Who Cares If MSM Dies? But There Are Stories You Won’t Get Without
VDARE.COM—And It Needs Your Help

[

By Nicholas Stix

"So as not to bury my lede:

It’s that time of year again—when we at VDARE.COM must pass around the
hat to our loyal readers, without whose generous support we could not
continue to provide the best journalism in America regarding all
issues related to the National Question, as in: Will the United States
of America continue as a nation-state, the political expression of a
particular people?

With the death knell of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer sounding in
February, as the paper’s staff sought donations to keep going, an SPI
reporter argued that without the newspaper, stories would go untold.

If only it were so.

Without Establishment newspapers, readers would likely miss out on the
following types of boilerplate:

Illegal immigrant sob stories;

Stories about the raceless victims of raceless criminals;

Press releases from big business, mercenary non-profits, and
encroaching government agencies, which SPI staffers would write up to
look like news stories;

Lindsay Lohan’s newest DUI arrest; and

White celebrities’ newest attempts to get positive publicity by
adopting black African babies they have no intention of raising.

As a longtime, unapologetic newsaholic, I am not celebrating the death
throes of the American newspaper. But American newspapers have no one
to blame but themselves. Their refusal to do their job led to readers’
refusal to patronize them.

But if VDARE.COM shut down, vital stories really would go untold.

Let’s look at some of the countless stories that readers saw through
VDARE.COM.

The Sailer Surge

In an election year, the media’s most vital job is to vet the
candidates. In 2008, instead, in a display of media corruption for the
ages, the Mainstream Media (MSM) acted as activists, operatives, and
shock troops on behalf of one candidate, alternately stonewalling the
public, race-baiting public critics, and even organizing a shameless
campaign of vilification, including criminal acts, against a private
person—Joe the Plumber Wurzelbacher—who had the temerity to criticize
their champion.

And yet, long before Election Day, VDARE.COM readers knew more about
the man calling himself "Barack Obama" than did most MSM journalists—
because VDARE.COM had done the MSM’s job.

In 2007, VDARE.COM’s often intellectually hyperactive Steve Sailer
focused his attention on that man like a laser, and wrote scores of
columns and blogs explaining what makes "Obama" tick, culminating in
the first VDARE.COM book, The Half-Blood Prince: Barack Obama’s "Story
of Race and Inheritance," which came out in late 2008.

In a just journalistic world, Steve would have won his second and
third Pulitzer Prizes this year – for biography (for his book), and
for explanatory journalism for the continuing series he began last
year, in revealing how the "minority mortgage meltdown" caused what he
calls "the Diversity Depression" which will hopefully be the subject
of Steve’s next book. (Steve’s first Pulitzer would have been for his
pathbreaking work for VDARE.COM on "affordable family formation"—the
public policies, such as immigration restriction, that would make)

Then again, of course, in a just journalistic world, there would be no
call for VDARE.COM.

Wearing his hat as one of America’s leading science journalists, Steve
wrote a three-part series on the crucifixion of Nobel Prize-winning
geneticist James Watson.

Steve has even coined a phrase of broad methodological significance
that encapsulates the MSM’s (and academia’s) anti-scientific thinking:
"Occam's butterknife."

The "Occam’s Razor" rule calls for a scientist to devise the simplest
possible explanation of phenomena in order to ascertain the truth. But
politically correct scholars seek to avoid the truth by any means
necessary. In spite of a world of group differences, they arrive at
the pre-ordained conclusion that all groups are equal in every way and
they give the most convoluted explanations imaginable for group
differences in everything from education outcomes to mortgage
foreclosure rates to crime. For instance, the science of intelligence
easily explains group differences in testing and education outcomes.
But since I.Q. science consists of what VDARE.COM has called "hate
facts", I.Q. is ruled out—and all manner of circular and fantastical
theories of "stereotype threat", "test bias", and "white racial
privilege" are invoked instead.

"‘Stereotype Threat’ a.k.a. Occam's Butterknife" February 15, 2004

"America and the Left Half of the Bell Curve: Part I: IQ and Why We're
Afraid to Talk About It" July 15, 2000

"Part II: How the Other Half Lives" July 18, 2000

2007

Immigration and Gender

Over the past three or so years, VDARE.COM’s indefatigable Brenda
Walker has been on a roll, writing on among other things, Third World
immigration and the abuse of girls and women. Newsrooms and college
faculties abound with thousands of feminists who jealously insist on a
monopoly on all discussion regarding the protection of girls and
women. But it is exactly these "feminists" who have betrayed both
American-born and immigrant girls and women, and joined the War on the
West. They have in effect joyously submitted to the misogyny of Third
World, with happy talk of "vibrant", multicultural immigrants. Hence,
if you oppose the importation of female slavery, the violent abuse of
girls and women, including genital mutilation, honor killings, and a
thousand lesser daily sexual degradations, it is to VDARE.COM that you
must turn. (By the way, Brenda is working on a book on the foregoing
topics.)

Some of Brenda’s stories:

"Dead Culture Walking: Muslim Colonization of Europe Should Frighten
America" March 26, 2009

Canary in the Coal Mine: The Status of Women vs. "Diversity" February
18, 2009

"Diversity is Strength! It’s Also…Selling Your 14-Year Old Daughter?"
February 05, 2009

"Diversity Is Strength! It’s Also… Witchcraft, Imported By
Immigration. (And, Yes, From Obama’s Kenya Too)" November 06, 2008

Crime News

You might think that America had enough homegrown criminals of her
own; VDARE.COM’s Brenda Walker has written hundreds of front page and
blog reports on the growth industry of immigrant felons, especially
the market niches of

slave owners and

homicidal drunk drivers

"immigrant mass murder syndrome", a term Brenda has coined to describe
a phenomenon that didn’t exist in my childhood, when old, boring,
undiverse America was enjoying a 41-year pause from mass immigration.

Thus when Chinese-Vietnamese immigrant monster Jiverly Wong aka Voong
murdered 13 people at a Binghamton immigrant center early this month,
the MSM approvingly quoted the local police chief’s inane condemnation
of Americans as having "caused" the mass murder, supposedly through
criticizing the English of Wong, who in 28 years here had never
bothered to learn English. In "The Binghamton Massacre—Latest Case of
Immigrant Mass Murder Syndrome," [April 05, 2009] Brenda was the first
writer with the courage to state the obvious:

"…immigrating to a completely foreign culture is a vastly more
disorienting experience [than leaving home for college or having
child], where the possibility for failure is real and life-affecting….

Yet when a horrific immigrant mass murder episode occurs, the
wrenching stresses created by multicultural immigration are never
considered by the Main Stream Media or Washington legislators as a
major cause. In fact, every other reason on earth is dragged out—
particularly when the political agenda is to blame America, its people
and the Second Amendment."

Over the past three or so years, the indefatigable Brenda has produced
the equivalent of at least two excellent books on immigrant crime:

"Meddling Mexico Funds High-Priced Lawyers to Help Immigrants Get Away
with Murder" September 11, 2008

"‘They Also Kill People In Your Town’: San Francisco Triple Murder
Highlights Immigrant Crime Wave" July 31, 2008

To my knowledge, no journalist in America has done a more thorough job
than Brenda Walker of chronicling America’s immigrant—legal and illegal
—crime wave.

Crime and Race

Crime is clearly not a job that "Americans won’t do", but writing
honestly about crime is a job that America’s MSM refuse to do, even
though crime ranks up with sports in readers’ interest. Although
interracial crime first exploded during the 1960s, and in recent
years, black-on-white rape-torture-murder atrocities have become
routine, the MSM’s response was to suppress such reporting, as a
matter of conscious policy, and to race-bait anyone who does the job
they have refused to do.

VDARE.COM’s editor-columnist-blogger-fact checker James Fulford has
written a series of classic articles on this subject: "Race, Relevance
and the Public’s Right to Know," "Ann Coulter on Willie Horton, Joey
Fournier—And What Life is Really Like", and "Hate Crimes, Real Crimes,
and Relevance." James has even introduced the article category," not
reporting race," which is not limited to crime stories.

I have written a series of VDARE.COM articles on black-on-white crimes
and racial atrocities:

The Duke Rape Hoax,

Knoxville Horror,

Winchester Atrocity

the Anne Pressly rape-torture-murder
Environmental Reporting

The unfortunate people who depend on the MSM for information assume
that "environmental" groups such as the Sierra Club (which until 1996
pledged its support for population stabilization), are fighting
pollution, over-population, and to defend America’s natural
treasures.

In contrast, VDARE.COM readers know the truth through Brenda Walker’s
exposés, such as "Sierra Club Sellout Worse Than Ever." [April 10,
2008]The environmental movement has been hijacked by the left wing of
the Open Borders Lobby, and the Sierra Club was bought off for $100
million by hedge fund entrepreneur and Open Borders fanatic, David
Gelbaum.

Conserving America’s natural treasures, such as her national parks, is
a classic environmentalist concern. But here, too, the Sierra Club in
indifferent. As Brenda has detailed in reports over the years, such as
"Mexican Gangsters Converting America's National Parks into Gigantic
Marijuana Patches," [November 13, 2008]America’s national parks in
several states, with Sequoia National Park in California the hardest
hit, are increasingly being stolen and plundered by illegal Mexican
immigrant drug gangs, the franchisees in El Norte of Mexico’s
narcoterrorists. They have taken over large swathes of the parks for
the cultivation of hundreds of patches of marijuana, turning them into
no-go zones for Americans taxpayers, who pay for their upkeep, who are
their owners. And not only are the narcoterrorists stealing our parks,
but the environmental havoc they cause spreads to ten times the area
actually cultivated:

"These Mexican marijuana messes are an ecological disaster. They are
not innocent little plots that leave a minimal footprint. They are
industrial grow sites, toxic stews where the gangsters use dangerous
and illegal chemical herbicides, pesticides and growth hormones that
result in long-lasting environmental damage."

The foxes are guarding the henhouse.

Due to sanctuary policies and de-policing, local parks are also being
stolen and destroyed. In 2007, VDARE.COM’s Steve Sailer observed in
"Report From Occupied America: Sunday in the Park with Jorge," [July
22, 2007]Los Angeles’ "public" Hansen Dam Park, which had been seized
from the American taxpayers, and privatized by illegal aliens from
Mexico who made no tax contribution to its support, and who wrecked
it. They buried the grass in garbage and excrement, set fires that
caused massive damage, brought in horses that were illegal, unhealthy,
and extremely dangerous, in an area jammed with people and many small
children, for an illegal trade selling rides for kids.

California’s Immigration Disaster—And America’s

VDARE.COM’s Joe Guzzardi was born and raised in California, but
recently fled its dystopia for Pittsburgh.

His archived VDARE.COM columns paint a portrait of the greatness that
was California, and the destruction, through runaway immigration, of
the once Golden State. And following California’s, that of the
country.

Joe G. also mans our sports desk, and has for years been our letters
editor, a job in which he has been ably assisted by Kevin Lamb (who
recently published a powerful, wide-ranging interview with historian
Raymond Wolters).

Joe has reported on how the replacement of the American people
continues apace in professional baseball and college sports programs.
Who’d have thunk that even playing big time sports was a "job
Americans won’t do"?

Joe also acts as the sole judge of VDARE.COM’s annual Worst
Immigration Reporter Award, bestowed on the reporter who that year
stood out among all the country’s shameless open borders shills. In
2008, Joe bestowed the award on the Wall Street Journal’s Miriam
Jordan.

Public Health Reporting

VDARE.COM has led the way with the story of how America’s immigration
disaster has reintroduced into the country diseases that had been
conquered generations ago, such as tuberculosis. "Give Me Your Tired,
Your Poor … Your Infectious Diseases?" by Edwin S. Rubenstein.

Quantitative Journalism

Quantitative analysis is so integral to journalism that the term
"quantitative journalism" should be redundant. And yet, it isn’t. Most
MSM journalists are innumerate, and hostile towards numbers. But in
spite of their ignorance, they correctly intuit that for what they
seek to wreak on American society, numbers are not their friends.
VDARE.COM’s Steve Sailer and economist-statistician Edwin S.
Rubenstein in his VDARE.COM column "National Data" are America’s two
leading quantitative journalists.

One of Ed Rubenstein’s many contributions to journalism has been his
"VDAWDI": VDARE.COM American Worker Displacement Index. With this he
has for years tracked employers’ practice of supplanting American
workers with (often illegal) immigrants who work under often horrific
conditions, typically for a fraction of the wages the American workers
earned.

Financial and Economics Journalism

Although VDARE.COM does not advertise itself as a site for economics
journalism, it was founded by top financial journalist, Peter
Brimelow, and has a brilliant stable of writers on finance on economics
—Paul Craig Roberts, Patrick Cleburne, Randall Burns, et al., who have
in recent years repeatedly either beaten out the MSM or academia or
who break stories about which those moldering institutions engage in
bizarre world propaganda. In addition to the aforementioned series by
Steve Sailer, we have run:

Peter’s Brimelow’s Explication of Financial Corruption and the
Minority Mortgage Meltdown; September 30, 2008

Takuan Seiyo’s "The Case of the ‘Disappeared’ Sub-Prime Borrower";
September 22, 2008

Randall Burns’ Revolutionary Work on the Economic Value of American
Citizenship; and

Patrick Cleburne’s Devastating Analysis of the SPLC’s Finances. April
08, 2009 (VDARE.COM calls it the "$PLC")
And of course, VDARE.COM is without parallel in the field of
immigration policy reporting, particularly the continued attempts by
America’s elites to ram through a nation-ending mass amnesty of
illegal immigrants.

The MSM

For its entire nine-year existence, VDARE.COM has been a thorn in the
side of the MSM. VDARE.COM reported on the War on Christmas, and put
the story on the map; the MSM recently denied that any such war
exists. When a VDARE.COM reader complained a few months ago, to a
Portland, Oregon-based reporter of propaganda she’d tried to disguise
as reporting, she contacted his employer and tried to get him fired
from his job. And just two months ago, the seemingly omnipotent yet
near-bankrupt New York Times, working in tandem with the $PLC,
published a series of editorials attacking VDARE.COM, its founder
Peter Brimelow, and contributor Marcus Epstein by name. We’ve got them
on the run!

About Our Readers:

VDARE.COM has some of the best readers around: Clever, passionate, and
above all, well-informed, often through hard-won experience. And our
editors treat them with the respect they deserve. They even treat the
abusive ones, who deserve no respect, with decency. Some
correspondents such as Scotland’s Martin Kelly, have graduated from
getting critical letters published to writing supportive articles.

Contrast that with the MSM. I’ve spent hours researching and writing
letters to major newspapers that were never published, while insane
letters with fabricated facts from political fringe cases were.

It’s one of the ways, along with push polls, that newspapers construct
a fraudulent consensus. And yet another reason why they are going out
of business.

Our generous readers make our work worthwhile, and support us in every
way imaginable. And it is to them we must turn, yet again, for
material support. Please make a tax-deductible donation to The
VDARE.COM Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable organization that
sponsors VDARE.COM.

I thank you. And your posterity will, too.
