BREAKING: Viganò releases new ‘testimony’ responding to Pope’s silence on McCarrick cover-up

 

ROME, September 27, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has today issued a new extraordinary testimony, responding to Pope Francis’ refusal to answer the charge that he knew of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s sexual abuse, yet made McCarrick “one of his principal agents in governing the Church.”

 

In the four-page document (see below), the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States also responds to the Pope’s recent homilies which seem to cast himself in the role of Christ and Viganò as the diabolical “Great Accuser.”

 

“Has Christ perhaps become invisible to his vicar? Perhaps is he being tempted to try to act as a substitute of our only Master and Lord?” Archbishop Viganò asks in the new statement, sent to LifeSiteNews today.

 

Given the symbolic date of September 29, the liturgical feast of St. Michael the Archangel, and bearing the Archbishop’s episcopal coat of arms and motto, Viganò:

 

explains why he believes he had a duty to come forward despite his oath to keep the “pontifical secret,” adding that “the purpose of any secret, including the pontifical secret, is to protect the Church from her enemies, not to cover up and become complicit in crimes committed by some of her members”;

restates with vigor his central charge that “since at least June 23, 2013, the Pope knew from me how perverse and evil McCarrick was in his intentions and actions, and instead of taking the measures that every good pastor would have taken, the pope made McCarrick one of his principal agents in governing the Church, in regard to the United States, the Curia, and even China, as we are seeing these days with great concern and anxiety for that martyr Church”;

points to the Pope’s initial response that he would “not say a word” but then notes that he contradicts himself, in comparing “his silence to that of Jesus in Nazareth and before Pilate,” and Viganò to “the great accuser, Satan, who sows scandal and division in the Church, though without ever uttering my name”;

raises concern over revelations that Pope Francis played a role in covering up for or blocking investigations into other priests and prelates, including Fr. Julio Grassi, Fr. Mauro Inzoli, and Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor;

and says it was Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, who told him of Pope Benedict’s sanctions against McCarrick. Addressing the Cardinal, he writes: “You have at your complete disposal key documents incriminating McCarrick and many in the curia for their cover-ups. Your Eminence, I urge you to bear witness to the truth…”

Voter Fraud Massachusetts – Will Effect Other States – Deep State member exposed

 

GOP’s Amore Rips Massachusetts Secretary of State Galvin For Not Sharing Voter Data With Other States

 

A day after New Hampshire’s attorney general charged a couple with voting in two states during the 2016 presidential election, Republican Anthony Amore knocked Secretary of State William Galvin for withdrawing Massachusetts from the interstate data sharing program used to uncover the voter fraud.

 

Grace and John Flemming, of Hampton, New Hampshire, have been indicted for voting absentee in their home state in the 2016 election before crossing state lines and also casting ballots in Belchertown, Massachusetts.

 

New Hampshire authorities used data shared among states through the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program to ferret out the fraud.

 

Amore, who is running against Galvin this cycle, said the state’s chief elections officer never should have withdrawn Massachusetts from the Crosscheck program in early 2017, which he said has left Massachusetts vulnerable heading into the 2018 midterms.

Cooold War: Dutch troops have to buy winter underwear on their own ahead of major NATO drill

The Dutch military has experienced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, realizing too late that the soldiers might need warm underwear for upcoming NATO drills in Norway. The troops now will have to go shopping themselves.

 

The defense ministry failed to procure winter clothes for its soldiers ahead of the Trident Juncture 18 exercise in Norway. Around 1,000 Dutch soldiers, set to take part in the drills, will have to go shopping on their own, defense chief Barbara Vesser acknowledged on Tuesday.

 

Vesser said there was no lack of uniforms and the soldiers only have to purchase warm underwear on their own. It seems, however, that the ministry is really concerned about the quality of the underpants, as each trooper will receive €1,000 (US$1,167) to go shopping.

 

Dutch lawmakers were outraged by the revelation, blasting it as “super embarrassing” and a “bizarre state of affairs.” Some criticized the minister’s way of handling the underwear crisis, expressing doubt whether the soldiers will be able to buy the right clothes on their own.

 

“Safety is primarily the responsibility of the employer. How does the State Secretary know that the soldiers will buy the right clothes?” Dutch MP Andreas Bosman said, as quoted by the NL Times newspaper.

 

The defense ministry blamed a “lack of time” for the shortage, adding that sending soldiers shopping was an “emergency” measure which will not be repeated.

Iran Dismisses Netanyahu's UN Remarks on Secret Nuclear Facility

 

"The world will laugh at Netanyahu's speech," an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson said, commenting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claims about Iran having a secret nuclear facility.

 

Iran dismissed Netanyahu's remarks, which he made during his speech at the UN General Assembly Thursday, according to a report by New York Times.

 

In his speech, the Israeli prime minister claimed that Iran had a secret facility in Tehran, which it used to store large amounts of equipment and material for a secret nuclear weapons program.

 

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi dismissed the claims, according to a report by Reuters. "The world will only laugh loudly at this type of false, meaningless and unnecessary speech," he said.

 

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif similarly dismissed Netanyahu's claims, calling them "an arts and crafts show."

 

"No arts and craft show will ever obfuscate that Israel is only regime in our region with a secret and undeclared nuclear weapons program — including an actual atomic arsenal," he wrote on Twitter.

 

"Time for Israel to fess up and open its illegal nuclear weapons program to international inspectors," he added.

JP Morgan Just Launched The Largest Ever Real-World Blockchain Application=

 

P Morgan just launched the largest ever real-world blockchain application, developed to facilitate corporate cross-border payments. In that surprising development lies several lessons for public equity investors of financial services companies.

 

The classic paradigm of disruptive innovation assumes incumbent companies remain quiescent as new tech-enabled competition starts to nibble away at the low end of a market. This is not an assumption of corporate laziness. Rather, it makes sense that established businesses would actually not mind losing low-margin, low average revenue/unit customers. “Let the upstart take them… our return on capital actually improves when we shed that segment of the market!”

 

Well, Amazon’s success over the last decade has changed that mentality to some degree within even the largest companies. No one wants to be Barnes & Noble. Or Wal-Mart, for that matter. But altering large company behavior remains difficult, so it is still unusual to see a brand-name multinational really thinking – and acting – outside the box.

 

We did recently come across one example: JP Morgan’s initiative to remake the cross-border payments business using an Ethereum-based blockchain system called Quorum. Sending dollars from a corporate account in the US to Europe or Asia may sound easy, but in reality anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations are complex and everything has to be done just so. At our prior company, partly owned by another very large multinational bank, we had to sit through hours of compliance training on such topics. It’s no joke…

 

Payments such as these are exactly where you would expect to see big financial institutions like JP Morgan cede ground to new blockchain-enabled startups with a cost advantage over large commercial banks. “Blockchain” is the technology that powers bitcoin and other crypto currencies. It offers a secure way to validate transactions and is much cheaper to run than a centralized, company-specific system. And payments are a low margin business for most banks, offered primarily to keep corporate Treasury customers happy so they will buy other more lucrative services. New technology meets low-profit business line = classic disruption story.

 

Other banks must see the same threat, because yesterday the Financial Times reported that JP Morgan has signed up more than 75 of the world’s largest banks to its new Interbank Information Network, powered by the Quorum blockchain. Two banks – RBC and ANZ – had been testing IIN since October of last year along with JPM. All this makes the IIN/Quorum the single largest real-world application of blockchain technology out there, according to JPM.

 

For public equity investors that have investments in financial services companies, three quick observations to finish off this section:

 

There are many reasons why JP Morgan (+7.6%) has done so much better than the S&P Financials (+0.2%) this year, and the story above is too small a part of the company to have a financial impact. Still, we find the bank’s efforts to push the technological envelope refreshing and unusual for its peer group. Whether this ethos sparks a modest revaluation in JPM over the next 3-5 year remains to be seen, but it can’t hurt.

To the degree to which traditional financial stocks suffer from a “disruption discount”, this story shows it is possible for old-line companies to adapt. Case in point: the market cap of American Express is $93 billion while PayPal’s is $106 billion. On less than half of AXP’s revenue base. That’s what disruption is worth when you do it correctly.

Regulation is actually a friend to incumbents. All that KYC and AML paperwork makes corporate cross-border payments a tough nut to crack for disruptive new entrants. And since financial services is one of the most regulated industries in the US, there is (in theory) plenty of time for this industry to adapt.
