#54 (July 12, 1942) U. K. (B72) FREEDUMB FORUM
Prof. Laski out of the Talmud by the beast of a thousand legs, usura, pulling the legs of a couple of simple hearted blokes named White and T. Young. Such was the Freedom Forum of the B. B. C. : White and Young for the classics, etc. apparently NOT knowing the protocols and not seeing Laski ONE hundred percent Talmud, wanting to annihilate all history, substitute programs of the future precisely to PREVENT the masses or any one else learning LIFE as recorded in Demosthenes.
I. e. the effect of kikery, the Talmud, the perpetual forgeries in bamboozling simple-minded Saxons. The classicist NOT realizing that Latin went on being written after the demise of the Roman Age and that Salmasius wrote it.
The London School of Economics does not want to teach history but conceal it as the Whig endowments concealed it, wants to prevent a knowledge of PRECISE problems, such as interest on money, the way it is made. All specific issues to be shelved in generalities such as the forum ran on about May 29th.
Then when White, I think it was, came back about the labor leaders trying to get a culture to equal or at least ersatz the classics, what does he trot out but the Bible, meaning the Protestant Old Testament, choked
? to the eyes with Jew mentality; and Milton, another already poisoned from the same source.
The really super naivete? of the poor old gents, dealing with the cockatrice, and NOT recognizing that ALL Laski's program IS the Protocols, whoever wrote them, i. e. , whoever garbled that particular form of Talmudism in order to claim later that it was a forgery, and the kike is slandered.
Why don't the gents, still let on the British air, listen to some of the poison that accompanies their song and dance in foreign tongues, exhortations to assassinate in three languages; while tender messages to the kiddies in Canada float on the ambient, in the most chocolate box accents: oh quaite Engliash, while the yittisch female, claiming to pee vrfence entuneth in her nose-full tunefully about Hun consfiscations of Rothschild's embezzled tapestries and bibelots in the occupied territories, with no reference [to] the French background, as say available in Drumont du Camp, or the Goncourt.
By May 30, we say that England's only hope was in a few Yiddish assassins. Not only the last youpine whom the mild English accept as French, not only the ghetto sweepings, but right up to Westmonster itself, the dirty voice of Walter Elliot, like a bit of yesterday, day before yesterday's salad dressing left on a plate, unsound but still creamy.
Westminster, the tocsin, for a few attentats-- --. No proposal of military action. ELLIOT encouraging the duped workers in the belief that a Paris riot will save England. Well, what about the Rothschild money in Skoda? Did THAT save Europe OR England? Disgust and tragedy. YOUR tragedy is that your able bodied men were killed in the last war. PUSHED into war by the financier whose race is not uniformally 100% British. The men who ought to KICK out your Walt Elliots, your Priestlies, were killed in the first three months of 1914. Noticed it in Paris literary life, in another way. No elders the young could respect.
? That is the way the alien race wormed into the system. Kills off not only a government system but the race itself. It has taken my generation the whole of its time, 1910 to 1940, to discover the meaning, I mean down to [the] bottom of the word corruption, social corruption, corruption of a race and of national order. The continent is a few decades ahead, France is in decay, the French have been studying the effect of Jews on France for over 50 years. Germans found out what it meant, reacted, serious STUDY of the Jew AS problem.
No longer haphazard programs. Serious study of what Dr. Laski means, I don't mean what Laski tells you, but of the phenomena, PENETRATION by Talmudic tendencies, bacilliae carried by a particular hostile, but whining race, humiliation doctrine, doctrines of humiliation, doctrines of shame, none of your Aquinas, santo atleta, as Dante called him. None of your Christianity conceived as intense luminous thought. The tensity that built the romanesque cathedrals, none in what is called romanesque style: duomo di Modena to St. Hillaire of Poiters,
Mr. BowWowWow Steed in his dotage, saying that it will be a WIND, really! ! For 25 years Steed has resisted abundance economy, derided, refused to read economics; and now he hears it from Perkins, that AFTER the War, after the Jews get control again, Geneva at 60% usury; interest on real deposits, then the old bleeders will all be Christ child, and Santy Claus.
Really ENGland needs something younger, something that WILL answer straight questions, re economic control. The slavery that Europe will NOT reaccept is slavery to the money monopolists, with no race, or no avowable race. Mouse nose or hwousse hnosse Hwood: or was it Falls telling us the Kharkov battle wasn't sufficiently serious, and the Germans forced to bulge out their line at both ends, eventually incurring the risk of encircling the Hroosians, a tactic or strategy which he deplored, hephlored, and so on.
? As to the really good historical, reconstructions. NO one despises your Wilberforces, BUT they have been dead for some time. Their modern equivalents are NOT on the BBC. NOR are they respected in England to the point of giving them any power. Sierra Leone does not excuse Smuts, nor the DEBeers, nor the exploitation of English colonists IN Africa, by a government, local, colonial entirely in the hands of the kikes.
The example of France, the example of Poland, apparently taught England nothing. The weekly "Truth" nibbles at an edge, corruption of France, a by-word, but meant nothing. La vie de Bohe`me, romanticized. You make normal conditions, family, etc. , impossible BY economic pressure, and THEN preach, is no use.
The ROMANCE of La Bohe`me was that a few individuals of high sensibility are forced into poverty. IN those impossible conditions, the fineness still persists, or the consumptive simulacrum of refinement, not from desire toward eccentricity but they wear picturesque clothes, because these are the only clothes they can get, or what chance has thrown them. Then all that is falsified, vide W. Lewis' continual harping on the APing of la Bohe`me by the rich. Also the artists "dare" wear 'em, those clothes, because no clerk in an office, no office boy (remaining office boy till age of 40 or 60) would be allowed to wear 'em.
The CONtrast of the refinement with the need gives the romantic formula but does NOT make the accidents of la Bohe`me a NORM of life, as which the false romanticism set it up.
Naturally, if there were no bait, fish wouldn't bite. Drugs, advertised alcohol, spirits where there is no nutritive wine. Plenty of preaching but no potentialization. Ridicule of the middle class as bourgeoisie, etc. all fits in, boredom exploited. Attitude that [it is] "all part of the game" whenever one gets to bedrock re the vice of usury, snarl from the
? London School of Economics products. Really bad, not to say vicious temper of these brutes when their private beef or bone is menaced.
The insurance RACKET, yet when an insurance man with a sense of humor really says something to a banker, the banker has but one word; and that word is HUSH. First silence, then babel to drown out the reality, then daily papers of 80 pages an issue, to HIDE what can't be excluded absolutely.
Arthur Meyer said to the Compte de Paris, vot uou needt iss an agenzy, hence there was Havas. Havoc of France.
Now, say I am incoherent, say I have not given you a formal discourse. Let us be CLEAR. YOU COMPARE Laski's total program with the total program of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (without going into the sources of that document). COMPARE the two programs, and then come back and tell papa.
Oh, you want to know what I am talking about, well it is this. You get a couple of nice cultured old gentlemen, and they have lived in Oxford, and dined, and breakfasted in the shades, and they have read the so- called CLASSICS, without much curiosity, and they have not burrowed into the dirt of history, apart possibly from a few pawky bits of Latin pornography. And they are innocent as babes just born of the bearing of certain phenomena. Such, for example, as the getting rid of Latin studies, or the lowering of interest RATE, while increasing the total burden of interest to be paid.
The TOTAL going mainly to a very few, and strictly NON-patriot, non- national centres, whereas the lower rate of interest merely lowers the political potential of what is left of the responsible class that used to govern England nationally, instead of as a HED [? ] company for high Jewry. These points escape you, and you and the nice old gents, neither of 'em having read the Protocols, DO NOT recognize the symptoms of
? Laski. You fail to see what he is up to, and HOW exactly it fits into the program of high kikery.
That is your sorrow, or somnolence. You have heard that they are a forgery or a plagiarism, and you haven't stopped to ask what they are a forgery or plagiarism OF.
God know they are not pleasant reading. They are heavy, no style, very dull, but do you know what is in 'em? Have you looked at Lord Sydenham's preface? Naturally not, that is, very few of you have, and so when Laski starts being clever you DO NOT see what he is aiming at you fail to detect the point of his aim, which of course he will deny; I mean he will swear blue, green, and pink that his aim is other.
But watch him.
#55 (July 13, 1942) U. S. (B68) DARKNESS
You are in black darkness and confusion. You have been hugger- muggared, and carom-shotted 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 had worked 25 years to prevent it. And I am not the only observer who had so striven.
Apparently NO man could prevent it, that is up to the point that it was not prevented. 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 age-old evil.
? Given a little more knowledge, given the elimination of a small number of shysters, the war need not have happened.
Well, Europeans who ought to have known more than American farm boys got toppled into it BECAUSE they were ignorant. Books may sell 15 editions in 40 years without penetrating the mind of a nation. Some things that I say are NOT new, but I believe they are all necessary to knowin' which way the wind blows. You have got to learn some things or die, got to learn some things or perish.
All purchasing power does NOT come from labor, shysters try to live on the part of purchasing power that does not, that does NOT come from labor.
There is enough of purchasing power based on labor, and on labor only, to RUN all the culture, to keep up all studies, arts, all the amenities, the good life in toto. The extra purchasing power does NOT create these things, it corrodes them. It does NOT create what makes life fit to live, it attacks it. It spoils it. It rots it.
A thousand years of European thought went to makin' what is best in life as we know it, or as we HAD known it before the last two outbreaks of bellicosity.
As outbreaks they were NEEDED, needed to bust the fog, the stink, the fugg, the chains of monopoly. There was NO intellectual need of the liberation being conducted by cannon, tanks and machine guns. That is to say, human stupidity and chickenheadedness were so dense and so wafty that without the explosive publicity humanity evidently would not understand, and would not even turn its attention to the roots of the evil. Europe is fightin' for the good life, the shysters are fighting to prevent it. Even British minorities are muddleheadedly gettin' obstinate over some phases of the amenities. The decent English fight or urge others to fight in the name of a few amenities. I admit that the public voice in Britain
? pretty well keeps off of this topic. But there is a squashy, soft, vague underlyin' feelin' in England that something would get lost if the Axis licks 'em.
That view is an error. There is MORE sense of the good life in Italy than in England. England don't know it. England does NOT know the good life in Italy. Italians are different. They even criticize one another.
Talk of organization, I mean to talk of organization. BUT there is no use organizin' till you know what you organize FOR. You ought to organize against world-wide sabotage, sabotage of everything that makes life fit for human being and for a sense of justice. Sense of justice corroded for decades. Corrosion gets in its work LARGELY because people don't know, and fear is begotten of IGNORANCE. WHAT are you fightin' for? Fightin' for the congressional system? Fightin' for parliamentary system? I doubt it. Democracy? What do you mean by democracy?
A man might fight for justice. Many men fight from greed . . . not their own greed. Fight from instinct. That's O. K. up to a point. Fight for survival, that's health. Man ought to fight for survival, and for RACIAL survival. But are you fightin' for racial survival? I doubt it. I doubt if you have got to thinkin' of racial survival. I suggest you start thinkin'.
British instinct had paled, lot of 'em so worn down they are ready to prefer suicide. I mean consciously. De facto, as a matter of fact, they've been suicidin' their race for some time. Even openly gloryin' in the small family, gloryin' in not breedin'. That is NOT aimed at survival. My fight from bad temper and natural kussedness, that also is understandable, but not admirable.
The English and the Americans, IF they ever fight to survive will, I think, have to come to the European state of enlightenment. They will have to fight on a basis of race. Other bases have failed 'em. Got to organize on basis of race, thereAFTER you might arrange an agreement
? of races, of racial strains, but be careful. One bad apple stinks up the whole barrel. Congressional votin' systems are all superficial, well not wholly superficial, BUT there has got to be something down under, got to be conviction, a reality, can't be all hoakum and shysters.
Of course you COULD put Congress on the air. Then you would know more of what your representatives are puttin' ON you. You could AGAIN learn from Europe. Remember our system was set up after careful study of anterior institutions, study of the British old system, with hopes to improve it.
You could keep the Constitution, and under that Constitution every state in the Union could reorganize its system of representation. Any or every state could elect its Congressmen on trade basis. Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, or Delaware (it might be rather difficult in the barony) but any or every state could organize its congressional representation on a corporate basis. Carpenters, artisans, mechanics, could have one representative; writers, doctors, and lawyers could have one representative. You could perfectly legally and constitutionally divide up the representatives of any or every state on the basis of trades and professions and the life of that state, every man in it, would gain REPRESENTATION in Congress; and Congress would take on an honesty and reality that no American in our time has dreamed of.
Present Congressmen are mostly so ignorant that some people have thought it might be useful to have a bit of congressional education. Insist on Congressmen being able to pass an exam in at least SOME of the subject matters they are expected to vote on. That would be like Chinese Mandarin system. Well no, that glorious exam system in China had merits.
It also presents possibilities for not workin' perfectly. It might, I don't say it mightn't be well for Congressmen to pass an exam, before they become eligible for NOMINATION. That I would tend to be all for. BUT I see difficulties. I think the representation by trades and profession would be a better way out, with, if you like, DIFFERENT exams for the
? different trades and professions. That could do no harm whatsoever. Man to represent steel workers, to be able to show he knows the workin' of steel; miner to know the workin' of mines; professional to
REPRESENT his profession, really to represent his profession, the best qualities, most acute knowledge of his profession. That would certainly lead to efficiency, health regulations would be decided by someone who knew something about sanitation. Rules for minin' coal, rates per day, decided by someone who knows coal don't just crawl out of a mine, while somebody sits round playin' pinochle.
On that memorable occasion when I penetrated the dim and useless halls of the British Parliament, TWO men said somethin' sensible. Of course no attention was paid to 'em. Lloyd George got up and barked, and Cecil emitted some dribble. But one man had been down in a mine, he explained how coal lies in the rock; one man had been in an engine room. Of course no attention was paid to 'em. BUT if they had been talkin' to representatives of their own trades and professions, what they said would have been effective.
When the interest and knowledge of a trade has been concentrated in a proposal, that proposal should go to the kindred trades, and when there is a clash of THEIR interests, that should work up and be decided according to the national interest. As practically DOES not occur in the present English and American parliamentary systems, in which the people merely get buffaloed. Where decisions are bought, or hugger- muggered thru by what is called "pressure," alias bribes and boycott. All these devilments would be much harder to put over in a chamber organized on trade and professional basis. I am tellin' you. I am just tellin' you. As Jimmy Whistler said to the painter, Chase, I say I am not arguin', I am just tellin' you.
You can keep the ole Constitution. Mostly sailors and landlubbers no longer care, but as a technicality (if no more than that) I am tellin' you. Lots of folks want to bust it, so as to fish in the troubled waters, lots of
? folks want to keep it rusty and inefficient, so'z it won't interfere with their various rackets.
I am tellin' you how to oil up the machine, and change a few gadgets so that it would work as the founders intended.
#56 (July 17, 1942) U. S. (B69) PERFECT PHRASING
As a writer, oh a quite persistent writer (if I am not patient, thank God I am persistent) as a writer I object to the misuse of words. No man will ever be a great writer, not even a good writer, a useful craftsman of letters if he persists in misusin' words. Such for example as writin' or sayin' DEMocracy when he means judeaocracy, or when nothin' but his bone ignorance of the facts, past and present, prevents him from knowin' that he is talkin' about judaeocracy. I suggest that with 8 or 10 million hebes in America, it is time you at least devoted as much attention to the problem (Oh it's a problem O. K. ) as has been devoted to Pueblos, the Spanish convents in N. Mexico and S. California.
Cause you haven't yet done so, and time presses, oh yes, time presses, and politics became pressure politics, and Jews became very precious or at least very dear to some circles, dear AND expensive. All them Morgenthau dollars for example: your dollars pumped into London, buyin' NO food for the Anglo-Saxon inhabitants of that metropolis.
Take it back to the Talmud, dirty, greasy old Talmud, all flesh is grass for the Hebrew pasture, human material, just browsin' 'round, innocent as lambkins at Easter, cute an' amusin', no shame. Appeal to pity, and-- -- more so, appeal to greed; if you got it, appeal to vanity, that is, give you publicity, advertise everything you don't need or want until you think you want it. And then, brother, you are hooked. You want a new automobile violet tinted, you want a Tudor mansion, a trailer, a penthouse, all in the fashion paper, keep up with the Jones's. And lose
? the colonial ease, lose that homemade product of thick cream by the quart solid with peaches, that ice cream like used to be made in American kitchens. Mortgage your farm to the milk companies.
Why don't you study the phenomenon, the mode of being of your invaders? Don't get excited. The subject is full of interest for the psychologist . . . and sociologist. "The fewer the higher. " Lord, how that phrase puzzled us sophomores back in 1900 and one or two. The fewer, the higher. How ANY bit of absolute nonsense catches on in America. How the substitution of the ridiculous for the fine order is popular. Billikins, and the rest of it, ain't he cute!
Now in proportion to a nation's ignorance, or its chickenheadedness (its habit of INattention), it is easy to victimize. [The] Roman empire got a bit lazy and sleepy, back in the old Roman imperial days' great upheavals, upheavals, persecutin's of Christians. Factions within the church, crusades (vide Brooks Adams). Economic factors, all very interestin' if you have a serious turn of mind! Then the wars of religion. What caused 'em? Then the turn about, one nation after another decided to turn out the Jews. France turned 'em out under some Louis or other. Been makin' laws since time of Philippe le Bel and Philippe Auguste. Anyhow, when France got rid of 'em, France rose up and became La Grande Nation. I don't fancy Louis XIV but in his day France was important. Had, in fact according to some sort of reckonin' 38% of the population of the great powers. I don't know just what they figured to be great powers on that statistical table, but by 1789 France had 27%, and now has 13%.
And nobody with ANY historical knowledge says that the French revolution occurred without Jewish assistance. Nor that since that somewhat bloody upset and series of subsequent upsets the Jew warnt cockawhoop in the French capital. A knowledge of the French commune would have helped us to understand the Russian November revolution IF
? we had had it. But handy and useful knowledge has a teasy way of gettin' mislaid. Now what causes that?
Napoleon wanted to be real nice to the Hebrews, and they ditched him. Oh yes, they ditched him. Italy was bein' humane to the Jews, and they started gittin' rambunctious. Partly because of Italian clarity. Italian perception that Kuhn Loeb had a hand in Russia. Wasn't that funny? And now you got Soviets right in the home. Or at least in old English cloisters almost adjacent. [The] Archbishop prayin' for no-goditer Russia. The British are funny people. Character, England the home of what was called character, crusted, crusted characters, crusted pert. Why don't you meet your allies? Now Mr. Browder is out to be President, with ten million Jewish votes. For democracy.
Do you admire what the Jews have done for England? I mean, is that what you want done to YOU? Or the work in the Stalin canal zone? Is that your ideal for the future? And the substitution of the Talmud for Tacitus in our most refined university circles?
Lady I know met her dusky ex-kitchen maid goin' to, is it George Washington University, the dark one in Washington, takin' elective subjects, in her case, black lady's case, it was Hebrew. How quaint.
As the damsel of color said to Mr. Sitwell: "are you high class? " Mr. S. allowed he was class, and she continued: "I don't hold with race prejudice, but I think the classes should be kept separate. "
I don't believe in race prejudice, but I do believe in the study of history. So far as is known the dark Africans have done no harm to civilization for over two thousand years. S. Zeno was an African, St. Augustine had an African style, as they tell me, and it warn't good for the writin' of Latin, or at least some writers objected. But that is about the extent, debatable extent, of the damage. But all races are perhaps not useful to the concert or concord of nations.
? Undoubtedly the simpler the race, the easier it is to bamboozle it. Look at the Mujiks, perfect happy huntin' ground for the Hebrews. And the slow witted Britons, well they hold up being slow. Their wreck took at least from Cromwell to 1939. A tough and pugnacious people, but your fibre is thinner. I don't mean your granddad's personal fiber wasn't as tough as or more so than any Britons, but your social order is looser, more gangly. Organized political action has NOT been an American talent, no CONstructive political organization for the past 80 years. And your ignorance has been a spreadin'. [The] contents of the American mind been gittin' more and more flimsy every day of the week since Andrew Johnson got pushed out of the White House.
Even Henry James noted the strength of the executive, but bein' a kid glover did not dwell much on the topic. Notice the habit of JOININ, Mr. Gallatin joined Mr. Jefferson. It is said they do not want to form any opinion IN PARTICULAR, they just want to be in a position to form opinion. Look at that lousy KEN [? ] assembled a committee to decide which policy would PAY best, then started on those lines. Always on BOTH side of a question, some of 'em here, some there. Always have conservative papers and left-wing papers, both of which avoid severe topics, such as the problem of interest.
Man said to me, "[Why] his manager spent 30 thousand dollars gettin' the nomination! He was goof, he could have had it for SIX, six thousand dollars. " Otherwise to be classified: devise on temporary debility of a so- called great party.
Why confuse judaeocracy with DEMocracy? And why not DO somethin' about it, if you wish to survive. I personally am all for survival. I should like some AMERICAN life to survive. I should like to see some 100 million Americans represented in Washington, I mean in the government, gettin' the things they want.
? I can't believe the sons or descendents of the Massachusetts colony, the Connecticut colony, or even the sons of Rhode Island really want to PAY two dollars for every dollar spent by the government. I feel sure Alabama doesn't. Nor does Nebraska, nor Kansas, nor Idaho, nor Wyoming.
I am sorry this question of industrial silver has come up so soon after the arrival of Sassoon in America. I wonder if you have mortgaged any of your silver mines to him. I wonder if you have, or had, swapped a few of 'em to him for some of his hop joints, opium smokeries in Singapore and Shanghai, just a bit before the Japanese got so active.
Of course industrial use is the future of silver. As for gold it is a bit heavy to use copper-bottomin' in boats with, and said to be a soft metal. I s'pose they'll find some kind of alloy that will harden it up into sothing useful . . . some day . . . and plenty of people still wearin' it inside their faces. But porcelain is more in fashion for high class dentist's work in most countries.
EZRA Pound speaking. Why did you get into this war?
#57 (July 19, 1942) U. K. (B73) JULY 16TH, AN ANNIVERSARY
Several thousands of people in England may recall where they spent the evening of July 16th in the far off and happy year of 1939. In fact only three years ago, the British world bore a different aspect. And of the thousands [who] remember that evening, a few may be fortunate enough to be able to hear the reminder. A. British patriot was offering them in the midst of the world's most prosperous empire, a patriot was offering them FOUR points of sanity. And the text was "A Million Britons shall not die in a Jew's quarrel. " To defend Britain it was not necessary to intervene in every Balkan problem. Britain could be strong enough to defend herself WITHOUT entangling alliances in Eastern Europe, I
? might add in the interests of the Sassoon. Britain had her own man power. Live and let live.
FOUR POINTS: 1. Disinterest in Eastern Europe. 2. Disarmament in Western Europe. 3. Return of the German colonies, which England did not need, as [she] already held a quarter of the world. 4. Concentration on their shamefully neglected British Empire itself.
Might of Japan as the more imminent threat to British Empire. The speaker at Earls Court also pointed out that Japan constituted a far more effective menace to the Empire than did Germany. That Europe was divided by a financier's vendetta. He even mentioned kicking [out] of [the] British at Tientsin. Three years have passed. I think Germany will get back her colonies. Japan has already demonstrated her capacity. The British Press was then, and still is controlled by Jew financiers. Money then could not be found for New Zealand and Newfoundland, but industries in China, India, and Japan were being financed with British capital in order to depress the industries of Lancashire and Yorkshire. There was no such thing as free press in England. The Union of the British people was urged. The old parties do NOT seem to have served you up to the "optimum" if I may be permitted to use that new bit of slang.
My scrapbooks may be unsystematic, my plan doesn't run. I don't run to a filing system, but the oddments are fairly rich. Next to that Earl's Court program I find a cuttin' of August 3 of the same fatal year, 1939. And the olive blossoms were rich in that year. LOANS from England to friendly nations in Europe then totaled, according to the Times, thirty-one million sterling plus: Turkey, 16; Poland, a bit over 8; Rumania, 5 and a half; Greece, 2 million 40 thousand. Poles had not accepted conditions for another 5 million. The 8 million plus said to be repayable during 16 years, beginning 1941. Loan to the Orient, interest paid in cheap cotton goods, ruin of Manchester. Loans to South America, interest in beef and
? ruin of British cattle grazing.
And the shyster is out against it. Against all order, all beauty. Against all work? And you ought NOT to be on the side of the shyster.
#54 (July 12, 1942) U. K. (B72) FREEDUMB FORUM
Prof. Laski out of the Talmud by the beast of a thousand legs, usura, pulling the legs of a couple of simple hearted blokes named White and T. Young. Such was the Freedom Forum of the B. B. C. : White and Young for the classics, etc. apparently NOT knowing the protocols and not seeing Laski ONE hundred percent Talmud, wanting to annihilate all history, substitute programs of the future precisely to PREVENT the masses or any one else learning LIFE as recorded in Demosthenes.
I. e. the effect of kikery, the Talmud, the perpetual forgeries in bamboozling simple-minded Saxons. The classicist NOT realizing that Latin went on being written after the demise of the Roman Age and that Salmasius wrote it.
The London School of Economics does not want to teach history but conceal it as the Whig endowments concealed it, wants to prevent a knowledge of PRECISE problems, such as interest on money, the way it is made. All specific issues to be shelved in generalities such as the forum ran on about May 29th.
Then when White, I think it was, came back about the labor leaders trying to get a culture to equal or at least ersatz the classics, what does he trot out but the Bible, meaning the Protestant Old Testament, choked
? to the eyes with Jew mentality; and Milton, another already poisoned from the same source.
The really super naivete? of the poor old gents, dealing with the cockatrice, and NOT recognizing that ALL Laski's program IS the Protocols, whoever wrote them, i. e. , whoever garbled that particular form of Talmudism in order to claim later that it was a forgery, and the kike is slandered.
Why don't the gents, still let on the British air, listen to some of the poison that accompanies their song and dance in foreign tongues, exhortations to assassinate in three languages; while tender messages to the kiddies in Canada float on the ambient, in the most chocolate box accents: oh quaite Engliash, while the yittisch female, claiming to pee vrfence entuneth in her nose-full tunefully about Hun consfiscations of Rothschild's embezzled tapestries and bibelots in the occupied territories, with no reference [to] the French background, as say available in Drumont du Camp, or the Goncourt.
By May 30, we say that England's only hope was in a few Yiddish assassins. Not only the last youpine whom the mild English accept as French, not only the ghetto sweepings, but right up to Westmonster itself, the dirty voice of Walter Elliot, like a bit of yesterday, day before yesterday's salad dressing left on a plate, unsound but still creamy.
Westminster, the tocsin, for a few attentats-- --. No proposal of military action. ELLIOT encouraging the duped workers in the belief that a Paris riot will save England. Well, what about the Rothschild money in Skoda? Did THAT save Europe OR England? Disgust and tragedy. YOUR tragedy is that your able bodied men were killed in the last war. PUSHED into war by the financier whose race is not uniformally 100% British. The men who ought to KICK out your Walt Elliots, your Priestlies, were killed in the first three months of 1914. Noticed it in Paris literary life, in another way. No elders the young could respect.
? That is the way the alien race wormed into the system. Kills off not only a government system but the race itself. It has taken my generation the whole of its time, 1910 to 1940, to discover the meaning, I mean down to [the] bottom of the word corruption, social corruption, corruption of a race and of national order. The continent is a few decades ahead, France is in decay, the French have been studying the effect of Jews on France for over 50 years. Germans found out what it meant, reacted, serious STUDY of the Jew AS problem.
No longer haphazard programs. Serious study of what Dr. Laski means, I don't mean what Laski tells you, but of the phenomena, PENETRATION by Talmudic tendencies, bacilliae carried by a particular hostile, but whining race, humiliation doctrine, doctrines of humiliation, doctrines of shame, none of your Aquinas, santo atleta, as Dante called him. None of your Christianity conceived as intense luminous thought. The tensity that built the romanesque cathedrals, none in what is called romanesque style: duomo di Modena to St. Hillaire of Poiters,
Mr. BowWowWow Steed in his dotage, saying that it will be a WIND, really! ! For 25 years Steed has resisted abundance economy, derided, refused to read economics; and now he hears it from Perkins, that AFTER the War, after the Jews get control again, Geneva at 60% usury; interest on real deposits, then the old bleeders will all be Christ child, and Santy Claus.
Really ENGland needs something younger, something that WILL answer straight questions, re economic control. The slavery that Europe will NOT reaccept is slavery to the money monopolists, with no race, or no avowable race. Mouse nose or hwousse hnosse Hwood: or was it Falls telling us the Kharkov battle wasn't sufficiently serious, and the Germans forced to bulge out their line at both ends, eventually incurring the risk of encircling the Hroosians, a tactic or strategy which he deplored, hephlored, and so on.
? As to the really good historical, reconstructions. NO one despises your Wilberforces, BUT they have been dead for some time. Their modern equivalents are NOT on the BBC. NOR are they respected in England to the point of giving them any power. Sierra Leone does not excuse Smuts, nor the DEBeers, nor the exploitation of English colonists IN Africa, by a government, local, colonial entirely in the hands of the kikes.
The example of France, the example of Poland, apparently taught England nothing. The weekly "Truth" nibbles at an edge, corruption of France, a by-word, but meant nothing. La vie de Bohe`me, romanticized. You make normal conditions, family, etc. , impossible BY economic pressure, and THEN preach, is no use.
The ROMANCE of La Bohe`me was that a few individuals of high sensibility are forced into poverty. IN those impossible conditions, the fineness still persists, or the consumptive simulacrum of refinement, not from desire toward eccentricity but they wear picturesque clothes, because these are the only clothes they can get, or what chance has thrown them. Then all that is falsified, vide W. Lewis' continual harping on the APing of la Bohe`me by the rich. Also the artists "dare" wear 'em, those clothes, because no clerk in an office, no office boy (remaining office boy till age of 40 or 60) would be allowed to wear 'em.
The CONtrast of the refinement with the need gives the romantic formula but does NOT make the accidents of la Bohe`me a NORM of life, as which the false romanticism set it up.
Naturally, if there were no bait, fish wouldn't bite. Drugs, advertised alcohol, spirits where there is no nutritive wine. Plenty of preaching but no potentialization. Ridicule of the middle class as bourgeoisie, etc. all fits in, boredom exploited. Attitude that [it is] "all part of the game" whenever one gets to bedrock re the vice of usury, snarl from the
? London School of Economics products. Really bad, not to say vicious temper of these brutes when their private beef or bone is menaced.
The insurance RACKET, yet when an insurance man with a sense of humor really says something to a banker, the banker has but one word; and that word is HUSH. First silence, then babel to drown out the reality, then daily papers of 80 pages an issue, to HIDE what can't be excluded absolutely.
Arthur Meyer said to the Compte de Paris, vot uou needt iss an agenzy, hence there was Havas. Havoc of France.
Now, say I am incoherent, say I have not given you a formal discourse. Let us be CLEAR. YOU COMPARE Laski's total program with the total program of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (without going into the sources of that document). COMPARE the two programs, and then come back and tell papa.
Oh, you want to know what I am talking about, well it is this. You get a couple of nice cultured old gentlemen, and they have lived in Oxford, and dined, and breakfasted in the shades, and they have read the so- called CLASSICS, without much curiosity, and they have not burrowed into the dirt of history, apart possibly from a few pawky bits of Latin pornography. And they are innocent as babes just born of the bearing of certain phenomena. Such, for example, as the getting rid of Latin studies, or the lowering of interest RATE, while increasing the total burden of interest to be paid.
The TOTAL going mainly to a very few, and strictly NON-patriot, non- national centres, whereas the lower rate of interest merely lowers the political potential of what is left of the responsible class that used to govern England nationally, instead of as a HED [? ] company for high Jewry. These points escape you, and you and the nice old gents, neither of 'em having read the Protocols, DO NOT recognize the symptoms of
? Laski. You fail to see what he is up to, and HOW exactly it fits into the program of high kikery.
That is your sorrow, or somnolence. You have heard that they are a forgery or a plagiarism, and you haven't stopped to ask what they are a forgery or plagiarism OF.
God know they are not pleasant reading. They are heavy, no style, very dull, but do you know what is in 'em? Have you looked at Lord Sydenham's preface? Naturally not, that is, very few of you have, and so when Laski starts being clever you DO NOT see what he is aiming at you fail to detect the point of his aim, which of course he will deny; I mean he will swear blue, green, and pink that his aim is other.
But watch him.
#55 (July 13, 1942) U. S. (B68) DARKNESS
You are in black darkness and confusion. You have been hugger- muggared, and carom-shotted 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 had worked 25 years to prevent it. And I am not the only observer who had so striven.
Apparently NO man could prevent it, that is up to the point that it was not prevented. 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 age-old evil.
? Given a little more knowledge, given the elimination of a small number of shysters, the war need not have happened.
Well, Europeans who ought to have known more than American farm boys got toppled into it BECAUSE they were ignorant. Books may sell 15 editions in 40 years without penetrating the mind of a nation. Some things that I say are NOT new, but I believe they are all necessary to knowin' which way the wind blows. You have got to learn some things or die, got to learn some things or perish.
All purchasing power does NOT come from labor, shysters try to live on the part of purchasing power that does not, that does NOT come from labor.
There is enough of purchasing power based on labor, and on labor only, to RUN all the culture, to keep up all studies, arts, all the amenities, the good life in toto. The extra purchasing power does NOT create these things, it corrodes them. It does NOT create what makes life fit to live, it attacks it. It spoils it. It rots it.
A thousand years of European thought went to makin' what is best in life as we know it, or as we HAD known it before the last two outbreaks of bellicosity.
As outbreaks they were NEEDED, needed to bust the fog, the stink, the fugg, the chains of monopoly. There was NO intellectual need of the liberation being conducted by cannon, tanks and machine guns. That is to say, human stupidity and chickenheadedness were so dense and so wafty that without the explosive publicity humanity evidently would not understand, and would not even turn its attention to the roots of the evil. Europe is fightin' for the good life, the shysters are fighting to prevent it. Even British minorities are muddleheadedly gettin' obstinate over some phases of the amenities. The decent English fight or urge others to fight in the name of a few amenities. I admit that the public voice in Britain
? pretty well keeps off of this topic. But there is a squashy, soft, vague underlyin' feelin' in England that something would get lost if the Axis licks 'em.
That view is an error. There is MORE sense of the good life in Italy than in England. England don't know it. England does NOT know the good life in Italy. Italians are different. They even criticize one another.
Talk of organization, I mean to talk of organization. BUT there is no use organizin' till you know what you organize FOR. You ought to organize against world-wide sabotage, sabotage of everything that makes life fit for human being and for a sense of justice. Sense of justice corroded for decades. Corrosion gets in its work LARGELY because people don't know, and fear is begotten of IGNORANCE. WHAT are you fightin' for? Fightin' for the congressional system? Fightin' for parliamentary system? I doubt it. Democracy? What do you mean by democracy?
A man might fight for justice. Many men fight from greed . . . not their own greed. Fight from instinct. That's O. K. up to a point. Fight for survival, that's health. Man ought to fight for survival, and for RACIAL survival. But are you fightin' for racial survival? I doubt it. I doubt if you have got to thinkin' of racial survival. I suggest you start thinkin'.
British instinct had paled, lot of 'em so worn down they are ready to prefer suicide. I mean consciously. De facto, as a matter of fact, they've been suicidin' their race for some time. Even openly gloryin' in the small family, gloryin' in not breedin'. That is NOT aimed at survival. My fight from bad temper and natural kussedness, that also is understandable, but not admirable.
The English and the Americans, IF they ever fight to survive will, I think, have to come to the European state of enlightenment. They will have to fight on a basis of race. Other bases have failed 'em. Got to organize on basis of race, thereAFTER you might arrange an agreement
? of races, of racial strains, but be careful. One bad apple stinks up the whole barrel. Congressional votin' systems are all superficial, well not wholly superficial, BUT there has got to be something down under, got to be conviction, a reality, can't be all hoakum and shysters.
Of course you COULD put Congress on the air. Then you would know more of what your representatives are puttin' ON you. You could AGAIN learn from Europe. Remember our system was set up after careful study of anterior institutions, study of the British old system, with hopes to improve it.
You could keep the Constitution, and under that Constitution every state in the Union could reorganize its system of representation. Any or every state could elect its Congressmen on trade basis. Pennsylvania, or New Jersey, or Delaware (it might be rather difficult in the barony) but any or every state could organize its congressional representation on a corporate basis. Carpenters, artisans, mechanics, could have one representative; writers, doctors, and lawyers could have one representative. You could perfectly legally and constitutionally divide up the representatives of any or every state on the basis of trades and professions and the life of that state, every man in it, would gain REPRESENTATION in Congress; and Congress would take on an honesty and reality that no American in our time has dreamed of.
Present Congressmen are mostly so ignorant that some people have thought it might be useful to have a bit of congressional education. Insist on Congressmen being able to pass an exam in at least SOME of the subject matters they are expected to vote on. That would be like Chinese Mandarin system. Well no, that glorious exam system in China had merits.
It also presents possibilities for not workin' perfectly. It might, I don't say it mightn't be well for Congressmen to pass an exam, before they become eligible for NOMINATION. That I would tend to be all for. BUT I see difficulties. I think the representation by trades and profession would be a better way out, with, if you like, DIFFERENT exams for the
? different trades and professions. That could do no harm whatsoever. Man to represent steel workers, to be able to show he knows the workin' of steel; miner to know the workin' of mines; professional to
REPRESENT his profession, really to represent his profession, the best qualities, most acute knowledge of his profession. That would certainly lead to efficiency, health regulations would be decided by someone who knew something about sanitation. Rules for minin' coal, rates per day, decided by someone who knows coal don't just crawl out of a mine, while somebody sits round playin' pinochle.
On that memorable occasion when I penetrated the dim and useless halls of the British Parliament, TWO men said somethin' sensible. Of course no attention was paid to 'em. Lloyd George got up and barked, and Cecil emitted some dribble. But one man had been down in a mine, he explained how coal lies in the rock; one man had been in an engine room. Of course no attention was paid to 'em. BUT if they had been talkin' to representatives of their own trades and professions, what they said would have been effective.
When the interest and knowledge of a trade has been concentrated in a proposal, that proposal should go to the kindred trades, and when there is a clash of THEIR interests, that should work up and be decided according to the national interest. As practically DOES not occur in the present English and American parliamentary systems, in which the people merely get buffaloed. Where decisions are bought, or hugger- muggered thru by what is called "pressure," alias bribes and boycott. All these devilments would be much harder to put over in a chamber organized on trade and professional basis. I am tellin' you. I am just tellin' you. As Jimmy Whistler said to the painter, Chase, I say I am not arguin', I am just tellin' you.
You can keep the ole Constitution. Mostly sailors and landlubbers no longer care, but as a technicality (if no more than that) I am tellin' you. Lots of folks want to bust it, so as to fish in the troubled waters, lots of
? folks want to keep it rusty and inefficient, so'z it won't interfere with their various rackets.
I am tellin' you how to oil up the machine, and change a few gadgets so that it would work as the founders intended.
#56 (July 17, 1942) U. S. (B69) PERFECT PHRASING
As a writer, oh a quite persistent writer (if I am not patient, thank God I am persistent) as a writer I object to the misuse of words. No man will ever be a great writer, not even a good writer, a useful craftsman of letters if he persists in misusin' words. Such for example as writin' or sayin' DEMocracy when he means judeaocracy, or when nothin' but his bone ignorance of the facts, past and present, prevents him from knowin' that he is talkin' about judaeocracy. I suggest that with 8 or 10 million hebes in America, it is time you at least devoted as much attention to the problem (Oh it's a problem O. K. ) as has been devoted to Pueblos, the Spanish convents in N. Mexico and S. California.
Cause you haven't yet done so, and time presses, oh yes, time presses, and politics became pressure politics, and Jews became very precious or at least very dear to some circles, dear AND expensive. All them Morgenthau dollars for example: your dollars pumped into London, buyin' NO food for the Anglo-Saxon inhabitants of that metropolis.
Take it back to the Talmud, dirty, greasy old Talmud, all flesh is grass for the Hebrew pasture, human material, just browsin' 'round, innocent as lambkins at Easter, cute an' amusin', no shame. Appeal to pity, and-- -- more so, appeal to greed; if you got it, appeal to vanity, that is, give you publicity, advertise everything you don't need or want until you think you want it. And then, brother, you are hooked. You want a new automobile violet tinted, you want a Tudor mansion, a trailer, a penthouse, all in the fashion paper, keep up with the Jones's. And lose
? the colonial ease, lose that homemade product of thick cream by the quart solid with peaches, that ice cream like used to be made in American kitchens. Mortgage your farm to the milk companies.
Why don't you study the phenomenon, the mode of being of your invaders? Don't get excited. The subject is full of interest for the psychologist . . . and sociologist. "The fewer the higher. " Lord, how that phrase puzzled us sophomores back in 1900 and one or two. The fewer, the higher. How ANY bit of absolute nonsense catches on in America. How the substitution of the ridiculous for the fine order is popular. Billikins, and the rest of it, ain't he cute!
Now in proportion to a nation's ignorance, or its chickenheadedness (its habit of INattention), it is easy to victimize. [The] Roman empire got a bit lazy and sleepy, back in the old Roman imperial days' great upheavals, upheavals, persecutin's of Christians. Factions within the church, crusades (vide Brooks Adams). Economic factors, all very interestin' if you have a serious turn of mind! Then the wars of religion. What caused 'em? Then the turn about, one nation after another decided to turn out the Jews. France turned 'em out under some Louis or other. Been makin' laws since time of Philippe le Bel and Philippe Auguste. Anyhow, when France got rid of 'em, France rose up and became La Grande Nation. I don't fancy Louis XIV but in his day France was important. Had, in fact according to some sort of reckonin' 38% of the population of the great powers. I don't know just what they figured to be great powers on that statistical table, but by 1789 France had 27%, and now has 13%.
And nobody with ANY historical knowledge says that the French revolution occurred without Jewish assistance. Nor that since that somewhat bloody upset and series of subsequent upsets the Jew warnt cockawhoop in the French capital. A knowledge of the French commune would have helped us to understand the Russian November revolution IF
? we had had it. But handy and useful knowledge has a teasy way of gettin' mislaid. Now what causes that?
Napoleon wanted to be real nice to the Hebrews, and they ditched him. Oh yes, they ditched him. Italy was bein' humane to the Jews, and they started gittin' rambunctious. Partly because of Italian clarity. Italian perception that Kuhn Loeb had a hand in Russia. Wasn't that funny? And now you got Soviets right in the home. Or at least in old English cloisters almost adjacent. [The] Archbishop prayin' for no-goditer Russia. The British are funny people. Character, England the home of what was called character, crusted, crusted characters, crusted pert. Why don't you meet your allies? Now Mr. Browder is out to be President, with ten million Jewish votes. For democracy.
Do you admire what the Jews have done for England? I mean, is that what you want done to YOU? Or the work in the Stalin canal zone? Is that your ideal for the future? And the substitution of the Talmud for Tacitus in our most refined university circles?
Lady I know met her dusky ex-kitchen maid goin' to, is it George Washington University, the dark one in Washington, takin' elective subjects, in her case, black lady's case, it was Hebrew. How quaint.
As the damsel of color said to Mr. Sitwell: "are you high class? " Mr. S. allowed he was class, and she continued: "I don't hold with race prejudice, but I think the classes should be kept separate. "
I don't believe in race prejudice, but I do believe in the study of history. So far as is known the dark Africans have done no harm to civilization for over two thousand years. S. Zeno was an African, St. Augustine had an African style, as they tell me, and it warn't good for the writin' of Latin, or at least some writers objected. But that is about the extent, debatable extent, of the damage. But all races are perhaps not useful to the concert or concord of nations.
? Undoubtedly the simpler the race, the easier it is to bamboozle it. Look at the Mujiks, perfect happy huntin' ground for the Hebrews. And the slow witted Britons, well they hold up being slow. Their wreck took at least from Cromwell to 1939. A tough and pugnacious people, but your fibre is thinner. I don't mean your granddad's personal fiber wasn't as tough as or more so than any Britons, but your social order is looser, more gangly. Organized political action has NOT been an American talent, no CONstructive political organization for the past 80 years. And your ignorance has been a spreadin'. [The] contents of the American mind been gittin' more and more flimsy every day of the week since Andrew Johnson got pushed out of the White House.
Even Henry James noted the strength of the executive, but bein' a kid glover did not dwell much on the topic. Notice the habit of JOININ, Mr. Gallatin joined Mr. Jefferson. It is said they do not want to form any opinion IN PARTICULAR, they just want to be in a position to form opinion. Look at that lousy KEN [? ] assembled a committee to decide which policy would PAY best, then started on those lines. Always on BOTH side of a question, some of 'em here, some there. Always have conservative papers and left-wing papers, both of which avoid severe topics, such as the problem of interest.
Man said to me, "[Why] his manager spent 30 thousand dollars gettin' the nomination! He was goof, he could have had it for SIX, six thousand dollars. " Otherwise to be classified: devise on temporary debility of a so- called great party.
Why confuse judaeocracy with DEMocracy? And why not DO somethin' about it, if you wish to survive. I personally am all for survival. I should like some AMERICAN life to survive. I should like to see some 100 million Americans represented in Washington, I mean in the government, gettin' the things they want.
? I can't believe the sons or descendents of the Massachusetts colony, the Connecticut colony, or even the sons of Rhode Island really want to PAY two dollars for every dollar spent by the government. I feel sure Alabama doesn't. Nor does Nebraska, nor Kansas, nor Idaho, nor Wyoming.
I am sorry this question of industrial silver has come up so soon after the arrival of Sassoon in America. I wonder if you have mortgaged any of your silver mines to him. I wonder if you have, or had, swapped a few of 'em to him for some of his hop joints, opium smokeries in Singapore and Shanghai, just a bit before the Japanese got so active.
Of course industrial use is the future of silver. As for gold it is a bit heavy to use copper-bottomin' in boats with, and said to be a soft metal. I s'pose they'll find some kind of alloy that will harden it up into sothing useful . . . some day . . . and plenty of people still wearin' it inside their faces. But porcelain is more in fashion for high class dentist's work in most countries.
EZRA Pound speaking. Why did you get into this war?
#57 (July 19, 1942) U. K. (B73) JULY 16TH, AN ANNIVERSARY
Several thousands of people in England may recall where they spent the evening of July 16th in the far off and happy year of 1939. In fact only three years ago, the British world bore a different aspect. And of the thousands [who] remember that evening, a few may be fortunate enough to be able to hear the reminder. A. British patriot was offering them in the midst of the world's most prosperous empire, a patriot was offering them FOUR points of sanity. And the text was "A Million Britons shall not die in a Jew's quarrel. " To defend Britain it was not necessary to intervene in every Balkan problem. Britain could be strong enough to defend herself WITHOUT entangling alliances in Eastern Europe, I
? might add in the interests of the Sassoon. Britain had her own man power. Live and let live.
FOUR POINTS: 1. Disinterest in Eastern Europe. 2. Disarmament in Western Europe. 3. Return of the German colonies, which England did not need, as [she] already held a quarter of the world. 4. Concentration on their shamefully neglected British Empire itself.
Might of Japan as the more imminent threat to British Empire. The speaker at Earls Court also pointed out that Japan constituted a far more effective menace to the Empire than did Germany. That Europe was divided by a financier's vendetta. He even mentioned kicking [out] of [the] British at Tientsin. Three years have passed. I think Germany will get back her colonies. Japan has already demonstrated her capacity. The British Press was then, and still is controlled by Jew financiers. Money then could not be found for New Zealand and Newfoundland, but industries in China, India, and Japan were being financed with British capital in order to depress the industries of Lancashire and Yorkshire. There was no such thing as free press in England. The Union of the British people was urged. The old parties do NOT seem to have served you up to the "optimum" if I may be permitted to use that new bit of slang.
My scrapbooks may be unsystematic, my plan doesn't run. I don't run to a filing system, but the oddments are fairly rich. Next to that Earl's Court program I find a cuttin' of August 3 of the same fatal year, 1939. And the olive blossoms were rich in that year. LOANS from England to friendly nations in Europe then totaled, according to the Times, thirty-one million sterling plus: Turkey, 16; Poland, a bit over 8; Rumania, 5 and a half; Greece, 2 million 40 thousand. Poles had not accepted conditions for another 5 million. The 8 million plus said to be repayable during 16 years, beginning 1941. Loan to the Orient, interest paid in cheap cotton goods, ruin of Manchester. Loans to South America, interest in beef and
? ruin of British cattle grazing.
