Nuns in MAGA masks at Trump election rally
I reckon they know it also means Make Ardern Go Away


"News of electoral fraud is multiplying, despite the shameful attempts of the mainstream media to censor the truth of the facts in order to give their candidate the advantage. 

"There are states in which the number of votes is greater than the number of voters; others in which the mail-in vote seems to be exclusively in favor of Joe Biden; others in which the counting of ballots has been suspended for no reason or where sensational tampering has been discovered: always and only against President Donald J. Trump, always and only in favor of Biden."

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, former Apostolic Nuncio to the US, has spoken out once again to " devout Christians and faithful citizens of the United States of America ... while the final results of the Presidential election are still uncertain."

In truth," says +Viganò, "for months now we have been witnessing a continuous trickle of staggered news, of manipulated or censored information, of crimes that have been silenced or covered up in the face of striking evidence and irrefutable testimony. We have seen the deep state organize itself, well in advance, to carry out the most colossal electoral fraud in history, in order to ensure the defeat of the man who has strenuously opposed the establishment of the New World Order that is wanted by the children of darkness.

"In this battle, you have not failed, as is your sacred duty, to make your own contribution by taking the side of the Good. Others, enslaved by vices or blinded by infernal hatred against Our Lord, have taken the side of Evil."

 +Viganò has an unlikely accomplice, in the shape of Roger Kimball at American Greatness, as reported by Lindsay Perigo this evening:

"Biden didn’t really campaign because he—or at least his handlers—knew the fix was in. They knew that compliant polls would cook the numbers to show that Biden was 10, 15, or even 17 points ahead nationally and in all the battleground states even though he was more or less tied or even behind. The psychological, which means the political effect of that, was to insinuate an element of unreality into the whole campaign and to present the public, and the pundits who were there to spoonfeed them, with a false narrative about the performance and therefore the prospects of the two candidates."

This evening I took "the side of the Good" in +Viganò's terms, by praying the Rosary, as he has urged us to do, in my parish church of St Joseph's, Waipukurau. I prayed alone. That is, not counting two Facebook friends who'd said they were with me in spirit, praying the Rosary at the same time. 

This morning I'd emailed our Holy Trinity Parish secretary with a notice for parishioners asking them to join in praying the Rosary at  5 p m today, for the United States of America. It wasn't long before I had a reply: "Fr Paul (Kerridge, parish priest) does not approve." 

So a parish priest does not approve of his parishioners praying the Rosary together in their church. At least, not for the USA. Or did Father assume we'd be praying for Trump? That's more like it. We know how the liberal bishops of this country, and liberal priests, have sided against the greatest pro-life president in US history.  

So as the one other parishioner who could have joined me wasn't well, I prayed alone - not for victory for President Trump, but for God's will to be done.  

When I first heard yesterday that Biden was ahead in the polls, I was appalled. I staggered around my 'other' garden (on our son's farm), saying "Dear God, help us". I couldn't bear to think of America (and the world) in the hands of a liar like Biden or worse, at the mercy of his  inevitable replacement - Biden obviously being a straw man, to be dispensed with asap by his Democrat and global puppeteers. 

Five and a half hours on my knees amid rampant oxalis, convolvulus, rogue jasmine and ivy restored my equilibrium. I realised that for weeks now I've had trouble reconciling a Trump win with all the prophecies, especially Our Lady's, of a chastisement on mankind, richly deserved, which +Viganò himself has described in citing the 'Great Reset', designed by a global élite that wants to subdue all of humanity (see my Tuesday's post at https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2020/11/if-biden-wins-catholics-cant-say-we.html.)

And so I prayed and am praying, that God's will be done. Fiat voluntas tua.

Roger Kimball continues:

"The reason Sleepy Joe hid in the basement all the while. The fix was in. (Nancy) Pelosi said weeks ago "We have it in the bag." The Steal was years in the making:

"... For months, people on both sides of the aisle noted the huge discrepancy between the campaign styles of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Trump was a dynamo, sitting for interviews, holding press conferences, participating in an ever-increasing series of rallies across the country.

"Joe Biden, by contrast, rarely left his basement and when he did it was to address 10 or 15 carefully screened supporters or pundits who were coached about what they could say. Even Biden’s supporters, the innocent ones, marked the difference and were concerned. How could their candidate win when he basically refused to campaign?

"We now know the answer.

"Biden didn’t really campaign because he—or at least his handlers—knew the fix was in. They knew that compliant polls would cook the numbers to show that Biden was 10, 15, or even 17 points ahead nationally and in all the battleground states even though he was more or less tied or even behind. The psychological, which means the political effect of that, was to insinuate an element of unreality into the whole campaign and to present the public, and the pundits who were there to spoonfeed them, with a false narrative about the performance and therefore the prospects of the two candidates.

"The committee fielding Biden also knew that the media was almost totally on board with a Biden candidacy.

Just like NZ's media were on board with Ardern. 

This was clear during the campaign when an overwhelming majority of media coverage was both hostile to Trump and almost comically careful about Biden.

"Consider the conspiracy of silence about Hunter Biden’s laptop or the revelations of Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski ... (w)ith the exception of a few dissident outlets.. (Special praise goes to the New York Post and to Tucker Carlson for bucking the trend and bringing these stories to the public.)

"That most of the media was all-in for Biden was also clear during the election itself."

Just like the media here were all-in for Ardern. 

"Fox News notoriously acted as a cheerleader for Biden. They refused to call Florida for Trump for hours after it was clear that he had won it. They then ceded Arizona to Biden, though it was by no means clear that he had prevailed there and some voters were still in line at the polls. Fox eventually walked back its call (sort of), but only after the damage to Trump’s momentum had been clocked. Two days after the election, Fox refuses to call Alaska and other states for Trump even though it is crystal clear that he has won them.

"Finally, the forces arrayed behind Biden knew that the whole bureaucracy of the state—the poll workers and postal workers in battleground states, for example—would be on board for Biden and would be carefully coached in deploying techniques to manufacture or suppress ballots, as necessary, and skew the vote.

"We see all this playing out before our eyes—or, rather, we see the external manifestations of the massive effort to queer the election for Donald Trump.

Last time, in 2016, the establishment was not ready for Donald Trump. They were complacent because they just knew that Trump could not win, that Hillary Clinton was a sure thing. So they were both careless in covering their tracks and lazy about mounting a serious ground game against Trump should he win. 

"When he did win they screamed and stomped their tiny feet. They paraded around the Washington Mall in pink hats meant to resemble female genitalia in order to protest against Trump’s crudity. Less than 20 minutes after Trump was inaugurated the Washington Post informed its readers that the push for impeachment had begun.

"But the fact remains, the establishment and its media megaphones were blindsided. They thought a Trump victory was impossible. This time, they knew that it was not only possible but probable, and they prepared accordingly.

"Biden’s supporters, from Mitt Romney and Bill Kristol down to Chuck Todd, Chris Wallace, and the unsung destroyers of Trump ballots and fabricators of Biden ballots, all girded their loins and were prepared for a reprise of Trump in 2016. They were ready. But here’s what is surprising them: so was Donald Trump. 

"It is touch and go, but writing now, Anno Domini Guy Fawkes Day 2020, I think that the president will prevail. That is to say, the legitimate ballots will be counted, the illegitimate ones will be discarded, and Donald Trump will be president for four more years. Get ready, though.
"Victory will not come without a fight.

 As +Viganò says:

"Do not think that the children of darkness act with honesty, and do not be scandalized if they operate with deception. ... The Lord has warned us against the Devil: “He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies(Jn 8:44).

"In these hours, while the gates of Hell seem to prevail, I ask you to make an act of trust in God, an act of humility and filial devotion to The Lord of Armies. I ask that all of you pray the Holy Rosary, if possible in your families or with your dear ones, your friends, your brothers and sisters, your colleagues, your fellow soldiers.

"Pray with the abandonment of children who know how to have recourse to their Most Holy Mother to ask her to intercede before the throne of the Divine Majesty. Pray with a sincere soul, with a pure heart, in the certainty of being heard and answered.

"Ask her – she who is the Help of Christians, Auxilium Christianorum – to defeat the forces of the Enemy; ask her – she who is terrible as an army set in battle array (Song 6:10) – to grant the victory to the forces of Good and to inflict a humiliating defeat on the forces of Evil.

"Have your children pray, using the holy words that you have taught them: those confident prayers will rise to God and will not remain unheard. Have the elderly and sick pray, so that they may offer their sufferings in union with the sufferings that Our Lord suffered on the Cross when he shed His Precious Blood for Our Redemption. Have young ladies and women pray, so that they turn to her who is the model of purity and motherhood.

"And you, men, must also pray: your courage, your honor and your boldness will be refreshed and strengthened. All of you, take up this spiritual weapon, before which Satan and his minions retreat furiously, because they fear the Most Holy Virgin, she who is Almighty by Grace, even more than Almighty God*.

"Do not allow yourselves to be discouraged by the deceptions of the Enemy, even more so in this terrible hour in which the impudence of lying and fraud dares to challenge Heaven. Our adversaries’ hours are numbered if you will pray, if we will all pray with Faith and with the true ardor of Charity. May the Lord grant that one single devout and faithful voice rise from your homes, your churches, and your streets! This voice will not remain unheard, because it will be the voice of a people that cries out, in the moment when the storm rages most fiercely, “Save us, Lord, we are perishing!” (Mt 8:25).

"The days that await us are a precious occasion for all of you, and for those who unite themselves spiritually to you from every part of the world"...

That's us, in New Zealand. 

... "You have the honor and privilege of being able to participate in the victory of this spiritual battle, to wield the powerful weapon of the Holy Rosary as our fathers did at Lepanto to repel the enemy armies.

"Pray with the certainty of Our Lord’s promise: Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you(Lk 11:9). The King of Kings, from whom you ask the salvation of your Nation, will reward your Faith. Your testimony, remember this, will touch the heart of Our Lord, multiplying the heavenly Graces which are, more than ever, indispensable in order to achieve victory.

"May my appeal, which I address to you and to all people who recognize the Lordship of God, find you to be generous apostles and courageous witnesses of the spiritual rebirth of your beloved country, and with it the entire world. Non praevalebunt.

God bless and protect the United States of America!

One Nation under God

  1. Very little if any, evidence has been presented about vote fraud. Best you check the CNN website which dissects each quote of Trump and exposes the quotes as lacking proof. It's sad as Trump would have been reelected if he hadn't played the blame game thruout his term of office. And look at all those staff he sacked. A great chance lost by poor political marketing.

    Julia would it not be better to pray directly to God instead of some inanimate beads I am and trying to think you might get a better answer

    Bob Gill says:
    Ian, experience tells Catholics that the Blessed Virgin's prayer (the Rosary) is extremely efficacious in asking for God's help in any matter - which is why we automatically use this method in asking our Mother's help in any situation. Next to the Mass, the saints tell us too that there is no better prayer to God than the Rosary.

    Noels Famularo says:
    Definitely not over.

    The Rosary is the best weapon we have to pray for something.

    Always pray my Rosary in the evenings.

  10. The rosary is vocal and meditative and contains every mystery of our salvation.

    Ian, at your age I would expect you to know the history of the rosary if you are a Catholic. The beads are counters - as you should know.

    Ian Wotherspoon says:
    No history on the beads at all I prefer to pray to Jesus directly, because Jesus said" I am the way the truth and the light, no man can come to the Father except through me." So I don't count beads rosary or toes.

    I say:

    It was Mary who gave us Her Son, Jesus; She is the Mediatrix of all Graces, the Gate of Heaven, Morning Star, Health of the sick, Refuge of sinners, Queen of Angels - I could go on. To pray the Holy Rosary is to pray the Gospel.

    Being a slightly younger Catholic I have recently learned that the Rosary comprises 15 decades, not 5, as other "younger " might believe... "younger" Catholics that is

    Monica Devine says:
    20 decades now with the 'Luminous Mysteries'.

    I say:
    I used to pray the Luminous Mysteries of Pope John Paul II. Not any longer. I realised that the Rosary being primarily a prayer celebrating the Mother of God, five decades commemorating events at which Jesus is the central figure, and only one of which is documented in Scripture as graced by the presence of the BVM, are inappropriate.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Does this mean you think it is inappropriate to pray the sorrowful mysteries too, Julie.

    ReplyDelete
  14. We know that the BVM as co-Redemptrix was intimately associated with the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, experiencing His all His suffering Herself in Her soul, culminating in offering Him her veil and standing beneath the Cross, offering Herself with Him for our Salvation.
    The Sorrowful Mysteries, like the Joyfuls, are all specific events, while the 3rd Luminous, the 'Proclamation of the Kingdom', is a generalised teaching of the Church, as is the 'Paschal Mystery' referred to in the 5th Luminous, the 'Institution of the Eucharist', which in the post-Vat II Church is given a new twist in a new interpretation of the Mass as primarily a Eucharistic Meal, to make Holy Mass more palatable to Protestants.
    And Pope Leo XIII reminds us that for centuries the Holy Rosary was was called the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin by several Roman Pontiffs because the 150 Hail Marys correspond to the 150 Psalms. Adding another 5 Mysteries to make a total of 200 effaces that tradition of the Church which united the New Testament with the Old.

    ReplyDelete
  15. It seems to me that the Mysteries associated with the recitation of the Rosary are to be contemplated separately from that recitation, not while reciting the Hail Marys like a Hindu mantra.
    The Rosary was prayed for about 300 years before the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries were introduced.
