VDare founder Brimelow throwing in the towel but not his millions of donations or his castle
It looks like VDare, the suspiciously funded, one-string-guitar anti-immigrant site, has succumbed to "lawfare" attacks and is shutting down after a number of years I can't be bothered to look up.
The Brimelows, it seems, were not ready to put the literally millions of dollars they have acquired from dubious dark money donations into the battle to keep their low-powered and rather boring site in existence.

Newsweek has a version of events for its normie readers:
"Peter Brimelow is blaming New York Attorney General Letitia James for the closure of his digital publication, VDARE. James alleges that VDARE violated state law when it purchased the Berkeley Springs castle in West Virginia for $1.4 million without a loan, according to a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a nonprofit organization specializing in civil rights, and that Brimelow misused nonprofit resources by living on castle grounds for years. The VDARE Foundation purchased the castle in 2020. At the time, Brimelow told Herald Mail Media that plans included using the castle privately and potentially opening it up for special events.However, now VDARE plans to shutter its website.'VDARE's been murdered by the New York State Attorney General Letitia James,' Brimelow said in the Tuesday video. 'She's not charged us with anything, it's important to note, she's simply battered us to death with an enormous, ongoing, intrusive, quote-unquote, investigation.'"
Yes, Peter, spare us the tedious details. Almost as boring as the VDare site itself (although we occasionally enjoyed John Derbyshire's podcasts!).
What we know about Brimelow, his connections, and his funding flags up as a possible Kremlin polarisation op. See more here.
The ongoing lawfare against the site at the state level looks more like a Deep-State-on-Deep-State thing than anything else. Although why the US Deep State is wasting valuable lawfare energy trying to shut down this moribund asset is anyone's guess.

According to Derbyshire’s website, he’s seeking a new host for the Radio Derb podcast. It was already bloody annoying having to stream it directly from Vdare after he was booted off of various mainstream hosting platforms last year.

DeleteLike Takimag, Vdare is so 2010s. There was a time and a place for it, but now just feels like a relic from another era.
