Here are the clues that Beatles fans "found" in the band's album covers to convince themselves that Paul McCartney died as early as 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike named Billy Shears. Since all accounts of the "Paul is Dead" story have Paul dying no earlier than fall of 1966, clues will be limited here to albums that came out after Paul's supposed demise -- although that inconsistency hasn't stopped fans from "finding" PID "clues" as far back as 1964's A Hard Day's Night album.

Since it's possible for creative minds to read anything into anything, this list focuses on the main clues that are repeated most often by PID believers and non-believers. Clues which are based on clearly false information are listed in italics.
Front cover

The "new" Paul (called Faul by Paul is Dead believers) is shown with a hand over his head. Throughout the Beatles' later period, pictures and drawings of Paul surfaced featuring a hand over his head. This is an Eastern religion's way of symbolizing evil or death. (Not true.) None of the other Beatles have a hand over their heads in any officially released picture or drawing after the fall of 1966.

Paul is the only Beatle holding a black musical instrument.

A group of hyacinths forms a guitar, positioned as a left-handed musician would play it. Paul is the only left-handed Beatle. The guitar only has three strings, representing the three remaining Beatles. The flowers also spell "Paul?" (This arrangement was the brainstorm of the floral assistant, who decided on the spot to create a guitar from flowers.)

Hold a mirror up to the exact middle of the bass drum that features the "Sgt. Pepper" logo, horizontally, and it spells out "I ONE IX HE DIE." This refers to the date of Paul's death -- November 9th. (Some suggest that since the British system of dates puts the day and not the month first, this would make the date of Paul's death September 11th, which has morbid connotations already. It also fits in with the fact that the band was completely inactive from August 29, 1966 until September 14, 1966, a period of isolation unmatched in their history.)
Back cover

Paul's back is to the camera, while the rest of the Beatles are facing the camera. This is a reference to Paul's death. (Outtakes from the photo sessions show many different positions, most of which feature Paul facing the camera.)

George "points" to the lyric "Wednesday morning at five o' clock," the day and time of the crash. Read across that line from left to right and you receive several clues in a row: "Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly," "Wednesday Morning at five o'clock as the day begins," "Life flows on within you and without you," "You're on your own, you're in the street."

Inside gatefold
"Paul" is wearing a patch which says "OPD." This is Canadian for "Officially Pronounced Dead." (All four Beatles had received this patch, which actually reads "OPP" and stands for "Ontario Provincial Police.")
Front cover

Paul is dressed as a walrus. The walrus, in India, is a symbol of death. (Not true.) His arms are spread wide, as in a crucifixion.

Turn the cover upside down and the word "Beatles" spells out "537-1438," or "231-7438," or, backwards, 834-7132. This is a phone number that, when dialed, leads to an answering machine message featuring more clues. (Try it yourself.)

Original album booklet

In the tracklisting, under "I Am The Walrus," is written in longhand "'No you're not!' said little Nicola." Little Nicola is a character in the accompanying MMT film, but she never says this to John. Paul is the Walrus in the film. The walrus, in India, is a symbol of death. (Not true.)

On Page 2 Paul sits in front of a sign reading "I You Was." No explanation is given.

On Page 9 the word "Hill" runs down the side of the cartoon Paul's head, in red. This is a reference to his massive head injury suffered in the crash.

On Page 13 Paul is pictured without shoes, a sign of death. (Not true.) The shoes are to his left, and, some say, covered in a blood-red substance.

On Page 23, and in the "Your Mother Should Know" portion of the film, Paul is wearing a black carnation. The other Beatles are all wearing red ones.

Poster

There is a picture of "Paul" with a mustache and glasses which is actually William Campbell before his Paul makeover.

There is a picture of Paul in the bathtub which parallels how his corpse looked after the crash.

Yellow Submarine
Front cover
A hand is over Paul's head on the cover cartoon. This is an Eastern religion's way of symbolizing evil or death. (Not true.)
Front cover

Paul is barefoot, which is how corpses are buried. John, in white, represents the preacher, George, in denim, represents the gravedigger, Ringo, all in black, represents the pallbearer. (No pun intended.)

Paul's eyes are closed, he's walking out of step with the others, and smoking a cigarette in the "wrong" hand (Paul being a leftie).

The license plate on the Volkswagon reads "LMW 28IF." Paul would have been 28 IF he was still alive. (Paul was 27.)

Back cover

The dots to the left of the "B" in "Beatles" can be connected to form a "3," indicating that there are now only three Beatles.

There's a crack running through the word "Beatles," and a skull barely visible to the right of the sign.

Front cover

The other Beatles are pictured on a white background; Paul's background is blood-red. Supposedly, there are few visual clues on this album since it was released after the PID furor died down.

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 in the songs 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.

TMR Editor's Note
Years prior to the The Millennium Report website going online one of our writers conducted exhaustive research into the "Paul McCartney is Dead" conspiracy. It is, in fact, a real conspiracy because of the number of willing participants who, by necessity, had to participate in it in order for it to be successful for almost fifty years.

However, only one element has been missing over the past 49 years. And that is a member of The BEATLES stepping forward to tell the unvarnished truth. It now appears that this little secret has been finally told by Ringo Starr. Certainly, with the death of his band mates, except 'Paul' of course, the burden of this secret became greater for him to carry alone as the years wore on.

The newsprint piece shown above well captures the respective roles of the four BEATLES. What it fails to point out is that Ringo Starr was not only the drummer, he was also the heartbeat of the band as all drummers are. It now appears that the true story about Paul is Ringo's to tell or else the heartbeat would become increasingly labored by the sheer weight of the harder-to-hide truth (The internet has a way of doing that, yes?). There is no one else who has the authority, by virtue of his firsthand experience with the whole wild and crazy affair, like Ringo Starr.

The "exhaustive research" conducted over several years did produce an extraordinary amount of evidence pointing to the great likelihood that the original Paul McCartney did leave The BEATLES circa 1966. There is now a massive body of forensic proof, anecdotal testimony, scientific photograph assessment, comparative voice analysis, circumstantial evidence, etc. on the internet which supports Ringo Starr's 'alleged' revelations.

The following article appears to be correct in stating all the primary facts with the exception of the very last paragraph as follows:

"The British MI5 also announced an investigation to determine if an imposter could have indeed posed for 48 years as the Member of the Order of the British Empire, Sir James Paul McCartney, during official ceremonies involving Queen Elizabeth II."

Surely, it was MI5 which coordinated the entire cover up, since they were best positioned to ensure that the conspiracy of silence would stick for so many years.

As for why The BEATLES agreed to go along with the cover up scheme since 1966 - the answer, especially if you were living during the 1960s and had sisters who could sing every single BEATLES song with perfection, is quite obvious. Paul McCartney's death would have triggered an unprecedented shock to his millions of young and often delirious female fans around the entire world.

For a much better explanation of just how traumatic such a shocking revelation would have been in 1966, the following true story is presented for the reader's edification.

"During The BEATLES performance at Shea Stadium, which kicked off their 1965 US Tour, the massive contingent of New York City policemen who were assigned to crowd control reported "rivers of urine" which flowed from the girls and young women in attendance, they were in such genuinely altered states. They were so excited and beside themselves that they were literally 'unconscious' to controlling their bodily functions."

Here's another take on the fans' out-of-body excitement and uncontrollable urges:
Did Beatle fans wet their pants at concerts??

Clearly, MI5, MI6, together with the British Monarchy and Parliament had to make a very swift command decision to hide the death of Paul McCartney. The following quote from Guitar World's article titled "Did Paul McCartney Actually Die in 1966?" reveals more of the inside story.
The Replacement Of Paul McCartney - Why? And by Whom?
The article below, as it turns out, was published by a tabloid-styled, faux-journalism website by the name of World News Daily Report. However, it contains a general narrative regarding the Paul McCartney story which could actually be true ... right down to the exact dates and details.

That the real Paul McCartney left the 'world scene' on November 9th of 1966 is an absolute certainty for those initiated into this particular line of inquiry and investigation. Their only questions relate to why MI5 (Military Intelligence, Section 5) arranged for his removal. And, exactly who did they replace him with?

Their underlying theory goes like this: Paul McCartney's 1966 death was the result of an MI5* Black Operation overseen by the Tavistock Institute. The BEATLES, it was understood, had way too much POWER AND INFLUENCE for the British Intelligence Services not to take advantage of it. How to practically harness such power and influence, however, remained a very difficult task, especially given the indomitable John Lennon and deeply spiritual George Harrison.

*The Security Service, commonly known as MI5 (Military Intelligence, Section 5), is the United Kingdom's domestic counter-intelligence and security agency and is part of its intelligence machinery alongside the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS; also known as MI6) focused on foreign threats, Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and Defence Intelligence (DI).

The 'drug overdose' death of their first manager - Brian Epstein - in 1967 devastated The BEATLES, as it was meant to. His knowledge of Paul's death led to serious personal problems, as well as posed a hugely unpredictable public issue. That George Harrison lost his bouts with throat cancer, lung cancer and a brain tumor at the age of 58 are also considered suspect by many. Then there was John Lennon's shocking assassination at 40 years old by "Manchurian Candidate" Mark David Chapman which was the direct result of his ardent anti-war stance and incessant world peace message.
The BEATLES Lead The British Invasion Bands
The key piece of this ongoing and originally British musical phenomenon, known as the British Invasion, revolves around the BEATLES, and especially the original Macca - Paul McCartney. For it was Paul who was the premier singer for the first and most famous of all the British Invasion Bands to invade North America. In that very special and unique capacity did Paul exert an inordinate degree of influence over a musical era defined as the "Golden Age of Rock" (sometimes labeled the " Golden Age of Modern Music ").

Starting in the early 1960's, The BEATLES arrival in New York City on February 7, 1964 marked the beginning of a worldwide musical revolution that would continue until the mid-1980's. Sometimes known as the " Rock and Roll Revolution", this global movement respected no boundaries and utilized the universal language of music (and English) to transform the entire planetary civilization. British rock groups have consistently occupied the top 7 or 8 positions of the "TOP 10 Rock 'n' Roll Bands Of All Times" lists with The BEATLES always at the #1 spot.

What is not very well known is that throughout the development and evolution of the Rock and Roll Revolution, there were always two sides operating in the background trying hard - VERY hard - to influence the direction ... and the content ... and the spirit of the movement. Only by comprehending his role as the mega- Macca[1] in this often covert, multi-decade, Anglo-American operation will the real back story of Paul McCartney be properly understood. So will the true conspiracy behind his death and cover up, as well as his purposeful replacement.

[1] Macca:

"A person possessing extremely large sex appeal in spite of being a care bear. Possibly the most gorgeous and sexy and cute thing ever invented, better than The Beatles and Darius put together. Also has good taste in music and smells nice."

One last series of revelations about the 1966 death of Paul McCartney comes in the form of a book by author Dr. Nick Kollerstrom who is featured in the following video titled:
Who is Paul McCartney? Published in September,2015, The Life and Death of Paul McCartney 1942 - 1966: A very English Mystery offers a riveting account of the true history of the Beatles and in particular Paul's untimely death.

Did Ringo Starr Admit Paul McCartney Died In 1966, Replaced With Look-Alike?

The following article appeared on a site that is often used to leak truths into the public domain. While the exact facts surrounding Ringo Starr's involvement may or may not be true, the background Beatles material certainly fits with the most likely historical narrative.

Facebook.com Removes Original Reference To Paul's Death On Google Which Appeared On Ringo Starr's Personal Facebook Page

FORMER BEATLE RINGO STARR CLAIMS THE "REAL" PAUL MCCARTNEY DIED IN 1966 AND WAS REPLACED BY LOOKALIKE.

by Barbara Johnson
WorldNewsDailyReport.com
Beverly Hills| The former drummer of the Beatles, Ringo Starr, surprised the world this morning during an interview in his luxurious Californian residence, when he admitted that the 45-year old rumors about the alleged death of Paul McCartney in 1966 were actually true.
In an exclusive interview with the Hollywood Inquirer, Mr. Starr explained that the "real" Paul McCartney had died in a car crash on November 9 1966, after an argument during a Beatles' recording session. To spare the public from grief, the Beatles replaced him with a man named William Shears Campbell, who was the winner of a McCartney look-alike contest and who happened to have the same kind of jovial personality as Paul.

"When Paul died, we all panicked!" claims Ringo, obviously very emotional. "We didn't know what to do, and Brian Epstein, our manager, suggested that we hire Billy Shears as a temporary solution. It was supposed to last only a week or two, but time went by and nobody seemed to notice, so we kept playing along. Billy turned out to be a pretty good musician and he was able to perform almost better than Paul. The only problem was that he couldn't get along with John, at all."

William Shears Campbell, better known as Billy Shears, does indeed "disappear " from records in 1966 and no traces of him can be found after Paul's alleged death.

Mr. Starr alleges that the group did send out a lot of hidden messages through the years to prepare the population for the truth.

He notably says that the entire Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album was awash with Paul-is-dead clues: the Beatles had indeed officially formed a "new" band featuring a "fictional" member named Billy Shears, which happened to be the actual name of Paul's replacement.

"We felt guilty about the deception" added Ringo Starr. "We wanted to tell the world the truth, but we were afraid of the reactions it would provoke. We thought the whole planet was going to hate us for all the lies we had told, so we kept lying but sending subtle clues to relieve our consciousness. When the first rumors finally began about the whole thing, we felt very nervous and started fighting a lot with each other. At some point, it was too much for John and he decided to leave the band."

Ringo Starr claims that he finally decided to tell the truth, because he was afraid that it was going to die with him. At age 74, he is the only other surviving member of the famous band besides Paul McCartney, and he was afraid the deception would never be revealed.

The rumors of Paul's death began more than 45 years ago, but had always been dismissed as nonsense by the band and its entourage. In September 1969, American college students published a series of articles in which they claimed that clues to McCartney's death could be found among the lyrics and artwork of the Beatles' recordings. Clue-hunting rapidly proved infectious, and within a few weeks, it had become an international phenomenon. Rumours only declined after a contemporary interview with McCartney was published in Life magazine in November 1969.

Neither Paul McCartney nor anyone from his entourage have commented on Ringo Starr's declaration yet, but the interview has already provoked a lot of reactions around the world. Journalists and paparazzis from around the world have surrounded the residence of the musician only minutes after the interview was broadcasted and are awaiting for the star to comment on the allegations.

The British MI5 also announced an investigation to determine if an imposter could have indeed posed for 48 years as the Member of the Order of the British Empire, Sir James Paul McCartney, during official ceremonies involving Queen Elizabeth II.

Special Note:

It is definitely possible that Paul's replacement was unaware of any furtive plots hatched by MI5 to control the biggest rock band of the era. In that case, where he was installed to coverup a truly accidental death of the real Paul, the following perspective is offered for the reader's consideration.

It must be acknowledged that Paul McCartney's replacement was tasked with one of the toughest jobs in the world. Regardless of who he really is, the new Paul (some call him Faul) was certainly coerced (or simply assigned by MI5) to play a roll that only preordained destiny could have fatefully brought to him in 1966. In this light, his was perhaps one of the greatest sacrifices made in modern times. For he was compelled to leave behind his real identity for the rest of his life in the interest of the greater good for all of humankind. Yes, he got to play a rock 'n' roll superstar, but that's not nearly as fun or easy as it sounds.

Now many may say, as many have already said, that he was, and is, an imposter. No, he is not an imposter!

In reality, all of us are called upon from time to time to be or act like something that we are not. We spontaneously fill that vital role in the moment because it is ours to do. In the case of Paul McCartney's replacement, his noble and selfless deed surely saved the lives of who knows how many across the planet?

Again, this highly qualified perspective is being presented in the event that Paul's replacement was truly unaware of any designs by British secret services to use The BEATLES to advance a clandestine worldwide agenda.

Paul McCartney's Death in 1966 Goes Much Deeper Than an MI5 Replacement Operation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Audio in video below: TMR Editor's Note Years prior to the The Millennium Report website going online one of our writers conducted exhaustive research into the "Paul McCartney is Dead" conspiracy. It is, in fact, a real conspiracy because of the number of willing participants who, by necessity, had to participate in it in order for it to be successful for almost fifty years.

Paul McCartney. Beloved member of The Beatles, legendary musician and now in his 70s, national hero.

But is the Paul McCartney we know and love the very same Paul McCartney that was born in Liverpool in 1942?

The Theory

There is a long-running conspiracy theory that just won't go away, that the original Paul actually died in a car accident in 1966, and was replaced by a look-alike named Billy Shears.

The rumors were reignited earlier this year when Ringo gave an exclusive interview in which he confirmed the Macca conspiracy.

This wasn't quite the revelation it seemed though as the interview quotes were from a satirical news website and have been discredited.

However there are many, many other signs that today's Macca was actually born Billy-here are a just a few of them.

The "Proof"

John Lennon was recorded in the outro of Strawberry Fields Forever saying "I buried Paul"

If you play I'm So Tired backwards, John can be heard saying "Paul is dead man, I miss him, I miss him".

On the cover of the album St Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band there is a yellow wreath in the shape of a bass guitar-McCartney's instrument.

Also on the St Pepper album, the track A Day In The Life, John Lennon says "he blew his mind out in a car". It's agreed by theorists that Paul died in a car-there is some debate over the cause of death though, with some saying he took his own life.

The Abbey Road album cover. There are many clues on this cover that point to the fact that Paul died;

The front cover photo of the band crossing a London street looks like a funeral procession. John Lennon is wearing white like a clergyman and which is also the color of mourning in some Eastern religions, Ringo Starr is wearing traditional black and George Harrison is wearing denim-the color of mourning in Canada.

Paul's bare feet. In some cultures the dead are buried without their shoes.

Paul's cigarette is held in his right hand. He was left handed.

The license plate on the Volkswagen Beetle is "LMW 28IF"-Paul would have been 28 if he was alive at the time the album was released.

The girl in the blue dress on the back of the cover is said to symbolize a female fan named Rita, who he was driving with in his Aston Martin on the night of his fateful accident, fleeing from the scene.

If you connect the dots on the back of the cover you can make the number 3-the number of surviving Beatles.

The broken Beatles sign on the back cover-a sad symbol that the band was broken.

The mention of Billy Shears on the Sgt Pepper album. The band reference that they have formed a new band with "the one and only Billy Shears."

His height. In early Beatles footage Lennon and McCartney were the same height, yet by the time Sgt Pepper came around, "Paul" was noticeably taller than John.

Conspiracy Theory Thursday - The Marilyn Monroe Death Cover Up

In 1980 McCartney was busted for cannabis possession in Japan. His fingerprints didn't match the fingerprints held on file for him from the Beatles tour there in 1966.

In 1969 Dr Henry Truby from the University of Miami used samples from three Beatles songs sung by McCartney (Yesterday, Penny Lane and Hey Jude) to produce voice-print sonograms. They produced very different results.

A biometrical analysis by a team of Italian forensic scientists proved the facial differences (mandibular curve, tragus, nasal spine, palate, canines) making it impossible that pre 1966 and post 1966 Paul was the same person.
