"Camp Of The Saints" - Divinely Inspired
By the French author Jean Raspail (1973), possibly the most important book you will ever read and eerily clairvoyant
I have added this book as a two column .PDF file to the Memex after it was graciously released to public domain by Jean Raspail prior to his death in 2020 in a French hospital.
I first read this book in the early part of 1992 and I count it one of the most powerful influences on me ever since. I have scarcely thought about the future without expecting it would largely prove Raspail amazingly accurate.
Raspail declared France had fallen in 2015 and was no longer French. He also predicted it would cease shortly to be a world power and would not have an intact government by 2030. All of this is self-evidently true and many people would say it does not have a rule of law or an intact government now. Raspail also predicted that the only strong political force that would control France would be Islam, a natural choice as a totalitarian government that would be required to keep the jackboot down on the new inhabitants if it hoped to have any order at all out of the chaos approaching. It is also a religion that encourages profundity which guarantees it beats all others which do not make the family the center of their national culture.
Most of the really important books are free and I am glad to see Jean Raspail has made his own works into same. They are that important that nobody has a right to monopolize them or charge money to read them.
Deuteronomy 31:20
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

Thank you for this. I look forward to reading the book. I have passed the link onto many of my friends and family. The Cassandra Complex does explain some of the frustration/debilitation that we see in people like us who have seen what is coming and feel like we are beating our head against the wall. There is only one antidote to this and that is Jesus Christ and him crucified. There is no other solution.
I only read the first couple chapters of this novel before getting distracted some years ago, but it is high art; one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. I strongly recommend it, and plan to finish it now that you've reminded me.
