the large black woman who has been pursuing the orange man is after other large players who commit thought crimes, soviet style;

“The Land the Law Forgot,” is what liberal legal scholar Jonathan Turley called New York in June. Oh, it’s not that it doesn’t have laws; it’s got so many, in fact, that studies found it to be our country’s least free state. It’s that N.Y.’s supposed law enforcers are ideological enforcers, using and going beyond the Empire State’s surfeit of strictures to build an empire of left-wing conformity.

Letitia James’ Vendetta

And now Letitia James, the notorious N.Y. attorney general who tag-teamed with a judge to try to pummel former President Donald Trump, has claimed another scalp: nonprofit anti-(destructive)immigration entity VDARE, which, after three years of lawfare attacks, is going to be suspending operations. The kicker:

James has not charged VDARE with anything, says site founder Peter Brimelow.

So this goes beyond even Stalin secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria’s vow, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

It’s “Show me the man and I’ll show you the process-is-punishment lawfare method.”

Multifaceted Attacks

Yet VDARE’s story is even more troubling than the above suggests. Also a victim of what Brimelow calls a “de facto ‘Social Credit’ system,” the organization has been subject to financial-arena and business-realm “cancellation” that have made survival difficult even aside from the lawfare attacks. (It’s part of a wider effort to “defund” patriotic, virtue-oriented voices.)

More bizarrely still, VDARE has been targeted with what Brimelow describes as cyberattacks so “extraordinary” that they’ve “baffled” the site’s techies. How’s that for “weird,” to use the term the mainstream media are now tarring Republicans with, all while ignoring the profoundly weird and newsworthy VDARE story?

The irony is that the organization’s problems started because of cancel culture in the first place. That is, since hotels kept canceling VDARE’s meeting bookings — an increasingly common experience for conservatives — it purchased a $1.4 million West Virginia castle as a conference space. Yet this acquisition was then used as a pretext to go after the site, with a legal case that appeared “to hinge on whether or not the founders of VDARE use[d] it as their personal dwelling,” as The American Conservative’s Christopher Brunet reported in April.

No Crime

If there were any “there” there, however, wouldn’t VDARE have been charged with a crime? Yet despite this not happening, the site has been, wrote Brunet earlier this year (his quoted material is from VDARE), forced to fight..........more..........
