James Paul McCartney's assassination was more violent, of course, because of the beheading. Was this done in a French prison by Don Knotts?

The Duchess of KirkcaldyAlways smiling and arriving late for tea The Duke was having problems With a message at the local bird and BeeKirkcaldy is located in Fife, Scotland.

Was this done in a French prison by Don Knotts? Funny. I don't necessarily think that Paul was decapitated but I've always wondered about this pic from MMT and what the Beatles were trying to tell us:

Don't be silly. Don Knotts was an asset of the US Army. Under DeGaulle's' Fifth Republic, France's relationship with the Anglo-American bloc was quite frigid at the time. Basic history. James Paul McCartney's assassination was more violent, of course, because of the beheading. Was this done in a French prison by Don Knotts?

No problem. I accept traveler checks and kittens. What? oh god this is momentous but I don't know WHY!This thread begins with the very best picture of William ever taken in the 60's. Haven't you all noticed? The look of absolute placid confidence. Like, everything is well. It's a good photo. I wish I had one where I wasn't either pursing my lips, flaring my nostrils, squinting my eyes, pushing my tongue sideways, or arching the exact wrong eyebrow. I mean it was never natural. It just wasn't easy for me. I dread photographs. They always scared me. argh Why do you accept kittens? As payment for services? Or, a sort of dowry? What is this thread about? What is OCD? I understand ADHD, but what is OCD? Dying in Peace is the desirable style in which to go.

“Unlike four years ago, our tolerance level is much lower.. Please bear that in mind”
Please bear in mind, too, that I wouldn’t have even considered rebutting to this at all if it weren’t for the highly despicable act of pretending some poster was Neil Aspinall on the very day that he died, or soon thereafter. I kind of accepted this as a just a bunch of white middle-class people with too much time on their hands having fun on the internet. But when you started disrespecting people and their families at the time of their deaths just to add a bit more artificial mystery to the farce, then this stops being fun and starts to be worthy of serious criticism. I’ll gladly stop my critique when the figure responsible for such appalling behavior apologizes.
“We're open to being called foolish if we say that we see differences, because, as you assert, it doesn't wash in the courts of law, but I also think that reasonable doubt rears its lenient head when comparing images that have curious differences”
Not only does it not “wash in the courts of law” but, as a science experiment, the photo comparison is even more disreputable. Furthermore, the “reasonable doubt” is explained quite easily, and I have already done so. Angles, lighting, and resolution can all radically change the way someone looks in pictures – the differences are not “curious”, they are outright expected. If Paul looked the same in every single picture, I think you would probably have more reason to be curious. Furthermore, the very premise becomes undone when you realize that you are not simply comparing photographs from two different eras – you are comparing only the ones where stark differences are pronounced and omitting the ones where stark differences don’t exist. When one so clearly displays their bias in their examples (which are poor in the first place and do not constitute evidence), the whole theory is undermined, and quite severely.
“The facial hair & weird clothes & very different music did the job”
The music isn’t all that different. Sure, it’s a departure for The Beatles, but there’s nothing on Sgt. Pepper that wasn’t predicted by Revolver or inspired by Pet Sounds. I’ve already dealt with “facial hair” elsewhere, and “weird clothes” is laughable.
“Yet the guy in Pauls place doesn't really look like JPM. He's WAY too tall, & his face is way too long. Ya got this big lanky guy who looks a little like JPM standing in JPM's place, yet millions of people weren't freaking out wondering what happened to Paul”
I have heard this “Paul is taller” thing before and I find it unconvincing. First of all, photographs cannot tell you someone’s height, so if you’re judging someone’s height by a picture, then your bias is clearly showing. One might use the Sgt. Pepper cover as a case of Paul’s height because all The Beatles are standing next to each other. In the cover itself, Paul looks like he’s about two inches taller than John and about one inch taller than George (which should immediately call into question the whole premise, given that they were all the same height). If you look at Mark Lewisohn’s book “The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions” though, you will see why. In it, there are many outtakes from the cover art photo session. On page 116, you see a shot where the positions are reversed with Ringo and John flanking the drum kit, and George and Paul in the middle (positions reversed). In this shot, George looks about two inches taller than Paul. This is all, in fact, very easily explained. If you look at the front cover, Paul is standing in front of Ringo, who is standing in front of John. Paul was also standing slightly in front of George. The positioning then would naturally make Paul look the tallest – a bit taller than George, and much taller than John, who is basically standing the farthest behind on the cover. On page 118, we see outtakes from the centerfold photo shoot. There are two pictures – one where both Paul and George are the same height and John, who is slouching (like he is on the front cover, explaining THAT height difference) is about two inches shorter. In the other picture, George looks a little bit taller than Paul, who looks a little bit taller than John. But Paul is slouching a little, and John is slouching a lot. In fact, the only consistent thing in any of these photos is that John looks shorter than Paul and George, when in reality he wasn’t. But what all of this shows is that proximity to the camera, and the position of the body itself can alter the way someone looks (including their height) dramatically. Again, though, because the very nature of your investigation is so flawed from the start, it is only natural that you should choose such appallingly poor examples in an attempt to reinforce your claims.
I won’t deal with “his face is way too long”. This again comes down to the nature of photography – a truism that you seem incapable of understanding.
“And it's obviously still working on anybody who doesn't care to just stop & open their eyes”
Again, thank you for the conspiracy theory lingo. Your examples and rhetoric have helped to make me even more unconvinced. Again, as I have been saying from the beginning, provide an actual piece of legitimate evidence, and I will actually consider it.

Again, we went through this four years ago, one by one they gave up and went away.. Much like you they wrote long screeds about how we were deluding ourselves and oh yes my favorite: "It won't hold up in a court of law"
Try to let this sink in as best you can Jguildersleeve:
No one here wants to take this to a court of law!
So stop talking about it.
Anyway, they left us, I'm sure scratching their heads at our "delusions". Most voluntarily, one or two became unbearably obnoxious. (and so were shown the door) I predict you will not get your points across to anyone who is a regular poster here.. But if you wish to tilt at windmills Don, be my guest.
Oh and what you wish regarding the Neil Aspinall thing.. Ain't gonna happen.

Your intellect may be above average, but your wisdom is underdeveloped, run along along now.
