    Counter Currents - Apr 7th 2026 10:21am EDT

    Herman Kahn, author of On Escalation. 1,672 words So often in geopolitical discussions commentators invoke the specter of escalation and the prospect of climbing the “escalation ladder,” rung by rung, towards ultimate nuclear cataclysm. Unfortunately, we are in the midst of one of the worst global crises in living memory where escalation is being recklessly […]

    Counter Currents - Apr 7th 2026 5:07am EDT

    Cellphone footage of the recent Clapham mob. 3,019 words What is terrorism? There have been many attempts to provide a universally accepted definition.

    1,944 words It is an open question as to precisely how many children Vladimir Putin actually has, but if it was up to him, no doubt he would impregnate every last comely young devotchka in the country.

  • There’s Going to Be a Ground Invasion of Iran

    Counter Currents - Apr 3rd 2026 1:32pm EDT

    1,465 words Donald Trump addressed the nation on April Fools’ Day. It would have been too painful to listen to his adenoidal droning and borscht-belt insult comedian shtick, so I just read the transcript. He said nothing new. It was just a live version of his social media tweets: rambling, mendacious, self-contradictory, delusional, emotionally labile, […]

    Counter Currents - Apr 2nd 2026 9:28am EDT

    5,504 words The novelist Anthony Burgess (A Clockwork Orange) wrote that patriotism essentially means killing whomever your government tells you it is fashionable to kill.

    Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. 1,401 words In March 2026, the United Nations passed a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity.

Once we step […]

    Counter Currents - Mar 30th 2026 11:32am EDT

    3,825 words Earlier this month on Counter-Currents, I wrote about the Left-wing Irish ruling elite’s wretched attempts to transform the country’s main female religious icon, St Brigid, into the patron saint not of Ireland, but of abortion, lesbianism, and globalization. Then, on March 17, St Patrick’s Day arrived, and these very same godawful eejits decided […]

  • Against Conspiracism Part 3

    Counter Currents - Mar 27th 2026 7:48am EDT

    2,564 words Part 1 is available here and Part 2 here. To demonstrate the flawed reasoning behind the conspiracist worldview, I’m going to compare two very similar conspiracy theories.
