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.

The Nth Council

“Close the doors!” said the pope. “We’ve just had the ultimate revelation and come to the ultimate conclusion. It seems that there’s nobody home upstairs, Sssshhhh! Don’t tell a soul! We must keep it a secret. We’ll make a vow of silence right here and now. No one must give us away, We’ll guide the faithful as we always have. What would they do without us? We’re with them from Baptism to Extreme Unction. We know what’s best for them, and we cap everything off with bliss after death. And certainly no one has ever come back to complain. The thing is to keep them happy and docile while they’re here.

Council-Chamber_1.jpgIt can’t be denied that we’ve never quite adhered to the truth, How long would we have lasted if we’d done that? And where would we be if we practiced the principles we preach? What’s changed? Is there any valid reason to close shop now? We’ll just add one more little white lie and go an doing business as usual.”
