War Crimes: What, Me Worry? ‘It’s Good to be the King’ C.I.A. torturers, killer cops & white supremacy By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2015 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America Despite a chorus of demands for criminal prosecution, it is unlikely that anyone among the plotters, justifiers, and executioners of war crimes during the reign of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney will ever see the inside of a courtroom—let alone prison bars. In the Potemkin democracy of America, fair-complexioned government élites are held no more accountable for sadismRead More
American Thugs The Few, the Proud, the Repugnant High time to clean out the pigpens By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America Be advised: the words that follow shall not be sweet. My heart is broken over what occurs in my city and country. I am troubled by the recent spate of deadly police violence in New York and elsewhere in the United States. I am white, and troubled by the ugly dimension of white racism in these crimes. Many Americans deny white racism.Read More
Ach du Scheiße! Welcome to Reaganistan Of Pugnacity & Pussycrats by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock New York City, near America Shocked to my bones by how colossally incorrect I was in forecasting victory for common sense over venality in the federal and state elections of Tuesday, November 4, I am at last able to creep forth from beneath the bedcovers and into the sun—finally to face up to you, dear readers. You, who undoubtedly took heart in my roseate essay of October 29, “Butt-Kicking Time.” Alas,Read More
Victory for the Filthy Rich Old fools lie, young suckers die …Meanwhile, the One Percent goes shopping By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock EAST GREENWICH, Rhode Island U.S.A. Here am I in a postcard-pretty small town on the Atlantic coast, a proudly historical place where every Wednesday evening the lads of the Kentish Guard gather in Peirce Street. There, they take up old-fashioned fifes and drums and play a medley of martial tunes, to the delight of passersby such as myself. The idea is to commemorate aRead More
Singing the U.S.A. Blues The ‘banality of injustice’ An echo of the Battle of The Bogside by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK,near America How striking are parallels between the small city of Ferguson, Missouri, in this August of 2014, and the small city of Derry, Northern Ireland, back in August of 1969. How similar the sorrows, how kindred the festering tribulations, how obscene the homicides. We may call the inevitable violence in Ferguson the same as a recent chapter of Northern Ireland’s bloody history: “TheRead More
MONTEBANKS & USEFUL IDIOTS (clockwise from top left): Bill Kristol, right-wing dunce and shill for the U.S. armaments industry; Paul Wolfowitz, architect of the disastrous (first) Iraq war and creepy personal hygienist; Paul Bremer, clueless envoy to Baghdad in 2003; ex-Vice President Dick ‘Shooter’ Cheney, famous for firing buckshot into a hunting companion’s face; Fox TV harridan and gubernatorial quitter Sarah Palin; a posse of ‘ammo-sexuals’ on the march in Texas, with sweethearts slung over their shoulders; bumbling cocktail lounge habitué and Republican Tea Party headman John Boehner. ‘Descent intoRead More
American Terrorists & Their Cheerleaders ‘If you’re white, you’re all right!’ by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK CITY, near America Had he shouted Black Power! or Allahu Akbar! from the caged backseat of a police cruiser, where he sat cuffed and shackled in the wake of three murders in mid-April outside a Jewish community center and retirement home in suburban Kansas City, the American people might have recognized that something must be done about Frazier Glenn Miller and people like him. As it was, theRead More
Impeach U.S. War Criminals …With help from Hollywood, via ‘Reality TV’ (Better late than never) by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK CITY, near America In Hollywoodspeak, the term “elevator pitch” refers to hasty conversation between Scriptwriter with a hot concept and Studio Executive physically trapped into listening during the minute or so it takes to get from one floor to another. Due to the time constraint, and the famously short attention span of the average studio exec, brevity is the soul of a sale. FromRead More
Off with Their Heads! Peewees pucker up for the billionaires by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NORTH CHATHAM, N.Y., in America Next Monday, the ring-kissing season of American right-wing presidential politics begins with a pilgrimage to Las Vegas by four little men in search of a Big Man’s golden benediction. After performing their songs and dances in the fleshpot and slot machine capital of Nevada, the minikins will go their separate ways and variously roam the land to shimmy for two others of the opulent set. Oh,Read More
News Flash! Rich get richer, poor get poorer By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock UNITED NATIONS, New York They are in every city and every village of the world: live bodies fallen to a field scattered with dead-ended souls. It hurts us to look at them, and so we have made them invisible. We are nimble in sidestepping these men and women and children with nowhere to go for the simplest of privacies. We hold our breath, discreetly, as we pass them by; we mean no offense,Read More
Bluto for President? by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near New Jersey Christopher James Christie, the bully-boy governor of New Jersey and potential Republican Tea Party presidential candidate built like a pink refrigerator that learned how to walk, is mired in a swamp of criminal suspicion that could land him in the Graybar Hotel for a number of years. Accordingly, Mr. Christie has retained a legendary Manhattan mouthpiece, about which I shall more to say herein. Prior to current scandals on the front pages ofRead More
DISGUST with the execrable U.S. House of Representatives, presided over by Republican Tea Party Congressman John Boehner, was caricatured in the New York Daily News cover page of October 1, 2013. The cynicism of Boehner-era Washington is likened to a bitter roman à clef—the popular television series “House of Cards.” ‘We won’t wait. We’ll do it now.’ Happy New Year! Exit the ‘Raw Deal’ in 2014 by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America According to my calendar, prognostications are in order for life inRead More
Who’s Afraid of a PAF? Dead End for the Red Bogeyman by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2014 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America Among the first card-carrying communists of my acquaintance was Arvo Kustaa Halberg—better known as Gus Hall, a name he was obliged to invent after being blacklisted from gainful employment due to his role in a bloody general strike by workers in Minneapolis during the spring and summer of 1934, a struggle that forced the city’s corporate establishment and its brutal police force to recognize labor unions.Read More
RED ALERT! Determined to summon the better angels of our nature, clockwise from top left: Bill de Blasio, alleged socialist as mayor-elect of New York City; Kshama Sawant, proudly socialist city councilwoman-elect of Seattle, by way of Mumbai; Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Christian trouble-maker, aka Pope Francis of Rome; Bernie Sanders, beloved socialist U.S. senator from Vermont, probable presidential candidate in 2016; Ty Moore, socialist trouble-maker of Minneapolis; and ‘Reverend Billy’ of the “Church of Stop Shopping.” Dangerous People At the vanguard of times a-changin’ in America by Thomas Adcock CopyrightRead More
THIS MAN is an unrepentant alcoholic crack-head from a family of drug dealers who has issued at least one death threat, knocked down a granny, and who consorts with the Toronto demimonde. Naturally, he seeks stardom in the world of “reality TV.” Amerikanische Schadenfreude? Toronto’s mayor is not an American—thank heavens Canada’s own Tea Party problem, eh? by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near Canada In the United States—home to so many of the world’s determinedly stupid and obnoxious public officials—we may now look northRead More
ACHTUNG, BIGOTS! Out-of-uniform Ku Klux Klan oafs unfurl the stars-and-bars flag of the Confederate States of America during a 1957 demonstration against racial integration of public schools in Nashville, Tennessee. So Leave, Already! The modern case for Southern secession By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock Seven score and four years ago, as Abraham Lincoln might say were he alive by some trick of time, the Confederate States of America was quashed in a nineteenth-century civil war that pitted the abolitionist, industrial North against an agrarian plutocracy ofRead More
The Racketeer & the Christian Taliban By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America In two hundred-plus years of national history, we Americans have not witnessed anything quite like the conjoining of two iniquitous forces now shadowing the United States. Their names are Ted Cruz, a freshman U.S. senator from the state of Texas whose father is a failed entrepreneur turned multi-millionaire religious grifter, and what should be properly called the American Christian Taliban. As the world saw during the past few weeks ofRead More
Another Day, Another Massacre Gun industry shills to America: ‘Ho-hum’ By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America Here’s what happened the other day to two motorists engaged in a tiff over traffic etiquette in a small town of the Middle West, a region of the United States that enjoys touting itself as chock full of dear hearts and gentle people: each man drew a pistol from his belt and commenced blasting. What might have been merely a pair of punched noses are instead twoRead More
Die Demokraten haben in ihrer Vorwahl klar für den linken Kandidaten Bill de Blasio gestimmt, er dürfte der nächste Bürgermeister werden. Und unser US-Amerikakorrespondent Thomas Adcock freut sich: Der amerikanische Liberalismus ist zurück in “Big Apple”. Left Turn in the Big Apple ‘Start Spreading the news…’ By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America A working-class Italian-American guy from Brooklyn—married for twenty years to an African American social activist, poet, former lesbian, and mother of the couple’s two teenagers—put his faith in the better angelsRead More
The Lone Ranger Rides Again ‘Heigh-ho the derry-o, the Cheese Stands Alone’ By Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock NEW YORK, near America As a young boy in Detroit, once a grand city and a programming pioneer at the dawn of television, I was enthralled by broadcasts via station WXYZ of a weekly show called “The Lone Ranger,” which is not to be confused with this summer’s Hollywood flop movie of the same title. In the TV version of my early youth—the series ran from 1949 to 1957—anRead More
‘MOTOWN’ THEN and NOW, clockwise from top left: John F. Kennedy, Democratic Party candidate for president, campaigns in Detroit on Labor Day 1960; Diana Ross (center) and The Supremes—Detroit girls who sang “Motown” to the world; Martin Luther King, Jr. (left) and labor leader Walter Reuther; a burned out house on Detroit’s west side; a neighborhood ablaze during the “race riot” of July 1967; Governor Rick Snyder, the venture capitalist who abolished democracy in all five of Michigan’s majority African American cities; an abandoned factory, somewhere in a thrown-away quarterRead More
NATIONAL SHAME (clockwise, from top left): Kimberly McCarthy, homicidal nurse sent “home to Jesus” on June 26 by the homicidal state of Texas; Rick Perry, the “Christian” governor of Texas, heir to a hunting club called “Niggerhead”; a lynched corpse in Alabama, circa 1930—a a frequent public display advising southern blacks to forget about voting; John Roberts, chief “justice” of the U.S. Supreme Court, ringleader of a judicial wrecking crew that eviscerated the Voting Rights Act of 1965—meant to guarantee voting rights for African Americans. ‘The Law is a Ass—aRead More
AMERICAN IDIOTS (clockwise, from top left): Louie Gohmert, hands-down dumbest member of Congress; Texas physician and Congressman Michael Burgess says male fetuses can masturbate; Michele Bachmann, contender for the presidency in 2012 is next-dumbest member of Congress; wigged & winded Donald Trump, fake billionaire and would-be hangman; pasty-faced Illinois Republican honcho Jim Allen says brown-skinned Miss America of 2003 is a “street walker”; Texas legislator Jodie Laubenberg says rape kits “clean out” zygotes. This Week’s Crazy Talk in the “Hew-Hess-Hay” By Thomas Adcock opyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock NEWRead More
LEAKERS & PROFITEERS (clockwise, from top left): Daniel Ellsberg, former military analyst, gave classified “Pentagon Papers” to the New York Times in 1971; Bradley Manning, imprisoned U.S. Army private, provided secret Iraq War documents to WikiLeaks in 2010; Edward J.

The F-Words „F**r“of F***ism by Thomas Adcock Copyright © 2013 – Thomas Adcock HUDSON, New York Back in the day, ordinary Americans feared less and questioned more. In that time, an unknown graffitist of Jeffersonian sensibility etched a wise epigram into the chunky wooden leg of a picnic table in People’s Park, the legendary free-speech venue adjacent to the Berkeley campus of the University of California. The year was 1969. When last I visited Berkeley, in 1997, the epigram was still there. Although faded, the lettering remained clear: “Open yourRead More
Thomas Adcock untersucht in seinem Essay den Unterschied zwischen „Evildoers“ und „Evildoers“, also zwischen Übeltätern und Übeltätern. Da gibt es schon welche … EVILDOERS & EVILDOERS. Clockwise, from top left: Tamerlan Tsarnaev, mastermind of the Boston Marathon bombings; gun monger Wayne LaPierre; Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, confessed terrorist; George W. Bush, public face of the Cheney administration; former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza “Mushroom Cloud” Rice; Halliburton honcho & former Vice President Dick Cheney.

STELLA'S VOICE
Stella Sinatras URknall
Stella liest. “Writers writing on writers“ – das klingt wie Dada, wie Gertrude Stein. Eliot Weinberger hat die Kategorie erfunden, oder gefunden, jedenfalls gibt es sie, yes, sagt Stella, yes yes. Julia Howe: „My voice formed from my life belongs to no one else.” Das Leben eines Avatars. Stella die Stimme, Stella die Pose – und nu? – Berühre mich, fordert D. Wie soll das genau gehen. Wo wir am Ende alle, etc. – Try-out. Stella die vorgeschickt wird. Die sucht und findet: die innere Leere. So still wie die Stille hinter den Geräuschen, die irgendetwas mit dem Weltall zu tun hat (vermutet Stella).
