Below is a message from one of our most popular young writers, James Kirkpatrick, regarding VDARE.com's 20th Anniversary. Later this month we'll share messages from many other staff, contributors and supporters of VDARE.com as we celebrate the past, present and future of immigration patriotism.

Thank you most profoundly to those of you who have already contributed -- we've had close to 500 donations this week! If you'd like to donate now, please click the link above. And thanks again.

Sincerely,

"No man is a hero to his valet" is one of those brilliant aphorisms attributed to a million different people. Yet I’m less concerned with who said it than whether or not it’s true: I’m not quite Peter’s Brimelow’s valet, but I’ve worked for him for many years. And my admiration has only increased.

His book Alien Nation was a wake-up call for me when I was a young Conservative Inc activist. Peter is a hero of mine.

Peter is, above all, driven. He’s passionate about ideas, people, and the cause of the Historic American Nation. And yet, he’s been essentially banned from Conservatism Inc. and the Main Stream Media is currently waging a hysterical campaign suggesting even quoting Peter or reading VDARE.com is career-ending.

Why? Not because he is wrong, but because he has been proven right.

Two decades ago, Peter Brimelow warned us about what mass immigration would do. Now in California, Virginia, and other states that Republicans used to take for granted, they appear to have conceded eternal defeat.

If there were any justice, the entirety of the next Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) would be dedicated to apologizing to Peter Brimelow and those other Cassandras who accurately predicted what was going to happen.

Of course, that won't happen.

But that’s why VDARE.com is so necessary and why I’m so proud to be a part of it.

We are more relevant than ever, which is why the MSM is more hostile than ever.

It was VDARE.com that provided the intellectual ammunition that fueled the 2016 Donald Trump campaign.
It was VDARE.com that advanced concepts like an immigration moratorium that are now finally percolating through the American Right.
It was VDARE.com that popularized the concept of "Conservatism Inc.," that parasitic network of "nonprofits," lobbying groups, and do-nothing PAC’s that have been grifting patriots for a generation now.

As anyone who knows me can testify, I’m relentlessly self-critical. But I do think my contribution to modern political rhetoric is the popularlization of the term "Conservatism Inc." My new book – entitled Conservatism Inc – chronicles how the concept and the term developed.

Now, we see the term "Conservatism Inc." everywhere. Even Conservative Inc itself uses it in order to fake authenticity!

This is a big deal!

I’m proud of this accomplishment because it has wide-ranging ramifications. It shows that Conservatism Inc. is on defense and we are on the attack. We have the initiative. We are exactly where we need to be.

VDARE.com is not fringe. Our ideas are popular. We develop concepts and ideas that power a real American Right, a movement that actually moves, a nationalist party that wins.

In just the past year, Conservatism Inc. has intensified the purges within the movement against immigration patriots. The media has systematically targeted people so they can be doxed, fired, and shamed for advocating the same policies that Donald Trump ran on in 2016. On the campuses and in conservative conferences, there’s a war for the future of the movement between nationalist students and a Conservatism Inc. establishment terrified of what we represent.

This is cause for extreme optimism, were it not for one thing – money. The biggest weakness immigration patriots have is financial. We can’t use Paypal (but we’re suing!). Our YouTube account is constantly under siege. Hosting a conference at a private venue is almost impossible. The iron fist once concealed by the velvet glove of liberal pieties is becoming more obvious every day. No longer can we take freedom of speech for granted.

That’s why I’m writing to you at this critical time. In many ways, this may be our last chance, as journalists and their allies in government are already hinting that our tax exemption, banking accounts, and online access should be taken away because of our dissident views. We're on a knife edge. We need you to act – now – if we are to fend this off. There is no tomorrow. It is truly is now or never.

Of course, today, the battle is about far more than demographics. It’s about the Historic American Nation, and whether it can survive. Even if we impose an immigration moratorium tomorrow, our country will still be plagued by the aftereffects of the settler colonialism we’ve been subjected to over the last four decades.

Whatever happens: the Historic American Nation needs a voice – VDARE.com is that voice.

Promising, talented young nationalists need a place to work after Conservatism Inc. purges them – VDARE.com is that place.

Americans who know they are losing their country need a hope – VDARE.com is that hope.

I end with a personal plea. Good friends of mine, brilliant young men and women, have been depersoned under this Cultural Marxist tyranny. They have so much to contribute, but they have families to support. If you have the means, or if you can make the means, please donate.

We will fight on your behalf. We are all in this together. And if we can show even a fragment of the solidarity and fighting spirit that our forefathers showed when they created this great country, I know that we can win.

I’m with you all to the end. My deepest thanks to all of you who have already donated. We can't do it without you. As for the rest, please give generously.

And have a Merry Christmas!
