Please support CounterVortex!

CounterVortex needs your support! This is the first time we have asked our readers for money in a year, and three of you have responded for a total of $55—just over one-tenth of the way to our modest goal of $500. We think we have more than three readers. And $500 is just a quarter of our annual operating costs. Last year, we were able to raise $500, and we are depending on you again. As most of the American left succumbs to abject glorification of reactionary dictators, we think it is more vital than ever to keep alive an intransigently dissident voice that still has fundamental anti-fascist principles intact—CounterVortex. If you don't think the pro-dictatorship position has become hegemonic on the "left," the latest example comes from the holiday statement just issued by Veterans for Peace (sic!), hailing the genocidal regime of Bashar Assad as the "secular, multi-religious Syrian state." Somebody needs to forthrightly repudiate this repugnant jive, and  that responsibility falls to us. We are also the only website on the American left that provides ongoing, serious coverage of under-reported or downright forgotten wars in places like Chechnya, Mali, the Philippines and Colombia. Please give what you can to sustain our efforts.

Note: There is a small handful of you readers who support us every time we ask for money. We emphasize that this pitch is not aimed at you. You have more than done your part. The big majority of our readers (based on Google stats and the number on our e-list) have never supported us at all. It is time for you to step up to the plate. You know who you are. 

And we would rather get $10 donations from 50 readers than $100 donations from five readers—knowing we have a following is more important to us than deep pockets. So please... just make a $10 donation. That's the rough equivalent of two round-trip New York City subway rides. Just do it. Thank you.

Warlock Asylum names Bill Weinberg 'News Journalist of the Year'

Submitted by Bill Weinberg on Wed, 01/30/2019 - 19:39

It is starting to feel like an annual ritual, but Warlock Asylum International News has once again named Yours Truly "News Journalist of the Year." Perhaps taking note of my work in The Villager, they write: "On the streets of New York City, Bill Weinberg ranks as one of the last missionaries possessed with the spirit of the old East Village." They add: "His commitment to political awareness is unprecedented."

Well, we don't know about unprecedented, but we'd like think it is exemplary. If you agree with Warlock Asylum, please show us some love.... Small donations ENCOURAGED.

 

Another ringing endorsement

Submitted by Bill Weinberg on Fri, 02/01/2019 - 03:10

Our reader and sometime collaborator John Veit responds on Facebook to Yours Tuly being named "News Journalist of the Year" by Warlock Asylum International News...

Congrats to Bill Weinberg, the hardest working man in journalism, proving to all tech geeks that you don't need a cell phone to do great work.

Go, WEINBERG!

If you agree with Jon Veit, please show us some love.... Small donations ENCOURAGED.
