Over the past few weeks, (when your rotten chronicler was going through a crisis of epic proportions) two new installments of the Rotten Apple subscription series arrived. The reduction in quantity is more than made up by the quality of these latest efforts, which focus on the Beatles Book monthly. Imagine a trippy, yet coherent themed Rotten Apple production and you'll have an idea of "TheStudyCloud - Beatles Book (1963 - 1969)" and "TheStudyCloud - BeatleMonthlyTwo."
Like many U.S. fans, my first knowledge of the Beatles Monthly was when some issues were shown on the White Album Poster.
The original Beatles Monthly was published from August 1963 through December 1969. Seeing those 1967-era Beatles faces on the covers was pretty exciting for those of us who wanted nothing to do with those girlie fan magazines where you had to look at pictures of Bobby Sherman and Dino, Desi and Billy before you would find a Beatle. The Monthly was endorsed by Brian Epstein and featured numerous articles credited to Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans.
The first video explores, among other things, the magazine's curious practice of putting fake mustaches on pictures of the fabs presumably to make earlier pictures appear to be from 1967. This topic has been researched quite well in the "Nothing Is Real" discussion group.
Presumably this deception on the part of the Beatles Book was a practical matter due to the Beatles' recent change of appearance and the shortage of contemporary pictures. In fact it doesn't seem significant at all really. I thought it was the dumbest thing in the world when Rotten Apple 12 featured "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" backwards. Although the words "It was a fake mustache" were more understandable than most of the backwards "clues," it didn't seem to have anything to do with the Paul Is Dead rumors.
To my knowledge, no one before Iamaphoney ever implied any significance to the "fake mustache." But then it occurred to me that maybe there is more to this fake mustache thing than meets the mouth. There was the brief moment in the promo for "A Day In the Life" when Paul appeared to really have a fake mustache.
And why would the Sgt. Pepper album include bonus cut-outs that included a fake mustache? And wasn't it weird that all four Beatles decided to sport mustaches at the very same time? That always seemed a bit juvenile to me.
The second video release three weeks later, consisted of a minute and a half of disconnected items from the pages of the Beatles Monthly. Beginning with pictures of the Beatles skiing doubles from "Help!" chronicled on the pages of the magazine and then moving into a weird little blurb about, of all things, the Twin Peppers.
The Twin Peppers were two copies of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album which supposedly contained special clues when synced together. This was a rather difficult thing to test. As the story goes, the "Twin Peppers" were found in the Berlin Suitcase allegedly dropped by the key character in the Rotten Apple Series, generally referred to these days as The Phoney Figure (TPF). Recordings of two scratched up copies of Sgt. Pepper were available for download for a while and purported to be the copies found in the Iamaphoney suitcase. Yeah, this sounded like a valuable way for me to spend my time. But I have to admit, that I was impressed to see that The famous Beatles Monthly reported that prior to the release of the album, two copies of it were stolen. So, if we can believe that two copies of the Sgt. Pepper album were created with special clues, and those very two copies of the Sgt. Pepper album were stolen prior to its release, and those very two copies ended up in the hands of Iamaphoney several decades later, and those very two copies were placed in a suitcase and left in Berlin, and those very two copies were found in that suitcase by someone who was familiar enough with the Rotten Apple series to report it to someone who was well schooled in all things Iamaphoney-related, and those very two copies were placed on the web for download, then yes, we have something here.
Then the video goes on to some Thelema images with an attempt to connect them with Arthur Dooley’s curious "Four Lads Who Shook The World" sculpture in Liverpool. This is made even more confusing when one reads the description of "TheStudyCloud - BeatleMonthlyTwo" as presented unlisted on YouTube. It says, "doubles, twin peppers and wings." Is Iamaphoney implying that there is a connection between Thelema, the "Four Lads That Shook The World" sculpture and Wings? I think he is.
Now, what does it mean?

I am getting tired of this game
September 10, 2011 6:05 PM
What you conveniently seem to forget, is that we were all unwilling participants of your crap game. The one that you devised remember? The one where you made the rules and changed them to suit yourself, whilst all the time playing with a stacked deck. So don't start giving it.Walk away with what little dignity you have left, friend.
um. I didn't say that. so who are you talking to?
The guy you think you are attacking there is a NOBODY.
I'm the one to reckon with, like it or not.
confused? I really don't give a shit.
Me neither. And the person I was addressing knows damn well who he is. If the cap fits.
I'm the one to reckon with, like it or not
Then you Sir, are the ultimate NOBODY.
And I was quoting the other persons post merely because they referenced the "game" it was certainly not an attack on them, if that's what you want to call it.
Understand this NOW.
There will be NO unificatio
There will be NO returning to the 'source' least of all to save your sorry arse.
Once again I am addressing this to one individual.
And finally, I want to say this.,
When you create life, you are responsible for it.
When you destroy life, you are responsible for it.
And, when you create life solely for the purpose of fulfilling 'one's pleasure' with a blatant disregard for the wellbeing and life of the created individual, that is not only arrogant and wrong, it's downright presumptuous .
Good night.
many hugs and kisses

I'll never forget it
to whomever made this "thebeatlesneverexisted" site, you are easily one of the most foolish and imprudent human beings I've come across.
why would anyone offer up such an absolutely ridiculous theory without any evidence whatsoever (other than photographs)? And your photographic "evidence" doesn't even make your case. It just makes you seem like a crazy person who has been staring far too long at old photos of Paul.
we can only hope this site is supposed to be a joke. Six different people playing the role of Paul by 1962? Are you a moron? Why would five guys "play" the role of ONE person named Paul who wasn't even famous? Or any of the other band members?
if you had the faintest idea of the sheer magnitude of evidence that refutes and obliterates your inane theory you would hopefully have thought better of it.
it would be difficult to gauge the depths of your stupidity, but based on this one example I'm afraid to even ponder it.
Thank you very much for proving how stupid you really are.
You are not worthy.
there were at least 19 Johnny Carson's.
You can see he looks different in each of 19 seasons.
definitely there were at least 12 Paul McCartney's and at minimum there were 9 George Harrison's, 5 John's and 3 Ringo's.
also, I'm batshit crazy!
whatever
I got a Lion in my pocket and baby it's ready to ROAR!

and i thank you
it's coming back to me now!
boy that was quick
LOL BEFORE I REVERSED IT
I feels so much powers now
omfg!
hey, everybody! I KNOW WHO IAMAPHONEY IS!!!!!
I will give you a hint, ITS NOT PAUL MCCARTNEY!
Its this guy named Martin, he is from Finland and he is working on these videos and songs from his home. He used post it notes. You'll never believe how I found it out, IT WAS A SECRET YOUTUBE VIDEO!!!
A secret documentary made in 2006 by this woman.
So, wow!
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS!
I bet you are as excited as I am! OF COURSE YOU ARE!
Finland?
I thought he was from Denmark?
Anyone still wondering why Tafultong doesn't care anymore about this?
hahahaha Taf is probably feeling a bit burned, but he can't say he wasn't aware that the most likely scenario that the skeptics were talking about from day one turned out to be true.
Only the goofballs (who always pretend what's going on is far more earth-shattering and exciting that what actually is going on) believed Phoney was anything other than some dude making youtube videos to promote his Europop muzik.
isn't this the part where an overly-sensitive delusional PIDer says something like YOU'VE BEEN WARNED and I'M ONTO SOMETHING REALLY BIG?
yeah, we have the routine down by now.
Don't say you weren't warned.
It was your choice and you were given all you needed to make the right decision.
I'm onto something really big, just so you know.
like clockwork!
then funny guy shows up
It IS like clockwork, except my clock goes in reverse as in Finnish time machine!
How could you not say that is onto something big??!?
I have reached the Finnish line which is ahead of all of you and behind you in time! So I have won and lost simultaneously when all you do is lose in the present!
When YOU can go back in time to light the Paul shrine candles then you can talk about big!
happy birthday beatle Jane. start blowing out your birthday candles early.
oh wait a minute, i'm not mccartnay.
drag isn't it.
now isn't this the tune we can all just aspire to.
whateverrrrrr
