Be fruitful and multiply. That's the goal. The next step is very easy.
How do we - the people awake to what is going on - become more fruitful and multiply?
Where I live, there has been something called the revenge of the cradle. Long ago, the French lost to the British in a battle. They were given the right to keep their language and religion. “The revenge of the cradle” became the policy: the women were to have as many babies as possible. I remember, from my childhood, one French-Canadian woman who had 22 children, another who had 17. If the youngest child was more than a year old, and the woman was not looking pregnant, she could expect a visit from the parish priest. What was happening? A friend remembers her mother, who decided 4 children was enough, getting numerous very unpleasant visits. The wife of a close French-Canadian friend of my father was told, when she had 10 children, that that was not enough: the only way to get into heaven was to have at least 12 children.
This practice of strongly encouraged fertility stopped in the 1960s, as the power of the Catholic church diminished sharply.
I bring this up because now every effort is being made to stop us, the people awake to the falseness of “the narrative,” from reaching others - in effect, to stop us from being fruitful and multiplying.
Numbers matter, as long as there is the semblance of democracy. If we just doubled our number, we would be a strong majority in many places. Note the recent election results in Italy and in Alberta, Canada. Leaders who speak for freedom, against mandates.
The forces against us are well-known. The brainwashing of as many people as possible - induced mass hypnosis and psychosis. Penalties for telling the truth, from denigration and name-calling to loss of employment. We, the awake, almost certainly face more discrimination than any other group.
So how do we, as a group, become more fruitful and multiply?
That has been a big concern, a passion even, for me for a long time. I’ve come up with a number of strategies.
But which are most important to you? And what are your biggest challenges? What might help you most?
To find out, I created a survey, and sent it out yesterday. I’ve already have gotten answers that indicate, for instance, what the biggest challenge is for the majority of respondents. I won’t give the answer here as I don’t want to influence anyone who takeS the survey today.
I’m writing because I’d appreciate more input. If you haven’t done the survey, I’d very much appreciate your doing so. Here is the link:

Why do the survey? I believe almost everyone reading this is on the same side, the same team - for human rights and freedoms, for truth and facts and logic, for good thinking and justice. My belief is also that any strength any one of us develops helps us all, helps our side, our team.
Here are my 2 biggest goals.
One. To help us be able to reach ever more people - from family members to strangers we meet waiting in line at a grocery check-out. What would that do? It would certainly help us multiply in numbers.
Two. To help us be more able to take on the challenges by providing strategies so we can get rid of the common feeling of frustration and feel way more inner ease and confidence.
By the way, I will be sending out the results within a week.
Here’s to our being very very fruitful and doing lots of multiplying.
(And then, below are a 3 more things I’ve found out relating to the slave trade and William Wilberforce.)
PS. Here is something else I have found about related to the abolition movement. 20,000 British seamen gave their lives fighting slavers, who were even plundering the inhabitants of coastal villages in the south-west of England (source: email).
PPS. For those of you who have become interested in knowing more about that amazing man, William Wilberforce, here’s a message from a reader (source: email):
A fantastic read is an excerpt from his own writings which can be found here: https://christianhistoryinstitute.org/study/module/wilberforce This can assist the reader in understanding his motivations, thoughts, and the positive impact these motivations have had and can have on civilization. Crucial indeed.
PPPS. It took 20 years, but in 1807, the tide strongly turned against the acceptance of slavery. The vote in the House of Commons to end slavery: 283 -16!!!
PPPPS. And a repeat of the link to the survey:

Correction: by the end of this century , China’s population will have shrunk to about 730 million while Nigeria’s will have risen to about 791 million.
When I first noticed ‘Be fruitful and multiply’ I hoped that this was to do with the very low fertility rate in the West which for a number of reasons also includes Japan, and South Korea which at 0.9 has the lowest birth rates on the planet. In order to reproduce itself, a country must have a fertility rate of 2.1. The countries with the highest are, depending on the chart you use are Niger. Somalia, Mail, Chad with 6+ children per female. Europe, Australia, the UK etc fall below 2. Most are about 1.6. Except that in the West, the Muslim fertility rate hovers around 2. Meaning that non/Muslims are producing fewer than 1.6. So, some groups will become smaller and smaller until they disappear. I think of Burma where the rate is 2.2. If they don’t maintain it, the ethnic Burmese will eventually disappear, and China which shares a border with them will most likely fill the void and for the first time be able to have ports and beaches in the tropics.
