CONTACT ME: Email: paranaughtica@gmail.com Twitter: @paranaughtica Facebook: The Paranaughtica PodcastKevin Annett, field Secretary of the International Common Law Court of Justice assisted by a: paramilitary group, peace officers, concerned citizens and Canadian police, recently arrested at least two members of a satanic cult known as the Ninth Circle. During the arrests, various pieces of evidence were discovered, which included: a satanic altar with blood on it, video’s of childen being abused and various torture devices. One of the people arrested testified that children were often brought to the suspects mansion and murdered in satanic rituals. The rituals took place in a secret underground satanic temple, under the suspects house in a prominent and wealthy part of Canada. Many witnesses have come forward and stated that the Jesuit General and present Jesuit white Pope, have been seen at the Ninth Circle Satanic cult ceremonies along with royalty, the mafia and other prominent people. ***If you’d like to help out with a donation and you’re currently listening on Spotify, you can simply scroll down on my page and you’ll see a button to help me out with either a one-time donation or you can set up a monthly recurring donation.

So, there's all that.
Before we dive into the story of today, though, I just wanted to do some, you know...
Twitter feed reading, right?
Yes, Twitter feed reading.
So, here's...
I got this one, alright.
Concerned Citizen says, our quotes, Why were we able to livestream the moon landing in 1969 but not in 2024?
And callers ask NASA obvious question.
NASA answers are truly laughable.
Quote, We had issues with file transfers.
Quote, Quote, we had a number of communication glitches.
Quote, it's very difficult to transmit on the fly, if you will.
End quote.
Concerned Citizen says, think.
All the advancements in technology over 55 years, and they couldn't do it, as in live stream the 2024 mission, but they could do it in 1969.
I mean, these are all great points that Bart Sabrell, who I interviewed a couple of weeks ago, you know, brought up.
So, why do you think they could do that?
Why do you think they could live stream NASA footage in 1969, but they couldn't do it in 2024?
Yeah. Anyway, moving on to the next one.
Let's see.
Whatever happened to Klaus Schwab?
We heard he went to the hospital.
I looked into it.
I couldn't find anything.
Obviously, all the fact checkers are saying it's false and he's healthy and this and that, but where is he?
Yeah, where is he?
So Isaac's army.
Alright, this is an interesting one.
Spanish model was invited to an elite party at a hotel in South America and comes out screaming that they are eating humans inside the party.
And yeah, there's video here.
So I'm going to turn this volume on.
Let's see.
I'm just using my phone here, so let's see.
Okay, so...
Alright, what she's saying is...
I'll restart this.
I will translate.
She says, They ate humans.
Disgusting. They ate humans.
As she's screaming outside of the hotel, I was not aware of anything.
I don't know if it was like that, but they had eaten humans.
Humans. So she seems to...
Okay, so in...
On August 4th, 2009, Mexican model Gabriela Rico Jimenez vanished after behaving erratically outside upscale Monterey Hotel Fiesta Inn.
She was ranting about ritual murders and cannibalism at this party.
So... Apparently, she's disappeared.
No one's ever seen her since.
And... Sorry, just reading these comments, see if I can find anything.
But... One person says they arrest her, because in the video the cops are arresting her because she's acting erratically, right?
So people suspect that they arrest her and just put her in an insane asylum or something like that, or just killed her, put her in prison, who knows?
Who knows?
So let's continue.
So Boris Johnson appears to be another one to officially join the Black Eye Club.
Although not quite sure what he has been initiated to, as you can count his IQ on one hand, but I am assuming as the court jester.
So he's got a black eye, and if you're not familiar with the Black Eye Club, look into it.
I mean, I've mentioned it numerous times in other episodes, but it's a real thing.
It's a real thing.
You see these politicians, you see these...
Actors, musicians, everybody in every genre of our humanity who are, like, famous, they all have a black eye at some point in their career, and, like, things change for them, you know?
Things are different.
So, yeah, look into that shit.
Alright, we'll see what else we have here.
Oh, yeah.
Reverend Ray Sistman.
Reverend Ray Sistman, who is just a cis, not a man.
He is...
He's something else.
He's a racial baiter.
He hates white people.
He's one of the most racist people I've ever seen on Twitter.
Reverend Ray Sistman, everybody.
Go look at his stuff.
He's racist as fuck.
And he just blames white people for being racist.
But holy crap, the stuff he says is just crazy.
But he did post a video of this black kid who is showing off his pistol, his Glock, and the dumb motherfucker puts it to his head and pulls the trigger and blows his brains out.
And I'm sure Reverend Sisman blames the white man for that as well.
So, anyway.
Not cool.
Not cool.
I don't know.
What is this?
There's like a huge influx of all these.
And it's happened for a long time.
I mean, I've seen it.
I'm sure many have seen this.
But people just like to show off their weapons.
You know, both black, white, Mexican, whatever.
Doesn't matter.
But people show off their guns and they end up shooting themselves.
And then they post the videos.
And it's just ridiculous.
But... Let's see what else we have here.
Army veteran punches man in the face at sports game for breaking a minute of silence for fallen soldiers.
Legit. Legit.
I back that up for sure.
People are just so disrespectful, man.
People just are not considered anymore.
People just don't give a shit, and that's what's going to destroy everything.
If we don't fucking keep our heads on our fucking shoulders, man, we're done for.
We are done for.
Street fight.
Dude, just...
Giving leg kicks.
Leg kicks.
He knows what's up.
Leg kick, leg kick.
This is a street fight.
So this guy watches MMA for sure.
MMA. Billie Eilish putting something...
She's deep-throating a guitar.
Like the head of a guitar where you tune it.
So, I mean, Billie Eilish is...
She's fucked up in the head, man.
She's got issues.
Big-time issues.
Big time issues.
A guy rolls a tire down a huge-ass hill, which is pretty fucking aesthetic.
I mean, how could he not like that?
We just hope that he picks it up.
I mean, it bounds.
Well, that's pretty insane.
That's pretty insane.
Clear as a river.
Holy crap.
All right, moving on.
An old Muslim man with his new wife, and the girl is no more than 8 years old.
Iran's president, Abraham Raisi, is likely dead after a helicopter crash in Azerbaijan.
People are being assassinated left and right.
We've seen it in Saudi Arabia.
We see car accidents happening.
Yeah, he's dead.
Confirmed dead.
Iran's president.
Racy has been confirmed dead.
By the time you guys hear this, it's old news because this is going to come out for like two weeks.
Men love sex until they meet a female who likes to fuck six times a day.
Not true.
My girlfriend loves to fuck more than six times a day.
It's hard, but I don't hate it.
I'm not like, why am I with you?
You know?
What else do we have here?
A very overdone steak.
No thank you.
No thank you.
Get out of here with overdone steaks.
You're insane.
Three Americans are accused of being involved.
Okay, Colin Rugg posts this just in.
Three Americans are accused of being involved in a failed coup attempt in Congo that left multiple people dead, according to the Democratic Republic of Congo Military.
They stopped an attempted coup near the presidential palace.
Among the 50 people who were involved were three Americans who have been arrested.
A passport for one of these Americans is now spreading online.
36-year-old U.S. citizen born in Maryland.
U.S. Ambassador to Congo Lucy Tamlin has acknowledged the involvement of U.S. citizens in a recent statement.
The coup was allegedly led by U.S.-based Congolese politician Christian Malanga.
He was killed at the presidential palace after he resisted arrest.
So, here we have Operation Gladio happening.
So, if you haven't listened to my Operation Gladio episode, I encourage you strongly to go listen to that because what happens all over the world, this type of thing, it's all Operation Gladio.
CIA has their shit deep in it.
So, what we see just now, same with Iran, with the president being assassinated.
This is all Operation Gladio stuff.
All of it.
Fake eyelashes.
Yeah, that whole thing with Marjorie Taylor Baxter.
I liked Marjorie Baxter from Salad Fingers.
Marjorie Taylor Baxter from Salad Fingers or whatever her name is.
Marjorie Taylor Greene when they were doing that thing and her and AOC went off on each other.
That was pretty awesome.
Pretty awesome.
I do wish it was longer and we got to see more because that was just a show.
What a show.
That's what I want to be seeing.
I want to see some fucking real shit happen.
I want to see fists fly, and I want to see shit happen.
You know what I mean?
Like, fuck, dude.
Nothing else works.
So these politicians need to fight to the death.
We'll put them in the ring.
You know?
Let's see.
I think...
I don't know.
Let's do one more.
I don't know.
Let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see.
Kim.com.
Let's hope that Israel has not gone to this extreme.
The timing of this event shortly after the recent clash between Israel and Iran is suspicious.
It's well known that Netanyahu wants to jod the U.S. into a war with Iran.
If Raisi is dead and Israel is blamed, this could do it.
So, yeah.
Also, I know that, what's his name?
Alex Jones is also talking about how this assassination.
of Iran president may just lead us finally into World War III because the Ukraine thing, Russian thing, Israel thing, Palestinian thing, it's all just a shit show.
Anyway, let's just get into this because, yeah, we've had enough.
Let's just get into this shit.
Enough of the fucking doomsday scrolling of Twitter, you know what I mean?
Alright, so today we are talking about the Ninth Circle of Satan.
So, since the time of the ancient Sumerians, the highest level elites, the ruling class, have belonged to a satanic cult that has been known as the Ninth Circle.
The ruling class, or the elite, as they are often referred to, are high-ranking officials and so-called royalty, and they believe that they can do whatever they want without consequence because they see themselves as being above us and above the law.
It's almost like they have a law just for them, which is just non-existent.
The phrase prima nacta is based on the Latin first night, which is a shortened and corrupted phrase stemming from just prima nactis, meaning It generally refers to an ancient tradition in which all noble lords,
whether kings or dukes, had the right to have sex with any of their female subjects, regardless of their consent or lack thereof, and even with a virgin bride on her wedding night, which was like, they liked that.
They liked to do that.
You know, why not?
Make the guy a cuck.
This was actually portrayed in the movie Braveheart with Mel Gibson, who's been blacklisted from Hollywood for years now, for his outspoken views on the dark side of Hollywood, particularly about the elite pedophilia in the entertainment industry.
But the Ninth Circle is an elitist satanic order who ritualistically torture, rape, and sacrifice children, all with the protection of three-letter agencies.
The ancient secret cult controls all sorts of religious organizations, other cult orders, and various branches of the Freemasons, among many other factions and groups within.
It includes representatives of filthy rich psychopaths, such as icons within entertainment, television, radio, church leaders, scientists, lawyers, doctors, the counterculture, and the global network of political actors.
Representatives of the Ninth Circle of Satan have performed countless child sacrifices because, as they believe, they can strengthen their stranglehold over the people since at least the ancient times of Sumer.
Historical evidence, modern eyewitness testimonies, as well as documents and investigations, which were repeatedly covered and published in the mainstream media and on the internet, including those collected thanks to the Canadian priest and writer Kevin Annette.
On how, in different countries, these world elite have subjected uncountable children to severe abuses, rapes, and murders.
They use children as live targets and trophies and kill them by sacrificing them to their holy master, Shatan or Satan.
The highest representatives of the Catholic Church and military and the world elite have all taken part in the ritualistic child sacrifices as it's sort of mandatory.
These unconscionable sociopaths have a demonic right known as the magisterial privilege, which involves the ceremonial murder of newborn children and the drinking of their blood.
So this is really interesting because it really makes you think about...
Why there's such a huge push for abortions and then what happens to those aborted fetuses and what happens to placentas and umbilical cords.
You know what I mean?
Which, just look into that because, I mean, I even posted this news article or I talked about a news article some weeks ago or months ago.
The shipping containers that were found that were just like, no one was doing anything with these shipping containers.
They opened them up and they were full of umbilical cords and dead fetuses.
Just utterly disgusting.
I wonder what ever happened to that.
Anyway, and I'm sure we've all heard about Adrenochrome by now, but if not, you can do a simple search, or you can go check out my three-part on Comic Ping Pong, episodes 53 through 55. Anyway, Chief Prosecutor for the International Court of Justice would say this,
quote, Vatican documents clearly indicate that for centuries the Jesuits had a premeditated plan to ritually kidnap and murder newborn babies, and then consume their blood.
The plan was born of a twisted notion to derive spiritual power from the lifeblood of the innocent, thereby assuring political stability of the papacy in Rome.
These acts are not only genocidal, but systemic and institutionalized in nature.
Since at least 1773, they appear to have been performed by the Roman Catholic Church, Jesuits and every Pope.
End quote.
We all know that there is a pandemic of missing children all throughout the world.
Where are they disappearing to?
Actually, the better question is, who's taking them?
Because they don't just disappear, and they don't just evaporate or zap out of existence.
In the vast majority of cases, they are being abducted by someone or a group of someones.
Just go look up the Finders Group, which was a CIA operation where they systematically kidnapped children, bought children, and sold children.
It was an international clandestine operation, and it was found out about and covered up.
I also did an episode on that, so go check that out as well.
But there are about 800,000 children that go missing in the United States alone each year.
Just the U.S. Internationally, the number of missing children is somewhere around 8 million.
8 million.
So, who controls the statistics on missing children?
Well, that would be the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, of course.
And who runs that?
Well, let's see.
In 1984...
The United States Congress established the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, NCMEC, and as part of Missing Children's Assistance Reauthoration Act of 2013, they received $40 million to study and track missing and trafficked children in the United States.
That number has likely increased, but think about that for a second, what I just said there.
They track missing and trafficked children.
Okay? They are tracking them.
Now, what does that mean exactly?
Because words actually tend to mean a lot.
It's sort of why we make them words.
We give them meaning.
And so to say tracking them instead of, I don't know, maybe like rescuing them or searching for them, it's sort of speaking volumes, which seems to go over most people's head.
And keep in mind, these people love to tell us exactly what they are doing.
is kind of their way to avoid the karma clause, where they essentially get the public's permission by Jedi-minding everyone, which they believe clears them of any wrongdoing, which to them means that they can avoid any karmic retribution and the wrath of God once they
pass for their aberrant actions.
So, you have to listen to their language, because it kind of says a lot.
Anyway. On April 23, 1999, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sponsored the launch of Hillary Clinton's worldwide project against international child abduction, which took place at the British Embassy and was hosted by the British Ambassador,
Sir Christopher Meyer, and his wife, Lady Meyer.
The project was named International Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or ICMEC.
The then First Lady, Hillary Clinton, and Cherry Booth, the wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, were the principal guest speakers, which must have been absolutely enthralling to be in attendance.
People like Richard Branson, whose Necker Island is very close to Jeffrey Epstein's old island, Petto Island, where people such as Hillary and Hillary Clinton would visit.
Well, he, Richard Branson, is on the board of directors for ICMEC, and that should raise some eyebrows.
He's also close friends with a lot of people who have frequented Epstein's Island, including Bill Gates and Obama.
Someone else who sits on the board of directors with close ties to the Clintons is a guy named Jeff Koons, who people like James Elephantis of Comet Ping Pong and his ex-boyfriend and Washington, D.C. insider David Brock buy art from.
And we've all seen their art, right?
Kind of weird.
Weird connections.
So, here you have it.
The two leading centers, as far as the public is aware, that are supposed to be finding, rescuing, and protecting missing children.
And the boards of directors for those two centers just so happen to consist of people who are known to be involved in child trafficking.
In 2017, NCMEC assisted law enforcement with over 27,000 cases of missing children who they said the majority were considered to be endangered runaways.
According to their most recent report compiled from FBI data and their own, of the nearly 25,000 runaways reported by NCMEC in 2017, one in seven were likely victims of child sex trafficking.
Of those, 88% were in the care of social services when they went missing.
So, raises some eyebrows.
Other governmental organizations have corroborated this horrifying fact.
In a 2013 70s city nationwide raid conducted by the FBI, 60% of the victims came directly from foster care or group homes.
In 2014, New York authorities estimated that 85% of sex trafficking victims were in the child welfare system.
In 2012, Connecticut police alone rescued 88 children from sex trafficking.
86 of them were from the child welfare system.
So I think there's a pretty obvious pattern, which continues today and hasn't slowed down at all.
Equally as disturbing as the fact that most children who are sex trafficked come from within the system designed to protect and help them is the fact that in a 2014 nationwide raid, the FBI discovered that many of the foster children who were kidnapped,
some as young as 11, were never reported missing by child welfare authorities.
How does that happen?
How do the child welfare authorities not report missing children who they were responsible for at the end of the day?
It doesn't make sense, does it?
The Kansas Department for Children and Families, which oversees foster care in the state, were found to have lost 70 children in 2017 after a high-profile case of three missing sisters garnered the attention of authorities.
One terrifying example of kids being unnecessarily taken from the parents by the state only to be severely harmed in government custody comes out of Arizona.
The state kidnapped a five-year-old girl named Devani from her mother who had an alleged substance abuse problem and put her directly into the hands of a leader of a child sex ring.
Even after the girl's mother recovered from her addiction, The state refused to return her daughter to her.
Even worse, the mother found out that her daughter was being repeatedly sexually abused and no action was taken to remove her daughter from the state's system.
Instead of removing the poor girl from the sexual abuse and reuniting her with her biological mother, she was placed into another horrifying nightmare.
Devani was then given to a woman named Samantha Osteris.
And after staying with Ostrus for only a few months, Devani would almost be killed.
According to the complaint, quote, Jane Doe, who is Devani, suffered severe burns over 80% of her body.
When the police arrived, there was blood on the floor and pieces of Jane Doe's skin were falling off of her body.
There were bruises to her neck and arms, along with other signs of trauma.
Devani was put into a medically induced coma, suffering from organ failure.
She lost her toes to amputation.
And will undergo lifelong operations to replace 80% of the skin on her body and will need incredible amounts of care for the duration of her life as the result of the abuse she suffered in an ostracist's home.
End quote.
Again, how does that happen?
It's pretty fucking insane.
And going from there, let's listen to this audio clip from Tara Lee Rodas, who is a former Health and Human Services employee who testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement on April 26,
2023. It was a hearing on the disastrous monstrosity that is the Biden administration's border policy that continues to ravish this country throughout at least 49 of the 50 states.
Which is kind of funny, right?
Like, okay, Roberto, look, I'm sorry to inform you, fellow insurgent, you have to go to Hawaii.
Everyone else is going north, but you, buddy, sorry, man, you're gonna have to go to Hawaii.
And George Soros didn't send money for your airfare.
Or a boat, sorry.
But, uh, send us a postcard.
Seriously though, is Hawaii off-limits from illegal immigration?
Are they going to Hawaii?
Is Hawaii being flooded with immigrants?
Why not?
That's where I would go.
If I was an immigrant trying to get to the United States, I would be like, I'm going to Hawaii.
Fuck all you guys.
But keep in mind that all of that is part of the elite's plan to create the agreement between the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada.
Otherwise known as the USMCA.
So, it's all part of the plan, man.
It's all part of the looming one world order that will come once Freemasons Albert Pike's three world wars plan is accomplished.
Which is when, quote unquote, Islam, the Muslim Arabic world, and political Zionism, the state of Israel, mutually destroy each other.
End quote.
It's coming to fruition.
Now, the main points of this hearing by Ms. Rodas at the House Judiciary Committee were, one, sophisticated trafficking network, two, labor trafficking, three, indigenous children, and four, missing children.
And now, let's listen to that clip.
It's pretty short, but it is scathing.
Here are our final witnesses.
Ms. Rodas is recognized for five minutes.
Good afternoon, Chairman McClintock, Ranking Member DePaul, and distinguished members of the committee.
It is an honor to be here.
I thank you for the invitation to share my testimony.
My goal is to inspire action to safeguard the lives of migrant children, including the staggering 85,000 that are missing.
Children will work overnight shifts at slaughterhouses, factories, restaurants to pay their debts to smugglers and traffickers.
Today, children will be sold for sex.
Today, children will call a hotline to report they are being abused, neglected, and trafficked.
And we don't know if they're going to get the help they need.
For nearly a decade, unaccompanied children have been suffering in the shadows.
And I have to confess, I knew nothing about their suffering until 2021 when I volunteered to help the Biden administration with the crisis at the southern border.
As part of Operation Artemis, I was deployed to the Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site in California to help HHS, Office of Refugee Resettlement, reunite children with sponsors
I thought I was going to help place children in loving homes.
I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with recruiting in home country, smuggling to the US border, and ends when ORR delivers a child to a sponsor.
Some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of transnational criminal organizations.
Some sponsors view children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income.
This is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking.
Now, whether it's intentional or not, it could be argued that the United States government has become the middleman in a large-scale, multi-billion dollar child trafficking operation that is run by bad actors seeking to profit off of the lives of children.
As for me, my interest is the safety of the children.
I do not view this as a political issue.
I view this as a humanitarian issue.
I assure you my motives are the highest and best.
I want the children protected.
So I want to tell you some of what I witnessed personally at the Pomona Fairplex.
I saw vulnerable indigenous children from Guatemala who speak Mayan dialects and cannot speak Spanish.
That means they cannot ask for help in English.
They cannot ask for help in Spanish.
They become captives of their sponsors.
I have sat with case managers as they've cried to tell me the horror of what has happened to children as they make the journey to this country.
I saw apartment buildings where 20, 30, and 40 unaccompanied minors have been released.
I saw sponsors trying to simultaneously sponsor children from multiple ORR sites at one time.
I saw sponsors using multiple addresses to obtain sponsorships of children.
And I saw numerous cases of children in debt bondage.
And the child knew they had to stay with the sponsor until the debt was paid.
Realizing that we were not offering the children the American dream, but instead putting them in modern-day slavery.
With wicked overlords.
It was a terrible revelation.
A terrible revelation.
These children are a captive victim population with no access to law enforcement or knowledge of their rights.
They are extorted, abused, neglected.
And that is why I blew the whistle in 2021.
I witnessed firsthand the horrors of child trafficking and exploitation.
My life will never be the same after what I saw.
But I have hope.
Because I'm counting on you.
It's my hope that you'll take action to end this crisis, to safeguard the lives of these vulnerable children.
People have asked me, you know, what can be done?
What would you suggest?
Well, first, I think HHS's number one priority is oversight.
They must commit to oversight, transparency, and accountability.
If I could wave a magic wand, this, I believe, could be quickly solved by experts in the IG community.
There is a Pandemic Analytics Center of Excellence
or the PACE, as we call it.
I believe if data analysts at the PACE could look at the data, children could be rescued, criminals could be prosecuted if the PACE had access to this data.
It shows where the children are and who has them.
I think also...
We need to change the culture of speed over safety.
Speed is the wrong performance measure when dealing with children.
We need to revamp the vetting process of sponsors and have case managers who have investigative backgrounds, data analytics backgrounds, certified fraud examiners.
And I think we need to reimagine a system where the sponsor is the accountable party.
Sponsors should be required to report to ORR.
And lastly, stop retaliating against whistleblowers.
Stop retaliating against the people who are trying to tell the truth to save the children.
As it is written, a wise man listens to advice while a fool continues in his folly, and HHS needs to be wise to care for these children.
Thank you very much.
And so now let's get to the Ninth Circle Statists.
In late 2014, several reports revealed the existence of a child death cult called the Ninth Circle, composed of European elite who were engaged in horrendous child trafficking.
A huge part of their crimes included having human hunting parties on their vast estates where the kidnapped children were drugged, stripped naked, tortured, raped, and then hunted down by horseback, or by loose dogs.
The European nobility and their guests would also ritually murder children and were known to drink their victims' blood.
Some accounts say that they also enjoyed cannibalism and ate parts of their offerings, as they were quoted as saying, to the demonic deities that they revere so much.
Some call it Baal, others call it Moloch, but it goes by many names.
Several witnesses who survived their ordeals came before the Brussels International Common Law Court of Justice, or the ICLCJ, in the fall of 2014.
And now really quick here, a lot of people don't give credit to this court, but it's legit.
It is a legit court.
People need to just look into that because it's a legit world court.
Five judges and 27 jury members weighed the evidence presented to them.
The mandate of the ICLCJ is twofold.
1. To lawfully prosecute those people and institutions responsible for the exploitation, trafficking, torture, and murder of children, past and present, and 2. To stop these and other criminal actions by church and state,
including by disestablishing those same institutions.
Sworn to tell the truth, witnesses recounted their individual stories, which each corroborated the others, and related that child sacrifices occurred regularly in places such as the Vatican, where the catacombs of numerous
Catholic cathedrals were on private estates and private groves, and at government military bases in Belgium, Holland, Spain,
And the children...
came from detention centers in Belgium and Holland, according to a former member of Octopus, which was a Netherlands criminal drug cartel.
Now, one woman gave this testimony before the court.
Quote, End
quote. It was also said that the deceased boys' penises would be cut from their bodies and placed on the wall of a palace in the Dutch countryside to be displayed like trophies.
This was corroborated by numerous victims.
And in the Netherlands, ex-Queen Beatrice's palace was identified as one of the hunting grounds.
Now, the following comes from the book Pedophilia and Empire, Satan, Sodomy, and the Deep State by Joachim Hagapian, who is an expert in such matters.
Quote, I witness Anne-Marie von Blischenberg's account.
forced to observe ritual child killings by her mafia husband whose crime family sponsored them for sexual blackmail, where a Queen Beatrix charity program dispatched Dutch kids from youth detention centers to be ritually sacrificed.
Anne Marie maintains that the following VIP notables were invited blood sacrifice participants.
The late second son of Prince Klaus and Queen Beatrix, Prince Johan Friso and his wife, Mabel Lissie-Smith, herself a former girlfriend of the 1991 murdered Dutch mobster drug kingpin Klaus Bruinsma, George Soros,
Dutch President Mark Rutte, Head of Parliament Gert Wilders, former Justice Minister Pyatt Hein Donner, and former Justice Minister Bilderberger Ernst Hirsch Ballen.
These fucking names.
All are Luciferian black male Dutch representatives from the International Crime Cabal Circuit.
End quote.
It's said that Queen Beatrix's own mother, Queen Juliana, was raped and impregnated by her own father, the consort Prince Hendrik.
Bilderberg founder and father of Queen Beatrix...
Prince Bernhard was a principal figure in the Gladio Stay Behind Network following World War II.
Again, go check that episode out.
He was given assistance by the CIA and NATO through his 1001 Club.
Bernhard was born in 1912 and is a cousin-in-law of Kaiser Wilhelm's sister, Princess Victoria of Hohenzelern.
Yeah, Hohenzelern.
In 1934, at the University of Berlin, he was recruited to Nazi intelligence and eventually assigned to IG Farben, which is the chemical giant which maintained very close business ties to Britain's imperial chemical industries throughout the war and produced the Zyklon B gas used in the gas chambers.
Because of his Nazi links, Bernhard's marriage to Queen Juliana of the House of Orange created a scandal throughout the Netherlands.
But the 1001 Club is a quote-unquote wildlife fund where only 1001 elite assholes are admitted at any particular time.
And it's by invite only, of course.
People say it was designed specifically to hunt endangered animals, which sounds more likely.
Bernhard is also a co-creator of the WWF.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, can we turn this off?
Oh, man.
No. No.
No. No, no, no, no, no.
Not the World Wrestling Federation.
The World Wildlife Fund.
Yeah, exactly.
The same WWF that was caught funding, equipping, and working with paramilitary forces accused of beating, torturing, sexually assaulting, and murdering scores of people in national parks across Africa and Asia in the years preceding 2017.
So, yeah.
And also, the WWF is a horrible fucking group of people.
The fund is not what people think it is.
So, maybe his 1001 club was meant for something else entirely, right?
Now, it's going to get crazy.
It's going to get really dark and twisted.
So, Dutch therapist and ritualistic abuse survivor, Tus Nijianhui.
I don't know how to pronounce her last name.
It's crazy.
N-I-J-E-N-H-U-I-S would later say that at age four, she was forced to witness child murders where she identified former Pope Joseph Ratzinger,
a.k.a.
Benedict XVI, a Dutch Catholic cardinal, Dutch Crown Prince Alfrink Bernhard.
And the founder of Bilderberger, who was also the father of the Netherlands' Queen Beatrix.
Another witness would come forward and confirm Toos' story.
This witness corroborated by stating, quote, It was ugly, horrible, and didn't happen just once.
Ratzinger and Bernhard were some of the more prominent men who took part.
End quote.
And there's actually a videotaped interview or deposition with Tuz Nienwes that can be found on YouTube.
It's about two and a half hours long and very detailed.
And I'll put a link in the show notes because it's actually very hard to find.
Everyone should know that the government agencies with Google and YouTube and all these groups have attempted and...
Succeeded in many cases to wipe the internet of a lot of evidence that condemns these Ely people.
I'll put a link in the show notes.
Another witness by the name of Fiona Barnett would also come forward with her own shocking stories in regard to the cult from when she was a child, which I'll get to a little later.
And adding to all of that, numerous publications not owned by the mega-media neocons would publish articles about 34 mass graves specifically containing children that were found in Ireland, Spain, and Canada.
And in fact, the mainstream media did actually publish some of this, which is interesting.
The ninth Circle Satan Child Sacrifice cult was tied to the disappearance of an estimated 50,000 Canadian Native Indian children.
The grave sites have been found among the 80 residential schools run by the Canadian government, the British Crown, and the Catholic Church, and the United States, and Anglican Church officials.
The largest of the discovered mass child graves is located at the Mohawk Indian Residential School in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
During an archaeological dig in 2008, the skeletal remains of 215 children would be discovered, but before more could be uncovered, those in charge would decide to put an immediate stop to the work for reasons unknown.
The ICLCJ would make numerous requests to further excavate the mass grave sites, but all requests have been denied at the highest levels.
But that didn't stop the International Common Law Court of Justice from pursuing their own legal recourse.
In 2013, the ICLCJ court found Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip of England guilty for the disappearance of 10 Native children from the Catholic residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia on October 10,
1964, and an order for their arrest was issued.
Look it up.
2013, the ICLCJ, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip of England, 10 native children disappearing from Kamloops, British Columbia.
Just look it up.
Official documents can be found on their website as well, and I will put a link in the show description for anyone interested.
So let's get into Kamloops.
In Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, the remains of 215 children were found buried at the site of a local residential school.
The discovery was made by the...
I'm going to butcher this, but I'm going to try it.
By the...
I'm sorry.
I'm just going to say the discovery was made by the First Nation with the help of a ground penetrating radar specialist.
The local school is called the Kamloops Indian Residential School, and it was in operation between the years of 1890 to 1969.
And it was at that point, 1969, that the federal government took over the administration from the Catholic Church to operate it as a residence for a day school, until finally closing its doors in 1978.
Indigenous children were forcefully taken from their parents and indoctrinated into Euro-Canadian and Christian ways of living.
The so-called goal on paper was to assimilate them into mainstream Canadian society.
How thoughtful, you know?
Children in these schools were subjected to hard labor.
They were physically abused, sexually abused, and murdered.
These children were also subjected to many medical and nutritional experiments, presumably done in part with funding by the Rockefellers, who were in the 1001 Club.
The story was truly brought to light when the aforementioned Kevin Annette, the Canadian writer and former minister of Port Alberny United Church in British Columbia, became aware of allegations of sexual abuse and other cruelties being inflicted by the people of the United States.
Interestingly, former Kamloops School resident William Combs died after a 2010 radio interview Where he discussed witnessing Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip leave the school with his ten friends and fellow Kamloops residents.
Directly after that interview, the Healthy Combs was ordered to report for tests at the Vancouver St. Paul's Catholic Hospital, and it was there that he was given an injection that put him into a coma.
Within hours, and without consent of his family members, Combs was permanently pulled off of life support.
So, I don't know.
Make of that what you will, but it's not the first time that the super elite murdered someone after that person exposed them for doing some heinous shit to other human beings.
Incredibly, the missing Canadian children are also linked to McGill University in Montreal, where the United States Central Intelligence Agency worked closely with Dr. Donald Ewan Cameron.
To run some mind control experiments as part of MKUltra.
According to the Christian Observer, quote, Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the president of the Canadian, American, and World Psychiatric Associations, Donald Ewan Cameron, began torturing children in an MKUltra program at McGill
University in the early 1950s.
By 1964, U.S. congressional inquiries supposedly ended MKUltra after a successful lawsuit against Cameron and McGill University by mind control survivor.
End quote.
But in the same year of 2013, when the ICLCJ found Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip of England guilty for crimes against children and issued an order for their arrest, they also found Pope Ratzinger, or Benedict XVI, guilty of crimes against humanity.
I mean, he was one of the kids in Hitler's youth, but with that aside, he resigned in November 2013, being the first pope in 600 years to step down from the position.
According to the New Yorker, he was neck deep in a sizzling international sex abuse scandal and authorized spending millions of dollars to defend some of the worst pedophilic priests in modern history.
The following year, in August 2014, the ICLCJ would find Pope Francis guilty of child trafficking.
Pope Francis Jorge Mario Bergoglio was issued an arrest warrant for his role in the trafficking and death of children.
The order called for an immediate apprehension of Bergoglio as a convicted felon and threat to the safety of children.
Police planned to enforce the warrant at a World Council of Churches event in Geneva, Switzerland, where he was set to address the assembly.
The warrant was recognized by Interpol authorities as well as various judicial and police agencies in Spain, America, Russia, and Serbia.
The ICLJ would publicly announce the following, And to look into the matter...
You can look up ICLCJ case docket number 06182014-001 in the matter of The People vs.
Bogoglio Bachan Welby et al.
18 July 2014.
While the legacy media ignored all of this, as they do best, over 48 witnesses testified before six international judges that the Vatican was paid to funnel children through church leaders, businessmen, politicians, and other elites, including members of European royal families.
Two younger women told the ICLCJ that Pope Francis raped them while participating in child sacrifices during the springs of 2009 and 2010 in rural Holland and Belgium.
According to a former employee of the Curia in Rome, rapes and murders of children also took place at the Carnarvon Castle in Wales and an undisclosed French chateau.
A prosecutor introduced notarized affidavits by eight others claiming to witness these same crimes organized by the Vatican.
Another witness testified that they were present during meetings with the then-Argentine Bishop Francis, who was also in the Militaria Junta during Argentina's 1970s dirty war.
There is no doubt that he was there while human rights violations were being carried out in the forms of rapes, murders, and all-out massacres where people were lined up and executed.
He was there, he saw it, and he was apparently part of it.
In their attempts to get information from captured families, various torture methods were used to intimidate and extract that information, including electric shocks, prolonged immersion in water, cigarette burns, sexual abuse, rape, removal of teeth and fingernails, castration,
and burning with boiling water, hot oil, and acid.
According to the witness, Francis helped traffic 30,000 children of missing political prisoners into the Vatican satanic pedophile ring.
Some of those children were believed to be buried in a mass gravesite in Spain, which the government, or whoever, Refuse to be excavated.
The ICLCJ has offered amnesty to any citizen or employee of the Vatican, the Crown of England, the churches, and governments who provide sworn testimony or other evidence to prosecute other practicing Satanist global elites.
At the time, possible rewards of up to $13,600 or 10,000 euros were also used to encourage more exposure of this ghastly group.
So, I mean, they were like, give us information, we'll give you 10,000 euros, just tell us real information to get these people prosecuted.
In 2018, the Brussels court received Vatican documents dated December 25th, 1967, that state that before each new pope assumes office, it is mandatory that they participate in Ninth Circle Rites, which includes that magisterial privilege,
as I mentioned earlier.
According to witnesses testifying at the international court trial, the former Pope Ratzinger has been a member of Ninth Circle, also known as the Corona Novum or Crown, since at least 1962.
Two child abuse survivors reported attending child murder rights specifically in the catacombs beneath the Vatican.
At the tender age of 12, a very outspoken survivor of these rituals who goes by the pseudonym Svali, And lives in San Diego County, said she was taken into the catacombs beneath the Vatican to witness the sacrifice of a three- or four-year-old native boy who had been drugged.
And it's pretty interesting because 24 years prior, a woman named Maria also claimed to have witnessed a satanic murder right in the same Vatican catacombs.
Two other eyewitnesses would also testify that, as children, they were present during a different sacrifice.
They would say that they saw a young girl being bound to an altar.
The five or six-year-old child was gagged, repeatedly raped, killed, disemboweled, and then dismembered before her blood was consumed by nine red-robed figures that included a member of the British royal family.
Considering that the International Court has found the Popes and Vatican guilty of child exploitation, it might explain why the Vatican has made such an effort to cover up all of the child sexual abuse, right?
As of November 12, 2013, and with an estimated 10% of victims reporting, there were a documented 10,077,574
known survivors of Catholic abuse across the globe who have come forward.
With Catholic authorities refusing to cooperate with investigations and settling a few cases out of court, only a handful of Catholic church perpetrators have seen the inside of a jail cell.
The new evidence for the Brussels court has been translated from Latin and entered into case records of the Citizen Prosecutor's Office.
As reported at the ITCCS website,
Furthermore, a court document had been filed indicating that in January of 2012,
UK Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, acted under the direction of Queen Elizabeth to destroy forensic remains of a Ninth Circle child homicide.
The ITCCS began a second prosecution on global elite members of the Ninth Circle.
Five international judges and 27 jury members were scheduled to hear the testimony of at least 16 adult survivors who have come forward to expose their witness to child kidnapping and murder.
The court's secretary from Brussels and the ITCCS made these statements.
Quote, End quote.
And so, for those who don't know, if...
If someone or the state or whoever files a charge or something to suit against somebody in a court and that court finds merit in that case and they set a hearing to discuss that court case, if the other party does not show up,
then basically the court will grant the side that issued the motions or charges or whatever because the other person just did not show up to court.
They only have one side of the story, so what is the court going to go off of?
That's kind of how that works.
Anyway, the announcement came as the headline to respond to a common law court summons had come to pass without any communication from the primary defendants, those being Pope Francis, Jorge Bergoglio, Jesuit Superior General Adolfo Pechon,
and Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
The court secretary, George de Fort, from Brussels, is quoted as saying, quote, Their silence is very telling and extremely important, legally.
End quote.
He also says, quote, Our prosecutor's office has the power now to proceed with its case and waive the normal examination procedure since the defendants are not disputing the charges and are thereby tacitly admitting the guilt.
The court magistrates will enter a plea of no low contendia by the defendants into the court record and have every right to rule against them in their absence.
Francesco Zanardi of the ITCCS affiliate Rete della Abuso in Savona, Italy, said in an interview, We know from several cardinals that Pope Francis is a caretaker figure who is not actually the Pope.
It's all been a huge deception.
Francis doesn't wear the papal ring and live in a convent in Rome, not in the Vatican.
He is given no official security and wonders about like a private individual, and makes policy statements which the Curia of Cardinals then disavow, saying Francis doesn't reflect church doctrine.
And all the top appointments have been German or those connected to Ratzinger, who continues to speak to reporters like he is still the Pope.
George Dufort of the Common Law Court would add, quote, End quote.
David Joshua Israel Emmanuel of the Court of Zion and High Priest Council Jerusalem issued this brief, quote, Named as present in Ninth Circle activities were Pope Francis, former Pope Ratzinger,
United Church of Canada and Catholic Church officials, including cardinals, members of European royalty, including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, officials of the Canadian, Australian, UK and US military and governments, including the USA's CIA.
Plus prominent government ministers, judges, politicians and businessmen from the US, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Australia, France, Ireland and the UK.
Dozens of adolescents and teens were drugged, stripped naked, raped, hunted down in the woods and killed by European royals.
The drinking of their blood was also said to take place at each of these types' extremely terrifying murders.
According to the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels.
End quote.
So, yeah.
A former member of the Netherlands criminal drug syndicate known as Octopus testified that victims were obtained for these human hunting parties from juvenile centers in Belgium and Holland.
In January of 2014, the brother of the King of Holland, Prince Johan Friso, passed away in a coma after three Dutch language websites published all of this information.
The websites revealed that Friso was at the human-hunting parties.
The story came on the internet after years of trying to move the Policy and Justice Department in the Netherlands to act against the criminals.
Nobody did anything to stop these criminals, probably because Queen Beatrix and King Albert likely interfered with the investigations.
Human-hunting parties were said to take place on the grounds of Belgium and Queen Beatrix's palace in the Netherlands.
Two witnesses have named former Pope Joseph Ratzinger and Queen Beatrix's father, the deceased Prince Alfred Bernard, as being present at child sacrifices.
Both were said to be Nazi sympathizers.
Along with the Ninth Circle of Satan, the ICLCGA court received a collection of Jesuit archival records about another child sacrificial cult known as the Knights of Darkness.
In 1933, the Knights were established by the Catholic Jesuits and Nazi Waffen SS Division.
The records show that Ratzinger was identified as a member of the Knights while working as an SS chaplain assistant at the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany.
The records also state that Ratzinger participated in child sacrificial rites using kidnapped children from the concentration camps or from the political prisoners section.
Not long after the discovery of most of the mass graves of children, an Irish police investigator reported to the ICLCJ that the remains of close to 800 babies were found buried in a Catholic nun's septic tank and were found to be dismembered,
decapitated, and chopped up into pieces, signs that they could have been murdered in satanic child sacrificial rites.
Whether or not they were involved in child sacrificial rites, there's still 800 chopped up babies, so we've got to figure that out, right?
So, the ICLCJ court has been overwhelmed with newly discovered evidence and a number of new witnesses coming forward to testify about 9th circle satanic child sacrificial cult activities.
The five international judges and 27 jury members were expected to remain in session for at least a year due to the complexity of the cases, which by this point have long since passed.
The International Common Law Court of Justice, or the ICLCJ, has over 450 common law peace officers in 13 countries with 51 local chartered groups operating.
Local organizing funds were available for common law groups that applied through the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State.

And a lot of this episode actually comes from the work that Judy Byington has done.
And Judy is a retired, licensed clinical social worker and therapist, and is also a public speaker, an activist, an author, and an investigative journalist whose articles on international child exploitation rinks have been cited on thousands of websites.
And now, before we finish this out, I just wanted to touch on one other aspect of the Ninth Circle of Satan.
Now this stuff is really interesting, alright?
It just gets deep in Hollywood, man.
So, let's look into this.
So, the famed Australian Hollywood actress who has starred in such engrossing films as Eyes Wide Shut, Vanilla Sky, and more recently Nine Perfect Strangers, Nicole Kidman, has direct...
Antony Kidman, better known as Dr. Antony Kidman, was a clinical psychologist at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital and had been for over 40 years.
He carried out all sorts of psychological experiments on adults and children under the auspices of MKUltra.
No joke.
Some say he even conducted such mind-control experiments on his own daughters, Nicole and Antonia, Nicole being the older by about three years.
He was also the director of the Health Psychology Unit at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, where he carried out much of his work.
And you can easily see a pattern where the directors at all of these psychology and health At these major universities, they're all tied to MKUltra.
They're all tied to CIA programs.
So they're all very worthy of looking into.
Interestingly, Antony Kidman would be pronounced dead at 10am in Singapore time on September 12th, 2014, which means that it would have been September 11th.
Since Singapore is 13 hours ahead of the United States.
And I only bring that up because the numbers associated with the date in Gematria terms are extremely important to these Luciferian, Malachian, satanic, secret, deep state societies that form a vast network of the worst criminal groups imaginable.
The worst.
So, why would Kidman's death matter?
Well... Antony Kidman was officially under investigation for his involvement with the Ninth Circle of Satan, which is all backed up with court documents, and it's believed that he actually fled Australia to Singapore under the guise that he was just visiting his youngest daughter,
Antonia Kidman, and his six grandchildren.
And Antonia is actually a journalist as well.
As dozens upon dozens of media outlets reported on, the clinical psychologist was linked to an elite Sydney pedophile ring and fled to Singapore amid sexual abuse allegations against him.
One month prior, Fiona Barnett, who I mentioned earlier, who was one of the many witnesses that has given their testimony to the ICLCJ, filed complaints to the New South Wales Police and the Child Abuse Royal Commission alleging sexual and physical abuse done by Dr. Kidman and others.
In her own testimony, she said that Antony Kidman was the main perpetrator of her abuse, but that three former Australian Prime Ministers were also very involved.
Those Prime Ministers were...
Goth? Go?
Whitlam? Bob Hawk?
And William McMahone.
But Fiona also said that another doctor worked alongside Kamin, John W. Gittinger, had abused and raped her as a child as well.
And Dr. John Gittinger was the man who is celebrated by some, by many, for developing the popular personality assessment system, that is, the butter and bread for psychiatric professionals.
But in her own words about Kidman, this is what she had to say.
Quote, End quote.
As for his death, she gave the following statement.
Quote. As a victim of mind control, I feel he's been sacrificed for failing to adequately program me.
End quote.
It's crazy.
So, she said that she believes that the cult, or others who have close ties with it, are responsible for Kidman's death, which was initially reported by Singaporean officials as being unnatural.
So, there's something to think about.
But very soon after those initial reports came out, the official story would be pushed through the Mockingbird media, which said that he had a fall and suffered a heart attack, which may very well be true due to all of the stress and pressure of being on the run from a very serious investigation into being involved with a satanic cult that operates on the sexual abuse and murder of children.
I mean, I don't know.
Maybe. And man, I just can't help but feel so sorry for Nicole Kidman's husband, oh, so, so poor, poor husband, Keith Urban, who had to cancel one of his country music shows so that he could get back to Australia to comfort Nicole after finding out the news that Anthony Kidman is dead.
Poor fella.
Also, Stanley Kubrick, one of the masters of filmmaking, chose Nicole Kidman to play Alice Hartford in Eyes Wide Shut, which was portraying a seedy underworld of a secret cult.
Some have argued that Kubrick was exposing the Ninth Circle.
It's pretty interesting.
And that's a pretty intense film, with a lot of hidden symbology weaved all throughout.
And of course, Tom Cruise was cast to play her husband, which in real life, they were married at the time.
You know, it was like a Hollywood marriage.
Kubrick also played a lot of mindfuckery with those two while shooting the film, which was also given a Guinness World Record for the longest continual shoot, lasting 400 days.
It's pretty crazy.
But Kubrick was said to have been testing their devotion to each other, so he carried out all sorts of crazy little antics with this.
He had hired a male model and filmed the sex scenes between Nicole and the model for six days.
Okay, six days.
As they posed in 50 different sex positions.
And the whole time, he refused to let Tom visit the set.
In fact, the two were ordered to stay away from each other 24-7 while on set.
But unfortunately, Kubrick would die of a quote-unquote heart attack six days after showing the final cut to Warner Bros.
Studios, but a handful of months before public viewing.
Leaving many to speculate that someone or someones did not want Kubrick's particular cut released.
But yeah, the whole thing with Nicole Kidman being closely involved with this Australian pedophile ring and MKUltra shit is pretty fucking interesting.
And then you have Tom Cruise basically becoming second in command of Scientology, which is a whole other CIA operation in itself.
It's all nuts.
Everything is just nuts.
Nuts everywhere.
But as for Fiona Barnett, she was last heard from through a close friend of hers in 2022 who stated that she was not doing well health-wise.
She also deleted all of her blog posts that she made throughout the many years that she advocated for sexual ritualistic abuse survivors.
Luckily, her book survives, and her friend advises everyone to download it while it still exists.
And so I will leave a link to Fiona Barnett's book, Eyes Wide Open, in the show notes.
And that is going to be it for today's episode, everyone.
