VOTED FOR ME OR I'L KILL YOU

VOTE FOR ME OR I'LL KILL YOU VIDEO

Thank you Alan Dershowitz

“What a load of nonsense,” Schumer said as he addressed reporters. “By Dershowitz’s logic, President Nixon did nothing wrong in Watergate. He was just breaking into the [Democratic National Committee] to help his reelection, which of course in the public interest, according to Dershowitzian logic.”

“The Dershowitz argument frankly would unleash a monster, more aptly it would unleash a monarch,” Schumer added.

Video and music by Jerome and Denis Lefdup, lyrics and performance by Norman Spinrad

Originally part of HOME ON THE PAGE, video and live stage show, and a DVD back in the day. A little dated maybe, but Jerome has done a fabulous 3D remake and politics being how they have become right now, I just couldn't resist

           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...

THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN

        THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN                          Alternate Medicines and the Scientific Method                     by  Norman Spinrad           Written   over a decade ago as a proposal for a book that never got written  but all too pertinent  to the era of the coronavirus                     There are many medical systems on this planet, some of them ancient, some of them new, more of them that not based on metaphorical systems. Only “Western” or “alliopathic” medicine is based on rigorous science.  But many of the traditional non-western systems cure some conditions cure some conditions but not others. Many of these cures work in practice, but not in theory. That is they do work, but not for the reasons the theory behind them conte...

GAY OR STRAIGHT, MARRIED OR NOT, ALL COUPLES ARE MATES!

 GAY OR STRAIGHT, MARRIED OR NOT, ALL COUPLES ARE MATES!                                                        by Norman Spinrad  A while back,  Dona Sadock--my clumsily so-called “significant other”--and I  attended a traditional wedding where the “bride and groom,” a man and a woman costumed more or less like the traditional little statues on the traditional wedding cake, became “husband” and “wife.” Dona and I had been “significant others” decades ago, parted for decades and married other people, which is to say officially became “wives and husbands,” were both divorced from our respective spouses, and have now once more been eachother’s “significant others,” for over a decade. Awkwardly written paragraph, now isn’t it? What do you call a man and a woman who are and have long been living together as “husband” ...

GENERAL STRIKE a free novella for direct action purpose

AMERICAN GENERALS ON STRIKE AGAINST THE FOREVER WAR. This is not going to make economic sense for me.  GENERAL STRIKE is a 17,000 word novella that no magazine would dare publish and if you read it, you'll probably understand why, the very same reason why I self published it on Amazon, $7.00 for paperback, $5.00 because I believed it had to be read now.  Unsurprisingly, it hasn't exactly been a best seller. So I've just undercut myself and not only dropped the Amazon prices to $3.58 for the paperback, the lowest price Amazon allows and at which I get no royalty at all and $2.99 for the ebook which is also the Amazon minimum.  Not only that, I'm cutting even that by posting the whole novella on NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE for free. Why am I doing such a thing? Call it patriotism, call it direct action, call it putting my money where my mouth is, call it because I believe that current actions by Donald Trump re Iran among other things, make it  necessary.

Another one of  us is shortly to return to New York City and dreading the inevitable letdown.  The third Norman Spinrad is writing this and attempting to cool his ire enough to try to make analytic sense of our maddeningly disjunctive existential situation.     The Norman Spinrad who lived in Paris for over a de...
