Italy on the road to self-extinction as demographic disaster looms

Italy’s demographic decline is only accelerating, which is setting the country on course for an existential disaster.

The head of the Italian Episcopate, Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, commenting on statistical data and forecasts for the future, said, “Now that the worst of the pandemic is over in Italy, we are rightly talking about a rebirth. But without children there can be no rebirth and no future for our country.” 

Until recently, the main cause of the fact that the numbers of births were falling year-on-year was the existence of a 50-year demographic trend which led to a reduction in the number of women of reproductive age.

However, the International Research Centre on the Family has recently issued a report that the demographic crisis is also caused by changing attitudes, reports Polish news portal pch24.pl.

According to the research, only 13 percent of men and 25 percent of women in the 25-34 age bracket want to have a family with children in Italy.

Another 40 percent declare that they do not ever want to have kids. This data may seem shocking, but experts were predicting such a scenario 30 years ago. Still, no programs to protect the family were instituted despite the warning signs.

Cardinal Bassetti believes that this is because in Italy, children are not viewed as enriching the parents or society but rather a cause of impoverishment, a barrier to a career, or a source of fear.

He feels that the family has been forgotten in Italian politics, with family benefits below the European average. He says the government has dohne little to encourage parents to have more children.

Italy’s population is shrinking every year. In 2019, the country’s national statistic agency, ISTAT, stated that the gap between births and deaths was growing wider, pointing out that there were only 67 newborns last year for every 100 people who died. Ten years ago, the country saw 96 births for every 100 deaths. 

According to Reuters, many of the births that are taking place in Italy are doing to migrants deciding to have children, a trend seen in other countries such as Germany that have experienced falling populations.

Recently, the country’s left-wing government granted a mass amnesty to 600,000 illegal migrants, which will also make them eligible for childcare benefits and medical care, all of which represent a new taxpayer burden for Italians amidst the coronavirus crisis.

The Italian fertility rate is already one of the lowest in Europe at 1.34 in 2019, but when migrants are factored in, the native Italian populations’ rate is even lower.

A study from Max Planck Institute of Demographic Research wrote:

“Overall, the fertility rate of Italian immigrants (2.61) was almost double the rate of native Italians (1.26) in 2004 (Istat, 2006). Regionally, the greatest differences are visible in the north-west of the country. In 2004 the share of children born to at least one foreign-born parent in Italy had risen to 11.75 percent (Istat, 2006).”

According to the Cardinal, the overall demographic decline experienced in Italy is not inevitable.

He points to the experience of Arezzo where he was a local bishop for 10 years. There, the local authorities have had a program for the family and births rose by six percent.

Now, similar pro-family policies need to be introduced throughout the country, or Italy could be headed for self-extinction.

The Imam started the Friday prayer in the Hagia Sophia with a sword on which the conquest surah is engraved

The Imam started the Friday prayer in the Hagia Sophia with a sword on which the conquest surah is engraved.
In our civilization no one is happy about “prey”. At least it is bad manners.
Because such a prey is regularly not earned/acquired by legal means, but the result of a criminal act, in case of doubt also by the use of violence. 1453. 1914-1923. 1955. 1974. 2020.
An “administrative court” decision should not hide this fact, above all when you have those, which express precisely their ” delight “, more precisely their sense of triumph, hate, superiority and pride,
to classify them.

Swedish broadcaster TV4 edits interview to hide immigrant knife violence

On July 20, Swedish TV4 interviewed criminologist Tage Alalehto, who in the segment says that one explanation for the increased number of stabbings in the country could be “ethnic, xenophobic moods”. But that was not really what he had said on camera.

When conservative weekly Nya Tider approached Alhalehto, however, he said that he also said that it was immigrant gang criminals, ethnic non-Swedes who are clearly over-represented in the increasing knife violence data, something that TV4 chose to edit out of their report.

“They [TV4] have cut and pasted and taken things out of context and put it together into something that fits a pre-established context and agenda,” he explained.

TV4’s newsroom has conducted a survey which showed that the number of people seeking care due to knife injuries has increased dramatically on year-by-year basis. The information is based on figures from the National Board of Health and Welfare’s patient register.

Knife violence in Sweden has increased for the seventh year in a row. In 2012, 624 people were injured in knife-related violence, in 2019 that number was 923. The number of victims injured in knife attacks is seven times higher than those injured in shootings.

Tage Alalehto is a criminologist at Umeå University. In a feature on TV4 on July 20, he appeared to be saying that a partial explanation could be “ethnic and xenophobic moods”. Anyone watching the feature is thus led to believe that the criminologist thinks that it was racism against immigrants that has been behind the violence.

However, that is not the case. When Nya Tider spoke to Tage Alalehto to find out what he really meant by “xenophobic moods”, it turns out that TV4 cut out the most important segment of what he had said.

“I said during the interview that the increasing knife violence is very much about gang crime and drug trafficking. When it comes to what I said about xenophobic sentiments on ethnic grounds, I mean that it is primarily gang criminals, ethnic non-Swedes who commit these crimes.”

He said the broadcasters cut and pasted and quoted his remarks “out of context and put it together into something that fits a pre-established context and agenda”.

Alalehto explained that ethnic Swedes were often the victims of criminal immigrants gangsters, including knife attacks. According to Alalehto, it may be about individual Swedes who try to invade the so-called territory of drug gangs, but it can also be about innocent people who are simply exposed to robberies where a knife is used as a weapon.

These situations take on an ethnic dimension because the gangsters usually want to “humiliate the victims in different ways and they [Swedes] are called ‘fucking slaves’ and so on”. So it is clearly not ethnic Swedes who are out on the town and walking around with a knife to stab immigrants because of some kind of xenophobic mood.

According to the criminologist, immigrants also bring their past conflicts and wars to Sweden. Tage Alalehto said that TV4 obviously had an agenda when they made the news item about increasing knife violence. Other major media outlets are also avoiding the truth, he added.

“I do not just want to point out TV4 for wanting narrow explanatory models or for ducking the truths that some journalists may find opinion-wise uncomfortable. SVT and several of the major media do the same.”

He agreed that TV4 and other mainstream media outlets often deal with issues on a subjective, ideological basis. “It is clear that it is so, and even among us criminologists there is a blissful mixture of subjective perceptions.”

WATCH: How the Syrian and Iraqi gang rapists celebrate the verdict in Freiburg, Germany

The proceedings about the gang rape of an 18-year-old girl have come to an end. Several defendants have been sentenced to prison for the rape. The main defendant is sentenced to five years and six months in prison. Some of them have been released. The reaction of the defendants – on video.Five defendants were given a prison sentence and two were sentenced to juvenile delinquency for repeatedly raping the young woman in October 2018. Other young men involved have been convicted of failing to offer aid, including Kosay A., who can be seen in the video above. The 18-year-old, who was a joint plaintiff in the trial, still has post-traumatic stress disorder and sleep problems, the judge said on Thursday.”The consequences of the crime are severe,” said the presiding judge of the Freiburg Regional Court, Stefan Bürgelin, at the sentencing on Thursday. The young woman was not able to take part in a second questioning in the trial, which has lasted over 43 trial days since June 2019. According to a medical certificate, she is still suffering from the crime, which had caused outrage far beyond Freiburg. To this day, she has been struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and sleeping problems.The trial of the defendants, mostly refugees from Syria and Iraq, lasted more than a year. They were between 18 and 30 years old at the time of the crime. The court heard numerous witnesses and experts and tried to determine the exact complicity of the defendants. Bürgelin described the course of events on the night of the crime with numerous rapes in a bush in detail once again.The 18-year-old girl had been taking ecstasy, alcohol and caffeine and was therefore not able to make and speak out an opposing opinion. She had lost all sense of time and no longer had the feeling of being in her own body. Bürgelin rejected the defendants’ statements that the sexual intercourse had been consensual, as a purely self-serving assertion. “In such a case, this is a standard statement that is not witty,” he said.Bürgelin accused the main defendant: “You set the ball rolling and took advantage of it.” He had lured her outside under the pretext of showing her his tattoos. After the first rape, the man had deliberately led the woman to the other perpetrators. “Therefore you deserve the highest punishment.”

Germany: Because an Egyptian in a fast food restaurant did not get the free food he asked for, he insulted, threatened and spat at the employee

Last Wednesday, a 36-year-old man repeatedly insulted, threatened and spat at an employee of a fast-food restaurant in the Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe train station.

What had happened?

Around 11 am the man entered the branch and demanded free food and drink. Since the employee did not comply with this demand, he was repeatedly insulted and threatened by the 36-year-old from Egypt. The homeless man was in a wheelchair and remained obtrusive. The whole culminated in an attempt to spit on the employee. Fortunately, this could be prevented by an installed protective screen.The 36-year-old was only calmed down when a patrol of the Kassel Federal Police arrived. The identity check showed that the man suffers from several contagious diseases. The homeless man is now facing criminal proceedings for insulting, threatening and attempted dangerous bodily harm. After the police measures, the man was released.

How much of Europe’s money goes to killers of Jews?

רינה שנרב הי"ד.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/284091

by Giulio Meotti

The Netherlands paid the salary of two terrorists implicated in the assassination of 17-year-old Israeli Rina Shnerb, killed a year ago (her brother Dvir was seriously injured) by a bomb while visiting the “Danny Spring”.Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok and Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Sigrid Kaag admitted it in the Hague. It is the first time that a European government has admitted that its funds, supposedly destined for charitable causes, have ended up fueling terrorism against Israel.

Samer Arbid, who was responsible for the attack on the Shnerb family, was an accountant at the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC). Last October, he was indicted on 21 counts as a commander of the PFLP terrorist cell which detonated the bomb that killed young and vivacious Rina Shnerb.

Abdul Razeq Farraj was the director of finance and administration of the UAWC and was charged for the aid he gave for perpetrating the attack. The two were not only members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a group called “terrorist” by the European Union and also featured on the payroll of the UAVC, to which the Netherlands has donated 20 million dollars in a period of seven years.

So the salaries of the two terrorists were covered by Dutch funds.

According to NGO Monitor, Italy and Spain are among the countries that donate funds to the UAWC. To remedy the scandal, the Hague has suspended donations to the UAWC. It wasn’t just about payments. In 2017, both the terrorists received a one-year pass from the Dutch representation in Ramallah with which they could identify themselves as employees of a partner organization of the Dutch representation. It is not the first similar case.

In 2018 it emerged that the Ma’an Center, which received Dutch grants, had hired a terrorist, Ahmad Abdallah Aladini, an employee who died in Gaza shortly thereafter.

It was what Eitan, Rina Schnerb’s father said when he appealed to the European Union to stop funding terrorists:

“How can it be that people who glorify death are active in human rights groups? How can it be that for years they have received millions of euros in aid from European nations? I have no doubt that European countries do not advocate terrorism or the murder of innocent people. But they certainly understand that the links between Palestinian civilian groups and terrorist organizations is a reality that must be condemned. I urge you not to close your eyes. Don’t be fooled. Don’t lend a hand, a grandstand or finance to these organizations”.

A year ago, an 80-page report by the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs, titled “Terrorists in Suits”, denounced the links between terrorist organizations such as Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and NGOs promoting the campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel, which is simply well-mannered terrorism.

And it also showed that some of these NGOs receive funding from European states. The report gave names and faces of thirty members of Hamas and PFLP who hold high-level positions in NGOs, often after serving prison terms for terrorist-related crimes, including assassination, and who maintain active links with terrorist groups.

At the time, the report was dismissed by some as an Israeli spin. With Holland’s admission of guilt, it cannot be ignored anymore. Now Europe must disclose how much of its money went to the killers of innocent Israeli girls such as Rina.

Special Ed Teacher Encourages BLM Thug to Kill White Baby

Even the worst moonbattery quickly gets worse still. The Black Lives Matter goon kneeling on the neck of a white 2-year-old for a photo op was appalling enough. Then we read this:

Brian Papin, a Special Education teacher at Cedar Grove High School in Atlanta, Georgia encouraged the Black Lives Matter supporter kneeling on a white baby’s neck in a viral photo to “lean into it until death.”

To quote this woke Teacher of Color,

“Again! Your doing it wrong! One knee on center of the back one on the neck and lean into it until death! You saw the video! Get it right or stop f***ing around!”

See a screenshot of his Facebook comment here.

Papin may be a product of his environment. Cedar Grove High School encourages athletes to show contempt for America and obeisance to Black Lives Matter by kneeling during the national anthem.

Germany: Turkish politicians as Erdogan’s agents of influence?

A bevy of politicians of Turkish origin in Germany have invariably openly appeared as propagandists for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his party the AKP. Are their careers supported by Ankara?

German newspaper Der Westen is currently reporting on the case of Eyüp Odabasi, a long-time local Green politician of the city of Bünde in North Rhine-Westphalia, who is no longer allowed to stand for the election because of his overt and obvious pro-Erdogan propaganda. The Greens had protested strongly against Odabasi’s Turkish nationalist statements.

Can Odabasi now start a second political career in Turkey as an AKP politician? Similar cases have already confirmed such a presumption.

In this context, Der Westen lists a number of Turkish politicians, mostly SPD and Green Party members, who, after their political career in Germany, were able to start a second political career in Turkey as loyal Erdogan supporters: Ozan Ceyhun, a long-time member of the European Parliament (1998-2004) for the Greens and then for the SPD, worked as an advisor to the Turkish government in Ankara. He also ran for a seat in the Turkish parliament – as a candidate of the Erdogan party, the AKP. Today he is Turkish ambassador in Vienna.

Similarly, Mustafa Erkan, former SPD member in the Lower Saxony parliament, also ran unsuccessfully for the AKP in Turkish parliamentary elections and is now an advisor to the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavusoglu.

What is particularly striking here, is that all the aforementioned Turkish politicians from the left-wing liberal parties SPD and the Greens, which call themselves “progressive”, easily switch to Erdogan’s ultra-conservative Islamic AKP.

German Foreign Ministry hires Islamist who defends Israel’s destruction

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Foreign Ministry has been plunged into a devastating new antisemitism scandal for the hiring of a radical Islamist who defends the annual Iranian regime-sponsored rally al-Quds Day calling for the obliteration of Israel.Andreas Görgen,the director of the Foreign Ministry’s department for culture and communication, welcomed the Islamist Nurhan Soykan on Monday on his Twitter feed, writing that Soykan will be on “our team Religion and Foreign Policy” at the Foreign Ministry.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Jerusalem Post that the “German government bemoans antisemitism then appoints secretary-general of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Nurhan Soykan, as a consultant for the Foreign Ministry’s Religion and Foreign Policy team. So she can promote more antisemitic al-Quds marches and justify hatred of Jewish state.”In her defense of the antisemitic al-Quds rally, Soykan told German radio station Deutschlandfunk in 2014 that opponents of Israeli politics “who want to show their anger sometimes” must be given the opportunity “to clear the air in the way of a demonstration.”German politicians and Jewish organizations have called for the al-Quds rally to be banned.The Post first revealed in April that Görgen sent out at least seven tweets in support of an alleged antisemitic academic, Achille Mbembe, who has trivialized the Holocaust and supported Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) activity against Israel.When asked about the criticism of Soykan, the Germany Foreign Ministry told the Post that “The Federal Foreign Office has been supplementing its classic foreign policy between states for many years with a foreign policy of societies, since 2016 specifically also in the field of religion and foreign policy. Over 80% of the world’s population profess a religion.”

The ministry added that it “wants to address the responsibility of religions for peace with religious communities worldwide” and “better understand their possible influence on society and politics, and strengthen their constructive potential. Ms. Soykan, like her Christian and Jewish colleague, will advise the Federal Foreign Office on questions of the responsibility of religious communities for peace. Ms. Soykan has represented associations and committees for many years that are dedicated to the topics of religion, understanding and integration.”Soykan represents the German Council of Muslims that serves as an umbrella organization for a spectrum of Sunni and Shi’ite associations and mosques, including radical antisemitic entities. Soykan is a zealous supporter of head coverings for women. She was born in Turkey and moved to Germany as a young child.Neo-Nazis, Iranian regime supporters, BDS activists, Hezbollah members, radical leftists and members of the Palestinian terrorist entity Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) participated in the al-Quds rally in Berlin that Soykan defended.A spokesperson for Merkel’s office defended German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas’s decision to hire Soykan. “We have nothing to add to the answer that you received from the Federal Foreign Office on this subject,” a spokesperson told the Post.
