"NSA Tapped The Pope", Spied On Vatican To Prevent "Threats To Financial System"
In the latest blow, and a new low, for the US spying agency, earlier today Italian magazine Panorama blasted a preview of an article due for publication tomorrow, with the simple premise: "NSA had tapped the pope." According to a Reuters report, the "spy agency had eavesdropped on Vatican phone calls, possibly including when former Pope Benedict's successor was under discussion, but the Holy See said it had no knowledge of any such activity. Panorama magazine said that among 46 million phone calls followed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) in Italy from December 10, 2012, to January 8, 2013, were conversations in and out of the Vatican." But while it is unclear just what divine information the NSA had hoped to uncover by spying on the Vatican, what is an absolute headbanger, is that according to Panorama one of the reasons for the illegal wiretaps was to be abreast of "threats to the financial system." We can only assume this means keeping on top of Goldman's activities around the globe: after all, when one intercepts god's phone calls, one is mostly interested what the bank that does god's will is doing.
From Reuters:
Asked to comment on the report, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said: "We are not aware of anything on this issue and in any case we have no concerns about it."
Media reports based on revelations from Edward Snowden, the fugitive former U.S. intelligence operative granted asylum in Russia, have said the NSA had spied on French citizens over the same period in December in January.
Panorama said the recorded Vatican phone calls were catalogued by the NSA in four categories - leadership intentions, threats to the financial system, foreign policy objectives and human rights.
Benedict resigned on February 28 this year and his successor, Pope Francis, was elected on March 13.
"It is feared" that calls were listened to up until the start of the conclave that elected Francis, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, Panorama said.
The magazine said there was also a suspicion that the Rome residence where some cardinals lived before the conclave, including the future pope, was monitored.
Cue another US ambassador being summoned by an "ally" country, more questions about just what US taxpayer funds are being spent on, more public indignation, and even more bad will (if that is even possible) toward the great, globalist US superstate that is no longer accountable to anyone but itself and a few select oligarchs.

obvious question at this point ... are either clapper or alexander knights of malta?
and i been looking for a place to drop this. i always said the best perspective to take on snowden was to remember the full lesson of ellsburg- take the damaging truths revealed and work them for all they are worth, but remember the reveal in a larger context of why it was finally revealed.

really hate to be this conspiranoid... but i'm starting to think the reason hastings blew up was that he didn't want to play the little reveal. just sayin'.
Karen Hudes is a fraud. She has never actually criticized the banksters or the World Bank. Her whole gig is about "money laundering" - i.e., people transferring money without capital controls. "Money laundering" is a crime like pot smoking is a "crime."
NSA does not collect data Wittingly. Didn't you hear what the Clap man said?

both are criminal organizations, I'm unconcerned if they spy on each other.

The Mormon Church has a cozy relationship with the CIA. ... BYU, Brigham Young University) is one of the prime recruiting areas for the CIA.

CIA/NSA is MORMON, new data center is in UTAH for a reason.
Mormons hate the fucking Catholics.
Enough Said.
What about the equally large NSA data center in San Antonio?
Don't know about the rest, but it is true that Mormons do NOT like Catholics. They are Catholics who love money.
And they are busy taking away market share in S. America, buying up HUGE tracts of land for their agro-businesses. Ditto for Baptists.
Now Ratzinger stepping down early makes a lot more sense.
Right. Remember allegations of financial wrongdoing at the Vatican bank, sexual misconduct by Vatican priests, and threats to reveal the same. €23 million of assets from the Institute for the Works of Religion were seized by authorities in an extortion scheme run by the European and U.S. bankers. JP Morgan closed the Vatican bank's account. Benedict was replaced with a right-wing bishop from Argentina who assisted the military in rounding up his own priests - safely evil, in other words. Said new pope immediately informed the world that one could not be a Christian without loving Jews. (Francis never read the book of Acts or the Epistle to the Hebrews, I suppose.) The "threat to the financial system" spoken of in the article is the threat the Church represents to the Tribe (the Vatican bank, with about $8 billion is assets, is large but not "systemically important"). We are getting closer to the truth, little by little. Just need to put the pieces together.
Digging up dirt on God. Machiavelli would be proud.
"The Pope, speaking off the cuff, lamented the injustices of the current system, “because it is easier to punish the small fry, but let the big fish swim free in the water.”
Ah, there we go ......
The Pope, speaking off the cuff, lamented:
Quia vero dictae santae regulae professores, ac aemulatores devoti, ut & alumni, & veri Filii tanti Patris affectabant, sicut & ferventer affectant, ad purum & ad plenum praemissam regula firmiter observare: attendentes quaedam quae dubium poterant afferre sensum in ipsius regulae serie contineri, pro ipsorum declaratione habenda recurrerunt prudenter olim ad apicem Apostolicae dignitatis, ut certificati per ipsam, cujus pedibus etiam per ipsam regulam sunt subjecti, possent Domino (pulsis cunctis dubiis) cum plena claritate conscientiae deservire.
I wonder how many boys born in the last few months have been named Snowden. I guess it could be used as a girl's name too, actually.
60% of the USA public think snowden is traitor
40% of the USA think snowden is a martyr
***
60% of the US public gets a US treasury check every month
40% of the US public has to find their money by another means
***
Calling your child 'snowden' could very well make that child non-popular with the majority of the us public
The strolling trollolololololo......
Re: I wonder how many boys born in the last few months have been named Snowden.
Only malcontent hippies who hate America, and the troops, would name their kid after a traitor who doesn't trust the military to do what it must do to keep this great-n-glorious country safe and free from lefty influences!
Let's hope that's sarcasm there buddy. If not, better start retaking your meds.
The Pope? Who cares about that old fogie. What's he gonna do? Complain?
Now, if the Grand Mufti of (fillintheblank) was tapped, we have a major issue on our hands.
Only place I'm ok with being spied on, probably have little boys stashed in the basement.
Baudrillard was absolutely right when he pointed out some twenty years ago that everyone, except the ruling elites who own the means of production, is a threat and a terrorist to the system at this late stage of the current economical/political/ruling -ism.
I bet those wiretaps and bugs were working overtime when the Pope announced he wanted to review all Vatican banking.
I thought he would meet with a horrible accident.
"Your Eminence, I'm sure you would prefer that we didn't reveal certain elements of your banking business and there's that small matter about the children..."
"Go in Peace, my son."
I'm starting to fucking love Obama. First he acts like a true American and forces the republicans to surrender unconditionally and then he shits up the pope, no fucks given. He might be the best American president ever, and this is no exaggeration. The guy is a genius.

Dang it. I want to start writing these NSA headlines myself.

Despicable little drug addict .

Looka busy! Looka busy!
Relax Pope. The stupid Americans at the NSA haven't seen through that Donation of Constantine.
Information divinity is good for none other than Goldman Sachs, "courtesy" of the NSA of course!
This spying shit sandwich runs straight to financial markets.
...wait for it.
So they knew the Vatican is a den of sexual addicts .
Re NSA eavesdropped when former Pope Benedict's successor was under discussion.
Probably just wanted to know if Hillary was in the running.
inside sources have given me a transcript of one such converstation:
hey, whatsa matta fa you anyway? I said-a the black smoke not the white.
ey, yi, yi my holiness, whata we do now?
I don know. but there calling fa me on the balcony right now. gotta go.
Nonda worry, I hida the real banka books behinda that Buonarroti gay porno book.
Oh, don't fool yourself. Our good government was merely trying to track down all the pedohphiles to warn families and save the kids. Obama cares... that why all the child molestors have been identified and rounded up through the NSA. Dear Leader loves us and cares for his beautiful children.

"You are being watched. The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people; people like you. Crimes the government considered 'irrelevant'. They wouldn't act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner, someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find you".
I noticed the odds on "Francis for next pope" kept shortening at my local bookmaker. It all makes sense now! THEY knew!
Now if the NSA were only tapping Obama phones, that is one thing. Of course, I am not too sure anything of value is said on Obama phones....
The Vatican Bank is big and powerful. It is a threat to the financial system. The NSA is in the right here.
Overheard:
"Does this Miter make me look fat, Father Carlos?"
"No, Holy Father. Your johnson buried in that altar boy certainly does wonders for your waistline, though."
"You're a peach!"
"By the way, your new Gucci loafers just came in, and we're ready to Cannonize Josef Mengele, everything's on your desk."
"Ughghg grnnggg **thump** grunt."
"We'll talk later."

Jeez, you'd think the Pope would have the big guy upstairs lookin' after him.
I guess not.
Well, if the Pope does have a direct line to God, who better to tap?
NSA infiltrates links to Yahoo, Google data centers worldwide, Snowden documents say - 30 Oct 2013
The National Security Agency has secretly broken into the main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google data centers around the world, according to documents obtained from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and interviews with knowledgeable officials.
By tapping those links, the agency has positioned itself to collect at will from among hundreds of millions of user accounts, many of them belonging to Americans.

What kids are waiting for is a Wikileak of Santa's list....no tapping Santa please although Ms. Claus is fair game for you elves...
Now THERE'S some WB7-worthy material.
Come to think of it, so is tapping a confessional at the Vatican. It's getting to a point where it's hard to make ridiculous things up that are more absurd than the reality we live in.
But I'll keep trying!
I could see a William Banzai creation in this...Angela Merkel in lingerie in the background, with Alexander in the foreground looking back at us with a thumbs-up and meme banner of "I'd tap that!"
Could the Comrade-in-Chief (DINO) be wiretapping his senior officers & firing the undesired? Why not? Could he be anticipating a coup?
Sorry, but I don't see the list of 197 names, or the link to it.
If you dont like it take it up with God.
Will (the luciferian alumbrado installed as) The Pope Stage An Assassination Attempt?
Diplomatic immunity is untenable. Everyone is free, or none are free. No exceptions. Spy your ass off on the wolves in shepards' robes, Crom. Fuck.Them.Up. But please, do also bless the true saints' efforts. If you don't, to hell with you.
Guess the NSA leaves it up to cliques of the Cardinals to double tap the pope. Been doing it for hundreds of years.
Hoover’s Secret Files
The FBI director kept famous files on everything from Martin Luther King’s sex life to never-before-reported secret meetings between RFK and Marilyn Monroe, as a new book reveals. An exclusive excerpt from Ronald Kessler’s 'The Secrets of the FBI.'
“The moment [Hoover] would get something on a senator,” said William Sullivan, who became the number three official in the bureau under Hoover, “he’d send one of the errand boys up and advise the senator that ‘we’re in the course of an investigation, and we by chance happened to come up with this data on your daughter. But we wanted you to know this. We realize you’d want to know it.’ Well, Jesus, what does that tell the senator? From that time on, the senator’s right in his pocket.”
