00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.890 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.890 --> 00:00:16.790 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read from
this incredible collection.

00:00:16.790 --> 00:00:18.830 align:middle line:84%
The first section of
the poem "Prince Harry

00:00:18.830 --> 00:00:20.720 align:middle line:90%
Considers Visiting Auschwitz."

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:23.770 align:middle line:90%


00:00:23.770 --> 00:00:28.310 align:middle line:84%
This poem was written
like three four Februaries

00:00:28.310 --> 00:00:32.479 align:middle line:84%
ago now when first
it was discovered

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:40.940 align:middle line:84%
that Prince Harry had attended
an interesting Nazi costume

00:00:40.940 --> 00:00:42.170 align:middle line:90%
dress party.

00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:47.150 align:middle line:84%
And secondly, when Joseph
Ratzinger had become Pope.

00:00:47.150 --> 00:00:49.580 align:middle line:84%
Joseph Ratzinger had
been in Hitler Youth.

00:00:49.580 --> 00:00:54.680 align:middle line:84%
So, interesting
confluence of events.

00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:55.987 align:middle line:90%
Vesting orders.

00:00:55.987 --> 00:00:58.070 align:middle line:84%
So, this is written in the
form of vesting orders.

00:00:58.070 --> 00:01:01.820 align:middle line:84%
Vesting orders were orders
for seizure of property

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:06.860 align:middle line:84%
during World War II for
trading with the enemy, namely

00:01:06.860 --> 00:01:08.030 align:middle line:90%
Axis Powers.

00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:09.690 align:middle line:90%
Germany, for the most part.

00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:14.410 align:middle line:84%
And so, these are vesting orders
that the Prescott-Bush dynasty,

00:01:14.410 --> 00:01:19.370 align:middle line:84%
their family was visited
with for all of their trading

00:01:19.370 --> 00:01:21.540 align:middle line:90%
with the enemy.

00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:23.720 align:middle line:90%
So, it begins with a few quotes.

00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:26.390 align:middle line:84%
"There are no more ideologies
in the authentic sense

00:01:26.390 --> 00:01:27.740 align:middle line:90%
of false consciousness.

00:01:27.740 --> 00:01:31.190 align:middle line:84%
Only advertisements for the
world through its duplication

00:01:31.190 --> 00:01:33.350 align:middle line:84%
and the provocative
lie which does not seek

00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:35.120 align:middle line:90%
belief but command silence.

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.490 align:middle line:84%
The more total society
becomes, the greater

00:01:37.490 --> 00:01:39.980 align:middle line:84%
the reification of the mind
and the more paradoxical

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:43.280 align:middle line:84%
its effort to escape
reification on its own.

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.470 align:middle line:84%
Cultural criticism
finds itself faced

00:01:45.470 --> 00:01:47.780 align:middle line:84%
with the final stage of
the dialectic of culture

00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:48.830 align:middle line:90%
and barbarism.

00:01:48.830 --> 00:01:53.060 align:middle line:84%
To write poetry after
Auschwitz is barbaric."

00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:56.330 align:middle line:84%
And that of course
is from Adorno.

00:01:56.330 --> 00:01:59.840 align:middle line:84%
This is a quote from Joan
Retallack's Memnoir, Present

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:00.620 align:middle line:90%
Tensed.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:02.900 align:middle line:84%
"Coming out of the movie
theater, the world,

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:05.300 align:middle line:90%
the world is bright, too bright.

00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:09.530 align:middle line:84%
Gnomic present tense, tensile,
everything happening at once.

00:02:09.530 --> 00:02:12.740 align:middle line:84%
The world is full of
its own mute history.

00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:16.070 align:middle line:84%
The fatality of reflection, the
fatality of nature and culture,

00:02:16.070 --> 00:02:19.220 align:middle line:84%
the fatality of the
German sciences of Kultur

00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:20.750 align:middle line:90%
The fatality of i.e.

00:02:20.750 --> 00:02:22.910 align:middle line:90%
mute history remaining mute.

00:02:22.910 --> 00:02:27.020 align:middle line:84%
The fatality of the preposition
reaching out to its object

00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:32.180 align:middle line:90%
even as it e.g., it slips away."

00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:34.460 align:middle line:84%
"Speaking so that the
blank couldn't speak,

00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:36.110 align:middle line:90%
speaking when one spoke.

00:02:36.110 --> 00:02:39.380 align:middle line:84%
In war we have the leisure
to remember anything."

00:02:39.380 --> 00:02:42.830 align:middle line:90%
That's from Leslie Scalapino

00:02:42.830 --> 00:02:44.886 align:middle line:84%
"It's a total failure of
the Western imagination

00:02:44.886 --> 00:02:48.560 align:middle line:84%
that the only enemy they
can see as Adolf Hitler."

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.750 align:middle line:90%
It's from Tariq Ali.

00:02:50.750 --> 00:02:54.260 align:middle line:84%
And finally, from
Zukofsky, go to mass

00:02:54.260 --> 00:02:57.680 align:middle line:84%
with the air and the
shrapnel for a church.

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.920 align:middle line:84%
A Christian
civilization, where Pius

00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:04.130 align:middle line:90%
blesses the black -shirts."

00:03:04.130 --> 00:03:08.000 align:middle line:84%
So Vesting Order Number
126, Hamburg -Amerika Line,

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.740 align:middle line:90%
August 1942.

00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:12.290 align:middle line:84%
The 20-year-old Prince
had his surrogate issue

00:03:12.290 --> 00:03:16.730 align:middle line:84%
a statement indicating, quote,
"Only in the Catholic Church

00:03:16.730 --> 00:03:20.810 align:middle line:84%
is there eternal salvation"
quote which he was betrayed.

00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:23.600 align:middle line:84%
And that it was
done in poor taste.

00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:26.420 align:middle line:84%
The youngest of three
children, Joseph Ratzinger,

00:03:26.420 --> 00:03:28.880 align:middle line:84%
was born indicating that
he was sorry for wearing

00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:31.760 align:middle line:84%
the Nazi uniform quote,
resistance was truly, quote.

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:35.750 align:middle line:84%
He never took part in any, no
idea his attire would offend.

00:03:35.750 --> 00:03:38.300 align:middle line:84%
The 20-year-old Prince had a
surrogate issue a statement

00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:41.000 align:middle line:84%
indicating his family by
wearing a Nazi uniform

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.840 align:middle line:84%
to a party who won three gold
medals in equestrian events.

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.600 align:middle line:84%
Quote, why can't we
just, quote, quote, help,

00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:50.840 align:middle line:84%
quote, him pass his art
exam in the khaki uniform

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.120 align:middle line:90%
of Rommel's Afrika courts--

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.120 align:middle line:84%
or Afrika Korps complete
with red swastika armband?

00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.040 align:middle line:84%
Charles was also
angry at William

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:00.890 align:middle line:84%
because he was in the store
when Harry, 20, interpreted

00:04:00.890 --> 00:04:02.600 align:middle line:84%
the wound as a
fountain of grace.

00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:05.960 align:middle line:84%
His condemnations are legion of
women priests, married priests,

00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.180 align:middle line:84%
dissident theologians
and homosexuals.

00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:10.820 align:middle line:84%
He upset many Jews
with statement in 1987

00:04:10.820 --> 00:04:13.880 align:middle line:84%
when mincing around, doing that
little flip of the wrist mini

00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:15.650 align:middle line:90%
heil thing.

00:04:15.650 --> 00:04:19.459 align:middle line:84%
The son, quoting a royal insider
said, quote, for it is not you

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:22.370 align:middle line:84%
that speak the spirit of but
the spirit of your father

00:04:22.370 --> 00:04:25.220 align:middle line:90%
that speaketh in you, quote.

00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:27.260 align:middle line:84%
Army instructors were
astounded to find

00:04:27.260 --> 00:04:29.925 align:middle line:84%
that Prince Harry lacked
basic computer skills thanks

00:04:29.925 --> 00:04:32.300 align:middle line:84%
in part to a royal scandal
involving Prince Harry wearing

00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:33.827 align:middle line:90%
Nazi regalia at a costume party.

00:04:33.827 --> 00:04:35.660 align:middle line:84%
While it wouldn't be
acceptable for a Prince

00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.810 align:middle line:84%
to become an artist, his
choice of fancy dress costume,

00:04:38.810 --> 00:04:40.610 align:middle line:84%
wearing Nazi garb to
a fancy dress party,

00:04:40.610 --> 00:04:42.350 align:middle line:84%
already has plans to
set up scholarships

00:04:42.350 --> 00:04:45.470 align:middle line:84%
for young British artists just
two weeks before world leaders

00:04:45.470 --> 00:04:47.960 align:middle line:84%
gathered in Poland to
find Prince Harry lacked

00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:50.720 align:middle line:90%
basic computer skills.

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.840 align:middle line:84%
On the same day, Harry
took a language test

00:04:53.840 --> 00:04:55.610 align:middle line:84%
and picked up his
army issued boots.

00:04:55.610 --> 00:04:57.410 align:middle line:84%
Quote, it's not a
case of pass or fail,

00:04:57.410 --> 00:04:59.420 align:middle line:84%
it's just a diagnostic
test, quote.

00:04:59.420 --> 00:05:02.120 align:middle line:84%
I therefore made him
of our table round,

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.670 align:middle line:84%
not rashly but have
proved him every way

00:05:04.670 --> 00:05:08.380 align:middle line:84%
to pick the vicious quitch of
blood and custom out of him

00:05:08.380 --> 00:05:11.050 align:middle line:84%
and make all clean to
encourage others and help

00:05:11.050 --> 00:05:13.450 align:middle line:90%
with fundraising.

00:05:13.450 --> 00:05:16.990 align:middle line:84%
He disciplined the advocates
of, quote, liberation theology,

00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:18.370 align:middle line:90%
quote.

00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:22.660 align:middle line:84%
And in their chairs,
set up a stronger race.

00:05:22.660 --> 00:05:24.250 align:middle line:84%
Charles was also
angry at William

00:05:24.250 --> 00:05:26.590 align:middle line:84%
because he was in an
anti-aircraft unit that

00:05:26.590 --> 00:05:28.870 align:middle line:90%
protected a BMW factory.

00:05:28.870 --> 00:05:30.940 align:middle line:84%
His father also
called Joseph was

00:05:30.940 --> 00:05:34.120 align:middle line:84%
an Anti-Nazi whose attempts to
rein in Hitler's brown shirts

00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.882 align:middle line:84%
picked up the offensive costume
for the party last Saturday.

00:05:37.882 --> 00:05:39.340 align:middle line:84%
Quote, for it is
not you that speak

00:05:39.340 --> 00:05:42.040 align:middle line:84%
but the spirit of your father
that speaketh in you, quote,

00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.080 align:middle line:84%
when mincing around doing that
little flip of the wrist mini

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:47.710 align:middle line:90%
heil thing.

00:05:47.710 --> 00:05:51.640 align:middle line:84%
Quote, o' brother, had you
known our Camelot, quote,

00:05:51.640 --> 00:05:56.530 align:middle line:84%
complete with swastika,
quote, built by old King's age

00:05:56.530 --> 00:05:57.220 align:middle line:90%
after age.

00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:00.070 align:middle line:84%
So old the King
himself, quote, was

00:06:00.070 --> 00:06:03.850 align:middle line:84%
influenced by a, quote, cabal,
quote, of Jewish advisors.

00:06:03.850 --> 00:06:06.160 align:middle line:84%
Quote, last night,
Charles ordered both boys

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.800 align:middle line:84%
to privately visit,
quote, Schindler's List.

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:09.850 align:middle line:90%
Quote, quote.

00:06:09.850 --> 00:06:12.070 align:middle line:84%
Although the computer test
was a lot more complex

00:06:12.070 --> 00:06:15.970 align:middle line:84%
than just a, quote, native and
colonial, quote, party, quote,

00:06:15.970 --> 00:06:18.040 align:middle line:84%
resistance was truly
impossible, quote,

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:19.360 align:middle line:90%
the spokeswoman stressed.

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.520 align:middle line:84%
Quote, the computer
test was a lot more

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:26.550 align:middle line:84%
complex than just quote,
quote, sending emails, quote."

00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:29.000 align:middle line:90%
