The War On Easter, 2026—And The War On VDARE.com

The War on Christmas was first Noticed back in the 1990s, but the War on Easter has developed much more recently. Specifically, I first reported the surreptitious substitution of something called the “Spring Bunny” for the Easter Bunny as recently as 2010. Now the darn thing is hopping around everywhere—part of the mounting attack on the Historic American Nation and its symbols.

This year, if you Google “spring bunny” in Google News, or “spring egg hunt” you’ll see that all over America, teachers and community center types are being told not to say ”Easter” when they have a children’s Easter Egg Hunt.

Here’s what’s happening in Berkeley, CA this year:

The City of Monrovia, CA is also holding one:

Recently Disney changed from Easter to Spring Bunny at Disney World:

It’s pure Leftist ”Culture War” stuff›—the kind of thing the makes schools rename Christmas “Winter Break”—and it’s the kind of thing Peter Brimelow and I fought at VDARE for almost 25 years. Sadly, this is the second anniversary of this announcement on VDARE by Peter Brimelow: “IT IS FINISHED”—NYAG Letitia James Crucifies VDARE.com.

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes:

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.[Read the whole thing]

VDARE.com remains suspended, and Peter Brimelow is still battling with Letitia James’s minions in court over VDARE.com—and I still don’t have a full-time job. That’s why I have to make an Easter Appeal for paid subscriptions to my readers. I really need the money. I had the same job for VDARE for over 20 years, and I could use the skills I used on VDARE, and am still using for this Substack to write for mainstream publications or at least mainstream conservative publications, but the SPLC’s attacks on VDARE render me unemployable in most such outlets, because if they did hire me, they’d be accused of “platforming” someone hateful.

In a 2011 post asking for money to support VDARE.com, and my former salary, I compared my pre-VDARE financial condition to Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol:

I believe this is from Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol.

If some more of you can convert to paid subscriptions (above) I can upgrade to Bob Cratchit levels of financial security, and you get a chance to be a patron of the arts.

Whether you managed a paid subscription or not, I want to wish you all a Happy Easter once again

(“By a happy coincidence, Easter Sunday falls this year on the thirty-fifth anniversary of Enoch Powell’s great speech on immigration—given in Birmingham on April 20, 1968. This neatly intertwines the themes of spiritual and national death and resurrection in a way that might have pleased Powell, who had been a fierce atheist as a young man and whose equally fierce if unorthodox Anglicanism in later life was explicitly related to his appreciation of the English Church as an expression of the English nation.”)
