Right-wing pastor and conspiracy theorist Carl Gallups appeared on TheDove TV’s “Focus Today” program this morning, where he declared that he has direct proof that the demonic “deep state” is out to destroy President Trump, thanks to his position as a “special deputy” on disgraced sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse” investigation into Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

“For years, because of my involvement in the Sheriff Arpaio/Mike Zullo deep-state criminal investigation of the Obama years,” Gallups said, “we’ve been telling the world for years about the deep state. We knew that Donald Trump was being spied upon by government agencies before he ever ran for president. We had the hard-copy evidence of it given to us by CIA informants … We knew it and we’ve been telling the media, we’ve been warning the media, we’ve been begging Congress.”

Gallups complained that “everybody called us conspiracy freaks and tinfoil-hat wearing nuts” while they “were involved in the middle of a criminal investigation from the fourth largest sheriff’s office in the nation, but we were summarily marginalized by the media and by Congress and by the courts.”

“They’re all complicit,” he said. “This thing called deep state is deeper than anyone imagines.”

“We are in the midst of prophetic times,” he warned. “It’s deeply demonic and it is deeply deep state and there is an agenda. We’re in a spiritual war.”

“I hate that I am able to say, ‘I told you so,'” Gallups added. “I wish it was that I was a nut, I wish it was that I was a mere conspiracy theorist, I wish it was that I was an idiot that didn’t know what I was talking about, but when you know stuff ahead of time … you’re always on the cutting edge and you always are ahead of your time and we have been. But now, it’s being revealed right before our eyes and I think God is the one doing the revealing.”
