War Hysteria and Ezra
Pound

I had the good fortune this weekend to read Michael
Reck's excellent 1973 biography of the great poet Ezra Pound. In this age
of terrorism and war hysteria, the subject of the "Cantos" sublime creator
is timelier than ever.
At the beginning of the U.S. entry into the
World War II, Pound found himself living in Rapallo, Italy. Pound was not
only America's most renowned poet, but an enemy of Jewish supremacism,
international bankers and the Roosevelt Administration. Pound attempted to
climb aboard with the last trainload of Americans headed for the frontier,
but was angrily thrown off the train by State Department officials who
despised his sympathies for the Duce.
During the war, Italian
radio gave him the opportunity to host a regular radio program in which he
commented on various important issues of the day while avoiding saying
anything strictly treasonous. Pound criticized "old rubberlegs" in the
White House and deplored the senseless Anglo-American aggression that
exploded into world war. At war's end Pound found himself under arrest for
treason. Loathe tohang the most influential literary figure of that time,
a federal court declared the slightly eccentric poet insane and committed
him to St. Elizabeth's Lunatic Asylum in Washington DC. Poor Ezra
languished in the booby hatch for twelve years until an international
campaign led by mostly Leftist literati secured his release.
In
this new era of Jew-induced war hysteria, we must remember that it is the
truly "best and brightest" that get locked away while the folks that are
really out of their minds - the Israel-first millenialist Evangelicals and
the Likud Bloc Neo-Cons - freely preach madness and destruction. This time
around, though, the NWO has bit off more than it can chew. Bush and
Company want to destroy Islamic Civilization in its entirety. They will
certainly fail in this task. It is up to us to be ready to pounce when our
time comes. We must, however, have the courage to speak out and act. It
was Pound himself who wrote: "If a man isn't willing to take some risks
for his opinions, either his opinions are no good or he's no good."
