A few weeks ago, I briefly talked about a book called \u201cThe Camp of the Saints.\u201d It\u2019s a dystopian novel by a French author that was first published in the 1970s.<\/span><\/p>\n Cover credit: Vauban Books<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d is unlike every dystopian novel that\u2019s taught in schools, because the villain of the story isn\u2019t \u201cthe surveillance state\u201d or \u201cfascism\u201d or anything like that. Instead, the primary threat in \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d is a massive migrant horde from the third world. It\u2019s a book that was banned and censored relentlessly upon its release, for obvious reasons. You\u2019re not supposed to see foreign invaders as a threat. And you\u2019re certainly not supposed to mock the naive Westerners who want to open the borders, which the book invites you to do. Now that many Western countries have been overwhelmed with foreigners, \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d isn\u2019t really even a dystopian novel anymore. It\u2019s more like a lightly-fictionalized version of real life \u2014 which makes it even more depressing.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYour universe has no meaning to them,\u201d one passage from the book reads. \u201cThey will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak doors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n After I mentioned the book, it moved quickly to the top of Amazon\u2019s best-seller list. The publisher, a small outfit called Vauban Books, was thrilled, as you might expect. They invested a lot of time and money into translating a definitive edition of the book. Their goal was to make it accessible and affordable, after every other publisher dropped it. And indeed, it was catching on. Various conservative commentators were praising the novel on social media. The reviews were almost universally positive, with a 4.8-star rating on Amazon, which controls about 50% of the physical book market.<\/span><\/p>\n And then, about 24 hours ago, the book simply disappeared from Amazon entirely, without any explanation. If you tried to navigate to the latest edition of \u201cThe Camp of the Saints,\u201d here\u2019s what you\u2019d see:<\/span><\/p>\n Amazon.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There was no indication of what happened \u2014 only that the webpage was down, for some unknown reason. It was unavailable for most of the day yesterday. Only the older, out-of-print versions \u2014 the ones that cost more than $100 \u2014 were available. But the affordable, definitive edition of \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d was simply deleted from Amazon. And predictably, none of the Leftists who claim to care about \u201cbanned books\u201d \u2014 including politicians like Gavin Newsom \u2014 said a word about it.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the publisher Vauban Books, Amazon specifically claimed that the novel violated their \u201coffensive content\u201d policy. Amazon told the publisher that it had reviewed the book\u2019s content and believed it was unacceptable. But again, they didn\u2019t elaborate further than that.<\/span><\/p>\n Apparently, it\u2019s not enough for every public school to ignore \u201cThe Camp of the Saints.\u201d It\u2019s not enough for the media to call you a racist if you read it. Amazon evidently believes that the only solution is to erase the book from its shelves entirely. It\u2019s just too \u201coffensive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n At the same time, if you\u2019re looking to pick up a copy of \u201cMein Kampf,\u201d that\u2019s no problem on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n Amazon.com screenshot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here is the store page. Amazon will happily sell you \u201cThe Essential Mein Kampf,\u201d a new English translation of the \u201cclassic work by Adolf Hitler\u201d \u2014 one of the most \u201cconsequential leaders in world history.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Amazon.com screenshot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Amazon will also sell you thousands of books like this one, called \u201cMy Child is Trans, Now What: A Joy-Centered Approach to Support.\u201d So it\u2019s not \u201coffensive\u201d to encourage parents to mutilate and castrate their children in the name of gender ideology. The red line, apparently, is a fictional book about mass migration from third-world countries like India, in particular, which is what \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d is. The Great Replacement is their red line \u2014 you can\u2019t talk about that. They\u2019ll tolerate Hitler\u2019s book, probably because it\u2019s a historical document. They\u2019ll tolerate child mutilation. But they definitely won\u2019t tolerate a contemporary, highly accurate portrayal of Western decline (and the people who enable it). That\u2019s simply unacceptable to these people.<\/span><\/p>\n We reached out to the editor of Vauban Books to see if we might be missing something. We asked him what, if anything, Amazon could\u2019ve possibly been referring to. He told us that, yes, the migrant horde (consisting of a million foreigners) is indeed depicted in unflattering terms. But there are several non-white characters who are depicted as nuanced and cultured individuals or even heroes, including the Indian government minister, as well as a \u201cfully integrated French national of Indian origin who joins the remnants of France\u2019s state and military in putting up a last stand against the invasion at the book\u2019s end.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So as a factual matter, this isn\u2019t a book that argues that Indians (or people from the third world) are all fundamentally inferior, or anything along those lines. Instead, to quote the editor, the intent of the author was never to slight the Indians; instead, \u201cit was to warn of attitudes common in his era \u2013 and our own \u2013 that would necessarily lead to demographic submersion should such masses of people ever appear on Western shores.\u201d Of course, if you actually read the book, you\u2019d recognize all of this. So the goal of Amazon, and the Left in general, is to make sure you can\u2019t actually read the book.<\/span><\/p>\n And that brings us to an issue that\u2019s much larger than this one book. Make no mistake about it: The censorship of \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d is a clear signal of the Left\u2019s intent, should they ever take power again. They haven\u2019t undergone a change of heart, even after their campaign of lawfare failed, and Trump won the popular vote and returned to office. They aren\u2019t going to moderate their psychopathic drive for power, and they won\u2019t hesitate to punish their political enemies. They will intimidate, censor, and destroy conservatives at every opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n In the case of \u201cThe Camp of the Saints,\u201d the hit job was fairly well organized. <\/span><\/p>\n A few weeks ago, a political operative for the French paper \u201cLe Monde\u201d wrote a lengthy article about the influence of \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d in the Trump administration. The article was translated into English. Then shortly afterward \u2014 just one day before Amazon pulled the book \u2014 New York Magazine ran an article entitled, \u201cWhy Orban\u2019s Loss Was So Devastating for the New Right.\u201d It made the same arguments as the Le Monde article. It was clear the author either hadn\u2019t read the book or wasn\u2019t remotely interested in portraying it fairly. The article just regurgitated the same old talking points about the novel, without any context. The point was to give Amazon a pretext to delete the book entirely, and Amazon got the message.<\/span><\/p>\n But too many people noticed what was happening. So late last night, after sustained outrage from conservatives on social media, Amazon <\/span>relented<\/span><\/a>. They created a new listing so that people can once again purchase the physical edition of \u201cThe Camp of the Saints\u201d from Vauban Books. Then, around midnight, Amazon finally replied to my producers (after delaying their response for several hours). Amazon claimed that some kind of \u201cerror\u201d had caused the book to be taken down. They didn\u2019t explain why they told the publisher a completely different story. Nor did they elaborate on the nature of this \u201cerror,\u201d and why it only affected this one book.<\/span><\/p>\n So it\u2019s obvious they didn\u2019t expect the backlash. That\u2019s why they offered no actual explanation for anything they did. And therefore, there\u2019s no doubt they\u2019re going to try this kind of censorship again, and soon. Amazon got ahead of itself here. But they\u2019re absolutely going to continue censoring wrongthink as soon as they feel like the political winds have shifted.<\/span><\/p>\n This is how Democrats are going to operate, the moment they return to power. We\u2019ve already <\/span>talked about<\/span><\/a> their \u201cProject 2029,\u201d which has been endorsed by JB Pritzker in Illinois. The idea is to imprison everyone who\u2019s upset the Democrat Party, including ICE officers who are lawfully enforcing immigration law. On top of that, Democrats are now openly floating the idea of granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico for the purpose of gaining more representation in the Senate, so that they can pack the Supreme Court. <\/span><\/p>\n This is James Carville\u2019s latest rant. <\/span><\/p>\n Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n Carville previews what\u2019s in store if Democrats retake power \u2014 says they should keep their plans quiet:<\/p>\n \u201cIf Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, on day one, they should make Puerto Rico and DC a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cF*ck\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/FrNbVwUTks<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/V4KK8j52AM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) April 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Source: @WesternLensman\/X.com<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t run on it, don\u2019t talk about it \u2014 just do it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n So he wants them to keep it a secret, as he says the entire plan out loud. Meanwhile, you have Republicans who are refusing to pass the SAVE Act because they wouldn\u2019t want to disrespect the hallowed traditions of the Senate. While Republicans are hiding behind the rules as an excuse for their complete failure to do anything productive, Democrats are planning to simply ignore the rules and remake our entire system of government so that Republicans can never hold power again.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s worth paying attention to just how flimsy his justification is. Carville says Republicans have \u201cgerrymandered everything.\u201d That\u2019s his rationale for why Democrats should transform the country into a one-party authoritarian state. And he\u2019s making this argument at precisely the same moment that Democrats in Virginia are trying to redraw their congressional maps so that they have a permanent 10-to-1 advantage. There\u2019s a vote on that today. This is a state where 46% of the voters supported Donald Trump in the most recent election. Pretty soon, 90% of the congressional seats will belong to Democrats. And of course, many other Democrat-run states already work like this. California\u2019s congressional delegation is around 18% Republican, even though Trump won nearly 40% of the vote in the last election in the state. Forty-three percent of voters in Illinois supported Trump, but only 17% of the congressional delegation is conservative. And on and on.<\/span><\/p>\n But James Carville simply doesn\u2019t care about any of this. He also doesn\u2019t care about the rampant anti-white gerrymandering that was mandated under the Voting Rights Act, which has allowed Democrats to effectively steal more than a dozen congressional seats. Instead, Carville\u2019s goal is to manufacture a narrative that sounds persuasive enough to most Democrat voters, which isn\u2019t exactly difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n And if you\u2019re tempted to dismiss Carville as an irrelevant old hack \u2014 which he is \u2014 you need to realize that Democrats, at the highest levels, are saying basically the same thing. They\u2019re repeating the same deranged argument about gerrymandering, which they plan to use as a justification to do whatever they want.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n Hakeem Jeffries urges YES vote on redistricting scheme that would hand Democrats 90% of congressional seats in Virginia.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about making sure there\u2019s a fair national congressional map.\u201d<\/p>\n National Democrats want to hijack Virginia\u2019s electorate.<\/p>\n Vote NO. https:\/\/t.co\/mPHCMCIfqi<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/VHoMrvvQO6<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Cover](\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2026\/04\/Camp-of-saints-367x576.jpg\")
