We are now nearly a year into Senile Joe’s presidency, and something highly alarming has already happened: America has lost its power to deter. “Deterrence,” writes Victor Davis Hanson, “is the ancient ability to scare somebody off from hurting you, your friends, or your interests — without a major war.”
The Russians — not “the Russians” who hack elections, but the real live sons of Czar Alexander’s valiant army — are carrying out considerable military activity in Eastern Europe. (more…)

This year, Counter-Currents is trying to raise $200,000 to sustain and improve our work. Since our last update, we have had 28 donations totaling $1,516. This means we have received a total of 1039 donations and a grand total of $141,601.24 since we started our fundraiser on March 10th. Thus we are more than 70% of the way to our goal, with under two months of the year left.
We’re getting a little worried, so to help the fundraiser along, a generous donor has offered to match the next $5,000 we receive. Full details about how to give are below, after this timely message from Morris V. de Camp. (more…)

Carleton S. Coon

Carleton Stevens Coon (1904-1981) knew how to use his fists. As a boy, he knocked out the eye of another kid, who had been one of the first Irish Catholics to live in his town. He later laid an Albanian out flat while he was carrying out anthropological research in the Balkans. During the Second World War, he rushed to the aid of a French officer who was being attacked by a Corsican. (more…)

The most important supporter of the 2020 BLM/Antifa terror campaign was the Department of Defense (DoD), led by its treacherous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley. He supported this terror by being absent. (more…)
Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth Wright spent much of his tenure picking at the scabs of “racism.” His statements didn’t end racial conflicts in the military, but exacerbated them. His appointment to high office guarantees that no battalion in the US military can be trusted to suppress an African race riot.

By 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had become unstable. The full story of how it got that way is beyond the scope of this article, but to put it simply, after 1867 the Hungarians gained control of parts of the Empire where there were not many Hungarians. This situation was greatly resented by the locals in the areas they controlled.
Today, the United States is likewise unstable. The lion’s share of what caused this instability is the minority sub-Saharan African population, which has an outsized role in influencing institutions and society. One can call this paradigm the “civil rights” regime. (more…)

Among the many problems in the Inept American War Machine is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. It was recently revealed in a book by Bob Woodward, Peril, that Milley had contacted senior military officials in China during the final months of the Trump administration to assure them that he would warn them should then-President Donald Trump order a sudden attack. Furthermore, Milley had more than one conversation with the Chinese on this matter. This all took place at a time of increasing tensions between the United States and China. (more…)

Before you read this article, you need to drop everything and contact your elected official encouraging him or her to not allow any Afghan refugees into your country. While Afghans are white Indo-Europeans, their culture has some drawbacks. Those “translators” we are supposedly obligated to help were often involved in insider attacks, theft, and bacha bazi.

The best thing to happen to the Kennedy political dynasty and its legacy took place over the course of 11.2 seconds at 12:30 PM on November 23, 1963. That is when an Antifa activist, acting totally on his own, fired three bullets from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository into the motorcade of the 35th President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Two of the bullets hit Kennedy, and he was declared dead at Parkland Hospital at 1 PM. (more…)

There is no blow quite like getting laid off. One day you’re at work and you feel important; the next day you suffer the indignity of walking out of the building with your stuff in a box.
Losing a job is enough to make a grown man cry. It is not entirely unknown for recently-unemployed people to die by suicide. Many jobless people become depressed, and may turn to alcohol and drugs to get by. Joblessness also puts a strain on relationships, and naturally it doesn’t help one’s finances. (more…)

قال ستيفن وايز، وهو صهيوني بارز و”يهودي أمريكي”، في خطاب ألقاه عام 1931: “أود أن أقول لإنجلترا (التي كانت تحكم فلسطين في ذلك الوقت في ظل انتداب عصبة الأمم) أن فلسطين العربية تشكل تهديداً على بريطانيا وخطر على العالم، وفلسطين اليهودية ذخر لبريطانيا العظمى ونعمة للعالم!” نحن نعلم الآن أن وايز كان مخطئاً. حيث اتضح أن فلسطين اليهودية هي مسئولية على بريطانيا العظمى.

It’s no big secret that eating in a healthy way is an important part of life. Recently, I attended a family reunion where the subject of healthy vs. unhealthy eating became an unavoidable topic of discussion. One middle-aged couple there had lost weight – they got many compliments on their looks. This wasn’t the case everywhere at the reunion though. One woman was obese, a condition that added complications when she got COVID-19. That woman’s sister (also obese) had a husband who divorced her and married a different woman. Being heavy has negative consequences indeed. Two of the moms I talked to had children who were binge eaters. (more…)
