US depopulation plan hits new milestone

US Depopulation Plan Hits New Milestone

‘Kids are expensive and sticky’: More women swap kids for careers according to plan

A decades-old plan to stifle population growth in the US has reached new milestones which suggest the program is a resounding success.

According to a Statista report last week, a quarter of US 40-year-olds have never been married, an historical high since data started being published in 1990. Most of these adults live alone, with only 22% saying they live with a partner. Nearly half (46%) of Black Americans say they are still single by 40, followed by Hispanics (27%), Whites (20%), and Asian Americans (17%).

Marriage avoidance is part of a depopulation plan designed over 50 years ago in the Jaffe Memo.

In 1969 an economist named Frederick Jaffe devised a set of proposals to limit US population growth which continue to be put into practice today. Jaffe, who at the time was vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, had created the plan at the request of Bernard Berelson.

Berelson was the head of the Population Council, an organization founded by John D. Rockefeller III in 1952 to stem birth rates in the United States. Until today the Population Council concerns itself with researching contraception and other ways to prevent births, such as the Copper T intrauterine device. Since then an estimated 50 million Copper Ts have been distributed in over 70 countries.

In 1969, Berelson was looking for ideas.

Jaffe rose to the occasion and responded with what would later become known as the Jaffe Memo. In it, Jaffe proposed a set of actions which he believed could suppress the US birth rate. He compiled them into a table titled “Proposed measures to reduce fertility by universality or selectivity of impact in the US.”

Some of those proposed measures were to “encourage increased homosexuality,” “allow harmless contraceptives to be distributed nonmedically,” to “make contraception truly available and accessible,” and to provide “abortion and sterilization on demand.”

Another measure was titled “Restructure family” and contained two parts: “(a) Postpone or avoid marriage,” and “(b) Alter image of ideal family size.”

These were listed alongside two of Jaffe’s other propositions, which were to drive women into higher education and to convince more women to join the workforce.

“[T]he relationship between employment of women and lower fertility seems well established,” wrote Jaffe. He said that full employment is accompanied by higher inflation, a sacrifice the US may need to make in order to depopulate. “How much inflation could or should we risk to achieve lower fertility?” he asked.

Today, getting more women to enter the workforce is a strategy tirelessly adopted by globalist bodies such as the United Nations and the World Economic Forum (WEF). The UN is known to encourage women’s participation in the labor force at nearly every opportunity, even turning it into a public health issue.

This, too, has become an unmistakable success. According to data from Pew Research, Millennial women are four times more likely than those in the Silent Generation to have a bachelor’s degree — and the more educated a woman becomes, the more likely she is to postpone having children or not have them at all.

Furthermore, around the time of the Jaffe Memo, only about 40% of women were employed. Today that number is 72% among Millennial women.

Business Insider says declining birth and marriage rates are being driven by women who are choosing careers over children, which it claims is “a sign of economic progress, signaling a rise in individualism and women’s autonomy.”

“I couldn’t imagine juggling work and children. I wouldn’t be able to care for my two dogs without my husband,” 40-year-old career woman Jennifer Mathieu told the publication, adding: “I have zero regrets, love my life, and think at least three to four times a week about how thankful I am that I do not have children.”

“We both work hard at our careers and honestly didn’t feel like children fit into the life and goals we wanted,” said Heather Watson, another female professional. “It always felt like it would be unfair to kids to try to fit them into our lives.”

“Kids are expensive and sticky,” said another.

Statista confirms that women no longer feel marriage is important because they have “gained economic power”:

The general increase of people who are still single by 40 suggests that there has been a shift in sentiments on the importance of marriage. The trend is likely due to a wide variety and combination of factors, whether that’s a loosening of stigma around being single, or as Belinda Luscombe of Time Magazine explains, due to economic reasons, such as the fact that since women have “gained economic power, they needed to rely less on men to provide”, or conversely, because many men say they feel they need a level of financial stability to be ready for marriage.

Another of Jaffe’s proposed actions was to place “fertility control agents in the water supply.”

Common pesticides have been found to not only dramatically affect fertility but to feminize males. In one study of the pesticide atrazine, most male frogs exposed to the toxin became attracted to other males, including some who began functioning as females and produced eggs. Most atrazine produced in the United States is manufactured by Syngenta, a company owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

These pesticides, which have been detected in water supplies across the US, have recently been credited with reducing the sperm count in men by 50% over the last 50 years.

Other depopulation techniques proposed by Jaffe included compulsory education for children and government incentives for lower birth rates as possible effective methods. Another entry listed among the proposed measures simply reads “chronic depression” with no further explanation.

Discouraging private home ownership is also one of the proposals, and a cornerstone of the WEF’s Agenda 2030 which promises taxpayers they will “own nothing and you’ll be happy.”

“The hypothesis underlying these proposals is that the achievement of a society in which effective contraception is efficiently distributed to all, based on present voluntary norms, would either result in a tolerable rate of growth, or go very far toward achieving it,” Jaffe wrote. “If this hypothesis is basically confirmed, it would negate the need for an explicit U.S. population policy which goes beyond voluntary norms.”

In the year the Jaffe Memo was produced, then-President Richard Nixon proposed the creation of a presidential advisory commission which would be tasked with creating a plan to solve the “population problem.” The next year, Nixon established the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, on which sat both Jaffe and Berelson.

Those of Jaffe’s proposed measures which have been enforced, have been adopted by all major globalist organizations utterly, where homosexuality, abortion, birth control, and women in the workplace are all encouraged under the banner of “gender equality.”

Today, the Population Council’s website focuses on gender equality, abortion on demand, and even “climate change” as a determinant of “reproductive health and fertility.”

Other globalist bodies have been investing heavily in bringing the Jaffe Memo to realization, particularly through an organization called FP2030.

In July 2012, a meeting in London was convened by USAID, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the UK Department for International Development (DFID), and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The goal of the meeting was “to empower the voluntary use of modern contraception by 120 million additional women and girls in the world’s lowest-income countries by 2020.” Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) was formed.

FP2020 soon recruited over 130 governments, organizations and corporations to join the cause. Drug companies like Pfizer and Bayer pledged to provide birth preventive products all around the world.

As 2020 approached, FP2020’s founders evidently deemed it so successful that they renewed it for another decade and renamed the organization FP2030. Its globalist managers include North America and Europe Managing DIrector Monica Kerrigan, MPH, who previously worked for Planned Parenthood, the Gates Foundation and USAID.

In 2021, FP2030 received $1.4 billion from government funding alone, with over $500 million annually from USAID.

When starting a birth prevention campaign in a target country, FP2030’s founding organizations first contact an official in that country’s Health Ministry. They present the official with a strategy containing high-impact practices (HIPs) for preventing births on a mass scale and provide them with the funds to do it.

However, FP2030’s goal is not simply to make birth prevention devices available, but to convince women to take them. Therefore, any mass birth prevention strategy must “improve attitudes.”

One of the main vehicles used for changing minds and attitudes towards birth prevention is mass media. In a 2016 High Impact Practices Partners’ meeting attended by FP2030 operatives, organizations were encouraged to “[u]se one or more mass media channels (radio, TV, print) to increase knowledge, improve attitudes and self-efficacy, and encourage social change to effect family planning.”

Another part of the strategy is using gender confusion ideology to prevent mass births. Whereas men and women naturally breed, masculinizing women and effeminizing men — contravening “gender norms” — is an effective way to stagnate a population.

“For FP2030, an intentional approach to gender equality makes our work more effective in advancing both family planning and gender equality,” says an FP2030 presentation titled “FP2030 Gender Strategy.”

The organization plainly states that “[g]ender norms . . . create barriers to FP access” and “[w]ith greater funding and scale, gender-transformative approaches will advance gender equality and accelerate progress on contraceptive access and use.”

In countries where birth prevention rates are stagnant, FP2030 says gender ideology, or “positive gender norms,” can be “more effective”: “In countries where contraceptive prevalence has plateaued, demand-side interventions promoting positive gender norms can be more effective than supply‑side approaches.”

Gender Strategy notes that feminist operatives are also very helpful in driving birth prevention.

This may also explain why US intelligence agencies are heavily funding gender confusion around the globe through “Pride” organizations and events.

Such gender confusion — where women are masculinized and men are effeminized — is also achieved by birth prevention drugs themselves. According to scientific evidence, women who take birth prevention pills are likely to find more effeminate men attractive and themselves less attractive. They are also more likely to be sexually dissatisfied and cheat on their partners. If the woman wants to conceive, she can cease taking the pill which may make her lose interest in her partner, potentially fragmenting the family if a child is conceived.

The desire among globalists to prevent births is aggressive. Even though certain birth preventive injections can increase the risk of HIV, for example, the World Health Organization (WHO) still recommends it be provided to women.

“WHO advises that women should not be denied the use of progestogen-only injectables because of concerns about the possible increased [HIV] risk,” reads an FP2020 report. Women should be made aware of the increased risk of HIV, it continues, but they should also be told there is “uncertainty over a causal relationship.”

Vaccination is also included in FP2030’s mass birth prevention strategy.

Nepal’s government, for instance, “is developing an integrated care strategy that includes family planning and immunization integration. Progress is being made on ensuring that post-abortion family planning is regularly offered.” FP2030 funds to Nepal also go towards “employing mass media to reach youth, ethnic minorities, and marginalized and disadvantaged groups with family planning information.”

Ultimately, FP2030 has been successful. One in three women of reproductive age is now using birth prevention products, boasts the organization, with the sharpest increase in Sub-Saharan Africa. As of July 2022, an estimated 371 million women and girls around the world are using birth prevention.

Notably, this is in addition to birth prevention products used by men.

Human Breath Fueling ‘Climate Change,’ Warns New Study

Human Breath Fueling ‘Climate Change,’ Warns New Study

How far-fetched do things have to get?

Human breath fueling ‘climate change,’ warns new study

Researchers recommend further studies on ‘rigid dietary regimes’

Yudi Sherman, Frontline News, December 19, 2023

https://frontline.news/post/human-breath-fueling-climate-change-warns-new-study

Humans are contributing to global warming by breathing, warns a new study.

British researchers looked at 328 breath samples from 104 participants and found concentrations of methane and nitrous oxide gasses, believed to be more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide (CO2). While humans expel CO2 as well, it is usually soaked up by plant life and thus has a negligible impact on the environment.

Among the participants, those who emitted the most methane through their breath were more likely to be female and over 30 years old, though the researchers are unsure why.

The study’s authors are also unsure what is causing these gasses to appear in the human body. They dismiss the suggestion that a vegetarian diet rather than a more carnivorous one would be impactful.

“The factors that affect human emissions of CH4 and N2O are not well understood and the impacts of an aging population and shifting diets is still relatively uncertain,” the researchers wrote. “Converting from high meat and protein content diets to higher fibre vegetarian options to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases from meat production potentially results in higher production of gases in the human gut, and an element of pollution swapping could occur.”

In fact, the researchers looked at the participants’ dietary habits and found that meat consumption had no bearing on methane and nitrous oxide levels expelled through breath.

Nevertheless, the authors recommend that researchers continue to study whether “rigid dietary regimes” might reduce the effect of emissions.

In the study’s conclusion they also caution against dismissing the impact of human breath on the environment as “negligible,” and add that this is exacerbated by human flatulence.

“[W]e would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible. We report only emissions in breath in this study, and flatus emissions are likely to increase these values significantly,” the researchers concluded.

Human breath is only the latest offender determined to cause “climate change.” Other factors include the US military, which Soros-funded groups recently recommended be trimmed or abolished altogether to preserve the environment.

Another factor contributing to “climate change” is private car ownership.

According to a report published by globalist and academic groups earlier this year, all cars — including electric vehicles (EVs) — are harmful to the environment. Because EVs are built with lithium batteries, the current push to convert cars into EVs by globalists like Joe Biden — who has mandated that EVs constitute 50% of the US national fleet by 2030 — will lead to a lithium shortage. When that happens, lithium will need to be mined, which will harm the environment.

By 2050, the report projects, the EV market will require triple the lithium currently used and will thus require significant mining.

Therefore, since the “solution” to “climate change” will, in fact, cause more climate change, the authors suggest reducing car ownership.

Researchers Knowingly Submit Misleading Papers to Journals, says Scientist

Researchers Knowingly Submit Misleading Papers to Journals, says Scientist

‘I know this because I am one of them’

Yudi Sherman, Frontline News, September 11, 2023

(https://frontline.news/post/researchers-knowingly-submit-misleading-papers-to-journals-says-scientist)

Researchers who want to be published in scientific journals often adjust science to fit the publishers’ preferred narratives, admitted a climate scientist Tuesday.

In an article for The Free Press, Breakthrough Institute Climate and Energy Co-Director Patrick Brown revealed that he recently submitted a paper along with seven other researchers which he knew was not “the full truth.”

The paper examined the link between “climate change” and wildfires which are ravaging various locales such as Canada and Hawaii. While there are several factors which contribute to the wildfires — including many reports of arson — Brown excluded them and blamed “climate change,” which he knew the editors of Nature would favor.

Nature published Brown’s paper on August 30th.

“I knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change in my research because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell,” wrote Brown.

The researcher added that science journal editors “have made it abundantly clear” that “they want climate papers that support certain preapproved narratives—even when those narratives come at the expense of broader knowledge for society.”

These editors wield major influence on scientific fields, he added, choosing submissions at their discretion and publishing them as quality science.

“Savvy researchers tailor their studies to maximize the likelihood that their work is accepted. I know this because I am one of them.”

Aside from omitting contributing factors to wildfires like forest management practices, Brown’s paper also selected metrics the authors knew would be most sensational, even if they were not the most intuitive metrics. For example, instead of focusing on how many more acres of land are damaged from “climate change,” the author’s wrote that wildfires have burned over 10,000 acres in a single day.

In reality, wildfires are declining, as noted by Canada’s own Canadian National Fire Database (CNFDB). Climate deaths have also been decreasing, Brown acknowledges, while crop yields have been increasing. Nevertheless, climate “scientists” continue to insist in their academic papers that “climate change” is evident by climate deaths and agricultural damage.

“Climate change” is not the only narrative prioritized over science. Science journals have taken a reputational dive during the COVID-19 pandemic as editors shaped “science” on masks and vaccines.

Oxford University Senior Associate Tutor Dr. Tom Jefferson, MD is the lead author of a large-scale study recently published by the Cochrane Institute which concluded that surgical masks and even N95 or P2 respirators offer little protection against COVID-19, if at all.

Dr. Jefferson revealed in February that as far back as 2020 he had discovered the inefficacy of masks — but Cochrane held back on publishing his research.

“In early 2020, when the pandemic was ramping up, we had just updated our Cochrane review ready to publish . . . but Cochrane held it up for 7 months before it was finally published in November 2020,” Dr. Jefferson told reporter Maryanne Demasi in an interview. “Those 7 months were crucial. During that time, it was when policy about masks was being formed. Our review was important, and it should have been out there.”

Cochrane made Jefferson and his team jump through hoops to delay publication, such as demanding the study go through an extra peer-review.

“And then they forced us to insert unnecessary text phrases in the review like ‘this review doesn’t contain any COVID-19 trials,’ when it was obvious to anyone reading the study that the cut-off date was January 2020,” Jefferson said.

He added that during the seven months the study was withheld, other researchers at Cochrane were allowed to publish “unacceptable pieces of work” because they had the “right answer” — that mask-wearing is effective.

Then, after the seven-month delay, Cochrane published Jefferson’s research. But they attached an editorial to undermine his work.

“The main message of that editorial was that you can’t sit on your hands, you’ve got to do something, you can’t wait for good evidence. . . . [I]t’s a complete subversion of the ‘precautionary principle’ which states that you should do nothing unless you have reasonable evidence that benefits outweigh the harms.”

Still other narratives are preferred by journal editors over scientific evidence, as three researchers found through an experiment in 2018.

James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian submitted 20 academic papers to several “serious” peer-reviewed journals over 12 months. The articles espoused ludicrous notions — such as “female interpretive dance” being superior to western astronomy, which was declared sexist. Another paper focused on “canine rape culture” and suggested dogs “suffer oppression based on (perceived) gender.” Yet another paper advocated for educators to bind white students in chains, and another rewrote portions of Hitler’s Mein Kampf in feminist language.

Only six of these papers were rejected by science journals.

“It may be time to move from assuming that research has been honestly conducted and reported to assuming it to be untrustworthy until there is some evidence to the contrary,” wrote former British Medical Journal Editor Richard Smith in 2021.

Is Wikipedia an Elite Disinformation Tool?

Is Wikipedia an Elite Disinformation Tool?

By Yudi Sherman

Posted on August 18, 2023





Most of the millions of internet users who turn to Wikipedia for information are unaware that some of the site’s data have been carefully selected by those with means.

Journalist Lee Fang reported Tuesday that in 2014 Hunter Biden hired a consulting firm to alter information written about him on the site. This included deleting information about his ties to the Ukrainian firm Burisma, for which he is now under federal investigation.

Biden asked public relations firm FTI Consulting to also remove information about his ties to disgraced Ponzi scheme artist Allen Stafford, as well as a line about the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) being tied to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

NED is heavily funded by the US government and widely believed to be a CIA front. Since the 1980s the organization has helped orchestrate several regime changes, which involved funding Nicaraguan rebels, financing anti-apartheid efforts in South Africa, and bankrolling the Arab Spring.

According to Fang, Biden previously worked for NED. But a review of his current Wikipedia page shows no mention of his association with the organization.

In addition to removing information, Biden asked FTI to add official titles he held at non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other innocuous details.

Just a month after his emails to FTI, Biden’s page had dramatically changed into a flattering portrait of the then-vice president’s son. Details about his volunteer work appeared, along with several appointments he held on boards and committees. Negative references had been removed.

The edit history for Hunter Biden’s page reveals that just after he conveyed his request to FTI, there was a flurry of edits by several different users, at least one of whom was discovered to be a sock puppet, or a fake account. That user, named Earflaps, had also been involved in efforts to improve the online images of Russian businessmen.

“This is back in good shape,” wrote FTI’s Ryan Toohey to Eric Schwerin, Hunter Biden’s business partner in charge of the overhaul. “We’ll be keeping an eye on it for changes.”

Years later, Biden’s father used Wikipedia to spread government misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines. He commissioned a group named Hacks/Hackers to hire Wikipedia censors — called “Research Coordinators” — for a project called NewsQ. The censors’ job was to list which sources of vaccine information are “credible sources” and which are “unreliable”. Job applicants did not need a medical background or expertise in a medical field to become a Research Coordinator.

“That list is already taking shape on Wikipedia, with liberal outlets such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian, and The Atlantic all marked ‘reliable,’” reported The Daily Wire. “Conservative sites, including The Daily Wire, Daily Mail, Epoch Times, and The Federalist, are all classified as either ‘unreliable’ or ‘conspiracy’.”

Hospitals Ask Unvaccinated Workers Back

Hospitals Ask Unvaccinated Workers Back

By Yudi Sherman

Posted on August 18, 2023





Several hospitals are expressing interest in rehiring employees they fired for refusing the COVID-19 shots.

Unvaccinated workers who were fired from MaineGeneral Health reported last week receiving text messages from the healthcare provider asking for their return.

“You were once a proud member of the MaineGeneral team. Would you consider rejoining us? We would be pleased to discuss options with you,” the MaineGeneral Health Recruitment team is reportedly asking employees, adding that the hospital was only following orders.

“As you know, nearly 2 years ago MaineGeneral had to comply with a state mandate for COVID-19 vaccination. We lost a number of great employees as a result, including you.”

In 2021 MaineGeneral fired around 200 employees, or 4% of its workforce, for not complying with the vaccine mandate. All religious exemption requests were denied and some employees were charged with misconduct. Many workers were denied unemployment benefits.

In its recent messages to terminated healthcare workers, MaineGeneral says it has removed COVID-19 vaccination as an employment condition because the state’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers was rescinded on August 3rd.

“I was livid. Like, how dare you force me out of a career that I’ve dedicated my whole life to, taken away my livelihood, my ability to earn a good income, and now you think I’m gonna come grovel back to you?” Nurse Terry Poland told the Maine Wire. “I don’t hardly think so. And that’s the attitude of most everybody that I’ve been in contact with since yesterday.”

Hospitals in Syracuse, New York are also looking to rehire unvaccinated workers after the New York Health Department announced in May it would no longer enforce vaccine mandates for unvaccinated healthcare workers. St. Joseph’s Health, which fired 111 employees for refusing the shots, still has 80% of the positions vacant, reports Syracuse.com. Crouse Hospital is also seeking to rehire the 28 unvaccinated employees it terminated.

“Our talent acquisition team is actively contacting our former colleagues, encouraging them to consider returning to the organization,” St. Joseph’s Dr. Philip Falcone said in a statement.

But not only hospitals are seeking to fill the voids left by unvaccinated employees. In Washington, a King County Council committee motion was put forth last month to rehire unvaccinated employees as the county suffers from staff shortages across departments.

Eight employees retired, 25 resigned, and 281 employees were fired over King County’s mandate. Now the Seattle Weekly reports that the local government has 2,143 full-time vacancies.

“Now, I certainly got my COVID shot before it was mandated, and I felt it was important to do so,” King County Corrections Guild Vice President Randy Weaver told the King County Council. “We still have a 20% vacancy rate. We still are impacted by large amounts of mandatory overtime. If this helps us just get a couple of our experienced employees back, it helps us. Not only does it tell someone we value their . . . years of experience — bringing them back where they left off — that also tells employees still working here that we value you.”
