Brad & Abbey Live Ep. 146: Vatican Coverups, Trafficking Whistleblowers, and the Pope’s Easter Exit

Badlands Media

In this deeply emotional and eye-opening episode of Brad & Abbey Live, hosts Brad Zerbo and Abbey Blue Eyes confront the darkest corners of institutional corruption, shining a light on the Catholic Church’s history of abuse, coverups, and its entanglement with global trafficking networks. Following the death of Pope Francis, the pair dive into the rise of his replacement at the World Economic Forum, an unsettling water tycoon who argues water is a commodity, not a right, and what these coordinated transitions might really mean.

The episode then pivots to explosive allegations against the Vatican, including the tragic story of Argentine whistleblower and model Natacha Jaitt, who publicly accused Pope Francis’ associate Gustavo Vera of trafficking children to the Vatican. Just two weeks before she was set to testify in court, she was found dead under suspicious circumstances, despite publicly tweeting, “I am not going to kill myself.” Abbey and Brad piece together her investigation, the media coverup, and the eerie pattern of whistleblowers dying before they can speak.

Also explored: the excommunication of Archbishop Viganò, a chilling deposition from Archbishop Carlson denying knowledge that child abuse was a crime, and the sinister symbolism of Pope Francis dying on Easter. Unfiltered, urgent, and unapologetically real, this episode is a powerful call to truth, and to justice.
