(Except that James has decided—unusually but with characteristic viciousness—to proceed also against Lydia and myself personally. Anyone who knows the hell that is the American legal system knows this means that, even if we prevail, our family will quite probably be bankrupted).

The point here: James could have filed her Complaint against us at least three years ago.

But then she would have not have been able to inflict upon the VDARE Foundation the seven-figure “investigation” costs that drove us to suspend the VDARE.com website last year.

Still, I can’t resist noting one new ludicrous twist: James now claims that we spent “thousands of dollars” on [unspecified] “club memberships.”

BUT, DESPITE THE CRUDE INSINUATION, THESE “CLUB MEMBERSHIPS” WERE NOT MAR-A-LAGO or whatever that golf club is that Trump has up in New Jersey.

The only “clubs” I belonged to in this period were Paul Gottfried’s H.L. Mencken Club, now sadly defunct, and the impeccably Con. Inc Philadelphia Society. (I’ll be at its McLean, VA conference September 19-20!)

Their dues together probably don’t exceed $500.

Why doesn’t Letitia James’ Complaint lay that out?

Needless to say, the Complaint nowhere acknowledges that we were forced to buy the Castle to have a conference venue, after more than a dozen hotels had cancelled our conference bookings and it became clear that none would stand up to communist pressure.

Nor of course does the Complaint acknowledge that I was running a website that posted every day, multiple times a day, and that Lydia was now also locked into a constant battle to stop the Castle from falling down

Instead, it insinuates we were just sitting around drinking tea.

But perhaps more interesting to everyone other than us: the blatant Main Stream Media collusion between the New York State Attorney General’s Office.

For example, our lawyer received notification of Letitia James’ Complaint at 12:33 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3. We got New York Times’ writer David Farentholdt’s detailed demands for a response at 12:40 p.m. Had he already read the 55-page document?

Incredibly, Grok thinks Farenthold’s article was actually published at 12:35 p.m.

It has become standard for Regime Media propagandists to put in pro forma requests for comment when their story is already written. But this is the first time I’ve seen a request after the story is published.

Quite obviously, the entire Leftosphere was alerted by the NYAG. Within the hour, we received many such queries:

Amazing how they all say the same thing simultaneously—and so fast!

But we were just out, dammit. We have children and stuff to do.

Note, however, that there was absolutely no non-Leftist coverage of the NYAG’s attack on us.

Indeed, since that first frenzied hour, our media queries have completely ceased.

In other words, we have received absolutely no queries from “conservative” media—not from the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Fox, Breitbart, Daily Caller, National Review (ha!), let alone the entire e-universe of Dissident Right Influencers.

Nor, of course, any invitations to defend ourselves.

This is particularly strange given Letitia James’ utter discrediting by the Trump fraud fiasco and her 40-year mortgage malfeasance.

Is it something I did?
