#THE VATICAN, US KNIGHTS OF MALTA

The trail from the Vatican Bank > Cardinal Angelo Becciu >
Order of Malta >
Alina Habba, Esq. FATHER IS Chancellor of the US Knights of Malta

A Vatican court sentenced Italian Cardinal Angelo Becciu to five-and-a-half years in jail for financial crimes as part of a trial that exposed infighting and intrigue in the highest echelons of the Vatican.

GUILTY OF EMBELLZELMENT
Cardinal Angelo Becciu resigns

Archbishop Angelo Becciu, special delegate to the Order of Malta.
The idea that the Sovereign Military Order of Malta would lose its religious character is out of the question as its dual mission to defend the faith and serve the poor cannot be separated, Pope Francis’ special delegate to the ancient chivalric institution has said.
In May 5 comments to the Register following last week’s election of Fra’ Giacomo Dalla Torre del Tempio di Sanguinetto as the Order’s new interim leader, Archbishop Angelo Becciu said “for a thousand years the Order of Malta has been considered ‘religious’” and so the idea it “would not be religious is unthinkable.”

Alina Habba, Esq. (@alina_habba) It’s all about her Daddy who is Chancellor of the US Knights of Malta, a christofascist arm of the Catholic Church run by the Knights of Malta, from the 15th century through to the late 18th century, the Grand Master had the status of a prince of the Catholic Church.

The Vatican has it’s own bank
The Vatican bank was founded in 1942 by Pope Pius XII to manage assets destined for religious or charitable works. Located in a tower just inside the gates of Vatican City, it isn’t open to the public — only to Vatican employees, religious orders and diplomats accredited to the Holy See.
Based in Vatican City, has no other branches, operates as an offshore institution outside EU rules.

“STAND TOGETHER MUSIC” “FIRE” “SPIN”  “CHARLES KOCH”

Revealed: how top pop stars are used to ‘launder the reputation’ of Koch family
Stand Together Music, part of rightwing billionaire Charles Koch’s advocacy network, collaborates with Pitbull, Machine Gun Kelly and others
Last September, the rapper Killer Mike was DJing hip-hop classics like Snoop Dogg’s Ain’t No Fun at a music festival afterparty in Louisville, Kentucky. “The inspiration for the night’s set is freedom of speech, so say what the fuck you want!” he told a crowd of hundreds. Killer Mike, half of the duo Run the Jewels, is known for speaking out against police brutality and racial injustice, as well as campaigning for Bernie Sanders.
But this night’s set was co-sponsored by Stand Together Music, an organization backed by the libertarian billionaire Charles Koch, who made his fortune in fossil fuels. Other sponsors of the party included the free-speech group Fire (which has received millions of dollars in contributions from the Charles G Koch charitable foundation), as well as the music outlet Spin, an official partner of Stand Together Music.

According to an exposé by Mary Trump, In 2018, Speaker Mike Johnson received illegal campaign contributions from a company owned by Russians. “American Ethane,” a company that was 88 percent owned by three Russian nationals: Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev gave Johnson at least three checks for $6,100, that he was forced to return. She notes that since, Johnson has consistently voted against Ukraine and for Russian interests.

Warning regarding use of Microsoft email (Outlook, etc.)
I’m seeing increasing cases of Microsoft behaving badly with inbound email, despite proper use of DKIM, SPF, etc. I see items (including not only mailing list email but individual items) that are sitting in my outbound queues all day long — or even longer, and I’m watching now to see if many never make it through. Typical errors are “server busy, try again later” again, and again, again.
I urge that if you or your organization are using Microsoft email services in any way, that you verify that you are not losing inbound email, and perhaps consider a transition to a reliable email service. ~ ANON

CRYPTO

CAN TRADITIONAL FINANCE SHOW PROOF OF RESERVES?
SEC actually out here saying that Proof Of Reserves are bullshit (always has been) pretty much putting every stable coin and exchange on blast.
Pretty sure that’s the ticking time bomb point of our banking system.

SEC — Exercise Caution with Crypto Asset Securities: Investor Alert
March 23, 2023
https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-and-bulletins/exercise-caution-crypto-asset-securities-investor-alert

<snip>
Proof of Reserves is a term crypto asset entities, including trading platforms and/or entities that issue crypto assets securities, use to describe a voluntary method for offering evidence that in the aggregate an entity has sufficient reserve assets to cover what is held for customers and/or accounts at a given point in time. Crypto asset entities may be offering these types of assessments as a way to satisfy customers that their funds are safe and available upon demand.  However, these types of services may not provide any meaningful assurance that these entities hold adequate assets to back their customers’ balances.  Further, crypto asset entities might use these in lieu of audited financial statements in order to obscure and confuse customers about the safety of their assets.  For example, a proof of reserves typically:

  • may only provide a snapshot of what is, for example, held by an entity in certain wallets or accounts, or backing customer assets as of a point-in-time;
  • may not disclose management’s activities during the period between the snapshots (for example, use of customer crypto assets in crypto asset lending or other activities); 
  • does not tell customers the whole story about the entity’s liabilities and, for example, whether the customer has to “stand in line” behind other creditors if the entity fails; and
  • may not offer protection against the entity moving customer assets shortly after a proof of reserves is completed.

In addition, a proof of reserves is not as rigorous, or as comprehensive, as a financial statement audit and may not provide any level of assurance.  For example, audited financial statements typically require audits of a complete set of financial statements performed by a registered public accounting firm in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards.  With so-called proof of reserves, there are no specific audit requirements for the engagement or the information reported, allowing an entity full discretion to manage the terms of the engagement.  For example:

  • the extent and frequency of assessments performed around customer assets;
  • the determination of the reserves (for example, which wallets and accounts are examined as part of the assessment);
  • the level of assurance provided (for example, reasonable, limited, or no assurance) and the standards applied;  
  • the type of third-party assurance provider engaged (i.e., accountant or non-accountant assurance providers, affiliated or independent); and 
  • whether the results are made public, including the extent and format of the information shared. 

Investors should be aware that this level of management discretion undermines any suggestion that a proof of reserves offers protections similar to a financial statement audit.  In sum, investors should exercise extreme caution when relying on proof of reserves to conclude that a crypto asset entity has sufficient reserve assets to meet customer liabilities.

EPSTEIN

“There are now 2 books & an award-winning series in the Miami Herald that remove any doubt that the DOJ was corrupted in its initial handling of the Epstein case…why is the U.S. Virgin Islands bringing these new charges against JPMorgan Chase instead of the DOJ?”

Jeffrey Epstein Accuser Names Powerful Men in Alleged Sex Ring
In newly unsealed documents,
“Virginia Giuffre, who says that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her to powerful people for erotic massages and sex, claimed in depositions in 2016 that Maxwell directed her to have sex with former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson…” Britain’s Prince Andrew (whom she has accused before), wealthy financier Glenn Dubin, former senator George Mitchell, now-deceased MIT scientist Marvin Minsky, and modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, as well as “another prince,” a “foreign president,” a well-known prime minister” and the owner of a “large hotel chain” in France.

“since Epstein’s arrest in July, many of these older articles on Epstein and Maxwell, as well as those focusing on the Epstein-Prince Andrew relationship, have disappeared from the archives of several prominent U.K. media outlets that reported on these relationships years ago.”

When the Palm Beach police executed a warrant on Epstein’s home in 2006, they found hidden cameras. An Epstein victim, Maria Farmer, told CBS News that the bathrooms and bedrooms in Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion were wired for extensive surveillance by “tiny pinhole cameras.”

April 5, 2003 The Dish On Dinner
What a guestlist at Jeff Epstein’s mansion: Sergey Brin, Blaine, Trump, Wexner, a Clinton aide, and a “disgraced British Cabinet minister”!
Note also that the “Secret Service would have appreciated Epstein’s numerous security cameras.”

JPMorgan Chase is prepared to pay $290 million in a settlement with victims of the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, state officials and the FBI have discredited rumors that this matter was in any way related to the family of Louisiana Senator Edwin Tuttle.

TETHER

TETHER’S SECRET AGENT
The secretive Christopher Harborne has a mysterious past, vast wealth, and deep political connections. Is he also the brains behind the world’s largest stablecoin?
While figures like Paolo Ardoino and Giancarlo Devasini get credit for running the massive Tether stablecoin, one major shareholder hasn’t gotten nearly as much attention. His name is Christopher Charles Sherriff Harborne, AKA Chakrit Sakunkrit, a British-Thai dual citizen. His son is also involved William Marcus Sherriff Harborne.

BoJo donor Christopher Harborne named as intermediary in Tether fraud claims
Christopher Harborne tied to Tether’s alleged fraud
Under the pseudonym Chakrit Sakunkrit, Harborne was and could still be a major shareholder of Digfinex, the parent company of Tether and Bitfinex. Silvergate closed its accounts with Tether and Bitfinex in 2018, and denied a request to reopen them that fall. First reported by the WSJ, Harborne then applied for an account at Signature through his aviation fuel brokerage AML Global. In the application, Thailand-based Harborne alleged he would primarily use the account to trade crypto on exchange Kraken to hedge currency exposure. The fact that he operated under a pseudonym that owned 12% of Tether and Bitfinex (and therefore would have been familiar to Signature) was never mentioned.

Christopher Charles Sherriff Harborne (born December 1962) is a British businessman and technology investor based in Thailand. A University of Cambridge and INSEAD graduate, his donations have enabled the founding of INSEAD San Francisco and the creation of a blockchain research fund. He has also donated to Britain’s Conservative Party and more recently has been a major donor to Britain’s Brexit Party, donating more than £6 million in 2019.[1] He also holds Thai citizenship under the name Chakrit Sakunkrit.

Dear Democrats: Stop talking about Biden’s age and focus on his accomplishments
President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party are in a strong position heading into 2024. Let’s review, shall we?
The unemployment rate stands at 3.4 percent — the lowest it’s been in 54 years. Inflation is moderating. For all the doomsday predictions of a hard landing after the pandemic, our economy is resilient and vigorous as a result of the aggressive investments made by the Biden Administration’s American Rescue Plan.
Drawing on his decades of experience, Biden deftly navigated a 50-50 Senate to pass a historic bipartisan infrastructure bill, generational investments in clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing, the first gun safety law in almost 30 years, a bill codifying same-sex marriage, a bill aiding veterans who suffered health effects from burn pits and an electoral reform to prevent a repeat of Trump’s attempt to use Congress to undermine the election. And that’s all without mentioning the nomination and confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to ever sit on the Supreme Court. On the international stage, Biden had the courage to end the longest war in U.S. history and to stand up to Vladimir Putin in the face of Russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine.

Trump Allies Are Creating an Army of Loyalists to Implement His Every Whim. Donald Trump’s allies have a dangerous plan to make sure he can do whatever he wants as president.

This organized attempt by the Trump campaign to intimidate media critical of him is right out of the Nazi playbook. Hitler’s rise to power utilized his Propaganda Ministry led by Joseph Goebbels to quickly gain and exert control over the news media, arts, and information in Nazi Germany. We should pay attention. Goebbels looks like Stephen Miller.

MAN’S PLACE ON EARTH

The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of ​​Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back. He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something.

The animal dove and Enzo followed. At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives. Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an “almost human cry” (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)

The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant! The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”
