God Yearns For His Other
Contacts with God and communion with Him are possible, and dramatic struggle is possible. This contact is the communion and conflict of personalities between which there is neither determination nor causality nor domination nor subjection.
The only true religious myth is contained not in the fact that God is master and aspires to domination, but in the fact that God yearns for His other, for responsive love and awaits the creative answer of man.

Well, That Worked!
Austria was the first country in Europe to make the peck compulsory for all adults living and/or working in the country. The rationale? Easy -- the peck was the only means through which to stop the spread of the bug and end the birdemic.
I was terminated from my part-time position in Austria in November. The reason? For having the audacity to question the draconian health and safety protocols my employer and the Austrian government were proposing at the time.
In the months that followed, the looming mandate increased the number of pecked in Austria from 65% to about 75%. The mandate officially went into effect at the beginning of February. It was suspended last week -- a mere four weeks after it had gone into effect.
If official figures are to be believed, three out of four Austrian adults have been fully pecked. That's an awful lot of protection, right? So, how's the 75% peck rate and the bold action to end the birdemic working out for that small, landlocked Alpine nation?

Most Modern People Are Committed to Co-Destruction
People celebrating "peace and freedom" at the Peace March in Budapest, Hungary -- March 15, 2022 -- No masks required. Up until two weeks ago? You betcha! Yesterday I had a conversation with a colleague during which he admitted that fear had driven him to seek the "safety" of being triple-pecked. More to the point, he had been afraid of dying and killing others. The individual in question acknowledged the roles the Hungarian government and media played in his decision but refused to accept that either had engaged in overt fear mongering.When asked about the restrictive, oppressive measures the government had imposed on all citizens and later exclusively on non-pecked citizens, my colleague merely shrugged. To change the subject, he described how he traveled to Budapest to participate in the government's annual march this past weekend.
The event -- canceled twice in the past two years due to the birdemic -- usually takes place on the national holiday commemorating the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1848, but it has little to do with history and far more to do with displaying pro-government support in the present. Past marches were dubbed Freedom Marches.
The current military trouble in Hungary's eastern neighbor ensured this year's march bucked tradition and became a Peace March instead. Apparently, more than half-a-million Hungarians showed up for the event.
After it had committed itself to the global diktat of none are safe until all are safe, the Hungarian government engaged in a relentless and ruthless campaign against its citizenry. It locked them down; social-distanced them; terrorized them; propagandized them; and lied to them. It stripped them of their supposed natural and human rights. It shut down businesses. It promised the pecks would end the birdemic and then manipulated and coerced the citizenry into taking the peck. It denied people the right to assemble, travel, visit, work, and speak. It engaged in all of this for over two years, and how do people respond?
By confirming their allegiance, loyalty, and subservience to the very same powers that have lied to, oppressed, humiliated, and harmed them. Of course, a change of government would solve nothing. It could make things even worse. Such is the nature of our cherished democracies, all of which are now beholden to the global coup.
My colleague, who willingly complied with the peck to alleviate his fear, is not disturbed by the supposed birdemic bug infections that have plagued many of our other triple-pecked colleagues. He doesn’t seem to remember that the government had sold the peck as a preventative measure.
The vast majority of those recently-infected triple-pecked colleagues spend their time researching and writing articles about the dangers of climate change and the necessity of sustainability measures.
One recently wrote an article about how such sustainability measures can be most effectively communicated to the public to “change hearts and minds”. I know this because part of my job involves proofreading such articles to increase their chances of being published in respectable, high impact factor journals. Such is the nature of my resistant complicity in the destruction – complicity for which I find myself endlessly repenting.
I often write about co-creation on this blog – about man’s need to align himself with God and work with Him creatively, but I see very little evidence of that in my daily life.
On the contrary, I see man’s enthusiastic alignment with the System and evil. Rather than contemplate co-creation, man appears perfectly content to willingly engage in co-destruction.
Moreover, modern man seems incapable of doing anything else. The destruction seems assured. If that is the case, then co-creation in this world will be synonymous with resurrection.

A Fitting Painting
I was browsing László Mednyánszky paintings online today, and I stumbled upon one that immediately caught my eye -- not for its quality but for its symbolic relevance to current external events. The bleak, simplistic image features a stretch of fence, several crows, and not much else.

Wars, Visible and Invisible
People have been made acutely aware of the current "visible" war in much the same way they were made acutely aware of the "terrible plague" that is the birdemic.
Though the current "visible" war is by all means an awful thing, it immediately draws attention to the fact that some wars are made far more visible than others.
There have been many horrible and violent conflicts in the past two decades, yet most of them remained invisible. For one reason or another, these invisible wars were not deemed worthy of our awareness and attention.
Conversely, the current overt conflict demands our awareness and attention entirely. More than that, it demands our allegiance, in much the same way the birdemic demanded our allegiance.
Among other things, the visible part of the birdemic war was the instillation of terror followed by the "necessary actions" that would make and keep the world safe.
The invisible part of the birdemic war remains invisible to this day, much like the spiritual war, which remains the most invisible war of all.

Distance Yourself From the System Before the System Distances Itself From You
I began to develop the concept of system distancing shortly after the successful 2020 global totalitarian coup. My idea -- based on the birdemic measure of social distancing -- is simple yet, I believe, essential: Spiritually distance yourself from the System, which has positioned itself in direct opposition to God and Creation and is openly pursuing an agenda of destruction, death, and damnation.
The difficult part of system distancing is grasping the spiritual dimension of the action. Distancing ourselves from the System in a purely material and worldly way is virtually impossible because the System effectively controls nearly every mechanism within "material" society. Thus, even the most hardcore prepper or off-the-grid survivalist still relies on -- or inevitably will rely on -- the System to a greater or lesser degree.
Now, there is no denying that the prepper or the survivalist is better positioned in terms of the System's malevolent material coercion, but such physical distancing means very little if it is not supported by the spiritual action of system distancing -- by the sincere acknowledgement of the System's satanic allegiance.
Without that level of system distancing, the material distancing of the prepper or survivalist will inevitably lead to a "survival mode" mentality in which the physical act of "living through" the destruction eclipses the spiritual act of "living beyond" the destruction.
An interesting development in recent months is the System's amplification and acceleration of its own "system distancing" program. The strategy behind this program is both crude and effective -- the System will essentially "distance" any and all individuals (or countries!) it identifies as "enemies" of the System.
The various distancing measures the System has at its disposal are all material in nature and include, but are not limited to the following: job loss and future employment bans; financial distancing via frozen bank accounts and other accessibility issues; various legal actions such as arrest, imprisonment, and fines; travel bans and restricted movement measures; medical terrorism and tyranny; social ostracism; open physical warfare; increased surveillance and monitoring; and so forth.
All of the distancing measures outlined above aim to keep people firmly within the System's control via the very real implication that physical life becomes undeniably more difficult -- if not impossible -- once an individual has been branded an enemy of the System.
Yet total compliance with the System in an effort to stave off these sorts of distance measures will bring little or no relief because it offers no sanctuary against the System's overarching macro distancing campaign, which can be described as the System actively distancing itself from itself. To put it another way, the System's efforts to keep everyone "firmly in the System" aligns with its ultimate goal of engineered systemic self-destruction.
More to the point, remaining within the System's financial machinery will not save anyone from the System's objective of destroying that machinery altogether. Keeping a job will not mitigate the System's open disruption of all jobs. Taking a fourth and fifth peck to ensure the right to travel will not obstruct the System's goal of making world travel for ordinary people a thing of the past. Obeying the System's latest social edicts will do nothing to stop the System from annihilating society.
The distancing measures the System is currently unleashing upon individuals are physical in nature but they are underpinned by the spiritual goal of damnation. One way or another, the System does possess the means to physically destroy any and all individuals. At the same time, the System possesses very limited means to destroy spiritually.
To put it differently -- the System can easily destroy us physically, but it cannot easily destroy us spiritually. The matter of spiritual destruction -- damnation -- depends mostly on us, that is, on our actions and thoughts.
This is what makes the spiritual imperative of system distancing so important -- now more than ever. The System will certainly increase its distancing measures in the weeks and months ahead, but none of these will make the slightest bit of difference if our own, individual system-distancing measures are already firmly in place.
Systems come and systems go, but souls are eternal. Think, act, and choose accordingly.

Their Failure Reveals Their Success
Admissions of failure have been trickling into the mainstream over the past several months. The confessed miscalculations, miscues, misjudgments, missteps, and mismanagement cover a wide range of issues connected to the birdemic and the 2020 global totalitarian coup. The growing list of faults and flaws apply to nearly every aspect of the birdemic response and its subsequent peck program, but also extend to many other facets of our rapidly collapsing civilization.
Though the disclosure of errors, lapses, and glitches will likely increase in the coming weeks and months, it will not lead to the sort of sincere acknowledgement that is most required.
More to the point, against the backdrop of increasingly visible incriminating evidence, the powers-that-should-not-be appear willing to concede that they may have screwed up here and there, but they will never allow these "screw ups" to be held up as confirmation of wrongdoing, crime, and sin.
On the contrary, they will insist that their screw ups stem from "good intentions"; from the sincere desire to safeguard and protect the lives of people all over the world. Every statement they craft going forward will serve to support the "veracity" of the benevolence and good will ensconced within their failures.
Yes, we simply mustn't forget that the open material and spiritual warfare they have ruthlessly waged on civilian populations the world over all stems from a "good" place. All the lies, deceit, terror, fear mongering, gas lighting, degradation, humiliation, injury, oppression, tyranny, harm, and death -- all of it -- is inspired and motivated by the deep desire to keep everyone safe and improve the world.
The same logic applies to all the failing endeavors in which they are currently embroiled and the many future failures they have yet to embark upon. Yes, everything they touch will inevitably end in failure, but this does not imply that they are not "nice", "compassionate" people trying their very best to accomplish "good things."
The satanic elite are very successful at failing, but their failures have nothing to do with good intentions. On the contrary, their failures reveal their immense success.
Every failure the satanic elite discloses is a testament to the continued success of the global totalitarian agenda of enslavement, destruction, and damnation.

This Blog Has Canceled the Following Russians
In light of current events, I feel compelled to signal my impeccable virtue and show my deep solidarity with "whatever".
After much contemplation and soul-searching, I have come to the realization that it would be inappropriate and "problematic" to feature any of the following Russians on this blog at this time. I hope readers will continue to support this blog and enjoy the revised content.
Sincerely,
Francis Berger
Canceled Russians include but are not limited to:
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin) 
Lev Davidovich Bronstein (Leon Trotsky) 
Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (born - Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili) Technically, not Russian, but who cares? Close enough. The full list of other canceled Russians can be accessed here.
Note to Smart Boys: Spare me the enlightening, earth-shattering comments about the "true ethnicity" of Russian communists. First, this information is not as esoteric as you assume. Second, my knowledge of communism probably vastly exceeds yours; so you won't be "teaching" me anything.
Thanks.

Dark Time Coming?
Several penfriends who are far more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to all things related to tech and IT have expressed concerns over the increasing possibility of the internet going down in the very near future.
I am not very solid when it comes to predictions of that nature, but I can't shake the feeling that something "big" will likely hit in the next few weeks. (I know, I know . . . how many more "big" things can there possibly be?)
It's no secret that the powers-that-should-not-be have staged cyber-birdemic simulations in the recent past. It's also no secret that a dark internet would certainly help them hide much of the incriminating information currently popping up all over the place. On the flip side, a dark web would also deprive them of a major source of manipulation, disinformation, and distraction.
Unfortunately, I can't tell if my premonition has anything to do with the net going down or not. Time will tell.
Note added: Regardless of what happens in the coming days and weeks, I believe it is imperative to not waste much time worrying or fretting over anything. The macro trend of current events is very much on a downward trajectory. Further destruction in all aspects of the material world is all but guaranteed at this point. The important thing going forward is to maintain the primacy of the spiritual and be keenly aware of the possibilities and opportunities God arranges for us against the backdrop of everything else. For example, a dark web could actually lead to a great deal of good. For starters, it might get people to focus less on external circumstances and forces and focus more on the internal.
