Cliff notes?
Are they big in America?
I just found out the other day (after reading your previous use of the term) what they are at well-thumbed WikiP:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CliffNotes
So anyway, here's a mini-bio followed by a micro-summary of EJP's line of research & thesis, from this year's Conspiracy Conference:
http://www.conspiracycon.com/speakers.html
| Quote: |
Eric Jon Phelps Bio - Lecture Eric Jon Phelps is a California native born in Oakland, 1953. He was raised in the small suburb of Tara Hills and graduated from Pinole Valley High School in 1972. In October of that year he entered the United States Air Force and, after basic training, was stationed at Lowry Air Force Base (AFB) in Denver, Colorado. Upon completing his training for the maintenance of air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, he was stationed at Cannon AFB in Clovis, New Mexico, for ten months and then sent to Spandahlem AFB in West Germany for three and one half years. Leaving the Air Force in 1977, he entered Baptist Bible College in Clark’s Summit, Pennsylvania, attending for two years. Leaving in 1979, he attended Lancaster Bible College, graduating in 1981 with a B.S. in Bible. For the next fifteen years he worked in construction, specializing as a private concrete worker for thirteen years. Upon becoming chronically ill, he sold the machines of his concrete business and invested in alternative health tools necessary for recovery. This led to an alternative health ministry for seven years, which proved to be a great awakening to the human suffering imposed by the American allopathic medical profession. It was during this twenty-year period that he researched and wrote Vatican Assassins, financed and published in 2001 by Halcyon Unified Services. In April of 2007 the third edition of Vatican Assassins ( VAIII) was released, he now offering a bi-monthly newsletter, The Jesuit Watch. He makes his home in Newmanstown, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Danita, and two sons, Skyler and Jordan, while the father of two adult sons to a previous marriage, Benjamin and Nathan. He accepts speaking engagements specializing on the past, present and future designs of the ubiquitous and pernicious Company of Jesus. The Company of Jesus: The Doctrines, Deeds and Destiny Of Satan’s Greatest Secret Society Behind Rome’s New World Order Shrouded behind the secrecy of the papacy’s CFR-controlled American press and a treasonous national academia, presenter Eric Jon Phelps will attempt to disclose a few of the hidden doctrines of the Jesuit Order, they serving as the impetus for the multitudinous and damnable deeds of blood perpetrated by the self-styled “Company of the Perfect.” Acting as modern-day “Nicolaitans” (Rev. 2:6, 15), the Jesuits are a superbly educated and highly disciplined military Order now astutely ruling every nation on earth for the benefit of “the White Pope” of Rome. This gnostic Roman rule of the Papal Caesar’s “praetorian guard,” commanded by its “infallible” Superior General (Adolfo Nicolas) surnamed “the Black Pope,” will be systematically delineated, including its oversight of the international “Invisible Empire” of Scottish Rite and Grand Orient Freemasonry. The presentation will be limited to four parts: First, a short history of the papacy will be recited beginning with its founder, Constantine the Great, through the Dark Ages to the dawn of the Biblical Protestant Reformation in Germany. Secondly, the establishment and purpose of the Society of Jesus by Ignatius Loyola will be given, stressing the Company’s Counter Reformation Council of Trent and its war on Islam for the securing of Jerusalem on behalf of the Papal Caesar. The Order’s ubiquitous Eighteenth Century political and commercial powers will be reviewed, they justifying the Society’s suppression and extinction by Pope Clement XIV thereby igniting the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars understood to be the Jesuit General’s war on the Vatican Empire via his Masonic avenger, Napoleon Bonaparte I. Certain key personages will be highlighted during the Order’s Nineteenth “Century of Disaster” culminating in the Twentieth Century’s Second Thirty Years’ War (1914-1945). Thirdly, the Company’s Machiavellian-Hegelian dialectic of the fascist/communist, Counter Reformation Cold War will be detailed with respect to the building of the Black Pope’s fascist International Intelligence Community having destroyed true nationalism while militarizing “the former” U.S.S.R, Red China and the Sunni/Wahhabi Moslem world in preparation for America’s Sino-Soviet-Moslem invasion. Lastly, a series of recommendations will be proposed to break the power of the Jesuit Order and restore the sovereignty of distinct nation states as defined by the Bible. |

First of all you profane useless article of lies, I do not have a squad. Neither does my mentor, Eric Jon Phelps. We are all independant researchers. We are all truthsayers who do not promote the usual nonsense you profane get suckered into. So keep going round on your Gerbal wheel while we naw on the bars of the cage we're imprisoned in. One things for sure, I will re-seal the cage when out so you profane can stay in and worship the nonsense continually as you do. Complete wastes of time you persons are. Doing nothing to help anyone else but yourself and infact simply putting yourself on a merry-go-round Ouroboros of never-ending bullshit. So carry on blame Evelyn De Rothschild for everything. The same Sabbatean Frankist HOFJUDEN of the Pope who entered a B.B.C studio. Would we see the powerful Pontifus Maximus Pope and Superior General or Queen Elizabeth II for that matter lower themselves and enter a B.B.C news studio? Of course not. Would we see a member of the Royal family on an Alex Jones show like that other Hofjuden Rothschild? Of course not, they pay Alex Jones through their Maltese network and nothing more lowering. So once again Jew haters, please answer my bloody question. Why did Shimon Peres of Israel hand over Jerusalem to the Pontifus Maximus from 1993 with the Oslo Accord? Answer that one. Once again Jew haters CANNOT because they are PROFANE. When they come out and learn about JESUITISM and the DRAGON they then see exactly why along with the rest of history. So stay hoodwinked you little pion of nothingness. Truth hurts doesn't it when it doesn't fit with your manipulated indoctrinating and controlled version of events. Strange how we have a American Protective League style attack on Eric Phelps just as he's got so popular he's now challenging CIA agents like Alex Jones, Texe Marrs and mystery school promoting agents of Rome. Wake up before it's too late!

I don't have a problem with people having been in the military, especially NCO's.
It is basic logical deduction that there are a large amount of true US patriots in the military - consider the generals that Bush removed or who quit over Iraq for example. Many military & ex-military believe in the defence of the Constitution & Bill of Rights, but are as in as much position as we are to change things. Those who demonstrate that there hearts are in the right place should be supported, not attacked or rejected. Why risk their necks for a bunch of people who have demonstrated that they'd never have their backs covered (to say the least)?
How betrayed would YOU feel if you found out the truth about your country being run by a bunch of traitorous pawns from across the ocean (whether you believed them to be based in Rome, London or Jerusalem or even all of the above?
Get real, friends - that must be a bitter pill to swallow indeed.
Texe Marrs though I have no support for though. In fact, quite the opposite.
See his disgraceful (unnamed) verbal attack on ERic Phelps & the Rome-exposing research group. This was full of out & out lies & total deliberate distortions about Eric & was a pathetic attempt to regain credibility with his CIA henchman Alex "Project Mockingbird" Jones.
These are the guys that the likes of "Azad" & "splintercell9" are in agreement with. Which speaks volumes:

Posted to an old sparring partner (albeit mostly good-natured on the whole):
Here is a user-friendly starting place to Jones's Jesuit connections:
http://troyspace2.wordpress.com/category/alex-c-i-a-jones/
Believe me, there is much other stuff that I could extrapolate on but there is more than enough there to make him guilty by multiple association:
http://troyspace2.wordpress.com/category/alex-c-i-a-jones/
This article, with relevant sections highlighted in red to bring out hat is hidden in plain sight at one of Jones' sites:
http://troyspace2.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/2006-04-28-alex-c-i-a-jones-john-jesuit-mcmanus-the-false-patriot-john-birch-society/
Excerpts:
Alex Jones could aptly be described as a brash, young Patrol Torpedo boat commander. As the leader of a small band of fearless dedicated sailors ... John McManus, the President of the John Birch Society, could just as aptly be described as a battle hardened Fleet Admiral, in command of a flotilla of dedicated sailors, cautiously planning and executing long term battle plans ... On April 27th [2006], via “The Alex Jones Show”, the PT Boat Commander and the Fleet Admiral finally met, and discovered that they are in the same Navy, taking orders from the same God ... reach out to allies such as Alex Jones ... Jones was obviously excited about what McManus said about the changes that are taking place within the Society, especially the news of the big tent approach the JBS is now taking. Jones said, “I want to work with you guys, to see you grow”, and McManus replied that he was “looking foreward to seeing the relationship continue”. If the crafty old Admiral now intends to acknowlege and appreciate the aid of an allied PT boat fleet, and if PT boat Commanders such as Alex Jones are willing to reciprocate…if the two types of warrior can now work together ...
This is the Jesuit-trained John F. McManus of the False Patriot John Birch Society that he is deferring to.
Jesuit-trained?
Yup, see:
http://troyspace2.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/john-f-mcmanus-the-jesuits-the-john-birch-society/
"John F. McManus was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1935. At graduation from Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts ... Jack left the engineering field in 1966 to accept a full-time position with our organization. Working closely with Founder Robert Welch for many years, he was named the Society’s Public Relations Director and its official spokesman. In 1991, he was appointed President. ...
The College of the Holy Cross is an exclusively undergraduate Roman Catholic liberal arts college located in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. Holy Cross is the oldest Roman Catholic college in New England and one of the oldest in the United States.
Opened as a school for boys under the auspices of the Society of Jesus, it was the first Jesuit college in New England. Today, Holy Cross is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities."
Need more on the False Patriot John Birch Society& its CFR, Masonic, SMOM & Jesuit links? We got plenty.
See:
http://troyspace2.wordpress.com/category/john-birch-society/
This anthology of devastating info for these Jesuit-loyal Masons with covert CFR & SMOM Knights of Malta connections is essential reading:
http://troyspace2.wordpress.com/2008/06/21/john-birch-society-reference-resource/
It's almost like - besides being an internal intelligence-gathering operation (like that of Jonesco) - the JBS was always intended to be a central forum in the US for all of these groups both directly & via their assets.
As I put in the prefaces to several of the articles that I bring to people's attention:
"On Alex Jones’ Infowars website there is an article where he is saying that - as close to outright as possible - he’s a JBSer: John Birch Society member. Consider his deferential position to Jesuit-trained JBS President John F. McManus. Now consider pro-Vatican Ron Paul’s endorsement of his “many friends” that are members of the highly Catholic John Birch Society (an organisation with many high-level Masons & long links to Knights of Malta) & read the articles “the John Birch Society” & “the Belmont Brotherhood” ... Jones & his old friend Jesuit-trained Pat Buchanan of the American branch of the Pope’s religious-military order the Knights of Malta, are Ron Paul’s staunchest supporters. Jones refuses to seriously examine the extent of the covert global manipulation of the Papacy, the Jesuits & the Knights of Malta, while Paul sang the praises of the previous pontiff & Buchanan is the uber-Catholic."
Check all of the above links. How many Jesuit connections does Jones need? Check the c. 1994/95 American Who's Who to confirm Buchanan's SMOM Maltese Knighthood.
Jones & Marrs lied outright & made gross distortions with everything they said about Eric - why do that unless they can't get him with the truth? Even Eric's solar harmonic-dependant, groundburst atomic detonation info was referred to as him believing that nukes were exploded via black magic. His geocentricity contention was described as him believing that the other dangles from a bouncing string or somesuch rubbish.
Eric's quite open diamond-importing business via which him & his wife have sold a grand total of about half a dozen gemstones is hardly being in the pocket of the Israeli government. The same Israeli political elites that Eric's pulled no punches in critiquing with a force that is simply beyond Jones.
Marrs is a Jewbaiter plain & simple & has exposed himself through his attack on Jesuit/Vatican/Catholic Knighthhood Exposers as a Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor & I suspect a high-level Masonic one, just like Billy Graham & Pat Robertson, those other False Protestants who have done as much as, if not more to destroy anti-Vatican, anti-Jesuit, Protest-ant Christianity both in the US & worldwide than anyone else. Marrs will never expose that the Torah-faithful Jews (& I'm not talking about those Naturei Karta Jesuit coadjutors either) are the victims of the Sabbataian, Masonic Labor Zionists loyal to their king, the Roman Papal Caesar.
Texe made one good movie exposing Rome years ago & now he says nothing & he has never done anything of note to expose the Jesuits or the Catholic & Papal Knighthood Orders. Jones only paid lip-service to the Jesuits in an attempt to keep the heat off him a few months back. Desperate measures by a desperate Agent.
John F. McManus head of the JBS is Jesuit-trained at Holy Cross & Knight of Malta Pat Buchanan (who is one of the staunchest US Catholics) is Jesuit-trained at Gonzaga College High & Georgetown Uni. Jones is on record as having deferred to McManus & is a supporter of Buchanan. Both Jones & Buchanan were two of false electoral campaign option, fellow JBS endorser, Masonic Ron Paul's strongest campaign supporters.
Is it any surprise that the JBS, Jones & Paul will not look into the Jesuits, the Vatican & the Catholic Knighthood Orders' unparallelled influence of global affairs. Bush kisses the Pope's ring for God's sake & McCain & Obama have both been filmed attending the National Catholic Prayer breakfast, surrounded by Jesuits & then filmed sitting on either side of their true master, Edward Cardinal Egan, the Archbishop of New York (who is a US Knight of Malta, French-Neapolitan Constantinian Knight & a Knight of the Duke of Savoy-led Order of Sts Maurice & Lazarus. The Duke of Savoy, Victor Emmanuel is a P2 Mason.
The history of the JBS is riddled with CFR & Knights of Malta connections. They are a complete fraud & an internal intelligence gathering & diversion operation. It's all in the links that I provided.
Jones' CIA connections? Again: Pat Buchanan & mass-media social-engineering Operation Mockingbird. Buchanan & Braden were/are working for the CIA in this.
See:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/analysis_louise_01_03_03_mockingbird.html
& Thomas Richards' excellent analysis here:
http://www.spirituallysmart.com/Jones-CIA.htm
I'm getting serious Deja Vu here. I was pushing this info hard on Myspace over a year ago & with Thomas managed to wake a few people up. Not enough people though, for sure.
Take a long hard second look at Jones & realize what a bad actor this guy is. I can only conclude that Jones has got away with his schtick for so long due to the pitifully poor quality of Hollywood films having lowered expectations & dimmed perceptions of what is real & what is false. Honestly I can barely muster up words describing how much Jones apalls me.
I will have to let the stated connections do the talking.

QUOTE FROM "AZAD":

interesting choice of words though, we the profane, hmm who else talks like that ? the masons do. |
"Azad": Are you really so naive as to think that if Craig was a Mason that he'd go around dropping the term "Profane" left, right & centre? Oh, perhaps you are...
Really my friend, you need a good dictionary if you're going to learn to speak English, also some basic understanding of word usage wouldn't go amiss:
| Quote: |
| Dictionary: profane |prəˈfān; prō-| adjective 1 relating or devoted to that which is not sacred or biblical; secular rather than religious : a talk that tackled topics both sacred and profane. • (of a person) not initiated into religious rites or any esoteric knowledge : he was an agnostic, a profane man. 2 (of a person or their behavior) not respectful of orthodox religious practice; irreverent : desecration of the temple by profane adolescents. • (of language) blasphemous or obscene. verb [ trans. ] treat (something sacred) with irreverence or disrespect : it was a serious matter to profane a tomb. Thesaurus: profane adjective: 1 subjects both sacred and profane secular, lay, nonreligious, temporal; formal laic. antonym religious, sacred. 2 a profane man irreverent, irreligious, ungodly, godless, unbelieving, impious, disrespectful, sacrilegious. antonym reverent. 3 profane language obscene, blasphemous, indecent, foul, vulgar, crude, filthy, dirty, smutty, coarse, rude, offensive, indecorous. antonym decorous. verb: invaders profaned our sacred temples desecrate, violate, defile, treat sacrilegiously. |
To which we could add "ignorant".
I quite like Craig's use of the term, which he reserves for those ignorant (especially those who obstinately remain dismissive) of the wealth of evidence & testimony of the unmatched evil & influence of Rome.
Sometimes I'll use the term "Conspiracy Profane" in a similar manner.
Very apt I'd say.

http://www.outlawjournalism.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1853&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=140 Quote: To tell the truth I didn’t know much about the diamond industry apart from the ‘it’s all bad’ crowd. Having done some research just now, I can see that there is some morally/ethically bad sources, but that’s not the whole story. It seems that since 2003 there have been steps taken to ensure that by & large ‘conflict diamonds’ or ‘blood diamonds’ getting into the US are mostly kept to a minimum.
Coffee & chocolate industries are almost all brutal slave-like conditions, unless you go fair trade (which I do), but bet that most people knocking Eric’s arrangements here don’t. Also they are probably buying US products (along with the Chinese ones) & don’t associate those with supporting the US Government, so why make equate doing business with Israelis as being the same as doing business with the Israeli government, which Eric ceaselessly criticizes & rejects when he discusses them?
Still its easier to bitch & speculate than do research & consider the facts.
Bearing all that in mind & knowing the responses of the ‘conspiracy crowd’, I guess that such a ‘find’ is inevitably going to be used as the number one weapon in a campaign to knock Eric & the Jesuit/Vatican expose researchers.
Here’s some links to brush up on the diamond industry in a balanced manner. Quite interesting:

http://troyspace2.wordpress.com/2008/07/31/eric-phelps-defines-the-six-zionisms/ Quote: ERIC PHELPS DEFINES THE SIX ZIONISMS
Re: ZIONISMS LISTING REQUEST FOR A FRIEND
From: Eric Phelps (eric@vaticanassassins.org)
Sent: 24 July 2008 18:35:40
To: troy
Dear Brother Troy,
The six Zionisms are:
1. Masonic Jewish Labor Zionists—who worked for the pope during WWI, WWII and the founding of Israel which Rome considers to be its revived Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.
2. Revisionist Zionists—led by Jabotinsky who was murdered in Hunter, New York, and whose followers were neutralized or murdered by the Labor Zionists. The classic on Vladimir Jabotinsky is Lone Wolf in two volumes.
3. Orthodox Talmudic Zionists—led by extreme Orthodox rabbis who believe that the racial/religious Jewish people have no right to live in the land of Israel until the Messiah arrives. Thus, they are ignorant of their own Hebrew Scriptures which clearly state that when Messiah appears there must be a nation of Israel and a Jerusalem inhabited by Jews to save from invading Gentile armies.
4. Christian Zionists—led by pro-Jesuit futurists who back both the government of Israel and the right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. They refuse to distinguish between the government of Israel (which is evil and ruled from Rome via the Order’s Masonic Jewish Labor Zionists) and the Lord’s beloved Hebrew/Jewish/Israelitic people living in the land promised to Abraham and his seed forever in Genesis 15:18.
5. Anti-Jesuit/anti-Vatican Christian Zionists—led by anti-Jesuit, biblical futurists holding to a literal reading of the prophets, maintaining that the beloved Hebrew/Jewish/Israelitic people have a right to live in their promised land apart from obedience to the law of Moses, now done away. They abhor the government of Israel as being totally controlled by Rome through the pope’s New York City-based Council on Foreign Relations to the detriment of the Jewish people living in Israel. They oppose the government of Israel, but defend the Jewish people’s right to live in the promised land of Israel to the exclusion of all Arabs and non-racial Jews.
6. The Lord Jesus Christ—the foremost Biblical Zionist who will restore the Kingdom of David upon his return, will smash all Gentile political and military power, and will rule the world bringing comfort to Zion (Jerusalem).
These are the six Zionists. I am of the fifth catagory.
Sincerely in faith,
Brother Eric

The (crypto-Frankist Sabbatain) Labor Zionists serve the Jesuits & thus hate Judaism & all other racially Jewish people (i.e. those that don't covertly serve Rome. See John 19:15: "But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priest answered, We have no king but Caesar"
These were false Jews & of the Babylonian Mystery religion in fact. This tradition of anti-Jewish Jews has gone on since Babylon. The centre of the occultism of Babylon shifted to Rome & has had servants in Jerusalem who have betrayed the Jewish people both in Israel two millennium ago, then in Europe under instruction from Rome through till the end of the Second World War (in reality the latter part of the Pope's Second Thirty Years War)

Indeed, DIMG. And here's an interesting (though only partly accurate, due to its ignoring of the Jesuits in favour of their creation Opus Dei) article extracted from Nexus Magazine, Volume 7, Number 5 (August-September 2000) or September-October 2000 in the USA only.:
| Quote: |
| Holy Smoke and Mirrors The Vatican Conspiracy by David G. Guyatt, 2000 THE MAFIA, THE CIA, AND THE VATICAN'S INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS Albert Vincent Carone is one of those people who spent his life dancing between raindrops and turning invisible wherever a shadow lingered. He existed and also didn't exist. Al Carone--unlike his near namesake, Al Capone--truly was a paradox wrapped in a mystery concealed behind an enigma. Carone was a detective in the New York Police Department, but this didn't stop him from becoming a "made" man in the Genovese crime family. He knew all the leading Mafiosi of his day, including Vito Genovese, Sam Giancana, Santos Trafficante, Joe Colombo and Pauley Castellano amongst others. To Carone's daughter, Dee, they were all known as "Uncle". When she got married, her father arranged two different reception rooms to separate the Mob guests from the NYPD guests. But this was more window-dressing than anything else. One of Carone's principal functions in the NYPD was to act as the "bagman" in protecting shipments of CIA drugs to the various Mafia families. Carone died in 1990 under mysterious circumstances. This followed a period of great personal disenchantment with his life, following a secretive mission to Mexico in 1985 when a large number of innocent women and children died unnecessarily. His death was horrific, reports Mike Ruppert, editor of From The Wilderness newsletter, who has investigated Carone's life story and written a special report on it (see acknowledgements). Meanwhile, another "Uncle" was Bill Casey, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency during the Reagan Administration. Casey had been with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. During the 1970s, he became Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which regulates the US investment industry. During his tenure in that role, Casey used Carone as a "cut out" to pass sensitive insider information to Mob capo Pauley Castellano, says his daughter, Dee. Carone was also a Full Colonel in the US Army, where he had operated in the Army's Counter Intelligence Corp (CIC). Unsurprisingly, in view of his close friendship with Bill Casey, he was also a covert operative for the CIA. But that wasn't half of it. Carone was also a Grand Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM), which historically has been the military arm of the Vatican and is regarded as a separate State with full powers of statehood, including issuing its own diplomatic passports. In more recent decades SMOM has acted as a funding conduit, a black market gold channel and money laundry for the CIA, amongst others, and is known to act as the Vatican's intelligence arm. It was alleged to be involved in, for example, the disappearance of Russia's gold reserves--over 2,000 metric tonnes--which vanished during 1991, around the time that Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev was ousted from office. Malta knighthoods are awarded to many leading individuals who are part of the military and intelligence community. The CIA's Bill Casey, for example, was a Knight of Malta. Former NATO General and later US Secretary of State Alexander Haig is also a Malta Knight. Another is General Vernon Walters, the former Deputy Director of the CIA under DCI George Bush, and later appointed a roving ambassador during the Reagan Administration. The legendary head of the OSS (the WWII precursor of the CIA), "Wild" Bill Donovan, was made a Knight along with his wartime compatriot and later CIA Chief of Counterintelligence, James Jesus Angleton. And John McCone, another prominent member of the US "spook" agency, was also distinguished with a Malta knighthood. The list goes on. Most interesting is Reinhard Gehlen, the former Nazi intelligence expert recruited by the US in 1945&endash;46 to head the Gehlen Org--a secret, German-based intelligence arm of the United States that was composed of former SS and Gestapo agents, many of whom, including Klaus Barbie, were wanted Nazi war criminals. The foregoing names amount to a listing of some of the most powerful and influential members of the Western intelligence community over the last five decades. One Vatican group that has extremely close ties to the Knights of Malta is the ultra-right-wing Opus Dei. This is an immensely powerful faction in the Vatican today, and its public "do good" activities eclipse a plethora of the darkest political and financial machinations known to man. It will not come as a surprise, perhaps, that Carone was closely associated with Opus Dei and, in particular, with a covert operation that had its origin back in 1944. This was Operation Amadeus. FROM RATLINES TO DRUG SMUGGLING ROUTES This highly secretive operation was part of the Operation Sunrise negotiations conducted between Allen Dulles--the then senior wartime OSS officer in Switzerland, but later to become the Director of the CIA--and SS General Karl Wolff. This debonair and well-connected SS officer commanded the SS and Gestapo contingents in Italy at the time. The result of these negotiations (at least those parts that are now known about) was an agreement affording amnesty to an extensive roster of SS&endash;Gestapo forces, in exchange for their agreement to shift their allegiance to the West in the pre-planned, covert battle aimed at defeating the Soviet communist "menace"--in other words, the "Cold War". One spin-off of these Dulles&endash;Wolff arrangements were the Vatican-run "ratlines" that aided wanted Nazi war criminals to slink to safety. Tens of thousands of SS and other Nazis escaped capture as a result of the ratlines. These included such figures as Franz Stangl, commandant at Treblinka extermination camp, and his friend Gustav Wagner, who ran the Sobibor death camp. Others to escape in this manner included Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust. Eichmann was later captured by Israeli intelligence agents, smuggled to Tel Aviv where he stood trial and was eventually executed. In comparison, Dr Joseph Mengele--known as "the White Angel", a war criminal wanted for his cruel and inhuman experiments on death camp inmates at Auschwitz--escaped to Argentina and lived a long life. Operation Amadeus was exclusively concerned with the flight of SS and Nazi war criminals to the South American continent and their later ferocious covert actions against the indigenous populations justified under the banner of "anti-communism". One individual engaged in Amadeus activities was former Gestapo officer Klaus Barbie, known to the world as "the Butcher of Lyon". The principal means of funding Operation Amadeus activities was the hugely profitable narcotics business. Large stocks of SS morphia had been smuggled out of Europe and into "Catholic" South America at the end of the War in accordance with the Sunrise agreement. The morphia was accompanied by looted SS gold and large quantities of counterfeit British banknotes, forged in concentration camps by captive but skilled counterfeiters as part of an SS scheme known as Operation Bernhardt. The escape "lines" used to move wanted men around South America, away from the prying eyes of Israeli agents, also proved ideal as smuggling routes for drugs. Decades later, the stocks of heroin smuggled into the United States for distribution by the CIA-protected Mafia would be complemented with locally grown cocaine. One of the figures to emerge into the spotlight during the 1980s who was deeply involved in this narcotics traffic was Colonel Oliver North, who authorised the exchange of guns for drugs to finance Contra operations. Oliver North was known to Al Carone under his "work" name, "John Caffrey". This was the time when Carone was engaged in CIA-controlled cocaine transactions with Joe "Pickles" Percilia, a member of the Colombo crime family. These curious and usually concealed connections between governments (in the form of the military and intelligence community), organised crime, the Vatican and Nazi war criminals have some significant history. Not least was the secret agreement reached between US Naval Intelligence officers and Mafia don Charles "Lucky" Luciano during World War II. This resulted in the Mafia's decision to aid and assist the Allies by contacting Mob figure Vito Genovese in 1943 to prepare the way for the Allied landing in Sicily. As earlier outlined, it was primarily those SS&endash;Gestapo units located in Italy under command of SS General Wolff that were initially concerned in the Operation Sunrise negotiations. And while large numbers of former Nazis were fleeing south to fight the communist menace in Latin America--and, more importantly, to profit personally from their involvement in the lucrative drug and gun business--in Europe, the spadework was being laid to overthrow or thwart democratically elected governments via a network of fascist-manned "Stay Behind units", organised under the aegis of Operation Gladio. Not surprisingly, this would also lead to certain involved figures making personal fortunes out of other people's misery--a circumstance that is so commonplace it is barely worth mentioning. These neo-fascist activities would come to prominence in the early 1980s following the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano and the death of Italian banker Roberto Calvi, who was "suicided" and left hanging under London's Blackfriars Bridge. This would lead to sensational disclosures about the role of the Vatican Bank, the IOR, in Calvi's financial empire and would quickly grow to include the activities of Mafia financier Michele Sindona--whose activities, in turn, would implicate leading blue-blood banks in Europe and America in Mafia activities. Both Sindona and Calvi were close to Opus Dei, which lost around $55 million when Sindona's empire crashed. According to his family, Roberto Calvi was deeply engrossed in helping Opus Dei take control of the IOR when he was killed. Meanwhile, both Calvi and Sindona were members of the secretive Propaganda Due (P2) masonic lodge, which is said to have been a "parallel government" in waiting and which planned to effect a coup d'état in Italy following a Communist Party victory at the polls. P2 was run by former Italian fascist and member of the Nazi SS, Licio Gelli--dubbed "the Puppet Master" by the Italian press. Gelli's connections to the ultra-hard-right and fascists in Europe and Latin America were extensive. In fact, he had been deeply involved in establishing the Vatican-run ratlines that aided the worst Nazi war criminals to escape Allied justice at the end of WWII. All told, an estimated 50,000 Nazis were helped to freedom. Gelli had numerous powerful friends, including former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. He was also a personal friend of Argentina's General Juan Perón, and his close associations with Argentina would later lead him to be a key figure in shipping a supply of French Exocet missiles to sink British Task Force ships during the Falklands War. In this endeavour he worked closely with Ronald R. Rewald, founder of the Hawaiian-based financial institution Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham & Wong--a CIA proprietary company and forerunner of the CIA-owned Nugan Hand Bank. The involvement of a CIA front company engaged in financing and providing weapons to be used against a key American ally (Britain) with the wholehearted public support of the US Government may seem somewhat duplicitous. However, in the world of "black ops", "friends" and "enemies" are interchangeable words and working both sides of the fence is accepted practice. In terms of hierarchy, Gelli reported to Umberto Ortolani, described by one writer as "the great Vatican door-opener" and "secret chamberlain of the papal household". In addition to his P2 connections, Ortolani is also a member of the inner council of the Knights of Malta and has military intelligence connections that date back to WWII. THE OCTOPUS AND THE SPIDER There are numerous other masonic groups and secret societies in Europe which move in and out of focus at various times. Almost all of them are Catholic in nature. One of these is the Priory of Sion (Prieuré de Sion)--a secretive order that first came to public attention via the best-selling book, The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail, published in 1982. The Priory is closely connected with the alleged treasure of Solomon which is said to have found its way to the small village of Rennes-le-Château in southwestern France, where it is said to have been buried by the Knights Templars, forerunners of the Knights of Malta. The Priory, whose headquarters were located at Annemasse, near Geneva on the Swiss border, are styled as the "guardians" of Solomon's treasure, but, most interestingly, they have numerous subterranean connections to fascists and those on the far right that date back to WWII. Meanwhile, it has to be noted in passing that Annemasse is said to have been the centre for the anti-communist Stay Behind units of Operation Gladio. If this is not intriguing enough, another fact stretches coincidence to the point of bursting. In recent years, the Priory of Sion has moved its headquarters to Barcelona and now boasts a Spanish Grand Master. This, one could conclude, is to enable it to be physically closer to the historical heartland of Opus Dei, which was founded in Spain in 1928. If Otto Skorzeny was a leading force in running the SS Brotherhood escape routes--Der Spinne, the Spider--after the war, and SS General Karl Wolff was the lead negotiator with OSS Swiss Chief, Allen Dulles, then another Nazi, Walter Rauff, head of the Milan SD, was one of two liaisons with the Vatican involved in the establishment of the Nazi-smuggling system. Earlier in his career, Rauff had overseen the development of the Nazis' mobile gas vans, known as "Black Ravens", which gassed to death around 100,000 Jews, mostly women and children, by pumping exhaust fumes into the back of an hermetically sealed van. Another important link between the Vatican and SS escape routes was Friedrich Schwendt, who was also the man in charge of laundering forged SS banknotes. Before WWII, Schwendt was an international arms dealer who shipped weapons to China and Russia. He was also the investment manager of the family fortune of his first wife's aunt, Baroness Gemmingen-Guttenberg, of the vastly wealthy Argentina-based Bunge family, of the massive transnational firm Bunge Corporation that is also known as "the Octopus". This title is interesting, for it may connect to the so-called "Octopus" that ties in to murdered freelance journalist Danny Casolaro, who at the time of his death in 1991 was investigating a number of high-level illegalities including the theft by the Department of Justice of a "tracking" computer program known as "PROMIS". Casolaro was writing a book about what he had discovered. He originally titled it "Behold, A Pale Horse", but later modified it to "The Octopus". In a draft page of the book, he described this group as an "international cabal whose freelance services covered parochial political intrigue, espionage, sophisticated weapon technologies that included biotoxins, drug trafficking, money laundering and murder-for-hire". Casolaro further stated that this cabal was "spawned thirty years ago in the shadow of the Cold War". After Casolaro's death, journalist Carol Marshall (a pen name) followed up his investigation and wrote an (as yet) unpublished manuscript, titled "The Last Circle". In this, Marshall describes her investigation of Robert Booth Nichols--one of the central figures of the Octopus, whom she describes as being part of a secretive group known as "the Chosen Ones" and who wore "skull and crossbones rings and shared a common interest, if you could call it that, in the old German SS occultism, its tribal and inner circle rites". During her continuing investigation into the Octopus, Marshall found that the SS occultism outlined above was connected to Lt. Col. Michael A. Aquino, a former US Green Beret who is a self-professed Satanist and who held a Top Secret security clearance for his work in military intelligence and on classified psychological warfare matters. Aquino officiated at SS black-magic ceremonies held at Wewelsburg, the castle once used by SS chief Heinrich Himmler to create an SS order of Teutonic knights based on the Knights Templars. The foregoing connections lend themselves to a larger picture of global, interlocking, right-wing fascist groupings that operate in the shadowland of deniable military and intelligence operations associated with profit during WWII and, later, throughout the Cold War. In this respect, it is intriguing to note that the Priory of Sion, one of the foremost Catholic groups under discussion, uses as a symbol something that is variously described as an octopus or a spider (araignée) on its documents. The Priory's association with the octopus could easily relate to the so-called Octopus described above, where organised crime works hand in glove with operatives from US intelligence and the military. If one decides, on the other hand, that the Priory symbol is a spider, there is the intriguing notion of the Vatican-run Nazi escape lines of Austrian Catholic Otto Skorzeny and his SS Brotherhood's Der Spinne (the Spider). THE BUSINESS OF GOD Al Carone was, as mentioned earlier, a "made" man of the Genovese Mob in addition to his other associations. It is curious, therefore, to note that one of the leading lights of the Octopus, according to writer Carol Marshall, was ultra-right-wing oil tycoon Clint Murchison, owner of the Dallas Cowboys football team. Murchison's oil company, Murchison Oil Lease Company, was 20 per cent owned by Gerardo Catena, the chief lieutenant of the Genovese crime family. Throughout the Second World War and thereafter there was, according to author Charles Higham in his book, Trading With The Enemy, a "general agreement of certain major figures of American, British and German commerce to continue their relations and associations after Pearl Harbor". Higham adds that he also learned that "certain figures of the warring governments had arranged to assist in this [activity]". Higham's subsequent research proved that this high cabal--which he dubbed "the Fraternity"--not only existed but benefited handsomely throughout WWII. This led the author to ask: What would have happened if millions of Americans and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey managers shipped the enemy's fuel through neutral Switzerland and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars' worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan? Or that Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorisation from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that Colonel Sosthenes Behn, the head of the international American telephone conglomerate ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help improve Hitler's communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London? Or that ITT built the Focke-Wulfs that dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that crucial ball-bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with the collusion of the Vice-Chairman of the US War Production Board, in partnership with Göring's cousin in Philadelphia, when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored? Higham's "Fraternity" has similar characteristics to the so-called "Octopus", and also shows certain similarities to Colonel Oliver North's "Enterprise". All have engaged in the most dubious and illegal activities for profit, and all operate hand in glove with organised crime. All lean so far to the right, ideologically speaking, that the word "fascist" can be used without reservation. Meanwhile, none of them cares very much for the woes of humanity and, indeed, they appear committed to stomping on ethics and moral values wherever they meet them. The octopus--or "Oct Opus", as one European documentary film producer renders the spelling when referring to Opus Dei (which began life on 2 October 1928)--has eight arms that surround its mouth (ensuring a constant supply of food) and three hearts, and is therefore not prone to starving or dying. But it can also be identified by these oddities. Opus Dei, the group that is now in control of the Vatican, is undoubtedly one arm of this global criminal network, in this writer's view. Or are the three hearts of the octopus more vital to identify? Could they be analogous to the "Church, State and Mafia, the forces that prevail beneath the play of the shadows of the world" (as described by Nick Tosches in his book, Power On Earth, which tells the life story of murdered Mafia financier Michele Sindona)? There is yet another interesting twist to this accumulation of associations: Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands. The Prince was the founding chairman of the publicity-shy Western power elite, the Bilderbergers. This shadowy and secretive group meets over a weekend in May/June each year, under an almost total media blackout [see deBriefings this issue]. Powerful and very influential figures from the world of banking, business, politics, the media, trades unions and academia are invited. Included regularly, for example, are Dr Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and Italy's "king-maker", Gianni Agnelli. The first meeting took place in May 1954. This, strangely, was the same year that Prince Bernhard became head of the Johanitter Orde in Nederland, one of four orders that make up the Chivalric Alliance of Orders of Saint John (Alliance de Chevalerie des Hospitaliers de Saint Jean de Jérusalem). The stated purpose of these four, known as "the Alliance"--which is composed of northern European nations Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and Great Britain, the latter being an ancient order known as "the Most Venerable Order"--is "to reduce to silence the enemies of Christ". The headquarters of the Alliance are located in Switzerland. These are Protestant orders rather than Catholic, but it is of significance that, on 26 November 1963, the Alliance was "consolidated with the signing of a joint declaration between the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Most Venerable Order, at St John's Gate, London, by the Grand Chancellor of the SMOM, the Prince of Resuttano, and Lord Wakehurst, Lord Prior of the Most Venerable Order". In other words, the Catholic and Protestant orders bound themselves to work together to "silence the enemies of Christ"--a clear reference to communism. Interestingly, it has been suggested that the Knights Templars were "infected" with the Johannite or Mandaean heresy that denounced Jesus as a "false prophet" and in his place recognised John the Baptist as the true Messiah. Meanwhile, two early Grand Masters of the Priory of Sion are said to have had Johannite tendencies: Leonardo da Vinci and Sir Isaac Newton. Notwithstanding that, the famous founder of the Knights Templars, Hughes de Payens, has been accused by the Vatican of being a Johannite. Leaving aside this brief foray into esoteric history, it is as well to note that Prince Bernhard, in addition to his Bilderberg role and as head of the Dutch Johannite Order, was also an honorary member of Himmler's SS and worked in NW7, the global intelligence arm of I.G. Farben which acted in the interests of the Nazi cause. The activities of NW7 in Latin America before, during and after World War II are deeply interwoven in this story. In facilitating and aligning itself with many of the foregoing activities, the Vatican aimed to help eradicate a communist ideology that despised Christianity. Opus Dei and a host of other Catholic-cum-fascist secret groups engaged in a litany of murder, money laundering, drug peddling, arms trafficking, concealment of WWII loot, embezzlement, manipulation of financial markets and many other consummate illegalities. The purpose of all these activities was, arguably, to allow the Vatican to remain the spiritual bulwark of the Christian West. But if such business is the business of a Church preaching of a God in Heaven, then Caesar on Earth had better watch out. A new landlord has fallen into town.
