I have been a reader (not too frequently, but enough) of VDare.com.
This is absolutely sickening, a true crime against the Constitution, and we have to be aware of this & actually FIGHT BACK.
Sick, sick, SICK!!!!!
TL;DR:
VDARE.com was a highly successful operation... But it has been murdered by New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
It’s important to note that she’s not charged us with anything. But under James, New York State has become what liberal law professor Jonathan Turley has described as “The Land The Law Forgot.” https://jonathanturley.org/2024/06/24/the-land-that-law-forgot-the-supreme-court-and-the-new-york-legal-wasteland/
She has waged unprecedented, unethical and unscrupulous lawfare against, for example, the National Rifle Association and, most notoriously, against President Donald J. Trump.
And, much lower down the food chain, against the VDARE Foundation.
We have been registered, alas, in New York State since 1999, before anyone had ever heard of lawfare. Or of Letitia James.
To repeat: James has not charged us with anything. She has simply battered us to death by a massive and intrusive “investigation” that bears no rational relationship to any conceivable offense. We estimate we’ve spent upwards of a million dollars on compliance, let alone hundreds of hours of work. All of these resources should have gone to our mission: advancing the cause of Patriotic Immigration Reform.
Letitia James is quite obviously aiming at suppressing our speech. But the New York State courts have completely declined to protect our First Amendment rights.
Re: payment cancellation & de-personing:
t turns out that the problem is the banks. Even when the payment processor wants to work with us, the banks won't. And, in fact, we don't even think it is the banks in the end. We think it's the federal regulators. Federal regulators are bringing pressure on banks to suppress unwelcome speech, just as they're bringing pressure on them to stop gun sales and so on.

Another reason to use Bitcoin whenever possible. It’s not controlled by the banks and its transactions cannot be censored.
BTC = free financial speech
Eh..... I get your point & agree with the premise, but I'm more comfortable with Gold & Silver.
As I see it (NOT shittng on BTC: just my personal preference & opinion):
In order for BTC to work as a medium of exchange, BOTH parties need - At a MINIMUM:
I just find it so much more complicated & cumbersome than gold & silver...
Again; not shitting; just my humble opinion.
