Black Nobility and the Vatican.

The black nobility is the base of the global crime syndicate that controls this planet. The black nobility or black aristocracy are the aristocratic families that sided with the papacy under Pope Pius IX after the army of the Kingdom of Italy led by the Savoy family entered Rome on September 20, 1870, overthrew the pope . and the Papal States, and took over the Quirinal Palace, and the nobles later ennobled by the Pope prior to the Lateran Treaty of 1929. Any family that produced popes for the Vatican is royalty. Most of the black nobility are Vatican royalty. The black nobility consider themselves sovereign princes. These families earned the title of "black" nobility for their relentless unscrupulousness. They used murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery and all kinds of deception on a large scale, without resisting the achievement of their objectives. The black nobility were the families that financed and created the holy corporation of the Vatican with the aim of imposing world slavery as a necessary institution, with the sole belief that some are born to rule and others to be ruled. The idea that certain families were born to rule as an arbitrary elite, while the vast majority of a given population is condemned to oppression, servitude, or slavery became the theological position of this elite. The "New World Order" is an attempt to take control of society by these fascist families with the purpose of the total slavery of humanity.
The Vatican is an imperial nation and is the largest empire in this world. The Vatican City, or the Holy Vatican Corporation, officially the Vatican City State, is a nation that operates as the largest intelligence network in the world. The Holy See is the "All-Seeing Eye" in society and a corporate entity connected to many other corporations and governments through papal and royal statutes. Archbishops and high-level bishops are the overseers of society within their districts and oversee politics, police, business, and organized crime. The same year that the professor of ecclesiastical law and practical philosophy at the University of Ingolstadt, Adam Weishaupt, created the Order of the Illuminati, was the same year that they created the United States as a corporation to run it as their private army and lead I dig the agenda of a "New World Order" for the elites, mainly, thanks to the infiltrated Freemasonry and directed by the Jesuits.
The New World Order is a conspiracy of lineage at the top. They are ancient and evil bloodlines that build and destroy empires for control through an order out of chaos. Royal and noble houses are corporate entities and claim to rule and own land, resources, and people. Landlords have always been the dominant owners of gold and precious metals. They empower and finance bankers and entrepreneurs to work for them through their corporate homes. They authorize and issue the creation of laws, agencies, the military, companies, and universities. They create and run religions and secret societies. They also finance and organize organized crime syndicates as if they were commercial enterprises. Some of the major royal bloodlines include Savoy, Bourbon, Medici, Glücksburg, Wittelsbach, Nassau-Weilberg, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Romanov, Grimaldi, Orleans, Braganza, Habsburg, Hannover, Windsor, Saud, Thani, Khalifa, Alouwite , Zogu, Hohenzollern, Orange-Nassau, Bonaparte and Bernadotte. Many royal bloodlines still rule their nations as heads of state such as the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Monaco, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Morocco, Sweden, Norway, and Luxembourg. The Vatican City State is also a kingdom with the Pope of Rome as its monarch. The Black Nobility are the ancient bloodlines of the Papal States and they own the Holy See and the Vatican. They produced the first popes of Rome and held leadership positions in the Vatican from its inception. The Colonna and Torlonia still hold the hereditary positions of the Assistant Princes to the Papal Throne. The black nobility consider themselves sovereign princes. The Vatican is used as a central point of control and the Holy See is one of the oldest and most criminal corporate entities in existence. The Spanish Catholic Church is immensely rich, it has not suffered the crisis and also enjoys a true tax haven, being free to pay taxes, such as the IBI, works, companies, etc. The vast majority of the assets in their possession and on their accounts are completely opaque. This situation is illegitimate, unfair and presumably illegal, and this occurs with the complicity and consent of the public powers.
The Erlach and Brandi families are Swiss tax advisers who enable corruption, bribery, criminal financing, and money laundering. The Swiss Guard is the one that protects the Vatican City State. The Swiss cantons have been in contract with the Vatican for centuries and Switzerland is basically a papal state with the noble Roman saints claiming partial ownership. The German house of Baden-Zahringen founded Bern, in Switzerland. The House of Savoy ruled the regions of Switzerland for hundreds of years. Some of the most important bloodlines of the Black Nobility are: Massimo, Colonna, Pallavicini, Odescalchi, Ruspoli, Orsini, Aldobrandini, Sforza-Cesarini, Boncompagni-Ludovisi, Chigi-Albani-Della Rovere, Doria-Pamphilj, Rospigliosi, Giustiniani , Torlonia, Corsini, Borghese, Del Drago, Lucchesi-Palli, and Gaetani. The Pecci and Pacelli families are more recent bloodlines of the Black Nobility. The black nobility share ownership over the Holy See, which is a corporate entity based in the Vatican City State that was established as a nation in 1929 under Benito Mussolini, who was put in power by the House of Savoy. The Mussolini and Franco families became nobles after their fascist regimes. The Black Nobility also owns the Knights of Malta, the Jesuits, and the Cosa Nostra. The Black Nobility established branches in southern Italy and married Sicilian-Campanian nobles such as the Lanza di Scalea, Adragna, Sanseverino, Tomasi di Lampedusa, Paterno, Cattaneo, Serena di Lapigio and Rocco di Torrepadula families. Many Italian crime families were Sicilian nobles like the Bonanno and Bellomo families. Both the mafia bosses and the Italian and Spanish nobles call themselves Dons, which is the equivalent of Boos (boss) of crime. The Savoy, Savoy-Aosta, Medici, Borbon-Dos Sicilias, and Borbon-Parma families are members of Italian royalty and are married to various European royal bloodlines and Black Nobility. Most of the monarchs are members of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Prince Carlo Massimo has been overseeing the Sovereign Military Order of Malta as President of the Italian Association of SMOM. The Knights of Malta have an undercover operation at the Jesuit School of Foreign Service in Georgetown, run by Joel Hellman. The Jesuits and the Knights of Malta basically run the Defense Department alongside British Crown agents and high-level Freemasons. Prince Carlo de Borbón-Dos Sicilias is a high commander of the Society of Jesus through his Sacred Constantinian Military Order of Saint George. The Jesuits were authorized by Pope Paul III of the Farnese family. The Bourbon-Dos Sicilias and Borbon-Parma families are the continuation of the Farnese family, the name Farnesivs is engraved in the Jesuit headquarters called the Church of Gesu in Rome. The Farnese family lived in a pentagonal fortress called Farnese Villa Caprarola, which is the basis for the design of the American Pentagon. Jesuits are involved in education, politics, banking, science, law, and especially military intelligence. The Italian Bourbons have established residences all over the world, including Florida. Jesuits need to be investigated and banned, they have rightly been expelled from almost every country in the world, but they always end up coming back. In Spain three times, his last return was at the hands of General Franco.
The Holy See is a corporate body that issues laws and bills, such as the Golden Bull, which claims ownership of the Kingdom of England and identifies the emperor as the sovereign of the only legitimate universal empire, directly chosen by God. The Pope claims temporal power or ownership over the Earth and also claims Papal Supremacy or Papal Rule and Papal Infallibility. Infallibility means incapable of being wrong. The Roman Curia or Papal Court is the highest organized council in society and is directly supervised by the two “Assistants of the Prince to the Pontifical Throne”, these two positions are held by the princes of the Colonna and Torlonia families. They work with a higher level princely council of the Italian nobility that works with another council made up of the Roman nobility. The Italian and Austrian nobility are married to each other and work closely together leading the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which is a sovereign entity equivalent to that of a sovereign nation. The Italian Nobility, La Cosa Nostra and the German and Austrian Nobles, run the Jewish Mafia. Royalty and nobles have massive amounts of wealth in private bank accounts in Switzerland. They use the Nazi-founded Bank for International Settlements to steal wealth from central banks through fraudulent tax contracts and then launder and hide the wealth in private bank accounts in Switzerland. The main Italian lineages still active include the Massimo, Colonna, Pallavicini, Torlonia, Aldobrandini, Ruspoli, Orsini, Gaetani-D'Aragona, Borbón-Parma, Odescalchi, Borghese, Adragni, Chigi, Medici, Borromeo, Doria-Pamphilj, Sacchetti, Savoy, Grimaldi and Bourbon. These bloodlines oversee the various specters of society. Outside of this power structure is the Committee of 300 with an inner circle made up of the leading monarchs and princes of Europe and the former Holy Roman Empire with members from Windsor, Spencer, Cecil, Percy, Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Habsburg, Bonaparte, Orleans, Bernadotte, Lagergren, Glucksburg, Hannover, Furstenberg, Austria-East, Hohenberg, Hesse, Nassau-Weilberg, Habsburg-Lorraine, Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach, Saxony-Meiningen, Braganza, Orange-Nassau, Hohenzollern , Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Liechtenstein, Rothschild, FitzJames, Lobkowicz, Ligne, Merode, Romanov, Thurn and Taxis, Schwarzenberg, Orsini-Rosenberg, Windisch-Graetz, Esterhazy and other families. Many members who do not have noble status on the Committee of 300 are representatives of the royal families.
These families are all enemies of humanity and have conspired to enslave the world for centuries. They authorize and create corporations and billionaires, run religions, states, secret societies, the mafia, and organized crime syndicates. Royal families in Europe are mainly divided into two factions, and this dates back to the Guelph merchants and Ghibelline landowners. All other groups like Bilderberg, CFR, and the Trilateral Commission are lower-level organizations. All roads lead to Rome, which is the basis of its control system. The European Constitutional Monarchies are branches of the corporate empire of Rome. Constitutional Monarchies are ruled by blood-appointed heads of state and serve Rome through the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The Pope claims temporary or physical ownership of the Earth.

The Jesuits are a military priesthood officially established by Pope Paul III A.K. to Alessandro Farnese of the Farnese family. The Jesuits were officially established under the Papal Bull called Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae, which means Military Regiment of the Church as the continuation of the Templars. The Black Nobles are the true owners and controllers of the Vatican and maintain their control throughout the centuries by installing their relatives as high-level popes and bishops. At present the Torlonia and Colonna families who have the hereditary positions of Prince Assistants to the Papal Throne are those who supervise the pope. In turn Pope Francis supervises all members of the Catholic Church and also supervises the various secret societies that are connected with the Church.
The Jesuits are also a Masonic order and were the continuation of the Templar orders when they were banned. The Roman Catholic Church mocks Christians by performing rituals where they pretend to drink blood and eat human flesh known as the Eucharist, also called Holy Sacrifice. The New Testament did not exist until about 1600 and the Old Testament is even more recent than the new. It was the Vatican and European monarchs who created both the New and the Old Testaments. The last official version of the bible was published in 1777.
The bishops and priests operate as supervisors and the Jesuits function as spies trained in deception and are infiltrated everywhere. The Pope claims temporal power or ownership over the Earth and also claims Papal Supremacy or Papal Rule and Papal Infallibility. Infallibility means incapable of being wrong. Archbishops are the overseers of society within their districts and oversee politics, police, business, and organized crime. The Latin phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum means New Order of Ages (or Ages), or also "New World Order", and is on the US dollar bill and Great Seal of the United States.
The Vatican uses Latin as an official language and for documents. America is named after the Italian Americo Vespucci who worked for the Medici family of Florence and Rome. Vespucci created the term New World for America. The Bank of America was originally called the Bank of Italy and was founded by Amadeo Giannini, who was financed by Italians. Nations were formed as companies or corporations to exploit their citizens as merchandise. Corporations are fraudulent constructions because they are considered a person with rights under the law, and because the owners and controllers of the corporations can disregard responsibility for crimes committed by the corporation. That is fraudulent. Corporations are not people and therefore cannot have rights. Corporations are also monopolies that use subsidiaries to hide their dominance over industry. Private companies cannot compete fairly with corporations. Citizens are also classified as legal persons (companies), robbing them of all their human rights. Corporations shouldn't exist.

In Florida businesses can't run raffles unless they are a charity or for a charity. Have you seen businesses do it any way and not get in trouble?

According to Florida statutes raffles are a form of gambling but charities can do them. There is a local retail business that has done some shady stuff that is doing one. I heard from one of the workers that it will be rigged. A few friends have already bought tickets. I normally wouldn't bother to report but I think I should this time. Who do I report this to? Will they even do anything about it?

Julie Schenecker shot and killed her two children - 13-year-old Beau & 16-year-old Calyx - while her husband was stationed overseas. After her arrest, she said they were "being mouthy."

Hey everybody! This is Emily from the podcast, Morbidology. I covered this case in episode 34. I'd love if you gave the episode a listen if you're interested in learning more about this case. It includes a lot more information as well as audio from Julie's interrogations and confessions and other primary audio.
 
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/34-calyx-beau-scheneckeid1463979546?i=1000465124719
 
The Schenecker family consisted of Julie, Parker and their two kids - 13-year-old Beau and 16-year-old Calyx. They lived in an upscale cul-de-sac in a gated community in north Tampa. Parker was a colonel stations at the headquarters of U.S. Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base while Julie was a stay at home mother.
 
Both of the kids were well-liked in school and active within their own communities. Calyx was a cross country running star at her school and had formed a Harry Potter fan club. Beaux was an aspiring soccer player and had a group of friends online on Call of Duty. Their neighbors recollected that they were well-mannered and polite.
 
At around 7:45AM on the 28th of January, 2011, Tampa police received a phone call from Julie's mother, asking for welfare check on the family. Parker was overseas in Afghanistan and Julie had expressed depressive and suicidal thoughts to her mother and was complaining extensively about her children. When police arrived at the scene, they received no response. There was a note on the door which read: "We all went to NYC. Be back Thursday." Out the back, they found Julie. She was unconscious and was wearing a blood-stained robe and slippers.
 
Inside, police found the bodies of Beau and Calyx. They had both been shot dead. Julie had shot Beau in the car on the way to soccer practice and had then come home and shot Calyx as she did homework on her computer. They also discovered a note from Julie which read that she was planning on killing her children because they talked back to her and she was fed up with it.
 
Julie pleaded not guilty to the murder of Beau and Calyx, She was appointed a public defender because of the expected high costs of the defense and because none of her family would help her pay. In an application for criminal indigent status, Julie had listed her assets as a $20,000 bank account, $120,000 in mutual funds, $2,850 in rental income, $14,000 in savings and $17,000 equity in real estate. Beside the list of funds, she wrote “owned with husband.” On the form, she also listed more than $800,000 in liabilities and debts and listed her number of dependents as zero.
 
The murders completely stunned the community and made headlines across the nation. A mother killing their child is a complete aberration of nature and many were drawn to the ghastly crime as they tried to make some semblance of sense of the tragedy. Despair is often what leads parents to kill their children and most often, it involves either a father or stepfather lashing out in frustration. Rarer still is a mother intentionally killing her children and most of those murders involve babies or toddlers, not teenagers. For a mother to kill their teenage child, more often than not, they suffer from severe mental illness. Public reaction for women who kill their children can very often be harsher. Many rightfully question how can somebody kill somebody that they carried in their own body for nine months?
 
Nobody could quite comprehend what had happened to make Julie snap. To those looking in, the Schenecker family were a quintessential upper-middle class family and Julie was a loving mother. However, cracks soon began to emerge. According to some neighbors, police cars had been seen outside the family’s home at 16305 Royal Park Court. Back in November, Calyx told a counselor that her mother had hit her on two occasions. On one of the occasions, she had been hit with such force that she split her lip. The argument started after Calyx bought something in the grocery store and when Julie looked in the bag, Calyx told her to stay out of her business.
 
Mental health counselors are required by state law to report all allegations of abuse and neglect within 24 hours and that’s exactly what the counselor did. During an investigation into the allegations, Julie admitted to “back handing” her daughter after her daughter had spoken back to her during an argument. Parker told the investigators that Calyx and Julie had a strained relationship and often got into arguments. In fact, Parker said that he sometimes needed to mediate over the while stationed in the middle east. He told investigators that the mother and daughter duo had been attending counselling for around three weeks due to communication problems. He also told investigators that this was the first time that an argument ever turned physical but said he had no safety concerns for his children being left alone with Julie. According to state investigators, there were no visible signs of injury on Calyx and closed the case, stating that they determined that the risk to Calyx and Beau was low and that there were services in place for Calyx and Julie with the counselling. Just two weeks later, Julie would buy the gun she used to kill her children.
 
Two days after this incident, Julie got into a car accident and the officers believed that she was on drugs. Now with this new information out in the public, many questioned whether substance abuse may have been a contributing factor to the murders. While people rarely become psychotic just from abusing drugs or alcohol, these substances can lower inhibitions. It can grease the wheels from thought to action.
 
Shortly thereafter, Parker told the media that Julie had suffered from mental illness before they were married. He also suggested that she may likely have suffered from substance abuse. He said that she had been diagnosed with bipolar and suicidal thoughts in the past.Speaking to the magazine, People, Parker said: “We were a typical American family, but we had a sick member. I don’t hate Julie. I feel for her. I’m going through my hell, she’s going through her own hell.”
 
Parker had refrained from saying anything negative about Julie and had always managed to keep his composure. Something that not many could do if faced with a similar situation. However the following month, from behind bars, Julie turned down his divorce settlement officer and instead, demanded half of the $2 million marital estate and demanded $40,000 for a lawyer and $10,000 for a forensic accountant. She wanted alimony, health insurance and she wanted Parker to buy a life insurance policy naming her as beneficiary. She also wanted her diamond engagement ring back. It was incredulous to Parker who went on the offense and filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Julie. Now piled on top of an unimaginable tragedy was a civil action of Schenecker vs Schenecker. The drafted complaint included an email that Julie had sent to Parker on the day of the shootings. It ominously read: “Get home soon, we’re waiting for you.” According to the complaint, the email was sent: “with the intent, or reckless disregard, to cause her husband severe emotional distress.”
 
Towards the end of July, court documents were released by prosecutors that gave a little insight into Julie’s drug habits. While searching the home, police discovered 567 pills and 14 different prescription drug bottles. The drugs included oxycodone and hydrocodone, both strong and addictive painkillers, as well as lithium to treat bipolar and anti-depressants.
 
The following month, Julie's defense said that they would be using an insanity defense, arguing that Julie could not differentiate between right and wrong when she shot and killed Calyx and Beau. When Julie was led from police headquarters in January of 2011, photographers captured an ominous image of her. Her eyes were wild and she mumbled incoherently. She was the portrait of an insanity defence waiting to be made. A Florida statute lists 15 aggravators that prosecutors can present during trial in support of the death penalty. Juries then must weigh those against mitigators that are presented by the defense. There were several potential aggravators that the prosecution could present during Julie’s trial, including arguing that the murders were premeditated, that they were committed simultaneously and that the victims were children with Julie as their caretaker.
 
Before the year came to an end, Julie’s attorneys responded to Parker’s wrongful death lawsuit, by saying that he was also to blame for his children’s murder. They accused him of being negligent for leaving them in the care of a woman he knew was mentally ill. They argued that Parker had a responsibility to his wife and children to make sure that she was receiving proper care. They said that this accusation was based heavily on emails that Parker had sent to family members 11 days before Julie killed Calyx and Beau. In these emails, Parker wrote that Julie had the judgement of a 10-year-old and that she had hit him and the children in the past. "Julie was broken before I met her. ... I didn't break her, but have been patiently working behind the scenes to pick up the pieces and pick up the slack when she falters," he wrote in one email.
 
The trial began in May. Some of the most chilling testimony came early on in the trial when the interview recording between Julie and Detective Gary Sandel was played out which included Julie’s confession. In the interview, Julie said that her children had been really mean and that she hoped they were dead. “I loved them when they were birth through six,” she told the officer. In the interview, Julie described how Calyx and Beau became mouthy and several times throughout the interview, she confessed to shooting them both.
 
Tampa Police Department Crime Scene Technician, Matthew Evans later took the stand to read statements from Julie’s journal. “I was hoping it would be tonight… I cannot stand waiting 5 days. I will pick up the gun on Thursday. Calyx, she gets it first. Don’t know whether I will first turn on the light or have her blind. I’m nervous. She called me pathetic and an evil soul. The evil starts Thursday. Beau has become sassy since you left, copying Calyx’s attitude. Now he’s turned on me. He used to be my ally. I always loved him most.” His testimony then went on to read from journal entries Julie made after the murders. Julie also wrote that she attempted suicide after the murders but had failed overdosing.
 
Julie's defense team attempted to portray her a mother who had lost her battle with mental illness. Throughout her adulthood, she had suffered from the manic highs and lows that characterize bipolar. She would go on gambling binges and then collapse in bed for weeks. They called on Dr. Demian Obregon to testify about Julie’s mental state. In addition to bipolar, Dr. Obregon said that Julie had suffered from depression and that her condition became increasingly worse as she suffered side effects from the different medications she was prescribed. He noted that she had limited coping skills, limited insight and strained family relations in the visits leading up to the murders. During his testimony, Dr. Obregon said that he had advised Julie not to drink alcohol while on her medication. Suddenly, Julie stood up from the table and shouted across the room: “Doctor you told me I could have two drinks a day and two oxys a day!”
 
Julie was found guilty of first-degree murder. She was sentenced to two concurrent life terms in prison, meaning that Julie will die behind bars.
