thanks for the heads up Tafultong would have missed those videos
happy new year! thanks for a great 08
Yes, tafultong, thank you for the great job you've done all year.
Byrdsmaniac
Thank you Tafultong for a great year and all your hard work! I check your site more then Drudgereport.
Seriously you need ad's to generate some income for all the time you spend on this.
Happy New Year!
Prosperity and happiness to every one of you.
The check is in the mail.
(Sir Paul)
HAPPY FUCKING PATHETIC NEW YEAR!!!
Someone kill me.
Now what kind of attitude is that?
(Hands over a gun.)
Happiness is 33
I am happy every n00b spouts off a 33 without realizing 32.
But hey!!! I hear this 33 is cool!!
and you'd buy it
but you already bought into it...
Happy new year Taf.
..and I'll even wish a happy new year to that old Scrooge...Iamaphoney.
Only three more years to go until......... you guessed it!
'til iamaphoney grants that interview?
The fake name "Iamaphoney" means nothing until he gives us his name and history. I would hope that he stops playing games in 2009 and makes the jump to the next level with David Icke and Alex Jones who, as I've pointed out, make far more incendiary claims than the fake "Iamaphoney". When he stands behind his work than I'll consider taking him seriously.

Paul McCartney.
search him up in google!
It's not Paul McCartney. This fantasy that Paul is making videos on YouTube calling himself the grandson of Aleistar Crowley, the Zodiac killer, Manson's leader and talking up his ex-wife is a neat way to sweep suspicions under the rug and misdirect viewers away from Denmark. No wonder "Iamaphoney" loves it when viewers do that. Anything to shift the attention away from him.
33 is truth and nothing is real. Iaap is a liar and a fraud. That's all you need to know. Now get on with the show.
have you ever kicked a man in his dick-sack?
about that time? no?
Whether one is a believer or naysayer, 2009 is surely the end of the line for iaap - it's put up or shut up year. Calls for patience and continued insistance that 'it's only the beginning' will only result in droves more people simply losing interest/concluding it really was just bs right from the beginning.

Judging by the pitiful 41 comments on Iamaphoney's video by the usual subjects I'd say this blog has trumped Iamaphoney himself. Yet another reason to rename it Tafultong's PID blog or something. I come here to keep up with all of you guys and see what Tafultong has cookin' this week.

It wouldn't be far fetched to suggest that the majority of the YT channels, those posting the pro phoney riddles, are the same individuals behind iamaphoney.
Tafultong had a long list of Iamaphoney YT aliases on this blog at one point. Factor those in with the multiple accounts by his fans who also subscribe and you get the REAL picture of how many subscribers he really has.
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE
THE REVELATION WILL NOT BE YOUTUBEILISED
grandfatheraleister is definitely mikeNL. exact same method of responding to comments. hell thats proof more then all the bloody clues he keeps spouting.
i thought the grandfather was tafultong? oops, no i remember that taf said he wasnt
hell maybe grandfatheraleister is YKMN with all the "33" stuff.
wouldnt it be cool if every person was THE SAME PERSON?
The Multiple personality Guinness Book of World Records goes to......

if mikeNL was grandfather then he really lied about his age. And that would make him really phony. Or, Phoney.

You give Mikey too much credit. Have you not seen mikey's videos? they are fucking pathetic.
I, also, can comment first on all PID-related videos as long as I have the proper search set up and on my toolbar.

i have watched both the grandfatheraleisters videos and the MikeyNL1038 videos, they are indistinguishable from one anothers. As is theres responses comments to the watchers of the videos. Very the same. I am sure the are together one person.

The dam is breaking. The truth is coming out. The accounts and videos are being removed.
MikeyNL sure is getting exposed lately! First the revelation about his age and sexuality, now we find out he is GFA!!!!!! Mikey, why the secrecy for so long? Please just tell us the truth about yourself.
Hey, he tried to tell us. What did you thing GFgay stood for???
This time next week, claims will be filed against Mike from the estate of Elvis, and Freddy Mercury for not only copyright infringment but utter butchery by means of cover songs. The legal brief will be so iron clad that by its sheer weight and magnitude GFAs videos will also be pulled into the vortex. Then the new year can begin. Take that to the bank. My brother Harold is on the cell phone as we speaking with Paul. Paul said, and I quote
"You can't arse for a better lawsuit then has been prepared. We arsed them to stop nicely, now to quote my good friend Alice Cooper, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY."
Harold said that Paul can't be arsed to take much more of this. First are the acusations that he spoke backwards on the latest fireman album, which is catagorically untrue. I mean, listen to it. Not a word of it is backwards. Not a one. We arsed him, he said "No".
Second are the insinuations that Paul is somehow involved in this whole mess. Nothing could be further from the truth. If Paul was involved the videos and music would have been better. I challenge you to dispute that. The man wrote "Let it Be" for the love of God. I think he knows a thing or two about videos! He has made HUNDREDS of them. Thirdly, tonight is the first time ever that Paul has seen any of these videos. And they are now dropping like flies. Just you watch. Next week, they will all be removed.
1 person who believes Mikey is GFA will own this shit tonight.. by sheer number of comments alone...
they will probably flunk this semester and has already flunked last semester.
but here.... here. in their anonymous comments, they still have a voice.
"First are the acusations that he spoke backwards on the latest fireman album, which is catagorically untrue. I mean, listen to it. Not a word of it is backwards. Not a one. We arsed him, he said "No"."
Actually Bern, that is inaccurate.
He said.. "On" which we then turned into a wav file and played backwards. Which sounded somewhat like the word "no", but more eeirly sounded like "Paul is toast", which could be "Paul needs toast" which he used to say to Mal Evans when requesting a beans on toast sandwhich. At that time Mal was also known as IAMASANDWHICH.
When also played backwards at one quarter of the speed, it sounded like "John needs socks" which would have sent Mal into a tizzy hissy fit to run out to a local Marks and Spencer store and buy six pairs of cotton socks for him. Thank God alcohol, a divorce, a pellet rifle and the LAPD put a stop to that nonsense. Paul suffers from "sock jealousy" meaning he must have the best socks in any room he is in. His security detail will remove by force any socks better then his, which caused quite a stir when visiting the white house at a function where Sir Elton John was attending. Paul covets sequined socks. The two are no longer on speaking terms. Even though they share the same first name "Sir".
In summary, GFA is MikeNL and all videos will be removed by the middle of next week. Iamafoeny will be in a turkish prison. Tafultong will have changed the name of this blog. And me and my brother Bern will be receiving a much vacation after the next awards ceremony where we will get another lifetime achievement award for saving Paul's bacon. Not literal bacon, because he is a strict vegan. But his metaphorical bacon.

"at a function where Sir Elton John was attending. Paul covets sequined socks. The two are no longer on speaking terms. Even though they share the same first name "Sir"."
That is so sad! They were like brothers!
Girls, before we get on Oprah, we need to knit some socks for Paul and put some sequins on them. And take them to the unknown burial grave that the real Paul is in. The photographic evidence proves this. We will prevail. Oprah needs to know the truth about the real Paul McCartney that we discovered from searching for images on google.
"a function where Sir Elton John was attending. Paul covets sequined socks. The two are no longer on speaking terms. Even though they share the same first name "Sir"."
How do you know this?? This is a top level secret!
Harold and me are on a need to know basis. Paul tells us everything we need to know. Since we saved his bacon. He hates when we say that because the idea of anyone saying a word containing a meat product drives him almost as nuts as someone wearing better socks then him.
"Even though they share the same first name "Sir".""
OMFG!!! another clue!!!! ! !
REALLY!
well, elton jon did sing "Maybe you'll get a replacement" in the song "Goodbye Yellowbrick road". He was singing about Paul. He knew he coveted his socks.

Glad you arsed that yank. a stone is a British term, like the word "arsed"
It is a word for weight measurement.
One stone is equal to 14 of your lbs.
So a bloke weighing in at 10 stone is 140 of your lbs. A scrawny chap.

Whatever you do just don't say that the Paul of 64 was gay. The Oprah women will jump all over you. They have great proof too! Paul is(was?) hairy and therefore could never be gay. See? That makes perfect sense. Thank God that brain trust at PIDMHMH is working overtime.

Paul of 64 was known as a "bear". A hairy g*y man. The replacement was trained to be exactly like paul in every way, only shaved.

Mikey was on the scene long before GFA ever appeared. Mikey, I give you credit. I never suspected it was you until you posted such similar replies to comments on your "Sloop John B." video. But it's pretty obvious now, looking back on it, really.
Ok. So we know John Charles 2007 is youknowmyname231. And we know MikeyNL is grandfatheraleister. Now, let's figure out who iamaphoney is. 2 down, 1 to go.

"You may only have one leg, but it's the most beautiful leg I have ever seen." - Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.
Wow the mysteries are being solved left and right!
Paul McCartney, world renowned musical genius, and trend-setting pop star of Beatle fame, died in a car crash in 1966. For reasons both personal and professional, a concerted and clandestine campaign to divert attention from the matter was immediately undertaken. The facts surrounding McCartney's death were tightly guarded, and details obsessively concealed and obscured to this day. The truth was immediately buried in a frenzied yet amazingly well coordinated subterfuge. For nearly four decades now our arcane secret has avoided full disclosure through total commitment. We're a fraternal order you see, we of The Beatles circuit. And a postioric group of divergent yet royal personalities. LOLLZ hey's betraying and shocking those who know him best!!!!! WTFFFFF
anyone know who that old guy who is saying that? is it mikeyNL1038?
maybe its MikeNL when he is Grandfatheraleister, split personality episode.

Mikey, here's some constructive criticism for you. You need to work on your filmmaking, especially the music you incorporate. The songs you used in the GFA videos didn't really fit in with PID. Instead, they sound like something out of the movie "Garden State." That's some Zach Braff shit. Also, the wizard of Oz is about the robbery of America's gold and the formation of a central bank. Not PID.
Mikey is Zach Braff!
Yeah you should use speed metal. that would kick *ss!

No. He should have used only Beatles music. That is the only thing that applies to PID.
there is absolutely no correlation between the wizard of oz and PID. None. Period. End of story.
Mikey should have used some White Snake. Make the mullet hair crowd happy.
Mikey should have used Dio. Ever see the corna handsigns? Lots!
Mike, now that we know you're GFA, will you come out and tell us how you believe Stanley Kubrick fit into all of this. I remember you made a few videos solely about Kubrick. And phoney puts the space pod from 2001 in some of the rotten apples. What's the deal? I'm a big Kubrick fan and I want to know what the two of you suspect. Please tell us.
Mikey should use a condom or he's gonna get aids.
I wish everyone in this little community we call Tafultong's blog (and iamaphoney, too!) could spend an evening in a room with James Paul McCartney. Just all of us and Paul. Imagine what mayhem would ensue!!!!!! Hilarity, too, probably.

Dennis had befriended Charles Manson.
(quoting wikipedia)" The Beach Boys released a Manson song, originally titled "Cease To Exist", but reworked as "Never Learn Not To Love", as a single B-side. The song, credited only to Dennis, was said to have been purchased from Manson.[citation needed]"
Of Manson, Dennis said:
"I know why Charles Manson did what he did. Someday, I'll tell the world. I'll write a book and explain why he did it."
But then he drowned.
9/11 was an inside job?
Didn't he do it because the bosses wanted the Polanski baby dead?
The difference is that YKMN told us who he was. He is the only one of the bunch to give us some truth, even though it made the PIDers freak out.
When they won't tell you the truth, figure it out for yourself. Truth is attainable. That's what we did with grandfatheraleister. Now it's time to do that same for phoney.

Having seen a number of NWO video series, I realize they are pretty much indistinguishable from Phoney. THey all try to connect various "clues" to a larger conspiracy. Even the comments on those channels are the same as the kind you get on PHoney's page. The only difference is that Phoney focuses mainly on Paul, otherwise it's really more of the same.
"The PIDders hate John Charles and love youknowmyname"
I think that's the point that he/they are making. Sort of like the Paul/Faul love/hate dynamic.
Iamaphoney=Kermit Schaffer
Paul McCartney=Uncle Don
PID=Famous Bloopers
It's a stretch but hear me out:
In the 1950's Kermit Schaffer coined the term "blooper" and put together radio and TV shows featuring on-air mistakes in the media. Of course he didn't have access to enough of them to build a career on so he conveniently began inventing them. One victim of Kermit's hoax was kiddie radio program host Uncle Don. According to Kermit at the end of one of Uncle Don's shows in the 1930's Uncle Don, not realizing the microphone was still on, muttered "well that ought to hold the little bastards" and ruined his career. Children were shocked, parents mortified and Uncle Don never worked again. The story became immensely popular because it's human nature to want to take a down a celebrity a peg or two. It makes us feel better about ourselves. The story was repeated in hundreds of articles and was accepted as fact. The problem was that Uncle Don never actually said anything like that. If he had it would have made the papers in the 1930's and ended his career but there was no such blooper in reality and Uncle Don continued into retirement.
Kermit got around that problem by fabricating an audio recording of the blooper. Naturally this was marketed and sold on hundreds of "blooper" cassettes and everyone laughed and laughed at Uncle Don's expense. Only it wasn't Uncle Don's voice as listeners to the original Uncle Don show attested and those who worked with him made clear. It didn't matter though because it was such a good story that people WANTED to believe it. Even now books about the golden age of radio address this hoax but if you talk to people on the street and ask them if they ever heard about the kiddie show host who said "well that ought to hold the little bastards" into an open mike when he thought he was off the air, people will smile and say they have and it serves Uncle Don right that he was exposed as a fraud.
Like PID, the Uncle Don hoax reveals more about the cynicism of human nature than it does about the subject involved.
Hmmm...shades of PID?
http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/radio/uncledon.asp
I liked the reports of various listeners who claimed to have heard the blooper, all with wildly different stories. Reminds me of NIR. :)
