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.

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 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.

“Masturbating on Maestro Mozart”

(Retrospective Salzburg 2006)

- Herbert Kuhner

“The cat is out of the bag:
Christoph Schlingensief’s ‘Animatograf’ Number six
can be seen since Saturday afternoon
at the Museum der Moderne on Mönchsberg
in Salzburg: ‘Chickenballs: Testicle Park.’
is part of the Summer Exhibit
Titled ‘Les Grands Spectacles II’”

“Mozart plays with his sex organ, etc., etc., etc!”

“Schlingensief personally declared
at the opening of the exhibit
that it is not a matter of provocation.”

(And the creative genius Mozart,
excuse me, I mean Schlingensief,
is right. It is not a matter of provocation
but rather a matter of enlightenment!)

Integrity

Hamas and Hezbollah have emerged as major factors in the Middle East. Their leaders exemplify a new kind of integrity. They live modestly and they do not have Swiss bank accounts. They provide social benefits for the poor and have established efficiently run schools, hospitals and homes for the aged.

The officers and volunteers of the political, social, and military arms of these organizations enjoy a unique camaraderie.

In the schools children are taught the tenets of Islam, and they are prepared to enter manhood and womanhood as fighters for Islam. They are taught the martial arts - and also how to become suicide bombers. Their aim is to kill civilians of those nations which they consider to be their mortal enemies. Children are taught to kill children.

And in the meantime, being used as human shields will do.

This is all part of integrity.

A Taboo

vanessa_redgrave.jpgThe State of Israel must be overthrown, there is no room for such a state….The Zionist state is the cause of conflict and violence in the Middle East. I am against the racism and violence of the Zionist state of Israel, but I also oppose anti-Semitism.”
- Vanessa Redgrave, Arab Perspective, 1981, DiscovertheNetworks.Org

galloway.jpg“Israel and dirty tricks have a long history.” It is “a little settler state on the Mediterranean” whose purpose is to “act as an advanced guard in the Arab world…..This is the thing about Zionism. It has nothing to do with Jewishness. Some of the biggest Zionists in the world are not Jews. These people have used Jewish people. They created the conditions in the Arab countries and in some European countries to stampede Jewish people out of the countries that they had been living in for many hundreds of years and stampede them into the Zionist state.”
- George Galloway, Home News National, Daniel Kahtan, July 5, 2007

michael_moore_s.jpg“In their hearts, they (the Israelis) know they are wrong, and they know they would be doing just what the Palestinians are doing if the sandal were on the other foot Here’s a way to stop suicide bombings - give the Palestinians a bunch of missile-firing Apache helicopters and let them and the Israelis go at each other head to head.”
- Michael Moore, Dude Where’s My Country? Warner Books, 2003

It has been taboo to kill women and children. Of course that taboo has been broken again and again. But now that taboo is a thing of the past. And there are many who favor and sympathize with those who break it. Read more »

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.”

The Sheik and Women

Here’s a Taliban speaker at the beginning of the century on the opposite sex:
“How can you trust anyone who bleeds once a month?!”

And here’s Australian Mufti Sheik Taj Din al-Halali on the subject of the opposite sex:
“If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden
or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it…
whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat?
If she was in her room, in her home and covered up,
no problem would have occurred.” In the same sermon al-Hilaly
also alluded to the infamous Sydney gang rapes - carried out in 2000
by mainly Lebanese youths who received long jail sentences - suggesting
the attackers were not entirely to blame. He said there were women
who “sway suggestively” and wore make-up and immodest dress…
and then you get a judge without mercy and gives you 65 years.”
(1)

As a man, I say men are disgusting creatures.
