I'm Argentinian, disgracefully true- I lived those days. the operacion Cóndor had both
sides of the game Firmenich one of he two heads of Montoneros had frecuently 5'O'Clock english tea with General Jorge Videla the chief of the Junta while his people ended in the "chupaderos" ERP was the other
group, but what can I say they murdered my cousin in law that was the mechanical CEO
of Fiat Argentina, before him they had sequestered & murdered Sallustro the President or Vice-President as the real President was Gianni Agnelli. the murderers were a couple
of medics of the ERP Years later when we were about to leave Argentina I met the man
that was Publicity CEO of Fiat and a friend of my cousin in law Fiat investigated more deeply
about these 2 murders. they were payed by the Italian Fiat Sindicates in connection with
the mafia, The reason: Fiat Argentine under Sallustro and Giorgio were innovating components of the cars making them better safer and cheaper, so Agnelli had planned
to close the Italian fabrication of those models and leave it to Argentine to do them.
As you can see nothing is what it looks like.
What Bergoglio did in Argentine was horrible, but compared with closing the Churches and that you were no a Catholic if you didn't jab
with the Covid experiment thousands of deaths happened because of the damn..... Arrangement with
Moderna & Pfizer? both were seen with him in the Vatican. And what about the Bishopry
NGO's bringing in immigrants, raped, abused by coyotes? & the 350000 children
missing? Was he trapped by his past? Epstein Style, When the Rotchilds are in middle......
What can I say about Ukraine? I think that the most common sense I have heard
As a pope, he refused to investigate bishops who had been accused of pedophilia , instead he promoted a few of those.
He excommunicated extraordinarily good man Carlo Vigano for disagreeing with the pope about C19 and these pedos.
Evil Francis also said that everyone should take the C19 vax 'or they did not love god' if they did not take mRNA jabs - direct quote btw. He was 100% full speed behind coercing and guilting people into taking the mRNA jabs.
Francis also hated white people, and demanded that every immigrant should be given everything for free and they should not be punished of crimes. His opinion was that everyone who wants to come to western countries, should be let in and catered to everything they desire.
Francis was also rabid LGBT agenda promoter.
I truly do not care what that guy said about Israel and Ukraine, because 2 good things do not make thousand evil things go away. May his evilness bathe in the fires of hell. One of the worst popes ever.
I find it extraordinarily arrogant that two nations that are bristling with nukes - Douglas McGregor estimates Israel has 300 of them - think they can demand that another nation can't have them. Iran has demonstrated that it is infinitely less bellicose than the US and Israel, given the constant provocations that they give it.
It is also extraordinarily arrogant of the EU and the UK to think they are able to team up with Ukraine to make demands on Russia without even having the courtesy of inviting Russia to the talks. One sided diplomacy doesn't work. Which part of "losers don't get to negotiate" do they not understand?
And on the Pope's Easter demise: Vatican Limbo - How Low Can You go? - the Vatican is dismayed at the number of people taking selfies with the Pope!
I wouldn't trust the Israelis with a box of matches, yet alone nukes. I had heard that Israel's nukes were up for discussion during these talks. But maybe that was someone being hopeful. Cheers Joy
Trump does not want an official war with Iran that closes the straights of Hormuz. I would argue Iran has been in an unofficial war with the U.S. since the fall of the shah (thanks Jimmy Carter), with ups and downs. The death to America rhetoric and actions gives legitimacy to the government.
Trump feels he is on a mission and has limited time to change the course of the supertanker that is the United States. Super tankers take a long time to make a turn. And the opposition to Trump is incredible. China has so much influence among U.S. elites. I’m not sure who’s using actblue to launder money into the Democratic Party, but it’s huge:
Russia’s tactics are to grind Ukraine down at a minimum cost. This is reflected in the lopsided casualty ratio, probably 9:1, at the cost of a slow advance. The question is how long can Ukraine sustain this. A terrorist attack I see as a desperate act, probably with huge uk influence. Trump is at least talking to Russia, but Putin knows of the ability of any future U.S. president able to renege any deal their predecessor did (Bush 2 made a deal with Khadify to de nuke, Obama/Clinton reneged it, and he ended up dead and sodomized, and Libya with slave auctions). Ukraine and its supporters have purchased huge political influence in the U.S., so Trump has to discredit Zelensky and show he is the obstacle to peace. Interesting question on why is their huge support for Ukraine in the West, especially the uk.
Film looks interesting - I'll watch out for it. I think the Russians are also doing their best to discredit Z - with the ceasefires for example. But now Z has killed someone who was part of Russia's negotiating team discrediting himself even more. Cheers.

"Starting in 1942, roughly one ton of pure uranium was produced per day in downtown St. Louis. It was then shipped to labs across the country for the top secret Manhattan Project that created the first nuclear bomb.
The leftover waste was dumped around the city.
"That material was in 82 different spots throughout St. Louis County. It spilled. Children played in it. It seemed to me that there wasn't an attempt to absolutely get to the bottom of it," Morice said"
*** also, University involvement
"In 1942, the Manhattan Project needed to create a chain reaction—a crucial step toward proving that it would be possible to make an atomic bomb. The scientists achieved this sustained nuclear reaction, the first created by humans, on Dec. 2, 1942, in a squash court under the stands of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago."
It’s astounding that the US thinks it has any credibility at all as it publicly pushes for peace in Ukraine, while arming and supporting Ukraine with targeting data and intelligence. That this isn’t discussed more widely boggles the mind.
Also astounding is the US’ hubris in trying to dictate which countries can have nuclear power and other activities within sovereign countries. The West behaves like it governs the entire world. This won’t end well.
Thanks Rob, a very well compiled update for this week.
Interesting that you mention Trump and his not so pro-relationship with the evil Netanyahu.
In Ukraine it looks like the talking and dying will go on a bit longer but still there is no recognition of the root causes of the conflict by the collective western leaders. The nazi lovers in the halls of the EU are more vociferous than ever.
While their msm still paints a picture of Russia bad Ukraine good for it's readers to wallow in lies.
The demand for 30% of bundeswehr jets and tanks etc. by the Ukrainian UN envoy is bonkers.
Russia is controlling the situation very well. They know the moment any full ceasefire is started there would be a rush of NATO units into Odessa to up the escalation when it fails.
Is the genocide of Palestinians and the destruction of the earth in Palestinian a cry to embrace the poor and "“... our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured flowers and herbs."
"The audacity of the Laudato Si! encyclical is equalled only by the multiple
efforts to deaden as much as possible its message and effects. Once again,
ecological questions, as soon as they are introduced into the regular course
of our familiar thought patterns, modify from top to bottom the attitudes
of all the protagonists. ‘How can a Pope dare to speak of ecology?’ ask both
the faithful who expect an encyclical either to reinforce a doctrinal matter
or clarify some moral question, and the indifferent who have never
touched an encyclical in their lives, nor expected anything at all from the
magisterium of the church. Many of the faithful block their ears so as not
to hear the voice calling for radical conversion (§-114. “All of this shows the
urgent need for us to move forward in a bold cultural revolution”) while
the indifferent prick up their ears to listen to the voice of someone who
they don’t for a second imagine could be ‘on their side’ (§-145. “The
imposition of a dominant lifestyle linked to a single form of production
can be just as harmful as the altering of ecosystems.”)
Like all major religious or political texts, Laudato Si! requires a realignment
of all established positions and requires one to take a stand in the midst of
battles that one did not know to be so violent, nor that the Church could
play a part in them. The church has long been alienated from political,
moral or intellectual innovation, and until now limited to a more or less
strict preservation of the ‘treasure of faith’ and to bringing in the moral
police. And now it is sending a message putting it at the heart of the most
vital arguments as if it were still present in history. What? Has the Pope
written a new Communist Party Manifesto? Some are scandalized, others
rejoice. Everyone is surprised. We must shut this down immediately! The
Vatican belongs to the past, it can’t be in the present…"

Many thanks for your comments about the Pope. I have edited the Update with a footnote which refers to all the negative comments subscribers have made here.
Tass says this: https://tass.com/emergencies/1949355 whereas Pravda claims that he was a negotiator but doesn't mention Ukraine. My source was https://t.me/infodefENGLAND/27414. It says he was a negotiator on Ukraine but this may have misled me because I assumed he was involved in current negotiations. The phrase used was: 'Moskalik had participated in Ukraine talks on behalf of the Russian Defense Ministry'. He may have been but digging a little deeper I found that he was involved in Ukrainian negotiations back in 2015. So - more may be revealed later. I'll leave it as is for now.
So who was he before he became Pope?

Didn't realise he was that bad. - Cheers
His rewriting of catholic doctrine in the pursuit of progressive/globalist causes would make him a heretic, would it not?
He was part of the club, no doubt.
The Vatican is said to have ordered the most inhumane corona measures worldwide.
Just the type of qualification the college of cardinals would consider appropriate for a pope.
1. Corrupt
2. Fag friendly
3. Must be proficient in singing from Woke songbook
4. Able to con catholics into believing popes have some spiritual authority (not hard this one)

I’m not sure what is going on with Hegeth. Smells of politics. AIPAC, Israeli cheerleader, is a huge force in U.S. politics with a lot of power.
A powerful movie that captures the feelings of Hegeth, who’s clique has a background taking care of vets, is warfare:

2 things:
