Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Herbert Kuhner

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . .I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes". As a subtitle I’ve chosen “Stepping out of line,” which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

The Gory Club

Four little girls were killed by a segregationist’s bomb in a Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. The perpetrators were monsters who can be compared to the Nazi murderers of children.
Now children are killed on a daily basis by pious men (and women) who pray five times a day.
In 2002 two devout Israelis attempted […]

What Else Is New?

Herbert Kuhner
Here’s a quote from a document: ” Do not hesitate to use your firearm, not even when the border is breached in the company of women and children, which is a tactic the traitors have often used”
The document is dated October 1, 1973, and it stems from the Stasi, the East German intelligence organization.
Yes, […]

The “Good Sides” of the Third Reich

Herbert Kuhner
“Of course the National Socialist Regime had its good sides, but we just don’t hear about them.” (1)
- Wolfgang Zanger, Freedom Party
And more recently:
And in a tongue in cheek manner: “Apparently, today you are required to say that everything that was done at the time was catastrophic: The 1st of May, the church […]

Safe

Shades shielding his eyes,
walkman plugs
in his ears,
chewing gum
in his mouth,
a butt between his lips -
he’s safe.
Yes, he’s safe from
thinking a thought.
The iPod is his filter
as he goes from one techno temple
to another.
All the digital and techno accoutrements
are not the accoutrements of democracy,
but rather the accoutrements of dictatorship.
Techno music at full blast and multiple flatscreens
blot out […]

The Hereafter

Herbert Kuhner
The news was a death blow. The death blow! The end was in sight. Soon it would be over and I would embark on life’s greatest adventure. I would cross the border between the world of light and the world of darkness. I would transcend existence. The greatest secret would finally be revealed to […]

Islamist Motives

Nazi Germany started saturation bombing in a war situation. Women and children were killed “indirectly.”
The Allies responded.
The Nazis also killed women and children directly in death factories outside of a war situation.
The Islamists kill woman and children.
They claim they are in a war situation, and they are right.
The motives originally stated were the destruction of […]

Knocking Out Saddam

Herbert Kuhner
There are those who favored the invasion of Iraq,
since Saddam, an enemy of Israel, was taken out.
However, he ran Iraq with the Sunni minority,
and now that he’s gone,
the Shiites are running the Iraqi show,
which means that Shiite Iran,
a country on the path to nuclear weapons
has gained power and influence.
All Moslem countries are not favorably […]

FireBirds

Here’s an except from an article in News August, 30, 2007 titled “Yes, we wanted to kill!” Three Styrian youths planned to murder a woman. They wanted to hear death cries, so they set bird chicks on fire. Nineteen-year-old Karlheinz recalls that Daniel told him how “terrific” it is to kill animals. “We got right […]

Shenanigans Extracts

The BBC documentary Sexual Crimes and the Vatican is based on a 1962 memo from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. “The document reaffirmed the inviolability of the seal of confession, but the BBC film said that it was intended to ‘protect and hide’ abusive priests….There was to be an oath of secrecy […]
