According to newly released files from the US Department of Justice, messages sent between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon in 2019, reveal Bannon courted the late wealthy sex maniac in his attempts to undermine the former pontiff after leaving the first Trumpf junta.
Bannon had been highly critical of Francis whom he saw as an opponent to his "sovereigntist" vision, a brand of nationalist populism which swept through Europe in 2018 and 2019. The released documents from the DOJ appear to show that Epstein had been helping Bannon to build his movement.
"Will take down (Pope) Francis," Bannon wrote to Epstein in June 2019. "The Clintons, Xi, Francis, EU " come on brother."
Pope Francis was a significant obstacle to Bannon's brand of nationalist populism. In 2018, the former Trumpf sycophant described Francis to The Spectator as "beneath contempt," accusing him of siding with "globalist elites" and, according to "SourceMaterial," urged Matteo Salvini, now Italy's deputy PM, to "attack" the pontiff. For his part, Salvini has used Christian iconography and language when pursuing his anti-immigrant agenda.
Rome and the Vatican have been important for Bannon. He set up a Rome bureau when he ran Breitbart News and has been involved in trying to establish a political training "gladiator school" to defend Judeo-Christian values not far from the Eternal City.
When Steve Bannon shares with Epstein an article about the Vatican condemning "populist nationalism," Epstein quotes John Milton's biblical poem "Paradise Lost," when Satan has been cast out of heaven.
"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven," Epstein tells Bannon.
Elsewhere in the files, Jeffrey Epstein jokes with his brother, Mark, about inviting Pope Francis to his residence for a "massage" during the US papal visit in 2015.
An FBI report included in the DOJ's release includes a source who claims that an Italian cybersecurity figure described as "Epstein's Hacker" may have held a Vatican City passport.
Jeffrey Epstein had his filthy tentacle everywhere it seems and ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu denies that a man who penetrated so many corridors of global power was not a Mossad spy. If that was true, all previous Mossad directors and Israeli PMs should be court-martialed for not recruiting such a valuable asset.
Below, two of the worst blasphemers, miscreants, and reprobates to ever blight our planet are taking a "selfie" in a mirroe. Thank goodness at least one monster is gone forever.
