I recently read the book, "Witness to Jasenovac's Hell," by Ilija Ivanovic. It is the first person account of surviving three years in the Croatian death camp during WWII that even the Nazi's found disgusting. Approximately 750,000 mostly orthodox Serbs were killed in this camp. Women were raped. Children starved to death. The Ustashe had a good time killing all of these people. You often see smiles on their faces in photographs as they are chopping or sawing heads of people off or cutting throats and catching their blood to drink later.
I got the book through interlibrary loan because many important reads such as this are only available at rather high prices since they don't get republished much. (I am currently awaiting "The Vatican's Holocaust," by Arvo Manahattan.) It amazes me that this horrific death camp is known less worldwide than Auschwitz, but I think the fact that it was Vatican supported and that many priests took part and that Bishop Stepinac worked well on covering it up has had something to do with the cover-up. The Vatican, it would seem, is an organization that is cover for some of the most horrific behavior that has ever existed.
A recent report came out in Ireland from a nine year study into child abuse at the hands of the Catholic Church. Things such as beatings, rapes, tortures, etc., of children are not uncommon from this organization. The report states that tens of thousands of children were abused by this organization. The reason that nothing has been done about this issue in the past is because it is well documented in many parts of the world the great lengths the organization goes to to keep such horrific behavior covered up.
Recently, Nazi Pope Ratzinger (a former Hitler Youth), apologized to the Indigenous folks of Canada for the abuses suffered at the hands of his organization in the residential schools in that nation. What this actually is is a cover-up. You see, the apology is PR to protect the wealth of his crime organization based in Vatican City. The Vatican has vast stolen from people worldwide using some rather horrific methods and that wealth must be protected. It is also an attempt at delaying litigation against the criminal organization in order that hopefully more of the litigants will die through suicide, old age, whatever. The Nazi Pope will not take responsibility for his actions. He will not make amends. He has a lot of money to protect.
Besides the current crimes, it seems to be little known that Eugenio Pacelli, who himself took up the head of the crime organization of the Vatican, through the Lateran treaty with Mussolini, brought vast wealth to his crime organization around 1933 when it was going bankrupt. This treaty also brought great power to the fascist movement of the time. Later, he helped in signing a treaty with the Nazi government of Germany, furthering their power as well. These treaties brought great wealth to the Vatican crime organization and thrust thug Pacelli to its head.
I don't know about you all, but don't you see a pattern here? Cover-ups, wealth stealing, wealth hoarding, wealth protecting, raping children, genocides, etc.?
It would seem that many organizations are used as cover for some peoples horrific behavior.
Don't forget, like I'm sure you already have, Jasenovac, The Birch Woods. I can almost hear the mallets cracking the skulls of orthodox Serbs, Jews, women, children, etc., as they are killed and pushed into the Sava River. The echoes of history. Another crime the Vatican will cover itself for to protect its ill gotten gain.
