How To Fight A War Without Weapons

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2019
- The Cold War was long and messy. The United States and the Soviet Union, while never directly confronting one another, fought for influence on many fronts. One of these fronts was culture - in particular using art, music, literature and philosophy as a means of furthering Soviet and American ideologies. In this episode, Sana Saeed explores two of the U.S. government’s most prominent cultural programs of the Cold War: the Congress for Cultural Freedom and the Jazz Ambassadors.

I guess that explains the lack of Knowledge around George Orwell like he was a socialist and that he fought for Catalonia in the Spanish civil war prior to WW2.
I would’ve never known if you didn’t tell me
We all know that on the left. It’s very obvious he was a socialist. Even this clip doesn’t like to describe him as a socialist because like with most Americans, nuance is of minor importance.
Alex Daniel agreed, that being said I didn’t know that until I started going left. I also didn’t know the person who said Insanity is repeating something expecting different results which was Einstein was also a socialist.
The US government still has its hands in culture, specifically via Hollywood and corporate media.
and youtube.
@JohnnyTheWolf TDS much ? 🤣🤣🤣#Trump2020
Hmmm so hollywood supports Trump ha. You idiot!
@@besnikbrezhnica6120 ...Trump doesn’t have “the system’s” support. That’s why he’s so hated, genius. ...And because people are told to hate him.
@@Americansikkunt i know, just did irony
Really digging this Pop Americana series!!!
I learned so much from this video, and I loved the Dolly Parton one too. Can't wait to see more of this series.
"Jazz confused the soviets"
It confused the germans too, thats why they called it "schrage musik"
Jazz and it's free, black nature bugged all authoritarian types
But also inspire them against nazism, search for the Swingjugend
Abstract art and Jazz are not examples of how "free" capitalist society is as capitalist propaganda claims, but in the very opposite. They are outcries of pain under capitalism. They both create imaginary worlds of freedom in their art, where it doesn't exist in real life under capitalism. Both are artistic, emotional ways to escape from it for a few moments. Abstract art paints a different reality, an emotional world into which their creators escaped. And Jazz creates moments of emotional freedom for the musicians, where it doesn't exist in the capitalist, white supremacist system. Both art forms are yearning to overthrow the capitalist system. And realist art is not "controlled". Only in the sense of "taking back control over one's vision". It shows the reality of imperialism and capitalist exploitation, it wants to focus our minds and empower us. It wants us not to flee from reality, because that will only continue our suffering. In the opposite it wants us to look the exploitation and pain capitalism inflicts upon us in order for us to rise up against it and overthrow it.
Yeah, alright buddy.
J Chalk and cheeses, Jazz is just one form of music with deep roots in Africa.
Abstract Expressionism is house paint thrown at a canvas by those nominated as artists by an alphabet agency that also needed to turn visual art into a kind of currency, decouple it from aesthetic value or pleasure, to fuel a black economy of off books shenanigans. Neither you nor the narrator should have bundled them together.
Disclaimer - don't listen to jazz but any idiot could see
1) it takes long practice and talent,.
2) is a "dialogue" between the musicians, a complex code.
Abstract Expressionism is designed to cause demoralisation and pseuds overcompensation. It's indirect pre war European precursors, were just noodling around at sketchbook level, not providing collateral for black ops and cartel deals.ffs!
@@100c0c Quoting Tate Gallery:
"Abstract expressionism is the term applied to NEW forms of abstract art developed by American painters such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning in the 1940s and 1950s. It is often characterised by gestural brush-strokes or mark-making, and the impression of spontaneity."
Do you want me to tackle the rest of your indoctrination?
End quote: "There are always those, who when confronted with reality, double down on the rote learning from the gayekeepers ... whose quote is that?
@@100c0c Not indoctrinating indoctrinated. Frankly you don't have the skillbase, to be anything but a "repeater station" of of undigested bullet points, and deep down you know it. So being an indoctrinated parrot that didn't engage with the content of the vid, which was quoting data in the public domain since 1966! ... Do catch up! 😂
Or, engage with 90% of my first comment, hypocrite.
Youre too emotionally fragile for all this.
You have no data and you know it, and it's rocking your safe space.
Great work
you should have a caribbean news program { aj+ caribbean}
I had heard of the tours of the jazz musicians before, but did not know it was a propaganda operation. It's really sad that the only way to get significant government support for the arts is to be part of a culture war.
Hmmm, like the war on the internet?
@Jimmy Durex unfortunately, although progress is being made
such good journalism
thanks for the reporting
"The CIA did not approve this script."
The channel is Al Jazeera..!!
My graduation thesis is about this topic.Are there any resources you can recommend to me?
Duke Ellington’s music from 1956-1966 that 10 year period was loved by Communists, Christians, Atheists, Capitalists everyone Loved Duke’s music...
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ
We still have the Jazz Ambassador program.
Good
Jazz is literally save lives
Ironic that this channel did this video 😆
True!! 😂
Parapolitics: Cultural Freedom and the Cold War

This exhibition in Berrlin in 2017 dove into the archives of the CIA effort and was also highly critical of government control of the arts.
You're welcome ;)
^the sky
What are you talking about? Jazz was really popular in the USSR as far back as the early 70s
You just proved the point of this video. The USSR's eventual collapse in the '80's might be partially attributed to cultural influences such as jazz, pop, etc... along with it not being able to support its own weight economically.
The U.S. didn't adopt this "unwittingly" lol.
Moviebob ???
You gotta follow the money
Go back to rap music in its early days, real rappers told this story daily.

How do you fight a war without weapons. By taking them all away from them.
Pollock is 51% cooler than Heidegger’s funders 🧐
i think that hip hop is why disco died i remember when hip hop came out disco became like the old 8 track tapes
Yeh... civilisation game taught all of this to me.... nothing new
Sky Lance gotta get that cultural victory
The Late Game Cultural Victory is where America always shines, any Civ. player can tell you that.
War without weapons: #Bitcoin
Evil incarnate.
Expressionist art first entered the US with the Armory Shows in 1913. Long before WWII.
Ideas are everything it comes down to JESUS CHRIST and KARL MARX for our Hearts...
Every form of art I don't like is a CIA plant. Whew.
Know we already know who spent thousands of dollars in buying pseudo art.
Orwell fought with the poum and was an Anarchist not dem socialist and Anarchism was very common at the time the Spanish revolution was an anti Stalinist anarchist-communist revolution
Actually, anarchism and anarchist political parties had declined in most of Europe by the 1930s, except Spain because in many respects Spain was still seen as scarcely industrialized, devoutly conversative Catholic country that has lost most of its once-glorious, vast colonial Empire but had never really joined the rest of 20th century Europe in terms of modern culture, politics, international politics. And also anarchist parties used the unifying theme of nationalism as a rallying cry to unite different left-wing parties in Catalonia, who have always seen themselves as culturally, politically distinct from rest of Spain. POUM was sort of a more radical, 1930s version of what later came to be expressed in 1960s Quebec among French Canadians as Quebecois movement or the FLQ. One of the main primary reasons the Spanish Republicans lost the conflict against Franco's Nationalists was they lacked larger military forces, weren't as well-equipped, well-armed, or well-led, didn't have access to more sophisticated military tech and hardware and because the Popular Front, which was dominated by Soviet-styled Stalinists hated and despised other leading Spanish left-wing parties, they fought as much among themselves as they did Franco's Nationalists. Popular Front had hundreds of thousands of foreign "volunteers", including US "Abraham Lincoln brigade" but even many foreign adventurers, supporters, intellectuals who fought for POUM or Popular Front later said they had deep skepticism or doubts about whether far-left leadership or it's members fiery, murderous rhetoric made them any better morally or ethically than Franco or reactionary Catholic Church clergymen. Some of the more radical elements of the Popular Front didn't help their own causes by murdering, raping priests, nuns, sacrireligously desecrating centuries-old cathedrals, churches, cemeteries, or monuments, which along with Soviet support, made the Spanish Republican Popular Front look militant atheistic and anti-religious in tone which they kind of were anyway. Many Westerners were terrified the left-wing Spanish Republic would eventually do to Spain's religious heritage or it's traditions what Bolsheviks and Lenin, Trotsky, and later Stalin had done to many former Russian Orthodox churches, shrines, temples, and monuments. Orwell and Ernest Hemingway came away from their respective Spanish Civil War experiences with a more grimmer, nuanced, and more cynical view towards extreme elements and tendencies of far-left or how charismatic, influential leaders can become corrupted by power and distort seemingly idealistic, egalitarian goals into totalitarian regimes like Stalinist Russia, Moaist China, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge's infamous Killing Fields Cambodian experiment. Orwell even said as apart of his opening prologue to Animal Farm that while he was a strong supporter of Labour Party, one of his primary objectives in writing Animal Farm was to expose socialism or communism in its most deranged, dehumanizing forms. Like Arthur Koesler Darkness at Noon or Gulag Archipelago.
David Roberts you’re a kook the church was heavily in support of the fascists the CNT-FAI was not a part was the syndicate in which workers were able to practice autonomy, CNT made up of the peasantry was the dominant tendency until Soviets backstabbed the revolution and the the Fascist along with support of Italy and German. Orwell was very much an Anarchist communist I’d recommend his Homage to Catalonia as here he pretty much just tells you how Catalonia operated. Orwell made animal farms to expose both authoritarian capitalists and soviets
"the Soviet painters were more controlled becasue the national style being promoted was one that everyday people could understand, but the American abstract artists were free becasue they were being funded by the CIA to create and artificial global phenomena..." WHAT! ? LOL. the good guys really did lose the cold war.
@@100c0c The CIA controlled American "art." Those are the bad guys! The Soviets just didn't fund individual expressionism. sorry, but jackson pollock was nothing but a psyop & his art is terrible garbage.
@@100c0c I never said they didn't fund art I said, they didn't fund individual expressionism. learn to read! lol, you think piss and shit is "subversive". I think soviet realism took actual talent. because it does. unlike pollock & congress for cultural freedom run by the CIA. The "cultural influence" of the west has destroyed hundreds of nations so, yes, they are the bad guys.
@@100c0c LMAO, you think any university student can paint like Brodsky... you know nothing about art. weirdo dog avatar dumbass.
Soviets: "let's fund talented artists"
America & the CIA: "Let's fund total crap and sell it as "freedom" ideology to hipsters to try and overthrow other nations"
yes, you support the bad guys.
Art been highjacked for political agendas.
cheng kuok Lee
Yeah... it has been used for political purposes since ancient times.
Art been always been highjacked for political agendas. Fixed it.
Art has always been political
2:48 Ugh... another person who cannot properly pronounce the word _nuclear._ It's NUCLEAR, not *NUCULAR.* Lulz. Reminds me of friggin' Bush.
ᙅYᙖᙓᖇ ᗪOᙅ™ Lol it’s actually how the guy who made the hydrogen bomb pronounced it we pounced on Bush but it’s actually not incorrect; Eisenhower, Clinton and Carter all said it!
@@brazaniankamrazian104, yes, you are correct, though it's still not proper. They all butchered it! Lol. *Merriam-Webster:* _Though disapproved of by many, pronunciations ending in \-kyə-lər\ have been found in widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, U.S. cabinet members, and at least two U.S. presidents and one vice president. While most common in the U.S., these pronunciations have also been heard from British and Canadian speakers._
Heh, fool me once shame on.. you. Fool me, can't get fooled again! Heh heh heh. Idiot.
@@mikerphone., 😅 Yet another classic Bush-ism!
Nucular? Really?
war without weapon??

Soviet Union will be back. And this time we shall win. United world, united human race.
Indeed we will Comrade!

no you won't, as you have failed.
Glühfunke
Perhaps, but they all follow the same principles of Marxism-Leninism that has allowed them to free themselves from imperialism and gain national liberation. If revolution had not occurred within these respective countries they would still be subjugated under colonial-puppet regimes that would be siphoning resources from their own people to hand over to their imperialist overlords in the name of “economic growth” and “democracy”. Thanks to Socialism these nations have, in just a short amount of time, achieved a higher standard of living for the vast majority of its population and massive industrial growth that would not have been possible under a capitalist “democracy” imposed by imperialist powers.
4T3hM4kr0n!
Laughable. For its is you that has failed to stop the resurgence of Socialism in the West. If we have failed then why are there mass protests happening across the western world in favor of Socialism? Face it. Your Red Scare tactics have fallen utterly flat and the toiling masses have managed to see through your lies and grasp the Truth. The West is in decay... and it is only a matter of time before the whole rotten system comes crashing down!
Why am I spending so much time looking at a woman talk instead of informative images and graphics? I like the subject matter but the level feels a little bit high school.
