A few years ago, the people behind the now-defunct white nationalist website VDARE bought a castle (yes, a castle) in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. It got a fair bit of coverage at the time, but there hasn't been all that much reporting on what they've been doing in there since then.

Now it's clear that the castle was the venue for a recent conference that brought a bunch of Patriot Front goons to town, along with a handful of leading antisemitic and "race science" intellectuals from around the US. And this is after the VDARE people promised to be nice, quiet neighbors.

===

On March 7-9 of this year, the neo-fascist American Freedom Party (AFP) held what it billed as its “National Convention” at a location that organizers kept secret from the public. Participants later said that it was in West Virginia without specifying where, however they did post photos from the conference online. A close examination of these images reveals that the conference took place at the Berkeley Springs Castle, which is owned by the people who ran the now-defunct white nationalist website VDARE.

...

The Brimelows’ presence has been a source of tension in Berkeley Springs from the start. Peter Brimelow has downplayed residents’ concerns, saying that he wasn’t organizing big rallies in town or doing anything disruptive and that “We just want to be quiet, good neighbors.” Yet the VDARE website also described the castle as a “meeting place” for like-minded people, and Lydia Brimelow stated during a 2022 podcast appearance that “My vision is it becomes a big hub of American patriotism.”

One reason why the recent conference is noteworthy is because it provided exactly the kind of “meeting place” that VDARE promised while breaking any sort of commitment to simply be “quiet, good neighbors,” highlighting the inherent contradiction between the two.

Things continue to suck for white nationalist website VDARE and its owners Peter and Lydia Brimelow. They stopped publishing in July, claiming that their funds had been sucked dry fighting a lawsuit in New York State. The one bright spot for them was that they were able to keep the castle they bought a few years ago in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, because it was owned by a nonprofit Lydia had set up in WV, where NY Attorney General Letitia James couldn’t touch it.

Now the judge in the ongoing lawsuit in NY has ordered VDARE to pay $43,500 in fines for failing to submit unredacted (or at least only properly redacted) documents in discovery. Moreover, that fine was $250 for each day they failed to submit the docs since April; now the judge is increasing the fine to $1000 each day.

A major sticking point has been that the NYAG wants the legal names of authors who have written articles for VDARE, many of whom have thus far published under pen names. The Brimelows have so far refused to give her that.

[Edit: It's been bugging me since I posted this, so I want to add that I actually agree with the Brimelows on this part, though it pains me to admit agreeing with them about anything. There are a lot of reasons why authors might want to conceal their identities, and not just because they're hateful bigots. I haven't heard of a prosecutor or plaintiff demanding this before, but it strikes me as exactly the kind of thing that can and will be done to outlets with far better politics than anything VDARE could ever cough up, so while the Brimelows' misfortune is generally something to celebrate, I can't help looking at this particular aspect of it with skepticism and a certain amount of fear.]

On top of all that, because the Brimelows live in their castle, the NYAG is arguing that that is an improper use of funds by a nonprofit. I honestly don’t understand how this works, but I frankly won’t complain if these people lose their building, which they’ve specifically said they are using as a kind of safe space where white nationalists can have conferences and gatherings without fear of being kicked out when antifascists find out where they’re meeting.

VDARE has been online for 25 years and is one of the more prominent outlets in the US for the anti-immigrant, race “science” intelligentsia for a long time. They’ve regularly published articles by figures like Anne Coulter, John Derbyshire, Pat Buchanan, and Michelle Malkin, who have also been affiliated with mainstream-ish outlets and organizations, alongside overt white nationalists like Steve Sailer, Jared Taylor, and Peter Brimelow himself. That approach has made it an effective tool for making the worst people and their white supremacist ideas more socially acceptable. The site took its name from Virginia Dare, who was purportedly the first European baby born in North America.

Wild. The white nationalist website VDARE.com is suspending operations and going out of business. It is/was one of the biggest online outlets for "intellectual" white nationalists, and it can't go away fast enough.

VDARE chief Peter Brimelow just posted an eight-minute video on the dead bird site of one of the most awkward speeches I've ever seen. He blames NY Attorney General Letitia James for driving them into the ground financially, banks for refusing to work with them, and a series of cyberattacks that have them completely baffled. So kudos to everyone involved.

The bad news is that they're still going to retain their castle in West Virginia, which he says will still host "distant conferences" and [CW: you may actually throw up into your mouth] "a number of normie functions, for example weddings, if any of you want to get married and defy the Great Replacement".

VDARE, which was named for Virginia Dare, allegedly the first white baby born in the "New World", has been a platform for explicit "race science" advocates like Steve Sailer, but also for people who get on mainstream talk shows like Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, and Michelle Malkin. Brimelow has been kind of a mentor to Richard Spencer and is generally an elder statesman among the young, racist white boy set.

That rag will not be missed.
