LYDIA BRIMELOW: VDARE.COM VS. CANCEL CULTURE—MY STORY ( [link removed] )

VDARE.com Publisher Lydia Brimelow writes ( [link removed] ) :  My husband, VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow, has described, in his resignation announcement above, the lethal lawfare ( [link removed] ) waged against us by New York State Attorney General Letitia James. ( [link removed] )

But Peter also mentioned other interlocking issues that are also contributing to our decision to suspend. Here I want to put on the record, because I lived it personally, the role of Cancel Culture ( [link removed] ) in the demise of VDARE.com.

My role as President of the VDARE Foundation ( [link removed] ) perforce became, not fundraising, but developing strategies to survive Cancel Culture. It is my sense that our little organization has been targeted more harshly than almost any other. We are genuinely puzzled as to why. Essentially, we’ve just been advocating what President Trump endorsed ( [link removed] ) in his epochal August 15, ( [link removed] )

2015, ( [link removed] ) Immigration Statement ( [link removed] ). What’s wrong with that?

Nevertheless, Cancel Culture is ( [link removed] ) a key reason it has become impossible for VDARE Foundation to continue our main project, the VDARE.com website. My bitter task here is to explain that, and to describe what I have done to fight it off as long as possible.

For VDARE.com to operate, we need at a minimum:

* *The ability to create content and post it to VDARE.com;*
* *The ability to distribute our message and communicate with our readers;*
* *Access to funding;*
* *Support from professionals who provide back office support and financial and legal advice.*

Below, please find a list of business services from which we have been Canceled or who have otherwise failed us, categorized loosely.

(Note: this list does not include event venue cancelations, ( [link removed] ) Lawfare, Berkeley Springs Castle administration ( [link removed] ) , staffing challenges or the personal harassment of the Brimelow family ( [link removed] ) , all of which taken serious tolls but do not directly contribute to the paralysis that our operation now faces.)

*Create and Post Content*

* * Network Solutions
* Epik
* RKL
* Tech Soup
* Winchester, VA tech firm

Network Solutions canceled our domain registration in 2020 ( [link removed] ). I attempted to migrate VDARE.com to Epik, known at the time for hosting American Renaissance ( [link removed] ) and Gab. After some extremely weird email and phone conversations with Epik’s Rob Monster (he told me on the phone that he would consider hosting us if we purchased a board seat for $1 million, and then sent me a several-thousand-word nonsensical rant about Christianity, implying that I needed to endorse it), I decided Epik was unworkable. That turned out to be a good judgement, given the scandals that have subsequently hounded his company.

From 2016-2023 VDARE.com used RKL, a Connecticut-based tech support company, to service our hardware, office network, backups, VOIP phones and Microsoft365 licensing and email hosting. In 2023, they abruptly canceled us for political reasons, taking with them a lot of institutional knowledge that I have subsequently tried hard to piece together.

I applied to TechSoup, a nonprofit organization dedicated to offering free and discounted tech support, software and hardware to other nonprofit organizations. TechSoup is a global leader in nonprofit tech support and is partnered with Microsoft, Adobe, Intuit (Quickbooks), HP, Docusign, Zoom, Youtube, and more.
