2019!
The rain has turned to snow and nothing much makes sense any longer, mad men rule the world and make deals with the devil, fools laugh and dismiss the claims made by those that know, those that have seen and those that still care enough to speak up and speak out. We know we in a crazy place when filthy rich mad men are reported to have alter ego's while the poor have multiple personality disorders and are committed and medicated. The likes of Bono can stand before the world and manifest Mr Macphisto, this is explained as his alter-ego!
On stage, Bono portrayed several characters he conceived, including the leather-clad egomaniac "The Fly", the greedy televangelist "Mirror Ball Man", and the devilish "MacPhisto". In contrast to other U2 tours, each of the Zoo TV shows opened with six to eight consecutive new songs before older material was played.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_TV_Tour
Mr. MacPhisto is one of Bono's (the lead singer of U2) alter-egos.
MachPhisto, portrayed at the Devil, is a washed up rock star, trying to give himself a dignified end in Vegas.
He is The Fly, after the evil of The Fly (his megalomania, self obsession, lust for power) has turned into a want of money and legacy.
Why Bono chose to become this character is confusing at best, but Mr. Machphisto did not continue after the end of the Zooropa tour.

Mr. MacPhisto is one of Bono's (the lead singer of U2) alter-egos.
Just One of his alter ego's? A man who openly mocks Jesus as he sings the words peace on Earth. Jesus can you take the time to throw a drowning man a line, peace on Earth?
This dude has access to the most powerful people in the world. Mr. MacPhisto is not to be taken lightly, his words are mocking, cold and his resemblance to The Joker (Batman) and IT are rather disturbing, perhaps because they all One character! Mocking the world as he chooses to shape-shift in and out of our various realities.
“My name is Mr. MacPhisto, I’m here to sing for your soul. The goal. Is Elevation“ (Laval, Rehearsals, April 14, 2018)
The goal is elevation.
Little wonder that his company is Elevation. But the devil is a liar, a deceiver, he promised Jesus Christ the world if only Jesus surrendered all to him. That's not what we are interested in. Our goal is not elevation. It's not Heaven on Earth, ( Bono tells us we need it now!) Heaven comes with Jesus Christ and Heaven is what is promised to us. For the poor in spirit inherit the Earth! There won't be much to inherit! Technology. Mind games. Pollution. Greed. Selling out our families, betraying our children, our loved ones, murder in the mind, heart and Soul and this is a foul place indeed! This is not our home. The fact that Bono is open to manifesting and allowing this persona to use his body and his mind, tells us all is not well with Bono's Soul. You can choose to point a finger and you can choose to condemn, but Bono needs prayer and he needs intercession and his family want their father and their husband back!
Bono premières his new alter-ego in a gold lamé suit, his face painted white with red lipstick, his hair combed-back and sporting red devil horns. Rather than sing, he speaks the text of Desire in a strong, ancient English accent. "What a night! What a show! What a life, what a way to go. I have a vision: Eurovision!", he shouts over the song's final notes. "Off with the horns, on with the show," he says in the same bizarre accent.
It's not a bizarre accent! It's a character! They writing about something they cannot comprehend, they don't realize that Bono is not there, this is Mr. MacPhisto and he is very very real! He asks all of us to let him in, he cannot come in unless invited, this is the game he plays, he plays for our souls. The devils little helper, he calls himself!
MacPhisto phones for a taxi to take him home, charming the audience with a few lines in French. Aware that he is at the stadium, the taxi operator asks him to specify an exit from which he can be picked up. MacPhisto insists that he is "everywhere", but the woman is having none of it, and repeatedly explains the need for a more precise location. She is also unimpressed by his claim that he knows her very well, scoffing "Oh, do you really?!", but she does allow him to sing a song for her.
He is everywhere! Get it or don't. the point is that this is now a reality! Every day we are witnessing more and more manifestations of things we cannot explain and we think that this is some sort of joke, some sort of prank, maybe it's madness, maybe he needs medication, mostly we should know that this is real and if we do not turn now to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness and forgive those that have hurt us, let go of the wounds and the grudges, we going with Bono, we marching confidently into hell to the tune of We Will Rock You, do you know why Bohemian Rhapsody was released now? Another soul that allowed this evil to take control of his body. Freddy surrendered and bragged to the crowd that the devil had a glove made personally just for him, the crowd laughed and he turns to Brian May and says: they think I am joking!
MacPhisto claims that Kohl is becoming "a very good friend of mine", and approves of the way he "stays asleep a lot". When he tries to give him a call, the Chancellor is not in his office and a rather confused gentleman advises phoning again after the weekend. Speaking in his capacity as evil incarnate, MacPhisto leaves a chilling message for Kohl instead: "I'd like to thank him for letting me back into the country. I haven't been here for a while, but I'm back!"
A little bit of self destruction.........that's what this is all about self destruction! What better way to break us than to have us break ourselves and with very little effort! There is only One Rock, and we cling to The Rock of Ages that never rolls and never sways and always reaches out and pulls us towards safety, certainty and understanding. Millions of people laughing at the words spoken into existence using the body, mind and soul of Bono. They laughing and lapping this up and have no idea what is happening to them. They blindly following and laughing all the way into hell and hell is a place, what and where that's no my business, but it's remarkably clear just how real this place is and just how badly these demons want to take as many as they can with them, the question is, are we going to laugh, smile and joke our way into hell with them?
"Do you know who I am?" MacPhisto asks the audience, and introduces himself: "My name is Signor MacPhisto. I also go by the name Andreotti." They laugh and cheer. "I come disguised as many things, and I'm particularly fond of show business. I know you like your pop stars to be exciting – that's why I bought these. Do you think I look funky?" MacPhisto phones the residence of his very good friend Bettino Craxi, the former Socialist Prime Minister (described by Willie Williams as "one of Italy's most famous and most corrupt politicians") who faces an investigation into bribery allegations. At the mention of his name, the whole crowd starts to chant "Bettino! Bettino! Vaffanculo!" ("Fuck you!"), much to MacPhisto's amusement. When a man at the Hotel Raphaël answers his call, MacPhisto explains: "I'd like to speak, if at all possible, to Signor Craxi." "And who is speaking?" asks the man. "My name is MacPhisto." "From where?" MacPhisto doesn't take kindly to this interrogation, testily replying "My country of origin is not of interest to you, young man," but the hotel worker sounds equally irritable and won't let him get a word in edgeways until he states where he's calling from. He finally takes MacPhisto's name and puts him on hold, transferring the call to Craxi's secretary. "I'm actually ringing to give Mr Craxi a warning," MacPhisto informs her. "There's a man looking for him – his name is Judge Di Pietro. Be careful!"
The name refers to Mephisto (sometimes written as Mephistopheles), a demon in German literature, who works for Lucifer.
This stuff was spoken years ago, but the fact that this character is back and the fact that we are to entertain the notion that it is perfectly normal to have alter ego's is astonishing!
The rain pours here in Lebanon and the ground cries out for water in South Africa! It's just a few hours and a plane ride and our reality and perspective change and we get to witness things we never would have seen had we remained stationed and stuck in a moment, bound by the lies that the devil does not exist, this world is all there is and that we are powerless to change anything! We are all powerful. We determine the outcome of our lives. We are not a joke and our lives are no laughing matter! Those that seek will find what they seek. I found Jesus and it's no bed of roses. Loving Jesus and walking with Him means I surrender my all to Him and this is what the devil wants, he longs to be worshiped, he wants us bowing and kneeling, but there is only One King, One leader and One Love!
In The Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Prince of Peace release Bono and return him to his children, his wife and remove the chains that bind him and hold him and prevent him from being truly free! We are the children of the Living God and Bono professed to love Jesus Christ, this became the challenge. When we profess to love Jesus, we will be tried and we will be tested, we cannot walk in darkness and be the light....this only happens when the light shines from within us! We may stumble and we may fall, but we will always be brought home safely. Laugh. Mock. Jeer. These are your choices and your options, we have eyes, we have ears, use them! When Bob Marley told us there is only One Love, he spoke the truth, be cause that truth stands the test of time. When he said let's get together and feel alright, it's when we get together, share and listen, understand and love each other that we grow as humanity! Truth cannot be found in a lie! You won't find truth in a Bono song and you won't find deliverance either! It's no good mocking the name of the son of God, it's no use calling His name and not surrendering to His leadership and guidance. Jesus comes softly and gently and He will never leave you. He carries us through the valley of the shadow of death, he comforts and He revives! Jesus Christ is all we need. The gift of life that keeps on giving and forgiving and so shall we!
Know you are blessed! Know your life has a purpose! Know you are the reason. Know you are precious! Know you make the difference between life and death. Know you are required! The power of choice is ours.....nothing and no one can alter that, choose wisely!

I haven't been here for a while, but I'm back!"
MacPhisto once again speaks of needing a good gimmick to stay ahead of the competition, remarking to the crowd "A little bit of self-destruction sells a lot of records, doesn't it?" (a quote which is sadly prophetic in its reference to Michael Jackson). He opines that political marketing pioneer Margaret Thatcher would have made a great rock 'n' roll star!
- From Willie Williams' tour diary:
The gig here – Western Springs – is surrounded with houses. People had built little grandstands in their gardens and were charging admission for friends to come watch the gig. We sent Libby Wilson (promoter staff) up to one house with a mobile phone, and MacPhisto telephoned them from the stage to congratulate them on their entrepreneurial spirit.
"God and the Devil have all the best phone numbers," MacPhisto declares as he phones the house on the hillside. He asks the owner "How much are you charging for admission up there, young man?" "Forty-five thousand dollars," is the calm reply. MacPhisto bursts out laughing: "A thief does even better than us!" He gets the man to give them a wave. "Now, from way up there I must look about two inches tall, do I?" asks MacPhisto. The guy agrees with this, and MacPhisto jokes "Well, I have news for you – I am two inches tall!" He tells the man they've sent up some official T-shirts ("so we can make a few bucks from you, you know what I'm saying?!" he spits pointedly), at which point the thief decides to terminate the call. MacPhisto sings him a chirpy rendition of the Neighbours theme, saying he thinks it's apt!
A little bit of self destruction.........that's what this is all about self destruction! What better way to break us than to have us break ourselves and with very little effort!
