The Murder of VDare
This is horrifically sad, not only because our side has lost a principal asset, but also because of the financial and personal effects on the Brimelows and the people who will lose their jobs. As Peter says, they likely be blackballed in the future. We can only hope that free speech returns to America someday.
PETER BRIMELOW: Why We’ve Suspended VDARE and I’ve Resigned After 25 Years pic.twitter.com/tnWSz3L0xs
— VDARE (@vdare) July 23, 2024
Reflecting on this obscene turn of events, Sam Dickson posted this poem by James Russell Lowell on an email list.
Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some new decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever ‘twixt that darkness and that light.
Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,—
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and ’tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside,
I hate that things have come to this. Using 20/20 hindsight, Vdare’s fatal mistake was incorporating in New York, thereby subjecting Vdare to the tender mercies of Letitia James- the allure of the ACELA Corridor proved irresistible to Peter, similar to the attraction of a moth to a flame. Amren almost made the same mistake, but saved itself when it discovered Montgomery Bell State Park in Tennessee just in the nick of time. Final analysis? -get the hell out of Blue State America while you still can! Hanging out with the hicks may not be so bad after all!
As Peter says, in 2001 no one had heard of lawfare.
The honorable Mr. Brimelow was already the “lonely voice crying in the desert” (John 1:23) 30 years ago, when it was at least still halfway permitted to speak the truth uncensored on TV from time to time, because “no prophet is ever welcome in his own country” (Luke 4:24).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrUS4G0deAA
Everything he clairvoyantly foretold came to pass, as we all know now. And so it is truly no coincidence that the “vibrant” office-abusing Letitia James and her “chosen” colleagues and backers made sure to shut down and financially ruin the honorable Sir Brimelow and his sincere fellow freedom fighters.
Today, it is very likely that no program would be introduced with a piece of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, but instead with deafening “rap”, and the presenter would probably not only be dark-skinned, but also homosexual.
Already 30 years ago, ordered claqueurs applauded the rabulistic pseudo-arguments of the hostile-destructive migration mafia (“The masses are stupid, lazy and cowardly,” Goebbels). Already the persecutor of Christians, Nero, was accompanied by an army of 5000 claqueurs.

Incidentally, applause in the form of collective hand clapping was invented in ancient Greece and is closely linked to European cultural history. It did not exist anywhere else in the world. In Greek mythology, there is a satyr, a hybrid being who lives with the muses on Mount Olympus and gives applause, i.e. claps. This satyr is called Krotos, and the word means “applause” in Greek.
But back to “Firing Line”: Chosen Botstein (“free trader”) in his prototypical attitude to the Non-chosen Stein (min. 1:45:48): “Why are you so frightened of immigration???” And where do we know this mendacious hypocrisy from again? Matthew 4:11: “Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple: ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down.”
As the mass invasion is a self-reinforcing principle, every voice on the
subject will fall silent in future or will only continue to be heard underground.
For the resolution: No Jew. Against the resolution: 3 Jews
(Sharry = Shabbos goy). This is definitely just another ex-
tremely rare cohencidence that has nothing to do with any-
thing at all. I expressly and urgently warn you not to make
the grave and unforgivable mistake of trying to read any anti-
Semitic tropes into it! Jews basically mean well with America,
there can be no doubt about that. Anyone who even dares
to question this should be severely punished and locked up!
https://i.ibb.co/X7FmzW8/migration.jpg
From a Jewish perspective, only their heritage can have value. Anything else is heresy. Gentiles are expected to be totally corrupt and devoid of dignity. They’re to be exploited and everything they hold sacred is to be ruined. That’s what it appears to mean to be Jewish. Maybe some are different. But it’s not that they’re a diversity cult or quite that they’re overly nationalist. In their view, only they have value. They are the special people; we exist without value.
This is exactly what is behind it: Character trait of psychopathy. The collective psychosis is incurable, in that the most psychopathic representatives always prevail. Jewry is a stress generator, a stress machine, a plague for the whole world. The world will never find peace and happiness because these creatures stand guard at the entrance as human-like bloodhounds. Who is surprised by efforts to get them out of the way? Only Zions completely brainwashed foot soldiers.

Here is an excerpt from an ad written by – wait for it – Trump hisself regarding the Central Park gang rape of 1989. And while I may have no use for Dondi, I like this anyway (from “give credit where it’s due”). Here goes:
Mayor [Ed] Koch has stated that hate and rancor should be removed from our hearts. I do not think so. I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence. Yes, Mayor Koch, I want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyze them or understand them, I am looking to punish them. If the punishment is strong, the attacks on innocent people will stop. I recently watched a newscast trying to explain “the anger in these young men.” I no longer want to understand their anger. I want them to understand our anger. I want them to be afraid.

By the way, vdare, as I understand it, is in a state of suspension. It has not been declared deceased and buried just yet.
Title of a NYTimes op-ed by their editorial board: “Russia Punishes Those Who Seek the Truth”
Vdare is/was kosher.
I wrote quite a bit on vdare, always about Jewish issues. Believe me, Peter B gets it.
I must have missed your articles. Was infuriating reading the constant black on White crime articles with no mention of names of all the subversive desert tribe owners of media who refused to cover these crimes.
VDare was too classically liberal. What I mean to say is it wasn’t perfect. Maybe funding will come along to rehire their people. Vdare was really good. I wasn’t subscribing when they closed, but I used to off and on. I learned a lot, but I prefer reading you. They undoubtedly have some excellent specialists who will hopefully be rehired and appreciated at some point.
Although I have donated to vdare, both recently and in the past, I have not spent much time digging into, or following the details of what is being done to them.
So, this might sound simplistic – but, would it not be possible to relocate to a friendlier red state and resume their operations under a new title and domain registration?
We are already in a red state. ID

By the way, yesterday I learned about the strange “transformation” of the Jewish doctor Bernard Nathanson, who legalized abortion in America (together with Jewish feminists like Betty Friedan). He ran one of the largest abortion clinics. He is even said to have aborted his own children.
But after his satanic work of shame, he underwent a miraculous ethical transformation, just like other destructive Jews such as Mr. Oppenheimer. Here in a dispute with his tribal brother Henry Morgenthaler (“Canada’s father of abortion”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-GY_hb3100
Finally, at the end of his earthly existence, he even allowed himself to be baptized a Catholic, of all people by a cardinal who was himself of Jewish origin and was considered a “friend of the Jews” (among other things because he described “anti-Semitism” as a “sin”).
Now I don’t want to rule out the possibility that there really are Jewish doctors with a conscience, as Mark Perlmutter has just proved with his shocking report from Gaza. In the White House, on the other hand, the satanic liar and mass murderer Nathanyahu receives non-stop standing ovations.
I read Nathanson’s book, Hand of God. He said that the problem with jews is that they were not jewish enough, i.e., religious, but if they (jewish doctors) were religious, they supposedly would be against abortion and Amerika would not have become a big time abortifying country. This implies that only gentile doctors would be doing abortions, I guess. I don’t know; read the book for yourself and see what you think.
My understanding is that Bernard Nathanson’s baptism was purely out of fear of a judgment day in the afterlife, though that is my own interpretation of the book.
Interesting info. I completely agree with your assessment. Another particularly glaring issue is the lack of fathers’ say in abortion. And then these criminal feminists still talk about patriarchy and discrimination. Best regards.
The problem lies not with the ruling class. It is the dumbed down masses who willingly put up with cognitive slippage, i.e. blathering of our rulers. We might just as wells learn a lot about self-delusion when reading Ovid’s Metamorphoses or from Odysseus crew turned into happy pigs by goddess Circe. His companions were mightily dissatisfied when their boss Odysseus restored their human shape. Many folks in the so-called free EU and US prefer piggish lifestyle wallowing in their own moral excrement. This was the case with the creature of “homo sovieticus” in E. Europe and the Soviet Union. Now is the turn of the US and its excessive “juridification” and endless lawfares.
William Luther Pierce complained bitterly and often about the dramatic decline in the quality of the American electorate, which he blamed not only on race, but also on the power of the opinion-forming mass media of news and entertainment, which had turned ‘democracy’ into a farce.
Pierce was a very perceptive man, and one could do worse than to spend time listening to his old American Dissident Voices broadcasts — there are archives available on the internet, or you can hear them on the 24/7 stream of the National Alliance.
OFF TOPIC (or maybe not).
I just wasted 3 hours of my life watching the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. 99% of the content ignored genuine ethnic French culture and probably the same portion of the participants in the nonstop, colorful, freakish entertainment were women and nonwhites. Maybe a few white men in there somewhere – possibly the guys operating the barges carrying the athletes were white.
Let’s cut to the chase, here, shall we…you would have to have a room-temperature IQ to not grasp the symbolism of the final hand-off of the olympic torch: a 100-year old white man in a wheelchair handed the flame to two young negroes, male & female, and those two lit the insanely extravagant cauldron.
Even the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony – and it was pretty bad – was less scornful and insulting. I can’t fathom what the 2028 Los Angeles games will be like, but I rather doubt there will be any LA left by that time. Or any USA, comes to that.
Here ya go: 100 year old former Olympian cyclist. Bet you thought I was exaggerating:

It hurt watching Peter in that video.
The main problem, among a ton of problems, seems to be incorporating in NY back when things weren’t so insane- how could they know what was coming?
Even though far from ideal, let’s hope Trump takes the office next year and starts the mass deportations that he’s talked about and also hope that these communists and Jews lose a lot of power.
They will stop at nothing to stop Trump and a very young Vance, and then continue to destroy this country. I’m really afraid they’re going to let the Chinese, or Russians, or both invade us. Who knows what they have up their sleeves.
Mass deportations aren’t needed so much as just removing the benefits and employment opportunities illegals have. Many illegals work in the US. E-verify and other tools should make that impossible.
A risk of deportations is the media could make them look harmful. Trump will have four years; a Dem will follow. We don’t want them back with open borders. Ideally you want to win over Dems to immigration reduction.
The US elite want to increase annual immigration, legally or illegally. They want 3 million or more annually. I forget the number Rubio ran on, but VDare people likely know it.
Even though it’s advantageous to have a large, independent middle class; immigration reduction will happen during a recession. So, worse can be better. Americans won’t care unless it’s apparent that immigrants are directly reducing their living standards. That is happening; There are many negatives, but most Americans don’t understand or believe it impacts them. Mass immigration also enriches many Americans. It provides inexpensive housekeepers, yardmen, meat processors, agricultural workers, etc. Society would be vastly better off without any immigration, but many benefit. You also have some degree of brain drain, with the US taking in, at times, some of the world’s best, who display immigrant vigor. However, it’s better to have a world of nations than one mixed society on top that everyone struggles to enter, leaving nation state husks brain drained like West Virginia.
Kevin- “As Peter says, no one in 2001 had heard of lawfare”- Au contrare- “Lawfare” has a long and distinguished lineage in America- Brown v. Topeka Bd. of Education was lawfare! The entire Civil Rights Movement was driven by lawfare.- it wasn’t until 1964 that legislation was added to the Jewish Left’s arsenal for effecting societal change- up to that point(1964 Civil Rights Act) all of the leftist change in America was accomplished by lawsuits.
It’s true that a kind of lawfare centered around the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which is like the Holy Bible for believers in the dogma/religion of racial egalitarianism) has been used to strip Americans of any right to free association.
I was very sad to hear the news about Vdare and Brimelow — I was a regular reader and donor for many years, and even had a couple of letters published.
But in recent years I became disenchanted — the last straw (so to speak) was Peter Brimelow suing the NYT for calling him a White Nationalist, an accusation he *specifically repudiated* in his legal filing, claiming he was a civic nationalist — I asked myself: what is the point of Vdare if not to preserve a white majority in America? — which is the essence of White Nationalism — but when Brimelow had the chance to courageously take up that torch (“), he failed — and note it did him (his lawsuit was dismissed) and Vdare no good at all, further verifying that you NEVER apologize, never give ground on the purpose of ‘patriotic immigration reform’, which is to save white America, or the ‘traditional American nation’, as I believe Brimelow and Vdare used to call it.
Rather than give millions to Trump, who is (worse than) useless on race, Musk should throw some cash to Vdare.
“I asked myself: what is the point of Vdare if not to preserve a white majority in America? — which is the essence of White Nationalism — but when Brimelow had the chance to courageously take up that torch (“), he failed — and note it did him (his lawsuit was dismissed) and Vdare no good at all…”
Bravo. He thought that if Vdare was just nice enough (deny any sympathy for white nationalism), all would turn out OK. SMH.
I believe the preferred buzzword is “white advocate.” Derbyshire’s wife is Asian I suppose, and they’ve had Marcus Epstein and others write.
VDare did a weird thing where they just posted a battle flag one time. They did try to be edgy, but they’ve never been a “strength through purity” group.
Vdare was still stuck with Tyrone and Gettysburg. Couldn’t adjust to the JQ and the huge demographics shift happening in America. They grew up during Jim Crow America where Jews are seen as White lite and the real fears was Black mobility.
Well now with Kanye and Candace being the leading voice in the right they feel out of place. Stuck with Black crime (which itself is a function of the cultural revolution) and race and IQ and the Bell Curve also authored by a radical Zionist.
Lol. They were Reaganite Goys.
I would assume black crime being to a large degree the effect of lover IQ and psychopath minds combined with little if any impulse control.
Certainly also the focus on “show off” fashion and accessories combined with huge egos and the average low IQ makes for the only way for most of them to achieve any money is crime. Here the low on average level of education and certainly also competition with regards to jobs, housing, cities and the like leads to the high level of crime due to the inability for most of them to compete without breaking the law i.e. do crime often hurting whites.
Black crime didn’t exist prior to the 70s. Show off culture included. All were part of the “cultural revolution” that people like Brimelow knew about but said nothing because he like the detrimental effect it had on the black community.
After all what else can he talk about.
African immigrants are doing much better than Whites in America. They are not a product of the cultural revolution.
Vdare really was stuck in the Civil War. It never accepted America of the 1876.
You are half right at most. It was Peter Brimelow who alerted literally millions of Americans to “the huge demographic shift happening in America” by means of his book “Alien Nation: Common Sense about America’s Immigration Disaster” (1995) and the score or more of related articles and print and broadcast interviews that he participated in at that time.
As for “couldn’t adjust to the JQ,” if you mean that Brimelow declined to publicly proclaim that wealthy, powerful, Christophobic Jews were the enablers and enactors of the immigration invasion, you are largely correct. On the other hand, if you think that the way things get done in the United States is by standing in the public square and shouting as loudly as you can for as long as you can, then you, for your part, have failed to notice that the rules for white people and the rules for blacks and Jews were rewritten almost a century ago—from at least the 1940s and perhaps earlier—so as to radically aggrandize the options of the latter at the expense of the former. Brimelow might not have pointed directly to the (((subverters))) whose thumb was on the scale, but he certainly never wept in sympathy with their charade of suffering.
Peter Brimelow isn’t perfect—I’m not; are you?—but for roughly sixty years he worked to preserve this country for the white Christian descendants of the people who founded it from the hostile anti-white, anti-Christian, Jewish-invited hordes whose invasion’s total success is already in sight. What is more, he fought altruistically, at enormous personal and professional cost to himself and his children.
Whatever their differences at the margins and however discrepant their strategies and tactics occasionally were, Peter Brimelow and Kevin MacDonald are alike in their loyalty to the genetic and cultural past that shaped them and in their devotion to truth.
One problem is how VDare didn’t appreciate enough the concerns of young whites. We need young white men to have job opportunities which enable large families. Too often “conservatives” focus on the interests of old white men, who have largely already had their kids. VDare was also too much a believer in the market god. Brimelow seems to be a brilliant manager (good with people and money) and a skilled writer. He’s extremely capable, but he’s not an ideas person, not regarding political ideas. He was too much a product of his time.
We need more “populism” that serves the interests of young white men, to enable large families. I like, for example, UBI. Ron Unz likes a higher minimum wage. I’d of course like to do away with social security, but old people like it overmuch. There are a variety of topics related to this like protectionist trade (which can entice immigration but also protect industry) and breaking up monopolies, which might not always be best. These can be difficult topics with arguments on all sides, but the focus should be on those young whites and how they can be encouraged to have white children. Demographics is destiny.
You say this, yet you do not appear to be familiar with more than one argument regarding each topic you mention. Perhaps that explains why your comments about Peter Brimelow and the significance of his work are so shallow and shortsighted.
Brimelow is a legend. I only intended constructive feedback. Maybe we’ll get a VDare 2.0 that’s better than ever. I was really happy when I saw he had more kids. I have donated and subscribed in the past, though I’ve never been significant.
I sometimes hear how there’s a need for podcasts with young white men to appeal to the young. However, I really think we need a change in ideas that better appeals and better applies.
Opposing the managerial state via decentralisation is another aim. It’s not just enabling men to have families when young but empowering them via decentralisation (small businesses and possibly other structures where size is inevitable). Sailer used to write how moving to the suburbs and having kids made one conservative, and he wrote, I think, how working for big companies made one cosmopolitan, especially when urban. Well, a risk in US society is the good jobs will be held by these managerial machines which are directed by the left and squeeze the rest of the economy, leaving low pay for the rest. It’s really interesting. You have Dr. Gottfried who used to argue how cities enabled professional groups to arise, an argument for the urban life. I want to say he wanted cultural and intellectual groups in cities.
When writing on someone else, it can be extremely difficult. Sailer once wrote on US “citizenism,” which I found interesting, but he’s associated with the “Sailer strategy” which as I vaguely recall is about appealing to white voters. Old whites will vote more often due to age, and there are more white voters in the US. My point: You can associate multiple things with Sailer, or likely Brimelow, due to his variety of articles.
Anyway, another key point is protecting against doxxing. Nick Griffin elsewhere argued to take up jobs where doxxing isn’t as much of a concern. However, that means giving up powerful positions, and these less important jobs could be squeezed into the cities.
I mention UBI above; many argue it would be given to the favourites of the elite. So, it would be bad according to these people.
Regarding monopolies, Paul Craig Roberts wrote not long ago against breaking up AT&T, which really surprised me. I miss seeing articles like the famous Sam Francis one against secession at AmRen. I still like secession, and I’m so grateful to him for taking the other side. There’s nothing more wonderful than discovering a powerful counter argument.
I wasn’t around when Brimelow first made his impact. So, I don’t appreciate him the way others do. We’re each a product of our time. I just felt like he’s dated, that we need better ideas. Classical liberalism seems to empower employers who then import cheap workers as slave holders imported slaves. I just sometimes feel compelled to post criticism, but I sincerely intend it constructively however appropriate or otherwise my posts may be.
Weaver- “we need more populism to serve the interests of young white men, to enable them to have large families’ Old men can have children too-and large families later in life.- Peter is exhibit 1 for that! “Menopause” is a misnomer- men don’t have it- it should be called “Womenopause”.
