Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,
August of 2017 was our best month ever in terms of unique visitors: 197,961, and that in spite of outages caused by our forced move to another web-hosting platform. This comes after a four month slump in traffic that was almost certainly due to search-engine censorship, probably from Google. But the moral panic and wave of persecutions following the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville drove droves of new readers to Counter-Currents. I want to thank our writers, donors, readers, and enemies for making this possible — and to welcome an influx of new readers to the best site on the Alt Right.
Last spring I got really busy and let these newsletters slide. To my embarrassment, five months have now gone by without a newsletter. Thus this newsletter will focus only on essential matters. Next month, we will return to our full newsletter format.

How You Can Help Counter-Currents
In August, Counter-Currents was thrown off PayPal, Facebook, and our web-hosting company. The worst blow was from PayPal, since this put us in a cash crunch. If you would like to help Counter-Currents fight back from these attacks, please consider making a donation. There are several ways to do so.
First, you can use a credit card.
Note: Credit card numbers are not stored on our server, and all connections are secure and encrypted.
Second, you can use Hatreon.
“Hatreon” is like Patreon but for the “haters” who are being purged from Patreon as part of the vast ongoing deplatforming of white advocates and dissident Rightists. Hatreon helps creative dissidents enjoy steady, predictable incomes from patrons who make monthly pledges of support. Just go to my Hatreon profile page and make a pledge. (Use the invite code BNIHVDDYXEHW.)
Hatreon is run by a dissident Rightist like us. Hatreon is highly ethical and takes only a very small percentage of donations to cover their costs. I very much want Hatreon to succeed, so please sign up for an account today. Help Hatreon get off to a strong start — and help Counter-Currents stay in the fight.
Third, Counter-Currents also takes Bitcoin.
Our Bitcoin address is: 1ChE5DZVVZJpv8mnJ3fRrtSDrTikBh7uFL
In the coming weeks, we will begin accepting donations in all digital currencies, and we will publish a tutorial on how you can begin using them.
Finally, you can also mail donations to:
Counter-Currents
PO Box 22638
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA
We are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of generosity from a large number of readers. But we need to hear from all of you
