The 2011 preface to the prescient novel "The Camp of the Saints" describes how the idea came to author Jean Raspail in 1972. The dystopian fiction was published in 1973. The book describes the destruction of Western civilization as France is overwhelmed with millions upon millions of illegal migrants, no-go zones, insurrectionists and criminals from the Middle East, Africa and India.
Raspail was staying at a Mediterranean villa with an ocean view.
"From the library where I was working, all you saw for 180 degrees was the endless expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, such that one morning, my gaze lost in the distance, I said to myself, “What if they came?” I didn’t know who these they were, but to me, it seemed bound to happen that the inevitable poor from the south, in the manner of a tidal wave, were one day going to set out for this opulent shore, the open border of our blessed lands. That’s how it all got started."
Christian Britain has been gone a long time. But the Crown finally held a funeral, bestowing King Charles, earlier "The Defender of the Faith," a new royal title: “Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”
A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.
“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
