After a rise in traffic late in May, primarily due to Dominique Venner’s suicide, our statistics returned in June to the plateau they have been at since February.

2. Our Webzine

In June, we added 70 posts to the website, for a total of 2,756 posts since going online on June 11, 2010. We also added more than 500 comments.

3. Our Anniversary and Fundraising Efforts

Counter-Currents marked our third anniversary on June 11, 2013. Since Counter-Currents, like all journals that go against the current of time, needs the support of donors to thrive and grow, we kicked off our annual Summer Fundraiser on our birthday. The fundraiser will run until Halloween, October 31. Our goal is $50,000, and we have raised $8,301.50 so far, which means we have $41,798.50 to go. Thank you again to all our donors.

Our financial situation, and what you can do to help out, are outlined in my article “Movement or ‘Stuckment.’ [2]” Please consider making a donation today.

June was a strange month at Counter-Currents. Due to Google and other search engines, 12 of our top 20 articles were first published months or years ago, and many of these articles were more popular this June than when they were originally published. It is a sign that Counter-Currents does not publish ephemeral material. Our articles matter year after year, and so they will be read year after year. Thanks to all of our writers, not just the people in the top 20!
