Der Audiomitschnitt zum SPIEGEL-Interview mit Morrissey - Spiegel Online
Sänger Morrissey fühlt sich nach einem Interview mit dem SPIEGEL falsch zitiert und will nun nie wieder mit Printmedien sprechen. Hören Sie hier den Mitschnitt des Interviews.

English version:

The Audio of DER SPIEGEL's Interview with Morrissey
British pop singer Morrissey has accused DER SPIEGEL of falsely quoting him in a recently published interview. The magazine stands behind its reporting and has made the decision to post the audio online in response.

On Friday, Nov. 10, DER SPIEGEL culture reporter Juliane Liebert told her editors that she had been offered an interview with British popstar Morrissey and that a decision needed to be made quickly on whether to accept. We agreed: The former lead singer of The Smiths doesn't shy away from speaking his mind - and he also doesn't grant interviews very often.

The following Monday, Liebert flew to Los Angeles, where she was to interview Morrissey on Tuesday. The interview appointment got delayed several times before finally taking place on Wednesday and lasting 40 minutes. Edited versions of interviews published in DER SPIEGEL are usually authorized by the interview subject before publication, consistent with established procedure in German journalism. But in this instance, Morrissey's team elected to forego authorization.

After its publication on Nov. 18 in DER SPIEGEL, the interview (available behind the SPIEGEL Plus paywall in German) generated headlines not only in the German-language media. English publications like the Independent also wrote about Morrissey's statements regarding Trump, Brexit, the #MeToo debate and questions of national identity.

The musician then sought to distance himself from the published interview. "Unless you see the words form in my mouth and then you see or hear the words come out of my mouth... please, if you don't see that, I didn't say them," he told fans at a concert. He said he would never grant an interview to a print journalist again.

On Monday, Morrissey followed up with a post on his official Facebook page casting doubt on whether his statements had been reflected accurately by DER SPIEGEL. He also alleged that the fact that the magazine had not yet posted the raw audio of the interview was tantamount to an indirect admission of guilt.

To counter that claim, the editors of DER SPIEGEL have decided to post the audio of the interview online.

Words like "stupid" and "oblivious" from your tongue must leave a strange taste in your mouth...I'd imagine it must taste similar to shit as you're clearly talking out of your ass. If all you're able to muster around here is one vapid post after another, I suggest you just do us all a favor and crawl back up inside whatever rancid c*** you fell out of and strangle yourself with the umbilical cord.

Dignified? He comes across as somebody who's desperate to keep selling concert tickets and, if he's lucky, some records. He comes across as somebody who's painted himself into a corner and having to follow the instructions of his masters at the record company. He comes across as utterly defeated and pathetic. It's pure wank material.

Well, go on then, help yourself.

You might believe you are a philanthropist. I'm sure it makes you feel very righteous. But here is where you come to spit your bile. Some go to the gym, some for a walk - you come here.

Now, Moz made clear that at 14 (meaning at an age when sex is strongly on your mind anyway) he would have known that to be in a 26 year old man's bedroom is not exactly a safe place to be - he never felt safe on the streets either by the way.

If you think Moz minces, why watch?

Broken jaws, manholes, what is it with all this violent talk?

And as for dignity, I mean in the new video he has put out on youtube where he explains himself. Yes, he comes across as very dignified.

Every hole's an open goal, for humasexuals like me & Moz baby!

Morrissey has the dignity of a condemned man who's accepted his fate. He now realises who BrummieBoy, who BB controls and that there is no escape. The sentence has been passed in The Court Of Public Opinion and all that's left is for Morrissey to wait out his long dark night of the soul before the dawn of his execution where BB slices off his the hydra head of his career.

This may surprise you, shock you or cause you to collapse to the floor in disbelief but: I am richer than Morrissey. And more powerful. If he ever, ever mentions my Sacred Name: I will totally destroy him. His arse-licking lackeys on this site would be well-advised to warn their imperious toad-master that the consequences of any insolent back-chat to Judge BrummieBoy will result in prolonged torture rather than surgical beheading of his career 'going forward'. Really, Morrissey, the choice is yours....do you seriously think I give a fcUK. I'm from Small Heath. Do the maths...join up the dots....then make you choice as in: #ComeAndHaveAGoIfYouThinkYoureHardEnough.....

Go lecture Morrissey's parents for letting him go to gigs unescorted at 14, ya fcukin numpty tosser!

The kind people have a dream:
Morrissey on the guillotine.

So even though you appreciate that regular white men like Weinstein and guys you know talk rough about women and molest them, it's an inherent trait of non-resident non-native men, and something far worse, when they do it? Think please.

Off topic as this isn't Morrissey related (although in a roundabout way he kickstarted the conversation), but I just feel compelled to confront such brazen dishonesty when I see it.

Imagine stating that most white people have African, Baltic, or Middle Eastern genes, like you just did, and yet in the post preceding it referring to Harvey Weinstein as a "regular white guy". This isn't ignorance on your part, this is an intentional attempt to deceive. You know exactly what you're doing, but unfortunately for you I also know exactly what you're doing. Now who would attempt to deceive to the extent that you just attempted to, Timeplease? We may never know your true motivations...


(Exhibit A, taken from the L.A. Times): 'Who runs Hollywood? C'mon'|written by JOEL STEIN

articles.latimes.com/2008/dec/19/opinion/oe-stein19

I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.

How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.

[...]

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you'd be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.

[...]

I called ADL Chairman Abe Foxman, who was in Santiago, Chile, where, he told me to my dismay, he was not hunting Nazis. He dismissed my whole proposition, saying that the number of people who think Jews run Hollywood is still too high. The ADL poll, he pointed out, showed that 59% of Americans think Hollywood execs "do not share the religious and moral values of most Americans," and 43% think the entertainment industry is waging an organized campaign to "weaken the influence of religious values in this country."

[...]

"That's a very dangerous phrase, 'Jews control Hollywood.' What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood," he said. Instead of "control," Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry "happen to be Jewish," as in "all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish."

[...]

I appreciate Foxman's concerns. And maybe my life spent in a New Jersey-New York/Bay Area-L.A. pro-Semitic cocoon has left me naive. But I don't care if Americans think we're running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.

(Exhibit B, taken from The Daily Beast): 'SNL Host Larry David Roasts Harvey Weinstein', written by
MATT WILSTEIN

https://www.thedailybeast.com/snl-h...y-do-so-many-sexual-harassers-have-to-be-jews

Larry David returned to host Saturday Night Live this week. And he did not hesitate to address the elephant that has consumed Hollywood over these past several weeks.

“You know, a lot of sexual harassment stuff in the news of late,” the Curb Your Enthusiasm creator said about halfway through his monologue. “And I couldn’t help but notice a very disturbing pattern emerging, which is that many of the predators—not all, but many of them—are Jews."

“And I have three words to say to that,” David continued. “Oy vey izmir” (translation: “woe is me”). He explained that he doesn’t like it “when Jews are in the headlines for notorious reasons,” adding, “I want Einstein discovers the theory of relativity. Salk cures Polio. What I don’t want: Weinstein took it out.”

Unlike Weinstein, David said he strives to be a “good Jewish representative.”

“When people see me,” he said, “I want them to say, ‘Oh, there goes a fine Jew for you. Margaret, come here and say hello to this fellow. I want you to meet a wonderful Jew. Nothing stereotypical about him, except for the self-deprecation and the irritable bowel syndrome, you could never tell in a million years!’”

(Exhibit C, taken from The Times of Israel): 'Ashkenazi Jews are not white - Response to Haaretz article', written by Hila Hershkoviz

blogs.timesofisrael.com/ashkenazi-jews-are-not-white-response-to-haaretz-article/

In response to Haaretz article “Jews, white privilege and the fight against racism in America” (by Benjy Cannon 4/12/14) I would like to say loud and clear: Ashkenazi Jews are not white.

Every time I read about a Jew somewhere identifying as a white person, I cringe. As an Israeli Jew, who like most other Israeli Jews, is completely foreign to the concept of Jews being “white” I would like to address this article to my Jewish brothers and sisters in America.

Ashkenazi Jews who identify as “white”, please understand the following:

1. History and identity – As late as 1987 the US legally defined Jews as non-white. To the best of my knowledge, 50 years ago Jews had the same skin color as they do today. I deduce that white is not skin color, it is first and foremost an issue history and identity. The “white people world” is represented by its European (often colonial) history, it’s culture, heroes, it’s Kings, ethos, faith etc. – and Ashkenazi Jews are not part of that world. Their heroes are the Maccabees and not the Vikings or Joan of Arc, their Kings are David King of Israel and Hezekiah King of Judah (both archeologically confirmed historical figures) and not Kings Edward and George.

Secondly, Jews are not a “religion”. While in the Western world identities fall under the categories of religion or race, Middle Eastern people have tribal identities that are based neither the former nor the latter. Jews, similar to Pashtuns (who also often have pale skin and yet would not identify as white people) and other Middle Eastern Tribes, are neither religion nor race but a tribe. Jewish identity since the days of the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel had always been a tribal/national peoplehood. While tribal practices and customs (which are often incorrectly referred to as “Judaism”) and a strong biological link between many of the members are certainly present, Israelite identity was never based on either of these. Israelite identity has always been a tribal membership that goes by lineage (being born into the Tribes of Israel) or tribal acceptance (which is incorrectly translated as “conversion”). The identity Ashkenazi Jews have today is identical to that of King David whose great grandmother was a Moabite convert, but was nonetheless a Jew by virtue of being born into the Tribes of Israel by lineage.

You are Jews not because of your “religion” (are you even religious?), but because you were born into a tribe/people called the Nation of Israel. You are not “white people” with a “Jewish religion”, you are Jews – members of a people who origniated in Judea, whether you adhere to the laws of the tribe or not.

[...]

3. Biology – Although biology is not the main part of the issue, Ashkenazi Jews are not genetically white either. An extensive number of genetic studies show they originated in the Middle East, that despite European admixture they are genetic brothers of other Jews, Palestinians, Druze and Lebanese Arabs and share a highly significant amount of ancestry with Sephardi Jews to whom they are genetically almost identical. Tests also show Ahskenazi Levites are descendants of Hebrews, and Ashkenazi Cohanim share lineage with Sephardi Cohanim.

[...]

Jews are not white. People who try to argue otherwise are not only abrogating history and denying our people’s authentic identity, they are in fact (even if unintentionally) also practicing a form of Western imperialism, as nobody has the right to superimpose an artificial Western identity on a people with an ancient Middle Eastern-tribal identity. Nobody has the right to try and make Jews, or any other Middle Eastern people, feel they “need” to fit into the “neat” Western categories of religion and race. Nobody has the right to force Jews into identifying as white people when they are clearly not. As for Jews who identify as white without being forced to do so – please decolonize your identities and understand that the identity your claim to express is a falsification of who you really are.

See what you've made me do? (P.S. Timeplease, everything I pasted here was written by Jewish writers, mostly for Jewish publications, so if you have grievances with any of it you can take it up with them. I'm sure they're easily contactable through the usual social media sites such as Twitter, etc.)
I'm not passing any opinions one way or the other, just a perplexed onlooker who's curious if Americans and native Europeans would be more suspicious if Muslims were controlling their media and overrepresented in their institutions of power. "Regular white men like Weinstein", indeed.
Not that they abuse that power, it's not like anyone has ever been locked up for denying the Holocaust or anything. I do know of a few people from the city I grew up in who did time for denying that the Armenian genocide, Holodomor, the Congo genocide, and the Transatlantic slave trade ever happened, though. I personally grassed on someone who told me that the Barbary slave trade was 'fake news'. They're about four months into their two year jail term. Because, as stated previously, I just have to confront such brazen dishonesty when I see it.
