Trump tweets archbishop’s letter blaming coronavirus and Black Lives Matter protests on ‘deep state’ & ‘Masonic’ forces
PRESIDENT Donald Trump tweeted out a letter on Wednesday from a Catholic archbishop who blamed the coronavirus outbreak and Black Lives Matters protests on the “deep state.”
Carlo Maria Viganò, a former Vatican diplomat to Washington, explains in his letter that he believes the current crises befalling the US are a plot to hurt Trump’s re-election.
“In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness,” Viganò wrote in the letter, dated June 7.
Viganò said right now the world is battling good versus evil — “two opposing realities co-exist as eternal enemies, just as God and Satan are eternal enemies.”
“It appears that the children of darkness – whom we may easily identify with the deep state, which you wisely oppose and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days – have decided to show their cards, so to speak, by now revealing their plans.”
The archbishop claimed that “investigations” into his administration’s response to the virus outbreak will “reveal the true responsibility of those who managed the Covid emergency.”
“We will also discover that the riots in these days were provoked by those who, seeing that the virus is inevitably fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances, because they would be followed by repression which, although legitimate, could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population,” he wrote.
He said it’s “quite clear” that those protesting George Floyd’s death in the streets “is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction.”
Viganò then claimed there is a “deep church” among the clergy, just as there is a “deep state.”
Those who criticized Trump’s photo-op in front of a statue of Pope John II last week, he said, are “subservient to the deep state, to globalism, to aligned thought, to the New World Order.”
He said” “They invoke ever more frequently in the name of a universal brotherhood, which has nothing Christian about it, but which evokes the Masonic ideals of those want to dominate the world by driving God out of the courts, out of schools, out of families, and perhaps even out of churches.”
Viganò praised Trump for his presidency, writing: “For the first time, the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right to life, who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world, who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship.”
“And I dare to believe that both of us are on the same side in this battle, albeit with different weapons.”
Viganò said Americans “are mature and have now understood how much the mainstream media does not want to spread the truth but seeks to silence and distort it, spreading the lie that is useful for the purposes of their masters.”

Viganò said good people must “come together and make their voices heard” through prayer.
“In this dramatic and decisive hour for all of humanity, I am praying for you and also for all those who are at your side in the government of the United States. I trust that the American people are united with me and you in prayer to Almighty God.”
Viganò wrote: “United against the Invisible Enemy of all humanity, I bless you and the First Lady, the beloved American nation, and all men and women of good will.”
