Austrian Politicians Grasping At Straws to Persecute the Unvaccinated.

Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen signed a contentious measure on Friday requiring adults to have the COVID-19 vaccine or face fines.

Without proof of vaccination or exemption, a punishment of 600 euros ($680) will be imposed, with extra fines of up to 3,600 euros ($4,100). Individuals can be penalized up to four times each year under the law, which will remain in effect until January 2024. A revision from the previous legislature that imprisoned the unvaccinated who refused to comply for a year.

According to a statement released by his office to media agencies, Van der Bellen signed the law after parliament passed it on Thursday. According to his office, the law will take effect on Saturday.

Pregnant women and those who cannot be immunized due to health concerns are exempt from the requirement. According to the law’s specifics, people who recovered from COVID-19, which is caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, within 180 days are likewise exempt.

Anyone above the age of 18 is required by law to receive the vaccine. They must also obtain boosters when they are eligible.

“The vaccine mandate won’t immediately help us break the Omicron wave, but that wasn’t the goal of this law,” Austrian Health Minister Wolfgang Mueckstein said Thursday before the plan was adopted by Parliament’s upper house. “The vaccine mandate should help protect us from the next waves, and above all from the next variants.” says Mueckstein.

According to the law, Austrian police will begin monitoring people’s vaccination status during traffic stops and COVID-19 restrictions in March. Those who are unable to present proof of vaccination will be required to do so in writing and will be fined.

According to Die Presse, and opposing lawmakers, notably Freedom Party of Austria head Herbert Kickl, have described the reign as “an inglorious era for the rule of law and the fundamental rights and freedoms of Austrians,”

“I don’t really see the added value of the vaccine mandate at this point,” Gerald Gartlehner, an epidemiologist at Danube University Krems, said. He added that the Omicron variant’s highly contagious nature and milder symptoms have proven to be a pandemic game-changer, and that much of the population already has immunity from a previous illness or vaccination.

Meanwhile, in Germany, lawmakers are considering whether a mandatory vaccine for all adults should be considered.

However, in other parts of Europe, several countries have begun to abandon COVID-19 regulations, including vaccine obligations. On Tuesday, Denmark abolished all COVID-19 limitations, and Sweden will follow suit on February 9.

In a CNN interview, Soren Brostrom, director-general of Denmark’s Health Authority, remarked, “At the same time as infections are skyrocketing, the number of patients admitted to intensive care is actually going down,” “It’s around 30 people in ICU beds right now with a COVID-19 diagnosis, out of a population of 6 million.”

Nothing will be the same after these people get what they want. Literal maps have been created to plan the systematic dismantling of our society, and to bring a one world government/religion. Do your research on history, and you might have a shot at noticing the inevitable unfolding of satans plan. In the meantime, stay inquisitive in the word of God, and the world around you.

These vaccine passports will be pushed onto America heavily by the UN and other globalist organizations once the two tier system is set in place. Nothing that these tyrants can say or do will convince self aware Christians to relinquish their faith in Christ. 1 Peter 4:12-14 says: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.” Please stay inquisitive the word of God, and the world around you.

Officials said Tuesday that Russia is moving an unidentified number of troops from the country’s far east to Belarus for massive war games, a move that will bolster Russia’s military posture near Ukraine amid Western worries of a planned invasion.

In the midst of the rising tensions, the White House warned that Russia may strike its neighbor “at any point,” while the United Kingdom provided anti-tank weaponry to Ukraine.

The joint maneuvers with Belarus, according to Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin, will include exercising a joint reaction to foreign threats.

Officials in Ukraine have warned that Russia might attack Ukraine from a variety of directions, including its ally Belarus.

The US expressed its worry again on Tuesday, with White House press secretary Jen Psaki describing Russia’s incursion into Belarus as a “extremely dangerous situation.”

“We’re now at a stage where Russia could at any point launch an attack in Ukraine,” she warned.

Last week, a series of meetings between Russia, the United States, and NATO failed to defuse tensions over Ukraine. In another attempt to alleviate the tension, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Geneva on Friday.

Ukraine’s Military Ministry announced Tuesday that it has received a shipment of anti-tank weapons from the United Kingdom, which will improve the country’s defense capability.

Russia has already began sending troops to Belarus for the war games. Fomin estimated that completely deploying weapons and personnel for the Allied Resolve 2022 drills, which are scheduled for February 10–20, would take until February 9.

Fomin did not specify the number of personnel engaged, but did suggest that Russia will send a dozen Su-35 fighter jets and several air defense units to Belarus. The deployment would strengthen an estimated 100,000 Russian troops already stationed near Ukraine with tanks and other heavy weapons.

Russia has denied intentions to attack its neighbor, but has demanded assurances from the West that NATO would not extend to Ukraine or other former Soviet republics, nor will it station troops and weapons there. During Russia-US talks in Geneva last week and a corresponding NATO-Russia conference in Brussels last week, Washington and its allies flatly rejected Moscow’s demands.

The drills in Belarus, which involve an undefined number of troops from Russia’s Eastern Military District, highlight the need for Russia’s complete military potential to be concentrated in the west, according to Fomin.

“A situation may arise when forces and means of the regional group of forces will be insufficient to ensure reliable security of the union state, and we must be ready to strengthen it,” Fomin said at a meeting with foreign military attaches. “We have reached an understanding with Belarus that it’s necessary to engage the entire military potential for joint defense.”

The joint operations, according to Belarus’ autocratic president, Alexander Lukashenko, will take place on the country’s western border as well as in the country’s south, where it borders Ukraine. Lukashenko, who has grown closer to Russia as a result of Western sanctions over his government’s repression of internal uprisings, has recently offered to store Russian nuclear weapons.

According to a senior Biden administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive subjects, Russia’s army deployment to Belarus raises concerns that Moscow is preparing to stage soldiers there in order to weaken Ukraine’s defenses with a northern offensive. He also noted that the movement may indicate Belarus’ willingness “to allow both Russian conventional and nuclear forces to be stationed on its territory.” stated the official.

In the midst of the tensions, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday that it was accelerating plans to build reserve battalions that would allow the country’s 246,000-strong military to quickly deploy 130,000 recruits.

The US and its allies have urged Russia to de-escalate the situation by withdrawing its troops from Ukraine.

“In recent weeks, more than 100,000 Russian troops with tanks and guns have gathered near Ukraine without an understandable reason, and it’s hard not to understand that as a threat,” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock told reporters after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow on Tuesday.

Lavrov answered by restating Moscow’s position that it is free to station its soldiers anywhere it sees fit on its soil. “We can’t accept demands about our armed forces on our own territory,” Lavrov said. “We aren’t threatening anyone, but we are hearing threats to us.”

The West, according to Baerbock, is “ready for a serious dialogue on mutual agreements and steps to bring everyone in Europe more security.”

On Tuesday in Berlin, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “the main task now is to make progress on the political way forward” he stated, in order to avoid a military attack on Ukraine.

“NATO allies are ready to meet with Russia again,” Stoltenberg said. “Today, I invited Russia and all NATO allies to a series of meetings in the NATO-Russia Council in the near future to address our concerns while also listening to Russia’s concerns.”

He went on to say that NATO will submit written proposals in response to Russian demands “in the near future,” and that “hopefully we can begin meeting after that.”

“We need to see what Russia says, and that will be a kind of pivotal moment,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated.

Meanwhile, Lavrov reiterated Russia’s need for a prompt response from the West to its demand for security guarantees that would prevent NATO from expanding into Ukraine and limiting its presence in Eastern Europe. In a phone call with Blinken, who will visit Ukraine on Wednesday and meet with Lavrov on Friday, he reiterated that point.

On a visit to Ukraine on Tuesday, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly slammed Russia’s army increase as “unacceptable.” She praised Canada’s efforts to assist Ukraine’s military, saying the country is presently evaluating Ukraine’s request for military equipment and will make “a timely decision.”

After the fall of Ukraine’s Moscow-friendly president in 2014, Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine and backed a separatist rebellion that took over significant swaths of eastern Ukraine. In the nearly eight years of fighting, about 14,000 people have been slain.

On Nov 12th, Russia dispatched paratroopers to the Belarus-Poland border, where hundreds of migrants are camped attempting to enter the European Union.

The abrupt deployment, according to the Kremlin, was for drills, but it coincided with a buildup of Russian military personnel near the Ukrainian border, raising European and American concerns.

According to a statement provided by the Russian military ministry, two Russian paratroopers perished Friday after their parachutes collided and deflated in a burst of wind. The soldiers attempted to use their reserve parachutes, but they were at too low an altitude for them to function properly, according to the ministry.

“Expanding NATO further into post-Soviet space is a red line with Russia, and the US is frankly not in a position to challenge it without running a huge risk,” Greg Scoblete of RealClearWorld told Forbes. “Put bluntly, Russia will be able to invade eastern Ukraine faster than the West could admit Ukraine into NATO to deter Russian aggression.”

However the bellicose military maneuvers performed by Russia in recent weeks have resulted in international support from allies; Quickly throwing a stick in the spokes of strategic speculation of western flexibility to react to a Russian invasion in Ukraine. More updates to come on the status of this stalemate in the future. I’d encourage everyone to take note of the circumstances on the Russia/Ukraine border, but don’t let it bog you down. 1 Peter 4:12-14 says: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
