New Improvements at Counter-Currents

I have always been a slow adopter of anything newfangled. I think that is smart. The whiz kids behind the latest app or miracle vaccine don’t know it all. They can’t foresee everything, so they can’t plan for everything. Truth only emerges with time, by trial and error. So if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This is why it took me more than ten years to change the Counter-Currents site. Thus I was much amused when a friend recently suggested that we need a new site design. I wanted to say, “Slow down there, kiddo . . .” It is the Burkean conservative in me.

However, when something really is broken, I can’t fix it fast enough. And as a Burkean conservative, I am all for piecemeal tinkering and improvements. This process has been a lot easier in recent months because of new people in the Counter-Currents back office who not only have great ideas, they can also get them done. Thus Counter-Currents has made a lot of improvements. For instance:

I am pleased to announce several more improvements:

I want to thank our Webmaster above all for these improvements, but other members of the Counter-Currents team contributed as well. Now that I have more help, website improvements don’t rust away on long to-do lists as more urgent projects occupy my time. For all this, ultimately, thanks goes to you, dear reader. Your book orders and donations make Counter-Currents possible.

If you have suggestions for other fixes and features, share them in the comments below. And if you want to underwrite such changes, information on how to donate appears below.

Thanks for your loyal readership and support.

There are many ways you can help Counter-Currents:

1. E-Checks

The easiest way to send money to Counter-Currents is by e-check. It is as secure, fast, and convenient as a credit card. All you need is your checkbook.

Donation Amount

E-checks don’t work outside the US, but we now have a new way to send recurring or one-time donations from outside the US for very low cost. For details, email [email protected] [10].

2. Credit Cards

In 2019, Counter-Currents was de-platformed from five credit card processors. 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.

Currently, there are only two ways we can take credit card donations:

  1. CashApp as $CounterCurrents [11]! CashApp allows you to make an instant credit card donation without a high processing fee. Plus, it gives us an encouraging mobile alert when you donate! Boost the Counter-Currents staff morale instantly! Donate via CashApp!
  2. Entropy, a site that takes donations and comments for livestreams. Visit our Entropy page [12] and select “send paid chat.” Entropy allows you to donate any amount from $3 and up. All comments will be read and discussed in the next episode of Counter-Currents Radio, which airs every weekend.

3. Bank Transfers

It is also possible to support Counter-Currents with bank transfers. Please contact us at [email protected] [13].

4. 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 send gift cards as donations electronically, by-email, through the snail mail. If you can find a place that sells gift cards for cash, they are as anonymous as sending cash and much safer.

5. Cash, 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 [14] or PDF [15] 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.

6. 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.

7. Crypto-Currencies

In addition to old-fashioned paper donations, those new-fangled crypto-currencies are a good way to circumvent censorious credit card corporations.

For those brand new to cryptocurrency, you can even use your credit card to buy cryptocurrency via Moon Pay here. [18] Then you can send your cryptocurrency to our crypto addresses [16].

8. 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] [19]. You can send donations by mail to:

The Counter-Currents Foundation
P.O. Box 22638
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA

9. 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 [20]” contains many helpful suggestions.
