Lenmac, that's the one I was thinking of...it's as if you were reading my mind....
I knew I saw that one before....however, the one where it looks like the body of Paul tossed over something...that's creepy.

To think that someone who brought so much pleasure with his music ends up in a dumpster...that's disgusting for the perpetrators, and tragic to his untimely death.

I think that sequence means: what happened - where it happened. The Winged Lion is the symbol of Venice but THAT lion has a "Stars and Stripes" ball under his hand. So, yes Venice, but that in the U.S.A. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Venice-CA-Canal-1921.jpgHere it is Venice, Los Angeles, with its roller coaster. Tuesday, August 23, 1966 night. The Beatles were flying from New York to Los Angeles. The day after George and others stayed on the Blue Jay Way - Beverly Hills - waiting for. That's OFFICIAL Chronology. That's what they told us in plain TEXT >CODE<

In any event, it's hard to imagine a fatal accident involving JPM taking place at an amusement park in the entertainment capital of the world being hushed up. An automobile accident taking place in the early morning hours of a deserted road in London being hushed up is considerably more plausible.

Not to be funny GN but is the "Winged Lion" an actual symbol of Venice?
It also appears to be a symbol of St. Mark, but I haven't yet found a reference to "Stars and Stripes", I hope you can prove me wrong.

I believe that he is referring to the design on the ball underneath the lion's foot. That actually looks as though it more closely resembles the "Stars and Bars" of one of the flags of the Confederate States of America, but I don't think that either the "Stars and Stripes" or the "Stars and Bars" are supposed to be represented by that design.

Aug 23-24 In the air to L.A., land around 2AM.
Aug 24: Early AM: Settle in at Curson Terrace home, where they stayed a year before.
Aug 25: Revolver press conference. (daytime)
Thing is.. It seems rather hard to believe that something happened between the time they unpacked their luggage early on the 24th and the time they all appeared the next day to a widely reported (and filmed) press conference, hardly looking like they were dealing with the shocking death of Paul.. Not to mention that Paul was there.. Say he's a replacement if you like, but well.. the logistics of that are beyond belief!

You are "hopefully" wrong. europeforvisitors.com/venice/articles/winged_lion_of_st_mark.htm"The local religious and civic authorities quickly elected St. Mark as Venice's patron saint, and the apostle's traditional symbol--a winged lion--became the logo of the Venetian Republic."

That photo is no mannequin. Really? How do you know? I'm not saying that it is or it isn't a mannequin. But it certainly isn't distinguishable as JPM or anyone else. I still don't see why should anyone trust it. It comes from the same source that manipulated a picture of JPM in a swimming pool to look as if he were lying in state.

Take a look at those photos: On the left Paul among the Fabs at NY interview on August 22th 1966. On the right Faul "on the road" wearing the same dress and a weird wig. Very telling. The b/w picture is from when they were in the the Philippines. My take on it is he liked that shirt/jacket combo.. There are ample stills of the Beatles landing and deplaning on August 31, not much video/audio, because they did get out of there within a few minutes. That can suggest something if you like, IMO they were sick of the press/attention.

IMO, the photo on the right is JPM but it has been stretched/doctoered to look more like Faul. Therefore, not "pure" vintage.

The lyrics of "Come Together" are certainly intriguing for PID/PWR purposes, but if it's physically and chronologically impossible for Paul to have died in a roller coaster accident in Los Angeles, then the lyrics don't magically overcome those barriers. Again, what clues there are overwhelmingly refer to an automobile accident.
