At the end of our Counter-Currents Retreats, we had a tradition of going around the room and sharing a toast and an oath. The toast was to praise something positive. The oath was to promise to one’s peers to accomplish one thing for the movement before our next gathering.

Jonathan Bowden was the keynote speaker at the Counter-Currents Retreat in Santa Cruz, California, on Saturday, February 25 and Sunday, February 26, 2012. This excerpt is his toast and oath from the closing session on Sunday, February 26. (more…)

If you ever try to convince a political “normie” that White Nationalism is the best political option, you are going to face some questions and objections: Who is white? Isn’t White Nationalism “racist,” i.e., evil? Do you envision one white state or many? How will you separate from non-whites? Etc. (more…)

Recently I was asked to make some subtle aesthetic adjustments to the Counter-Currents website. If I’ve done the job well, no one will even notice the changes. The task required me to go through the archives all the way back to the summer of 2010, the year Greg Johnson broke digital ground and Counter-Currents went online. (more…)

Things continued briskly for the Counter-Currents fundraiser over the last week, and we got 1% closer to our goal of raising $300,000 this year.

Full information on how to donate is below, but first, here are a few words from Mark Gullick on what led him to Counter-Currents, and what makes us special. (more…)

The last website I was paid to write for was funded by a sole wealthy benefactor. The site bore his name. I never had even the hint of a problem with him nor a single misgiving about him. I only met him once, and he was so amiably well-oiled that night that he gave me a raise. After that single brief meeting at a bar in Upper Manhattan, I never communicated with him again. (more…)

“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.

Among my favorite “radical centrists” is the British commentator Carl Benjamin, better known as Sargon of Akkad. He’s enjoyable to listen to, not merely for the easy sound of his voice and his superior accent, but for his uncompromising honesty, even when he is wrong.

Back in March of last year, he published a video about the Alt-Right, and his summary was that it was fundamentally an idea space, protected from the policing of progressive gate-keepers.

Aby zrealizować swoje cele polityczne, Północnoamerykańska Nowa Prawica musi zrozumieć właściwe relacje pomiędzy teorią a zmianą społeczną, metapolitkyą a polityką, teorią a praktyką. Musimy uniknąć dryfowania w kierunku bezczynnego intelektualizmu albo bezmyślnego – a zatem najprawdopodobniej przynoszącego skutki odwrotne od zamierzonych – aktywizmu.

I spend each New Year’s Day reviewing my resolutions for the previous year and drafting resolutions for the New Year.

Of the public resolutions I made last year, I kept seven. But I broke three: First, I could not bring myself to write a movie review every week. I wrote 12 during 2011, two as Greg Johnson, ten as Trevor Lynch. Second, I did not write The White Nationalist Manifesto, although I worked on it. (more…)
