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

I’d like to take a gander at HIS bookshelf. Oy Vey!

More likely his E-book list. Those darned libs always have their faces buried in a device of some sort (as do many of our own, which makes it harder to ID the potential enemy).

" “re-frames everything as the fight to death between races.”

Not between races but between religions as it has been for a long, long, long time....

I read it in 1977. My friend, a Lebanese-American graduate student raved about so much I borrowed his copy. At the that time it seemed like science fiction, a plausible premise stretched to an impassable conclusion. Ever since then, implausible events have unfolded in such a way as to have made the book prophetic. Life is full of surprises.

The Have Nots are invading the world of the Haves.

The question that needs to be asked and (honestly) answered is Why do the haves, have? Why do the have nots, not?

That'll be a media firestorm...< /sarc >

Never seen that cover before. In any case, it is not about race but about Western civilization's inability to respond to invasion from the Third World. Covers I have seen:

Good for knowing which windows are possible sniper nests, and get the first round of incendiary projectiles.

Wow...in my daily Bible reading today, I came across the citation from which the author got the phrase "Camp of the Saints". It's from the King James Version of Revelation 20.

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


I guess that would make the Bible "Stunningly Racist" as well?

It is not whites against colors. It is the Judeo Christian Greek Roman Western Civilization against its destructive invaders.

Europeans, who are mostly white, adopted and developed the Western tradition and founded our country as its crowning glory. All the advances in Medicine, science, technology etc. are the result of the Western mind.

But it is only accidentally white people who accepted this patrimony.

To the extent other races have adopted the Western culture, they too flourish.

The fight is for the West. Not for Whites. The people of color and ignorant whites who reject the West will not flourish.

With the literal flood of illegals across our southern border, the US has undergone the largest land invasion in history, and now Europe is undergoing the same type of invasion.

We have an expert on Africa in our family. He says that 80% of Sub-Saharin African men have no job and no future. Immigration is their only hope. At least 15% of those who set out for Europe die along the way. Nothing short of military force is going to stop them.

They even invade South Africa, which still has an economy that is light years ahead of the rest of the continent.
