Delta Force: The Ordeal

8/27/2021

In a previous post, I noted down a few points about The Siege. Today, I would like to share a few thoughts concerning The Ordeal. 

Back in December of last year, I speculated on a potential development that I termed "The Great Lockout": 

If the Great Lockdown served to suspend society, the Great Lockout will become the proposed lifting of this suspension. Put another way, lockdowns were meant to push people out and away from a frozen society; lockouts will seek to thaw society and pull people back in. But this pull factor will come with conditions, and it is through these conditions that the Establishment will not only maintain its iron grip of control, but increase it. 

At the present time it appears magical medical juice will be the linchpin that keeps the totalitarian wheel spinning. Yes, the world can be your oyster again, but only if you take the magical medical juice and adhere to all the complex and intrusive bureaucratic and surveillance mechanisms installed to support it. Do that you, and the Establishment will ensure you are "locked into" the System.

Don't want the magical medical juice? No problem, but refusal will guarantee you are "locked out" of the system. You can then proceed to live the isolated and solitary life of a clam.

Given a choice like that, how many people will choose to be locked in rather than locked out? 

It does not take an ocean of imagination to realize how quickly and easily the Establishment could effectively lock individuals in or out of the System. It also does not take a great deal of perspicacity to notice that the preliminary groundwork for a lock-in/lockout system is already in place. Whether or not the Great Lockout will be fully implemented remains to be seen, but many developments in the world today point in that direction. Whatever the case, the Establishment wants to ensure the lock remains in place.   


The Great Lockout is currently in full swing around the world. In some places, the unpecked are prohibited from entering cafés, restaurants, theaters, etc.  Other countries have taken the lockout a step further by denying the unpecked access to employment, education, even healthcare. Peck mandates are popping up all over the place. The demons behind the peck mandates must really love The Godfather films because the mandates essentially present the unpecked with "offers they can't refuse."

Get pecked or get fired. Get pecked or get out of university. Get pecked or the doctor will refuse to see you. Get pecked or we'll make you pay. And so on. 

Being confronted with an "offer you can't refuse" is distressing, particularly if the offer in question jeopardizes your ability to earn money, pursue your ambitions, or feed your family. I do not consider it hyperbole to label this kind of demonic pressure an ordeal.

When confronted with potential ordeals, we tend to imagine them as prolonged, seemingly endless affairs, but experience shows us that this is usually not the case.

For example, a few months ago I lived through a lockout here in Hungary. The Hungarian government was one of the first to implement segregation measures against the unpecked and as spring unfolded and the weather began to improve, the government unexpectedly decreed that all unpecked people would be barred from practically everything but essential services. This turned out to be quite the ordeal for some, and they quickly gave in to the offer they thought they couldn't refuse and ran out and got pecked. 

Four or five weeks later, the Hungarian government unceremoniously canceled the segregation measures against the unpecked. Suddenly the pecked and unpecked were on equal terms again. Surrendering to the demonic pressure had bought the "pressured into the peck" people five weeks of "freedom and privilege." Nothing more.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that the same thing will happen with every "offer that can't be refused", but my experience demonstrates that it can and does happen. Nevertheless, you only really benefit (that's probably not the right word, but hopefully you get what I mean) if you find a way to refuse the offer that can't be refused. 

I'm not one for giving advice. Everyone is responsible for himself and herself. We all have our own choices to make. But I will say this - if you are subjected to demonic pressure during which you are made an offer you seemingly can't refuse, then I humbly suggest doing everything in your power to find a way to refuse. At the very least, find a way to delay.

The end of that seemingly never-ending ordeal may be just around the corner.

Your ability to resist the VirusRegime is measured by your willingness to suffer.

I have already planted my flag in the ground by refusing to get Pecked under any circumstances and so far this has led to me sending my regrets to a wedding invitation (in a city where weaponized hypochondriasis is in play).

Our friends and family, whether they realize it or not, are weaponized against us also. They are the unpaid enforcers of the Regime. But if you're firm in your resolutions (and they see their relationship with you as primary - over the dictates of the Regime) you can get them to respect you.

I trust in God to find a resolution to all this; there is no way He will force us to obey a System that hates Him and He will provide the graces necessary to endure, if we do not waver in our faith.

@ Ingemar - "I trust in God to find a resolution to all this; there is no way He will force us to obey a System that hates Him and He will provide the graces necessary to endure, if we do not waver in our faith."

Yes, I agree with that; however, I believe it vital to remember that the resolution God offers will be for our spiritual benefit and may not - at least on the surface - provide any perceivable material benefit.

I believe this is where your point about suffering comes in. Volumes have been written about Christianity and suffering, so I won't wade into any extended analysis here. Suffice to say, I think we need to distinguish between temporal suffering and spiritual suffering.

If we maintain true faith in God, any temporal suffering we may experience for our faith can and will be overcome. At the same time, no amount of temporal comfort, expediency, or security can compensate for the spiritual suffering caused by actively choosing to live by lies rather than Truth.

I think in many ways this is a blessing by God. Attending various modern entertainments are not our purpose here. Drinking, drug use, hedonism, etc. is sinful and not our purpose.

Leaving Universities for God may not be a loss either. Finding one that is not corrupted would be better, if necessary leaving that corporate cycle and entering the trades may enable more freedom physically and spiritually.

We have too many false choices today. Clarifying them and narrowing them is a chance to direct our lives and will in accord with His.

@ Andrew - Yes. I believe God is always actively working to arrange things in a way to provide opportunities for Good and for right choices. Our role is to recognize these opportunities for Good and make the right choices - freely and actively.

The demonic can only utilize the material to affect the spiritual. They really cannot "get at you" spiritually unless you grant them permission to do so by submitting to them. That's what this pressure amounts to - an attempt at spiritual submission via material means.

So, yeah - we have some choices to make - and these choices are not really difficult choices at all.

I assume the west want to impose some sort of social credit score on us as the Chinese have done to their own people, that only works if you have a smart phone with which they can monitor how naughty you are being and then punish you as required. I do not have a smart phone therefore I do not come onto their radar no track and trace for me. The whole key to this demonic world we live in is the addictive demonic technology which has come on line since the year 2000 without it the measures that were put in place could never have happened ultra fast broadband sealed our fate, even five years ago working from home wasn't an option as the broadband wasn't fast enough.

@ Mike - Correct. It's all about social control and enslavement. They are already revealing the plan for pecks in perpetuity.
