EVIL MEETS ON THE TARMAC

The Catholic Church and Satanism in the Vatican

OF THOSE that have accused the Vatican of being infiltrated by satanists, none has been as widely noticed as the late Malachi Martin. An expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls, he also wrote about such widely diverse topics as exorcism, Church history and modern geopolitics. None of his books have been so controversial — or so misunderstood or ignored by the mainstream press — as his works that deal with this ominous and sensitive topic.

From 1958 until 1964, Malachi Martin served in Rome as a Jesuit priest, where he was a close associate of, and carried out many sensitive missions for, the renowned Jesuit Cardinal Augustin Bea and Popes John XXIII and Paul VI. Released afterwards from his vows of poverty and obedience at his own request (but still a priest), he ultimately moved to New York and became a best-selling writer of fiction and non-fiction.

Martin had first made explicit reference to a diabolic rite held in Rome in his 1990 non-fiction best-seller about geopolitics and the Vatican, The Keys of This Blood, in which he wrote:

Most frighteningly for [Pope] John Paul [II], he had come up against the irremovable presence of a malign strength in his own Vatican and in certain bishops’ chanceries. It was what knowledgeable Churchmen called the ‘superforce.’ Rumors, always difficult to verify, tied its installation to the beginning of Pope Paul VI’s reign in 1963. Indeed Paul had alluded somberly to ‘the smoke of Satan which has entered the Sanctuary’. . . an oblique reference to an enthronement ceremony by Satanists in the Vatican. Besides, the incidence of Satanic pedophilia — rites and practices — was already documented among certain bishops and priests as widely dispersed as Turin, in Italy, and South Carolina, in the United States. The cultic acts of Satanic pedophilia are considered by professionals to be the culmination of the Fallen Archangel’s rites.

unique headlight configuration proves

It was no “accident!”

Laura Welch Bush, driving east on Farm Road 868, was approaching the only highway in town on a clear night with a bright moon. She lived only a couple of miles away and had been through this particular intersection hundreds of times in the years her family had lived in Midland, Texas. On her left Laura Bush could see her boyfriend’s car approaching the intersection for the entire time he turned off of Solomon Lane, where he lived, and onto the highway. She knew it was her boyfriend’s car driving south, because of the unique headlight configuration of his 1962 Corvair Sedan. Laura Bush knew her boyfriend, she knew his home, and she knew his car--the headlights are low slung and a full 9-inches narrower than any other car on the road. The entire profile of the car is small and easy to distinguish anytime, day or night.

Michael Dutton Douglas, 17, had driven only half a mile before America’s Black Widow of the Night deliberately ran the stop sign at high speed, striking the small car with such ferocity that her boyfriend was ejected from the car and into the dirt. Laura Bush, “America’s First Murderess of the Land,” had literally ripped a hole in her boyfriend’s neck. Michael lay there for eight minutes staring at Laura and her once loving arms, while Laura stared back wondering, “Is the head dead yet?” “No child left behind,” unless it is Michael Dutton Douglas gasping in the dirt. To date, there has never been an adjudication of this wanton murder, even though there is no Statute of Limitations on murder. Laura and her girlfriend had conspired to murder Michael Dutton Douglas and been laying-in-wait for his car.

INDICT LAURA BUSH!

A premeditated, child torture butcher--who perpetrated her act during the commission of two other crimes--should not be permitted unsupervised access to the President of the United States.

CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT

THE LIES OF LAURA BUSH

Laura Bush has spent a lifetime lying about deliberately murdering her boyfriend with malice aforethought.

Laura’s Litany of Lies #1: Laura Bush for years insisted that she was not driving. No, Laura, we have the police report.

Laura’s Litany of Lies #2: Laura Bush said that it was raining and slick. No, Laura, the weather was dry and clear. We have the police report.

Laura’s Litany of Lies #3: Laura Bush said that her boyfriend was riding in an open jeep. No, Laura, it was a 1962 Corvair Sedan. We have the police report.

Laura’s Litany of Lies #4: Laura Bush said that Michael Douglas was not her boyfriend. No, Laura, the District Attorney said that Michael Dutton Douglas was your boyfriend when he released the police report!

Laura’s Litany of Lies #5: Laura Bush said that she did not know who her murder victim was until she got to the hospital. Michael Dutton Douglas’ father was following his car and was on the scene seconds after the “accident.” Laura Bush knew her boyfriend, she knew her boyfriend’s car, and she knew his father.

Laura’s Litany of Lies #6: Laura Bush said that she was sorry. While she did stay home from school for several weeks, it certainly hasn’t kept her from any of the class reunions! Was it murdering her boyfriend, or claiming to be sorry, that made her The Perfect Wife?

HEARD IN MIDLAND

“Laura Bush thought that she was pregnant by her boyfriend Michael Dutton Douglas. When she told him, instead of agreeing to marry her, Douglas had instead broken up with her.” Perhaps she mulled over murder after reading this article in the local paper

Laura Bush, Midland’s Emissary of Death, had the means, the opportunity, AND the motive!

Private Contractors that routinely torture Iraqi prisoners are not subject to arrest or court martial by the coalition command. The military leaves it up to the companies to take disciplinary action. These contractors operate directly under Mossad intelligence and follow their policies on torture. The soldiers that are up for court martial have been made to be accomplises but are not the main culprits in the scandal. The private contractors working for the Mossad and the Mossad 'advisors' should also be on trial along with the leaders of the military at the highest level, including the Commander and Chief. --Webber

Pictures from an Inquisition by Jeff Sharlet - A crucial element of torture is humiliation. The fact of the victim's powerlessness must be impressed upon his psyche. Laughter is an effective tool, as demonstrated by this Inquisitor, 21-year-old Private Lynndie England, [Pictured above] of Ft. Ashby, W. Virginia. And genitals are often the focus of attention. Private England, since transferred back to the U.S., where she is expecting the child of Specialist Charles W. Graner (who also appears in the pictures), is here forcing the prisoners to masturbate -- a tactic proposed by her superiors in Military Intelligence to insult the prisoner's Islamic sensibilities and thus break his will through sexual shame.
