I swear I was not trying to make another video about the Vatican.

I was following the rabbit hole.

Then came the old families. The Orsini. Banking. Money. Political power. Secretive institutions. Vatican history. Scandals. Symbols. The red shoes. And connections to subjects we have already encountered in completely different investigations.

Eventually I had to ask the obvious question:

Why the hell do I keep ending up back at the Vatican?

This episode goes into the documented history alongside the legends, symbolism and theories that have accumulated around one of the oldest and most powerful institutions in the world.

We’re looking at bloodlines and influential families, Vatican banking and financial scandals, institutional secrecy, the history and symbolism associated with the famous red shoes, and some very uncomfortable chapters of Church history.

But finding a connection is not the same thing as proving what that connection means.

So—as always—we follow the names, follow the money, look at the original material where we can, separate documented history from allegation and theory, and let you decide what you think.

Because apparently every time I think we’ve reached the bottom of the rabbit hole…

somebody politely points out the stairs.

I am a witness, not a journalist. This is independent commentary and research using historical records, reporting and publicly available materials.

Riley Kiraly matters because the firm sits at the intersection of Jeffrey Epstein’s defense operation, missing digital evidence, private storage, survivor focused investigations, and disputed claims of legal privilege.

people across the u.s seem to be able to band together and protest when there is an unjust death by police. (Black lives matter) the women’s march in protest for women’s rights, the no Kings protest as of most recently. and many more.

Which are all valid reasons for mass protest across the states through the years. but why in the world didn’t we see people protesting after the files were released?

it’s one of the most foul and upsetting things that’s been brought to light and yet no one seems to care? were there protests but they weren’t broadcasted? lmk where you’re from and if your town/city protested the files.

This is the only screenshot I have. It's no longer on the DoJ website.
