The Fatherland Betrayed by The
Republic
Jean Raspail*
(Translated from the French By Peter Wakefield Sault)
I circled around this topic like a dog handler in the presence of a parcel bomb. It is
difficult to approach it directly without having it explode in one's face. There is danger
of civilian death. It is, however, the main line of investigation. I hesitated. Especially
as in 1973, by publishing "The Camp of The Saints," I had already said it all. I
do not have a great deal to add except to say that the deed is done.
Because I am convinced that the fate of France is sealed, because "My house is their
house" (Mitterand), inside "Europe whose roots are as much Muslim as
Christian" (Chirac), because the situation is moving irreversibly towards the final
swing in 2050 which will see French stock amounting to only half the population of the
country, the remainder comprising Africans, Moors and Asians of all sorts from the
inexhaustible reserve of the Third World, predominantly Islamic, understood to be
fundamentalist Jihadists, this dance is only the beginning.
France is not the only concern. All of Europe marches to its death. The warnings are
precise - the UN report (which delighted some), incontrovertible work by Jean-Claude
Chesnais and Jaques Dupachier, in particular - yet they are systematically buried and the
National Institute for Demographic Studies [INED] pushes disinformation.
The almost sepulchral silence of the media, governments and community institutions on the
demographic crash of the European Union is one of the more striking phenomena of our time.
When there is a birth in my family or in the homes of my friends, I cannot look at this
baby of our house without reflecting upon that which prepares itself for him in the
negligent governments and what he must confront in his manhood...
Without taking into account that those of French stock, bludgeoned by the throbbing
tom-tom of human rights, of "the welcome to the outsider", of the
"sharing" dear to our bishops etc., framed by a whole repressive arsenal of laws
known as "anti-racist", conditioned from early childhood with cultural and
behavioral "crossbreeding", with the requirements of "plural France"
and with all the by-products of old Christian charity, will no longer have any other means
but to lower their children and to merge without kids into the new mould French
"citizen" of 2050.
All the same let us not despair. Without doubt, there will remain what is called in
ethnology some isolates, some powerful minorities, perhaps about 15 million French - and
not necessarily all of the white race - who will still speak our language more or less
unbroken and will insist on remaining impregnated with our culture and our history such as
was transmitted to us from generation to generation. It will not be easy for them.
Facing the various "communities" which one sees being formed today on the ruins
of integration (or rather on its progressive reversal: it is us whom one integrates into
"the other", now, and more the opposite) and which in 2050 will be permanently
and without doubt institutionally installed, it will be to some extent - I seek a suitable
term - about a community of French continuity. This one will be based on its families, her
birth-rate, its endogamy of survival, its schools, its parallel networks of solidarity,
perhaps even its geographical areas, its portions of territory, its districts, even its
places of safety and, why not, its Christian, and catholic faith with a small chance if
this cement still holds.
That will not please. The clash will take place some time or another. Something like the
elimination of the Kulaks by suitable legal means. And then?
Then France will no longer be peopled, all confused origins, except by hermit crabs who
will live in shells left behind by the representatives of a species gone forever which was
called the French species and unannounced, by one does not know which genetic
metamorphosis, that which in second half of this century will have been clothed with this
name. This process has already started.
There is one second hypothesis that I could not formulate otherwise than privately and
which would require that I consulted my lawyer beforehand, it is that the last isolates
resist until initiating a kind of reconquest undoubtedly different from the Spanish but
taking as its starting point the same reasons. This will be a perilous story to write
about. It is not me who will be charged with this, as I have already done my bit. Its
author has probably not yet been born, but this book will see the light of day at the
appointed time, I am sure...
What I cannot understand and which plunges me into an abyss of sorry perplexity, is why
and how so many informed Frenchmen and so many French politicians contribute knowingly,
methodically, I don't dare to say cynically, with the certain immolation of France (let us
avoid the qualifier of eternal which disgusts the beautiful consciences) on the altar of
an aggravated utopian humanism.
I ask myself the same question in connection with all these omnipresent associations of
rights to this, rights to that, and all these leagues, these think tanks, these subsidized
headquarters, these networks of manipulators insinuated into all the wheels of State
(political education, judiciary, parties, trade unions, etc), these innumerable
petitioners, these correctly consensual media and all these "clever" folks who
day after day and with impunity inoculate their anaesthetic substance into the still
healthy body of the French nation.
Even if I can, at a pinch, credit them on the one hand with sincerity, it sometimes
saddens me to admit that they are my countrymen. I feel the sting of the renegade word,
but there is another explanation: they confuse France with the Republic. "Republican
values" have deteriorated ad infinitum, one knows it fully, but never with reference
to France. However France is from the outset a country of [common] blood. On the other
hand, the Republic, which is only one shape of government, is synonymous for them with
ideology, ideology with a capital "I", the major ideology. It seems to me, to
some extent, that they betray the first for the second.
Among the flood of references which I accumulate in thick files in support of this
assessment, here is one which under the [deceptive] appearance of a good child illuminates
the extent of the damage well. It is drawn from a speech by Laurent Fabius to the
socialist congress of Dijon, 17th May 2003: "When the Marianne [statue of Liberty] on
our town halls takes the beautiful face of a young immigrant Frenchwoman, this day France
will have crossed a line while bringing alive fully thevalues of the Republic..."
Since we are [left] with quotations, here are two, to conclude: "No amount of atomic
bombs will be able to dam up the tidal wave comprising human beings in their millions
which one day will leave the southernmost and poor part of the world, to erupt the
relatively open spaces of the wealthy northern hemisphere, in search of survival."
(President Boumediene, March 1974.)
And this one, drawn from the 20th chapter of 'Revelations': "The thousand years is
expired. Those are what departs the nations which are at the four corners of the Earth and
which are equal in number to the sand of the sea. They will go forth in expedition across
the surface the Earth, they will surround the camp of the saints and the beloved
city."

sixteen small French citizens.
