PETER BRIMELOW: WHY WE'VE SUSPENDED VDARE AND I'VE RESIGNED AFTER 25 YEARS ( [link removed] )

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes ( [link removed] ) :  Someone I know recently lost his daughter. She was exactly the same age as my son Alexander, and in fact we have pictures of them together as babies.

Needless to say, losing VDARE.com is absolutely nothing compared to that.

But it still hurts.

Very soon, the VDARE.com website will be suspended. We are currently unsure for how long the archives will remain accessible, or even if they will be accessible at all.

(We do think that our social media, however, will still function).

So my role here has been destroyed. After 25 years, I am resigning as Editor of VDARE.com and from the VDARE.com Foundation board.

My wife Lydia will continue for now as President of the VDARE Foundation, handling the administrative details of winding down—and, of course, paying lawyers.

One bright spot: The Berkeley Springs Castle, which is where we’re filming this, is owned by a separate foundation that is based in West Virginia. It will continue to host Dissident conferences as well as normie events like weddings and so on—if any of you want to get married and battle the Great Replacement.

VDARE.com was a highly successful operation—particularly after Lydia solved the problem of us getting our conferences cancelled by buying the Castle.

But it has been murdered by New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

It’s important to note that she’s *not charged us with anything*. But under James, New York State has become what liberal law professor Jonathan Turley has described as “ The Land The Law Forgot ( [link removed] ).”

She has waged unprecedented, unethical and unscrupulous lawfare against, for example, the National Rifle Association and, most notoriously, against President Donald J. Trump.

And, much lower down the food chain, against the VDARE Foundation.

We have been registered, alas, in New York State since 1999, before anyone had ever heard of lawfare. Or of Letitia James.

To repeat: *James has not charged us with anything*. She has simply battered us to death by a massive and intrusive “investigation” that bears no rational relationship to any conceivable offense. We estimate we’ve spent upwards of a million dollars on compliance, let alone hundreds of hours of work. All of these resources should have gone to our mission: advancing the cause of Patriotic Immigration Reform.

Letitia James is quite obviously aiming at suppressing our speech. But the New York State courts have completely declined to protect our First Amendment rights.

We can’t go on.

But there are three other interlocking issues that are also forcing us to suspend.

The first one is the extraordinary wave of Cancellation that we've experienced increasingly over the last several years.

It extends even to personal matters, for example our long-time personal financial advisor, who's been with us 15 or 16 years, was forced to drop us recently.

Americans generally don't understand what is actually going on here—how this de facto “Social Credit “system, like the one the Chinese Communists have, being used to suppress patriots.

Lydia's going to post a very long discussion ( [link removed] ) of our experience shortly, which is frankly I think a historic document, because nobody's reporting this stuff.

If we had time and resources, we could continue to face down this Cancellation, even though it's getting increasingly difficult.

But we don't have the time. And we don't have the money.

The second interlocking problem I mentioned is somewhat similar, and that's our abrupt inability to accept online payments.

It hit us in the middle of our Year-End appeal in December, which is when we raise most of our money.

Now, in the past, when we've had credit card payment systems go down on us, we assume, for example with PayPal, that it's the credit card processor that's to blame.

But subsequently this year we've been working with GabPay, whom we know would not do that to us.

It turns out that the problem is the banks.

Even when the payment processor wants to work with us, the banks won't.

And, in fact, we don't even think it is the banks in the end.

We think it's the federal regulators.

Federal regulators are bringing pressure on banks to suppress unwelcome speech, just as they're bringing pressure on them to stop gun sales and so on.

Again, this is something that's going to require legislation—to suppress this Viewpoint Discrimination and to allow freedom of speech to return to America.

So I urge President Trump and Vice President Vance to get onto this.
