Topnotch saxophone player & fearless philosopher Gilad Atzmon blew Madison away Friday night with a powerful lecture at the University of Wisconsin, then a jam session with members of Madison's premiere dance band, VO5, at the Weary Traveler Freehouse on Williamson Street.
Gilad is currently being witch-hunted by a bunch of folks who are apparently too fearful to think clearly. Their attacks on him don't hold up to scrutiny. Since I know what it feels like to be witch-hunted by the forces of ignorance - and since I love Gilad as a person and respect his work - I am putting some time and energy into defending him.
Why Hate Gilad Atzmon?

Very well said Dr. Barret.

Couldn't agree more, I share the view. I mean, people can curse the Most High, but somethings are out of bounds to mere well-meant-discussion, why this?
Good of you to stand up for an innocent man, and bringing sound reasoning to its good work.
Gilad is a good man. It's obvious that he wishes nobody harm.
Once again Brother, hats off to you for your support of Brother Gilad and the truth. Your articles are spot on here and Gilad is fortunate to have your kind words. So unbelievable that so many cannot see through or pierce the veil of yak dung. Keep up the good work and hope to see you all in Vancouver this Summer. Yes, Creator willing indeed.

In his writings about living in London and enjoying its racial, ethnic and cultural diversity Atzmon arrogantly ignores the well-known fact that the English have been opposed to the transforming waves of immivasion of which he’s part.
ReplyDeleteWhere he acclaims the London of today expressly because it has diversified away from the overwhelmingly White, English and Western London of pre-immivasion days he is objectively racist toward White, English and Western peoples and celebrates the denial of our freedoms and our dispossession as a native people. It just doesn’t matter to this cocksure and self-satisfied Asian that we rather liked England as it was and that what he sees as vibrancy is for us an alien and disfiguring imposition. Atzmon is a colonist and a cultural imperialist and proud of it.
The Atzmon of 2012 is to me what Atzmon the IDF pussy was to a Palestinian Arab a few years ago -- an alien overlord I want to be rid of. And given that his tribe claimed the right to boot mine out of 'their' country, fair play says we have the right to kick them out, too.
Fair play to Gilad, he's a good guy.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I notice Duff is going after Thermite now. Quelle surprise!
I look forward to his next offering.
