VDARE SITE TO CLOSE BECAUSE OF NY STATE PROSECUTION OF FREE SPEECH

The VDARE site is being shut down due to the actions of the NY State Democrats, and especially Atty Gen. Letitia James, who is also among the many Democrats prosecuting former President Donald Trump.  They do not want an opposition party to exist.  They do not want free speech to criticize their policies.  They do  not want to allow anyone to contend elections are stolen.  They do not want Brimelow to continue to criticize the Democrats open border policies on immigration.  If you do criticize them, your site is not #1 when you google it - that spot goes to the Southern Poverty Law Center to warn you not to read the VDARE site..  And read below on what NY is doing to the leader of VDARE. ---Hugh Murray   The following comes from VDARE

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes:

I launched VDARE.com on Christmas Eve 1999. So it is perhaps appropriate that, on Good Friday 2024, the anniversary of Christ’s death,  I must announce VDARE.com’s crucifixion by New York State’s communist Attorney General Letitia James.

 

On March 27 2024, in another of her lightning-fast NYAG James-compliant rulings, New York State Supreme Court Judge Sabrina Kraus held us in Contempt  Of Court because we have not yet complied (because we were fighting it) with her January 23 2023 order that we meet NYAG James’ massive and crippling subpoena demands.

Judge Kraus did modify her earlier order to reflect the intervention (much appreciated) of the Institute for Free Speech. So now we no longer have to reveal, explicitly, the names of our pseudonymous writers, some of whom would certainly be fired from their jobs if their identities leaked.

But we are still required to review 40 gigabytes of emails, an enormous amount. And of course these would  in fact reveal the names of those pseudonymous writers, as well as our donors, privileged communications with lawyers etc.

Judge Kraus has also now allowed us to redact these emails. But this is a huge task, which our lawyers estimate could cost as much as $150,000.

An observer tells us this order is more typical of major corporate litigation, not a tiny charity.

And, perversely, although Judge Kraus has now modified her January 23 2023 order, she is nevertheless now fining us $250 a day for not complying with it.

We have fought NYAG Letitia James, at a cost of up to $1 million, for nearly three years. But now we are literally hanging on the cross.

REMEMBER, VDARE.com HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH ANYTHING—BECAUSE IT IS NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING.

FROM RT - A HERO OF THE MOSCOW TERROR ATTACK - THE 15-YEAR-OLD WHO SAVED 100, NAME: ISLAM KHALILOV

Hero teen helped over 100 to safety during Moscow terrorist attack

Islam Khalilov, who worked part-time at the Crocus City Hall, led panicked concertgoers to safety amid Friday’s shooting spree
Hero teen helped over 100 to safety during Moscow terrorist attack

A teenager who led over 100 people to safety during Friday’s terrorist attack at a Moscow concert hall, has been hailed as a hero. 15-year-old Islam Khalilov, who worked part-time in one of the cloakrooms at Crocus City, recounted the events of the tragic evening to the Ruptly video agency.

The concert venue situated just outside of Moscow was packed ahead of a performance by the Russian rock band Picnic, when a group of terrorists armed with assault rifles forced their way into the building. They fired indiscriminately at fleeing people and then set the concert hall on fire.

According to the latest estimates, the attack has claimed the lives of at least 137 people, with about 180 injured.

Khalilov told the video agency that “it was when people started running from the escalator, from the stairway” that he realized that an emergency was occurring. The teenager said that he was acting on “instincts” at the time and used his thorough knowledge of the premises to quickly arrange visitors’ evacuation toward another building within the Crocus City complex.

“I started shouting all across the foyer, all across Crocus City Hall - ‘Folks, there’s a shooting! All run to the expo!’ – and I was showing where they had to go and was helping everyone,” he explained.

According to the cloakroom attendant, “there was a stampede, and everyone was in shock at first. No one knew what to do and where to go.”

Khalilov added that he himself was running behind the entire group to make sure he had not left anyone behind.

The teenager admitted to being “really scared” all along, but still managed to make the right use the instructions he’d previously been given on how to evacuate patrons in case of an emergency.

He told Ruptly that, at one point, he had caught a glimpse of one of the terrorists.

“I saw one, [he was] bearded and in green fatigues, he was walking around with an assault rifle,” the teenager recounted.

He also recalled seeing a man getting fatally shot by one of the assailants, adding that he “can’t stop thinking about it.”

The 15-year-old said he doesn’t consider himself a hero, and that he was just doing his job.

Explaining what helped him overcome fear, Khalilov reasoned that “It’s better to sacrifice yourself than to let a hundred people die.”

After Khalilov’s feat had been reported-on by several Russian media outlets, his favorite football club, FC Spartak Moscow, invited him to a meeting where he was presented with free passes to their matches.

Popular Russian rap artist Morgenstern said he had transferred 1,000,000 rubles ($11,000) to the teenager – something that Khalilov has confirmed to media.

The leader of Russia's Muslims, Mufti Ravil Guynutdin, has announced that Khalilov would receive a medal for his bravery.


CHANGES IN US CENSUS, AND IN AFFIRMATIVE/NEGATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS

 The US Census added some new racial categories, and I made 2 comments.  The second by me is a reply to an earlier poster, who used the name "identical," quoted a statement by a physical anthropologists' organization, one with which that poster agreed.I disagreed with both the poster "Identical" and the anthropological organization he quoted.  As I was not on my computer till late the following morning, I was  too late for much debate on the Newser comment sites.  Hugh Murray

All of this appeared on Newser.

My post:

So, should Jews put down Middle East? The main reason to redefine North African and Middle Eastern, when individuals identify themselves as white, as they might do under the present census definitions, they suddenly face the intense anti-white discrimination imposed by the EEOC and other enforcers of "civil rights," making it much more difficult for "whites" to get jobs and promotions. Now, many "whites" can evade that category.  Legally, they will not have to identify themselves as whites, the most hated category in the new type racist America. Ironically, those Middle Easterners from the Caucasus region is where we get the word Caucasian, meaning the white race. Iranians were known for thousands of years as Persians, but in the Nazi influenced 1930s. tp show that Persians were not Semites, they changed the name of their country to Iran, for they were Aryans. How sad, that the Nazi stress on race and giving race preferences and rewards in the Reich, now occurs daily in the US, the stress on race and giving preferences ("equity") to some, while denying equal rights to others - like white men.

" Identical' had a post to which I replied:  Basically he contended that all the differences between and among races are superficial; we are all one race.  My reply:

Politically correct BS. In medicine, dosages, and remedies these may vary by race, along with problems, diseases and susceptibility to such diseases.. Scientists studying old bones can often identify the sex and race of their owners. The new, politically correct anthropologists may seek to prevent such identification, for it implies the reality of races.  The only reason for such BS attempts to obscure the issue, is that often the common stereotypes of race ARE BASED ON THE BEHAVIOR OF THE GROUPS BEING SO GENERALIZED! Are we not to use our minds to generalize? Apples that look a certain way are often soft, mushy, mealy. Apples that appear another way are more likely to be firmer, sweeter. But liberal scientists, being far more liberal than scientific, try to distort reality by pretending all apples are the same, identical.  In the market, they are apples, but some are fresher, some have been bruised, and you search for the  one you think will taste best, based on your experience.  When Jesse Jackson heard steps behind him on a secluded street one night, he looked behind him and was relieved to see they were young white guys.  Racist?  No, facing reality.  And when objective exams appear to show racial differences in IQ, crime statistics indicate vast difference in criminal behavior of different races, etc. some "scientists" try to hide, obscure, or explain away such differences, or pretend they are insignificant.  Are they?  Are all races identical?  Should they be treated equally?  In a color blind society?  Or with equity?  Giving preferences to those who generally do poorly?

After another attack on that site, I replied on 30 March at 2:30 CDT. -
Iran meaning of the Aryans goes back to the 3rd century, but it did not become the name of the country until Nazi German began to make a big deal of Aryans and Semites. A long time from the 200s AD until the 1930s. All that time known as Persia. Middle East? The Ottomans ruled the Middle East, but just where does it begin and end? Were not Caucasian lands included at various times? Like the Far East, these were fluid terms, that could include this or that land, depending upon who was using the term. Russias borders have shrunk and expanded, as have many lands over time. Will the Census demand that Armenians declare themselves white, or can they claim to be Middle Eastern? Same for Azerbaijanis? The point of the Biden census is to free many people for the intense discrimination of having them classified as whites.

MORE THOUGHTS ON COMMUNIST INFLUENCE IN AMERICA

My previous post on CP influence in the US, brought a few more questions to mind.

1)  Martin Luther King, Jr., was gaining importance in the civil rights movement, and one of his chief advisors was Stanley Levison.  Both Pres. Kennedy and Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy told King to drop Levison, stay away from him because he was a suspected subversive.  King lied, said he would do so, and then continued to remain in contact with his friend and advisor.  Let that seep in.  The President of the US urges King to avoid any more contact with a communist, and King listens, and then ignores/defies the wishes of the leaders of the American government.  King's action speaks - asserting his own independence, and his willingness to hear, confide, befriend, and consider the advise of a possible communist.  What would you do if the President urged you to drop connections with a friend?

2)  In the previous post I mentioned scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project.  What inspired that project?  Who inspired it?  Refugee scientists were worried when they learned that European scientists were moving ahead with discoveries that might lead to an atomic bomb for the Nazi regime in Germany.  Some urged famed scientist, Albert Einstein, to write to President Franklin Roosevelt about the danger if German developed such a weapon, and urged him to promote development of an American weapon.  From this, the Manhattan Project emerged.  We know that Oppenheimer was eventually selected to be the lead scientist on this project.  Why Oppenheimer?  Why NOT Einstein?  Einstein was German, but not loyal the the anti-Jewish Nazi regime.  Indeed, the Nazis had enacted laws removing the citizenship of Jewish Germans.  Einstein had left for a post at Princeton even before Hitler had gained full power.  But Einstein was a left-winger.  He was not considered for the Manhattan Project because he was a security risk.  Yet, Oppenheimer, whose wife was a member of the CP, whose brother was a member of the CP, whose mistress was a member of the CP, and who according to authorities Harvey Klehr and John Earl Haynes, Oppenheimer himself was also a member of the Communist Party in the late 1930s, IS chosen as the lead scientist for the project.  Seems there should be more to this story.

FROM MY FORTHCOMING BOOK - HUGH MURRAY

What do Claude McKay, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Paul Robeson, Lorraine Hansberry, Bayard Rustin, W. E. B. Du Bois, Mrs. Raymond Parks,, and Martin Luther King, Jr. all have in common? Yes, they were all blacks, or Negroes as the more common term used in the earlier era. And many would have had other common experiences, but one I want to stress here – they were all, at some point in their lives, in the orbit of the Communist Party of the USA. My point is that the CPUSA, though a small political party, had influence far beyond its numbers, which at its height, was only 100,000. McKay, a West Indian native who came to the US, in November 1922 traveled to Moscow to present “A Report on the Negro Question” to the 4th gathering of the Comintern (the Communist International). His bitter poem, “If we must die,” had stirred black reaction to continued oppression following victory in the Great War, the war to save the world for democracy. His novels explored race and he then became something of a black nationalist. Four years before his death in 948, Mc Kay was baptized and received into the Roman Catholic Church.

Langston Hughes also wrote some bitter poetry, like “Christ is a n*****,” and a play about the Scottsboro boys facing electrocution because of false accusations of rape in Alabama in the 1930s. Even earlier, in the 1920s Hughes partook in a sit-in in North Carolina. But by the late 1940s, he is denying any connections to the CP. Author Richard Wright, who had portrayed some individual communists heroes in his novels, turned against the party and its ideology, even contributing a chapter to the influential, strongly anti-communist collection, The God that Failed. Robeson had been an all-American football player for Rutgers University in the 19teens while excelling in academia, graduating cum laude. He then earned a law degree from Columbia U., while playing in early professional football leagues. Robeson found limitations in the legal field; he had a bass/baritone voice and sang professionally, performed in the theater more and more, and then in films, singing “Ol Man River” in the 1935 film version of Show Boat. He and his wife lived in Britain as he performed on the stage there, and in British films, where, ruling half of Africa, they wanted films with black stars – and Robeson became one. He met and befriended some film extras, African university students studying in the U.K. But he did not forget America. Robeson and a student, Johnstone Kenyatta, headed the British Scottsboro Defence Committee in Britain. (Somewhat later, Johnstone would later return to his homeland, become known as Jomo, and lead the Mau Mau rebellion against the British in Kenya.) Robeson himself became more political and decided it best if his son grew up without racism, so Paul sent his son to live with his grandmother in Moscow in the late 1930s. The father generally defended anti-colonialist policies, and supported Soviet approaches into the 1940s and during the Cold War.

Lorraine Hansberry used a line from a Hughes' poem as the title of her major play (and film), A Raisin in the Sun. She also wrote for Freedom, the Harlem newspaper founded by Robeson during the Cold War. She became a spokesperson for Southern civil rights activists, when she, other celebrities, and activist Jerome Smith met with Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy in the early 1960s. Bayard Rustin, from a Quaker family, opposed the war clouds brewing in the late 1930s. When Nazi Germany attacked Poland (usually given as the start of WWII), while most of the West and many Americans supported Britain and the other “democracies,” the CPUSA followed the notions of Moscow, refusing to support the imperialist, colonialist powers (Britain, France, Netherlands, Belgium, and America). To the pacifist, Ruston, this seemed reasonable, and he joined thethen  anti-war Young Communist League. In summer 1941 Hitler attacked the USSR, and suddenly communist policy changed – the “imperialist” powers had to be helped as allies in order to destroy Nazi fascism, the old popular front with liberal democracy was revived to defeat Hitler. The YCL now became all out for support of war, and Rustin ceased to be a part of it. He would continue to protest in various ways, and eventually organize the influential 1963 March on Washington.

Du Bois had supported the drums of the Great War, but soon discovered that Wilson's notion of democracy did not extend to black people. The new NAACP gave him a platform, and provided some national center to fight violent and overt racism. The organization's magazine, The Crisis, was edited by Du Bois, and he wrote much of the material as well. Still, the virulently black nationalist Universal Negro Improvement Assn., founded by a very black Marcus Garvey, won a larger following than did the proper middle-class NAACP. Worse, Garvey made deals with the growing Ku Klux Klan, supported segregation, and even championed a return of Negroes to Africa. Du Bois was certainly not chagrined when the US deported Garvey. In the 1930s Du Bois was critical of the CP, especially in its defense of the Scottsboro boys. Du Bois had hoped to regain control of the defense from the CP, but the boys and their moms chose the communists instead of the NAACP. Du Bois traveled in Germany in the 1930s, and had kind words for the people of color of imperial Japan. But with WWII, he became more anti-imperialist, and certainly more skeptical of the Missouri Democrat, Harry Truman, who became President opon FDR's death in spring 1945. Truman, who had a Confederate heritage, was close to leading segregationists like South Carolina's Jimmy Burns, whom Truman appointed as Sed. of State.  But in 1948, hoping to win another term in office, Truman began to seek black votes, addressed the NAACP, the first President to do so. When Du Bois refused to support Truman and backed a previous FDR VP, Henry Wallace for President in 1948 against Truman, the NAACP fired Du Bois. With that, the NAACP in effect, became a Democratic party front-group.  Truman got further revenge when his Atty. General had Du Bois arrested as a foreign agent in 1950. Just before Du Bois chose to leave the US for the Gold Coast, now independent Ghana, he joined the CPUSA.  Ironically, Du Bois, who had opposed Garvey's Back to Africa campaign of the 1920s, became the most prominent American black to return to Africa in 1961.

Rosa Mc Cauley married Raymond Parks, a barber in Montgomery, Alabama in 1932. The Scottsboro rape cases had become international news, thanks to the International Labor Defense, a CP front organization. Alabama authorities had raided some CP attempts to organize share croppers into unions, and sheriffs and deputies and some of their posses had killed those who dared attend such subversive meetings. Raymond worked with the ILD to bring food and fresh clothing to the 9 jailed black boys. He also had meetings at his home. Rosa was sometimes look-out to warn if any strange cars were coming. With her husband, Rosa Parks also attended some CP meetings.

In 1948 the civil rights movement in the South WAS the Henry Wallace Progressive Party. The 1948 PP was endorsed by the CPUSA. That year, Virginia Durr ran for the US Senate from Virginia on the PP ticket. She and her husband were Alabama natives who had moved to the Washington area when Clifford was appointed to a federal agency in 1933, and they remained during the New Deal era. When FDR sought to gain support in the South (after many in Congress had rejected his court-packing bill), the New Deal sought to promote uplift to the South, the poorest part of the nation. As part of this effort, Eleanor Roosevelt was also involved in the creation of the Southern Conference on Human Welfare, and Virginia Durr was on its civil rights committee. Of course, to many Southerners, integration was communism, or often called race-mixing or mongrelization. Harry Truman's Attorney General would place the SCHW on his list of subversive organizations, so it would be targeted for destruction. Durr did not the Virginia Senate seat she sought. She and Clifford then returned to Alabama, Montgomery. She required a seamstress to help, and then she helped the seamstress get a scholarship to Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, a “progressive” school where one might learn about protest. So seamstress Rosa Parks went. The rest is history.

Martin Luther King, Jr. also attended Highlander. There was a famous photograph taken of him seated beside a member of the CPUSA. If you drove through the South in the 1950s or 60s, you might have seen the bill boards showing King at the "communist" training school. (They may have been the same bill boards that had earlier displayed IMPEACH EARL WARREN signs after the Supreme Court ruled against segregation of the public schools. King was a young minister, thrust into the fire of the Montgomery bus boycott, with all its dangers. If there were threats, there was also help, and one helper became one of King's chief advisors, Stanley Levison. According to the FBI, Levison was s secret member of the CPUSA, and handled some of its hidden funds. Levison was now fund-raising for King. More, he was advising on tactics, writing some of King's speeches, perhaps chapters of his books. Both Pres. John Kennedy and Atty . Gen. Robert Kennedy told (ordered) King to break with Levison. King lied, said he had split with his advisor, but King maintained his contact with the controversial, and quite influential Stanley Levison.


CAN THERE BE ANY DOUBT THAT THE CPUSA HAS HAD GREAT INFLUENCE ON AMERICA?


It was not only blacks who were swayed by the CP. For whites, I shall mention only one name of a person involved in the communist orbit. Some disagree.  However, his wife was a member of the CP; his mistress was also a member of the CP, and his brother was a member of the CP.  Was he in the orbit of the Communist Party?  The man I am referring to is J. Robert Oppenheimer.  With a wife, mistress, and brother all party members, did that color his thinking closer to red?  Moreover, according to an article in the September 2023 Commentary magazine, "Oppenheimer Was a Communist," by Harvey Klehr and John Earl Haynes, not only did J. Robert contribute healthy sums to communist front organizations in the 1930s, they contend that he himself was also a member.  Then, which is it; CP leaders told him to drop out of the organization, for he might have to pass an important security check?  Or he heard of the major scientific project, and on his own, decided to keep a distance from the CP?  He did pass the test, and was soon working in the Manhattan Project.  The rest is history, and a movie.
