In Spain's equivalent of TIME Magazine (1) we read the following in
the financial section:
In
spite of the tensions experienced in the (world financial) markets, the
Spanish Treasure intended to place 3 billion Euros payable in 12 and 18
months, and was able to. However, the price was much higher interest
rate than before - 5.074% compared to a previous rate of 2.985 %.
What was really interesting was
that investors wanted to buy not only 3 billion Euros of Spanish debt,
they wanted to buy 5.3 billion Euros worth of debt.
Comment:
There is something very wrong with that picture, but completely
consistent with what we published on June 17th and 19th.
Think! If the economy of Spain is in tatters as "they" are trying to
convince the world forcing Spain to finally seek European Union
assistance, which came with "controls", only insane investors
would be willing (clamoring!) to buy debt of a country which is in such
state.... or only those who know that Spain's finances are not in such
state and that, with the outside controls in place, their investment is
secure.
This is the latest Moody's evaluation of Spain's financial state:
Moody's Investor Service on Monday cut its
credit ratings on 28 Spanish banks, saying the weakening
financial condition of Spain's government is making it more difficult
for that country to support its lenders. (2)
We certainly are not investment or financial experts but it seems to us
that this is, as the saying goes, a "no brainer".

Nation bakes as serious heat wave hits early. (1)
If you're feeling hot this week, it's

Authorities may never know why a Florida man
viciously attacked and chewed on the face of an older homeless man in
Miami last month after lab tests failed to find components of "bath
salts" in the system of the assailant, who was killed by police. (1)
The tests detected only marijuana
in the system of the attacker, the medical examiner said
Wednesday, ruling out other street drugs that some had speculated
31-year-old Rudy Eugene might have taken.
An expert on toxicology testing said marijuana alone wasn't likely to
cause behavior as strange as Eugene's.
The department ruled out the most common components found in so-called
bath salts, which mimic the effects of cocaine or methamphetamine and
have been associated with bizarre crimes in recent months. An outside forensic toxicology
lab, which took a second look at the results, also confirmed the
absence of bath salts, synthetic marijuana and LSD.
It's not clear what led to the May 26 attack on Ronald Poppo, a
65-year-old homeless man. Eugene's
friends and family have said he was religious, not violent and that he
didn't drink or do drugs harder than marijuana.
"There's no answer for it, not really," Eugene's younger brother,
Marckenson Charles, said in an interview. "Anybody who knew him knows this
wasn't the person we knew him to be. Whatever triggered him,
there is no answer for this."

The Pope signed a decree that recognizes the
'heroic virtues' of Alvaro del Portillo. He was the first successor
of St. Josemaría Escrivá, who founded the Opus Dei.
He was also his closest collaborator. (1)
This step is actually key, as his
beatification process goes further. It means, that Benedict XVI
recognizes that "Don Alvaro" exemplified Christian virtues in his life.
The Vatican is already analyzing a documented miracle that's attributed
to the intercession of Álvaro del Portillo. If it's approved by
experts, theologians and of course the Pope, his beatification could
follow.
Alvaro del Portillo was born in Madrid, Spain in 1914. His mother was
Mexican, his father was Spanish. He studied Civil Engineering,
Philosophy and Theology.
He was one of the first members of the Opus Dei and one of St.
Escriva's main collaborators. In fact it was him who encouraged
Portillo to become a priest.
He took part in preparing the Second Vatican Council and in that
Council, he also served as Secretary of the Commission for the
Discipline of the Clergy and Christian People. This commission issued
the Presbyterorum Ordinis decree, which deals with the role of priests.

On Saturday, June 16, San Francisco's Most Holy Redeemer Parish
again hosted the Switch Hitters Ball, an annual fundraiser for the San
Francisco Gay Softball League. (1)
The parish has hosted the event each year since 2007. Video of this
year's 'ball' has already been posted on YouTube.
The 'switch hitter' in the annual event's title does not refer to a
batter who is able to hit from both sides of the plate; it refers
instead to the transvestite nature of the 'entertainment' that takes
place at the ball.” In other words, a Catholic parish is providing a
venue for a drag show.
A by-no-means exhaustive list of past events held at Most Holy Redeemer
includes:
(a) the Sisters
of Perpetual Indulgence Revival Bingo (cancelled by the archdiocese
under outside pressure);
(b) annual fundraisers by two sado-masochistic
organizations -- the InterClub Fund and the Golden Gate Guards
(cancelled by the archdiocese under outside pressure);
(c) the 2007 Desperate Dive Drag Show, followed
a week later by Archbishop George Niederauer's Mass at the church
during which he was ambushed by two Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in
the communion line and for which the archbishop later publicly
apologized;
(d) annual parish participation at the Gay
Pride parade (cancelled by the archdiocese under outside pressure);
(e) the scheduled May 2010 performance by
students of Sacred Heart High School of Atherton of the pro-homosexual
propaganda play Be Still and Know (cancelled by the archdiocese under
outside pressure, but performed instead at the Jesuit-run University of
San Francisco),

F.T.C. Charges Hotel Group Over Data Breaches
The Federal Trade
Commission charged Wyndham Worldwide and three hotel and resort
affiliates on Tuesday with allowing three breaches of its corporate
data files in two years, resulting in the electronic theft of the credit
card data of hundreds of thousands
of the hotel chain's customers.
In a lawsuit filed in Federal District Court in Arizona,
the F.T.C. said that Wyndham, which through its affiliates manages and
franchises Ramada, Days Inn and Super 8 hotels, among others, often
stored consumers' credit card information in text files that were
easily read by hackers. Three times from April 2008 to January 2010,
intruders gained access to the company's computer systems, the agency
said, and the company failed
to take corrective measures after each of the first two breaches.

F.B.I. Says 24 Are Arrested in
Credit Card Theft Plan (1)
For hackers in search of information
like credit card numbers and software to spy on computers, the site
called Carder Profit appeared to be a veritable eBay for thieves.
Instead, it was a creation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
On Tuesday, after a two-year undercover operation, authorities in 13 countries
arrested two dozen people who are accused of fraud involving
computer crime.
Federal officials said Operation Card Shop, as the sting is being
called, was unusually broad and represented a significant step in
combating credit card fraud, which has grown notably more sophisticated
recently. "These guys represent the complete ecosystem of Internet
fraud," said one senior law enforcement official who requested
anonymity because of the confidentiality of the investigation. "We drew
them out of the shadows with the Web site as bait."
Hackers have become increasingly successful recently in obtaining
credit card information and other personal data, sharing it on secure
Web sites, often on overseas servers. Last
year, hackers in Eastern Europe obtained the names, account numbers,
e-mail addresses and transaction histories of more than 200,000
Citibank customers.

This year, the Archdiocese of New York has ordained only one priest for its cadre of clergy.
Three other men were ordained with him - but one is a Franciscan, and
two are from a Canadian diocese, who are returning there. (1)
"The number of seminarians has been
declining, in New York and
nationally, since the 1960s. St. Joseph’s, the New York Archdiocese’s
stately limestone seminary in Yonkers, opened in 1896 with room for
180 students. It graduated 25 or 30 men annually through the
mid-1970s, but since the mid-1990s, most graduating classes have
had fewer than 10 priests.
Before this year, the archdiocese’s smallest graduating class was in
1998, with two priests...The archdiocese estimates that it would need
20 new priests a year to fill all open positions and allow priests to
retire as they age....
Being the archdiocese’s sole member of the Class of 2012 is a
slightly uncomfortable distinction for Father Patric D’Arcy, 33, a
soft-spoken man who prefers to stay out of the spotlight. He is not a native New Yorker, nor
even an American citizen....
He has already signaled to his fellow priests that he intends
to take a conservative approach to his calling. Father D’Arcy chose to
celebrate the Mass the day after his ordination in Latin, in an unusual
move for New York, and asked Msgr. Javier Garcia, vicar secretary for Opus Dei in the United
States, to give the homily....
Next year, eight men are expected to graduate from St. Joseph’s to
become new priests of the archdiocese, and in 2014, six are expected.
“I think the pendulum is beginning to swing back up,” said Bishop
Gerald T. Walsh, the rector of the seminary...."
Comment:
The level of denial and spiritual blindness of both
D'Arcy and Walsh are amazing. Perhaps it is because the
status of St. Joseph's Seminary: A "virtual" Opus Dei seminary. (2)

'Big Brother'? No, It's Parents. (1)
When her children were ready to have
laptops of their own, Jill Ross bought software that would keep an eye
on where they went online. One day it offered her a real surprise. She
discovered that her 16-year-old daughter had set up her own video
channel.
Parents can now use an array of tools to keep up with the digital lives
of their children, raising new quandaries. Is surveillance the best way
to protect children? Or should parents trust them to share if they are
scared or bewildered by something online?
If, a few years ago, the emphasis was on blocking children from going
to inappropriate sites on the family computer, today's technologies
promise to embed Mom and Dad - and occasionally Grandma - inside every
device that children are using, and gather intelligence on them
wherever they go.
A smart phone application alerts Dad if his son is texting while
driving. An online service helps parents keep tabs on every chat, post
and photo that floats across their children's Facebook pages. And
another scans the Web in case a child decides to try a new social
network that the grown-ups have not even heard of yet.
Comments:
If this type of surveillance equipment is available to the average
citizen, you can imagine what is available to the authorities and
criminals as well.
With the legitimate authorities, that does not present a problem as
long as: (a) There is not a
misunderstanding and wrong conclusions are drawn; or (b) The
one Universal Government, forced upon the world (if we ever get that
far), is very brief.
We just finished reviewing an objective and condensed recount of the
purges in the Soviet Union during Stalin's "reign" and words fail us to
describe the horrors associated with them. If the above
described technique had been available to him, the number of "official
and legitimate murders" would have been several times greater than they
were. Granted, no one can go back in time and place such devices in
Stalin's hands, but we do
have a "Stalin or two" waiting to make its
Grand Entrance in the 21st century.

Court strikes down most of Arizona immigration law, but leaves
key provision in place. (1)
The Supreme Court has struck down most
of the controversial Arizona immigration law, but upheld for now a key provision
that required police officers to check the immigration status of those
they suspect may be in the country illegally.
The provision on mandatory checks during routine stops will now kick
back to a lower court for review, and could still be subject to
challenge. The rest of the ruling, though, definitively strikes down
three other provisions in Arizona's controversial law.
Those provisions had made it a crime for immigrants to look for work
without work permits and to not carry their immigration papers, and let
police arrest those whom they suspect committed crimes for which they
could be deported.

Portugal comments: In my days in Engineering it was a
common practice amongst middle management to place what was called "a
hairy arm" in proposals to upper management. The idea was to give them
something that they could complain about and summarily delete from the
proposal. The upper management, which traditional did not understand
"beans" of the realities on the ground, felt fulfilled: They had
"managed" and eliminated something that "should have never been there
in the first place", they thought.... while we got past them every
other thing we wanted in the proposal!
In Arizona's case it was the reverse. They struck everything down
except what was really wanted: The
requirement that police officers check the immigration status of those
they suspect may be in the country illegally. The "papers, please" trick, to legally
have a closer control on all
of the population.
That apparently innocuous clause will spread to other states like any
virus that would help big Pharma sell vaccines.
In Spain and Portugal, for example, the tactic is different. Since
there are no borders in the European Union, the only way that they
could pull the "papers, please"
trick, and not be accused of
being xenophobes, was to do
it for your own benefit, of
course.... In nationwide campaigns to allegedly reduce traffic
accidents due to drug or alcohol use, vehicles are frequently stopped
and, besides giving the driver a test for alcohol and/or drugs, his
papers and those of any
other occupant in the vehicle are requested, as well as the
vehicle documents.
Recently, all vehicular
traffic entering the city of Porto (Portugal's second largest
city) during a period of 2-4 hours (I cannot remember the exact figure)
were stopped and checked... for their own good, of course.
Oh, yes.... the government is Spain is about to increase the speed
limit on the freeways to 81 mph.... which we are sure will also help
reduce traffic accidents.....

Giving more details about the Fox News man appointed News
"Spin-Master" for the Vatican....
Greg Burke, 52, will leave Fox News to
become the senior
communications adviser in the Vatican's secretariat of state, the
Vatican and Burke told The Associated Press.
He defined his job,
which he said he had been offered twice before, as being along the
lines of the White House senior communications adviser: 'You're
shaping the message, you're molding the message, and you're trying to make sure everyone remains on-message.
And that's tough.'
Burke, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, is a member of the conservative Opus Dei
movement.
He said he didn't know what, if any, role his membership in Opus Dei
played.
Opus is greatly in favor in the Vatican these days, particularly as
other new religious movements such as the Legion of Christ have lost
credibility with their own problems. Currently, for example, the
cardinal who is heading the Vatican's internal investigation into the
leaks of documents is the Opus Dei prelate, Cardinal Julian Herranz.
"I'm an old-fashioned Midwestern Catholic whose mother went to Mass
every day," Burke said.
"Am I being hired because I'm in Opus Dei?" he asked. "It might come
into play." But he noted he was also in Opus when he was hired by Fox
and Time magazine.
Burke has been a Fox correspondent since he joined the U.S.
network in 2001. He was the Time magazine correspondent in Rome for a
decade before that." (1)
Comments:
"Am I being hired because I'm in Opus
Dei?" he asked - "No Greg,
that could not possibly be the reason..... The Vatican just wants to
insure that its news are... 'fair and balanced'".

A Fortnight for Lucifer?
The much ballyhooed "Fortnight For
Freedom" (1),
implemented by the USCCB (but obviously the brainchild of Opus Dei) is
now in full motion. I watched the opening mass at the
Baltimore Basilica, and the next day's Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral
(NYC).
At Baltimore we have the spectacle of Archbishop William Lori - a
'loyal son of Ratzinger' - ranting about morality.
This from a man who knowingly enabled and protected many clerical
child rapists in his former Connecticut diocese. And who, as the
national chaplain to the Knights of Columbus, smiled upon the lavishing
of millions of dollars on the Washington DC Basilica, while the poor
Black people in that city starve. And while sex abuse victims in his CT
diocese were humiliated, rebuked, and given mere pittance as
restitution.
Yet God can make His displeasure known in subtle ways. The pipe organ
in the Baltimore
Basilica was so horribly out of tune (and badly played) that it sounded
somewhere between a calliope and a roller skating rink.
At the Mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Cardinal Dolan and the
other clergy wore red chasuables..... which featured a
none-too-subtle Opus Dei cross, prominently.
Two ironies were obvious to me: The obviously steroid laden
NYPD cops (i.e. bodyguards) standing beside the clergy as they
administered "communion'. And the young Cantor - who impressed me as
the classic 'poster boy' for the Hitler Youth in appearance.
The "Fortnight For Freedom" (1) is an overt political
street theater.
A stunt. It serves to distract from the Vatican Bank scandals as well
as from
the ongoing sex abuse scandals, in the US and globally. The Prelates
are howling as if their food and clothing were being taken away. Crying
about 'oppression' and 'injustice'.
The Health and Human Services' (HHS) mandate merely requires employers
to provide comprehensive
insurance coverage. Nobody is being forced to have an abortion or to
use contraception. Yet they claim they are being forced to "pay for
it".
....yet I hear nothing of the true immorality that my taxes are used
to fund multiple wars the US is engaged in, which have resulted in the death or
maiming of vast numbers of people. "Thou shalt not kill"
does not have any qualifying clauses.
Or of the immorality of the Vatican Bank investments. Or of the
misuse of Church funds by priests and bishops for their personal
pleasure.(2)
While children pick garbage for food.
This "Fortnight for Lucifer" is two weeks of masses, rosaries, novenas,
speeches, rallies, marches.....
God's response: "..when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn
away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not
hear: for your hands are full of blood. " (Isaiah 1:15)

accused by another judge of the General
Council of the Judicial Power
to be spending sums of public money on long week-end personal trips to

The scandal was such that
Mr. Dívar has resigned. So far, no surprises. After all, the

However, other matters associated with the case have
surfaced; matters which caught our attention and are coherent with the
attack mounted against the Opus Dei by the other members of the already
mentioned Threesome of Saviors.
Mr. Dívar is single, of ample financial resources
and a daily communicant at Mass. If you add to this that he was the
Chief Justice in Spain, the only thing that he doesn't have is an Opus
Dei tattoo on his forehead.
Knowing well the culture in Spain - civil, political,
religious and opus deist - what happened to Mr. Dívar
indicates that hell "must be about to freeze over".
If we needed any confirmation to what we have announced
regarding the multilevel attacks on Opus Dei and their interests, Mr.
Dívar's case would have provided it.
Oh, yes, by the way.... The much talked about taxpayers
paid luxury weekend trips always included intimate candle lit dinners
for two at very expensive restaurants in Marbella. The "other" of the

The justices declined on Thursday to issue a broad ruling
on the constitutionality of the FCC indecency policy. Instead, the court concluded only that
broadcasters could not have known in advance that obscenities uttered
during awards show programs and a brief display of nudity on an episode
of ABC's NYPD Blue could give rise to sanctions.

Beatification bid for yet another Opus Dei member. (1)
The cause for the beatification of Dora
del Hoyo, one of the first collaborators of the founder of Opus Dei,
has been announced in Rome on June 18, reports the Catholic News Agency.
"Dora was of great importance for Opus Dei, for her fidelity and her
work perfectly finished, which was always accompanied by her humility
of passing unnoticed. This is why she was so effective until the end of
her life," said Bishop Javier Echevarria, the Prelate of Opus Dei, who
announced the cause at Rome's Pontifical University of the Holy Cross.
Born in Spain in 1914, Dora del Hoyo first came into contact with Opus
Dei's founder, Saint Josemaria Escriva, at the age of 29 when she was employed as a member
of the domestic staff in a Madrid student residence run by the
Catholic organization.
In 1946 she became the first woman to join Opus Dei as a "numerary
assistant."
Such members principally

that prohibited gays from serving openly in the military, gays and
lesbians can now be proud to be in uniform.
"Now you can be proud of serving your country, and be proud of who you
are," Panetta said.
The defense chief also said he's committed to removing as many barriers
as possible to making the military a model of equal opportunity.
Panetta's video message was part of a Pentagon salute to gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender troops as the Pentagon joined the rest of the
U.S. government for the first time in marking June as gay pride month.
miguel de Portugal comments: Unless barracks for homosexuals are
introduced, just like there are segregated male and female barracks,
major problems will eventually
develop. At this time it is just a moot point considering the
"schedule", but our leaders do not realize that yet.
We are just bringing this up as just another example of the major
disconnect between our leaders
and reality.
Having graduated from an all male military school, living in very spartan conditions, I
know that if the sexual orientation is not known no problems will
arise. I am sure that we must have had whatever nominal percentage of
homosexuals is normal in the US population, but since it was not known
"who was what" normalcy reigned. This is very important when one
is using communal showers, bumping knees with the fellow sitting in the
toilet next to you, and wearing only underwear almost year round, because
of the heat, whenever we were in our dorms.
I cannot even begin to imagine what it would have been like otherwise.
Yes, yes, we know: "Times have changed"
but regarding this particular
issue, we refer our readers to the Book of Genesis:
And
the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves
to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons.
[Genesis 3:7]
And that has not changed!

News Report No. 1
[our highlights]
"Welcome the the IOR (Vatican Bank), Don Corleone (0)"...
"In the latest
scandal to engulf the Pope a church official has warned that a "time
bomb" is about to explode over mafia money allegedly invested in the
Vatican bank....
Prosecutors are investigating claims a Sicilian mafia godfather
laundered cash through the Institute for Religious Works, as the bank
is officially known....
Last week, Benedict XVI, 85, implicitly denounced the leaks as
the work of the devil....
The new investigation into the Vatican bank focuses on Matteo
Messina Denaro, 50, a drugs and arms trafficker based in Trapani,
western Sicily. On the run for the past 19 years, he is suspected of 50
murders. "With the people I've killed, I could make a cemetery," he
is said to have boasted.
Prosecutors say go-betweens acting on his behalf opened accounts
worth several million dollars. A senior church official confided that
"tainted money" had been hidden in accounts.
'What has surfaced is only a splatter of lava; underneath there's
a timebomb, which is ready to explode,' said the official, speaking
anonymously to La Stampa newspaper.
Last month, the Pope dismissed the Trapani bishop and suspended
a priest who had in turn accused the bishop of holding accounts worth
millions at the Vatican bank." (1)
While...
The Opus Dei's virtual news department

"An

target the Pope’s private secretary, Georg Gänswein, and Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican's top administrator,
the publication noted, with the threatened publication of "hundreds" of
other secret documents if the two are not "kicked out” of the Vatican.
"This is blackmail," Vatican expert Marco Politi, was quoted
as saying. "It's like threatening total war." (2)

Greek voters gave a
majority to parties supporting the country's economic bailout, easing
worries about a break up in the euro zone and initially boosting
markets... (1)
but now the claims are...
While Greek euro exit fears have thus eased, this outcome
does little to alleviate the weak fundamentals that currently
weigh on

miguel
de
Portugal comments: As you may recall, on June 17th, we showed in
this same forum that although the media and the leaders of the Western
powers were at the border of hysteria because of the outcome of the
Greek elections, all key world financial markets closed with positive
gains on Friday 16th.
The "markets" were quite relaxed about the outcome because
"they" had made sure that
the outcome
would be
the desired one for their plans. Imagine if Greece had abandoned
the Euro! "They" would have lost control of that country.
[Remember that:
(a) We
do not take sides except God's; and (b) In this case "they" refer to
the faction of the Threesome of
Saviors (2)
who is battling Opus Dei.]
Now with Greece, Portugal and Ireland in "their" pocket,
"they" must
make sure that Spain and Italy are both securely rounded up too. That
will complete the total control of the key Catholic (if mostly by
name, but well infiltrated by Opus Dei) Western European
nations which composed by the original European Union and Euro-block.
So now the focus is to convince "the world" that Spain and
Italy
urgently need help; a help that they are most willing to offer as long as said countries
accept the controlling "conditions".
Notice that the "they" term does not include the
official governments of the countries in question, after all, they
were genuinely hysterical about the Greek elections just like everyone
else who was not "in the know".
Were we living in a "normal world" the main concern should
have been
the absolute majority gained by the Socialists in France's election -
right on the same day of the Greek elections. However, "they" are
glossing over that absolute majority gain.
But enough talk! Let us take a look at how the
worldwide markets
reacted to the election outcome in Greece, France and, let us not
forget, in the newly "liberated" Egypt where the military disbanded the
democratically elected congress just before the election.
At yesterday's closing, the world markets showed caution
but with no
major losses and a few gains -
Asia included - with the exception of Spain who posted an almost 3 %
loss in the Market and achieved a record interest rate to pay for
borrowed money in the International Markets. As expected, Italy did
not do much better in order to fulfill the "prophecy of the day" : Spain and Italy urgently need help.

The height of

torture and murder its own people - children included - by the

Greatest Gift To The Poor. (1)
The greatest gift to the poor is
quality basic education and skills training for their children given
for free or at very low costs. This is a very precious heritage
that St. Josemaria Escriva left to the faithful of the Prelature of
Opus Dei which he founded. A preferential option for the poor is
very much part of the DNA of Opus Dei.
Canonized on October 6, 2002 by Blessed John Paul II, St. Josemaria's
message to ordinary Christians is to "seek Christ in ordinary everyday
life...and to give back to material realities and to the most trivial
occurrences their noble and original meaning." As he himself showed through his
personal example, he spent the first years of his priestly vocation
attending to the needs of the most abandoned poor people of the slum
areas of Madrid in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
miguel de Portugal comments: This is how the poor people
of the Philippines are being brainwashed about the Opus Dei.

Today the Greeks are holding an election that will,
in essence, decide whether they abandon the European common currency
(Euro) or not. Since last Wednesday the financial and
regular media - local and worldwide - have been painting a
variety of apocalyptic financial scenarios should Greece exit the Euro
currency. Statements have been made by qualified (by world standards,
of course) experts such as: "The euro itself is a bloody doomsday
machine".
On the political scene, top European leaders have been holding
conferences almost
non-stop, in person and via tele-conference, etc.
From what everyone hears and reads, the average, and the not so
average, person and institution could only draw one conclusion: Europe
and the world are at the edge of the financial abyss.... or is
it?
We will reproduce below the the results of the key financial markets
of the world as they closed last Friday - then you will see through the
staged drama we have discussed above. All, without exception,

The following 1956 news report should help one and all to carefully
evaluate (read: take with a grain of salt) what the "Scientist of the

published in an allegedly reputable magazine, it does not make the
claim valid or safe.
Preserve Your Meat and Produce With Atomic
Radiation. (1a)(1b)
That's what's coming in atomic energy, they tell me. You
take a pork chop, or a bunch of asparagus, and expose it for a few
minutes or seconds to atomic radiation. It could be gamma rays from a
reactor's spent fuel rods, or an electron beam from a high-voltage
machine. The rays kill bacteria, mold, every living thing that makes
food decay.
"Is this really going to happen, or is it just somebody's
wild pipe dream?"
"Uncle Sam's betting $10,000,000 or more that it can be
done. The Department of
Defense is putting that much into the idea, currently at the
rate of about $1,125,000 a year."
"What's this got to do with defense?"
"Suppose trouble starts, like Korea, and the GIs move in.
Way it's been, they live for months on canned rations, until
refrigeration ships catch up with them, and mobile refrigerators can be
dragged ashore. This way they'll get fresh eats wherever they go.
"The Navy is for
irradiated food because it will actually boost their warships' cruising
range. Carriers and cruisers won't need to stop and take aboard
perishable food so often. That will count all the more with
atomic-powered ships that would have practically unlimited range
otherwise.

the United States and Canada... Refunds for markets already on sale are
available at the patron's point of purchase. The producers plan to
resume the North American tour in the future.
The Producers said, "....

support we have received from fans across the country has been
tremendous and it is our intention to come back as soon as possible."

miguel

Portugal comments: This could mean just about anything; however,
we must consider the facts of: (a) the immediacy of the cancellation;
(b) their tremendous record and popularity; (c) the reality that the
last thing people will give up during the worst of crisis is popular
entertainment, alcohol and coffee; (d) it is a German firm solely owned
by Dipl. Kfm Peter Massine; (e) their page was created on 11-Apr-2000
and will expire (if not renewed) on 11-Apr-2013;
and (f) APPASSIONATA's official name is spelled as follows:
ApasSionAta.com.
Considering that Germany is the least affected European nation, that
APASSIONATA is a successful on-going enterprise and all of the above,
one must then ponder: Does
Dipl. Kfm Peter Massine know something that most of the world does not ?
An educated guess, no prophecy - just a
guess, would be that Mr. Massine is well connected within the Israeli
government inner circle (remember the registered name of his business -
ApasSionAta.com?)
and that he has been informed that Israel will strike Iran very soon
and that such strike may unleash a global conflagration which will
include the US.
Logically, the safest thing for him and his troupe to do would be to immediately end his US tour
and return to his home base in Germany.
As I said, just an educated guess.

Google employees know nothing. (1)
Among documents released
Tuesday that Google had submitted to the Federal Communications
Commission are sworn
declarations by nine people who said they were not
aware of data collection done during Google's Street View mapping.
Each
said they knew nothing about the effort, either because it was not part
of their job or they did not review the project documentation, even
when it was provided to them.
Although the project was intended to photograph the world's
streets, from 2007 to 2010
Google gathered unencrypted Internet data from wireless networks,
including the content of private communications, as its specially
equipped cars passed through neighborhoods. Special software was
written to capture that private data, though Google says it was a
mistake.
For example, one person whose job was to review the
computer code that operated the data collection program said that while
he checked syntax and debugged the code, he had "no recollection of
reviewing the Wi-Fi project design document" and that "it was not part
of my duties to do so."
Another said, "I
am aware there was a design document prepared for the Wi-Fi collection,
but I do not recall reading it."
Jill Hazelbaker, a spokeswoman for Google, said the failure
by multiple engineers to review the project was "a mistake," adding,
"Clearly there was a process breakdown."
The agency did
not find any wrongdoing in Google's collection of the data itself.

Portugal comments: Take a peek at the earlier mentioned movie
"Antitrust" and see if you see
some parallels.
The world has reached a point where, even though it is
being virtually
violated in all fronts, it is beginning to "enjoy the violence".
This is why unless God steps in, we will completely auto destroy
ourselves and the souls of the Elect, who are still in a body, will
never
make it to Paradise.
And unless those days had been shortened,
no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days
shall be shortened. [Matthew

Church battles efforts to ease
Sex Abuse suits. (1)
While the first criminal trial of a
Roman Catholic church official accused of covering up child sexual
abuse has drawn national attention to Philadelphia, the church has been quietly
engaged in equally consequential battles over abuse, not in courtrooms
but in state legislatures around the country.
The fights concern proposals
to loosen statutes of limitations, which impose deadlines on when
victims can bring civil suits or prosecutors can press charges.
These time limits, set state by state, have held down the number of
criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits against all kinds of people
accused of child abuse - not just clergy members, but also teachers,
youth counselors and family members accused of incest.

Eugene Kaspersky,
whose lab discovered the
Flame virus that has attacked computers in Iran and elsewhere in
the
Middle East, said on Wednesday only a global effort could stop a new
era of "cyber terrorism". (1)
"It's not cyber war, it's cyber
terrorism and I'm afraid it's just
the beginning of the game ... I'm afraid it will be the end of the
world as we know it," Kaspersky told reporters at a cyber security
conference in Tel Aviv. "I'm scared, believe me," he said.
News of the Flame virus surfaced last
week. Researchers said
technical evidence suggests it was built for the same nation or nations
that commissioned the Stuxnet worm that attacked Iran's nuclear
programme in 2010.
Kaspersky named the United States,
Britain, Israel, China, Russia
and possibly India, Japan and Romania as countries with the ability to
develop such software, but stopped short of saying which nation
he
thought was behind Flame.
"Flame is extremely complicated but I
think many countries can do
the same or very similar, even countries that don't have enough of the
expertise at the moment. They can employ engineers or kidnap them, or
employ 'hacktivists'," he said.
"These ideas are spreading too fast,"
Kaspersky later said, "That
cyber boomerang may get back to you."
miguel de

surprising.
Many, many years ago God had me view two internet related
movies - The Net (2) and Antitrust (3). There is more realism in
those two movies than we could possibly imagine and that is why He moved me to view
them.... to confirm what I was aware of otherwise.
While on the tell-tale movies subject matter.... We also recommend a
viewing of Enemy of the State
(4). It is a
shame that with all of that real (not science fiction) technology they
just don't seem to get it right many times.
Also, The Godfather III (5) - not I nor II, but III. It
depicts what was going on at
the Vatican - no joke - up to now. The
days when the Opus Dei and like groups ruled; days when even the Mafia
feared
them. Maybe they should now issue The
Godfather IV, wherein the can show the new reality: a totally
reversed scenario from The Godfather
III.
I must say - I was shocked when I viewed The Godfather III. It was a total
"set up" by God so that I would view it (normally I would have never
done
so, just like I never viewed The
Godfather I and II). Why shocked? Because I was viewing in a
film what I was fully aware, in essence, that was taking place in
reality.
What the people of the world hear/view in the news is a twisted version
of a fraction of "the
whole" of what is really taking place.
My prophetic thoughts do not come from viewing such films; God use them
to physically confirm to me
the conceptual information (6)
that He already gave me otherwise. Just as He did with
my reading of Sister Faustina's Diary.... I was reading exactly what He
had already informed me about sometime before.

"In a

Director General Paolo Cipriani denied allegations which have surfaced
since its president was abruptly ousted.
"There are no numbered accounts or accounts of politicians,"
Cipriani told Corriere della Sera. "The only non-clergy Italians that
hold accounts are employees or pensioners of the Holy See."
However....
"Italian police searching Gotti

he had met resistance from other bank executives when he asked for
details of secret accounts held by non-clergy such as Italian
politicians and other state workers." (1)

Vatican.... (1)
Several months ago, he reportedly told
his friends that he began collecting an exhaustive dossier "in case
something happened to him."
It is this dossier that the police have now apparently discovered.
The Vatican is barely concealing its panic - and wants the folders
handed back unopened.
"We

these
documents," said an official statement.
But there is little chance the Papacy will get its way this time..."

Assuming
this all to be true, then the records found in Tedeschi's home could be
called "insurance". Either to preserve his life, and/or to ensure that

The Kennedy assassination: Did Castro know in advance? (1)
A new book by former CIA
analyst Brian Latell details evidence that Cuban intelligence knew
beforehand of JFK’s assassination.
The orders surprised the Cuban intelligence officer.... his
assignment had abruptly been changed, at least for the day. "The
leadership wants you to stop your CIA work, all your CIA work," his
boss said. Instead, the officer was told he had a new target: Texas,
"any little detail small detail from Texas." And about three hours
later, shortly after mid-day on Nov. 22, 1963, the shocked intelligence
officer had something to report that was much more than a small detail:
the assassination in Dallas of President John F. Kennedy.
"Castro knew," the
intelligence officer would tell a CIA
debriefer years later, after defecting to the United States. "They knew
Kennedy would be killed."
miguel de
Portugal comments: If Castro really knew before it happened it
was because the dark elements of the CIA told him., something which we
doubt. He was not even "in" the staging of the Missile Crisis, and that
was child's play when compared with the assassination of John Kennedy,
first, and then Robert Kennedy - both of which died by the same "hand".
Will these people ever stop trying to prove
that Lee Oswald, under the orders of Fidel Castro, killed Kennedy (2)
and that the Cuban Missile Crisis (3) was real?
The proven true facts so overwhelmingly show otherwise that the
tenacity of
those who persist in twisting these stories around is simply amazing.
Which may lead one to ask: Who cares
about this now?
Maybe the reason lies
HERE....

Spain seeks $125 billion in EU aid for banks. (1)
Spain has asked the
European Union for up to €100 billion ($125 billion) to provide a
capital buffer for the nation's ailing banks, the Eurogroup said
Saturday.
"The Eurogroup has been informed that the Spanish
authorities will present a formal request shortly and is willing to
respond favorably to such a request," the group said in a statement.
Without specifying the amount sought, Spain's economy
minister, Luis de Guindos, announced the request at a news conference
in Madrid. de Guindos said that the amount sought would be enough to
guarantee the safety of the banks and signify credibility to the
capital markets.
The announcement came in the wake of an International
Monetary Fund report issued late Friday saying that several banks in
Spain would need to raise capital buffers by a total of €40 billion
($50.1 billion) to withstand another financial shock.
miguel de
Portugal comments: "They" finally did it! "They" have literally
forced Spain into asking for something that is more needed by Germany,
France and the UK than in Spain.
If we were not on the ground here and in touch with the pulse of the
nation - social and financial - I would have believed the story about
the condition of the Spanish Banks. That intense has been the
international propaganda about it.
Once more I must say: If I had any doubt about what we have been
announcing for years, this staged (by outsiders) drama would have

Spain is
under rising
pressure to find a lifeline for its deeply troubled banks. Politicians

miguel de Portugal comments: If Spain's banks are really

control it as it
has already been done in Portugal, Greece, Italy, and Ireland. We have
already explained "the why" of such move elsewhere.
However,
we will now highlight something rather interesting: The countries
involved in this
take-over-and-control climate are the
most Catholic ones of the European Union - West (Portugal, Spain, Italy
and Ireland) or East (Greek). Of course, we mean "Catholic" by name, certainly not by practice.

all the power required to solve major problems but none of the
intellect, discipline, and moral sensibility required to get the job
done.
In addition to incompetence, there are clear examples of sociopathic
behavior by group members. Henry Kissinger allowed the ravaging of East
Timor
in return for a few favors from Indonesia. His failures in Vietnam
caused hundreds of thousands to die needlessly. Colin Powell lied about
weapons of mass destruction before the United Nations to get his
boss the war he wanted. George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton 1990's
sanctions against Iraq resulted in the deaths of around a quarter
million Iraqi children under five.
The baddest Bilderberger of all time
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Lyman
Lemnitzer, is the Bilderberg member who has done more for both accurate
and unfounded conspiracy theories than any of his peers.
In 1962, Lemnitzer
approved Justification for U.S. Military
Intervention in Cuba, also known as Operation
Northwoods . The plan was declassified in 1997 by
the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board.
The chiefs were upset that they lacked the option of
invading Communist Cuba. As an alternative, they came up with
Northwoods, a false flag operation that would provide the excuse
required to invade Cuba. Northwoods was presented to and rejected by
President John F. Kennedy in 1962. The material below is from
that original
plan.
One feature of the plan called for recruiting Cuban exiles to don
official Cuban military uniforms, storm the Guantanamo Bay base, set
some fires, etc. and then get caught. This operation was
intended to show that Cuba was a threat to the United States.
While a fake battle was taking place between US provocateurs and
uniformed military, Miami and other U.S. cities would be subjected to
false flag terrorist attacks by another set of agents working for the
joint chiefs. These terrorists were to be tied directly to Fidel Castro.
A "drone" ship would be destroyed and a remote controlled aircraft,
masquerading as a charter flight with real people aboard, would be shot
down with the blame falling on Castro's Cuba.
When Lemnitzer presented the plan, he
was removed as head of the joint chiefs and given the command of NATO.
Lest than a year later, he was invited to join the Bilderberg group.
This
plan represents treason at the highest levels. No one was punished.
Outside of the authors and a few elected officials, no one was told
about this episode of madness. Lemnitzer joined the Bilderberg Group in
1963.
It is no
wonder that people aware of
Northwoods and other control schemes interpret manipulative and
malicious intent behind government actions. For years, the
CIA's MKULTRA
program experimented on citizens to develop mind control techniques. Operation
Mockingbird allowed the CIA to dictate content for
news and opinion pieces by prominent journalists. That project began in
1948 and was supposedly shut down in1976. (With today's corporate
media, the project is likely unnecessary.)

Portugal comments: Do you think that our enemies are not aware
of all of the above and much
more?
This is why when the most charitable people in the world - Americans -
act from the sheer goodness of their hearts, everyone in the world
assume the worse primarily thanks to the activities of "the
gang that couldn't shoot straight, a self-appointed hapless collection
of incompetents with all the power required to solve major problems but
none of the intellect, discipline, and moral sensibility required to
get the job done."
The tragedy is that it is the people of the US who will have to pay a
horrendous price (2) for
the actions of above mentioned "gang".
May God have
Mercy on His Elect!

From (Mr.) LP @ US
On June 6th you touched on the warm relations between the US and
Georgia and how that taunts Russia. Well, as the saying goes: The plot thickens....
The United States pledged
on Tuesday to help train pro-Western Georgia's military in coastal
defense and underscored its
rejection of Russia's "occupation" of two separatist Georgian regions
after a five-day war between Tbilisi and Moscow.
U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, visiting the Black Sea resort town of Batumi during a
trip to the South Caucasus, ....
Clinton's comments on
military support will likely antagonize Russia, which sent troops into
Georgia in 2008, routing the small South Caucasus country's
military before recognizing the two separatist regions as independent
countries.
Clinton promised that Washington would provide training and support for
Georgian forces to better monitor their coasts and skies and upgrade
its transport helicopter fleet.....
"With these efforts, Georgia
will be a stronger international partner with an improved capacity for
self-defense," Clinton told reporters.
Russia, which says Georgia
started the war by sending forces into South Ossetia, has cast
Saakashvili as dangerously bellicose and has warned the United States
not to build up Georgia's military. Saakashvili says he wants to
coax Abkhazia an South Ossetia back into the fold through peaceful
means. (1)

News Report No. 1
[our highlights]
Cardinal Reinhard Marx has called for a "social market
economy" in the wake of the fiscal crisis that has gripped much
of Europe over the past year. (1a)
In a talk delivered at Georgetown University in Washington, Cardinal
Marx, the Archbishop of Munich and Freising, said the economy needed to
move "beyond capitalism"
in order to be more fair.
... The cardinal, who wrote Das Kapital: A
Plea for Man in 2008,
is head of the Committee for Social Issues for the German bishops'
conference and is president of the Commission of the Bishops'
Conferences of the European Community. He is member of both the
Congregation for Catholic Education and the Pontifical Council for
Justice and Peace.
... Cardinal Marx added: "The
Bible is not, in fact, the last word" in coming to terms with
the eurozone crisis.
... The cardinal travelled from Washington to Chicago, where he was to lead a May 31-June 1 symposium called "Toward a Moral
Economy".
Regarding his book:
The 300-page book, "Das Kapital: A Plea for Man",
deliberately borrows its
title from the
"bible" of communism in
which Karl Marx claimed 140 years ago that capitalism would
automatically collapse. (2)
Furthermore:
Despite the similar nomenclature, Marx
says readers should not expect a defense of communism in this new book.
Instead, the Roman Catholic archbishop who is the most outspoken of
Germany's 27 diocesan leaders in his criticism of big business, says
that his work is to some extent "an argument with Marxism."
The book begins as a letter addressed to
his "dear namesake."
"The consequences," he tells the
19th-century ideologist, "of your thinking were disastrous." (3)
Contributor's
comments: In the recently published guest document by Lee Penn (4) I read:
In the fall of 2011, the Pontifical
Council for Justice and Peace (PCJP) issued a call for global
financial
reform and the gradual creation of a "world political Authority." This
document was explicitly based on Caritas in Veritate.
That rang a bell; a very strong bell. Then I realized why. Read on....

More documents are eaked to the press despite
arrest of Pope's butler. (1)
Pope Benedict got no rest
on Sunday from a leaks scandal when an Italian newspaper published
documents showing that his butler was not the only person in possession
of confidential correspondence indicating a Vatican in disarray.
The Rome newspaper La Repubblica published documents it
said it had received anonymously after the arrest of the pope's butler
on May 23. A note received by the newspaper said there were "hundreds more"
documents and that the butler, Paolo Gabriele, was just a
scapegoat. The furore over the leaked correspondence, which shows
power-hungry cardinals and scheming within the walls of the city state,
has gripped the Vatican.

President of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi
reports to the Economic Committee that Euro
setup is unsustainable. (1)
The setup of the 17-country euro
currency union is unsustainable, the head of the European
Central Bank has told EU leaders, warning they must quickly come up with a
broad vision for the future to get the bloc through the current
financial crisis.
Mario Draghi said
Thursday that the crisis had exposed the inadequacy of the financial
and economic framework set up for the euro monetary union launched in
1999.
"That configuration that we had with us by and large for
ten years which was considered sustainable, I should add, in a perhaps myopic
way, has been shown to be unsustainable unless further steps are taken,"
he said in response to questions in the European Parliament.
Draghi said the
central bank had done what it could to fight the 2
½-year-old debt crisis by reducing interest rates and giving €1
trillion ($1.2 trillion) in emergency loans to banks. But it was now up to governments
to chart a course ahead by reducing deficits, carrying out sweeping
reforms to spur growth and by strengthening the euro's basic
institutions. The ECB cannot "fill the vacuum of the lack of action by
national governments" in those areas.
miguel de
Portugal comments: Mr. Draghi (allusion to the "Dragon") has
informed the European Union that "he has done all he could" and that

Benedict speaks about the Vatileak scandal. (1)
Benedict XVI deplored the turmoil surrounding the recent
publication of leaked Vatican documents today, but thanked the vast
majority of people who work at the Vatican for their dedication and
fidelity.
Speaking at the end of his weekly general audience, the Pope
said much of the media coverage of the leak of
private letters and of the arrest of his personal assistant has been
exaggerated and “completely gratuitous, and has gone far beyond the
facts, offering an image of the Holy See that does not correspond to
reality”.
Pope Benedict said that while the scandal has saddened him “it
has never weakened my firm certainty that, despite human weakness,
difficulties and trials, the Church is guided by the Holy Spirit and
will never be without the Lord’s help to support it in its journey”.
He offered “encouragement to my closest
collaborators and all those who, each day with fidelity
and a spirit of sacrifice and in silence, help me fulfill my ministry”.

As a follow up to the post on June 1st from (Mr.) IW
regarding the Emanuela Orlandi mystery and current
Vatileak scandal.....
Again from (Mr.) IW @
US
A book (1)
published several years ago by retired Catholic priest,
Msgr. Luigi Marinelli, detailed the misdeeds of greedy bishops,
money-laundering prelates, sexual abuse and satanic rituals within
the Vatican.
Marinelli was no lone dissenter, the book was written by a group of
Vatican prelates called the Millenari who seek to expose the corruption
and satanism within the Vatican.
"The Millenari are a group of
Vatican prelates who wish to
remain anonymous due to their fear of repercussions from this book's
publication. The only author to come forward is 72-year-old retired
Vatican prelate Monsignor Luigi Marinelli. Marinelli worked for many
years in the Vatican department of the Congregation of Eastern Churches.
He was recruited to the writing team by an unnamed Vatican official who
had heard Marinelli criticize the inner workings of the Vatican.
Marinelli is now under investigation by the Sacra Romana Rota-the court
of the Vatican State. He has been honored with France's Freedom of the
Church award."
Due to its high cost, I have not yet ordered this book. But if
you have not heard of it, a glance at its synopsis and authorship would
tend to give it some credibility. As well as that it was published
in 1999 - well before Ratzinger had
taken the throne, when there may still have been some
decent clergy in the Vatican.
Marinelli seem to have "died of natural causes" shortly after
publishing his writings. (2)
The book was also known by the title: "Gone
With the Wind in the Vatican". (3)
My
observation is that Opus Dei went to considerable lengths to 'punish'
Marinelli, and to inhibit the circulation of the book. It would seem to
confirm the allegations of Fr. Gabriel Amorth, and others, alleging
the existence of a child sex ring/cult operating within the Vatican.
Especially in light of the high status of Marinelli.

What's Behind Facebook's

On Valentine's Day, Nick Bergus came across a link to an
odd product on Amazon.com: [edited out by The M+G+R Foundation]
He found it irresistibly funny and, as one does in this age

"For Valentine's Day. And every day. For the rest of your life."
Within days, friends of
Mr. Bergus's started seeing his post among the ads on Facebook pages,
with his name and smiling mug shot.
Facebook - or
rather, one of its algorithms - had seen his post as an endorsement and
transformed it into an advertisement, paid for by Amazon,
reports Somini Sengupta of The New York Times.
Companies pay
Facebook to generate automated ads, called sponsored stories,
when a user clicks to "like" their brands or references them in some

[our highlights]
As a response/commentary to our news post and commentaries
regarding the Emanuela Orlandi mystery and current
Vaticanleak scandal.....
From (Mr.) IW @ US
The current Vatican scandal(s) related to the
Vatican
Bank and the butler escapade seem to be intricately linked to a
Vatican child sex ring, which, in turn is linked to the IOR
(Vatican Bank), and its notorious former head, US Archbishop Paul
Marcinkus. (1, 1a)
The kidnapping and probable murder of Emanuela Orlandi in 1983,
occurring in connection with a visit to the complex of the Church Sant'
Appolinaire - an Opus Dei church. And home to the Pontifical College of
the Holy Cross, its seminary. She had been taking music lessons at
this complex, prior to her disappearance. (2)
The actual kidnapper is alleged to be: Enrico De Pedis (3), the mobster who was
buried in Sant' Appolinaire with the placet of Cardinal Poletti.
The
gross financial misdeeds of Marcinkus as head of the IOR, are mere
child's play compared to the far more serious alleged involvement in
the Vatican child sex cult/ring.
According to some sources, Emanuela Orlandi was abducted on
orders of Marcinkus as a 'favor' to Cardinal Ugo Poletti. (4) (5) The latter is alleged
to have had an appetite for teens
(gender
not specified). This was in connection with the ongoing child sex ring,
allegedly involving members of the diplomatic corps of a certain
country to the Vatican.
From 1973-1991, Poletti was the Archpriest of the Lateran Basilica,
and Vicar General of the Diocese of Rome - running it for the
pope. In
1991 he was appointed Archpriest of the Basilica of St. Mary
Major.... the same post held by Cardinal Law.
"As a papal basilica, Santa Maria Maggiore is often used by the
pope. Most notably, the pope presides over the annual Feast of the
Assumption of Mary,
celebrated on 15 August each year at the basilica. The canopied high
altar is used by the pope alone — except for a few priests including
the archpriest." (6)
In light of the reality of Law and Poletti, this is sickening.
Poletti also presided over the tribunal in Rome of the Congregation of
the Causes of the Saints to
investigate the life and virtues of Escriva. (7)
The general thesis of all this has been confirmed by the official
Vatican exorcist, Fr. Gabriel Amorth.
Marcinkus
- despite his involvement in international financial crimes - was
'untouchable'. Vatican diplomatic immunity protected him as long as he
continued to reside in the Vatican City State, or its extra-territoral
possessions. When he returned to the US in 1990, remaining there until
his death in 2006, no national or international law enforcement
authority attempted to question, subpoena or arrest him. Yet he
functioned openly as a parish priest in Chicago, and later resided in
Sun City, AZ, saying public mass.
That his protection came from Opus Dei becomes obvious, as during
his Roman tenure he was surrounded by their minions, and was their 'bag
man'. They must have been certain of his loyalty and silence, which is
the mark of their 'holy discretion'. Otherwise he would have been found
dead long ago.
So, are we to believe that he was protected only because of the
financial secrets he knew? Yes. But that is obviously only part of it.
Or, perhaps, the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
If
Marcinkus was in any way involved in what appears to be a Vatican sex
child sex cult, then not only were they sure of his silence, but it
shows the sheer power of Opus Dei, globally.
The links to Opus Dei in all of this, (8) are hard to deny. The
implications, staggering. It is reasonable to surmise that more then
the few named persons are involved - that it has not ceased
operating.
