AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The globalists are smiling: they’ve been saying we’ve been overpopulated for a long time now:
- World Economic Forum Adviser Says Collapsing UK Birthrates Are ‘Good For The Planet’
- Japan’s Prime Minister Says Country Is On “Brink Of Social Dysfunction” Amidst Declining Birth Rates, As Economy Collapses
USA Today wrote in its piece: “We won’t know precisely why fewer babies were born in 2023 than 2022 until social scientists gather data on parents’ economic expectations and other factors that influenced why and when people had children, Hamilton said. That data will come out in the next few years, he said, from groups like the National Survey for Family Growth.”
The reasons for this are plenteous. Let’s get the unspoken elephant in the room out of the way first: the “safe and effective” Covid death shots have caused birth rates to crater. The WP has documented this since the shots were injected into the arms of people around the world since late-2020.
Watch as Melinda Gates casually admits in 2010 that vaccination is being used to stunt population growth:
Then (in no particular order), women continue to get more and more promiscuous and not settle down to create families; coupled with rises in abortion and birth control access. On top of this young men are becoming more selective with whom they have relationships with, becoming “red-pilled” or “black-pilled,” or aligning with MGTOW, or becoming incels addicted to porn, video games, booze, and pot.
Food and water quality, and constant exposure to EMF and 5G radiation are always silent killers that never get talked about either.

Another big one is costs. Everything is unaffordable, so the thought of having children, especially for Millennials and Zoomers, is turning into a luxury.
People in general these days are no longer getting married, or pushing it off until way later, and in many cases are now consigned to whoremongering and flings. This is what the King James Bible said would happen.
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Just think – I thought it was bad decades ago! Feel bad for those that earnestly desire a mate. PRAY and DON’T settle!
I would still get married and have children, however I will marry whom Jesus brings to me. The infertility has now reached bad levels. Men’s sperm counts were dropping for a few decades. The vaccine is the number 1 reason.
