Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,

1. Our Webzine and Traffic

The big news in March was the launch of the new and improved Counter-Currents website on the 10th. For more details, click here. We also launched our annual fundraiser on the same day. For the latest update, click here. We also announced that Counter-Currents will adopt a paywall on April 12 as a way of encouraging new donors and thanking those who already support us. Click here for information on how to join.

In March, our unique visitors declined from more than 418,000 to just over 300,000. (To put this in perspective, 300,000 is still nearly double the number of unique visitors we had in March of 2020.) Since we didn’t do anything fundamentally different in March compared to February, my inclination is to attribute the change to search engine chicanery and monitor the situation. We’ve seen this before, and our traffic always surges back.

In March, we added 95 pieces to our webzine, including six podcasts. Our Top 20 articles and full stats are below.

5. How You Can Help Counter-Currents

Counter-Currents, like most promoters of dissident ideas, depends upon the generosity of our donors. In 2020, fewer than 1,000 donors made it possible for nearly four million unique visitors to find their way to Counter-Currents. If you want to join the people who make Counter-Currents possible — or renew your support — there are several ways you can help out.

Credit Cards

In 2020, Counter-Currents was de-platformed from five credit card processors. In March of 2020, antifa actually put our last processor out of business. We applied to a couple of other processors but were turned down. In the process of applying, we discovered that Counter-Currents has been put on the so-called MATCH list, a credit card industry blacklist reserved for vendors with high rates of chargebacks and fraudulent transactions. This is completely inapplicable to Counter-Currents. Thus our placement on this list is simply a lie — a financially damaging lie — that is obviously political in motivation.

Entropy

Currently, the only way you can donate via credit card is through Entropy. Just go to our Entropy page and select “send paid chat.” Entropy allows you to donate any amount from $3 and up. If you include a comment or question, it will be read and discussed in the next episode of Counter-Currents Radio, which airs every Friday.

Money Transfers

If your bank does free money transfers to other banks in the US, please contact me at [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 to go to our crypto donation page.
• 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
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA

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.
