This year, Counter-Currents is working to raise $300,000. Thus far, we are at $222,588.87, which is 74% of the way there. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far. We now have two weeks to raise $77,411.13. Let’s hope there’s a Christmas miracle! Full details on how to help appear below. But before that, a few words on what’s happening at Twitter.

I cheered when Elon Musk bought Twitter, promising to turn it into a free speech platform. I admit that I’ve never been crazy about Twitter. But it is one of the principal platforms hosting the liberal hive mind and its ever-shifting consensus, so anything that ventilates that echo-chamber is a good thing.

I have had two Twitter accounts. The first, NewRightAmerica, was for Counter-Currents. The second, GregJohnsonPhD, was my personal account. I never invested much in either account. Neither account had many followers. The Counter-Currents account was banned a few years ago. (I found out about the ban on Gab.) My personal account was banned a week ago for “hate.” This is the Tweet that got it taken down:

This is an excerpt from my essay “In Your Heart, You Know Ye’s Right. [2]” It is protected political speech under the American First Amendment, which should be the sole “term of service” at the new Twitter. However, Twitter still regulates “hate speech,” in violation of the First Amendment.

The organized Jewish community is the principal driving force against the US First Amendment. Pointing that out, of course, is also defined as “hate speech.” It is also “hate speech” to note that the Anti-Defamation League is the principal force protesting against Musk’s promise to allow free speech on Twitter.

There’s no question that Musk has improved Twitter immensely. His exposure of the collaboration between Twitter, the Democratic Party, Left NGOs, and the American deep state to fix the 2020 election is particularly explosive. It is also quite satisfying to see antifa doxing accounts banned, and I hope there will be full transparency about the collusion between the old Twitter and such domestic terrorist groups as antifa and Black Lives Matter.

My fear, however, is that when the dust settles at Twitter, the Right-wing voices on the platform will be entirely “kosher,” which means that Jews will still be policing the outer boundaries of acceptable speech. This would be a disaster, because there’s no way to fix America without a free and open conversation about the Jewish question. Until Twitter is no longer ADL-occupied territory, Counter-Currents and other corners of the Internet will have to keep the First Amendment alive.

But don’t give up on Elon Musk. He’s obviously making it up as he goes along. He’s obviously more of a people-pleaser than a man of principle. But if he wants to save free speech, he eventually has to give the ADL a hard “no.”

Musk may well have been naïve about who he is up against when he first got involved in Twitter. He may not have understood who he was fighting when he declared war on “the woke mind virus.”

Of course, Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL immediately knew where this was leading. But Elon Musk is a rocket scientist. Eventually, who he is up against is going to sink in.

There are many ways you can help Counter-Currents keep free speech alive:

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.

GreenPay™ by Green Payment

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] [4].

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 [5]! 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 [6] 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] [7].

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 [8] or PDF [9] 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. [12] Then you can send your cryptocurrency to our crypto addresses [10].

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] [13]. 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 [14]” contains many helpful suggestions.

Thank you for your loyal readership and generous support.
