THE WEST WIND

A periodic journal dedicated to Schlegel's view of a united Western Culture (Europa) and a united Christian, Orthodox, Apostolic Church. The author will quote sources when not detractory, but many of his historical observations are not original and derive from Baron Ledhin, Rosenstock-Huessy, Oswald Spengler, and other German thinkers. Among planned titles include: Axum (First Christian kingdom), Jane Austen and Anglican Orthodoxy in Blessed Britain, and The Russian Genius for Suffering.

Europe's Population Decline

http://www.welt.de/data/2006/03/15/860324.html
According to this article (if I read in my terrible German correctly), Germany will have the lowest birthrate in the world outside of the Vatican City, in the next few decades, and the lowest in its recorded history since 1945.
"With terrible consequences to the Economy and the Rent-System..."
You think so?
Maybe also the Islamic immigration may factor in to make this...the Perfect Storm.

Spengler for the Asia Times Online writes more eloquently than I.

Note the decline in Eastern Europe; I assume Western Germany will not be far behind.
