The fact that it took months to achieve it would suggest that it was a struggle. No, the force didn't pluck them out of existence, but it didn't just allow them to assert their control over it, and did retaliate in the form of Anakin, with Sidious being the force's target. Otherwise the force never directly involves itself.
And yes, the fact that not even an entire jedi order, including Yoda, could pierce the cloud Sidious kept over them. Sidious was constantly clouding their minds despite their efforts to break through. The AOTC comic depicts an image of Sidious's shadowy hooded figure when Yoda tried to peer with his mind. Mind and willpower/focus are the main factors when psychically peering into the future, yet Sidious had all of their minds overpowered from viewing it.
LOL @ Zannah's sorcery coming close to even penetrating Palps mind.
