Close ‘confidante’ says Cardinal Pell’s nose broken when body sent to Australia by the Vatican

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — A close confidante of Cardinal George Pell has attested that the late cardinal’s nose was broken and his body treated with “gross disrespect,” upon the arrival of his body in Australia from the Vatican.

 

In a July 4 program, Sky News Australia host Andrew Bolt commented on what he called a “final insult to a great and innocent man,” namely Cardinal George Pell. Bolt said that he had “promised not to reveal what I know to spare Pell’s grieving family,” but that following recent comments made by the Vatican’s ex-auditor general Libero Milone to The Australian – and after checking with Pell’s brother David – he was free to share “most” of his information.

 

A “Pell confidante at the opening of the coffin” after the Vatican sent Pell’s body to Australia for burial reportedly found that Pell had been treated with “gross disrespect,” said Bolt.

 

“Perhaps it was just incompetence, but some of Pell’s closest associates have told me they suspected some in the Vatican had not forgiven Pell for exposing corruption,” Bolt continued.

Pell’s brother David told Bolt on July 3 that “the embalming…had been mucked up, or buggered up.”

 

“A Sydney undertaker had to clean the body – Pell’s nose had also been broken. Pell was also shoeless,” Bolt said that David Pell had confided.

 

Bolt continued:

In fact, I’d been told he wasn’t only shoeless – all his clothes had simply been just thrown in the coffin… The Vatican should now be deeply, deeply ashamed to have treated his body so shabbily.

 

Pell died on January 10, 2023 after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest following “routine hip replacement surgery,” an operation which was itself successful.

 

As noted by Veteran Vaticanista Edward Pentin at the time of Pell’s death, the hip surgery had proceeded well and the cardinal had been “in good spirits, chatting with hospital staff” after the operation before succumbing to the reported cardiac arrest.

 

The cardinal’s death came as a huge shock to his close friends and to the Church at large. Some of his confidants, including Cardinal Raymond Burke, had urged him to return to Australia for his surgery rather than have the procedure done in Rome – something which Burke has mentioned a number of times in subsequent interviews. However, Pell chose to remain in Rome and undergo surgery at the Salvator Mundi hospital, citing his cardinal’s duty to be present at the Vatican.

 

Bolt added that the treatment of Pell’s body suggested his enemies in the Vatican were still at large.

“Pell once told me didn’t feel safe in the Vatican as he chased the thieves,” Bolt recounted. “He hid documents in London and Sydney. What was done to him after his death makes me suspect he was right.”

 

The Sky News host’s comments came in light of an interview given to The Australian on July 2, in which Libero Milone revealed his concerns about circumstances surrounding the sudden death of Pell.

Milone worked alongside Pell to reform the Vatican finances, and told The Australian that the cardinal’s death is “shrouded in mystery.”

Another nation (Vietnam) adopts mandatory biometric digital ID system

https://leohohmann.substack.com/p/another-nation-adopts-mandatory-biometric

 

Leo Hohmann

Vietnam is the latest country to start implementing a mandatory biometric digital ID system.

The Vietnamese Law on Identity went into effect July 1 and will establish a detailed digital citizen identification system that will touch every citizen.

 

The iris biometric details of citizens will be collected along with fingerprints and facial images when citizens apply for an ID card, according to an article by BiometricUpdate.com, a website that tracks the global movement toward digitization of all things, including human beings.

 

Vietnam’s Identity Law introduces several key changes, including the mandatory collection of biometric information for citizens applying for ID cards. A clause in the law mandates that assigned state agencies will collect identification data, including facial images, fingerprints, and irises, from applicants. The government says the move is designed to bolster security and accuracy of identity verification processes.

 

According to Biometric Update:

“The introduction of this law is expected to have widespread implications across various sectors, particularly in banking, which is at the forefront of Vietnam’s digital transformation. With 87 percent of adults in Vietnam holding at least one bank account, according to VOV World, and 95 percent of transactions being processed digitally by many banks, the integration of advanced biometric data into identity verification processes is poised to further streamline digital banking services and enhance customer security.”

 

The article goes on to state that, “The Law on Identity encompasses several key provisions designed to achieve its objectives including the establishment of a centralized national database that stores the biometric and personal information of all citizens, and provision for the creation of digital identities that citizens can use for online transactions and interactions with government services.”

 

All citizens are required to register for the national ID card, with specific provisions for newborns, migrants, and those without prior documentation.

 

Vietnam is also introducing new banking regulations that require biometric authentication for all transactions of $393 or more at one time, or $785 or more in a day.

 

This technology is rapidly evolving and about to break out of whatever has held it back in recent years. We must prepare our minds for what it will take to make a stand against this evil system. The vast majority will go along with it, even in countries with a strong history and culture of freedom. But no country will be immune from the impacts of digitization.

 

The Biometric Prism Project , which advocates the digitization of everything, states that, “in the age of digital transformation the only true, reliable link between humans and their digital data is biometrics.”

 

The graphic ABOVE from the Biometric Prism Project breaks the global digitization process down by function and shows the corporations/programs involved.

 

Being able to digitize every person’s identity marks the cornerstone of the globalists’ craving for complete control of all human activity. They tout digital IDs as the wave of the future in terms of payment systems for all goods and services, as well as for all travel, all dispensing of healthcare, government benefits, financial services, and of course you being in compliance with the globalized national-security state at airports, train stations and other points of entry.

 

This globalized national-security state is merging with the globalized surveillance state and there’s a lot of money being made by the private corporations contracting with governments to set up the infrastructure of digital slavery. The ability to track the movement of everything in real time centers on the adoption of this one thing — the biometric digital ID. The parallels to Revelation Chapter 13 in the Bible are uncanny and it’s all happening right in front of our faces. They will tell us it’s all about our safety, security and convenience, but that is nothing but a misdirection tactic to get us to ignore the dark side of this technology.

Did u know

Congress is exempt from FOIA requests

Why FOIA Obligations Don't Apply to Congress

Bar Association attorney says it's not because lawmakers are protecting themselves.

 

CHARLES S. CLARK | MARCH 25, 2016

Agencies employees frustrated by oversight demands of lawmakers have often wondered why the public disclosure obligations under the 50-year-old Freedom of Information Act do not apply to Congress itself.

 

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and some in the transparency advocacy community have in the past pressed for more disclosure requirements for lawmakers, as has the Obama administration (though it removed its own Office of Administration from FOIA coverage a year ago).

 

In a press briefing last June, White House spokesman Josh Earnest jabbed Congress after an oversight hearing criticized the administration for having processed only 647,000 FOIA requests the previous fiscal year.

 

"I would note that that is 647,000 more FOIA requests than were processed by the United States Congress," he told reporters. "And those who are interested in advocating for genuine transparency and government should advocate for Congress being subject to those kinds of transparency measures."

 

To no one’s surprise, the FOIA reform bills that have cleared Congress in the past year do not contain any language broadening the disclosure demands on lawmakers themselves.

 

Enacted in 1966, FOIA “applies to records either created or obtained by an agency and under agency control at the time of the FOIA request,” noted a summary by the Internal Revenue Service. “Agencies within the executive branch of the federal government, including the Executive Office of the President and independent regulatory agencies, are subject to the FOIA. State governments, municipal corporations, the courts, Congress and private citizens are not subject to the FOIA.”

 

Transparency groups recognize the difficulty of placing disclosure demands on Congress on grounds that lawmakers enjoy the same privacy rights as agency managers and private individuals for whom FOIA allows exceptions.

 

“As an organization, we promote transparency but not blind transparency, and we are aware that genuine restrictions might be appropriate,” Liz Hempwicz, a public policy associate at the nonprofit Project on Government Oversight, told Government Executive. “However, we have fought to have access to many congressional records, including Congressional Research Service reports, and an open legislative process. POGO supports Congress being subject to FOIA so far as it would increase the public interest as well as congressional functionality, and hopefully the public would have some say in helping Congress set those standards.”

 

But Thomas Susman, an attorney and director of the Governmental Affairs Office at the American Bar Association, said he sees little point in such an expansion of FOIA. He cited three reasons—none of which involve Congress’ desire for self-protection.

 

Historically, during the 1960s onward, Congress never applied legislation to itself, he said: not when it created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, environmental laws or equal employment laws. Such congressional accountability “is only a recent phenomenon,” he said.

 

The second reason has to do with FOIA’s “format.” It was enacted as an amendment to the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act so that it would go before the right congressional committees, and that law has always applied only to agencies, Susman said.

 

Finally, “for a long period Congress has been pretty open, with committee hearings and debate,” he said. Even without a Sunshine Act, “information has been pretty freely available online.” The only exception that has prompted transparency groups’ activism is the proprietary CRS reports, and even those get released by outside groups, he added.

 

Correspondence between members of Congress and individuals and even draft bills (many of which are voluntarily released) are protected “as private, as pre-decisional parts of the deliberative process,” Susman said. “What would you get if you applied FOIA to Congress? The answer, I think, is nothing.”

Something weird happening with UK general election exit poll

 

Trend line showing average voting intention before the elections:

• Reform UK - gaining over the time with recent polls showing 17% heading to 20%

• Labor - losing over time with the chart showing 39% as a last figure.

 

Today, the election day, exit poll:

• Reform UK - 13 seats of 650 = less than 2%

• Labor - 410 seats out of 650 = 63%

These are not final results, just exit polls, but it looks shocking!
