Dear Poundians:

I feel as if I should apologize for having started this thread--perhaps I
can make amends for it by bringing us back to Pound's own words and
encouraging some close reading:

"That is what the the jew is THERE to produce, war and more between goyim/
UNTIL UNTIL oh UNTIL all the goyim simultaneously wake up to the cause of
the trouble and determine to wipe out the root cause of the war, namely
YIDDERY [...] WELLLL In the mean time, die brothers, die, make a Chewisch
Yom Kippur, or other sort of sheenygogue festival."

This passage is not from Doob's version of the broadcasts, which end in
1943, but from an undated typescript for a broadcast, probably late in the
war.  These texts, which may or may not have been broadcast, are much more
vituperative and clear in their calls for anti-Jewish action.
