The Palestine Congress

Thank God for the German Hate Police! Or heil … or whatever the appropriate salutation is for these unsung heroes. They just saved us all from “hate” again! Yes, that’s right, once again, democracy-loving people here in New Normal Berlin and all across the New Normal world were right on the brink of being exposed… Read More The Palestine Congress
Degenerate Art in New Normal Germany
24 March 2024 @ 5:24 pm
One of the first things totalitarians do when they set about transforming a democratic society into whatever type of strictly-regulated, utterly soul-deadening totalitarian dystopia they are trying to transform it into is radically overhaul and remake its culture. You can’t impose your new official ideology on a formerly democratic society with a bunch of artists… Read More Degenerate Art in New Normal Germany
Mistakes Were Made
15 March 2024 @ 3:46 pm
Make fun of the Germans all you want, and I’ve certainly done that a bit during these past few years, but, if there’s one thing they’re exceptionally good at, it’s taking responsibility for their mistakes. Seriously, when it comes to acknowledging one’s mistakes, and not rationalizing, or minimizing, or attempting to deny them, and any… Read More Mistakes Were Made
The Ministry of AI Truth
29 February 2024 @ 6:28 pm
Remember HAL, the homicidal Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey? Well, if you haven’t had the pleasure yet, let me introduce you to Gemini, Google’s “multimodal large language model.” Gemini hasn’t killed anyone yet — as far as I know, the liquidation of Gaza is being assisted by an Israeli… Read More The Ministry of AI Truth
The Resistible Rise of The New Normal Reich
4 February 2024 @ 4:18 pm
So, the German authorities have filed an appeal to overturn my acquittal in criminal court last week. Apparently, their plan is to keep putting me on trial until they get a judge who is willing to convict me of something, or to bankrupt me with legal costs. Silly me, for a moment there, I was… Read More The Resistible Rise of The New Normal Reich
The Verdict
4 February 2024 @ 11:48 am
So, my show trial for thoughtcrimes in criminal court in New Normal Germany went pretty well. I was acquitted. Technically, it isn’t all over, because the prosecutor has a week to appeal the decision, but, given the circumstances, I doubt he will. He made a total fool of himself in front of a large audience… Read More The Verdict
Meet the Thought Police
16 January 2024 @ 4:36 pm
So, my trial for thoughtcrimes in New Normal Germany takes place next Tuesday, January 23rd. It will likely be a one-day affair. It’s open to the public, so, if you’re in Berlin, you can come and watch at the Berlin District Court, Turmstraße 91, Room 371. The proceedings are scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon.… Read More Meet the Thought Police
The Year of The Mindfuck
21 December 2023 @ 2:28 pm
Well, that’s pretty much it for 2023 … which I’m officially dubbing The Year of The Mindfuck. I am doing that against the advice of my attorney, who is (a) trying to keep me out of German prison for as long as possible, and (b) trying to stop me from gratuitously alienating whatever remains of… Read More The Year of The Mindfuck
The Schizotocracy, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The New Normal Reich
7 December 2023 @ 3:26 pm
Well, 2023 is almost in the books, and things couldn’t be going better for the New Normal Reich. It’s been a long, strange seven years, but we’re finally back to the Global War on Terror, which, as you may recall, was abruptly preempted in 2016 by the War on Populism, which, as you may recall,… Read More The Schizotocracy, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The New Normal Reich
The Hate Machine
21 November 2023 @ 2:34 pm
I think something’s wrong with my Hate Machine. I’ve got it turned up to 10, but I’m still not feeling it. The hate. The murderous, self-righteous hate. The mindlessly fanatical hate. I set the dial to “Palestinians.” Nothing. No reaction whatsoever. So, I set it to “Israelis.” Again, nothing. I just can’t seem to get… Read More The Hate Machine
