Title: Paul is Dead: Story & Clues
Post by: The End on April 27, 2005, 11:59:21 AM
The Paul Is Dead Story and the 'Clues'

The Paul Is Dead rumor started with a series of events in the 1960s that led fans of the popular rock band The Beatles to believe that bassist Paul McCartney was actually dead and replaced with a look-alike. McCartney remains alive, as of 2005.

The rumor began in earnest in 1969, when Russ Gibb, a radio DJ from WKNR-FM in Detroit, Michigan, announced that McCartney was dead. Other DJs, television news reporters, newspapers, and magazines picked up on the story and began to look for clues.

The rumor eventually became a full-fledged conspiracy theory as members of the media and Beatles fans searched album artwork and song lyrics for clues to the cover-up and McCartney's supposed death. Believers eventually decided that McCartney had died in a car accident that happened at 5 a.m. on a Wednesday morning (the time and day, mentioned in the song "She's Leaving Home"), and that "he hadn't noticed that the lights had changed" ("A Day in the Life") because he was busy watching the pretty girl on the sidewalk ("Lovely Rita"). According to believers, McCartney had been replaced with the winner of a McCartney look-alike contest. The name of this look-alike has been recorded as both William Campbell and William Shears. Though it has been denied by all four members numerous times, many fans are convinced that the rumor was a hoax perpetrated deliberately by the Beatles as a joke. The rumor has been exhaustively examined in the book Turn Me On, Dead Man: The Beatles and the "Paul-Is-Dead" Hoax by Andru J. Reeve, the latest edition released in October 2004.

Other alleged clues included:

i must agree with indy. who knows what the hell they were looking at?

personally, the paul is dead theory stuff is good for a laugh, but never something i'd believe and take seriously. i mean, you can take any small detail and distort it into a "clue." my favorite one was always the last one mentioned regarding his solo work.

It's the very last comment that I agree with the most!

Quote from: The_End
it is usually a joke itself among Beatles fans.

Here's a question for everyone - has a conspiracy theory ever been proved to be correct? I can't think of one. Maybe Bay of Pigs?

A couple that were left out:

--The intruments the Beatles are holding are all marching band instruments except Paul's which is an oboe.

--On the back cover of Pepper, their hands make different letters: George is 'L'; John is 'V'; Ringo is 'E'. The only letter missing in the word 'love' is 'O' because Campbell's back is to the camera, and Paul is the only Beatle who doesn't have the letter 'O' in his name.

--On the back of Abbey Road, next to the passing girl, the shadow looks like a skull.

--There are a pair of skeleton hands grabbing Paul in one of the pictures on the White Album poster.  The list goes on.

I also heard a guy give a lecture on it once and he said toward the end of 'Gently Weeps' that George is singing 'Paul Paul'.

There was also the deal with their name being a phone number. The first three letters like they're spelled out on Magical Mystery Tour are 834, which is also the time on the board in the MMT booklet behind John the mustachioed ticket man. Supposedly someone called the number and there was a message saying "You're getting closer".

No, of course not, I'm flattered. One more thing, if I might: To those who argue the 28IF clue--yes, he'd have been 27, but 'Paul Is Dead' theorists counter that, in some Indian cultures, you are given an extra year for time spent in the womb, ergo 28 years old.

I read today that experts (not familiar with Paul's work) have taken a closer look at McCartney's paintings. He seems to use a lot of red paint. The experts thought it might have something to do with 'blood'. And of course, thinking further, they figured out that the painter might not be the one we think he is.
Now, that's what we've got experts for...

Found the article:

ART CRITICS RECONSIDER 'McCARTNEY IS DEAD' MYTH    
 
 
New York's top art critics are refuelling the rock 'n' roll myth that PAUL McCARTNEY died over three decades ago - after taking a rare close-up view of his paintings.

Top Big Apple celebrity art expert BAIRD JONES staged a one-night exhibition of JOHN LENNON and McCartney art from his own personal collection at New York club Deep earlier this month (15SEP05) and was left stunned by the reactions of his "austere" friends.

A fan of McCartney's art for years, Jones admits it took the opinions of his critical pals to make him realise that the 'Paul is dead' rumours that started in the late 1960s could be true.

He explains, "There were lots of questions about why he (McCartney) predominantly uses the colour red in ways one would not. It's the colour of blood and death.

"The critics were asking questions like, 'Why is there so much red in the garden (painting) and on the beach (painting)? It's macabre.' Call it art psychoanalysis, but the 'Paul is dead' rumour has started to spread.

"These were highbrow, austere people who take their art seriously. Some had never really had the chance to see McCartney's art up close."

Jones now claims there are major clues in McCartney's art that suggest the rocker might not be what he seems to be.

He explains, "It's one more sign that this man is communicating something. Red has been a dominant colour of his for some time.

"It might be evidence that the Paul McCartney we think we know is not Paul McCartney; he's an imposter - and here's a signal."

Found this. Sorry, it is true. From a site naming famous Everton-fans

Sir Paul McCartney (Musician)

The loveable Mop Top from the world's greatest group once penned "Can't Buy Me Love. No. No. No. Noooo" That may be true but he could of bought us a new f**king ground. When Macca is not creosoting his bird's leg or getting beaten at Twister by Lady McCartney-Mills, Sir Paul loves nothing more than sitting back, lighting up a spliff and watching old Everton DVD's. Paul may "..believe in Yesterday" but today's Blues team ain't half bad either!

The answer, James, is ambiguous at best. The Beatles were never regulars at either Anfield or Goodison Park - so it really depends on which titbit of folklore you choose to swallow.

Blimey, that is THE clue of the century - and it was SO glaringly obvious! I have just converted to Paulisdeadism! ;D

I've noted elsewhere on the board that there's a famous picture of the Beatles, taken in 1962 or '63, with Paul holding a cigarette in his RIGHT hand. That means he was already dead in 1963! Now, how's that for a clue.

Awesome site, Kate!

It's in the eyes.  Faul's are narrower, beadier.  He's probably a reptilian.  Those boys at EMI were deep into top secret military projects.  Music was just a sideline-until they realized that it was a great method of mass hypnosis.  

The real Paul tried to blow the cover on whole thing and had an "accident."  Then Faul moved in and took over the band.  Yoko was recruited through a Japanese spy ring to get John hooked on heroin and take him out of the picture.  She brainwashed him with the silly "peace" initiatives, in the hopes that we'd let our guard down so that the reptilians could conquer us without the threat of nukes.  

Faul must have also had some kind of onboard drumming program--which is why he started pestering Ringo about the looseness and swing of his drumming.  

Remember, beware the buckyballs . . . .

What a sad waste of time - I feel sorry for the guy (if it's a guy) who sat there all those hours and came up with that.

Paul McCartney is Viv Stanshall (of the Bonzos) AND Neil Aspinall??? And where does Don Knotts fit into all this exactly???

I actually laughed a lot!!

I thought the Don Knotts bit was the true stroke of genius.  It wasn't from left field, it was out of the park.  But what better front than bumbling Barney Fife?  Apps, sounds like you've been checking out abovetopsecret.com for reptilians and other real lunacy.

I'm looking forward to that second broadcast, raxo.  As I said, I was around when this all happened for the first time.  We got a kick out of all those "clues" and figured the Beatles were just goofing on all of us.  Everyone I knew was buying Beatles albums and playing them backwards and forwards at different speeds.  They certainly sold a lot of records, from Rubber Soul through Abbey Road in late 1969!

What a sad waste of time - I feel sorry for the guy (if it's a guy) who sat there all those hours and came up with that.

Paul McCartney is Viv Stanshall (of the Bonzos) AND Neil Aspinall??? And where does Don Knotts fit into all this exactly???

I actually laughed a lot!!

Good find Kate ;D

yeah, sad isn't he/she/it? But a good laugh anyway.

Think I could do something like that....with another theory.....plot is.....John's dead.....Yoko is behind all this...has FBI been fooled?....or has John been fooled?.....

This would make a nice fiction-thriller-story .... ;) :P

Yeah he does Az. He left his wife for some young (as in like 18 to his 50something) desciple i think. All I know is 'the son of god' has to catch the ferry to the mainland like the rest of us. lol

Would be funny to see him walk across water. He was a really good proffesional soccer goalkeeper. His son is trying to front a band at the mo. I can see the headlines.... 'Grandson of God hits the charts.' heheheheh

I'll be honest...i have not checked out his work although for some reason i managed to be flicking through a copy of his corrected draft version of his famous book. Whacky stuff. Still, could be conceived by any drug-taking, middle aged crisis, frustrated career man. lol
He has suffered great ridicule in ths country.

My English term paper last semester was also on the hoax.  Another easy A, and I was surprised that it was written so well!

Tell me it's not true!!! lol

SIR PAUL McCARTNEY has outraged fans in his native Liverpool, England - by agreeing to play a concert at the ground of his favourite soccer team's rivals.
The former Beatle, 65, is due to perform at Liverpool Football Club's Anfield stadium on 1 June (08 ) to celebrate the city being named 2008's European Capital of Culture - despite declaring himself a supporter of the opposing local team, Everton.
He says, "It is always lovely for me to go back to Liverpool and play for the home crowd. I am looking forward to that, it should be cool, even though I am in Everton fan officially. When it comes to the crunch, my dad was born in Everton."

Paul McCartney Admits Beatles Planned Death Hoax
by Bruce Spizer

(Originally Published April 1, 2004)

While on a recent quick vacation in New Orleans, Paul McCartney let his guard down and admitted what some Beatles fans have suspected for years. He confirmed that the "Paul is dead" clues found in several Beatles album covers and songs were deliberately planted by the group as part of an elaborate scheme dating back to the summer of 1966.

According to McCartney, the plan was formulated by manager Brian Epstein. "Brian dropped by the studio to hear the playback of our latest single, 'Paperback Writer.' He didn't like it one bit. 'Not a love song,' he said. He was concerned that the press and our fans wouldn't get it. He told us, 'People want love songs. They won't spend money for a song about a novel writer. You boys are gonna blow it with this one.' But by this time, we were running the show, not Brian. We insisted that 'Paperback Writer' would be our next single and told him that the song represented the new direction our songwriting was going in."

When contacted in London, former Beatles press agent Tony Barrow confirmed Brian's concerns. "Brian was into traditional love songs. He had told Paul to come up with another 'Yesterday' or 'Michelle' for the next single. Imagine his shock when he heard 'Paperback Writer' and 'Rain.' Not only were they not love songs, but they were so loud! We didn't know it at the time, but the Beatles had recorded the first heavy metal single. Not exactly 'Till There Was You' or 'A Taste Of Honey.' I was worried, too. I wondered, 'Had the boys gone too far this time?'"

Brian became even more concerned when he imagined an album full of unconventional songs. While a fan might take a chance on a single, an album purchase was a big thing in those days. Due to its higher price, youngsters, particularly those in the U.K., were very careful about buying albums. That is why the Beatles often issued an EP from an album containing four of its best tracks. So Brian came up with a plan to help sell albums in the event he was right about the dangerous new direction the group was heading in. Paul explained, "When I told him our future albums would be dominated by songs about interesting people and places, his heart sank. He didn't think people would buy such albums and came up with this great idea to push sales in the event he was right and we were wrong. The idea was that we would plant clues in our songs and album covers that one of us had died in a car wreck. If after a few albums, our records weren't selling well, we'd leak out word about the clues and let our fans and the press take over. People would buy the albums to see and hear the clues. We thought, 'Wow, that's an incredible idea!' We realized it would be great fun to have all those clues sitting there undiscovered until people started going nuts looking for them all."

Tony Barrow also thought the plan was brilliant. "Nothing re-energizes a singer's career like his death. Do you really think Buddy Holly would have been so famous had he not died in that plane crash? Same for Richie Valens and certainly that one-hit wonder Big Bopper with his 'Chantilly Lace' song. And how about Otis Redding? He never had a number one hit till after he died in a plane crash. The fact that Brian came up with a car crash shows his genius. Airplane crashes were the norm."

Having sold the group on the idea, the Beatles had to decide which one of them was to "die." Brian wanted the victim to be Ringo because he was the most popular Beatle in the all-important U.S. market, but the drummer wanted nothing to do with it. Tony Barrow recalls, "Ringo flat out refused to be the one. He said, 'Being painted red in a movie is one thing, but pretending to be dead's another. I'm superstitious. Those clues might make it happen.' Brian was disappointed because he knew Ringo was the most sympathetic Beatle. You know Ringo got more mail from America than the other members of the group combined." [Author's Note: Ringo was unavailable for comment.]

After Ringo turned down the "opportunity" to die, the honor of being a dead Beatle was up for grabs. According to Paul, "George said right away he didn't feel comfortable faking his death. But it sure got him thinking. A few days later he showed up at a session with a new song called 'The Art Of Dying.' We didn't think it was that good a song, so we never recorded it. George later improved the lyrics and included it on his first album."

Paul's recollections are backed by the original lyrics to the song, which appear in George's "I Me Mine" book. The 1966 version of the song referred to Brian Epstein, who was the mastermind behind the death clues. It contained the line "Then nothing Mr. Epstein can do will keep me here with you."

With Ringo and George not willing to "die" for the good of the group, it came down to John and Paul, with both thinking it would be fab to be "dead." Paul recalls, "John wanted to be the dead Beatle, but this time I didn't cave in to John like I did on the songwriter credits. I thought it should be me because I was the second most popular Beatle. Brian agreed it should be me because he was worried that once the clues became known, people might think it was a John practical joke if John was supposedly dead. But me...Brian thought, 'No one would suspect Paul for rigging his own death. They think John's the clever one.' So I got to die."

A few days after the "Paperback Writer" listening session, the group was at Brian's office when photographer Bob Whitaker dropped by with the pictures from the butcher session. Brian asked Whitaker to shoot a picture of Paul in steamer trunk to symbolize his lying dead in a coffin. Paul picks up the story. "Bob thought it was too direct, so he suggested we stand the truck upwards and have me sit in it with the other standing around. That way, it would only look like I was lying in a coffin if the cover was turned sideways. Bob had Ringo place his hand on the trunk lid like he was closing the coffin. Brilliant! Brian told us to throw some clues into our songs. Right away John came up with 'I'm Only Sleeping,' as if 'Paul isn't dead, he's only sleeping.' Pretty subtle. Most people missed that clue, and that was one of the first!"

The "coffin trunk" photo was sent to Capitol to serve as the cover for the American album "Yesterday And Today." But when Brian saw the cover mock-up, he began having second thoughts about using the photo so early in the game. He was concerned that people might suspect Paul was dead a lot sooner than the group wanted to clues to be discovered. So Brian sent Capitol the butcher photo, knowing that it might ultimately be rejected, but at least it would deflect attention away from the provocative coffin trunk cover. The plan worked to perfection with the Butcher cover causing so much controversy that when it was "replaced" by the trunk cover, no one noticed it showed Paul lying in a coffin!

One of the casualties of the plan was Robert Freeman's unused cover for "Revolver." Paul explains that, "For 'Revolver,' Robert Freeman came up with a great cover image, but there was no death clue in it. I asked Klaus [Voormann] to do a pen and ink with a photo collage so we could throw in some clues. I had him place an image of my face in my ear. That represented a 'beetle' crawling out of the ear of my buried corpse. You know, insects get into coffins and mix with the dead bodies, crawling through eye sockets, ear openings and the like. Very creepy and very subtle. And the other clue came from Klaus drawing my face in a side profile looking to the left. The others were drawn looking forward. When you turn the cover on its side, I'm looking upward, just like I'd appear on a morgue slab or if I were buried underground. We really were into having clues appear when you turned our covers sideways. I'm surprised nobody caught those 'Revolver' clues."

According to Tony Barrow, there was one other clue planted on "Revolver." "John had this really weird song that had no title, so he called it 'Mark I.' Later he came up with 'The Void,' to symbolize the void left in the group by Paul's death. Ringo thought that was too subtle, so he came up with the perfect phrase for describing the direction the group would go in if Paul really were dead. And that was 'Tomorrow Never Knows.' Ringo was great at stuff like that."

By the time the Beatles recorded "Sgt. Pepper," the plan really took off. Tony Barrow recalls, "Brian thought 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was way out there. You can imagine his fear of an entire album of songs like that. He was terrified that Sgt. Pepper would be viewed as pretentious nonsense! He told the boys to throw in a bunch of clues on that one!"

The first song recorded for "Sgt. Pepper" was "Strawberry Fields Forever," though it ended up being used as a single. At the end of the song, John was supposed to repeat "I buried Paul" several times, but that was too obvious, so instead he said "Cranberry sauce" and then slurred his words so that "I buried Paul" sounded like "I'm very bored." The plan worked as it took over two years before anyone realized what he was really saying.

Later songs also had clues. Paul admitted that "She's Leaving Home" contained the time the car wreck supposedly occurred-"Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins." The line "Meeting a man from the motor trade" tied in the motor vehicle. And, of course, "A Day In The Life" was about a car crash. According to Paul, "The drug references were just a smoke-screen to deflect attention away from the car crash, you know. 'He blew his mind out in a car' could mean his head was crushed or he was doing drugs. Take your pick."

The cover was full of clues: the crashing car; Paul's bass made of flowers; Paul having his back to the camera on the back cover; the hand over Paul's head; and the infamous "O.P.D." patch on Paul's uniform, which was McCartney's favorite Pepper clue. "We had to work hard on that one. Someone told John that in America the letters OPD stood for 'Officially Pronounced Dead.' I remembered I had this patch with the letters "OPP," which I got in Canada. I think it stands for Ontario Police Precinct or something like that. So I got the idea to put the patch on my uniform's sleeve and shoot the picture so that the lower part of the second 'P' would not be visible, thus making it look like 'OPD.' I was quite pleased with the way it came out."

Although the sales of "Revolver" and "Pepper" made Brian realize that the clues probably weren't needed to sell records, the group kept creating more and more clues. According to Paul, "It was so neat coming up with clues that we kept doing them even thought we never thought they'd be needed to sell albums. It was great mischievous fun! When Brian died, we really went wild with it! For 'Magical Mystery Tour,' I wanted to wear a black flower on my jacket. The florist thought Alistair Taylor was nuts when he insisted they send us a black carnation. We became worried people would catch on when they saw the 'Magical Mystery Tour' booklet because the clues were so obvious. The 4 or 5 musicians, the "I was" sign. But no one caught on."

Paul stated that placing the clues was even more fun than the visual images. "Ringo had this old song, 'Don't Pass Me By,' which we had refused to record for years. But I realized it could be used for a clue. I gave him the line 'You were in a car crash and you lost your hair' And we did great stuff with backwards tape loops and mumbling. John going 'Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him.'"

Some of the clues were easy and obvious. John's "Glass Onion" even told the fans what was going on with its line "And here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul." But some were quite intricate.

According to Paul, the toughest one was "Revolution 9." "We had to come up with a phrase to go 'Number 9' when you played it backwards. Our plan was to have it go 'Number 9' on the record, but when you played it backwards it would sound like 'Paul is dead.' When we recorded 'Paul is dead' and played it backwards, it didn't go 'Number 9.' It sounded more like 'Pythagorian Theorem.' The phrase 'Macca is dead' sounded like 'Thermo nuclear' when we played it backwards. We experimented for hours until Alan Parsons came up with 'Turn me on dead man.' When we reversed the tape, it sounded like he was saying 'Number 9, number 9.' So that's how we did it."

Abbey Road engineer Alan Parsons remembers the session well. "We spent hours recording different phrases until I lucked into 'Turn me on dead man.' When I played the tape backwards and heard 'Number 9,' well, it was one of the greatest moments of my life! We were all sworn to secrecy about the clues, but now that Paul's let the cat out the bag, I can talk about it. I later recorded my own song about looking for clues, 'Eye In The Sky.'"

The last batch of clues were planted on the album cover to "Abbey Road," which was designed by Paul. McCartney came up with the idea to stage his own funeral. George, in the role of the grave digger, dressed in work clothes. Ringo, the funeral director, wore a black suit. John, the angel, wore white. Paul was barefoot, as it is the custom in several cultures to bury people without their shoes. In a subtle touch, the left-handed McCartney held a cigarette in his right hand. This was to imply that the Paul who had been with the group since mid-1966 was a right-handed imposter.

Paul recalls the other major "Abbey Road" clue with fondness. "I've always liked puns, so I wanted to have a Volkswagon Beetle represent me. Alistair Taylor arranged for a friend of his to park his VW Beetle on the street by the studio. Alistair and I placed a special license tag we had made the night before on the car. It said '28 IF,' meaning that I would have been 28 if I had lived. Unfortunately, I out-thought myself on that one. I was only 27 at the time, but I told Alistair to paint it as 28 because I didn't think "Abbey Road" would come out until I was 28. That's because I was sure that the "Get Back" album would come out first. By the time we decided to put out "Abbey Road" first, I had forgotten about that clue, so we didn't have the picture altered to have the tag read '27 IF.'"

When John told the others he was quitting the group, Paul began thinking it was time to expose the clues. "I was always nervous before a record came out, you know. Would people like it? And, in this case, what if word leaked out that John had quit? We were all worried that the album would bomb, and when word spread that John was out, we'd be forgotten. No one would buy our latest LP or our old records. The clincher was a pair of bad reviews published in 'The New York Times' and 'Rolling Stone.' I thought, oh sh*t, no one likes the long medley on side two. So I had Mal [Evans] go to Detroit and tell some college kids about the clues. One of the guys phoned in some of the clues to a radio station there. That was all it took."

Once people started looking for clues, they were easy to spot. The American press was fascinated with the story. Brian's plan worked to perfection. Not only did sales for "Abbey Road" take off, but people began buying "Sgt. Pepper," "Magical Mystery Tour" and "The White Album" to see and hear the clues. Paul hid away at his farm in Scotland to further fuel the hoax. When a reported from "Life" magazine finally caught up with him, Paul dead-panned, "If I were dead, I'd be the last to know."

The Beatles and their inner circle kept the clue caper a secret for over thirty years. Not only do we now know that the Beatles deliberately planted the clues, but we also know that it was part of a brilliant marketing plan formulated by manager Brian Epstein back in 1966. As for why Paul finally revealed the secrets behind the scheme, we may never know if it was an accidental slip up on his part or a plan to reignite sales of the Beatles catalog.

Oh! I've got Ringo is dead stuff! On the cover of the American album 'Beatles VI', Ringo is the only one not touching the knife, so it could be a cardboard stand-up. In the CD leaflet for Help!, Ringo is the only Beatle with his hands on his face, which could be someone else's hands holding him up. Same hand with Rubber Soul. On the Abbey Road album cover, Ringo is in black. In many countries, black is a color that represents death. Okay, that's a little much. This just proves that the whole 'Paul is dead' thing is B-O-L-O-G-N-A, because you can do it with any Beatle.

This doesn't have anything to do with 'Paul is Dead', but I thought it would have a good place here.

Reason #1. Strawberry Fields
In the song Strawberry Fields Forever, John is heard mumbling 'Cranberry Sauce'. Though, due to the tone and volume of this, many believe he said 'I've buried Paul'. BUT HOLD IT!!! On the Abbey Road sleeve, the Beatles are believed to be in a funeral procession-John as God, Ringo as Minister, Paul as corpse, and George as gravedigger. But hang on! These two 'clues cancel each other out because it would be strange if two people dug Paul's grave.

Reason #2 Abbey Road On the Abbey Road cover, there are many supposed

Wanna hear my theory about the whole 'Paul Is Dead' thing?  No?  Too bad, here it is!

In this theory Paul did NOT die, and the Beatles did NOT deliberately insert clues into their albums.  So how does one explain this phenomena?  Coincidence?  I think not!

It's funny that the date of Paul's supposed death (1966) corresponds roughly with the time that the Beatles (George and John at least) began using LSD.  A well documented side-effect of taking LSD (particularly in the prodigiously huge doses that people were taking at the time) is that the LSD user experiences ego death and rebirth. 

To quote from Timothy Leary's 1960s Acid Manual based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead (upon which Lennon based the lyrics for 'Tomorrow Never Knows'):

     O (name of voyager),
     That which is called ego-death is coming to you.
     Remember:
     This is now the hour of death and rebirth.
     Take advantage of this temporary death to obtain the perfect state -
     Enlightenment.

(from First Bardo Instructions, page 115 of the 1995 edition)

So what's this have to do with anything?  Well, despite the fact that McCartney was the Beatle who (after finally taking LSD in 1967) revealed to the press that he had done so, he didn't get into the LSD experience as much as the others.  He has stated in interviews that he had heard that if you take LSD too many times it irrevocably changes you, so he used it a handful of times and that was it.

So this evidence suggests that, unlike the other Beatles, Paul McCartney was a very cautious user of LSD, and didn't submit to going 'all the way' to the experience of ego death (which itself requires a heavy dose to achieve).

So the irony is that McCartney is the only Beatle NOT to have died on LSD!

So what about the hundreds of well-documented 'clues' that suggest that Paul Is Dead?  Here my theory gets a little strange, so bear with me.  I see it as a manifestation of cosmic humour, synchronicity rather than coincidence.  Strange things can happen when massive amounts of energy are unleashed, such as they were in the 1960s when the acid fad was at its height.  In a way the 'clues' were an expression of the energy of the universe (operating on the chaotic principles of self-organisation) poking fun at McCartney for keeping his ego intact instead of experiencing the oneness with everything that so profoundly affected the other Beatles.

So that's my theory, my theory that it is.  The truth is out there, eh?

If these shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended.. Don't get upset!  Take it in the spirit in which it was intended.

It's all a BIG JOKE! ;D

Hhmmmff .. Not long ago I read a book about John and Yoko (numbers also on "Paul is dead") I read how he died (a cut) I fell token!. After all I knew how he died!
I asked my parents and they did not know. I asked my history teacher, and he did not know.
  Who did not ask!! They did not know to give me an answer .. And now I know (:)

You know?

We all pretty much explained it that way in 1969. 

I like how Paul toyed with David Letterman during his appearance on Letterman's show....

Paul:  “I mean, you know, I just laughed at it and knew it was just because of the fame and the craziness. It was American DJs, so you guys are to blame. Not you personally, but – no, the thing is you know, I just laughed it off, but it was a little bit strange ‘cause people did start looking at me like, ‘Is it, is it him or a very good double?’”

Letterman:  “Well, that was the idea.  That was the other part of it, that there was a guy who looked like you taking your place,”

Paul:  (pointing to himself) "Well, no, this is him...(then smiling at the audience)...or is it?"

I saw someone quote someone on this thread, but I couldn't find the post that they quoted, but it said that Ringo's eyes were blue and the double's was not, and that was the reason he wears sunglasses all the time. Well, I was looking on the Ringo official website, like always, and I watched this video: http://media.ringostarr.com/video//2009-12-21/Update_20091209_350X180.mov (http://media.ringostarr.com/video//2009-12-21/Update_20091209_350X180.mov). You can see his eyes through his sunglasses and they are blue. ;)

Hi Everybody:

I hate to burst your bubbles that many of you think that THE REAL Paul McCartney is alive.  The person you are seeing today is the FAKE, and he is known as the FAUL McCartney.

Now many of you will say whoa wait just a minute here.  Please do that and do some investigating if you like, and you will eventually find out for yourself.

The last known official appearance of the Real Paul McCartney was on September 16, 1966 when he was attending a shindig holding a wine glass and posing for some pics with two other people who were at the party.  This is the last known official Paul himself to the best of the experts knowledge of him being ALIVE.  After this date to around the middle of October of 1966, it is surely presumed that something definitely happened to the Real Paul, and that something the REAL PAUL McCARTNEY was never seen again up to the present time and its still counting.  The fakes and the Faul McCartney began appearing in November of 1966 more than you care to realize.

Here is some of the evidence known to date.  The vocal chord octaves between the real Paul and the Fake Paul that you see today DO NOT MATCH.  Number two, the skull structure of the Fake vs the Real Paul does not match.  Number 3, up to now no known official photo of the Real Paul has surfaced since September 16, 1966.  Number 4 the Faul has many scars on his face in the efforts to make him look like the Real Paul.  In Fact we do have a pic of the Fakes real mother and it matches.  Oh wow, and you will see it yourself, and its not a mistake folks.

There is more, the FAKE does not even look close to the Real Pauls FATHER!!!  Also the genetics of the Family line is well known and this FAKE FAUL does not even come close.  Besides this, there is conclusive evidence PROVING that the Faul you see today is genuinely and definitely not the Real Paul McCartney.  Add the handwriting too, and the side of the face too!!!!  If you look close enough you will see the obvious difference.

To make it simple for you to understand.  Once the skull is fully grown, it is permanent.  You cannot change the skull.  What we have today is two different skulls, One is The Real Paul and the other is the Faul.  They do not match up not even close.  When you see this, it makes you begin to wonder.

Ah you want more.  Seek and you shall find.  The announcement by the DJ many years ago did not realize it at that time that something did happen to the Real Paul, and it was unknown to him and many others that it was actually TRUE TO ITS WORD.

The reason why we can say this now, is because of the latest technology.  Don't forget to add the retina of the eye patterns, and most of all the zinger being the DNA.  This DNA is your spinal cracker.

Listen to the song of Come Together.  Its all there if any of you like to have a start someplace.  From there start looking around.

So if any of you want to say this is not true, THEN PROVE IT with a genuine official photo of the Real Paul with the official date of that photo imprinted on the photo itself, and I can assure you that you will not be able to do so, because the REAL Paul is not around.

If by per-se chance that the Real Paul shows up on the radar screen it is suicide and how to explain the Faul himself ehhhhhh.  There you go.

The comments made from the Faul to Letterman is very typical, as the Fake himself definitely knows it was a dangerous piece of territory and one mistake would reveal everything.  So the Fake will say as little as possible and the defense he gave was minimum at best. 

John Lennon once said to the Fake Paul on one of his letters as quoted:  You better see right thru that womans eyes!!!!  Yes there are official letters between the Fake and John Lennon that has been obtained.

The shindig on the roof when the song GET BACK came out in January of 1969, was a test run to see how the FAKE will perform and do with the group out in the open, but guess what, it was done on the roof of a building of which the public cannot get a good look at the players.  It was here on that recording the voice analysis was done, and viola we do have a FAKE singing as Faul McCartney.

The only true real survivor right now is Ringo!!!!  The last man standing as all the others are DEAD.

So you will then come to me and ask me what happened to the REAL Paul??  None of us knows at current time, but we do know the Real Paul has not shown up at all since September 16, 1966 up to present time.  We do know he disappeared never to be seen again after that party in England, but what happened to him or how it happened we simply do not know.  The Come Together song pretty much gives you some good hints and details describing about what may have happened to the Real Paul.  Without the body at current moment, we cannot verify it.

We also know that the real John Lennon is DEAD, and we also know that the real George Harrison is DEAD.  This is all official.  Speaking of about John Lennon to say a few words, David Chapman was actually set up, unknown to him by two people, and he was not the person who killed John.  He was there for something else, and he did accomplished it and as it turns out he was there at the wrong time and place when John got shot.  One very good piece of evidence can prove it, as there is no way a bullet can make a 90 degree turn to hit the left side on the back when David Chapman was verified to be on the right side of Lennon at the time he was shot.  You can pretty much zero in who the killer was.  Don't let that escape you or let it deny you.  When you realize a few things from that investigation, it will come to you as a shock and the real killer is still walking around free as a bird.  It is not often that a innocent person gets blamed for something they did not do as most of the time the killers do get caught.  Now ask yourself this question >  Why would someone simply sit on a curb across the place where John got shot? Duh???? Usually when someone shoots someone they get the hell out of there and do their best to escape and not get caught.  Even if you are mental in the head you will still run like hell!!!!  This guy Chapman was simply sitting on the curb!!!!!!  It was this part that caught the attention of some well respected attorneys, and they hired some experts and  investigated the entire case and their findings will shock you indeed. The investigation clears Chapman of the killing.  I will leave you the clue of who the real killer is from the song of Come Together>  """He got ONO sideboard""""

Good Luck

Daveyo

Hey Daveyo.....use the search feature to find other like-minded believers and reports around here. Have you only just discovered this theory? You sure like Come Together eh? lol
I have that Chapman theory book somewhere. I think most things can be magnified and distorted, especially when it involves The Beatles. One things for sure, he don't sound like the Macca from 66....wonder why that is?....No way? It couldn't be old age could it?  :o
Title: Re: Paul is Dead: Story & Clues
Post by: Daveyo on March 11, 2010, 07:28:43 AM
Hi,

No I don't have a serious problem at all.  I also knew the issues about Chapman and its not a theory either.  The information was received by a well respected attorney, and yes it was discussed and debated and the scenarios were played out to see just how it happen on a physical sense.

One of the key points is the deskperson.  That person did not even know John was shot, because Yoko ran up to him screaming he was shot?  Isn't this kinda odd?  Another was about the driver of the car that night.  He says Yoko exited the car last, which would me she would be behind him because he said John was already walking inside ahead of her.  This is in the police reports not from me.  Also there are people who live around the complex, and it would have echoed all over the place.  Strange that no one even heard the multi shots being fired?  With this in mind the one part that they are certain of is there had to be a silencer used that night.

Anyway in concern of the Real Paul, many still think the Real Paul exists now and is alive.  What I am trying to point out to these specific people that it is not so, and asking them to examine it a bit further.  I am not out to tell them this or that, they need to see this for themselves and form their own opinion, but sadly it is very hard to do so when faced with outright reality.  Prior for many years we did not have that opportunity to explore all this and the internet really became of age in the 90"s. 

I do see what people wrote here.  It sure needs to be told and to point them in the right directions.

Since we all know he has not shown up officially since September 16, 1966 from that English shindig in London, a lot of years have past by.  I would say in about another 10 more years we can officially say that he is dead if he does not show up on the radar screen anywhere in the world.  So if anyone by sheer luck or by per se change just happen to catch him someplace alive after 1966, I really would like to see it and have it examined.  To this day, no one has seen him.  It is always the Faul that they see.

The Beatles were unique human beings.  Very special indeed as this was the only group I think that actually changed the music world and society almost overnight.  They were just a pure simple group of 4 guys singing their music and their music was a great departure from the 50's type of music, and so was their hairstyle etc.  No fireworks or pyrotechnics etc, or huge screens etc, and quite frankly their own amplifiers just barely had enough.  They had Vox amplifiers.  I have never seen any bands since this group, to bow down to the people after playing a song all the time.  I was fortunate to see this group back in the 60's as many of those people during that time period today are dead.  We are all fading out.  So it is up to the last originals meaning us the public who were present at that time to let the world know you do have a imposter portraying the Real Paul, and whats worse taking the title of Sir that was bestowed upon the Real Paul himself by the Queen herself.  Why rob this person his true identity and himself.

We do have that happening today on some people who have their actual identity taken and the massive headaches that come with it.

Thanks for welcoming me to the forum.  I do appreciate it.  I hope this place strives to find the real truth and state the real truth as all of us are compelled to do so to set the records straight for the future generations that is soon to come when they want to take a good long hard look at the Beatles and other groups.

The Beatles were just like any other rock band.  They had their ups and downs, their arguments, their fights, their cooperation and feelings and emotions etc.  They were not angels either.  Just looking at the schedule that they had I can understand why they were so burned out by end of 66.  EWF for example, their schedule is well spaced out with time to relax and have a personal life.  That is why they are still around.  Its not easy to keep a band together for 30 to 40 years and more.  Very hard to do.  The other band with many years of 30 plus is the Rolling Stones.  From 1900 to 1999 the three best solo singers to exist is Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson and the honorable mention is James Brown, Stevie Wonder and a few others.  The best Bands I would say is the Beatles, EWF, Commodores, Rolling Stones and honorable mentions like the Beach Boys, Paul Revere and the Raiders and a few others like Kiss etc.  All of these shaped up music like never before.  So I would say the Age of Music occurred from the middle 50's up to middle 80's.  Rapping music and punk music is for the birds.  Other people might see this differently but this is my opinion for myself.

If I had a wish to the Shining Star, I would wish to see the Beatles perform again live, would wish to see James Brown, and Mike Jackson.  Jackson may not have looked that great as we all know, after he destroyed his face for some funky reason, but his type of music was darn very good by itself notwithstanding his personal problems he had out in society.  His performances and showmanship is hard to forget.  I was lucky to meet him in person, to talk to him and see him, as well as being with the Commodores in Chicago that one special night I had with them because I took the relatives belonging to a Commodore player to see them in person.  Courtesy of Willie King.  The place was at the Hotel Washington in Chicago.  I have many pics of me being with them.  Stayed with them till late morning hours and left around 5 AM.  It was a rare booking that the Commodores and Michael Jackson were to perfom the same place for two nights.  Usually this does not happen.

Anyway, thanks again for your welcome message.

Daveyo,

Obviously you have every right to believe whatever you want to believe.

But if your theory is right, that would mean they found someone:

- Who sounded, talked and sang exactly like Paul
- Who looked exactly like Paul
- Who had the same wit and charisma as Paul
- Who could write international #1 hits just like Paul
- Who in fact was arguably more talented than Paul, because the album widely regarded as the Beatles' best was made after the "real" Paul died
- Who could play bass and guitar exactly like Paul did
- Who was left-handed like Paul
- Who also had a Liverpudlian accent, or has been able to fake it for decades without ever falling out of his role
- Who in fact was so identical in every way to Paul, one of the most popular and famous people on the planet at the time, that he had hundreds of millions of people fooled for 44 years
- Who was willing to leave his own life behind, to this day has cut all ties with his old relatives and friends and somehow has never been reported missing
- Who does not have a single relative, friend or acquaintance from his old life who since 1966 has recognized him as the person that he actually is
- Who has been able to keep such a big secret for 44 years

And on top of that, nobody who prior to 1966 was close to either the real or the fake Paul McCartney ever "spilled the beans" in the past 44 years (though it no doubt would've been very lucrative).

Also, how did The Beatles, who weren't even able to cross the street unnoticed, manage to secretly find this mysterious "Faul" person and prepare him for his new role, all in a matter of a couple of weeks?

Furthermore, why would they have gone through all the trouble of replacing a dead/missing person with a look-a-like? It's common knowledge that dying is pretty much the best thing you can possibly do to boost your record sales.

It all seems a bit unlikely, doesn't it?
Title: Re: Paul is Dead: Story & Clues
Post by: Daveyo on March 12, 2010, 07:50:18 AM
Hi Joost;

I do appreciate your post, and do agree everybody has a right to believer whatever it may be.

I would like to comment sort of from what you said.  OK. 

The sound is way off, because the vocal chord octaves are not the same.  This is well known and proven by experts who did analyzed it.  For most people they will not notice it that much, ( and I definitely did notice the change back in 1969 when Get Back came out but I could not pinpoint it at that time of why) but when you combine the vocals of Faul with the real John together singing it becomes quite obvious provided you really study and listen and hear the voices of the real Paul, and of John for the years they were together.  Every person alive today has a different vocal octave, and its another tool just like fingerprints.  None are the same anywhere in the world.

Next the looks was all done surgically.  You have to see and take a close look at all the scars that the Faul has on his face.  In fact he does have one scar in the adams apple area and had it shaved off.  The biggest tip off was the ears my friend.  This they could not duplicate it, and if you look at the real Paul vs the Faul you will see this glaring difference.  Another is the skull itself, and they do not match. Skulls become permanent when fully grown.  Yes you can alter the jawbone, the cheekbone, the adams apple etcs, put in fillers to the face but you cannot change the skull.  Another is the entire physical aspects.  Why all of a sudden is this Faul taller than the others.  You can see this when you compare them together.  The three had the same height except for Ringo who was smaller than the others.  Watch their concerts and you will see.  On the Get Back the Faul is definitely taller and bigger here than the others and was flapping his right hand on the fret board which is very unusual for a Bass.  I myself play the Bass too, and noticed this but most people will not even twink an eye to see this themselves.

The wit and charisma is different.  Again you must study the real Paul vs the Faul and you will begin to see it.  Its very different between the two of them but again who took the time to also notice this?

The Faul is not really talented and don't forget they can remix and add vocals and change the vocals etc.  Example, Michael Jackson, when he sang he wanted to keep the same voice pitch even at the age of 50 and at this point it is very difficult but with the tuning they have on the mixers it can be adjusted to keep and sound the same deal.  Not hard to do.

The Faul was born and raised around Liverpool so the accent will be there. 

Yes with a lot of practice and training one can learn to play bass and guitar, left handed.  It takes time but it can be achieved.

I am right handed but like to hit the balls left handed playing baseball.  I throw right handed. So I am sort of like a switch hitter, be it a left handed or right handed pitcher.  Ok   

Yes I agree that this Faul has fooled people for the last 44 years.  That is why today, the real Paul will never show up now, because we are almost convinced something terribly happened during the early Fall of 66 resulting his disappearance from public view never to be seen again.  The letters from the late John really is quite to the point with his warnings to the Faul.

Yes it is not hard to sever the ties to your past provided you have the right help given to you.  Today they do have this under the Federal Protection Protocols for witnesses etc that are important or certain people they need to protect.  They will change your entire identity from top to bottom, issue new backgrounds, and whatever else is needed.  Also they have surgery done to alter their looks and are relocated to a very much different area where no one knows you at all.  Basically you start fresh right from the top on down.

Yes the secret has been kept for all these years with the help of certain individuals etc.  In the beginning it is very hard to do, but as time goes on it gets easier, and it does also create a lot of strain to the fake in the beginning, but once this fake begins to be accepted by others then the rest follows.  There are certain people that we do know that have this knowledge, but are totally frightened to even mention it for fear of their life and their families.  They are monitored day and night.  If they so much as want to spill the beans as you say, they will have a unfortunate accident happening to them resulting their death.  There are professional killers in this world who do this for a living and these are so good they will never get caught.

No this Faul was trained for minimum of three years very quietly.  In fact the training continued up to the 80's and so was the surgical techniques over the course of time.  In the meantime any professional can make these albums to look like the real Paul.  Prior to doing the scene on that street they practiced it enough to get it right. Then they did the real thing and that was it. Photograph snapped and done.  If you were to go to see the old western towns in America, or when they do the movies, it can be made to look very real.  What about this one movie called 2012.  There is no way you can have water rise up 6 miles which would be Mount Everest around the globe and be able to still breathe in that thin air and see land breaking up and falling into the sea like it showed and at the end Africa somehow rises up quite a few thousand feet so its above the water line .  If this happened the planet would explode from the earths core pressure.   Yet they were able to make the scenes appear real which makes a good movie for many around the world.

The same can be done for humans too, and yes one can find someone very close being the near exact copy.  Hmmmm, I once went to a bar many years ago, and one person came up to me telling I made the best drinks and was the best bartender he has ever seen.  I myself never was a bartender my entire life, but this person swore up and down it was me and so did several other people besides him.  So it dawned on me that it might be my long lost brother.  I was adopted so it is possible.  Never pursued it and today I wish I had pursued it to find this person.

On your last sentence, today yes it can be quite lucrative, and yet it can get quite messy too.  For the Beatles to announce the death of Paul, I am not sure what would have happened since this never took place, and I would think the higher ups feared their demise, so ...............  such was done to preserve the Beatles legacy, because they were on top of the world as a group probably bigger than Jesus as John Lennon once said.  They tried in 1969 for their comeback with a new person, but it did not work out because they could not get along with this Faul at all and were too afraid of the consequences together, and they already started something that they could not reverse.  In fact the Fauls voice is so obvious at the very end!!!!  So...... they split up.  Each to their own.  Again I might be wrong here but it seems to be the only logical explanation as to why they kept it going.  Yes Money was another part of the equation into this deal plus other tie ins that affected them.

To kevin, MJ is dead absolutely.  When I met Jackson at the Hotel Washington, he was the original uno ono and he got all that changing done about 8 years later.  He drank Orange Juice with me, and we the Commodores and Jackson and I and the relatives sat in the hallway discussing many things of many topics etc., and I even discussed some private stuff with him that night too.  What he said to me was very private, and I will keep it that way because it was never reported to this day out in the public.  Yes, his statements to me is quite lucrative, but out of respect for him and his request I will honor it and take it to my grave.  Yes Lionel Ritchie, Orange and King were near me and quite frankly in spite of their stardom status, they were all normal people just like you and I.  Today Orange is dead RIP.

Anyway, with all that face changing MJ did, who in the world would want to look exactly like him as a copy.  I know I wouldn't.  Something happened to him mentally but I do not know what it was, since all that took place after my encounter with him in 77.  And also you cannot find a person who can dance and move around like MJ did.  In such short notice.  Impossible.  Two autopsies done verify its the real MJ, and the coroner's statement, and the funeral home and of course the police too.  Naw, no imposter around today, and MJ is definitely dead and buried in steel and concrete.  RIP  He ended up being a junkie and wanted to sleep and sleep he got which is permanent.  Propofol is illegal to have personally, and it is closely monitored, yet Doctors can get it themselves, but such is recorded.  Its primarily used in hospitals.  Combined this with all the other drugs he was taking that same 12 hour time period, it became lethal.  Look what happened to Corey Haim and a few others, and truthfully I say to you, we all are druggies to some extent like it or not, and we do live in a drug induced society!!.  Find me one person who has not gotten a vaccination shot, or taken asprin, or gotten a flu shot, or taken over the counter items etc or never been injected with drugs to reduce pain etc., their entire life and I will pay for a Gold medal if authentic.  We all have gotten it in our lives at one time or another.  Even the illegal stuff too.  Whoooooooo man.

Hmmm, look at what Toyota did.  They covered up a lot all these years, and don't think that GM or Ford did not either.  Some get exposed and others escape being noticed.  Corruption rules on this planet even in your own homes like it or not.  Its the way of life.  Everybody looks for the angle to get ahead, and has been since humans started regardless of what you do.  Sooner or later some do pay the price for their greed, and others seem to slide right by unscathed.  This part is reality so........you're either damned if you do or damned if you don't.  Take your pick.

Like I said I am most fortunate to have been present and see and to hear and to witness some of the best musicians ever play, even be with them in person and for that I cherish it fondly in my memory.  It is something that cannot be repeated ever again.  I think all of us feel that way from time to time.  We all have something special involving our lives, and if it is good, then do your best to remember it and not forget it.  When it touches us it is indeed a small precious gift, and once gone its gone forever.  This is how I feel about the Beatles and other things that came into my life.

Is this really the kind of forum where those conspiracy-guys have a platform? Really, this kind of Paul/Faul obsessed people recently started to spam everywhere. I just signed up to this forum to have a peaceful and happy Beatles chat once in a while and again: there is one of them.

Really?

"The reason why we can say this now, is because of the latest technology.  Don't forget to add the retina of the eye patterns, and most of all the zinger being the DNA.  This DNA is your spinal cracker."
"The Faul is not really talented and don't forget they can remix and add vocals and change the vocals etc."
"No this Faul was trained for minimum of three years very quietly.  In fact the training continued up to the 80's and so was the surgical techniques over the course of time."
"There is more, the FAKE does not even look close to the Real Pauls FATHER!!!  Also the genetics of the Family line is well known and this FAKE FAUL does not even come close."




Stuff like that is not really an opinion, to me it is blatant gibberish and trolling.


I appeal to the mods, to let this forum be a place for fans who don't want to fight with obsessed conspiracy theorists. please!

I am loathe to ban or censor anyone because they say or believe things different to the norm. And let's face it, The Paul Is Dead thing is a fun bit of The Beatles story.
And damn, if Daveyo doesn't actually seem sincere. I know he takes his crusade around the forums, and generally is met by a torrent of abuse, but....
- as long as he doesn't post the same thing over and over again
- doesn't clog the place up with mile long posts
- remains (or appears to be) sincere, rather than some a*se just trying to cause trouble, then I don't have a problem.

To be honest, people like this (I'm thinking Fanoffab4 and the catholic guy) tend to arrive in a blase of glory and then just as quickly disapear. They prefer to rant rather than discuss. They prefer confrontation. They're our Beatle Westboro Baptists or Beatle Talebans.
If the majority think they're being silly, the majority should just ignore them, or smile, and they soon get p*ssed off and disapear. Banning them or getting angry is what they want.
But I think Daveyo might turn out to be a decent enough chap who might want to join in other threads as well.

Sorry if my posts were too long for you.  The point I was trying to say with the proof included so you wouldn't doubt me, is something happened to the real Paul in 66, and I wish this being not so, but he has never been seen since up to now.  

How other people will respond when the truth is revealed remains to be seen but at least I told you the truth.  Please accept my apologys if I annoyed you in any way.  I would like to go to the thread of John Lennon, but I am afraid because of what I see here.  I have information about John Lennon, submitted to me from a Attorney who investigated the incident himself.   This attorney is one of the most respected people and he made a lot of sense from his findings which most of us today are not aware of.  So I would like to walk tip toe now.

The point I was trying to say with the proof included so you wouldn't doubt me
No offense, but what proof? All you've presented so far are theories. "Investigators say..." or "scientists found out that..." doesn't mean anything unless you can at least give us some names, numbers and details. The shape of his skull changed? Says who and where's the undeniable proof? His voice changed? Which experts confirm this? He just learned how to play bass and guitar with his wrong hand? That's possible, but I can assure you that if you're going to train a right-handed adult (the older you are, the slower you learn) to play bass and guitar with his left hand, it'll take him many years before he'll be as good as Paul was at the time, if he'll ever get there at all.

I could go on and on. To be honest, this whole theory has so many plot holes that a fiction writer would never get away with it.

I have information about John Lennon, submitted to me from a Attorney who investigated the incident himself.   This attorney is one of the most respected people
Some of the greatest swindlers in history were smart, respectable people in high positions.

Again, no offense here, you seem to me like a nice guy who's trying to get his point accross without stepping on any toes and I really respect that, but if you want us to believe such a wild story, you're going to have to come up with some pretty darn good evidence. :)

Been trying to put the pics in and the upload folder is full.  How is it possible, and I just joined as the three pics total only 72kb which is small.  1 set is 39kb and the other is 33 kb.

Are we allowed to post pics here or not.

If not I do have an alternative but you will have to click on the link to see it, but I would rather have it here in the forum so people can see.

Any suggestions.   I see also the Admin has the older version of SMF.  The update should be 1.1.11  I have SMF too and my own site.  I have the latest and of course they are already into 2.0RC

Would appreciate it.

Hi Joost

I am trying to do this as best as I can so what I am doing is transferring a lot of files over to the photobucket site so you and others can see the evidence.  it gets even better as you begin to see it yourself.

The ears joost is like the fingerprints of a person.  The ears do not change over time and it points straight to the genetics of the person from the parents.  Ears don't get bigger or smaller once fully grown. It is like the skull.  Fingerprints do not change as you get older either.  That too is permanent.

As to the pic that I started this is what you need to look for besides the entire ear.

James Paul McCartney ear lobe is completely "attached" to the skin of his mandible.
Faul's ear lobe is perfectly separated from the skin of his mandible.

Police departments also use this for positive identification of people as well. being one of their tools.  Besides the DNA, or fingerprints or the eye retina and skull.  The coroners do this all the time to verify dead bodies.  The Police and FBI use the other means first to identify people.

What you see here pertaining to the ears being completely different is quite how should I say it, very damning because it certainly raises up a huge pandora's box.  I have pics of George Harrison of his ears and it never changed since 1966 to the time of his death.  I also have pics of John from the 60's up to his death, and it remained the same.  Even Ringo was compared and it never changed all these years.

I even tested myself to convince myself as well.  I took pics of me when I was around 22 and now almost 60 years old and it is still the same - and it never changed.  If you have pics of yourself when you were around 22 and if you are say like 60 or 40 take a look and you will see yours still remain the same over the years.

I will post more so give me a chance to arrange it.

Thanks

Daveyo

I was interested in his thoughts on the conspiracy theory.
...until I read this:

Speaking of about John Lennon to say a few words, David Chapman was actually set up, unknown to him by two people, and he was not the person who killed John.  He was there for something else, and he did accomplished it and as it turns out he was there at the wrong time and place when John got shot.  One very good piece of evidence can prove it, as there is no way a bullet can make a 90 degree turn to hit the left side on the back when David Chapman was verified to be on the right side of Lennon at the time he was shot.  You can pretty much zero in who the killer was.  Don't let that escape you or let it deny you.  When you realize a few things from that investigation, it will come to you as a shock and the real killer is still walking around free as a bird.  It is not often that a innocent person gets blamed for something they did not do as most of the time the killers do get caught.  Now ask yourself this question >  Why would someone simply sit on a curb across the place where John got shot? Duh???? Usually when someone shoots someone they get the hell out of there and do their best to escape and not get caught.  Even if you are mental in the head you will still run like hell!!!!  This guy Chapman was simply sitting on the curb!!!!!!  It was this part that caught the attention of some well respected attorneys, and they hired some experts and  investigated the entire case and their findings will shock you indeed. The investigation clears Chapman of the killing.  I will leave you the clue of who the real killer is from the song of Come Together>  """He got ONO sideboard""""

Title: Re: Paul is Dead: Story & Clues
Post by: Daveyo on March 13, 2010, 05:57:37 PM
I forgot to mention about Billy Shears, and he is a natural left handed person.  Billy Shears and the Faul you see today is the same person.  The ear and the lobes match.  By the way there is a 45 + years spread between these two shots and these same two ears definitely did not grow or shrink either.

Just curious has anyone seen Faul's mother?  I myself when I first saw it, I could not believe how similar they both look side by side so I made an inquiry and questioned it at length and as it turns out its Fauls mother.

I will post the ears shortly as I get it put together for you.

Thanks for your patience as the uploading takes time.

Alright, many people in my family work with mentally ill people, and there are a few in my family (I.E. Schitzophrenia runs in my family) and in most cases a mentally ill person wouldn't run. For one reason, they would think what they did was the right thing. They believe people would agree with them about shooting John, he most likely thought the world wanted him gone and they would praise him for it. Also, someone like Chapman most likely ran through the scenerio so many times in his head that he knew exactly what he was going to do. But he forgot what would happen to him after his deed was done. He maybe froze up and didn't know know what to do, or he thought that they would take John away and he would go on his way. So those are two legit reasons he might have not ran for his life. There's probably a thousand other reasons someone mentally ill might not run, so just because he didn't run away doesn't mean he didn't kill John.

No, you didn't forget to mention that, you in fact denied that several posts ago. You wrote that he was a righty who learned to play with his left hand. I wrote that it's highly unlikely that he got so good with his left hand in such a short amount of time, and now you suddenly remember he was a lefty after all?

Sorry, but I think your story keeps getting more unlikely as you go. There was a guy who looked AND sounded like Paul, AND was the same age, AND also was from Liverpool, AND was also left-handed, AND also sang and played bass and guitar, AND was just as good as Paul, AND had the same charisma and way of talking, AND he was willing to give up his own life? And you believe this because you think his ears look a bit different now than they did 45 years ago?

So far, you wouldn't have a very strong case if you were an attorney and this were a court room, sir.  ;)

Well I actually was a bit mistaken, however
"That doesn’t mean the size of people’s ears and noses doesn’t continue to increase as they age, O’Brien says. These facial features increase in length because the cartilage and skin lose elasticity, causing them to appear droopy. And gravity pulls those loose fibers downward, adding to the saggy appearance", says Robert Kotler, M.D., a cosmetic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Calif.

I know that looking at photos of my grandfather, and looking at him now, there is CERTAINLY a difference.

Hi

Ok here is Billy Shears when he was a young lad as the Brits say, around 24 years old.  And of course look at his ears carefully.  Then it will zoom up in time to the current Faul of today.  Take note of his ears too.

They are exact and it pretty much zeros in on who the Faul more likely really is.

Also here are two pics showing the last authentic official sighting of the Real Paul posing on as dated on the pic September 13, 1966.  The party continued into September 14, 1966.  This took place in England.  Some references about Paul was made around the 15th, and nothing from the 16th on up to now.

I did not mention anything about Billy Shears in my previous posts and the first time I mentioned it when I told you I forgot to say something about him.  You have to keep in mind, I did not do all the dirty work folks or do all the coverup.  I am just a normal person like you, and gradually those who have a genuine interest to investigate the matter themselves are slowly finding out the truth.  Don't blame me for all this, I did not do the coverup I did not commit the Fraud of the Century.  I am merely trying to show you something that should pique your interest and I am sure out of curiosity you would like to know many answers to your questions.  I am not Mr. Know it all.  I don't have all the answers but can only be realistic about this, and voice my opinion on it as logically as I can.  I am not saying he is dead full 100% but I am saying the odds definitely favor him being dead at this point of time more than 85%.   I am allowing that small possibility if somehow he suddenly should appear out of nowhere as some are thinking he is still alive.  But I will say in about 5 years from now he is officially dead if nothing changes between now and at that time. The bubble I am talking about is the surprise that the Faul is not the Real Paul as the vast majority today think he is as shown.

Then I will show you the Fauls mother and of the incredible similarities between them.  This woman by the way as I understand it her name is Pauline.  I don't know too much about the background on it, but there are people who are quite familiar about her.



Thanks for your patience

To An Apple Beatle the Admin

I will post it for you and its a time line post of pics and there are over 40 of them.  I do have the first appearance late 66 and I also have pics way prior to this too in showing how he was transformed over time.  Please let me know how you want me to present it, so you can see for yourself with all due respect.   But you need to know also all the scars that is on the current Fauls face as this face slowly transformed to be almost an exact look-a-like to the Real Paul McCartney.  They could not do anything about the height unfortunately which by the way is another dead give away.

Once you see these scars make a note of it.  The Fauls ear was tampered with on the very bottom of the ear lobe slightly in the attempt to change it but they backed off because it was too much to do, so they left it alone.  Only his right ear was touched but his left ear remained the same untouched.

Furthermore, keep in mind Billy Shears was kept under tight wraps for 3 solid years until January 1969 when they tried him out on the roof top.  Even I after seeing it, it was a bad as it comes and no where near close to the real Paul.  After that they split up as a group knowing the consequences was too risky if the Faul gets caught.  They were using other better look a likes during the interim, such as the Apple Studio famous walk across the street etc., but Billy Shears was their selected choice.  Reasons are unknown.

He did pop out here and there during those 3 years only briefly doing stints for the group.

I do request if possible that you can allow me to post pics directly here but I cannot because it keeps saying its full.  Can you fix this problem for me please.

Thanks.

Daveyo mate  - I don't normally argue these things, because it gives your nonsense credence, but....
your story has a cast of thousands - the people who knew Paul died, or knew "Faul," the plastic surgeons, the trainers, The Beatles and their circle and god knows who else (plus this still lurking evil mastermind, ready to send in professional hit teams to exterminate anyone who spills the beans. Nya hah hah.)

Putting aside the fact that we're talking about the member of a pop group here (not a President or a Pope), and a pop band that at the time was universally regarded as past it's peak and about to break up (singles and album sales down, declining concert numbers, Epstein forced to issue "they're not breaking up" press statements.) They were being outsold by Hermans Hermits and The Monkees for chrissakes. Why would anyone bother?

All that aside, the best evidence you can come up with is comparing photos seperated by nearly 50 years of age? Come on mate, you can't be that mad.

The other night the BBC had a documentary about whether Bin laden is still alive. Some folk have done what you've done with video images and say the differences prove he's dead.
Experts from both the CIA and MI5 and indepent security agencies all agreed that image matching is a very imprecise science and that the slightest thing - angle, light, perspective, age etc can create changes, and that they operate on a basis of degrees of certainty  (ie a 95% match means it's most likely a match), and it is almost impossible to ever have an exact match.  And these were images seperated by only 10 years

And I have a mirror. I'm 51 and can see my face changing. I'm becoming more thickset and my face is noticably sagging.

like Joost said, evidence my friend. Paranoid wishful thinking won't cut the mustard around here.

Look at the guy singing lead here in 1964:
The Beach Boys lost concert - Surfer girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsle8Y-fc4M#normal)

And here's the same guy singing lead in 1976:
The beach boys - I'm bugged at my ol'man (studio) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99pgXBv33kI#normal)

I suppose we can all agree his looks and his voice changed a lot more than Paul's ever did. Besides that, he'd dissapeared from the public eye for a few years and when he returned most of his talents seemed to have drastically paled. So a "Brian is dead" theory would be far more believable than a "Paul is dead" theory. Yet I've never heard anyone say that Brian died and was replaced by someone else.

What I'm trying to say here is that some people just see what they want to see, even if there is nothing to see.

And another thing.....
you're trying to convince us that in 1966, someone (who Dr Evil?) convinced John Lennon (who was still the bands principlal hit songwriter) that not only was Paul being replaced, but that this imposter was going to be made the bands principal focus whose songs would be given preference over his, and given credit for Pepper, MMT and Let It Be. If as you say they waited until 69 to "try him out" on the rooftop why did they submit him to those glaring closeups in Hey Jude and Let It Be. And why, if they had hit teams waiting to go, did they allow all those silly clues like "here's another clue for you all" etc.
Slipping this new guy in and then immediately making him the focal point of the group seems a tad silly to me.
And all you have is ear lobes.

Nonsense.

Ok, how many of you believe the person you see today is the real Paul?

and

How many of you believe the person you see today is not the real Paul.

A simple two questions, irrespective of what it might be, but really many have their minds made up and believe what they want to believe and it will take more than evidence to be convinced.

I somehow sense that even if the DNA somehow proves either way, none still will not believe.  It will take more than that for someone to just say hey he is not I, and I am not him.

Like John Lennon once said, let them figure it out.

Recently I have come across people claiming that Dave Dave (the infamous burn victim) is MJ, and have also seen people claiming that Elvis was replaced as well.

Who knows what they will come up next

Perhaps maybe we can call upon Peter Graves of Mission Impossible to figure it out ehhhhh.  ooops just heard he died.  Oh well.

I'm not even that much of an "obsessed" Beatles or Paul McCartney-fan (they're only my second favorite band) and I like a good conspiracy theory every now and then, so if there would actually be any good evidence for your story I don't think I would be entirely close minded about it.

But considering the facts, I would rate this story on a likeliness-scale of zero to ten (with the excistence of Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny being somewhere around zero) at about... ehm... zero.

Oh, and if there really was a "Faul" who took over in 1966, I have to say that as a songwriter, he kicked the real Paul's ass!

Ok

For all of you if you can just simply it, just what it will take for you to believe about the Real Paul being allegedly replaced or be convinced that he might be dead.  Scientifically I believe Once cremated DNA is gone forever.

Example:  DNA from Faul vs DNA from his brother Michael, or DNA from Faul vs DNA from the Real Paul (provided one can find his body somehow).  I think the best bet is Michael direct closest decendent, and would this be sufficient for many of you?

Today Michael and Ringo are I think the only ones left that hold the keys to the truth.  True or False?  I will not trust the Faul in any way shape or form because he is so questionable & there are many doubts. I think we all need something outside, something independent for accurate verification.  Who would you trust?

If there is anything else that you might be inclined to believe please state it.

TKIN for example has made a start and perhaps maybe also made a small dent in raising up this doubt level but its not enough proof wise I believe, but enough to get one to start thinking hmmm, etc., if the person has an open mind. Some of it will stand up to the legal test and some probably will not unless like some people say if that DNA is shown and officially entered, then it will turn a lot of heads I think without a doubt.

Would appreciate your input.

Daveyo

I also viewed some pics inside the Apple Studios showing the band members and alleged Faul being in there.  I don't see the date on the pics, or how it was smuggled out, or when it was taken, but somehow it now is being shown from the TKIN side.  But its a bit intriguing to say the least.  Not that it matters but it does cause interest though.

Hi Swine!!!

Hmmm, definitely your entitled to your own opinion, but ahem, may I be allowed to say something.  Ears and its style and shape is definitely some means of a way to identify someone, and if this is not so, Ok here is a test.  Go to one of your friends, and take a pic shot of your friends ear and have your friend take a pic shot of your ear.  Develop it and then compare.  Would they be the same or not?  

Also DNA is used for criminal cases now, and or for your genetic history and background.  Everyone has a different DNA sequence and also the strands are different resulting in proving something.  If one was to take your brother and you being the sister, your DNA and his DNA will practically match except at some parts that show differently between you and your brother and parts that points to your parents.  Also this can be used to find your long lost ancestors etc.  It is also used to determine and or find the diseases that you might have or its potential to have.

On a crime scene, without the defendant saying anything and they cannot find the weapon, or have any witnesses, and yet they find the DNA on the victim or some item and it is different, they search etc, and later on they get a suspect and it points to the accused after they obtain the samples are you convinced that the accuse did it even when the accuse denys doing the crime?  As far as I understand, it has met the test in criminal courts from top to bottom and they find it quite reliable and convincing.  Never the less somehow there is always something that will create the doubt and I think in some way it will always exist as long as humans exist.

So in a sense the DNA has pretty much met the test of the probable factors.  The ears itself is one means, the dental records is another means, Fingerprints is another means, the eye retina's is another means, vocal analysis is another, lie detectors is another etc.  All have some means one way or another to help clear up issues, and or identify someone whether the person is deceased or alive.  Out of all these probable factors I tend to agree the DNA is the strongest.

Anyhow I noticed the main topic says "Paul is Dead: Story & Clues.  What is true here is Paul dead or not?  hehehehehehe. So.............

How about a plausible story and credible evidence...   :-X

You come here with a highly improbable story, your only "evidence" is that someone's ear lobe looks different to you now than it did almost half a century ago and you're actually surprised that you haven't convinced everyone yet? That's a bit like throwing a rock at the White House and being surprised that the president doesn't get so scared that he resigns and flees the county...

Yeah, if you can show me an official DNA report that rules out the posibility that "Faul" and Michael are brothers, that would change things. When do you think you can show us the report?

Today Michael and Ringo are I think the only ones left that hold the keys to the truth.  True or False?
False. This would be such a huge conspiracy that there would have to be many more people involved that are or might be still alive. The people who performed plastic surgery on "Faul", people who did the paperworks, Billy Shears's old friends and relatives, family and friends of the real Paul (if one of your friends or relatives would be replaced by someone else, I suppose you'd notice it, right?), Billy's trainers, Jane Asher, George Martin...

If there is anything else that you might be inclined to believe please state it.
You haven't even really started giving us any evidence yet, have you? Show us what you've got (besides the ear lobe thing, we've seen it and we're not buying it) and we'll let you know what we think of it.

Ears and its style and shape is definitely some means of a way to identify someone, and if this is not so, Ok here is a test. Go to one of your friends, and take a pic shot of your friends ear and have your friend take a pic shot of your ear. Develop it and then compare. Would they be the same or not?
There were almost fifty years between the two pictures of the ear that you posted. Not just one year. And different camera angles and different lightning can make a big difference.

Hi

Sorry for not responding.  I have been very busy with other important private matters.  As of the DNA I wish I can get it but the guy is a half world away from me, and the chances of me even getting close is zilch.   It would have to be done by someone who has some authority, and the tracking has to be accounted for from beginning to end, etc etc. 

All I know is from the Albums and pics that many of you have yourselves and including me, and the news reports of all his surgerys etc, including seeing the bomb being his mother, really thru some curves here and caused a lot of doubt.  I myself believe and its my own opinion that the person you see today performing is not the real Paul.  Someday this will all come out and I hope it does in my lifetime.  If any of you want to see all the comparisons and reading materials etc., and maybe perhaps some of you not know about it, so here is a link

http://digilander.libero.it/jamespaul/ (http://digilander.libero.it/jamespaul/)

also see TKIN and Revolution 9

there is plenty of it all around.

Some of you are convinced and your minds are dead set on the person you see is the real paul and some of you are not. It's up to you to decide, not for me to be proving it to you.  Sure I started started talking about the topic of showing some possible evidence, and wanted to get some feedback on it, and took it under advisement not to go further,  and if you look under the main HEADING of this, it says what > Paul is Dead: Story & Clues.  Maybe I should suggest some of you to do your own research and compare and look.  I am not a professor or a know it all.  From what I have done for myself, doing my own homework, it changed my way of thinking and I am almost positive that this person is the Faul, and leave room for doubt.  One thing is for sure, no one has seen or taken a genuine picture the real Paul officially since September 13, 1966.  How can a person explain and show something when some people shoot the person down broadside ehh.

So now explain and prove how this person can be with undisputable evidence if any that the one you see today is the Real Paul that some of you say he is.  This topic says Paul is Dead, so how can he be alive?   Fair is fair right?   ;D

Hi joost

I did take a look at what you suggested for me to do.  Hmmmm, many questions still not answered and I do allow the argument from this person to enter my mind.  Like I said I am open minded and I have to say only the DNA is the way to go.

Pictures can be altered, faces can change over time, looks can change over time etc etc.  Lets go beyond that OK.  I agree with you Joost we do need some real proof, and as I said before that kind of proof is very hard to obtain.

There are some pieces that does raise doubts, and in some cases even a slightest doubt can raise the level bar quite high.  I am sure both you and I try to find the truth and hopefully both of us someday get to hear and read about the real truth.  Until then its a back and forth issue and quite debatable to say the least.

There is just something about this person that I have doubts on, and not convince entirely it being the same Paul as of 66.  Something just does not add up.  Don't really know why maybe instinct I guess or from what I have seen over the years.  TKIN by the way did not convince me regarding my thoughts, and neither did this other site you mentioned.  In regards to the album  on tlc site I tend to agree to the question so raised by that person of why they had to stretch the faces etc.  Right there is your doubt, and very first question.  I also saw two different outfits when another comparison is made from that album.  Another question and another doubt.

I also read the summary and thesis from this person too.  A lot of WHY questions. 

I myself have no intentions to add or subtract what is reported or told.  We all have to make our own decisions of what to believe in and not to believe in.  Personally the way I see this if you are there, if you saw it take place, if you hear it, then it cannot be denied.  If you are not there, if not seen and if not heard personally yourself then one cannot say this or that regardless.

So to sum it up until all of us can get the real truth be told, with something clinically proven (like example DNA) or some verified eyewitness account that can prove it conclusively, everybody will have a question in their minds one way or another. 

We both are warriors Joost, and we both battle as adversaries I suppose, but the bottom line both of us like to get the straight scoop.  I do shake you hand as a friend, and I hope you feel the same way.  Agreed?

Post by: Daveyo on March 21, 2010, 02:01:58 PM
Hi Lunch

I do believe my case concerning the issue on the death of John Lennon is quite strong as Joost is looking into the matter. 

As of the Paul McCartney being dead or alive I have stated that my reasons are gut reasons that he was replaced.  I disagree on Joost saying he is alive.  Yes they will go thru a lot of trouble to train and get the person to feel like paul, act like paul, play like paul, sing like paul and even look like the real McCoy etc.  From 66 up to around I think 71 or 73 somewhere around there the public appearances were limited and then in the 70's that is when the Paul we see today began the journey to be more public.  Also during the 70's there was talk going around about his mother being alive.  To my knowledge the real Pauls mother was dead like 20 years or so earlier.  Then pops this Pauls mother who happens to look so similar to the Paul of today facial wise.  I did not know about this and was taken back a bit a couple months ago, but wow, hehehehehehehe so I kinda wonder what the hell is going on.

Ahhhh, so many strange things happened Lunch, and none of us know anything, and the only sure fire way is that DNA period.  If any of us and I mean anyone around the world gets lucky enough to get the DNA from the Paul today and that DNA from Michael McCartney  I swear my life on it that it will not match up at all.  Until then its debatable and nothing can be construed to be BS. 8)

I have been leaning on the skull evidence, and on the voice octave evidence which to me these two things are very hard to contradict and its scientifically and medically proven.  That is all I've got that gives and raises the doubt bar quite high.  I have heard many songs from the Real Paul all thru the years up to end of summer of 66 over and over again even today at home.  Just listening to it very carefully.  It takes a long time to really get it down pat in your memory.  Then compare it afterwards, and the first one I heard was the Get Back song.  Its not the real Paul vocal wise.  Its different.  Just the sound is what I heard and nothing to do with him physically.  I knew this way back in 1969!!!!!!!!!! and at that time became suspicious of it.  But I just could not put my finger on it.  That is because I knew how he sounded and when he did the combo singing with John and with George.  When John sang in 69 his voice was still the same, with absolutely no change.  But when both sang together wow, it is quite different.

Some other things does not make sense either, like why would he go to Africa on some stupid safari trip?  He never was interested in that before. :-X

So joost and I are warriors peacefully, regarding the Paul issue.  Its good to have people argue things and hopefully someday honestly that we all can hear or read the real truth at the end before we are dead ourselves.  I am almost 60 now, and quite frankly living wise I don't have that luxury like those only 20 years old now have living wise.  I pray and hope that the truth comes out before I say goodbye forever.

Now what kind of lunch did you make for me today and what kind of punch I get to drink ehhh. ;D :D

You can't fake the entire bloomin' family!!!  In the past I have actually taken some interest in the PID thing, load of old balony in my not very humble opinion, but I have to say those conspiracy guys make you notice details you never saw before, and connect random things which are very interesting (but a load of old balony  -- did I mention that before???)    ha2ha

I do believe my case concerning the issue on the death of John Lennon is quite strong as Joost is looking into the matter.
Sorry, but that's yet another wrong assumption. We're having a discussion here so I think it's only fair that I at least try to see your point. That however, unfortionately, doesn't automatically mean that I think you have a strong case.

From 66 up to around I think 71 or 73 somewhere around there the public appearances were limited and then in the 70's that is when the Paul we see today began the journey to be more public.
But Paul never quite took a break from writing songs and recording music in the studio during those years. So I guess he got the singing and songwriting down right away?

Some other things does not make sense either, like why would he go to Africa on some stupid safari trip?  He never was interested in that before. :-X
Thousands of people go to Africa for "stupid safari trips". Why does that make no sense? We're on an incredibly interesting planet here and you never know how much time you've got to check it out. It would make no sense to me if you have the chance to see something of the world and you DON'T do it.

Very true! Actually he probably went more in public then the other three. He was the bachelor of the group at that time and did a lot of clubbing. He also was very active in the London art & underground scene and is probably the most photographed Beatle in 1966-1968.  :)

I was a bit sad and did a count for the 52 weeks from Sept 66. He appeared in public as much as John, and far more than the other two. These appearances included photo shoots, radio and TV interviews and a trip to the US to be with Jane. Hardly the actions of a man being kept under wraps.

This pic is not about Paul here, but its about my argument that if and when people change over time they can still be identified with precision as many features of the person will match including those freaky ears!!!! and the skull itself still has not changed at all.  Take a real closeeeeeeeeeeeeeee looooooook.   ;D

Check this out.  These are mug shots taken 55 years apart when the police finally caught up to this dude running a wedding chapel after skipping parole back in the 50's.  This dude originally was given the death sentence which later was resentenced to life and did 15 years and then was released and on parole 1972. He was never heard from since.  Well he ditched it and ahem, wow, they caught up to the sucker 2 days ago.  On the first mug to the left it shows you the year being 1955, and he just was caught 2 days ago and now is 78!!!!!!!  This is a 55 year spread!!!!!!!!

Now make your comparisons because this is one of the gists of my arguments that the Paul you see today is not the same Paul of yesterday.  Viva Paul McCartney - Shes got a ticket to ride she don't care.  My favorite.

This is so unreal gang, the guy on the left is the very same sap on the right, and fingerprints match and yet you all still deny.  And this is a span of 55 years.  I can just picture this.  If someone went thru the trouble to look and age very similar to the Real Paul, and did everything else via the training even vocal, you would believe it to be the Real Paul.

The ear style has not change at all, and neither did the skull and many of his features still are the same 55 years later.  Obviously many of you cannot tell or want to admit that this is the one and the same sap.  That is why I posted this pic here to see your reactions.

When he got that first mug shot he was around 22-24 years old.  The aging effect I believe is what throws most folks off and that is probably the biggest point.  The skull is never going to change via aging effect as that is permanent for virtual several hundred thousand years and longer.  The ears can go up and down, but the style of the ears remains the same like it or not.  The nose can be changed a lot and that is well proven by MJ. 

This person never had surgery on the face and was genuinely and positively identified, and I wanted to show everyone this pic to prove my point and that is the gist of my argument that the Paul you see today is not the Paul of yesterday.  It just does not match even 40 plus years later.  I wish it did, but its not so.   I wish I can get or find some expert on aging that has the computer capability to show all of you but at the moment I don't know who has it, and will find out once back in USA>

It is not ridiculous to say the least and it truly is a valid point.  Why isn't it?

Hi Swine;

Ok I think there is a way for you to understand and the idea just popped into my head.  What I will do is post 4 pics of ears OK.  You tell me which one matches.  I will first post the easy one.  Then I will post the hard one.  I think once you see it, then you will understand what I am talking about.  Fair enough

The guy was first identified by comparing him and the mug shot.  So when the police thought the person they were looking at and the mug shot, sure it looked awful close.  So they asked the sap his name and ah, well its a different name, looked at the drivers license he said who he was, yet the police again looked at the mug shot, and looked at him and decided to take him in for questioning.  Once there, when the fingerprints were sent out, the guy confessed to who he was and the identification confirmed one and the same sap. 

Swine, the police who looked at him were 90% sure it was the same person, but still had doubts that they could be wrong as everything looked in order no problem etc, and everything looked legit.  The sap knew this and was praying they go away.  Not so, and after they made him submit to the fingerprints, his cover was blown.

The same thing can happen when the police do the DNA check on a suspect, and this also can blow the cover on the suspect too.

The thing regarding the Pauls involved here, is first, we do not have the genuine actual fingerprints of the real Paul up to the end of the summer of 66.  I swear my sweet peas Swine, had we got even just one print of the real Paul, you can bet I myself would do everything I can to get any kind of print of the Paul of today and see it matches up.  Since we do not have this vital evidence, all we got now is the facial features plus other things to debate on and hopefully some day we can get that DNA and compare it to Michael the Real Pauls brother.  If not, everybody loses and this festering issue will be like cancer lasting for many many years.

As we see others age or as we see ourselves age, we often notice that ears appear to get longer in middle and old age. But do they really?

The scientific validity of this common observation has been challenged from time to time by those who maintain that ears don't really grow longer (or larger) with age - they only look as if they do - that it's all just an illusion.

They point out that since the body shrinks somewhat with age, the ears may appear to have grown longer (and larger) while actually staying the same size. So what does science say? In fact, our ears do grow longer with age. Indeed, they grow throughout our lives.

In 1990, Drs L Pelz and B Stein from Medical Branch of the University of Rostock in Germany measured the ears of 1,271 children and adolescents. They report in Padiatrie und Grenzgebiete that ear length increases "steadily and annually", but ear width remains the same.

Dr James Heathcote, a general practitioner from Kent in the UK, along with four colleagues, studied 206 patients with the mean age of 53. Dr Heathcote concluded in the 23 December 1995 British Medical Journal, that "as we get older our ears get bigger (on average by 0.22mm a year)".

The next year, in the 2 March British Medical Journal, Dr Yashhiro Asai, a physician at the Futanazu Clinic in Misaki, Japan, along with three colleagues, agreed with Heathcote. Their study of 400 consecutive patients aged 20 and older concludes "that ear length correlates significantly with age, as Heathcote showed, in Japanese people".

In 1999, Dr VF Ferrario and four colleagues from the Functional Anatomy Research Centre at the University of Milan in Italy, writing in the Journal of Craniofacial Genetic Developmental Biology, present evidence that not only do ears get longer with age, but it happens to both women and men. Men’s ears start out longer than women's and they stay that way.

Why ears grow longer with age? Gravity over time forces every body appendage to sag. The bane of human aging: If it can sag, it will sag! Ears included.

Stephen Juan, Ph.D. is an anthropologist at the University of Sydney.

So much for the ear theory.

Now for the bass. This little comparison   clearly shows that not only did Paul's hand shape and size remain consistant throughout his lifetime, but more importantly his hand technique, which like a fingerprint, is unique to each musician changes NOT ONE BIT throughout his entire lifetime.

Post by: Joost on June 07, 2010, 06:19:28 PM
Concidentally, I heard an interesting story today that kind of relates to this.

As anyone who cares about soccer will know, the World Cup soccer tournament is held every four years and it's one of the biggest sport events in the world. Second only to the Summer Olympics, probably. In 1958, the tournament was held in Sweden.

In 2002, Swedish director Johan Lofstedt made a documentary called 'Conspiracy 58'. This documentary revealed that the 1958 World Cup tournament never actually took place. Sweden did not have the financial resources to organize the tournament, and when the CIA heard about this, they decided to set up a big media conspiracy that involved the Swedish national television station, to stage the tournament. And why was the CIA interested in doing this? They used it as a test case. They figured that if they could fool the whole world into believing that such a huge sports event was taking place while it really wasn't, they could fool the world into believing pretty much anything.

So what was the evidence that the documentary provided? All kinds of shady things. On the television footage there were houses in the background that weren't actually there. The shadows of the players didn't match with the position of the sun. "Experts" were hired to tell that they searched through the archives and never found any physical evidence of the tournament taking place.

Lots of people started to believe that the 1958 World Cup really never took place. Despite the fact that 35 matches were played during the tournament, that those matches were witnessed by up to 52,000 live spectators and television cameras, that some of football's biggest icons such as Pele, Just Fontaine, Garrincha and Lev Yashin played in the tournament and that prior to 2002, nobody had ever heard even the faintest rumor about the tournament being staged.

When the people who were watching the documentary the first time around didn't know is that the documentary was completely bogus. Lofstedt had made it up, only to show how easy it is for the media to make people believe the most outrageous things with the vaguest evidence...

(If you believe that Paul is really dead, please take a hint)

Post by: Kevin on June 08, 2010, 07:59:54 AM
^Interesting. I think the crucial flaw with these conspiracy stories is that they cherry pick the few bits of "evidence" that fit their story but ignore all the rest.
Back in the 70/80's, when Chariots of The Gods was all the rage, some bloke wrote a book "proving" that aliens had had contact with some ancient race in Thailand. His "proof" was that the positioning of eight temples in an ancient complex matched exactly the formation of stars as they were at some time long ago blah blah, therefore providing a star map. Presented on its own many found this evidence compelling.
What the guy completely failed to mention was that this complex contained dozens of other temples that didn't match anything. He had merely picked those that suited his "arguement." In fact, if you take a map of modern New York it was easy to find eight famous landmarks that also provided an exact match - as long as you chose them carefully and didn't mention all those that didn't.

Sept 17th 1969,
Media on both sides of the Atlantic were running stories that said Paul McCartney was dead. He was supposedly killed in a car accident in Scotland on November 9th, 1966 and that a double had been taking his place for public appearances. In fact, Paul and his girlfriend Jane Asher were on vacation in Kenya at the time.

It's clear, isn't it? Throughout the song you can clearly hear: "Paul is dead, yes he is. But it's not too bad, we wanted to get rid of him anyway. Haven't you noticed the clues on that terrible record by The Rolling Stones? Yes yes, he is dead."

 ha2ha, you even got me  ha2ha with that comment! But I really hope that Paul(who is the real true Paul) lives to be about 90,unless he doesn't want to,then I wouldn't wish it on him.If there is any justice in this world though,Paul will outlive Keith Richards,Mick Jagger,Pete Townsend,and Roger Daltry!

OK,so Paul's father,brother Michael,stepmother and stepsister wouldn't have known the real Paul?! They must have all been in on it too then!

 
And it's a real shame that British actress Jane Asher never will talk about her 5 year romance with Paul because she is the one who could debunk and  disprove this totally ridiculous garbage! Paul met Jane in April 1963 when he was 21 and she was only 17 and they became lovers for 5 years,from 1963-early 1968 when Jane came home early from touring with her theatre company and found Paul in their bed with another woman when they were engaged to be married since December 25 1967 and she then left him for good!
 

Paul lived  in her house with her and her parents and her older brother and her younger sister for several years until they bought their own house and lived together from early 1966 to early 1968.
 
So Jane was his lover before,during and after these ludicrious claims that he died in November 1966,Jane was and is very intelligent as well as beautiful,she would have known who her real lover of 5 years was!

When William Campbell dies, the real Paul McCartney will come out hiding.

The real Paul McCartney never died, he just got tired of "Beatlemania" and so was replaced. The other band members had decided to never talk to him again, so they considered him "dead". He was replaced by a look-alike named William Campbell.

... And it isn't even April 1.

There is a pretty big clue proving that it's just a joke...
On the Abbey Road album cover, there is a Volkswagen Beatle on the left side of the road. If you look closely you'll see the license plate reads "28 IF". Paul was 28 at that time. The "IF" implies that if he weren't dead, he would be 28. Much later, after the seperation of the Beatles, Paul's album "Paul is Live" features the same famous Abbey Road scene. If you read the license plate on the Volkswagen Beatles this time, it says "51 IS". Paul was 51 at the release of the album. The license plate and the title implies that Paul is saying he is not dead, but it was a stupid joke.

Listening to a podcast that was being recorded as the recent Bon Jovi death hoax started making the rounds on the internet.

One of the hosts suggested that crap like that would never have flown in the days before the internet.  No sooner did that suggestion come out of his mouth did one of his co-hosts say "Paul is Dead rumors?

Thought that was kinda funny.  BUT, imagine if the internet was around that fateful night when that radio DJ was just reading off that for fun article.

Strangely, I first heard the rumor as early as the summer of 1968, before the Holy Grail of clues, better known as the "White Album", was released. At that time, there were precious few clues, and the rumor was (believe it or not) that Paul intended to kill himself, live on TV, on the "Ed Sullivan Show", to protest the Vietnam War. No, seriously.

It sounded like so much BS to me, I didn't even bother to do anything but laugh. I heard it from some students that attended the University of Wisconsin. Then, when the big story broke in 1969, I thought to myself, "Where have I heard this crap before?"

Personally, I'm hoping someone can prove the "John Is Alive" theory, myself.

I also heard a guy give a lecture on it once and he said toward the end of 'Gently Weeps' that George is singing 'Paul Paul'.

There was also the deal with their name being a phone number. The first three letters like they're spelled out on Magical Mystery Tour are 834, which is also the time on the board in the MMT booklet behind John the mustachioed ticket man. Supposedly someone called the number and there was a message saying "You're getting closer".

The lecturer knows his stuff. If you isolate George's vocal, it sounds like, "Oh, Paul", several times, sung in a mournful tone. Then, the ghost of Macca chimes in with "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..."

As for the MMT booklet, you have to hold it up to a mirror to clearly see the number.

Not that I believe any of it, just wanted to clarify the rumor.
Title: Re: Paul is Dead: Story & Clues
Post by: TomMo on June 09, 2012, 05:06:38 PM
Okay, here's another clue for you all: Paul's death had to have taken place before July 20, 1968. Why? This was the date when Paul's engagement with Jane Asher was ended. The Beatles were concerned that if William Campbell were to make love with Jane, she would know it wasn't the real Paul. After all, everybody knows that Paul was quite well-endowed from the clue in "Mr. Kite"...you know, Henry the Horse. And you all thought the word, "waltz", referred to a dance.

I haven't gone through the whole thread but, at the risk of possibly repeating a post I think one of the most important clues for a hoax is the banquet scene in the MMT booklet. If you don't know about it try this. Get some freinds (at least one) and open the booklet to the baquet scene. Have someone hold the open page against the wall with the mans beret at the top. Eveyone else stand back 10-15 feet and see what you get. Note that the scene was not in the movie so it was deliberatly put there with someones approval. Fun stuff but I say a hoax!
You can enjoy this more if you get a few beers going and listen to the album while doing this!

Hi everyone,

I've been a fan of this board for a while now, but this is my first post.  Sorry if this question has been raised before, but I haven't seen it.  It's just something I've always been confused about.

As I understand it, the whole "Paul is Dead" rumor started on a college campus in late 1969, then really took off when a Detroit disc jockey talked about it on his show in October of that year, followed by a NYC disc jockey later that month.

Now, one of the most famous (and obvious) "clues" is John's line in Glass Onion, "Here's another clue for you all, the walrus was Paul."  In at least one interview I've read, John said that he added that line in response to all the folks who were scouring the albums and songs for clues that Paul was dead and had been replaced by a double.

But the White Album came out in 1968, a full year before the rumor started and people started looking for clues.  So what was John responding to? 

Don't get me wrong.  I don't for a second believe Paul is dead, and I don't mean to imply that the Beatles really were placing clues in their music.  This is just something I've always been confused about, so I thought I'd ask the good folks on this board for help.

John just got his thoughts mixed up probably. My guess is that he wrote the song - just like 'I Am The Walrus' - as a "take that!" to the fans who over-analyze everything, including the whole walrus concept.

I wouldn't read too much into it, honestly.

Post by: smithee on April 18, 2013, 09:34:18 PM
Thanks for the friendly welcomes.  It's fun to actually post on this site after enjoying it as a lurker for so long.

I guess my previous post got me in a mood to think more about this whole rumor thing.  (And I agree, it probably is all in the mind.)  Has anyone who actually believes the rumor every addressed the following fairly basic questions? 

1. After going to quite a bit of effort to create a faux Paul--plastic surgery, cover-ups, presumably lessons to train the imposter to sing and play like Paul--why would the Beatles then go out of their way to place clues that would give the whole thing away?  If they thought it was important enough to do it in the first place, whytake such a big chance?  And wouldn't Billy Campbell (or Billy Shears, or whoever) say, "Wait a minute, guys, I just went through hell for this.  I gave up my whole life to be Paul.  Don't blow it for me!"  I just don't see the point of the elaborate cover-up, followed by equally elaborate clues to reveal the cover-up.

2. Generally the rumor-supporters say that Faul (there, I've said it) had to undergo a series of surgeries, which is why he looked least like "the real Paul" around the time of Sgt. Pepper.  But during that time Paul was regularly seen out and about in London at parties, shows, openings, etc.  Did anyone ever notice any scars?  They wouldn't heal overnight.

3. Most rumor-supporters say the Beatles agreed to (or initiated) the Paul-replacement to keep the band alive.  So why bother to maintain the cover-up after the band broke up?  I'm thinking especially of John around 1970-71, when he was at the peak of his Beatles myth busting, his whole "the dream is over" phase, when he also seemed most angry at Paul and didn't mind insulting him.  While he was intent on telling people the "reality" of the Beatles in the Lennon Remembers interview, for example, why didn't he say, "Plus, Paul isn't really Paul. That was just another myth."?  I guess the really hardcore rumor folks would say he feared he would be killed if he blew the secret.  But then we're back to question number 1.

And then there are the obvious issues of, I suppose, either paying off or intimidating: the police at the car crash site, the doctors and nurses who performed the surgeries on Faul, all of Paul's family and friends, all of Faul's family and friends, George Martin, and everyone else who worked with or supported the Beatles.  That's a lot of folks, and no one's blabbed after all this time? 

Sorry if all of this has been addressed before, but I haven't seen some of these pretty basic issues covered, at least to my knowledge.  Most people tend to focus on possible physical differences between Paul and Faul, and of course, the "clues."  It's good every once in a while to get back (so to speak) to the roots of the question.  I'm also not trying to be antagonistic to people who believe the rumors.  If you can answer my questions, I'm very happy to hear it.

Thanks again.

It sure sold a lot of records in late 1969.  People were buying LPs just to play them backwards!

Same thing with the "more popular than Jesus" remark.  People bought Beatles LPs just to burn them!

But OK, smithee, since you chose to make your first post in this thread, what's Paul yelling here?

I don't suppose it's, "I was killed in a car crash."  Or "Hi, my name's Willy"? 

But seriously, I'm afraid I don't hear much that's intelligible.  The best I can come up with is something like "Shakin' in the band" or *something* "in the band."

Do other folks hear something I'm missing?  To be honest, I think a lot of the backward clues and aural clues in general are like Rorschach tests, where the brain is trying to create recognizable order or patterns from something indistinct.  Like finding animals or faces in clouds.  Having said that, I do agree that the "I was Willy Campbell" line in Gratitude is kind of creepy.

Thanks for the friendly welcomes.  It's fun to actually post on this site after enjoying it as a lurker for so long.

I guess my previous post got me in a mood to think more about this whole rumor thing.  (And I agree, it probably is all in the mind.)  Has anyone who actually believes the rumor every addressed the following fairly basic questions? 



Hi Smithee.
I'm not sure what you're after here. Asking us why people believe the PID story is like asking the Pope why people believe in evolution.
In my experience folk who come here toutng this and the The FBI killed John thing are little more than slightly sad attention seekers who post  about  nothing else then disappear.
Present company excepted of course.

Hi Kevin,

Sorry, no harm intended.  Looking back through this thread, it seemed like there were posts from people who actually believe the rumors, and I thought if I was ever going to get some input from a believer this would be the place.  But if, as you say, they've all moved on (maybe they're busy tracking Paul to try to get DNA samples) then I guess I'll move on too.

This is a great forum though, so maybe I'll just try a different thread.

John Neary, the author of the article The Magical McCartney Mystery, mentioned that the black walrus was a folk symbol of death...

Hi Kevin,

Thanks, I was afraid I screwed up with my very first post here.  Sort of like showing up at a party where you don't know anyone and right away spilling a drink on the host.

Anyway, just because I like stuff like this, I'm going to propose a new theory.  (And no, I don't seriously believe this either.  I'm just doing it to show how "clues" can be interpreted many ways.)  Here we go: 

Ringo is dead!

That's right, the clues were real, but we got the wrong guy.  What if it was Ringo who died in that car accident, not Paul?  Let's see...

Sergeant Pepper:  Yes, the cover is a grave site, but if you look at the wax figures of the "old" Beatles, Ringo is in front of the other three, not in line.  He certainly looks the saddest of the four, and Paul seems to have his hand on Ringo's shoulder, comforting him.  In the actual music, when the band sings, "So let me introduce to you the one and only Billy Shears," who then starts to sing?  Right, it's Ringo.  If they meant that Paul was Billy Shears, they would have gone into Fixing a Hole, not With a Little Help from My Friends.  And don't forget, a couple years later, in I'm the Greatest, Ringo sings explicitly, "Yes, my name is Billy Shears.  You know it has been for so many years."  Surely a confession.  Speaking of With a Little Help from My Friends, Ringo is the one who asks, "What would you do if I sang out of tune?"  Is he worried that he won't fit in as the new Ringo?  But no, he "gets by with a little help from my friends."  The other three are helping him with his impersonation.  All of the other lyric clues on Sgt. Pepper still stand:  "He blew his mind out in a car", etc.

The White Album:  It's Ringo who sings, "you were in a car crash, and you lost your hair."  Was he singing this to the "real" Ringo, the man he replaced?

Abbey Road:  Yes, the cover is a funeral procession, but at least in America (I don't know the traditions in England) the body of the person to be buried usually goes before the mourners, who follow behind.  Therefore, John is the minister/priest/whatever, poor Ringo is the corpse, to be buried in his best suit, Paul is a mourner (surely being barefoot must be a sign of mourning in some culture somewhere in the world) and George is still the gravedigger.

The Batman comic book, shown earlier in the thread, nearly gets it right, or was it planted to show the Beatles' real intent?  In the comic, the band member who's thought to be dead, confesses at the end that he's still alive; it's the others who were killed.  Maybe some of the "Paul" specific clues, like the black carnation in Magical Mystery Tour, were intended to focus our attention on the wrong guy, so we wouldn't look too closely at Faux Ringo.

The other clues about car crashes, death, three Beatles, etc. could simply be referring to the death of Ringo, not Paul.  In a way, this makes more sense than a fake Paul.  At least according to legend, Ringo got more fan mail than any of the others, so it would be important to keep his death a secret from the fans.  And it would certainly be easier to cover up his death than Paul's; you don't need to explain how this imposter could write songs as well as a Paul imposter, or sing as well.  Ringo didn't write many songs, and no one ever said he was a great singer.  Likeable, but not great.

I'm sure if I went through all the albums, studied the covers and played the songs backwards with this in mind, I could find more clues, but this is just off the top of my head.  I would have placed this post in the "Ringo is Dead" thread, but for some inexplicable reason that thread doesn't exist.  A cover-up?

HelloGoodbye,

I gotta be honest, I'm not getting it.  Even listening to it after reading what Paul's supposed to be saying, I still don't hear it.  Still sounds like "Shaking (or something) in the band, in the band."  Maybe it's me.  I'm usually fine at hearing all the other aural clues, but this one's beyond me.

But I think I may have found a clue that I haven't seen folks mention before.  In the promo music video for Strawberry Fields Forever, the one where the Beatles are playing around near a broken piano and a tree, check out about 1:20 into it.  This is when John is singing, "No one, I think, is in my tree."  But just at that moment, someone *is* in the tree...Paul!  Just a coincidence?  I think not!  Is this John's way of saying that the person in the tree isn't real? In other words, Paul is dead!

I would have embedded the video in my post, but I don't seem to be smart enough to do that.  (I'm not particularly bright.)

My buddy has passed the point of being interesting when it comes to conspiracy theories (he's flat out exhausting now) and he drilled me yesterday for almost an hour in how he thinks Paul really did die, but not in the car accident, but being murdered.  I guess he read some article that some girl stated that he was murdered for some reason and that the Beatles had been training his doppelganger up until that point.  Its completely ludicrous, but my friend believes in that sh*t and wont let it go.  He says there are photos of Paul and Jane before in which Paul is taller or shorter (I cant remember) then later pictures (Gave him a million reasons for that being possible,,,shoes, hair, slope of the ground,etc,,,).  He says Pauls teeth are different in later photos.  He also goes as far as saying that his voice sounds different from Revolver on.  Anyways, he's killing me and has challenged me to present to him proof that Paul never died.  I barely have the energy to even consider diving into this, but does anybody have concrete proof other then just normal common sense?  If not, I guess i'll kill a few hours.

Todd, I wouldn't spend too much time trying to disprove his theory. I deal with this sort of thing a lot where I work. I hear stuff from patrons all the time that makes me want to say, "Are you SERIOUS?" but of course I can't. Even if I could they would not change their minds anyway so I just acknowledge that I've heard them without saying I agree. You shouldn't have to present proof, just tell him that you can see he's given this a lot of thought then believe what you and I both know is true. But if all else fails show him this:

Yes. Good luck. The essence of conspiracy theorists is that all evidence is evidence of a conspiracy regardless of what it says.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKXsrWrmbAg# (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKXsrWrmbAg#)


Last night Cutie called a cab
-Baby don't do it
She left her East Side room so drab
-Baby don't do it
She went out on the town
Knowing it would make her lover frown
-Death cab for Cutie
-Death cab for Cutie
Someone's going to make you pay your fare

The cab was racing through the night
-Baby don't do it
His eyes in the mirror, keeping Cutie in sight
-Baby don't do it
When he saw Cutie it gave him a thrill
Don't you know Baby, curves can kill
-Death cab for Cutie
-Death cab for Cutie
Someone's going to make you pay your fare

Cutie, don't you play with fate
Don't leave your lover alone
If you go out on this date
His heart will turn to stone

Bad girl Cutie, what have you done
-Baby don't do it
Slipping sliding down Highway 31
-Baby don't do it
The traffic lights changed from green to red
They tried to stop but they both wound up dead
-Death cab for Cutie
-Death cab for Cutie
Someone's going to make you pay your fare
Someone's going to make you pay your fare
Someone's going to make you pay your fare
Someone's going to make you pay your fare

Hello Goodbye:  Thanks for posting this.

I want to say that I was trying to listen to Paul backwards and I got this:

1:15 - Help Mir; Help Help!  2ch  "Mir means me in German"
1:47 - Here's from Nirvana.  "Nirvana would mean the After Life, I assume.)

Also, I noted that Paul sounded like he was singing in German while singing backwards.

Maybe this suggests that as Paul had flashbacks of his life, he was remembering the Beatles' Hamburg gigs.

why would the person replacing Paul not want his own credit all these years?

First of all, there may be more than one "fake Paul."  If one of them admits to the hoax, they might all be forced to.  This could lead to major legal repercussions.  Angry fans could file lawsuits at the deception.  Some fans might even require emergency psychiatric treatment considering that they'd been lied to all these years.  Imagine the horror of believing Paul to be real and rudely and shockingly learning that he was not.

I've read various articles about the fake Paul or Pauls.  A fake Paul is commonly referred to as "Faul."

It has been alleged that more than one imposter was needed in order to convincingly mask the absence of the real Paul, who was an extremely talented individual and songwriter.  A team of secret writers then produced the song catalog which successfully mimicked the song style of the real Paul.  All of these writers could lose out on their secretly-paid royalties if it were revealed that they had been writing Paul's songs all these years.  They might also be blamed for the declining sales and fan appeal of Paul's solo albums after the 1980s.

Also, how would fans feel about the Beatles if they knew they'd been lied to in such a major way?  I dare say that the fake Paul or Pauls need to maintain his/their secrecy both for their sakes and ours, the fans who continue to revere them despite the passing of almost a half century!!

And Paul is wearing a black carnation. 

In the article “Magical McCartney Mystery” by John Neary that appeared in the November 7, 1969, issue of Life magazine at the height of the “Paul is dead” hysteria, Paul denied that the black carnation had any significance at all.  He explained, “I was wearing a black flower because they ran out of red ones.”  According to the Online Flowers Guide, however, “Black carnations are quite rare and avoided mostly because they symbolize mourning and, therefore, death.”

Hello:

Yes, Paul's mother should certainly recognize him.  However, she is dead so he would need to also be dead to be recognized by her.  The problem is she doesn't know him and he is asking why.  Could it be that Paul's imposter was the one who died and not the real Paul?

Consider this:  Before Paul supposedly died, Beatle imposters had been hired to fill in for the Beatles if any one of them got sick and could not perform at a concert.  In order to avoid legal ramifications and fans demanding their concert ticket money back, fake Beatles would appear on stage and fans would not notice the difference.

Perhaps a fake Paul died at that time and then word got out.  However, the information got distorted that the real Paul had died.  When the fake Paul died, Paul's real mother would not have recognized him as her son.  Rather she might have said:  "Who is this now?"  And then the fake Paul finally admits "I was William Campbell."  In death, the fake Paul may have believed himself to be the real Paul until he confronted the real Paul's deceased mom who obviously would not have recognized him  After a moment of shock, the fake Paul would have remembered that he was indeed William Campbell.

I am now proposing a new theory:  that a fake Paul died and his death got confused with the real Paul having died, which he didn't.



Title: Re: Paul is Dead: Story & Clues
Post by: Loco Mo on January 20, 2019, 03:02:10 PM
Okay.  One more thing I want to add.  Some of you may say:  "Loco, if a fake Paul had died, why wouldn't the Beatles simply have stated that instead of allowing people to believe that the real Paul had expired in an untimely manner?"

Here's the answer:  The Beatles couldn't have admitted that they had employed the services of a fake Paul.  The fans would have felt duped and betrayed by the mere hint of a counterfeit Beatle having entertained them.

Think of all the fans who got autographs from the fake Paul (which would now be deemed inauthentic).  What if some fans sold those autographs and now were subject to their buyers demanding their money back or threatening court action?  Even worse, think of the fans who may have visited the fake Paul backstage after a concert.  (I won't even go there.)

Yes, the Beatles generated the "Paul is dead" hoax because it distracted from the real truth that a fake Paul had died.  Maybe the Beatles thought everyone would assume the idea was ridiculous and laugh it off.  Now, if anyone had demanded proof of the real Paul's actual physical existence, it could easily be proven because, in fact, the real Paul was truly alive.  This way they could avoid anyone seeking proof of a fake Paul's actual real physical death!

But, in the end, maybe we should just let it be.  Why stir up old bones and ashes?  To what end, Horatio?  To what end, Horace?  Thank you and may you have peaceful thoughts for the balance of the day.

Maybe there ought to be a thread devoted to debunking the Paul is Dead myth.

One thing that strikes me is that a lot of people would have to be involved in the overall cover-up.  That would include medical personnel, law enforcement, and most importantly, family of Paul.  I can't imagine family members participating in something like this for any reason.  And think of the grief they'd be feeling without being able to share it with anyone or be open about showing it.

Also, you'd have to pay people off and that would involve a lot of money as well as a presumptive trust in the people you confided his demise to.

I would say this:  It probably would be 100% impossible to conceal something like this.

That was a bit before my time of listening to that great station after dark but I came across this on a blog I like to read. Scroll down on this page to the first player:

I would never had suspected those two. There's a dog in that picture, too. Looks like it's scared from all the commotion.

Thanks Kelley for posting this! Looking forward to listening to it. I'm a huge Halloween lover and also have become quite fascinated with the PID theory. I've read and watched many crazy things about it and I think it's still fun and interesting even though I don't believe it. I made a long Instagram post on it once. I'll have to share that here eventually.

I found it because I’m obsessed with 60’s and 70’s radio clips. :) I’m glad to know you’re looking forward to it!

Saint Paul   Terry Knight


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpRkFy66FhE# (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpRkFy66FhE#)

May 1969


I looked into the sky
Everything was high
Higher than it seemed to be to me

Standing by the sea
Thinking I was free
Did I hear you call or was I dreaming then, St. Paul?

You knew it all along
Something had gone wrong
They couldn't hear your song of sadness in the air
While they were crying out, "beware"
Your flowers & long hair
While you & Sgt. Pepper saw the writing on the wall

You say you want to live your life to the future
They say they've got dues to pay today
You say it's the fool who plays it cool, Sir
And if tomorrow comes, you know, they'll all hеar St. Paul say:
Let me take you down

You havе a different view
Hey there, Paul, what's new?
Did Judas really talk to you or did you put us on?
I think there's something wrong
It's taking you too long
To change the world
Sir Isaac Newton said it had to fall
Hey St. Paul!

You say you want to live your life to the future
They say they've got dues to pay today
You say it's the fool who plays it cool, Sir
And if tomorrow comes, you know, they'll all hear St Paul say:
I read the news today, oh boy

You had a different view
Hey there, Paul, what's new?
Did Judas talk to you or did you put the whole world on?
I think there's something wrong
It's taking you too long to change the world
Sir Isaac Newton told you it would fall

Well, here's another clue for you all...

I must have seen the Magical Mystery Tour movie at least a hundred times but I missed this clue.

Remember when Paul was talking to the actress sitting next to him on the bus and was interrupted by Little George, the photographer, who wanted to take some pictures of the actress?


(https://i.postimg.cc/7hP388rR/Photographer.jpg)


The dialogue went like this: 

Paul:  You know when I saw your first film, I really thought you had something. Wasn’t it “Blue Lady”?  “LADY IN BLUE,”  Something like that?

The actress:  How old are you?

Paul:  Myself, I was thirty but I look a little younger due to...



William Wallace Shepherd was born on 9 September 1937 and was 30 years old in 1967...

Paul, I mean William Shepherd, admitted he was 30 years old in Magical Mystery Tour.

I've always had the point of view - good one if true, wow, pulled that off for going on 60 years soon.  Wow, imagine being as good as the living Paul is and never getting your own credit for it.

Seriously, given the tension in the band with not touring and all that was going on, how come there never has been any theories of one or more of the other boys being responsible for killing Paul?  Terribly  convenient that it was a car crash.  If the three of them plus Sir George Martin and all the surrounding caste of many never said a peep, they all must be suspects, dastardly bunch.

Well, here's another clue for you all:  The Beatles Monthly Book No. 44  March 1967 (https://archive.org/details/beatles-monthly-44/mode/2up)

A doctored 1966 photo of Paul with a fake mustache was used for the cover of the March 1967 issue...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2xbtaDuK1k# (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2xbtaDuK1k#)

If Paul was alive in 1967, why would they resort to this?

Also, look through the magazine for the article written by William Shepherd.

Well here's another clue for you all...

You're all familiar with the 7 November 1969 issue of LIFE Magazine...


(https://i.postimg.cc/VzwYd9cB/Life-11-7-69-1.jpg)



Here's the inside cover...


(https://i.postimg.cc/zqkqWLzm/Life-11-7-69-2.jpg)




Now, if you hold the inside cover up to the light...


(https://i.postimg.cc/LH62VH5J/Life-11-7-69-3.jpg)


...you clearly see the car running through Paul's body and the top of his head is cut off.


You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair.
