Colin Henry Wilson (June 26, 1931–December 5, 2013) was an extraordinarily prolific English author of well over 100 books, both fiction and non-fiction, including volumes on philosophy, literature, psychology, religion, crime, sex, music, mysticism, and the paranormal, as well as a number of biographies and memoirs. From a working-class home and largely self-educated, Wilson left school at age 16. He worked odd jobs, drifted from city to city, and was sometimes homeless, all in pursuit of a dream. (more…)

Leadership and pandering have the same object: the people, or more specifically the politically empowered people, the electorate. Leadership and pandering also have the same goal: to harvest political power from the people, primarily through elections.

How do leadership and pandering differ? (more…)

Enoch Powell is most famous for his “Rivers of Blood” speech on April 20, 1968, in which he warned, prophetically, of the dangers of massive non-white immigration into the United Kingdom.

Dear Vice President Vance,

Since this is an open letter, please indulge me as I spell out some things that you surely know but which some readers may not.

Donald Trump has done the impossible. He has created a global humanitarian and political crisis, yet he has managed to get most of the world to tune it out simply by lying about it continually. Trump has now announced that a “deal” with Iran is imminent 39 times. This is what Steve Bannon called “flooding the zone with bullshit.” (more…)

It was 16 years ago, on June 11, 2010, that Counter-Currents went online. Counter-Currents was founded on the conviction that, as Jonathan Bowden put it, “One man alone in a room with a computer . . . can change the world. A few people alone in a room, if they cleave to an idea whose time has come, can still change the world.”

In Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, palantirs are basically crystal balls, allowing people to see things at a distance. They are also like video phones. Two people with palantirs can communicate at a distance.

In Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf chides Saruman for using a palantir to collect information on Sauron, because the other seeing stones are not accounted for. So when you look into a palantir, someone might be looking back at you, someone evil. (more…)
