NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
I never said that any people were fake. I never said that there were people in the lawsuit that had fake roles. I STATED that KEENAN BELIEVED that Zagimi represented to Keenan that Bosco was a Vatican banker. That is it. You keep reaching conclusions that are not supported by the statements. |

A conspiracy theory is about two or more people having been manipulating things in an illegal way. If Zagami has been lying and only him, then it's not a conspiracy. However, also Basco must have been lying since in the lawsuit it says on page 41:
"During the course of those discussions, DAL BOSCO represented to KEENAN not only that he was the financial advisor to Zagami, but also to the Vatican, Vatican City, Rome as well as the Treasurer of the P2 Masonic P2 Lodge in Rome and Monte Carlo working directly with Zagami." This means that for my initial statement to be wrong at least two persons must have been lying, which is a conspiracy theory. The only exception as I can see is if the persons in the lawsuit don't exist at all and have been made up by only one author, in which case it's fraud but not a conspiracy (since only one person would then be involved). |

Yes, it is.
I said that some poster(s) here were accusing the Vatican of fraud. To claim that I'm wrong requires a conspiracy theory. Because the lawsuit claims that Bosco is a Vatican banker, and Bosco even claimed that himself in person to Keenan (page 41 in the lawsuit): "During the course of those discussions, DAL BOSCO represented to KEENAN not only that he was the financial advisor to Zagami, but also to the Vatican, Vatican City, Rome as well as the Treasurer of the P2 Masonic P2 Lodge in Rome and Monte Carlo working directly with Zagami." |

It was Zagami who told Keenan that Bosco was a Vatican banker:
"At that time, Zagami introduced Fulford through SKYPE conversations to DAL BOSCO whom Zagami represented was a trustworthy Vatican Banker and also associated with the P2 Masonic Lodge." Keenan not only believed Zagami but also believed Bosco himself: "During the course of those discussions, DAL BOSCO represented to KEENAN not only that he was the financial advisor to Zagami, but also to the Vatican, Vatican City, Rome as well as the Treasurer of the P2 Masonic P2 Lodge in Rome and Monte Carlo working directly with Zagami." So a conspiracy theory is needed to claim I'm wrong. Without such conspiracy theory, the statements in the lawsuit are taken as being true and then my initial claim about people here accusing the Vatican is true. |

Yes, it does since Keegan later on met Bosco in person:
"During the course of those discussions, DAL BOSCO represented to KEENAN not only that he was the financial advisor to Zagami, but also to the Vatican, Vatican City, Rome as well as the Treasurer of the P2 Masonic P2 Lodge in Rome and Monte Carlo working directly with Zagami." And Bosco himself claimed to represent the Vatican (or at least being connected to the Vatican). |

Not necessarily. Zagimi MAY or MAY NOT have represented that Bosco was representative of the Vatican. Bosco MAY or MAY NOT have represented that Bosco was a representative of the Vatican or a Vatican banker. All you have in the lawsuit is a statement that indicates KEENAN'S BELIEFS. That is all.

But then the claim in the lawsuit that Zagami told Keenan is untrustworthy, and then Keenan must possibly have been lying! And since Zagami hasn't objected to the statement in the lawsuit, Keenan most likely was telling the truth.
Keenan most likely really was told by both Zagami and by Bosco himself about the Vatican connection. |

Those who proclaim nonduality in the sense of nobody being a doer are often EXTREMELY adamant. As I described earlier my guess about that is that this is how the Advaita meme has managed to spread itself from person to person. The meme attaches itself to the subconscious of the seeker and since it's a false belief in enlightenment, there will be a hidden doubt in the mind of the seeker making him or her work very hard trying to convince others that the state of 'enlightenment' is real.
And that's why I sometimes am almost rude in my replies, because the nonduality people can be so extremely stubborn. On the other hand I may be the one who am mistaken, so I will relax my 'attacks' on the nonduality teachings a bit. |

The lawsuit certainly looks unbelievable on the surface I must admit. And also the people involved, like Fulford and Zagami appear unconvincing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqPg-mc1CIQ
Still, who knows. I'm willing to believe the lawsuit is true. |

Here is a strange fake bank paper: http://benjaminfulford.typepad.com/f...nisto-scan.jpg
Looks like some kind of joke with ridiculously large sums of money mentioned at the bottom of the paper. From: http://benjaminfulford.typepad.com/b...3%82%A4-x.html |

Maybe it's wishful thinking to believe that the claims in the lawsuit are true but the fact that the lawsuit was accepted is remarkable I think. And it fits with the conspiracy theory I have about the Eastern powers having fooled the Western powers by very long term plans that can stretch over a whole century.
In the case of the lawsuit, China shipped a lot of gold to the U.S. and is was on a 60 years lease basing if I remember correctly (from the mid 30s to the mid 90s or something like that). The Chinese powers knew that the U.S. would not be able to give back the gold when the leasing period ended. They tricked the U.S. to accept the gold, and in the short run it looked like a good deal. Today however, the leasing period is over and gold has to be given back (similar to how Hong Kong had to be given back), or money for it paid plus interest. The 1 trillion dollars is only a small part of the amount that has to be payed. The total amount is something like hundreds of trillions of dollars. If the U.S. is a corporation then it can file for bankruptcy and in that way the payment to the Asian powers can be avoided. Ha ha. |
