Abp. Viganò: We’re witnessing ‘general rehearsal for the establishment of the kingdom of the Antichrist’

December 23 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò , in a new interview with LifeSite , comments on LifeSite ’ s report that since the first coronavirus lockdown in March , Pope Francis is not anymore using the papal altar in St. Peter ’ s Basilica for his public Masses , an altar which is situated on top of St. Peter 's tomb .
Instead , the Pope is using another altar at the basilica .
For Viganò , this papal act is symbolic in light of the fact that Pope Francis himself ordered during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Synod that a bowl of plants dedicated to the false goddess Pachamama be placed on that very papal altar at St. Peter 's .
Not long after that act , the Pope also decided that he would no longer use the title “ Vicar of Christ ” in the 2020 Vatican Yearbook .
The Italian prelate here finds strong words about the recent developments at St. Peter 's and the Vatican .
“ In my opinion , ” Viganò writes , “ what we are witnessing represents the general rehearsal for the establishment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which will be preceded by the preaching of the False Prophet , the Precursor of the one who will carry out the final persecution against the Church before Our Lord ’ s definitive and crushing victory.
” The Italian prelate compares the placing of a Pachamama bowl on the altar with the enthronement of the “ Goddess Reason ” at Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral during the Terror of the French Revolution in 1793 .
However , he explains , this time , the profanation of an altar came from within , committed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ The Bergoglian church is giving itself an increasingly more disconcerting image , in which the negation of Catholic truths is accompanied by the explicit affirmation of an intrinsically anti-Catholic and antichristic ideology , in which the idolatrous cult of pagan divinities – that is , of demons – is no longer hidden , who are propititated with sacrilegious acts and profanations of holy things.
” He goes on to say that this “ presence of an idol of ‘ mother earth ’ is a direct offense against God and the Most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sign that explains in a certain sense Bergoglio ’ s many irreverent utterances with regard to the Blessed Mother.
” Here , the Italian archbishop sees a link to the warnings of Our Lady of Salette from the 19th century .
For him it is not surprising “ that those who want to demolish the Church of Christ and the Roman Papacy do so from the highest Throne , according to the prophecy of Our Lady at La Salette : ‘ Rome will lose the Faith and will become the seat of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increase of sacrilegious acts – Viganò mentions here also the ugly and occultist Nativity Set in St. Peter ’ s Square – Pope Francis also does not wish to carry the name “ Vicar of Christ ” anymore , nor has he , for months now , had a public Mass televised from his private chapel at his Santa Marta Residence .
Commenting on the fact that Pope Francis removed from his entry in the 2020 Vatican Yearbook the title “ Vicar of Christ ” – he merely placed it at the end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ titles ” – Viganò states that “ whoever refuses to be called Vicar of Christ apparently has the perception that this title does not suit him , or even looks with contempt at the possibility of being the Vicar of the One whom by his words and actions Bergoglio shows that he does not wish to recognize and adore as God.
” All these papal acts taken together are seen by Archbishop Viganò as a development toward apostasy and sacrilege , that is , demon worship .
And for him , this development @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Council .
“ I believe , ” he explains , “ that the premises that have been laid down up to this point – which in good part go back to Vatican II , but also to later events such as the Interreligious Prayer Meeting in Assisi – will inexorably lead in an ever more explicit way towards a ‘ profession of apostasy ’ by the leaders of the Bergoglian church.
” But Archbishop Viganò also gives us encouragement and strength .
He recalls that “ the Church does not belong to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ belong to a clique of heretics and fornicators that has succeeded in coming to power by deception and fraud.
” He continues , by saying : It is the archbishop 's hope that this crisis in the Church will open the eyes of many a lukewarm Catholic .
He hopes that it will “ permit us to see that where Christ the King does not reign , the tyranny of Satan is inevitably established ; where Grace does not reign , sin and vice spread ; where the Truth is not loved , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Perhaps , he hopes , this crisis will make many people who have difficulty adoring God realize “ perhaps they can now understand that without God our life becomes hell.
” Archbishop Viganò concludes this interview with the hopeful words : “ And let us pray that we will see the day on which a Pope will return to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice on the Altar of the Confession of Saint Peter , in the rite that Our Lord taught the Apostles and that they handed down intact through the centuries .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the restoration of the Papacy and of the Church of Christ.
” Below is the full interview with Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò : Archbishop Viganò with Dr. Maike Hickson on the empty Papal Altar LifeSiteNews : Your Excellency , in my recent article I noted that the Papal Altar of the Vatican Basilica has not been used anymore not long after it was profaned by the offering presented to the pachamama idol in October 2019 .
On that occasion , in the presence of Bergoglio and his court , a very grave sacrilege @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thoughts about this ?
Archbishop Viganò : The profanation of the Vatican Basilica during the concluding ceremony of the Synod on the Amazon contaminated the Altar of the Confession , since a bowl dedicated to the infernal cult of the pachamama was placed on its surface .
I find that this and other similar profanations of churches and altars re-propose in a certain manner other similar actions that have taken place in the past and allows us to understand their true nature .
What are you referring to ?
I am referring to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unleashed against the Church of Christ , from the persecutions of the first Christians to the war of Khosrow of Persia against Byzantium , from the iconclastic fury of the Mohammedans to the Sack of Rome at the hands of the German Landsknechte , and later the French Revolution , the anticlericalism of the 19th century , atheistic communism , the Cristeros in Mexico and the Spanish Civil War , up to the heinous crimes of the communist partisans during and after the Second World War and the forms of christianophobia that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Each time , invariably , the Revolution – in all of its various forms – confirms its own Luciferian essence , allowing the Biblical enmity between the offspring of the Serpent and the offspring of the Woman to emerge , between the children of Satan and the children of the Most Holy Virgin .
There is no other explanation for this ferocity against the Blessed Mother and her children .
I think in particular of the enthronement of the “ Goddess Reason ” which took place on November 10 , 1793 , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , at the height of the Terror .
On this occasion as well , the infernal hatred of the revolutionaries wanted to replace the cult of the Mother of God with the cult of a prostitute , erected as a symbol of the Masonic religion , carried on their shoulders on a sedan chair and placed in the sanctuary .
There are many analogies here with the pachamama , and they reveal the infernal mind which has inspired them .
Let us not forget that on August 10 , 1793 , a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the statue of the “ Goddess Reason ” was erected in the Place de la Bastille , in the guise of the Egyptian goddess Isis .
It is significant that we find this reference to the cults of ancient Egypt also in the horrid “ Nativity scene ” that is presently standing in Saint Peter ’ s Square .
But obviously the similarities we find in these events are also accompanied by something absolutely new .
Would you like to explain to us what this new element consists of ?
I refer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Council – or , to be indulgent , up until this “ pontificate ” – profanations and sacrileges were carried out by the external enemies of the Church ; since then the scandals have seen the active involvement of the highest levels of the Hierarchy , along with the culpable silence of the Bishops and the scandalization of the faithful .
The Bergoglian church is giving itself an increasingly more disconcerting image , in which the negation of Catholic truths is accompanied by the explicit affirmation of an intrinsically anti-Catholic and antichristic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pagan divinities – that is , of demons – is no longer hidden , who are propititated with sacrilegious acts and profanations of holy things .
Putting that unclean bowl on the Altar of the Confession of Saint Peter is a liturgical gesture with a precise value and a purpose that is not only symbolic .
The presence of an idol of “ mother earth ” is a direct offense against God and the Most Holy Virgin , a tangible sign that explains in a certain sense Bergoglio ’ s many irreverent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is therefore not surprising that those who want to demolish the Church of Christ and the Roman Papacy do so from the highest Throne , according to the prophecy of Our Lady at La Salette : “ Rome will lose the Faith and will become the seat of the Antichrist.
” It seems to me that today we can no longer speak of a simple “ loss of Faith , ” but we ought to take note of the next step , which is expressed in a true and proper apostasy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Catholic worship by the liturgical reform is evolving into a form of pagan worship that includes the systematic profanation of the Blessed Sacrament – especially with the imposition of Communion in the hand under the pretext of Covid – and into an ever more evident aversion towards the ancient liturgy .
In essence , many forms of initial “ prudence ” in concealing the true intentions of the Innovators are decreasing , revealing the true nature of the work carried out by God ’ s enemies .
The pretext of common prayer for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and other scandalous abominations in Assisi is no longer needed , and it is theorized that brotherhood among men can leave God aside as well as the salvific mission of the Church .
What is your assessment of the events beginning in October 2019 , in particular Bergoglio ’ s abandonment of the title of Vicar of Christ , the fact that he does not celebrate anymore Mass at the Papal Altar , and the suspension of the public celebration of Mass at Santa Marta ?
The philosophical principle “ Agere sequitur esse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conformity with what it is .
Whoever refuses to be called Vicar of Christ apparently has the perception that this title does not suit him , or even looks with contempt at the possibility of being the Vicar of the One whom by his words and actions Bergoglio shows that he does not wish to recognize and adore as God .
Or , more simply , he does not consider that his own role at the top of the Church ought to coincide with the Catholic concept of the papacy , but , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ demythologized ” version of it .
At the same time , since he does not consider himself to be Vicar of Christ , Bergoglio can also exempt himself from acting as such , casually adulterating the Magisterium and giving scandal to the entire Christian people .
Celebrating in pontificalibus at the altar erected over the tomb of the Apostle Peter would make the Argentine disappear , would overshadow his eccentricities , his perpetually disgusted expression that he does not succeed in concealing as often as he celebrates the papal functions : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him to stand out on the deserted Sagrato of Saint Peter ’ s , in full lockdown , drawing to himself the attention of the faithful that would otherwise be directed towards God .
Do you therefore recognize the “ symbolic ” value of the acts of Pope Francis ?
The symbols have their own precise value : his choice of name , his decision to live at Domus Santa Marta , the abandonment of the insignia and vestments proper to the Roman Pontiff , such as the red mozzetta , the rochet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of arms on his fascia ( sash ) .
The obsessive emphasis on all that is profane is symbolic , as is the intolerance of everything that recalls specifically Catholic content .
And perhaps the gesture by which , at the epiclesis during the Consecration of the Mass , Bergoglio always completely covers the chalice , plugging it with his hands , as if he wants to impede the outpouring of the Holy Spirit , is also symbolic .
Likewise , just as in the act of kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and an act of latria ( adoration ) is performed towards God , by not kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament , Bergoglio publicly proclaims that he does not want to humble himself before God , but he has no problem getting down on his hands and knees before immigrants or officials of an African republic .
And in prostrating themselves before the pachamama , some friars , sisters , clerics , and laity have performed an act of true and proper idolatry , unduly honoring an idol and offering worship to a demon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gestures are thus the instrument by which the Bergoglian church reveals itself for what it is .
All of these “ rites ” of the new church , these “ ceremonies ” that are more or less indicated , these elements borrowed from profane liturgies , are by no means accidental .
They constitute one of the shifts of the Overton window towards that which in reality Bergoglio had already theorized in his interventions and the acts of his “ magisterium.
” On the other hand , the witch doctor who made the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John Paul II and the Buddha adored on top of the tabernacle in Assisi may be understood in their perfect coherence with the present horrors , exactly as , in the societal sphere , prior to considering abortion acceptable in the ninth month it had to be legitimized in more limited cases , and prior to legalizing marriage between persons of the same sex it was prudently preferred to allow people to believe that the legal protection of sodomy would not eventually call into question the institution of natural marriage between a man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do you believe that these events will have a further development ?
If the Lord , the Eternal High Priest , does not deign to put an end to this action of general perversion of the Hierarchy , the Catholic Church will be increasingly obscured by the sect that abusively superimposes itself upon her .
We trust in the promises of Christ and in the special assistance of the Holy Spirit , but we must not forget that the apostasy of the highest levels of the Church is a necessary part of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end times ] that can not be avoided .
I believe that the premises that have been laid down up to this point – which in good part go back to Vatican II – will inexorably lead in an ever more explicit way towards a “ profession of apostasy ” by the leaders of the Bergoglian church .
The Enemy demands fidelity from his servants , and if at the beginning he appears to be content with a wooden idol adored in the Vatican Gardens , or an offering of soil and plants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he will shortly demand public and official worship that replaces the perpetual Sacrifice .
Thus there would be realized what Daniel prophesied with regard to the abomination of desolation that stands in the holy place .
I note the precise expression of Sacred Scripture : “ Cum videritis abominationem desolationis stantem in loco sancto ” [ When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place ] ( Mt 24:15 ) .
It is clearly written that this abomination will stand , that is , it will be in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ itself in the place that is most foreign and alien to it .
It will be a disgrace , a scandal , an unprecedented thing , of which there are not adequate words to express condemnation .
What awaits us , if things continue in this direction ?
In my opinion , what we are witnessing represents the general rehearsal for the establishment of the kingdom of the Antichrist , which will be preceded by the preaching of the False Prophet , the Precursor of the one who will carry out the final @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s definitive and crushing victory .
The “ symbolic void ” of the Papal Altar is not only a warning for those who pretend not to see the scandals of this “ papacy.
” It is in some manner a way in which Bergoglio wants to accustom us to taking note of a substantial mutation of the Papacy and the Church herself ; to see in him not only the last of the long line of Roman Pontiffs whom Christ has ordered to feed His sheep and His lambs , but also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organization that usurps the name “ Catholic Church ” only because it allows him to enjoy a prestige and authority that are difficult to equal , even in times of general religious crisis .
The paradox is therefore obvious : Bergoglio knows that he can effectively destroy the Catholic Church only if he is recognized as the Pope , but at the same time he can not exercise the Papacy in the strict sense of the term , because doing so would necessarily require that he speak , behave , and appear as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Prince of the Apostles .
It is the same paradox that we see in the civil and political sphere , where those who are constituted in authority to govern public affairs and promote the bonum commune are at the same time emissaries of the elite and have the task of destroying the Nation and violating the rights of citizens .
Behind the deep state and the deep church there is always the same inspirer : Satan .
What can the laity and clergy do to prevent this rush towards the abyss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Pope , and even less does she belong to a clique of heretics and fornicators that has succeeded in coming to power by deception and fraud .
Therefore , we ought to unite our supernatural faith in the constant action of God in the midst of His people with a work of resistance , as counseled by the Fathers of the Church : Catholics have the duty of opposing the infidelity of their Shepherds , because the obedience that they owe them is aimed at the glory of God and the salvation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that represents a betrayal of the mission of the Shepherds , imploring the Lord to shorten these times of trial .
And if one day we are told by Bergoglio that , in order to remain in communion with him , we must perform an act that offends God , we will have further confirmation that he is an impostor , and that as such he has no authority .
Therefore , let us pray .
Let us pray very much and with fervor , mindful of the words of the Savior and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be judged , not for the scandals of Bergoglio and his accomplices , but for our fidelity to the teaching of Christ : a fidelity that begins with living in God ’ s grace , receiving the Sacraments frequently , and offering sacrifices and penances for the salvation of the Ministers of God .
What is your wish for this coming Christmas ?
My wish is that these times of trial may permit us to see that where Christ the King does not reign , the tyranny of Satan is inevitably established ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and vice spread ; where the Truth is not loved , people end up embracing error and heresy .
If up until now many lukewarm souls have not known how to turn to God , recognizing that they can find the full and perfect realization of their existence in Him alone , perhaps they can now understand that without God our life becomes hell .
As the shepherds prostrated themselves in adoration at the feet of the Infant King , placed in the manger but significantly clothed in the swaddling bands that in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so we too must gather in prayer around the altar – even though it may be in an attic or a cellar in order to escape persecution or bans on gatherings – because even in the poverty of a clandestine chapel or an abandoned church the Lord descends on the altar to mystically sacrifice Himself for our salvation .
And let us pray that we will see the day on which a Pope will return to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice on the Altar of the Confession of Saint Peter , in the rite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they handed down intact through the centuries .
This will also be a symbol of the restoration of the Papacy and of the Church of Christ .

'In my opinion,' Viganò writes, 'what we are witnessing represents the general rehearsal for the establishment of the kingdom of the Antichrist, which will be preceded by the preaching of the False Prophet, the Precursor of the one who will carry out the final persecution against the Church before Our Lord’s definitive and crushing victory.
December 23, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, in a new interview with LifeSite, comments on LifeSite’s report that since the first coronavirus lockdown in March, Pope Francis is not anymore using the papal altar in St. Peter’s Basilica for his public Masses, an altar which is situated on top of St. Peter's tomb. Instead, the Pope is using another altar at the basilica. For Viganò, this papal act is symbolic in light of the fact that Pope Francis himself ordered during the closing Mass of the October 2019 Amazon Synod that a bowl of plants dedicated to the false goddess Pachamama be placed on that very papal altar at St. Peter's. Not long after that act, the Pope also decided that he would no longer use the title “Vicar of Christ” in the 2020 Vatican Yearbook.
The Italian prelate here finds strong words about the recent developments at St. Peter's and the Vatican.
“In my opinion,” Viganò writes, “what we are witnessing represents the general rehearsal for the establishment of the kingdom of the Antichrist, which will be preceded by the preaching of the False Prophet, the Precursor of the one who will carry out the final persecution against the Church before Our Lord’s definitive and crushing victory.”
The Italian prelate compares the placing of a Pachamama bowl on the altar with the enthronement of the “Goddess Reason” at Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral during the Terror of the French Revolution in 1793. However, he explains, this time, the profanation of an altar came from within, committed by the highest levels of the hierarchy. “The Bergoglian church is giving itself an increasingly more disconcerting image, in which the negation of Catholic truths is accompanied by the explicit affirmation of an intrinsically anti-Catholic and antichristic ideology, in which the idolatrous cult of pagan divinities – that is, of demons – is no longer hidden, who are propititated with sacrilegious acts and profanations of holy things.”
He goes on to say that this “presence of an idol of ‘mother earth’ is a direct offense against God and the Most Holy Virgin” and “a tangible sign that explains in a certain sense Bergoglio’s many irreverent utterances with regard to the Blessed Mother.”
Here, the Italian archbishop sees a link to the warnings of Our Lady of Salette from the 19th century. For him it is not surprising “that those who want to demolish the Church of Christ and the Roman Papacy do so from the highest Throne, according to the prophecy of Our Lady at La Salette: ‘Rome will lose the Faith and will become the seat of the Antichrist.’”
In accordance with this increase of sacrilegious acts – Viganò mentions here also the ugly and occultist Nativity Set in St. Peter’s Square – Pope Francis also does not wish to carry the name “Vicar of Christ” anymore, nor has he, for months now, had a public Mass televised from his private chapel at his Santa Marta Residence.
Commenting on the fact that Pope Francis removed from his entry in the 2020 Vatican Yearbook the title “Vicar of Christ” – he merely placed it at the end of his entry, under “historic titles” – Viganò states that “whoever refuses to be called Vicar of Christ apparently has the perception that this title does not suit him, or even looks with contempt at the possibility of being the Vicar of the One whom by his words and actions Bergoglio shows that he does not wish to recognize and adore as God.”
All these papal acts taken together are seen by Archbishop Viganò as a development toward apostasy and sacrilege, that is, demon worship. And for him, this development has its beginning at the Second Vatican Council. “I believe,” he explains, “that the premises that have been laid down up to this point – which in good part go back to Vatican II,” but also to later events such as the Interreligious Prayer Meeting in Assisi – “will inexorably lead in an ever more explicit way towards a ‘profession of apostasy’ by the leaders of the Bergoglian church.”
But Archbishop Viganò also gives us encouragement and strength. He recalls that “the Church does not belong to the Pope, and even less does she belong to a clique of heretics and fornicators that has succeeded in coming to power by deception and fraud.” He continues, by saying:
Therefore, we ought to unite our supernatural faith in the constant action of God in the midst of His people with a work of resistance, as counseled by the Fathers of the Church: Catholics have the duty of opposing the infidelity of their Shepherds, because the obedience that they owe them is aimed at the glory of God and the salvation of souls. We therefore denounce everything that represents a betrayal of the mission of the Shepherds, imploring the Lord to shorten these times of trial. And if one day we are told by Bergoglio that, in order to remain in communion with him, we must perform an act that offends God, we will have further confirmation that he is an impostor, and that as such he has no authority.
It is the archbishop's hope that this crisis in the Church will open the eyes of many a lukewarm Catholic. He hopes that it will “permit us to see that where Christ the King does not reign, the tyranny of Satan is inevitably established; where Grace does not reign, sin and vice spread; where the Truth is not loved, people end up embracing error and heresy.” Perhaps, he hopes, this crisis will make many people who have difficulty adoring God realize “perhaps they can now understand that without God our life becomes hell.”
Archbishop Viganò concludes this interview with the hopeful words: “And let us pray that we will see the day on which a Pope will return to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice on the Altar of the Confession of Saint Peter, in the rite that Our Lord taught the Apostles and that they handed down intact through the centuries. This will also be a symbol of the restoration of the Papacy and of the Church of Christ.”
Below is the full interview with Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò:
Archbishop Viganò with Dr. Maike Hickson
on the empty Papal Altar
Omnes dii gentium dæmonia.
Psalm 95:5
LifeSiteNews: Your Excellency, in my recent article I noted that the Papal Altar of the Vatican Basilica has not been used anymore not long after it was profaned by the offering presented to the pachamama idol in October 2019. On that occasion, in the presence of Bergoglio and his court, a very grave sacrilege was carried out. What are your thoughts about this?
Archbishop Viganò: The profanation of the Vatican Basilica during the concluding ceremony of the Synod on the Amazon contaminated the Altar of the Confession, since a bowl dedicated to the infernal cult of the pachamama was placed on its surface. I find that this and other similar profanations of churches and altars re-propose in a certain manner other similar actions that have taken place in the past and allows us to understand their true nature.
What are you referring to?
I am referring to all the times when Satan has been unleashed against the Church of Christ, from the persecutions of the first Christians to the war of Khosrow of Persia against Byzantium, from the iconclastic fury of the Mohammedans to the Sack of Rome at the hands of the German Landsknechte, and later the French Revolution, the anticlericalism of the 19th century, atheistic communism, the Cristeros in Mexico and the Spanish Civil War, up to the heinous crimes of the communist partisans during and after the Second World War and the forms of christianophobia that we see today all over the world. Each time, invariably, the Revolution – in all of its various forms – confirms its own Luciferian essence, allowing the Biblical enmity between the offspring of the Serpent and the offspring of the Woman to emerge, between the children of Satan and the children of the Most Holy Virgin. There is no other explanation for this ferocity against the Blessed Mother and her children.
I think in particular of the enthronement of the “Goddess Reason” which took place on November 10, 1793, in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, at the height of the Terror. On this occasion as well, the infernal hatred of the revolutionaries wanted to replace the cult of the Mother of God with the cult of a prostitute, erected as a symbol of the Masonic religion, carried on their shoulders on a sedan chair and placed in the sanctuary. There are many analogies here with the pachamama, and they reveal the infernal mind which has inspired them.
Let us not forget that on August 10, 1793, a few months before the profanation of Notre Dame, the statue of the “Goddess Reason” was erected in the Place de la Bastille, in the guise of the Egyptian goddess Isis. It is significant that we find this reference to the cults of ancient Egypt also in the horrid “Nativity scene” that is presently standing in Saint Peter’s Square. But obviously the similarities we find in these events are also accompanied by something absolutely new.
Would you like to explain to us what this new element consists of?
I refer to the fact that whereas up until the Council – or, to be indulgent, up until this “pontificate” – profanations and sacrileges were carried out by the external enemies of the Church; since then the scandals have seen the active involvement of the highest levels of the Hierarchy, along with the culpable silence of the Bishops and the scandalization of the faithful. The Bergoglian church is giving itself an increasingly more disconcerting image, in which the negation of Catholic truths is accompanied by the explicit affirmation of an intrinsically anti-Catholic and antichristic ideology, in which the idolatrous cult of pagan divinities – that is, of demons – is no longer hidden, who are propititated with sacrilegious acts and profanations of holy things. Putting that unclean bowl on the Altar of the Confession of Saint Peter is a liturgical gesture with a precise value and a purpose that is not only symbolic. The presence of an idol of “mother earth” is a direct offense against God and the Most Holy Virgin, a tangible sign that explains in a certain sense Bergoglio’s many irreverent utterances with regard to the Blessed Mother.
It is therefore not surprising that those who want to demolish the Church of Christ and the Roman Papacy do so from the highest Throne, according to the prophecy of Our Lady at La Salette: “Rome will lose the Faith and will become the seat of the Antichrist.” It seems to me that today we can no longer speak of a simple “loss of Faith,” but we ought to take note of the next step, which is expressed in a true and proper apostasy, just as the initial subversion of Catholic worship by the liturgical reform is evolving into a form of pagan worship that includes the systematic profanation of the Blessed Sacrament – especially with the imposition of Communion in the hand under the pretext of Covid – and into an ever more evident aversion towards the ancient liturgy.
In essence, many forms of initial “prudence” in concealing the true intentions of the Innovators are decreasing, revealing the true nature of the work carried out by God’s enemies. The pretext of common prayer for peace which legitimized the slaughter of chickens and other scandalous abominations in Assisi is no longer needed, and it is theorized that brotherhood among men can leave God aside as well as the salvific mission of the Church.
What is your assessment of the events beginning in October 2019, in particular Bergoglio’s abandonment of the title of Vicar of Christ, the fact that he does not celebrate anymore Mass at the Papal Altar, and the suspension of the public celebration of Mass at Santa Marta?
The philosophical principle “Agere sequitur esse” teaches us that everything acts in conformity with what it is. Whoever refuses to be called Vicar of Christ apparently has the perception that this title does not suit him, or even looks with contempt at the possibility of being the Vicar of the One whom by his words and actions Bergoglio shows that he does not wish to recognize and adore as God. Or, more simply, he does not consider that his own role at the top of the Church ought to coincide with the Catholic concept of the papacy, but, rather, with an “updated” and “demythologized” version of it. At the same time, since he does not consider himself to be Vicar of Christ, Bergoglio can also exempt himself from acting as such, casually adulterating the Magisterium and giving scandal to the entire Christian people. Celebrating in pontificalibus at the altar erected over the tomb of the Apostle Peter would make the Argentine disappear, would overshadow his eccentricities, his perpetually disgusted expression that he does not succeed in concealing as often as he celebrates the papal functions: instead, it is much better for him to stand out on the deserted Sagrato of Saint Peter’s, in full lockdown, drawing to himself the attention of the faithful that would otherwise be directed towards God.
Do you therefore recognize the “symbolic” value of the acts of Pope Francis?
The symbols have their own precise value: his choice of name, his decision to live at Domus Santa Marta, the abandonment of the insignia and vestments proper to the Roman Pontiff, such as the red mozzetta, the rochet and stole, or the papal coat of arms on his fascia (sash). The obsessive emphasis on all that is profane is symbolic, as is the intolerance of everything that recalls specifically Catholic content. And perhaps the gesture by which, at the epiclesis during the Consecration of the Mass, Bergoglio always completely covers the chalice, plugging it with his hands, as if he wants to impede the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, is also symbolic.
Likewise, just as in the act of kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament one witnesses to faith in the Real Presence and an act of latria (adoration) is performed towards God, by not kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament, Bergoglio publicly proclaims that he does not want to humble himself before God, but he has no problem getting down on his hands and knees before immigrants or officials of an African republic. And in prostrating themselves before the pachamama, some friars, sisters, clerics, and laity have performed an act of true and proper idolatry, unduly honoring an idol and offering worship to a demon. Symbols, signs, and ritual gestures are thus the instrument by which the Bergoglian church reveals itself for what it is.
All of these “rites” of the new church, these “ceremonies” that are more or less indicated, these elements borrowed from profane liturgies, are by no means accidental. They constitute one of the shifts of the Overton window towards that which in reality Bergoglio had already theorized in his interventions and the acts of his “magisterium.” On the other hand, the witch doctor who made the sign of Shiva on the brow of John Paul II and the Buddha adored on top of the tabernacle in Assisi may be understood in their perfect coherence with the present horrors, exactly as, in the societal sphere, prior to considering abortion acceptable in the ninth month it had to be legitimized in more limited cases, and prior to legalizing marriage between persons of the same sex it was prudently preferred to allow people to believe that the legal protection of sodomy would not eventually call into question the institution of natural marriage between a man and a woman.
Your Excellency, do you believe that these events will have a further development?
If the Lord, the Eternal High Priest, does not deign to put an end to this action of general perversion of the Hierarchy, the Catholic Church will be increasingly obscured by the sect that abusively superimposes itself upon her. We trust in the promises of Christ and in the special assistance of the Holy Spirit, but we must not forget that the apostasy of the highest levels of the Church is a necessary part of the eschatological events [the events of the end times] that cannot be avoided.
I believe that the premises that have been laid down up to this point – which in good part go back to Vatican II – will inexorably lead in an ever more explicit way towards a “profession of apostasy” by the leaders of the Bergoglian church. The Enemy demands fidelity from his servants, and if at the beginning he appears to be content with a wooden idol adored in the Vatican Gardens, or an offering of soil and plants placed upon the Altar of Saint Peter, he will shortly demand public and official worship that replaces the perpetual Sacrifice. Thus there would be realized what Daniel prophesied with regard to the abomination of desolation that stands in the holy place. I note the precise expression of Sacred Scripture: “Cum videritis abominationem desolationis stantem in loco sancto” [When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place] (Mt 24:15). It is clearly written that this abomination will stand, that is, it will be in a position of brazen and arrogant imposition of itself in the place that is most foreign and alien to it. It will be a disgrace, a scandal, an unprecedented thing, of which there are not adequate words to express condemnation.
What awaits us, if things continue in this direction?
In my opinion, what we are witnessing represents the general rehearsal for the establishment of the kingdom of the Antichrist, which will be preceded by the preaching of the False Prophet, the Precursor of the one who will carry out the final persecution against the Church before Our Lord’s definitive and crushing victory.
The “symbolic void” of the Papal Altar is not only a warning for those who pretend not to see the scandals of this “papacy.” It is in some manner a way in which Bergoglio wants to accustom us to taking note of a substantial mutation of the Papacy and the Church herself; to see in him not only the last of the long line of Roman Pontiffs whom Christ has ordered to feed His sheep and His lambs, but also the first head of a philanthropic multinational organization that usurps the name “Catholic Church” only because it allows him to enjoy a prestige and authority that are difficult to equal, even in times of general religious crisis.
The paradox is therefore obvious: Bergoglio knows that he can effectively destroy the Catholic Church only if he is recognized as the Pope, but at the same time he cannot exercise the Papacy in the strict sense of the term, because doing so would necessarily require that he speak, behave, and appear as the Vicar of Christ and the Successor of the Prince of the Apostles. It is the same paradox that we see in the civil and political sphere, where those who are constituted in authority to govern public affairs and promote the bonum commune are at the same time emissaries of the elite and have the task of destroying the Nation and violating the rights of citizens. Behind the deep state and the deep church there is always the same inspirer: Satan.
What can the laity and clergy do to prevent this rush towards the abyss?
The Church does not belong to the Pope, and even less does she belong to a clique of heretics and fornicators that has succeeded in coming to power by deception and fraud. Therefore, we ought to unite our supernatural faith in the constant action of God in the midst of His people with a work of resistance, as counseled by the Fathers of the Church: Catholics have the duty of opposing the infidelity of their Shepherds, because the obedience that they owe them is aimed at the glory of God and the salvation of souls. We therefore denounce everything that represents a betrayal of the mission of the Shepherds, imploring the Lord to shorten these times of trial. And if one day we are told by Bergoglio that, in order to remain in communion with him, we must perform an act that offends God, we will have further confirmation that he is an impostor, and that as such he has no authority.
Therefore, let us pray. Let us pray very much and with fervor, mindful of the words of the Savior and of His final victory. We will be judged, not for the scandals of Bergoglio and his accomplices, but for our fidelity to the teaching of Christ: a fidelity that begins with living in God’s grace, receiving the Sacraments frequently, and offering sacrifices and penances for the salvation of the Ministers of God.
What is your wish for this coming Christmas?
My wish is that these times of trial may permit us to see that where Christ the King does not reign, the tyranny of Satan is inevitably established; where Grace does not reign, sin and vice spread; where the Truth is not loved, people end up embracing error and heresy. If up until now many lukewarm souls have not known how to turn to God, recognizing that they can find the full and perfect realization of their existence in Him alone, perhaps they can now understand that without God our life becomes hell.
As the shepherds prostrated themselves in adoration at the feet of the Infant King, placed in the manger but significantly clothed in the swaddling bands that in antiquity constituted the prerogative of sovereigns, so we too must gather in prayer around the altar – even though it may be in an attic or a cellar in order to escape persecution or bans on gatherings – because even in the poverty of a clandestine chapel or an abandoned church the Lord descends on the altar to mystically sacrifice Himself for our salvation.
And let us pray that we will see the day on which a Pope will return to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice on the Altar of the Confession of Saint Peter, in the rite that Our Lord taught the Apostles and that they handed down intact through the centuries. This will also be a symbol of the restoration of the Papacy and of the Church of Christ.

LONDON , England , December 23 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — An online British appeals court has denied an attempt by family members to preserve the life of a Polish man who is lying in a coma in England .

The patient's extended family are arguing that he would not wish his life to end in this manner
LONDON, England, December 23, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — An online British appeals court has denied an attempt by family members to preserve the life of a Polish man who is lying in a coma in England.
Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Peter Jackson stated today that they did not accept arguments to allow an appeal of a lower court decision ruling that artificial ventilation, nutrition and hydration should be removed from the middle-aged man.
The patient, known publicly only as “P” or “RS”, suffered severe brain damage after a heart attack at his home in England’s West Midlands in November. He is currently in a coma, and doctors believe that he will spend the rest of his life in a “minimally conscious” state. According to a British “Quality of Life” assessment, his continued life would not be “meaningful.” A legal team for the University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, which is responsible for RS’s care, asked a Court of Protection to rule that it would be lawful to discontinue life-sustaining treatment for RS. This would include the removal of his feeding and hydration tubes.
RS's wife, who has testified that RS said that he never wanted to be a “burden on his family,” supports the NHS’s application that all medical intervention sustaining his life should end. However, RS’s extended family, including his mother and sister in Poland, and a sister and niece in England, object to his state-sanctioned killing, arguing that as a church-attending Roman Catholic who was opposed to both abortion and euthanasia, RS would not wish his life to end in this manner.
In a hearing held on December 15, Mr Justice (Jonathan) Cohen sided with the NHS and RS’s wife and children, saying that removal of life support would be in RS “best interests.” Regarding the discrepancies between RS’s birth family’s statements about his Roman Catholic beliefs, and his wife’s belief that RS would not want to be kept alive in his current circumstances, Cohen decided that his wife knew him better than his birth family.
David Lock, QC, the solicitor for RS’s mother and birth family, argued, in his application for an appeal, that there had been a procedural error in that the patient’s beliefs were not sufficiently addressed. Lock stated that, had the hearing not been so rushed, the “tenets of the Catholic faith” would have been made clearer to the court.
Neither Lady Justice King nor Lord Justice Peter Jackson seemed sympathetic to this argument, especially as Lock did not state that there should have been expert testimony from an authority on Catholic teachings. Jackson said that Justice Cohen had acknowledged that the Catholic Church is in “favor of preserving life” and that Cohen had understood that.
What is not clear from the application appeal is whether or not Cohen understood that the Catholic Church absolutely condemns the killing of vulnerable patients through the withdrawal of care leading to death by starvation and/or dehydration. However, it was clear that to what extent RS adhered to the teachings of the Catholic Church, and what light his most intimate conduct shone upon that, was certainly examined, even to the extent that his irregular marriage was taken as evidence that he might have dissented on the Church’s teachings regarding end-of-life care.
Lady Justice King, known for her role in the state-sanctioned killing of Alfie Evans, argued that RS was estranged from his birth family, a point which Lock contested. It is clear, however, that RS’s wife is estranged from her in-laws, for she has not spoken to RS’s mother since her marriage to RS 17 years ago. King also seemed to argue that RS was not a faithful Catholic, having married a divorcee and not being able to receive Communion.
It was, however, pointed out during the application that RS habitually went to Mass once a month. Meanwhile, according to the extended family’s testimony, repeated in Lord Justice Jackson’s decision, RS had been very compassionate towards ailing, elderly relations, opposed abortion and euthanasia, and that it was a matter of great pain to him that he had not been able to get an annulment and resume receiving Holy Communion.
It also emerged that, upon being questioned regarding her testimony, RS’s wife became distraught and Justice Cohen had called an end to that particular proceeding. Lock had suggested that this, and the submission of a private letter by the wife to Cohen about her premarital relationship with her husband, were also errors.

Lady Justice King agreed with Jackson’s judgement and expressed condolences, first to RS’s wife and children, and then to his birth family. None of the family members were visible during the online session.
After the judgement, Lock stated that RS’s mother would like to travel to Britain from Poland to say good-bye to her son before his death and noted that this may take some time, given the current travel restrictions and quarantine. King acknowledged this wish, but made it clear that there was “no stay on the order.”
King then announced that the Polish Embassy had sent an email during the session about the case. She said that the Court will thank the Polish Embassy for its interest and sent it a copy of its judgment.
A court order forbids the publication of the names of RS and his family members. Recording the court session would have been a criminal offense.
Roger Kiska of Christian Concern told LifeSiteNews today that Lady Justice King’s remark’s doubting RS’s adherence to Catholic beliefs about end-of-life care given his marriage to a divorcee was “a secular inference that was really inappropriate.”

GENEVA , Switzerland , December 23 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — The World Health Organization ( WHO ) has updated its definition of “ herd immunity , ” redefining the term as something only achievable when the “ vast majority of a population are vaccinated.

Bhattacharya told LifeSiteNews , “ The revised definition of herd immunity ’ at the WHO site is not actually a definition of herd immunity .

” However , he clarifies , “ [ h ] erd immunity describes the situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and vaccine-induced immunity – every new person infected with an infectious disease will pass the infection on to an average of one person or fewer .

It was recently discovered that the WHO changed this definition, suppressing the fact that immunity happens as a natural process in populations as individuals are infected and develop immunity to a particular virus. Such “herd immunity” can, potentially, be assisted by a vaccine but is not dependent upon it.
The WHO definition prior to the change stated:
Herd immunity is the indirect protection from an infectious disease that happens when a population is immune either through vaccination or immunity developed through previous infection. This means that even people who haven’t been infected, or in whom an infection hasn’t triggered an immune response, they are protected because people around them who are immune can act as buffers between them and an infected person [emphasis added].
The WHO’s new definition is largely drawn from a speech delivered in October by the organization’s Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. It suppresses the fact that herd immunity is achieved by natural means and narrows the concept as to apply only to the process of vaccination, suggesting that protection from COVID-19 can’t happen without mass vaccination.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition **Photo credit: Shutterstock.com Mainstream media sources are promoting offensive suggestions by some doctors that people who refuse a vaccine for COVID-19 should be "punished" by the government and by business - effectively coercing them into taking the vaccine. One group of doctors writing in 'USA Today' suggested that the government impose special taxes (i.e., fines) on people who refuse the vaccination and that business simply refuse to serve them. [see story below]
Another doctor writing in an online publication called 'The Conversation' shamelessly suggested that people who refuse a vaccine should be given a psychoactive drug to induce compliance. [see story below] But, these suggestions are plain political posturing, and have nothing to do with science or with the recent trends of the disease. And, in case they haven't noticed, we live in a democracy not a medical dictatorship! Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks policy-makers and business people, at all levels, to pledge to respect the rights of those who, in good conscience, decide not to vaccinate themselves or their children. People should not have to live in fear of governmental or corporate retribution for refusing a vaccine which is being rushed to market by Big Pharma and their fellow-travelers in NGOs, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It would be intolerable and immoral for the government or business to coerce someone, and their family, to take a COVID vaccine against their will to avoid a fine, or just so they can do their weekly grocery shopping. Medical freedom must be respected in principle and also in practice. So, it is now time that our policy-makers listen to all voices involved in this vital conversation, and start to represent those who will not tolerate being punished for refusing a vaccine. Simply put, legislatures must begin to act as legislatures again. Questions must be asked. Hearings and investigations must be held. And, the legislatures of each state and country must return to the business of representing the people who voted for them, assuming their rightful place as the originator of legislation. We can no longer accept the dictates of executive branches without question, especially now that, statistically speaking, the initial brunt of the COVID crisis has passed. Neither can we accept the dictates of doctors who seem detached from reality and from science, and who only seem to be attached to the idea of promoting ideas which contribute to the agrandizement of power and control of political interests, and wealth of those who stand to make a lot of money from the sale of a COVID vaccine. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks government and business leaders to pledge to respect the rights of those who refuse a COVID vaccine, and not seek to punish them for doing so.

Finally, he affirms, “The WHO attempting to alter the definition will not change that basic biological fact.”
Also commenting on the WHO’s new definition was Dr. Michael Yeadon, a former vice president and chief scientist for Pfizer pharmaceutical. In a Monday tweet presenting the new definition, the British national calls it a “lot of chuff” which is “factually wrong in numerous ways.”

Later in its presentation on the topic, the WHO states that “The vast majority of people in most countries remain susceptible to this virus. Seroprevalence surveys suggest that in most countries, less than 10% of the population have been infected with COVID-19.”
In an earlier analysis of these questions, Yeadon called such a presumption of 100% initial susceptibility to the COVID-19 virus “ridiculous because while SARS-CoV-2 is indeed novel, coronaviruses are not.”
He pointed out that there are at least “four, endemic, common-cold inducing coronaviruses … [which] circulate freely in UK and elsewhere.” Those who have been infected by “one or more of these endemic, common-cold producing coronaviruses in the past, have a long-lived and robust [T-cell] immunity, not only to those viruses, but to closely related viruses. SARS-CoV-2 is one such closely-related virus.”
“To not expect such cross-over is … to demonstrate the lack of the requisite understanding” for being effective in mitigating harms due to an epidemic, he wrote.
Thus, drawing from the scientific data, Dr. Yeadon concluded that due to previous exposure to common-cold coronaviruses, “a significant proportion (30%) of the population went into 2020 armed with T-cells capable of defending them against SARS-CoV-2, even though they had never seen the virus,” and that public health authorities are “naively wrong to assume ‘everyone was susceptible’.”
In addition to these 30%, Yeadon also demonstrates that concluding a “less than 10%” infection rate of the population, based on seroprevalence surveys, “is a gross and amateur underestimate,” since “not every person, infected by a respiratory virus, goes on to produce antibodies” and that is what these surveys measure.
Drawing from two independent methods, which arrive at the same general conclusion, Yeadon demonstrates that the real infection rate is “in the mid-20s to low-30’s per cent,” and thus WHO’s estimate “less than 10%” is “a gross and amateur underestimate.”
Thus, combining these figures together, and considering one can add 10% for some young children who are “resistant,” one arrives at the conclusion that 65 to 72% of the population is currently immune to COVID-19, achieving, Yeadon says, herd immunity.
“Accordingly,” Yeadon concludes, societies “should immediately be permitted to get back to normal life.”

lifesitenews--2020-12-23--Congress approves COVID-19 ‘relief’ deal loaded with left-wing pork, Trump may veto

WASHINGTON , D.C. , December 23 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – After months of failed negotiations and partisan finger-pointing , Congress has approved a $ 900 billion COVID-19 relief bill mixing direct relief for Americans and businesses struggling amid lockdowns with millions in spending on unrelated left-wing causes .
Per the Associated Press , the deal contains a $ 600 direct payment to most Americans , a temporary $ 300 per week supplementary jobless benefit , and various subsidies for schools , businesses , and healthcare providers affected by COVID-19 and the restrictions imposed by various state and local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passed 92-6 in the Senate and 359-53 in the House of Representatives Monday , just hours after release , before lawmakers had an opportunity to carefully study its contents .
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri , a populist conservative considered by some a future presidential contender , upset some in his own base by supporting the bill : While some have derided the $ 600 direct payments as insufficient , others have focused on the deal ’ s inclusion of spending and law changes on interests entirely unrelated to COVID-19 or lockdowns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Kennedy Center and more : “ While leadership assured us that this wouldn ’ t bail out state and local governments that are destroying small businesses with lockdowns , it contains billions in funds for things like transit systems and infrastructure funds that will fill out their budgets all the same , ” said Rep. Chip Roy ( R-TX ) .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!
