Lebensraum Redux

From The Brussels Journal:

German police officers get a discount of 7 euros when they buy Femi-X, a herbal aphrodisiac for women which is sometimes refered to as the female equivalent of viagra. When the police officers buy a packet of 15 Femi-X pills they pay only 32 euros instead of 39. In addition they receive a free DVD with sex tips. Andreas Schuster, the police chief in Brandenburg, the province surrounding Berlin, told Bild Zeitung that Germany needs more children and the police want to set a good example. “We all want more children. The Brandenburg Police is prepared to do its duty. Perhaps this pill will be helpful in this regard.”

What is it with Germany and breeding programs anyway?

There is a serious side to this:

Germany’s fertility rate is no longer sufficient to sustain its population. The number of elderly Germans (over 65 years old) is expected to rise from 17.5% of the population today to 27.9% by 2050.

Germany has another demographic problem. In 2004, for the first time in recent history, the number of Germans leaving their country was greater than the number of immigrants moving in. There were 145,000 German emigrants and 128,000 immigrants. Most of the emigrants leave for the United States. One couple who moved to Florida told Die Welt: “Here our children have a future in which they will not have to fear unemployment and social decline.” Perhaps moving to America will be a better fertility boost for young couples than using Femi-X. The best aphrodisiac may be to leave the welfare state.

This is not unique to Germany. All of Western Europe is experiencing flat or negative birth rates among its native population. Their cradle-to-grave welfare state policies have imposed a heavy burden upon their economies at the best of times. With a rapidly aging population which will need more, and more expensive, care they are facing a crisis.

They have elected to attempt to solve that crisis by importing younger workers, primarily Muslims from North Africa. This has had limited success as many of these Islamic immigrants go on welfare as soon as they arrive. They are taught by their religious leaders to consider the public dole as a form of the jizra. Jizra was the poll tax which conquered people paid to buy back their lives from their Muslim masters.

The problem of Muslim immigration and failure to assimilate grows worse every year. Before 2050 most nations in Europe will be majority Muslim. At that point there will be nothing to prevent the European Union from turning into the European Caliphate under strict Sharia law.

There is an ancient Chinese curse which says, “May you live in interesting times”. With what is going on in the Middle East our times are certainly interesting, but it would seem that our children and grandchildren’s times will be downright fascinating.
