The Lockout Key Begins To Turn

4/23/2021

Back in late December of last year I suggested totalitarian-controlled governments around the world might transition from The Great Lockdown to 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.

Well, I am thrilled to report that the Hungarian government - that great defender of based Christianity and nationalism - is currently implementing measures that effectively mirror what I have noted above:

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a radio interview on Friday announced that 3.5 million people have been vaccinated in Hungary, paving the way for outdoor venues to open from Saturday morning. Orbán told public broadcaster Kossuth Radio that by the middle of next week around four million shots will have been administered, and a wide range of services will be available for people with vaccine certificates.

Venues open to people with certificates will include theaters, cinemas, museums, dance and music venues, circuses, gyms, zoos, spas and swimming pools, sports venues and adventure parks, the prime minister said. It will also be possible to use the indoor areas of hotels and restaurants, he added. The country, he said, will be opened up gradually.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the tyranny of none are safe until all are safe in action.

Those who have voluntarily received the peck will get to return to some semblance of social life, with circuses and zoos to boot! And for those who have not volunteered for the peck? Very simple - no zoo for you!

Over the past four months, the government has succeeded in terrorizing over one-third of the population into getting pecked via non-stop coverage of high death tolls and killer mutant strains.

Now Orbán and crew have shifted gear. Note the timing of this latest announcement. It's spring here. The days are becoming longer and warmer. People want to get out and do things. The kids are getting restless. Teenagers who have been locked up for a better part of a year want to take dates to movies.

And it's all there just waiting for you . . . if you agree to roll up your sleeve.

Those who do not roll up their sleeves will be considered bio-hazards and will be effectively treated as such. In my particular case, I have learned to live without theaters, cinemas, museums, dance and music venues, circuses, gyms, zoos, spas, swimming pools, sports venues, and adventure parks.

But what about grocery stores? Banks? My place of employment?

This summer promises to be exceptionally interesting.

Note added: The lockout measures described above are not limited to Hungary; other countries have implemented or are in the process of implementing similar regulations.

In some ways it sounds like a simplification and clarification. If all the modern distractions - many or most detrimental to our soul's wellbeing - are forcibly removed, we might have a chance to focus more on God.

But perhaps more cynically, many people don't go to zoos, etc. these days and occupy themselves with internet entertainment (before before the lockdowns).

Are the rules really that strictly enforced there? I've heard that in a lot of places outside US/UK/AU/CA society the rules are more loosely enforced, esp. if money is involved.

@ Andrew - When the first measures were introduced in Hungary, people bent the rules. Then came the fines, closures, and in some cases, imprisonment. After that, everyone followed the rules. I don't know how this will pan out, but I believe people will have no problem following the rules en masse by the simple fact that so few seem to have an issue with these sorts of "rules" being imposed upon them in the first place.
Nearly 40% of the population has voluntarily agreed to be pecked. If or when that figure hits 60% or more, the government will have the "democratic" support it needs to apply increasing societal, economic, legal, and financial pressure on the unpecked. I can already envision the sort of media campaign it will launch against those whose mere existence is a threat to the public good and "safety" - to say nothing of the seemingly infinite amount of actions it can take to enforce misery and hardship upon those who refuse to get with the program.

The idea of lock-out is a negative refinement of the old totalitarian idea of positively trying to compel everybody to live the same way.

The strategy seems to be to start with 'the' peck - i.e. treating several different (some poorly tested tradition, other untested experimental) treatments as if they were one, and self-evidently A Good Thing (because pecks are *generically* Good and only stupid/ mad/ evil people think otherwise)...

The, when the principle is established of excluding all non-cooperators for public discourse and society - move on to other behaviours.

It is much easier to administer this double negative system (if you don't do this, you can't do that) than the old intent of trying to inspire the entire population with undying zeal for communism.

And entirely characteristic of a world without any positive motivation - because no God.

The spiritual end point? Mass resentment leading on to mass terminal despair.

@ Bruce - "The spiritual end point? Mass resentment leading on to mass terminal despair."

Yes, that it. I have to say, this past year has been an absolute masterclass in evil. I think I learned more about evil in the past year than I did in my previous 48 years combined.

Military analyst John Robb has commented that the vaccine passport system could be expanded to include "measures of mental/social health - using social credit ratings" and "security risk using government blacklists." This would essentially replicate China's "social credit system," which I recall was the source of much bemusement in the West before the West went completely crazy in March 2020.

Here in the US, the establishment would love to see all major employers, airlines, retailers, etc. adopt vaccination requirements that would amount to a quasi-mandate via the private sector. This would force the vast majority of the population into the digital passport system without the need for a single new law or executive action. The remaining holdouts would then face overwhelming social pressure to join the platform or simply be isolated into irrelevance. Of course, this would be permanent; it’s notable that absolutely no one is saying the vaccine passports would be discarded once the alleged threat of covid is eliminated.

I have my doubts about this strategy. The political pushback has been surprisingly swift, with Florida governor Ron DeSantis (for example) signing an executive order banning the abomination at the start of April, within days of a Washington Post report that the Biden administration is working on just such a system. Genuine action by conservative states could perhaps create zones of liberty in the US where something resembling ordinary life pre-covid is still possible (as indeed seems to be the case today in Florida, to a degree that often shocks people still living under medical tyranny in the Northeast).

However, this is a best-case scenario, in my opinion, that would hasten the balkanization of the US and greatly reduce the prospects of people living in those “freedom zones,” if such enclaves are not successfully destroyed by an ever more aggressive, totalitarian federal government. I agree with Dr. Charlton that we must focus on the spiritual, especially when there does not seem to be much hope for a political solution.

4/25/2021 06:43:38

@ Hari - Focusing on the spiritual is the foundation of my concept of system-distancing. Waiting for or even working toward some sort of political solution at this point is counterproductive. The former spiritually relegates us to a state of passive waiting and "hoping" forces working in our favor will triumph on our behalf (QAnon springs to mind), while the latter makes us active participants in attempting to save something that essentially cannot be saved.

Peck passports and other measurement and control metrics are but the tip of the iceberg. Barely anyone is speaking about the massive control metrics via ESG measurements being implemented across the globe. ESG is part of the climate/green control and scam the totalitarians are now pushing through the System at the corporate/governance level. It promises to be immensely disruptive and destructive.

And that leads me to a larger point - I don't think the totalitarians Great Reset schemes will work because the schemes themselves undermine the foundation upon which so much of their power is built. There is a great deal of destructive energy building up in the System at the moment. I think the Establishment will be unable to properly "manage" this destructive energy.

As for politicians - Viktor Orbán was, perhaps still is, considered an anti-Establishment bad boy - he built a fence to stop the migrant crisis in 2015, refuses to get with the trans agenda, does not support gay marriage, etc., yet here he is - among the first to implement lockout measures. Also, most of his objections to EU directives against issues like the trans agenda have already been overturned - and he has accepted these EU rulings with a shrug. Thus, his opposition has been essentially pointless - nothing more than means through which he maintains support among his "conservative" voters.

The System has become good proof. It cannot be reformed. Anyone who tries will ultimately fail or be assimilated into the System. Christ didn't expend any energy attempting to save or reform the System of His time; I don't think we should either. Besides, any real change at the temporal level would have to involve a massive shift in consciousness at the collective level, a complete internal transformation. I don't see that happening at the collective level, but it is certainly within reach or "doable" at the individual level. That's what important to me now.

Not sure if you approve of sharing links Francis, but this young gentleman, although rather uncouth and exhibiting few, if anyof the fruits of the spirit, understands exactly where all this is going. Kindly excuse the expletives, hardly the language of Milton and Shakespeare, but nonetheless....

Nice to see you in these parts again, Sean. I like the video. Sometimes expletives are useful, perhaps even needed.

I agree and support what the young man says about authoritarianism (although it is far from creeping), but as Bruce mentions above, there needs to be positive motivation. Defending civil liberties isn't going to motivate too many these days.

4/24/2021 18:46:44

You bloggers are some of the few to address the true evil/Satanic nature and take it seriously.

I mean even Priests, religious, etc. will simply want to debate the topic in purely material terms or talk about how one specific point in the Satanic agenda is illogical (as if you can have an honest conversation with a chronic, evil liar). Very disappointing!

The only religious leader I’ve heard address this directly is Vigano. All the others play into the enemy hands, beat around the bush, and speak the enemy’s language.

4/24/2021 18:53:57

For example, Vigano is the only one to point out the Pope has openly aligned himself with evil. Despite it being obvious within the first couple months of his reign - every other Catholic source plays a silly game of extracting one vaguely Orthodox statement out of endless heretical, destructive & evil statement and actions.

So many are purposely blinded. As if they witnessed a murder one minute, but immediately forget the next. Astonishing.

4/24/2021 21:58:05

@ Andrew - Very true. Purposeful blindness doesn't cut it anymore. To use Bruce Charlton's observation via C.S. Lewis - things have come to a point. There is no gray area left between good and evil. Everything is obvious and in the open. Choices must be made.

People have made or are making conscious choices about which side they are on. This includes so-called Christian leaders. It all boils down to that, I'm afraid.

Nobody says it anymore. The most common theme for a century in popular occult fiction taken from the pages of Revelation is the global one world government and the mark of the beast and how you will have to have it to buy or sell anything and now it is being implemented it's like dead silence, it's weird. And by everyone I mean everyone, right left atheist Christian. I mean you're a Christian, why aren't you bringing it up?

4/24/2021 21:49:20

@ Whitney - I've written dozen of posts about the global totalitarian takeover, the lockdown, the lockout, the loss of freedom, tyranny, the spiritual war, etc. Do you think making direct, explicit connections to the Book of Revelations would lend those posts more credence?

4/24/2021 22:39:52

I suppose not. It would probably just make you sound like a crank. I thought about that after I posted it but among the secular people that have loved "that meme" for years they just quit mentioning it, I don't know, maybe they somehow managed to remove it from their memory. They wiped their memories. So many times I've heard the people refer to biblical writers as ignorant sheepherders but here's your proof people! Those ignorant sheepherders knew what they were talking about!

this comment will be controversial because it will sound like its dismissing the book of Revelation, but here it is nonetheless: the mark of the beast passage says it is wisdom to know the number because it is the number of a man, as if some wise guy can translate 666 into a name, and what, stop it all just by pointing out who is doing it? that naivete is what allowed it all to happen, i.e. people thinking that knowing or pointing out who is doing it stops it. has it stopped it? this is all conservatives have done is name who is doing the ills in society: its this guys, its that guy. And its accomplished nothing, aside from people knowing who is doing it, but it doesn't stop it. The real wisdom is not to comply with evil stuff. The lukewarm Christian who will say "i will conply with the totalitarian mark because I don't think its the mark of the beast, after all that is in the 'hand' and this is in the upper arm" are they really a Christian? whether this is the mark of the beast or an imitation of it, its still evil. the poor faith alonist who takes it thinking otherwise is in the thrall of Satan. anyway that's my thought, as un'orthodox' as it might be.

4/25/2021 06:59:24

@ Whitney, jorgen b - You both make good points. End time prophecy is an industry all to itself and it has a certain meme-like quality about it that is easy to dismiss, denigrate, or ignore. A great deal of end time prophecy has been hijacked by forces working against God and Creation.

I don't think examining current events through the lens of Revelation would be helpful for most people. It certainly isn't helpful for me. I get the sense the practice would devolve into something similar to what happened with QAnon - people would read a few passages from Revelation and then spend the rest of their time trying to identify the manifestation of the passages in the external world or waiting for the passages to appear in the external world.

But how would this help people in their spiritual learning, growth, acceptance of salvation?

I believe we need to take a different approach - the revelation required now is what I would call an internal divine revelation. Individual creation should be our response to collective destruction.

"But what about grocery stores? Banks? My place of employment? "

I think it's a good time to start living off the grid, or making plans to. People have been living that way for thousands of years, so it's possible. In present times it's more of an idyllic lifestyle choice, or even a fantasy. But it might be the only option if you don't want to partake in this 'civilised' madness. My understanding - from reading some of your posts - is you live in a small town anyway (Francis)? I wonder if people feel the same as you do. A small group of a few families is a powerful resource when working together. It makes growing food, tending livestock, teaching children, etc, that much easier than doing alone or with a single family.

4/25/2021 22:22:41

@ K. J. - I do live in a small community, and I am sympathetic to what you have expressed in your comment.

At the same time, I believe people need to examine their fundamental motivations and be brutally realistic and honest about odds and outcomes when they begin investing a great deal of time into prepping/living off the grid. At the risk of sounding overly pessimistic, I sense most preppers underestimate the grimness of our current worldly circumstances.

Regardless of how well-prepared or isolated they are, most preppers will likely end up in situations where they will be forced to choose between physical survival and spiritual survival. That is where motivation will become key.

4/28/2021 10:28:31

@ Francis

You are probably right. But perhaps I'm overly hopeful that, in the event much measures taken in the future by governments worldwide, much attention will be focused in the city centers. Unless they send troops to literally round up dissident country folks, there is part of me that feels that they will have more pressing matters to attend to. Of course, I'm just postulating. The Terminator series comes to mind, where the last hope of humanity is literally hiding in tunnels; a grotesque illustration, yet, my imagination turns to some possibility as such.

Just like what happened in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge, the evil was so rife that the system was simply not sustainable and destroyed itself from within. I think evil, in it's very nature, is not sustainable - when there is no good left to consume it will consume itself. And if people are able to wait it out (somehow) then perhaps who is left standing can somewhat repair the damage done and begin anew.

4/28/2021 11:22:22

@ K. Johnson - I'm not very good at precise predictions, so I cannot say what the future holds exactly.

I have no qualms with people preparing for potentially challenging circumstances, and I support the idea of communal life and activity outwith the System, but I believe all of this must stem from proper motivations that extend beyond "mere survival." If hard times do come, and people do manage to get through it with proper motivations intact, then the potential for a genuine rebirth is strong.

On the other hand, if people respond to and get through hard times with a ruthless, Mad Max, survive-at-all costs mentality, then what follows the hard times may end up being much worse than the hard times.
