This Stunningly Racist French Novel Is How Steve Bannon Explains The World ("Camp of the Saints")
Huffington Post ^ | 3-4-2017 | Paul Blumenthal

Posted on 03/05/2017 7:45:38 AM PST by brucedickinson

Stephen Bannon, President Donald Trump’s chief strategist and the driving force behind the administration’s controversial ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, has a favorite metaphor he uses to describe the largest refugee crisis in human history.

“It’s been almost a Camp of the Saints-type invasion into Central and then Western and Northern Europe,” he said in October 2015.

“The whole thing in Europe is all about immigration,” he said in January 2016. “It’s a global issue today — this kind of global Camp of the Saints.”

“It’s not a migration,” he said later that January. “It’s really an invasion. I call it the Camp of the Saints.”

“When we first started talking about this a year ago,” he said in April 2016, “we called it the Camp of the Saints. ... I mean, this is Camp of the Saints, isn’t it

What exactly makes the novel racist? Because it depicts the migrants destroying Western Civilization?

This is the most chilling and accurate prophetic novel I ever read.

Bannon is 100% right to believe it, and it’s happening now, JUST as Raspail predicted.

The liberals are always running book programs, they speak about book-burnings and knowledge is power and all that, but it’s all about the “right” books. Mr. Blumenthal, who wrote this article- I’d like to take a gander at HIS bookshelf. Oy Vey!

Some people can’t deal with the truth. The snowflakes at Huff Po are like that.

I read it. Everything in it is coming true.

Truth to Lefties is like a crucifix to a vampire.

That’s why they think there are 47 different “genders.”

“It’s not a migration,” he said later that January. “It’s really an invasion.

Haven't read it, but that is an obvious statement. We have to prevent it from happening here. Islam is evil and needs to be eradicated.

Well, inasmuch as “racist” has no fixed meaning, I suppose Camp of the Saints could be called that.

And, by the way, the migrant invasion in the novel is NOT “to destroy Western civilization”.

That is the result. The migrants just want free sh*t like we all have, every day.

I read a critic’s review of CAMP OF THE SAINTS about forty years ago. I thought “This will never happen!”
Well, It’s happening.

The Have Nots are invading the world of the Haves.

This is not going to end well for the west.

Oddly enough this was predicted almost 44 years ago in a 1973 novel by French author Jean Raspail entitled "The Camp of the Saints" (Le Camp des Saints).

(Comments in quotes are from Wikipedia)

"William F. Buckley, Jr. praised the book in 2004 as "a great novel" which raised questions on how to respond to massive illegal immigration."

"The novel depicts a setting wherein Third World mass immigration to France and the West leads to the destruction of Western civilization.
Almost forty years after publication the book returned to the bestseller list in 2011."

"Although the novel focuses on France, the rest of the West shares its fate."

Weak willed whites in the west do not have the backbone to stand up to the invasion and so they seal their own fate.

"Near the end of the story the mayor of New York City is made to share Gracie Mansion with three families from Harlem,
the Queen of the United Kingdom must agree to have her son marry a Pakistani woman,
and only one drunken Soviet soldier stands in the way of thousands of Chinese people as they swarm into Siberia."

Doesn't the statement below about Switzerland sound eerily familiar to the group pressure tactics we currently see from liberals and Globalists?

Think of how they pressure colleges, businesses,, even the UN to turn against Israel.

Think of how they pressure businesses and organizations to turn against President Trump and his entire family.

"The one holdout until the end of the novel is Switzerland,
but by then international pressure isolating it as a rogue state for not opening its borders forces it to capitulate."

The English translation of the book is available new or used at internet book stores, eBay, etc. but hard to find and fairly expensive.
