[Blog Editor: This is an upfront “ask” for reader help for a laptop issue I’ve run into. As I type this message I am connected to the Internet via my Android Smart Phone tethered to my laptop. WHY? Because my 4-year-old laptop no longer recognizes broadband WiFi. I have consulted with a Computer fixer in my local area. When I described my situation he offered three scenarios (which indicate my Senior Citizen lack of tech skills which I have no doubt cause a younger more tech savvy person to laugh at me):
1. Somehow I turned OFF the WiFi on my Laptop (And I can’t figure out where the on/off switch is).
2. I have a corrupted WiFi Driver.
3. My WiFi Card (whatever that is) stopped functioning and needs to be replaced.
The first two are a free solution he will perform. The last solution will count as a service job which is $90.00 (he said an hour but doubts will take that long – minimum fee), plus the cost of a WiFi Card purchase and installation. My Computer Guy estimates a worst case scenario of $140.00.
I will appreciate the more monied readers to chip in for the worst case scenario with my PayPal Donation Link (A Card or PayPal can be used at the link).
AND NOW back to the Blogging you came to read or to wonder.]
AND SO, my current Internet connection is operating in slow motion. TODAY I’m sharing two posts which I discovered from my Telegram App on the old smartphone.
FIRST: The Telegram Gateway Pundit pointed (Telegram Date: 8/12/25) a link to The Gateway Pundit website that oddly has no author or date which leads me to believe there is a promotional thought involved. NEVERTHELESS, the info is a good read: “Politico: Former Vatican Auditor Alleges System Enabled Money Laundering”. The title got my attention. BUT the post content segues into some Russiagate Hoax content making it worth reading.
NEXT: I am a Ning member of the Social Media group Patriot Command Center (might have to ask to join to read but definitely to comment). I got to an email alert that sent me to a 8/11/25 post by Steve Eichler (who posts often at the Canada Free Press) entitled, “BREAKING – Classified Documents To Frame Trump”. I appreciate Eichler’s tenacity. Perhaps you will as well.

Politico: Former Vatican Auditor Alleges System Enabled Money Laundering

H/T Telegram Channel 8/12/25
Politico has published new claims from Libero Milone, a former auditor from Deloitte who was appointed by the Vatican in 2015. Milone alleges that the Vatican’s payroll agency was able to change names and account numbers on transactions after they were processed, allowing funds to be sent to private clients without revealing their identities.
According to Sleuth News, the U.S. intelligence community may have been involved. Sleuth News did not provide evidence to substantiate this claim but linked it to past reporting on Neustar’s role in projects tied to the 2016–2017 investigation.
Sleuth News specializes in deep dives into Russiagate, FOIA litigation, and related political and legal documents.
Vice President Vance told Gateway Pundit Publisher Jim Hoft that investigations related to the 2016 efforts to undermine and subvert Trump’s victory and first term are underway.
Revelations about Russiagate have been spilling out for weeks, even though the mainstream media has refused to cover it. Former CIA Director John Brennan has been caught lying about the releases. Law Prof Jonathan Turley suggests part of the motivation for their silence, is they don’t want to admit the role the media played in the Russiagate hoax against President Trump and his 2016 election victory.
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway’s summary of the releases so far is that “Democrats should be scared.”
The problems with the media’s multi-year RussiaGate coverage were:
1. Lying Steele source – Paid Clinton op-researcher generated a fake ‘dossier’ which was never verified and many of its claims were obviously fake.
2. FISA warrants – DOJ lied on applications for secret warrants; judges approved them anyway.
3. Collusion proof – The Mueller probe from 2017-2019 closed with zero conspiracy charges and zero substance.
4. Opposition ≠ collusion – Campaign met Kremlin-linked figures; nothing exchanged.
5. Obstruction claim – Firing Comey was legal and proper, later revelations has shown Comey to be a lying and unprofessional deep state actor;
6. Coverage tally – 533,000+ “Russia!” stories from the mainstream media repeated this ‘big lie’ but then when it was found to be disinformation and fake news, the media systemically underreported debunking details.
7. Senate review – Stated “serious procedural lapses,” zero collusion finding.
8. Russian Interference found to be false – Even though the media endlessly reported this alleged fact, the only thing the Russians did in 2016 was buy $100k in inconsequential Facebook ads, and no votes were altered.
Reports of financial irregularities at the Vatican, combined with the related characters involved, indicates that more revelations are forthcoming.
Milone says he was removed from his position after identifying irregularities involving Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu. Vatican officials have said Milone was dismissed because they believed he was acting as a spy.
Milone confirmed his allegations during a press conference and in on-the-record comments to Politico.
Sleuth News has reported that Neustar’s Melbourne office, acquired in 2015, received four transfers totaling $2 million from the Holy See between 2016 and 2017. The outlet said these transfers were not tied to regular business activities.
Australia’s money-tracking agency has copies of the wire transfers, six-figure transfers sent from the Vatican to a U.S. company’s Aussie office in 2016-2017. They won’t show the details publicly, but they’ve confirmed the transfers happened.
Cardinal Becciu, previously prosecuted for money laundering, has said the transfers were linked to “classified” projects. He was later convicted of fraud and embezzlement.
In 2022, Sleuth News sought records from AUSTRAC, Australia’s financial intelligence agency, but was unable to have redactions removed. AUSTRAC stated that Neustar’s “business interests” outweighed the request for disclosure.
The cash transfers don’t make a lot of sense on their face. A tech firm that normally earns money from phone-number databases suddenly got $2 million from the Vatican and then sold the unit at a loss right after, and that timing keeps popping up on auditors’ radar.
Even though direct evidence has not yet shown precisely what is happening here, the RussiaGate revelations are ongoing.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported, there are indications that authorities may still be examining related matters from the 2016 fraud and coup attempt against President Trump. This could include financial transfers and alleged coordination between individuals linked to the Vatican and private companies.

BREAKING – Classified Documents To Frame Trump
Secret Handoff (PCC Photo)
August 11, 2025 8:01pm
Treason, illegal use of classified documents, fraud, and sedition are what just bubbled to the surface in the ongoing investigation of the Russia-collusion hoax, but is it true?
As the facts surface, the evidence looks more like a spy novel than the truth, and some wish it was. Many claim treason is coming out of the shadows and exposing how the Democrats weaponized classified information to sabotage Trump and the MAGA Movement.
In the murky world of Washington politics, whispers can be more dangerous than bullets, and when those whispers are fueled by classified intelligence, the damage can shake a nation to its core.
A newly surfaced whistleblower account now alleges that one of the highest-ranking Democrats in Congress, Rep. Adam Schiff, played a direct role in orchestrating such leaks, weaponizing America’s most sensitive information to undermine a sitting president and discredit an entire political movement.
A secret whistleblower bravely stepped forward and spilled the beans about the incredible secret operations to bring down Trump and the MAGA movement.
According to newly obtained FBI documents, a Democratic staffer who spent over a decade on the House Intelligence Committee under Democratic leadership came forward in 2017 with a shocking claim: Schiff himself authorized the leaking of classified material designed to tarnish President Donald Trump.
Steve Eichler, JD, founder of the Patriot Command Center, said in today's interview, "Our friend 'Just The News' founder John Solomon has done a tremendous service to the American people by researching and reporting this story. My hat's off to him!”
The whistleblower, whose name and soon identity remain redacted for protection, told federal investigators he was personally present when Schiff allegedly greenlit the operation during an all-staff meeting.
The directive? Release damaging classified intelligence into the media mainstream to create a legal and political case against Trump.
This wasn’t a casual slip of sensitive information. The plan, according to the source, was deliberate. Schiff allegedly assured the team that the leaks would remain anonymous, that they would “not be caught.” The whistleblower objected, calling the action “treasonous,” “illegal,” and a gross violation of public trust.
Hidden in plain sight. It appears the clandestine operation was a tactical political hit job masquerading as oversight and flew under the radar.
If these allegations are true, they reveal a chilling reality: the Intelligence Committee, entrusted with safeguarding America’s secrets, was allegedly used as a political hit squad. Schiff, as chairman, would have had not just access to classified material but also the power to selectively frame it for maximum political damage.
By strategically leaking to sympathetic media outlets, the committee could shape the public narrative, fueling the Russia-collusion hysteria that dominated Trump’s presidency. The objective wasn’t simply to discredit Trump; it was to delegitimize the MAGA movement entirely, branding millions of Americans as complicit in foreign interference.
The documents reveal that the FBI interviewed the whistleblower again in 2023, meaning the bureau has had years to investigate these claims. Yet, to date, no charges have been filed, no subpoenas issued, and no accountability pursued. The silence is deafening, and for many, it confirms the suspicion that the justice system has been selectively enforced depending on the political target.
Trump administration official Kash Patel emphasized that the FBI “found it, declassified it,” and has now passed the evidence to Congress. The next move is in lawmakers’ hands: will they investigate this alleged betrayal, or will it be buried in the swamp’s murky depths?
If Schiff indeed authorized classified leaks for partisan gain, it strikes at the heart of the American republic. Such an act would not only violate federal law but would also constitute an abuse of congressional power that borders on sedition. Leaking classified intelligence to sabotage the Commander-in-Chief is not mere political hardball; it’s an attack on the constitutional order.
The Founders warned against factions that place party above country. This episode, if proven, would be a textbook example of that danger made real.
Why this matters beyond Trump is far-reaching at the least. If true, then the constitution has been breached, and trust at the highest level destroyed.
While Donald Trump was the intended target, the implications extend far beyond one man. This is about whether intelligence agencies and congressional oversight committees can be trusted, or whether they have become political weapons wielded against opponents.
The MAGA movement, regardless of one’s opinion on its policies, represents the voices of millions of Americans. Undermining it through covert operations isn’t just dirty politics; it’s the deliberate disenfranchisement of a segment of the American electorate.
Congress now faces a stark choice. It can demand transparency, subpoena witnesses, and hold those responsible accountable, or it can allow this alleged treason to vanish into the archives of forgotten scandals. The integrity of America’s political system depends on which path it takes.
For now, the whistleblower’s testimony hangs in the air like a storm cloud over Washington. If true, it means our intelligence apparatus was not just politicized; it was weaponized, aimed directly at the American people’s right to choose their leaders without manipulation from the shadows.
Final Word: Did the FBI plant classified documents, buried the story for two years, and breached the constitution and Americans' trust? If so, will America become unglued if no one faces justice?
