Ezra Pound documentary
2004
He exposed the international conspiracy of WWI, WWII & the Federal Reserve. Eustace Mullins whole career was inspired by Ezra Pound
This video does an impressive job of describing the important events of a long and fascinating life, and does it in less than 20 minutes. I wish it had been ten times as long.
Same!
This behind the E top middle and bottom (all curls)
I first heard of Pound lesening to Eustice Mullens lectures.
Great introduction to a literary genius , a sample to whet the appetite into a journey of further exploration and knowledge. Thanks
I recently wrote an Ezra Pound tribute poem titled Hellhole and was immediately asked why I support fascism. Boy, did that turn into a long and interesting convo. Anyway, excellent short documentary. Informative and succinct! I'm glad I stumbled on this CZcams channel.
These short documentaries are as aesthetically pleasing as they are informative. What I like best about them is the absence of any kind of prescriptivism, censure or special pleading. Great work. 👌
I saw his house in Rapallo, Italy and ate at the wonderful restaurant where he used to have lunch.
T Y for this documentary, covered a lot in brief time. It was startling to hear that Pound was arrested in Italy by our military, treated cruelly as a traitor. then sent to us for "imprisionment". Never knew that. The reason may have been that Pound spoe against the current economic system and encouraged the researcher Eustace Mullins (a man with a bad rep.true or not) into reporting the 1910 secret plan to begin the Federal Reserve Bank (privately owned) whereby a small group of bankers would, over time, inherit control over all us money. No wonder he was declared non compos mentis. Don't mess with the bankers.
Eustice indeed was also a victim of Ezra’s foes…
Ezra is my hero, he knew the evil and pain. Economic wars are always with the kings.
Ahem... nein... faenerator.
Eustace Mullins brought me here.
Eunuch Muslims? What are you talking about Chuck?
Yes, Mullins brought me here as well.
It is a beautiful song to freedom, to the right to fly, to find your own essence and your dreams. Amo la poesía de Ezra Pound...
Based by the Pound
Good video but a little disappointed you never mentioned Eustace Mullins 🤷♂️
just "a little"?
@@rjchiedog There can only be one narrative ! Then , as now.
Journalist/author/investigator Mike King brought me here👍🏼
The truth this world miraculously ignores, avoids. Biblical isnt it!!
@@RebekahOMalley777not only ignores , but knowing kept hidden like so many other aspects of life , to keep the intended economic slavery in its subjugated form .
A victim of humanity’s ancient foes! Indeed my favorite poet of the 20th century…
I’m realated Ezra pound my great any did ancestor dna stuff and found out we were related to him
That's awesome!
Where are you from?
@@salmonsandwich3183 she could scribble something in the moonlight.
@@salmonsandwich3183 Precious little twit.
wow that's amazing
he is my favorite poet and due to activism and politics they locked him in a mental hospital and treated him like garbage he had zero mental illness he was just willing to speak truth to power. a man name Eustace Mullins was his protégé and worked for the library of congress. Eustace wrote a lot of books and mentioned Ezra quite often because Ezra taught him everything he knew.
12 years was way too much of a harsh punishment
You have to keep in mind who he was exposing.
Without trial..
Pound remains my model for what constitutes a good line of poetry. I was very fortunate to study him under Hugh Kenner. I like to think he'd like my work. He'd certainly see a bit of himself.
Terrible that he was so overcome by hatred.
19:17 That Modernism "encouraged rhythms in the sequence of a musical phrase." I recall the rest of that quote reads "as distinct from the sequence of a metronome."
Surely Walter Benjamin was thinking of Pound when he referred to Fascism as "the aestheticization of politics."
Ezra pound was based man. He had the Aryan Spirit
@@N.Narwhal Ezra Pound was a transnational elitist, and the elite he honored could never be embodied by large populations like "Aryans." He found it in various populations, and it would never have numbered more than say 1000 people on Earth in any given era.
He'd have agreed with Nietzsche's dictum that a race of people is nature's way of producing about 5 or 10 individuals - and the rest of it was pretty much just "herd." Aryans included.
A beautiful man with a beautiful soul, Ezra Loomis Pound, Poet, Genius, Teacher, rest in peace, who knows what could have been?
E pound? Top middle and bottom such a classical scene with a huge dot behind it
Robert Anton Wilson brought me here.
Bob is the homie
What a strange comment section. We got RAW, fascist apologists, ...
@@calumfoster-bayliss7122define fascist.
Robert Anton Wilson was one -of -a -kind, too
The golden apple
It's only later on in life that I've come to the realization of just how destructive usury is. There isn't a country in the world that isn't negatively affe Ted from usury, debt, compound interest excessive loans, etc. It ought to be banned outright. Imagine the suffering that would be alleviated versus the few who'd have to find honest work.
I heard he was a couragious man,a rare charactertrade.I hear nothing here about his biography.Sterile referrences wich are easy to misconceive,yes.But does'nt courage is worth mentioning?11.03.

Pound was correct on everything.
I agree
@@jesskasb And?
@@jesskasb everything
There is no place for antisemitism in the world. That is correct.

A piece of educational history: 3:17
Ezra Pound was the American Solzhenitsyn
Irony: when the sane drowning in debt institutionalize a usury abolitionist
The untranslateable line feels unwritable
A great man of literature ... so sad that he didn't have the sense to stick to what he was good at. He was damn lucky to have influential friends .....
Mary was his daughter with Olga Rudge. Dorothy had a son, too, with an Egyptian father.
He was an egyptologist, not an egyptian!
@@Nichilistaiconoclasta Thank you; I stand corrected.
This is counterinitiatory.
what does that mean?
Can anyone explain to me why “the wasteland” is a great poem. I couldn’t imagine anything more cynical and dull.
Dave T. The Wasteland is not a great poem, even though Pound did his best to improve the original manuscript, cutting it by 2/3( see the mss in the Beinecke Library at Yale University, where I read them about 55 years ago).From one who has never been a big fan of Eliot’s poetry.
His poetry was beautiful. His politics was was flawed. He was like the Kanye West of the 40s.
His politics were not flawed, and do not ever compare the likes of Kanye West to a world-artist like Ezra Pound.
@@moviereviews1446 fair enough, man.
Though they were both antisemitic and embraced fascist philosophy.
@@scottjohnson2588 Kanye is not a fascist.
@@moviereviews1446 that's debatable. He just said he admires Hitler; he's hanging out with Nick Fuentes, an actual fascist; and Milo.
זאג ניט קיין מאל!
Smrt fašizmu!🇭🇷🇷🇸
Pound had a gift for creating imagery with words. However, his anti-Jew stance was clearly seen in much of his writings. That he took inspiration from Hitler is a sad fact that relegates him to the dustbin of antisemitic history.
Do you falsely identify as a "jew"? Only Arabs are Semetic and I do not dislike Arabs so I am not anti-Semetic. "jews" are not Semetic, White, Asian, Black nor a religion but are their own unique, unnatural and unnecessary mixed racial category and false identity.
The German National Socialists and Mussolini's Fascist party had more in common than people realize. Are you aware that the WW2 conflict between USA, Soviet Union, Britain and France against the National Socialists was not just a war against Hitler and the National Socialist party, but it ran much deeper than that... the German economy was the strongest in Europe in early 1900's, outperforming all others. Their products could be made cheaper and were better quality than everyplace else in Europe..
There’s nothing wrong with being anti-iew when iews are doing bad things.
@@Smudgeroon74 did you ever wonder how that came about. Look deeper
@@stormrider1375the line of Shem is not the same as the line of Canaan. Shem sons were fair haired.
terrible audio and writing......why bother.
Yeah, that woman’s voice shits me off. I wasted five seconds of my life.
I have always not liked Ezra Pound that much. All the stuff with the Nazis made me look at him very negatively. Though I guess you have to separate the artist from his work. Great poems, horrible person.
You're brainwashed and Pound was not. He knew the truth
So you admire his poems but dislike Pound as a man. How can that be right?
Supposedly he changed after his meetings with Allen Ginsberg. He should not have been punished the way he was for exercising his right to oppose the war.
sounds like a cool guy
