sorry, typed out VERY hurriedly..
“mu fellow mutants”, said Eric,
“and you are my fellow mutants, or my “comrades”, if you're
from Russia – oh, yes, that is perhaps an ill chosen term. I don't
want to bring Stalinist allusions into it, even though I know some of
you Russians know him still as “uncle joe” and quite right you
are in doing so.. Hitler and Stalin.. figures outside the bounds of
reality- beings of the metaphysical they may be.. I've read John
Tolan'ds rather sympathetci birograhy of hitler. I didn't find
myself offended by events such as thte scene of his grave mourning
for hismother and of his showing gratitude toward the Jewish doctro
who cared for her.. I'm gettting ahead of myself.. I'm a Holocaust
survivor.. and I've read Nietzsche, who was written sentiments which
would find themselves welcome among the Nazi colloquial.. what was I
going to say about Nietzsche .. nietzsche, yes, Nietzsche wrote
abou't. The simple prhase: :man and world” and of all the
pres\umptoin onthat word :and: .. What I mean is, yyou have to be
evil to be a Holocaust suvivor.. surviving is.. evil.. Man and the
Holocaust, the simple, devastating presu\ption of that word :and: ..
I could identify with the Hitler of John Toland's biography, even
with some inocent amuseent, over seemingly frivolous minutia of
Hitler's personality his willingness to sign a pile of autographs, a
pile of blank paper given to him by a young boy, his response being,
with a wry smile, “You don't give up either, I see”.. The
children and Hitler, the children to whom he was a father-fiu\r.. Am
I a Hitler, I ask myself?... I see many-children among yuo..
Chirldren whom I'm calling to – a war:, he didn't speak those last
two words: “ a war”; he thought them.. HE couldn' say the words.
Not of children.
HE went on. “I .. we.. . have
been given a prosthetic limb which is a superpower... we have been
given an image of ourselves 0 an image that is a being with a
superpower, before which we exist perhaps ina state of trance: “Is
this a dagger I see before me?”.. “or merely the prduct ofa
heat-opressed mind?” The mutant-power is aphantom part of
yourself' it is athe toplogical shape by which 3=4. You rrepresent a
form of mathematics which can only be calle- “uncanny” “
Daniel Day Lewis Magneto eric magnus:
Magneto knew he was talking to many autistic people, many people
with mental handicaps, who'd developed a mutant power,.. a prosthetic
part of their personality, to compensate. Was he, Erik, himself as
one of ht mentally handicapped had the holocaust, handicapped his
mind, caused it to seek and recognize symbols of itself, of the the
holocaust in all areas oreos of the environmeetn.. .. eugenics, the
holocuast.. hollymadison..hollywood.. hollywood holocuast.. the
eugenics agendy in modern tiems.. charlie chaplin.. was it something
to takenote of: or was it just a lunacy facotr of society. Society:
his throug felt like vomiting athat word. The Holocaust. Soceity.
“The Holocaust Society”.
What could he explint o trusting
children when he had only speculations to go upon. The prisons. The
mafia prison for children, according to the often misquoted
journalist steve eriksson, in his articles misquoted in his articles,
but this was no misquote. 1 out of every 100 Americans was i prison-
so had one report concluded, one statistical study. Had some silent
invasion occurred to bring about thsi social condition. An invasion
which had begin 9/11. Firestarter, by Stephan King. Gregory Peck
George E. Martin.. no .. gregory.. no George C. Fields.. no..
Patton.. ahH.. Patton.. Firestarter was Patton.. george orwell.. ahH
that was the guy..
“spectres of mars”- he'd read
some of Derrrida's work on the topic of specters. And was he now,
Magneto, a specter of the holocaust. What vision was he bringin to
all these mutant-children. The imge of a destroye man? But your a
mannnn? They pleaded.. of a man who would return again and again
heidegger recurrance of the eternal same again and again like
Derrida's King Hamlet specter and each time reaching some moon-pahse
of palpable substance by.. ..His reappearance.. b the accrued prpf
proff prroof proof of his reappearances.. proof that there was mre
underlying his foundations than the foundationsof a specter,
foundatoins that :beetle o'er the bae:.. foudations to himself..
that's wwhat he would be recurrently trying to prove to the children.
to- his followers? Children wo'uld be his followers to war? And he
would e the King Hamle of this war- who would suffer afterwards for
crimes dones in his days of nature. ?Loke being a leader to
children, proclaining oneself a leader. What was the other
alternative self-proclamatiojn. That he would be a W”protector”
of the mutant-children. That he would protect them from a war againt
mutantkind, ina way that Xavier Savier never narver priest could?
Naver to nave to naver.. The Hoocaust. The great rat unbridgeable
divide between him and Xavier, like the gu\lfe betwen Heaen and Hell.
Metnioned in the rich man and lazarus the poor man's christ
parable.. the rich man and lazarus.. were friends friends.. friends..
why didn't lazarus help him.. xavier was lazarus.. and magneto eric
magnus.. was.. the rich man.. who ate well but was emaciated becau\se
he was on drugs/// they had herbs back then..they had medicine.. TAKE
YOUR MEDICINE.. TAKE YOUR MEDICINE YOU LITTLE BRAT.... little magnus
little mavis: brat.. heehee hee.. father: ahh, just kidding...
Fragments, merely fragments, and symbolical, almst allegorical,
fragmetns of the holocaust, cam to e Eric.. symbols, could a man lead
by symbosl, sybols which lead him, like the specter ofKngHAmlet.
:wither wilthou lead me: .. “ii'l go
no furhte” father further furhte fuhrer future.. furhte...
His last words to Xavier had been
cold?: “ou will remember me as the man who stoppped youw”.
Methodical. Like a methodist. Tactical.. like an axe murderer
methodist.. with the cross-beraing patience of the solider, the
tactiacal patience which ahd cause the death of Xavier's lover.. her
drug capitations..her drug capitulation.. a capulet.. a romeo.. a
naked juliet..
Savier had shown no indicatoni
whasoeever tha eh blamed erik for her death.. Erik co'uld not trust
himsefl to h'ave taken the ame attitude in Savier's place.
He went on with his speech. Ian
Mckellan: “Hitler was a man who suymboiized “:not giving up' Is
that what I seem to be bringing to yo. To usehr ina revolutionary
:htierl outh: IS that what i am? I'm asking mself that questino
rhgt now as I peak to you.. as ?I talk like ameanering..hobo..
awanderer.. I have a duaahger whos a wanderer “wandering naked
nude wanda”.. what's what we call her.. Would you consent to be led
by a hobo like me.. After all, I'm not a ragmuffin for notherin”..
then he lagun laughed , a lagun laugh of reassurance ment to himelf,
a momentray rest for his soul..
