PARIS IS BURNING! IN FACT - ALL OF FRANCE IS BURNING.

In 1973, the writer, Jean Raspail, wrote a prophetic novel, much like Orwell's 1984, entitled, Le Camp Des Saints (The Camp of the Saints). It is not a religious story, but one of the failure of France to adhere to its cultural roots and values. It describes the unwise policy of open immigration and of bringing into one's national society many immigrants of diverse values and religions that contribute to division and social upheaval of a society. In his preface, Raspail writes:

    "I HAD WANTED TO WRITE a lengthy preface to explain my position and show that this is no wild-eyed dream; that even if the

specific action, symbolic as it is, may seem farfetched, the fact remains that we are inevitably heading for something of the sort. We

need only glance at the awesome population figures predicted for the year 2000, i.e., twenty-eight years from now: seven billion people,

only nine hundred million of whom will be white.

    "But what good would it do?

    "I should at least point out, though, that many of the texts I have put into my characters’ mouths or pens—editorials, speeches,

pastoral letters, laws, news stories, statements of every description—are, in fact, authentic. Perhaps the reader will spot them as they go

by. In terms of the fictional situation I have presented, they become all the more revealing."

—J.R.

    Immediately following its publication, the French Federal Court banned the book from publication and distribution in France. The book is fictional, but its absolute accuracy of future prophecy is uncanny to say the least.

    France today is harvesting the fruits of its grave error and shortcoming in handling its domestic social contract. Diversity is real, and it has proven devastating to France and her people.

'The Camp of the Saints' is available on pdf from the Internet Archive for those who would be led to examine its picture of present-day France, painted 53 years ago.
