As Counter-Currents’ Royal Correspondent, I feel it is time I weighed in on l’affaire de Andrew, formerly known as Prince. I knew that Andrew was bad years before any of this Epstein stuff came to light. Of all the senior royals, he was the one the staff seemed to hate most. “F— off,” he is supposed to have told one servant who was assigned to wake him up in the morning. Then there’s the small matter of his stuffed animals, estimated at between 40 and 70, depending on who you talk to. These must be arranged on his bed in a specific order, or Andrew reportedly has a royal fit. (more…)

From November 14th to 16th, about 230 stalwart white advocates gathered at Tennessee’s beautiful Montgomery Bell State Park for the 22nd annual American Renaissance conference. Last year the mood was positively giddy. After all, just days before we met, Donald Trump had won the presidential election. (more…)

The Expulsion of the Jews from Spain – Emilio Sala Francés, 1889

One of the most important lessons I learned from reading Bertrand de Jouvenel’s On Power is that revolutions happen against weak regimes, not against strong ones. This is not the romanticized version of history that we frequently get from the media or the schools. George III, Louis XVI, and Nicholas II have all been portrayed as terrible tyrants over which a ragtag team of plucky revolutionaries managed, against all odds, to be victorious. (more…)

Women love dogs too, but this essay will focus on the unique bond between men and dogs. Men will lavish affection on their dogs that they will not display toward their own children. Talking baby talk to dogs is easy for men, but talking baby talk to babies is often a bridge too far. Men will mourn the death of a dog as they would the loss of their best friend. Indeed, dogs are, as we have all been told, man’s best friend. (more…)

One of the most bizarre moments of Kamala Harris’s shockingly inept campaign was when, speaking at a church in Philadelphia, she began screaming in the voice of a black preacher, “Joy cometh in the morning!! The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the morning!!” Then, inexplicably, she cried “Church morning is coming!!” This was one of several moments late in the campaign where it seemed that the pressure was really getting to Kamala, and that she was about to crack.

Will Blunderfield.

Admit it: our pumpkin spice-hurricane-election-World War III season is getting you down. You could use a good laugh. So, allow me to introduce you to Will Blunderfield, if you haven’t met him already.

Blunderfield is a 39-year-old gay Canadian (pardon me if that is redundant), a yoga teacher and certified expert in “sexual kung fu.” He will teach you that your testicles are batteries, which you can charge with energy. “What do your balls feel like right now? Breathe into that,” he advises. (more…)

I was with a friend and his wife Saturday evening when we learned of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania. My friend’s mother — a spry, gun-toting, red-pilled granny whose favorite politician is Marjorie Taylor Greene — texted with the news. We immediately went online to see what was happening. (more…)

Nathan Fielder is a Jewish comedian and actor born in Vancouver in 1983. After a false start in the business world, he got his big break in 2007 on CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, as a socially awkward consumer affairs correspondent hosting a recurring segment called “Nathan on Your Side.” Fielder later developed this premise into his Comedy Central “reality” series Nathan for You, which premiered in 2013 and ran for four seasons.

I’ve heard him described as a blend of Woody Allen and Larry David, and indeed, he is ultra-Jewy. Fielder is a real Jewy Jewstein, as Howard Stern would say. (more…)

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)

There are many reasons to think that we are living in the world of Atlas Shrugged. Doesn’t it seem today as if literally everything is broken or in freefall? Manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure, public safety, the justice system, housing, education, the food supply, journalism, the arts, and more — these are broken in our world of today, and broken in the world of Atlas Shrugged. But how they got broken is, in many ways, quite different from what Rand depicts. (more…)

Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)

They say that libertarianism and Ayn Rand’s Objectivism are gateway drugs to the radical Right. I am living proof of this. Many years ago, whenever we saw signs of breakdown or inefficiency in our society, my Objectivist friends and I would all cluck “We’re living in the world of Atlas Shrugged!” Oddly, we felt a certain satisfaction in that. But it was quite silly, because today the world of 30 or 35 years ago seems almost like a lost Eden. (more…)

“What’s all the fuss about Dr. Mengele when Nathaniel Branden is alive and well and living in LA?” – A former member of Ayn Rand’s inner circle

In the 1960s, Ayn Rand was putting people on trial in her Manhattan apartment. Their crime? Social metaphysics. Members of “the Collective” — the in-joke term for Rand’s inner circle — would gather in her living room to hear the case against the accused. Nathaniel Branden, Rand’s business partner and erstwhile lover, acted as prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and sometimes executioner, all with the blessing of Miss Rand. (more…)

It’s been 80 years since Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead was published by Bobbs-Merrill, and almost exactly 37 years since I first read it. I was in college at the time and, although I did not realize it, searching for some source of meaning in my life. The previous year I had gone through a Satanist phase, occasioned by reading Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible and failing to see the humor in it. That had been followed by a very, very brief Marxist phase. (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.

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…)
