News from Hugh Akins

  • Below is a copy of an email I received yesterday from Hugh Akins.  As you can see from its contents, I have decided to post it here in the hope that it will help him out in his time of need.

    Hi ..........,
     
    Hope all is well with you too.
     
    Can't say much about my situation as I am being closely monitored by... you can imagine by who.   The last 5-6 books I published, since and especially including SR, seem to have been the straws that broke the camel's (my Zionist enemies') back.
     
    They shut down my website and cancelled my paypal account, plus seem determined to erase any presence online, including running interference against those selling my books at Amazon.
     
    Thank God for the very few friends that have been truly loyal and supportive, even at great risk to themselves.  With the website gone, I lost perhaps 95% of my income, my family and I falling on extremely hard times.  But refusing to be silenced; still selling books through my P.O. Box and accepting payments only by check or m.o., although no more by credit card, which unfortunately discourages a great many sales.
     
    No digital presence other than... I am reluctant to mention names, fearing the Powers That Be may go after them as well.  A search of "Hugh Akins Catholic" will make clear the few friends I have left who will not be intimidated.  
     
    I am still planning on republishing a new, updated, revised and condensed edition of SR under the title ѕуηαgσgυє RISING II / ANTICHRIST RISING.  Working day and night on it.  
     
    There's been a tremendous surge of interest in and demand for the book especially since Trump, Netanyahu, Israel and Zionism are now being seen by more and more people as the evil monsters they really are, over the Gaza genocide, the Charlie Kirk assassination, the connection between Trump and Epstein, etc.  Dozens of readers recalled what I wrote so many yrs ago exposing them at a time the majority thought favorably of them.   I have no funds for another printing, but I have lots of friends who've expressed a willingness to help bring the book back into print, however they can.
     
    That's about all I can say.   If you still have access to any Catholic blogs, like CathInfo, or others, and are inclined to share the above basic info as a post, it would be of immense help, I think.  I am to understand lots of inquiries have been posted asking the open question, "whatever happened to Hugh Akins and his website?"  
     
    I do have an updated booklist that former supporters might appreciate receiving and might be willing to share with others, bypassing the Internet.  My only contact info today is as follows (with checks payable to):
     
    Hugh Akins
    P.O. Box 678047
    Orlando FL 32867
     
    hughakins@comcast.net.
     
    CTC Books, Catholic Action Resource Center and the League of Christ the King no longer exist.  There's just me.
     
    Thanks, .........
     
    God bless.
     
    Hugh

  • Mat,  

    Thanks for the update on the American Catholic patriot, Hugh Akins.

    He will one day be rewarded for his courage to speak out against the enemies of Jesus Christ and our holy religion.
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

    So you can manage e-mail, but can't manage to sign up for an old school discussion forum, huh?
    It's not that difficult. You just type in your e-mail address (which you obviously have) and pick a simple password. That's it. After those easy, simple, baby-steps, not only can you read the forum (which you can already do, even as a Guest) but also post!
    You act like you DON'T have access to CathInfo. You haven't been banned, you know. You're always more than welcome to join us here on the forum and talk about your situation yourself.
    Is it that you don't want to lower yourself? Dirty your hands? Are we beneath you or something?

    I feel a bit offended, both for myself and on behalf of the membership here, at your aloofness. It's not like you can't operate a computer. You had websites of your own, you write books (presumably on a computer), and you can manage e-mail just fine.

    I am to understand lots of inquiries have been posted asking the open question, "whatever happened to Hugh Akins and his website?"

    Yes, your servants, maids, and butler were overheard talking about what they read on the "forums". The filthy plebs. Perish the thought that YOU would actually visit such back alleys and disreputable places yourself.
    Seriously, I can't read that WITHOUT an upper-class British accent in my head.

    "I am to understand lots of inquiries have been posted..." Seriously, man? Who talks like that? What kind of blue blood nonsense is that? It sounds like legalese carefully worded to lead readers to believe YOU didn't lower yourself, or soil your hands, by reading such posts yourself.


    Nevertheless, THAT HAVING BEEN SAID, I support Hugh Akins as a fellow "cancelled Catholic". I had my Paypal and another financial account closed, which caused the shutdown of my own online business (ChantCD.com). I can no longer sell my Gregorian chant MP3s. And then there's the constant bot traffic to CathInfo, as well as the recent hack. They want me gone/silenced/shut down as well.

    Hugh Akins has done a lot of good for the Faith and the Traditional Catholic movement.

    * From a past post about Hugh Akins:
    I didn't know that Hugh Akins fought in Vietnam. He fought "for 2 years" and came home in 1969. Imagine how he felt when he learned how the world works (and who is in control). No wonder he has undertaken this crusade to uncover (((them))) and thwart their plans.

    They weren't drafting (or accepting for service) anyone under 18, as far as I understand.

    He's got to be getting up there in age.

    With the website gone, I lost perhaps 95% of my income, my family and I falling on extremely hard times.

    I have a few questions, if you will indulge me --

    Don't you qualify for Social Security in your late 70's or 80's?
    Assuming $1,800 a month Social Security (which is quite conservative), if that is only 5% of your income, that means you were making $36,000 a MONTH -- NET PROFIT -- selling your books.
    Knowing what I know about the book market -- I can't believe that.

    And your family is falling on hard times? Aren't your kids grown and moved away by now, perhaps with grandchildren of their own?
    Haven't you paid off your 30-year mortgage yet?

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/average-social-security-benefit-every-120016509.html
    According to the Social Security Administration, or SSA, the average monthly retirement benefit for Social Security recipients is currently about $1,976 in 2025. Several factors can drag that average up or down, but you have the most control over the biggest variable of all — the age that you decide to cash in.
    For comparison, below is a chart for general assessments of Social Security benefits:
    Type of beneficiaryAverage monthly benefit
    All recipients$1,976
    Retirement benefits$1,872.09
    Retired workers$1,920.48
    Survivor benefits$1,509.36
    Nondisabled widow(er)s$1,784.56
    Disability insurance$1,402.69
    Disabled workers$1,539.92



    I don't know the details of your family's economic situation, but I would like to throw this out there as a fact --
    Every generation after yours had it objectively harder, in terms of keeping a job, buying a house, saving for retirement, etc.
    What is my point? I don't know. I'm just saying.

    The idea that Hugh Akins, obviously a very intelligent man to be able to write so many useful, cogent, informative, and wise books -- is experiencing "extremely hard times" financially despite being in the most economically advantaged generation that ever existed (Baby Boomers) -- that is the ultimate Black Pill for the younger generations. I mean, we're talking about a good Catholic gentleman, obviously educated and intelligent, and a serious Catholic, crashing and burning on Easy Mode. Where does that leave the rest of us? Gen X is playing the game of Life on "Normal Mode". Millennials are on "Hard Mode" and Gen Z is on "Nightmare Mode".

    Again, I'm not against Trad Catholics making an appeal for financial support. And men like Hugh Akins deserve it more than most, on account of the work they've done for the cause over many years, even decades.
    But if I have questions, I'm sure others do as well. Shouldn't I speak my mind, or just dummy up and be fake polite, thinking it instead of saying it?

  • Matthew, 

    As you know, you are obviously free to communicate with Hugh directly and I would be surprised if he did not respond to you fairly promptly.  Nevertheless, since you have posted your take/speculation openly on your site, I will send him a link to the thread and let him decide to see if he wishes me to communicate anything to you directly, via myself or through some other third party.  Who knows -- he may even sign up for membership on CI!

  • CI is a good opportunity to get more view/attention, and there's a buy/sell/trade section the books could be listed on. 

    What about digital copies for sale (PDF, ebook, ect)?

    I know I was critical, but after thinking about it for a while, I concluded by asking myself, "Are certain persons supposed to be above questions or criticism?" I didn't think that was the case.

    After all, as far as I know, Hugh Akins is a retired layman, not a busy priest/bishop, and should have time to personally post on a forum, for public relations/helping support his family if nothing else. I mean, posting on a forum would be part of his apostolate/business, no?

    Is it really a "thing" for certain people to consider themselves above going onto a public forum where everyone's equal, and post things personally? I don't run into that attitude very often, which is why it was so noteworthy.


    But this line of his still slays me --

    No matter how many times I re-read that, I can't interpret it any other way.
