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.
