You may also mean bankers and arms makers who has influenced political decision making in ugly forms for quite a long but blaming them as part of some conspiracy is as dumb as blaming communists if your son is an addict, daughter is pregnant at 14 yo and both aren’t visiting church. You have to first look at the mirror and then think how different your parents were to find the problem. That is a main reason for demoralization. Act moral and make your kids this way.

Um, in the context it [demoralize] is about morale... not, directly, morals.
de·mor·al·ize
verb (used with object), de·mor·al·ized, de·mor·al·iz·ing.
1. to deprive (a person or persons) of spirit, courage, discipline, etc.; destroy the morale of: The continuous barrage demoralized the infantry.
2. to throw (a person) into disorder or confusion; bewilder: We were so demoralized by that one wrong turn that we were lost for hours.
3. to corrupt or undermine the morals of.

That said, yes there is a lot of moral training/correction/discipline needed, but "going to church" isn't the answer, [us] being the church is.

The NWO is of course going to happen, otherwise Revelation is wrong (though it might not be a government [or religion] as we view it). The point is that the whole world is going to be arrayed against Jesus and try to fight Him... and they lose.

To be honest morals and morale aren’t that disconnected. People of high morale are usually moral and people of low morale just opposite.
These words are same-root for a reason.
