invanddis.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=Clues&action=display&thread=1080663939It was whilst reading this old thread that I decide to do some research. The thread suggests that every single person and thing on Sgt. Pepper is there for a reason... Just behind Diana Dors on the cover is someone known as a Legionnaire from the Order of the Buffalos, AKA Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes. Here is the wiki link that describes them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Antediluvian_Order_of_BuffaloesThere I noticed a few things that may act as clues; "Its aim is to aid members in need and their families, and the families of deceased members" You could say that the Beatles were closer than many real families, there is even an article somewhere in which somebody analyses the two "Beatle Groups" on the cover and portrays each of them as a member of a family. "Only people who actually appeared on stage could become members" So amongst this collection of people on the album cover I thought we had just a simple charity worker, when really we have yet another actor! It also hints at the idea that Faul may be a member of this Order and had previously been a stage performer and entertainer....

Thnaks for the interesting post. The Wiki entry says that the Buffalos were formed so that the backstage workers could have a place to go however. So, the key here could be backstage? Also notes a similarity to Freemasonry.

That is very informative. Thank you, P.P.
That's a distinct possibility.

It reminds me of the Flintstones where Fred was a member of the Royal Order of WaterBuffaloes...the cartoonist way of flaunting secret orders, but in a joking way.... ...Or the Honeymooners and the Order of Racoons....
To every select group of individuals, in any "high" place, like entertainment, politics or financial related...there is a secret order....

So, then, the RAOB is possibly one more element that inter-played into the Beatles lives during that time period? I wonder if many of the people shown on Pepper are linked to the RAOB in some way as well? That seems feasible for al of the acting/Hollywood/performing people shown. I see no ties E.A.Poe, Ghandi, or Stu Sutcliffe, for instance, but they have other logical links to the Beatles as persons known(Stu) or admired (the other 2) by Paul.
Just one example: in "Gotta Sing, Gotta Dance", Bill's performance is, to my way of seeing things, a solid indicator of much prior professional stage experience.
Where in JPM's background did he ever take a turn at being featured in a glitzy tap-dancing spectacle? Not that that matters one whit in the final analysis........JPM and William were/are both great with or without any dancing. Isn't the idea of "The Tap Dancing Beatles" a little unexpected? Imagine Ed Sullivan:
And now, ladies and gentleman, our TV audience at home, please welcome to the stage, THE TAP-DANCING BEATLES!
Hmmmm......it MUST have been William that got them to do "Your Mother Should Know" as a Busby Berkely-styled production number centered on the Fabs strutting down a grand staircase in white tails. Doesn't seem like a George Harrison concept, somehow......I enjoyed that number. I enjoyed the Gotta Sing number a lot, too. I enjoyed the whole darn TV special.
Anyone notice the part in the pub where that older lady who looks like John Lennon in drag gives William a peck on the cheek?.....lol......I must be seeing things.....
The concert sequences of Wings are terrific in that show as well.

From Apollo C. Vermouth's posting in the Sgt. Pepper People thread:
The (West German) Stockhausen face, when mirrored and looked at through a glass onion magnifying glass becomes Adolph Hitler speaking into a microphone before a Nuremberg Rally-appearing crowd, that doubles into a merger picture forming the Wings and claws of a black eagle. Don't forget the Sgt. Pepper people were also selected and arranged to form the hidden picture clues.

Well, if you think about it Beacon, although the Buffalo is of both North America and parts of Europe, I dare say the animal is a bit more renowned in the USA. So, in other words, the American bison, known for living in the Great Plains, stands behind the door. Little Shirley Temple, Jr Aviator, stands by to give directions. lol www.merceronline.com/Native/native05.htm Before she left them, the woman said she would return, the legend says.
As she walked away she turned into a young white buffalo.
the return of White Buffalo Calf Woman marks the arrival of a new era of reconciliation among races and respect for the Earth.Supposing these wild Indians By chance should come us near, We will unite together Our hearts all free from care, We will march down into the town, my boys, And give the fatal blow, We lay down on the banks Of the pleasant Ohio, We'll wander through the wild woods And we'll chase the buffalo. We'll chase the buffalo We'll wander through the wild woods And chase the buffalo.The name Ohio originates from the Iroquois Indian word for good river.

I recently came across this information on a blog site but I shall repeat as it seems quite interesting. In a new video from Beyonce she appears to be wearing the insignia of the RAOB - The Royal Antideluvian Order of the Buffaloes - and displaying their motto, Justice, Truth, Philanthropy! The RAOB insignia can be seen at the bottom of the picture and the slogans appear at the top, above the image of Jay Z. Below is a picture of an RAOB medal displaying the motto. Not sure what the significance, if any, there is, however Jay Z has often been accused of employing masonic symbolism and this seems to be another example. Alternatively, 2013 will see the 66th anniversary of the death of the Great Beast 666, Aleister Crowley so maybe if we want to know the real meaning behind the use of the RAOB character on Sgt Pepper we should ask Jay Z! beaconfilms2011.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/beyonce-and-raob.html
