On the eve of Pope Benedict XVI’s burial, Piero Laporta, a retired Italian brigadier general, published a stunning piece on his own blog.
This Catholic author, who previously lobbied to have Benedict participate (and influence) the controversial Synod on the Family some eight years ago, is now revealing that in the first weeks after the election of Joseph Ratzinger to the papal throne in 2005, an official of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) “was bragging about the resignation to which H.H. Benedict XVI of revered memory would soon be forced.”
If this story is true, however, “soon” would have to mean almost eight years, as that is the time it actually took for Benedict to resign.
Laporta is a retired brigadier general who worked for the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Italian Military, and since his retirement writes for multiple blogs and for different newspapers, collaborating with, among others, our colleague Marco Tosatti and his blog Stilum Curiae.
Laporta’s January 3 blog entry starts with the comment that he “shudders” at the publicly displayed “crocodile tears” by a representative of the community of San Egidio, in regards to Pope Benedict’s death.
In light of these tears, “memories pass before my eyes,” he added.
Laporta then revealed that there exists “a great Roman circle that is still active today,” that is more powerful than the so-called “Sankt Gallen group,” which has been historically opposed to Benedict.
Laporta further relayed that in 2005, “a leading delegate of the U.S. government, who had his hands in Italian finances (where he is still active) and in Italian politics,” and was “a figure in the highest ranks of the National Security Agency (NSA),” was “bragging about the resignation to which H.H. Benedict XVI of revered memory would soon be forced.”
This man, Laporta went on to say, spoke “with a nonchalance and with an arrogance” outside of his own circle about this matter.
This “Roman circle” was reportedly dedicated to the slogans “God is dead” and “Jesus is fake news,” and was in “panic” when Benedict was elected.
The “Sankt Gallen Mafia,” Laporta added, was “no joke,” but is a mere fig leaf compared to this “Roman circle” that Laporta refers to as a “dome of demons.”
According to the Italian general, it was this group who “isolated” Benedict, “leaving him alone while the nescionalsecuiritiagensi [NSA] goons scourged the truth, then crucified it.”
It is not known whether this man, who at the time reportedly worked for the U.S. government, actually played a role in the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. However, for the sake of discussing the fullest narrative of this historic resignation, it might be helpful to report on Laporta’s observations, making it a possible piece of the puzzle.
Another piece of this puzzle could be the fact that at the time of Benedict’s resignation in February of 2013, the Vatican Bank was unable to function, since it had been suddenly excluded from the SWIFT system and was thus incapable of performing necessary international transactions.
As Giuseppe Nardi of Katholisches.info reminds his readers today in his report on Laporta, Maurzio Blondet had discussed this matter in Italian, in 2015.
In light of Laporta’s blog post, Blondet, a Catholic journalist, quoted Laporta and said that it was wise that Laporta did “not disclose” the U.S. official’s name. He then re-posted his 2015 report titled “Ratzinger could neither buy nor sell,” which outlined the Vatican’s 2013 financial problems with the SWIFT system, thereby implying that he himself sees a link between Laporta’s report and this financial aspect of the history of Benedict’s resignation.
A third puzzle of the piece – which refers to the above-mentioned Sank Gallen Group – is that there might have been a conversation between Cardinal Carlo Martini and Benedict in 2012, in which the head of the Sankt Gallen group suggested to Benedict that it was time for him to resign. This story has been amply discussed by author Julia Meloni, which LifeSiteNews covered here.
Perhaps only future historians will be able to put together a fuller picture as to why a pope would resign, thus leaving the Church in the hands of modernists who are out to undermine the core of the Catholic Church’s doctrine and morals.
LifeSiteNews has reached out to Laporta to obtain further details, particularly as to why the NSA official would say that they would “soon” force him to resign, considering the alleged discussion took a place a full seven years before Benedict’s actual resignation.
This report will be updated if LifeSiteNews receives a reply.

It would seem that Benedict did not trust that God, who parted the Red Sea, could prevail against this evil attack on His Church.
I don’t pretend to have all pertinent information but it seems that the Holy Father went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came back, leaving his children to the abuses of a degenerate step-father.
This is serious business. Name that US official Gen.Laporta, or it didn’t happen.
Disgusting that our govt. is under demonic control now. I have to believe the Church can withstand these same forces, as Jesus Himself promised it would.
Benedict was in his mid-80s when he resigned. Give the guy a break. He also never wanted the job because he saw what the demonic forces could do a righteous Pope like JPII who was a vigorous man to begin with. Benedict knew his physical limitations and preferred to live a contemplative life in his later years.
Benedict’s resignation was illegitimate, Francis is not the Pope.
You have no idea why Benedict resigned but you equate his resignation with a father going “out for a pack of cigarettes and never (coming) back, leaving his children to the abuses of a degenerate step-father”.
I don’t feel well today and, thankfully, I caught myself before posting a now-deleted comment.
May you never suffer through being judged so harshly as you’ve judged Pope Benedict.
Correct; there is a lot more to this story than what we currently know. I always thought that he was threatened by Obama and the deep state.
In order for the New World Order to succeed, the Church must be taken down as the leader of Present Day culture for the World. Francis was elected to bring down the Church after Vatican II was in operation but did not expect the laity opposition. Now progressive religious leaders want the Church to change its position on Christ’s teachings and become more in line with progressive ideas. If they succeed Christ’s Church is nothing but an empty vacuum of teaching and will force Conservative Leaders of the Church to go underground. Why have a Church that makes up its own beliefs that is contrary to Christ’s teaching. There will be no Church without Christ.
I often wondered if President Barack Obama had a hand in the elevation of Francis...
God’s man replaced by Satan’s man, Satan always the counterfeiter.
Exactly. Don't be a coward - give details. Otherwise, you are actually doing harm, by creating unprovable theories, floating in the ether, that make people upset and disoriented without any direction to go in.
If the CIA were doing it, they would call it "disruption and disorientation."
The USA Dept of Treasury actually forced Benedict's "abdication" in 2013 by cutting of the Vatican and Vatican Bank from the SWIFT system. The Church's finances were completely frozen. The ostensible reason was Treasury was investigating "corruption and money laundering" in the Vatican Bank.
But lo and behold, SWIFT was turned back on the day after Benedict resigned (investigation over!), before Bergoglio was elevated - although everyone knew it would be Bergoglio to be chosen.
Yet another destructive "color revolution" conducted under the Hope and Change Hologram Obama.
Barry and Hillary, both of them.
Me thinks there is a damn good reason Biden was not invited to attend the funeral. Perhaps more than one.
“....Benedict knew his physical limitations and preferred to live a contemplative life in his later years.”
Perhaps you should revisit the parable of the three servants and tell me which one was Benedict.
“...May you never suffer through being judged so harshly as you’ve judged Pope Benedict.”
I loved and respected Benedict and felt he was the right man for the Church, and the world, to rally around in these increasingly demonic times. And he walked...
I have and will continue to pray for God to show mercy on him, but I have a deep and abiding anger over what he did. Pray for him, and me, because I know I need to forgive him to be able to ask for forgiveness for myself and I am failing badly on this one.
I will pray for you very much.
In return I’d like to ask a favor of you.
Please pray for me, for I am not able to forgive Bergoglio for the destruction he’s caused.
