• Rudolf Gelbard

Rudolf Gelbard is a walking encyclopedia of recent Austrian political history. He did not have a chance to study in his youth, due to internment in Theresienstadt Concentration Camp. In spite of his lack of “formal ” academic education, Gelbard is a scholar who has gathered valuable political information on fascism and anti-Semitism.. That is why my wife Irmgard and I recommended him for the honorary title of Professor. Numerous prizes followed.

Indeed Gelbard is consulted on historical matters, but so far Gelbard he has not been designated as official salaried historical consultant.

Gelbard’s apartment is a treasure trove of books, journals and papers on the subject, which are not archived or ordered. The true description of the premises, which I have not personally viewed, is helter-skelter.

I suggest that the Socialist Party send five or six students to archive this valuable historical material. It must be properly collected and preserved for posterity.

• Peter Lhotzky

For years Peter Lhotzky has been writing short biographies of men and women of integrity of the Twenties, Thirties and Forties of the last century, who were Socialists. Lhotzky has diligently published this material in internet and distributed it to hisf riends

These admirable man and women of were mostly just plain folks who fought against National Socialism and helped those who needed help.

And guess who is NOT publishing these biographies? That’s right, the Austrian Socialist Party.

Hermann Nitsch: “I could well envision that murder could be a component of a work of art; the artist’s accountability would be on another level….Thus, art can consist of a crime.” Killing was and is beyond all moral judgments.”

Here is a segment of the Partitur of “The Orgies Mystery Theater”: “A 7-year old boy is nailed to the wall as if crucified. His head is beaten and shattered with rectangular stones, his bloody brains come out. The bloody brain is rinsed and washed with lukewarm sugar-water.”

Hermann Nitsch: „Ich könnte mir vorstellen, daß ein Mord Bestandteil eines Kunstwerks ist, daß aber jetzt eine andere Verantwortungsebene an den Mörder herantritt (…) Also: Kunst kann auch ein Verbrechen sein, sagen wir so. Das Töten war und ist außerhalb des ethischen Urteils.”

Hier ein Zitat aus der Nitsch Partitur: „Ein 7-jähriger Knabe wird wie gekreuzigt an die Wand genagelt. Sein Kopf wird mit quadratischen Steinen zerschlagen und zerschmettert, blutiges Gehirn tritt aus. Das blutige Hirn wird mit lauem Zuckerwasser gewaschen und gespült.”

„Wer keine Kenntnis von der Bedeutung des Rituals und der Körperlichkeit in der Kunst hat und auch nicht den Willen, etwas davon verstehen zu wollen, für den ist auch die Verwendung religiöser Gegenstände nicht mehr als Sudelei und die willentliche Verletzung religiöser Gefühle.”
- Dr. Rudolf Scholten, Kunstminister a.D.

Mehr aus der Partitur: „…leichen von zweijährigen, einjährigen und neugeborenen kindern werden in den raum gebracht, die haare werden von den köpfen der kinderleichen gerissen, die lippen und die geschlechtsteile der toten kinder werden zerfleischt. Die brustkörbe der kleinen leichen werden geöffnet, die blutig-feuchten gedärme werden herausgerissen, fleischstücke werden von den toten kindern gerisssen. hände und füße werden aus ihren gelenken gerissen. Leichenteile der toten kinder werden im raum herumgeworfen….”

Hier „Körperlichkeit”: „die nackte leiche eines neunjährigen mädchens wird auf eine kirchenbank gelegt; das geschlechtsteil des mädchens wird aufgeklafft; mit einer silbersonde wird mehrmals tief hineingestochen; das geschlechtsteil wird mit einem skalpell zerfleischt; zuckerwasser wird auf die blutige wunde geschüttet; nummer O saugt und schleckt das gezuckerte blut von dem zerfleischten geschlechtsteil.”

Nitsch: „Ich will meiner Arbeit kein humanes Korsette mehr anlegen.”

„Würde ihre Tochter nackt als elfjähriges Mädchen auf einer Bühne stehen, ihr Schädel kahlgeschoren und unter der Anleitung des Herrn Nitsch in ihren Geschlechtsteilen herumgebohrt werden’ möchte sie wissen, ob Sie dann noch von ‚Freiheit der Kunst’ sprechen.”
- Lore Jarosch, Autorin

„Mühl ist spezialisiert auf Minderjährige und Sex und ich bin spezialisiert auf qualvolles Martern von Viechern.”
- Hermann Nitsch

„Nitsch ist ein Sadist, ein geltungssüchtiger, autistischer Psychopathensäufer, er ist ganz narzisstisch, ein zu kurz gekommenes Muttersöhnchen. Rainer ist ein echter Schläger und Sadist. Nitsch quält dafür Leute bei seinen Aktionen, sie frieren immer. Er richtet das so ein. Ich hätte gern gewußt, wie viele da krank geworden sind, wie viele Lungenentzündung gehabt haben und wie viele gestorben sind”.

or A Bit of Truth and a Lot of Lies.

In 1934, Hitler had the SS eliminate Emst Roehm and his SA minions. Roehm was a fellow-Nazi but Hitler’s rival. It often happens that men with the same or similar points of view oppose each other, not due to ideological reasons, but for the sake of achieving or maintaining power.

It is essential to know what one favors as well as what one opposes.

The “Non-Aggression Pact” between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, which was signed in the summer of 1939, was a misnomer. It was a military pact directed against Poland.

In September of ‘39, before invading Poland, Hitler gave orders to dress some concentration camp inmates in Polish uniforms and then have them shot on German territory. He did not want the invasion to appear unprovoked, and thus before embarking on it, he made a transparent attempt to justify it to the world.

The worst of men attempt to keep up appearances and maintain a sense of propriety.

Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west and the Soviet Union invaded from the east.

• “Everything is worthy of presentation….That includes rape and murder (1). Coitus, torture and the annihilation of man and beast is the only drama worth viewing…..Murder is an integral part of sex. House pets have to serve as surrogates. I intend to commit the perfect murder on a goat that will serve as a substitute for a woman(2). In my next films humans will be slaughtered. Slaughtering humans must not continue to be a monopoly of the state…. It will soon become an ethical necessity to rob banks and to shoot a random cripple down (3). Direct art also demands the blood toll to which it is entitled!” (4)

• Bruno Kreisky extols Otto Mühl: “…my friend the great painter, perhaps the best we have in Austria (5). He went through a great and intense development as a human being, and he as a matter of fact, brought new humane qualities to the life of the community.”(6)  Kreisky concerning the AAO Commune: “From a liberal point of view, we have no choice but to let these young people go their way (7). We must offer this experiment protection against being attacked by the press, above all by German papers.”(8)

• Herbert Kuhner: From Violence under the Guise of Art or Third Reich Recycling

In 1977 Valie Export was brought to trial for having engaged in cruelty to animals and found guilty of having tied a canary to a perch. However the scalding of the birds with boiling wax, which had been filmed, came under the statute of limitations. This “art object” was on view as part of the Export Exhibition in the Museum of the Twentieth Century in Vienna in March of 1997. On March 17, 1997, in Treffpunkt Kultur, a program devoted to culture on ORF, Austrian State TV, films by Export were broadcast. In one scene Export uses a bloody kitchen knife to slice the neck of a turtle, a mouse and a parrot, but the actual decapitations are deleted by film cutting.Valie Export “herself”: “A bird is tied to a rostrum with thin cord. I kneel in front of the bird on the rostrum and pour hot liquid wax on it. Then I pour wax on my feet and my left hand; the wax container is knocked over and the bird’s head is covered with wax. I free myself by cutting the cord with a knife which I lifted from the rostrum with my mouth and use it. The rostrum is encircled by nails.”

Here’s an except from an article in News, August, 30, 2007 titled
“Yes, we wanted to kill!”
Three Styrian youths planned to murder a woman. They wanted to hear death cries, so they set bird chicks on fire. Nineteen-year-old Karlheinz recalls that Daniel told him how “terrific” it is to kill animals. “We got right down to it.” says Daniel, “I took a cigarette lighter and tried to set the animals alight, but they didn’t burn very well. So I went to a garbage bin and took some newspaper.” The fifteen-year-old placed it under the nest and set it alight. “There was a small firework. Three chicks burned to ash, but two were still alive. “We tossed one up and kicked it with our feet. We took the other and placed it on the sidewalk.” Then Daniel and Karlheinz took sharp stones and alternated in hitting the bird until its head was severed. “After that, we took photos of the dead bird with our cell phones.

During the Third Reich children were taught to kill birds
in a camp called Kinderland,
which translates as “Children’s Land.”

After Valie Export was invited to submit a design for the monument on Judenplatz some years ago, she had thoughts about the Holocaust. “Not directly or for a specific reason, as happened when I was invited to participate in the competition.” She didn’t win that one, but on August 28, 1999, her anti-fascistic monument in Allentsteig, Lower Austria, was unveiled. She may be able to contribute a valid analysis since violence plays a primary role in her work.

In the spring of 1995, an official Austrian exhibit commemorating prominent Austrians who were forced to emigrate was shown at 565 Fifth Avenue in New York. The organizer of the exhibit and co-editor of the accompanying book, The Cultural Exodus from Vienna is Peter Weibel, who is also co-editor of the previously-mentioned Wien. Among the highlights of the latter scholarly work are photos of co-editor Export engaging in fellatio with Weibel. Here’s a quote from the horse’s mouth: “When Valie Export is sucking my cock, one can see it.”

Otto Mühl’s Credo:
“The Friedrichshof Lord’s Prayer
Long live the whole!
I must resist temptation to sin against the whole
in sex as well as with my belongings
and in thought and deed.
Everything must be for the good of the whole.
I will terminate the program
that has been impressed on me
by strange ethical persons
and transform it into a social program
for the good of the whole.
I think, work, act and feel
exclusively for the whole.
Without the whole I am nothing.”(1)

Roman Polanski
The Pedophile’s Credo:
“Judges want to fuck young girls.
Juries want to fuck young girls.
Everyone wants to fuck young girls!”
- Martin Amis in Tatler and “Visiting Mrs Nabokov,” 1979.

(Right you are but wrong you are, Mr. Polanski.
Not every pedophile has his sights on young girls.)

In these days when superficial apologies by celebrities for indiscretions abound, Otto Mühl and Pope Benedict XVI apologized concurrently on June 11, 2010.

And as a gesture of good will two pedophile priests were reinstated in the Austrian Province of Styria by Bishop Egon Kapellari on the preceding day. (2)
