US to Withhold Aid to Sierra Leone over Abortion

US foreign aid agency called the Millennium Challenge Corporation is threatening to withhold aid from Sierra Leone if the nation fails to legalize abortion. There is no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to politics or business. Now, $480 million in aid is on the line, all in the name of abortion. What gives the US moral grounds to tell other nations how to live?

The US organization believes that the African nation must pass the Safe Motherhood Act to permit abortions up to 14 weeks for any reason. Parliament passed the Safe Abortion Act in 2015, permitting abortions during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. President Julius Maada Bio seems willing to expand these laws despite pushback. The Inter Religious Council of Sierra Leone (IRCSL) composed of Christians and Muslims have been opposing extending abortion laws.

“It is deeply disturbing, but not terribly surprising, that we are hearing reports that the Biden administration is threatening to withhold foreign assistance to Sierra Leone unless legislators there pass the deceptively named ‘Safe Motherhood Act’ legislation that would legalize abortion in Sierra Leone, a country that currently protects unborn life,” Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said in a statement first shared with The Daily Signal. Sierra Leone could certainly use the funding, and this ploy is bending the will of desperate people.

So ahead of Trump, the Biden Administration is demanding that a predominately Muslim (78.5%) country abandon its religious beliefs and cave to their demands. The issue is not abortion but that the US is threatening to withhold aid from a vulnerable nation if it does not comply. We see this happen with countless issues throughout African nations as developed nations believe they can use money to shift their societies as they see fit.

Decline in the Birthrate & Biden’s Agenda

2009 Ginsberg Eugenics

Bill Gater’s dream of killing off half the population is coming true. The Gates Agenda began with his father and Planned Parenthood being put in minority areas to reduce the population based on race. Even Roe v Wade was cleverly used to tell women it was their BODY, THEIR RIGHT, to have an abortion. Justice Ginsberg, who was a woman’s rights advocate, said that this Supreme Court decision had NOTHING to do with women’s rights – it was all about reducing the population.

Decline in Birthrate

Now we have a real crisis unfolding, and Gates is perhaps popping the champagne in celebration.

  • Birthrates are falling globally.
  • In many countries, COVID-19 has suppressed population growth, resulting in a sharp decline in births and simultaneously reducing expectancy.
  • Even before the pandemic, urbanization drove population decline as it historically always does with prosperity.

China realized we were heading into a crisis. Their one-child policy would lead to a 50% reduction in population, and the majority wanted just a boy to keep the family name. In 2021, they reversed that policy, now directing families to have three children as the West declines in population with the rise of this Climate Change agenda that has transformed into reducing the population.

Population Growth 1950 2022

While the Climate Change people are in bed with the Neocons and promote World War III behind the headlines to reduce the world population by at least 2 billion, historically, population declines with economic prosperity. In an agrarian society, large families were necessary to work the farm, and the children took care of their parents before the Great Depression and socialism, where governments created Ponzi schemes to replace the family unit. Most children today do not save to care for their parents; that’s the government’s job. It has reversed where parents care for their children even into their 40s.

Gates Population Control

Of course, Gates has been indoctrinated by his father and is so concerned about reducing the population one must wonder why he supported vaccines to improve health when, in fact, all the evidence surfaces is exactly the opposite.

WSJ 2009 Shrink Population Gates

Gates has used his money to influence climate change and, at the same time, promote vaccines along with reducing the world population. His positions are hypocritical to say the least. One must wonder if any vaccine is safe anymore.

When the Vice President said the real agenda, they quickly said she misspoke and meant to say “POLLUTION” rather than “POPULATION.” It seems strange that she supposedly read that one word wrong. Or was this a slip of the tongue because what they are talking about behind the cameras is a reduction in the population?

US Population Growth 1950 2024

Looking at the annual population growth in the USA, we can see that Biden’s border opening has tremendously impacted the growth rate. Moreover, they expect this to shift the politics in the USA to the leftist movement. But additionally, the LEFT wants war, and they need bodies to send to fight. From day one, Biden opened the border and allowed the flood of predominately young men to the promised land. They did not know they were being offered citizenship in return for military service.

Sparta Warriors

Sparta in ancient Greece rewarded fathers based on the number of children. Sparta wanted soldiers, so the more children, the better. But Sparta undermined its own economy in the process. Production of children was rewarded in Sparta, and the fathers of three or four sons were exempted from military service and other economic burdens. Sparta divided estates (partibility) among all the heirs.

Aristotle was sharply critical of this practice and wrote:

“It is obvious that, if there were many children, the land being distributed as it is, many of them must necessarily fall into poverty.”

Sparta Coinage Spears

Biden’s opening of the border may increase his military so he can wage war against China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran simultaneously. Still, it will drive the US economy into poverty and reduce per capita production and income. This is what undermined Sparta. They were a socialist state that never issued coinage because personal wealth was prohibited. They used an iron spit or rode to discourage the accumulation of wealth and its use. You were to be the property of the state – no individuality.

When you look closely for a common denominator of the decline and fall of a civilization, what surfaces is a striking pattern of birth control and declining birth rates. The history of birth control pre-Christianity was very different, for abortion had none of the stigma in most cultures. There are even surviving documents from ancient Egypt concerning birth control and abortion. The Ebers Papyrus from 1550 BC describes the use of honey, acacia leaves, and lint to be placed in the vagina to block sperm. The Kahun Papyrus from 1850BC described birth control methods using contraceptive devices and the use of acacia gum, which has confirmed spermatocide qualities and today is still used in contraceptive jellies.

Cyrenen Birth Control AR Didrachm 294 275BC

It would seem that the main product of Cyrene and the city of Barce at this time was the silphium plant. This was the main source of prosperity were agriculture and animal husbandry. Horses could graze in the less fertile areas, where the silphium plant grew wild. Silphium juice’s value for pregnancy prevention brought great wealth to this region. The historian Pliny tells us that it was a veritable cure-all; it is said to have had hundreds of medicinal and cosmetic uses. It was used to treat everything from chills to fevers. Hippocrates tells us that it could be used as a poultice or to soothe the stomach. Cooks also used the plant in their recipes.

However, this plant was used as a type of birth control. Indeed, medical evidence from classical antiquity informs us that it was the drug of choice for contraception. A History of Contraception and Abortion in the West. The Greek physician, Soranus of Ephesus, suggested taking a dose of silphium “the size of a chick-pea” once a month, both to prevent conception and “destroy any already existing.” The ancient abortion pills.

Cyrenen Birth Control AR Hemidrachm 500 480BC

Silphium’s seedpod resembles the modern Valentine’s heart. It has been argued that the popularity of this plant and its connection to love and sex just may have been the true origin of the image of the heart we still use today. The ancient city of Cyrene, which grew rich from the silphium trade, even sold heart-shaped fruit on its money from the earliest Archaic times of the 6th century BC.

Nero Bust

This plant was indigenous to Cyrene and resisted all attempts at mass cultivation. That kept the price high, but the demand was so great that this contributed to its extinction by the 1st Century A.D. As legends go, the Roman Emperor Nero (54-68AD) was presented with the last surviving stalk, Silphium.

Cyrene became a prosperous country, and it was all for birth control.

Christians are on the FBI Watchlist

America was once a Christian nation with shared values, morals, and traditions. The government has done everything possible to remove any mention of God, as there can be no higher entity. This goes far beyond separating the church from state. Christian beliefs have been demonized with this woke agenda that goes against all mainstream religions. Worse, a leaked FBI memo reveals that Christians are being watched and labeled “radical traditionalists” and “potential terrorists.”

“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.” John 15:18

The FBI has been sending undercover agents into churches, predominately Catholic Churches. “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities,” was leaked in January but no one has been held responsible and Christians are still being targeted by the government.

The FBI deemed pro-life supporters as terrorists. Why? This clearly violates the constitution and shows that the government wants to dismantle religion.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Who authorized FBI agents to attend Sunday masses and treat Christians as domestic terrorists? Pro-abortionists were permitted to interrupt church services, screaming, “Jesus hates you! Fund abortion, not cops!” Now if that happened in a synagogue or a mosque, those people would be arrested for a hate crime. Soros and the Open Society Foundation openly funds pro-abortion protests and rallies. Alex Soros commented in 2019, “Far-right and anti-abortion groups around the world are emboldened by the Trump administration’s extreme policies that are harming vulnerable groups and undermining global health.” They are aiming to group religion and politics together. The Open Society Foundations spent millions to repeal abortion restrictions in the US and Europe, and it was successful in repealing some restrictions in Ireland. Yet, the parishioners are seen as violent terrorists? The FBI has truly become Biden’s Gestapo as conservative views are not permitted under his rule. The FBI infiltrated American churches without just cause. Nothing is sacred anymore.

Not Today Satan – Mark Houck Found Not Guilty of Federal Charges of Obstructing an Abortion Clinic


Posted originally on the CTH on January 30, 2023 | Sundance

Early in the morning of September 23, 2022, pro-life activist Mark Houck was awakened by the nightmare of 25 armed FBI agents banging on his door.  They gained entry, held his family at gunpoint and took him into federal custody on charges he violated the “Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

The issue stemmed from an incident in October of the prior year (2021) when an abortion activist confronted Mr. Houck and his son while peacefully protesting.

Bruce Love, a 72-year-old volunteer at a Philadelphia Planned Parenthood began shouting at Houck and his son, aggressively in his face.

Mr. Houck shoved Mr. Love out of the way, and the abortion industry used the shove to claim Houck committed violence and federal law enforcement got involved.

Today, Mark Houck was found not guilty of the federal charges, by a jury in Pennsylvania.

(Fox News) – […] Houck was arrested in his home by multiple FBI agents in September 2022.  U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, celebrated the news of Houck’s acquittal with a tweet. “Good. Begs question of the $48 billion we give to DOJ…,” he wrote. 

Shortly after Houck’s arrest last fall, his attorney Peter Breen told Fox News Digital that his client’s arrest was an “outrageous abuse of power” from the Department of Justice that was intended to intimidate pro-life Americans.

“The message from the Biden Department of Justice is pure intimidation against pro-life people and people of faith,” said Breen, senior counsel of the Thomas More Society. “Why in the world would you send this phalanx of officers heavily armed to this family’s home, violate the sanctity of their home, frighten their children? Why would you do that, other than just to send a message?

Bill Devlin, a pastor who has ministered with Houck for more than 20 years, told The Christian Post last year that appeared federal prosecutors were “stretching the statute of the FACE Act.” (more)

Mr. Houck attorney’s response: “We are, of course, thrilled with the outcome,” stated Peter Breen, Thomas More Society Executive Vice President & Head of Litigation. “Mark and his family are now free of the cloud that the Biden administration threw upon them. We took on Goliath – the full might of the United States government – and won. The jury saw through and rejected the prosecution’s discriminatory case, which was harassment from day one. This is a win for Mark and the entire pro-life movement. The Biden Department of Justice’s intimidation against pro-life people and people of faith has been put in its place.”

Democrats Lied About Abortion Just to Win


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 18, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Dick Armey is the former House Majority Leader and an Economist from Texas. He was elected to Congress in 1984,and arrived in Washington as a novice. Dick, being an economist, was a strong believer in the policies of Ronald Reagan. He was a staunch supporter of his policies, which were revolutionary for Washington. Because of his background, Dick quickly rose through the ranks of his party in Washington and became the primary author of the “Contract with America.” That was actually a collection of ten bills that would be brought up for a vote during the first 100 days of a Republican-controlled Congress.

Bill Archer served as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1970 to 2001. Bill was a lawyer and originally a Democrat who saw the light of failed Marxism and switched to the Republican Party in 1969. He later on represented Texas in the House of Representatives for 30 years, from 1971 until 2001. Bill’s last six years was as chairman of the most powerful committee, the House Ways and Means Committee.

Dick was for the Flat Tax and Bill was for the Retail Sales Tax. I found myself trying to negotiate between the two and that was the end of my effort to try to contribute in Washington and ended my naivety. I was sitting in Dick’s office and he said to me, “Marty, you know cycles.” He explained that he could not support Bill because without repealing the 16th Amendment that created the income tax, “when the Democrats get back in, we will have both.”

It was at that moment that I realized my effort was hopeless. I said: “Dick, you are right.”

An amendment to the Constitution may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose.

There is no way the Democrats were being honest. They knew they could NEVER create a Constitutional Amendment on abortion, gay marriage, or repealing the Income Tax. Such amendments are impossible for even getting passed in the House and Senate, they  still must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.

Perhaps all the women who voted Democrat solely because of the lies they told about abortion will wake up and realize in politics, all is fair as in war. It NEVER has anything to do with truth.

I can run for office and promise whatever is fashionable to win. However, when you get to Washington, you are given a little greeting ceremony and then you are told that means nothing. You will be instructed what to vote for and that is why you see all these votes down party line. You NO LONGER vote for any politicians individually, you vote for the party and people in the backroom determine what will be the vote – the unelected bureaucrats.

So the Democrats outright lied to win. They could NEVER get abortion as a constitutional right – total BS just as repealing the 16th Amendment to end income taxes. We do not live in a Democracy for We the People have no direct right to vote on anything.

We live in a Republic which is becoming an Authoritarian Regime abandoning the foundation of civilization turning one group against another until the whole thing comes crashing down, Civilization exists ONLY when everyone benefits – not what we have today rising hatred and political arguments pitting man against his brother until mankind exists no more.
