"In 1973, a Frenchman named Jean Raspail wrote a bitter and paranoid novel about the "invasion" of his native land by starving Third World refugees."
Interesting. An exceptionally accurate prognostication is deemed "paranoid". Meanwhile, apocolyptic auguries authored at about the same time -- such as The Population Bomb are still being called visionary. (Nothing at all paranoid about predicting mass famines that never took place.)
