I am starting to see a lot of excuses from people who got the vaccine saying things like ‘I had to do it to keep my job so I can continue to support my family.’ While this may seem noble on it’s face it is actually quite ignoble. These people caved not to protect their families but to keep their material possessions flowing in. Not only that but they also allowed the system to become that much more powerful and confident in the success of their objectives. They claim to protect their families but all they did was poison themselves and convince themselves they are righteous.
Furthermore this line of thinking is definitely going to be applied to their children. When their kids are faced with the choice of leaving school or taking the vaccine the parents are going to push their kids to take the vaccine. Worst of all they will convince themselves this is right by saying ‘My kids have to be vaccinated so they can keep going to school’. So now they poison themselves and their families and pretend it’s noble. It’s almost as sick and disgusting as the vaccine itself.

🇷🇺 The Russian Orthodox Church rep criticized the idea of transhumanism
— "Transhumanism sets false tasks, distracts public discussion from questions about the need for immortality as such “in the conditions of an exhaustive universe”, about freedom and the right of a person to be religious, as well as about real help to the suffering, as a result of which resources are misallocated. Archpriest Alexander Abramov, secretary of the Synodal Commission on Bioethics of the Russian Orthodox Church, said this at the IX International Festival “Faith and Word” held in the Moscow Region, RIA Novosti writes.
“We are dealing with an aggressive attack of totalitarian transhumanism on the position of a peaceful, quiet, patriarchal and quite calm ordinary human society. Ordinary human society says: there are problems, many of which cannot be solved… but we live, in the case of a religious worldview – in the hope of the mercy of God, and belief in salvation,“ — said Abramov."

I will starve to death before I take the COVID-19 vaccine. The reason why, is because I refuse to comply with the will of the Globalist Transhumanist Elites who hate Christ.
The only thing standing in the way between the globalist godless Utopia, is the Church and its faithful. Taking the vaccine for your job, or convenience, is collusion with the Evil One and his Worldly regime.
For those who took it out of ignorance, primarily because of censorship and propaganda, I pray that they repent and are spared from long term side effects.

— "The DECR MP Chairman, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) of Volokolamsk, said on the Russia 24 TV channel that Patriarch Bartholomew's plans are financed by the Greek community in the United States and supported by the American administration.
“There is an established Greek Diaspora in America, which is the flock of the Patriarch of Constantinople, and which financially supports or, in fact, maintains the Patriarchate of Constantinople. In addition, the American administration has been providing political support to Phanar for many years, including those ambitious plans that are being nurtured and partially implemented by the Patriarchate of Constantinople,” said Metropolitan Hilarion."

🇷🇺 Bishop Panteleimon of Orekhovo-Zuyevo's thoughts on the Satanic "holiday" of Halloween:
— "Defenders of this celebration spoke of its secular and humorous nature. But, probably, you will agree that this is a countercultural holiday and this is precisely why its popularity among young people is connected. You are attracted by the opportunity that night to “have fun in full”, to behave cheekily, justifying your behavior by participating in a “holiday” that legalizes what is usually considered indecent and unacceptable.
I am afraid that you are thus giving power over yourself to the evil that wants to take root in our sin-tainted human nature. It is easy to dissolve, it will be difficult to gather later. Evil is clingy and contagious. It wants to take over your whole soul. Concession to him for one day or night will strengthen his position in your soul.
It seems to me that many of you are attracted by the infernal mysticism of this holiday. You are tired of the routine, you want to touch the mystery of evil and death. Of course, a person should not think about it. How to defeat evil? What will happen after death? You can and should find out. But accepting the conditions of the game of this "celebration", you enter the mystical realm from the side of evil, not good. You think, my dears, that by celebrating this day (or night), you are not participating in a pagan cult or satanic rites. But the actions that you perform, celebrating this "holiday", have a symbolic meaning and attach you, whether you like it or not, to evil."

🇷🇺 Metropolitan Savvaty of Cheboksary and Chuvash's thoughts on the Satanic "holiday" of Halloween:
— "Halloween appeared among the Celtic tribes of England, Ireland and northern France (Gaul) in the pre-Christian era. Being pagans, the Celts believed in the birth of life from death. The beginning of the "new" year, new life in general, they celebrated in late autumn, on the night of October 31st to November 1st, when the time of cold, darkness and death began. On this night they glorified the pagan god Samhain, whom they revered as the Lord of Death. On the eve of the "New Year's celebration", druids (Celtic priests) extinguished hearths, fires, bonfires, lamps. On the evening of the next day, they lit a huge bonfire, on which sacrifices were made to the prince of darkness and death. The Druids believed that if Samhain remained satisfied with the sacrificial rewards of his faithful, he would allow the souls of the dead to visit their homes on that day.
An important part of the pagan cult is also the "fun" Trick-or-Treat, which is a ritualized act of offering to the dark forces in the service of Samhain. It was believed that the souls of the dead, who reigned in the world of darkness, cold and death, on the day of their visit to the world of the living, experience an insatiable hunger. Therefore, the Kelian pagans prepared treats for the spirits wandering in the darkness of the night, for they believed that if they were not propitiated by offerings, then the anger and curses of Samhain would fall on people.
Thus, we can draw immediate conclusions: This holiday is actually part of the service to the dark forces, headed by Satan. It becomes absolutely clear that it is in no way possible for an Orthodox Christian to take part in this holiday."

🇬🇧 Bishop Irenei of London's thoughts on the Satanic "holiday" of Halloween:
"You must put out of your mind these thoughts about “going with the culture” and permitting your children to take part in such customs “so that they won’t feel out of place with their friends.” Where secular people may feel they have the option to divorce the spiritual realm from the physical and do one thing with their bodies while believing another in their minds, we Christian people do not. We know that the actions of our bodies, and the things we do with our lives, affect our hearts and are directly connected to spiritual realms of which we are, on account of our weakness, not always immediately aware. Can you honestly think—you who gaze at and touch the holy icons in your home and in our temples, and know that the saints are present with you, and that you are drawn into their holy lives—that to be willingly surrounded by images of the demons (however childish and infantile their representation) will not also affect your heart, and your children’s hearts, and draw them closer to powers that none would call holy? And not just to gaze upon such images, but to fashion them into clothes and costumes and wear them on one’s body?
Some will say, “Ah, but it is only a bit of fun, these days. It’s just fancy dress. No one believes in these things!” But tell me, do you think the devil is so foolish that he does not see the opportunity that comes from something being perceived as “just fun and games”? Do you believe he does not understand that such circumstances cause us to let down our guard, to tease and toy with the very ideas of demons and spiritual darkness? That he does not rejoice precisely because such images become things of play, and therefore things that we do not guard against when the play is done?
Yet others will say, “But it is not all macabre: children trick-or-treat in costumes of angels, of cartoon characters, of animals.” But this is to fail to see the point that it is the very admixture of these two things — the playful and the demonic — that does such damage to the soul. The Scriptures say, What concord hath Christ with Belial? (2 Cor. 6.15), and yet modern man feels perfectly comfortable to join the demons to teddy-bears and unicorns; to mix the sinister with the trivial. This is because he has lost the sense of how powerfully our idle “play” affects the inner disposition of the heart. We think that if we don’t take something “seriously”, it cannot seriously affect us—but look how much woe and despair there is in the world, as the result of this delusion! No, it is time to stand fast against this ridiculous trend."

They want you to live in the pod, eat the bugs, and own nothing. The solution? Simply don’t. Really it’s that simple, their plans only work if people go along with it. That is the purpose of COVID, to scare people into agreeing with their agenda to save themselves from this fake virus.
If you see through their plans (I hope you would at this point) then the only thing you need to do is not comply. Don’t give up all of your possessions, don’t eat the bugs, don’t accept the new normal. Our resistance is rather anti-climactic, there isn’t going to be some big explosion of violence against the system like many people assume. It’s just a matter of remaining firm in your non-compliance.
