@JhWesten ....@StevenBannon..SWIFT Banking..(2013)..effectively froze Vatican financial transactions..potentially with U.S. involvement, to push Benedict into resigning. Why would SWIFT target the Vatican at that specific time, and why was access restored shortly after Benedict’s resignation was announced?
A detailed breakdown of what I said on 1/5
1. SWIFT Banking System Shutdown (2013)
In January 2013—just weeks before Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation—the Vatican Bank (IOR)was briefly cut off from the SWIFT international banking system. This effectively froze Vatican financial transactions worldwide.
• Context: The suspension was attributed to regulatory compliance issues. However, critics argue that it was an unprecedented move and may have been politically motivated.
• Archbishop Viganò and others suggest this was economic pressure applied by international forces, potentially with U.S. involvement, to push Benedict into resigning.
Why would SWIFT target the Vatican at that specific time, and why was access restored shortly after Benedict’s resignation was announced?
