Thanks to the Unz Review iSteve Community commenter who pointed out this video a couple of weeks back.



Peak Stupidity was excited when Mrs. Lydia Brimelow, not just Peter's wife, but the now-former business manager of the VDare Foundation, was interviewed by Tucker back in February of '24. That was before the Lawfare done by NY Attorney General Fatass Leticia had finished the job and finally shut them down based on finances. That was in late July of the same year.

I'd been pretty excited then, because, in my mind at least, Tucker was a more widely-viewed pundit at that time. I'd thought Lydia would get more chances to talk about the Immigration Invasion itself, but Tucker kept the conversation focused on the lawfare, with a sympathetic view.

In this interview, Peter Brimelow tells Mr. Carlson about a lot of things, but more about his time in the political (and way back, financial) world, the lawfare again, other more famous media figures, etc. Were VDare still up, this big plug for his site would have been a great thing. THIS past year and going forward would have been the best years of VDare's existence!

Alas, this interview is mostly about history, though the formerly taboo subject of the elimination of the White race is discussed. The youtube page has a nice outline:

441,000 views is not bad at all. Pay close attention, if nothing else so that you can keep up with Mr. Brimelow's Yorkshire(?) accent. He's an immigrant, you know... He explains that part...

If you have time, there are almost 4,700 comments under the video. I already know the story, and I don't have that much time.

PS: Well, that was a full essay, Mr. Hail. As I often tell you, it’d be good to put these on your site - I know you’re discouraged about the search-censorship - as your last post was almost 1/2 a year back. Comments there would first of all work better (somewhere between PS and TUR, closer to the latter…), they could stay on this subject, and they would be still “current” for a good while.

Anyway, I should have written “immigrant” rather than “foreigner”, as I do agree completely with what you wrote about Mr. Brimelow, such as, for starters:

“Brimelow may be a foreigner legally (on paper), and his accent may make him seem one. But these are surface-level differences. He's not much of a foreigner at all. The accent and maybe certain references of mannerisms or personal sartorial choices (and the outdated 1970s hairstyle, but he was born in 1947) make him SEEM more foreign than he is. He is NOT an ethno-cultural foreigner at all.”

He’s been doing a great job. A guy at the end - last I checked - of that Ron Unz post thread I mentioned in the next post, was concerned very belatedly about the demise of the VDare site. Hopefully other commenters will explain things - I’m awfully busy trying to get things through Ron Unz’s thick head.

Another thing is that I have not been able to find the video since soon after I watched it - not claiming censorship, but now it might be impossible due to the end of the site - but in one talk between Mr. Brimelow and Mr. Derbyshire, the JQ came up. Mr. Brimelow was up for this discussion, but Mr. Derbyshire was not really. (It was just a minute or less.)

PS

-- Appraising Brimelow in the 2020s... Brimelow as not a foreigner at all; Brimelow and the JQ; Epstein as a personification of the JQ; our people's unpreparedness for the 20th century --

With Steve Sailer in the Epstein Files for a 2005 essay on Jewish IQ, and with the now-revealed level of Epstein's constant denigration and mockery of non-Jewish Whites (he mocks and disparages Whites as "goys" all throughout the Files), the Epstein affair is a tidal wave pointing towards Brimelow's theory that the Jewish Question is quite paramount.

Brimelow and the JQ: Brimelow turned his attention towards the Jewish Question in the past about ten years. He doesn't "obsess" about it like some Unz commenters, and he doesn't let it cloud his judgement to the point some people can. But the man is definitely against the influence of our Hebrew friends and understands exactly what the game is. Have his views changed, or has he just feeling emboldened with age in his 70s?

In former years, Brimelow hardly mentioned our Hebrew friends or their many schemes and long tradition of undermining host societies, their leading role in "Regime ideology" and Wokeness (to repeat myself). In privacy I expect he'd have been able to make those observations even back decade ago. He didn't talk about them. Something pushed him towards more openness on the point. The opposite happened with Sailer, who stopped writing critically about this group and its influence, at some time in the 2010s.

Is Brimelow a "foreigner"? I say no.

Brimelow may be a foreigner legally (on paper), and his accent may make him seem one. But these are surface-level differences. He's not much of a foreigner at all. The accent and maybe certain references of mannerisms or personal sartorial choices (and the outdated 1970s hairstyle, but he was born in 1947) make him SEEM more foreign than he is. He is NOT an ethno-cultural foreigner at all.

A wide band of the peoples of Europe, however defined, and certainly everyone native to anywhere that could reasonably be called "Northwestern Europe," is close cultural kin to White American core. They are formed by the same intellectual-civilizational tradition. The distinctions are very small, compared to differences to be made with peoples from the further reaches of the globe. The large majority of "immigration" into the US before 1970 (and a huge, huge majority before ca.1890) was not of cultural foreigners but of cultural kin.

So Peter Brimelow is thinking about political questions in the wider, pan-Western sense. And I mean Western here not as a euphemism for White, but actually West geographically, west of the Hajnal Line (say), the high-trust original NATO bloc and vicinity. The questions facing the Netherlands or a country like that, are surprisingly similar to those facing America. Certainly so for the UK. For all the talk Brimelow does of "the American nation is still intact, except at a national level inundated with Woke-ideology-mandated foreigners," he's really not talking about America but about the White West.

____________

One thing Brimelow has come to terms with is: White Americans, and others of our close kindred, were not prepared for the 20th century, and are trying to catch up. The mistakes and tragedies (such as the senseless 1914 war and its tragic rolling consequences across the globe) can be blamed, but really the challenges we faces were something we were not prepared for.

The "JQ" is among the biggest things we were not prepared for, and is a kind of template for all the low-trust/low-ethics/high-IQ elite-immigrant groups of today.

We never rose to the challenge of understanding the dynamic at play once the Jews began entering the North America from Eastern Europe in the mid-1880s (and even more heavily towards the latter years of the "Ellis Island" period).

Peter Brimelow knows this, and has seen the need to strike the root and actually mention the taboo. You can't attack Vivek Ramaswamy and the legions of others like him, much less the Ilhan Omars, without coming to terms with the "JQ."

_________

Jeffrey Epstein. We ask, How could a man like this manipulate elite-level events for so long? The sad answer is, he's not atypical.

The man was a classic, quintessentially, shrewd-manipulative, nepotistic, hostile, slick, amoral, cosmopolitan-paranational Jew. H

is famous "connections to intelligence" are no surprise to those who know how this type of character operates. And no surprise to the Peter Brimelow of today.

The way the Epstein-type of character operates doesn't necessarily have to be for, or through, or in-any-way-touching, a formal intelligence agency. (Although the early-mid-20th-century anti-Semites' predictions about Israel being used as a global crime-base to which Jewish criminals could flee after swindling locals, is not without truth.) People like Epstein and very large numbers of his fellows are, almost as a rule: highly networked, nepotistic, ambitious, involved somewhere along some line with big-money financing and manipulation, and tending to be unethical by our standards. Many of them are outright swindlers of a criminal type, in which the unethical and ambition sides get outsized influence within a mind, in ways that we would never even consider.

There was a guy arrested two weeks ago in California for swindling millions over about six years, from a homeless charity he claimed to run, and which the California taxpayer footed the bill. He claimed to be feeding thousands of homeless a day with nutritious meals, but the operation was 95% a scam and he pocketed the money and lived a millionaire lifestyle. The scammer turned out to be a Persian Jew. There are still plenty more Whites of European origin in Southern California. But the mega-swindler of homeless assistance funds end up being one of the Chosen after all. (That was the least-surprising news of the day when I read it.)

(BTW. If you pay close attention, a lot of the jokes and zany plotlines or discussion-points in the 1990s show "Seinfeld" involved deeply unethical behavior, but the Jewish writers of the show twisted it for comedy and had an attitude of "There he goes again." That's probably how his fellows thought about Epstein.))

The "Epsteins" out there commit crimes against host-population but seem to get off scot-free and are even rewarded by the system.

Yes, Epstein himself died in prison, but only after decades of doing whatever he was doing, with an unusually charmed life. He was a personification of the way these people have lived for so long within our host-civilization.

Peter Brimelow knows all this well, having been around such people for many decades and seen how they operate. His being a "foreigner," to the extent he is one, meant he avoided being co-opted by the same sort of people.

__________

As I say, it's my conclusion that the Western nations around the mid-19th century were not prepared for Jewish emancipation and what it would mean. For the release of Epsteins all throughout the land. (A few did see it, but the tide of history was running against anti-Semites even as early as the late-19th century. Even so, as Ron Unz has shown, there was major and morally-intellectually serious anti-Jewish feeling in the US even into the mid-20th century, although fading and without much power or prospects, just the attitudes and instincts of everybody but losing control of the culture).

In the USA it has been difficult to move in the direction Brimelow moved on the JQ because of their huge presence in numbers (there are today only around 20 full-Whites to 1 Jew n the US, with concentrations as high as 5:1 in certain major urban power centers) Their numbers, their money, their nepotism and ruthlessness, and the ideologies and "narratives" they've created and which we live by, have blocked this for decades. And it's no hyperbole to say they have complete control of US foreign policy under Trump, and have had elements of steering-directional control for a long time measurable at least in decades now.

POSTSCRIPT: The above commentary is more direct than Peter Brimelow is willing to do, even now, but I think the views shine through much of his commentary.

PS: Good afternoon, Mr. Kief. I had been spending my internet time elsewhere (you know where). It’s a bitter, but not sweet symphony. That’s it though. Thanks.

PS
Elites are on the same wave - - or in the same sound system, by & large.
This unifying dynamic works like a symphony - differences in unison et. - vice versa.

PS: I’m glad you watched the video, SafeNow, first of all.

Yes, what you wrote reminds me of people’s arguments about the Deep State, the PRP, etc. There don’t have to be meetings with action items and memos sent out for people to be on the same page and do the same thing.

No, it’s probably not conspiring. It’s a bunch of judges who would rather use the law for their own ends than apply it fairly as a decent person. I guess were’t beyond the decent person thing on both sides now.

“Conscious Parallelism” - Thanks!

PS
Tucker was puzzled that no federal judge would take-up Brimelow’s clear first-amendment argument…James had openly admitted that Brimelow was being shut down because they disagreed with his opinions. Brimelow replied to this by saying: I think that the message has gone out through Judge Central that any case that smacks of white nationalism must be stopped at all costs. i’m not sure I got that exactly word for word because of the accent, but I’m sure that was the clear gist of Brimelow’s statement. A very interesting concept…Judge Central …on this issue. I can agree that exists. it is not necessary for the judges to actually have a newsletter or get together and conspire. rather, it is like the antitrust concept of “conscious parallelism” for price-fixing.
