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.

Kalina & Dollfuß

Einladung an Josef Kalina
vom 06.09.2001

Ehemaliger SPÖ-Funktionär soll Stellung nehmen.

Josef Kalina, ehemaliger Pressesekretär von Bundeskanzler Viktor Klima und jetzige Redakteur für Kommunalpolitik bei der Kronen-Zeitung, wird eingeladen, zu den infamen Hetz-„Gedichten” von Wolf Martin und den unmenschlichen und revisionistischen Leserbriefen im sogenannten “Freien Wort”, einen Kommentar abzugeben. Es wäre interessant zu hören, wie dies alles mit den Grundsätzen der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Österreichs zu vereinbaren ist.

Dollfuß & Schuschnigg rückblickend

aus Zwischenwelt
Literatur . Widerstand . Exil
23. Jg. Nr. 4 Juni 2007

Anläßlich eines Empfanges für Repräsentanten der internationalen Staatengemeinschaft am 13. Januar 1988, sagte Kurt Waldheim: “Mitverantwortung an dem, was im Jahre 1938 geschehen ist, hat aber auch die internationale Staatengemeinschaft zu tragen, die einem kleinen Land gegen die Aggression einer übermächtigen Diktatur nicht beigestanden ist.”

Was Waldheim vergaß, ist, daß das „kleine Land” nur bei Mussolini um Unterstützung angesucht hatte. Österreich hat nicht versucht, Garantien von England und Frankreich zu erreichen. Statt dessen hat sich Bundeskanzler Dollfuß an Benito Mussolini gewandt, der sich später wiederum Hitler annäherte.

Sicher, England und Frankreich haben die Tschechoslowakei 1938 in München im Stich gelassen, aber hätte Österreich 1933 versucht, ein Abkommen mit den westlichen Demokratien zu treffen, wäre die Geschichte vielleicht etwas anders gelaufen.

schuessel.jpgIm Februar 2006 sieht es Bundeskanzler Wolfgang Schüssel anders: „Ich glaube, diese Diskussion ist entschieden. Das Land selber war Opfer einer Aggression, und zwar einer militärischen Aggression. Der Beweis dafür ist, daß bereits in der Nacht nach dem Einmarsch Tausende verhaftet wurden. Hätte die Nazi-Führung den Eindruck gehabt, ganz Österreich jubelt, dann hätte es diese Verhaftungen nicht gegeben. Die gesamte politische Elite wurde de facto ausgeschaltet. Es gab Widerstand in allen Lagern. Das darf man nicht ignorieren. Die Alliierten haben das sehr wohl anerkannt (…) Ich werde nie zulassen, daß man Österreich nicht als Opfer sieht.” (1)

Holocaust Denial and Birthday Celebrations

Herbert Kuhner

In November 2007, the state-funded journal Zur Zeit celebrated its tenth birthday. The guest speaker at the ceremony was Dr. Herbert Schaller. Commentaries by Dr. Schaller were presented in Tehran and in the Wiener Zeitung. The publisher of this illustrious journal is Dr. Andreas Mölzer, Freedom Party EU-Representative.

Dr. Herbert Schaller, David Irving’s attorney was invited to speak on December 12, 2006 by the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr. Mahmud Admadinejad at the Holocaust Denial Symposium in Teheran.

Wiener_Zeitung.gifDr. Schaller was subsequently invited by Dr. Andreas Unterberger, Editor-in-Chief of the Wiener Zeitung, the official bulletin of the Republic of Austria, to write as column on the subject of the Holocaust, which was published on January 18, 2007.

The following is an excerpt from Dr. Schaller’s treatise at the Teheran Conference in the official translation from the German by Dr. Patrick McNally:

“First of all, I would like to thank the Institute for Political and International Studies for organizing this conference and in particular I would like to take the liberty of expressing my great respect for the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr. Mahmud Admadinejad. He was the first important statesman in the world to publicly raise three facts:

1. the fact that the guilt of the Germans for the Holocaust has not yet been properly proven;

Shenanigans Extracts

The BBC documentary Sexual Crimes and the Vatican is based on a 1962 memo from the Congregation for the crimesVatican.jpgDoctrine 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 on the child victim, the priest, and any witnesses. The document was revised in 2001 to deal more specifically with sex abuse cases, but it still remained secret. And before being elected Pope in 2005, it was then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who headed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican department that enforced the rules.” (1)

According to CNN, Father Joseph Feit, confessed to a fellow clergyman that he had raped and killed young women in 1960 at McAllen Texas. Instead of being told to turn himself in, he was shielded and counselled at Assumption Abbey Monastery in Ava, Missouri. Now, after almost half a decade, one of his “counsellors” has told the story.

Catholic Shenanigans

We have heard so much talk in Austria from Bishops Andreas Laun and Kurt Krenn about abortion, which they describe as “murder in the womb.” According to Laun, if a child is raped and becomes pregnant, the child should have the child. (3) Here’s Laun making comparisons: “Hitler would have been delighted with legalized abortion.” (4) (Laun needs to polish up his history. In the Third Reich performing abortions was a capital crime.)

Pope John Paul II went on in the same vein and compared abortion with the Holocaust.(5)

I’d like to ask these clergymen what they have to say about murder after birth. The suffering of a murdered victim ceases after he has been killed. The practice of pedophilia is tantamount to murder, only the victim continues to live after he has been spiritually killed. The word “Holocaust” would certainly be more appropriate to describe the fate of these victims.

Here are some humanistic views by two theologians concerning contraception and incest:

Monsignor Carlo Caffarra: “According to Church Law it is ethical for a man to infect his whole family with aids, including his children. For it is Mortal Sin to prevent this from happening by the use of condoms….A man who has been infected with aids is justified in cohabiting with his wife. If he uses condoms, he is committing a Mortal Sin.” (6)

Peter de Rosa: “Masturbation is a sin more grievous than the rape of one’s own daughter. The latter is more ‘natural’ since an incestuous rape can at least lead to the birth of a child.” (7)

Let us give Caffarra and de Rosa the benefit of a doubt. Perhaps they real mean what they say, and perhaps they really think that they are speaking on behalf of the Deity.

If so, they are rigidly adhering to principles, even if it means the disregarding common sense and totally negating compassion.

I know that I’m letting my emotions get the better of me, but I say they are not on the side of the angels but rather are trodding are straight and narrow path to perdition in seven league boots. On the other hand, you can’t condemn a man for not knowing any better, so their destination can’t be subterranean. It’s a delightful little terrestrial state known as the Land of Wicky-Wacky-Woo.

And here’s an example of religious law and order: Cardinal Bernhard Law of Boston has been instrumental in protecting pedophiles from the law. In his Boston diocese, 60 churches were forced to close due to pedophile scandals. Law, who is a fugitive from American law, hightailed it to Rome where he is sitting pretty.
