<quoted text>Propaganda Due (Italian pronunciation:[propa&#712; &#609;anda &#712;du&#720;e]), or P2, was a Masonic lodge operating under the jurisdiction of the Grand Orient of Italy from 1945 to 1976 (when its charter was withdrawn), and a pseudo-Masonic, "black", or "covert" lodge operating illegally (in contravention of Article 18 of the Constitution of Italy banning secret associations) from 1976 to 1981. During the years that the lodge was headed by Licio Gelli, P2 was implicated in numerous Italian crimes and mysteries, including the collapse of the Vatican-affiliated Banco Ambrosiano, the murders of journalist Mino Pecorelli and banker Roberto Calvi, and corruption cases within the nationwide bribe scandal Tangentopoli. P2 came to light through the investigations into the collapse of Michele Sindona's financial empire.[1]
P2 was sometimes referred to as a "state within a state"[2] or a "shadow government".[3] The lodge had among its members prominent journalists, members of parliament, industrialists, and military leaders—including Silvio Berlusconi, who later became Prime Minister of Italy; the Savoy pretender to the Italian throne Victor Emmanuel; and the heads of all three Italian intelligence services.
When searching Licio Gelli's villa, the police found a document called the "Plan for Democratic Rebirth", which called for a consolidation of the media, suppression of trade unions, and the rewriting of the Italian Constitution.[4]
Outside Italy, P2 was also active in Uruguay, Brazil and in Argentina, with Raúl Alberto Lastiri, Argentina's interim president (between July 13, 1973 to October 12, 1973) during the height of the "Dirty War" among its members. Emilio Massera, who was part of the military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla from 1976 to 1978, José López Rega, minister of Social Welfare in Perón's government and founder of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance ("Triple A"), and General Guillermo Suárez Mason were also members.[5]

The American voters will have to decide whether having 270 million or whatever RMoney has under his mattresses are the qualifications for being president?
Especially by those who were shouting "elite, elite, elite, elite" during the last presidential cycle.
Ironic isn't it!?

We don't mind elites. We just don't like uppity posers. Bishop Rmoney is the real deal, a real American elitist (born here of Mexican anchorbaby parents) and white to boot. Obama can't even dream of all the money that Rmoney has. Plus, psssssst, did you get what I meant by uppity? Obama is half black.

Obama can dream of the anti-American George Soros money, since he's getting quite a bit of it for campaign donations.

Bill Clinton: Romney Had a "Sterling Business Career"
The former president offers some unexpected praise of the presumptive GOP nominee.
By Ankita Rao |
Friday, June 1, 2012,
"I don't think that we ought to get into the position where we say 'This is bad work. This is good work,'" Clinton said of the private equity industry during an interview on CNN, later adding that Romney's time in both the private and public sector leaves no doubt he'd be capable of performing the "essential functions of the office."
While Clinton isn't the first Democrat to come to the defense of both private equity in general, and Romney's tenure at Bain in specific, he's easily the most high profile to do so.(Sorry, Cory, but: former POTUS > Newark mayor.) His kind words for Romney's time at Bain also come during a time when the president's reelection team has done its best to paint the presumptive GOP nominee as a job-killing corporate raider.
But despite his defense of Romney's professional resume, Clinton said that it shouldn't be the deciding issue this November. "I think the real issue ought to be, what has Governor Romney advocated in the campaign that he will do as president?" he said.
"What has President Obama done and what does he propose to do? How do these things stack up against each other?"
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT OBAMA FEARS THE MOST: HIS OWN RECORD.
What Filth!

I like how Bishop Rmoney was able to get our tax dollars to save the Olympics at our Mormon Vatican in Utah. He works well with lobbyists. It's too bad he had a tough time as governor of Massachusetts.
