Declaration of Msgr. Carlo Maria ViganĂ² on the Russia-Ukraine Crisis
DECLARATION
of Msgr. Carlo Maria ViganĂ²,
Archbishop, Former Apostolic Nuncio to The United States of America
on the Russia-Ukraine Crisis
Nothing is lost with peace. All can be lost with war. Let men return to understanding. Let them
resume negotiating. Negotiating with good will and with respect for each other’s rights, let them
realize that an honorable success is never precluded when there are sincere and active negotiations.
And they will feel great – with true greatness – if imposing silence on the voices of passion,
whether collective or private, and leaving reason to its proper domain,
they will spare their brothers bloodshed and their homeland ruin.
Thus it was that on August 24, 1939, Pius XII addressed both rulers and peoples as war was
imminent. These were not words of empty pacifism, nor of complicit silence about the multiple
violations of justice that were being carried out in many quarters. In that radio message, which
some people still remember hearing, the appeal of the Roman Pontiff invoked “respect for each
other’s rights” as a prerequisite for fruitful peace negotiations.
The Media Narrative
If we look at what is happening in Ukraine, without being misled by the gross falsifications ofthe mainstream media, we realize that respect for each other’s rights has been completely
ignored; indeed, we have the impression that the Biden Administration, NATO and the
European Union deliberately want to maintain a situation of obvious imbalance, precisely to
make impossible any attempt at a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, provoking the
Russian Federation to trigger a conflict. Herein lies the seriousness of the problem. This is the
trap set for both Russia and Ukraine, using both of them to enable the globalist elite to carry
out its criminal plan.
It should not surprise us that pluralism and freedom of speech, so praised in countries that
claim to be democratic, are daily disavowed by censorship and intolerance towards opinions
not aligned with the official narrative. Manipulations of this kind have become the norm during
the so-called pandemic, to the detriment of doctors, scientists and dissenting journalists, who
have been discredited and ostracized for the mere fact of daring to question the effectiveness
of experimental serums. Two years later, the truth about the adverse effects and the
unfortunate management of the health emergency has proven them right, but the truth is
stubbornly ignored because it does not correspond to what the system wanted and still wants
today.
If the world media have so far been able to lie shamelessly on a matter of strict scientific
relevance, spreading lies and hiding reality, we should ask ourselves why, in the present
situation, they should suddenly rediscover that intellectual honesty and respect for the code of
ethics widely denied with Covid.
But if this colossal fraud has been supported and disseminated by the media, it must be
recognized that national and international health institutions, governments, magistrates, law
enforcement agencies and the Catholic Hierarchy itself all share responsibility for the disaster –
each in its own sphere by actively supporting or failing to oppose the narrative – a disaster that
has affected billions of people in their health, their property, the exercise of their individual
rights and even their very lives. Even in this case, it is difficult to imagine that those who have
been guilty of such crimes in support of a pandemic that was intended and maliciously
amplified could suddenly have a jolt of dignity and show solicitude for their citizens and their
homeland when a war threatens their security and their economy.
These, of course, can be the prudent reflections of those who want to remain neutral and look
with detachment and almost disinterest at what is happening around them. But if we deepen
our knowledge of the facts and document them, relying on authoritative and objective sources,
we discover that doubts and perplexities soon become disturbing certainties.
Even if we only want to limit our investigation to the economic aspect, we understand that news
agencies, politics and public institutions themselves depend on a small number of financial
groups belonging to an oligarchy that, significantly, is united not only by money and power, but
by the ideological affiliation that guides its action and interference in the politics of nations and
the whole world. This oligarchy shows its tentacles in the UN, NATO, the
World Economic Forum,the European Union, and in “philanthropic” institutions such as
George Soros’ Open Society and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
All these entities are private and answer to no one but themselves, and at the same time they
have the power to influence national governments, including through their own representatives
who are made to be elected or appointed to key posts. They admit it themselves, when they are
received with all the honors by Heads of State and world leaders, beginning with Italian Prime
Minister Mario Draghi (here), respected and feared by these leaders as the true masters of the
fate of the world. Thus, those who hold power in the name of the “people” find themselves
trampling on the people’s will and restricting their rights, in order to be obedient like courtiers
to masters whom nobody has elected but who nevertheless dictate their political and economic
agenda to the nations.
We come then to the Ukraine crisis, which is presented to us as a consequence of Vladimir
Putin’s expansionist arrogance towards an independent and democratic nation over which he is
trying to claim absurd rights. The “warmonger Putin” is said to be massacring the defenseless
population, who have courageously arisen to defend the soil of their homeland, the sacred
borders of their nation and the violated freedoms of the citizens. The European Union and the
United States, “defenders of democracy,” are therefore said to be unable not to intervene by
means of NATO to restore Ukraine’s autonomy, drive out the “invader” and guarantee peace. In
the face of the “tyrant’s arrogance,” it is said that the peoples of the world ought to form a
common front, imposing sanctions on the Russian Federation and sending soldiers, weapons
and economic aid to “poor” President Zelensky, “national hero” and “defender” of his people. As
proof of Putin’s “violence,” the media spread images of bombings, military searches, and
destruction, attributing responsibility to Russia. And there’s still more: precisely in order to
guarantee a “lasting peace,” the European Union and NATO are opening wide their arms to
welcome Ukraine as members. And in order to prevent “Soviet propaganda”, Europe is now
blacking out Russia Today and Sputnik, in order to ensure that information is “free and
independent.”
This is the official narrative, to which everyone conforms. Being at war, dissent immediately
becomes desertion, and those who dissent are guilty of treason and deserving of more or less
serious sanctions, starting with public execration and ostracism, well experienced with Covid
against those who are “un-vaxxed”. But the truth, if you want to know it, allows us to see things
differently and to judge the facts for what they are and not for how they are presented to us.
This is a true and proper unveiling, as indicated by the etymology of the Greek word ἀλήθεια. Or
perhaps, with an eschatological gaze, a revelation, an ἀποκάλυψις.
