Like all journals of dissident ideas, Counter-Currents depends on the support of our readers. So far this year, we’ve raised $92,974, or 31% of our $300,000 goal. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far. (Please donate here!) And now, Pox Populi offers a few words on why we can’t expect idealism alone to sustain the alternative dissident Right media ecosystem that has been painstakingly built in recent years forever — and why we can’t afford to lose it.

Editor’s Note: The Homeland Institute (website, Telegram) is proud to announce the results of its second poll, which was conducted in late August through early September of 2023 on the topic of the Great Replacement. We found that 59.4% of Republicans said they had not even heard of the Great Replacement theory until they were polled, but 62.4% nonetheless at least slightly agreed with the Great Replacement theory once it was succinctly explained to them.

In a 2015 article, John Derbyshire drew a distinction between “Goodwhites” and “Badwhites.” The “Goodwhites” were the well-meaning anti-racist white liberals, whereas the “Badwhites” were those who dared to differ with modern egalitarian orthodoxies. (more…)

Now that we are wallowing in a major war in Ukraine and are caught in the throes of a cultural and political revolution in the United States, I recall an interesting arthouse film I discovered some years ago when I lived in Boston at one of the queens of arthouse theaters: Memorias del Subdesarrollo, or Memories of Underdevelopment, (more…)

The 2020 film Irresistible, written and directed by the well-known former Daily Show host Jon Stewart, is a much-underrated political comedy in which a small-town mayoral campaign becomes a partisan battleground. At first I thought it might cover the same ground as The Candidate. (As I remember from when I watched it around 1979, a young greenhorn campaigns for a Senate seat, has to tone down his far-Left politics for optics purposes, and is furious because he wins after compromising himself.) Instead, it went in some surprising directions. (more…)

The portents are everywhere these days. If one were to take a casual look, even for a brief moment, at the headlines about fires, floods, hurricanes, war, plagues, pestilence, and various other scourges that are raging across the Earth, it is easy to see why adherents of an apocalyptic worldview would have more than enough confirmation that the end is indeed nigh.

Originality of thought and a command of words give him a maturity of style beyond his years. In speech or essay he is never dull and his work should always be interesting. — Peter Cook’s school report, aged 14
I know I’ve been destructive. What I do reflects the idiocy and chaos within myself. — Peter Cook
In the self-congratulatory world of show business, the word “genius” is used casually and often, and “comic genius” more than most, but in its original sense it is occasionally appropriate. (more…)

If ever there was a call which went unheeded, it is former presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan’s admonition that once the Cold War ended, the United States should have reduced its military footprint to a size capable of dealing with its own national interests. (more…)

Peter Duesberg, a molecular biologist who presented compelling evidence that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS in the 1980s — but whose work has been suppressed by Anthony Fauci and the medical-industrial complex.

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)
Anthony Fauci was appointed director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 1984, just in time for the AIDS epidemic. That same year, Robert Gallo, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute, announced that he had discovered the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, a disease primarily afflicting gay men and IV drug users. The cause, Gallo announced, was a retrovirus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). (more…)

People under the age of 55, to the extent that they know who Linda Blair is at all, know her for one thing: her iconic Oscar-nominated dual performance as the 12-year-old child Regan MacNeil and Supreme Master of Evil, Satan, in the legendary 1973 horror film The Exorcist.
People over the age of 55 know Linda Blair for two things: for playing Satan in The Exorcist and for the slew of scandalous made-for-TV movies she was in during the mid-1970s. The most explosive of these was Born Innocent, owing largely to a scene depicting a brutal lesbian rape which many found more horrifying than anything in The Exorcist. (more…)

Nothing KKKompares to the KKK

Before I talk about prepping for the collapse, I would like to announce a new incentive for helping Counter-Currents. Between now and September 30th, anyone who gives at least $120/year or $10/month will receive a free paperback of my book Toward a New Nationalism. Toward a New Nationalism was published in 2019 as a companion to The White Nationalist Manifesto. Later this year, it will be published in a French edition. My French translator suggested, however, that I drop a number of essays that would not make much sense to French readers. I looked at the list and thought he was right. (more…)
