The Pope - The Richest Man on Earth

"The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth, is consequently the richest individual of the twentieth century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars."

Interesting..........Thanks for the read.

Perhaps we can track these people and what interests they have with the U.S. or the world for that matters.

Just a thought.

160▲ Oprah Winfrey $2.7 billion ▲


Not bad I thought she was worth more oh well.

I used to talk to her way back when, when she was a nobody. That was a long time ago. I'm glad she is wealthy and so successful the guy who was her boss then was a total dork, who treated her badly with no respect and now she is worth billions and he is an old miserable guy that worked for a local TV station.

poetic justice ahh you gotta love it.!

I might be bouncing the ball a little here, but does this sound a little familiar thats been happening today in the U.S.

In the early 1990s, the five pro-western governing parties, Christian Democracy (Democrazia Cristiana), the Italian Socialist Party, the Italian Social-Democratic Party, the Italian Republican Party and the Italian Liberal Party, lost much of their electoral strength almost overnight due to a large number of judicial investigations concerning the financial corruption of many of their foremost members (see the Mani Pulite affair). This led to a general expectation that upcoming elections would be won by the Democratic Party of the Left, the heirs to the former Italian Communist Party, and their Alliance of Progressives coalition unless there was a strong alternative. Berlusconi publicly announced on 26 January 1994 his decision to enter politics, ("enter the field", in his own words) presenting his own political party, Forza Italia, on a platform focused on defeating the Communists. His political aim was to convince the voters of the Pentapartito, (i.e. the voters of the usual five governing parties of the Italian Republic) who were shocked and confused by Mani Pulite scandals, that Forza Italia was both the novelty and the continuity of the pro-western free market policies that the Italian governments had established since the end of the 2nd World War. Shortly after he decided to enter into politics, investigators into the Mani Pulite affair were said to be close to issuing warrants not only for his arrest but also for the chief executives of his business group. During his years of political career Berlusconi has repeatedly stated that the Mani Pulite investigations were led by communist prosecutors who wanted to establish a soviet-style government in Italy

I have not had the chance to read it all but it fits the M/O thats happening to our Government.

Mani pulite (Italian for clean hands) was a nationwide Italian judicial investigation into political corruption held in the 1990s, following the scandal of Banco Ambrosiano in 1982, which implicated mafia, Vatican Bank and P2, and the Maxi Trial of the mid-1980s. Mani pulite led to the demise of the so-called First Republic, resulting in the disappearance of many parties. Some politicians and industry leaders committed suicide after their crimes were exposed. The corruption system that was uncovered by these investigations was usually referred to as Tangentopoli, or "bribeville".

In other words THEY CLEANED HOUSE
