The Austrian government has announced it will be forcing all residents to take a Wuhan virus vaccine. Those who refuse will face heavy fines and possible prison sentences starting in February.

Austria will be the first major country in Europe to force its citizens to take the vaccine or face fines or potential prison sentences for not doing so. The move comes as the government has also placed the entire country under a strict 20-day lockdown, just days after it locked down the unvaccinated nationwide.

The new lockdown measures will begin on Monday, November 22nd, according to a report from the newspaper Kronen Zeitung and will see Austrians largely confined to their homes and only allowed to travel for essential purposes such as purchasing food or outdoor exercise, although schools and kindergartens will remain open.

Although the general lockdown is scheduled to end on December 12th, it will remain in place for those who are not vaccinated against the coronavirus indefinitely and, as mentioned previously, from February 2022 all Austrian residents will be mandated by law to take the vaccine.

Austrian Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg commented on the drastic new measures, saying that previously there had been “a political consensus that we do not want compulsory vaccination, and I also assumed that people should be persuaded to be vaccinated.”

He stated that “too many political forces, flimsy opponents of vaccination and fake news” had contributed to Austria having one of the lowest vaccination rates in Europe.

Herbert Kickl, the leader of the populist Freedom Party (FPÖ) and former interior minister, said the mandatory vaccination proposal crossed a “dark red line” and declared “Austria is a dictatorship today!”

Kickl, who has been public about not being vaccinated against the coronavirus, has participated in prior demonstrations against coronavirus lockdowns.

The Freedom Party leader has also called into question the constitutionality of the mandatory vaccine proposal and said he expects the Austrian Constitutional Court to release a statement on what he labelled a “government attack on the fundamental right of the physical integrity of the people in this country.”

The new general lockdown following the lockdown of the unvaccinated was preceded by the regional governments of Upper Austria and Salzburg announcing they would implement lockdowns for the unvaccinated locally.

While Austria is the first major country to attempt to impose mandatory vaccination on all citizens, other countries have expressed openness to the idea.

The man expected to take over from Angela Merkel as Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, stated earlier this month that he was open to discussions on mandatory vaccinations, for example.

Massive protests took place over the weekend prior to the beginning of Austria’s lockdown. Euronews reported:

As the march kicked off on Vienna’s Heldenplatz, thousands of protesters gathered on the massive square. About 1,300 police officers were on duty. They used loudspeakers to tell protesters masks were required, but most didn’t wear them.

Chanting “resistance!” and blowing whistles, protesters began to move slowly down the city’s inner ring road. Many waved Austrian flags and carried signs mocking government leaders like Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg and Health Minister Wolfgang Mueckstein.

Some wore doctor’s scrubs; others donned tinfoil hats. Most of the signs focused on the newly announced vaccine mandate: “My Body, My Choice,” read one. “We’re Standing Up for Our Kids!” said another.

Freedom Party leader Herbert Kickl—denounced what he called “totalitarian” measures from a government “that believes it should think and decide for us.”

Terry James in a recent article stated that although many become enraged by the comparison between radical vaccine mandates and the agenda of Nazi Germany, the parallels, he insisted, should not be ignored:

Words coming from the heart of what many of us believe to be the reviving Roman Empire sounded to be both prologue and prescience. They were spoken by a German representative to the European Union’s parliament.

Christine Andersen, speaking while being interviewed by Steve Bannon of The War Room podcast, gave an eerie analysis of the mask mandates being issued by leaders around the world. She compared what is going on in today’s world to things going on during the time leading to the rise of the Third Reich.

She indicated much of the program involving attempts to gain complete control of the masses today is frighteningly similar to the program employed by the scientists, doctors, epidemiologists and others of the era just before Hitler and his henchmen took over Germany. She explained that their efforts during pre-Nazi Germany were geared toward separating people. They had at the center of their evil postulation that the totally unproven, so-called science showed that inferior races were disease carriers and needed to be separated from the “pure race.”

In the days leading to the holocaust, the Jews and Gypsies were the main targets; then, as the regime garnered power, all others who weren’t considered of the pure, Aryan bloodline were targeted for separation, sequestration in the ghettos and death in the extermination camps.

She said that is what the masking and the vaccines are all about now. They are touting a pseudo-scientific edict that all be mandated, using the masks and the vaccine threats of job loss and worse to separate people. Divide and conquer is the ages-old methodology tyrants always utilize to bring about their regimes of totalitarianism.

Andersen said that the (for the most part) ineffective masking and the untested, not officially approved vaccines in most cases had at the heart of their purpose the divide and conquer modus operandi of all tyrants. The globalist would-be masters had chosen those who refused to adhere to the demands of the elite –the mask and vaccine mandates— to turn the compliant against the resisters. Those who refuse to be vaccinated are declared to be spreaders of COVID. These must be punished by whatsoever methods that will make them comply with the tyrant’s dictates –All for the good of humanity, of course.

We have certainly been witness to the tyrannical methods used to try to turn the masses against those who don’t want to take “the jab,” as it is called. Rather than letting up on their demands, despite the growing number of people refusing the jab, those forces at the top that are almost without exception of the globalist mindset double down.

Much like the Nazis, the one-worlders try to initiate the destruction of prevailing culture from within the family unit. They know they can control more viciously, more completely, if they can take control of children away from parents. This is what the present cancel culture fascists are trying to accomplish through corruption within America’s and the world’s educational systems. It appears at present that those so determined to take the children totally from parental control have overstepped boundaries. The recent elections in Virginia validate this to some extent.

But the battle continues to rage. The evil one who incessantly makes war on humanity and humanity’s Creator continues to stalk about seeking ways to wreak destruction.

People get mad when you compare the Yellow Star placed on Jews in Nazi Germany in the 1930s with the COVID vaccine mandates being forced on people here in 2021, but in point of fact, the two are surprisingly and alarmingly similar. The Yellow Star created two classes of people, and the vaccine mandate does exactly the same thing. The only question is, have we learned anything from history, or is it getting to repeat itself again? Don’t answer; it’s rhetorical.

Terry James in another article, “Peering Into Prophetic Progression,” explained that the world is seeing an advancement of “manipulative” government schemes through vaccine passports, which James referred to as “dictatorial tyranny.”

James wrote that this is an “item that lets us peer a bit into prophetic progression toward Tribulation-era fulfillment [involving] Revelation 13:16–18,” which reads:

Revelation 13:16-18 KJV – “And he [the antichrist] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six”

“It’s almost uncanny, the clarity with which we can detect the rapid coming-together of satanic control that will mark the Tribulation era,” James described. “We are, for example, seeing now advanced stages of manipulative, governmental machinations through growing mandates demanding that people around the world obey COVID compliance. Already their dictatorial tyranny is declaring that people can’t buy or sell without proof of vaccine compliance.”

“The entirety of the prophetic horizon seems filled with such developing Tribulation storm clouds, stage-setting for what might be soon fulfillment inundates our daily lives,” James continued. “The Rapture will suddenly bring judgment and wrath upon an unsuspecting world of anti-God rebellion and wickedness. That should cause all of us who are looking for our blessed hope to witness of Christ’s soul-saving power and of His offering supernatural safety from the coming Tribulation storm.”

Luke 21:28 KJV – “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
