There’s some very exciting news this week.
1. Our 2024 Fundraiser
This year, Counter-Currents is raising $300,000 to sustain and expand our work. Thus far we have received $75,506.68, so we are now more than one quarter of the way to our goal! Our deepest thanks to everyone who helped out.
Since Summer is a slow time for fundraising, a generous donor has put up a new $10,000 matching grant for the remainder of July. If you have not given yet, please do so today, since your money will go twice as far. Full donation information is at the bottom of this post.
2. Angelo Plume’s New Nationalism Podcast
Angelo Plume’s New Nationalism Podcast debuted today on Substack. This is the first of a series of ten podcasts narrating Angelo’s intellectual journey into what he calls the New Nationalism. Since he does not trust the mainstream media or academia, he goes directly to prominent nationalist thinkers, activists, and commentators. The first episode, “Is Diversity Our Strength?,” interviews Jared Taylor.
You can listen to the first episode on Substack here: https://newnationalism.substack.com/p/the-new-nationalism-podcast, and don’t forget to sign up for subscription (free or otherwise) so you hear about all future episodes as soon as they are released.
Angelo has interviewed quite a few prominent voices already. To keep episodes short and snappy, however, he only uses excerpts from these interviews. The full background interviews, however, will be made available to paid subscribers.
Please listen, share your thoughts, and spread the news about this exciting new project. This series will be a Nationalism 101 course that we can point new people to for years to come.

Excellent work starting the new podcast. Hopefully it will help reach younger audiences.
The situation with Lucas Gage and the swatting by the usual suspects against him and his family is nauseating, regardless of how people feel about the man. I don’t want to belabor the point in here but I mentioned it in Jeelvy’s telegram chat and was really surprised when he said “I’ve already been arrested, it’s not that bad.” Wow. If that is the attitude of a writer I used to respect at something as draconian as this which could’ve killed his family, and happen to any one of us, I’m at a loss for words. That really was a vile and stupid thing to say. Way for Whites to stand together.
What happened to Nick Jeelvy? I wondered why he stopped writing for Counter Currents.
It’s nice to have Angelo Plume on board
Jared Taylor gives a nationalist perspective with many scholarly facts about racial differences. He is very articulate in his presentation and always has been good on the race issue as far back as before his book Paved With Good Intentions, published in 1992. I was pleased to hear Jared state at about 34 minutes into this interview that racial separation is the only way to preserve a race. But what is his plan for Whites to preserve their race via separating from other races? He doe not say, and I suspect that if asked for his plan he does not have one.
It’s widely known among the experienced race-thinking community that Jared, for all the good he has to say about Whites as a separate race, still, after more than 40 years in the arena, does not address the all-important Jewish Question (JQ). He infamously answered a loaded question posed to him on the Phil Donahue TV show years ago, “What do you think of Jews?” Jared has had to live with his answer ever since: “They look White to me.” Mainstream Whites are satisfied with that answer, but to biological racial nationalists who understand that Jewry is the primary enemy of the White race, not so much.
Jared is destined to remain at the entry level for Whites looking for answers, perhaps like Angelo, who says he has been “noticing a lot of things lately,” so decided to chat with Jared to get the nationalist perspective about those things: multiculturalism and diversity.
Both interviewer and interviewee are well-spoken and present well but left a lot of questions unanswered. Good luck to Angelo and his new nationalism. Here’s a piece from five years ago about “nice guy” Jared naively agreeing to be interviewed by the enemy, expecting fairness. Comments at the end of the article and below it are worth reading: “Jared Taylor vs. CNN’s Forthcoming Hatchet Job on White Nationalism” on nationalvanguard.org
Everything you write is true.
Unfortunately, gerontocracy is now so woven into the West that even dissident metapoliticos have to struggle to get out from under the best of the worst generation.
Taylor is a one-note wonder. That it was, once upon a time, a clear and powerful note is irrelevant.
This thing we are about is struggle. Taylor seems not to understand this. Or, if he does, he seems not to understand what struggle entails. How much time has been wasted puzzling over his ignorance? The man does not know his enemy. Or fears his enemy so much that he pretends not to. This is ironic since he grew up among a people who have studied Sun Tzu for over a thousand years.
Whatever the reasons for Taylor’s failure, his is the loser’s way. There is no fool like an old fool and there is no honor in losing. He’s done his part, but he shoud have handed AmRen over to Kevin DeAnna (or folded it into Counter-Currents) years ago. Fossils belong in museums.
Jared’s approach is completely valid for the niche he has chosen in the movement ecosystem, and if he didn’t exist, he would have to be reinvented.
I agree with this introductory approach and don’t see anything wrong with it unless one starts taking Jewish money and then bringing ebthusiastic Jewish leaders on board. That sabotages a White Nationalist cause with certainty (and I assume that Mr. Taylor understands this).
Also, I strongly disagree with some that there is an over-arching conspiracy under every woodpile. That kind of simplicissimus is just as bad. Basically one can find a Jew by looking anywhere: the dog-catcher, the guy who delivers the letters to your mailbox, the pharmacist filling your prescription, etc. They are Jews and maybe have certain group interests, but are not necessarily kingins for the plot.
And this kind of truth-seeking probably does not make a convincing historical case ─ especially if one has eschewed higher education and actual intellectual training for edgy podcasts.
It has been awhile since I read the essay, but GLR wrote a piece about how to stay out of the insane asylum. About sixty or so years ago in the times of Camelot, establishment Civil Rights Liberals were trying to get their political opponents committed to the nuthouse as lunatics. Well, the best way to defeat that tactic is to not be too paranoid and to convince the Jewish psychiatrist doing the evaluation that there is zero way that he is going to be able to convince any reasonable person to regard you as an unreasonable and dangerous lunatic. So I don’t want my daughter marrying Rastus, yeah, what of it?
Also, lot of the professional anti-Semites are not really White Nationalists at all and are in fact playing for the wrong team. They are niche theologians with another agenda and don’t really give a crap about White people.
🙂
Invariably, one sees in virtually every comment section of a Jared Taylor video or article the following (or some paraphase of it): “NaMe ThE jEw, JaReD!!!”
I ask, because you were vague: Is that what you’re saying?
If not, never mind. But many do say that. And to those who do, I ask: Do you really believe that all roads lead to the omnipotent Jew? Really? All of them?
It’s extraordinary to think, for example, that if the omnipotent Jew were somehow dealt with, all the other innately fine peoples of the world would just settle down, pack up, and go home. And that all the deceived whites would snap to and start taking their own side.
Such is the intoxicating potency of the Jews’ propaganda…
All the Negroes would suddenly become reasonable, good neighbors who rape less and work more. Middle Eastern Muslims would decide that conquest of Europe is just too brusk and unfair to the natives. Hispanics down south of the border would get content and stay put. Indians would repopulate the already populous subcontinent. And deracinated Whitey would finally recognize he has a culture and it’s worth preserving.
WNs are fond of silver bullets; a favorite seems to be dealing with Jewish subterfuge. (And to be clear, the Jewish role in orchestrating and undermining healthy white societies is, to say the least, overrepresented.) But I literally do not know what to say to someone — how to reason with him — who believes that dealing with one of many enemies magically makes disappear the anti-white goals of all the others.
Jared Taylor has been “in the struggle” for decades (and decades longer than many of us have even existed). He has been unambiguously taking the side of whites since well before hiding behind screens and pseudonyms was even an option. His struggle was, in other words, real. Not virtual. Not theoretical.
His tactical approach may mean deempasizing the Jews, but that doesn’t mean his contribution cannot compliment the work of other WNs who shine a spotlight on them, if the shared end of both is healthy white autonomous societies under white hegemony.
And, as an older (wiser?) man than many of us, it’s worth pausing to consider for a moment that he might have a valid tactical reason for the methods he employs.
James Kirkpatrick: July 8, 2024 … “NaMe ThE jEw, JaReD!!!”
I ask, because you were vague: Is that what you’re saying?
—
Pretty much, James, though not like that. Jared is vague when it comes to the JQ. I’m not.
I agree with him that the only way to preserve our race is to separate, but I get more specific: the best elements of our race will separate from the rest of humanity, which is at this time a very small sub-group. That is a start. Jared can’t get to the starting line until he’s willing to name the enemy.
—
If not, never mind. But many do say that. And to those who do, I ask: Do you really believe that all roads lead to the omnipotent Jew? Really? All of them?
—
No, but enough that that road cannot be ignored. Shut down that Jew superhighway and other roads, other negative issues impacting the preservation of our gene pool will be dealt with by serious White preservationist leaders. Do you not believe that is achievable?
—
And, as an older (wiser?) man than many of us, it’s worth pausing to consider for a moment that he might have a valid tactical reason for the methods he employs.
—
Maybe he does. But that they look White to him is hardly valid.
I agree with Greg that Jared fills an important niche in the greater pro-White cause ; he’s stuck with it as others are stuck with their positions because their base of support agree with them. He will not be changing his position anytime soon. I call the niche he has staked out entry level. Everyone has to start at some level.
Many who have joined the National Alliance began with the Council of Conservative Citizens, or the John Birch Society, or the KKK, Stormfront, reading The Spotlight, or even by reading the multi-millionaire Jew, Ronald Keeva Unz’s site. There has been plenty of good information found at all of those sources. But when compared they lack the necessary reality-grounded spiritual foundation that Dr. Pierce has given us. I don’t expect too many others to agree with me, even here at C-C, but some will, thanks.
“reality-grounded spiritual”
OXYMORON ALERT!
Hey Will, just to be clear, my comment was a reply to Vegetius’ comment.
He’s done tremendous work to raise consciousness in our people. Rather than armchair quarterbacking him, I challenge you to go out there and do as much as he’s done. If your way is better, the results will speak for themselves.
Jim Goad: July 8, 2024 “reality-grounded spiritual
”OXYMORON ALERT!
—
There’s no reason to yell, Jim. When I describe Cosmotheism as having a reality-grounded spiritual foundation (the word you cut), I’m comparing it to the greater pro-White “movement” which is essentially conservative Christian, with a spiritual foundation based largely in the Jewish Bible and worshipping the Jews’ mythical deity Yahweh up in the clouds somewhere. If you want to make a case that belief in Bible stories and worshipping Yahweh or Jehovah gives followers an Aryan spiritual belief system, or foundation, grounded in reality, we’ll just have to disagree, thanks.
I was a home builder in my previous life and have found that building a movement is not unlike building a physical sticks & bricks & mortar structure — with both you must begin with a solid foundation. William Pierce gave us that necessary foundation, the Nature-based, reality-grounded Cosmotheist foundation.
Slightly off the more important topic under discussion, but is Goad using “oxymoron” correctly? My knowledge of literary terms is hardly expert, but I think Goad views the phrase “reality-grounded spiritual” as a meaningless contradiction (like, eg, “liquid stone”) because Goad’s [conception of] “reality” simply excludes any “spiritual” [non-physical] dimension. But an oxymoron involves not simple contradiction but a juxtaposition of seemingly incongruous terms that results in a deeper truth (eg, “deafening silence”).
I wouldn’t sweat it too much. He’s saying that spirituality doesn’t have anything to do with reality. It’s like the old joke that military intelligence is an oxymoron.
James Kirkpatrick: July 8, 2024 Hey Will, just to be clear, my comment was a reply to Vegetius’ comment.
Sorry, James, it’s not always clear to me, but Vegetius was responding to my comment, telling me everything I wrote was true. I was able to “Like” him for that. Since then I’ve been unable to “Like” others, Edit my comments, or to even to Log-in. So I’m writing this in my email Drafts and will keep trying to Log-in with it later… [Edit: I was able to Log-in after requesting a new password]
