by Pope Innocent II, S. Malachi has had a vision of the 112 popes who would assume command of the Church until the day of judgment. It turns out that Benedict XVI, the current Holy Father, is the number 111 on the list and some believe strongly that now you just need a Pope to the end of the world.
The epithets S. Malachi, the legend says, will have seen the 112 popes and wrote to each of them, enigmatic phrases in Latin. Benedict XVI, the number 111, appears as described olivae glory (the glory of the olive tree). Before the last conclave speculated, the purpose of prophecy, whether the next Pope would be the Benedictine order, whose symbol includes an olive branch. The truth is that Benedict is not Benedictine, but would eventually choose the name “Benedict” for his pontificate, and some historians have linked this name with S. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine Order.
Since the late Pope John Paul II, is described as laboris Solis (Labor of the Sun). The truth is that Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920, on the same day that a solar eclipse happened. When he was buried on 8 April 2005, another eclipse was seen in the American continent. Also there are those who relate the reference S. Malachi in the sun with the fact that John Paul II was born in Poland – in the east where the sun rises.
The last Pope The ultimate commander of the Church is described in the prophecy as Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman). And the text of S. Malachi adds the following, concerning the day of judgment: “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many upheavals, and then destroyed the seven-hilled city [Rome], and the formidable Judge will judge his people. End. “At these words the monk of Padua (also a prophet) will be added, as in the sixteenth century:” Rome will be destroyed and the criminal court judge trembling, triumphant, all peoples. “
Many of the followers of prophecy believe that the last Pope will be an Italian or someone who has grown up in the Vatican – hence the reference S. Malachi to a “Roman”. Since 1978 the main place of the Church is not occupied by an Italian and it is known, thanks to the latest crisis in the Vatican, that one wing of the curia has been calling for the successor of Benedict, an Italian – in order to return the Holy See to Rome.
Controversy also says that when he arrived in Rome S. Malachi hastened to tell all he had seen during the trip to Pope Innocent II – which will have been pleased to learn that the church would still have many years ahead. What is certain is that the text of the prophecy will be gone. Only found in 1590 and published five years later by the monk of Padua in the book “Lignum Vitae”. There are those who ensure that the prophecy is nothing but a fraud built at that time to promote Gregory XIV in the conclave. The prophecies are worth what they are worth, but not spinning, it is important to remember that the Mayan calendar also ends this year – which suggests to many that the world may end soon.

Vatican / POPE MURDER: THE HUNT “MOLE” (Watch the video)
Now that ratzinger blessed 120101105922 Vatican 250×166 medium / POPE MURDER: THE MOLE HUNT (Watch the video) the “bomb” exploded and his crash has hit the media around the world, the problem is not so much the content of that letter announcing the death of Benedict XVI in 12 months, (scoop of The Done daily), but to identify the “mole”. Who is the “deep throat”? Or rather, the pen sharper than a sword? “” The Pope died within 12 months? Maybe if he was very ill health, but a murder seems very difficult, at this time. It is true that the Pope is a bit ‘bruised, but a plot, let’s go … “. The source Affairs Vatican felt by many Italians have doubts on the alleged plot to kill Joseph Ratzinger Aloisius. He explains: “The passion for the anonymous letters and files is also here, Oltretevere. And let’s say that there are real fans of the genre. “If anything, the source states: “It ‘proof of the fact that Scola is becoming an increasingly credible papal candidate. And it is true that it is not a bertoniano. To which may well be a move made by someone to stir things up and see what happens. “He suggests: “The cardinal electors are men. And as these impressionable. There is already talk of the Third Secret of Fatima and the Prophecy of Malachi. “The response is then unearthly?
The FACTS-The news that there is a plot to kill the Pope is serious, very serious. Reflect for a moment. As far as revealed by the Journal of Labor Marco, the currently reigning pope, Benedict XVI, will die within 12 months. The news was contained in a document circulated in German at the Vatican “not to make that clear to many people” (but there are German or German-speaking priests in the Curia and there is the translator of Google), which tells of an alleged statement made in November 2011 in China by the current Archbishop of Palermo, Paolo Romeo, so unclear that, as he said last night Padellaro Antonio – the director of the Fact Daily during “Public Service”, the transmission of Michele Santoro – “Both sides of Cardinal thought that Romeo is planning an assassination attempt against the pontiff. ” For Padellaro have thought the interlocutors. We wait to hear the cardinal Romeo. Meanwhile he did not feel the Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, for whom it’s “ramblings”. FROM CHINA WITH TERROR-The author of the piece, Marco Lillo, who has obtained a document that Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, president emeritus of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei would be delivered to the Holy Father points out that: “The document speaks of mordkomplott , ie homicidal plot against the Pope This hypothesis is shown by the speakers who have spoken in China – during the trip in November 2011 – with the Archbishop of Palermo, Paolo Romeo. These subjects reported likely to Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos, the oldest of Paul Romeo. Castrillon, disturbed by what the archbishop said Romeo in China, leads precisely to the Pope. ” What the archbishop said? What the Pope will die within 12 months. Lillo said that Romeo did not speak of murder, says that this is a hypothesis stated by the speakers, but then proceeds to discuss the possible successor, ie the current Archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Angelo Scola, who would be unwelcome to Tarcisio Bertone, the Secretary of State. First question: why Romeo, which have already been nuncio in Italy, Pope did not report directly to the news of the plot?
THE OFFICIAL NEWS-Waiting to see more clearly, a search with the string “Paul Romeo China” made on the website of Sir, that is, the news agency of the CEI, to be restricted to the period 1 January 2011-31 December 2011, no be no reports of a trip to China by Cardinal Romeo. Neither the site of the Archdiocese of Palermo. Neither the agency ASCA archive. Not even on Zenit, agency very well informed of the Catholic world. Nothing on Adista. The Cardinal was Romeo in the Philippines at the beginning of his service as a diplomat of the Holy See, then worked on another. The relations between China and the Vatican, however, have officially broken since 1951 when Mao was expelled Catholic priests loyal to the Pope (in his eyes a foreign head of state) and then there are two churches: one officer, loyal to the Patriotic Association Beijing government. The other is the Catholic Church illegal and persecuted. Reports – always very erratic – were kept unofficially through the Community of Sant’Egidio, but then Bertone was centered entirely in the hands of him arousing not just a stomach ache. “But from here to kill the Pope runs there,” says the source. Second question: what did the cardinal Romeo in China – if indeed there was – in November 2011? The only news SIR important in China at that time speaks of the consecration of the bishop coadjutor of Yibin in Sichuan occurred (in China). But the press does not talk to Romeo.
I TRIED TO MURDER – It ‘s true that this pontiff was accompanied by an attempt of murder. Without prejudice to the incident on Christmas Eve 2009, when a woman threw him to the pope, here’s a list:
- September 19, 2010, London: Scotland Yard released without charge six men arrested on suspicion in the days leading to plot an assassination attempt against Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to England.
- August 17, 2011, World Youth Day in Madrid: a man of Mexican descent is arrested for plotting to attack with chemical demonstrators in the capital, wanted to contest the World Youth Day and the consequent presence of Pope Benedict XVI in Spain.
- Again: September 24, 2011, Erfurt, Germany: shots fired gunshot hour before the Mass of Pope Benedict XVI. To shoot a deranged man who was barricaded in the house.
THE WORDS OF SOCCI-But in this climate becomes a disturbing post from the blog section of Antonio Socci, a famous Catholic writer and journalist. He wrote November 3, 2006 (http://www.antoniosocci.com/2006/11/chi-vuol-uccidere-il-papa-e-noi-possiamo-difenderlo/): “I support the call of Father Livio, Radio Maria, to pray for the Pope, especially in the days of his trip to Turkey (…). The Pope is in danger. We’re writing, as observers, for a month and a half (…) and today we have some more serious reasons to do it again and recommend the cancellation of the trip to Turkey (from 28 November to 1 December. “Let’s see:” What is happening today? After the pope’s speech in Regensburg (the speech that sparked anger in the Islamic world more extreme due to the misinterpretation of some words from the pope about the Muslims, ed), September 15 last year, it was the Prime Minister Erdogan turkish Muslim statesman who launched the attack against the most astonishing and arrogant Pontiff. By requiring even an apology. Now it is known that the same Erdogan has invented a pretext and not meet with the Pope “(in reality the two met, Ed.) Socci continues: “Probably not to alienate consensus ahead of the elections. Why Turkish hostility to the Pope is spreading and is both religious and political.”. And, remember the journalist, “Somewhere month in Turkey a disturbing book has conquered the peaks of the sales. It is titled: “Attack on the Pope Who will kill Benedict XVI in Istanbul.” It ‘a thriller, of course, pure fantasy, but it has done much to discuss its success and context in which it came out. Its author, Yucel Kaya, in a recent interview, he did very inteligenti considerations: “In the days of the visit the pope’s security will be the first concern of the turkish state. My fear is another: that other persons may attempt on the life of the Pope, then doing the blame on Turkey. “For the record: the trip to Turkey took place peacefully and the Pope is safely back in Rome.
THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA AND THE PROPHECY OF Malachi-At this point, the yellow leaves from the reality in which we live and move in the transcendent. The source felt by business, in fact, cites the Third Secret of Fatima and the prophecy of Malachi. As is known, the third secret of Fatima speaks of a bishop “clothed in white” who is hit by gunshots and arrows and is killed at the foot of a hill full of crosses. Just then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was called to give a theological interpretation (which is clear from the outset that “No great mystery is revealed, the veil of the future is not torn.” The reading is commonly given is that in Third Secret sees the attack on May 13, 1981 in which John Paul II nearly died. The Polish Pope, now Blessed, was strongly convinced of this. And if, as someone whispers in the Vatican, was referring to the current Pope? course is that the Third Secret Benedict XVI resumed in May 2010 when, en route to Portugal, told reporters: “Beyond the mission of the suffering of the Pope, the message of Fatima is an indication of the reality of the future of the Church” . And again, alluding to the scandal of pedophile priests blew up in those days: “The Lord said that the Church will suffer until the end of time. And today we live in this particular way, the sufferings announced.” Similarly, the Prophecy Malachi seems even more disturbing: it is a collection of 112 verses in Latin attributed to St. Malachy of Armagh, which attaches a line to every pope since 1143. Benedict XVI, “Olivae Gloria” (the glory of the Olive) would be the next to last. After the prophecy heralds the arrival of a “Petrus Romanus” (Peter Roman) which will lead Rome towards the end. Who is Peter Romano? A Cardinal of the Curia? Then he can not be Angelo Scola, who is cardinal in Milan. But at this point we get into the crazy and absurd hypotheses.
PREVIOUS HISTORY-From Paul VI, who suffered two attacks in the early ’70s, the death of Albino Luciani, or John Paul I, who always raises many questions, through the 4 attacks suffered by John Paul II including that of May 13, 1981, it is undeniable that the Pope is a security risk. But think about a murder in the next 12 months is difficult. It’s all too nebulous.
“This,” says Fabio Marchese Ragona “on Tgcom” is the latest document released by Secretary of State that is delivered to a certain newspapers with the aim of destabilizing the balance of the Curia, the Pope hit (seen as Only a Pontiff and disinterested government vatican) and most directly hit his closest collaborator, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. Before the death threats to the Secretary of State (arrive on his desk in the form of anonymous letters), then the case of Bishop Viganò (where Bertone is the villain, which removes Viganò because it makes cleaning the curia), then again the IOR affair and now the letter in German that contains within it (it seems a stretch, but the thing that stands out most) yet another blow to Bertone. Confidential documents and confidential, from the office led by a close associate of Ratzinger and published with the aim of intimidating perhaps, possibly send signals very precise. One thing is certain: the old guard, entrenched for decades in the Secretary of State, has never digested the arrival a few years ago, the new “ruling class”, headed by Cardinal Bertone (a few years ago was attacked by the press also the mere fact of being a Salesian, guilty of choosing collaborators Salesians). And so now all the nodes come home to roost, “is a showdown,” says someone in the Sacred Palaces, in view of a future conclave (hopefully as far as possible) and to obtain a change of guard in the Secretary of State. That did not happen: Despite the attacks, the print campaign and venomous whispers, the Pope, a good German, will remain firm on his positions, he will not be intimidated for sure. Even if it comes to deadly conspiracy. ” “This is clearly ramblings that should not be taken seriously in any way.” The Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, called so ‘as stated in the “document”. “It ‘s entirely without foundation” that is attributed to Cardinal Paolo Romeo, The Done newspaper. It says the archbishop of Palermo who reported “seems so out of reality ‘does not have to be taken into any consideration.”
Malachi’s prophecy
“We do not know the exact dates back to when and by whom it was actually written the famous” Prophecy of the Popes “, also known as the Prophecy of St. Malachy, says the site” the ultimopapa. Com “,” as attributed to the Cistercian monaco Irish Malachi, who would have written in the medieval period (around 1140), but it sure has been published for the first time in 1595 by the Benedictine WION Arnold in his book Lignum Vitae.
The Irish Saint Malachy Prophecy indicates in a list – which would have seen in a dream – of the Popes who were followed from 1143 until the end of the day. But do not indicate by name and surname, but with 111 short Latin mottos reflect the many Popes, while under the motto of 111 ° there is a disturbing sentence: “In persecutione extrema sacrae romanae ecclesiae sedebit Petrus Romanus, here pascet oves in multis tribulationibus; quibi transactis, civitas Septis diruetur collis, and Judex tremendus judicabit populum suum. Amen. “
The Italian translation of this important phrase is: “During the last persecution of the Holy Roman Church will sit Peter the Roman, who is to shepherd his flock among many tribulations; when these are completed, the seven-hilled city will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. And so be it. “
Here are the slogans that correspond to the most recent Popes (immediately after the list you will also find that of the 111 th Pope Benedict XVI that is):
110 °) John Paul II (1978-2005) – Motto “De labore solis”
The motto attributed to Pope John Paul II (b. 18/5/1920 m. 04/02/2005), “Fatigue of the Sun” is a clear reference to the fact that he was born on the day of a solar eclipse, and that his “farewell” has coincided with an eclipse, a double circumstance extremely rare.
109 °) Pope John Paul I (1978) – Motto “De medietate lunae”
The Prophecy of St. Malachy (“half moon”) seems to have provided so impressive, even in the case of Pope John Paul I (b. 17/10/1912 m. 28.09.1978), the fact that his brief pontificate (which lasted just 33 days) began and ended when the Moon was visible exactly in half. More appropriate than that …
108 °) Paul VI (1963-1978) – Motto “Flos Florum”
Pope Montini (No. 26/9/1897 m. 06/08/1978) was the “flower of flowers”, and in fact the family Montini had three lilies in their arms. Another typical kind of motto (guessed) Prophecy of the Popes.
107 °) John XXIII (1958-1963) – Motto “Pastor et Nauta”
He (b. 25/11/1881 m. 03/06/1963) was Patriarch of Venice before becoming pope, whence “pastor and mariner”. Without doubt one of the many sayings that are well attached to the character.
106 °) Pius XII (1939-1958) – Motto “Pastor Angelicus”
This Pope (b. 2/3/1876 m. 10/09/1958) of great spirituality in some encyclicals recognized as the surest guide to Catholic doctrine, the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, traditionally known as “The Doctor angelic. ” Hence, perhaps, “Angelic Pastor”.
105 °) Pius XI (1922-1939) – Motto “Fides intrepid”
He (b. 31/5/1857 m. 10/02/1939) challenged without fear of Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler, suffering, as shown by Vatican documents recently released, very strong pressure from the latter two. In ’37 he published the encyclical Mit Brennender rises to denounce racism and Nazi anti-Semitism. So he was right in “Faith fearless.”
104 °) Benedict XV (1914 -1922) – Motto “Religio depopulata”
Pope (b. 21/11/1854 m. 22/01/1922) during the massacres of the Great War and the outbreak of “Spanish”, events that resulted in the deaths of millions of Christians, and in 1917 saw the beginning of Russian Revolution that led to the demise of religious life in this country previously Christian. Hence the motto of “religion depopulated.”
103 °) Pius X (1903-1914) – Motto, “Ignis Ardens”
This Pope (b. 2/6/1835 m. 20/08/1914) was probably the most zealous propagandist of his time and his efforts were directed to promote piety and faith. “Fire burning” describes very well Pius X, whose face was a zealous commitment to the spiritual rebirth of the Church.
102 °) Leo XIII (1878-1903) – Motto “Lumen in coelo”
The last Pope of the nineteenth century (b. 2/3/1810 m. 20/07/1903) was “a light in the sky”, and in fact the symbol of his family, that of Pecci, was a comet. Note that the motto does not use the word “star” because it is already used in a previous similar motto.
101 °) Pius IX (1846-1878) – Motto “Crux de Cruce”
The Pope of the Renaissance (b. 13/5/1792, m. 07/02/1878), who suffered harassment and kidnappings by the Savoy, was “The cross (ie, pain) that comes from the Cross” and a large cross white on a red field is the coat of arms, in fact, the Savoy.
- 100 °) Gregory XVI (1831-1846) – Motto “De Balneis Etruriae”
Pope Gregory XVI (b. 18/9/1765, m. 06/01/1846) began his religious life in the order of Camaldoli, which was founded in the thirteenth century in Etruria, in a place called in Latin “balneum”. Of course, it is theoretically incorrect to try to interpret the theme of Pope Benedict XVI at the moment, because some of the other witticisms can esssere list included only at the end of the pontificate. However, to satisfy curiosity:
111 °) Benedict XI (2005-ruler) – Motto “De gloria Olivae”
The motto of Pope Ratzinger (b. 4/16/1927), “the glory of the olive,” seems a clear reference to the name Benedict, since members of the Benedictine order are also known as the Olivetans, whose emblem is just an olive branch. But, above all, he was born on Holy Saturday, 1927 April 16, at the height of the Easter season, and the total period is known under the sign of the olive

Ten years before an alien craft crashed onto rancher Mack Brazel’s property near Roswell, New Mexico, a flying saucer lost control and crashed onto the countryside of Nazi Germany. This incredible story—covered-up by both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. for more than 70 years—is allegedly the actual basis for the Nazi’s intense research into wingless, disc aircraft; Hitler’s and Himmler’s near obsession with exotic technology and flying saucers; and the incredible experiments by S.S. physicists that culminated with flying saucers and the ‘Bell’—a bizarre multi-dimensional motor that neutralized gravity and ripped a gash into the very fabric of the time-space continuum creating incredible and horrific effects.
Similiar saucer alleged to have crashed in USSR, 1950s
The Third Reich’s saucer
In 1937, as Nazi Germany was rising from the ashes of the old German Republic and becoming the world’s first real superpower, an incredible thing happened: aliens crashed their distressed craft into the German countryside. [Secret Treaty: The United States Government and Extra-terrestrial Entities]
The German army was there to pick up the pieces. No record exists, however, indicating whether any bodies were also retrieved.
When word of the crashed disc made ir’s way back to the German High Command and the report landed on the Führer’s desk, he immediately ordered elements of the Luftwaffe and Germany’s top aeronautical experts to sift through the remains. Ostensibly, the damaged saucer was moved into a warehouse facility under 24-hour guard near the Rhine. Some parts were also flown to a facility near the Austrian border.
Allegedly, members of the teams that worked on the advanced alien technology were from the Luftwaffe, the Speer Ministry of Arms headed by Albert Speer, and the formal research council, the “Reichsforschungrat,” composed of university professors and industrial engineers.
Horton brothers of flying wing fame were consulted
The teams were assembled to reverse engineer what was salvaged and among the experts called upon were the Horton brothers—who later designed and tested revolutionary flying wing aircraft and the world’s first stealth jet fighter-bomber. Some of their resulting technology may have been gleaned from intense study of the alien craft, although that cannot be proven.
Genius Viktor Schauberger invented the imploder vortex motor
Later, the expertise of Viktor Schauberger was tapped. He was the inventor of the revolutionary imploder motor that created an imploding vortex.
Nazi experiment with anti-gravity device, the Glocke
That motor may have been the basis for later S.S. experiments in Poland with the notorious Glocke (Bell) device that reportedly created inter-dimensional rifts in space-time. [The S.S. Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis' Incredible Secret Technology]
Renato Vesco’s books on the Nazi flying saucer research programs
Italian researcher Renato Vesco, in his classic and well-researched book, Intercept – But Don’t Shoot: The True Story of the Flying Saucers asserts that the Nazis were working on many advanced propulsion systems and rudimentary anti-gravity devices to power their disc-shaped, or lenticular, aircraft.
German schematic of an advanced disc version
Alien craft spurred German’s engineering efforts
Although vastly influenced by the capture of an actual disc, research into circular aircraft had been going on as far back as the experiments in Italy before 1920 with crude jets attached to aerodynamic discs. [Hitler's Flying Saucers]
The ET craft served to advance propulsion, electronics and provided clues to workable designs, but the scientists were at a loss regarding the metallurgy as the craft was composed of materials unknown to them and impossible to duplicate in the lab.
Some of Germany’s most advanced theoretical engineers and physicists were personally tasked by Hitler to get the technology working and make it available for the war effort. In that regards, geniuses like Ballenzo, Habermohl, Miethe and Schriever were recruited.
Artist’s interpretation of first Nazi disc built by Schriever
Documents captured by the Allies after the war ended indicate that Schriever was the first to have some success with the disc technology. His own research, augmented by what had by then been deduced from the retrieved saucer, enabled him to build a working craft powered by specially designed jet engines. The craft, however, was unstable. The first two versions ended in disasterous crashes killing the test pilots. [Man-Made UFOs, 1944-1994: Fifty Years of Suppression]
Tides of war turn, Nazis expand saucer projects
As the years advanced and the Allies began counter-attacking Germany, some Nazi officials began pressuring Schauberger to adapt a verson of his Repulsine imploder to serve as the motive force for a different type of disc craft using the vortex propulsion motor.
Viktor Schauberger’s incredible implosion motor
German saucer designed around the imploder motor
Although the Nazi engineers and scientists built their first experimental saucers from light steel or heavy aluminum, the steel still proved too heavy and the aluminum too soft and not tough enough to withstand the stress subjected to it when molded into a lens-shaped craft.
Frustrated scientists finally gave up trying to unravel the mystery of the alien metal and succeeded in creating their own version with an alloy of aluminum and magnesium in 1944. The new alloy was exactly what they needed to design bigger and better craft. The metal was light, yet more durable than simple aluminum.
Primitive experimental propeller-driven disc airplane never saw production
Hitler pressed the engineers onwards with greater frenzy. Germany was now suffering nightly bombing raids and factories across the country had been moved to gigantic underground facilities. Aircraft production lines were being hampered and destroyed and the rocket facility run by Werner von Braun at Peenemünde was not back up to full capacity after being bombed in 1943.
Slave laborers, mostly Slavic, were pressed into service to produce V-2 rockets, advanced aircraft, synthetic fuel, high explosives…and incredible remote-controlled flying saucers.
Nazi Kugelblitz attack Allied bombers over Germany
The astounding Nazi Kugelblitz
According to documents and the testimony of surviving Polish slave laborers, the Germans actually created an assemblyline to manufacture a flying disc weapon called the Kugelblitz (ball lightening).
The Allied pilots called them Foo-fighters.
The Kugelblitz was the first real flying saucer ever manufactured by any nation on Earth. Several of the tests were secretly attended by Hitler and his S.S. chief, Heinrich Himmler.
Rare daylight photo of Nazi Kugelblitz trailing bomber
According to captured documents, the radio-controlled craft were made in the underground factories at Thuringia and the craft varied in size from 10 to 15-feet across. Reportedly they were amazingly manueverable and were able to achieve speeds of more than 1,250 miles per hour. They emitted a strong electo-static field designed to disrupt the electrical circuits of conventional aircraft causing enemy planes to falter, dive, and crash.
Other saucers
Prototypes of other saucers were designed and engineering mock-ups were made. Some made it as far as wind tunnel tests. A few disc craft other than Schriever’s early attempts were constructed and flown.
About 18 months before the Germans surrendered, Hitler pinned his hopes—and those of Germany—on the incredible potential of a mind-boggling array of superweapons. The greatest of the weapons were his new class of Vengeance weapons.
Germany’s planned hypersonic cruise missile V-3
The old V-weapons were the rocket plane V-1 and intracontinental missile V-2. Hitler’s dream envisioned the world’s first cruise missile: a V-3 sub-orbital, intercontinental hypersonic rocket capable of hitting New York and Washington.

And then there were the flying saucers…

S.S. Reichsführer Himmler recommended S. S. Grupenführer Hans Kammler to head the saucer projects and save the Fatherland. Hitler agreed.
Saucer chief: S.S. Grupenführer Hans Kammler circa 1944
Later Kammler is said to have overseen the Glocke project as well.
Undoubtedly, Germany’s superweapons—specifically those they were perfecting in the closing months of the war—would have defeated the Allies and helped Germany conquer and rule Western and Eastern Europe, suppress the U.S.S.R., and keep America neutered—even with the new atomic weapon the U.S. had developed.
But the Germans ran out of time.
Some argue that no matter what the Nazis had, they could not have staved off American atomic attacks. Yet evidence exists that in the final weeks of the war the Germans successfully detonated their own low-yield atomic bomb and that coupled with stealth aircraft, the imploder vortex motor, advanced television bombs, the hypersonic V-3 “Amerika Bomb,” and flying saucer fighters—ostensibly augmented with harvested alien technology—would have sealed the fate of the Nazi’s enemies…
…and perhaps Adolf Hitler would have attained his twisted dream of a Thousand Year Reich.

“Keep your nose to the ground and your eyes to the sky.”

In just a decade, Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York City, has risen from a local bishop to becoming a prince of the Catholic Church. He returned from Rome after receiving his cardinal’s red hat and ring, like a rock star; a bevy of cameras and lights in tow.
Worldwide buzz around the newly minted Cardinal Dolan is that with his popularity, political savvy, and passion for the church, the question is being raised as to whether he could be the first American pope.
And it’s more than just wishful thinking.
“There is something qualitatively different about the speculation surrounding Cardinal Dolan in New York right now,” John Allen, senior correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter, said.
Dolan, the shepherd of New York’s nearly three million Catholics, was coy when a journalist in Rome posed the question, answering only “Um, non parlo inglese,” meaning, “I don’t speak English”
And again on his home turf, he was equally evasive, pointing to his ears and claiming the jet lag was still affecting his hearing.
Predicting who the next pope is never a sure bet. In 1978 no one saw a Polish pope, Karol Woytyla, who became John Paul II. And in 2005, many thought Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Benedict VXI, was too old, too European and too controversial.
Papal politics, says Allen, is not like the Iowa caucuses, candidates don’t declare themselves, you don’t have yard signs and bumper stickers. The cardinals choose the pope’s successor in secret conclave at the Vatican, after the death of a sitting pope.
Americans, though, have always been considered long shots. Conventional wisdom holds that the nation’s super power status runs counter to the Church’s outreach mission. And, Dolan himself lacks a mastery of foreign languages, useful skills that other popes possessed as head of a global church.
Still, the possibility of an American as the next Bishop of Rome has never been so strong Allen, whose latest book, “A People of Hope”, is a lengthy interview with then Archbishop Dolan, says,
“With Timothy Dolan there is some of the JP II magic (Pope John Paul II). This guy is a rock star in any room he walks into. He exudes charisma, it’s almost as if its charisma on steroids. At a time when the Catholic Church is suffering from an image problem I think a lot of people see in Dolan someone who can put a positive face and voice on the Catholic message.”
Right now the message has turned political as the nation’s bishops, headed by Dolan, are embroiled in a high stakes showdown with the Obama administration over the contraceptive mandate in the Affordable Health Care Act. Allen concedes that if the bishops fail and lose this fight it might dim Dolan’s star. But, the perception is that Dolan has rung Obama’s bell, and the president is paying attention. As cardinal of the most prominent pulpit in America, Dolan has the platform to wield a powerful political punch.
In the end though, the next pope will only ostensibly be chosen by the cardinals. The faithful believe that ultimately God will raise up the man who is best fit for the task.
The mole claims to be one of more than 20 people within the Holy See who have leaked sensitive documents to the Italian media in the last few weeks, in an affair that has been compared to the WikiLeaks scandal and dubbed “Vati-leaks”.
The unidentified man, who said he had worked in the Vatican for more than 20 years, made the claims in an interview to be aired on Italian television on Wednesday night.
His face was hidden and his voice digitally distorted when he appeared on the TV channel, La7.
According to extracts of the interview, the whistle-blower said the Vatican was engulfed in intrigue, secrecy and a climate of intimidation.
“Maybe there is a kind of omerta to prevent the truth from surfacing. Not because of a power struggle but maybe because of fear,” he added.
He claimed to have worked in the State Secretariat, which is led by the powerful but unpopular Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone, who is reported to have fallen out of favour with the Pope and his supporters.
The whistle-blower said the Vatican is a place where “you can commit a murder and then disappear into the void” – a reference to a murky scandal in the Swiss Guard in 1998, when a young soldier shot dead the corps’ commander and wife before apparently committing suicide.
The mother of Cedric Tornay, 23, the alleged assassin, has never accepted that her son would have committed suicide and has called on Pope Benedict XVI, 84, to reopen the case, amid speculation that the real killer of the three may never have been caught.
There have been long-standing accusations of an official cover-up by the Roman Catholic Church, with numerous conspiracy theories put forward for a possible motive.
The leaks have embarrassed the Vatican in recent weeks, with claims of corruption and nepotism, questions over the transparency of the Vatican bank and unconfirmed reports of an assassination plot against the Pope within the next 12 months.
The whistle-blower dismissed suggestions that documents were being leaked in exchange for money.
“Something like that is inconceivable for me. That would mean betraying what we believe in,” he said.
He urged the Vatican to reinvestigate “with zeal” one of its most enduring mysteries – the kidnap of teenager Emanuela Orlandi nearly 30 years ago.
Over the years it has been claimed that Miss Orlandi was kidnapped so that she could be used as a bargaining chip for the release from prison of Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman who tried to kill John Paul II in St Peter’s Square in 1981.
Another theory is that the girl’s father, a Vatican employee, had stumbled on documents that connected the Vatican bank with a criminal gang in Rome and that she was kidnapped in a bid to silence him.
It has even been suggested that the kidnapping was carried out on the orders of a Catholic archbishop, Paul Marcinkus, the disgraced head of the Vatican bank, known as the ‘Istituto per le Opere di Religione’. Marcinkus, an American, died six years ago.
