FTR #775 Ratzinger Leaves the Ship–The Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 16, 2014 ⋅ One comment

The star­tling res­ig­na­tion of Pope Bene­dict XVI (nee Joseph Ratzinger) brings to mind a num­ber of con­sid­er­a­tions. Ratzinger was some­thing of a care­tak­er, charged with sus­tain­ing the Opus-Dei style reac­tion grip­ping the Vat­i­can and keep­ing the lid on poten­tially dam­ag­ing inquiries.. He took office with the Holy See engulfed in scan­dal and inquiry, includ­ing the bur­geon­ing priest molesta­tion inves­ti­ga­tions, renewed inquiries into mon­ey laun­der­ing by the Vat­i­can Bank and inquiries con­cern­ing the Vatican’s behav­ior dur­ing and after World War II. Might some of those issues over­whelmed his papa­cy, forc­ing the first Papal res­ig­na­tion in his­to­ry?


German Intelligence, The National Socialist Underground and 9/11

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ May 9, 2013 ⋅ 2 comments

Two inves­ti­ga­tions may well dove­tail. We’ve cov­ered the 9/11 attacks for years, begin­ning with analy­sis well before the events them­selves. We note, also, our recent posts about the intel­li­gence-linked Nation­al Social­ist Union neo-Nazi group in Ger­many. Ger­many Watch has pre­sent­ed a work­ing hypoth­e­sis that NSU’s mur­ders were cov­er­ing-up oper­a­tional ele­ments in the attacks.


Roberto Calvi Linked to Pablo Escobar

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 1, 2012 ⋅ One comment

It is now rel­a­tive­ly well known that the late Pablo Esco­bar and the asso­ci­at­ed Medellin Car­tel were heav­i­ly involved with the Iran-Con­tra cocaine traf­fic of the 1980’s. Press accounts have now sur­faced in Italy and the UK about Esco­bar hav­ing banked some of his pro­ceeds with Rober­to Calvi’s Ban­co Ambrosiano. Found mur­dered in Lon­don in late 1982, Calvi was the advis­er to the IOR, hav­ing suc­ceed­ed the late Michele Sin­dona in that regard. (Like Calvi, Sin­dona was a mem­ber of the Licio Gel­li’s P‑2 Lodge.) Dis­clo­sure of the Calvi/Escobar link sug­gests anoth­er link between the Iran-Con­tra affair and the Stibam arms for drugs ring that heav­i­ly over­lapped the milieu of the P‑2, Vat­i­can Bank and the Ban­co Ambrosiano.

FTR #43 The Pope Shooting: Stibam

Posted by FTR ⋅ February 18, 1997 ⋅ Post a comment

Lis­ten now: One Seg­ment The Stibam arms-for-drugs ring was one of the most impor­tant and least pub­li­cized ele­ments of U.S. and NATO covert oper­a­tions in the 1970s and 1980s. This pro­gram dis­cuss­es con­nec­tions between this oper­a­tion’s drug busi­ness and the milieu of the fas­cist Grey Wolves, some of whose mem­bers shot the pope in May […]
