Evidence for the REAL Third Secret:
The murder of Pope John Paul I
Veronica - Our Lady now is pointing up to the left side of the sky, and over on the left side I can see two cardinals. They are walking toward each other. Each has the key, a very large golden key in his hand, like this. Now they’re standing in front of each other, and they’re crossing the keys, like this. Two cardinals. Now they’re pointing now with the keys over to the right of them, and over on the right there is the building, a very large building. It appears to be St. Peter’s. Yes, it’s a domed building. It is St. Peter’s, the Vatican.
Now they’re pointing upward with the keys, high over their heads. And in the sky over the keys I can see the numbers of “666” forming. The letterings are black, tinged in red on the outside, “666.” Now it’s beginning to fade away, the whole scene, as though it’s like blowing, evaporating. It’s completely, almost completely gone now.
Our Lady is motioning now to listen.
Our Lady - “My child, you will understand soon the meaning of this message. You must pray now for your new Vicar. There is a foul plan afoot against him.” – September 13, 1978
“My child and My children, I am not intending to go through a long discourse with you on the present state of My Church in Rome. Suffice it to say that 666, Lucifer and his agents, will make a concerted effort to dethrone the present Vicar.* In his plan, the plan of Lucifer, he seeks to unite My Church with the world, and this I shall not permit.” – Jesus, September 28, 1978
* Pope John Paul I was found dead the next morning.
“We will go back, My child, in history, a short history, and remember well what had happened in Rome to John, Pope John, whose reign lasted 33 days. O My child, it is history now, but it is placed in the book that lists the disasters in mankind. He received the horror and martyrdom by drinking from a glass. It was a champagne glass given to him by a now deceased member of the clergy and the Secretariat of the State [Cardinal Villot].” - Our Lady of the Roses, May 21, 1983
Yet another book has been written on the suspicious death of Pope John Paul I, this time by a Spanish priest named Father Jesus Lopez Saez. Building upon the work of David Yallop, Father Saez writes:
After almost three years of research, David Yallop wrote, in his book In God's Name (1984), that the precise circumstances attending the discovery of the body of John Paul I "eloquently demonstrate that the Vatican practiced a disinformation campaign." The Vatican told one lie after another: "Lies about little things, lies about big things. All these lies had but one purpose: to disguise the fact that Albino Luciani, Pope John Paul I, had been assassinated." Pope Luciani "received the palm of martyrdom because of his convictions."
Sister Vicenza
Sister Vicenza found the Holy Father dead at approximately 4:45 a.m. on September 29, 1978 and was forced to keep silent by the Secretariat of State, Cardinal Villot, who imposed a vow of silence upon her to cover-up the whole affair. The secretaries were likewise forbidden to advise anyone of the events without Cardinal Villot's authorization. A trustworthy person conveyed to Fr. Saez personally that Sister Vicenza had said, "But the world must know the truth."
Sister Vicenza gave two conflicting reports concerning the state that she first found Pope John Paul I. According to her breathless words to a group of French priests that same morning, it was "in his bathroom" that she had "found him dead." Yet another report (no doubt arranged by Cardinal Villot), says that Sister Vicenza entered the room and found the Pope sitting up in bed, "with an expression of agony" before he died. This discrepancy is very important: if it was determined that Sister Vicenza found the Holy Father dead in the bathroom, still in his papal robes, this would indicate that Pope John Paul I died shortly after his "toast" with Cardinal Villot the night of September 28, 1978.
Cardinal Villot in the hours following
Pope John Paul I's murder
David Yallop reconstructs the actions of Cardinal Villot and paints a very suspicious portrait. It is reported that at 5:00 a.m. Cardinal Villot confirmed the Holy Father's death. The Pope's glasses, slippers, and will disappeared, "none of these items has ever been seen again." Speculation is that there may have been vomit on the slippers, which if examined would identify poison as the cause of death.
Cardinal Villot (or an aide) telephoned the embalmers and a Vatican car was sent to fetch them. Incredibly, the car was at their door at 5:00 a.m.! What ensued in the following hour is still a mystery.
It was not until 6:00 a.m. that Dr. Buzzonati (not Professor Fontana, the head of the Vatican medical service), arrived and confirmed the death, without drawing up a death certificate. Dr. Buzzonati attributed the death to acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
At about 6:30 a.m. Villot began to inform the cardinals, an hour and a half after the embalmers had arrived! Yallop notes that, for Cardinal Villot, the embalmers took precedence over the cardinals and the head of the Vatican medical service.
By 6 p.m. that evening, the Papal Apartments had been entirely polished and washed. Yallop writes that the secretaries packed up and carried away the Pope's clothes, "including his letters, notes, books and a small handful of personal mementos.... By 6:00 p.m., the entire 19 rooms of the Papal Apartments were totally bereft of anything remotely associated with the Papacy of Luciani."
Villot arranged for the embalming to be performed that evening, a procedure as unusual as it was illegal. Why the rush? It is also reported that during the embalming it was insisted that no blood was to be drained from the body, and neither were any of the organs to be removed. Yallop notes that "a small quantity of blood would of course have been more than sufficient for a forensic scientist to establish the presence of any poisonous substances."
An alibi for Cardinal Villot:
As the book In God's Name (more than 5 million copies sold) attracted worldwide attention, a disinformation campaign arose in 1984 to discredit David Yallop's conclusions. In a news article quoting Fr. Giovanni Gennari (attempting to defend the Curia against the accusations of investigative journalist David Yallop), Fr. Gennari stated: "John Paul II's predecessor mistakenly took an overdose of tranquillisers... After his conversation with Cardinal Villot, the Pope [John Paul I] mistook the dose he should have taken." (Ouest-France, undated press clipping, July 1984) The same article repeats a statement made by Cardinal Villot in 1978, his alibi
Villot: "What occurred was a tragic accident. The Pope had unwittingly taken an overdose of his medicine. If an autopsy was performed it would obviously show this fatal overdose. No one would believe that His Holiness had taken it accidentally. Some would allege suicide, others murder. It was agreed that there would be no autopsy."
So Cardinal Villot's alibi was that Pope John Paul I overdosed on his own medication for low blood pressure (Effortil). This alibi intentionally left room for speculation of suicide, to deflect attention away from the real cause of John Paul I's death: poisoning by Cardinal Villot himself.
Pope John Paul I was in good health
According to Dr. Buzzonati, Pope John Paul I's cause of death was a heart attack. Regarding this alleged “heart attack,” John Paul I's niece affirmed:
“In my family almost no one believes it was a heart attack that killed my uncle. He never had heart trouble or any illness of that kind.” (San Juan Star, October 3, 1978) http://www.thesanjuanstar.com/
And Pope John Paul I’s brother:
“John Paul’s brother Edoardo, in Australia on a trade mission, reported that the Pope had been given a clean bill of health after a medical examination three weeks ago. He was frail in health as an infant and as a young priest, but there were no reports of heart trouble.” (San Juan Star, October 9, 1978)
From Time magazine (October 9, 1978):
In an earlier age so untimely a death might have stirred deep suspicions: “If this were the time of the Borgias,” said a young teacher in Rome, “there’d be talk that John Paul was poisoned.”
But the Vatican replied that such allegations were “irresponsible.” (San Juan Star, October 18, 1978)
Enough evidence for any law-respecting state
Fr. Saez notes in his book that the amount of evidence is such that "no judge on earth could disregard it." He also notes that
"the data and the evidence that we already possess would justify a serious judicial enquiry in any law-respecting state. Now, not only does the Vatican refuse to conduct such an enquiry, but it does exactly the opposite: it thwarts and suppresses any research that tries to get to the bottom of this enigma surrounding John Paul I's death. This state of affairs is manifest in the Vatican's refusal to carry out an autopsy (if in fact one was not carried out) or in the clandestine nature of this operation (if it did actually take place). It also reveals itself in the obscurity surrounding the embalming, in the way that information regarding the circumstances of the death and the discovery of the body was manipulated, in the silence imposed on Sister Vicenza, in the pressure brought to bear on individuals and institutions, and in the widespread fear of speaking about this whole affair. This fear, whether conscious or not, runs particularly deep in ecclesiastical circles."
Prior to Pope John Paul I's murder, Our Lady's message of September 13, 1978 warned that there was a "foul plot" against the Holy Father, and that the world would "soon understand" what She meant. According to Fr. Saez, a recent poll reports that 30% of Italians are convinced that John Paul I was assassinated (about 15 million people).
Fr. Saez's book, Se Pedira Cuenta, (143 pages) is published by: Origenes; Plaza del Tuy, 4; 28029 Madrid Spain.
"But, My children, as I said in the past, I repeat again, that satan and his agents, the band of 666, has entered into the highest places of the hierarchy; and therefore he has captured some of Our formerly noble hierarchy to do his bidding." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 1, 1978

Revised:
1985 The beginning of the expulsion of the Libyan Aviation students, by Margaret Thatcher’s government, culminating in 1986. It was suspected that the Libyan Aviation students were working for the C.I.A. (Central Intelligencia Agencia).
Ashurst Morris Crisp:
Ashurst Morris Crisp (Martin Bell) was dealing with Ministry of Defence matters in 1985. His work was curtailed or halted, when hundreds of the Libyan Aviation students numbering 230, were deported by Mrs Thatcher’s Government in the wake of the Libyan bombing, and the shooting of Yvonne Fletcher by a person who was suspected of being a ‘Libyan.’ Colonel Gaddafi thereafter portrayed himself as Gaddafi Duck and it was acknowledged by President Ronald Macdonald, the President himself, Ronald Reagen, who was a Hollywood actor in his younger years.
1986. There is a breach on the registration of Westland Helicopters at Linklaters and Paines, which are destined for the Royal Navy and Nuclear Submarines. Michael Heseltine resigns from Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet, at about the same time as the Libyan student Salah Milud Ghriba of Tripoli, who spoke and does speak, four fluent languages including Arabic, Italian, English and Japanese, is asked to leave the U.K. and was engaged to the writer of this article.
1990. The Writer watches Godfather Part II[I] in ?Chiswick, before it comes out at the Cinema.
1985[6] Denton Hall and Burgin begin their investigations into the Corruption of the Pope of Rome and the Roman Catholic Church and Salah Ghriba says over the writer, in Italian: In the name of the father, and of the son and of the holy ghost amen: and then we listened to the Italian music of Umberto Tozzi of Italy, as she is a secretary at DHB and has signed the Official Secrets Act. She is followed into DHB in Chancery Lane by Pauline Jones, the Personnel Officer is Maureen Jones and their friend is Yvette Woolf. The writer is sacked after 11 weeks for failing to perform her duties as a legal secretary in that her WANG OIS/VS machine is not performing well and she is making spelling mistakes such as SOILICITORS. Etc. The writer is told that she cannot type, spell or perform her duties as a secretary and she is sacked, by Maureen Jones who asks her how long she has been employed with the firm of Denton Hall and Burgin and she replies, nine and a half weeks. Yvette Woolf tells her off premises at Epping Forest County Club whilst standing to one side of the dance floor, that she has forged the writer’s signature into Charlie Chan’s Nightclub in London on numerous occasions, where the writer met the CID Policeman, Ahmed Fahri, of Tottenham CID, who called himself Rocky, and he told the writer that she was Cinderella, and drank champagne from her shoe, as his friend Dave the second hand car salesman stood and laughed his head off in the wine bar, Harpers. Yvette Woolf of Denton Hall and Burgin then told the writer that she also thinks the writer is a schzophrenic or turning into one [it was not until 1987 that this actually took place with the mental health act sectioning by Clifford Chance Solicitors at Charter Nightingale Hospital in Lisson Grove London], but prior to that the writer had worked as a legal secretary in Entertainment law at Frere Cholmeley, where the writer worked for Elton John’s lawyer on occasion as a float secretary.

• Salvatore Ruggiero, a heroin trafficker and brother of Gambino crime family Capo Angelo Ruggiero, is killed in a plane crash.
• Salvatore Lamberti, a Sicilian mafiosi, emigrates to the United States from Sicily.
• January 28 - The Federal Bureau of Investigation is granted concurrent jurisdiction by the office of the Attorney General in matters involving the Controlled Substances Act.
• February 26 - Chicago mobster Frank Renella is sentenced to 7 years' imprisonment for violation of the Hobbs Act regarding extortion and jumping bail. Renella had previously been accused of involvement in the murder of local businessman Nick Velentzas, who had been threatened by Renella and his associates on numerous occasions regarding loansharking and protection payoffs.
• March 5 - Gambino crime family associates killed con artists Nicolina and Michael Lizak in retaliation for killing soldier Robert Russo.
• March 23 - Future pentito, Salvatore Contorno, is arrested in Rome where he had gone to prepare the killing of Giuseppe "Pippo" Calò, who Contorno held responsible for the murder of his boss Stefano Bontade. While in hiding from both the authorities and the Corleonesi, Contorno started to collaborate with the police. Police super-intendant Antonino "Ninni" Cassarà used Contorno to create a map of the families of the Palermo region and a report on their increasingly conflictual relations and involvement in narcotics (the so-called Greco+161 report on July 13, 1982).
• April 30 - Sicily's Communist Party chief Pio La Torre and his driver Rosario Di Salvo are killed by the Mafia. La Torre had proposed an Antimafia law that stipulated that being a member of the Mafia would be a specific criminal offence and enabled the seizure of properties of convicted mafiosi.
• May 1 - Carabinieri general Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa is appointed as prefect for Palermo to stop the violence of the Second Mafia War. He is killed the same year on September 3.
• June 16 - In Sicily, Catania mafioso Alfio Ferlito is killed in an ambush when he was escorted by the Carabinieri during a transfer between to prisons. Three policemen are killed as well. The killers were from Palermo and linked to the Corleonesi, to please their ally Nitto Santapaola - the Mafia boss of Catania.
• June 17 - Italian banker Roberto Calvi is murdered in London. In 1997, Italian prosecutors in Rome implicated a member of the Sicilian Mafia, Giuseppe Calò, in Calvi's murder, along with Flavio Carboni, a Sardinian businessman with wide ranging interests. Two other men, Ernesto Diotallevi (one of the leaders of the Banda della Magliana, a Roman Mafia-like organization) and former Mafia member turned informer Francesco Di Carlo, were also alleged to be involved in the killing. In July 1991 the Mafia pentito (a mafioso turned informer) Francesco Marino Mannoia claimed that Roberto Calvi had been killed because he had lost Mafia funds when the Banco Ambrosiano collapsed. According to Mannoia the killer was Francesco Di Carlo, a mafioso living in London at the time, and the order to kill Calvi had come from Mafia boss Giuseppe Calò and Licio Gelli, the head of the secret Italian masonic lodge Propaganda Due (P2). When Di Carlo became an informer in June 1996, he denied that he was the killer, but admitted that he had been approached by Calò to do the job. However, Di Carlo could not be reached in time, and when he later called Calò, the latter said that everything had been taken care of already. According to Di Carlo, the killers were Vincenzo Casillo and Sergio Vaccari, who belonged to the Camorra from Naples and have been killed since.
• July 4 - Anthony and John Romano are shot to death by the DeMeo Crew. The father and son duo are murdered for their involvement in the robbery of DeMeo Crew member Peter LaFroscia.[1]
• July 13 - Police super-intendant Antonino "Ninni" Cassarà releases his invetigative report on the Sicilian Mafia, partly based on the revelations of Salvatore Contorno. Contorno's revelations were the first time the authorities really learned of Michele Greco's high-ranking membership of the Mafia. Previously he had just been regarded as a rather secretive landowner with a suspiciously high-income, although he did come from a long line of mafiosi. Working closely with judge Giovanni Falcone, the police two months later unleash a dragnet roundup of 162 mafiosi wanted for drug trafficking and homicide.
• July 20 - Cleveland Family Boss James "Blackie" Licavoli is convicted under the RICO Act of illegal gambling, murder for hire, and conspiracy charges by a U.S. District Court in Cleveland, Ohio and sentenced to 17 years imprisonment.
• August 11 - Vincenzo Sinagra, a Sicilian mafia associate of the sadistic Corso dei Mille Clan capo Filippo Marchese and witness to countless murders in the "Death Chamber of Piazza Sant'Erasmo" is arrested.
• August 17 - Nicodemo Scarfo's bail is revoked by a U.S. District Court in Camden, New Jersey due to a prior conviction for possession of firearms by a convicted felon. Although remaining in custody, Scarfo was retained control of the Philadelphia crime syndicate through Underboss Salvatore "Chuckie" Merlino and Consigliere Nicholas "Nicky Buck" Piccolo.
• August 23 - Alphonse "Little Al" D'Arco is initiated as an official member, a "made guy", of the Lucchese crime family.
• September 3 - Carabinieri general Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa is murdered by the Mafia in the Via Carini in Palermo. The hit team was sent from Catania by Nitto Santapaola, an ally of the Corleonesi, who paid back the service for the killing of his rival Alfio Ferlito by the Corleonesi on June 16. Dalla Chiesa had just been appointed prefect of Sicily to end the violence that was the result of the Second Mafia War between rival Mafia families. In his last public interview it had become clear that Dalla Chiesa started to focus on the emerging role of the Catania Mafia. Swapping hit teams proved to be a successful way to distract police investigations.
• September 11 - In a reaction to the murder of Carabinieri general Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa on September 3 and Communist politician Pio La Torre on April 30, the Italian parliament passes the La Torre-Rognoni Anti-Mafia Law. The law stipulated that being a member of the Mafia would be a specific criminal offence and was used by judge Giovanni Falcone to prosecute the Sicilian Mafia in the Maxi Trial that started in 1986. The law had been proposed by La Torre.
• October 14 - The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) Program is officially formed.
• November 30 - Rosario Riccobono, the boss of Partanna Mondello, a suburb of Palermo, and eight of his men vanished without trace at the end of November 1982. Three of his associates were gunned down a few days later and his brother, Vito Riccobono, was found decapitated in his car. The Italian media blamed Tommaso Buscetta as being responsible for wiping out the Riccobono Family, as revenge for the slayings of Buscetta's two sons. In fact, Salvatore Riina, Riccobono's supposed ally in the Second Mafia War, had ordered the slaughter of Riccobono and his associates and relatives because they were no longer of any use by the time the Mafia War was ending with the victory of Riina and the Corleonesi. A number of informants have said that Pino Greco was the man who garrotted Riccobono and orchestrated the murders of a dozen of Riccobono's associates and relatives.
• December - Joey "The Clown" Lombardo is arrested and later convicted of attempting to bribe Nevada Sen. Howard Cannon.
• December 6 - After an extensive investigation by the Denver Division, Denver crime family Boss Eugene "Checkers" Smaldone, along with his Underboss brother,Clarence "Chauncey" Smaldone and Consigliere Paul "Fat Paul" Villano, is convicted for extortionate credit transactions, tax evasion, and conspiracy and sentenced to 10 year imprisonment.
• December 15 - Chicago insurance executive Allen M. Dorfman, reportedly associated to organized crime figures through the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Union, is convicted of attempted bribery by a U.S. District Court in Chicago, Illinois. Dorfman's conviction concludes the investigation regarding the attempted bribery of Nevada Senator Howard Cannon in regard to trucking industry deregulation.
• Sometime around the end of 1982, Sicilian mafioso Filippo Marchese is killed. He was in charge of what became known as the Room Of Death, a small apartment along the Piazza Sant Erasmo road. Victims who stood in the way of the Corleonesi of Totò Riina during the Second Mafia War were lured there to be murdered, usually by being garrotted. Their bodies were either dissolved in acid or chopped up and dumped out at sea. Marchese was also garrotted and dissolved in acid like so many of his own victims. He was so elusive that the authorities did not learn of his death until the late 1980s through an informant.

November 1987
The formulation of the third world debt structure through Midland Bank, now HSBC.
The collapse of Barings Bank (personal bank to HM The Queen) in 1995 and Nick Leeson's role in it, is one of the most spectacular debacles in modern financial history. How could one trader bring down the banking empire that had funded the Napoleonic Wars?
Curiosity, intrigue and sympathy have been the various reactions to this man's incredible life story. Following Barings' collapse, Nick Leeson was sentenced to six and half years in a gang-ridden Singaporean jail, in conditions that defy belief, while at the same time, his wife left him and he was diagnosed with colon cancer.
And Nick Leeson’s role in this debacle, was to sell off Barings bank through his employers, and it was sold off for £1.00 goodwill to ING BARINGS, through Dibb Lupton Broomhead in their offices at Dowgate Hill, London, the former home of Macfarlanes solicitors, through their lawyer, [Hazel Ryan of Dibb Lupton Alsop] the Moorgate lawyers near the Barbican.
The human rights lawyer, Stephen Pollard, of Payne Hicks Beach, who rides a motor bike, represented Nick Leeson and procured his release from the Singaporean jail where he lay incarcerated for many months. Stephen Pollard was the writer of this article’s boss at one time in 1985, and he taught her about Human Rights Law in the United Kingdom.
Upon the writer of this article removing herself to Toronto in Canada as a Legal Secretary, in December 1999, she found that ING Bank in Toronto took off in a very big way in Toronto in June of 2000, and she opened a bank account for herself with no money to deposit thereby.

The Financial Times reports that analysts believe that CIBC may be looking at further US subprime lending-related write-downs of some $1.97bn next year. The firm has already written down almost $1bn, more than any other Canadian bank so far.
Reuters reports that Deutsche Bank is said to be preparing to pay $866m to settle claims that its then CEO, Ralf Breuer, undermined German former media baron Leo Kirch's then empire when he made remarks in a 2002 Bloomberg TV interview. Kirch has always said that the remarks called into question the creditworthiness of his group, and helped trigger its collapse.
The Times reports that six firms have each advised on over 200 M&A deals so far this year - Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Citi and JPMorgan. Currently in top slot in the Thompson Financial league table is Goldman, which has advised on 203 deals with a rank value of some $814bn.
The Financial Times reports that Lehman Brothers is under threat of legal action from at least two Australian municipal councils who claim that they have suffered substantial losses after being sold Lehman-originated CDOs by the firm's Oz subsidiary Grange Securities.
The Sunday Telelgraph reports that ING has spend over $140m this season sponsoring Formula 1 - and says that it's money well spent.
Reuters reports that the US Securities and Exchange Commission has sued 2 two former Morgan Stanley financial advisers for allegedly defrauding 50 mutual funds companies 'by hiding certain hedge fund trades worth billions of dollars'. The alleged deception, which is said to have involved circumventing restrictions on market timing, took place between January 2002 and August 2003.
The Sunday Telegraph reports that Nomura is in the early stages of talks to takeover broking and corporate finance firm Collins Stewart, which has 750 staff globally. Any deal would probably be worth $1.5bn.
Bloomberg reports that Tudor Investment Corp's Raptor hedge fund faces client redemptions of over $1bn after losing around 8.5% this year, mostly on US equities.
Finally, Reuters reports that Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., Mizuho Corporate Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial are all said to have balked at the $5bn contribution required by the so-called SuperSIV, planned by Bank of America, Citi and JPMorgan Chase. All three Japanese banks are thought likely to insist on lower contributions if they are to sign up.

Gordon Brown under the Blair Government sells off Gold Bullion from the Bank of England and Crown. Is it to devalue the Sterling Currency and inflate the United States of America’s currency to bouy up American Reserves of Gold during the Iraq War for a specified short term period; thereby enforcing the European Monetary Union and their currency. This will cause the European Monetary Union to gain strenth and cause the UK Sterling to devalue, bringing the American Dollar up to its optimum level for the length of the Iraq War, and then plunge, and bring strength to the Canadian Dollar for a short time, and then the American Dollar and then Sterling at the end of the Iraq War.
Love to Gordon Brown and all the Banking Lawyers in the UK
Glod Bless the United Kingdom
Amen
