Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,
October was another very strong month. We backed off from our peak number of unique visitors in September, but we had our highest number of page views ever. There has been a steep and steady rise in traffic since June. This is not merely due to a few viral articles, although those helped. There are also structural factors at work:
- YouTube censorship is causing dissidents to leave that platform looking for more vital ones.
- Twitter is increasingly dead due to censorship, so dissidents are leaving that platform as well.
- The establishment continues to push multiculturalism, globalization, and the Great Replacement, driving people to look for alternatives, and more and more of them are finding Counter-Currents.
If you are a new reader, please tell us how you discovered Counter-Currents and why you come back. Just leave a comment below.
1. The Challenge of Deplatforming
Despite the good news about our webzine, October has been a devastating month in terms of deplatforming.
First, we were deplatformed from two more credit card processors. This was a major blow. We currently have no way of selling books or taking donations by credit card. Thus we are extending our fundraiser, which usually ends on Halloween, to the end of the year in order to make our goal.
It is becoming increasingly clear that deplatforming might no longer allow us to continue supporting Counter-Currents through book sales and small donations from a large number of supporters. There may come a day — very soon, actually — when we simply can no longer take conventional online payments at all. At that point, we will only be able to receive money through:
And not a lot of our supporters will make that transition, unfortunately.
Realistically, that means that if Counter-Currents is going to continue to grow, we must cultivate a smaller circle of high-commitment, high-dollar patrons. I know you are out there. Until now, you have been part of a much larger donor pool, and you could take that into account when calculating your support. Now, we can no longer take that for granted. So I would like to talk to you about increasing your support to make Counter-Currents less vulnerable to deplatforming. If you want to help out, please contact me at editor@counter-currents.com.
Second, in late October, Counter-Currents received the following email from Amazon.com’s Kindle Direct Publishing:
Hello,
During a review, we noticed that you submitted content we consider offensive, which is a violation of our content guidelines. As a result, we are terminating your account and agreement effective immediately.
Here is an example of a book that you submitted through your account that falls into this category:
Confessions of a Reluctant Hater, Greg Johnson B01GYX9J08
As part of the termination process:
• We will close your KDP account.
• You’ll receive any unpaid royalties you have earned.
• You’ll no longer have access to your account. This includes, editing your titles, viewing your reports and accessing any other information within your account.
• All of your published titles will be removed from sale on Amazon.
Additionally, as per our Terms and Conditions, you aren’t allowed to open any new KDP accounts.
You can find our Terms and Conditions, here:
https://kdp.amazon.com/help/topic/G200627430
If you have any questions, please email us at kdp-account-status@amazon.com.
Regards,
Amazon KDP
First of all, in corporate-speak, “review” is a euphemism for an executive receiving a phone call from the Anti-Defamation League or Southern Poverty Law Center. We have seen the same euphemism in emails from the credit card processors that have deplatformed us this year.
Second, this represents an escalation of tactics used in the past. Previously, Amazon simply removed titles they regarded as “offensive.” Now they are canceling entire accounts. The Kindles they will no longer sell include my book From Plato to Postmodernism, Tito Perdue’s novels, collections of poems by Leo Yankevich and Juleigh Howard-Hobson, and literary and film criticism by Jef Costello, Trevor Lynch, Christopher Pankhurst, and Jason Jorjani.
Third, being banned from opening new accounts is not just ideological censorship, it is economic warfare directed at me as an individual.
I am exploring launching legal actions and orchestrating negative publicity against Amazon. If you want to help, please: Stop buying things from Amazon.com, and let them know why.

5. How You Can Help Counter-Currents
We are trying to get a new payment processor. But this may take some time.
In the meantime, if you would like to make a donation, please consider:
If you plan to send a donation by mail, especially a large one, feel free to drop me an email to let me know.
Finally, we would like to broach a very delicate topic: your will. If you are planning your estate, please think about how you can continue helping the cause even after you are gone. The essay “Majority Estate Planning” contains many helpful suggestions.
Please give generously!

What payment processor does RedIce/Lana’s Llama use? They seem to be able to use credit cards.
“Previously, Amazon simply removed titles they regarded as “offensive.” Now they are canceling entire accounts.”
But the previously banned books, like your manifesto, seem to be back again in hardback and paperback. Have they changed their minds about them?
Yes you are correct
I purchased towards a new nationalism on amazon.co.uk recently, Lots of Gregs books are available still on the UK site.
Not that it needs to be said, but Amazon is scum. Unfortunately, even if every WN stops buying from them it won’t make the least bit of difference. Better to buy things at the cheapest price possible so that one has more money to donate to Counter-Currents, even if that includes Amazon.
I recently discovered your site because I googled Jose Antonio Prima de Rivera – I did this as I have been following the terrible events in Spain re the removal of General Franco’s body from the Valley of the Fallen and the fact that, now they have the bit between their teeth, the Socialists will do the same to Jose Antonio’s body.
Re your newsletter – I am proud to say that I have never used Amazon and I never will – Amazon is a destructive force that has destroyed many small businesses – not to mention the fact that it treats its employees with contempt and disdain which is how the left treats human beings in general.
Thanks to all my readers, of all the interviews I’ve done, I do think my one for Counter Currents with Derrick Jensen is likely the most interesting of them all.
Greg Johnson just got arrrested in Oslo and thrown out of the country by the norwegian police…That must mean that he is a guy worth following…
I take that as a sign that he and Counter currents is on the right path….
Can money be sent by post from Continental Europe? Frankly, converting local currency to dollar wouldn’t be a terrible loss.
I was in Norway 10 years ago. It was startling talking to Norwegians. They are completely brainwashed that government is the answer and that flooding their homeland with Africans is a great idea.
A lost cause if their ever was one. The right needs to stop fighting each other. We need to fight together and win this once and for all. And yes, I know some on the right really aren’t our friends. But there are enough of us now that agree on the main ideas that we can start moving.
Found this site due to Greg Johnsons arrest in Norway. Best PR you could ever get?
I discovered Counter-Currents by reading this article, posted on https://www.whatfinger.com.
“Community: Are Women Destroying Academia? Probably”
The Unz Review

Thoroughly enjoyed spending this Sunday morning, rooting around in C-C’s treasure trove of important and timely info. I’ll be back.
[NOTE: I concur with the statements and opinions expressed in this article. Would love to see these ideas applied to government, as well. BTW, I’m a female, but not a feminist.]
I found this site when I heard Greg was arrested.
I found you after a certain criminal politician referred to the “alt right” as an evil, destructive force, so I decided to find out what the term meant. I was pleasantly surprised to discover kindred spirits articulating great insights. It confirmed a lot of hunches to realize that the folks actually making sense are the ones being maligned by the powers-that-be.
