Yes, "Leni has talked to psychiatrists, she knows about the
German male at puberty. On their backs in the meadows and
mountains, watching the sky, masturbating, yearning. Destiny
waits...Destiny...Destiny...Let him look for flight out at
the Raketenflugplatz, where he goes to be used by the
military and the cartels. Let him fly to the dead moon if he
wants to...."
Pre-Hitler German History, "a Dynastic succession"
154 "old second Reich"
154 ""death wish, rocket mysticism--Franz is just the type
they want
just a note here while it comes to me: I thank for that post
on the Black power Olympian fist.
[154 "Die Faust Hoch" (who knows?, but Weisneburger suggests
that this could be an allusion to the American radicals--and
especially dissident blacks--of the sixties,). Why would
Weisenburger think this? As I noted during our GRGR, the
fire hoses, the "crowd hydrodynamics" the "Leftists and
Jews" (GR.399-401) again, as you noted also, the Jews and
Leftists hung on the hooks of the city slaughterhouses in
Stettin" is a history, facts, but these also call up
memories, or Prairie reels turning, ghosts, bruised and
battered, Jews buried in the bogs of Mississippi,
Revolutionaries bludgeoned by police, black children sliding
along the cobblestones of Harlem nights while German
shepherds gnaw their brothers in arms on the docks of
Detroit's dying democracies.]
