Fight The Cultural Marxist Reign Of Terror—Give (Tax-Deductibly) To The John Derbyshire Fund!

Toby, the Derbyshire Family Dog

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR DERB FANS--It’s now five years since John Derbyshire came to VDARE.com, after being stabbed in the back by a panicking National Review during the Trayvon Martin hysteria (the great elite Political Correctness witch hunt prior to Charlottesville—remember?). Derbyshire is the George Orwell of our age. It is an honor to run him. But we were able to support Derb—not enough!—because at that point we had cash on hand. Since then, corporate Cultural Marxism has deprived VDARE.com of our Amazon Affiliate and Google Adsense relationships, both significant earners. Additionally, our ability to process credit card donations through PayPal was just cancelled without notice. Fortunately, we already had a back-up credit card system ready for when PayPal caved. And our heroic readers, who know exactly what is going on, have rallied round. But Derb needs your help—now.

You can donate (tax-deductibly) in several ways. For online or mail-in donations, please scroll down to the form below. Make sure that however you donate, you direct it straight to Derb, either by selecting “make a contribution to author” followed by “the John Derbyshire Fund,” or noting it on your check, or emailing lbrimelow@vdare.com.

PLEASE NOTE: All our recurring donations, including those earmarked for John Derbyshire, were killed when PayPal canceled us. Recurring donations are the backbone of our financial planning and are ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED.

ALL MONEY DONATED TO THE JOHN DERBYSHIRE FUND GOES TO SUPPORT JOHN DERBYSHIRE’S WRITING.

America is in the midst of an unprecedented Reign Of Terror, designed to crush all opposition to the Totalitarian Left’s agenda—above all to its Electing A New People through immigration policy before the Historic American Nation wakes up. The Democratic Party, and much of the GOP Establishment, is in tacit agreement. The only way you can continue to hear voices like that of John Derbyshire is to give generously now!—WHILE YOU CAN.

We will all (including the Derbyshire’s dog, Toby) be most grateful.

Sincerely, Peter Brimelow

Before I proceed to the week's news, permit me please to glance back over the past month, and to make an appeal for your support.

Christmas came early for the Southern Poverty Law Center this year. Following the August 12th riot in Charlottesville, Va. — a riot that began when police were stood down so that Antifa thugs could freely assault peaceful demonstrators expressing unpopular opinions — donations have been pouring in to the SPLC.

From the Washington Free Beacon, August 31st:

Apple CEO Tim Cook told his employees that the company is donating $1 million to the SPLC and would match employee contributions two to one. Cook also placed an SPLC donation button in its iTunes store. The company is additionally providing a $1 million donation to the Anti-Defamation League.J.P Morgan Chase vowed to add a $500,000 donation for the group's "work in tracking, exposing, and fighting hate groups and other extremist organizations."

Southern Poverty Law Center Transfers Millions in Cash to Offshore Entities, by Joe Schoffstall

Unknown numbers of other corporations and individuals have been sending money to the SPLC this past three weeks. As I said, an early Christmas for the enemies of "Hate."

Where does all that money go? Well, a lot of it goes to Caribbean tax havens. Further from the Free Beacon:

SPLC transferred $960,000 in cash on Nov. 24, 2014 to Tiger Global Private Investment Partners IX, L.P, its records show.

That's an investment fund in the Cayman Islands. More from the Free Beacon:

On March 1, 2015, SPLC sent $2,200,000 to an entity incorporated in [the] Cayman Islands, according to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) records … Another $2,200,000 cash transfer was made on the same day to another fund whose business is located at the same address as the previous fund in the Cayman Islands, according to SEC records.

(Point of privilege: the existence of the SPLC’s offshore accounts was first reported by VDARE.com’s Patrick Cleburne back in 2010).

These guys have some serious money: on their 2015 tax form, the latest available, they show more than $50 million in contributions and $328 million in net assets.

I guess it's expensive, fighting "Hate." They have to provide legal services to oppressed minorities facing racist judges and juries and lying police officers, right? That must cost a ton of money, seeing how much "hate" there is around the country.

Surprising to see, then, that the SPLC's tax returns show an outlay of only $61,000 for legal services. That compares with $20 million in salaries for the staff of 75 lawyers.

How on earth did this cynical money racket win the affections of huge, powerful enterprises like Apple and J.P. Morgan? As rich as the SPLC is, Apple is richer by a couple of orders of magnitude. Couldn't Tim Cook have had his people look into their affairs before sending a million bucks their way?

There are two schools of thought concerning the answers to that question: the Bubble School and the Shakedown School.

The Bubble School notes that Silicon Valley, where Tim Cook and other Apple execs live and work, is an upper-middle-class bubble. There are few blacks — less than two percent, mostly middle-management types — and little crime.

Hispanics are about a third of the population; but they are either software professionals or entrepreneurs running landscaping or home-improvement businesses. MS-13 is not a problem, as it is here on Long Island.

Muslims were a tick over one percent in 2009, mostly software professionals I'd guess; I can't find later figures.

A friend who knows the area well tells me:

Alt-Right people are always talking about the horrific future consequences of white Europeans becoming a minority, but they already became a minority decades ago in Silicon Valley, and these days are probably down to around 30 percent or so. Yet everything is perfectly fine here.

No doubt something similar applies to the neighborhoods where J.P. Morgan CEOs live. These people simply do not see the problems working-class Americans see. Absorbed in technical and business issues, they are politically naïve. Their very occasional glances at political news tell them that SPLC are crusaders for truth and justice. That's how Morris Dees' little racket is portrayed by the progressive Left who infest the Main Stream media.

That's the Bubble School. The Shakedown School argues by contrast that these big software and banking CEOs are just as cynical as the SPLC barons. They pay them off just to ensure they don't end up on an SPLC Hate Map. "Nice little bank you've got here. Be a shame if anything happened to it."

I don't know which school of thought is right. I do know, though, that in taking our stand against the SPLC and their promoters in the Main Stream Media — a stand for cultural continuity, demographic stability, and the historic American nation — VDARE.com is at a massive financial disadvantage.

The SPLC is a 501(c)(3) corporation, and so are we; but we are David to their Goliath. We do our work in the cluttered back rooms (in my case, actually the attic) of private houses, not in multi-storey office blocks dedicated to the purpose, like the SPLC's grand (and remarkably ugly) headquarters in Montgomery, Alabama—the notorious “Poverty Palace.” We don't have a salaried staff of dozens, only a dedicated husband-and-wife team, one other full-time editor, and a bench of part-time contributors. None of us knows where the Cayman Islands are.

Yet we pride ourselves that the product we put out is of a quality that compares favorably with much bigger, better-funded webzines. Just compare the sheer number of reference links in an average VDARE.com article with the number you see on a piece at HUFFPOST or Slate. [VDARE.com note: not here, because we need you to focus on our donation link below—but we’ll post a linked version later]. That's not to mention the SPLC, whose long-form pieces often carry no supporting links at all.

We cover a wide range of topics related to the National Question: automation, border security, class, demographics, employment, … I could work my way through the alphabet.

And then some. The proprietors of VDARE.com allow me a monthly diary, where I can write about anything I please, whether or not related to the National Question. In recent months, I have contributed remarks on Chinese dissidents, Transylvanian mathematicians, Russian poetry, and baboon metaphysics.

As proud as I am to be associated with VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow's efforts to ensure that my children and grandchildren inherit a stable, harmonious nation to live in, I am grateful and flattered that he permits me to sound off on anything that crosses my hopelessly cluttered mind.

All this costs money, though; not money on the SPLC scale, just enough to keep our voice in the public forum, and to help our contributors keep the wolf from the door.

This is more than ever the case in the present wave of hysteria, with huge donations flowing to those like the SPLC who seek to silence us, and online services like PayPal meekly obeying the ukases of those organizations.

We are not going anywhere. We shall stay online, speaking up for the Historic American Nation, and against the lies, hypocrisy, and violence of those who seek to destroy that nation.

Please help us in whatever measure you can. Thank you!
