World War 4 Report [3], the news service and digest we founded [4] in the aftermath of 9-11, is being incorporated into a new domain: CounterVortex [5]. We take this move in light of our expanding areas of coverage (beyond our original mandate of the Global War on Terrorism [6]), and to emphasize positive alternatives to the consolidating dystopia. The planet is spiraling into a vortex of ecological collapse [7], permanent war, and totalitarianism—whether of the techo-security state [8] or the religious and ethnic fundamentalisms [9] that ostensibly oppose it. Through our resistance, we create a counter-vortex, generating movement toward sustainability, peace, and popular democracy.
While we advance a ruthless criticism of all existing reality [10], this is not an invitation to mere nihilism: in negating the leviathan that is itself negating human freedom and autonomy [11], we utlimately seek a negation of the negation [12].
This is something of a reboot, and we call upon our readers to help spread the word of our existence. We must also emphasize that this project still fails to break even [13], and we must call upon all who appreciate our work to support us with whatever you can [14].
