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.

Remarkable People

On the road I have traveled, I have met many remarkable people. First I name my friend and mentor the late Emile Capouya. “Mike” encouraged me over the years and published two of my books in New York.

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.

Vienna Today

Returning to my birthplace has given me a unique opportunity of writing on Third Reich Revisionism. This topic interlinks with Violence under the Guise of Art like pieces of a puzzle to reveal how the past manifests itself in the present.

Elitist Luminaries Set Examples

Peter Zadek is indubitably the greatest German theater director, even greater it pains me to say, than my favorite, the great Claus Peymann.

Here’ the compassionate Herr Peymann: “Ordinary murderers kill after they have raped a woman or they kill to acquire money. These terrorists (Bader-Meinhoff) thought that by murdering they had to take action against the murder of hundreds of thousands of children in Vietnam and they thought that they had to take action against the poverty in the Third World.”
- Der Spiegel Online, March 13, 2007

And the sagacious Herr Zadek on America: “I am an anti-American. I find America revolting.” And “Nothing but horrible junk comes out of Hollywood.”
- Max Brym hagalil.com, July, 20, 2003

Zadek quotes his friend, the Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter: “The US is really beyond reason now. It is beyond our imagining to know what they are going to do next and what they are prepared to do. There is only one comparison: Nazi Germany.”
- Angelique Chrisafis and Imogen Tilden, The Guardian. June 11, 2003

Zadek has a universal solution for war, which would have applied to Nazi Germany: “Wars begin because people are no longer able to talk to each other.”

Here’s another statement by a Nobel Laureate: “I believe that man is evil; that is my gospel, and I believe that he must be controlled, otherwise he’ll behave like a lowdown rat.”

These elitist luminaries are setting fine examples for us commonfolk to follow.
