Truth or Consequences
"It's not The Camp of the Saints yet, but we're getting close."
- Pablo Casado, Spanish Popular Party, July 28, 2018
When French novelist Jean Raspail's The Camp of the Saints was published in 1973, it was criticized as delusional, alarmist, and xenophobic.
It imagined the French Riviera being swamped by rusty, overcapacity ships filled with the poorer peoples of the global south.
Raspail's work saw unexpected attention earlier this month when former Breitbart reporter Katie McHugh revealed that White House advisor Stephen Miller referenced the book in communications with correspondents at the news site.
The horror!
******************************
Well horror visited London and The Hague yesterday when men armed with knives attacked innocent passersby on the busiest shopping day of the year.
28-year old ex-convict Usman Kahn, still electronically tethered by a parolee's ankle device, killed University of Cambridge graduate Jack Merritt, 25, and an unnamed woman that ended on the iconic London Bridge. Five others were wounded, sources confirm.
Brave pedestrians cornered Kahn, who was clad in a fake suicide vest. One civilian came armed with a narwhal tusk borrowed from a nearby exhibit. Others brandished fire extinguishers.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and a concerned-looking London Mayor Sadiq Kahn visited a familiar scene. It marked London's eighth terror incident in 20 months.
Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted the standard platitudes: "Shocking reports from London Bridge. My thoughts are with those caught up in the incident. Thank you to the police and emergency services who are responding."
Sky News reported Kahn was mentored by Islam4UK leader Anjem Choudary and had plans for a terrorist training camp on lands in Pakistan owned by his family.
He'd served eight of 16 years for a foiled plot with eight others to blow up the London Stock Exchange in 2010.
Home Secretary Priti Patel, of Ugandan and Indian derivation, accompanied Johnson and spoke to investigators.
On November 4 Patel had downgraded the terror threat in London from "severe" to "substantial."
Dutch investigators remain on the hunt for a man described only as "in his forties and wearing a grey track suit" who swung a knife at children, injuring three at a Hudson's Bay outlet.

Miller is not the only political figure to evoke Raspail recently.
Pablo Casado, leader of the Spanish Popular Party, cited The Camp of the Saints last year when a rash of landings plagued popular beaches from Cadiz to Almeria, and Africans repeatedly breached barriers at Ceuta.
In France, Raspail's native Montpelier has been transformed in the decades since his novel appeared in bookstores.
Now millions of newly-minted citizens from Arabia, Africa, and the Caribbean populate Montpelier and all of France's major cities.
They've arrived, not by the massive boatlift Raspail envisioned but as a constant stream since the 1960s.
Argument for the influx evolved over time, too: First it was needed guest workers, then amended to the wonders of multiracialism, and now as a remedy to falling native birth rates, etcetera.

A 2013 expose in the magazine Valeurs Actuelles profiled the reclusive author when he discussed the difficulties facing modern Europe.
Here are excerpts of that interview:
"The people already know it all, intuitively, that France as our ancestors fashioned it centuries ago is disappearing.
"Today tens of millions of people don't buy into the official discourse on immigration. Not one of them believes that it is an opportunity for France. Because reality imposes itself on them, every day.
"Even if a few more were escorted to the border and we succeeded in integrating foreigners a bit more than today, their numbers will not stop growing, and that will change nothing as to the fundamental problem: A building invasion of France and Europe by the Third World.
"We need to drastically toughen the laws as a matter of urgency.
"There are only two solutions. Either we accommodate them and France, its culture, its civilization, will be erased without even a funeral. In my view, that's what's going to happen.
"Or we don't accommodate them at all, that means stop sacralizing the other and rediscover your neighbor, that means those next to you.
"I don't see another solution.
"I travelled a lot in my youth. All peoples are fascinating but when you mix them too much, there is much more animosity that develops than sympathy. Race-mixing is never peaceful. It is dangerous. Look at South Africa!
"At the point where we are now, the measures we would have to take would necessarily be very coercive. I don't believe it will happen, and I don't see anyone who has the courage to do it. They would need to put their soul in the balance, but who is ready for that?
"That said, I don't believe for an instant that the supporters of immigration are more charitable than me. There probably isn't a single one of them who intends to welcome one of these unfortunates into his home.
"We have desacralized the idea of nation, the exercise of power, the past of the country. We have put cracks in the statue of France, we have disfigured it, especially by the left, to the point where nothing inspires respect anymore.
"The power of the false ideas disseminated by the national education system and the media is absolutely boundless," Raspail concluded.

And a whole bunch of people want to make it so [Camp of the Saints] and are working to make it so.
Greece a small country. Population of ethnic Greek about 9 million. Plus now about 1 million migrants, refugees, illegal aliens.
Greece as a nation-state relatively new. And at the current rate, in several generations will be gone.
