Curious Thing

UPDATE: I have been listening to the Iamaphoney Bootleg #2 and you should too. Thanks Mike. http://www.youtube.com/user/iamaphoneymusic

___________________________________________________

We have another one of those curious ads for a new McCartney product. One YouTube user named PauIMcCartney (I believe the first name is pronounced PAY-OOOWEE) has uploaded Paul McCartney's (I believe the first name is pronounced PAUL) 30-second trailer for Good Evening New York City with a little bit of spice added. I don't recall the original ad having quick flashes of Aiwass in it.

I found a few more little quickies in there including these two:





Check out the 30-second spot by clicking the image below:



This silly trick notwithstanding, there has been quite a bit of thought and work, along with some incredible expression of talent in the Rotten Apple Series over the years. Many fans and former fans have found the pace to be frustrating. Iamaphoney himself (or themselves as the case may be) has (have) expressed some frustration at the less than blistery pace of this long promised revelation. It's a bit like Alice In Wonderland. (Did I really say that?) At one point Alice found herself in a strange place where every time she seemed to get closer to an object, the more out of reach it became. Those who are looking in the Rotten Apple videos for that elusive thing called the truth have become increasingly frustrated. Several times it seemed like the vehicle was moving forward, but do we really know any more than when we started?

If you are looking for artistic expression and mystery and entertainment, there is no shortage of those things in the Iamaphoney saga. Truth is much trickier to nail down.

There have been some misleading things in Iamaphoney videos and I have pointed several of them out right here. But this is happening at a time when documentary makers are using many of the same tricks. So if we see footage of Derek Taylor speaking and the audio running simultaneously is Derek's voice from a different time, we can say that's a little misleading. But if there is no video footage to go with the existing audio, many filmmakers would do the same thing.

So, let's look at a couple aspects of Rotten Apple 78 again and evaluate what we have.

There is video footage of Paul McCartney talking to John Lennon. Most people who watch Rotten Apple videos can probably identify the footage from the movie "Let It Be." Many of them can probably recognize that the accompanying dialog is not from "Let It Be." When that video was shot, Paul was talking to John about live performances, but in the Rotten Apple video, a voice that sounds like Paul is saying, "I haven't the slightest doubt that we did the right thing and that we acted in accordance with the law. But he kept the book, you know, but you can't retain that book. It must be thrown away, burned or destroyed by... and what ever happened to him, is the invisible god. The world isn't ready for a revelation." If Iamaphoney has audio of Paul saying those words, that is pretty significant and relevant to the story he is telling. If that really is Paul's voice (and I cannot prove that it isn't) I don't have a problem with using footage of Paul talking to John as a companion piece.

Now, as I pointed out in a recent post at "Nothing Is Real" the John Lennon quote about hiring a phony was taken from his famous interview with Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone. He was actually talking about Alun Owen, who wrote the screenplay to "A Hard Days Night." You can find the Lennon quote with some context here.

So if the Lennon quote was presented as a piece of evidence, that would definitely be a deliberate attempt to mislead, right? But was it presented as a piece of evidence? Iamaphoney is telling a story in an artistic manner. So, I suppose some of us will grant him some artistic license. If you watch Rotten Apple 78 again more closely, you might notice that he gives us a little sign immediately before the Lennon quote.



That is the word "Imagine" more or less - Your brain has to fill in some of the holes. By preceding the out of context Lennon statement with this fragmentary representation of the word "Imagine", Iamaphoney may be telling us to use our imagination rather than our critical mind when interpreting the quote.

Just because he didn't have video of the statement that sounds like Paul saying "...we acted in accordance with the law" doesn't mean that he didn't say it. And I guess you could make a case that just because he didn't have audio of John saying that the Beatles hired a phony to take Paul's place, doesn't prove he didn't say that either.

He had audio of John saying words that went with the story he was telling and he used them. And he might have even tipped us off that he was exercising artistic license by showing the word "Imagine" up front.

In looking back on previous videos, there might be other examples of Iamaphoney guiding the viewer on how to interpret what they are watching. He lets us know when to fill in the holes. I wouldn't call it Journalism, but it certainly qualifies as Storytelling in my book. I haven't read the thing, but I'm guessing that it doesn't really violate any passage from Iamaphoney's book of the law. Curiously, I guess it all depends on what book you are using.

For those of you who recently joined . . . yes, the videos and chit chat about RA has been going on for years. Nothing has come from any of it other than more chit chat. That's how conspiracy theories and urban legends like this work. Always have. The believers simply add on to the already massive pile of speculation, contributing more clues through collaboration, as the theories spin wildly in every direction, whether towards govt cover ups or UFOs or clones or Satanic cults. But these theories only entertain the theorists, who are obvioulsy content to keep specualting without ever reaching any conclusions, and which do not address or explain the overwhelming evidence that Paul never died in any substantive way.

There initially was some chatter that there was some kernel of truth to RA, or that Phoney was Paul doing a viral campaign, or that he was Beatle insider and blah blah but nothing came from any of it. What did emerge, however, was more and more evidence of video/audio trickery and in some cases blatant deception. Taf forgives these tricks on the rationale that Phoney is merely telling a story, a tall tale, and using these tricks to convery a story and message which, by the way, no one has figured out in the first place. Not because the message is cleverly hidden, but because the message keeps changing to suit the audience.

The part that goes undiscussed is that Phoney creates bogus Macca websites, youtube sites, etc., in order to fool McCartney fans that they are genuine. He then baits and switches McCartney material with his own, which from all evidence indicates is a tactic to promote original Paul is Dead-themed music.

So, from the evidence, one may conclude that the series is what it says it is, i.e. YouTube entertainment. Two, nothing has come from any of the jillions of PID PWR theories.

If you would care to go back and re-read all of the posts here, you will see the grand pattern of how conspiracy theories play-out, and how the believers keep believing no matter how often they've been duped or let down, which is characteristic of all such theories and the cultish people who put their faith in them (and predicatably in a single enigmatic figure e.g. "Manson" "Jim Jones" etc) who galvanixze their beliefs and ask them to follow blindly.


*You may re-post this a year, two years, or five years from now. It will still hold true.

There is no hard evidence that Phoney has ever created "fake" Paul McCartney YouTube sites or videos. There is also no evidence that Phoney is trying to garner interest in his music. He said from the beginning that he solved the Love Code and wanted to claim the prize from Apple. That is what the series is about. Also, if he was Paul, or worked for Apple, doubtful he would try to claim the prize.

Except the very idea of a "Love Code" appeared on one, and only one, website. Considering how Beatle fans, or PID fans for that matter, pour over every detail of every press release and every interview in hope of finding something to hang their hat on and found nothing about a code....but ONE lone rock website did, I think that lone website needs to be examined more closely. The entire basis of the "Love Code" is in that one sentence on that one site which may in fact be a joke (read the other stories on it and you'll see what I mean).

If Iamaphoney is waiting for instructions and information from other sources before he reveals the revelation, can we assume that they also told him to start the magic suitcase hunt? The now notorious Blair Witch video? To start churning out Beatle-soundalike songs?

Maybe Iamaphoney would be wise to start questioning the motives, the integrity and the credibility of these other parties he relies on? If the plan was to make a fool out of him I think they have succeeded. Maybe Paul McCartney himself decided to stick it to PID fans once and for all by setting up a fall guy for all their frustration. Naaah, Paul seems a little too busy for those kinds of fun and games.

Anonymous said...

Odd. The website that mentioned the "Love Code" was called therockradio.com but now has been changed on the Wikipedia entry to theclockradio.com. It looks like someone else may have tried to get further information about it and they are now being misdirected elsewhere. I wonder if Iamaphoney even knows what's going on. You might want to check that you're protected from viruses before going to either site, real or fake.

Some may ask why would Iamaphoney go through all this trouble if it's all a cat and mouse game that doesn't lead anywhere? The anonymous poster who said "the message keeps changing to suit the audience" is close to something. We had another Iamaphoney a few years ago. It had it's believers and it's detractors and existed mainly as a running discussion on forums and blogs. People were willing to believe him and defended him against allegations that he was tricking us or faking evidence. The war between believers and doubters reached a fever pitch on message boards but has now faded from memory, even in the minds of conspiracy buffs.

His name was John Titor.

Iamaphoney is doing it all over again.

Consider this. John Titor claimed to be a time traveler from 2036. He began posting messages on conspiracy/nwo/ufo forums and Art Bell forums in 1998. The hoax continued into 2004 until John Titor all but vanished. He predicted that CERN would create a black hole in 2001 which allowed for time travel to happen (that should raise a red flag). He also predicted, or strung along people with stories about, a world war in 2000 as a result of the Y2K bug, a civil war in the US in 2004 and the abolishing of the Olympic Games after 2004 (someone should tell Michael Phelps to hand back his medals). Titor even went so far as to create an elaborate time travel device and post photos of it. As time wore on and none of his predictions came to pass, Titor began posting less frequently and then vanished. Still, there are many who believe or want to believe in John Titor.

Obviously John Titor's story was a hoax but why go through all that trouble? Why spend all that time and money on creating a time machine? Why keep the story going for 7 long years?

For the same reason Iamaphoney is doing this. To be talked about. A celebrity in conspiracy circles.

Titor's mistake was to focus on the future. As the future became the present his story began falling apart.

Iamaphoney focuses on the past with alterations to his story as participants from the past (Paul McCartney) continue to make events. In that way, his story has a symbiotic relationship with it's subject. When Paul McCartney does something, the event is incorporated into Iamaphoney's larger storyline (even if he has to alter our perception of the event to do it).

Much like John Titor however, Iamaphoney's predictions fail to come to pass as time wears on and the credibility of his story, like Titor's, suffers as a result.

I do not believe they are the same person, although it is possible, but I believe John Titor's 7 year run as the darling of conspiracy blogs and forums was a blueprint for Iamaphoney's current campaign. I believe his use of CERN and alleged placing of a suitcase there was a wink and a nod to the John Titor saga. We'll see if Iamaphoney can match John Titor's 7 year hoax.

Wow you are a goofball.

First of all dude, if you think no one would try to pretend they are McCartney because no one would believe it, you obviously haven't spent any time in PID land. People here are willing to believe pretty much ANYTHING if you haven't read NIR. Some of them are willing to believe that practically everybody is Paul McCartney or some Beatle insider. There are idiots who think some guy on NIR was Neill Aspinall, because, sure, that's where Neill Aspinall would be hanging out in his spare time, talking to a bunch of goofballs who think John Travolta is a clone. Sure, and William Shatner under a fake screen name hangs out with Star Trek fans online.

Anyone remember YouKnowMyName231?This is a guy who people here and at NIR thought was Paul McCartney or Julian or Sean Lennon. Even when he revealed who he was, people still didn't believe it or thought it was part of the conspiracy, or that he was in cahoots with Phoney.

Most of all, why would Paul McCartney promote some other dude's music? Yeah, that's such a thing Paul would do. Some of the tunes are decntly enough produced, but they aren't that nicely produced--it's called digital editing software, and it sounds mostly like it was recorded on a PC.

The videos are indeed well done, everyone agrees, but they aren't "super pro." There are editing mistakes, not even done in widescreen HQ, and they are clearly something that could be done at home with iMovie or comparable software. Did you see the phoney "Blair Witch" video? Uh, sorry, that wasn't produced by anyone at Apple or MPL. It was produced by kids.

That's right, goofballs, a bunch of kids, like Scooby Doo. Some grownups involved, but not Paul McCartney grown up, who doesn't ask someone to make conspiracy theory videos insinuating his ex wife Heather was in the right, and that Yoko had Lennon murdered, and that he himself is a Satanist.

This is why you goofballs can believe Paul is Dead. You're easily misled with a minimum of evidence. You think a Danish musicians' demo sounds like Macca. You think Neill Aspinall logged in at NIR.

use google to search for a youtube video ripper
with that MP4 or FLV file, you search youtube again for MP4 to MP3 converter, or FLV to MP3 converter.
then you can take the MP3 and load it into audacity (and reverse it, or whatver)

i also recommend using the stereo inversion technique... you can listen to hidden sounds... and mostly give a good backing track

Sorry Freny. The videos are good but there's nothing "super pro" about them. If you have imovie you can do the exact same thing. If there's one big flaw in the Rotten Apple videos it's the editing which is simply awful.

If you think Iamaphoney's music sounds like McCartney then you clearly don't know Macca's music at all. Run out and buy Tug Of War and then come back and tell me they sound the same. lol

The signs point to Denmark. Always have. Always will. Thanks Tafultong for that revelation. It's all here on the blog too if you want to read further.

Yeah, well some of it in snippets is interesting and creepy ("Lucifer loves evil" "grace to faul") all that. But it's more novelty-ish sounding to me than anything else. It's also very repetitious due to the nature of the reversals - but I will say the best phoney things are not reversals but remixes:

David Lynch is to make a film about The Beatles' meditation guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

The filmmaker, who recently collaborated with Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse on their 'Dark Night Of The Soul' project, says he is travelling to India this December to start filming.

BEATexpo 2009," a convention for Beatles fans, will "come together" on Saturday, November 28th and Sunday, November 29th, 2009 at the Holiday Inn Downtown Stamford, 700 E. Main Street in Stamford, CT.

The event features special guests and concerts by tribute bands "The Beatles Forever Band," "Octopus's Garden," "The A-Z Beatles Songbook Show," "Charlie Guitar" and "Rotary." Collectors will be able to shop at a rock & roll flea market/memorabilia marketplace. Fans will get to watch rare videos. There will special exhibits and displays, a "penny" auction and many other features, events and attractions.

Just added! Legendary 60's singer Spanky McFarlane sang lead as the front-person in the sixties band Spanky & Our Gang, with such hits as "Sunday Will Never Be The Same," "Give a Damn," "Sunday Morning" and "I'd Like To Get To Know You." She later replaced Mama Cass in The Mamas & The Papas (who had a hit with The Beatles' "I Call Your Name"). She also recorded "And Your Bird Can Sing." One of Spanky's dearest friends, Dinky Dawson, is a legendary figure in the music field, recognized as the "sound-man to the stars." He was rumored to be on the Apple rooftop with The Beatles.

Perry Mason approves this message said...

There is no hard evidence that Phoney has ever created "fake" Paul McCartney YouTube sites or videos. There is also no evidence that Phoney is trying to garner interest in his music. He said from the beginning that he solved the Love Code and wanted to claim the prize from Apple. That is what the series is about. Also, if he was Paul, or worked for Apple, doubtful he would try to claim the prize.

November 18, 2009 12:18 PM



yeah! ever listen to a radio promotion? Employees are ALWAYS excluded from contests and promotions! So if he was a employee, he would be fired. And who would do that IN THIS ECONOMY and risk being unemployed. Like Vince.

Also, if iamaphoney was interested in promotion of his music, I think he would choose someone other then a 12 year old kid from the Netherlands, MikeyNL1038, to do it.
Last video count was the highest for "Shoes" and is 239.
239 view count is not something that can be called "promotion".
Mikey, if you are reading this, and I have no illusions that you are, take a page out of the book of other esteemed youtube success stories and feature car crashes, Mentos in diet pepsi, farting babies, kicks to the groin, and other popular ideas. On the main page of youtube they feature the highest rated videos. Make them like those, and then you will be "promoting" and I will jump on the band wagon and start accusing you of pushing the iamaphoney agenda, just as my other anonymous colleague did. Right now you are burying it deeper. Which it very much seems comfortable being.

Also, what proof do you have iamaphoney is pretending to be Paul and making fake sites? Maybe someone is doing that pretending to be iamaphoney? The nutters are pretending to be "behind the scenes". They aren't.
Maybe someone is doing it to make iamaphoney look bad.

Did you ever think of that?

No, no you didn't.

This is what we say in the legal profession as case closed.

I look forward to an intelligent debate on this or other subjects, such as God, abortion, elder care,
euthanasia, the trade imbalance, breast augmentation, religion, and politics.

Here are my thoughts...

God - I believe in God

Abortion - I think God made abortion doctors, but doesn't want us to use them. So don't have sex. Except with me, and then don't get pregnant.

Elder Care - remember when your parents hit you? its payback time, and payback is a bitch. This is going to hurt me, more then it hurts you dad.

Euthanasia - At first I was for it, but then I figured I am going to be old a weak soon, so now I am against it.

Trade imbalance - We need balance. We need trade. We need to balance the trade. I say, don't buy anything for a year, then next year, buy. Then repeat.


Breast augmentation - depends on the woman. some look silly, some look delicious. I will study them on a case by case basis. Alone. On the internet. Or at strip clubs.

Religion - My mom, God rest her soul, told me never to talk about this. Since she is dead, I can.
I don't go to church often, just Christmas and Easter and weddings and funerals. This averages out to about 10 times a year. I only enjoy it about 3 times a year.
Math tells me this is not a good thing. So if I can get away with it, I am only going to go 3 times a year, and pray that this will keep me out of Hell. But the strippers and intravenous drugs will probably screw that up.

Politics - My father told me never to talk about this. Since he is still alive, I won't.
Since he probably doesn't read this blog, I could.
Since you probably haven't read down this far, I shouldn't.
If you did, I should, to show my support to you, dear reader.

I vote rarely, and bitch about it all the time. Simple logic tells me this is insane. So I should either vote more often, so I can righteously bitch about it. Or vote even less, and keep my mouth shut.
Either way, it probably won't matter.
Thats because when the iamaphoney revelation happens in 2012, all of this will seem quite silly, when we are all John Lennon groovy.

When it comes to abortion, I suggest taking the 'absurdist' approach: Let the religious zealot know. Say:
"Don't you ever wonder why it's 2009, and we're all still here?
It's 'coz the anti-christ done been ABORTED!!
Yup.... you know how I know?
'Coz he was MY BABY!!"
If he asks what 'proof' you have..... just say what 'they've' been saying: "Well, we're all here, aren't we?"

She asked who I was. She has dementia. She doesn't know who anybody is. Except she wants to me to help her escape the nursing home.
So, its no wonder that the elderly are losing out to Britney.
what Macca should do, is make a BRLTNEY SPEARS Site. except dont cap the L, then put up edited videos saying the Britney spears is dead and a satanist. Bring that whore down a peg or two.

hahahaha well no one has been able to answer how it is that the Nutters early "Strawberry Fields" reverse video sports the very same editing style as Phoney, who appeared soon thereafter. It is not some random editing style typical of YouTube. It isn't something that would just happen coincidentally that two separate PID videomakers (how many people even believe PID in the first place--35 or so?) would use Beatle songs in reverse set to rapid fire montages of Beatle clips and other flash images, edited in layers, with the same pacing and pan and zoom style on the pics?

Add to that the Nutters say they are part of the org. If they are not, you wonder why they never came out and mentioned they preceded Phoney and that he was influenced by their editing

"though i understand him, you should appreciate what the risen son see's in you, for not love is about men anymore, it's about women. the next time you think as him, you will develop your moment to speak to him"

low and behold, if this was infact a prophecy from an oracle, it would eventually come true, yes ?

This is the Zodiac speaking
Like I have allways said, I am crack proof. If the Blue Meannies are evere going to catch me, they had best get off their fat asses + do something. Because the longer they fiddle + fart around, the more slaves I will collect for my after life. I do have to give them credit for stumbling across my riverside activity, but they are only finding the easy ones, there are a hell of a lot more down there. The reason I'm writing to the Times is this, They don't bury me on the back pages like some of the others.

3 and half minute video. (Just like a Beatles song!)

"Through observation of the letters and codes the killer sent to area newspapers, many characteristics of Zodiac have been noted: he quoted directly from Gilbert and Sullivan’s light opera, "The Mikado," from the Beatles animated movie, "The Yellow Submarine" (1968) and possibly from "The Most Dangerous Game," a short story (and 1932 film) about a mad Count who grows tired of hunting animals and begins to stalk human prey."

There's a wild man, wizard,
He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind.
Oh, I've got something inside me,
Not what my life's about,
Cause I've been letting my outside tide me,
Over 'till my time, runs out.
Baby's so high that she's skying,
Yes she's flying, afraid to fall.
I'll tell you why baby's crying,
Cause she's dying, aren't we all.
There was not much more for us to talk about,
Whatever we had once was gone.
So I turned my cab into the driveway,
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns.
And she said we must get together,
But I knew it'd never be arranged.
And she handed me twenty dollars,
For a two fifty fare, she said
"Harry, keep the change."
