Great clip, I had forgotten about that That song clip is Mother People from the Mothers album We're Only In It For The Money..... one of the best albums of all time! If you don't own WOIIFTM, you should buy it immediately. Let's see, I've bought this on LP, & again on LP after my dad broke the 1st one, on 8-track, on cd, & most recently the Gold Disc cd. One of my all-time favorite albums  Mirror the bass drum. Who are the two cats getting hit by the lightning?  |

Thanks EB! Is it any clearer on the hard copy? Can you guess who our electrified couple is? P(D) No, that's about the same as what I've got with the cd (Rykodisc version) Sorry inkfrog wouldn't let me post the scan full size (1361x1275) No idea who those 2 people are. My guess is some actress or model from the 30's or 40's... & who knows who the accordian player guy is. You'd think there would be a who's who map of this cover out there somewhere, but maybe not..... hell, Zappa may not have known who everybody was. Thanks for the wiki links etc B... lots of info I didn't know before. |

I was just looking at my large WOIIFTM wallpaper & just realized he's not playing accordion... that shape belongs with the cartoon guy in front of them.... maybe an old cartoon camera taking a picture of the back of LBJ's head? |

I wrote:And now, when I look back on it, I find it just a little bit strange that the 2 main characters
(enemies to each other that they were) had the names Diego and Garcia.
Because, as I have mentioned previously, there is an island in the Indian ocean called Diego Garcia,
which is controlled by the US Navy, and is used for military communications and other kinds
of secret stuff, and nobody much pays attention to it who doesn't have a need to, but still, it's
odd that the names Diego and Garcia come together in two places in my mind: the TV show
"Zorro!" and the island out in the middle of nowhere where all kinds of secret stuff goes on.
And - gee whiz! - if I didn't know any better, I might be tempted to think that maybe some time
traveler from the future may have wanted all of us TV-watching kids in the USA in the 1950s
to remember the names Diego and Garcia for some reason, and to think of a character who was
like Superman, except that it began with a Z, in connection with it.
[/size] 100s Of Bunker-Busters To Diego Garciawww.heraldscotland.com/news/world-news/final-destination-iran-1.1013151"Final destination Iran?Rob Edwards 14 Mar 2010 Hundreds of powerful US “bunker-buster” bombs are being shipped from California to the British island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean in preparation for a possible attack on Iran. The Sunday Herald can reveal that the US government signed a contract in January to transport 10 ammunition containers to the island. According to a cargo manifest from the US navy, this included 387 “Blu” bombs used for blasting hardened or underground structures. Experts say that they are being put in place for an assault on Iran’s controversial nuclear facilities. There has long been speculation that the US military is preparing for such an attack, should diplomacy fail to persuade Iran not to make nuclear weapons. Although Diego Garcia is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, it is used by the US as a military base under an agreement made in 1971. The agreement led to 2,000 native islanders being forcibly evicted to the Seychelles and Mauritius. The Sunday Herald reported in 2007 that stealth bomber hangers on the island were being equipped to take bunker-buster bombs. Although the story was not confirmed at the time, the new evidence suggests that it was accurate. Contract details for the shipment to Diego Garcia were posted on an international tenders’ website by the US navy. A shipping company based in Florida, Superior Maritime Services, will be paid $699,500 to carry many thousands of military items from Concord, California, to Diego Garcia. Crucially, the cargo includes 195 smart, guided, Blu-110 bombs and 192 massive 2000lb Blu-117 bombs.
“They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran,” said Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London, co-author of a recent study on US preparations for an attack on Iran. “US bombers are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours,” he added. The preparations were being made by the US military, but it would be up to President Obama to make the final decision. He may decide that it would be better for the US to act instead of Israel, Plesch argued. “The US is not publicising the scale of these preparations to deter Iran, tending to make confrontation more likely,” he added. “The US ... is using its forces as part of an overall strategy of shaping Iran’s actions.” According to Ian Davis, director of the new independent thinktank, Nato Watch, the shipment to Diego Garcia is a major concern. “We would urge the US to clarify its intentions for these weapons, and the Foreign Office to clarify its attitude to the use of Diego Garcia for an attack on Iran,” he said. For Alan Mackinnon, chair of Scottish CND, the revelation was “extremely worrying”. He stated: “It is clear that the US government continues to beat the drums of war over Iran, most recently in the statements of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. “It is depressingly similar to the rhetoric we heard prior to the war in Iraq in 2003.” The British Ministry of Defence has said in the past that the US government would need permission to use Diego Garcia for offensive action. It has already been used for strikes against Iraq during the 1991 and 2003 Gulf wars. About 50 British military staff are stationed on the island, with more than 3,200 US personnel. Part of the Chagos Archipelago, it lies about 1,000 miles from the southern coasts of India and Sri Lanka, well placed for missions to Iran. The US Department of Defence did not respond to a request for a comment. "

If that is a real 1973 Superman comic, it is simply amazing. Great find and excellent fuel to spark debate in the ongoing Illuminati and New World Order conspiracy.
The implications, even though the media was a comic, is the whole fiasco was planned from the very beginning. This also may show 9/11 has a special astrological significance with the numerological date, in the occult and secret society circles.
"The north tower was opened in Dec. 1970 and the south tower in Jan. 1972; they were dedicated in April 1973. They were the world's tallest buildings for only a short time, since the Sears Tower in Chicago was completed in May 1973. However, the towers were ranked as the fifth and sixth tallest buildings in the world at the time of their destruction on Sept. 11, 2001."

That Superman comic is a great find! I'm sure lots of you are aware of this by now...  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_MusicParty Music is the fourth studio album by The Coup, an alternative hip hop group based in Oakland, California. The album was originally released by 75 Ark Records and has since been re-released by Epitaph Records after the group's signing in 2004. The album, which was originally scheduled to be released in early September 2001,[1] is best known for its original cover art, which depicted Boots Riley and Pam the Funkstress appearing to detonate the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center[2]. What appears to be a detonating device is in actuality a digital chromatic tuner, which is used in music to tune instruments or vocals during warm ups.[citation needed] The words on the tuner read Covert-Labs. The art was created in June 2001.[1] After the September 11, 2001, attacks, the album's release was delayed until November 2001 to allow new cover art to be created. In an interview with Seattle newspaper The Stranger, Boots Riley spoke about his fight to keep the album cover following the events of September 11: “There's been a whitewash in the media over the past couple days over what the U.S.'s role in the world is, and the fact that they kill hundreds of thousands of people per year to protect profit. Now how can I get to the point where I could be saying that on the world stage, and interrupt the lies that CBS, CNN, NBC, and everyone is saying? In my view, that [would be] by keeping the cover. Not because I think by looking at the cover you get all of this message that I'm telling you, but as a way to have a platform to interrupt the stream of lies that are being told right now." |

The comic is dated October, but it was on the stands in September, just an interesting fact. I probably still have that issue in my stash of junk at home, I was a real fan at the time. What is the storyline I wonder?

The cover had a statue of Superman in a museum, with two people looking at it; one asking the other, "Whatever became of him?" So perhaps 911 did him in.  Too much thermite kryptonite in the buildings, I reckon. JoJo: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$[/color] Happy St Patty's Day, btw! |

This thread is ridiculous!
There was no report about Paul in a fatal car crash that they said they would cover at 11 pm on 9/12/66 but never did! You people are just making the whole thing up to get attention!
It's about as accurate as SunKing's delusional fantasies!

Hmm well I trust LB's recollections from page one, or at least he is being truthful about what he remembers from the day.
Maccafan, take a chill pill please, posters who take part in the discussion with that tone are not tolerated for very long here..
However, if I misinterpreted "You people are just making the whole thing up to get attention" as anything other than a gentle rejoinder, I apologize..

Ernest Schultze is a piece of shit writer. Don't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth. His book is a work of fiction. That's kind of "poisoning the well", maccafan. As far as I know, Ernest Schultze has written nothing other than this particular book, so there isn't really enough material on which to judge him as a writer -- and the one book in question that he did write reads pretty well, I think, as a work of fiction, if nothing else. Why should one not believe a single word that comes from his mouth? Do you have reason to believe that he's a convicted felon? A con artist? In any event, you led off your end of the conversation by saying that people who claimed to remember hearing of an incomplete news report -- that was never followed up upon -- of a Beatle in a car accident are imagining or misremembering the event. As far as I know, Ernest Schultze has never had anything to do with this forum, and I simply wanted to point out that here was someone else who felt that he had an independent recollection of a similar news report. |

That's my point. They are either misremembering or imagining something like that. I'd pick the latter |

OK, let's see... I, Ernest Schultze, and iburiedpaul's high school teacher, all remember an event, - or in my case, hearing about the event -, but the three of us, who were alive at the time, are just imagining that we heard about it, while maccafan87, who was not alive at the time, has decided that the three of us are all just a bunch of old farts, who, being old and mentally deficient, are easily pursuaded that we've experienced things that never happened, and are misremembering and imagining. Oh yes, I definitely go with that. That sounds right to me. Uh huh.  |

Then Letter b Iburiedpaul's school teacher, iburiedpaul are insane for not only remembering something that didn't actually happen (there's no way they would cover up Paul's death), and for believing the Paul is Dead theory. A stupid rumor that was started by people who were hooked on marijuana, LSD, and what not.
It also doesn't help that PID sites, such as sunking's plastic macca, and David icke's forums doctor images of Paul post-1966, and twist everything around just to make it seem like believable evidence, when it's really not.
Oh, and did I tell you that the wired article from 2009 is fraudulent?

You left out Ernest Schultze.
Insane now, we are, eh?
You just keep getting so much better all the time!
I'm sure you can get your foot into your mouth all the way up to
your kneecap
if you just keep trying, but perhaps before you go any further, you should
try to get the story straight.
(Since you weren't there, perhaps you'd like to tell us what it is that we heard.)
The "Paul is Dead" rumor didn't sweep the US 'til October of 1969, which
was considerably after the car accident report that some people alledgedly
heard about during the Monkees TV show a few years earlier.
Nor is there evidence that the "'Paul is Dead theory' (was) A stupid rumor
that was started by people who were hooked on marijuana, LSD, and what not",
but who am I to question your omniscience about such things?
You may want to dig a little deeper, though, so as not to appear totally boorish.

It's possible it's entirely accurate. It's also possible there was a news cast that said that but they just got it wrong. Wouldn't be the first time a news agency tried to scoop and didn't report the actual event (at least accurately) - then buried it out of embarrassment. And no internet, etc back then. |
