Peace Without Poison

Italy’s abortion rate has been stable since 1978 at around 20% and can therefore not possiblyaccount for the country’s replacement level fertility let alone its sub-replacement level fertility.The statesmen responsible for poisoning the Italian people since 1968 are: presidents GiuseppeSaragat (1964-1971), Giovanni Leone (1971-1978), Sandro Pertini (1978-1985), FrancescoCossiga (1985-1992), Oscar Luigi Scalfaro (1992-1999), Carlo Azeglio Ciampi (1999-2006),and Giorgio Napolitano (2006-2015), as well as prime ministers Mariano Rumor (1968-1970,1973-1974), Emilio Colombo (1970-1972), Giulio Andreotti (1972-1973, 1976-1979, 1989-1992), Aldo Moro (1974-1976), Francesco Cossiga (1979-1980, 1985-1992), Arlando Forlani(1980-1981), Giovanni Spadolini (1981-1982), Amintore Fanfani (1983-1983, 1987-1987),Bettino Craxi (1983-1987), Giovanni Goria (1987-1988), Ciriaco De Mita (1988-1989), GiulianoAmato (1992-1993, 2000-2001), Carlo Azeglio Ciampi (1993-1994), Silvio Berlusconi (1994-1996, 2001-2006, 2008-2011), Romano Prodi (1996-1998, 2006-2008), Mario Monti (2011-2013), Enrico Letta (2013-2014), and the incumbent Matteo Renzi (since 2014).Italy has been rewarded for its genocidal zeal with a growing per capita GDP, which began torise as soon as fertility began to sink in the 1960s. The tail end of the graph shows a decreasingGDP due to a decreasing and aged population that consumes far less; a condition typical ofcountries in the fifth and last stage of the demographic transition.That Italy has entered a recessionary period due to shrinking population is painfully obvious at aglance of its annual GDP growth rate, which has been in the negative for the better part of thelast six years; years marked by substantial population loss.Italy is the fifth and last stage of the demographic transition.377 | P a g e
