Peter Bi, This will make 4 cents between us. I have some 37 years in reading
Pound and Kung, and although I stumble now and then over the t-square (will
be 70 in 13 years) I'm still inspired by these masters.
    Here are more quotes from Pound in his own defense. He writes,
"...a dark room back of a bank, hung with deep purple curtains. No one must
see what happens." ( For explication see "Secrets of the Temple; How the
Federal Reserve Runs the Country" by William Greider, esp. Chapter 7 "The
God Almighty Dollar".
    "Am I American?" he wrote to Hubert Greekmore. "...Yes, and bugger the
present state of the country, the utter betrayal of the America
Constitution..."
"...only trying to tell the people of Europe and America how they could
avoid war by learning the facts about money."
"...I think the American system de jure is probably quite good enough..."
"...Does anyone have the faintest idea what I said?"
    Moody's comment hit the bullseye. "To seek to rectify democracy is to
honour its principles, not to despise it." If Pound would have given up on
democracy he would have sounded more like Spengler who concluded that
"Through money democracy becomes its own destroyer, after money has
destroyed intellect." Yet it would be unfair to call Spengler a Nazi, even
though the Nazi  found him more useful to their purposes than they did
Pound.
