Obama Admin Moves Vatican Embassy, Citing Security Concerns

The Obama administration has decided to shut down the free-standing American embassy to the Holy See. The offices for the Ambassador to the Vatican will be moved onto the grounds of the larger American embassy to Italy, in a separate building.

The move is being justified as a result of the security reviews that followed the attacks on our embassy in Benghazi last year but five former American envoys are strenuously objecting, reports John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter :
Justified primarily on the grounds of enhanced security, the move is described by former U.S. Ambassador James Nicholson, who's also a former Secretary of Veterans Affairs in the Bush administration and a former chair of the Republican National Committee, as a "massive downgrade" in U.S./Vatican ties.

"It's turning this embassy into a stepchild of the embassy to Italy," Nicholson said.

"The Holy See is a pivot point for international affairs and a major listening post for the United States," he said, "and to shoehorn [the U.S. delegation] into an office annex inside another embassy is an insult to American Catholics and to the Vatican."

Nicholson, who spoke in an interview Wednesday with NCR, joins former Bush envoys Francis Rooney and Mary Ann Glendon as well as Raymond Flynn, the first Clinton ambassador, and Thomas Melady, who served the first President Bush, in objecting.

Nicholson called the security argument a "smokescreen."

"That's like saying people get killed on highways because they drive cars on them," he said. "We're not a pauper nation ... if we want to secure an embassy, we certainly can." He said protection at the current location is "state of the art."

Flynn described the move as part of broader secular hostility to religious groups, the Catholic church in particular.

"It's not just those who bomb churches and kill Catholics in the Middle East who are our antagonists, but it's also those who restrict our religious freedoms and want to close down our embassy to the Holy See," Flynn told NCR.

Flynn said he can't see any "diplomatic or political benefit to the United States" from the relocation and called it "shortsighted."

CatholicVote considers the move to be "an unmistakable slap in the face."

Moving our Ambassador to the Vatican inside of our Italian Embassy sends a clear message: the diplomatic post doesn’t matter much to the United States. 

Former Vatican Ambassador James Nicholson told Catholic Vote:
"It's another manifestation of the antipathy of this administration both to Catholics and to the Vatican – and to Christians in the Middle East. This is a key post for intermediation in so many sovereignties but particularly in the Middle East. This is anything but a good time to diminish the stature of this post. To diminish the stature of this post is to diminish its influence."

"The State Department has for a long time wanted to do this. It came up when I was an ambassador. I explained the folly of this and it went away. But now they seem determined to do this. The perception is [with this action] that the United States is showing a lack of appreciation for the relevance of its diplomatic partner in the Vatican."

It looks to some as though the Obama administration is trying to diminish and discredit the Vatican’s role in the world because it's  pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious freedom values  is at odds with the Regime's pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage stance.
But the current U.S. Ambassador Ken Hackett said, "I see no diminishing in the importance of the relationship at all."

The Obama administration, in what’s been called an egregious slap in the face to the Vatican, has moved to shut down the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See — a free-standing facility — and relocate offices onto the grounds of the larger American Embassy in Italy.

The new offices will be in a separate building on the property, Breitbart reported.

And while U.S. officials are touting the relocation as a security measure that’s a cautionary reaction to last year’s attacks on America's facility in Benghazi, several former American envoys are raising the red flag.

It’s a “massive downgrade of U.S.-Vatican ties,” said former U.S. Ambassador James Nicholson in the National Catholic Reporter. “It’s turning this embassy into a stepchild of the embassy to Italy. The Holy See is a pivot point for international affairs and a major listening post for the United States, and … [it’s] an insult to American Catholics and to the Vatican.”

Mr. Nicholson — whose views were echoed by former envoys Francis Rooney, Mary Ann Glendon, Raymond Flynn and Thomas Melady — also called the justification for closing the existing facility a “smokescreen,” Breitbart reported.

“That’s like saying people get killed on highways because they drive cars on them,” he said in the report. “We’re not a pauper nation … if we want to secure an embassy, we certainly can.”

Moreover, the existing facility has “state of the art” security, he said.

Mr. Flynn, meanwhile, said the administration’s announcement reflects a hostility toward the Catholic Church.

“It’s not just those who bomb churches and kill Catholics in the Middle East who are our antagonists, but it’s also those who restrict our religious freedoms and want to close down our embassy to the Holy See,” he said in the National Catholic Reporter. “[There’s no] diplomatic or political benefit to the United States” from the relocation at all, he added.

Catholic Vote, a publication for the Church community, called the move “an unmistakable slap in the face” that clearly communicates that the United States cares little for the diplomatic facility.

And Mr. Nicholson went on, as Breitbart reported: “It’s another manifestation of the antipathy of this administration both to Catholics and to the Vatican — and to Christians in the Middle East. This is a key post for intermediation in so many sovereignties but particularly in the Middle East. This is anything but a good time to diminish the stature of this post. To diminish the stature of this post is to diminish its influence.”

THE MURDER OF GENERAL PATTON



by Mujahid Kamran
 
General Patton, after whom the Patton tank is named, was the most outstanding, the most daring, the most original and the most honest allied General during World War II. On account of his fiery integrity, brilliance, and exceptional bravery, lesser generals like Eisenhower, even though they were senior to him, feared General Patton.  His successes had made him a legend during his lifetime.  It is now known that General Patton was murdered on the express orders of the chief of OSS – Office of Strategic Services, the precursor of CIA – General “Wild Bill” Donovan. The British tutored and controlled the OSS through him and Britain was controlled by the “High Cabal”,(Jesuits) a term used by Churchill during World War II. The “High Cabal”(Jesuits) is also known as the One World cabal(Vatican) or the Elite in literature. The “High Cabal”(Jesuits) of Churchill was controlled by the Rothschild's(Vatican Bankers) because they controlled Britain’s money line.  Donovan was thus an agent of the Elite, the One World cabal of international bankers, and their allies.

The murder of General Patton was made to look like an accident. General Patton’s death, attributed to an “embolism”, was announced on December 21, 1945. He had met the “accident” on December 9, 1945. It is said that he had suffered a broken neck in the accident but was reported to have recovered and was to be flown to the US on December 22, 1945. The murder of General Patton, which touches the hearts of even non Americans 65 years later, also establishes that the Elite and its stooges have absolutely no loyalty to any country and that their ruthlessness, planning, cohesion, penetration, anonymity and cunning makes them the most dangerous and persistent foe of humanity. Betrayal and treachery is not unique to developing societies – US history is replete with the most sordid and supremely concealed betrayals that are never revealed or taught in highly controlled US academic institutions. “Democratic” USA was always an insidiously and increasingly controlled state – it is now, for all practical purposes, a totalitarian state and the fig leaf is gone. It is most likely that other “Wild Bills” adorn the US military and intelligence leadership of today, as future historians will establish. And then there is a battery of court historians who subtly, and not so subtly, try to plant disinformation in books, newspaper articles and articles on the internet.

That General Patton was killed is now fairly well established. There had always been a suspicion that he was murdered, but a book “Target: Patton: The Plot to Assassinate General George S. Patton”, published in 2008, reveals this with hardly a doubt. Interestingly Wilcox’s book was greeted with silence by the US media. The Western Australian newspaper published an article on the book on December 22, 2008 on page 16! On December 25th Bob Patterson wrote for OpEdNews: “Two days after the article appeared, a search of Google-news provided several suggested links to other stories on the same topic, but they were for sources outside (italics added) the United States…. Why then isn’t this story being reported by the Huffington Post and /or New York Times so that a Google-news search can prove that it isn’t up to a blogging columnist in Australia to bring this newsworthy book to the attention of an American website’s audience? Could it be that the managing editors of the most influential newspapers have suffered a plague of simultaneous misjudgment or what? …Bill O’ Rielly will continue to criticize New York Times and the stories it runs, but it seems very unlikely he will plug this column and this website.” So much for the integrity of the mainstream US media, a propaganda organ of the Elite.

The author Robert Wilcox was able to repeatedly interview an OSS agent, a decorated marksman named Douglass Bazata, who admitted to having arranged the “accident”. In this accident no one except General Patton was hurt, and once the accident had taken place, Bazata claimed to have shot General Patton with a neck breaking low velocity projectile. Bazata passed away in 1999. According to Bazata the job was finished by the Soviet NKVD (the precursor of KGB) while Patton was in hospital. Whether it was the OSS, or the OSS-NKVD acting jointly that completed the murder of Gen. Patton as Wilcox indicates, the fact is, as we point out, both, the US and the Soviet Union, were controlled by the same Elite. It was the Elite that wanted to kill Patton.

Bazata told Wilcox that Donovan had told him that he had clearance from his superiors about the mission. Bazata also told an interviewer for the magazine The Spotlight that Donovan used to get his orders directly from the President and therefore he understood that Patton’s murder had the approval of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR). “Since Donovan was directly responsible to the President …I assumed…[FDR] knew and had authorized the action.” He told the interviewer “They thought Patton disobedient, disruptive, and uncontrollable and were going to stop him with or without my help.” That FDR worked for the Elite is something that is known among writers who deal with such matters. Eustace Mullins and Anthony Sutton in particular have revealed devastating facts about FDR’s corrupt collusion with the bankers.

In a story of December 20, 2009, a Sunday Telegraph reporter quotes Wilcox as having said that he believed that Bazata was a “sterling guy” and that Bazata “was struggling with himself, all these killings he had done. He confessed to me that he had caused the accident, that he was ordered to do so by Wild Bill Donovan.” That Bazata had inner conflicts is also indicated by his diaries. He writes: “Why am I so bad? …None know my inner struggles, the restless nites – not even my wife…I am plagued by doubts between the so-called right and so-called wrong… I have no confidant save my God.” No wonder in 1979 Bazata stood before an audience of 450 or so ex intelligence agents in a gathering at Hilton Hotel Washington D.C., to announce that he had been entrusted with the job to kill Patton by OSS Chief Donovan. He was, according to his dairies, and according to Wilcox, angry with Donovan, who, in his view, had betrayed him with false promises. He was angry that he was not even allowed to work for the CIA. On the surface of it, this is very surprising but in view of the fact that he was involved in and aware of a great crime committed at Donovan’s behest, he had to be kept at a distance, lest the knowledge be passed on to more workers of the agencies bringing Donovan and his masters in the Elite in criminal limelight. It might have led to patriotic agents initiating a complete unmasking of the intrigue that led to Patton’s death. The Elite always strives to conceal because it is guilty of horrific crimes.

In fact it was in 1972 that Bazata had revealed to a British born writer Joy Billington, on condition that she would not publish it, his involvement in the Patton murder. Billington was doing a story on his art – Bazata paradoxically was an excellent artist who had had solo exhibitions with personalities like Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duchess of Windsor. Joy Billington’s story on Bazata’s artistic work appeared in the Star-News of 17th September 1972. She was later to tell Wilcox that she could hardly believe her ears when Bazata mentioned his involvement in Patton’s murder. When, in 1979, Bazata went public on the issue, he actually did so by managing to get Billington at the Hilton Hotel gathering in Washington D.C. He then made her ask him a question about the Patton murder. Bazata’s word for word statement made at the Hilton Hotel goes as follows:

“For diverse political reasons, many extremely high-ranking persons hated Patton. I know who killed him for I was the one who was hired to do it. Ten thousand dollars. General William J. ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan himself, Director of OSS, entrusted me with the mission. I set up the ‘accident’. Since he didn’t die in the accident, he was kept in isolation in the hospital, where he was killed with a cyanide injection.”

This story was a bombshell that was completely ignored by the mainstream media. Why? The complete silence with which the mainstream media dealt with this bombshell of a story is very intriguing, to say the least. In an obituary published a month or so after his death in 1999, the New York Times mentioned that Bazata was the son of a Catholic clergyman. This is confirmed by Wilcox who also mentions that Bazata’s grandfather had emigrated from Czechoslovakia. However at numerous places on the internet it has been stated that Bazata was a Lebanese Jew. Why? The New York Times story failed to mention Bazata’s highly newsworthy claim that he was involved in the murder of General Patton. This omission is highly significant since Bazata’s claim to fame rests on his penitent confession about Patton’s murder. Did New York Times publish obituaries of all OSS agents and if not why did Bazata deserve that ‘honor’? Or, was the Elite carrying on its media tradition of honoring only those who unscrupulously serve its interests?

Wilcox had a series of interviews with Bazata. Further, Bazata, who at one time wanted to write his biography, handed over to him his private and highly confidential diaries that he had maintained – these were about forty notebooks – “ledgers” as Wilcox calls them. When Wilcox cross-checked what Bazata had told him about his own past and what was mentioned in the diaries, with the available archival records he found that Bazata was indeed being truthful. In fact, for his interview with The Spotlight in 1979, Bazata passed the lie detector test. Bazata was indeed an OSS assassin and was a highly decorated officer who had carried out numerous assassinations.

Not relying merely on Bazata’s confession and diaries, the author has collected other circumstantial evidence supporting the contention that Patton was indeed assassinated. He also interviewed a counter intelligence agent Stephen J. Skubik who stated that he repeatedly informed Donovan of a threat to Patton’s life. In fact Skubik’s family has set up a website where a privately published book authored by Skubik can be found. The book is titled: Death : The Murder of General Patton. Skubik’s daughter states that her father had told her that “the OSS under Bill Donovan, actively ignored credible threats against Patton’s life. My dad used to refer to Bill Donovan as ‘that son of a [censored]’, for his role in Patton’s death.” Wilcox has pointed out that instead of being grateful to him for providing valuable information about a threat to Patton’s life, Donovan had Skubik jailed. When Patton was murdered Skubik had to flee for his life and stayed underground for five years in USA.

Interestingly an article on Wilcox’s book in the Daily Telegraph, perhaps the only article on the book in a major newspaper (but still outside the US), merely states that Skubik was sent back to US by Donovan when he informed him of the threat to Patton’s life. Donovan did not control Skubik who worked, not for OSS, but for CIC (counter-intelligence corps). But Donovan was extremely angry each time Skubik brought up the threat to Patton’s life. This anger is inexplicable unless Donovan felt threatened in some way.

Skubik has given an interesting detail. He writes: “I have spoken to Bert Goldstein, one of Patton’s bodyguards during that time. Bert told me that Patton’s life was threatened, that he was vulnerable to the ever present danger. Bert states, that had the bodyguards not been removed Patton would not have been murdered. He is convinced that his favorite general was murdered.” So why the body guards were removed when it was known that his life was in danger? When Kennedy was murdered his body guards, the “human shields” were withdrawn at the very moment his car started rolling.
All files pertaining to on the scene investigations have disappeared. Wilcox has pointed out that at least five crucial documents have been removed from the files pertaining to Patton’s accident. He remarks that if it were one or two files one could accept that they had been misplaced. He writes: “All such primary, close-to-the-crash documents have vanished. One or two being lost or misplaced is understandable. But five? That’s a cover up. They ‘ve been removed – except for quoted bits and pieces that have survived as parts of other documents.”

As if the removal of documents was not enough, the car at display in the Patton museum at Fort Knox, in which Patton was supposed to have met the accident, is not the actual car. This was established by the author Wilcox through the help of a Detroit Cadillac expert. Wilcox states: “After his examination he told me the Cadillac at Fort Knox was not a 1938, but a doctored 1939. Among other incriminating details, he showed me where the car’s hard to find vehicle identification number (VIN) had been crudely filed off the metal chassis. Every vehicle has a VIN so it can be traced or verified for potential buyers. The museum wasn’t aware of the fraud until we informed them of our findings. So if the museum’s car wasn’t the Cadillac in which Patton was injured, where then was that car? I believe it disposed of in an effort to destroy evidence.” Why were the documents removed and why has not the actual car been put on display? What is it that the establishment wishes to conceal? It is also interesting to note that according to Wilcox “Patton’s driver, who couldn’t avoid the crash would later privately tell his son that the truck had been waiting for them on the side of the road as they ‘d started up from a railroad track stop.”

It is odd that although the accident took place at a rather isolated place away from populated areas, a large number of apparently military personnel appeared out of nowhere. Wilcox writes in an article dated December 21, 2010: “Although the crash occurred on a quiet no-work Sunday morning, a large crowd of mostly military personnel quickly descended on the scene. These included: a brigadier general accompanied by a major; two sets of military police who, it is written, made official reports; a mysterious “Lt. Valandingham” who appears to have been a clandestine; a lone provost marshal, and various groups of helpers, all military, including a set of medical officers with an ambulance whose officer in charge opted for the lengthier trip to Heidelberg than to nearby Mannheim.”

The truck driver Thompson was whisked away to England for four days before being brought back to Germany. Why? The excuse provided is lame – they took him away to prevent him from being attacked by those who loved Patton. But Patton died 12 days after the accident. So the driver was taken away and then brought back well before Patton died! Was he briefed or debriefed in England? Why England? Why not in some safe place in Germany or in some part of Europe? Thompson’s wife told Wilcox that he “always felt like a murderer.” Remarkably, Wilcox was able to get his hands on a scrapbook maintained by Thompson. The scrapbook contained clippings and included a clipping of Bazata’s 1979 claim that Patton was murdered. Why did Thompson not deny this when he was himself driving the truck that hit Patton’s car? A family member, wife of Thompson’s stepson, was present when Thompson died in 1994. She said: “It was a short illness. For some reason the doctors could not determine what was wrong with him. He had a lot of pain in his stomach. They were running tests and such. The day he died he suffered terribly.” So Thompson died a painful death after a brief illness the cause of which remained undetermined!

Then there is the mystery of Joe Scruce (written incorrectly, as Wilcox points out, as Spruce). Scruce was driving behind Patton carrying guns for hunting and knew the destination where they were headed - Patton’s driver was not familiar with the destination. Just before the accident Scruce moved ahead of Patton’s car. He never returned to the scene of the accident and simply disappeared. Why? Scruce’s daughter, who was very young when he died, talked to Wilcox. He writes: “…because of certain other things that she knew about him, she said she became worried that her father may indeed have been involved in a plot to kill Patton, if only peripherally.” She was so scared that she asked Wilcox not to use her name in the book!

Scruce’s wife wanted to have a party for his 51st birthday on March 11, 1952. When she told him so, he became deeply perturbed and told her firmly: “No party. I won’t live to see it.” So there was no party. Scruce was a very fit person and in his entire service record there was only one day off. He could “run miles without even panting.” He told his wife suddenly that he could not feel anything in his left body and then began hemorrhaging profusely. He bled so much that blood was gushing forth. The ambulance took 45 minutes to come! Wilcox writes (italics added): “Army doctors later told her he had suffered a brain aneurism – a burst blood vessel. Symptoms include a sudden, severe headache, which he did not have, but sometimes paralysis on one side of the body, which he did. Such gushing of blood however, I could not find in any description of the illness. As in Patton’s death there was no autopsy.” So Scruce died a very mysterious death in 1952. Mystery compounds mystery!

Mullins has stated that a few months before he was killed, General Patton’s driver of five years, Master Sergeant John L Mims, was transferred. A day before Patton was to return to USA he was “asked by Major General Gay to accompany him on an excursion of a few hours.” What or who prompted General Gay to ask General Patton for a surprising excursion, a hunting trip, just a day before Patton’s departure for the US is unknown. Whether these questions were asked of General Gay is also unknown. What was the background and career trajectory of Major General Gay is also something not dealt with by historians. Mullins writes:

“At 11.45 a.m., in clear weather and a straight stretch of road, the driver of a GMC military truck turned his vehicle directly into the side of the 1938 Cadillac 75 special limousine in which Patton was being driven. Patton was the only person injured.”

Mullins also emphasizes:

“Patton was a vigorous sixty years old with enormous reserves of energy, who seldom needed more than a couple of hours sleep at night. Not only did the US Army make no investigation into the ‘accident’ which had put him into the hospital, but no questions were raised about his ‘embolism’. On previous occasions when attempts were made to kill him, no investigations were made, despite the fact that he was one of the most popular and most powerful figures in American history.”

In his diary Patton had noted that on one occasion an RAF Spitfire attacked his private plane in an attempt to shoot it down but fortunately crashed after missing. He also mentioned that while his plane was being attacked he saw another four planes hovering overhead. Mullins writes: “The story was later put out that a Polish flyer had been piloting the Spitfire.” Why was no investigation conducted by the US Army into this very serious incident? This is in itself indicative that the powers that be wanted to get rid of Patton. This is a very serious omission that cannot be put down to negligence. And if an inquiry was conducted where is the report? On another occasion a tractor with a huge scythe like object suddenly charged at his vehicle – Patton was saved from being decapitated by “inches”. No investigation again!

Patton paid a visit to his family in US during July 1945 after a gap of about three years. Before returning to Europe he told his two daughters that they will never see him again! When they protested he replied: “My luck has run out. I ‘ve used it all up like money in the bank…I ‘ve had increasingly narrow escapes. It’s too damn bad I wasn’t killed before the fighting stopped, but I wasn’t. So be it.” Was this a premonition? Was it that he had sensed that the powers that be were after his blood? Was it, as Bazata had told Wilcox, that he had warned Patton? It is difficult to say because Bazata did not reveal the exact or approximate date on which Donovan directed him to get rid of Patton. Because if this was before Patton went to US it meant that it took another four to five months for ‘them’ to get him. He died in December and he was in US in July. Skubik’s sources revealing that Patton was a marked man were all Ukrainian. However Skubik’s files on Patton were stolen at some point and he only found out later. Apparently he had not looked at them for a while and when he looked they were gone.

Why was the “fightingest” of all allied Generals, who stayed on the battle ground very close to his troops during combat, instead of staying at a far away and safe distance from them, assassinated? In fact even in his death he chose to stay close to his martyred soldiers. He had willed that he be buried in Europe - he was buried alongside other fallen US soldiers in the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial. In order to understand why Patton was murdered one has to understand the highly suppressed reality that not only is the US and Europe controlled by a supremely rich cabal that has learned the value of secrecy and anonymity, but more astonishingly, the Bolshevik revolution was funded by Wall Street and bankers from within Europe. Trotsky was paid by Rockefellers and issued an American passport on the orders of that great stooge of bankers Woodrow Wilson. Lenin was funded by the bankers, and earlier, Karl Marx was funded by the US bankers as well as the Prussian elite.

Books of historians who were able to dig out this reality are not only suppressed in US, the authors themselves were made to suffer. Men like Anthony Sutton and Eustace Mullins were thrown out of jobs repeatedly on the express instructions of agents of the Elite. Ezra Pound was confined for 13 years in a mental institution when in fact, according to those who visited him regularly, he was in perfect mental condition and, acting as their mentor, suggested to many of them avenues of highly important research. Four people he mentored went on to win the Nobel Prize in literature. His “crime” was that he wanted to expose the big bankers for having manipulated to bring about the two world wars. He also wanted to dig out the truth about the Federal Reserve, a task he then assigned to Eustace Mullins. No wonder Professor Peter Dale Scott talks of “deep” or suppressed history.

The Elite divides mankind and brings about major wars so that it can bring all sides under debt, earn profits, and enhance its control over increasingly large chunks of humanity. The ultimate aim is One World Government, under its control, through wars, economic crises and panics, as enunciated by Mayer Amschel Rothschild in a meeting of the twelve richest men in Prussia as far back as 1773. The Bolsheviks were funded by the bankers and at one point, when the Bolsheviks had spent the money given to them, President Wilson gave them 20 million US dollars from a special fund at his disposal, as established from Congressional records. The Elite wanted to build the Soviet Union, whose leadership it controlled, as a great power, incredible as it might seem. It earned profits by doing business with the Soviet Union. At the same time it wanted to deceive mankind by creating a managed “threat” of Communism against Democracy – today the managed conflict is the “Terrorism” versus “Civilization” ploy. General Patton knew that the allied forces could take Berlin and Prague if their leadership wanted to. But the allied leadership did not so desire and in doing so allowed Communist Soviet Union to emerge as one of the two superpowers.

It was this reluctance on the part of the leadership to really fight communism at a time when the communist state could be fought, and his deep knowledge of the ground realities that first led him to suspect that the leadership was permitting communist Russia to become a great power as revealed in his diaries and letters to his wife. In fact, when, during a Press Conference on May 18, 1945 he was asked as to why Prague was not taken by US forces, General Patton replied: “We were ordered not to.” Eustace Mullins has put it in the following words: “Eisenhower’s refusal to allow Patton to take Prague and Berlin, holding him back while the Russians occupied these critical capitals, remains one of the greatest performances of treason since Benedict Arnold, like Eisenhower, sold out to the British.” Patton foresaw the communist enslavement of Eastern Europe. To quote Wilcox:” Patton saw this coming and wanted to head it off by going to Berlin, as he had been briefed was the Allied plan, and capturing it before the Russians did. But he was stopped by Eisenhower for reasons that are still controversial today.” Eisenhower could not be acting on his own but at the dictates of superior authorities. No wonder the docile Eisenhower, who was junior to Patton, who was by far a better general than him, had been elevated earlier above Patton and went on to become the President of the United States. His road to Presidency was paved by the Elite by murdering the exceptionally popular, loved and forthright Patton.

In his diaries Bazata has mentioned that the Allied authorities made special efforts to retard the advance of Patton’s armies. Bazata told The Spotlight that the top brass tried to stop Patton “militarily”. In his diaries he notes that Patton’s truckers were encouraged to sell off “gasoline, clothing and food” on the black market, to deliberately send trucks with black marketers as drivers, etc. He notes in his diaries that the British wanted to prolong the war – he did not know that it was not just the British. He writes that he first noticed this when Donovan asked him to “stop” Patton and when, to quote Wilcox, the “British refused to take the surrender of large number of Germans he captured during the war.” Historians have noted, as Wilcox points out, that Patton was militarily stopped when Eisenhower allocated scarce gas to Montgomery instead of Patton. However Mullins has stated this more emphatically. He writes:

As a result of Patton’s bold advances in France, Field Marshal Montgomery persuaded Eisenhower to issue one of the most amazing military orders in history. All Allied Armies must advance exactly abreast so that no one (meaning Patton) would receive “undue credit”.

The effort to retard Patton was made because, as the “deep” historians have already uncovered in a different manner, the powers that be i.e. the Elite, wanted to prolong the war, not merely to earn more profits from defense sales and to add more to the debts of fighting nations, but also to allow for the emergence of the Soviet Union, as a major global power. That would lay the basis of future conflict and a repetition of the same cycle of war through communism versus democracy conflict.

One of the most important aspects of Wilcox’s work is the deep link between Donovan, the Soviet NKVD, and his British promoters. In fact many reputable writers even go as far as saying that Donovan was a British agent. Bazata also believed so. In fact it was the British envoy to US Sir William Stephenson, himself an intelligence operative carrying the codename Intrepid, who worked towards convincing the US President, in an intricate and involved manner, of the need of setting up an intelligence organization, which was then named OSS. He maneuvered to get Donovan appointed as Chief of OSS and triumphantly reported to Stewart Menzies, the British intelligence chief: “You can imagine how relieved I am after three months of battle and jockeying for position that our man [Donovan] is in a position of such importance to our efforts.” Anyone, and there are not too many, who is aware that the Elite controls UK and US agencies, that it brought about the two World Wars, that it brought about the Bolshevik Revolution and controlled the Bolshevik leadership, that it funded Hitler, will easily understand that all these agencies and Heads of State work for the Elite. The collaboration between OSS and NKVD during WWII, over and above the heads of important US military leaders therefore becomes unsurprising. Through its agents on all sides, the Elite pulls the strings as part of a larger design.

Finnish freedom fighters had captured Soviet codebooks and these were available for sale. Donovan was advised by FDR not to buy the Soviet codebooks, and decryption documents - about 1500 documents in all (why?). Yet Donovan did so (why?) and then handed those codebooks to the NKVD (why?). He did not consult with the US military leaders (why?) who were very angry. According to archival records dug out by Wilcox, the Joint Chiefs wrote to Donovan on August 18, 1945 (italics added): “The action of the Office of Strategic Service which led to the Russians being informed of Hoettl network was not coordinated with the War and Navy Departments and has not been confirmed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff as required.” Why did Donovan breach established policy or rules or SOPs involving the highest level of US military leadership?

It was against this background that General Patton came into contact with Germans and displaced Jews, and realized, as he put it in a letter to his wife: “The Germans are the only decent people left in Europe.” It gradually became clear to him that the politicians (actually the Elite, but he was not fully aware of this) had used the US army for the wrong end – they had destroyed Europe and allowed communism to emerge. He did not know that this was by design, but he did conclude that that was the end result of the official policies and he was very vocal in his opposition. His opinions about the Jews he dealt with were not very flattering as his diaries reveal. At the same time, his diaries, and his letters to his wife also reveal, that he was disgusted with the highly preferential treatment that was being accorded, under orders of Washington, to displaced Jews. On August 29, 1945 he noted in his diary: “Today we received a letter to give the Jews special accommodations. If for Jews why not Catholics, Mormons, etc.”

Patton had apparently written to Secretary of War Stimson “on the question of pro-Jewish influence in the Military Government of Germany” as noted in his diary of August 31, 1945. He probably did not know that Stimson was a member of the secret society named Skull and Bones and was therefore an agent of the Elite, an Elite with a Jewish component which is richer than the Gentile component, an Elite which has secret societies and organizations working for it, an Elite that stays faceless and anonymous. Thus the Elite had direct and almost complete knowledge of his views. In fact Kissinger, a German born Jew, who was only in his twenties at that time, fought to wrest control of Germany from Patton. And the war criminal Kissinger, as everyone aware of such matters now knows, is a great stooge of the Elite, the deeply concealed cabal of international bankers like Rothschilds, Warburgs, Schiffs, Morgans, Rockefellers, etc. The so called Eastern US establishment meshes with all these through the Yale secret society Skull and Bones, as well as the British Group established at Oxford during the times of Sir Cecil Rhodes - all part of the One World cabal or the Elite. The other secret groups in US and Europe, the Freemasons, the Illuminati, etc. are also interlaced in this web to form this well knit, deeply embedded, anonymous and ominous cabal. The Elite-dictated Washington policy was to divide Germany geographically, destroy it economically, to expel German population from their homes and to starve them. This was the so called Morgenthau Plan. Simultaneously the Elite wanted to create Soviet Union as a power equal to that of the US.

Patton, though he never disobeyed orders, had an independent opinion about how to deal with Germans. While the Washington policy towards the Germans was dictated by the secret societies cum super-rich-Jew dominated Elite, Patton was an honest and forthright American and therefore had an approach based on fair play, justice and humane principles. He was reluctant to evict German families in order to accommodate displaced Jews in their homes. Only after repeated promptings from Eisenhower did he agree to evict German families from their homes to accommodate the Jewish displaced persons. He was also critical of the orders to blow up German factories. In his diary he notes:

“I doubted the expediency of blowing up factories, because the ends for which the factories are being blown up – that is preventing Germany from preparing for war – can be equally well attained through the destruction of their machinery, while the buildings can be used to house thousands of homeless persons.”

Patton also wrote in his diaries: “Actually the Germans are the only decent people left in Europe. It’s a choice between them and the Russians. I prefer the Germans.” Two days later (September 2, 1945) he noted: “What we are doing is to destroy the only semi-modern state in Europe, so that Russia can swallow the whole.” He probably did not know that the Elite had planned to make Russia a superpower opposed to the US and control both, through the antagonism they planned to maintain between the two powers. He was probably not aware that, as writers like Mullins and Sutton were to dig out later, that the vast majority of concentration camps were controlled by Jewish administrators who were responsible for the deaths of around sixty to seventy million Christians in these camps between 1917-1967, that the Bolshevik revolutionaries were funded and controlled by the Elite, and that their sole aim was to usurp power, keep the aristocracy intact while destroying the middle class as a political factor. The concentration camps were full of working people. The destruction of the middle class is currently being pursued by the banking cabal in the US, as pointed out forcefully by Congressman Bernie Sanders of Vermont on December 2, 1910 in a speech before a stunned house, a house full of stooges and agents of the Elite masquerading as “representatives” of the people of the US.

Patton however was on the opposite track as far as his mindset was concerned. He criticized the use of POWs as slave labor – slave labor is a hallmark of the Elite approach to human kind and such camps are likely to be set up in the coming decades in the US, no matter how far-fetched it might seem at present. So many things have happened in the US in the past 15 years or so, that were unthinkable at one time, from unbridled domestic spying to the awesome powers of FEMA, etc. In fact one of Eustace Mullins pamphlets addressed to fellow Americans carried the title There is a Gulag in your Future. Patton wrote:

We are turning over several hundred thousand prisoners of war to be used as slave labor in France. It is amusing to recall that we fought the Revolution in defense of the rights of man and the Civil War to abolish slavery and have now gone back on both principles.
He was right. He also wrote:

If what we are doing [to the Germans] is ‘Liberty’ then give me death. I can’t see how Americans can sink so low. It is Semitic and I am sure of it.

He was on the right track and the Elite always fears those who stand for the truth in the best American traditions. The Elite has, at least in the last two hundred years or so, used assassination repeatedly to eliminate those who stand in its way. Patton was to become one such martyr.
As the above quotes show, Patton was deeply critical of the Morgenthau plan to destroy Germany. Henry Morgenthau was a ruthless Jew and was the US Secretary of Treasury and a close “friend” of Roosevelts since 1913. Both, Roosevelt and Morgenthau were agents of the Elite. In fact Morgenthau was so loyal to the banking families that he had foreknowledge of the 1929 crash of Black Friday. As Mullins describes it, Morgenthau came to Guaranty Trust and ordered the close down of 60 million dollars worth of securities in Guaranty Trust within three days! When the officers at the Guaranty Trust tried to remonstrate he became furious and shouted at them: “I didn’t come here to argue with you. Do as I say!” A few days later the crash occurred. The Morgenthau Plan envisaged partitioning of Germany, internationalization of the rich Ruhr region and the destruction of Germany’s factories. His “plan” was the command of the Elite for which he and Roosevelt worked. That Morgenthau was Jewish meant that there was absolute congruence between the desire of the Elite and his own tribal instincts. Patton saw clearly that the Washington policies were aimed at damaging the working relationship of the US army and the Germans. The Americans were ordered not to fraternize with the Germans. Patton wrote to his brother in law:

I think this non-fraternization is very stupid. If we are going to keep American soldiers in a country they have to have some civilians to talk to. Furthermore I think we could do a lot for German civilians by letting our soldiers talk to their young people.
But this was not what the Elite and its stooges in Washington desired.

Joaquin Bochaca wrote in his book Los Crimenes De Los Buenos (published 2001) :

“The abuses committed by the forces of occupation in Germany reached bestial extremes that various people in the Allied command structure opposed it – or tried to…Lindbergh mentioned how the American soldiers burned the leftovers of their meals to keep them from being scavenged by the [starving] Germans who hung around the garbage barrels.”

Bochaca quotes Colonel Lindbergh, the famous American hero:

“In our homeland the public press publishes articles on how we ‘liberated’ the oppressed peoples. Here, our soldiers use the word ‘liberate’ to describe how they get their hands on the loot. Everything they grab from a German house, everything they take off a German is ‘liberated’ in the lingo of our troops. Leica cameras are ‘liberated’, food, works of art, clothes are liberated. A soldier who rapes a German girl is ‘liberating’ her.”
Bochaca further quotes Lindbergh:

“There are German children who gaze at us as we eat … our cursed regulations forbid us to give them anything to eat…I remember the soldier Barnes, who was arrested for having given a chocolate bar to a tattered little girl. It’s hard to look these children in the face. I feel ashamed. Ashamed of myself, my people, as I eat and look at those children. How can we have gotten so inhumane?”

The Elite policy was designed to destroy the innate humanity of the US soldiers and to create a wedge between the US army and the German people. An army devoid of humane sentiment is a mercenary machine. The Washington policies, dictated by the Jew-dominated One World cabal, were demoralizing and degrading the US army. Patton was very sensitive to this. Bochaca writes:

“General Patton, perhaps the most popular of the American generals, immediately opposed the total or partial application of the Morgenthau Plan in his sector of occupation. Soon he had a run-in with another general of higher rank: General Eisenhower. It’s well known what extremely violent debates they had about how the civilian population of Germany was to be treated. Patton was sentenced to death by the directors of the scenario.”

Patton’s dissent was unacceptable and in view of his great popularity and integrity and his absolute fearlessness, he posed a threat to the plans of the Elite. As the Elite and its agents in Washington became more aware of Patton’s clear views, he became a marked man. The Elite controlled media began a campaign against Patton by planting false or highly distorted stories about him. At a press conference on May 8, 1945 Patton was asked whether he intended to treat captured SS troops differently he replied: “No. SS means no more in Germany than being a Democrat in America – that is not to be quoted (italics added). I mean by that that initially the SS people were special sons of bitches, but as the war progressed they ran out of sons of bitches and then they put anybody in there. Some of the top SS men will be treated as criminals, but there is no reason for trying someone who was drafted into this outfit.” However his off the record remarks were picked up by the Elite controlled press and his statement was distorted so as to damage his prestige.

On September 22, 1945, the forthright and direct Patton response to questions by the Elite owned media reporters about his attitude towards Germans, was twisted by the Jewish controlled media. A reporter asked the following, presumably inspired or prompted question: “After all General, didn’t most Nazis join their party in about the same way that Americans became Republicans and Democrats?” Patton responded “Yes, that’s about it.” The Jewish New York Times headlined Patton as having said: “The Nazi thing is just like a Democratic-Republican fight.” The content of the headline was then taken up by the national press. The Jewish leaders like Morgenthau, Chief Justice Felix Frankfurter, Bernard Baruch who financed the great Elite stooges Wilson and FDR, all of them, and others wanted Patton’s head. The whole furor appears managed to the trained eye. General Patton had noted in his diary:

“There is a very apparent Semitic influence in the press. They are trying to do two things: first, implement communism, and second, see that all business of German ancestry and non-Jewish antecedents are thrown out of their jobs. They have utterly lost the Anglo-Saxon conception of justice and feel that a man can be kicked out because somebody else says he is a Nazi. They were evidently quite shocked when I told them when I told them I would kick nobody out without the successful proof of guilt before a court of law.”

So Patton had realized that the “Semitic” influence was in the direction of building communism and destroying Germany economically, the only European nation with the qualities required to fight off communism. If one substitutes the word “Elite” for “Semitic” one may notice that he was as close to the truth as was possible in the world of those days and that was dangerous.

Earlier, on September 14, 1945, he had noted:

“I am frankly opposed to this war criminal stuff. It is not cricket and is Semitic. I am also opposed to sending POW’s to work as slaves in foreign lands, where many will be starved to death.”

To quote Mullins: “As a result of Patton’s opposition to the Kissingers, who believed they had won the war and should rule Europe, a furious press campaign was launched against him.” This campaign was orchestrated and coordinated at the highest level. According to a Patton biographer Farago the reporters were pawns in the hands of Eisenhower et al. He included General Walter Bedell Smith, whom Patton hated, as among the planners who destroyed Patton. Walter Bedell Smith was appointed Eisenhower’s Chief of Staff when Eisenhower became Commander of the European Theater of Operation. Eisenhower requested his appointment on grounds of proven ability to work with the British. Smith was a very close friend of Donovan and, after the war, became US ambassador to Russia. In 1954 Walter Bedell Smith became one of the founders of the Bilderberg Group – a position reserved for the deepest agents of the Elite.

Earlier in the war, when he was posted in Africa, Patton had slapped two soldiers, whom he considered cowards, on different occasions. The incidents took place in Sicilian hospitals. Wilcox writes: “Because one of the soldiers was rumored to be Jewish there were also whispers of anti-Semitism.” Now a couple of years later there was again a campaign against him. In response to the manipulated press campaign the compromised and docile General Eisenhower relieved General Patton of his command of the Third Army. Eisenhower was sleeping with Kay Summersby, seemingly his secretary. However, in reality, she was a British intelligence agent. She had been planted to ensure that instead of British troops, Eisenhower would employ more Americans so that further British loss of life could be avoided. Mullins states that this tactic cost about a 100,000 American lives in battle. Patton was Governor of Germany by virtue of being commander of the Third Army, an army that he had commanded so successfully and brilliantly. He was appointed Commander of the Fifteenth Army. On September 29, 1945 Patton wrote to his wife that he preferred being moved from his position instead of acting as “executioner of the best race in Europe.”

It must be emphasized that Patton was not anti-Semitic or a racist. Wilcox has quoted historian Victor David Hanson:

Patton’s bombast supposedly proves that he was anti-Semitic, but a prominent trusted military aide, the intelligence officer Col. Oscar Koch was Jewish and beloved by Patton – as was his official biographer Martin Blumenson. Patton was reportedly racist, but most than other commanders he admired black units (“I don’t give a damn who the man is. He can be a nigger or a Jew, but if he has the stuff and does his duty he can have anything I ‘ve got.  By God I love him!”), insisted on the presence of some black officers as judges of military tribunals involving black defendants, and spent more time with his African-American aide Sergeant Meeks, than with almost anyone else while in Europe, developing a relation of mutual respect that transcended that of a general and his valet….Many Jews served with him and won his loyalty – as he did theirs.

These things were surely known to his superiors as well as the intelligence community, and therefore the Elite. He was killed because he could have stood in the way of allowing Russia to become a major power and thus could have foiled the design of the Elite to plunge mankind into a new era of confrontation. He would have exposed them too.

Patton represented the true spirit of America, a spirit that the Elite wanted to strangle and degrade, strangulation and degradation that is going on till today, strangulation that has brought the US public to its knees. He was upright and honorable, hated intrigue, stood for justice, was fearless, and wanted to be on the attack against wrongdoing no matter how powerful the wrongdoers were. In so doing he was inviting death. The Elite wants to rule a world comprising of individuals who are afraid of them, will obey their orders, will not think, will not question, will be selfish and will work against fellow humans for the ruling Elite. Integrity and clarity of thought are the greatest foes of the Elite and must be destroyed. Fear and mental confusion are two very important weapons of the Elite. Patton was clear headed because he had integrity and because he never feared death. A speech delivered to American troops before the invasion of Europe Patton revealed his inspiring thought. He said:

“You are not all going to die. Only two percent of you right here today will die in a major battle. Death must not be feared. Death, in time, comes to all men. Yes every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he is not he is a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even when he is scared. Some men get over their fright in a minute under fire. For some, it takes an hour. For some it takes days. But a real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood. Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best and removes all that is base. Americans pride themselves on being He Men and they are He Men. Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are, and probably more so. They are not supermen.”

The Elite was frightened. What if a man of such integrity and honor were to become President of the United States? He had to be pre-empted, like many others before and after him.

In October 1945 Patton wrote to Maj. Gen. James G Harbord (1866 – 1947) back home in US condemning the Morgenthau Plan and announcing his intention of fighting back. Just like his letter to the Skull and Bones member, Secretary for War Stimson, this letter was also sent to the wrong person. A search on Gen. Harbord reveals that he was a Freemason. They are all part of the networks of the New World Order or the One World cabal – Skull and Bones, Freemasons, Illuminati, Jewish and other agents of the banking cabal, etc. In his book Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Freemasonry, Albert Pike (1809 – 1891), a Freemason of the 33rd order, has pointed out that a Freemasonic Lodge is always regarded as “representing some part of the Temple of Solomon”. Is the Temple of Solomon not a sacred temple of the Jews? The penetration and control of US and European institutions by the secret society brotherhoods is astonishing.

Patton wrote to Harbord:

I shall resign, not retire, because if I retire I will still have a gag in my mouth…I should not start a limited counter attack, which would be contrary to my military theories, but should wait until I can start an all-out offensive.

Of all the people in the world he had, unknowingly, addressed the letter to a Freemason! This was most unfortunate. Patton was very happily married to Beatrice Ayer one of the richest women in US and was therefore secure financially – he did not need a pension. The Elite does not allow anyone to stand in the way of its evil designs. In an article Wilcox states that a number of people in positions of importance where one may get to know things have come to believe that Patton was murdered. Skubik has mentioned that Robert Patton, the General’s cousin who served with General Patton, told him that the family of General Patton believes that he was murdered. In fact Patton’s wife Beatrice Ayer hired a private detective to look into the death of her husband. Wilcox mentions that a Patton contemporary Lt. General George E. Stratemeyer was convinced that Patton was murdered. He chose to inform the FBI that in case he was himself found dead it would be because he espoused the viewpoint that Patton was murdered.

In a postscript to his book, written October 2010, Wilcox mentions a letter written to him by a former OSS agent Ralph de Toledano. The letter was written in January 2005 but Wilcox did not use the information provided by de Toledano because Toledano had not allowed him to use his name. Toledano passed away in 2007. Ralph de Toledano, a very important investigative journalist, a “walking encyclopedia” on 20th century politics, had written of numerous important individuals who had told him that Patton was assassinated by OSS. Among them one may mention the following:

Raymond Murphy, head of State Department security during and after WWII;

John A. Clements who was part of a very secret Marine Corps intelligence operation, told de Toledano that Patton had been murdered by an OSS-Rote Kapelle (Red Orchestra, the chief Soviet operation in Germany) team;

Lt. Igor Guezenko the Soviet code clerk who broke up Soviet atomic espionage, told de Toledano that he had also picked up the Patton case Richard Nixon, two of whose books were written by Toledano, also told him that OSS was involved in Patton’s murder Louis Nichols, de-facto second in command of FBI Director J Edgar Hoover.

The much maligned Senator Joe McCarthy also told de Toledano that his investigators were working on Patton’s murder and that he planned hearings on Patton’s death. That may well be the main reason he was demolished so thoroughly by the Elite that even today his name is associated with “witch hunts” against communists. The Elite will go to any extent to destroy those who seek to expose it.

There are a few more names but the above list gives us a fair indication of many insiders who were aware that Patton was murdered and that the OSS was involved. Someone from the Mannheim region, where Patton met his accident, wrote to Wilcox after reading his book, that it was widely rumored in the Mannheim region immediately after his death, that Patton had been assassinated. Wilcox mentions that there are others who believe that Patton was murdered and are in a “position to know”. He has summed it up very well in a December 2010 article:

Rumors that Patton was assassinated have grown since his death. Although I ‘ve mentioned a few, motives to kill him abound. It seems clear what actually happened to him has been covered up. The disappearance of all reports and investigations from that fateful day, as well as the car in which he was injured, are strong indications of foul play. Add two credible witnesses testifying to a plot to kill Patton, the inconsistencies surrounding the accident itself and his questionable death in hospital, and there are compelling reasons to initiate an official investigation even sixty-five years later.

At least the book should have prompted an official investigation. But the US is in complete control of the One World cabal, stupefied through consent engineering techniques and media manipulation. When the Elite kills, the sources are removed or suppressed and the media also kills the stories that reveal the truth. Wilcox’s very well researched book has been met with complete silence in the mainstream US media – no reviews in the major newspapers – nothing whatsoever. That silence in itself speaks volumes of foul play and of the deep and bloody involvement of the Elite.

The 70 weeks of Daniel were 490 literal years that was a period of probation for national Israel:

Dan 9:24-27 (KJV)

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem [457 B.C., Ezra 7] unto [the coming of] the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks [7 + 62 =  69 weeks, 27 A.D.]: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two [62] weeks shall Messiah [the prince] be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of [Messiah] the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he [Messiah the Prince] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [7 years]: and in the midst of the [70th] week [31 A.D.] he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease [be crucified as the lamb of God], and for [because of] the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
