Controlled opposition 'hidden in plain sight,' like the elites say

an article published on my birthday in 2020 that received very high readership: 

"We're in a battle for the soul of this nation"--Joe Biden, Campaign Ad

This whole week has been about toppling Confederate statues and flags (NASCAR banned the Confederate flag yesterday and the U.S. Navy is doing the same), "reframing" the cultural classic movie Gone With the Wind, etc., and then today the stock market dropped 1,861 points. The U.S. Civil War began in 1861.

Over and over this morning FOX News replayed a video clip of President Trump purposefully holding a Bible backwards (and upside down?) at a photo op outside St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. The president is a man who grew up attending church, says the Bible is his favorite book and boasts of having a rare collection of antique Bibles.

An opinion columnist in D.C. notes, "When Trump flashed the Bible on Monday at St. John’s Church near Washington’s Lafayette Park, he was holding it upside down and backwards, almost as if the book—or any book—has an unknown purpose. This made it painfully clear that he was using the Bible as a prop, and that his appearance in front of the church was an effort to pander to the religious right."

This week Trump retweeted a three-page letter sent him days ago by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who urges "that the good – who are the majority – wake up from their sluggishness and do not accept being deceived."

Vigano, who is said to be the arch nemesis of Pope Francis, writes to Trump, "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.

"They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that circumspection that until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions.

"The investigations already under way will reveal the true responsibility of those who managed the Covid emergency, not only in the area of health care, but also in politics, the economy, and the media. We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering there are people who have decided the fate of humanity, arrogating to themselves the right to act against the will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations.

"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. The same thing is also happening in Europe, in perfect synchrony.

"It is quite clear that the use of street protests 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. It will not be surprising if, in a few months, we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom: Solve et Coagula, as the Masonic adage teaches."

A Catholic website asks, "What did Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò mean when he warned President Donald Trump with the obscure Latin phrase: Solve et Coagula – which is the tattoo printed on the two forearms of the Free-masonic Sabbatic Goat the Baphomet? (It’s also tattooed on the wrist of Harry Potter author JK Rowling). Dr. Marshall will explain what 'Solve et Coagula' means and why occultists and magicians use the term. It’s a profound yet subtle warning by a Catholic Archbishop to the American President. Archbishop Viganò, the former Papal Nuncio to Washington DC, published an open letter to President Donald Trump claiming that pandemic misinformation and unrest in the cities are signs of a Deep State and a Deep Church inspired by forces of darkness."

The BBC News offers this definition:

The best-known modern image of Baphomet was drawn in 1856 by the French occultist Eliphas Levi, in his book Transcendental Magic: Its Doctrine and Ritual.

He envisaged a winged hermaphrodite with a torch between his horns and a pentagram on his forehead.

Its arms bore the Latin words SOLVE (separate) and COAGULA (join together) - the powers of "binding and loosing" usurped from God.

Levi's drawing was the inspiration for the Satanic Temple's new monument.

"It contains all these binary opposites - above and below, part animal, part human. Male and female," says Greaves.

"It embodies opposites and celebrates contrasts."
