Someone I know recently lost his daughter. She was exactly the same age as my son Alexander, and in fact we have pictures of them together as babies.

Needless to say, losing VDARE.com is absolutely nothing compared to that.

But it still hurts.

Very soon, the VDARE.com website will be suspended. We are currently unsure for how long the archives will remain accessible, or even if they will be accessible at all.

(We do think that our social media, however, will still function).

So my role here has been destroyed. After 25 years, I am resigning as Editor of VDARE.com and from the VDARE.com Foundation board.

My wife Lydia will continue for now as President of the VDARE Foundation, handling the administrative details of winding down—and, of course, paying lawyers.

One bright spot:

My husband, VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow, has described, in his resignation announcement above, the lethal lawfare waged against us by New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

But Peter also mentioned other interlocking issues that are also contributing to our decision to suspend. Here I want to put on the record, because I lived it personally, the role of Cancel Culture in the demise of VDARE.com.

My role as President of the VDARE Foundation perforce became, not fundraising, but developing strategies to survive Cancel Culture. It is my sense that our little organization has been targeted more harshly than almost any other. We are genuinely puzzled as to why. Essentially, we’ve just been advocating what President Trump endorsed in his epochal August 15, 2015, Immigration Statement . What’s wrong with that?

Nevertheless, Cancel Culture is a key reason it has become impossible for VDARE Foundation to continue our main project, the VDARE.com website. My bitter task here is to explain that, and to describe what I have done to fight it off as long as possible.
