As Martin Luther King Day approaches (observed January 19, 2026), Sam Francis's 2005 essay "For MLK Day, A Tale of Two Murders" offers a sharp, contrarian lens on the holiday's legacy. Published on January 17, 2005, Francis begins wryly: "Like the fog in Carl Sandburg’s insipid poem, Martin Luther King Day this year seems to have crept up on the nation on little cat feet." He contrasts the media's triumphant coverage of the arrest of aging white Klansman Edgar Ray Killen for the 1964 murders of civil rights workers with the sympathetic portrayal in The New York Times of Black convicted murderer Wilbert Rideau—who in 1961 robbed a bank, took white hostages, and brutally killed one by stabbing and slitting her throat—focusing on his "transformation" while downplaying his victims. Francis argues this reveals a double standard: glee over prosecuting white racial killers tied to the civil rights era, versus excuses for Black-on-white violence, highlighting what he saw as selective racial narratives and media bias in how justice and history are framed during MLK commemorations. It's a provocative reminder that the holiday's meaning remains deeply contested. https://www.unz.com/sfrancis/for-mlk-day-a-tale-of-two-murders/

In a world that demands conformity and erasure, what does it mean to be 'loyal unto death'? Jared Taylor's powerful new essay in American Renaissance explores the life and final act of Dominique Venner—a French dissident who chose suicide in Notre-Dame to protest the replacement of his people and awaken slumbering Europeans. Drawing from samurai honor, Homer's epics, and the spirit of rebellion, Venner offers a handbook for those who refuse to fade quietly. This is the story of a samurai of the West... and why his message is more urgent than ever in 2026. https://www.amren.com/features/2026/01/loyal-unto-death/

In 2002, The American Conservative launched as a fearless critic of neoconservative foreign policy disasters and a rare mainstream outlet willing to confront immigration, multiculturalism, and the erosion of American identity. By 2016, it had become just another timid publication purging dissident voices and obsessing over theology and harmless trivia. Linda Preston's incisive analysis in American Renaissance traces this fall from grace—and what it reveals about the cowardice gripping the broader Right.

In an era of persistent racial tensions and endless calls for reconciliation, one provocative voice argues that White America's well-intentioned efforts to appease Black grievances are not only ineffective but counterproductive—fueling greater hostility while eroding societal standards. Jamaican researcher and writer Lipton Matthews, in this 2021 American Renaissance piece, contends that Whites must abandon pandering altogether, allowing Blacks to navigate success or failure independently, lest continued intervention drag everyone down. What follows is a bold challenge to conventional approaches on race relations: "Whites Must Stop Pandering." https://www.amren.com/news/2021/01/white-must-stop-pandering-to-blacks/

Long before “diversity” became corporate dogma and social media virtue currency, Sam Francis spotted the game: affluent white liberals stocking their kids’ toy boxes with rainbow coalitions of dolls—not to fight racism, but to advertise their own enlightenment. In this merciless takedown, Francis reveals the unspoken truth: for some, diversity isn’t a goal. It’s a toy. https://www.unz.com/sfrancis/a-white-liberal-family-and-their-diversity-toy-box/

This is a personal, reflective essay by Jef Costello (a longtime contributor to Counter-Currents, often writing on philosophy, culture, and personal topics) exploring the deep emotional bond between men and dogs. He argues that dogs embody many of the masculine virtues men admire in comrades or soldiers—loyalty, obedience, courage, ferocity, and playfulness—while providing uncomplicated companionship that inspires men to be better.

This is a detailed report/review of the 22nd annual American Renaissance (AmRen) conference held November 14–16, 2025, at Montgomery Bell State Park in Tennessee. Written in a supportive, optimistic tone, it summarizes the talks, highlights themes of white advocacy, and calls for a cultural shift toward collectivism, honor, and exclusive White communities amid demographic threats. It's classic Costello style: first-person attendee report, warm and humorous observations (young attendees, infants, the old man taking photos, the lone protester playing the Imperial March), mixed with sharp summaries of each speaker's key points and an overall tone of guarded optimism about the movement's future.

Why do African leaders eagerly court Chinese investment while simultaneously demanding reparations from Britain for slavery—never once raising Beijing's own documented role in the enslavement of Africans? In the Aporia article, "Reparations as Political Performance," Lipton Matthews exposes the selective outrage driving the modern reparations movement, revealing it as a calculated shakedown rooted in contemporary politics rather than consistent principle. https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/reparations-as-political-performance?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=828904&post_id=180100953&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=kzk6k&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

In a year when corporate media and awards shows routinely crown biological men as "Women of the Year," Travis LeBlanc flips the script with some well-deserved satirical recognition. Meet Leonarda Jonie: the fearless, unapologetic Albanian-American comedian who's been banned, censored, and canceled for daring to mock woke absurdities—from transgender ideology to open borders—while making audiences roar with laughter. In this hilarious and spot-on piece, LeBlanc crowns her the real Woman of the Year for 2025: a genuine woman who tells the truth without apology in an era that punishes exactly that. Essential listening as we close out the year—has the dissident right found its comedic queen?

At the 2025 American Renaissance conference, Jared Taylor delivered a stark and unflinching address: "The American Experiment Has Failed." In this powerful speech, Taylor argues that America's founding vision of a unified nation built on universal principles has collapsed under the weight of irreconcilable racial differences, mass immigration, and demographic transformation. He warns that no political solution—even a prolonged Trump-era miracle—can restore America as a homeland for its historic people, and calls for a new path forward rooted in explicit white advocacy. More optimistic than ever after 35 years in the fight, Taylor sees growing momentum on our side. Here is the full speech—bold, data-driven, and unapologetic.
