- "Why, I don't even respect myself, I tell ya. When
I make love, I have to fantasize that I am somebody else!" -- Rodney
Dangerfield
-
- I lived in San Francisco during the early 1970s, just
as "the city" was beginning to change forever from "Baghdad
by the Bay" and "Everybody's Favorite City" into the roiling
mess that recent years have seen it become. Those were the heydays for
The Fillmore, The Great American Music Hall and a number of comedy clubs.
Before the homeless became a problem. Before the Harvey Milk/Dan White
fiasco which was to produce Dianne Feinstein, until then a minor city functionary,
and militant homosexuality. While Willie Brown was merely a stain on the
California legislature. Pop music icons grew like weeds in the clubs.
Huey Lewis and The News were just another unknown group that played around
town. The Jefferson Airplane (later to call themselves the Jefferson
Starship) held court in their mansion out toward the Avenues.
-
- In particular, I remember a young standup comic who couldn't
get on stage at any of the clubs because he was "too weird."
Bob Goldthwait, whose highwater mark seems to have been made in the popular
"Police Academy" series of movies but whose best work I think
was done in a little movie entitled "Shakes the Clown," started
performing on the sidewalks, for free, outside the very clubs that wouldn't
have him. When Goldthwait began to draw crowds bigger than those paying
to get inside, the clubs decided to let him inside.
-
- I know just how he felt out there on the sidewalk. Denied
the legitimacy of mainstream venues because the management demands conformity
to certain standards. Why, I don't even get respect from some Internet
venues that bill themselves as the politically-incorrect, in-touch sites
for up-to-date thinking. The Free Republic and Etherzone both have specifically
banned my work, while giving full access to those who trash my thinking
and reputation. WorldNetDaily, of course, has never touched anything of
mine, though Joe Farah and I have had a few spirited email exchanges through
the years. These sites caved in to the Chosen and their minions years
ago and clearly show the effect. Even the esteemed Lew Rockwell has rejected
my best work with a brisk, "I can't use this."
-
- So, I toil away for free out here on the sidewalk under
the broiling sun. That's ok. Every dog has his day - mine is coming.
-
- Sure, there are a few Internet sites that regularly present
my work and I commend them to you for a truly unvarnished look at world
events:
- http://www.rense.com/Rense.com,
- http://www.stormfront.org/forum/ Stormfront,
- http://www.vanguardnewsnetwork.com/ Vanguard Network
News, http://www.whitecivilrights.com/commentaries.shtml Euro,
- http://www.nationalvanguard.org/ The National Vanguard,
- http://www.overthrow.com/ Overthrow and
- http://www.barnesreview.org/The Barnes Review, among
others. And I am sincerely gratified by the reposting my work receives
worldwide, some folks even going to the trouble of translating my columns
into their local language. In reality, though, all these web sites are
out here on the sidewalk with me. An "Internet desperado" is
how Israel Shamir (a rare voice of Israeli reason) characterized me. But,
that's ok. Our day is coming.
-
- The mainstream thinks the economy is in full recovery.
They are wrong. A collapse which will cause us to start numbering global
economic depressions is just around the corner and there is absolutely
nothing that can be done about it, so far gone is America's economy. Thank
George the Second and, especially, Alan Greenspan. With it will go the
current regime and the current way of thinking about global politics. Then
people will invite us in and pretend they have just discovered us. That
is the time for which we prepare today.
-
- Those in California (or further, for that matter) will
have a rare opportunity next month to see and hear some of the people from
around the world with whom I will share the dais when our sort of thinking
goes mainstream. The weekend of April 24/25 will see Sacramento hosting
the first truly public International Revisionist Conference, featuring
most of the top names in the field of historical revisionism. Among them:
Germany's Activist/Author/Attorney Horst Mahler, Australia's Frederick
Toben, America's own Walter Mueller and Mark Weber, Canadian Paul Fromm,
German expatriate Germar Rudolf and several others from Poland, Britain,
Austria, Mexico, South Africa and other countries - wherever political
dissent is vilified, in fact. Even anti-Revisionist Barry Chamish of Israel
has confirmed and will address the assemblage, in a move which would be
like the ADL inviting me to address its annual conference.
-
- Conspicuous by his absence will be Ernst Zundel, who
has been held in prison in Canada for over a year by the thought police,
merely for daring to speak the truth. This conference is dedicated to
Mr. Zundel.
-
- Oddly enough, perhaps for comic relief, I have been invited
to address the conference and will be almost the last speaker, just prior
to the Sunday evening dinner speaker, whose identity is being kept a mystery
until then. I haven't written out my talk yet, but intend to speak on
the importance of historical revisionism to us today. It won't be nearly
as boring as the topic sounds, I assure you. I can, of course, be expected
to break into one of my characteristic rants.
-
- I encourage you to attend this conference, open to the
public for the first time. Go here for information: http://www.adelaideinstitute.org/Conference/sacramento0.htm.
The registration fee is a mere $35, which actually includes several meals!
Clearly, someone is subsidizing this event, which really should be charging
$200 per ticket.
-
- I will be attending the entire conference, as will most
of the speakers, thus will be available to all other attendees throughout
the weekend. Please walk up and introduce yourself. This is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to meet and speak with those who have been carrying on this
battle for the rest of us for so long.
-
- We have just learned that the primary hotel now is sold
out, though there is a motel across the street which still has some vacancies.
There are only 300 tickets being sold and it appears they will be gone
in short order, so don't dally if this is something you might like to attend.
Contact hansgemuetlich@yahoo.com for reservations.
-
- For those who are National Alliance members, I have been
invited to speak at the Leadership Conference in West Virginia the weekend
before the Revisionist conference: April 17/18. Though I will have to
leave a little early to catch a flight, I intend to attend this entire
conference, as well. Wangle an invitation and please come meet me in person.
-
- Make a difference! Get involved in spreading the truth
about America and the cabal that rules her. We cannot guarantee success,
but we can deserve it.

- New America. An idea whose time has come.
