Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,

After hitting news highs in May, our traffic was a little lower in June: unique visitors and visits were down (but still above April’s levels), but pages viewed were slightly up over May’s.

6. Our Book Publishing

In May we published Gregory Hood’s Waking Up from the American Dream in Kindle. The hardcover and paperback versions were released in June. In June, we published a Kindle version of the second edition of Greg Johnson’s Confessions of a Reluctant Hater, which is expanded by 40%. In July, we will publish the paperback and hardcover editions. Also in July and August, we will publish Leo Yankevich’s The Hypocrisies of Heaven: Poems Old and New, Fenek Solère’s novel Rising, and Jef Costello’s The Importance of James Bond.

7. Our Amazon Affiliate Membership

In March of 2015, under pressure from the SPLC, which was amplified in the pages of the Washington Post, Amazon.com dropped Counter-Currents from its Affiliate Marketing program, which earned us about $6,000/year — a substantial financial hit to a business as small as ours. The SPLC’s aim, of course, is to put us out of business. Fortunately, our readers have rallied to our aid.
