Files Allege Jeffrey Epstein Spent Time Living with Pope John Paul II in Vatican

2003: Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican

It’s not surprising that the Vatican shows up in the Epstein files since Epstein kept tabs on every powerful entity on the planet. But one email claims Epstein actually lived in the Vatican with Pope John Paul II at some point.

An email from Brandon Thompson, who appeared to be a contractor working on refinishing and lime-washing columns in one of Epstein’s homes, outlined the intricacies of the project to Richard Kahn at HBRK Associates, Epstein’s accountant.

“He wants me to finish each column different, as when he was living with Pope John Paul the Second in Vatican, he looked at variety of different columns captured in wars,” wrote Thompson. “He told me that every Pope demanded to have a column from every concurred [SIC] country, so there is a collection of different columns in Vatican.”

Of course there is no proof that Epstein lived with the Pope, although he and Ghislaine Maxwell visited with him in 2003 during a public audience. Just how intimate Epstein was with the Vatican is unknown, but in 2011 he claimed to have nearly possessed the Codex Vaticanus, one of the oldest and most important Church relics containing a majority of the Greek Old Testament and the majority of the New Testament. The Codex was famously seized by Napoleon in 1799 as a war trophy but was returned to the Vatican Library in 1815.

In an email to Boris Nikolic, who was a science advisor to the Bill Gates Foundation at the time and a close Epstein confidante, Epstein wrote, “I forgot to mention to Bill, that one of the first almost interactions with him was when I was the underbidder for the codex…The auctioneers told me that i shold drop out because if i owned them, no one would ever see them and they really should be in semi public hands.. I later had to settle for a present from the vatican of a special edition.”

One of the most revealing emails about Epstein’s alleged ties to the Vatican is a 2013 correspondence with Larry Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, former Harvard President and former chief economist at the World Bank. Epstein writes, “The most important change in the Vatican may not be Pope Benedict XVI sudden retirement but the change in leadership at ‘the Institute for Works of Religion,’ the Vatican’s bank. Because of the Vatican’s status as a sovereign country, it is exempt from transparency rules of not only Italy— but of the European Union. This status allows its elite clients to evade any scrutiny in their money transfers.” 

“Last May,” continued Epstein. “Vatican Bank President Ettore Gotti Tedeschi was fired after Italian authorities opened an investigation into a far flung bribery scheme in which he was allegedly involved. Then 47 dossiers, including compromising about “internal enemies” of his in the Vatican were found in a search of his home. They had instructions how they were used in case something happened to him. Tcdeschi’s intercepted calls futhcr revealed that his concern was that he would be assassinated because he knoew the Vatican’s secrets. By late 2012, he was cooperating with the ongoing Italian investigation, It was at this point that the all-powerful College of Cardinals, in one of the last acts in the Benedict papacy, appointed German lawyer Ernst von Freyberg as President of the bank. The came the extraordinary resignation of Pope Benedict.”

Freyberg had a short tenure as Vatican Bank president. He was named in June 2012 as an interim leader, then appointed president in February of 2013. Von Freyberg quickly began to open up the bank and adopted a zero-tolerance approach to suspicious activities, advocating transparency. He was dismissed in July along with the Vatican Bank’s entire senior management team as part of extensive reforms to the Catholic Church’s central government.

Jean-Baptiste Douville de Franssu has been chairman of Vatican Bank’s advisory board since July of 2014.

  1. Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at zylavostore showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

  2. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at discoverbetterapproaches continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  3. Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at brixeltrust reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.

  4. Люди подскажите Близкий человек уже несколько дней в запое Жена в истерике Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — выведение из запоя на дому быстро Приехали через 40 минут В общем, не потеряйте контакты — вывод из запоя на дому в санкт-петербурге https://alkogolizm.vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-sankt-peterburg.ru Вывод из запоя на дому — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  5. Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at ulvix confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.

  8. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after enterprisevaluealliances I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.

  9. Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at strategiccorporatealliances continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.

  10. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at clickfornewperspectives suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

  11. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at clickforbusinesslearning extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  12. Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at zixor reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.

  13. Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at plexin extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.

  14. Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at zalvo did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.

  15. Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at voryx reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.

  16. Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at everydaydigitalmarketplace kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.

  17. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at discoverbettersolutions fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.

  18. The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at professionalrelationshiphub kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

  19. Наркологическая помощь в Люберцах может проводиться на дому, амбулаторно или в стационаре клиники. Формат подбирает врач после осмотра пациента, оценки длительности запоя, количества алкоголя, возраста, наличия хронических заболеваний, психического состояния и возможных осложнений. Главный принцип медицинской работы — не просто вывести человека из состояния опьянения или похмельного синдрома, а стабилизировать организм, снизить риск срыва и начать лечение алкогольной зависимости.

  20. Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at zavix continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.

  21. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at longtermvaluealliances only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  22. One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at zylavoflow kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.

  23. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at kavionpath kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  24. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at quvexacore adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  25. Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at businessrelationshipnetwork continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.

  26. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at ravionstore kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  27. Распознать критическое состояние, требующее участия профессионалов, можно по характерным признакам. Если у близкого наблюдается расстройство сознания, неадекватное поведение или резкие скачки артериального давления, медлить больше нельзя. В таких случаях необходима экстренная помощь врача-психиатра, ведь длительное воздействие токсинов может закончиться отказом жизненно важных органов. Вызвать нарколога на дом в Москве и области нужно при первых же угрозах, не дожидаясь усугубления ситуации. Наши специалисты готовы провести лечение запоя и снятие ломки немедленно.

  28. Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at businessunityplatform extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  29. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at flexibledigitalshopping reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  30. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at androblink sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.

  31. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at nolix maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  32. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at longtermbusinesspartnerships reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  33. Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at trustedcorporateconnections pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.

  34. Лечение начинается с оценки клинической картины. Врач-нарколог проводит осмотр, при необходимости назначает обследование, ЭКГ, анализы, тест на употребление веществ, проверяет основные показатели, уточняет данные о принимаемых лекарствах, хронических диагнозах, аллергии, опыте кодирования и прошлых попытках остановиться. На этой основе назначается детоксикация: витаминно-минеральный раствор, средства для восстановления водно-солевого баланса, успокоительные препараты, нейропротекторы, кардиопротекторы, гепатопротекторы и другие медикаменты, которые улучшают самочувствие, поддерживают функции головного мозга, печени, сердца и нервной системы.

  35. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at onlinevaluepurchase reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  36. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at axory carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  37. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at tavro added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

  38. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at xelvix added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

  39. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at yaverobonded maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  40. This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked discovergrowthopportunities I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  41. Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at trustedshoppingplatform added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

  42. Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at smartdealpurchasecenter also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

  43. Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at businessgrowthpartnerships reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

  44. Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at qulix confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.

  45. Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at businessrelationshipnetwork extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
