The way our world ends
By Patrick J. Buchanan
May 2, 2008
“This is the way the world ends/Not with a bang but a whimper,” wrote
T.S. Eliot in the closing couplet of “The Hollow Men.”
Eliot’s poem was written after the Great War of 1914-1918 had carried
off 9 million soldiers, wounded twice as many more, brought down the
Romanov, Hohenzollern and Habsburg empires, and ushered onto the world
stage Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini and, soon, Adolf Hitler.
Readers have ascribed various meanings to Eliot’s words. One college
professor of English suggested Eliot was looking back to the “whimper”
in the cradle in Bethlehem that signaled the end of the old world, the
Pax Romana, and the coming of the new Christian age.
Some saw it as the whimper of a man facing the executioner’s axe.
Others say Eliot was referring to the middle-aged protagonist of “The
Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” who had “measured out my life with
coffee spoons” and soon would “wear the bottoms of my trousers
rolled.”
Recent reports suggest God has another end in store for us.
An Augusta, Ga., group, The National Policy Institute, has meshed the
figures on fertility rates with the continents and races on Planet
Earth — to visualize what the world will look like in 2060.
In 1950, whites were 28 percent of world population and Africans 9
percent, a ratio of three-to-one. In 2060, the ratio will remain the
same. But the colors will be reversed. People of African ancestry will
be 25 percent of the world’s population. People of European descent
will have fallen to 9.8 percent.
More arresting is that the white population is shrinking not only in
relative but in real terms. Two hundred million white people, one in
every six on earth — a number equal to the entire population of
France, Britain, Holland and Germany — will vanish by 2060.
The Caucasian race is going the way of the Mohicans.
Arabic peoples, 94 million at the birth of Israel in 1948, outnumbered
seven to one by Europeans, will rise to 743 million in 2060, a tenfold
increase, and will be 75 percent of the white population.
Fleshing out the NPI picture is the U.N. population survey of mid-2007
that points to the 21st century disappearance of Western Man.
By 2050, a fourth of all the people of Eastern Europe will have
vanished. Ukraine will lose one-third of its population. Russia, 150
million at the breakup of the Soviet Union, 142 million today, will be
down to 108 million. Such losses dwarf what Hitler and Stalin together
did to these countries.
CIA Director Michael Hayden said this week that Russia will have to
import workers from the Caucasus, Central Asia and China, exacerbating
already serious racial and religious tensions in a nation with
thousands of nuclear weapons.
With Russians east of the Urals outnumbered 100 to one by the Chinese,
there is little doubt who will control the oil, gas, gold and timber
of Siberia and be staring hungrily across the Bering Strait at Alaska.
By 2050, Iran’s population will have risen from today’s 71 million to
100 million. Pakistan will add 84 million to reach almost 300 million,
the U.S. population today. Afghanistan’s population will triple from
27 million to 79 million. Iraq’s will go from 29 million to 62
million. The destinies of these nations will be beyond the capacity of
an aging, dwindling, dying West to dictate.
The U.N. statistics, however, show the populations of Northern,
Western and Southern Europe stabilizing or falling only slightly.
How can this be when only Iceland and Albania have fertility rates —
2.1 children per woman — that can stop population declines, and all
the rest have birthrates that would put bears, birds and wolves on the
endangered species list?
Answer: Western Europe’s populations are being sustained by immigrants
from the Maghreb and Middle East, Asia and Africa — and the baby boom
among these black and brown peoples is lifting and changing the face
of the Old Continent forever. Islam is returning to Iberia, Italy and
the Balkans. The Third World is coming to colonize the mother
countries.
And America? According to the Pew Research Center, the Hispanic
population of the United States will triple to 127 million by 2050, as
Mexico’s population grows to 130 million. An erasure of the U.S.
border, or merger of the two countries, or the linguistic, cultural
and social annexation of the American Southwest by Mexico appears
fated.
Yet, last October, in another Pew poll of 45,000 people in 47
countries, a majority in 46 expressed fear of a loss of their
traditional culture.
Sixty-two percent of Americans told Pew we should do more to protect
our way of life. Three-fourths of Americans wanted more restrictions
on immigration. Yet all three presidential candidates voted amnesty
for the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens.
Hopefully, the peoples of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, who are
about to inherit the earth as we pass away, will treat us better than
our ancestors treated them in the five centuries that Western Man
ruled the world.
Otherwise, we all go out with a bang.
