PETER BRIMELOW'S 'YOUTH'-FUL INDISCRETION

We don’t expect the new paleo-con student group Youth For Western Civilization (YWC) to have a long shelf life, but when it does disappear, VDARE’s Peter Brimelow needs to go with it. This dysfunctional creature likes to creep around Washington, DC pushing behind the scenes for some sort of race war that he is pissed no one wants – save maybe for that dark-skinned Filipino woman named Michelle Malkin who writes for his website. Brimelow apparently thinks his fortunes probably rest with a younger generation, so in addition to getting married to a woman young enough to have gone to school with the Olsen Twins (pictured), he is pushing YWC really hardcore. If Marcus Epstein’s involvement with the group isn’t hastening its demise fast enough, rest assured the damn-near pedophille Brimelow pretty much ensures it. The question we have is why would a respectable company like CBS be an enabler to a clown that works to destroy who we are as a people? Brimelow is a financial journalist who writes for their MarketWatch section. And yeah, every now an then he sneaks his political agenda into his financial writings from time to time. Not exactly sound financial advice one could trust, eh? This is definitely one guy you should keep your money – and your kids – away from.

With the recent hubbub Youth For Western Civilization has been making in the press, we think it’s time to dig a little deeper into this new crop of young hatemongers. Who is behind Youth for Western Civilization? Could this be an organic movement of young conservatives, or is it – like so many other examples from the reactionary right-just a sock-puppet for bigger monied interests? You don’t have to scratch too deeply to find out. Proudly listed as a sponsor is none other than the notorious British immigrant Peter Brimelow, whose past is littered with his attempts to make racist and anti-Semitic viewpoints more palatable to mainstream conservatives. Using the notoriety gained as stock market predictor for CBS “MarketWatch,” his frequent appearances in the Wall Street Journal and his former position as the editor of Forbes, he has easily found audiences at the racist American Renaissance Conferences and donors for his main source of income, the racist website: VDARE.com.
Vdare.com claims it advocates reduced immigration, especially illegal immigration, into the United States. Many watchdog groups who have been following the articles on the website can very easily point out the racist and xenophobic flavor. With a long string of links to various sites such as “White America”, the racist “Occidental Quarterly”, anti-Semite “Kevin MacDonald” and a barrage of sites opposed to the immigration of cultures of color, it is plain to see why Vdare is on our radar.

Vdare.com has been an internet hate resource since 2000. It was started by a $100,000 grant from The John M. Olin foundation via the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) for Public Policy while Brimelow was a senior fellow there. PRI is described as conservative think tank that challenges environmental regulations. Brimelow channeled PRI funds through his then-newly created Center For American Unity to give VDare the money to start their website. Brimelow founded the Center for American Unity in 1999 and served as its president (it has been recently succeeded by Edith Hakola). Vdare was created out of CFAU and was tooled as an arm of CFAU. Brimelow and his Vdare.com now no longer share any affiliation with CFAU. Vdare recently announced a funding crisis, despite the generous yearly salary of $378,418 he pays out for himself from donations. This is most likely linked to CFAU splitting from Vdare.com.

CFAU’s weight now seems to be thrown behind Edith Hakola’s American Unity Legal Defense Fund, with their mutual focus being legal battles over what it considers to be threats to America: mass immigration, multiculturalism, multilingualism, and affirmative action. CFAU and Vdare are both listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate organizations.

Vdare has an interesting list of Board members: the former editor-in-chief of United Press International, John O’Sullivan, now involved in Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Peter’s brother, John Brimelow of Greenwich, CT, a hustler on the gold and silver markets. Rounding out the other two board members on the roster are Vdare writers John Wall of Scarsdale NY, and Joe Fallon of Rye, NY.

Other writers and contributors to Vdare are Michelle Malkin, Steve Sailer, and Brimelow’s wife (40 years his Junior) Lydia Sullivan Brimelow, who uses the alias “Athena Kerry” on the Vdare site.

Brimelow’s latest ties to hate seem to be from the newly created college organization called “Youth For Western Civilization.” Brimelow was listed as this group’s sponsor along with Morton Blackwell’s Leadership Institute at the 2009 conservative conference, CPAC.

Youth for Western Civilization is headed by Vdare hate writer and contributor, Marcus Epstein, whom is also the director for Pat Buchanan’s American Cause and Bay Buchanan’s Team America PAC. Youth for Western Civilization has also been marked as a hate group by the SPLC and has been inciting strong opposition to their presences on the campuses of American University, North Carolina University, Vanderbilt University and now Providence College in Rhode Island.

Brimelow is a regular at American Renaissance conferences, Holocaust denier gatherings as well as Council of Conservative Citizens meetings in the Washington DC area.
