‘Tip Of The Iceberg’: Portuguese Catholic Church Accused Of Sexually Abusing More Than 4,800 Children

The Independent Committee for the Study of Child Abuse in the Catholic Church released its final 500-page report Monday to the Associated Press, which Portuguese bishops set up just over a year ago to look into the alleged historical abuse in the church from 1950 to the present day.

So far, 512 alleged victims have made accusations.

Pedro Strecht, a child psychiatrist who led the commission, told Reuters that at least 4,815 children were abused, adding those accusations are “the tip of the iceberg.”

“(We want) to pay a sincere tribute to those who were abuse victims during their childhood and dared to give a voice to silence,” Strecht said. “They are much more than a statistic.”

The panel included six individuals compiled of psychiatrists, a former Supreme Court judge, and a social worker, who interviewed more than 500 victims, researched old church documents and spoke to bishops and other clergy members.

Included in the report, the commission found a set of staggering statistics alleging 77% of the abusers were priests, 77% of the victims didn’t report the abuse, and only 4% went to local authorities.

Other figures revealed 48% of those allegedly abused that came forward spoke about the abuse for the first time, the Associated Press noted, adding 53% of the victims were male.

Most sexual abuses allegedly happened to children between 10 and 14, with the youngest victim only 2 years old.

Strecht told Reuters the victims were abused in Catholic schools, churches, priests’ homes, and confessionals, among other locations. The report noted the abuse happened in “real blackspots.”

However, the report did not reveal specific locations.

Members of the panel decided against publishing the names of the victims and the alleged abusers, but the AP noted bishops would receive a list of those accused of abuse and still active in the church by the end of the month.

Senior church officials listened to panel members on Monday read out some accounts of the accusations, which the Associated Press described as “vivid and shocking.”

The panel said 25 allegations were submitted to prosecutors for review. However, most of the alleged cases reached the statute of limitations, but the commission argued the law should be changed for such crimes committed three decades ago to face legal proceedings.

Jose Ornelas, head of the Bishops’ Conference, told a news conference after the final report’s presentation, saying the details were an “open wound that hurts and shames us.”

“We apologize to all the victims,” said Ornelas, who is also under investigation by public prosecutors for allegedly covering up child sex abuse at a Mozambique orphanage in 2011.

Portuguese bishops are set to meet next month to further review the report.

NATO chief denies bloc’s involvement in conflict with Russia

Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and munitions are now a NATO priority in weaponry deliveries to Ukraine, Jens Stoltenberg said

NATO does not consider itself a party to the conflict with Russia but will keep supplying more advanced and heavier weaponry to Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said upon his arrival at a meeting of the bloc’s defense ministers on Tuesday.

"Neither NATO nor NATO allies are party to the conflict. What we do as NATO allies and NATO, is to provide support to Ukraine. Ukraine is defending itself. Ukraine has the right to defend itself. And of course, we have the right to help Ukraine uphold the right for self-defense. So NATO and NATO allies are not party to the conflict, but we support Ukraine in the right of self-defense," the NATO chief said, replying to a corresponding question.

The type of weapons supplied to Ukraine "has evolved as the war has evolved," Stoltenberg said.

"In the beginning there was enormous focus on javelins, on anti-tank, light anti-tank weapons, and then we saw the urgent need for artillery and allies started to step up the delivery of advanced modern artillery. Then air defense has been a main focus and now heavy weaponry…," he said.

As Stoltenberg said, "actually since 2014, NATO has implemented the biggest reinforcements of collective defense in a generation, because the war didn't start in February last year. It started in 2014."

Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and munitions are now a NATO priority in weaponry deliveries to Ukraine, Stoltenberg said.

"So the issue of aircraft is not the most urgent issue now. But it is an ongoing discussion. We have ongoing consultations among allies on the type of systems allies should deliver to Ukraine," he said.

"The urgent need now is to deliver what has always been promised" and this "will be a top issue at the meetings today here at NATO," Stoltenberg said.

Texas Border Operation Catches 348,000 Illegal Immigrants, 361 million Lethal Fentanyl Doses

In the absence of adequate federal enforcement a Texas border security initiative heavily criticized by Democrats and the media has apprehended hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants—including thousands of criminals—and seized millions of lethal doses of fentanyl. Known as Operation Lone Star, the project was launched by Governor Greg Abbott in March 2021 as the illegal immigration crisis gripped his border state. Essentially the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas National Guard are picking up the slack for the federal government, which is charged with protecting the famously porous southern border.

Texas had to take charge to combat the smuggling of people and drugs, the governor’s office wrote in the 2021 press release announcing Operation Lone Star, which integrates DPS with the Texas National Guard and deploys air, ground, marine and tactical border security assets to high threat areas to prevent Mexican cartels and other criminal elements from smuggling drugs and humans into the state. “The crisis at our southern border continues to escalate because of Biden Administration policies that refuse to secure the border and invite illegal immigration,” Abbott said at the time. The governor’s office assures that the operation continues to fill the “dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border.” Every arrested individual and every ounce of drugs seized by Operation Lone Star would have otherwise made their way into communities across the nation due to the president’s open border policies, Texas officials point out.

The most recent figures, released just days ago, show that Operation Lone Star is succeeding despite detractors on the left. Since the multi-agency effort was launched more than 348,000 illegal immigrants have been apprehended and over 24,000 criminals have been arrested. DPS has also seized a startling number of drugs, over 361 million lethal doses of fentanyl. “Texas has also bused more than 9,100 migrants to our nation’s capital since April, over 5,200 migrants to New York City since August 5, more than 1,500 migrants to Chicago since August 31, and more than 890 migrants to Philadelphia since November 15,” the state announcement reveals. The document offers specific Operation Lone Star cases that prevented the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and humans into Texas.

The crisis along the southwest border is unprecedented and has created a tremendous threat to national security. The latest government stats show a drop in monthly illegal immigrant crossings that carries little weight since it is a decrease from the record-highs that have prevailed during the Biden administration. The stats show that U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended 128,000 illegal immigrants in January 2023 and federal agents at crossing ports prevented an additional 28,000 migrants from entering the country. Considering illegal immigration records have been shattered under Biden, the latest monthly figure is not bad. In his first year as president, federal agents apprehended 1,659,206 illegal immigrants at the southwest border, breaking the previous high of 1,643,679 in 2000. To put things in perspective, during Donald Trump’s last year as president federal agents arrested 400,651 illegal aliens along the Mexican border.

But as the Biden presidency progresses, the crisis worsens. Fiscal year 2022 also started with a bang, a 137% increase in the first quarter over the final quarter of 2021. By the end of 2022, the Border Patrol arrested a record-breaking 2.4 million migrants, up from an already shocking high of 1.7 million in 2021. Among the apprehended were hundreds of gang members—mostly from the famously violent Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)—and dozens of people on the national terrorist watchlist. Federal agents also confiscated thousands of pounds of drugs, mainly methamphetamine. The unprecedented numbers depict a chaotic Mexican border region rife with lawlessness that has inevitably seeped north into many parts of the United States. At least Texans have Operation Lone Star to help compensate for the federal government’s ongoing failures.

== Intel Officials’ Fresh Laptop Baloney

After calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation in 2020, Jim Clapper and co. set about restoring their tarnished reputations.==

Two and a half years after more than 50 intelligence community pooh-bahs emerged to slime the New York Post’s pre-election report on Hunter Biden’s laptop, the fact-checkers have arrived on the scene.

With Biden safely ensconced in the White House—and with the facts about the laptop plainly obvious—the Washington Post has swooped in to tsk-tsk Politico for over-dramatizing its October 2020 headline: "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say."

Now that we all know the laptop is authentic, the Post wants us to distinguish between "disinformation" and "information" campaigns—foreign efforts to interfere with our elections through the dissemination of accurate information. Scary!

But anyway, the former intelligence officials' letter, the Post’s Glenn Kessler writes, "does not even say what the Politico headline claimed—though that headline likely shaped perceptions of the letter that continue to this day." Except, the headline did appropriately characterize what the intelligence officials said, sans the cover-your-ass caveats those officials well knew would be ignored by a partisan and irresponsible press. That was precisely their intent.

It was the lack of any journalistic skepticism about those claims, and the motivations the parties might have had for making them, that was the mistake. The Post reveals that the letter was the brainchild of former deputy CIA director and ubiquitous television presence Michael J. Morell, "a top candidate for CIA director in a Biden administration." Forgive us for thinking that a seasoned Washington operator like Morell might have had some idea how the letter would be received in the press and consider it just the sort of thing that would nudge his application for CIA director to the top of the pile.

That brings us to the rest of the letter’s signatories, who have decided now’s the time to point out subtleties in their letter that two-and-a-half years of hysterical press coverage overlooked. The former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, told the Post that Politico was guilty of "message distortion."

"All we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be Russian disinformation," he added. "Politico deliberately distorted what we said." Now he tells us!

The figures most guilty of distortion in this sorry ordeal are Morell, Clapper, and their colleagues, and their attempts to distort, retroactively, their October 2020 efforts add insult to injury.

The mainstream media, for its part, have been revealed as their witting pawns, starting with the Politico piece and ending with the laughable Washington Post fact check that lays the blame primarily at Politico’s feet—rather than calling these Democratic operati, er, intelligence officials—to account for their own attempts to influence a U.S. election.

Excess Deaths in Alberta Surge Past 10,000 — Evidence of Government Cover-up

Part IV: Cover-ups of COVID-19 vaccine injuries and deaths require investigations

Alberta government censored & hid all data about COVID-19 vaccine injuries to the immune systems of the double vaccinated (Part 1), the failure of the first COVID-19 booster (Part 2), and more immune system damage to the triple vaccinated (Part 3).

I haven’t even begun addressing COVID-19 vaccine damage caused to University and College students, high school students, children, newborns, pregnant women, doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers. That comes later.

COVID-19 Vaccine immune system damage is dose-dependent (more jabs leads to more injury)

A recent study of 51,011 Cleveland Clinic employees showed that those with more doses of COVID-19 vaccine were more likely to get infected with COVID-19 than those with fewer or none, and this risk of infection increased over the first 100 days after COVID-19 vaccine injection (click here).

I have seen this pattern before. Yes, the data that Alberta government permanently deleted in January 2022 showing that the double vaccinated were more likely to get infected with COVID-19 as time passed after their 2nd vaccination:

Laptop From Hell: Hunter Biden Had 'Good Relationship' With Obama's Beijing Envoy

US mainstream media suppressed the story of Hunter Biden's infamous laptop, abandoned at a Delaware repair shop, in the run-up the 2020 presidential election. But now it is giving a trove of information on the president's son and his shady business dealings.

US President Joe Biden's son used a "very good relationship" with Barack Obama's ambassador to Beijing to help strike investment deals with Chinese businessmen.

Emails gleaned from Hunter Biden's abandoned 'laptop from hell' show that Devon Archer, his associate in Chinese-based investment firm BHR Partners, boated of his ties to Max Baucus in a message to Alwen Liu of Bohai Capital.

Equity firm BHR was set up by the Bank of China in partnership with Hunter Biden as an investment fund in 2013, when his father was vice-president to Obama.

The company structure included a partnership between Hunter Biden's firm Rosemont Seneca and the Thornton Group LLC — owned by Jimmy Bulger, the son of Democrat politician William Bulger and nephew of infamous Boston gangster and IRA gun-runner 'Whitey' Bulger.

In one email dated April 2, 2014, Archer told Liu he was "currently arranging a meeting with the new US Ambassador to China Max Baucus for late April/early May to meet our leadership team in Beijing."

On April 21, Hunter assured his partner that he could "ask anything we need" from Baucus, after Archer said he had arranged dinner with the ambassador’s "best friend."

"On Baucus — we have a very very good relationship and I can ask anything we need — don't need his best friend if that's why you are mtg him," Biden wrote.

On September 11 that year, Archer wrote to BHR CEO Jonathan Li to say he was "waiting for a confirmation for our meeting at the US Embassy with Ambassador Baucus October 8th." In another email the next day, Biden mysteriously asked Archer if he had told Li that he had to "sit this one out."

==The Jewish/Jesuit Bloodlines. The Real Families,

who, behind the scenes, control the World through Religion — including both Judaism and Christianity

— Finance, Property, Land, as well as through total control and manipulation of the markets of the world ==

This document in part is an adaptation of an article found online, without source provided, entitled “This is the Mythos Mafia – The Papal Bloodlines of the Jesuits.” Having spent my lifetime researching and deepening my understanding what is really underway on earth, I recommend the following article be read in conjunction with The Real History of the Earth. Why in Hell All This is Happening Again! Available at archive.org/details/trh-77_202111

I have been unable to find or contact the author of the Mythos Mafia to ask permission to use the information provided in the article, and alter it here to fit with what I have found to be true. By this introduction I wish to acknowledge his or her work, and present what follows in pursuit of Truth, to the best of my current understanding.

“The personages often imagined to be at the top are actually the second level of the human power hierarchy.” The Rothschild family clearly controls massive wealth, but there exists wealth far greater and historic. Via power structures dating back to the Roman empire, to the founding of the Catholic Church, reaching back through Egyptian dynasties, into ancient Persia and beyond, into the mists of history, these families have moved Kings and Queens, Bishops, Knights and Pawns behind the scenes. The main family names are:

∙ Orsini

∙ Breakspear

∙ Aldobrandini

∙ Farnese

∙ Somaglia

These are at the core of the Thirteen Ruling Satanic Families of Planet Earth. They exercise control over The Roman Catholic Church through the Jesuit Order, based in Borgo Santo Spirito, Rome, and over International Jewry through their Sanhedrin.

This seat of power over “fallen mankind” works in concert with The Satanic Committee of Three Hundred, as mentioned in the works of Dr. John Coleman

Some reading this may find it surprising, even unbelievable that the same people actually control both Christianity and Judaism, for on the world stage, these have been presented as opposites, as arch enemies. Extensive genealogical research, however, reveals this to be the case. I have discovered repeatedly either direct Jewish lineage or closely interwoven Jewish genealogical presence via marriage of all these essentially satanic. As mentioned, some of the material presented here comes from a paper titled “The Papal Bloodlines of the Jesuits”. Though I appreciate some of the detail presented therein , I find the paper not only presents all these families as being of Roman lineage, never once mentioning that ALL these families are of Jewish lineage, further the author belittles and decries those “conspiracy theorists” who declare the Rothschilds and International Jewry as being at the core of creating Hell on earth, are seriously missing their target. The author proceeds to imply all these families are Roman ancestrally, not Jewish, and it is the Roman Catholic Church which focuses Hell on earth, coordinated by these Roman families via the Jesuit Order. This, to me, is serious misdirection and obfuscation of the truth.

The “Papal Bloodline” paper presents an excellent opportunity for me to provide an example of what I have discovered regarding these families. Quoting from pg. 1, “The Cecil family were controlled by the powerful Jesuit family known as the Pallavicini.” I would rather say, the Cecil family was controlled by the powerful Jesuit, yes, but more accurately, by the Jewish family known as the Pallavicini, posing as Jesuits.

You may not be aware of the Cecil dynasty. It serves here as a useful case in point, revealing the direct Jewish lineage of what is otherwise widely understood to be a true blue-blooded, noble, titled, landed, ancient, aristocratic British family. From The Real History, etc., pg 107:

“The founder of the family, William Cecil, First Marquis of Exeter, 1520-1598, was Chancellor of the Exchequer for Queen Elizabeth 1, and played a major role in both appearing to uphold the British monarchy through difficult times and guiding the laying of foundations for what became the British Empire.

Arizona Senate Elections Committee Passes Resolution To Ban Foreign Voting Machines and Require Source Code, Ballot Images, Chain of Custody Documents, and Log Files To Be Made Public

The Arizona Senate Elections Committee yesterday passed a Senate Concurrent Resolution setting official requirements for the use of electronic voting machines in the state.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Elections Committee heard bombshell testimony in the “Elections Mechanics, Part 3″ presentation and voted on a number of election integrity bills.

State Senators stayed in committee from 2 pm until 9 pm on Monday to consider these critical agenda items.

The strike everything amendment to State Senator Anthony Kern’s SCR1037 set official requirements for the voting machines to require all levels of production to occur in the United States, making source code available to the public, and requiring the Secretary of State to post ballot images, chain of custody documents, and log files on their website within 24 hours after polls close.

The proposed amendment by Senator Sonny Borrelli passed with five Republicans for and three Democrats against.

It states:

Page 1, strike everything after the resolving clause and insert:

“That no voting system or component or subcomponent of a voting system or component, including firmware software or hardware, assemblies and subassemblies with integrated circuits or on which any firmware or software operates, may be used or purchased as the primary method for casting, recording and tabulating ballots used in any election held in this state for federal office unless:

1. All components have been designed, manufactured, integrated and assembled in the United States from trusted suppliers, using trusted processes accredited by the Defense Microelectronics Activity as prescribed by the United States Department of Defense; and

2. The source code used in any computerized voting machine for federal elections is made available to the public; and

3. The ballot images and system log files from each tabulator are recorded on a secure write-once, read-many media with clear chain of custody and posted on the Secretary of State’s website free of charge to the public within twenty-four hours after the close of the polls; and

4. The legislature transmits this resolution to the secretary of state.”

Read the full amendment here.

Elections Committee Chairwoman Wendy Rogers tweeted the resolution’s passage and highlighted that this resolution will go directly to the Secretary of State, bypassing the Governor’s office.
