======================================================================

Note: this is the tenth episode in a series of stories regarding the events surrounding the 2000 Fundraiser and the business relationship of entrepreneur Peter Paul, William Jefferson Clinton, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Used car salesmen, along with plaintiff attorneys who file lawsuits just to extort money, may be the most maligned group in the country. Deservedly so. Many of you have been burned when you bought a used car and it broke down within a few days. The used car salesman assured you that it was owned by a little old lady who only drove it to the store. Well, it looked pretty good and the odometer showed only 45,000 miles. That wasn’t bad for a car that was five years old.

You do your research and discover that the car was in an accident, the rust underneath had been painted over, the odometer had been turned back 100,000 miles, and the oil had not been changed for 50,000 miles.

For those not familiar with Andrew Grossman, he may well be the treasurer’s equivalent of a used car salesman. That may actually be too kind a characterization. He sold a used car to the FEC. Unfortunately for him, the wheels have just fallen off, the paint is peeling, and the tranny just dropped in the street. Whoops.

The scene is Los Angels Federal District Court. The defendant is David Rosen. Grossman actually sat in the witness box and testified that he never heard of a campaign fundraising event that cost a million dollars.

Grossman may be able to slide for such, shall we say lack of candor, with a cadre of people laughingly describing themselves as journalists. But he won’t get away with it here.

As treasurer for Hillary Clinton’s successful senate run in 2000, it was Grossman’s job to gather the information and make accurate filings to the FEC. He has a duty to produce accurate filings. He has had an opportunity to make an accurate report in the original filings and subsequent amended filings. He has had four years to make things right but has chosen not to do so.

So what about this million dollar campaign fundraiser thing? If you have been following these episodes, you are aware that whistleblower Peter Paul spent almost two million dollars of his own money on the gala Hollywood fundraiser in 2000. He was induced to do so with the promise that the soon to be former president would come aboard as a goodwill ambassador for his company, Stan Lee Media.

Hillary Clinton could not dare declare all of Paul’s in-kind contributions. It would have prevented her from legally spending a big chunk of hard money in the New York senate race. Gee, what would Hillary do? Cook the books? Duh, do ya think?

As we have chronicled, Howard Wolfson admitted to the WASHINGTON POST just a few days after the gala, that it cost a million dollars. Hillary knew that Gary’s Smith’s production fee alone was $800,000. A demand letter was hand delivered to Hillary headquarters from Paul on July 16, 2001, which outlined the cost of the event and demanded accurate reporting by the campaign. Judicial Watch held a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on July 16, 2001 in which they announced the filing of a complaint to the FEC. Grossman was named as one of the defendants in Paul’s civil suit, which Grossman answered prior to the final amended filing. Grossman was in possession of the information and copies of cancelled checks that Paul provided to help him do an accurate filing. Yet, Grossman has only declared $401,419.03. That is not even close. For government work or atomic bombs.

Under cross examination, Grossman claimed that he still does not know the cost of the event. The only credible excuse he could have is that he had been a coma for over four years. I’ve checked. Grossman had not been in a coma for over four years. He has been busy working for the Democratic Party. And, he has been lying. Rosen has been lying. Hillary has been lying. Wake up and smell the Clinton. They are all lying to protect Hillary. The true believers want her next residence to be 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Three people have told the truth. Wolfson, as official Hillary mouthpiece, did so inadvertently to the WASHINGTON POST. After all this time, Jim Levin, the man who worked with Clinton to ruin Paul’s business, has turned on poor Rosen in his testimony. And whistleblower Paul has been screaming it for four years.

Andrew Grossman, you are not going to get away with it. The evidence is there. After Rosen, Hillary will want you to be next to fall on your sword. Don’t do it, Andrew. Being honest would really be refreshing in the continuing conspiracy of Clinton criminality. Do ya think?

Oh, yes. By the way, Andrew, I wouldn’t ever buy a new car from you.

The Medal of St. Benedict

There is indeed no medal which possesses such wonderful power and none so highly esteemed by the holy Church as the Medal of St. Benedict. Whosoever wears this medal with devotion, trusting to the life-giving power of the holy Cross and the merits of the holy Father St. Benedict, may expect the powerful protection of this great Patriarch in his spiritual and temporal needs.

ORIGIN OF THE MEDAL

The origin of the Medal probably dates back to the time of St. Benedict himself, of whom we know that, in his frequent combats with the evil spirit, he generally made use of the Sign of the Cross and wrought many miracles thereby. He also taught his disciples to use the Sign of our redemption against the assaults of Satan and in other dangers. St. Maurus and St. Placidus, his first and most renowned disciples, wrought their numerous miracles through the power of the holy Cross and in the name and by the merits of their holy Founder.

The Medal of St. Benedict became more widely known through the following wonderful occurrence: Bruno, afterwards Pope Leo IX, had in his youth been bitten by a venomous reptile, in consequence of which he was seriously ill for two months. He had lost the use of speech and was soon reduced to a skeleton. All hopes of his recovery had been abandoned, when suddenly he beheld a luminous ladder that reached to Heaven, from which descended a venerable old man wearing the habit of a monk. It was St. Benedict, bearing in his hand a radiant cross, with which he touched the swollen face of Bruno and instantly cured him. Then the apparition disappeared.

Bruno, who had been healed in such a miraculous manner, later on entered the Order of St. Benedict. He ascended the papal throne in the year 1048 under the name of Leo IX and was renowned in the Church for his sanctity, his devotion to the holy Cross and to St. Benedict. Through this pope the Medal of St. Benedict was enriched with special blessings, and its veneration spread everywhere. The use of the Medal was solemnly approved and recommended to the faithful by Pope Benedict XIV in 1742.

THE BLESSING OF THE MEDAL OF ST. BENEDICT

The Medal of St. Benedict must be blessed by a Benedictine Father, or by a priest especially authorized. [The blessing can now be given by any priest (Instr., 26 Sept. 1964; Can. 1168). Also, Dom Gueranger states that the Medal is powerful even without the special Benedictine blessing.—Publisher, 1995]. There are three solemn prayers of the Church for the blessing of the Medal.

The first prayer is an exorcism of the wicked spirit, to make void his evil influence, with the earnest petition that the Medal be for the welfare of the body and soul of the wearer. The second prayer is a fervent petition:

O Almighty God, the Giver of all good gifts, we humbly beseech Thee that Thou wouldst bestow, through the intercession of the holy Father St. Benedict, Thy blessing upon these Medals, their letters and characters designed by Thee, that all who wear them and strive to perform good works may obtain health of body and soul, the grace of salvation, the indulgences conceded to us, and by the assistance of Thy mercy, escape the snares and deceptions of the devil and appear holy and stainless in Thy sight. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen

The third prayer is very impressive in virtue of the detailed and solemn commemoration of the agony, sufferings and death of Our Lord.

After the blessing, the Medals cannot be sold; otherwise, the blessing is lost. Medals must be bought before they are blessed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MEDAL

We distinguish two types of the Medal of St. Benedict: the ordinary medal, and that of Monte Casino, which is known as the Jubilee [or Centenary] Medal. The latter has been enriched with a great number of indulgences, especially with the famous Toties Quoties plenary indulgence on All Souls’ Day. We describe here only the Jubilee Medal.

In the year 1880 the venerable Benedictine Order celebrated the 1400th anniversary of the birth of its glorious founder. The beautiful Jubilee Medal was struck on this occasion, and since that time the Monastery of Monte Cassino has the sole privilege of striking this Medal. Hence all Jubilee medals must be procured from the Monastery of Monte Cassino.

On one side the Medal has a cross, the sign of our redemption, the protecting shield given us by God to ward off the fiery arrows of the evil spirit.

In the angles of the cross are found these four letters: C.S.P.B. They stand for the words: Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti—“The Cross of the Holy Father Benedict.”

On the vertical bar of the cross itself are found the letters: C.S.S.M.L., and on the horizontal bar of the cross: N.D.S.M.D. They signify:

Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux,
Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux

This means:

May the holy Cross be my light,
Let not the dragon be my guide.

Round the margin of the Medal, beginning at the right hand on top, we have the following letters: V.R.S.N.S.M.V.—S.M.Q.L.I.V.B., They stand for the verses:

Vade Retro, Satana!
Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana.
Sunt Mala Quae Libas
Ipse Venena Bibas.

The English words are:

Begone, Satan!
Suggest not vain things to me.
Evil is the cup thou offerest;
Drink thou thine own poison.

The reverse of the Medal bears the image of St. Benedict holding in his right hand the Cross, in the power of which he wrought so many miracles, and in his left hand bearing the holy Rule, which leads all its followers by the way of the Cross to eternal light.

On a pedestal to the right of St. Benedict is the poisoned cup, shattered when he made the sign of the cross over it. On a pedestal to the left is a raven about to carry away a loaf of poisoned bread that a jealous enemy had sent to St. Benedict. Above the cup and the raven are the Latin words: Crux S-Patris Benedicti. [The initials ( C.S.P.B.) are found on the other side of the medal in the angles of the Cross – see above.]

Round the margin is the inscription: Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur—“May his presence protect us in the hour of our death.”

Below St. Benedict we read: ex SM Casino MDCCCLXXX (from holy Monte Cassino, 1880).

THE POWER AND EFFECTS OF THE MEDAL

Let us state here that we do not ascribe any unknown or hidden power to the Medal, a power which the superstitious ascribe to their charms. We know wherein its power lies, and we protest that the graces and favors are due, not to the gold or the silver, the brass or aluminum of the Medal, but to our faith in the merits of Christ crucified, to the efficacious prayers of the holy Father St. Benedict, and to the blessings which the holy Church bestows upon the Medal and upon those who wear it. This Medal excludes every power or influence which is not from above.

Through the pious use of the Medal of St. Benedict thousands of miracles and wonderful cures have been obtained. We would here mention that in the last few years we have received a number of letters relating most remarkable cures and extraordinary favors obtained by the devout use of the said Medal. It is, indeed, edifying to see how that faithful love and venerate this highly blessed Medal and how anxious they are to obtain this holy article, which has proved to be a remedy to almost every evil.

The Medal of St. Benedict is powerful to ward off all dangers of body and soul coming from the evil spirit. We are exposed to the wicked assaults of the devil day and night. St. Peter says, “Your adversary the devil, as roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8). In the life of St. Benedict we see how the devil tried to do harm to his soul and body, and also to his spiritual children. Father Paul of Moll, saintly Flemish Benedictine wonder-worker (1824-1896), frustrated the evil doings of the spirit of darkness chiefly through the use of the Medal of St. Benedict, which has proved a most powerful protection against the snares and delusions of the old enemy. Missionaries in pagan lands use this Medal with so great effect that it has been given the remarkable name, “The devil-chasing Medal.”

The Medal is, therefore, a powerful means:

• To destroy witchcraft and all other diabolical influences.
• To keep away the spells of magicians, of wicked and evil-minded persons.
• To impart protection to persons tempted, deluded or tormented by evil spirits.
• To obtain the conversion of sinners, especially when they are in danger of death.
• To serve as an armor in temptations against holy purity.
• To destroy the effects of poison.
• To secure a timely and healthy birth for children.
• To afford protection against storms and lightning.
• To serve as an efficacious remedy for bodily afflictions and a means of protection against contagious diseases.

Finally, the Medal has often been used with admirable effect even for animals infected with plague or other maladies, and for fields when invaded by harmful insects.

THE USE OF THE MEDAL

It may be worn about the neck, attached to the scapular or the rosary, or otherwise carried devoutly about one’s person. For the sick it can be placed on wounds, dipped in medicine or in water which is given to them to drink.

The Medal is frequently put into the foundation of houses or in walls, hung over doors, or fastened on stables and barns to call down God’s protection and blessing. It is also buried in fields, as the saintly Father Paul of Moll advised his friends to do.

No particular prayers are prescribed, for the very wearing and use of the Medal is considered a silent prayer to God to grant us, through the merits of St. Benedict, the favors we request. However, for obtaining extraordinary favors, it is highly recommended to perform special devotions in honor of the holy Father St. Benedict, for instance, on Tuesday, on which day the Church commerates the death of the holy Patriarch. The Way of the Cross is also highly recommended or a novena to St. Benedict. His feast is celebrated March 21st, two days after the feast of St. Joseph.

PLENARY INDULGENCES

A plenary indulgence may be gained on the following feasts of Our Lord:

Christmas – Epiphany (Jan. 6)

Easter – Ascension

Pentecost – Trinity Sunday

Corpus Christi

On the following feasts of the Blessed Virgin:

Immaculate Conception (December 8)

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin (September 8)

Purification (Candlemas Day, February 2)

Annunciation (March 25)

Assumption (August 15)

Also, a plenary indulgence may be gained on the principal feasts of the Benedictine Order:

St. Maurus (January 15)

St. Scholastica (sister of St. Benedict, Feb. 10)

St. Benedict (March 21)

Dedication of the Basilica of Monte Cassino (October 1)

St. Placidus (October 5)

All Saints of our Order (November 13)

St. Gertrude (November 17)

A plenary indulgence on the feast of All Saints (November 1), once a year (at choice) and also at the hour of death.

For gaining all these plenary indulgences, the conditions required are: l) the wearing of the Jubilee Medal, 2) the usual Confession and Communion, 3) a visit to a church, 4) prayers for the Pope and for the conversion of sinners.

THE “TOTIES QUOTIES” INDULGENCE

A great privilege connected with the Jubilee Medal by the decree of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences, February 27, 1907 deserves special mention: the Toties Quoties plenary indulgence on All Souls’ Day, November 2.

By virtue of this decree, all who habitually wear the Jubilee Medal can gain a plenary indulgence for the Poor Souls in Purgatory as often as (toties quoties) they visit any Catholic church or public oratory and pray according to the intention of the Holy Father and receive the Sacraments either on All Saints’ or on All Souls’ Day. Where there is a Benedictine church within one mile of your own church, the visits must be made to the Benedictine church. One need leave the church for only a few minutes between visits.

This great indulgence for the Poor Souls may be gained from twelve o’clock noon on All Saints’ Day until twelve o’clock midnight on All Souls’ Day. For thirty-six hours you may gain as many plenary indulgences as you make visits. What a wonderful help for the Poor Souls!

ANOTHER PRIVILEGE

Those who devoutly wear the Medal of St. Benedict and pray for the propagation of his holy order share in all the good works, Masses, Communions, Divine Office, prayers and fasts of the entire Order.

St. Benedict Medal Prayer

May the intercession of the Blessed Patriarch and Abbot Benedict render Thee merciful unto us, O Lord, that what our own unworthiness cannot obtain, we may receive through his powerful patronage. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
(This prayer may be said when using the Medal for any pious purpose.)

Novena Prayer to St. Benedict

O glorious St. Benedict, sublime model of virtue, pure vessel of God’s grace! Behold me humbly kneeling at thy feet. I implore thee, in thy loving kindness, to pray for me before the throne of God. To thee do I have recourse in the dangers that daily surround me. Shield me against my selfishness and my indifference to God and to my neighbor. Inspire me to imitate thee in all things. May thy blessing be with me always, so that I may see and serve Christ in others and work for His kingdom.

Graciously obtain for me from God these favors and graces which I need so much in the trials, miseries and afflictions of life. Thy heart was always full of love, compassion and mercy toward those who were afflicted or troubled in any way. Thou didst never dismiss without consolation and assistance anyone who had recourse to thee. I therefore invoke thy powerful intercession, confident in the hope that thou wilt hear my prayers and obtain for me the special grace and favor I earnestly implore. (Name your petition.)

Help me, great St. Benedict, to live and die as a faithful child of God, to run in the sweetness of His loving will and to attain the eternal happiness of Heaven. Amen.

"... the tranny just dropped in the street. Whoops."

Here's hoping Hillary's tranny drops, too!

Doug, it's hard to ignore the traces of evidence you've gathered. Hard evidence has been overlooked many times before regarding the Clintons. I'm trying to keep the faith that justice will prevail.

[doug from upland]

- Hillary doesn't control the justice department

- Bill can't give pardons

- the mainstream media is discredited

- people are listening to us

- an actual criminal trial is underway

- Peter Paul's civil trial will have Hillary swearing to tell the truth

[Fruit of the Spirit]

"Peter Paul's civil trial will have Hillary swearing to tell the truth"

I don't think Hillary knows the meaning of the word "Truth"

[doug from upland]

We have lots of evidence. Gary Smith will be called. He was on the phone with Hillary negotiating his production fee for the concert. She knew that his fee alone was 800K. That was an in-kind contribution from Peter Paul.

[mcenedo]

It is truly unfortunte that the Newsweak debacle is taking air out of this story. It's hard to have enough outrage to go around. Can't the Libs spread out their scandals? Or is the plan to run them in groups (like Clinton did) to make you forget the latest outrage?

Whe it feels like nothing changes, someone like you comes along to give me hope.

Thanks!

[doug from upland]

This story will go on and on. Someday, Hillary will be in a courtroom defending herself against Peter's civil suit. That should be fun.

[Fruit of the Spirit]

"He was on the phone with Hillary negotiating his production fee for the concert."

Is Gary Smith in a position to deny that he ever negotiated with Hillary...in other words, is there a transcript or tape of that conversation?

[Libloather]

...whistleblower Peter Paul spent almost two million dollars of his own money on the gala Hollywood fundraiser in 2000.

Peter Paul was on Hannity's radio show about a month ago. If I heard Peter correctly, the reason HE'S having a cow is because if the loot wasn't correctly accounted for, it may make Peter Paul look like the sleazy one. I could be wrong.

[hoosiermama]

Have been looking for the latest news....Have you posted anything today on what's happening?

[doug from upland]

No transcript. Will he lie for Hillary? Who knows?
