Counter-Currents
The Counter-Currents 2020 Fundraiser Counter-Currents is my University
Quintilian785 words
As an elderly academic, I have predicted for more than 40 years that the American higher education system would eventually destroy itself in a frenzy of suicidal mayhem, intellectual dishonesty, and downright graft. The Coronavirus has accelerated the decline of higher education and laid bare to all its shallowness, hysteria, and anti-white animus. It gives me no pleasure to see the academe in ruins, but I realize now that nostalgia for the almost irenic setting of my undergraduate days is merely a form of self-delusion. No more lamentations for a past that cannot be reproduced. Like a beloved pet that has become rabid, alma mater must be put down, and the sooner the better. It is inhumane to prolong its agony.
I have stopped all contributions to the college from which I graduated. That money now goes to Counter-Currents. I urge all of my readers to do the same. The intellectual depth and quality of the writing in Counter-Currents far exceeds any scholarly journal currently being published. I am proud to be a writer for the website.
Counter-Currents is now my university.
Here is how you can help.
This year, Counter-Currents is trying to raise $150,000. Since our last update, we have received 21 donations totaling $2,803. Because we have a matching grant, that amount has been doubled to $5,606. We have so far received 276 donations totaling $28,584.62. This is a wonderful start, and we are most grateful to all of our donors.
Our Matching Grant is for 20,000 euros (that’s $22,727 at present exchange rates). This means that the next $19,984 donated will be doubled.
Credit Cards
Currently, we are unable to take credit card donations except through a site called Entropy. Entropy is a site that collects “paid chat” or “superchat” donations for livestreamers. But they can take donations any time.
Just go to our Entropy page and select “send paid chat.” Entropy allows you to donate any amount from $3 and up.
If you want to leave a question or comment, they will be read and discussed on the next Counter-Currents Radio livestream, which air on Sundays noon PST/3pm EST on dlive: https://dlive.tv/Counter-Currents
Money Transfers
If your bank does free money transfers to other banks in the US, please contact [email protected].
Gift Cards
Gift cards are a useful way to make donations. Gift cards are available with all the major credit cards as well as from major retailers. You can either send gift cards as donations (either electronically or through the mail) or you can use them to make donations. Simply buy a prepaid credit card and click here to use it. If you can find a place that sells gift cards for cash, they are as anonymous as sending cash and much safer.
Checks and Money Orders
Sometimes the old ways are best. The least “de-platformable” way to send donations to Counter-Currents is to put a check or money order in the mail. Simply print and complete the Word or PDF donation form and mail it to:
Counter-Currents Publishing, Ltd.
P.O. Box 22638
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA
[email protected]
Thank you, Boomers, for keeping your checkbooks, envelopes, and stamps. There are youngsters reading this site who have never written a check or put a letter in the mail.
Bill Payment Services
If you wish to make monthly donations by mail, see if your bank has a bill payment service. Then all you need to do is set up a monthly check to be dispatched by mail to our PO box. This check can be made out to Counter-Currents or to Greg Johnson. After the initial bother of setting it up, you never have to think about it again.
Crypto-Currencies
In addition to old-fashioned paper donations, those new-fangled crypto-currencies are a good way to circumvent censorious credit card corporations.

- Click here for a basic primer on how to get started using crypto. Do not, however, use COINBASE. COINBASE will not allow you to send money to Counter-Currents. (Yes, it is that bad.)
The Counter-Currents Foundation
Note: Donations to Counter-Currents Publishing are not tax-deductible. We do, however, have a 501c3 tax-exempt educational corporation called The Counter-Currents Foundation. If you want to make a tax-deductible gift, please email me at [email protected]. You can send donations by mail to:
The Counter-Currents Foundation
P.O. Box 22638

Remember Us in Your Will
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.
Remember: those who fight for the Golden Age live in it today.
Thank you again for your loyal readership and generous support.

Greg, you should make available a DVD-ROM with all the Counter-Currents articles in TXT format.
Given text is small in size, and assuming you have the capacities to burn DVDs, it wouldn’t be hard.
Or, you could sell access to a private FTP server wherein we could download a ZIP file with all of the CC articles neatly organized in one place
But my computer only accepts floppy disks …
When I built my desktop about a decade ago, I specifically made sure to get a motherboard that had a floppy drive serial port, and various other legacy ports (e.g., PS/2, 24 pin serial port, etc), on it. That was around the time they were phasing out a lot of the older backwards compatible stuff and streamlining motherboards. Probably impossible to get today, unless from a speciality manufacturer.
When I purchased my laptop a few years ago, I specifically got a ThinkPad, in part, because they have CD/DVD drives built in, and backwards compatibility with the various software and DVD movies I’m amassed from the 90s to present day was an important functionality.
Spiritually, I am a tech Boomer.

That’s what torrent was invented for.
I majored in Art History at UCLA, 1968-1970, after 5 years of attending night classes at local community colleges in Los Angeles , in order to get my AA, while working days full-time. Yes, that can be done. I still receive requests from UCLA to donate money or ‘remember them in my will’. But since I ran across a book by Professor Peter McLaren entitled “Revolutionary Multiculturalism: Pedagogies of Dissent for the New Millennium” 1997, part of a series: ‘Critical Studies in Educational Theory’, which introduced me to the horrors of multiculturalism as taught in our universities today — I have definitely said ‘NO!’ to any of my money going to UCLA! So, check out the schools you attended, and see what courses are taught, what departments are in existence (that’s an eye-opener for sure), and what books are being written by their professors.
I am pleased to send a few bucks to CC when I can, and to include them in my will. I made sure of that recently, when I had stomach flu and thought for sure I was dying within days of the Chinese Bat Flu. But, you never know, so do it now.
As for UCLA, I probably should send them a dime since this professor has greatly educated me as to what is going on in our universities today, and word for word, how it has come about. I highly recommend this book as background reading, but I’m glad I found it at a thrift shop and didn’t put any money in McLaren’s pocket.
That’s a massive matching grant – it’s the biggest one I’ve seen yet for CC. There’s something very satisfying about spending money in a righteous manner. The spiritual and intellectual honesty from everyone involved in the project is paying dividends. The situation in my country is such that one is compelled with the threat of a fine and/or imprisonment to pay for the expenses of the state TV channels who produce indoctrination propaganda in the far left new religion that aims at the demise of my nation and all Europeans. It feels great making a donation to CC, if only I could offer such a grant myself!
Counter-Currents is our Academy and Dr Greg Johnson is our Socrates.
Long may they flourish!
(I have not yet mastered cryptocurrency, but I will continue to buy the books when and where I can).
“Quintilian” has always been one of my favorite writers here. I had a suspicion he might have had a professional academic past.

First, I have NEVER given a dime to my elite private college. Not in 35+ years. Why should I? Even back in the Reagan Era, I was already thoroughly disgusted by my college’s leftism, though I must acknowledge that one of my grad school recommenders was a famous Marxist political scientist who knew how differently we thought about politics, and yet still possessed the intellectual and moral integrity to recognize my academic ability and potential. To be candid, he did view me, however, as a militant anticommunist as well as free enterpriser, which I was and remain. He did not know of my then already more than merely nascent white nationalism. My senior thesis advisor did know of it, and refused to write me a rec on the grounds, as he put it in private correspondence to me in my year off after graduation, of {I’m not lying!} my “belief in the incompatibility of nonwhite peoples and the continued survival of Western civilization”. This was the early/mid-80s, but I already knew the score. (What I did not understand until decades later was just how thoroughly evolutionarily inferior whites really were, how susceptible the majority of our race is to egalitarian sentimentality and utopian brainwashing.)
So of course no white preservationist should ever donate any money to any school at all (perhaps an exception could be made for a truly conservative Christian school, if any exist, and one is imbued with that belief). Our resources are limited; why give to our enemies? Indeed, given that ensuring the purity and perpetuity of the white race is clearly the overarching issue of the age, I don’t think anyone – including pious Christians – should ever give money to anything EXCEPT pro-white causes, and perhaps a few implicitly white political activist groups (eg, I’m a member of the NRA, and encourage other white nationalists to join). We must help our own and only our own – no one else ever will (including our fellow whites who remain unawakened).
Second, I cannot, however literally agree with Quintilian’s statement that CC far exceeds the standards of any scholarly journal. Such an overbroad statement makes us look silly and self-referential. There is a vast amount of excellent scholarship being produced all the time (as well as lots of faux-intellectual garbage). Perhaps what Q means is that CC is tops within the field of honest and informed discussion about race. This might well be accurate, but not because there are not highly intelligent people discussing racial issues in university (and non-academic leftist) publications. Rather, it is because nearly all professional “scholarly” discussions of race are conducted within a (part intentionally, and by now part unconsciously) deeply mendacious egalitarian paradigm which rigorously excludes racial facts contradicting the overclass, antiwhite metanarrative. Because racial truths (arguments, or often even straight facts) with any significant social or policy implications (those which might, if enacted, serve to reduce nonwhite supremacist power and re-empower whites) cannot get published in professional academic venues, all such academic “scholarship” on race must be presumed to be ‘tainted’ with deliberate factual inaccuracies (and that is virtually always the case).
What makes the more academic essays at places like CC, The Occidental Observer, and American Renaissance special is less the quality of analysis and erudition on display, than the simple fact they they speak the truth, while the modal professoriat and mainstream punditocracy do not. This makes a site like CC necessary and invaluable.
I don’t think we are going to make $150,000.00 this year, even though I was the one to suggest it. The reason being is what has been done to the economy, my donation will still go out though.
Thanks for your support.
We have more readers than ever, so I am confident that will mean more donors.
Let’s hope so!
I commented after closing of last year’s fund raiser that next year’s aim should be 150000. I believe that it will be exceeded. If I remember correctly, last year’s total amounted to 112000 with a stated goal of 100000 $. If this was possible, the goal of 150000 is also within reach. Every year the readers of CC made it possible to reach the fund raising goals: As a sign of solidarity, as a contribution to this project of revival of our people and as an act of defiance of the money-bloated organizations which find an open door at any university, office, city hall, TV station, wherever they wish to spread their destructive words.
