Book Review of In God's
Name by David Yallop (available at http://www.abebooks.com or possibly even
amazon.com)
(The following book
review was written by a friend of the webmaster of www.puritans.net.)
I highly recommend
it. Written by a Roman Catholic on the murder of Albioni Luciani (Pope
John Paul I). Yallop received scores of "leaks" from within the
Vatican, from people who were themselves shocked with the whole affair.
His research is impeccable and exhaustive.
Interesting facts from that
book...Luciani was murdered for, among other things, his resolve to
excommunicate 100 top-ranking Vatican officials who were Freemasons. At
the time, Church canon law still forbade membership in the Freemasons (even
though the Nazi Pope, Pius XII was himself a Freemason). Also, of course,
several of these Freemasons were co-conspirators in the Vatican Bank scandal,
in which 2.4 billion US dollars were embezzled from the bank, having been
funneled into "dummy" Panamanian accounts. The masterminds of
this scam were members of "P2", an Italian branch of the Illuminati.
Pictures speak a thousand words.
One enlightening picture is that of Luciani jovially speaking with a
Cardinal, only three hours before his death--quite obviously in the pink of
health. Upon his death, he was pronounced dead of a "possible
myocardial infarction." "Possible?" Since when would
anywhere outside the Vatican anything short of an autopsy be permitted?
But an autopsy of Luciani was forbidden. (I suspect he was
poisoned.)
Subsequent to Luciani's murder, the
following things happened:
1) Karol Wojtlya, the CIA's candidate,
a Marxist, but anti-Russian, was elected.
2) Wojtlya "sat" on the
banking scandal, until several European nations threatened to sue the Vatican
bank for default on their money.
3) Ronald Reagan then bailed out the
Vatican Bank with $300 million of "discretionary CIA funds."
(Either our tax money or illicit CIA drug money.) He also then
signed a Concordat with the Vatican in 1983. His reward? The
"Reagan Democrat" (i e, "Roman Catholic") vote. The
Vatican secured the 1984 election for Reagan.
4) Church canon law was reversed in
1982 so that membership in the Freemasons was no longer grounds for
excommunication from the Church of Rome.
One example of
confirmatory evidence for information disclosed in Yallop’s book as well as
Avro Manhattan’s book ( see http://www.puritans.net/bookreviewalliance.htm
) comes from a BBC article found at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2362135.stm
, which will be quoted later. It
addresses the banking scandal that Pope John Paul I was about to investigate in
1978--when the Pope himself was murdered. Likely by an overdose of
digitalis.
Digitalis, being
organic (from the foxglove herb), is not traceable in the body. It's used
to treat congestive heart failure, by making the heart pound harder.
Obviously, an overdose causes a heart attack. But being organic, it
is completely digested by the system almost immediately, though its effects
take two to six hours to take effect. Without a thorough examination,
death would appear to have occurred through a massive heart attack.
(There was no autopsy performed on John Paul I, interestingly.)
Many members of
"P2"--the secret Masonic society to which Calvi belonged, as well as
many Cardinals (who are still P2 members to this day) carry with them a fatal
dose of digitalis--on the advice of the society's founder, Licio Gelli.
So they can commit suicide instead of "spilling the beans."
Because all the members of P2 know many things about each others'
criminal dealings--including high persons in the Italian government, and in the
Vatican.
Calvi was found
hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in London in June 1982--shortly before a 1
billion dollar "hole" was about to emerge in the Vatican-owned Banco
Ambrosiano. However, the article below proves it was not suicide. (Though
it was obviously attempted to be made to appear to be so.) Because
forensic specialists rule suicide out, on the grounds of the evidence.
See below.
Some think the Mafia
murdered him. [Of course, the Mafia are all “good” communicant Roman Catholics.]
Others think that Gelli, the Grand Master of P2 had him murdered.
Others think that the secret society so highly thought of by John Paul
II--Opus Dei, did it. It can be hard to tell. Because many of the
members of P2 are also members of Opus Dei. Others think one of the above
hired the Mafia to do it.
Opus Dei is so secret
that not even the Pope knows the membership list. And yet, the Pope just
recently granted Opus Dei "prelature status." Meaning, Opus
Dei, through its Secretary General, answers directly to the Pope. The
bishops do not know anything of what that society does.
By the way, with
regards to the one billion dollar "hole" in Banco Ambrosiano--Ronald
Reagan, in 1982, gave the Pope "discretionary" CIA funds to cover the
Vatican Bank's debt. About 300 million dollars--which was enough to stave
off the Bank's creditors. In return for this, the Church of Rome saw to
it that American Roman Catholics voted for Reagan in the next election.
Also, the Pope, as part of the "deal," then censured the
Jesuits in Latin America for their role in sponsoring Communist revolutions
under Castro's leadership. (Castro was taught in two Jesuit institutions;
he is likely a Jesuit himself.) The Pope even had the Secretary General
of the Jesuits, Pedro Arrupe, fired. The last time a Pope did
that---Clement III in 1767--the Pope was murdered. However, the American
CIA pledged their "protection" to the Pope from the Jesuits.
(Many of the CIA are also members of Opus Dei. &nb
The intrigue of the Vatican Banking scandal has woven its way into high places
of the governments of this world. The Vatican, according to Avro
Manhattan, is also a major shareholder in J P Morgan Investment firm, Chase
Manhattan Bank, and Bank of America.

”Vatican's banker 'was murdered'
Calvi's body was found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge
A top financier found hanging from a bridge in London 20 years ago was
murdered, forensic experts appointed by judges in Rome to investigate the death
have reportedly said. According to
media reports, the panel said Roberto Calvi, who was nicknamed God's Banker
because of his close ties to the Vatican, could not have killed himself as
originally suggested.
Roberto Calvi's death remains a mystery 20 years on
They said his neck showed no evidence of the injuries usually associated with death
by hanging and his hands had never touched the stones found in the pockets of
his clothes.
The results of the investigation, based on a new autopsy of Calvi's body, will
be reviewed by two judges in Rome presiding over the case, who will decide whether
to order a murder trial involving the mafia, reports say.
Investigators suspect Calvi was killed by the mafia for failing to repay their
"deposits" on demand.
The findings have yet to be officially handed over to the tribunal, Rome
prosecutor Salvatore Vecchione said in reaction to the reports.
Friday's findings appear to confirm the results of forensic tests carried out
earlier this year which reportedly showed the banker had been murdered.
Financial scandal
Calvi's son, also named Roberto, was quoted by La Repubblica newspaper as
saying that although he was convinced the mafia carried out the murder, it was
on behalf of a third party.
"Behind the mafia, there's someone else," he said, adding: "The
politicians who gave the order must be found."
Mr Calvi's body was found hanging from scaffolding on Blackfriars Bridge in
June 1982, days after the suspicious collapse of the Vatican-controlled Banco
Ambrosiano.
His family has always maintained his death was not suicide.
When Calvi arrived in London, he was on the run, using a false passport.
His corrupt dealings had brought the bank to the verge of collapse with debts
of more than $1bn.
Inquest verdicts
The case developed into one of the biggest political and financial scandals of
the post-war era in Italy, with widespread speculation about mafia involvement
and links to a shadowy Masonic group, known as P2.
Mr Calvi's body was exhumed four years ago, following his family's insistence
that he had been killed.
Calvi was a member of the secret right-wing P2 Masonic lodge and was also
linked to the Sicilian mafia.
The coroner initially recorded a verdict of suicide but, under pressure from
the family, a second inquest was called and an open verdict was recorded.
In recent years more evidence has come to light, suggesting Calvi was murdered
by the mafia to stop him divulging damaging details about links between the
mafia, the Vatican and P2.”
