1:01 been a couple minutes of getting started a couple minutes of getting okay hopefully uh everybody can hear me just fine now that we've got the video working again yay so this is my home away from home we're referring it now to it now as my mobile command post so i want to go over

2:15 briefly an overview with everybody and um so we left off on our last video towards the end of it talking about turkey and i spent a little bit of time um doing a little digging into turkey and i'm gonna share that with y'all before we get into the two chapter reviews so by way of an overview i like to do just about a

2:51 five minute overview each time to kind of get people in case this is their first video and they haven't watched the preceding videos to give them a flavor of what we're looking at here. So what the trend that we're seeing in all of this is that a country is targeted on whether or not it's a good candidate to grow opium.

3:20 slash drugs in general, or create drugs. The auspices of them using a particular country is under the guise of preventing communism. But we know from having gone over Antony Sutton's books that these are the same people that created communism. So it's almost as if, and I don't think it's almost, I think it's exactly this.

3:56 they created communism to be the big bad wolf and they use it literally to justify any amount of murder so once they set their sights on a particular country there has to be a coup in order to unseat the current president because or prime minister because in general they were there

4:28 either hereditarily, as in a king, or via an election. And contrary to the save the democracy garbage, none of these people are for democracy at all. So the next thing has to be a coup. And just like it was done in Russia, Vietnam, Burma, Bolivia, Chile, and...

4:57 frankly, all over Europe in getting rid of the monarchies. So then you have to set up Gladio units, and these are going to be used to, as the cattle prods, to get the people to not notice that they now have a dictator or a communist in charge of them. So they're still going to pretend that...

5:30 This person, either through a fake election or whatever, is all about the best interest because they'll sell them as nationalists and anti-communists, which they're none of that. They're a dictator. They're in it for the money and they're going to get paid off. And they use the Gladio units to quell any domestic anger by killing them. So all in the name of communism.

6:03 The collapse of communism in Russia was devastating to them. And for those of you who keep track of things, the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union happened in 1991. So I did a little digging around and it just so happens that China was given most favorable trade.

6:37 in 1993. So just as we shop for dictators and drugs and money laundering and human trafficking locations, we also have to have the communist enemy. So China, which had already had two coups, the first one was to unseat the emperor.

7:10 And they got Chiang. The second one, because he turned out to be too much of a nationalist for the West slash CIA. So he had to go. And we ended up with Mao. So these are homegrown communists to be the boogeyman in the anti-communist march. So in doing a little bit of research, I found.

7:40 that Bill Clinton's personally thanked Democrat Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and Nancy Pelosi for help in getting past most favorable trade status for China. And if you look into George Mitchell, who was a senator from Maine, he was the envoy to Northern Ireland where gladiator units were used.

8:13 He was the envoy to the Middle East, where gladiator units still are. He was the vice chair of the 9-11 Terror Commission, which we all know, at least I now know, is part of this whole effort to create domestic terror using Middle East.

8:45 terror units, which are part of Operation Gladio. He's Catholic, and so is Nancy, and we know that the Catholic Church has been integral in the setting up of gladiator units. He also spent, in the 1950s, his service time in counterintelligence in the Army. He was chairman of Walt Disney. He also was a lawyer at DLA Piper, which were

9:16 anyone that doesn't know is an international legal group that gets people that have CIA ties out of legal trouble. He voted against Clarence Thomas, and he's quoted as saying that he voted against Clarence Thomas because it was a racial quota. Let that sink in for just a second. The party that's all about affirmative action and racial quotas,

9:50 said they voted against a black man because it was a racial quota. He helped create NAFTA and the World Trade Organization. He's also on Jeffrey Epstein's flight log. And one named specifically by Virginia Goffrey as having had sex with her as part of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. So great guys.

10:24 All part of the international syndicate, obviously. So I want to look at what I found on Turkey. And I want to go back and talk for a second about something that we found on the Pan-Germany coalition. Excuse me. When we were talking about the third way and doing.

11:00 that book review so i'm going to try to share my screen for a second so let's see if i can do this come on go to systems oh it's telling me something about google chrome and i have a macbook so i don't know all right forget that i'm gonna pull it up here and i'm gonna read it to you the what i want to highlight is

12:14 the it list it listed the um let me see if i still have it on my phone that's where i found it it listed the three things that they have in common with here it is all right so when we were looking at the pan germany pan europe led by germany aspect on the third way they the madrid circular

13:08 said there was going to be three things that happened in order to facilitate German-led European Union. Customs union, common market, and common currency. Well, guess what? The Gulf, it's the Gulf Cooperation Council, the GCC, published in 2001, and this has been a big,

13:43 project for turkey turkey's been behind a lot of this um the gcc creation and getting everybody into it so as it turns out turkey also has a pan turkey goal as it fits into the pan-european goal and i thought it ironic that the

14:13 Same three things that was published in the Madrid circular is exactly the same thing they use in creation of the GCC. So these are the beginning steps of one world government. We're going to have these pan-Turkey, pan-Middle East, pan-Europe.

14:43 All having exactly the same things, custom union, common market and common currency. And as a result, they'll let all the veils down and join hands as one world government. So I was just fascinated by that, that it turns out to be the exact same thing. So moving on, you have.

15:15 And for those of you who don't know, in the Muslim religion, the caliphate had always been in what is current day Saudi Arabia around the Mecca, Medina area. When the Ottoman Empire captured Turkey and converted it to Muslim religion,

15:50 Eventually, the caliphate moved to Turkey. And the reason they did that is because the Turkish fighters were very, very well prepared and vicious. And the Ottoman Empire had extended as far as Spain and was going into France when they were finally...

16:19 held the line the Europeans held the line and was able to start pushing them back and eventually the Ottoman Empire fell and so in this other book that I've been kind of shadowing along as it talks about different locations it had an entire chapter of Turkey and I thought a couple of things was very interesting so it said

16:48 that the secret army, Gladio, was much more violent in Turkey than anywhere in Western Europe. And that fits if you know your history of Turkey, because Turkey was a very violent, but in a military sense, very successful fighters. So it talks about after the First World War,

17:22 that when the Ottoman Empire fell apart in 1923, Turkey ended up being a quote-unquote republic. And the majority of the population remained Muslim. However, let me point out something else for historical purposes. If you go back and you look at the map,

17:51 Prior to the end of World War II, like from the 1900s into World War I and then like the early 30s before World War II. Our world map looked completely different than it did after World War II. When I was getting my master's degree in strategic studies, it was pointed out to me, not by the instructor.

18:24 but by a classmate that was a foreigner, that it appeared the national lines that were established on purpose dissected cultures. For example, Pakistan didn't even exist until after World War II. It's a country that was made up out of whole cloth. It, prior to World War II,

19:01 was part of India and part of Afghanistan so they cut part of Afghanistan off and they cut part of India off and they say this is now Pakistan you get your own leader what's interesting about that is exactly where somebody had to draw on a map this is the boundary this is the boundary over here this is the boundary up here and what do we know happened in Pakistan

19:31 Both on the western border with Afghanistan, there's tribes and cultural entities that were divided. So on the eastern side next to India, the exact same thing happened. There could be family farms that had been in your family for a thousand years, and there's now a line down it.

19:57 where half of you live in one country and half of you live in another country. And you get up to the top of it, Kashmir region, and they totally screwed that up. And that's where the majority of the fighting between India and Pakistan happens. And so what happens? Well, Pakistan ends up with nuclear weapons. India ends up with nuclear weapons.

20:25 Who's selling them all of these munitions to keep fighting each other along these boundaries that are completely made up? They're artificial. Well, Black Rock, State Street, Vanguard and all of the people before that. So this has always been the purpose of wars is to facilitate more wars. And so.

20:55 The same thing happened in Turkey. You have the Kurds who, I mean, there's millions of them. When they redrew that whole area, they didn't create Kurdistan, which they very easily could have. Instead, they say, we're going to take this part of Kurds and we're going to put them in Syria. We're going to take this part of Kurds and we're going to put them in Iraq where nobody likes them. And we're going to take this part of the Kurds and we're going to put them in Turkey.

21:27 who hate them. And so constant war, constant needs of military weapons. And upheaval also creates refugees, which also creates kids without parents. So you see the whole thing. It just keeps repeating itself over and over and over. So one of the fallouts after World War I

21:59 in Turkey is there ended up 2 million Armenians that was inside now the Turkish borders and all but 200,000 of them were murdered by the Turkish government. And of course they'd have killed every single Kurd if they could have. So I wanted to highlight that because this is the, the background, if you will,

22:34 On what was really going on. And when you realize. What was really going on. And why they wanted these terror cells. You also understand. That it was never about communism. It absolutely was never about communism. It was about controlling the people. That lived inside their boundaries. So. Having said that. Oh. So also. That is the reason why Turkey. Ends up being.

23:05 In NATO, I, for the longest time, I mean, I've been to Turkey. I've been to Iraq. Turkey being in NATO made no sense because culturally they're completely different. Religiously, they're completely different. Why was Turkey in NATO? I could never figure that out. Now it makes perfect sense. Turkey was picked a long time ago to facilitate one world government.

23:36 They are the controlled satellite for the Muslim world. And that stems from the fact that that was the last place that the caliphate was. So they're the impetus behind creating the GCC, which just so happens to have the exact same goals as the Madrid circular told us that Germany had for the pan Europe and for the EU. I mean, that's not a coincidence.

24:10 So I just wanted y'all to have that background as we go into tonight's two chapters. Because we're going to switch from the turkey area and move on into what's referred to as the shell game. And we start off, and again this is very important in how I started out the overview in...

24:40 how this whole cycle keeps repeating itself. Find a place for the drugs to grow, and then we're going to have a war there. But please understand, there's nothing about this process that happens by chance. There is zero chance that the cartels on our southern border are outside this system. Zero chance. If I can send a missile,

25:11 and hit you in the forehead when you live all the way around the world i can take on the drug cartels the fact that they don't tells you that the drug cartels work for the cia pablo escobar and other leading drug lords were encouraged oftentimes by the priests and bishops and by roberto colby

25:39 to deposit their earnings in eight firms that had been set up by the Vatican as money launderers. Six of these firms, Astelfine S.A., United Trading Corporation, Aaron S.A., Bellatrix, Bellrose, and Starfield S.A. were in Panama. And just a side note here, where is the camps that the Catholic Church is setting up

26:11 as well as other entities, NGOs, we're told, to shuffle all of the people into the United States. Oh my gosh, that's Panama too. A seventh one, Manic SA, is in Luxembourg, and the eighth one, Norderup establishment, is in Leichenstein. By 1978, when John Paul II ascended to the throne,

26:44 to be the Pope, the money coming in from the Medellin cartel alone was enormous. They were smuggling 15 tons of cocaine into the United States every day. And they were doing that with the full knowledge of the DEA and the CIA. The eight laundries were simply storefronts manned by secretaries and street thugs. So the...

27:18 Money would go from those companies to Milan in the Bank Ambrosiano and then into the Vatican, where the Vatican charged the 15% to 20% processing fee to hide the money. They then transferred it to banks in Switzerland, and basically that's kind of how they sheltered all of that money from taxes and hide it.

27:46 So you've got the drug trade that funds Gladio. Gladio funds terrorism and terrorism controls the people. So we get to what a section called Air Scranton. And I just think this is hilarious, given the timing of Biden being the Scranton boy. So the Scranton Airport, we always think of MENA, the airport in Arkansas. But let me tell you, this Scranton Airport.

28:17 was just as, if not more so, involved in the whole drug trade as Arkansas. So this is basically Arkansas East. The CIA was an active participant in the arrangement with the CIA and Escobar and the drug cartels. So we know that Air America, North America, is part of the CIA.

28:45 company also named Air America that was stationed out the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport in Pennsylvania. There was a guy by the name of Frederick Lichess. He was the head of the outfit and he made up to 1.5 million dollars per flight of flying the drugs into the United States.

29:17 They had figured out that the radar control in Florida, exactly what, and I'm sure the government people told them, where exactly the radar ended and their flights were strategically routed to avoid the perimeters of the radar. He was convicted of trafficking 7.5 tons of cocaine between 80 and 84.

29:46 He flew with Barry Seals, who was murdered by the cartel after he became an informant. And the same plane that this guy flew was confiscated by the government once they convicted him. And it ended up at a place called the Department of Natural Resources. It was retrofitted with recon equipment that...

30:24 was used to monitor everything about the George Floyd protests in Minnesota. It is now based in Minnesota. And they went to a lot of expense and trouble trying to renumber and rename that aircraft. But someone did the legwork and found that that aircraft was used by the government as part of the monitoring of George Floyd protests with all of this recon equipment put on it, which I found very interesting.

30:55 So the money poured into those eight countries, companies, and they were doing with those companies the same things that we saw with the Castle Bank and the Hand Bank in Australia. The Bank of Ambrosiano in Milan was issuing loans to all of these companies, the shell companies.

31:25 who remained Ambrosiano's CEO, convinced the bank directors that the offshore firms were concerns of the Vatican and that the loans were good because they would be backed by the Vatican. The directors of Banco Ambrosiano were the least likely to question the integrity of the undertakings of the Vatican. So Ambrosiano

31:54 independence from secular interests also protected it. And it barred anyone from obtaining more than 5% of the shares. And we went over that in an earlier chapter. So basically what they were doing is using those front companies. They were loaning money to those front companies from the bank that you can't own more than 5% of the shares. Those front companies.

32:23 were had sub companies under them, and they were basically using the money loaned from the bank to go back and buy the bank's shares. So when you added up what all of those shell companies owned of the bank, it was well over 5%. By some estimations, it got as high as 20 and 30%. So what's interesting is

32:54 Things like that, the airplane. Now, think about this for just a second. The CIA hires a guy to fly their drugs into the United States, right? So the CIA is basically buying him an airplane. They're paying for all of his and then paying him. Then, at some point, they have no more use for him.

33:26 The government, when they go to arrest him, confiscates all of his things. And then the government agencies like the DEA and the CIA, they get to use all of the shit that they just confiscated from the guy. So they've even figured out how to launder assets internal to the government. That's just crazy.

33:57 The government ended up with his house. They used it for something else. They ended up with his airplanes. They used them for something else. It's a great gig if you can get it, I guess. So almost overnight, all of these companies had multi-million dollar businesses established without any capital expenditures. I mean, they didn't buy like machines to run anything, nothing.

34:28 was the grand old ponzi scheme that did three things the first thing was to provide a new source of arms revenue for gladio bellatrix for example used 200 million of its assets to purchase french-made missiles for argentina in the fight against england in the falkland islands let that sink in for just a second they're going to be killing their own people

35:02 with the missiles, because it's all about making buck. Also, they supplied arms for Libya, Argentina, Nicaragua, and the money for these arrangements are coming out of the Vatican. So you basically have the Vatican implemented in...

35:35 the murders and violence that was going on throughout Latin America and Italy. Gelli, remember the guy that was the Grand Master Puba of P2, the Mason organization that had infiltrated the Vatican? He's back in the picture. Gelli had created many of the offshore corporations, including Bellatrix.

35:59 He was in charge with overseeing the distribution of arms throughout Italy and South America through the Masons. So they used the Masons' lodge in places like Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay. And he also was granted dual citizenship between Italy and Argentina. So he's an arms dealer. There's no other way to say that. The second purpose.

36:29 was the vatican bank to obtain financial control of that milan bank um ambrosiani so ambrosiano that bank is one of the so before the vatican was um set up and given its um special status throughout italy had a network of banks that were ran by priests that were associated with the catholic church

36:57 but not under the control of the Catholic Church. They were all still subject to the laws of the finance department in Italy. So the Vatican Bank wanted control of Ambrosiano's stock. And so this whole elaborate scheme of them loaning money to these fake organizations for them to go back and buy.

37:25 additional stocks were done on behalf of the vatican to control the fraud calvi opened ambrosiano's group bank in a foreign country as like a subsidiary of the bank and said that that was going to be used to conduct all the international commercial transactions and by that they mean money laundering so this put the bank the foreign bank now

37:56 the branch of the Italian bank outside of the purview of the financial control system in Italy, where all of the evidence concerning the fraudulent and criminal devices used to acquire the majority of interest in the Milan parent bank could be concealed. So they were using this for an entity to buy all of the stock in the company and hide it from the officials in Italy. Calvi traveled with Gelli to Nicaragua and

38:26 dropped several million dollars into the dictator in Nicaragua's pocket. He was pleased and basically pronounced his blessing on the whole arrangement and also granted Calvi a Nicaraguan diplomatic passport. So if he ever needed to run, he has a place to run. So the shares in these companies, they start splitting and splitting.

38:56 And there's more stock bought so that it can all be hidden. The last purpose was to provide funding for solidarity in Poland. Now, keep in mind, the current pope at this time is from Poland. He was interviewed by the CIA to be placed into the pope's chair. And the pope wanted to be a hometown hero.

39:28 So his deal with all these money laundering Mason people at the Vatican Bank is I'll turn a blind eye to what you're doing as long as you give me money to channel back to solidarity in Poland to try to thwart the Soviet Union. So he channels the money directly to Lech Walesa. And this has the approval of.

39:57 President Carter and all the folks back in Washington, D.C., to include a General Vernon Walters, who was the U.S. ambassador at large. By 1981, over $100 million in funds from the drug cartels and illegal banking loans flowed into the coffers of the Polish labor movement. Calbee discussed the Pope's involvement in laundering money for solidarity with a guy by the name of Flavio Carboni.

40:28 He was an emissary to the bank, Ambrosiano, but he also worked for the CIA. There was a taped secret conversation between Flavio and Calvi. And you remember that Markinus is the guy that's the, he's over the whole Vatican bank. Says Markinus must watch out for.

40:59 Casaroli, who is the head of the group that opposes him. If Casaroli should meet one of those financiers in New York who are working with Markenis, sending money to solidarity, the Vatican would collapse. He goes on to say, I've also told Prime Minister Andriotti, which is the Italian Prime Minister, but it's not clear which side he's on. If things in Italy go a certain way,

41:30 The Vatican will have to rent a building in Washington behind the Pentagon. Basically, what he's saying is everybody knows what they're doing is wrong. And if they get caught, they're going to be in big trouble. Just like Hillary Clinton making the comment, if they ever find out what we did, we're going to hang. Yeah, same thing. Same thing. So Calvi remained Sedano's successor as the principal banker.

42:01 for the heroin trade because remember sedona he ends up getting in trouble he's back in new york so in november 1996 a francisco mania from the sicilian mafia testified in the andreatti trial he told the court that kalby became the key figure in laundering heroin revenue for the american mafia cia

42:39 after the arrest warrant for Sedona had been issued by the financial police in Italy. The heroin continued to be sent to the Gambino family in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The Gambinos deposited large sums of their earnings in the banks controlled by Calvi for cleansing by the Vatican. Eventually, the money was used by the American mob to purchase hotels, land, financial companies in Florida.

43:08 on the island of Aruba. Gelli, he goes on to say that Gelli remained a principal figure in the Sicilian mafia. And this fact was evidenced by the case of Stefano Bontade, who regularly oversaw the refinement of 1,000 kilograms of heroin that flowed into his lab from the Balkan route.

43:37 Bonte's share of the profits was $150 million for each shipment. This money was delivered to Gelli, who used a string of Sicilian banks and Banco Ambrosiano to funnel the cash and launder it into the Vatican. The day after Menorca spilled his guts, his mother, his sister, aunt, and two uncles were all slain.

44:05 in their homes in Sicily. The testimony concerning Calvi was confirmed by other mafia informants within the Sicilian mob. All of the profits of the heroin network was recycled through the Banco Ambrosiano. So we have DEA agents meeting with people.

44:45 And people with names like Garth Reynolds, an American that doesn't even exist, trading arms with this money, getting like rocket launchers. And if they're arrested like this guy, supposedly Garth Reynolds was arrested in Los Angeles in 1980, they just disappeared. They walk into the quote unquote criminal justice system, which is kind of an oxymoron.

45:16 criminal justice. There's justice for the criminal, just not the rest of us. And then they just disappear. So they're either murdered or funneled out of the country. I don't know. In June of 1978, a 12-man team from the Bank of Italy decided that they're going to go look at Banco Ambrosiano. And they spend months and months and months and nothing makes sense. So

45:48 Six months later, they issued a report that basically said not a whole lot. The report devoted more than 25 pages to the torturous relationship between Banco Ambrosiano and the Vatican Bank. And basically, it doesn't say anything. And I don't know if that's because they couldn't figure it out or because they're purposely hiding it. When the news of the report was leaked to the public,

46:18 ambrosiano fell 30 on the milan exchange it also garnered the attention of the financial police the new investigation headed by a judge musi prompted calvi to move the base of his international operations even deeper into the heart of latin america in 1980 he opened banco ambrosiano in buenos aires italy's treasure minister met with the cassaroli

46:49 who was the Vatican Secretary of State. And the Vatican Secretary of State, we learned, is the guy that's over the Vatican Bank, to urge the severance of all ties between the Pope and Calvi. Casaroli presented these concerns to the Pope, but so much money was pouring into the Vatican and solidarity in Poland that John Paul II opted to ignore the warning.

47:20 Matters beyond the control of Calbee, the CIA, and the Vatican also served to undermine the shell game. In 1979, the interest rates obviously went sky high, and it made it difficult to obtain money for the loans. So you have the board members begin to demand definite proof from Calbee that the Vatican maintained control over these eight ghost companies.

47:51 The situation worsened as the dollar rose sharply against the lira. By 1980, after the financial police uncovered illegal capital exportation, bank documentation forgery, and fraud, Judge Mucey ordered Calbee to surrender his passport and warned him that criminal charges was on the way. But he gets his passport back and travels to get...

48:21 a bailout from the arabs but he thinks he has it but he doesn't that he never gets that money so you have a group of shareholders in banco ambrosiano who writes a long letter to john paul ii he basically ignores them again he knows exactly what they're doing he wants his money for poland he's going to ignore everything else so

48:55 He neglects to even give them a reply. Marcinkus, oh, but what he did do then was he promoted Marcinkus to basically be the governor of Vatican City, in addition to still being in charge of the bank. So the guy that's running his whole money laundering operation, when outside people said, hey, can you check and see if this is all legitimate?

49:27 Instead of figuring out that it's all going to come down on their head, he goes ahead and promotes the guy who's been in charge of all of it, who killed the guy that he replaced. And he did it on the date, the third year anniversary of them killing John Paul I. That's just mind-boggling to me. One must realize that the Pope...

50:01 was aware that Marcinkas was the principal player in the $1 billion counterfeiting security scam that collapsed the bank of Pravada, which we talked about two times ago. He was also a Mason in P2, also involved in the strategy of tension or Operation Gladio. And remember the Aldo Moro affair, because he had that guy assassinated.

50:36 The real post-mortem miracle of John Paul II remains that the continual concealment of his complicity in the high crimes of the people around him. So the Italian government was urging the Bank of Italy established new regulations governing foreign interest, which would put an end to how they were trying to hide these shell companies.

51:09 Within the Vatican, the Pope had responded to his plight with a demand for an increase in aid to solidarity. Within the Masons, Galley's reply was a request for the $80 million from a shell company to purchase more missiles for Argentina. So they're all putting their demands on the table. Within the U.S. intelligence community, the CIA answer was a call to Calvi for an increase in cash.

51:38 and munitions to combat the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. The Ambrosiano banker stood on the brink of personal and financial ruin. The total debt for Ambrosiano hovered at about $1.75 billion. It was a debt that no one, including the Pope, opted to acknowledge, let alone pay. So, moving on. As soon as the news begins to

52:09 tighten around calvi's neck he goes to visit sedona and sedona ends up and he's in trouble he's under indictment and he um comes up with the disguise to head off to vienna where he's not supposed to be um because he's has a three million dollar

52:46 bail bond and he basically is going asking people he's just absolutely sure that all these people that he's been helping all these years is going to help him and when none of them comes to his aid he decides to stage his own kidnapping to include allowing a guy to shoot him in the leg well

53:12 They write a ransom note. Everybody realizes it's all a big scam. And the whole thing unravels. And he ends up, they make a deal with him. Gally comes and tells him to come see him. He goes to see Gally. Gally says, hey, go back home to the United States. I got it all taken care of. I'll have some people from the.

53:45 Catholic Church, come testify at your trial. They'll let you off. It's not a big deal. So Sedona goes back home to the United States only to find out that Galley lied to him. He's not sending anybody there. There's not going to be any help. And so after the judge finds out that none of those people are going to show up, he is in for a big time awakening.

54:24 So then you have a guy by the name of Phil Garino, a former Roman Catholic priest and a director of the Republican National Committee, who wrote a letter to Galley and basically is kind of sympathetic that even the church had abandoned Sedona. Galley provided the following reply.

54:55 My experience tells me that for certain classes of humanity, it is a natural law to help the strongest and wound the weakest. Thus, not even the church could keep from denying the man it once called the one sent by God. So basically they've already written him off. Sedona ends up being convicted of 68 counts of fraud, misappropriation of bank funds, and perjury. He was incarcerated.

55:25 in Manhattan awaiting sentencing. He tries to commit suicide by drugging himself and slitting his wrist. St. Peter's banker was sentenced to 25 years in prison and fined $207,000. And this whole fine thing is also one of my big pet peeves. If you look at the money laundering that these banks like the Deutsche Bank and

55:55 JP Morgan and all of them that have been found guilty of misappropriation of funds or whatever it is, the legalese that they call it, if not outright money laundering. There's billions of dollars that are behind all of this. And he gets a $200,000 fine.

56:24 Gelley made trips to Langley to meet George H.W. Bush, the director of the CIA, William Casey, the manager of the Reagan-Bush campaign, who would later become CIA director, and a CIA agent named Donald Gregg. The worshipful master, Gelley, was involved in planning the October Surprise, which is an arrangement that Reagan and Bush worked out with Khomeini.

56:53 in Iran to keep the hostages an extra couple of months so they could be freed by Reagan. And they really did do that. This strategy, which Bush called the White Rose, in honor of Galley's favorite flower, would serve to ensure Jimmy Carter's defeat. The Ayatollah was enticed to participate in the delayed release of shipments for arms for use in his war against Iraq.

57:26 And by the way, we were actually given Iraq weapons. So again, this is the prod over here and the prod over here. This international syndicate makes money on always funding both sides of every war. In January 1981, Gelley became an honored guest at the Reagan inauguration. All right, Veda, where are you? Another Ronald Reagan thing.

58:00 After the celebration, his lodge received a gift of $10 million from the CIA. So knowing that the Sedona kidnapping was a hoax, the Sicilian police began to question the doctor that had been supposedly in charge of Sedona while he was in Sicily. But the story the doctor told the Sicilian police originally.

58:34 was a lie. And so they created a summons from Geli, and a Maselli Cremi was indicted for being a member of the mafia and for participating in the bogus kidnapping. The good doctor testified against Johnny Gambino, Rosio Spatola, Vicenza Spatola.

59:07 and 72 other mafia that were involved in the plot. In 1981, the police raided Geli's villa, where they found the official membership list of the P2, which is the Mason Lodge, 426 incriminating files on leading Italian figures and top-secret government reports. Within the office of Geli's mattress factory, because, you know, every mafia don has a mattress factory,

59:37 The Italian police uncovered evidence showing that the mason master had been the puppet master of a strategy of tension, Operation Gladio, which had resulted in 356 people killed and over 1,000 injured. Warrants were issued for Gelli's arrest, but the worshipful master was not anywhere in Italy.

1:00:07 He had already fled to South America. Why? Because somebody tipped him off. By the end of April 1981, the Trapani Mafia, based on the west coast of Sicily, had a problem. Their lawyer, Messina Denaro, was a fugitive from justice. He had been safeguarding all of their heroin trade, which the amount that was in his possession was $6 million.

1:00:36 The money had to be moved to an undetectable location before the police found it. The Trapani's flew to Rome, and they handed a suitcase of cash to their old friend Archbishop Markinus, the Vatican bank guy. It was late at night, but the Vatican banker was pleased to make the deposit. Conducting business as usual, Markinus did not appear concerned over the fate of Sedona.

1:01:09 the flight of Gelli or the plight of Calvi, nor was he flustered about the arrest of Massimo Spada or Menini, who used to work for the Vatican Bank. His composure in the face of the worsening conditions engulfing the Vatican Bank may have been due to his awareness that a plan was in the works to deal with John Paul II, who had become a primary cause of setbacks with Operation Gladio.

1:01:43 And that's the end of the current chapter that we're on. So we're going to break for the evening. And we will resume our next one. And y'all are going to definitely want to be around for that. Because that's chapter 15. The title of which is The Pope Must Die. Another one.

1:02:17 read that earlier my first response was another one bites the dust not that i'm trying to make light of that but um when you play with fire chances are you're gonna get burned and that's kind of what happens with all of this as it relates to this operation gladio the people that have been involved in this is just i mean it's over the top it's just over the top

1:02:49 So anyway, I'm going to run out and watch some more cars this evening, race up and down the road. But I've also thought about bringing the Colonel's Corner out actually to the corner of Highway 90 and the Veterans Avenue and see if we can't watch some of the cars. And I'm going to try to do that tomorrow. Don't know when.

1:03:18 But I will definitely post it on TruSocial before we go live so everybody can come over and watch us and all of the cool cars racing up and down the road. Thanks for tuning in. See you next time.
