The central
government
must in modern life have some powers.
Ezra-Pound-Speaking
From the sacking of the Imperial Palace in Peking to the Jewsoons', Sassoons' century of infamy and of opium with Robert Cecil their advocate.
That is their dirt, why make it ours ?
In any case secret agreements between an usurious nature faker whether in or out of the White House are ILLEGAL.
And a foreign government which presents these secret pledges to ITS people as acts of the United States of America participates (and naturally HAS participated) in the swindle.
We should leave this trash to its own people, human-- --.
If this people hasn't the manhood and sense to spew out their Churchills, Baidwins, Buchans, and lesser vermin, that is their own affair, and they will presumably pay the penalty for their own flaccidity and mistaken toler ance.
They will slang us for THEIR errors all right.
But that any sub-Jew in the White House should send American lads to die for their Jewsoons and Sassoons and the private interest of the skum of the English earth, and the still lower dregs of the Parsee and Levantine importations is an outrage: and
? that ends it. To send boys from Omaha to Singapore to die for British monopoly and brutality is not the act of an American patriot.
#12 (February 26, 1942) U. S. (B17) AMERICA WAS INTENTIONS
The Honor of the United States of America is NOT concerned with becoming an arsenal.
The men who wintered at Valley Forge did not suffer those months of intense cold and hunger with the design, or in the hope that Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Virginia, the union of the colonies would one day be able to stir up wars between other countries in order to sell them munitions.
I don't want, the last thing I want, is that any harm should come to Uncle Sam's Army and Navy. The Navy is, some, of it, gone where I can't much help it. The Army can get on all right if it stays where it ought to be, namely on the North American continent.
I certainly do NOT want American's young blood shed in an assinine attempt to wreck all European civilization. I don't want it Dunkirked, and I would like for Mr. C. Gessler to go on getting his bath at Waikiki, if it ain't too late to mention the subject. I have heard said that Aguinaldo had and has as good a right to the Island of Luzon as George Washington had to Virginia. I am not a Philippine specialist. I have read on fair authority, namely on that of at least one participant, that the British troops after the last war were about fed up with some features of English government.
Dunkirk is one way to keep troops from showing their feelings.
Whether American air destroys the memory, I am not prepared to state. John Devey kept his till ripe old age; and I am reminded of his quotation from Burke on the penal laws, "an elaborate contrivance as well fitted
? for the expression, impoverishment and degradation of a people, and the debasement in them of human nature itself as ever preceded from the perverted ingenuity of man. "
Well, as Prattling Nelson is telling you, you haven't seen anything YET. And it has been forgotten that the 18 years of Irish Parliament, 1782- 1800, followed close on our American revolution, preceding the French [of] 89. That is, if it isn't rank pretense that any non-Irish American knows it, save by odd chance.
For indeed is there much analogy in it for North America ? There is for South American countries. Our South American policy hasn't yet got as far as the Times. A Celt will soon be as rare in Ireland as a Red Indian on the shores of Manhattan.
Perhaps it would be unwise to see too deep for analogies. Palmerston, Lord John Russell and the Times, intending their utterance to apply only to the Pope and the King of Naples, had been advocating the right of every people to choose their own rulers. [By that allusion, I mean short, that they] had a word for it before the Atlantic Conference.
What am I getting at with all this which what, what which ? Well, the moral behind any reference to John Devey is that Oireland kept hold of something. Call it the soul of the Irish nation. Kept hold of it thru 700 years of oppression, bloody oppression, not tea party conversation.
And the Americans, the U. S'ers, have started a fine government in 1776. Couldn't keep it a century and have now plum forgotten it ever existed.
It is to be supposed that you are all running round hot and bothered, like headless chickens, no man understanding another. And the pathological brainstorm in the White House after years of robbing the country dipping into the Treasury, years of frothing at the mouth about Mussolini and Hitler, in mid January comes out with a discourse and EVERY
? single item in it that has a trace of sanity is IMITATED from Mussolini or Hitler.
After 20 years [of] judaic propaganda Lenin Trotsky stuff crowding American history out of the schools, wild inferiority hate against Europe, here old Delano comes out with a mixed bag, in which two thirds of the program is fascist. With, of course, the essential parts missing.
Well now what causes this ? Twenty years late, just 20 years late as Amerikanishly usual. The same old American time lag, leading the world from the back seat as usual.
Amid all which flurry there is much that I am sure of.
This war is part of a process that has been going on for some time. And Roosevelt never lied with mere typically Rooseveltian fluency than when he bleated out his sick blah about wanting to keep YOU (that is you, the American people, and your children and your grandchildren) out of war.
A clean man would have been content to keep peace in his own time and trust his children to follow example. By continued bosh about Europe, which his mental and ethical level is much too low to reach he tipped you into war with the Jew Asia and you are most of you his accomplices
Nevertheless I am convinced of at least one thing. The present war should NOT be allowed to degenerate into a 30 years or even ten years beano for Knudson and the other sustainers of speed-ups and sweating, chain table.
Work 'em up in six years, was the old Jamaica slave owners system. Do the young men, and only young men can stand it, last SIX years at the Knudson band assembly systems ? Jews paid by Schiff in New York got
? hold of Russia and turned the whole land into a sweat shop. Watch your step, brother, it CAN happen to you.
Nothing here about winning the war or not winning it. Wars are not won by sweat shops alone. They are not won by profiteers ONLY. I mean the profiteers win PROFITS, but they do NOT win wars. They start war, but they do not start them in order that any particular nation shall win them.
You can swipe all South America and end up ruined. You can end up with your farms ALL ruined by South American competition INSIDE a customs ring. Dumping of cheaper products is not stopped by mere LACK of customs wall.
If there are any New Englanders, if there are any Americans who have BEEN American for three centuries, or two centuries, or one century, any whose forebears constructed the nation, it is time for 'em to get together and think. It is time for them to break the spell of the Knudson and Stimson slop.
Army [regulations] make it unethical to assert that a plane can not be in two places at once. That is the Knox, Stimson, Roosevelt coherence. Possibly new arms manuals will be issued. It seems unlikely that Stimson will bring luck to an army. Military honor has existed. Stimson is unaware of ANY such component in the life of an army. I don't think Henry is a very good bet.
I refer to his absolute and TOTAL lack of any sense of honor whatsoever, let alone the fine honor that has in the past inhered in the concept of the solider and officer. Three generations of c[h]anting parsons are back of that fishface. As to Knox, well your worst enemies hope you will keep him. A child of four [? ]. I am making these rather gross allusions with a purpose. That is the faint wavering hope that something will wake you. That some phrase will penetrate the hypnotic
? or dope trance. These two men were distinctly NOT chosen by the people. No member of the Democratic Party would do particular dirts. Some [of] these decrepit hacks are chosen as instrument.
That is O. K. from one point of view, point of view of tyranny. The over lord or autocrat must be served. If his own party will NOT follow him into certain messes, he must go outside his own party.
Why not lay a wreath on the grave of the elective system ?
"Here lies John Jones, he is not dead but sleepeth. " Or here lies democracy.
By God if I was dead, I think I'd admit it.
The question is, if two or three sane men, in the bog of Rooseveltian fuddlement can ANYwhere meet and cohere, and clarify their mental perceptions, they should or could, could or should, begin to wonder WHERE the country is coming OUT, "coming out AT" is, I believe, the phrase current.
Are you headed for a CHEAP, ten cent kike, Blumstein, Blumenstein, Zukor, tawdry imitation of nazism, or say for the moment, of fascism ? VOID of all vital content. And if you mean to imitate it, are you going to emulate, or to vie ? Are you going to try to have as GOOD a brand of the corporate State as is now provided in Europe ? If not, why not ?
You have the least desirable member of the teempin [? ] North American population now at the head of it.
The people have been lied to, betrayed, hog swoggled, and you can't just rub all that out. The question is WHAT of tomorrow morning ? Where do you go from HERE ?
? Thirty years intensive production of synthetic products in order to attack the Japanese colony of Australia in 1947 ? or 1971 ? AND IN THE INTERIM, what of your INTERNAL government ?
Any syndical organization ? Or just Russian mess and chaos, just Soviets run by the Warburgs ?
IS there ANY American consciousness, as distinct from Fortune, and New Yorker hysteria, with fatty what's-his-name Woollcott weeping into the megaphones ? Or the lowest common denominator Mr. Swing whining into the atmosphere that the Americans are humiliated. There must, damn it, there must be traces of the American RACE left somewhere on the American continent. The race that set up the United States government.
Have they lost all sense of coherence ? Is American lucidity dead ?
#13 (March 2, 1942) U. S. (B18) NAPOLEON, ETC.
Monsieur Bonaparte. Napoleon I, made several mistakes, but it is generally conceded that he possessed military ability. Several of his discoveries lie outside the range of my subject but I shall probably be permitted to remind you of one of his dicta, namely, You can't conquer a map.
Not only do the main geographic features of our planet remain fairly stationary, but the nature of the soil and of the climate can not be altered suddenly even by the greediest politician, or most ignorant man hater and Knudson/Stakhalevite.
The AIM in all the more important human endeavors must count for SOMEthing. And you can not get to San Francisco by going to Boston. Granted ? Or NOT granted.
? No one has examined the genesis of the "muddle thru theory in old England. " No one so far as I know has taken the faintest interest in my citation of the Jew prosecuting attorney, for one of America's largest, oldest historic cities.
"All I'm interested in is BUNK," he said to me. Meaning that BUNK, falsification, was his sole interest. Seeing what you can put over. This is one thing from the late P. T. Barnum, from a music hail artist, a circus owner. It is the prestidigitator's job to illude. That's what he is paid for.
It may take another 40 or 80 years to get any of you calm enough, ever again, to ask yourselves whether this is the desirable legal attitude, whether this is the beau ideal, the ne plus ultra, the summum desiderium for a public official, engaged regularly in great municipal law courts. It is open to doubt whether there are six men listening now to this broadcast who are capable of facing this question. If there are, let 'em find six others. Some day you will all have to face it, and face all of its implications, not merely one of 'em.
Some day the remnants of the American people will begin to wonder WHICH side was right. They will wonder whether the choice was wise. They will even begin to wonder which side of WHAT. Which side stood for which PRINCIPLE, not merely stood for which interest.
Hank Wallace has shown up the INTEREST. Gold. Nothing else uniting the three governments, England, Russia, United States of America. THAT IS the interest--gold, usury, debt, monopoly, class interest, and possibly gross indifference and contempt for humanity.
Now if you know anything whatsoever of modern Europe and Asia, you know that HITLER stands for putting men over machines. If you don't know that, you know NOTHING. And beyond that you either know or do not know that Stalin's regime considers humanity as NOTHING save
? raw material. Deliver so many carloads of human MATERIAL at the consumption point.
That is the LOGICAL result of materialism If you assert that men are dirt, that humanity is MERELY material, that is where you come out. And the old Georgian train robber is perfectly logical If all things are merely MATERIAL man is material and the system of ANTI-man treats man as matter.
Now your President exceeds his powers in demanding that you adhere to his politics As Commander in Chief of the Army he can command you to assail enemy forces but even Congress in its most ABJECT and servile moments has not conceded this blood-thirsty maniac the control of your OPINIONS
In fact as long as ANY law is left whatsoever in the United States of America which no Jew and no Roosevelt will LIKE having left there, but as long as it is left there, powers do NOT inhere in officials unless delegated TO them by law. Thus when a lying Dutchman tells you that you have GOT to prefer Bolshevism to Fascism, you can ask: WHY ? Who says so ? AND if you are more than cattle ? If you rate yourselves above cows and sheep, you will in defense of that rating have to ask YOURSELVES whether men are more important than mere machinery.
Whether you intend to be slaves, lifelong slaves, hereditary slaves to machinery and whether you propose to sell your children and your grand children into long lasting slavery to usurers and to machinery.
I mean you will have to make up your MINDS. YOU can not live on cold iron, you can not live on airplane spare parts, YOU can not live well without LAWS which even the officials obey.
And for however long your answer to me is Jim's answer "No boss, no body here in America is INTERESTED in taking things as seriously as you do," there will nevertheless and finally come a time when at least a
? few of you will have to face things or DIE; you will have to THINK or die. Hard choice for the daisy pickers, but a real choice.
Roosevelt's gang have got you hitched up with Russia. Not a very good bet. Russians attack general Winter. Mightn't it be that Joe Bloodsucker KNOWS his army will starve in three or four months ANYHOW unless they break the Germans before that ? Why suppose that winter attack means STRENGTH on the part of the Russians ?
Not my job to speculate on military conditions, but might be. My job, as I see it, is to save what's left of America, and keep up some sort of civilization somewhere or other. I decline to abet the destroyers. I decline, so far as the light is conceded me, I decline to climb trees to catch fish. That's an old one, 24 hundred years old.
Mencius referred t, the folly of starting a war for something you couldn't GET; something the war could not bring to the monarch Mencius was talking to. So he said, climb trees to catch fish.
In the present juncture I refer to the POSSIBILITY that even the swiping and squashing of South America and of Canada may not catch even South America and Canada. Suckers, of course, you will get hold of some of 'em. Am I fanciful ?
Look at least at the possibility that this mere distention of U. S. borders MAY not be the way to get what you are battling for. It WON'T be unless you pay some attention to what happens INSIDE America.
It won't be if you lose ALL internal structure. When the turnpike depends upon Congress, local control is lost. Well, that was said a long time ago.
The central government must in modern life have some powers. But as human beings it might be well to ask how many powers, and which powers ?
? And IGNORANCE and feeding on lies won't help you to make a lucid decision. You go yellin' hurray for Litvinov. Do you believe in the ABO LITION of all private ownership ?
I'll say you do not. You have colluded in the OLD British habit of employing the savage to wipe out the civilized rival. Your school has been hooded. You have had a SLOW one put over you. For 80 years, moving imperceptibly, an inch here and an inch there, you have been euchred out of your history, out of knowledge of history, both American and world history. It can not be done, said Henry Adams to Santayana. Oh, you wish to teach at Harvard. It can not be DONE. Henry Adams said he had tried it. Yes, I came LATE, but I am still a bit ahead of the band wagon. Beard, Bowers, D. R. Dewey (not Tommie) been gittin' down TOWARD but not TO the real bedrock. Get on and PUSH. Get into the diggin' and LEARN the face of American history. ADAMS, John Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, also Brooks Adams. It's 40 years late for Brooks Adams, but you can't do it sooner. And in watching contemporary flim-flam, do at least TRY to sort things OUT.
DO you believe in the Homestead or in communal ownership ? If you believe in the Homestead, WHY fight FOR the abolition of ALL private ownership ?
In taking sides in a quarrel do at least try to find out what's fighting WHICH. Do you stand for the obliteration of Finland ? If not, why fight against Finland. Do you stand, those of you who are above goose gangster level, for the obliteration of all occidental civilization ? If NOT, why join the Anglo-Jewish clique which has been and still is out professedly and openly for the obliteration of Europe ? Western Civilization, all of it that you have still got.
Our forebears made a DISTINCT contribution. The Jesuits in Paraguay made a distinct contribution, but they were wiped out for discovering things. We were wiped out largely in the old 1860's.
? A man who ain't got any foresight gets kicked in the tail. Man fed on lies and lackin' in foresight got kicked in the Guam.
DO you think that is an ISOLATED instance of the hind effects of lackin' foresight ? The starve-the-enemy theme has been sung for a long time on your Victrolas.
Go back and examine it. The cornered weasel will fight. And your MIS-leaders have been out for some years annoying several things larger than weasels. Was it an error ? ARE you going to start NOW trying to evaluate their misdemeanors, or are you all of you going to go plum 100% haywire and stay so ?
DO you believe in the homestead or in communal ownership ? If you do NOT believe in the abolition of ALL private ownership, and the abolition of ALL private initiative, watch your Nelson. He has already got a half-Nelson on you. And if you got to please pore ole Hank Wallace and go on buying all the world's gold from now till the terminus of eternity, you got a day's work comin', with 24 hours labor. And no trade union organization, legally recognized, to put up a tombstone: here lies the 8-hour day.
#14 (March 6, 1942) U. S. (B19) WHY PICK ON THE JEW ?
Well, why pick on the Jew ? I have heard the term "Jewish impertinence," in fact Gaudier-Brzeska used to use it. But I think it was a fellow named Brooks, along in January, had got 'em beat, and the name ain't Hebrew and I don't reckon he is even a crypto. At any rate some murking broadcaster tellin' the world or the Italian residents in the United States that America loves Italy and only got a grudge against the regime. Waaal, as Franklin Delano was recently cursing out the Italian for what they did in 1911, before the word fascist existed, he certainly has got NO alibi, no alibi whatsoever. Now all the United States did to
? show how it loved Italy was to lie like billyOh for 20 years, and try to starve Italy into submission: tariff wall, refusal of Italian goods, refusal of emigrants. What way is that to show love ?
DOUBTless somebody who wants 30 years sweat show now wants Italian workin' men in the United States to go work--OVERTIME.
Well Charlie Marx had a word for it. That part of Marx is sound, and if bygones are gone by, and IF the Americans love the Eyetalians, there is a way to show it. Why not have a little open communication ? Why not print the Charter of Labor ? Why not study how far the Italian law code, the new law code, being published under Mussolini's regime IMPROVES on the old ones ? How many of you have heard of the Charter of Labor ? How many of you have stopped to think whether trade unions ought to have legal status ? And the RESPONSIBILITY that goes with such status ? If you are going [toward] fascism or nazism why not do it with open EYE, why not learn what these systems of government are ? Why not ask and learn how far they are compatible with American habits, [what] is good in 'em, and wherein their strength consists, INSTEAD of merely lying and cussing and trying to kill 'em on the assumption (if you can call it by so mild a term) that they are something they ain't ?
Conditions in German factories ? How do they compare ? I have seen some dirty lying in my time. I can't hold an inquest on every separate lie, but I have seen something, I have heard something, and then I have seen the American reports of 'em.
I have noticed DIScrepancies. I have heard the statement, I mean I HEARD it while it was being said. I heard Mussolini say "WE need years of peace to get on with our internal affairs. " And I have seen it reported next day as a war speech. Twenty years of that sort of thing do not show LOVE of Italy. Not on the part of the reporters or news owners. In fact Mr. Brooks, if it was Brooks, is showing a new love, store label not yet taken off.
? Also Mussolini talking about the fight to grow enough wheat to feed Italy as being the kind of fight he prefers. Well, that was the effort that brought out American hostility all right enough.
Will you lay off it ? And if so, when so ? And while you are thinking, if so, on laying off, there is something else to lay off of ? Namely, a system of lending money to foreign nations in order to have a war every 19 years.
That system I suggest you look into. Your British Allies were scared that a few rackets were bustin'. They started a war to uphold a state of
things that just were NOT UPHOLDABLE. Instead of admitting that they would have to change it, they started a war singing the International and running up the cross, sickle, and hammer. Do your Allies BELIEVE in communal ownership ? They do not. Do the Chinamen believe in dud cars sent over to Singapore, on not very favorable conditions, and on not very explicit statements as to who gets commissions (several commissions) ? I doubt it.
Very nice to hear, I mean you are mebbe comforted to HEAR that you got 100 million Chinese soldiers all ready to die for democracy. I mean if you are a democracy. But you ain't got 'em. Well, why lean on what ain't thaar ?
There are plenty of people right here in Europe whose views on many subjects do not coincide with my own, but we have, most of us, some points of agreement. Nan King, Manchu Kuo, both of them on the map of old Asia and on the map of New Asia. And TWO points that I would, mebbe three points, like to get into your binnacles. ONE that America COULD have stayed out of this war. Two, that IF America had stayed neutral the war would now be over and America might have had a hand in composing the differences; might not have so many hush hush agreements to buy; purchase, absorb such a lot of South American stuff we don't need and can't use, cornering the market as usual, but mebbe
? not on stuff other folks want to buy. Well, exchange is said to be a fountain of wealth.
Europe is fighting for something that is not merely material, But even so, a sane and natural exchange of products between them that have 'em, places that grow 'em, and places where they don't grow or don't grow so easy is certainly a factor in a plan for permanent ease and peace. Of course if you are going to work 18 or 20 hours a day from now till the day after doomsday to buy all the world's gold and silver, to content Uncle Henry A. Wallace, that may be a question of taste (mighty queer taste) on your part.
Mebbe Henry has erred (not the first time), mebbe he was kite flying to see how much hook, line, and sinker the American people would swallow. 'Tain't going to do Brazil any good if the whole of Europe goes back to drinking java and mocha coffee. And that ain't half of the story.
Cutting your nose off to spite your face is a very old saying.
Black lists are nothing new in world history. [FCC transcript: Hitherto there have been signs of weakness and waning-- --, not signs of rising power. I mean-- --and following the regime had imposed them. Not strong, confident powers.
And then, the-- --of some of your allies. In fact, why did you take up with those gangs ? Two gangs. Jews' gang in London, and Jew murderous gang over in Moscow ? Do you like Mr. Litvinov ? Is that face-- --of our Colonial architecture ? Do the people from Delaware and Virginia and Connecticut and Massachusetts ? Do the people who live in painted, neat white houses, with their little sign for the delivery box, erected in 1790, built in 1815, and do these folks really approve that Mr. Litvinov and his gang, and all that he stands for ? Is he the implication of something that Mr. Jefferson liked best ? Or-- --the
? -- --of Boston and that the first white settlers of Massachusetts belong to a race now extinct ?
Well, I hope before the Lord we ain't going to be replaced by a race of Litvinovs. The South got-- --and desolated in the Civil War, or-- --to the city of New York, to bankers in New York City and in London, (debts) conducive of slaughter, slaughter conducive to debt, as intended, and some day you may start asking, I hope so, I hope to God you will start asking some day. ]
#15 (March 8, 1942) U. K. (B15) GOLD: ENGLAND
The ENEMY is Das Leihkapital. They're working day and night, pickin' your pockets. Every day and all day and all night pickin' your pockets AND pickin' the Russian workin' man's pockets. They call it international loan kapital. It is not international, it is not hypernational. It is subnational. A quicksand UNDER the nations, destroying all nations, destroying all law and government, destroying the nations, one at a time, Russian empire and Austria, 20 years past, France yesterday, England today.
Gold is a coward. Gold is not the backbone of nations. It is their ruin. A coward, at the first breath of danger gold flows AWAY, gold flows OUT of the country.
England don't GROW it. There is no gold sproutin' up in England next morning to replace what is gone. Taking usury rotteth the heart. I know you don't believe it. It has been going on for some time. Art Golding a few years ago writin' the life of his famous ancestor, or perhaps I shouldn't say famous, one of the best Shakespearean poets, Arthur Golding, translator of Ovid's Metamorphoses, about the best book of poetry in our language. Shakespeare learned from it.
? Well, his namesake and 84th generation or whatever, descendant points out that even in the time of Queen Elisabeth the Earl of Oxford was falling. He was handing over his rents to some shyster in return for a fixed income. Ten thousand, or whatever it was, a year and then the shyster had leave to squeeze what he could out of the peasants and yeomen, out of the men working the land.
Decline of the feudal system. Ole F. M. Ford used to talk about that. Liberty is not a right but a duty. [To] own property, not a right but a duty. I wonder how long it is going to take you to learn that. Rot and laziness cutting in under, too lazy to FUNCTION as lords and proprietors, the nobility sold out to the shysters.
In my 12 years in London, how many people did I meet (meeting as you might say the flower of the writing class in your island), how many people did I meet who had read their own history, how many who had read Anthony Trollope ? It was said as extenuation of Professor Saintsbury, "at any rate he recognized the merit of Trollope. " Owning property not a right but a duty. That statement is rather emphatic. Even Robespierre defined ownership of property, putting a limit on what the owner has right to. That being so, you play round with Bolshevism, thinking you will get OUT of a duty ? Is that it ? Or is it just chicken- headed on your part ? This pinkness at afternoon tea parties.
People from East Europe, who have been over NEXT to Bolshevised countries, see different.
People that have been up against Red Bolshevism financed by Schiff in New York and Rothschild in London, see different.
If you wait too long, you may see. So far I have never met any English who believed in the abolition of personal ownership.
I see you have lost the habit of witan, the witenagemot and the town meeting. If you don't grow or find a leader, you may have to wait for
? some kindhearted Bavarian, or Hungarian to come free you from the Jews of New York.
Do I exaggerate ?
DO YOU think that there is any basic, essential difference between a committee of kikes in LONDON betraying the United States of America and a gang of kikes in New York selling up England, and putting mortgages all over your island ? Do you think that freedom and the roast beef of old England, or roast beef of old Argentine, consists in taking orders from a gang of Jews in New York ? Potatoes and point [? ] for yours, if potatoes, and point to where the roast beef had been or might have been.
I know it hasn't been stylish to read U. S. A. history in England. Lord Bryce and a few exceptions looked at American history. However, along in 1863 the United States was sold up the river. Ikleheimer handed it over to Rothschild. Can't let 'em print national money, all American money must be controlled by the DEBT. And the debt controlled by the Rothschilds and their associated fellow Episcopalians.
I know, it was clever to send Willie over to New York City to look after your interests and get information as to how Washington was conducting the United States' business. A nice little TUBE instituted.
? that ends it. To send boys from Omaha to Singapore to die for British monopoly and brutality is not the act of an American patriot.
#12 (February 26, 1942) U. S. (B17) AMERICA WAS INTENTIONS
The Honor of the United States of America is NOT concerned with becoming an arsenal.
The men who wintered at Valley Forge did not suffer those months of intense cold and hunger with the design, or in the hope that Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Virginia, the union of the colonies would one day be able to stir up wars between other countries in order to sell them munitions.
I don't want, the last thing I want, is that any harm should come to Uncle Sam's Army and Navy. The Navy is, some, of it, gone where I can't much help it. The Army can get on all right if it stays where it ought to be, namely on the North American continent.
I certainly do NOT want American's young blood shed in an assinine attempt to wreck all European civilization. I don't want it Dunkirked, and I would like for Mr. C. Gessler to go on getting his bath at Waikiki, if it ain't too late to mention the subject. I have heard said that Aguinaldo had and has as good a right to the Island of Luzon as George Washington had to Virginia. I am not a Philippine specialist. I have read on fair authority, namely on that of at least one participant, that the British troops after the last war were about fed up with some features of English government.
Dunkirk is one way to keep troops from showing their feelings.
Whether American air destroys the memory, I am not prepared to state. John Devey kept his till ripe old age; and I am reminded of his quotation from Burke on the penal laws, "an elaborate contrivance as well fitted
? for the expression, impoverishment and degradation of a people, and the debasement in them of human nature itself as ever preceded from the perverted ingenuity of man. "
Well, as Prattling Nelson is telling you, you haven't seen anything YET. And it has been forgotten that the 18 years of Irish Parliament, 1782- 1800, followed close on our American revolution, preceding the French [of] 89. That is, if it isn't rank pretense that any non-Irish American knows it, save by odd chance.
For indeed is there much analogy in it for North America ? There is for South American countries. Our South American policy hasn't yet got as far as the Times. A Celt will soon be as rare in Ireland as a Red Indian on the shores of Manhattan.
Perhaps it would be unwise to see too deep for analogies. Palmerston, Lord John Russell and the Times, intending their utterance to apply only to the Pope and the King of Naples, had been advocating the right of every people to choose their own rulers. [By that allusion, I mean short, that they] had a word for it before the Atlantic Conference.
What am I getting at with all this which what, what which ? Well, the moral behind any reference to John Devey is that Oireland kept hold of something. Call it the soul of the Irish nation. Kept hold of it thru 700 years of oppression, bloody oppression, not tea party conversation.
And the Americans, the U. S'ers, have started a fine government in 1776. Couldn't keep it a century and have now plum forgotten it ever existed.
It is to be supposed that you are all running round hot and bothered, like headless chickens, no man understanding another. And the pathological brainstorm in the White House after years of robbing the country dipping into the Treasury, years of frothing at the mouth about Mussolini and Hitler, in mid January comes out with a discourse and EVERY
? single item in it that has a trace of sanity is IMITATED from Mussolini or Hitler.
After 20 years [of] judaic propaganda Lenin Trotsky stuff crowding American history out of the schools, wild inferiority hate against Europe, here old Delano comes out with a mixed bag, in which two thirds of the program is fascist. With, of course, the essential parts missing.
Well now what causes this ? Twenty years late, just 20 years late as Amerikanishly usual. The same old American time lag, leading the world from the back seat as usual.
Amid all which flurry there is much that I am sure of.
This war is part of a process that has been going on for some time. And Roosevelt never lied with mere typically Rooseveltian fluency than when he bleated out his sick blah about wanting to keep YOU (that is you, the American people, and your children and your grandchildren) out of war.
A clean man would have been content to keep peace in his own time and trust his children to follow example. By continued bosh about Europe, which his mental and ethical level is much too low to reach he tipped you into war with the Jew Asia and you are most of you his accomplices
Nevertheless I am convinced of at least one thing. The present war should NOT be allowed to degenerate into a 30 years or even ten years beano for Knudson and the other sustainers of speed-ups and sweating, chain table.
Work 'em up in six years, was the old Jamaica slave owners system. Do the young men, and only young men can stand it, last SIX years at the Knudson band assembly systems ? Jews paid by Schiff in New York got
? hold of Russia and turned the whole land into a sweat shop. Watch your step, brother, it CAN happen to you.
Nothing here about winning the war or not winning it. Wars are not won by sweat shops alone. They are not won by profiteers ONLY. I mean the profiteers win PROFITS, but they do NOT win wars. They start war, but they do not start them in order that any particular nation shall win them.
You can swipe all South America and end up ruined. You can end up with your farms ALL ruined by South American competition INSIDE a customs ring. Dumping of cheaper products is not stopped by mere LACK of customs wall.
If there are any New Englanders, if there are any Americans who have BEEN American for three centuries, or two centuries, or one century, any whose forebears constructed the nation, it is time for 'em to get together and think. It is time for them to break the spell of the Knudson and Stimson slop.
Army [regulations] make it unethical to assert that a plane can not be in two places at once. That is the Knox, Stimson, Roosevelt coherence. Possibly new arms manuals will be issued. It seems unlikely that Stimson will bring luck to an army. Military honor has existed. Stimson is unaware of ANY such component in the life of an army. I don't think Henry is a very good bet.
I refer to his absolute and TOTAL lack of any sense of honor whatsoever, let alone the fine honor that has in the past inhered in the concept of the solider and officer. Three generations of c[h]anting parsons are back of that fishface. As to Knox, well your worst enemies hope you will keep him. A child of four [? ]. I am making these rather gross allusions with a purpose. That is the faint wavering hope that something will wake you. That some phrase will penetrate the hypnotic
? or dope trance. These two men were distinctly NOT chosen by the people. No member of the Democratic Party would do particular dirts. Some [of] these decrepit hacks are chosen as instrument.
That is O. K. from one point of view, point of view of tyranny. The over lord or autocrat must be served. If his own party will NOT follow him into certain messes, he must go outside his own party.
Why not lay a wreath on the grave of the elective system ?
"Here lies John Jones, he is not dead but sleepeth. " Or here lies democracy.
By God if I was dead, I think I'd admit it.
The question is, if two or three sane men, in the bog of Rooseveltian fuddlement can ANYwhere meet and cohere, and clarify their mental perceptions, they should or could, could or should, begin to wonder WHERE the country is coming OUT, "coming out AT" is, I believe, the phrase current.
Are you headed for a CHEAP, ten cent kike, Blumstein, Blumenstein, Zukor, tawdry imitation of nazism, or say for the moment, of fascism ? VOID of all vital content. And if you mean to imitate it, are you going to emulate, or to vie ? Are you going to try to have as GOOD a brand of the corporate State as is now provided in Europe ? If not, why not ?
You have the least desirable member of the teempin [? ] North American population now at the head of it.
The people have been lied to, betrayed, hog swoggled, and you can't just rub all that out. The question is WHAT of tomorrow morning ? Where do you go from HERE ?
? Thirty years intensive production of synthetic products in order to attack the Japanese colony of Australia in 1947 ? or 1971 ? AND IN THE INTERIM, what of your INTERNAL government ?
Any syndical organization ? Or just Russian mess and chaos, just Soviets run by the Warburgs ?
IS there ANY American consciousness, as distinct from Fortune, and New Yorker hysteria, with fatty what's-his-name Woollcott weeping into the megaphones ? Or the lowest common denominator Mr. Swing whining into the atmosphere that the Americans are humiliated. There must, damn it, there must be traces of the American RACE left somewhere on the American continent. The race that set up the United States government.
Have they lost all sense of coherence ? Is American lucidity dead ?
#13 (March 2, 1942) U. S. (B18) NAPOLEON, ETC.
Monsieur Bonaparte. Napoleon I, made several mistakes, but it is generally conceded that he possessed military ability. Several of his discoveries lie outside the range of my subject but I shall probably be permitted to remind you of one of his dicta, namely, You can't conquer a map.
Not only do the main geographic features of our planet remain fairly stationary, but the nature of the soil and of the climate can not be altered suddenly even by the greediest politician, or most ignorant man hater and Knudson/Stakhalevite.
The AIM in all the more important human endeavors must count for SOMEthing. And you can not get to San Francisco by going to Boston. Granted ? Or NOT granted.
? No one has examined the genesis of the "muddle thru theory in old England. " No one so far as I know has taken the faintest interest in my citation of the Jew prosecuting attorney, for one of America's largest, oldest historic cities.
"All I'm interested in is BUNK," he said to me. Meaning that BUNK, falsification, was his sole interest. Seeing what you can put over. This is one thing from the late P. T. Barnum, from a music hail artist, a circus owner. It is the prestidigitator's job to illude. That's what he is paid for.
It may take another 40 or 80 years to get any of you calm enough, ever again, to ask yourselves whether this is the desirable legal attitude, whether this is the beau ideal, the ne plus ultra, the summum desiderium for a public official, engaged regularly in great municipal law courts. It is open to doubt whether there are six men listening now to this broadcast who are capable of facing this question. If there are, let 'em find six others. Some day you will all have to face it, and face all of its implications, not merely one of 'em.
Some day the remnants of the American people will begin to wonder WHICH side was right. They will wonder whether the choice was wise. They will even begin to wonder which side of WHAT. Which side stood for which PRINCIPLE, not merely stood for which interest.
Hank Wallace has shown up the INTEREST. Gold. Nothing else uniting the three governments, England, Russia, United States of America. THAT IS the interest--gold, usury, debt, monopoly, class interest, and possibly gross indifference and contempt for humanity.
Now if you know anything whatsoever of modern Europe and Asia, you know that HITLER stands for putting men over machines. If you don't know that, you know NOTHING. And beyond that you either know or do not know that Stalin's regime considers humanity as NOTHING save
? raw material. Deliver so many carloads of human MATERIAL at the consumption point.
That is the LOGICAL result of materialism If you assert that men are dirt, that humanity is MERELY material, that is where you come out. And the old Georgian train robber is perfectly logical If all things are merely MATERIAL man is material and the system of ANTI-man treats man as matter.
Now your President exceeds his powers in demanding that you adhere to his politics As Commander in Chief of the Army he can command you to assail enemy forces but even Congress in its most ABJECT and servile moments has not conceded this blood-thirsty maniac the control of your OPINIONS
In fact as long as ANY law is left whatsoever in the United States of America which no Jew and no Roosevelt will LIKE having left there, but as long as it is left there, powers do NOT inhere in officials unless delegated TO them by law. Thus when a lying Dutchman tells you that you have GOT to prefer Bolshevism to Fascism, you can ask: WHY ? Who says so ? AND if you are more than cattle ? If you rate yourselves above cows and sheep, you will in defense of that rating have to ask YOURSELVES whether men are more important than mere machinery.
Whether you intend to be slaves, lifelong slaves, hereditary slaves to machinery and whether you propose to sell your children and your grand children into long lasting slavery to usurers and to machinery.
I mean you will have to make up your MINDS. YOU can not live on cold iron, you can not live on airplane spare parts, YOU can not live well without LAWS which even the officials obey.
And for however long your answer to me is Jim's answer "No boss, no body here in America is INTERESTED in taking things as seriously as you do," there will nevertheless and finally come a time when at least a
? few of you will have to face things or DIE; you will have to THINK or die. Hard choice for the daisy pickers, but a real choice.
Roosevelt's gang have got you hitched up with Russia. Not a very good bet. Russians attack general Winter. Mightn't it be that Joe Bloodsucker KNOWS his army will starve in three or four months ANYHOW unless they break the Germans before that ? Why suppose that winter attack means STRENGTH on the part of the Russians ?
Not my job to speculate on military conditions, but might be. My job, as I see it, is to save what's left of America, and keep up some sort of civilization somewhere or other. I decline to abet the destroyers. I decline, so far as the light is conceded me, I decline to climb trees to catch fish. That's an old one, 24 hundred years old.
Mencius referred t, the folly of starting a war for something you couldn't GET; something the war could not bring to the monarch Mencius was talking to. So he said, climb trees to catch fish.
In the present juncture I refer to the POSSIBILITY that even the swiping and squashing of South America and of Canada may not catch even South America and Canada. Suckers, of course, you will get hold of some of 'em. Am I fanciful ?
Look at least at the possibility that this mere distention of U. S. borders MAY not be the way to get what you are battling for. It WON'T be unless you pay some attention to what happens INSIDE America.
It won't be if you lose ALL internal structure. When the turnpike depends upon Congress, local control is lost. Well, that was said a long time ago.
The central government must in modern life have some powers. But as human beings it might be well to ask how many powers, and which powers ?
? And IGNORANCE and feeding on lies won't help you to make a lucid decision. You go yellin' hurray for Litvinov. Do you believe in the ABO LITION of all private ownership ?
I'll say you do not. You have colluded in the OLD British habit of employing the savage to wipe out the civilized rival. Your school has been hooded. You have had a SLOW one put over you. For 80 years, moving imperceptibly, an inch here and an inch there, you have been euchred out of your history, out of knowledge of history, both American and world history. It can not be done, said Henry Adams to Santayana. Oh, you wish to teach at Harvard. It can not be DONE. Henry Adams said he had tried it. Yes, I came LATE, but I am still a bit ahead of the band wagon. Beard, Bowers, D. R. Dewey (not Tommie) been gittin' down TOWARD but not TO the real bedrock. Get on and PUSH. Get into the diggin' and LEARN the face of American history. ADAMS, John Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, also Brooks Adams. It's 40 years late for Brooks Adams, but you can't do it sooner. And in watching contemporary flim-flam, do at least TRY to sort things OUT.
DO you believe in the Homestead or in communal ownership ? If you believe in the Homestead, WHY fight FOR the abolition of ALL private ownership ?
In taking sides in a quarrel do at least try to find out what's fighting WHICH. Do you stand for the obliteration of Finland ? If not, why fight against Finland. Do you stand, those of you who are above goose gangster level, for the obliteration of all occidental civilization ? If NOT, why join the Anglo-Jewish clique which has been and still is out professedly and openly for the obliteration of Europe ? Western Civilization, all of it that you have still got.
Our forebears made a DISTINCT contribution. The Jesuits in Paraguay made a distinct contribution, but they were wiped out for discovering things. We were wiped out largely in the old 1860's.
? A man who ain't got any foresight gets kicked in the tail. Man fed on lies and lackin' in foresight got kicked in the Guam.
DO you think that is an ISOLATED instance of the hind effects of lackin' foresight ? The starve-the-enemy theme has been sung for a long time on your Victrolas.
Go back and examine it. The cornered weasel will fight. And your MIS-leaders have been out for some years annoying several things larger than weasels. Was it an error ? ARE you going to start NOW trying to evaluate their misdemeanors, or are you all of you going to go plum 100% haywire and stay so ?
DO you believe in the homestead or in communal ownership ? If you do NOT believe in the abolition of ALL private ownership, and the abolition of ALL private initiative, watch your Nelson. He has already got a half-Nelson on you. And if you got to please pore ole Hank Wallace and go on buying all the world's gold from now till the terminus of eternity, you got a day's work comin', with 24 hours labor. And no trade union organization, legally recognized, to put up a tombstone: here lies the 8-hour day.
#14 (March 6, 1942) U. S. (B19) WHY PICK ON THE JEW ?
Well, why pick on the Jew ? I have heard the term "Jewish impertinence," in fact Gaudier-Brzeska used to use it. But I think it was a fellow named Brooks, along in January, had got 'em beat, and the name ain't Hebrew and I don't reckon he is even a crypto. At any rate some murking broadcaster tellin' the world or the Italian residents in the United States that America loves Italy and only got a grudge against the regime. Waaal, as Franklin Delano was recently cursing out the Italian for what they did in 1911, before the word fascist existed, he certainly has got NO alibi, no alibi whatsoever. Now all the United States did to
? show how it loved Italy was to lie like billyOh for 20 years, and try to starve Italy into submission: tariff wall, refusal of Italian goods, refusal of emigrants. What way is that to show love ?
DOUBTless somebody who wants 30 years sweat show now wants Italian workin' men in the United States to go work--OVERTIME.
Well Charlie Marx had a word for it. That part of Marx is sound, and if bygones are gone by, and IF the Americans love the Eyetalians, there is a way to show it. Why not have a little open communication ? Why not print the Charter of Labor ? Why not study how far the Italian law code, the new law code, being published under Mussolini's regime IMPROVES on the old ones ? How many of you have heard of the Charter of Labor ? How many of you have stopped to think whether trade unions ought to have legal status ? And the RESPONSIBILITY that goes with such status ? If you are going [toward] fascism or nazism why not do it with open EYE, why not learn what these systems of government are ? Why not ask and learn how far they are compatible with American habits, [what] is good in 'em, and wherein their strength consists, INSTEAD of merely lying and cussing and trying to kill 'em on the assumption (if you can call it by so mild a term) that they are something they ain't ?
Conditions in German factories ? How do they compare ? I have seen some dirty lying in my time. I can't hold an inquest on every separate lie, but I have seen something, I have heard something, and then I have seen the American reports of 'em.
I have noticed DIScrepancies. I have heard the statement, I mean I HEARD it while it was being said. I heard Mussolini say "WE need years of peace to get on with our internal affairs. " And I have seen it reported next day as a war speech. Twenty years of that sort of thing do not show LOVE of Italy. Not on the part of the reporters or news owners. In fact Mr. Brooks, if it was Brooks, is showing a new love, store label not yet taken off.
? Also Mussolini talking about the fight to grow enough wheat to feed Italy as being the kind of fight he prefers. Well, that was the effort that brought out American hostility all right enough.
Will you lay off it ? And if so, when so ? And while you are thinking, if so, on laying off, there is something else to lay off of ? Namely, a system of lending money to foreign nations in order to have a war every 19 years.
That system I suggest you look into. Your British Allies were scared that a few rackets were bustin'. They started a war to uphold a state of
things that just were NOT UPHOLDABLE. Instead of admitting that they would have to change it, they started a war singing the International and running up the cross, sickle, and hammer. Do your Allies BELIEVE in communal ownership ? They do not. Do the Chinamen believe in dud cars sent over to Singapore, on not very favorable conditions, and on not very explicit statements as to who gets commissions (several commissions) ? I doubt it.
Very nice to hear, I mean you are mebbe comforted to HEAR that you got 100 million Chinese soldiers all ready to die for democracy. I mean if you are a democracy. But you ain't got 'em. Well, why lean on what ain't thaar ?
There are plenty of people right here in Europe whose views on many subjects do not coincide with my own, but we have, most of us, some points of agreement. Nan King, Manchu Kuo, both of them on the map of old Asia and on the map of New Asia. And TWO points that I would, mebbe three points, like to get into your binnacles. ONE that America COULD have stayed out of this war. Two, that IF America had stayed neutral the war would now be over and America might have had a hand in composing the differences; might not have so many hush hush agreements to buy; purchase, absorb such a lot of South American stuff we don't need and can't use, cornering the market as usual, but mebbe
? not on stuff other folks want to buy. Well, exchange is said to be a fountain of wealth.
Europe is fighting for something that is not merely material, But even so, a sane and natural exchange of products between them that have 'em, places that grow 'em, and places where they don't grow or don't grow so easy is certainly a factor in a plan for permanent ease and peace. Of course if you are going to work 18 or 20 hours a day from now till the day after doomsday to buy all the world's gold and silver, to content Uncle Henry A. Wallace, that may be a question of taste (mighty queer taste) on your part.
Mebbe Henry has erred (not the first time), mebbe he was kite flying to see how much hook, line, and sinker the American people would swallow. 'Tain't going to do Brazil any good if the whole of Europe goes back to drinking java and mocha coffee. And that ain't half of the story.
Cutting your nose off to spite your face is a very old saying.
Black lists are nothing new in world history. [FCC transcript: Hitherto there have been signs of weakness and waning-- --, not signs of rising power. I mean-- --and following the regime had imposed them. Not strong, confident powers.
And then, the-- --of some of your allies. In fact, why did you take up with those gangs ? Two gangs. Jews' gang in London, and Jew murderous gang over in Moscow ? Do you like Mr. Litvinov ?

Do the people who live in painted, neat white houses, with their little sign for the delivery box, erected in 1790, built in 1815, and do these folks really approve that Mr. Litvinov and his gang, and all that he stands for ?

#15 (March 8, 1942) U. K. (B15) GOLD: ENGLAND
The ENEMY is Das Leihkapital. They're working day and night, pickin' your pockets. Every day and all day and all night pickin' your pockets AND pickin' the Russian workin' man's pockets. They call it international loan kapital. It is not international, it is not hypernational. It is subnational. A quicksand UNDER the nations, destroying all nations, destroying all law and government, destroying the nations, one at a time, Russian empire and Austria, 20 years past, France yesterday, England today.
Gold is a coward. Gold is not the backbone of nations. It is their ruin. A coward, at the first breath of danger gold flows AWAY, gold flows OUT of the country.
England don't GROW it. There is no gold sproutin' up in England next morning to replace what is gone. Taking usury rotteth the heart. I know you don't believe it. It has been going on for some time. Art Golding a few years ago writin' the life of his famous ancestor, or perhaps I shouldn't say famous, one of the best Shakespearean poets, Arthur Golding, translator of Ovid's Metamorphoses, about the best book of poetry in our language. Shakespeare learned from it.
? Well, his namesake and 84th generation or whatever, descendant points out that even in the time of Queen Elisabeth the Earl of Oxford was falling. He was handing over his rents to some shyster in return for a fixed income. Ten thousand, or whatever it was, a year and then the shyster had leave to squeeze what he could out of the peasants and yeomen, out of the men working the land.
Decline of the feudal system. Ole F. M. Ford used to talk about that. Liberty is not a right but a duty. [To] own property, not a right but a duty. I wonder how long it is going to take you to learn that. Rot and laziness cutting in under, too lazy to FUNCTION as lords and proprietors, the nobility sold out to the shysters.
In my 12 years in London, how many people did I meet (meeting as you might say the flower of the writing class in your island), how many people did I meet who had read their own history, how many who had read Anthony Trollope ? It was said as extenuation of Professor Saintsbury, "at any rate he recognized the merit of Trollope. " Owning property not a right but a duty. That statement is rather emphatic. Even Robespierre defined ownership of property, putting a limit on what the owner has right to. That being so, you play round with Bolshevism, thinking you will get OUT of a duty ? Is that it ? Or is it just chicken- headed on your part ? This pinkness at afternoon tea parties.
People from East Europe, who have been over NEXT to Bolshevised countries, see different.
People that have been up against Red Bolshevism financed by Schiff in New York and Rothschild in London, see different.
If you wait too long, you may see. So far I have never met any English who believed in the abolition of personal ownership.
I see you have lost the habit of witan, the witenagemot and the town meeting. If you don't grow or find a leader, you may have to wait for
? some kindhearted Bavarian, or Hungarian to come free you from the Jews of New York.
Do I exaggerate ?
DO YOU think that there is any basic, essential difference between a committee of kikes in LONDON betraying the United States of America and a gang of kikes in New York selling up England, and putting mortgages all over your island ? Do you think that freedom and the roast beef of old England, or roast beef of old Argentine, consists in taking orders from a gang of Jews in New York ? Potatoes and point [? ] for yours, if potatoes, and point to where the roast beef had been or might have been.
I know it hasn't been stylish to read U. S. A. history in England. Lord Bryce and a few exceptions looked at American history. However, along in 1863 the United States was sold up the river. Ikleheimer handed it over to Rothschild. Can't let 'em print national money, all American money must be controlled by the DEBT. And the debt controlled by the Rothschilds and their associated fellow Episcopalians.
I know, it was clever to send Willie over to New York City to look after your interests and get information as to how Washington was conducting the United States' business. A nice little TUBE instituted.
