VDARE's Soul Is Marching On!
GUARDIAN's Alaina Demopoulos Freaks Out About DHS Patriotic Posts, Cites VDARE.
[“A Prayer For A New Life,” by Morgan Weistling.
VDARE.com and I just made a cameo appearance in ‘The nefarious message behind the DHS ‘manifest destiny’ painting: ‘four pillars of propaganda,’’ by Alaina Demopoulos, The Guardian, July 23 2025.
Basically, Demopoulos is having hysterics because the Trump-era Department of Homeland Security’s X account is periodically posting iconic American images with helpful comments like “Remember your Homeland’s Heritage” (see above).
About the post above, Demopoulos ululated:
To some, the post seemed like authoritarian propaganda, similar to what was put out by Joseph Goebbels about Aryan motherhood in 1930s Nazi Germany. “In case you had any doubts about the white supremacist thing,” one X user responded to the post.
See what I mean by “hysterics”?
What kind of image would Alaina Demopoulos prefer—a portrait of George Floyd?
The plain fact is that she is motivated by pathological anti-white and anti-American hatred. (Same thing, really).
As for VDARE.com and my own cameo role, Demopoulos writes:
[Adam Klein, associate professor at Pace University, studies how extremist movements infiltrate American media and politics] said the post brought to mind similar themes used by VDare, a far-right, anti-immigration website that launched in 1999 and suspended operations last year. [N.B. needless to say, no mention that we suspended because of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ ongoing unconstitutional lawfare]. VDare was named after Virginia Dare, the first child born to European settlers in the “new world”. Since the 1800s, white supremacists have glorified her memory, though all we know of her is her birthdate and the fact that she disappeared as part of the “lost colony” of Roanoke. Dare’s image and disappearance are ripe for racist projections, including the conspiracy theory

though Lydia hates it—what do readers think?]
of a “white genocide” perpetrated by non-white immigrants.
As far as I know, I am the only evidence that “white supremacists” a.k.a. American patriots have a special interest in Virginia Dare. That’s because I named my immigration patriot website after her in 1999.
Was President Franklin D. Roosevelt a “white supremacist”? In 1937, he gave a speech commemorating the 350th anniversary of Virginia Dare’s birth.
But in 2018, the writer Andrew Lawler, obviously well-connected, did succeed in conning a mainstream publisher into accepting this fantastic thesis, and got uncritical Big Foot reviews for his book The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
I wisely declined to deal with Lawler except by email. So I have on record my refutation of his attempt to link me with Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller, and my careful explanation of why I am not a “white supremacist,” which of course he ignored.
I later summarized:
Pausing briefly to point out that I have repeatedly said on VDARE.com that I’ve only met Bannon and Miller one time each, and that Lawler’s “white supremacist” smear occurs in the very same paragraph that quotes me saying that Virginia Dare exemplifies America’s (Anglo) cultural origins, I urge readers to note that Lawler does not really blame us for Virginia Dare emerging as “a symbol of white nationalism” at all—he blames the entire sweep of American history.
(My full discussion and transcript of interview here).
And that’s the real issue—the Demopouloses and the Lawlers (for whatever reason) hate the entire sweep of American history.
Lawler wote in his book:
The infant of Roanoke offers us two very different futures. We can be martyred for some imagined race, or we can recognize that to be American is, in its essence, to be willing to redefine our beliefs, goals and even our ethnicity. Only by getting lost can we become something new.
My comment:
Guess who will get to “redefine” America.
Still, I am delighted to see that, almost exactly a year since we were forced to suspend VDARE.com, its soul is marching on—and striking terror into communists.
Next, the resurrection.
I've been over at Facebook looking at the ICE webpage. For each post they make, there's a small army of libtards who come out and attack ICE by calling them Nazis or Gestapo. Never mind that many of the ICE agents are Hispanic themselves.
I have been responding by pointing out that Eisenhower felt so strongly about fighting Nazi Germany that he called his book on it "Crusade in Europe". He viewed the war as being good versus evil. Yet, when Eisenhower became President, he launched Operation Wetback and deported a million illegal aliens primarily from Mexico. I then ask the libtards if this makes Ike a Nazi.
Likewise, I point out that Winston Churchill held firm against the Nazis when the Nazis had overrun much of Europe. However, Churchill didn't think much of Indians from India nor Amerindians. Towards the end of his life, he wanted to campaign on a slogan of "Keep England white." Again, I ask them if that made Churchill a Nazi.
I have yet to have a response from any of them. They cannot seem to process it. The only lesson they seem to have taken from World War II is that white people must be the problem.
So, when ICE's X account is posting classic paintings of the American frontier, they only associate it with white supremacy. Fine, but if it's white supremacy, then aren't they benefiting from it? The west was conquered by white settlers or pioneers. The immigrants can vilify the settlers afterwards, but the immigrants happily take the "stolen land" for themselves while berating those that made a system allowing them to take it.
I like the pic. Reminds me of Beethoven.
