6. Our Book Publishing

In January I am taking a break from editing the CC webzine to focus on getting some new titles through the press. Upcoming releases include Fenek Solere’s novel Rising, Jef Costello’s The Importance of James Bond, Christopher Pankhurst’s Numinous Machines, Anthony M. Ludovici’s Confessions of an Anti-Feminist, the Dark Right and The Alternative Right anthologies, a couple of volumes of interviews, and a new collection of Greg Johnson’s essays called In Defense of Prejudice.

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.
