My heart bleeds for them (no it doesn’t).

“Four years after purchasing a castle in rural West Virginia intended as their headquarters, the white nationalist outlet VDARE has said that an investigation by New York Attorney General (AG) Letitia James has ‘crucified’ the site and left it ‘on life support.’”

What We Know About the VDARE Legal Situation That They Say ‘Finished’ Them (Southern Poverty Law Center, June 20, 2024)

Huh. I missed it that the New York Attorney General was going after Peter Brimelow’s racist outfit.

A New York state judge in March found the VDARE Foundation, the nonprofit organization that owns and operates the digital publication VDARE (dot) com, in civil contempt for failing to produce hard copy and electronic files related to an AG investigation into the group’s business practices. The ruling has required VDARE to pay a $250-per-day fine, totaling over $20,000 as of June 17, until the group complies with a subpoena that the AG issued in 2022. Brimelow announced the court’s decision in a March 29 post on VDARE’s website, in which the group’s logo, a white doe, is depicted as wearing a crown of thorns like the one the Bible says Jesus Christ wore when he was crucified.

“To hell with Letitia James,” VDARE’s founder Peter Brimelow, 76, said during the group’s annual conference, where multiple speakers expressed concerns about possible political repression and civilizational collapse. VDARE hosted the event, which took place on April 26-28, at a castle it has owned since 2020 in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, a town located approximately two hours outside Washington, D.C.

The AG has alleged that VDARE “violated New York law” after it purchased the Berkeley Springs castle for $1.4 million without the help of a loan, as Hatewatch previously reported. Among the possible instances of misconduct that the AG identified is the fact that Peter and Lydia Brimelow, 39, who are the married couple behind VDARE, have misused nonprofit resources by residing on castle grounds since March 2020, per court records and multiple people-finding databases.
