Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,
Black History Month was a very good month for Counter-Currents: 154,000+ unique visitors, down a bit from from January, but February is the shortest month of the year.

5. How You Can Help Counter-Currents
Counter-Currents, like most promoters of dissident ideas, depends upon the generosity of our donors. In 2019, just under 500 donors made it possible for nearly two million unique visitors to find their way to Counter-Currents. If you want to join the people who make Counter-Currents possible — or renew your support — there are several ways you can help out.
Credit Cards
In 2019, Counter-Currents was de-platformed from five credit card processors. We applied to a couple of other processors but were turned down. In the process of applying, we discovered that Counter-Currents has been put on the so-called MATCH list, a credit card industry blacklist reserved for vendors with high rates of chargebacks and fraudulent transactions. This is completely inapplicable to Counter-Currents. Thus our placement on this list is simply a lie — a financially damaging lie — that is obviously political in motivation.
Fortunately, we have now found a new processor that will take single and recurring donations. Please click here.
Please note: to increase security and keep processing costs down, the minimum payment we can take by credit card is $10.
Bank Transfers
It is also possible to support Counter-Currents with bank transfers, which can be single or recurring. Please click here and choose the Bank Transfer option.
Please note: to increase security and keep processing costs down, the minimum payment we can take is $10.
If your bank does free money transfers to other banks in the US, please contact me at [email protected].
Gift Cards
Gift cards are a useful way to make donations. Gift cards are available with all the major credit cards as well as from major retailers. You can either send gift cards as donations (either electronically or through the mail) or you can use them to make donations. Simply buy a prepaid credit card and click here to use it. If you can find a place that sells gift cards for cash, they are as anonymous as sending cash and much safer.
Checks and Money Orders
Sometimes the old ways are best. The least “de-platformable” way to send donations to Counter-Currents is to put a check or money order in the mail. Simply print and complete the Word or PDF donation form and mail it to:
Counter-Currents Publishing, Ltd.
P.O. Box 22638
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA
[email protected]
Thank you, Boomers, for keeping your checkbooks, envelopes, and stamps. There are youngsters reading this site who have never written a check or put a letter in the mail.
Bill Payment Services
If you wish to make monthly donations by mail, see if your bank has a bill payment service. Then all you need to do is set up a monthly check to be dispatched by mail to our PO box. This check can be made out to Counter-Currents or to Greg Johnson. After the initial bother of setting it up, you never have to think about it again.
Crypto-Currencies
In addition to old-fashioned paper donations, those new-fangled crypto-currencies are a good way to circumvent censorious credit card corporations.
- Click here to go to our crypto donation page.
- Click here for a basic primer on how to get started using crypto. Do not, however, use COINBASE. COINBASE will not allow you to send money to Counter-Currents. (Yes, it is that bad.)
The Counter-Currents Foundation
Note: Donations to Counter-Currents Publishing are not tax deductible. We do, however, have a 501c3 tax-exempt educational corporation called The Counter-Currents Foundation. If you want to make a tax-deductible gift, please email me at [email protected]. You can send donations by mail to:
The Counter-Currents Foundation
P.O. Box 22638
San Francisco, CA 94122
USA
Remember Us in Your Will
Finally, we would like to broach a very delicate topic: your will. If you are planning your estate, please think about how you can continue helping the cause even after you are gone. The essay “Majority Estate Planning” contains many helpful suggestions.
Remember: those who fight for the Golden Age live in it today.
Thank you again for your loyal readership and generous support.

Does these numbers add up?
125kb without the added files. If you divide the data on “number of visits” you get about 110kb per visit, which is probably more accurate considering that browsers cache media.
There is a lot of embedded javascript on your pages, and you can probably reduce some data traffic by moving those into separate files.
Here’s how it works: When a browser reads your webpage it first download and reads the html, then ask to receive the files referenced in the html code. If the browser has previously downloaded the same file from a different page, it will skip it to save data and increase speed.
If moving out embedded code reduce the document size by 50%, and each user loads three pages, that is about 100kb per visitor, and 1,5gb per month. I’m guessing that content distribution is expensive, and that this may save you a little money. I don’t know.
Looks like some of my comment disappeared. After the first question, I divided the bandwidth on pages viewed, which amounts to about 25kb per page, if i remember correctly. While this page is much larger, and then follows the rest of my post.
