Christian brother and sister refugees from Syria say they have been ‘let down’ by Pope Francis after he left them behind in a Lesbos refugee camp despite promises they would be given a new life in Italy.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Pope Francis, in a ‘gesture of compassion’ decided to take 12 Muslim Syrian refugees back to the Vatican to live. But when it was discovered that 2 of the 12 Syrian refugees were actually Christians, and not Muslims, they were dropped like a hot potato and told they could not come even though the Vatican had promised to take them. As usual, Middle Eastern Christians get nothing while all the focus remains on the Muslims. That’s the agenda from your New World Order pope. Christians are ignored because they don’t commit jihad and they are not trying to take over Europe like the Muslims are. Muslims are promoted and given preferential treatment because the NWO wants to invade as many nations as possible. And you think the Pope is a Christian? Guess again.

Roula and Malek Abo say they were two of the lucky ‘chosen 12’ refugees selected by the Vatican to be taken from the desperate camp and housed in Rome. But what seemed like the chance of a lifetime was cruelly snatched away when they were told the following day they couldn’t go. Instead three Muslim families were taken.

Roula, 22, and her brother arrived on Lesbos on April 1 – ten days after the controversial EU deal to return all asylum seekers arriving to Greece from Turkey.

Their application for asylum is being process and they are waiting to learn if they will be sent back to Turkey. Stuck on Lesbos, Roula told MailOnline: ‘If they can do this for 12 people they can do it for more.

‘If you have promised to take people back to Italy will something like registration papers stand in your way?’

Neither Community Sant’Egidio, the charity which organised the trip, or the Vatican would explain the selection process over which migrants were picked.

Spokesman Massimiliano Signifredi called the incident ‘regrettable’ – adding: ‘The problem here is the three Syrians arrived after the March 20 deadline. They arrived just after the agreement between the European Union and Turkey.

Mr Signifredi said: ‘Our staff went to Lesbos and spoke with the people who were selected. But everything was decided by the Vatican.

‘The question why the Pope took only Muslims is difficult to understand and he was suffering, I think, because he wanted to do something also for Christians as the chief of the Catholic Church. But he couldn’t because there is this international agreement [with the EU].’

The Vatican declined to comment

Still reeling over her dream being so cruelly dashed, Roula had to watch the three fortunate families board a plane for a new life in Europe while she and her brother were left behind to face an uncertain future in Greece.

Pope Francis, the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, said the decision to take a dozen to Italy was a gesture of goodwill to set an example to the world to extend the hand of friendship during Europe’s migrant crisis.

They are being housed in Rome by Sant’Egidio, which has brought 250 Syrians to Italy since March.

Roula, her brother, 28, and a third man, their friend Samir, also 28, from Damascus, say a day or so before the Pope arrived they were approached by three volunteers believed to be from Sant’Egidio.

She explained: ‘They said they would take us to Italy, to pack our bags and to meet them the next day.

‘It was so secretive – they didn’t announce it to anybody and we were told to keep it a secret. ‘It seemed so unofficial – we didn’t know who they were or if they would really take us,’ Roula added.

‘I thought they might be organ traffickers – we had no idea.’

Samir had no such doubts when he was approached, however.

‘I was so excited to go to Italy – it was such a relief,’ he said. ‘They offered me my future on a plate, and then 24 hours later they took it away. ‘They had even told me that after a few months I could be reunited with my family and they would arrange for them to come from Damascus and join me in Italy.’

But the next day they received the crushing news that their places were given to another family.

The Pope told reporters on the plane back from Lesbos that it had been the idea of one of his aides and that he had immediately agreed.

‘I felt the spirit was talking to us,’ he said, adding that ‘everything was done according to the rules’, with documents provided by Italy, the Vatican and Greece.

Asked why they were all Muslim, he said there was something wrong with the papers of a Christian family that had originally been on the list. source

President Trump Says Barack Obama Is Guilty Of ‘Sedition And Treason’ Against The United States And That ‘Papers Are Signed’ To Have Him Arrested

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Former President Barack Obama’s office claims that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) report indicating senior officials in the Obama administration orchestrated the “Russia Collusion” hoax after President Donald Trump was elected, is “outrageous.”

President Trump in his efforts to make the Epstein files scandal go away has put himself in a very precarious position. He has accused former president Barack Obama of ‘sedition and treason’ against the government of the United States, has pronounced him to be guilty, saying “it’s time to go after people”.

“Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.” Job 31:6 (KJB)

Here’s the problem with all that. If Trump, having pronounced Obama to be guilty of the highest crime possible against the nation, does not have him arrested nearly immediately, it will show that Trump is lying. Trump would then be guilty of libel for publishing false statements and slander for speaking false statements. If Trump does have Obama led away in handcuffs, it will ignite a firestorm not seen since the last civil war. On our Podcast yesterday, I called Trump’s bluff, and said he would never do that while at the same time allowing for the slightest possibility that he just might. Crazy is as crazy does. Obama today called Trump’s accusations “outrageous”, and said his claims are “without merit”. Having now successfully painted himself into the proverbial corner, Trump has to ‘put up or shut up’, and arrest Obama and try him, or be branded a liar. What do you think he’ll do?

Obama’s Office Responds to Trump’s Accusation of Treason: ‘Outrageous’

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush issued a statement challenging the report released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday, according to a screenshot from the Hill White House columnist Niall Stanage.

The ODNI report found “overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump,” per a release from Gabbard’s office.

BREAKING NEWS: President Trump from the Oval Office has just declared that former president Barack Obama is guilty of treason. How long until he issues the order to arrest Obama? Because if he doesn’t, then he’s lying. What happens next should be interesting. pic.twitter.com/0pk5MfPkQO

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 22, 2025

Rodenbush heavily denied the allegations in the report:

Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous and merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.
Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.

The statement comes hours after Trump declared Obama is “guilty.”

“He’s guilty. It’s not a question, you know, I like to say, ‘Let’s give it time.’ It’s there. He’s guilty… This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

Trump also emphasized that he did not pursue charges against twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2017 over her email scandal, but said after what has happened to him over the past decade, “it’s time to go after people.”

“You know, when we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, ‘You know what, let’s not… go too far here; It’s the ex-wife of a president.’ And I thought it was sort of terrible, and I let her off the hook. And I’m very happy I did,” Trump said. “…After what they did to me, and whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people. Obama’s been caught directly. So people say, ‘Oh, you know a group.’ It’s not a group, it’s Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed,” Trump added. READ MORE

After Ignoring Her Completely, Attorney General Pam Bondi Is Now Begging Ghislaine Maxwell To Step In And Make The Epstein List Go Away For Trump

Attorney General Pam Bondi has sought an urgent meeting with convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell in another bid to quell the political firestorm over the Epstein files.

My, my, my, the twists and turns of the Epstein files is on par with anything ever written by Shakespeare, just without the beautiful prose. Pam Bondi is now so desperate for a resolution to this thing, that she has gone from treating Ghislaine Maxwell like she didn’t exist to now begging her for a meeting to help craft an exit on this for the Trump administration. Telling the truth would have been so much easier than whatever this mess is that Trump created for himself by refusing to release what he had on Epstein. Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine to the rescue!! And that’s the memo.

“Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.” 1 Samuel 28:7 (KJB)

King Saul thought he had found the answer to his vexing problem by consulting with the witch at Endor to make all his problems go away, but that singular move only served to seal his fate. Will Pam Bondi and Donald Trump be helped or hurt by consulting with the witch of the Epstein files Ghislaine Maxwell? Only time will tell, but I promise you this. In all the things that may come out by bringing her into the picture, it is not likely that the truth will be one of them.

Bondi Pleads for Ghislaine to Bail Her Out of Epstein files Crisis

FROM MSN: Two weeks after issuing a memo declaring there was no further incriminating evidence regarding the crimes or death of Jeffrey Epstein, Bondi’s department has reached out to Maxwell, who was his girlfriend and accomplice, hoping she may spill his secrets.

“President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislaine Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,” deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Therefore, at the direction of Attorney General Bondi, I have communicated with counsel for Ms. Maxwell to determine whether she would be willing to speak with prosecutors from the Department. I anticipate meeting with Ms. Maxwell in the coming days.”

Statement from @DAGToddBlanche:

This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was…

— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) July 22, 2025

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping Epstein recruit and abuse underage girls. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The 63-year-old had been urging the Supreme Court to review her case, but the Department of Justice had asked the court to turn away her appeal just over a week ago.

Now, it is seeking a meeting with her as the Trump administration continues to face a MAGA backlash over its handling of the case.

“Call me crazy… but wouldn’t you have talked to Ghislaine BEFORE writing a memo that there was no Epstein list and that the investigation was closed?” Matt Van Swol, a former nuclear scientist for the US Department of Energy, wrote on X.

“DOJ published the July 6 memo on Epstein saying there was nothing to see here without talking to Maxwell, by their own admission here. Really thorough investigation there!” added Neera Tanden, a former adviser in the Biden administration.

THIS IS IRONIC: Listen as Donald Trump Jr. in 2024 talks about how no one on the Epstein Client List has ever been brought to justice. Then he says that “it’s almost like they’re trying to protect those pedophiles for some reason”. Hmm, better go ask your dad about that. pic.twitter.com/D9afQWZ1eB

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) July 13, 2025

MAGA outrage over the Epstein files began earlier this month, after Bondi’s department issued a July 6 memo declaring there was no evidence to suggest that the disgraced financier was murdered or that he had a “client list”, something that many Trump supporters have long believed.

If Maxwell agrees to meet with the department, her evidence could shed light on a Wall Street Journal article, published last week, with details of a letter Trump allegedly wrote Epstein 20 years ago. The letter, which Trump denies was his, was organized by Maxwell and given to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003, before he was convicted in Florida for sex with an underage girl. According to the Wall Street Journal, it contained several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman.

“We have certain things in common, Jeffrey,” Trump is alleged to have written on the gift. “Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? … Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” READ MORE

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: MAGA Falls Hard For Trump False Promise To Have ‘Barack Obama Arrested’ To Stand Trial For Russian Collusion Hoax

Donald Trump throws a ‘hail Mary’ pass with a veiled promised to have Obama arrested in effort to get MAGA to stop talking about Epstein, and it’s working

Donald Trump was faced with a very real and very serious problem regarding his refusal to release the information the Federal government had complied on Jeffrey Epstein. It got so bad, that nearly half of his MAGA supporters put the brakes on their support, and things started to going into a tailspin. Trump played the only card he had to reverse the tide, the only thing he could say to stop the criticism of his handling of the Epstein files. He posted that he had ordered Tulsi Gabbard to open an investigation into Obama and the Russian Collusion hoax, implying that Obama could be arrested ‘any day now’ and made to stand trial. It worked like a charm, and MAGA erupted in dutiful obeisance to their savior. But Obama will never be arrested, just like Hillary was never arrested, and that’s the memo.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, I know you think that by voting for Trump you dodged the bullet called Kamala, but you didn’t. A Trump presidency is a very different ride from a Kamala presidency, but in the end your journey leads you to the same destination. No one in Washington, Democrat or Republican, has any interest in releasing anything of note regarding Jeffrey Epstein, and the only way it will be released is if some hacker goes in and gets it. But rest assured, Donald Trump will never, in a million years, have Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton arrested for anything, because if he does, it would bust the government wide open. In the meantime, however, it’s makes for a great MAGA pacifier and should hopefully get his supporters to stop talking about Epstein. Looking at the chatter on social media leads me to believe the tactic has already been quite effective. Don’t get me wrong, I believe Barack Obama is guilty of the Russian Collusion Hoax, as is Hillary, but Trump will never have either one arrested.
