Dear VDARE.com Reader,
This is very serious—if you do not take action, you may no longer be able to read VDARE.com very soon.
This Monday, June 15th, Network Solutions, our domain name registrar, suddenly gave us 10 days’ notice of its intention to terminate our account, after some 20 years. It gave no specific reasons beyond alleged violations of its Acceptable Use Policy, but said “we consider your continued use of our services a serious issue and risk to our business and corporate reputation.”
What does this mean and what can you do?
A domain name registrar handles the reservation of web addresses. Without registration, VDARE.com would be inaccessible on normal web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
Thanks to our patriotic donors (join them here !), VDARE.com has pursued its mission of America First non-profit journalism unchangingly since we opened on Christmas Eve, 1999.
So why are we being kicked off Network Solutions now? Because the political environment has changed. The Left’s Reign of Terror is intensifying. It is desperate to keep the immigration issue out of public debate until it succeeds in Electing A New People.
Network Solutions is only the most recent example corporate complicity in the suppression of Free Speech across America. But it’s perhaps the most shocking. To my knowledge, withdrawal of registrar services has never happened to a site as mainstream as VDARE.com.
Moral: No one is safe.
No access to VDARE.com?
Of course, we’re fighting back. We will never kneel. Our lawyer has challenged Network Solutions. And my team and I are actively searching for an alternative registrar solution. We hope we will find one. But we know it is likely only a matter of time before the new company caves under Antifa pressure, too.
In other words, it’s not impossible now that VDARE.com will indeed ultimately lose registrar services altogether. If that happens, you will NOT be able to access VDARE at the normal "VDARE.com" address!
Introducing the TOR browser: We hope we can find a way to avoid that. But we do urge you to prepare for this terrible day NOW.
If we fail to find a new domain registrar, the ONLY way you will be able to continue reading VDARE.com is via the “Dark Web”—using the TOR browser. But the connotations drawn from the moniker "Dark Web" are misleading.
TOR is an internet browser focused entirely on user privacy and security, protecting users from having their internet history analyzed for information based on interests and behavior. TOR is also the browser used to access websites that are not indexed by web search engines, not served by domain registrars or that are vulnerable to harm by autocratic governments and other bad actors. We suggest TOR to readers as a prudent workaround in this threatening time.
The most important thing for you to do right now is to save this address:

vdare--2020-06-17--Atlanta Cop Who Shot Criminal Aiming Cop's Stolen Taser At Him To Face Death Penalty Charge

Felony murder is a legal rule that expands the definition of murder .
It applies when someone commits a certain kind of felony and someone else dies in the course of it .
It doesn ’ t matter whether the death was intentional or accidental—the defendant is liable for it .
The rule is usually limited to felonies that are inherently or foreseeably dangerous to human life , such as arson , rape , robbery , and burglary .
So … What ’ s the felony ?
Attempting to arrest a black man for drunk driving ?
... and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aggravated assault , Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced Wednesday .
… After shooting Brooks , Rolfe said “ I got him ” and kicked him , and Brosnan then stood on Brooks ’ shoulder , Howard said .
The officers did not provide medical aid to Brooks for more than two minutes after he was shot , Howard said .
Their demeanor after the shooting “ did not reflect any fear or danger of Mr. Brooks , but reflected other kinds of emotions , ” Howard said .
Are their emotions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Inappropriate Emotions in the First Degree ” ?
Brosnan has agreed to be a state ’ s witness , Howard said .
“ I don ’ t remember a circumstance where we had an officer , particularly in a case this important , to step forward and say that they would cooperate with the state , ” he said .
Three of the counts against Rolfe are for aggravated assault related to a bullet he fired that hit an occupied vehicle nearby in the Wendy ’ s lot .
Brosnan ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of oath of office .
Rolfe was fired and Brosnan was placed on administrative duty in the wake of the shooting .
Arrest warrants have been issued for the two and they were asked to surrender by Thursday .
With the felony murder charge , Rolfe could face the death penalty if convicted .
Meanwhile , here ’ s my new Taki ’ s Magazine column , “ The End of Gentrification , ” on what happened to murder rates the last two times white elites decided that cops were the Bad Guys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Good Guys .

From CNN:
Atlanta Police officer who killed Rayshard Brooks charged with felony murder
By Eric Levenson and Christina Maxouris, CNN Updated 5:40 PM ET, Wed June 17, 2020 (CNN) The Atlanta Police officer who shot and killed Rayshard Brooks at a Wendy’s parking lot last week was charged with felony murder
From CriminalDefenseLawyer.com,
Felony murder is a legal rule that expands the definition of murder. It applies when someone commits a certain kind of felony and someone else dies in the course of it. It doesn’t matter whether the death was intentional or accidental—the defendant is liable for it. The rule is usually limited to felonies that are inherently or foreseeably dangerous to human life, such as arson, rape, robbery, and burglary.
So … What’s the felony? Attempting to arrest a black man for drunk driving?
iSteve commenter gongtao asks:
Shouldn’t Rayshard Brooks be the one guilty of felony murder? His own death was caused by his felony assault on a police officer.
Back to CNN:
...and the other officer on scene was charged with aggravated assault, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced Wednesday. … After shooting Brooks, Rolfe said “I got him” and kicked him, and Brosnan then stood on Brooks’ shoulder, Howard said. The officers did not provide medical aid to Brooks for more than two minutes after he was shot, Howard said. Their demeanor after the shooting “did not reflect any fear or danger of Mr. Brooks, but reflected other kinds of emotions,” Howard said.
Are their emotions after being attacked are the felony? “Inappropriate Emotions in the First Degree”?
Brosnan has agreed to be a state’s witness, Howard said. “I don’t remember a circumstance where we had an officer, particularly in a case this important, to step forward and say that they would cooperate with the state,” he said. Three of the counts against Rolfe are for aggravated assault related to a bullet he fired that hit an occupied vehicle nearby in the Wendy’s lot. Brosnan’s three charges include two counts of violations of oath of office. Rolfe was fired and Brosnan was placed on administrative duty in the wake of the shooting. Arrest warrants have been issued for the two and they were asked to surrender by Thursday. With the felony murder charge, Rolfe could face the death penalty if convicted.
Meanwhile, here’s my new Taki’s Magazine column, “The End of Gentrification,” on what happened to murder rates the last two times white elites decided that cops were the Bad Guys and inner city black knuckleheads were the Good Guys.

Sessions : Fast-Track Guarantees Three Mammother Global Pacts Encompassing Up to 90 % of World GDP , June 17 , 2015 WASHINGTON—U.S .
Sen. Jeff Sessions ( R-AL ) issued the following statement today ahead of the new attempt to give President Obama expanded fast-track executive authorities : “ The House is preparing to vote again tomorrow on providing fast-track executive authority to the President .
If adopted , it will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consideration .
It is essential that there be no misunderstanding : fast-track preapproves the formation of not only the unprecedentedly large Trans-Pacific Partnership , but an unlimited number of such agreements over the next six years .
Those pacts include three of the most ambitious ever contemplated .
After TPP comes the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership ( TTIP ) between the United States and the European Union , followed by the Trade in Services Agreement ( TiSA ) , seeking as one its goals labor mobility among more than 50 nations .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ three-fourths of the world ’ s GDP .
Including the nations whose membership is being courted for after enactment , the countries involved would encompass nearly 90 percent of global GDP .
Yet , through fast-track , Congress will have authorized the President to ink these deals before a page of them has been made public .
Then , the Executive sends Congress “ implementing ” legislation to change U.S. law—legislation which can not be amended , can not be filibustered , and will not be subjected to the Constitutional requirement for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ European Commission , the TiSA agreement—which most House and Senate members did not know about when they voted—will follow in the footsteps of the WTO ’ s Trade in Services Provisions , which has already inhibited the U.S. from making needed immigration changes .
The European Commission says the EU “ wants as many countries as possible to join the agreement.
” We have already seen how the EU has curtailed sovereignty in Europe ; we do not want to follow in its footsteps .
This nation has never seen an agreement that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new Pacific Union .
This is far more than a trade agreement , but creates a self-governing and self-perpetuating Commission with extraordinary implications for American workers and American sovereignty .
Such a historic international regulatory Commission should never be fast-tracked , and should never be put on a path to passage until every word has been publicly scrutinized , every question answered , and every last power understood by Congress and the American people .
”

Tulsa was only 98 years ago, people. How many more recent events can you name? Let me see, there was FDR’s redlining and Emmett Till and … nope, that’s about it.

vdare--2020-06-18--Rage Against the Machine's Aunt Jemima

Rage Against the Machine's Aunt Jemima

With the news that Quaker Oats is canceling its Aunt Jemima maple syrup , because , well , nobody associates blacks with good cooking anymore , I ’ m reminded that one of the funnier biographical patterns is that two frontmen of the leftist 1990s rock group Rage Against the Machine have the two most Obama-like biographies imaginable .
Zacharias Manuel de la Rocha was born in Long Beach , California , on January 12 , 1970 , to a Mexican-American father ( the artist Robert “ Beto ” de la Rocha , born 1937 ) and a mother of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carter ( born 1941 ) .
Beto was a muralist and a member of Los Four , the first Chicano art collective to be exhibited at a museum ( LACMA , 1973 ) .
De la Rocha ’ s paternal grandfather , Isaac de la Rocha Beltrán ( 1910–1985 ) , [ 6 ] was a Mexican revolutionary who fought in the Mexican Revolution and worked as an agricultural laborer in the U.S. De la Rocha would later see the hardships his grandfather endured reflected in the struggles of the Zapatista Army of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s parents divorced when he was six years old , and he moved from East Los Angeles to Irvine with his mother , who attended the University of California at Irvine and ultimately earned a PhD in anthropology .
De la Rocha later described Irvine as “ one of the most racist cities imaginable ” and said that “ if you were a Mexican in Irvine , you were there because you had a broom or a hammer in your left hand ” .
And from Wikipedia about guitarist Tom Morello , whose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ de la Rocha ’ s voice , but whom I like as a singer : Morello was born on May 30 , 1964 , in Harlem , New York , to Ngethe Njoroge and Mary Morello .
Morello , an only child , is the son of an American mother of Italian and Irish descent and a Kikuyu Kenyan father .
His mother was a schoolteacher from Marseilles , Illinois , who earned a Master of Arts at Loyola University , Chicago and traveled to Germany , Spain , Japan , and Kenya @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 1983 .
His father participated in the Mau Mau Uprising ( 1952–1960 ) and was Kenya ’ s first ambassador to the United Nations .
Morello ’ s paternal great-uncle , Jomo Kenyatta , was the first elected president of Kenya .
His aunt , Jemimah Gecaga , was the first woman to serve in the legislature of Kenya ; Yes , Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine had an Aunt Jemima who was a famous feminist role model/nepocrat in Kenya .

With the news that Quaker Oats is canceling its Aunt Jemima maple syrup, because, well, nobody associates blacks with good cooking anymore, I’m reminded that one of the funnier biographical patterns is that two frontmen of the leftist 1990s rock group Rage Against the Machine have the two most Obama-like biographies imaginable.
From Wikipedia about annoying singer Zack de la Rocha:
Zacharias Manuel de la Rocha was born in Long Beach, California, on January 12, 1970, to a Mexican-American father (the artist Robert “Beto” de la Rocha, born 1937) and a mother of German and Irish origin, Olivia Lorryne Carter (born 1941). Beto was a muralist and a member of Los Four, the first Chicano art collective to be exhibited at a museum (LACMA, 1973). De la Rocha’s paternal grandfather, Isaac de la Rocha Beltrán (1910–1985),[6] was a Mexican revolutionary who fought in the Mexican Revolution and worked as an agricultural laborer in the U.S. De la Rocha would later see the hardships his grandfather endured reflected in the struggles of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. De la Rocha’s parents divorced when he was six years old, and he moved from East Los Angeles to Irvine with his mother, who attended the University of California at Irvine and ultimately earned a PhD in anthropology. De la Rocha later described Irvine as “one of the most racist cities imaginable” and said that “if you were a Mexican in Irvine, you were there because you had a broom or a hammer in your left hand.”
And from Wikipedia about guitarist Tom Morello, whose guitar sound I find as unpleasant as de la Rocha’s voice, but whom I like as a singer:
Morello was born on May 30, 1964, in Harlem, New York, to Ngethe Njoroge and Mary Morello. Morello, an only child, is the son of an American mother of Italian and Irish descent and a Kikuyu Kenyan father. His mother was a schoolteacher from Marseilles, Illinois, who earned a Master of Arts at Loyola University, Chicago and traveled to Germany, Spain, Japan, and Kenya as an English language teacher between 1977 and 1983. His father participated in the Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1960) and was Kenya’s first ambassador to the United Nations. Morello’s paternal great-uncle, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first elected president of Kenya. His aunt, Jemimah Gecaga, was the first woman to serve in the legislature of Kenya;
Yes, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine had an Aunt Jemima who was a famous feminist role model/nepocrat in Kenya.
and his uncle Njoroge Mungai was a Kenyan Cabinet Minister, Member of Parliament, and was considered one of the founding fathers of modern Kenya. His parents met in August 1963 while attending a pro-democracy protest in Nairobi, Kenya. After discovering her pregnancy, Mary returned to the United States with Njoroge in November and married in New York City. When Morello was 16 months old, Njoroge returned to his native Kenya and denied his paternity of his son. Morello was raised by his mother in Libertyville, Illinois.
I used to drive out from Chicago to play golf at the idyllic Pine Meadow course in Libertyville.
and attended Libertyville High School, where his mother was a U.S. history teacher. … Morello developed leftist political leanings early, and has described himself as having been “the only anarchist in a conservative high school,” and has since identified as a nonsectarian socialist. … Morello graduated from high school with honors in June 1982 and enrolled at Harvard University as a political science student that autumn.
It’s widely assumed that interracial marriage will solve all racial problems. Yet, children of mixed marriages seem to largely be at the forefront of the current hatefest.

Those who break the law should have their photos published in local papers, for shame serves as a great deterrent to repeat offending.

Authorities in Oakland, California, are investigating nooses hanging off at least five separate trees as a hate crime.
The nooses were discovered Tuesday in the Lake Merritt area, a popular outdoor space and neighborhood.
“Symbols of racial violence have no place in Oakland and will not be tolerated,” Oakland’s mayor, Libby Schaaf, [Pictured right], said in a statement. “We are all responsible for knowing the history and present day reality of lynchings, hate crimes and racial violence. Objects that invoke such terror will not be tolerated in Oakland’s public spaces.”
During initial investigations, some community members reported that the ropes were used for exercise equipment, with one saying he attached the rope to a tree limb for games several months ago, according to Oakland police.
Although some of the ropes may have been for exercise, “some of it absolutely was not,” Nicholas Williams, the Oakland parks and recreation director, said at a news briefing.
But the intentions of whoever put those nooses in the trees – whether for exercise or for hatred – doesn’t matter when it comes to the message that Schaaf said she was hoping to send in directing staff to remove the ropes immediately.
“These symbols are symbols of racial violence and it is incumbent on all of us to have that sensitivity, to have that knowledge,” she said.
“What a privilege for those of us that don’t feel complete fear and terror when we see a rope in a tree. That is a privilege that so many of our African American residents do not enjoy and this is a moment that we must be cognizant of that reality. We have got to stop terrorizing our black and brown citizens and as white people, we have to become knowledgable and educated about the impact of our actions, whether they are well-intentioned or not.”

“ DHS states that the number of incursions is ‘ relatively few , ’ but that is a misrepresentation of the frequency of these occurrences , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ international border .

Mr. Kerlikowske said it was impossible to know how many of those incidents resulted in standoffs or armed confrontations with U.S. border agents or officers, but in 81 instances — totaling more than 320 people — either verbal or physical contact was made, and 131 people were detained.
“While the number of unauthorized incursions by Mexican authorities is relatively few, it is imperative for our officer safety to handle each situation assertively but with sensitivity and professionalism,” the commissioner said.
Mr. Hunter disagreed with Mr. Kerlikowske’s description of incursions as rare. “DHS states that the number of incursions is ‘relatively few,’ but that is a misrepresentation of the frequency of these occurrences, which Mexico invites through its activities along the international border. Also, there is a clear lack of consistency among DHS in handling these incidents, especially in cases of unauthorized incursions with armed authorities,” Mr. Hunter said.
He also said Mexico has been hypocritical in refusing to release Sgt. Tahmooressi even as its own troops and law enforcement are caught doing the same thing as the Marine. “It’s time for the U.S. to reconsider its treatment of the incidents and send a direct message to Mexico that incursions won’t be tolerated along the international border,” the congressman said.

Once again , Chief Justice John Roberts has cucked , siding with the radical Left and its Kritarch auxiliary on the U.S. Supreme Court .
This time , he joined a disgraceful 5-4 decision to block President Trump ’ s order ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [ DACA ] , Obama ’ s Amnesty for illegal-alien kids , on absurd technical grounds .

From: Fabrizio Evola [Email him]
As law enforcement continues to be vilified by BLM, Antifa, and other elements of the Left, police unions should consider organizing a national strike. There have been a number of posts and articles on VDARE about the inevitable rise in violent crime that will result if police are defunded or abolished, but we do not need to wait years to see the effects of such a policy. Police unions have the power to demonstrate the reality of the Left’s proposals immediately.
Boston had a police strike in 1919, and then Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge had to call in the National Guard to stabilize the situation. He fired the striking cops, but such a solution in a nationwide strike would be impossible from a practical standpoint. There are simply not enough National Guardsman or potential new law enforcement hires.
The recent BLM/Antifa riots have demonstrated that the public will pay a large price for social peace. It is about time that law enforcement informs the public that the bill is past due.

What with race and law enforcement being much in the news this month, you might think we’d see more reference to the most authoritative official statistics on the subject. Here are the latest FBI statistics on murder offenders by race:
At this point, 29.5% of 2018 murderers are of unknown race, whether because the case hasn’t been cleared yet or because the local agency didn’t get around to reporting the race to the federal government.
Of the 11,514 murder offenders in 2018 where the race of the offender is known by now, 6,318 of the offenders were black: 54.9%.
Blacks make up 13.4% of the population at present.
So, blacks in 2018 were 7.9 times more likely per capita to be murder offenders than the rest of the population.
Here’s how to do the arithmetic:
(54.9% / 13.4%) / ((100% – 54.9%) / (100% – 13.4%))
In recent generations, this black-to-all-else homicide offender ratio goes up and down somewhat, depending upon what drugs are hot, the political climate, and so forth, but usually winds up a little under 8X. For example, in 2011 the Obama Administration’s Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that blacks made up 52.5% of homicide offenders over the 29 years from 1980 to 2008:
