vdare--2020-10-25--The Bangladeshi-Neanderthal Connection—Yet More Evidence Of A Genetic Factor In Covid-19

Covid-19 played a major role in last Thursday ’ s Presidential debate and is being again hyped by the Dem/MSM complex , although the actual U.S. death rate is still growing very slowly .
Meanwhile , a startling new study casts further light on the race differences in Covid-19 incidence .
Discussion of these race differences were repressed by our Race-Denying Ruling Class until it became clear that some minorities were disproportionately impacted , at which point it was proclaimed to be the fault of whites .
But it remained possible that these differences were the result of deep-seated cultural @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are at least in part genetic .
Which means the one-size-fits-all public policy response was wrong .
England has a large “ South Asian ” population—recent ancestors from India , Pakistan , and Bangladeshi—about 8 % of the population on the 2011 census of England and now likely considerably higher .
These people are 20 % more likely than whites to die of Covid-19 and 12 years younger than whites when admitted to hospital with it [ South Asian people in UK 20 per cent more likely to die of coronavirus , study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , June 19 , 2020 ] .
This disparity is definitely not due to poverty .
South Asian doctors and nurses working for Britain ’ s National Health Service are also far more likely to die of Covid-19 than are white medical workers : they are 21 % of NHS workers but 63 % of COVID-19 deaths among NHS workers .

The new study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ segments of this gene cluster confer the risk , where they have come from , and to what extent there are population differences in their prevalence .

The at-risk genes are strongest in the kind of Neanderthal that lived around Croatia , in Southeast Europe , about 50,000 years ago .

Among Bangladeshis it was particularly high : 63 % of Bangladeshis carry the Neanderthal haplotype that is associated with serious complications from Covid-19 and 13 % of them are “ homozygous ” carriers of it .

Intriguingly, British citizens of Bangladeshi extraction have been particularly hard hit. Age-adjusted, they are 4 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than whites, whereas for Indians the risk is merely 1.6 times more.
Needless to say, the Leftist British newspaper The Guardian claimed that the high Bangladeshi-heritage death-rate was because Corona “is a disease that thrives on pre-existing inequalities within society.”
However, the new study reveals something very different: 63% of Bangladeshis—the highest of any group studied by far—carry a series of genetic variants which lead to serious risk of respiratory failure when infected with Covid-19.
And they’ve inherited these from the Neanderthals.

This was proven using a sample of 3,199 hospitalized Covid-19 patients and controls.
The new study builds on this by establishing precisely which segments of this gene cluster confer the risk, where they have come from, and to what extent there are population differences in their prevalence.
The results are yet another nail in the coffin for those who argue that “race” is mainly a “social construct” (except when white people pretend to be non-white, when it mysteriously is wholly biological) and that any biological race differences are trivial. One such race-denier is Britain’s half-South Asian science writer Dr. Adam Rutherford—who himself became seriously ill with COVID-19.
The Swedish researchers found that the relevant genes on Chromosome 3 are all strongly associated with each other, because they all entered human populations via “gene flow”—that is, intermixing—from Neanderthals. Accordingly, they constitute a “haplotype”—a group of genes that come together.
The at-risk genes are strongest in the kind of Neanderthal that lived around Croatia, in Southeast Europe, about 50,000 years ago. This Neanderthal—known as the Vindaja 33.19—carried 11 of the 13 polymorphisms (forms of a gene) that are associated with severe Covid-19 symptoms.

The team then analyzed 5008 haplotypes in the Human Genome Project to see which human groups were most likely to carry the Covid-19-risk haplotype that appears to have been inherited from the Vindaja 33-19 Neanderthal.
No Sub-Saharan Africans carry this haplotype, consistent with evidence that there has been very little gene flow between Sub-Saharan Africans and Neanderthals.
However, this haplotype was found at a rate of 4% among Native Americans, 8% among Europeans—and 50% among South Asians.
Among Bangladeshis it was particularly high: 63% of Bangladeshis carry the Neanderthal haplotype that is associated with serious complications from Covid-19 and 13% of them are “homozygous” carriers of it.
This means that they have inherited it from both of their parents. A gene is composed of two alleles, with one allele being inherited from each parent. These Bangladeshis have two copies of each of the same risky set of alleles, implying that they will experience particularly pronounced problems with Covid-19.
Part of the reason for this is surely that, in Britain’s Bangladeshi community for example, a remarkable 60% of mothers are married to their first cousins, meaning that the children are much more likely to inherit two copies of any mutant, or otherwise problematic, allele which either parent might carry [The tragic truth about cousin marriages: They can cause a litany of genetic illnesses and they’re a key factor in the deaths of two children a week in Britain, so why is it taboo to talk about them, by Sue Reid, Mail Online, July 7, 2018].
It’s a common belief that Europeans are particularly high in Neanderthal ancestry. So it might seem surprising that Bangladeshis should be so high in this particular form of Neanderthal ancestry.
However, more recent research is revealing that this common belief simply is not accurate. East Asians carry around 30% more Neanderthal DNA than do Europeans [Neanderthal DNA By Race: Asians Have Closer Link From Multiple Breeding Events, Studies Say, by Morgan Windsor, International Business Times, February 19, 2015].

So we should not be surprised to find that they also carry Neanderthal DNA. In this case, of course, the key issue is that they carry DNA from a specific Neanderthal type, and that this impacts their ability to fight-off Covid-19.
So, for the Race Deniers and those who insist race differences in Covid-19 fatality are due to “white privilege” or some other unscientific nonsense, here we have a study in a top quality journal which provides very strong proof that the genetics of race very substantially explains the devastating impact of Covid-19 on South Asians in Western countries.
I conclude with the now-traditional mantra I include in all my Covid-19 articles:
If Covid-19 is not an Equal Opportunity disease, that means our race-denying Ruling Class is frightening most people too much—and not warning some people enough. This will not merely cause unnecessary chaos—it will cost lives.
It’s almost as if the lockdown was completely unnecessary for all but elderly and seriously sick white people. It’s almost as if, for the vast majority of Westerners, this has all been, well, pointless.

Earlier: Kamala Harris—A Barely-Black ”Immigrant American”?
During an early Democrat Presidential candidates’ debate, Kamala Harris painted an ugly picture of American racism, recounting her alleged experience as a young student on a school bus in progressive Berkeley, CA’s public-school integration program.
There was a little girl in California who was bussed to school. That little girl was me. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/XKm2xP1MDH — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) June 28, 2019
But the fact is, racism ran deep in her Indian mother’s Hinduism and its race-based caste system. It’s likely plays a part in Kamala’s obsession with race.
As her Indian-born Hindu mother, the late Shyamala Gopalan, said
“In Indian society we go by birth…We are Brahmins, that is the top caste. Please do not confuse this with class, which is only about money. For Brahmins, the bloodline is the most important. My family, named Gopalan, goes back more than 1,000 years.” [Kamala's Karma She's smart, she's experienced, and she's running for DA. But she's Willie Brown's ex-girlfriend, and her opponents are trying to crucify her for that, by Peter Byrne, San Francisco Weekly, September 24, 2003. Emphasis added.]
Yet, when Gopalan entered a “love marriage” in 1963 and had children with a mixed-race Jamaican student she met while studying a UC Berkeley, she tainted her family’s carefully reserved bloodline. The couple had two daughters, the eldest “Devi Kamala,” named for the Hindu Goddess of Lotus, because “A culture that worships goddesses produces strong women.”
A 2004 profile of Kamala Harris, incl this re her mom Dr. Gopalan: "Shyamala insisted on giving her daughters names derived from Indian mythology, in part to help preserve their cultural identity. 'A culture that worships goddesses produces strong women'"https://t.co/wvujdopT9P — Tanvi Madan (@tanvi_madan) August 13, 2020
The marriage collapsed when Kamala was five and, after a contentious divorce, her mother took charge of raising her daughters.
Perhaps it was when young Kamala sprouted an Afro that Gopalan first understood her daughters would never pass for Brahmins and would face harsh racial discrimination in her native India. Her fears were confirmed when a Head-Start worker noted Kamala tested high in intelligence, suggesting she might go to college. Gopalan found the worker’s comments patronizing, but understood he had assumed Kamala was a Black from the ghetto, “not a privileged child of foreign graduate students at the UC Berkeley.” [ From the Archives: In Search of Elusive Justice, by Scott Duke Harris, Oct. 24, 2004]
Read this piece and you know why many Indians in the US are casteist. some lines in it "Tamil Brahmins like Shyamala Gopalan fled identity politics and socialism for the U.S." calls "tamil brahmins marginlised" and reservations "reverse discrimination." https://t.co/UOMpEpvlsO — T M Krishna (@tmkrishna) August 22, 2020
To protect them—and herself—she made a conscious decision to abandon racist India and raise her daughters as Blacks in far more tolerant North America. When Kamala was 12, the three moved to Quebec, Canada, where Gopalan’s sister lived, returning to the US six years later after Kamala graduated from a Canadian high school in the Anglo enclave of Westmount in Montreal.
Given the brutal racial realities of the Hindu caste system, it is surprising that Kamala continues to embrace the religion. While running for California Attorney General in 2010, she asked her aunt in India to smash 108 coconuts for a blessing at the local Hindu temple in her grandparent’s upscale seaside neighborhood of Besant Nagar. Winning the race by a slim margin, Kamala told her aunt that, “For every coconut you broke, I got 1,000 votes” [Deep Chennai roots: When Kamala thanked aunt for breaking coconuts at Adyar temple, DTNext, India, Aug 13,2020]. Her 2014 wedding to L.A. lawyer Douglas Emhoff combined Jewish and Hindu ceremonies including the traditional Varmala garland exchange and mangala sutra. There is no mention of Christian rites in her wedding despite Kamala’s claim to be a Baptist.
Of the Jamaican-born father, Prof. Donald Harris, who provided her Black identity, Kalama says, “[He] is a good guy, but we are not close.” Her father has actively disengaged from her campaign after he publicly chastised Kamala for insulting his Jamaican family by implying they all smoked dope like she did [Harris’ dad slams his daughter’s use of 'identity politics', Fox News, February 21, 2020].
In recent years, Kamala has created a narrative that portrays her privileged Brahmin relatives as mainstream Progressives, including characterizing her mother as a “civil rights activist." In her 2019 memoir, The Truths We Hold, she wrote that her grandfather PV Gopalan was deeply involved in Indian’s movement against colonial rule, a claim disputed by family members who said there was no record of him being anything more than a diligent civil servant who, had he openly advocated an end to British rule, would have been fired [Fact Check: Are Some Of Kamala Harris’ Claims About Her Indian Grandfather False? Swarajya, August 21, 2020]. She called her grandmother “a feminist” for expressing concern that the servants who did her laundry might be victims of domestic abuse.
As with other first-generation Americans descended from non-White foreigners who chose to emigrate to the US (the most notable being President Obama), Kamala and her sister Maya (Hindi for Illusion) have made “American racism” i.e. anti-white, agitation their central cause by expanding African-American descendants-of-slaves’ issues to include themselves, “People of Color,” even if they have just arrived in the US.
In a recent interview with an Indian publication, Harris linked the problems of people of South Asian origin with those of US minorities [Kamala Harris: Lessons on Democracy on Besant Nagar Beach, by Ambassador T P Sreenivasan, August 18, 2020]. Since 80 percent of US voters of Indian origin voted for Hillary in the last election, that may be a winning strategy.
Just further evidence that, in Brecht’s famous words, our uniparty government is dissolving the American people and electing a new one.

Beethoven Has a First Name
It’s time to “fullname” all composers in classical music.
By CHRIS WHITE
OCT 24, 20206:00 AM There will be a time when we’ll go to concerts again. We will buy our tickets, shuffle shoulder to shoulder down the aisle, and find our seats. The lights will dim, and the conductor will walk onto the stage to introduce the program. They might talk about Beethoven, Schumann, and Bartók. And they might talk about Alma Mahler, Florence Price, Henry Burleigh, and Caroline Shaw. Many of us, used to the conventions of classical performance, will hardly notice the difference: “traditional” white male composers being introduced with only surnames, full names for everyone else, especially women and composers of color.
The habitual, two-tiered way we talk about classical composers is ubiquitous. For instance, coverage of an early October livestream by the Louisville Orchestra praised the ensemble’s performance of a “Beethoven” symphony, and the debut of a composition memorializing Breonna Taylor by “Davóne Tines” and “Igee Dieudonné.”
It’s almost as if more people have heard of Beethoven than of Dávone Tines or Igee Dieudonne (who is a white guy). And it’s almost as if the Eroica Symphony is “better” than this 3 minute composition by Davóne Tines and Igee Dieudonné.
If you’re a music teacher who’s been demonstrating some concept with a piece by Ludwig van Beethoven or Wolfgang Mozart, these resources will guide you to an alternative piece of music by, say, Elizabeth Cotten (the guitarist responsible for the “Cotten picking” performance style).
Similar dynamics are increasingly evident within other musical fields, including music performance. The Metropolitan Opera, upon canceling its 2020–21 season, also announced that it would begin its next season with Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones, the first opera by a Black composer to appear on the Met’s stage.
Terence Blanchard’s depressing movie scores have pretty much destroyed Spike Lee’s career since he fired his dad, who scored Lee’s first few movies back when everybody thought he was going to turn into somebody good.
Encouraging as it is, this trend is butting headlong into the Western European musical canon. For a lot of intersecting reasons, music critics, academics, consumers, and performers in the mid-19th through early 20th centuries thought about music history as the story of a few great men producing great works of art. (Of course, this tactic is very common in how we tell our histories in many domains.) Tied up in the respect and ubiquity afforded to these men is the mononym, or a single word sufficing for a person’s whole name. These canonized demigods became so ensconced in elite musical society’s collective consciousness that only one word was needed to evoke their awesome specter. Mouthfuls of full names became truncated to terse sets of universally recognized syllables: Mozart. Beethoven. Bach.
If you want to argue that referring to the classical giants like Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach by one name is unfair, you ought to start with the Other Bachs, Johann Sebastian’s sons. J.S. Bach, although influential upon his peers such as Mozart and Beethoven, fell out of public popularity for almost 80 years following his death in 1750, during which some of his sons were more famous composers. Finally, in 1829, the 20-year-old Felix Mendelssohn arranged and conducted a famous performance of the St. Matthew’s Passion in Berlin, and the elder Bach has been a huge figure ever since.
On the one hand, then, initiatives toward diversity and inclusion are placing new names on concert programs, syllabi, and research papers, names that might not have been there 10 or 20 years ago—or even last year. But these names are appearing next to those that have been drilled deep into our brains by the forces of the inherited canon. This collision between increasing diversity and the mononyms of music history has created a hierarchical system that, whether or not you find it useful, can now only be seen as outdated and harmful. As we usher wider arrays of composers into our concerts and classrooms, this dual approach only exacerbates the exclusionary practices that suppressed nonwhite and nonmale composers in the first place. When we say, “Tonight, you’ll be hearing symphonies by Brahms and Edmond Dédé,” we’re linguistically treating the former as being on a different plane than the latter, a difference originally created by centuries of systematic prejudice, exclusion, sexism, and racism. (Dédé was a freeborn Creole composer whose music packed concert halls in Europe and America in the mid-19th century.)
Edmond Dédé was a black guy from New Orleans who enjoyed a reasonable career on the conducting side in France in the late 19th Century, although it’s misleading to say he packed concert halls as a composer. It’s more like every few decades somebody in New Orleans would put on a concert of his pieces as a show of civic pride by the creole of color community.
More to the point, interest in Dédé at present seems negligible. I can’t find a YouTube video about him or of his music with even 2,000 views. There are countless 19th century composers who were fine talents but who are forgotten today.
In contrast, the most popular Brahms video on YouTube has 7 million views.
I would imagine Dede felt Brahms was a much better composer than him.
The hierarchy of classical music composers isn’t actually a conspiracy, it’s based on who the greats think was great. As I wrote in my 2003 review of Charles Murray’s Human Accomplishment:
The best single confirmation of Beethoven’s greatness might be Brahms’s explanation of why he spent decades fussing before finally unveiling his First Symphony: “You have no idea how it feels for someone like me to hear behind him the tramp of a giant like Beethoven.”
Back to Slate:
Going forward, we need to “fullname” all composers when we write, talk, and teach about music. If mononyms linguistically place composers in a canonical pantheon, fullnaming never places them there to begin with. When we say, “Tonight, you’ll be hearing symphonies by Johannes Brahms and Edmond Dédé,” we’re linguistically treating both composers as being equally worthy of attention. And while fullnaming might seem like a small act in the face of centuries of harm and injustice, by adopting a stance of referential egalitarianism, fullnaming at least does no more harm. …
But by using everyone’s full names, we can focus more on their music rather than on the past cultural practices that elevated straight white men at the expense of everyone else. Musicians, academics, and teachers have a lot of work ahead to confront the racist and sexist history of classical music. Fullnaming composers, especially those who have been elevated to mononymic status by this complicated history, will challenge us to at the very least afford the same respect to all of the individuals whose music we talk and write about. When we do return to the concert halls, let’s return to concerts that play Ludwig Beethoven alongside Florence Price, and Edmond Dédé alongside Johannes Brahms.
Sorry, but Beethoven’s full name isn’t “Ludwig Beethoven,” it’s Ludwig van Beethoven:
Amusingly, saying the long names of the Big Three—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Ludwig van Beethoven—just makes them sound even more awesome than saying only their last names.
I’m looking forward to Professor Chris White’s essay about how referring to “Marx,” “Foucault” and “Derrida” is racist and sexist, especially considering how unjust that is to “Adam Smith.”

vdare--2020-10-25--2020 ACT Scores: Asians Pulling Away, Same as on SAT

Earlier : Judge Bans U. of California from Using SAT/ACT Tests Because Racism A few weeks ago , I wrote a Taki ’ s column entitled “ Asian Supremacy ” reporting on SAT college admission test score trends for high school seniors graduating in 2020 .
Now the rival ACT test ( 12 to 36 scale ) has published its 2020 average scores , and trends are fairly similar : Asians are going up , up , up , while everybody else is in decline : The ACT claims its standard deviation is 5.9 .
The recent declines aren ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where the test was redone a couple of years ago , which messed up everybody except Asians .
Plus the SAT has recently won a bunch of contracts from state legislatures to give their test to everybody in the public schools , a strategy pioneered by the ACT .

Here is the ACT test-taker data : As on the SAT , the average test scores for American Indians are in sharp decline .
And on the ACT , the number of Native American test-takers hasn ’ t increased , so that is genuinely concerning .
Also of interest is that Native Hawaiian / Other Pacific Islander scores are dropping like a rock too .
So , as Ibram X. Kendi has proven , this means the ACT was racistly designed specifically to facilitate Asian Supremacy and hurt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islanders .
To look for any other explanations is to indulge in Conspiracy Theorizing .

vdare--2020-10-26--VDARE.com’s Peter Brimelow Reports On Our First Amendment Law Suit Against CO Springs Mayor John Sut

VDARE.com’s Peter Brimelow Reports On Our First Amendment Law Suit Against CO Springs Mayor John Suthers (Who Now Has BLM/ Antifa Problems—Serve Him Right!)

I wrote recently that , since we filed our libel suit against the New York Times in January , “ the world has gone mad—and the New York Times even madder .
This , in my humble opinion , has made Brimelow vs. New York Times even more important.
” ( We expect a ruling in the next 3-4 months ) Pretty much the same can be said about what ’ s happened since we filed VDARE Foundation vs. City Of Colorado Springs , John Suthers , also in Federal Court .
The case stems from RINO Mayor John Suthers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extend city services a.k.a .
police protection to VDARE.com ’ s proposed conference at the Cheyenne Mountain Lodge .
Not surprisingly , Cheyenne Mountain Lodge cancelled shortly afterwards .
But there is very extensive federal case law establishing the principle that local governments must protect the First Amendment rights of even unpopular groups , regardless of cost .
( Jared Taylor ’ s American Renaissance recently prevailed in court against a similar attempt to suppress its annual conference in Tennessee ) .
So we sued .
My last update was here .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Colorado Springs , summarized this First Amendment atrocity here .
In the interim , Colorado too has gone mad .
In Denver this summer , police obeyed an order to stand down and allowed Antifa to attack Michelle Malkin ’ s pro-police rally ( shades of Charlottesville 2017 ) .
Subsequently , and not coincidentally , yet another Trump supporter was actually murdered at a patriot demonstration in what Malkin accurately describes as a Media-Political Assassination .
And in Colorado Springs itself this summer , the Suthers regime allowed Black Lives Matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mass demonstration aimed at the home of a Colorado Springs police officer who had already been cleared in the cookie-cutter controversy ginned up after the police killing of black suspected felon De ’ Von Bailey .
Note that , presumably under orders from Mayor Suthers , the Colorado Springs police made no arrests at the turba—even in defense of their own .
It is simply axiomatic that if Mayor Suthers had defended VDARE.com ’ s First Amendment Rights in 2017—our right to advocate a program that had in fact elected President Trump in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ El Paso County 56 % -34 % —he would not now feel compelled to cede the city ’ s streets to a Communist gang .
Similarly , of course had the U.S Department of Justice followed through on the felony rioting charges it filed after Antifa attacks on President Trump ’ s Inauguration celebration , instead of allowing them to be sabotaged by federal Judge Lynn Leibovitz , we would not now be seeing similar Communist coups in cities across America .
• On January 29 , 2020 , Magistrate Judge Kathleen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s complaint be dismissed .
Under federal procedure , this ruling was not binding on the District Court and would not become final unless endorsed by the District Court .
However… • On March 27 , 2020 , District Judge Christine M. Arguello issued an Order Adopting the Magistrate ’ s Recommendation .
Significantly , the District Court Judge could not bring herself to agree with the weak reasoning of her subordinate Magistrate .
Instead , she invented reasons of her own , which our lawyers , Frederick C. Kelly III and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Accordingly , on August 14 , 2020 , we appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit .
( See here—PDF . )
fi On October 14 , 2020 , the City of Colorado Springs responded .
( See here -- -PDF . )
Our lawyers are now working on our reply brief , due November 4 .
After that brief is filed , oral argument should be scheduled within a few months .
After oral argument , a decision should be issued within six to nine months .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawyer readers have made helpful suggestions on briefs and I invite them to continue : email Frederick C. Kelly III here ; Glen K. Allen here .
When I announced VDARE.com ’ s Legal Defense Fund in February 2019 , I wrote that Litigation is indeed unpredictable—and it ’ s certainly expensive .
I appeal to you to help us—click here .
( Please note that you can specify which of our legal campaigns you wish to support ) .
I said in my February 2019 announcement that “ patriots have rights .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ them—until now.
” At that point , a Reign of Terror was already sweeping America , as I described : The Radical Left has hijacked America ’ s corporations and policy makers to such an extent that the very existence of patriotic movements is at risk .
A special target of their hate : any resistance to , or even discussion of , America ’ s immigration disaster .
The elites on both the Left and Right have gambled everything on immigration-driven demographic change bringing them to power in America through cheap labor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ determined to prevent patriotic immigration reform , by whatever means necessary .
Their methods include shadow-banning ; demonetization ; deplatforming ; denial of the right of free assembly ; out-of-control vilification intended to intimidate and pathologize ; and , in scores of incidents the Main Stream Media doesn ’ t dwell on , harassment and outright violence—extending all the way to the attempted murder of elected officials .
Now , nearly two years later , the reality of that Reign Of Terror is obvious even to ordinary , even apolitical Americans who know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Scores of cities have seen unchallenged riots , billions of dollars of damage have been done , but it is ordinary citizens who attempt to defend themselves that local officials have hit with extraordinarily vindictive prosecutions clearly designed to suppress all resistance to the Leftist agenda .
Samuel T. Francis , whose column VDARE.com carried until his premature death in 2005 , coined the phrase “ anarcho-tyranny ” to describe the horrific situation when government will not protect citizens ’ rights , but polices them intensely in other areas , above all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themselves—because it tacitly agrees with the anarchists ’ goals .
In 2020 , it is no longer possible to deny anarcho-tyranny has come to America .
I have no doubt that many people , probably including Mayor Suthers , would be happy if all public criticism of immigration were suppressed .
Indeed , I expect that suppression to happen quickly if President Trump is not re-elected—and maybe if he is .
But right now , we do have the law , and the hope that justice will , eventually , be done—as it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( by a Clinton-appointed judge , let the record show ) .
I will post our reply brief when it becomes available .
Meanwhile , again , I must ask you to please give generously to help us defend our rights , and yours—while we can .
I , and what the Founders described as “ our posterity , ” will be most grateful .
Peter Brimelow [ Email him ] is the editor of VDARE.com .
His best-selling book , Alien Nation : Common Sense About America ’ s Immigration Disaster , @ @ @ @ @ @ @

I wrote recently that, since we filed our libel suit against the New York Times in January, “the world has gone mad—and the New York Times even madder. This, in my humble opinion, has made Brimelow vs. New York Times even more important.” (We expect a ruling in the next 3-4 months.)
Pretty much the same can be said about what’s happened since we filed VDARE Foundation vs. City Of Colorado Springs, John Suthers, also in Federal Court. The case stems from RINO Mayor John Suthers’ 2017 proclamation that he would not extend city services a.k.a. police protection to VDARE.com’s proposed conference at the Cheyenne Mountain Lodge. Not surprisingly, Cheyenne Mountain Lodge cancelled shortly afterwards. But there is very extensive federal case law establishing the principle that local governments must protect the First Amendment rights of even unpopular groups, regardless of cost. (Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance recently prevailed in court against a similar attempt to suppress its annual conference in Tennessee.) So we sued. My last update was here. The great Michelle Malkin, herself a resident of Colorado Springs, summarized this First Amendment atrocity here.
In the interim, Colorado too has gone mad. In Denver this summer, police obeyed an order to stand down and allowed Antifa to attack Michelle Malkin’s pro-police rally (shades of Charlottesville 2017). Subsequently, and not coincidentally, yet another Trump supporter was actually murdered at a patriot demonstration in what Malkin accurately describes as a Media-Political Assassination.
And in Colorado Springs itself this summer, the Suthers regime allowed Black Lives Matter vigilantes to launch a turba, a mass demonstration aimed at the home of a Colorado Springs police officer who had already been cleared in the cookie-cutter controversy ginned up after the police killing of black suspected felon De’Von Bailey.
Note that, presumably under orders from Mayor Suthers, the Colorado Springs police made no arrests at the turba—even in defense of their own.
It is simply axiomatic that if Mayor Suthers had defended VDARE.com’s First Amendment Rights in 2017—our right to advocate a program that had in fact elected President Trump in 2016, and that carried Colorado Springs’ El Paso County 56%–34%—he would not now feel compelled to cede the city’s streets to a Communist gang.
Similarly, of course had the U.S Department of Justice followed through on the felony rioting charges it filed after Antifa attacks on President Trump’s Inauguration celebration, instead of allowing them to be sabotaged by federal Judge Lynn Leibovitz, we would not now be seeing similar Communist coups in cities across America.
More recent developments:
On January 29, 2020, Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya issued a Recommendation that VDARE.com’s complaint be dismissed.
Under federal procedure, this ruling was not binding on the District Court and would not become final unless endorsed by the District Court. However…
On March 27, 2020, District Judge Christine M. Arguello issued an Order Adopting the Magistrate’s Recommendation.
Significantly, the District Court Judge could not bring herself to agree with the weak reasoning of her subordinate Magistrate. Instead, she invented reasons of her own, which our lawyers, Frederick C. Kelly III and Glen K. Allen, consider equally suspect.
They comment:
“The District Court in this case condoned flagrantly unconstitutional conduct by dismissing the VDARE Foundation’s detailed amended complaint. The court’s error-filled ruling, unless overturned, disregards and nullifies decades of Supreme Court and Tenth Circuit precedents, allowing the government to shut down speakers and associations it disagrees with simply by sending hostile messages and refusing to provide police protection it routinely provides to other persons. The District Court’s holding directly Supreme Court cases such as Forsyth County v. National Movement, 505 U.S. 123 (1992) (‘Speech cannot be financially burdened, anymore than it can be punished or banned, simply because it might offend a hostile mob.’”
Accordingly, on August 14, 2020, we appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. (See here—PDF.)
On October 14, 2020, the City of Colorado Springs responded. (See here—PDF.)
Our lawyers are now working on our reply brief, due November 4.
After that brief is filed, oral argument should be scheduled within a few months. After oral argument, a decision should be issued within six to nine months.
In the past, VDARE.com’s lawyer readers have made helpful suggestions on briefs and I invite them to continue: email Frederick C. Kelly III here; Glen K. Allen here.
When I announced VDARE.com’s Legal Defense Fund in February 2019, I wrote that
…the nightmare world of litigation, which VDARE.com has been compelled to enter because of the Totalitarian Left’s demonizing, deplatforming, defunding Reign of Terror, is arduous, expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable.
Litigation is indeed unpredictable—and it’s certainly expensive. I appeal to you to help us—click here. (Please note that you can specify which of our legal campaigns you wish to support.)
I said in my February 2019 announcement that “patriots have rights. They have just not organized to defend them—until now.”
At that point, a Reign of Terror was already sweeping America, as I described:
The Radical Left has hijacked America’s corporations and policy makers to such an extent that the very existence of patriotic movements is at risk. A special target of their hate: any resistance to, or even discussion of, America’s immigration disaster. The elites on both the Left and Right have gambled everything on immigration-driven demographic change bringing them to power in America through cheap labor and cheap votes. They are absolutely determined to prevent patriotic immigration reform, by whatever means necessary. Their methods include shadow-banning; demonetization; deplatforming; denial of the right of free assembly; out-of-control vilification intended to intimidate and pathologize; and, in scores of incidents the Main Stream Media doesn’t dwell on, harassment and outright violence—extending all the way to the attempted murder of elected officials.
Now, nearly two years later, the reality of that Reign Of Terror is obvious even to ordinary, even apolitical Americans who know nothing about our tiny and beleaguered movement. Scores of cities have seen unchallenged riots, billions of dollars of damage have been done, but it is ordinary citizens who attempt to defend themselves that local officials have hit with extraordinarily vindictive prosecutions clearly designed to suppress all resistance to the Leftist agenda.
Samuel T. Francis, whose column VDARE.com carried until his premature death in 2005, coined the phrase “anarcho-tyranny” to describe the horrific situation when government will not protect citizens’ rights, but polices them intensely in other areas, above all if they attempt to defend their rights themselves—because it tacitly agrees with the anarchists’ goals.
In 2020, it is no longer possible to deny anarcho-tyranny has come to America.
I have no doubt that many people, probably including Mayor Suthers, would be happy if all public criticism of immigration were suppressed. Indeed, I expect that suppression to happen quickly if President Trump is not re-elected—and maybe if he is.
But right now, we do have the law, and the hope that justice will, eventually, be done—as it was in American Renaissance’s case (by a Clinton-appointed judge, let the record show).
I will post our reply brief when it becomes available. Meanwhile, again, I must ask you to please give generously to help us defend our rights, and yours—while we can.
I, and what the Founders described as “our posterity,” will be most grateful.

Yet, the petty crime and White House cover-up was blown up by a hostile Congress, media and special prosecutor's office to bring down a president who had just won 49 states and 60% of the nation.
In 1984, Ronald Reagan won a 49-state landslide. But when he lost the Senate in 1986, Washington, D.C., sought to break his presidency and bring him down for sending aid to anti-Communist Contras in Nicaragua. Reagan narrowly escaped to go on and win the Cold War for the West.

And Hunter Biden's business and investment career is like a California wildfire where the smoke can be seen in Colorado.
Consider. While Vice President Joe Biden was President Obama's point man on cleaning up corruption in Ukraine, son Hunter, with zero experience in the oil and gas industry, was suddenly offered a seat on the board of Burisma Holdings, a corrupt gas company in Ukraine, at $83,000 a month.
In 2013, Hunter accompanied his father to Beijing.
During his stay, Hunter apparently peeled off to arrange for $1.5 billion in Chinese funds to be transferred to an investment fund in which he was an advisor. So claims Trump.
According to a Senate report, in 2014, the widow of the mayor of Moscow transferred $3.5 million to an investment company started by Hunter Biden. Hunter's lawyer denies it.

Bobulinski, a former naval officer, claims that Hunter sought to leverage the Biden family name, and that he, Hunter and Joe Biden's brother Jim were involved in a project to raise cash from the Chinese. Moreover, the former vice president was a silent partner, the "big guy" in the operation whose name was never to be mentioned.
Bobulinski said he met with Joe Biden for an hour to discuss it.

Bottom line, says Joe Biden:
I have never received a dollar in foreign money. I never used my office or influence to advance my son's business with foreign entities. I never spoke to my son about any of his dealings in Ukraine, Russia, China or anywhere else.
Major media are either denouncing the allegations as unproven or ignoring the story, the motive for which is apparent. Journalistic duty be damned. We have to get rid of Trump. And anything that jeopardizes that highest of goals should be buried until after Election Day.
However, if Joe Biden is elected, the incentive to cover for him and for Hunter vanishes. The old journalistic enthusiasm for the hunt to bring down another president will reappear, and more information will come spilling out.

This report on immigration numbers from our friends at CIS is interesting:
Some encouraging numbers since Trump took office. Several graphs and charts, of which this "Trump Effect" one is the most salient.
Trump is finding a way even though swamp-critters and Kritarchs block enforcement and reforms that Americans want.
A different kind of analysis than Edwin Rubinstein's fine work on jobs and displacement. All useful information, and it's interesting to review the two reports together.

The VDARE.com Book Club presents... Halloween Stream 2020 with Dr. Barton Cockey and Elizabeth Cockey, authors of The Sacred Fury, a politically refreshing supernatural novel set in a dystopian future bearing a disconcerting resemblence to our present. (The Sacred Fury is available for a limited time at VDARE.com here!)
Unlike former exclusive podcasts, this edition will be publicly available! Readers are encouraged to send in their questions for the authors to assistant@vdare.com.
Happy Halloween!
Reviewed by John Derbyshire. Originally published on Amazon.com (now that's scary!):
Current fiction lists are not, to put it very mildly indeed, over-burdened with novels taking a disrespectfully satirical view of the West's current ideological Narrative — all the idiot cant of "privilege," "oppression," "triggering," "hate," "Nazis," and so on.
Barton and Elizabeth Cockey's The Sacred Fury takes just such a view. One of the principals, a college teacher of English, is suspended from her job for telling her students to discriminate between facts and opinions. Discriminate — eeeek! (I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that this incident is taken from life.)
Elsewhere in town — the town is actually present-day Baltimore — a statue of Babe Ruth has been vandalized as representative of "a white man's sport." In reaction, defenders of the statue "amazingly had managed to obtain a permit to hold a vigil on Opening Day [i.e. at the ball park] with prayers and speeches." This demonstration ends with violence:
"A large number of policemen were standing by with shields, channeling the demonstrators into a column of twos, through a gauntlet of what later news reports would describe as counter-protestors … Curiously, the riot police did not arrest a single counter-protestor."
Bring anything to mind? Those counter-protestors are in the service of an organization called Global Outreach Organizing for Diversity (G.O.O.D.), the brainchild of "megalomaniac currency speculator and destroyer of economies" Klaus Pyknos. The Cockeys' fictional world is not very distant from our own.
All this politically-incorrect fun is in service of a mystery-supernatural tale centered on Edgar Allan Poe, who died in Baltimore in 1849 and is buried there. The circumstances leading up to Poe's death are a real mystery, so there is plenty for the authors to play with here.
And that mystery-supernatural tale, which carries the main narrative thread of the story, rests on a just-visible metaphysical theme about the conquest of death, a theme that Poe himself touched on in his deeply weird 1848 "prose poem" Eureka, and that is also of compelling interest to Klaus Pyknos.
To describe the story any further would give too much away. Try The Sacred Fury for yourself.
