Bloomberg released a damning report that explains how childcare costs exceed the average price of rent in the United States. This does not factor in the various costs of raising a child, as it merely looks at the cost of sending them to daycare. The true reason we are seeing a birth rate crisis across the world comes down to economics.
Over half of families (53.3%) were dual-income earners in the United States as of 2019. That figure has been steadily rising over the years, and we will see more parents re-enter the workforce amid the cost of living crisis.
The US Department of Agriculture completed a study in 2017, before we were wiped out by inflation, stating that it would take around $233,610 to $306,924 to raise a child in the United States. Brookings Institute found that costs from birth to age 17 would total around $310,605. Expect to pay more.
Child Care Aware of America, a nonprofit, found that child care costs exceed the average rent payment by over 25% on average, but can topple 50% of the average cost of rent in at least eight states. The study found that childcare costs alone, not the overall cost of raising a child, consume 10% of a married couple’s income. Childcare costs spiked to $11,582 per child last year, marking a 3.7% increase from the year prior.
Three million kids are expected to lose childcare benefits this year now that COVID benefits are not available. America is the only advanced nation that does not offer paid maternity leave thanks to lobbying efforts. Statistics show those who have the least have the most kids, and parents expect the government/taxpayers to pay for those costs.
The birth rate declined by 3% in 2022 from the year prior, marking the lowest fertility rate on record. There were 3.59 million new births in 2023, the lowest since 1979. The only demographic seeing a rise in births are women over 40 (13 births per 1,000 women), as couples simply do not have the funding to bring children into this world. If they want to combat the rapidly declining population, they must look at the finances involved.

(Video of Indians in a village chasing out vaccination squads as their government forced the experimental vaccine on the population)
“Doctors knew Covid vaccine’s side-effects killed my daughter. But they didn’t tell us,” one parent from India told a reporter from the Times of India. We know that AstraZeneca recently revealed their vaccine could cause fatal side effects, which the company failed to reveal until a class-action lawsuit brought it to light. That vaccine was responsible for nearly 90% of vaccinations across India. More news is coming to light about Covishield as a group of grieving parents are speaking out about what the government, pharmaceutical companies, and health agencies did to end the lives of their children abruptly.
Now a class-action lawsuit was filed in the UK against the same manufacturer with people reporting the same lethal ailments. That specific case led to AstraZeneca revealing that their “safe and effective” vaccine could cause Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Syndrome (TTS). “Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Syndrome (TTS) is one of the rare but very serious adverse effects that has happened as part of Vaccine-induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (VITTP). The incidence has been as low as one in 50,000 (0.002 per cent), but in a huge population, the number becomes sizeable,” infectious disease expert Dr. Ishwar Gilada, told IANS.
In India, parents are filing cases against both AstraZeneca and Serum Institute of India (SII) where it was manufactured. The Supreme Court against Serum Institute of India (SII) has agreed to hear their pleas. The Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI) is only acknowledging that a few of the reported deaths were directly caused by the vaccination. “Overall, the benefits of vaccination are overwhelmingly greater than the small risk of harm,” the AEFI continues to promote.
Doctors are now saying that they did indeed know that the experimental jab could result in death BUT they chose not to reveal that information to the public because they believed the risks outweighed the cons. This is utterly unethical – parents would not have chose to vaccinate their children had they known there was a higher risk of death from the vaccine than the actual virus which was nothing more than a flu-like virus for children. The AEFI even acknowledges that they discussed these side-effects before treating patients but did not reveal their findings until November 2021 when the Right to Information Act (RTI) forced transparency.
These parents are hoping that others come forward to hold these MURDERERS responsible. One parent stated, “We blindly trusted our government, believing the vaccines to be safe for our children.” Everyone blindly trusted the government except the far-right conspiracy theorists spreading disinformation, who were banished from society for a few years. Now, hardly anyone trusts the government as COVID marked a massive downturn in government confidence overall.

California is a socialistic cesspool of failed policies that funnel money through inefficient charities. I recently reported that the state, which boasts the largest homeless population in the United States, failed an audit that found nine agencies misused $24 billion in government funds intended to combat homelessness. Now, new reports state that San Francisco alone has been spending $5 per year on alcohol for the homeless.
The “managed alcohol program”states that it aims to keep homeless people physically dependent on alcohol out of jail or the hospital systems by providing them with “controlled doses” of beer and vodka. The program apparently has only served 65 clients, but the public sector has found a way to spend an astounding $5 million annually on a bar tab for the homeless.
The audit I originally referenced found that all of California’s efforts to combat homelessness have miserably failed. In fact, homelessness has shot up by 56.7% since 2015, when a number of these programs were first implemented. It’s almost as if these non-profits could not survive if they were to actually focus on recovery and rehabilitation efforts instead of fueling addictions.

These people are not receiving medical care, and yes, alcohol withdrawal can be fatal but these individuals are simply receiving free drugs funded by the state in order to boost California’s homelessness problem. It would be akin to giving free lines of credit to people with gambling addictions – utter nonsense.
So, while families struggle to afford food and healthcare, Pelosi’s city of San Francisco is prioritizing the money pit that is the public sector. America’s public sector is multiplying under Biden-Harris and there are countless useless agencies spending our tax dollars on worsening our communities for profit.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), “a rare brain disorder that leads to dementia,” according to the Mayo Clinic is suddenly on the rise. This prion disease deteriorated the brain, and prions are known to break down proteins perhaps similar to the ones released by the mRNA vaccine. There has been a massive uptick in CJD cases in the past three years – coincidence?
There have been 42 proven cases of the COVID vaccine leading to CJD, as reported to the Vaccine Adverse Reporting System (VAERS). But as we know, they will link new ailments to anything but the mRNA vaccine. There have been reported cases of younger individuals contracting CJD as a result of the experimental jab.
Will anyone who forced this poison on the masses see their day of judgment? Not likely on Earth. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally admitted this week that they used taxpayer funds to study gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
Everyone denied that they were even studying gain-of-function research, let alone using public funds to study the most extensive example of biological warfare the world has ever seen. NIH Director Lawrence Tabak, when probed by Rep. Debbie Lesko on the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, finally admitted: “It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”
Tabak admitted that the research is “not regulated” because “it poses no threat or harm to anybody.”
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) continued to fund the Wuhan Institute of Virology long after the pandemic and into July 2023. At present, the Wuhan lab is only barred from receiving funding until 2033.
No one has been more adamant about denying the study of gain-of-function research than Anthony Fauci, America’s poster boy for “TRUST THE SCIENCE.” Fauci has sworn under oath numerous times that the NIH has never funded such studies. Biden has provided Fauci with personal escorts to and from the court hearings to ensure his protection as he is an asset to the establishment who is above the law.
I applaud the liked of Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for continuing to pry Anthony Fauci for information regarding the coronavirus. Why was it created and why was it released? The lie we were told in March 2020 about the Chinese purchasing infected bats in wet markets simply does not add up.
The entire world was conned. This has been one of the biggest acts of war on the public in all of history. People DIED as a direct result of their experiments, and those who received the experimental vaccine are continuing to fall ill with “rare” illnesses. These people should not be above the law – they offset civilization as we know it.

There is something really wrong at the International Criminal Court. It has been taken over by the Neocons and is violating international law and its own jurisdiction. I had dinner with the ICC, and they were appalled at what was done to me. They expressed how they “wished” they could have charged the judges and prosecutors as well as politicians involved and viewed me as a whistleblower against the bankers and Neocons. I had that dinner, I believe, back in 2012. They said they LACKED THE JURISDICTION to bring charges against NON-MEMBERS.
Here is a list of their members. The United States refused to sign because it did not want it to be charged in a court it did not control. Look closely; you will see that NEITHER Russia nor Israel are members of the ICC. They have NO jurisdiction whatsoever with regard to crimes of aggression, and for that, both states must be members. That is why the prosecution of Putin was clearly a fraud and obviously orchestrated by the Neocons. The charge against Putin and Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova was really a stretch, alleging he was responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and the unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). This was to take children out of the war zone, and they turned that into a war crime of aggression that did not require membership. This was really politically motivated, showing the ICC is a joke. When none of the nations tied to the crimes are ICC Treaty signatories, then the task of contracting the ICC to investigate falls to the United Nations Security Council.
Now, the ICC is acting under political pressure again. Palestine became a special member, so here, there is jurisdiction over only one country. These arrest warrants are for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. They have also issued warrants for Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, political chief Ismail Haniyah, and Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri, the leader of Hamas’ armed wing, also known as Mohammed Deif. The pressure was that ICC is controlled by the West and is irrelevant. This idea that they can use JUSTICE to stop wars is really absurd. You can have a law against murder, but in the heat of passion, nobody calculates if I do this, I can be charged – the act without thinking about the consequences.
The charges, in this case, are different from non-members. They would face a sentence of up to 30 years in prison and possibly life. Being a member state, they would be under a legal obligation to arrest any of those charged if they traveled to any of those 124 countries, which means Europe. That obligation to arrest them demonstrates how internationally the ICC actually threatens world war by preventing any diplomatic conferences. For example, Putin canceled his plans to attend the BRICS summit in South Africa in the apparent light of Pretoria’s obligation to arrest him.
The ICC’s charges here should not be confused with another similar case pending against the state of Israel, namely the charge of genocide leveled against it by several nations. Among others, South Africa has spearheaded a case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) based on the high number of casualties in Gaza.
Since Palestine is a member, they should immediately arrest Hamas leaders Sinwar and Deif, who are in Gaza, but Haniyah resides in Qatar, which is a non-member. Will Palestine comply? Israel is not a member and does not have to comply. If the ICC charged Macron in France, is the country then obligated to arrest its own president contrary to its own laws? This introduces the paradox of the ICC questioning if it is even valid under international law. It acts as the supreme authority as if it were a one-world government, which has always been the aspiration and dream of the United Nations.
Some argue that this prosecutor had no choice because Palestine is a member of the ICC and the criticism has been that they are the puppet of the West after the Putin nonsense. So he has charged Netanyahu to politically vindicate the ICC. However, what he has unleashed is breaking the European ties and support for Israel. ICC arrest warrants against Israeli officials he can cleverly use to interfere in the entire backing for Israel. Israel’s European allies could be forced to terminate their relationship with Israel or risk being indicted in the ICC for aiding criminals.
If Palestine now refuses to turn off Hamas leaders in Gaza, then they too would be in a conspiracy, and Europeans who support Palestine could be forced to cut all ties. This illustrates that this idea of the ICC was clearly never well thought out, that they would never prevent war with justice but could promote war with arrest warrants that prevented diplomatic negotiations. For example, Putin can no longer even attend G20 meetings. When you cut off all diplomatic communications, then the ONLY alternative is war. The ICC should be terminated. Like NATO, which exists ONLY for war, the ICC dangerously breaks down the possibility of peace with its political interference in international relations.
For political propaganda purposes, the European countries supported the ICC arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin for purported transporting children, not atrocities in Ukraine. I have videos captured by Ukrainians showing the crucifying of Russian soldiers and setting them on fire. Accounts from French volunteer soldiers who left Ukraine witnessed Ukrainians shooting the heads of Russian prisoners of war for fun. The ICC has refused to charge anyone on the Ukrainian side for war crimes. They never charged the British or Americans for war crimes in Iraq.
Karim Khan is the Chief Prosecutor at the ICC since 2021. He is a British lawyer whose father was born in Mardan, Pakistan. Issuing an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel when Israel is not a member is outrageous on the pretense that Palestine is a member. But he got away with it and issued the political arrest for Putin, ensuring there could be no diplomatic meetings, and everyone cheered. If Putin flew to America for a White House meeting and flew over France, do they have the right to send up jets to intercept Putin’s flight and shoot it down if they refuse to land?
This is what I have warned about precedent. He got away with Putin and will obviously abuse his power against non-members, and the ramifications can be dramatic from a political perspective; sure, Israel will not cooperate, and neither will the United States. Will Palestine really arrest and hand over Hamas’s leadership? But what will the members in Europe do now? If they send any support to Israel or Palestine, if they do not comply, they can be charged under the conspiracy theories. The ICC can easily hurl the world into international war over their pretend authority that nobody ever thought through the true consequences of this one-world government approach.

About the Film:
The International Criminal Court (ICC) seeks arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, for war and crimes against humanity.
The award-winning documentary WAR AND JUSTICE by directors Marcus Vetter and Michele Gentile about the ICC in The Hague couldn’t be more spot on. It will have its German theatrical release on June 6, 2024. The film will be shown in the presence of Luis Moreno Ocampo, the first Chief Prosecutor of the ICC, and Herta Däubler Gmelin (former German Minister of Justice), followed by a live Q&A in Tübingen. Due to the events in Israel/Palestine, the directors continued filming after the world premiere at the Munich Film Festival and edited an the final version that sheds light on the role of the ICC in the current Gaza war.
WAR AND JUSTICE is a fascinating documentary that tells the 25-year history of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in its mission to end the most serious crimes against humanity. In recent years, the ICC has made a name for itself by issuing an arrest warrant against President Putin. On October 7, 2023, Hamas carries out a horrific massacre of Israeli civilians. Israel responds with the largest offensive on the Gaza Strip to date. ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan travels to the Middle East and announces that he will prosecute any kind of war crimes on both sides.
WAR AND JUSTICE focuses on Karim Khan, the current Chief Prosecutor, and Argentine lawyer Luis Moreno-Ocampo, who was appointed the ICC’s first Chief Prosecutor in 2003 and whose case against the junta in his country was the subject of the Oscar-nominated feature film “ARGENTINA: 1985“.

Let me explain something. Klaus Schwab is NOT retiring, nor is he leaving the WEF. Because of all the toxic hatred hurled at Schwab personally, he has only stepped down from the executive position. That is no different from the Chairman of a Board, who is also the CEO, steps down from only the CEO but retains the Chairmanship to which the new CEO is subordinate. You are NOT getting rid of Schwab so easily.

Merrick Garland, Attorney General, is truly a national disgrace. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a suit against Oklahoma today over a state law that seeks to impose criminal penalties on those living in the state illegally. The law makes illegal aliens subject to two years in prison for living in the state without legal immigration status. Garland is trying to make sure illegal aliens are here for the 2024 election so they can continue their coup and deprive the “rich,” whom they define as people with jobs. They claim they they will not raise taxes on income of $400,000 or less, but they fail to define their definition that this is HOUSEHOLD income. If you have two children still living at home and all four of you combined exceed $400,000, you are the hated rich whom the Democrats want to exploit all for people who produce nothing and want a free ride.
Similar laws passed in Texas and Iowa are already facing challenges from Garland, who has the audacity to tell Congress that ISs are not necessary for voting. Oklahoma is among several states trying to protect their own people against this invasion that at no time in history has ANY president sought to rig the election with illegal aliens. We are rapidly witnessing the very reason why the United States will break up. Similar circumstances took place in the Roman Empire, where Emperor Valens opened the border to illegal aliens and destroyed the economy. They eventually rose up against the government, demanding more, and Emperor Valens was then killed in battle by the very people he allowed in.
Other bills targeting migrants have been passed this year in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee. Garland claims that this Oklahoma law violates the U.S. Constitution and asks the court to declare it invalid and bar the state from enforcing it.
“Oklahoma cannot disregard the U.S. Constitution and settled Supreme Court precedent,” U.S. Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division, said in a statement. “We have brought this action to ensure that Oklahoma adheres to the Constitution and the framework adopted by Congress for regulation of immigration.”
New Report – The Migrant Crisis
This includes the Disease Cycle and
How We Should Expect Disease to Spread as it always does with Migrations throughout history
Because this is a real international crisis, I have put together this report, which is a warning to the West that this migrant crisis is part of the decline and fall of Western society, as it was the same mistake for Rome. In fact, it was the invasion of the Goths that changed Roman society, and even our word today for “god” was derived from barbarians, not Romans. Most interesting, this invasion of the Goths was so profound that to this day, our English word “god” is derived from the Proto-Germanic version of gudą, which is derived from the Goths’ Germanic language, “guþ.” So, the next time you pray to “God,” remember that was a barbarian word – not Roman, which was “Deus” – the Latin word for “god” or “deity”.
