Norwegian readers are reporting that Counter-Currents is being blocked by the country’s internet service providers. We are investigating the reasons, but in the meantime, we’ll take it as a compliment.
Norway, with a population of around 4.5 million Norwegians and more than half-a-million non-Norwegians, consistently ranks in the top 20 countries where Counter-Currents is read.
One reason the Norwegian state might be feeling cornered is our extensive coverage of and commentary on the Anders Behring Breivik [2] case, in particular Andrew Hamilton’s translation of Breivik’s opening [3] and closing [4] statements at his trial, which scooped the entire Anglophone media sphere and, because English is the global lingua franca, made Breivik’s defense available without censorship to the whole world.
Although I have condemned Breivik’s actions on principle from the start (here [5] and here [6]), the mere existence of a website that allows objective reporting and white-centered commentary of Breivik seems to be subversive enough to merit censorship.
The Counter-Currents team is working on ways to circumvent the censorship. In the meantime, we urge all Norwegian readers to use a proxy service like Hide My Ass: http://hidemyass.com/ [7]
We will keep our loyal readers and generous donors posted of all developments. Over and out.
