"JP Deuce": Licio Gelli 100% right. Calvi assasi

Calvi assassinated in JP2's personal orders.

JP Deuce

Postby mother » Sun Oct 23, 2005 5:18 pm

The contrived polemics about the Novus Ordo popes seem to be working nicely in America, not so successfully in Europe.(where they resort to obvious Luciferian escapdes in glitzy "masses" because people are so bored, I don't know how to post photos yet) "God's Rottweiller" as in fierce defender of the Faith. Such a dog that he fabricated the Third Secret of Fatima 5 years ago, proving that he is on one of the hugest conspiracies of the century, misleading countless people to ruin. These guys are likely the long-predicted anti-popes of the church in eclipse. How intelligent people can continue to ignore the protection of pedophila and at least say, "Not one more penny will I contribute until so-and-so is away from children" is beyond me. The sacrifice of innocent children is very important for their dark powers. And if nobody believes in the Devil but devil-worshippers, the journalists and therapists continue to enable these atrocities to be swept under the rug, and nobody looks for the truth or believes the truth-tellers, we are in the times warned of by Our Lady of Fatima in front of 70,000 Euopean peasants who walked through the mud in 1917. The ritual murder of Calvi must have served to protect someone, maybe B-16. Those guys certainly are not calling down God's Grace to counteract the ambassadors of Hell, but there are still people gladly suffering any cost to fight this, and more and more people catching on, due to the Internet. But the Vatican institution, so well established in nearly every part of the world was a tremendous prize in the plans for world government, a major(temporary) victory for the Powers of Darkness. No pre-Cocilliar pope would have allowed Escriva to establish his cult. B-16 just "blessed" a statue of Escriva a few weeks ago, which once again shows who he really works for. Calvi's son is a brave one from what I can gather. <p></p><i></i>

Fatima

Postby banned » Sun Oct 23, 2005 5:42 pm

I'm 53 and well do I remember back in Catholic grade school, eagerly awaiting the Third Secret of Fatima, which fell flat.<br><br>I didn't give it another thought for the entire 3 1/2 decades I was, as the phrase has it, 'lapsed.'<br><br>When I thought to ask recently, my eucharistic minister friend told me it had been the attempt on JPDeuce's life.<br><br>I said, "WTF?"<br><br>Lame. And I just didn't buy it.<br><br>Then as I rapidly became disgusted with the state of the Church in 2002 (basically the disillusionment that had taken me from age 6 to age 15 the first time took me from November 2001 to July of 2002 to recapitulate) and started doing some research, notably into the death of John Paul I and the work of Malachi Martin, I REALLY smelled a...well...Rat. No way Popeski Wojtyla being shot at was worth the BVM putting on a sound 'n' light show for let alone announcing a secret to be revealed to the entire world--urbi et orbi, as they say down Vatican way. All she had to do was appear to him the night before and say "Stay home, or wear a Kevlar vest."<br><br>If you're familiar with the prophesies of St. Malachy, Ratzo's the pope 'of the olive' and the second last Pope--the last being "Peter the Roman" who presides over the destruction of Rome. I think...been awhile since I read it, and I'm getting the usual demonic interference when I try to google it--screen freezes, I get booted offline. Will check it and BRB.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

...in five minutes, finally requiring the ejaculation "In the name of Jesus Christ, get out of my puter", so I could get this from the "Catholic Pages":<br><br>"According to the prophecy, the current Pope may be the second last Pope Gloria Olivæ ("Glory of the Olives").<br><br>However, it should be noted that some commentators over the centuries have pointed out that there is nothing that says there will be no popes between Gloria Olivæ and Petrus Romanus. It may be that there will be a long line of popes between them!"<br><br>Here's how they hook up "Gloria Olivae" and Benny the Ratz:<br><br>"Gloria olivæ<br>The Benedictine order traditionally said this Pope would come from their order, since a branch of the Benedictine order is called the Olivetans. St Benedict is said to have prophesied that before the end of the world, a member of his order would be Pope and would triumphantly lead the Church in its fight against evil. While the Holy Father chose the name "Benedict", this does not seem enough to fulfil the prophecy. Nor is it clear how Benedict XVI (a Bavarian) is "Glory of the Olives". Since he is said to have remarked in the Conclave after saying he would take the name Benedict that it was partly to honour Benedict XV, a pope of peace and reconciliation, perhaps Benedict XVI will be a peacemaker in the Church or in the World, and thus carry the olive branch."<br><br>From the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia:<br><br>"The last of these prophecies concerns the end of the world and is as follows: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End."<br><br>It has been noticed concerning Petrus Romanus, who according to St. Malachy's list is to be the last pope, that the prophecy does not say that no popes will intervene between him and his predecessor designated Gloria olivæ. It merely says that he is to be the last, so that we may suppose as many popes as we please before "Peter the Roman"."<br><br>[Or we can figure since Malachi's listed them in order, the last one is either the last one and comes after the second last one, or Mal ran out of paper, or somebody snitched a page.--banned.] <p></p><i></i>

Prophecy of St. Francis of Assisi forBanned

Postby mother » Sun Oct 23, 2005 6:55 pm

If I am Mamita, you'd be Bandita, if you really think about it. If you go to novusordowatch.org and use that site search for prophecy of st. francis of assisi there is one example of prophetic interest. Also Our Lady of Good Success, absolutely do not omit Our Lady of LaSallette (Rome will become the seat of the Antichrist) There is also that obscure note of interest with reard to the spaces for portraits of all the popes only having one space left, but I am not puter literate enough to do anything about it. By the way, I know you are telling the truth about attempted smothering and that you were not sleeping; the reason it's so memorable is because everyone was awake, sometimes with someone sleeping right beside them, and in each case even with non religious people they resorted to desperate prayer for relief. I'd heard that so much from friends recovering from alcoholism that I began to wonder if this sort of attack was sometimes related to SIDS. At any rate, there has been a lot of warning from the saints about what will going on with popes, during times when such grave matters would have been unthinkable, but I think St. Francis is a good one to consider. <p></p><i></i>

In God's Name

Postby robertdreed » Mon Oct 24, 2005 12:02 am

I read that book in, like, 1984, which I think is the year that it was published. I thought the book was well-written and thought-provoking. It had a lot of verifiable information- I did the legwork to verify it- and the questions it raised didn't spin off into craziness.<br><br>I think the surmises of David Yallop are nowhere near those of emad...check the RI board and you'll find emad making allegations that I find frankly silly, without providing the slightest referential support or sourcing. For example, there's his allegation that Ronald Reagan was a KGB agent...that's actually one of emad's milder "inside revelations." <br><br>Particularly worthy of note are emad's repeated deadpan statements that several world leaders of the past 40 or so years have actually been abducted or killed, and physically replaced with "body double" substitutes, without any outsiders being the wiser. George Bush Sr., for instance...<br><br>My advice: don't let people play you, or work you. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=robertdreed>robertdreed</A> at: 10/23/05 10:18 pm<br></i>

Halo, last time I heard "Let them come"...

The KGB would never have taken Uncle Ron--even if his resume hadn't hit the shredder ASAP ("Sportscaster? TV host? Actor? Who is this asshat?" or in Russian, "WTF asshatski?") one interview and they'd have shown him the door (in Russian, "doorski".)<br><br>Now, the body double idea--<br><br>Now, I have heard that Saddam Hussein employed body doubles and I remember when he was first captured some people wondering if that was him or one of the doubles. The thing is, if you haven't seen the REAL guy in years, it would take DNA to figure out if you had him--and DNA can be faked, just like fingerprints. I'm not saying I believe it, only that we would never know. The real Saddam Hussein may have had plastic surgery and is banging cocktail waitresses two at a time in a posh suite in Vegas as I type this, while his body double cools his heels in a pokey in Eye-Rak.<br><br>To me, the problem with BDs is this: People are too unpredictable. What happens if suddenly the BD goes "This job sucks, I never should have left the Payless Shoe Mart in Kalamazoo even for all that money. I want out." Then they have to send talent scouts out again all over hell and yonder looking for someone with a basic resemblance they can perfect with plastic surgery. <br><br>I'm more interested in the idea of replacing them with androids/replicants.<br> <br>I've never been to any Disney park but I heard even years ago they had a Lincoln who would talk to you. Who really knows how much better that technology's gotten <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br><br>Here is something else that interests me: if you watch Gee Dubya Bush the man's entire facial and body language is bizarre, not just his verbolizating. His walk is stiff, ungainly, oddly simian; his smirks and squints and scowls are inappropriate and seemingly out of his control; and his hand gestures are repetitive to the point he seems almost autistic. If ever there was someone I think might have been put together from spare parts--probably including some from the original George, who in his younger days was a nice looking, well spoken guy with none of these oddnesses. (OK, yeah, heavy sedation, a stroke, too much nose candy/booze, too much mind control could do the same thing.)<br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

George W. Bush

Postby robertdreed » Mon Oct 24, 2005 12:41 am

My impression is that George W. Bush is "on something", or multiple somethings, and has been for some time...I think he tailors his meds like a touring performer. And, as with the case of rock stars on tour, I think sometimes the frayed edges show, and he looks a little unglued as a result. <br><br>That's simply my impression, from a distance, occasional pre-edited glimpses of the man in action, courtesy of the media.<br><br>But it isn't as if there's nothing to be gleaned from such brief glimpses...it's approximately as obvious to me that George W. Bush occasionally looks a bit wired and overamped as it was that Bob Dylan was occasionally looking a bit wired and overamped, when I saw Scorcese's recent television documentary. <br><br>However, GWB keeps his hair trimmed and his shoes shined, and that provides a measure of camoflauge. <br><br>I suspect that Annie Coulter's been getting by with a little help from her friends from time to time as well...unsure whether it's Prozac, Zoloft, Buproprion, Ritalin, or Dexedrine...<br><br>My personal guess about George W. Bush is that he's a regular user of Rit, Dex, or Desoxyn, with Xanax, Valium, or Clonopin thrown in under conditions of special stress, to take the edge off.<br><br>And yes, it is possible for many people- especially those with ADHD- to take those drugs in measured amounts and retain the ability to exercise and keep one's blood pressure down.<br><br>I don't really care what the Chief Executive is on, necessarily. The most important thing is for them to be a good president. But I think the public ought to be apprised of any presidential candidate or sitting president who regularly resorts to psychoactive drugs, so they can make up their own minds. Presently, I think that information is still covered by doctor-client privilege. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=robertdreed>robertdreed</A> at: 10/23/05 10:53 pm<br></i>

I think that if GWB was taken off of his meds, he'd withdraw from most contact with the public, and go back to playing video golf all day long, he way he was when he was the governor of Texas, a state that's institutionally structured to provide it's governor with very little to do other than being a figurehead. <br><br>And the country would be the better for it. <br><br>Of course, my speculations on the Prez's drug habits presently amount to nothing more than Hunter S.

Oh, it's a motherfucker. Wait until you get to the part where Strong reports that Ollie North visited Colombia in the early 1980s with a delegation of Afghans than included heroin chemists- and that they stayed, producing Colombian heroin with what the DEA refers to as an "Afghan signature" in terms of their chemical analysis of the refining process. <br><br>Then there's the part about the Colombian schoolgirls in their Catholic school pinafores, jumping into the fleet of Landrovers dispatched to take them to weekend cocaine baccanalias on estates in the countryside.

In fact, it is currently alleged by the DEA and Customs to be the #1 supplier of heroin to the U.S. market. Since the cultivation of opium poppies, the source of refined heroin, was virtually unknown in Colombia 25 years ago, this phenomenon deserves further explanation. The following excerpt from the book Whitewash, by Simon Strong, offers some provocative leads as to the reason for the sudden explosion in Colombian opium plantations and heroin laboratories. <br><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"In late 1984, the U.S. embassy in Bogota initiated a bizarre cover-up of Colombia's incipient opium trade. Reports of opium seizures had started in the late 1970s, after the seeds were brought in by the Mexicans. The plantations were said to be in the departments [states]of Cauca, Tolima, Meta, and Cundinamarca. In late 1984, a British journalist and drugs expert, Timothy Ross, bought 2 grams of heroin in Bogota and filmed it for ABC television. To test the purity, he gave half to a toxicology clinic and half to the DEA. Not less than 65 per cent pure, said the clinic. It has no opiate content whatsoever, said the DEA. 'It was the first indication that something was weird,' said Ross, who then secured another sample, this time a 10-gram blob of opium which he bought off a Cauca poppy grower. With no reason to distrust the DEA, with whom he was on good terms, Ross asked them to test it for morphine content. 'The effect was extraordinary. A few weeks later, they denied getting the sample. The secretary who had received it from me was transferred abruptly, and nobody said where to, so there was no way I could prove I had ever given it.' <br><br>Meanwhile, a propaganda visit by five members of the Afghanistan anti-Soviet resistance was organized. 'A friend in the attorney general's office told me that two of them stayed on, and that it was reported that they were helping Colombians to make proper quality heroin,' said Ross. 'My friend had already claimed that an Israeli agronomist had been brought in to improve poppy cultivation. I was naively chatting with the embassy about what I was hearing when they suddenly got very weird with me.' One week of what Ross described as 'serious terror tactics' culminated in his being summoned by the embassy security officer, who pointed his finger at him and declared: 'You are going to lay off this story or you are going to die.'" <br>from Whitewash: Pablo Escobar and the Cocaine Wars, 1994, by Simon Strong, MacMillan Publishing, p.106 </em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>HCu - 11:18pm Dec 19, 2000 PDT (#540 of 1638 ) <br>click on "HCu" for updated unusual history booklist and websites<br><br>Also from <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Whitewash</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, page 193, concerning an early 1980s link between the Colombian branch of the notorious BCCI and the Conservative Party's Andres Pastrana, currently the President of Colombia- <br><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Drug-money laundering was [a BCCI] specialty. The BCCI had won access to the U.S. financial system through its illegal purchase of First American Bank using U.S. nominees at the turn of the 1980s. It acquired a hot line to the cocaine industry in an apparently similar way: using Colombian nationals to secure full control over the Banco Mercantil. 'The nominees then pledged the shares to BCCI, signed blank transfer powers to BCCI, and gave it the right to vote shares.' <br><br>This occurred during Colombia's financial crisis, when many of the Mercantil's manufacturing clients were suffering badly from cheap imports- resulting from policy originally inspired by the influx of cocaine dollars- and the bank was suffering accordingly. At least one member of the Banco Mercantil's board had very close links to the Rodriguez Orejuelas of the Cali cartel. Also on the board at the start of its takeover by the BCCI- which already had an office in Bogota, run by a Pakistani later jailed for money laundering after a mass sting operation in Florida- was the future Conservative presidential candidate, Andres Pastrana. Pastrana was fined- although this fine was later quashed under a statute of limitations rule- in connection with a loan of about $2 million paid by the Mercantil to a financial group of which he was the board member. The BCCI took over the Mercantil shortly afterwards and the loan went unpaid after Pastrana's financial group, Promoviendo, went into liquidation. The so-called loan had all the appearance of a BCCI political sweetener to the Conservative government.
