What follows is a timeline of events that have transpired since I published The Rise of The New Normal Reich: Consent Factory Essays, Vol. III (2020-2021), over four years ago. Four years. It’s hard to believe, sometimes, that the German authorities have been at this for four years. And it’s not over yet. I’m scheduled… Read More My Life as a Thought Criminal
So it’s been ten years since I started writing these essays. I don’t know how many I’ve written at this point, probably over two hundred. I’m not going to count. I started out publishing them on my blog, Consent Factory, and submitting them to CounterPunch back in 2016. Since then, they’ve been published (with and… Read More Situation Report
Chalk another one up for the ethno-nationalists! That’s right, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, the Alternativ für Deutschland party (AfD) won an election last Sunday in Saxony-Anhalt, one of Germany’s sixteen federal states. They won it convincingly, overwhelmingly, despite (or maybe due to) the fact that the establishment parties have been maintaining a… Read More The Enemy of My Enemy
I’m beginning to think something is wrong with my memory. It’s strange, the feeling. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s not like I have amnesia or anything. I remember who I am, I think. And I remember things that happened in the past, but I don’t think I remember them the way they… Read More The Memory Hole
So I have been indicted by the Berlin District Prosecutor for authoring, publishing, and advertising a book. I’m not joking. The District Prosecutor is actually going to prosecute me again, this time for the crime of publishing a book. My lawyer received the indictment today. Now, let me be clear, because this gets kind of… Read More A Communiqué from an Author of Harmful and Undesirable Literature
So I’ve got some good news and some bad news. I’ll give you that news in just a minute, but, first, I need to do a recap for any readers just now tuning in. Regular readers, please bear with me, or just skip down to below the Spiegel image, because a bit of repetition follows.… Read More The Rise of the New Normal Reich (Redux)
So the German Supreme Court has ruled on my case. Their ruling is that they will not rule on my case. They sent my attorney a letter to that effect. It literally says: “The constitutional complaint will not be accepted for a ruling. No explanation is provided. This ruling is incontestable.” So I am now… Read More How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the New Normal Reich
So I was going to write a column about a recent column Chris Hedges wrote about Delaney Hall, a private prison in New Jersey, operated by The GEO Group, Inc. under contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a subsidiary department of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which is currently being operated as a… Read More The Enemy Within
So I tried to write a column about dog rape. I couldn’t do it. Despite my fear of losing the last of my Substack subscribers, going broke, getting evicted from my apartment, and moving in next to the homeless guy who lives outside the doorway of the grocery store across the street, I could not… Read More The Beast
OK, here’s the first chapter of Strangers in a Strange Homeland, the USA road-trip book, which will be published by Arcade Publishing later this year, hopefully. I don’t usually publish drafts of work in progress, but, as my regular readers know, I’ve been more or less totally out of commission for the last four months… Read More The Map is Not the Territory
