           ELECT YOUR PEOPLE'S POLICE                            by Norman Spinrad If something isn't done, and done fast, a civil war in the United States is just a shot or a Molotov Cocktail away. But how and by who?   If there is one American who could stand up before the protesters and be listened to it is surely the one and only former President of the United States, Barack Obama. Live before the largest crowd possible and of course well televised.  What should he say? He should speak the hard truth to the leaderless protesters that what they are doing is counterproductive to their own confusion of diverse and general causes which if even possible would take decades of legislation to accomplish. What is needed  immediately is a strong significant and reachable demand. Demand that the head of all police departments in the United States--cities, towns, st...

BUG JACK BARRON SCREENPLAY NOW ONLY $3.00

I'm still offering my original screenplay for BUG JACK BARRON, called “One of the 100 greatest films never made,”  on Amazon after 4 decades, but I'm now reducing the price to $3.00 because the important thing for me is to have this screenplay widely read. BUG JACK BARRON Original Screenplay for $3.00! This is the orginal screenplay adaptation of BUG JACK BARRON I wrote way back in the 1970s under an indie option which never got picked up.  Several options later, BUG JACK BARRON, the novel, was optioned by one Gary Weis, who sold the option to Universal. With the option running out, Universal exercised it, that is, bought the rights to make the film, for Costa Gavras, with a screenplay by Harlan Ellison.  For whatever reasons, they didn’t like the Ellison screenplay, or several others, including this one.  Costa Gavras fell out of the project, and the film has yet to be made, though many, many directors, and producers have tried to get the the rights from U...

 I am often asked for bibliographic and personal details dating  in both English and French.  I do appreciate being asked for such details by critics, journalists, readers, and so forth.  How could I not?  But I don't know the answers myself often, and even when I do, as every writer and so forth will admit, it gets dreary to have to give the same answers to the same questions over and over again.  Believe me the Wikipedias remember more about me than I do myself and they are honest and neutral, if not 100% accurate.       So here they are directly.    And a direct link to all the YouTube videos I've done all by myself--songs, comedy, politics, phony ads, reportage, all lined up with a single direct click.

As we all know, fuck, shit, piss, and cunt are the rock bottom basic “dirty words.” Neither the New York Times nor any other establishment publication will print them.  They may not be uttered on broadcast television...

THE FRENCH EXCEPTION (English)et L'EXCEPTION FRANÇAISE ( Francaise)

This is a kind of  love letter to France, my original English text of an article commissioned in 1998 by the French national newspaper LE MONDE and a rough French translation done with Google because I couldn’t find LE MONDE’S French translation anywhere on the Internet.   (Update: meilleur traduction francais --merci a Alain Gresh I’m putting it online on the occasion of my impending 6 weeks or so in France because it’s been causing me to reflect on what my 14 years living in France has meant to me and still does during my largely unwilling return to New York. What I wrote in LE MONDE in 1998 is personally even truer for me now that it was then.  Since then, I’ve done appearances for the French Foreign Service in New Caldonia and Mexico, received a Career Achievement Award at the Utopiales festival in Nantes from the hands of  Jean-Marc Ayrault, then the mayor of Nantes, now Prime Minister of France.  I’ve had a hand in getting the prison diary ...

JIHADHIS--THEY PLAY THE GAME, GIVE THEM THE NAME

                 JIHADIS--THEY PLAY THE GAME, GIVE THEM THE NAME                             It's World War III, and we are in it.        Al Qaida in Pakistan, Al Qaida in the Mahgreb, Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the Taliban, whoever, wherever, these groups and franchises operate, they're called "militants," in government lingo, in newspaper, news sites, and TV news, they're called "militants."         But "militant" denotes a level of passion, dedication, and ruthlessness, not even a tactic as "terrorist" at least does, and that doesn't begin to describe what they real are.  They they call themselves "jihadhis" and proud of it and that's what they really are.            All these terrorist groups, wherever they are, whatever their tactics, have a coherent and focused ideological goal-...
