“Life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies… Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics.” 

-Vaclav Havel, The Power of the Powerless

Unknowingly did you come to the altar? Or were you fully conscious as to your deeds? Most importantly- are you still there?

Previous to this I had mentioned that men, both regenerate and not, are ready to worship at the feet of men. Not just men, I now elaborate, but ideals and commands set forth by such men. From The Man Fauci, to the words spoken by The Voice that pierced the storm (also known as The Media). Commands such as lockdowns, masks, and mandatory vaccinations. Single file they stood. Hands reaching forth. 

“Save us! Tell us what you would have us do to survive!”

The Brand New gods

The true mark of a believer in any faith is an adherence to law or a directive on how to conduct and navigate life. For the believer, in many cases, the eyes within are set upon one particular faith or deity. No other is allowed. The mind has decided- one way. One truth.

The first god- The Voice that pierced the storm

When the sinful will of distorted hearts chose to birth and unleash The Sickness, panic ensued as desperate souls sought direction in a sea of confusion. The tides were rising. The first god to step forward was a voice of “reason”. They told us what had happened- that some poor man in Wuhan ate a bad bat. The Sickness quickly spread. The second thing that they told us was that it would kill all of humanity and there was only one way to survive- kill your life to survive death. Hide and cower under the wing of Fear. In the name of public survival it was necessary. 

However there was a virus within the narrative. A glitch in their Matrix. It was Truth. Most people were surviving. A flu it was as it only claimed as many lives as… a flu. In fact, the flu seemed to magically “disappear” during this era. In time hearts would be broken as the realization set in for many- they killed their life for no reason. A life that they will never get back. But they were told that it was for the public good. Despite the empirical evidence of a new flu, they told us that the Black Death had come upon us again. Revisiting its sorrows as it forever alters history. 

“Do not believe what you see. This is the only way. What we say is the only truth. Damned be thy lying eyes.”

The second god- The Man Fauci 

In this dance of lies, it is hard to discern who leads. Does The Voice feed The Man, or does The Man feed The Voice? One thing is for certain- during this storm The Voice found solace in The Man Fauci. Like the Antichrist, he offered hope and direction to the desperate lost. His gospel promised salvation. A salvation chained to a bed of lies. Truth is stable. Its stability is rooted in being absolute, like the undeniable fact that fire burns. Lies are unstable because there is not an absolute foundation to bind it. Even The Christ’s accusers could not agree. Every hopeful direction that this Man led the masses in inevitably changed course. Like a blind man leading the masses through a forest in the midnight hour.

“Don’t wear a mask. They don’t work.”

“Wear a mask. They will save you.”

“Watch me in public without my mask.”

“Wear two masks. One doesn’t work. Try three.”

“Don’t read my emails where I said that masks don’t work.”

“Only certain masks work.” 

Instability from the jester! However, like good sheep, many followed this shepherd. Every command that he uttered, they were quick to obey. He had all of the answers. Lend a deaf ear to the other experts that brought contradiction. Turn away from the frontline professionals that offered the real truth. Fauci. Only Fauci.

In time his power permeated his mind as he announced that he is the absolute truth. He cast himself as the steel deity when he announced “I AM The Science”. There is no more question. Only servitude. Only Fauci.

The third god- The Mask

The previous two gods were grounded in ideals. “Listen to us and only us. We have the answers”. The final two gods are rooted in physical obedience. “Do… obey!”. They are also the two gods that turned mankind against each other. A division that at times was… violent. The more the first two gods convinced us that they were the truth to obey for the sake of salvation, the more passionate the sheep became in order to live. The more vicious they became against anyone that posed a threat to their survival.

Enter The Mask. Early in the beginning of The Sickness we bore witness to the witless as they were desperate and confused. Grocery bags, respirators, boxes, and anything else obscure adorned their heads as they tarried through the day. Until The Voice and The Man Fauci assured them that a standard mask would suffice. Companies quickly began cashing in on this new fashion accessory- promoted with hopes that it will be adorned forever in the New Normal. However this suggestion quickly turned mandatory. It became a law without a law. Fear of death brought about this god that garnered praise and passion from the masses. Fear of the rising police state silenced those that questioned it.

What did this cloth render onto mankind, outside of a false hope of salvation? It opened the floodgates to the depravity of man. “Now let us sit back and watch them destroy each other. Over fabric.” Innocent people that did not bow to this god went viral as they were surrounded in public by the followers. 

“Put on a mask!!!”

“Get out of here if you won’t participate!!!”

“You’re going to kill Grandma!!!”

“You’re going to kill us all!!!”

In normal circumstances these people would have paid no mind. But they listened in fear to The Voice and The Man Fauci. As disciples they sought to destroy the infidels, doing their gods a favor. From screaming at mothers with babies, to Home Depot employees beating an unbeliever with a baseball bat. They were good little warriors contending for their newfound faith.

The fourth god- The Needle

The fourth and final god of The Sickness is particularly unique in that it embodied the spirit of the other gods, revealed the true nature of the beast, and showed us just how desperate and low those whose hearts are ready are willing to bow. If any one of these gods could drive a man to bow below the surface of the earth in humble adoration, then this is the one.

The announcement of the arrival of this god revealed just how far man will go, and the foolish things that he will do, if you manipulate his mind with the right dose of Fear. A dose so heavy that even Atlas could not bear. Many, or better put, MOST of mankind lined up to meet this god when he stepped into the world. There was no regard as to what would happen if he kissed you on the cheek. You were not allowed to question his intent. Just blindly obey!

“I’m going to go get the vaccine!”

“It’s an experimental vaccine. Is it even safe?”

“I don’t know. They said that it is.”

“Who’s ‘they’?”

“Those that can be trusted with our lives and have our best interest at heart- The Voice and The Man Fauci.”

“What about long term side effects?”

“I don’t care. They said that it’ll save me.”

“Is it even approved by the FDA?”

“No. But I don’t care. As long as it’ll save me like they said that it would.”

Blind obedience. Surrender and submit. Just like The Mask, The Voice and The Man Fauci instructed everyone to attack the unregenerate. Those that did not fall to their knees “wanted the world to die”. Those people should be severely punished, if not outright exterminated. 

It was important that the entirety of mankind come to a saving faith in this god. Those that blindly submitted needed to educate those that questioned and refused. Like the street preacher, asking “Have you had the vaccine?” held the same weight as “Do you know Jesus as Lord and Savior?” Not just did they blindly inject themselves with a science experiment, but they showed their cards to the entire world. For the salvation from the fear of a survivable sickness, they sacrificed their privacy… and their bodies. Now we bear witness to irreversible health issues that once were not. 

“Never question why we must be monitored after meeting The Needle to insure our safety and that Death does not come for us! It is safe! Fauci said so.”

“They died suddenly!”

Many became zealous. They embraced the death of freedom in the name of mandates. They welcomed the forced breaking of man’s will. They welcomed the dance with Depression and Anxiety. 

“Choose the experiment and live. Reject it and die a slow shameful death. And whatever you do… stand six feet away from me”

Fear be the god of these gods. Control be the name of thy gospel.

However, this final god, The Needle, eventually failed. It’s healing hands were held back by the nails driven by its own destruction. Its cross was The Foundation of Lies. The dominoes started teetering.

Then came the unraveling.
