The Camp of the Saints: Apocalyptic Fiction Made Real

Charles Burris
As these three powerful and distressing articles elucidate (Madness in the Med: how charity rescue boats exacerbate the refugee crisis; NGOs are smuggling immigrants into Europe on an industrial scale; Blackwater founder returns to save Europe from refugees) one cannot help but be reminded of the stentorian warning to the West emblazoned in the apocalyptic novel by Jean Raspail, The Camp of the Saints.
In one of the most divisive and controversial works of the 20th Century, Raspail chillingly predicted and prophesied forty four years ago precisely what is occurring and its suicidal consequences for the diseased remnants of that civilization. It is unquestionably the most powerful novel I have ever read.
The late Ralph Raico brilliantly summarized its plot.
Insidious egalitarianism, destructive welfarism, aggressive multiculturalism, Third World invasions by the wretched of the earth, militaristic imperialism posing as humanitarian liberation, and mindless parousiatic atheism in the name of a hallowed pluralism, have blended into cultural Marxism promoted by a Latin American pontiff in the novel.
Other prophetic voices have followed Raspail: Oriana Fallaci, Pascal Bruckner, Bruce Bawer, and most notably Patrick J. Buchanan (here, here & here). The culture vultures have indeed come home to roost and are flailing away at the twisted torso of the corpse that was once the West.
