The Pretend Bishop Upon This Rock

10th October 2021

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Strikes Again

Dear Carmel,

Peace be within you and upon you.

YESTERDAY marked what would have been the late John Lennon's 71st birthday. So what? You may well ask.

  • Well, "more popular than Jesus" is part of a remark made by John Lennon in a March 1966 interview, in which he argued that the public were more infatuated with the Beatles band than with Jesus, and that Christian faith was declining to the extent that it might be outlasted by rock music.

  • Afterwards Lennon apologised at a series of press conferences and explained that he was not comparing himself to Christ. In 1980, he was murdered by Mark David Chapman; Chapman later stated that he was motivated partly by Lennon's remarks on religion, including the "more popular than Jesus" quote.

Lennon also once wrote a ballad, which mentioned Gibraltar, while in the next breath blaspheming The Lord's name.

In previous communications, dating back from October 2018, you may recall that we each respectively made cryptic references to “One of The Fab Four”. Recall, I implicitly mentioned the famous Beatle via a reference to JAHTALK's From Speke (John Lennon Airport) To Malta (Gudja) article, whereupon you reciprocated by subsequently implicitly quipping to me about “starting a revolution” in the space of three short months.

In that earlier letter from 2018, entitled "From Speke to Malta", my opening Gudja Gambit paragraph directly made reference to former US papal nuncio, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. Replicated in part below are relevant paragraphs from the opening, middle and closing parts of my letter to you .

  • Dear Carmel,

  • In a week when Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò released his third letter calling for the resignation of Pope Francis, and in a month when a principled catholic priest named David Marsden wrote an open letter to the UK Bishops, please treat this, my third letter, as a call for the renunciation of the Bishop of Gibraltar’s Marian idolatry, in favour of a real encounter with Christ, in the here and now in His Second Coming. Please recall the very first thing I told you, when I first met you during communion during a Saturday morning service in the cathedral.*

  • Christ is already here in His Second Coming!***

Somewhere in the middle of my letter, I cited something you had written down in one of your letters writing this:

  • …of a wonderful opportunity to recall Gibraltar to its Catholic faith through a fresh encounter with Our Lord Jesus Christ.

In my final paragraph, I explained the meaning of “From Speke to Malta” thus.

  • Finally, if you’re wondering why I’ve entitled this letter “From Speke to Malta”, it’s simply because Professor Walter Veith’s “From Crete To Malta” series notwithstanding, Speke (of John Lennon Airport fame) is my nearest equivalent to your Gudja, located as it is, near to Liverpool, which as I mentioned in my last letter, is to all intents and purposes, Ireland’s capital city.

  • My proposed agenda immediately follows this email.

  • I look forward to receiving a positive reply.

  • Peace be within you and upon you.

  • Tony Farrell, Disciple of Christ

  • Proposed Agenda for a Meeting

  • Christ in His Second Coming

  • Proposed Attendees

  • Carmel Zammit, Tony Farrell, Others to be discussed

    1. Introductions – from Speke to Malta;
    1. The Sheffield connection of Christ in His Second Coming explained;

On The Way to Emmaus Again

Disappointingly, although you granted me a short meeting, you were not of a mind in the meeting to meaningfully discuss Christ and His vitally important interest in Gibraltar and so the above proposed agenda was somewhat side-stepped.

Some time afterwards, in a second short impromptu meeting, Christ asked me to broach with you, the subject of His own letter written for you, given that He had taken the trouble to address you directly in correspondence dated 19th February 2020.

The wording of Christ's letter is replicated below:


  • Dear Carmel Zammit,

  • We hope this finds you well, in good spirit and having a good day.

  • My disciple Tony Farrell told me that he has informed you about me, and that instead of welcoming him and The Truth/Me, you are now avoiding him, and thus me/The Truth also.

  • Irrespective of what you would like to think, after all the Scriptural evidence you were provided, proving that serving both me and the pope is IMPOSSIBLE, you are obviously either totally deluded, or wilfully blind, and there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

  • Which brings me to my statement 2,000 years ago, about blind guides like you:

  • Matthew 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath NOT planted, shall be rooted up.

  • 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch (or Pit).

  • 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

  • 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

  • 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

  • 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

  • 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness (lies), blasphemies:

  • 15:20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

  • I made it perfectly and unmistakably clear that the pope and Vatican City are my enemies, that make WAR against me, that you choose to serve. Thus you are guilty of treason against me and my Father, and leading the Gibraltarian and Maltese people into the pit/Lake of Fire with you. Where they will spend eternity with you, relentlessly cursing you for Eternity for deceiving them, and their blood and spiritual fate will be on your hands, unless you repent, NOW, and START to serve me, instead of my enemies the Great Whore and Satan/Lucifer its/her master.

  • I tell you that absolutely NOT ONE roman catholic will survive The Reaping, but every one of you will be bound and cast into The Fire.

  • Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the Time of Harvest I will say to the Reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

  • Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first.

  • 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel (ch. 17), which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

  • 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

  • 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

  • 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and ALL the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your WORKS.

  • 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

  • The following is what Paul wrote about deluded people like you, who reject The Truth:

  • 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of the Destroyer;

  • 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God (the Holy Father).

  • 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

  • 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

  • 2:7 For the mystery (Rev. 17:5) of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.

  • 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the [Sword of the] Spirit from his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness [of the enlightening] of his coming:

  • 2:9 [Even the Wicked], whose coming is the work of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

  • 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved.

  • 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

  • 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

  • 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth:

  • Here’s what John wrote, that I told him when he was on the Island of Patmos:

  • Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will show unto thee the Judgment of the great “Whore” that sitteth upon many “waters”:

  • 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

  • 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

  • 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in PURPLE (bishops) and SCARLET (cardinals) colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

  • 17:5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY (2 Thess. 2:7), BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS (her protestant daughters) AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

  • 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of her saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

  • 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Why didst thou marvel? (Stop it!) I will tell thee the MYSTERY of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

  • 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the Bottomless Pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were NOT written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

  • 17:9 And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth (ROME) .

  • 17:14 These shall make WAR AGAINST THE LAMB, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.

  • 17:15 And he saith unto me, The “waters” which thou sawest, where the WHORE” sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

  • You CANNOT serve two masters, especially those who are enemies one to the other:

  • Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and materialism.

  • The roman catholic religion is the richest business, organized protection-racket/mafia con-trick on Earth, taking money, by deception and threats, from the poor, to fill its coffers with filthy lucre, as Peter called it.

  • Unless you repent and confess your sins and tell the Gibraltarian and Maltese people the truth, and tell them to come out of roman catholicism and follow me, you have absolutely no hope of salvation, and neither do they.

  • Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT of her, MY people, that ye take not part in her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (punishment).

  • 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her inequities.

  • 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double.

  • 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

  • 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God Who judgeth her.

  • The choice is now yours. Choose wisely, repent and choose truth for once.

  • I am willing to help you to remove your blindness and see, and teach you The Truth. If not you will CERTAINLY find yourself in the Lake of Fire being tortured for Eternity.

  • The catholic religion is built on nothing but lies. Peter was NEVER the Bishop of Rome. He never even visited Rome, as I commanded him not to, as written in Scripture, recorded by Matthew.

  • Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go NOT into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

  • 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the “House of Israel”.

  • Peter’s ossuary was found at Mons Flevit in Jerusalem in the 1950s, as the Vatican knows all too well, but hides from their followers, because to reveal the Truth would destroy it. Thus its foundation of Peter being the first Bishop of Rome is proven to have been founded on sand/lies, not upon The Rock, which was not Peter (Cephas a little stone), but the Truth that Peter had just spoken, upon which Truth I would build my community (Ekklesia means a called-out community NOT a church-building that I told everyone NOT to pray in).

https://beforeitsnews.com/v3/spirit/2019/2514854.html?currentSplittedPage=0

  • Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites [ARE]: for they love to pray standing in the churches and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward (they have been seen by men, but God will not answer them).

  • 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN THOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father in private (Enoch 56:5; Sura 7:55); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly (by answering you).

  • 6:7 But when ye pray, use NOT vain repetitions, as the heathen [DO]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

  • 6:8 Be NOT ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, BEFORE ye ask Him.

  • The person who founded Roman Catholicism was Simon Pater the sorcerer who was condemned by Simon Peter.

  • Acts 8:18 And when Simon (the sorcerer – verse 9) saw that through laying on of the Apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

  • 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

  • 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

  • 8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

  • You teach the OPPOSITE of my teaching, and claim to be something I prohibited even my Apostles from being – a priest/rabbi/imam.

  • http://JAHTruth.net/rabbis.htm

  • So, thinking I called you or anyone to be a priest, when I prohibited anyone but ME from being a priest, in fulfilment of the prophecy given to Ezekiel about my first coming, means you have been deceived by Satan my Opposer, who teaches the OPPOSITE of what I teach, and whom you REALLY, by teaching the opposite of my teaching, are undoubtedly and obviously working for. Wake up and SEE The Truth, before it’s too late.

  • Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called priest (etc.): for One is your Teacher, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.

  • 23:9 And call NO [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

  • 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ.

  • There are NO priests, rabbis or imams, except ME. They are ALL, like you, in rebellion and claiming to be something Father and I prohibited 2,000 years ago. There is ONLY the Rabboni – Christ – Messiah – the Imam – Me.

  • My hand is held out to you, but will be withdrawn if you ignore this letter, and you will then be completely without hope.

  • Now read/study “The Way home or face The Fire” -

  • http://thewayhomeorfacethefire.net - the title of which is self-explanatory.

  • My contact email is at the head of this letter.

  • Yours truly,

  • Christ.

After having confirmed seeing His letter, you quite candidly rejected Christ before me.

In the same meeting in the Cathedral, I broached the subject of an unsavoury incident, which had taken place inside of the Cathedral on 26th January 2020. With reference to that particular incident, recall I questioned you regarding the necessity for one of the defendants to be prosecuted. The intended prosecution seemed so “unchristian-like", and in opposition to Biblical teachings. My plea to you back then, was for you to perhaps show some leniency towards the defendant (Tracy Hewitt). Seemingly, that plea has also fallen on death ears. Please excuse the freudian slip.

Anyway, in a few days time, on 12th October 2021, that incident once again may rear its ugly head, and come under the spotlight, given certain members of your Satanic Priesthood have made it become the subject of a scheduled court hearing and trial of the defendant.

Recently, as this long drawn-out case has shamelessly been allowed to drag on, extra personal interest in its progress has led into pursuing an altogether more incisive course of action on my part. In the first instance, I have recently attempted to submit an Amicus Curiae brief (Friend of The Court) in the form of a hard-bound dossier. Under Christ's supervision, a decision was also made to place the dossier into the wider public domain, prior to any trial.

We deem it is both timely and in the public interest for the people of Gibraltar to learn about the Whore of Babylon, otherwise known as The Woman That Rides The Beast. The online version of the dossier entitled "NOT UPON THIS ROCK" can be viewed here. In the space of just three days, it has received over 1,000 views, from an audience made up mostly of Gibraltarian Catholics, but in addition to this development, a hard copy version is enclosed for your personal and urgent consideration, preferably before the start of the trial.

Since a special feature of the Amicus Curiae brief dossier concerns several more recent and even more insightful letters from Archbishop Viganò, I would urge you to side with Viganò, over and above the Satanically inspired Jesuit, named Bergoglio. In arguably the Archbishop's best and most controversial letter to date, Viganò spells it out for you, and even makes reference to John Lennon's song entitled “Imagine” and places it contextually under a sub-heading: “The Luciferian Matrix of the New World Order.” That starkly termed heading is preceded by no less disturbing headings such as "The criminal mens", "Deep state and deep church", "Liaisons Dangereuses". and "The world depopulation plan".

The ever insightful Archbishop Viganò goes on to write this.

"If one does not understand that the ideological roots of ecumenism are intrinsically linked to Masonic Luciferian esotericism, one cannot grasp the connection that links the doctrinal deviations of Vatican II to the plan of the New World Order. The revolution of 1968 was a sad example of those pacifist and ecumenist ambitions, in which the “Age of Aquarius” was celebrated by the musical Hair and then by John Lennon with Imagine (1971):"

Historically, I have raised the subject of some of Viganò's letters with Charles Azzopardi and Stuart Chipolina on my various visits to St. Theresa's Church. Stuart did not really comment upon the letters he read, but Charles showed an inclination to denounce the Archbishop in ad hominem attacks, saying to me that the Archbishop had lost the plot, owing to the fact that he had failed to be given a "red hat". Charles' viewpoint differed from mine.

It seems obvious to me that a white zuchetto would have far better matched his head than the head of Jesuit Bergoglio. I could be wrong about this, and I hope that's so, but it also seems very evident to me that you have sided one hundred percent with Jesuit Bergoglio, and are similarly as dismissive as Azzopardi was, of the revolutionary messages from the former papal nuncio.

'Viganò's Motto
SCIO CUI CREDIDI
I know Him in whom I have believed.

Returning to the need to speak about starting a real and ever lasting revolution on The Rock of His Defence, agenda item 12 and my former From Speke to Malta correspondence, "Date and Time of Meeting with Christ in His Second Coming" remains a burning question for you, but I have to stress that time is nearly out.

Finally, permit me to return to how I started this article.

  • Well, "more popular than Jesus" is part of a remark made by John Lennon in a March 1966 interview, in which he argued that the public were more infatuated with the Beatles band than with Jesus, and that Christian faith was declining to the extent that it might be outlasted by rock music.

John Lennon was, without necessarily realising why, prophetically speaking The Truth here, and for your edification, I will now attempt to explain exactly why by quoting directly from Christ's JAHTRUTH website. I implore you to read this.

The Word of God told Isaiah the Prophet (in chapter 42:10-11),
Let the Inhabitants of The Rock sing The 'New Song' - The Song of Moses and The Lamb.

What is the "New Song" and why does "The Word" want YOU to learn to sing it and to Live and sing it on The Rock ?

For the answer we have to turn from the Old Covenant Book of the Prophet Isaiah to the New Covenant Book of the Revelation/Apocalypse given to John the Apostle by his Master, "The Word", who had previously, temporarily, been made flesh (incarnated), as it is written in the Gospel of John chapter 1 verse 14:-

"And the Word was made flesh (incarnated ), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only incarnated of the Father) full of Grace and Truth."

Why on The Rock? (Read my " Close Encounters of the Gibraltar Kind " and " DUNE - Gibraltar " and " Message for Gibraltar from God " Booklets, to find the answer).

In Revelation/Apocalypse it is written in chapter 14:3 & 5:9 that only the people who are able to learn to sing the "New Song " were to be redeemed (released ) from Planet Earth (and ALL the rest will be cast into The Lake of Fire - Revelation 21:7-8 ).

It is therefore CRITICALLY important for YOUR survival that YOU learn to sing the "New Song " - NOW .

So what IS the "NEW SONG"?

If MUSIC be the food of LOVE, please read on!

Peace be with you, and upon you.

CARMEL'S CONSULTATION

The Rock to participate in a two year consultation process opened by the Pope

The Rock to participate in a two year consultation process opened by the Pope

This consultation exercise with the people, may present a golden opportunity to bring the Catholic Church under the SPOTLIGHT UPON THIS ROCK. What is needed here is a REVOLUTION, in accordance with The Book of REVELATION.
Revelation
18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT of her, MY people, that ye take not part in her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (punishment).

The War is Not Over

Deuteronomy 29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols , wood and stone , silver and gold , which [were] among them The New Song

‘Imagine’

In 1971, British rock musician and former Beatle John Lennon released what would become the most successful song of his solo career. “Imagine” is one of the most-performed songs of the 20th century, and Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number three in their list of “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” It’s been performed during the “Ball Drop” in New York’s Times Square on New Year’s Eve, it was played during the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics, and notably, has become an anthem of the secular humanist and atheist movement, championed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the ACLU.

The song has a beautiful piano melody and lyrics that promote peace and universal harmony, a world united in love, and a society that does not covet or esteem material possessions.

Being a music lover, when I was growing up, I loved the song “Imagine.” I thought it was truly beautiful, and I thought, “Imagine if the world COULD achieve universal peace and harmony… no more war, no more prejudice or injustice. Wouldn’t that be great? And isn’t that what our goal as human beings should be?”

But as I got older, despite the fact that I was a fan of the music, something began to not sit right with me. For a long time, I brushed my concerns aside, justifying the song in as many ways as I could so that I could still enjoy it and consider it “OK” to listen to. But still, something about it, just wasn’t right. I considered the lyrics:

'You're not the second Messiah..' (directed at John Lennon)

Early 1970s: After John sends Aunt Mimi a letter asking after their family genealogy, Mimi replies to him in the form of a tape recording, and takes the time to address his media-courting behavior since the breakup of The Beatles...

MIMI: Now, you needn’t, for a start, send any B. S. genealogist down here, giving him a fine old holiday tramping around graveyards. What a good old time he must have had! This thing must have cost you a fortune.

Now, it’s in front of me, and I’m going to read it out to you, and you can’t deny it because every word in it is true: Alfred Lennon married Julia Stanley. He was born the 14th of December, 1912, and Julia was born on the 12th of March, 1914. And of course, they produced John Winston Lennon, who married Cynthia, daughter of Charles Edwin Powell. Married the 23rd of August, 1962, at South Liverpool.

What’s this rubbish you’re talking about? “You wouldn’t mind donating your money to a real socialist government?” For heaven’s sake. Use your nut. There’s no such thing. None at all. Not where money’s concerned. Money corrupts.

You watch yourself, my lad. You’re digging your own grave, and in no uncertain manner. Idealism is not the exclusive prerogative of English, Welsh, Irish, or any other nationality. It just happens. And you will wake up one of these days disillusioned and sad. You’ll be the tool of unscrupulous people who’ll exploit your idealism. And it will be a sad day for you, I’m telling you.

My dear boy, you are not the second Messiah. You are never likely to be. And that’s the way you’re behaving these last few years. Would you please understand that you are a speck in the ocean, and the only possible importance you can be is to people who are trying to get money out of you. And that’s perhaps why they’re – they’re around you. There’s no other reason, John. [laughs; bleak] None whatever. Do wake up, John. And remember the old saying: “The cobbler should stick to his last.” And your last is music.

And get out of this little – circle, that you’re in. It bodes no good for you, I’m telling you. Why do you think you’re having such trouble trying to get this permit to stay in America? It’s not for smoking a bit of cannabis. George Harrison smoked cannabis, but he was allowed in. It’s your activities there, boy, and you’re digging your own grave. And it makes me very very sad, because I know, in the end, you’re going to be hurt. Bitterly hurt.

For years, I’ve heard you yelling and shouting about love, but it seemed to me your heart was full of hate. And it showed in your face. I had an American reporter here about three months ago, and he was telling me that you had put it out that you were never wanted, that you were never loved. And this newspaper were willing to pay me to give my opinion of you – my personal opinion of you and your behavior over these years – and told me I would be well paid for it. Since when has money healed wounds? I soon sent him packing.

I’ve been hurt. Cut to the quick. What do you think I felt like, when I’ve been with those Beatle parents, and have heard what they’ve done, for them? I was foolish enough to think, as I had you, and waited for you to be born, that I was father and mother to you. But my goodness, John, you didn’t want me. [laughs; bleak] You didn’t want anything to do with me. And a lifetime’s work was just thrown on one side as nothing.

And you say The Beatles were dumb. They may have been… but in many respects, they could’ve taught you a thing or two. The first thing they did was to make their parents secure. Forever. Knowing very well that they would always get it back. But oh no, you, right, left, center – anyone could have in. And then I had to ask you, this year, to help me out – a terrible thing for me, I’m telling you, it nearly killed me. I’d had the same money from 1962, and anybody with a little thought would have known that what I had was melting away, during that eleven years.

And it seems as though you hated the sight of me. You couldn’t bear the sight of me, and you never missed an opportunity to cut me down dead – in front of other people as well, which was even worse. But it didn’t do you any good, for people noticed. But you were very kind to Alfred Lennon, taking him round the West End and having him in your home. I don’t suppose it ever once crossed your mind that that would hurt me. Especially when you couldn’t stand the sight of me.

In your teens, I was hard to live with, and if I had to go through it again, I would still be hard. And you know why, too. You were determined to do things which you knew were wrong, and I was determined that you wouldn’t, and if I hadn’t been interested, I would have let you do exactly as you liked – and you know how those children turn out...
