- As we mentioned in previous story, the greatest U.S./Canada
black-out was to block the wire-transfers of Saudi funds deposited mainly
in money center banks in New York.
-
- The transfers scheduled to begin that Thursday afternoon,
August 14, 2003, was to start with 98 Billion Dollars, part of upwards
of One Trillion Dollars of Saudi monies in U.S. banks.
-
- This was to have been a consequence of the bitter divorce
between the Bush Crime Family/Carlyle Group and their now disgruntled business
partners, the Saudi Royal Family. To try to divert attention from the treason
of the Bushies, the occupant and resident of the White House began falsely
blaming 9-11 on so-called "Arab terrorists" supposedly financed
by the Saudi Royals.
-
- The Arabs were NOT direct participants, just orchestrated
patsies, to protect the crazies high up in the U.S. Military, and the same
mindset in the American/British Aristocracy, for which the Bushies are
scapegoats and stooges.
-
- The pro-British American monopoly press as well as the
press of the United Kingdom have suddenly come forward with accusations
against the Canadian transit point of the Saudi flight capital, namely
Toronto, as well as stories calculated to defame the Vatican, with their
official banker the French Rothschilds being intended recipients of the
Saudi funds to be transferred out of the U.S.
-
- And how will the occupant and resident of the White House
now deal with this? By declaring a National Bank Holiday, based on data
that the major U.S. money center banks are insolvent (which they are and
will be moreso minus the Saudi deposits) and that such banks have gambled
away their assets on gold and oil hocus-pocus derivatives, putting the
banks over the cliff by more than Thirty Trillion Dollars? And will the
impending collapse of U.S. Treasury securities be a reason to block the
Saudi accounts in the major U.S. banks, mainly in New York?
-
- The pro-British American Monopoly Press as well as that
of the United Kingdom have sprung into action to accuse those involved
in the intended transit of the Saudi funds out of the U.S.
-
- [1] A part of the intended route of the Saudi monies
was to have been through Toronto, Canada, victim of total black-out. The
British news service, Reuters, circulated an apparently false story that
the leaders in Toronto were not available to deal with the black-out emergency.
-
- [2] A major British publication, The Observer, linked
to the Guardian of London, picked this very moment to circulate a story
that there is reputedly a Vatican document in Latin, authorized more than
four decades ago by then Pope John 23rd, commanding absolute secrecy on
the accusations of sexual abuse by clerics. Violators, according to the
reputed document, would be excommunicated from The Church. Is this a mere
coincidence that the Vatican is thus lambasted at the very moment the Vatican
along with the French Rothschilds was scheduled to have been the recipients
of the Saudi flight capital?
-
- [3] Another possibly related event, is that the representative
of the Super-Secret Covert Operations Chief of the U.S. Treasury has demanded
censorship of a Toronto-based weekly two-hour radio show, "Cloak and
Dagger" with motto "Talk Radio for Spies!" The demand is
that the website, <http://www.cloakanddagger.ca/>www.cloakanddagger.ca
of the show take down and redact certain documents proving treason by top
U.S. officials. The excuse for this intended suppression? That it violates---now
get this---the National Security of the United States, NOT Canada!

- After Blackout, Toronto Wonders where Leaders Are

- By Amran Abocar
- TORONTO (Reuters) - As Canada's biggest city struggled
back to life on Friday
- following a massive power outage that hit large areas
of North America, Toronto
- residents were looking around for their civic leaders.
- There was a noticeable lack of leadership to guide Toronto,
the country's
- financial hub, as subways ground to a halt, the city
was pitched into darkness
- and thousands were milling about downtown streets late
into the night.
- In contrast to New York City and Ottawa, where mayors
quickly appeared at press
- conferences to calm residents and provided regular updates,
Toronto Mayor Mel
- Lastman was noticeably absent.
- Lastman appeared only briefly at a press conference in
a command center in
- northern Toronto.
- Ontario's Premier Ernie Eves was not in the city when
the blackout hit but held
- a hasty scrum to say the government was not to blame
for the outage. He flew
- back to Toronto and, via a statement, declared a state
of emergency and
- encouraged people to stay at home on Friday.
- "The question -- and it deserves to be shouted --
is: 'Where was the
- government?"' said the Globe and Mail in a thin
edition of its newspaper on
- Friday. "Don't people have the right to hear from
their elected officials, if
- only to be reassured?
- "The silence was deafening."
- Instead, residents of "Toronto the Good" took
matters into their own hands,
- directing traffic, sharing radios and information and
helping each other.
- "People's reactions are just unbelievable,"
a Toronto waitress told a newspaper.
- "No-one's panicking. Everyone's cool. We're all
helping each other. I love
- this."
- For seven hours, one in three Canadians had no electricity
as the blackout cut
- power to some 10 million people after the outage that
was blamed, in conflicting
- reports, on a plant in New York or Pennsylvania.
- The Toronto transit system ground to a halt and thousands
were stranded as
- temperatures hit 30 C (86 F). Subway stations were closed
to prevent
- overcrowding.
- Even at the federal level the reaction was muted and
confusing.
- The office of Prime Minister Jean Chretien -- who was
in his hometown of
- Shawinigan, Quebec, which was unaffected by the blackout
-- initially said the
- outage was due to a lightning strike at a Niagara Falls,
New York, plant.
- Then the prime minister's office said it was a fire,
not lightening.
- That contradicted his Defense Minister, John McCallum,
who held a conference
- call -- carried live on Canadian radio -- to announce
it was actually a fire at
- a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. McCallum then
said it was not a fire but
- an outage and urged people not to panic.
- On Friday morning, there was still no clear assessment
on what exactly caused
- the outage.

- Vatican told bishops to cover up sex abuse
-
- Expulsion threat in secret documents
-

the 1962 Vatican document (PDF file)
-
- Antony Barnett, public affairs editor
- Sunday August 17, 2003
- The Observer
-
- The Vatican instructed Catholic bishops around the world
to cover up cases of sexual abuse or risk being thrown out of the Church.
-
- The Observer has obtained a 40-year-old confidential
document from the secret Vatican archive which lawyers are calling a 'blueprint
for deception and concealment'. One British lawyer acting for Church child
abuse victims has described it as 'explosive'.
-
- The 69-page Latin document bearing the seal of Pope John
XXIII was sent to every bishop in the world. The instructions outline a
policy of 'strictest' secrecy in dealing with allegations of sexual abuse
and threatens those who speak out with excommunication.
-
- They also call for the victim to take an oath of secrecy
at the time of making a complaint to Church officials. It states that the
instructions are to 'be diligently stored in the secret archives of the
Curia [Vatican] as strictly confidential. Nor is it to be published nor
added to with any commentaries.'
-
- The document, which has been confirmed as genuine by
the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, is called 'Crimine solicitationies',
which translates as 'instruction on proceeding in cases of solicitation'.
-
- It focuses on sexual abuse initiated as part of the confessional
relationship between a priest and a member of his congregation. But the
instructions also cover what it calls the 'worst crime', described as an
obscene act perpetrated by a cleric with 'youths of either sex or with
brute animals (bestiality)'.
-
- Bishops are instructed to pursue these cases 'in the
most secretive way... restrained by a perpetual silence... and everyone...
is to observe the strictest secret which is commonly regarded as a secret
of the Holy Office... under the penalty of excommunication'.
-
- Texan lawyer Daniel Shea uncovered the document as part
of his work for victims of abuse from Catholic priests in the US. He has
handed it over to US authorities, urging them to launch a federal investigation
into the clergy's alleged cover-up of sexual abuse.
-
- He said: 'These instructions went out to every bishop
around the globe and would certainly have applied in Britain. It proves
there was an international conspiracy by the Church to hush up sexual abuse
issues. It is a devious attempt to conceal criminal conduct and is a blueprint
for deception and concealment.'
-
- British lawyer Richard Scorer, who acts for children
abused by Catholic priests in the UK, echoes this view and has described
the document as 'explosive'.
-
- He said: 'We always suspected that the Catholic Church
systematically covered up abuse and tried to silence victims. This document
appears to prove it. Threatening excommunication to anybody who speaks
out shows the lengths the most senior figures in the Vatican were prepared
to go to prevent the information getting out to the public domain.'
-
- Scorer pointed out that as the documents dates back to
1962 it rides roughshod over the Catholic Church's claim that the issue
of sexual abuse was a modern phenomenon.
-
- He claims the discovery of the document will raise fresh
questions about the actions of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the head
of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales.
-
- Murphy-O'Connor has been accused of covering up allegations
of child abuse when he was Bishop of Arundel and Brighton. Instead of reporting
to the police allegations of abuse against Michael Hill, a priest in his
charge, he moved him to another position where he was later convicted for
abusing nine children.
-
- Although Murphy-O'Connor has apologised publicly for
his mistake, Scorer claims the secret Vatican document raises the question
about whether his failure to report Hill was due to him following this
instruction from Rome.
-
- Scorer, who acts for some of Hill's victims, said: 'I
want to know whether Murphy-O'Connor knew of these Vatican instructions
and, if so, did he apply it. If not, can he tell us why not?'
-
- A spokesman for the Catholic Church denied that the secret
Vatican orders were part of any organised cover-up and claims lawyers are
taking the document 'out of context' and 'distorting it'.
-
- He said: 'This document is about the Church's internal
disciplinary procedures should a priest be accused of using confession
to solicit sex. It does not forbid victims to report civil crimes. The
confidentiality talked about is aimed to protect the accused as applies
in court procedures today. It also takes into consideration the special
nature of the secrecy involved in the act of confession.' He also said
that in 1983 the Catholic Church in England and Wales introduced its own
code dealing with sexual abuse, which would have superseded the 1962 instructions.
Asked whether Murphy-O'Connor was aware of the Vatican edict, he replied:
'He's never mentioned it to me.'
-
- Lawyers point to a letter the Vatican sent to bishops
in May 2001 clearly stating the 1962 instruction was in force until then.
The letter is signed by Cardinal Ratzinger, the most powerful man in Rome
beside the Pope and who heads the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith - the office which ran the Inquisition in the Middle Ages.
-
- Rev Thomas Doyle, a US Air Force chaplain in Germany
and a specialist in Church law, has studied the document. He told The Observer:
'It is certainly an indication of the pathological obsession with secrecy
in the Catholic Church, but in itself it is not a smoking gun.
-
- 'If, however, this document actually has been the foundation
of a continuous policy to cover clergy crimes at all costs, then we have
quite another issue. There are too many authenticated reports of victims
having been seriously intimidated into silence by Church authorities to
assert that such intimidation is the exception and not the norm.
-
- 'If this document has been used as a justification for
this intimidation then we possibly have what some commentators have alleged,
namely, a blueprint for a cover-up. This is obviously a big "if"
which requires concrete proof.'
