On Oct. 31, the U.N. Population Fund marks
the arrival of the 7 billionth person on Earth and raises the population
estimate for the planet at mid-century to 9.3 billion people.
There is a possibility, says the United
Nations, that, by century’s end, world population may reach 15 billion. What
does this mean for Western civilization?
It may not matter, except to identify who
inherits the estate. For while world population is exploding, Western peoples
are dying. Not a single European nation, except Muslim Albania, has a birth
rate that will enable it to replace its present population.
By mid-century, Western man will be down
to 12 percent of world population. By century’s end, he will be a tiny
fraction, roughly equal to the white population of Rhodesia when Robert Mugabe
came to power.
The demographic winter of the West has set
in.
Between now and 2050, Russia, a nation of
roughly 140 million, down from nearly 150 million at the breakup of the Soviet
Union, is on schedule to lose an additional 24 million people.
“Hypermortality” is a word demographers
use in discussing Russia.
Germany is to lose 8 million of her 82
million people. Ukraine has lost 6 million people since liberation in 1991 and
will lose another 10 million by 2050. The population of Lithuania, Latvia and
Estonia, 8 million in 1990, will by mid-century have fallen by 30 percent to
5.7 million.
Britain, however, is to add 12 million.
But since emigration from Britain is bleeding the population and the birth rate
of her native-born has been below zero population growth for 35 years, the U.N.
has to be factoring in immigration from the old colonies in the Caribbean, the
Middle East, the sub-Sahara and South Asia.
With the median age of European nations
rising toward 50 and above, and a growing share of the population over 65, the
continent is going to need millions of young immigrants to maintain the labor
force and cope with seniors and elderly in retirement centers, assisted living
facilities and nursing homes.
Where will they come from? Continents and
countries with population surges and surpluses.
By 2050, Africa’s population will double
from 1 billion to 2 billion people. Where today the six most populous Islamic
nations — Indonesia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria and Turkey — have a
combined population of 885 million, by 2050 their populations will have
increased by 475 million to 1.36 billion. Of the 48 fastest-growing countries
in the world, 28 are majority Muslim or have Muslim populations of more than
one-third of the national population.
And since it is the Muslim nations of
North Africa and the Middle East that are closest to Europe, with easiest
access to the continent, Muslims will likely furnish most of the multitudes who
are coming.
What will this mean for Europe? Religious
and racial conflict.
On Sept. 11, 2001, after the twin towers
fell and Germany expressed her anguish and solidarity with America, a strange
event occurred. In the Turkish districts of Berlin, bottle rockets were fired
all night in celebration.
In the banlieues around Paris and other
French cities, Arab riots, assaults on police and mass arson of vehicles
regularly occur. This summer in London, the immigrant enclaves exploded and
poured out into the city night after night.
Angela Merkel of Germany, seconded by
David Cameron of Britain and Nicolas Sarkozy of France, declared
multiculturalism had “utterly failed.”
What is the future of Europe? What is the
future of Western man? Houari Boumedienne, Algerian revolutionary and president
of his country, predicted it at the United Nations in 1975.
“One day, millions of men will leave the
Southern Hemisphere of this planet to burst into the Northern one. But not as
friends. Because they will come in to conquer, and they will conquer by populating
it with their children. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women.”
Boumedienne’s words were spoken just as
European and Western birth rates plunged below ZPG.
What, then, is the future?
A Russia with not one-tenth China’s
population will not hold on to a continental nation twice China’s size. Already
the Russian Far East is being invaded by Chinese crossing the Amur and Ussuri
rivers to work, even as Mexicans cross the Rio Grande to reoccupy lands torn
away from their ancestors in 1836 and 1848.
What is the future of the West?
China will retrieve all the lands lost to
Russia in the 19th century and slices of Russia that China never owned.
Mexicans and Hispanics will dominate from the Floridas to the American
Southwest the lands Spain and Mexico lost to the United States in the 19th
century.
Africans, whose lands were colonized and
exploited by Europeans, and Muslims and Arabs, whose ancestors were turned back
at Poitiers and Vienna, will succeed in the final conquest of Europe.
Demography
is destiny.
