BESSENT VERBATIM (sb0500): "Crushing the threat of terrorism compels all of you to step up and join us in rooting out the financing that sustains itβfrom shell companies that are embedded within Europe, to shadow banking networks that lurk across the Middle East, and drug cartels across the Western Hemisphere."
BESSENT VERBATIM (sb0500): "So, if we are serious about 'no money for terror,' then there must also be 'no room for excuses.'"

STEVE BOTG EMAIL (PREP 5/20 verbatim): "ITM, Just some historical context on Cuba, the CIA, and the Pope. Once upon a time I wrote a term paper on operation QRHELPFUL in Poland during the 80sβ¦ Reagan met with Pope John Paul II about regaining his birth country from communist rule. The CIA provided $20 million in funds plus crucial communications equipment that was laundered through European intermediaries. The Catholic Church used its dioceses in Poland to help get the aid into the hands of the anti communist dissidents in the trade union Solidarity. Ultimately these actions would lead to Poland leaving the Eastern Bloc in 89, cause a chain reaction. What is currently going on, as you both noted in the last episode looks pretty damn close to this throwback. The beef between Trump and the Pope would appear to just be plausible deniability." β Steve closes: prayer + Hail Mary's for John + first family-visit-in-6-yrs-after-COVID-conspiracy-Trump-vote story.
