“Speech that doesn’t commit one to anything, doesn’t stand on its own, doesn’t risk its position, doesn’t cost anything, is not worth very much.” – The Invisible Committee[1]

One of my former colleagues just had the honor of presenting the annual President’s Address to the American Anthropological Association. Her speech, a paean to the power of the “good” anthropologist who battles against the “looming darkness” caused by recent “political disasters,” was hailed as a courageous speaking of truth to power in the darkest days of late-modern life.

“We must always possess the character of the true revolutionary. It is not the character that you observe in the little men of the old parties, blown hither and thither by every gust of convenience opinion, elated by a little success, downcast by a little failure, gossiping and chattering about the prospects of the next five minutes, jostling for place, but not so forward in service. Without loyalty, endurance, or staying power, such a character is the hallmark of financial democratic politics. (more…)

Ezra Pound: “Make it new!”

The great monologist Jean Shepherd used to remark, “In four thousand years, no one will know that you ever existed.” This statement is shocking for modern man, who — while not believing in an immortal soul — is convinced that technological advances will soon grant immortality to his physical being. Mortality might come as a shock to deracinated modern man — who is never more than a few feet away from a hand sanitizer or a “safe zone” to protect him from the challenges of bacteria or differing opinions — yet this was not always the case.

Deadline: the end of Giving Tuesday

Since our last fundraiser update, Counter-Currents has received a $2,000 matching grant offer from Fenek Solère, the author of Rising, who gave as his reason, “Counter-Currents is one of Our People’s key strategic assets in the ongoing Culture War.” In addition, we received 26 donations, including seven all-important pledges of monthly support. That puts Counter-Currents more than 80% of the way to recovering the monthly pledge income lost when PayPal used the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville as an excuse to cancel our account.

For almost three months now, Counter-Currents has been fighting our way back from the loss of our PayPal account and the monthly donations that were keeping us afloat. PayPal canceled our account in the purge that followed the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. We are about 80% of the way back to where we were three months ago, and we need your help to recover. There are several ways to help.  (more…)

I suspect that the path which led me to work with Counter-Currents is somewhat different from that of many of the other people who contribute to it. I did not naturally gravitate toward the Right at an early age, as did many of those I know who are active in it. I grew up in suburban New York, and although there were certainly experiences I had there that were to shape my later worldview, I was not conscious of them as such at the time. (more…)

This week, our fundraising appeal is from Kerry Bolton, who is authoring what will surely be the definitive biography of  Francis Parker Yockey. Recently, I paid a substantial amount for Yockey-related materials that belonged to the late Willis Carto. Thus I am making a special appeal to cover the cost of that purchase. I will make all these items available to Dr. Bolton and other researchers.
