Soros-backed radical NY AG Letitia James has basically shut down conservative magazine “VDARE” through lawfare…

from Revolver News:

The Soros-backed operation is moving at a very worrying speed, knocking presidential hopefuls off their paths and silencing conservative voices at a rapid rate. At the forefront of this Soros army is the radical New York Attorney General Letitia James. She’s spearheading a baseless crusade against President Trump. But there’s more—James is also targeting a key conservative magazine, VDARE. This magazine is outspoken about the Biden administration’s handling of border security and the so-called “Great Replacement Theory.” Of course, it’s far from just a “theory” at this point, it’s increasingly looking like our stark reality.

Letitia James has killed VDARE

‘The suppression of VDARE’s voice, at a time when the immigration debate is moving to a climax, is of course a political scandal’

even if you don’t care about VDARE, you should care about this assault on independent mediahttps://t.co/EFepAjotts

What’s happening to VDARE is reminiscent of something you’d see in Soviet Russia or North Korea. But no, it’s happening in the People’s Republic of Amerika.

VDARE:

I launched VDARE.com on Christmas Eve 1999. So it is perhaps appropriate that, on Good Friday 2024, the anniversary of Christ’s death, I must announce VDARE.com’s crucifixion by New York State’s communist Attorney General Letitia James.

On March 27, 2024, in another of her lightning-fast NYAG James-compliant rulings, New York State Supreme Court Judge Sabrina Kraus held us in Contempt of Court because we have not yet complied (because we were fighting it) with her January 23, 2023 order that we meet NYAG James’ massive and crippling subpoena demands.

Judge Kraus did modify her earlier order to reflect the intervention (much appreciated) of the Institute for Free Speech. So now we no longer have to reveal, explicitly, the names of our pseudonymous writers, some of whom would certainly be fired from their jobs if their identities leaked.

But we are still required to review 40 gigabytes of emails, an enormous amount. And of course these could in fact reveal the names of those pseudonymous writers, as well as our donors, privileged communications with lawyers, etc.

Judge Kraus has also now allowed us to redact these emails. But this is a huge task, which our lawyers estimate could cost as much as $150,000.

An observer tells us this order is more typical of major corporate litigation, not a tiny charity.

And, perversely, although Judge Kraus has now modified her January 23, 2023 order, she is nevertheless now fining us $250 a day for not complying with it.

We have fought NYAG Letitia James, at a cost of up to $1 million, for nearly three years. But now we are literally hanging on the cross.

REMEMBER, VDARE.com HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH ANYTHING—BECAUSE IT IS NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING.
