    Time magazine gave journalist $20,000 per month to host progressivist parties during Vatican II

    “They gave me a generous Time magazine expense account – $20,000 each month during the (Second Vatican) Council sessions – to hold regular dinner parties in my large apartment.” As he told Moynihan, he and his wife would “often host 50 or 100 journalists and monsignors, priests, and bishops and diplomats, sometimes during the week, sometimes on the weekend.”

    The purpose of these gatherings was clear: it was not only to share information, but, as Moynihan reports, “to provide a space where the agenda of a ‘more open Church’ could be freely discussed, Kaiser said.”

    That is to say: the U.S. secular Time magazine hosted luxurious gatherings throughout the 1962-1965 Vatican II sessions with numerous influencers in order to push the Council in a more progressivist direction. As Moynihan says, Kaiser quickly became “one of the most influential journalists in the city. His coverage of the Second Vatican Council set a standard and tone and ‘line’ – the ‘line’ was that the Catholic Church was undergoing a revolution which would change the Church profoundly.”

    I very much doubt it was “information” that was being shared at the apartment parties. There was almost certainly rather less in the way of “discussion” and rather more in the way of “underage gay discotheque” taking place there.”

    • They lied to us
      Karl Denninger observes that the lies about the lethal threat from COVID-19 are already unraveling:

      We were all lied to about how “horrible” 2020 was going to be — and was — in terms of excess death. Indeed this is the “justification” used for everything — ‘Warp Speed’ (despite the now-emerging risks of killing people wholesale), lockdowns, mask orders, destruction of businesses, ruining a full year of student education in the United States and more.

      The CDC paraded around their charts telling us repeatedly that people were dropping dead at a ridiculous rate and so did the media. You know, people were dying but otherwise wouldn’t have? This was the entire reason that politicians, businesses, schools and others gave us for all these “measures”; we had to do it because people were going to and did die at a wildly-excessive rate. This was an awful pandemic, remember — the worst since 1918, dwarfing all recent experience.

      What if I told you that was all a lie?

      Fact: It was a lie.

      2020 was not the worst excess death year since the 1918 pandemic.

      It was second.

      The worst year in recent memory was…. wait for it…… 2017.

      That’s right — all of the screaming, the lockdowns, masks, development of stabs, all of it: We did it and are still doing it for, what we now know, was a complete and total load of bull****.

        • The UN & its Plan to Rule the World

          Now they fear the economy is crumbling and to prevent a popular revolution, they created this draconian COVID lockdown and ordering vaccines, social distancing, and masks, all to instill in the minds of the sheep, that there is a risk even to meet anyone else, which they hope will prevent any gathering in mass to overthrow them. Meeting others brings the risk of death, which is their real message to prevent any revolution against their authoritarian dreams.

          So, drop by drop, they are leaking out this agenda knowing that the press will NEVER do their job and connect the dots, nor will the majority of the people. In this, they hope to conquer the world and end democracy once and for all.

          • Not to mention that it depends how you define “excess deaths” . . . IMO, the only statistic that tells you anything is total deaths per million population in a given year compared to the previous few decades.
