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 to have smooth sailing, 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.

Father Wagner Explains Natural Catastrophes

Herbert Kuhner

Father Gerhard Maria Wagner of Windischgarsten, Upper Austria, posits:
“They are God’s punishment for man’s sinful behavior.”

Gerhard_Maria_Wagner.jpg“Hurricane Katrina was a result of spiritual pollution. It is surely not an accident that all five of New Orleans’ abortion clinics, as well as nightclubs were destroyed. It’s not just any old city that has gone under, but a dream city with the best brothels and the most beautiful whores.”

Sounds like it was a great place. Sodom and Gomorrah must have been nothing in comparison. But I guess the Deity didn’t like it much. He’s always been a wet blanket.

Concerning the earthquake in Haiti, Father Wagner ventures: “God does not show us his cards.” And he goes on to say, “It is interesting that in Haiti, 90 percent are followers of voodoo cults.”

I’ve always wondered why such catastrophes occur. I’m grateful to Father Wagner for cluing me in.

In Feb 2009, Pope XVII appointed Wagner as auxiliary Bishop of Linz, but after a storm of protest, Wagner decided to stay in Windischgarsten. What a loss for Linz! - and for Austria.
