A LARKS’ TONGUE IN APRIL.

conversation with Morrissey,

April 2019, by Sam Esty Rayner.

*we apologize for the delay in printing this interview.

Excerpt:

"sam:
You cancelled 6 shows in Italy because of the incident. People are beginning to think your middle name is Cancellation.

M:
I know. But, as far as I can see, many bands cancel and nothing is ever said about it. The song and dance made about my cancellations is usually from people who wouldn’t go to the concert in the first place.

sam:
But you will play the Canada dates?

M:
Yes.

sam:
Is your hand bad? Obviously it’s covered.

M:
The stitches are out now but if I had shaken anyone’s hand last week blood would have spurted. That’s not a nice greeting.

sam:
I don’t think anyone ever believes that you’re ill, or that you fell, or whatever.

M:
I know. Generally colds and flu are passed on to me, and there’s nothing you can do when your voice is your instrument. I go to abnormal lengths to avoid colds."

I remember the good old days on this forum when I was shunned for saying “Satan Rejected My Soul” was a lousy single.

These days it’s all about politics.

“Moz is a racist!”
“If you listen to or like The Smiths, you might be a racist!”
“You’re a racist!”
“No, you’re a racist!”

This shit is getting tiresome. I come here for the music, and if I think it sucks ass, I’m the first one to point that out.

I do not come here to listen to a bunch of twats who believe history will be on their side.

Can’t wait for the new album.

Morrissey is making it all about politics . you don't get that ?? maybe that's why .

 

[GodEmperorMorrissey]

Yes I agree with parts of this. Without doubt I think you can make a good cause for Judeo-Christian culture as being the most progressive society in human history. Others may disagree and that is fine, what I do find sad is that it seems almost impossible in the current climate to have type of nuanced conversation about these topics. The nanosecond you raise them you are instantly labelled a 'racist.' Aborigines are or at least were pre-colonization incredibly connected to their environment, and some people might view that connection as infinitely superior based on how they view a progressive society. Great! Lets then have that conversation!!

It seems like those that push 'diversity' are unwilling to entertain any type of diversity of intellect or traits. It's weird.

I like most of what you said and agree however i have one point of contention; Judeo-Christian values is not a thing, Judaism and Christianity are opposed to each other and Western values owe to Christian values. The Jews have tried to co-opt credit with chicken hawks such as Ben Shapiro ramming that phrase down every conservatives throat constantly

There is no such thing as "Judeo-Christian culture". The term didn't even exist prior to the 1930's (probably invented as anti-Nazi propaganda) and didn't enter common usage until the 1980's. It's some recently made-up bullshit.

Are you aware of what the Jewish religion says about Jesus? According to the Talmud, Jesus is currently boiling in shit in Hell. No! Really! It actually says that!

"Onkelos son of Kolonikos ... went and raised Titus from the dead by magical arts, and asked him; 'Who is most in repute in the [other] world? He replied: Israel. What then, he said, about joining them? He said: Their observances are burdensome and you will not be able to carry them out. Go and attack them in that world and you will be at the top as it is written, Her adversaries are become the head etc.; whoever harasses Israel becomes head. He asked him: What is your punishment [in the other world]? He replied: What I decreed for myself. Every day my ashes are collected and sentence is passed on me and I am burnt and my ashes are scattered over the seven seas. He then went and raised Balaam by incantations. He asked him: Who is in repute in the other world? He replied: Israel. What then, he said, about joining them? He replied: Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. He then asked: What is your punishment? He replied: With boiling hot semen. He then went and raised by incantations Jesus [in Vilna edition: "the sinners of Israel"; "Jesus" appears in Munich 95 and Vatican 140 manuscripts and "he went and brought up Jesus the Nazarene" (Editions or MSs: Vatican 130)]. He asked them: Who is in repute in the other world? They replied: Israel. What about joining them? They replied: Seek their welfare, seek not their harm. Whoever touches them touches the apple of his eye. He said: What is your punishment? They replied: With boiling hot excrement, since a Master has said: Whoever mocks at the words of the Sages is punished with boiling hot excrement. Observe the difference between the sinners of Israel and the prophets of the other nations who worship idols. It has been taught: Note from this incident how serious a thing it is to put a man to shame, for God espoused the cause of Bar Kamza and destroyed His House and burnt His Temple."
— Babylonian Talmud, Gittin 56b-57a

There's a common misconception that "Jews follow the Old Testament (the Torah) and Christians follow the New Testament." That's true but that's not the whole truth. The Talmud, not the Torah, is the main religious text of the Judaism. It's sort of like their New Testament in that the Talmud overrules the Torah when in conflict.

There's all sorts of fun stuff in the Talmud about Jesus. That he was the bastard son of Mary and a Roman soldier named Pantera, that he practiced Egyptian black magic, that he was a perv, that he was hung. Other than common ancestry, Judaism and Christianity have nothing in common.

Why do I get the feeling I am always talking to one / the same person?

[reelfountain]

The Jews who control our media need to start shutting the f*** up.

We're not interested in their bullshit anymore.

 

[NealCassidy]

Israel, so much to answer for

Maybe you should post this on some other website?

May I suggest “Ancient Aliens”?

Bye!

The Talmud does indeed read like something off a wacky conspiracy theory show - but many people across the world follow its teachings - which is scary.

I'm using it as a blanket term for western culture and I think it holds up fine.

Religion is a tumor on the face of this planet. Get that shit away from me!

Only the weak and feeble-minded believe in God.

 

[GodEmperorMorrissey]

But it doesn't hold up because Judaism has held no part in Western values. It's Jews literally taking credit from Christians that they have not earned

Some religions are worse than others. In fact I've heard it said that Islam and Judaism are like two sides of the same shekel. I would hastily agree. Two very, very dangerous religions. Non peaceful and 100% supremacist in every way.

Jews don't bomb people though. They may have similar dodgy religious practises and they have their share of radical extremists but they tend to get on with their lives if they live in Europe and leave other people alone.

Every religion is dangerous. Vile, ugly and dangerous.

They should be banned.

Those neo-cons in the American government and the CIA are a different story though.

That's it, folks.
Steve Morrissey's career as a recording and live act (in the UK at least) is officially over.
Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse after wearing that f***ing pin, they have. Much worse.
It seems ironic that it was his own flesh and blood that dealt the final blow. The sweet little boy from the Suedehead video.
He can't blame a journalist this time, he can't blame a publication like Der Spiegel or the Guardian.
The interview was carried out by his own relative, and published on his own website.
Unbe-f***ing-lievable.
An album has been completed - it might (might) still come out. But that's it.
It's all a little bit horrible.

I don’t see how Interpol stays on the bill with him. Unless they have the same beliefs? He’s just too problematic and it’s getting worst. It has f***-all to do with free speech either. People have the right to stay away and that’s what they’ll do
