The Camp of the Saints
Aug 9th, 2012 by Unamused
The Camp of the Saints (1973), by Jean Raspail, is an important book about race, immigration, and the future of white people and Western Civilization. Every reactionary should read it.
Luckily for you, reactionary friends, it is also exciting, suspenseful, funny, and thoroughly entertaining. I finished it in one day.
Think of The Camp of the Saints as a much shorter, much funnier Atlas Shrugged with the economic Marxists (Communists) replaced by racial/cultural Marxists, i.e., “Progressives” (who are also, incidentally, Communists).
And yes, it’s funny. I was laughing out loud by the time Dom Meichior called on Saint Podiatron for his assistance, but the Christening scene — never mind, just read the damn book!
On a scale of one to five kittehs, I give The Camp of the Saints… five kittehs!
So many.
A PDF version may be found here, but you can also purchase it on Amazon.
The kitty on the lower right appears to be giving a Nazi salute. I’ve been noticing some subtle antagonism towards minorities on this website but I never thought that you would stoop to recruiting legions of hate-kittens.
The SPLC was aware of the guy who shot up the Sikh temple and even his crappy band, but obviously your hate website has flown under their radar. I’ve checked, and you aren’t listed. Vdare is there, and plenty of others, but not yours.
I am going to petition SPLC to include your site and maybe they can stop you before you strap explosives to kittens and send them into a black church or mosque.
You might also enjoy The Node, by Tito Perdue. As the publisher I may be biased, but it’s one of the funniest books I’ve ever read.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just bought it used on Amazon.
Also, the SPLC has reviewed the book.
Spoiler: They don’t like it.

I read Camp of the Saints way back when and could not put it down until I finished it. It was a disturbing vision of the future.
I picked the book out of a dusty box in the garage last year and started reading it again, then stopped. My thought now was: “Hey, this isn’t the future…it’s already happened!”
Anyway, get the book, read it, and contemplate Babylon…
I’m halfway through it… It’s hard to believe it was written in 1973.
On. The. Nose.

Boy, did Raspail nail it. The handwriting was clearly on the wall, even back then. He just had balls enough to write about it. I doubt it’d ever get published today.
And Chip Smith, thanks for The Node recommendation. I just purchased it.

“I am going to petition SPLC to include your site and maybe they can stop you before you strap explosives to kittens and send them into a black church or mosque.”
This is either a very amusing variety of troll, or a dead-serious idiot.
Amusing troll I believe. Although I did just hear the strangest clicking noise on my phone line…
Along the same lines (general lines) of Camp de Raspail (ok, so I don’t know French), this entry you are reading is simply a note to self to buy/read “Cry Wolf: A Political Fable” by Paul Lake. I have no connection in the least to writer or publisher…this is at face value…I made a note of this (to self) four years ago and never bought it during the entire intervening period but it simply looks like a must-read and I promise you (sorry for the delay!) to order it before or during this pending weekend.
The Pulitzer-eligible festive-depressive quote of this entire thread is Californian’s who stated: “….(After I re-started to read this book,) my thought was: ‘Hey, this isn’t the future…it’s already happened!’” — The reactive laugh I experience from the foregoing made my week.
Four years ago my own heavily underlined/highlighted reading of Camp cranked to a halt at page 148 of 314. Tonight I commence immediately therefrom.
Page after page, the book is replete with gems like (page 82): “…at that very moment, 32,742 schoolteachers hit on the subject for the next day’s theme: ‘Describe the life of the poor suffering souls on board the ships and express your feelings toward their plight in detail’…and the dear little angel(s) — all of them simple, childish souls and hearts — will (dutifully spill out) four pages worth of infantile pathos…’”
