Not a single literary question.

Arsenic a metal? industrial applications such as farming? c'mon

SO we now have the answer to insect seeding!!!! The answer is the get the nymphs over and over each year and to keep adding more nymphs ever year for years to establish a population if the conditions are right!!!

I was John’s research assistant when I was in grad school. Great guy who is very passionate about his work. He made me a major Pound fan, and through him I got to correspond with Pound’s daughter and with Pound scholars from around the world. Great experience.

Pathetic! Of course this nimrod is based out of Idaho. Yes, people understand that there were different types of fascism. Sickening defense of Pound broadcasting out of fascist Italy during the war. Did he even bother to read the transcripts of Pound’s radio broadcasts? Pound was a fascist and his Cantos was about his hatred of Jews. He said so himself.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Thanks for this

Just that this professor supports the dropping of the atomic bomb on civilians made me stop following the lecture. Japan was already surrendering and the US needed an opportunity to test that bomb on real war situation, some analysts have cogently argued

Everything Pound predicted is coming true.

So if Berengia has been disproven, which it has, would you lose funding for proposing a fraudulent thesis?

Think it would be best to fish, hike and live in natural world before trying to analyze this writer and his works. It is not hyperbole or symbolic to feel sick after losing a big fish. The simplistic truth is the beauty...those that know the truth are gripped by its recognition, those that don't have something to lecture about 😂😂😂

As if American GIs could decipher hidden messages in radio broadcasts

Too many archeologists have spent too much time and energy trying to defend their dogmatic beliefs and not enough time and energy doing archeological work with the courage to dig deeper. If the archeological community hadn't been so arrogant to believe they had it all figured out fifty years ago we'd have a lot better understanding of the peopling of the Americas today. I just feel bad for the archeologists who did keep an open mind and dug deep enough to find pre-clovis artifacts, only to be attacked and discredited by their know-it-all colleagues. Some of whom suffered real damage to their carriers.

Me ne frego😅😊😊😊

Deers are immune to the poison

His enthusiasm for fascism is infectious!

فرق كبير بين الشعر الغربي الاوروبي والشعر العربي الفصيح والله لو لم اكن عربيا وعلمت بجمال الشعر العربي لبكيت سبحان من علم البيان

At the moment of my viewing this, the number of followers of this channel was 666…

I'm an Ancient Englishman and far removed from these fascinating events. This was a wonderful insightful presentation and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank You.

Hallucinative urgency because no direct metaphors included - forced to create ideas

Fascism is the "Rule of law" the attempt to prosecute criminals.

Eustace Mullins is his protege.

What interests me about Chinese Americans of that era is the story of Chinese Americans in the Deep South. I came across a book called The Mississippi Chinese. I found it in a university library written in the 70s. The Chinese had a very different experience there than in the West.

Great history lesson!

I get how people can get sensitive about calling different religions myths. Odds are ours are too. It’s called syncretism.

Propaganda is now called education, total misdirection!!!

Idaho you da ho 😂😂😂

Thank you for this series!

The thing is, they did not know they were moving into a New World just like they could see the International Dateline. Of course it was drawn there yet. Who actually drew that by the way? And when you travel through Beringia, you wrap around east and west. Between those two islands, everything to the east is the Far West. Everything to the west is the Far East.

Mentally unfit for trial? Hahaha. They wouldn't dare put Pound on trial for fear of what he might say. Hear his wartime broadcasts and it's obvious.

It's 40 minutes in, can we get to Ezra Pound? Lol

Pound was opposed to usury: by extension, the usurers.

The battler battles demons, probably an abusive childhood. Ironic how Hemmingway became "punch drunk" later in life. I personally think Hemmingway had alcoholic dementia but also hit his head several times, maybe a combination of the two.

The Indians probably came before the pleistocene during the glacial minimum, if not long before that. Always been here

Pound was a very intelligent man, a great man, a true patriot and humanist

That makes me feel better. Pound wasn’t a Nazi he was an Italian Fascist. Much better.

People: winners write history Also people: nazis were the bad guys

Some interesting comments made, but I would argue that the oldest yew tree in UK is actually the Fortingall Yew, Perthshire, Scotland, although there are others that might also qualify.

No mention of Meadowcroft Rockshelter?

There's a number of crackpot statements made in this presentation. Humans were not moving into Europe 30k years ago, human already had Europe settled tens of thousands of years prior. And sharks are not a danger in this kelp highway hypothesis because humans were boating over the pacific, not swimming through kelp. Silly to think that humans can master aerodynamics and spring energy with arrows and bows but could not make water displacing floatational devices. A bell tent made of skins and supported with a tension frame of sticks, freshly smeared with blubber and brains, can float for days. Upside down of course. The hardest and most dangerous way to enter North America is to walk onto it. The fastest and easiest, and safest way to reach the western americas is to ride a floatational vessel across the currents. With arrows, javelins, and spears always at the ready, sharkes are lunch, not a danger.

great thanks

How many Fascist sympathizers have communist fellow traveler Ernest Hemingway come to bat for them in their dark night of the soul? Even better, during Pound's incarceration (which just barely dodged being a death penalty) three Library of Congress fellows, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden and Conrad Aiken, awarded the 1949 Bollingen Poetry Prize to Ezra for his Pisan Cantos. This was so controversial Congress passed a resolution that immediately discontinued the involvement of the Library of Congress with the prize. Pound is somehow antisemitic but FDR turning away a ship of 1000 Jews fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939 was not? Pound, Wyndham Lewis, H.P. Lovecraft, Gertrude Stein (who practically worked for Vichy), Robinson Jeffers (a more famous American poet at the time than T. S. Eliot but canceled for being antiwar), Yukio Mishima, and T. S. Eliot to a degree were the last vestiges of the Right in the arts, and high art (which was elitist) died with that generation before popular mass media art took over.

Anti-Semitism of the most extreme form was central to National Socialism. By contrast, Italian Fascism was racist only in the conventional sense of early twentieth-century Europe and during its first two decades not normally anti-Semitic. In fact, Jews were the group that showed the most support for Fascism per capita in Italy in the early days. Much of the queasiness expressed here re these regimes is selective outrage. We're meant to shudder over their youth groups when the Boy Scouts of America were militarized and armed to shoot antiwar activists tearing down pro-WWI posters in NYC of all places, Germans being the largest non-English speaking immigrant group in America at the time, the war was IMMENSILY UNPOPULAR.. The penalty for reporting from the front during WWI in the so-called "liberal democracies" (Britain and France) was the death penalty. After our ally Russia spiraled into a Bolshevik hell it was Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the postwar period that saved Spain from a Stalinist holocaust after the communists had raped her gold reserves (the second largest in the world) and executed thousands of priests and nuns and burned innumerable churches to the ground (None other than George Orwell hides in a burnt out church when the Left turns on each other after the May Days). Imagine Catholic Spain like another basket case Venezuela or Cuba today. Hitler didn't like Jews very much but the so-called "Holocaust" is an invented term - there is no mention of it before the Sixties - it is completely manufactured. If he wanted to exterminate them then why did he send over 50,000 to Palestine with piles of money (making him, in a sense, the Father of Israel). Why keep the Jews in Poland alive for years in a Ghetto there, why not liquidate them immediately? The Jews were just another group like the Russians, Marxists, gypsies, homosexuals Jehovah's Witnesses, etc that were put into the camps and died en masse, same as the Russians put tens of millions in their camps yet we're allies with them in WWII as the FDR admin and its fellow travelers and outright spies (he was the first prez to recognize the USSR formally reversing yrs and 3 presidents - he did so by ignoring the Holodomor starvation of the Ukrainians by the millions) never mentioned Soviet death camps (which Sartre later said were not to be mentioned because they were for love). Hitler is bad for getting prewar German lands back but we turn a blind eye to Stalin INVADING THE OTHER LARGER HALF OF POLAND and going into the Baltics, Finland, Hungary, E. Germany, etc shipping off hundreds of thousands of dissidents to sure death in Siberia and instituting Sovietization by suppressing national culture and executing undesirables. We spent half a century w/ thousands of nuclear weapons pointed at us as well, not by Hitler, but by Russians. Pound was far from the only one who brought up points like these. You may not have heard of Robinson Jeffers but pre-WWII he was the most famous American poet, more so than Eliot easily, but like Pound he was canceled for being antiwar. Gertrude Stein was of the right, not only a supporter of Vichy but actually working for Vichy. And it was none other than Library of Congress fellows T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden and Conrad Aiken, who gave the 1949 Bollingen Foundation prize to Ezra Pound for his 1948 Pisan Cantos, written during his barbaric captivity by US forces in Italy. The United States Congress passed a resolution that effectively discontinued the involvement of the Library of Congress with the prize after this brave act by these men. If you want to see a spectacular talk on Pound or Wyndham Lewis (another artist from the "right" side of the political aisle back then) look up Jonathan Bowden's incredible talks on them on KZbin, he also gave one on Eliot and H. P. Lovecraft - they're all phenomenal talks.

America is not the New World but the Old World with Civilizations that rival Mesopotamia and Egypt in Antiquity,....!

The Inuit did not need an ice free corridor to migrate. They did not require a coastal migration path either. Why then is it a requirement for migration at an earlier time to avoid the ice? I believe the paradigms are many and can fall under pressure from basic logic. Admusen proved their technology in the face of the paradigms in his time.

Thank you! This is such an excellent overview. One of the best on youtube. As a retired teacher, I applaud you and your team for creating all the visuallly detailed slides, and your relaxed interactive presentation.

I have fallen down the Ezra Pound rabbit hole and I've hit my head a fair few times

First of all Italian fascism had much more liberty than you have in United States today. Roosevelt was a fascist, just like Mussolini if you look at what he did during the great depression
