Re: Any conspiracy theory worth its salt has to have a factual basis to start with. This one seems manufactured out of whole cloth.
First, I'm afraid that "conspiracy" is too bombastic a word to fairly describe my blackmail scenario.... After all, there's nothing conspiratorial in claiming that the Catholic Church is routinely smeared with pedophile stories or smooching sessions with young seminarians, etc. --especially in North America, where the Church's grip on the justice apparatus is not as ironclad as it is in (Latin) Europe... I mean the U.S. is probably by far the most expensive market for the Church when it comes to sex-scams involving bishops, priests,.... and resulting in costly judicial settlements.
So, to get back to my "scenario", I agree that all my "evidences" so far are purely circumstancial.... Yet the whole story does conceal an intriguing hitch, that is the age gap between Col. Alois Estermann, 43, and Vice-Caporal Cedric Tornay, 23.
The official story that there was a miff about Tornay's promotion is ludicrous: that kind of problems does happen BETWEEN POTENTIAL RIVALS, but not between, say, an admiral and an ordinary seaman! Anyway, I have the feeling that Estermann and Tornay were nevertheless "associates".... Then again, why would a seasoned elite officer, such as Estermann, join with a rookie whom he could be the father?? Did Tornay possess some special skill? Tornay was no whizzkid --he was a mechanic, not an engineer. Yet, was Tornay a reliable tough guy whom Estermann could use to intimidate some cute eminence? Nope, the fellow wasn't a street urchin from Palermo.... So, what are we left with as a plausible reason for the unlikely "Estermann-Tornay" partnership? So far, I see only one good explanation: Estermann needed Tornay as a bait to frame some Vatican topsider. After all, a sexy Swiss guard was the safest best for both parties: the "customer" could easily access his resume (including his medical record) and the "pimp" had all the time to brief his "junior partner" on his very special mission.... |
