RADIO ROME - March 30, 1942: "No one for the past 100 years had dreamed of threatening the United States of America with extinction. A damn fool or a half-hypnotized vacuum in our White House threatened Japan with starvation, sent silly school-girl notes to Mussolini and Hitler, threatened to starve the world, talked 'tosh' to the Axis powers and to Japan. The world has seen that propaganda, smelt the stink." --Ezra Pound RADIO ROME - April 16, 1942: "For the United States to be making war on Italy and on Europe is just plain damn nonsense, and every native-born American of American stock knows that it is plain downright damn nonsense. And for this state of things Franklin Roosevelt is more than any other man responsible." --Ezra Pound
RADIO ROME - March 26, 1942: "My job, as I see it, is to save what's left of America and to help keep up some sort of civilization somewhere or other. Ezra Pound speaking from Europe for the American heritage. F.D.R. is below the biological level at which the concept of honor enters the mind." --Ezra Pound
RADIO ROME - July 14, 1942: "You are in black darkness and confusion, you have been hugger-muggered and scarum-shouted into a war, and you know nothing about it. You know nothing about the forces that caused it. Or you know next to nothing. I am in the agonized position of an observer who has worked twenty-five years to prevent it, but I'm not the only observer who has so striven. Apparently no man could prevent it, that is, up to the point that it was not prevented. But a belief in destiny does not necessarily imply a belief that we have no duty; that we should not attempt to learn; that we should sit supine before an age-old evil. Given a little more knowledge, given the elimination of a small number of shysters, the war need not have happened." --Ezra Pound
An American that stood against tyranny.....the greatest poet of 20th Century.....WB Yeats...Hemingway...TS Eliot....& James Joyce....received the Nobel Prize, in literature, much to their collaboration with Ezra Pound....his reward, 12 years in the bug house......
@DarKool8 Pounds, contribution goes much further than his writing, What about his influence on Eliot and the Wasteland? I think of him and Pound european, at least in what concerns their art and lifepathos. As a european, i dont think the actual birthplace makes much difference by both these writers when they have embedded themselves so much with classical european culture. And for what there is to Pounds' writing i think as has already been said by other users that his influence I think is beyond and not only through his writing and enormous (in european culture).

According to Eustace Mullins, Ezra Pound's final protege, "fascist" is derived from the Roman fasces or rods bound together (which is where people confuse it with people uniting) in English, which signified the Law of Rome, where the jurist punishes the wrong doer. A certain type of people at the time had their own laws and hated the Romans, so we find those same people in the 20th Century using the word fascist as a smear or derogatory term.

It is an outrage that even a drunken footman's by-blow should be asked to die for Sassoon.

@gimbutas1 Do what Pound adjured. Seek out the writers you think are "making it new" by yourself. These days you don't even have to leave your desk to communicate with them -some of them, anyway. And read the core texts of the ezraversity: Homer, Sappho, Confucius, Propertius, Dante, Villon. And Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era. Best wishes!

You've every right to your opinion on Pound's poetry, I just think we in the anglophone world should put his influence into a global perspective. It's not simply because I'm Irish that I defend Joyce. His work has been described by French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Latin American critics as the most influential of the 20th century. Pound is barely rated in the literatures of these languages.
The Zionist Jews made sure he's an unknown treasure, yet he produced 4 protégés who won Nobel PP but all the ZJ spread were falsehoods and many repeat those sadly, read the Authorized Biography by Eustace Mullins to learn truth about my boy🌹
James Joyce is an over-rated ( too often by those who have not read his boring laddish work) pretentious misogynist. Name me one writer who has been influenced by him ? Certainly none of the great female writers...none of which you will have read...I'm sure.
@@kittybyrne4082 What "great" female writers are you talking about. Critics have much to say about how great Joyce is and greatness is not defined by how many writers have been influenced by the writer. A lot of mediocre writers have influenced other writers. You might want to read this article which has something to say about how good Joyce is www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2010/11/rereading-ulysses-by-james-joyce-the-best-novel-since-1900/67092/ As to other writers influenced by Joyce, this article claims there were many you might want to read it dianemoles0.tripod.com/id14.html
Keep in mind that 'fascism' simply means strength through unity. It's not an inherently bad thing. On the contrary. It is meant to signify a positive ordering of society, which includes a place of worth for every citizen of the nation. That is the ideal anyway.
Larry Tinsley words are symbols and scum hide behind the good symbols. Symbols are the best camouflage a predator can get. Ezra was clearly a man of great fidelity and insight. A man out of time.
I have met some Italian men and women who called themselves proud fascists and they were vehement anti racists. It frightens the horses a little bit. Ah well debating about this is a no-no, and even trying to discuss it, in the wrong places could lead to fines, jail and worse. Regards Mr. S
He was like a literary impresario, but the crowds don't flock to see the impresario: and there is no way he was more influential than Joyce, who buried the 19th century novel. The French and Germans don't give a toss about Pound, btw, but they all know the Irishman. And where one is born does make a difference. One doesn't expect to see a Shakespeare come out of Swaziland anytime soon
@DarKool81 The only part of that I agree with is nobody reads him and eerybodys heard of him. Most of the Pound scholars even dislike him, his support for Hitler makes me want to hate him.
I believe in great literature, whether realist (magic or natural), modernist, post-modernist, punk, or whatever other category you choose to name. I don't believe in writers that have a louder bark than their bite. This man was a racist, anti-semitic, traitor to his country, and a literary poseur whose reputation, thankfully, is now shot! Everyone's heard of him (because he rubbed shoulders with far greater writers than himself), but no one reads him.
I think his poetry is crap most poetry is crap Seamus Heaney who wrote my favorite poem in lyric and word , I was not happy to see most of his work is crap. But when you dig through the dirt long enough you find a jem, and poetry does have its Jems when they cut a broad swath and are not confined to time or man. But anyway I like Ezra Pounds method to writing his Cantos ( and I am going off my head so be gentle with your critic) was done through his life never the finished product ( as it is crap as he lays dying) but I admire how he constantly refined, pruned, and ploughed.
Yet he produced 4 protégés who went on to earn the Nobel Peace Prize for literature as well as Eustace Mullins the greatest researcher on government corruption in the US.
+matty- btwn America's civil war & WW1 was the only time to be living anywhere in America. let alone to have the time and predilection to write poetry. let alone to have such a profound impact on multiple award wining writers
+My Hero Ezra Pound one of mr mullins favourite sayings when asked where he got his education he would say...well people dont believe me when i tell them i got my education in a mental asylum. he meant of course his hours and days visiting mr pound at st elizabeths hospital where he was illegally sectioned.
+My Hero Ezra Pound one of mr mullins favourite sayings when asked where he got his education he would say...well people dont believe me when i tell them i got my education in a mental asylum. he meant of course his hours and days visiting mr pound.
Pound also wrote what are called the Fascist Cantos. In these he took joy in an incident that Canadian soldiers were trapped and murdered. They are horrible to read. He was anti-Semitic, deeply so. He realized that as a human being he had failed. His political views were bizarre, simplistic and childish. His father, no one he knew benefited from credit? He knew no one who used a bank? The US (indeed the world) economy recovered because of it. You cant feel much sympathy. Much as I like and love his work and it's significance I can understand he could well have been executed. He did have a point re WWI as his friends were killed in it. There is a longer version of this documentary. A sad case. His Cantos needed to move from the tendentious to a kind of universalism: he could have opposed war as Russell did and others. He also praised the killing of Jews, broadcasting: "See! You Jews (in the US) are next!" Even after leaving the hospital he gave the Nazi salute. A sad, pathetic end. Like that perhaps of Celine, or Hamsun. Meanwhile millions dead and he did nothing to stop or ameliorate that. He needed to work in some neutral place. And he did great work, his project, economics and childish politics aside, was great also. He got diverted into the abys, the fosse.
Yeah, he'd especially adore him for his love of Israel and all things Jewsih! Seriously, does old Donnie have to creep into every single online conversation?
As great a crime as hiroshima was, it pales in comparison to the Wannsee agreement. Who said I enjoy the Wasteland? And For whom the bell tolls is a very flawed book. Besides, I'm European, I don't have your Amerocentric bias. Joyce, Beckett, and Proust wipe the floor with Pound and all his yanky cohorts - who of course didn't begin modernism, they came to Europe and discovered it.

And read the core texts of the ezraversity: Homer, Sappho, Confucius, Propertius, Dante, Villon. And Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era. Best wishes!
anyone know where the rest of this doco can be found?
what is the tune at 4:00?

+snej nesor Maurice Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé Suite No.1. My favorite piece of music!
Thanks man ! Very nice indeed !
Those who criticize him are afraid of some historical truths that have been distorted for the benefit of those who need to justify their actions.

You've every right to your opinion on Pound's poetry, I just think we in the anglophone world should put his influence into a global perspective. It's not simply because I'm Irish that I defend Joyce. His work has been described by French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Latin American critics as the most influential of the 20th century. Pound is barely rated in the literatures of these languages.
The Zionist Jews made sure he's an unknown treasure, yet he produced 4 protégés who won Nobel PP but all the ZJ spread were falsehoods and many repeat those sadly, read the Authorized Biography by Eustace Mullins to learn truth about my boy🌹
James Joyce is an over-rated ( too often by those who have not read his boring laddish work) pretentious misogynist. Name me one writer who has been influenced by him ? Certainly none of the great female writers...none of which you will have read...I'm sure.
@@kittybyrne4082 What "great" female writers are you talking about. Critics have much to say about how great Joyce is and greatness is not defined by how many writers have been influenced by the writer. A lot of mediocre writers have influenced other writers. You might want to read this article which has something to say about how good Joyce is www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2010/11/rereading-ulysses-by-james-joyce-the-best-novel-since-1900/67092/
As to other writers influenced by Joyce, this article claims there were many you might want to read it

Keep in mind that 'fascism' simply means strength through unity. It's not an inherently bad thing. On the contrary. It is meant to signify a positive ordering of society, which includes a place of worth for every citizen of the nation. That is the ideal anyway.
StateLaughter. and communism just means sharing clearly the word is not the thing
Larry Tinsley words are symbols and scum hide behind the good symbols. Symbols are the best camouflage a predator can get. Ezra was clearly a man of great fidelity and insight. A man out of time.
I have met some Italian men and women who called themselves proud fascists and they were vehement anti racists. It frightens the horses a little bit. Ah well debating about this is a no-no, and even trying to discuss it, in the wrong places could lead to fines, jail and worse. Regards Mr. S
I'm somewhat annoyed by the low volume,so will not continue to watch !!!
It's called performativity, not posing. But perhaps you believe in realism and naturalism, two bankrupt, desiccated modes of art.

Where the fuck is parts 2-4?
He was like a literary impresario, but the crowds don't flock to see the impresario: and there is no way he was more influential than Joyce, who buried the 19th century novel. The French and Germans don't give a toss about Pound, btw, but they all know the Irishman. And where one is born does make a difference. One doesn't expect to see a Shakespeare come out of Swaziland anytime soon
@DarKool81 The only part of that I agree with is nobody reads him and eerybodys heard of him. Most of the Pound scholars even dislike him, his support for Hitler makes me want to hate him.
A literary peacock sums up this egotist well.
I believe in great literature, whether realist (magic or natural), modernist, post-modernist, punk, or whatever other category you choose to name. I don't believe in writers that have a louder bark than their bite. This man was a racist, anti-semitic, traitor to his country, and a literary poseur whose reputation, thankfully, is now shot! Everyone's heard of him (because he rubbed shoulders with far greater writers than himself), but no one reads him.
I think his poetry is crap most poetry is crap Seamus Heaney who wrote my favorite poem in lyric and word , I was not happy to see most of his work is crap. But when you dig through the dirt long enough you find a jem, and poetry does have its Jems when they cut a broad swath and are not confined to time or man. But anyway I like Ezra Pounds method to writing his Cantos ( and I am going off my head so be gentle with your critic) was done through his life never the finished product ( as it is crap as he lays dying) but I admire how he constantly refined, pruned, and ploughed.
Yet he produced 4 protégés who went on to earn the Nobel Peace Prize for literature as well as Eustace Mullins the greatest researcher on government corruption in the US.
+matty- btwn America's civil war & WW1 was the only time to be living anywhere in America. let alone to have the time and predilection to write poetry. let alone to have such a profound impact on multiple award wining writers
+My Hero Ezra Pound one of mr mullins favourite sayings when asked where he got his education he would say...well people dont believe me when i tell them i got my education in a mental asylum. he meant of course his hours and days visiting mr pound at st elizabeths hospital where he was illegally sectioned.

Pound also wrote what are called the Fascist Cantos. In these he took joy in an incident that Canadian soldiers were trapped and murdered. They are horrible to read. He was anti-Semitic, deeply so. He realized that as a human being he had failed. His political views were bizarre, simplistic and childish. His father, no one he knew benefited from credit? He knew no one who used a bank? The US (indeed the world) economy recovered because of it. You cant feel much sympathy. Much as I like and love his work and it's significance I can understand he could well have been executed. He did have a point re WWI as his friends were killed in it. There is a longer version of this documentary. A sad case. His Cantos needed to move from the tendentious to a kind of universalism: he could have opposed war as Russell did and others. He also praised the killing of Jews, broadcasting: "See! You Jews (in the US) are next!" Even after leaving the hospital he gave the Nazi salute. A sad, pathetic end. Like that perhaps of Celine, or Hamsun. Meanwhile millions dead and he did nothing to stop or ameliorate that. He needed to work in some neutral place. And he did great work, his project, economics and childish politics aside, was great also. He got diverted into the abys, the fosse.
Well defined, thx. You'd like video "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil".
How can he be a Jew hater when EZRA was himself a Jew.
Ezra Pound a jew? Where do you get your information from? This is beyond ludicrous.
Half of Christian names are Jewish in origin! How could a bloke nameed Joseph (Goebbels) have been such a genocidal antisemite??
+stop baiting Joseph. Ezra is amazing
Ezra was of English Protestant heritage.
if ezra was jewish he would of been ezra sheckle.
Pound would have voted Trump, sadly.
cancontrl. why is that sad
Yeah, he'd especially adore him for his love of Israel and all things Jewsih!
Seriously, does old Donnie have to creep into every single online conversation?
Fucking sheep. Mass media meat puppet!
My Hero, Ezra Pound Probably. And people would ignore him or dismiss it.
As great a crime as hiroshima was, it pales in comparison to the Wannsee agreement. Who said I enjoy the Wasteland? And For whom the bell tolls is a very flawed book. Besides, I'm European, I don't have your Amerocentric bias. Joyce, Beckett, and Proust wipe the floor with Pound and all his yanky cohorts - who of course didn't begin modernism, they came to Europe and discovered it.
If I wanted to listen to shit I would watch the x factor
RADIO ROME - March 15, 1942:
"Parlando da Roma. Ezra Pound speaking from Rome. Parlando da Roma. . . . It is an outrage that any clean lad from the country - I suppose that there are a few English lads from the country - it is an outrage that any clean lad from the country or any nice young man from the suburbs should be expected to die for Victor Sassoon. It is an outrage that even a drunken footman's by-blow should be asked to die for Sassoon.
As to your Empire, it was not always won by clean fighting; but however you got it, you did for a time more or less justify keeping it on the ground that you exported good government, or better government than the natives would have had without England. But you let in the Jew and the Jew rotted your Empire, and you yourselves outjewed the Jew. Your allies in your victimized holdings are the bunya, that is, the money lender. You stand for usury, and above metal usury you have built up bank usury, 60 percent as against 30 and 40 percent, and by that you will not be saved. . . .
Was it an instinct to save the butt end of the race by not fighting? Is there 'a race' left in England? Has it any will left to survive? You can carry slaughter to Ireland, but will that save you? I doubt it. Nothing can save you, save a purge. Nothing can save you, save an affirmation that you are English.
Hore-Belisha is not. Isaacs is not. No Sassoon is an Englishman racially. No Rothschild is English, no Streiker is English, no Roosevelt is English, no Baruch, Morgenthau, Cohen, Lehman, Warburg, Kuhn, Kahn, Schiff, Sieff or Solomon was ever yet born Anglo-Saxon. And it is for this filth that you fight. It is for this filth that you have murdered your Empire. It is this filth that elects, selects, elects your politicians."
