Among the many problems in the Inept American War Machine is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. It was recently revealed in a book by Bob Woodward, Peril, that Milley had contacted senior military officials in China during the final months of the Trump administration to assure them that he would warn them should then-President Donald Trump order a sudden attack. Furthermore, Milley had more than one conversation with the Chinese on this matter. This all took place at a time of increasing tensions between the United States and China. (more…)

A few words about my friend Charlie. He was like an older brother. There was no falseness about him, and that is what would get him in trouble. He could have faked it and found himself materially better off in the (((self-admiration society))) that passes for art today. But being true to himself he could not be false to others. (more…)

Painter, ceramicist, poet, and political provocateur Charles Wing Krafft was born on this day in Seattle. Charlie was a friend of Counter-Currents from the start. He appeared on Counter-Currents Radio podcasts, attended Counter-Currents retreats, spoke at Counter-Currents events, contributed artworks for the front and blurbs for the back of Counter-Currents books, and even made original artworks to commemorate H. P. Lovecraft and Francis Parker Yockey. (more…)

Francis Parker Yockey was born 104 years ago today, September 18, in Chicago. He died in San Francisco on June 16, 1960, an apparent suicide. Yockey is one of America’s greatest anti-liberal thinkers and an abiding influence on the North American New Right.

It can be incredibly annoying when famous blacks do “based” things. On one hand, I can see the value of blacks being politically divided, and it’s fun to see white liberals go into damage control and explain how such a person is a race traitor. On the other, such incidents are catnip “hope porn” for bluepilled normie conservatives that gives them false hope that maybe multiculturalism can work after all.

But sometimes a black person does something that is so based that it goes beyond where most normie conservatives are willing to follow. (more…)

My theory on Feds is that they’re like mushrooms: Feed ’em shit and keep ’em in the dark.
–Mark Wahlberg’s character in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed)

The gracious and courtly Harald Keith Thompson — he told me to call him H. K., as we had too many Keiths around — would never put it that crudely. But when it came to disseminating (mis)information, H. K. and Marky-Mark were very much on the same page.

The wonder is that some investigators would gladly repeat his stories as gospel truth even when they knew Thompson liked to tease and deceive. (more…)

The Great Detective: The Amazing Rise and Immortal Life of Sherlock Holmes

George W. Bush makes great fodder for Counter-Currents articles. Any time he makes a public pronouncement, it’s worth writing about. We last saw him condemning “White Anglo-Saxon Protestantism” as un-American back in May. Last weekend, he condemned his own voting base as equivalent to the 9/11 hijackers.

Bush spoke at a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania last weekend. In the speech, he repeated the lies about the “white supremacist” terror threat — without actually using the term: (more…)

California is well-known for wildfires — both in the forest, and in politics.

Norm Macdonald knew exactly what a modern comic wasn’t supposed to say. He also knew why, in these repressive times, the only remaining funny material is what you’re not supposed to say. And no one had quite the same skill in saying the ghastliest things with such an innocent twinkle in their eye.

Macdonald, who died Tuesday after nine years of very privately dealing with acute leukemia, had the finest comic mind ever spat out by Saturday Night Live. (more…)

An enemy will always pressure you to act against your vital interests — whether by words or by force.

He celebrated a mass before thousands of Hungarian Catholics at Budapest’s Heroes’ Square. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had a front-row seat, and later spent 40 minutes with the Pontiff, along with Hungarian President János Áder, at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. (more…)

Spencer J. Quinn
Solzhenitsyn & the Right
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill

The widespread perception of Solzhenitsyn as a figure inseparable from the vanished world of the Cold War has become an obstacle to appreciation of his works. To some extent, an earlier generation of his Western admirers contributed to this misunderstanding: e.g., many Cold War conservatives were dead set against any discussion of race, which would make it impossible to apply any of Solzhenitsyn’s insights to our struggle against today’s racially-obsessed Left.

If you’ve ever wanted to deliver massive doses of red pills to your friends, David Duke’s My Awakening[1] can be considered an entire bottle of them.

What is it about guns that make people on the Left hate them so much? Why do they harbor so much contempt not for the criminals who use them on each other and on innocents, but the “law-abiding” (coded word: translate as “un-woke whites”) people who insist on owning them?

Begin with the basics: A gun is an amazing instrument of power. An infirmed, elderly man wielding a derringer can defend himself against a young, strong assailant. (more…)

Bread and Chocolate, a 1974 Italian film written and directed by Franco Brusati and starring Nino Manfredi, came when immigration was heating up in America.

In front of my barracks every morning, a doleful squad of Turks hopped off a truck to collect good, clean, municipal German trash while a burly German in a truck waited for them to do the drag and hassle before driving on.

1. Our Fundraiser

Summers are notoriously slow for fundraising in our community, but interest and support generally rise after Labor Day, and the bulk of the funds raised every year come in the last few months. This year, Counter-Currents is trying to raise $200,000 this year to sustain and improve our work. Since our last update, we have had 10 donations totaling $245, for a total of 777 donations and a grand total of $95,059.37 since we started our fundraiser on March 10th.

A “Cony Struggling in the Net”:^[1] The Plantagenets vs. the Plantagenets

 Legendary for its blizzards and blood, the fifteenth-century English conflict known as the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487) was poetic in name and savage in fighting. Medieval warfare was the most physically brutal form of battle Westerners in their long history have ever fought: huge, murderous fistfights of chaos and close combat in which few were afforded a “clean” death.

In 1992, former world champion chess player Bobby Fischer became a criminal. An American citizen, he violated US economic sanctions against the then-nation of Yugoslavia by playing a rematch there against his old rival, Boris Spassky. In a press conference before the match, he spat on the letter from the US government which demanded he not participate. Despite twenty years of inactivity, he won the match 10 games to 4, earned $3.5 million, and in typical Fischer fashion, declared that he had successfully defended the title which he had in fact vacated in 1975.

As part of an effort to better understand, and if possible, return to tradition, I’ve been plumbing the depths of folk tales, reading accounts of oral traditions, stories, legends, myths, sayings, epic songs, and other linguistic cultural artifacts of times past. One significant understanding I reached in my explorations is that pre-modern man placed a great value on luck as a factor in success or failure. Contrasting that is the modern view that chance plays a lesser role in the world. But what if the old folks had it right? (more…)

They don’t emphasize that numerous cultures throughout history have mandated their children to wed close relatives because it strengthens ingroup loyalty and ensures that every member in the group “stays in line” and adheres to their traditions. They don’t understand that Muslims are healthily in tune with their ingroup identities, not the benefits of “humanity.” (more…)

Will future historians look back at 2020 and proclaim it the year America died? Maybe. But that’s for future historians to decide. My thesis is different. For me, and for many other patriotic white Americans, 2020 definitely felt like the year America died.

Yes, the corpse of America is still shambling around on the world stage. In this respect, the presidency of senile Joe Biden and the speakership of taxidermized ghoul Nancy Pelosi are perfect symbolism. But the spirit of America has fled. Something different, something alien is animating America’s corpse. (more…)

The Second World War ended with Europe under the domination of two extra-European powers: the United States and Soviet Russia. Most of the post-war far Right regarded America as the lesser of two evils and sided with Washington in the newly-emerging Cold War. In The Enemy of Europe, Francis Parker Yockey rejected this consensus and argued instead that Europe’s identity and destiny were endangered far more by American than Russian domination. (more…)

It’s a story as old as time: A leading figure in a “white supremacist terror” group turned out to be a federal informant. This time it was Atomwaffen. Joshua Caleb Sutter was exposed in court records in a case dealing with an indicted Atomwaffen leader. Federal authorities, without naming Sutter, admitted to paying him over $140,000 since 2003 for his work as a confidential informant. They had paid him over $80,000 since 2018, when he took over leadership of the group

Sutter makes for an ideal informant due to his long history in the movement. His father was a preacher associated with Aryan Nations who brought his son into the fold. Sutter the Younger was arrested in 2003 on a weapons charge and served a short stint in prison. This was the start of his cooperation with the federal government. (more…)
