Last year: THE FULFORD FILE: This Memorial Day Is The Second Anniversary Of Antifa/BLM Attack On The White House. Why Has That Gone Down The Memory Hole?

Podcaster Jesse Kelly, a veteran of the Iraq War, makes the same point the late Kevin R. C. O'Brien (a veteran of Afghanistan) used to make—Memorial Day is not Veterans Day. It's about the ones who didn't come back[“Happy Memorial Day?” | WeaponsMan, May 30, 2016].

REMINDER: Do not water down Memorial Day with your niceness. It’s a day to honor those who gave their lives while serving in the military. It’s not for “veterans and cops and first responders!”

It’s only for the fallen. And their families. They deserve their own day.

In Greenwich, CT, a white woman named Alma Rutgers thinks it's about George Floyd and slavery:

The reason that comes up is because it was a Memorial Day weekend, when Floyd, high on fentanyl, tried to pass a counterfeit 20 dollar bill...and died while he was resisting arrest. See Steve Sailer's Will We See a Push to Rename Memorial Day as George Floyd Day? May 14, 2021 and the New York Times's May 25 Should Be a Day of Mourning for George Floyd, May 21, 2021.

There were riots, aided and abetted by local governments, almost immediately, and an attack on the Trump White House, mentioned above, which has been memory-holed, although it seems much more like an "insurrection" or attempted Color Revolution than January 6, 2021, seven months later. [At least 60 Secret Service members injured during George Floyd protests in DC, Fox News, May 31, 2020]

But that's not what we're meant to remember on Memorial Day.

Memorial Day, is a specific American holiday, going back to the Civil War.

Our overseas Anglospheric readers celebrate Remembrance Day on November 11 (Armistice Day in the US) in honor of a soul-destroying, seemingly pointless slaughter that destroyed the old order between 1914 and 1918.

But by 1914, the United States had already been memorializing  its own soul-destroying, seemingly pointless slaughter

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, yet another of those white Mexicans, who might be Mexico’s next president, just visited Oklahoma and Florida, both of which have Republican governors. It was bad enough that he attended the opening of a consulate a.k.a. Reconquista Staging Area in Oklahoma City. But in Florida, he openly campaigned against the state’s new immigration laws that require, among other things, employers to use E-Verify. Strangely, the GOP/GAP does not seem to have noticed this open meddling in U.S. affairs. Is it asleep?

The Consulate In Oklahoma City

As I have written repeatedly through the years, Mexican consulates are centers of Mexican meddling. They defend illegal aliens, promote dual citizenship and claim sovereignty over American citizens of Mexican ancestry. Mexico has planted 52 two of these subversion centers on American soil, the largest consular network in the world.

Thankfully, my home state of Oklahoma didn’t have one, at least until recently.

And that wasn’t a hardship for Mexicans residing in the Sooner State. Five neighboring states have consulates. From Oklahoma City, it’s just about five hours to Little Rock and Kansas City and three hours to Dallas. Mexicans tend to drive fast, so the drive times are less than they would be for Americans! (And I’m only half-joking about that).

The point is, Oklahoma didn’t need a consulate. But Republican Governor Kevin Stitt and Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt didn’t agree, so they campaigned for a consulate in Mexico City. In 2021, Stitt even traveled to Mexico, Made-In-China sombrero in hand, to lobby for one. And Stitt and Holt got what they wanted: an outpost of Mexican meddling in the capital city.

Congratulations. Good job, Treason Lobbyists!

Stitt, Holt, and a high-powered Mexican delegation merrily dedicated the facility on May 20 [Gov. Stitt celebrates launch of Mexican Consulate in Oklahoma City, by Kevin Severin, Fox 25, May 20, 2023].

“It was such an honor to attend the grand opening of Oklahoma’s Mexican consulate,” Stitt tweeted.

Our summer conference at the Berkeley Springs Castle opens three weeks from today, June 16th. We are all excited about it, anticipating three days of debate, fellowship, and fun.

Also defiance. I noted back in January the lawfare we’re engaged in with New York State Attorney General Letitia James, a dogged and ruthless Social Justice Warrior. The other day our boss here, Peter Brimelow, described in much greater detail what we are going through.

It makes for painful reading, not just for those of us writing and podcasting here at VDARE.com, but—surely!—for anyone who cares about the liberty of American citizens and the degradation, the cynical politicization, of our justice system.

It’s a bitter fight; and, as Peter explains, one that’s taking a toll on us. There’s the time we have to spend complying with A.G. James’ preposterous subpoena demands, the money we have to spend on legal fees, and the opportunity cost for projects we’ve had to abandon or postpone.

We stand defiant, though, bloody but unbowed. The Berkeley Springs Castle is a symbol of our defiance, and next month’s conference is an expression of it. Onward and upward! Excelsior!

Steve Sailer, who’s been an inspiration to the Dissident Right for nigh on a quarter of a century now, will be making one of his extremely rare public appearances.

I shall be speaking myself, speech title something like: ”Are We Doomed? Reflections on Our Cultural Revolution.” I shall take as the starting point my 2009 book We Are Doomed, returning to some of the topics I covered there—including of course immigration—to see which direction things have moved in this past

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign announcement on Wednesday got off to a rough start with a glitchy Twitter Space that shut down before he even began speaking [Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign launch melts down in Twitter glitches, by David Ingram and Matt Dixon, NBC, May 24, 2023]. But once he began speaking, he delivered a speech many immigration patriots would like. His first topic was immigration and the invasion at the southwest border. He also attacked Critical Race Theory and the “woke mind virus.” DeSantis looks like a strong America Firster in what he says and in his record. But his personality and some of his actions cast doubt on his being a great nationalist leader. Despite the many good things about him, he might not have what it takes to lead the GOP in the right direction.

“American decline is not inevitable—it is a choice. And we should choose a new direction—a path that will lead to American revitalization,” DeSantis said as his opening pitch. “I am running for president of the United States to lead our great American comeback.” He quickly shifted to the southwest border, where drugs and illegal aliens are pouring into the country. He emphasized that crime is hollowing out American cities and that woke indoctrination is ruining our schools. He offered a platform of strong borders and law and order to challenge the chaos that the radical left has inflicted upon Americans with impunity since Biden took office.

The theme of this conference—the year 2050—is a difficult one for any speaker, but especially for one like myself who rejects all forms of historical determinism. I do not believe anything is foreordained, neither our own triumph nor that of our enemies, and our task as a movement is not to try to see into the future, but to prepare ourselves as best we can for whatever it throws our way. Let me give you an example of the harm that can result from thinking otherwise.

Most of you are probably aware that Americans of European descent are currently expected to make up less than half of the United States population by around the middle of this century, if not a little sooner. Such forecasts are nothing new, however. Only the publicity surrounding them is new. The legal changes that ushered in America’s demographic revolution occurred back in the 1960s. Projections already made clear over a generation ago, during the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr., that whites were destined for minority status by some time in this century. A few far-sighted people attempted to warn of this looming catastrophe, but the response from the Reagan and Bush administrations was that such a thing was simply impossible. Whites would never be reduced to minority status, and it was idle even to talk about it.

In 1993, Bill Clinton was inaugurated President of the United States, and announced to the American public that “in a little more than 50 years there will be no majority race in the United States” [Commencement Address at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, June 13, 1998]. His administration explained that this change was inevitable—and, of course, it was going to work out wonderfully for all concerned. So we have here what looks like a total change of attitude: The capture of America by nonwhites is impossible vs. that capture is inevitable. But note that from a practical point of view, these two apparently opposite positions function identically: both amount to an injunction to do nothing. First we were supposed to do nothing because there was no need; then we were to do nothing because nothing could be done.

Shouldn’t there have been at least a brief interval during which whites were indeed headed toward minority status in the United States but might have changed course by taking appropriate action? To hear our government
