There were fewer than half a million Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. There are a million and a half Palestinians in the Gaza ghetto. Jews in the Warsaw ghetto resisted the Nazi occupation with whatever crude weapons they had. A few Germans were killed or wounded but it wasn't a fair fight. Palestinians are resisting the Israeli occupation. A few Jews have been killed or wounded but it's not a fair fight. Here are some excerpts from Chapter Forty-two of Oprah's Dead Son:

"...Things didn't work out for The Third Reich and handy-dandy, Jews got to be God's chosen people again. Jews got given the State of Israel because of all the wrong that got done to them by Hitler and the Nazis, the same way Hitler and the Nazis got given Germany on account of all the wrong that got done to Germans after the First World War. Jews can do no wrong on account of all the wrong that got done to them. The State of Israel can get away with murder the same way Nazis got away with murder. Turnabout is fair play. To the victors go the spoils. Might makes right. Because of the Holocaust, Israel doesn't have to abide by international law, the same way Hitler didn't have to abide by international law after the Treaty of Versailles. The Israeli Defense Force can attack and occupy any territory it wants to attack and occupy. UN resolutions have no effect on the State of Israel. Israel can kill and maim and kidnap anyone it wants to kill and maim and kidnap. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been routinely tortured in Israeli jails for decades but let one lonely nineteen-year-old Jewish soldier take a wrong turn in Gaza and all holy hell breaks loose—and that's just for starters..." "...Who's more likely to nuke its neighbors? Iran? A country with no nuclear weapons who's a party in good standing to a global nonproliferation treaty? Or Israel? A country with close to four hundred nuclear warheads mounted on cruise missiles in submarines that can be launched in a matter of minutes against any other country in the world, a country with a paranoid-schizophrenic penchant for unprovoked attacks on other sovereign nations, a country that's not only not a party to a nonproliferation treaty but doesn't admit it has any nuclear weapons, period? What kind of big fat lie is that..." "...Jews are a hundred times more likely to be billionaires than anyone else 'cause everyone else in the world is terrified of Jews. The last thing you ever want to do is piss off a Jew. Why? Whoa, let me count the ways. First, Jews are in charge of propaganda for the multinational Nazi conglomerates that have all the money in the world, second, the State of Israel has more nuclear weapons than China, India, Pakistan and the UK put together and third, the United States will protect and defend Israel at all costs against all enemies forever because no politician can get elected in America without the support of Jews and guys who kiss up to Jews in the media and entertainment monopoly. If you piss off a Jew nobody will ever hear a word you have to say—you'll be blackballed, blacklisted, despised, rejected, demonized, ignored, intimidated—and if you piss of Israel you'll get nuked. It's a stacked deck..." "...A handful of Holocaust survivors and their offspring, with the all-pervasive media and entertainment monopoly on their side, are holding the whole world hostage. What should we be more worried about, Israeli cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads being launched against the United States or Iran maybe enriching enough uranium to blow some Ayatollah's nose someday? The morons in media and entertainment will tell you it's the Ayatollah's nose we have to worry about. How absurd is that? You tell me. Those are the kinds of questions you can ask 'til the cows come home and not only will you never get an answer but nobody will ever even get to hear the question. Hitler and The Holocaust created a monster that's gonna give birth to a monster a thousand times worse than Hitler and the Holocaust ever were..." "...Israel's nuclear arsenal has been around since 1968. Every little community of ten thousand people in the State of Israel has its own personal nuclear weapon. There are sixty-five million people in Iran and the whole country doesn't have any nuclear weapons at all. Israel has unilaterally bombed other countries. Iran hasn't. Those are facts. One out of every four hundred people in the world is Jewish and one out of every three billionaires is a Jew. True or false? True..." "...The land of the free and the home of the brave has been ceded to a handful of Jews and guys who kiss up to Jews in media and entertainment who gear everything that gets into anyone's brain toward two overriding objectives, making money for corporate Nazis and protecting and defending the State of Israel to the last breath of life on earth—whatever it takes, however many trillions of dollars, however much innocent blood, there's nothing more important than making money and keeping Israel safe..." "...There wasn't much Israel and the United States liked better than Iran and Iraq killing and maiming each other to the tune of however many million people it was during the Iran-Iraq war. The more Muslims that kill each other, the fewer Muslims we're going to have to kill in order for Israel to be secure and live in peace. As long there are any self-respecting Muslims left in the Middle East, Israel's never gonna be secure. Nobody in Israel even wants to live in peace. What would there be to kvetch about? It's hard to play the hapless victim when you're pound-for-pound the most powerful nation on the planet. We've hitched our star to a tribe of crazy people.." "...The global Nazi oligarchy's gonna come out smelling like a rose no matter who wins or loses in the Middle East or anywhere else. Jews and guys who kiss up to Jews in the media and entertainment monopoly know how to perpetuate conflict, how to turn it into sizzle, how to sell it, how to capitalize on it. What progress has peace in the Middle East made in sixty years? None. Israel doesn't want an end to hostilities on any terms but its own and its terms are that as long as there's a single Islamic martyr willing to kill himself or herself in order to hurt a single Jew there's not gonna be an end to hostilities. Hostilities make money. There's always gonna be a quibble, a nuance, another nutty little Netanyahu nit to pick. Who's gonna solve that? The bottom line is that Israeli Jews and Arab Muslims don't hit it off, period, and it serves the purposes of media and entertainment to see to it that they never do. I suppose that's anti-Semitic, too..." "...If I'd lived in Nazi Germany, Hitler would've pissed me off. I would've tried to piss him off back. I may have ended up in Dachau but I'd way rather have been in Dachau than goose-stepping around with a swastika on my arm, swallowing Nazi schmaltz all day every day. Where I'm living now is in Nazi America, and it's guys like Si Newhouse and Sumner Redstone and Michael Bloomberg and David Geffen and Stephen Spielberg and Arthur Sulzberger and Jeff Berg and their lawyers and publicists and the army of politicians, college professors and think tank dweebs they own and operate who piss me off. They've got the whole world gagging on worthless, moneygrubbing Nazi schmaltz and drowning in mindless, thoughtless, criminally insane corporate-Nazi horseshit..."

Here's Ginny Good in its entirety. It's free, like me. G.

Hi Gerard, We know how hard it is to get anything you care about through the clutter of Hollywood. We create ourselves and face the same demons and angels. If you are patient we would be willing to read Ginny Good. If you would like to have Laura forward us a copy of your book - we'll give it some real thought. Regards, pen

Hey, Pen and John, I'm the epitome of patience. Give me an address and I'll gladly send you both a signed copy...or if you for some reason have to get it from Laura or Paul Cohen, the publisher, send either or both of them an e-mail. I've cc'd them, so just do "reply to all" on this e-mail and they'll get it and send you copies. They can't sign it, though. Well, not with my name, anyway...but Paul will include a cute little promo package. Take your total time. Thanks. G.

Gerard, Hi. Alex here from Trilogy. Below, please find our mailing address, Best, Alex

Hey, Alex, I'll send a super special signed collectible copy out tomorrow. Thanks. G.

Hi Gerard, Alex Daltas here from Trilogy Entertainment Group. I wanted to let you know we've been busy but haven't forgotten about the submission; I read your novel over the holidays and enjoyed it. I'm sharing my thoughts with others here, and will be following up. Best regards, and a happy new year to you, Alex

Hey, Alex, thanks for letting me know. GG just got stuck on a list of the best books of 2004. It was only ninth best in the world but I think that was 'cause they called it nonfiction and it had to compete with Dylan and Alexander the Great. If they would've called it fiction it would've been first best. Here's the list:

http://januarymagazine.com/features/bestof04nonfiction.html

Glad you liked it. G.

Hi Gerard. Thanks for your patience... Unfortunately we are going to pass on 'Ginny Good'. Nothing against its integrity. We think it's a very entertaining and earnest piece. However, it just isn't sitting with the company's sensibilities at the moment. Thanks again for your interest in Trilogy for this. Regards, Alex Daltas

Ah, company sensibilities, yes, among my favorite things. Thanks for taking a look. G.

***Redacted***

Dear Ms. Bishop: I know you're just doing your job and forgive you for spelling my name rong, but if you had read my correspondence before you destroyed it and stomped on it and deleted it from your system you would have realized that I was simply telling you about a book you can either read and make a movie out of or not. It's in libraries. It's in bookstores. It's no secret "creative idea."

The principals of Lucasfilm Ltd. may have come to points in their creative lives when they're ready to put away childish things and apply their considerable talents and resources to the making of something besides mere entertainment. If so, Ginny Good will be an exquisite vehicle; if not, hey, people can always use a little more mere entertainment and it does make money, after all, yes.

Oh, and as for not submitting unsolicited material, I don't get that, no. You advertise your "product," right? So do I. Big whoop. You think I solicit correspondence about "Star Wars" memorabilia nine thousand times a day? I don't...but I get it all the same. Your advertising budget might be a bit bigger than mine, but it's the same principle. You stop advertising your stuff and I'll stop advertising mine. How about that? Thanks. G.

***Redacted***

Dear Nora: I know all about long-standing policies and they're not confined stictly to Lucasfilm, Ltd. I'm realizing my own creative ideas, however, and some of those ideas include ragging on people and companies who and which have replaced art and literature and independence and all the rest of the best things in life with the singleminded, shortsighted, exclusive love of money. Antipiracy, indeed. I'm not very influential, though (well, not yet, anyway), so I wouldn't pay me much mind. You might tell George Lucas that he could expand his "creative ideas" an order of magnitude or two by listening to GG as the free .mp3 files I've stuck up on my free website:

The Way the System Works at The Weinstein Company:

Dear Gerard, I am an assistant for the Business and Legal Department at The Weinstein Company, and I would love for you to do me a favor, which in turn will actually benefit you. Here's the situation...on your website (btw - rather impressive), you have several e-mail addresses of the employees here as contact for writers with submissions. However, due to legalities, none of us can accept unsolicited submissions. So what ends up happening is that I have to send a letter kindly stating so to each and every writer.

I've always been a cheerleader for the writer, and it breaks my heart to send letters that can cause a writer to become frustrated and discouraged by my having to act like a brick wall. So perhaps you could please remove the employees' names from your site, and instead list the names of known writer representatives (agents, managers and attorneys), as those are generally people from whom we can accept submissions. This way, you could save aspiring writers from expending time and energy on what amounts to a dead-end tactic to get their work noticed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me. Warmest regards...

I've got all the agents and managers on my site, as well, and nobody looks at anything, period, so I don't see any harm in leaving you guys on my little list. Hollywood is run, as far as I can tell, mostly by serendipity and money. Something might strike the right producer, editor, actor, director, agent, manager, assistant in the legal department, secretary, mail room guy, etc. at the right time and voila. Basically you guys are who you are and do what you do and that information is readily available on the Internet so I stuck it in my little directory.

Yours is by far the nicest letter I've ever gotten asking to be removed from my little list (and I've gotten LOTS), but I can't. The best I can do is put up your description of the way things are and hope that discourages people from sending you what you don't want to get. Thanks. G.

Oh, go listen to my free audio book if you ever get bored. The book on which it's based is gonna make the best movie ever made if anyone ever makes it. The coolest chapters I've finished so far are, gosh, they're all pretty good...but try 10 or 32 and 33. They're all in this index, just click the links:

http://everyonewhosanyone.com/audio/

Okay, since I'm a lover and not a fighter, I will take you up on your offer to place the disclaimer prior to our company's contacts (perhaps other companies have different policies, so you can make it specific to just ours.) I understand and love that you're intentions are honorable, it's just that the reality of how this system works is that the unsolicited approach isn't the way to go if you want your work to be seriously considered, and whomever isn't aware and doesn't go through the proper channels of getting their work seen, runs the risk of being perceived as unprofessional, ultimately hurting their chance for success.

It's up to you, because at the end of the day, I'll be forced to continue sending those rejection letters (hoping to be atoned by Mary Mother of Scribes one day rather then having a mob of angry writers after me), but until then anything you can do to get these writers who look to you and your website for accurate guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Gerard.

I'll do my best to let people know the situation...and I DO know the way things work, but I don't like the way things work and I think they'd work better if they didn't work the way they work...and maybe my little website will help change the way things work. Things do change, you know. If it weren't for guys like me, the earth would still be flat. The way things currently work sucks for writers and the guys who make movies, both. It's a closed, incestuous system that breeds stale, predictable, preposterous writing and movies, both. You're a sweetie, however, and I'm sure no writer's gonna blame you for doing your job. Thanks. G.

I am honoured and privileged!

As well you should be! Here's a chapter from the best new art form ever made for you to listen to while you wile away a foggy London Sunday. Thanks. G.
