Jonathan Bowden Interview
Source: blackgnosis.com
Video from: blackgnosis.comThe following video is a fifty minute edited segment of a three and a half hour interview I filmed with the British author, artist, and orator, Jonathan Bowden, back in 2009.The location was a bar in a private members’ club for ex/serving military personnel, in Waterloo central London.Forever the performer, Bowden enjoyed the attention and answered the myriad of questions put to him instantaneously, like an actor delivering lines from a well rehearsed script, but in his case, they were questions he had been contemplating for most of his adult life. The topics ranged from a damning critique of The Conservative party, UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party) the BNP (British National Party), Islam, Christianity, Paganism, the Middle-East, Israel, the EU, Feminism, and the social decline of the working-class ethnic-English in the post-industrial north.As is now widely known Jonathan passed away in March of this year (2012) from coronary failure - not long after suffering a nervous breakdown - and a month shy of his 50th birthday. As was commented about his death elsewhere online, "when you push your mind to those sorts of limits something has to give". Jonathan Bowden, a Nietzschean ’til the end.With the sad passing of Jonathan Bowden the New Right has lost one of its most gifted advocates and humanity has lost its most gifted orator. Like other commentators who have written about Jonathan in the few weeks since the announcement of his death, I regard Jonathan’s unique contribution to have been his erudite, entertaining and inspiring speeches.Read the rest at: blackgnosis.com
