10. Healthy Families
Strengthening Families, the Heart of Sovereign Communities and True Freedom.
“Family is not an important thing. It's everything.”—Michael J. Fox
This is one of a series of articles about ParaGov, what it stands for, and how it can create freedom for you, your family, and your community. ParaGov promotes a more evolved form of self-governance through decentralized communities that are based on voluntary transactions.

“The native birth rate across Western countries is tanking. In the U.S., the fertility rate is 1.6 children per woman — well below the 2.1 needed for replacement. Meanwhile, migrant families, on average, have 3 to 5 children, and in some communities, far more. That’s not just growth. That’s a takeover on a timer.”—Ivana of Lady Liberty
Why is this happening?
Accept it or not, it is important to understand there has been a lengthy war against the traditional Western family unit. Western governments warned us the world was overpopulated and people should stop having babies. To ensure their message was followed, they promoted abortion through sophisticated propaganda campaigns. Think of Planned Parenthood, created specifically to abort, and take in how they corrupt the very meaning of words.
With abortion widespread and embraced by the unsuspecting public, governments are now promoting euthanasia to get rid of the old and the infirm. Devious propaganda campaigns use guilt to persuade both the old and the infirm to do the honourable thing, and kill themselves with government assistance. In Canada, this is highlighted by the acronym: MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying).
Sounds wonderful. Doesn’t it?
It’s almost as if Western governments are members of a death cult
Despite their promotion of abortion and euthanasia, governments ironically maintain social programs that actively encourage single mothers to have multiple children. But only if they are single. This has led to a massive increase in single parents with absent fathers, a guaranteed solution for social chaos.
The same politicians that promoted abortion, are now complaining that the West has far too few babies. Their gaslighting answer is to actively encourage migration of mainly single, military-aged men, to make up the shortfall.
This is a classic example of the Hegelian Dialectic..
Create the problem: create fear of overpopulation,
Media campaigns to highlight the problem: overpopulation, finite resources, starving third world population, so
People will demand the government’s solution: abortion, euthanasia, and immigration from the third world.
So why are governments so focused on promoting single parenting?
Why are they discouraging families from having children?
The answer is threefold…
There is “The Depopulation Agenda;”
Combined with “The Population Replacement Agenda.”
These two can be accomplished without addressing families.
Lastly, and most important to the subject of families, governments and families compete with each other for their share of children’s minds. Governments want to influence children at school so they are easier to govern as adults. On the other hand, the influence of families over their children impedes the government’s efforts to indoctrinate.
Governments also want their citizens dependent upon their good graces. Through Digital ID and programmable Central Bank Digital Currencies, and through Global Public Private Partnerships, also known as Fascism, the West is moving at speed towards from a world of “Rights” to a world of “Privileges” managed by “Technocrats” that has successfully been tested in China: “The Social Credit System.”
Healthy families (mental, physical, and spiritual) are the cornerstone of both individual well-being and strong communities. They promote moral and ethical values, and support individual members of the family. Families provide emotional, financial, and social stability. They foster resilience in individuals, while at the same time, they anchor communities in shared purpose.
This is why birds-of-a-feather flock together
Instead of shipping off older people to old age homes, multi-generational families, amplify the benefits of family. By looking after the children, grandparents free up time for parents to do other duties. Unfortunately, the West’s focus on “hyper-individualism,” which is the antithesis of multi-generational families, erodes bonds, weakening both families and communities.
At the individual level, families provide a psychological safety net to allow personal growth and development. Parents and grandparents nurture children’s physical, emotional and sometimes financial needs, while siblings offer companionship that build empathy and cooperation.
In multi-generational families, grandparents contribute wisdom, practical skills, historical perspectives, act as caregivers or mediators, and provide a sense of identity and continuity. They help deepen familial ties. This intergenerational exchange ingrains values that are reinforced through daily interactions, and help shape individuals into responsible, community-oriented citizens.
Healthy families contribute significantly to communities by instilling values that translate into societal contributions, such as volunteering, civic engagement, and supporting local institutions. These acts strengthen community bonds and trust.
However, the rise of hyper-individualism, generally the result of unhealthy families—where personal ambitions and independence overshadow family obligations—threatens these dynamics. When individuals prioritize their own desires, such as relocating far from family for career opportunities, the family unit weakens. Multi-generational families, which thrive on interdependence, suffer most acutely.
This focus on individual lives undermines the strength that families derive from shared purpose
When family members prioritize their personal goals, families may drift apart. This not only diminishes the family’s role in the community, it also leaves individuals more vulnerable to isolation and societal pressures. In contrast, families that balance individual aspirations with family responsibilities—through regular gatherings, shared decision-making, or caregiving—maintain their strength and amplify their community impact.
With this in mind, we should attempt to focus on developing and maintaining healthy families, especially multi-generational ones, because they are vital for supporting sovereign individuals. This enriches communities through shared values and contributions. We should also avoid the pursuit of overly independent lives that fracture family bonds, and diminish the family’s capacity to nurture its members.
Because healthy families are the cornerstone of strong communities, they should be encouraged at all levels of the community
While healthy families have existed for thousands of years, and contributed to civilization, the corrupting influence of governments, and the people that control them, has been to undermine the family unit.
Understanding the problem and the threats families face, and being diligent about overcoming them, will result in strong local communities that actively decentralize power. In this way, sovereign individuals, their families, and their communities can create “Parallel Self-Governance” communities backed up by a Sovereign Individual’s Constitution and a Social Contract.
In my next article, I’ll explain how Decentralized Communities are critical to transferring power “We the People.”
