Un-jabbed and Un-jobbed: For God & Country!

Good morning, Patriots! Happy Halloween! I sincerely apologize for not writing sooner, and I do plan to continue my current series “Has the Hope of the Second Coming Pacified the Church and Furthered End Times Prophesy?” My employer decided to mandate vaccination as a condition of employment. Therefore, I had to take some time to focus on seeking God’s guidance and wisdom, discussing with my family, developing our strategy, updating the strategy to account for continual changes, and my ultimate decision making and outward actions throughout this process. As you may know, or can imagine, this is an extremely challenging position for a large percentage of the population. As of this morning, 33.3% of the United States population has not received a single dose and 46.6% of the United States population have not received both doses. Across the company I estimate 21% of the population was vulnerable of non-compliance as of last Monday, based on the data I have seen as a Sr. Leader within the company.  I have seen many people struggle through this situation to date.

To provide some background, my employer initially declared the intent to mandate the vaccine in August, with an initial deadline of the end of September. I determined at that time that I would choose to develop and execute a “close to the chest, extremely patient, and well calculated approach” to navigate the situation. As I often study to understand the global narrative and agenda(s) of the ruling class, I also suspected that these mandates would be an intense psychological exercise that would be driven by more fear and pressure (i.e. no jab – no job, unvaccinated are killing the vaccinated, etc.). Unfortunately, as is often the case, I was correct in my suspicions. It took around two weeks for them to formalize the policy and communicate that with their customers and unions. During that time, they decided to extend the deadline to the end of October. There were no clear details at this time, other than the intent to vaccinate and verbal communication that you would “voluntarily resign” if you did not meet the “updated conditions of employment.” The company said this was to ensure they were able to claw back benefit expenses such as “tuition reimbursement” and to put them in a position to refuse unemployment benefits. As we know, we currently live in a world where the People have no initial power and recourse, due to the corrupt nature of the System they have established (regulations, legal, media, etc.). We will see how this all plays out. I have my suspicions there as well.

When the policy officially came out, we had 3 weeks to determine if we would get the vaccine, submit a religious / medical exemption, or simply run out the clock. As I had no intention of leaving my job, and since I had already had Covid in May, I decided to get a SARS-COV-2 Antibody Serology test and submit a medical exemption. I submitted the paperwork by the exemption deadline (October 1st). Around a week and a half later they informed us that the government had flown us “new contract requirements” that explicitly excluded positive antibodies as a viable medical exemption. Makes sense so far right (at least the fear and pressure should)? It was around this time I started to hear the narrative within the company of “well if you don’t get vaccinated, you won’t be able to work in the whole industry.” The fear and pressure campaign would continue hit us almost daily, up to and including a video from our CEO where he blamed the unvaccinated people for killing one of his in laws (who was vaccinated). Do you see how they do it yet? Due to this new information, and no intention of getting vaccinated, I decided to submit a religious accommodation. However, at this point, I had little confidence I would receive an approval and had ultimately already gone through the grieving process of losing my “6 promotions in 12-years and just getting started” career.  I kept the religious accommodation simple, and Bible based. I stated that I refuse to take the vaccine because God warns us in Revelation 13:17 of a system that will be implemented that will affect our ability to “buy and sell” things. Fundamentally, whether these specific vaccines are the Mark of the Beast or not, “no jab or no job” sets the precedent for the Mark of the Beast, and therefore I have sincere religious objection. On October 25th (last Monday), I was informed that the company had rubber stamped all religious accommodation requests citing “undue hardship to the company.” As of Friday, I have completed my last day of work and have made all communications to my customers, peers, and team. Crazy right?

So, where is the silver lining in all of this? How are we holding up? What are we going to do? How are we going to feed these 4 kids and help take care of the other folks that live with us? Well, if you have followed me for some time, you will know that earlier this year (late Jan – early Feb), I saw two things as being the major concern for our country in 2021: vaccine mandates and Inflation. Note that there are many other concerns, but I judged these to be the two that would potentially affect our personal situation the most and the two that we could prepare for the most through research, planning, and simple decision making. Therefore, although we had hope that we would not be in these situations, we had already started taking action to prepare for darker days and minimizing the risks associated with these expected, unfortunate situations. Ultimately, I concluded that I did not know enough about how to financially prepare for these situations. Therefore, I did what I always do, and built a trusted information portfolio and have since spent a tremendous amount of time reading, listening, and studying current events, the financial sector, investing, sound money, business, hard assets, etc. Fortunately, many of the things you do when preparing for high inflation tend to be confluent with things you do when preparing to have no job for a season. Thankfully, the foresight provided enough time to allow us to build at least a year of runway before things would start to get interesting. I am confident the Lord will continue to lead and guide us through this season. Ultimately, I trust Him above all else, definitely more than the ones “calling the shots,” and have unshaken faith that He will see us through. I also believe that I have been called by God to make a stand at this time and that He has been leading me down this path for a long time. At this point, and with my rich history speaking out against the growing tyranny in our world, which is now boiling over the edge, I feel it would betray everything I am, stand for, and believe in to fold here and get the jab (and that is the point if you haven’t noticed). Sorry commies. Sorry Satan. Not today. Over the past few years, the Lord has brought me on a tremendous journey that has given me a thirst for freedom, a core belief in the Constitution as written, and the resilience and grit of a True American Patriot. I will continue to do battle in this war. Prayers are always appreciated! I will keep you posted on our next adventures!
