   Is Europe Choosing to Disappear?   
      
      
   A sterile Europe apparently thought that civil liberties could be bargained   
   away in exchange for a temporary peace. Everything became negotiable.   
      
   As British author Douglas Murray has asked, why were workers not brought in   
   from European countries suffering high unemployment, such as Portugal, Italy,   
   Greece or Spain?   
      
   A clear-eyed U.S. Congressman, Rep. Steve King, correctly said recently that,   
   "You cannot rebuild your civilization with somebody else's babies." He   
   instantly drew that white-hot fire reserved for people who tell truths that   
   threaten treasured fantasies (   
   think Giordano Bruno or Galileo).   
      
   The new data released by Italy's National Institute for Statistics for 2016   
   sounds again like a death knell. There has been a new negative record of   
   births: 474,000 compared to 486,000 for 2015, which had already fallen to   
   historic lows. There were 608,   
   000 deaths in 2016. In one year, Italy lost 134,000 people -- the equivalent   
   of a city of the size of Ferrara or Salerno.   
      
   The demographic "illusion" is kept only by the influx of immigration   
   (135,000). If one needs an idea of what Italy would be without immigrants,   
   look at Emilia-Romagna, one of Italy's most populated and affluent regions: in   
   2035 it will have 20% fewer    
   residents.
