I read The Camp of the Saints: I'm speechless
YouTube ^ | 05/11/2026 | Joomi Kim

In this video, I review The Camp of the Saints by Jean Raspail, and talk about how I was blown away by how prophetic it was. I was especially shocked at how it predicted so many specific things back in 1973.

Another guy who who worked for mass deportation at Homeland Security resigned today.

I don’t think mass deportation will happen anymore. The US is going to be flooded with these people eventually and the ones already here will get amnesty by those creeps in DC.

See my post #20. They should have listened to Powell. The American version of Powell was Larry Auster. His The Path to National Suicide: An essay on Immigration and Multiculturalism is a must read.

I just re-read it. What I found interesting was how you could almost put current media and political figures’ faces on the characters.

Jooni has a great take. I check it out and also watch more of her videos!

I know the journey’s likely a kind of allegory, but that kind of detail turns me off on many a story and movie.

I’ll pass. the story is implausible.

It asks the reader to believe:

a million people survive a multi‑week ocean voyage

on derelict ships, around the Cape of Good Hope.

with no fuel

no water

no food

no sanitation

no disease

no navigation

no storms

no mechanical failures

no mutiny

no mass death

and then walk inland without calories

and no at-sea opposition to their journey.

“The signs were there in 1950s after the end of WWII. We needed more outspoken people like Joseph McCarthy to speak out against Marxism.”

I think what drove this book was the fact that the ‘guest workers’ in France, after WW2 (when their male population had been wiped out by both WW2 and especially WW1) NEVER went back home, but instead imported their wives...and then, of course, had kids. He saw it coming, DECADES before, probably, any of us (my wake-up date was 2005, although the East Germans did warn us in 1989 or so, just before the wall fell).

There was a silver lining to being behind the Iron Curtain.

“I have read the “migrants” were originally to be from AFRICA but the publisher thought it would be too “racist” so they were changed from Africans to Indians.”

The version that I have (being a right-wing extremist, of course I have the book), says that Jean was thinking of Muslims, but knew not to use them, as that would have given the Leftists the angle they needed to attack and drive him out of the political arena. But India worked out PERFECTLY, anyway.

It was mentioned in CHRONICLES journal about 25 years ago. I read it then and thought it prescient.

I recommend having a hard copy, as a hard drive could bite the dust and amazon can probably kill your kindle copy.

I’m listening to it on audio books & I also downloaded the free book. The author was so prescient, just like Orwell.

One of the most amazing parts of this book is how the author precisely describes the insidious, leftist press; its methods and agendas. It matches exactly to the current West-hating, leftist/globalist "news" media's drift.

I highly recommend this book. Raspail nailed the whole "Great Replacement" show that's currently avalanching through the West. The book's so prescient - down to small details - you'll wonder if Raspail time travelled to 2026 to write it.
