I am glad that this latest news report did not overlook what happened to Roberto Calvi:

There is little doubt that Tedeschi has reason to be worried for his safety. Three decades ago, another of “God’s bankers,” Roberto Calvi, was found hanging from a noose under Blackfriars Bridge in London. His pockets were weighted down with bricks and cash. Calvi was not the head of the IOR like Gotti Tedeschi, but he was closely tied to the Vatican’s secret banking structure  as head of Banco Ambrosiano, which went bankrupt at the time amid allegations of money laundering, Mafia collusion, and generally questionable banking practices. The Vatican owned a small stake in the bank, but wielded great influence over Calvi, who knew the Vatican’s deepest financial secrets. The mystery into Calvi’s death has never been solved. First thought to be a suicide, evidence later pointed to murder. “There are some similarities between the situation of Gotti Tedeschi and what my family lived through during the trial of currency violations of 1981,” Roberto Calvi’s son Carlo told The Daily Beast. He says his father could not have defended himself without exposing the whole structure, and that’s what led to his demise. “While it is difficult for the public to appreciate this, there has always been an attitude of intolerance, isolation, and stubborness with those who set up this type of fiduciary relationship to evade regulations, and this makes them take risks that would be unimaginable to most.”

The Vatican chronically takes risks consistent with a psychopathic personality. Inside Vatican City, it's a centuries-old encrusted, self-selective culture of sociopaths.

The Catholic Church...always in the middle ages.

How do we get backed into this-or-that "zone" again, from time to time ... Alfie?
Is it (1.) all some random arbitrary roulette wheel of world events and affairs in separate unconnected&unassociated 'sectors' (of the Economy), happening to each turn on its separate axis just right and coincidentally bump into or get tangled up or wires crossed with the other ('sector')?
Or (2.) is there some untold 'agent' behind the scenes of 'events and affairs,' operating strings and levers orchestrated for a choreography of world-ruler 'empire' by a malevolent 'Intelligent Designer' among us?

I guess 'events and affairs' spectacles as 'news' going on are all Number 2.
Someone(s) of genius could be directing currents, tides, and influences of minute devilish details, and acting in plain sight of everyone but so meticulous that it becomes too tedious for us to keep track of or connect and keep up with -- although (or because) every geopolitical chess move is openly reported to us, in our harried rat-race mazes, all the pesky 'news' particulars. Someone(s) Official acting 'transparent' all right, as clear as seeing through an aerosol spray ... of sound bites. and file footage.

Of course there are covert world-breaking 'agents' intentionally dropping malevolent effect on us, We The Folks (WTF) earthlings. U and I can be certain there's an empowered 'they' who, in order to more hold power, mean to harm WTF. Such as: where did the anthrax come from mailed to our lawmakers? Answer: 'Them'.

Obviously malevolent. If we could just remember the names in detail we could indict 'them', one by one, named case by named case.

The Daily Beast 'news' report lays out many details ... and leaves them out, unconnected.
Is the 'organized religion' Pontification going on for centuries simply a ponzi scheme, for recruits, to defraud? If so, shouldn't that Big Picture be on the evening TV 'news'?

What I'm getting at is a comparison of two versions of the same 'news.'
(1.) as reported by Daily Beast, (2.) as reported by WayneMadsenReport.
In the Vatican press 'release' it looks and smells like number 2.

June 4-5,2012 -- Obama White House behind Vatican scandal

WMR's well-placed sources in Rome report that the current scandal involving the disclosure of sensitive Vatican documents to "VatiLeaks," is largely the work of White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs chief Cass Sunstein. The effort by Sunstein, who has been dubbed President Obama's "information czar," is to weaken the Vatican and subject its inner workings to greater transparency.

WMR has learned that some three weeks ago, Sunstein stated to his inner circle, "After the Arab Spring, we will have the Vatican Spring."

According to our sources in the Vatican, the arrest of papal butler Paolo Gabriele by Vatican authorities for allegedly leaking the documents is a diversion. "When have you last heard the butler did it?" one Vatican insider told WMR.

The Vatican is being subjected to a full-scale assault by the same nexus of George Soros-funded non-governmental organizations, Sunstein's "cognitive infiltration" operatives, and controlled media elements that helped bring about "themed revolutions" and the downfall of governments in Serbia, Ukraine, Georgia, Tunisia, Egypt, and other countries.

The controversy surrounding the Vatican Bank, formally known as the Institute of Works of Religion (IOR), began when J.P. Morgan Chase closed an IOR account at its branch in Milan, citing a lack of transparency. That was followed by the firing by the IOR's supervisory board of Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, a former Banco Santander executive, for pushing for more transparency for the Vatican Bank and compliance with the EU's laws on financial transparency. However, the J.P. Morgan Chase action was, according to our sources, prompted by Sunstein and his colleagues at the Treasury and State Departments. On March 7, the State Department, for the first time, added the Holy See to its list of money-laundering nations. That move triggered a wave of financial pressure on the IOR and Vatican, which was aided and abetted by Tedeschi. The IOR board then ousted Tedeschi.

WMR has been told that the Vatican came under pressure after it had backed the initiatives of the BRICS bloc of nations -- Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa -- to seek a realignment of the world's financial system to provide greater influence for the emerging economies of BRICS and a reorientation of financial control away from London, Frankfurt, New York, and Washington. The Vatican's policy placed it on the list of de facto enemies of Soros, the Rothschild banking cartel, the European Central Bank, and the World Bank/International Monetary Fund.

There has been speculation about the role of the IOR's secretary, Carl Anderson, in the push-back by the Vatican against the Obama White House's Vatican Spring operations. Anderson is the head of the Knights of Columbus and he served as an official in the Reagan White House and as an aide for the late North Carolina Republican senator Jesse Helms. In the 1980s, the IOR and the partly-Vatican owned Banco Ambrosiano were used by the CIA to covertly fund a number of anti-communist operations around the world, including the contras in Nicaragua who had the strong support of Reagan and Helms.

In 1982, Banco Ambrosiano chief Roberto Calvi was found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London. Calvi was a member of the powerful Masonic Propaganda Due (P2) lodge in Italy and after his firing it was feared by P2 that he might reveal the nature of secret payments by the lodge involving the Vatican and the bank. P2 members called themselves frati neri, Italian for 'black friars.' There is strong evidence that Calvi was murdered by P2 agents.

In 1983, Emanuela Orlandi, a 16-year old student and Vatican citizen, was kidnapped, used for sex parties, and was murdered. Orlandi's father, Ercole Orlandi, was an official of the IOR who had knowledge of the P2 and the Banco Ambrosiano covert payments scandal. WMR has learned that the same operatives who murdered Calvi in London also murdered Emanuela after her father refused to provide P2 with requested information. The P2 agents held Emanuela and may have sexually assualted her but after Emanuela's father refsued to cooperate, the young girl was murdered. The exhumation of the grave of mafia gangster Enrico De Pedis this past May 12 in a search for clues about Emanuela's murderers yielded nothing. However, the exhumation provided a backdrop [of the "zone" 'we're back in'] for Sunstein, Soros, Rupert Murdoch, and neo-conservative media outlets to run headlines, such as "Emanuela Orlandi Kidnapped for Vatican Sex Parties." The recycling of the Orlandi "cold case" murder 'news' was timed to put additional pressure on the Vatican.

The White House-initiated Vatican Spring has opened up a schism within the Vatican hierarchy, similar to what has happened in China and Russia as a result of other White House/Soros political undermining tactics. Pope Benedict XVI is now isolated and the Vatican's powerful number two official, Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, is circling the wagons to defend the Holy See against the Vatican Spring operations. Tedeschi and his allies, who reportedly include former Vatican Secretary General Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, now the Apostolic Nuncio in Washington, DC, are arrayed against the traditional Vatican hierachy, particularly Bertone. Vigano replaced Cardinal Pietro Sambi, the former Apostolic Nuncio to Israel and Palestine, who was a fierce opponent of Israel's seizure of Christian church property in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Sambi died after routine surgery in Baltimore that later resulted in lung complications. A source close to Sambi said he believes that Sambi's surgery involved "medically-assisted homicide."

Here's a 'fun' little news item in recent days.

Something I think about: Could a billionaire 'buy out' the Pope's operations (or enterprise?) and sell it off in pieces?

Tenskwatawa. What the what?

There is no one discretely themed "time" the world around you gets "backed into".

Or (2.) is there some untold 'agent' behind the scenes of 'events and affairs,' operating strings and levers orchestrated for a choreography of world-ruler 'empire' by a malevolent 'Intelligent Designer' among us?

There are always going to be events in the past that could be compared to present events. In this case don't you think the most sane explanation for this supposed connection would be that there has been a certain culture and persons operating in it that has been up to some hijinx for a long time at the Vatican? It was reported on in the past and it's reported on now. No outside force pulling strings is necessary. Clueless people doing what's worked in the past and unscrupulous people being bad. There's billions of autonomous humans in the world. There's nothing there with the news articles. Take your seroquel man.

These dudes run the gambit:

• Wear skirts in public.

• But, denounce LGBT's.

• But, are pedophiles.

• And, who are S***ty corrupt bankers.

• Who openly declare they drink blood.

• And, who bilk the uneducated poor worldwide to underwrite their totally bizarre lifestyles.

• Oh, and then they tell us how we must conduct ourselves.

• Oh, and then they torture us to save our souls.

• And tell us Mormons are a "cult."

Religion, any religion, was just another way of controlling the masses before there was so called government. Now we seem get the worst of both forms of populist control and it is not a good combination.
