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.
Here is my series of articles on reaching others and resistance, which are based on what I learned about the nervous system and human behaviour from a trauma and chronic illness perspective - will be interesting to see how much of this aligns with your thinking...
I have filled in the survey. I wonder if quality is more important the quantity when it comes to recruiting to the cause? The right people [powerful and influential in their own right] rather than more people per se? I have written a series of substack posts on ideas for reaching more people, which I will share here if that is useful?
I have put together 6 strategies for reaching people, appreciate getting more, and also getting the current strategies validated, as others have also found them useful. So, yes, please post the links here. I will note them, also look at them to include in the strategy resources I am putting together. By the way, I am for quantity. Influential people - fabulous. But I see that each of us count. What I think counts most is teaching many people effective strategies, with resources to reach for. It sounds like we should be further in touch.
I guess what got me thinking about the numbers is what Mattias Desmet has said in several podcasts (if I am recalling correctly), that you only need 10% of the people to wake up and speak up to overcome the mass formation psychosis? On the other hand you may be right the more the merrier, as then private knowledge becomes common knowledge faster, Chris Martenson had a good podcast on this concept, but I can only find the paywalled version https://peakprosperity.com/common-knowledge-game/ but he was referring to this article as a template https://www.epsilontheory.com/harvey-weinstein-common-knowledge-game/
Thank you for these links, Gary. I love it, getting awareness of this theory. I had not heard of it. Amazingly powerful impact, moving something to common knowledge - or preventing it from getting there.
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.
These figures are only for the fertility rate which is the average number of children that women of child bearing age produce. A bit of news on the demography front: because of advances in healthcare plus a high fertility rate, Nigeria is set to overtake China population-wise at 200 million by the end of this century. The one child policy will cause China’s population to decline significantly.
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.
I an certain that it's necessary to do 2 things: 1) be fruitful in reproduction and 2) have strong borders. For example, if we reproduce at, say, 1.9 because we would like the country less crowded, clearly there is no room for incomers, especially not many with a high reproductive rate. Also if another country has a reproduction rate of, say, 4.7, clearly that is their responsibility, not ours.
A lot of people think the West is responsible for solving all the world’s problems. About 5,000,000 illegal migrants crossed the southern US border since Biden took office, about 1,000 per week cross to Britain from France every week now. In Canada, thousands of migrants are walking in at Roxham Rd, Quebec.
I know. It's not that "people" "think" this. It's that this is drilled / brainwashed into people. I'll be sending out the interview, in a couple of days, of Harry Richardson on Anglophobia. He speaks of an incredibly popular speech by the most popular politician in, I believe, 1968. Enoch Powell, I believe. Truckloads of letters of support. Gave the speech Saturday. Fired forever on Monday. That was not because "people" "believed" in mass immigration. It had to do with the powers that be. Actually, I'm sure you know this.
In a Canada Trudeau Sr. legalized multiculturalism. In 1965, the US prioritized third world immigration. Some think this ideology was incubated in the universities. Why?
"Britain" may have felt that - but thousands upon thousands of British people didn't. I believe he received 60,000 or 70,000 letters. They had to send an extra mail van or 2. What were you believing at the time?
If you study enough History you have an idea of what might happen. By the end of the century, provided we’re here, I think the UK and most of Europe will be Muslim, Canada will have broken into different ethnic states, the Chinese will be sunning themselves on what used to be the shores of Burma. Not sure about the US as most of the new Hispanic arrivals are Christian.
I wasn’t offended by what Powell said being a student of history and all that. Like today, I think it was more the press And the chattering classes who were enraged.
It seems that both Islam and Roman Catholicism have used the "revenge of the cradle" tactic to advance their causes. No coincidence that both systems are represented as two heads of the seven headed anti-Christ beast of Revelation. In fact, there is historical evidence that Islam was created by the RCC as a means to rid the world of non-Catholic Christians who decried the papal system. Its leaders needed a proxy army for the purpose of plausibly denying culpability for their crimes. Islamic armies swept across North Africa and the Levant in the first couple centuries of their advent, killing tens of thousands of Christians, but they left the Catholic enclaves alone. It wasn't until later that they turned on their creator, in true Frankenstein style.

I was in England when Enoch Powell made that ‘rivers of blood’ speech. At that time Britain felt they should include all citizens of the Empire
"Britain" may have felt that - but thousands upon thousands of British people didn't. I believe he received 60,000 or 70,000 letters. They had to send an extra mail van or 2. What were you believing at the time?

Always learning. I didn't know of this: they left the Catholic enclaves alone. I did know that, in the end, the Catholic enclaves were also ended.
