Jim Goad has produced a short film to accompany his latest essay, “The Aspiring-Rapper-to-Expired-Rapper Pipeline,” on Rylo Huncho, the aspiring rapper who accidentally killed himself while showing off a gun on a livestream. (more…)

Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,
Again, there’s a lot going on at Counter-Currents, so I thought I would combine several announcements into a single post.
The 2024 Fundraiser
We started the 2024 Fundraiser at the end of March. Our goal is $300,000. We have now raised $21,526.32. That’s a major step forward from last week. I want to thank everyone who helped out.
But our fundraiser is still way behind this year. (more…)

On May 9, 2024, Jared Taylor released a video entitled “What Is Our Goal?” that, quite frankly, surprised me. After a litany of well-chosen illustrations of America’s decline, he declares:
It doesn’t matter who is elected President this year or four years from now or 40 years from now. It’s over. We can’t take the whole country back. We’ll have to settle for something less. (more…)

One of the most fascinating documents I’ve read in recent months is the proudly-titled “Hearings before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives. Eighteenth Congress. First session on the Urgent Deficiency Appropriation Bill for 1947.”
The so-called Subcommittee on Deficiencies consisted of Chairman John Taber (New York), Clarence Cannon (Missouri), Francis Case (South Dakota), Albert J. Engel (Michigan), Frank B. Keefe (Wisconsin), John H. Kerr (North Carolina), George H. Mahon (Texas), Karl Stefan (Nebraska), and Richard B. Wigglesworth (Massachusetts), and it was tasked with the eternal job of governments everywhere: Finding out where the money went and how to get some more. (more…)

All liberal, socialist, and Marxist societies, regardless of their specific economic system, have one thing in common: They are all tied to the economy. (more…)

Last week, for the first time in too long a time, I found myself again in Rome. Europe is changing so rapidly that returning to once-familiar places no longer feels like a homecoming. It feels like entering an alien terrain for the first time. I perceived a similar sensation when I visited Ireland again after an absence of a few years. Shops and locales that I frequented have been closed down or replaced and renamed. Inflation — and in the case of Ireland, a sudden and record-breaking influx of migrants and “refugees” — has caused prices of the formerly cheap hostels where I used to stay to increase by 1,000%.

The news reports agree: Last Wednesday’s self-inflicted accidental gunshot death of a 17-year-old Virginia rapper was a tragic event.
MSN reprints an article from something called Hip Hop Vibe:
Virginia’s drill rap scene was shaken by the tragic news of 17-year-old rapper Rylo Huncho. He wound up fatally shooting himself in the head while recording a TikTok video. The incident occurred at his home, leaving family, friends, and fans devastated . . . (more…)

When James Edwards asked me to speak at The Political Cesspool’s 20th Anniversary Conference in South Carolina earlier this year, I accepted on the spot and cleared my schedule. I knew that it would be a fantastic event. I knew that the finest people that I have met in the movement would be there. (more…)

I normally consider myself to be rather mild-mannered. I hadn’t been angry in ages, but today, I could feel the ire rise in my gorge like volcanic heartburn after too many bad chimichangas at a Chinese-Mexican restaurant. (more…)

Tom Wolfe
The Painted Word
New York: Farrar Straus and Giroux, 1975 (many editions since)Long before he died, Tom Wolfe deeded his archives to the New York Public Library (NYPL). When he passed on in 2018, the NYPL put up a little “pop-up” exhibition in commemoration. It would have been bigger, but the Library had just done a slap-up interview and celebration with Wolfe a year and a half earlier, and had mounted another small display of Wolfeiana a year before that.

The Gospel of Christ
The Roman Army, led by Pompey, conquered Syria and the Levant in 63 BC. Less than three decades later, Julius Caesar conquered Egypt. The Romans indirectly ruled Judea through a client king, Herod the Great, an Idumean. As in Idumean, he was not racially Jewish and only nominally practiced the Jewish pseudo-religion. (more…)

Richard Wagner was born on May 22, 1813 in Leipzig in the Kingdom of Saxony. He died on February 13, 1883 in Venice. As an artist, intellectual, author, and cultural force, Wagner has left an immense metapolitical legacy, which is being evaluated and appropriated in the North American New Right. I wish to draw your attention to the following writings which have been published at Counter-Currents. (more…)
