Paul is Dead

I think it makes a little sense. I mean, we're still talking about today aren't we? I can see why they would do it.

The theory of the death makes no sense, but if was a publicity stunt, I'm not surprised.

Ultimately I think most of this is fabricated by the fanbase, but some of it was probably planted to make sure people would ALWAYS talk about the Beatles, even long past the point the music lost its relevance.

There are three sticks on the yellow flowers that represent the strings of the bass. There are only THREE sticks to represent the THREE remaining Beatles. Or more likely, 4 or 6 strings wouldn't fit. Also, notice that the yellow flowers spell out 'PAUL?'; questioning Paul's existance.Can't find this. The doll on the right of the cover (in the white, black, and red stripes) has a small white car, with a blood red interior, on her lap. This is a model of the car that Paul died in.It also says welcome the rolling stones. Perhaps it symbolises Paul was killed by a rockslide. Direcly below the doll's left foot is a white vase with yellow flowers in it. If you look closely it resembles a car plummeting over a cliff with flames coming out of the back end. Which backs my rockslide theory. Below the 'T' in Beatles is a statue of the Hindu God Shiva 'The Destroyer.' Its hand points directly to Paul.On the highest res screenshot I can find, this looks like a stretch. Notice The Beatles standing behind the drum in the center of the photo. They are standing sideways except for Paul who is facing directly forward. John, Ringo, and George look *three dimensional* while Paul looks like one of the cardboard cutouts. Partial truth, at best. Paul is the only one holding a black instrument. Black is associated with death. This may seem insignificant now, but it turns up a few more times. So any Beatle who wears black is dead. Gotcha. This is the first occasion where we see an open palm above Paul McCartney's head. There are many different theories as to what this signifies. It is generally taken to mean either that the person under the open palm will soon die or has recently passed away. As you will see, this turns up quite a few times.They don't even know the meaning. Assumption. Take a small mirror, or the bottom of a CD will work, and place it perpendicular to the center of the drum, so that you split 'LONELY HEARTS' in half. Now read the combined writing on the drum and the mirror. It says 1 ONE 1 X HE | DIE. '1 ONE 1' equals three, another reference to three Beatles. The 'X' crosses out Paul because he is no longer alive. And the arrow between 'He' and 'Die' points directly to Paul.Shouldn't the X be in the same sequence as he appears? Like, say, rearrangeing Paul so he's on the far right? In fact, I bet they could even work another conspiracy clue out of that, because he's off to their left, actors exit stage left, and that means he's dead. In fact, I think he killed Tupac, too. What about the vertical line? It's not really an arrow, but more a diamond. Perhaps that means something. Lucy in the skies! OMG! TOO COINCIDENTAL TO BE COINCIDENCE! Perhaps diamond is a way of indicating he was killed by a rockslide, as my prior theory indicates. I believe 1 one 1 X He Died means he died at 1:11. As it is a diamond, I would imagine this is a symbol for stars, so it was at night.

While we're at it, I don't know where my copy of Sgt Peppers is, but I do believe Paul's the only one carrying a woodwind instrument. This is very significant as wood is symbolic of life. However, he's pointing it at his heart, nidicating that he is not alive, as this is how you kill a vampire, who is undead.

The plants are growing around a drum, so I'm pretty sure it was Ringo who died, anyway.

"I told you about the Walrus and me - man. We are as close as can be - man. Well here's another CLUE for you all, the WALRUS was PAUL"
John tells us the Walrus on the cover of the Magical Mystery Tour was Paul.

...Or, you know, he learned the story which he took the "I am the Walrus" line from in the first place was a tale in which the Walrus was not a good guy.

But it makes far more sense to assume otherwise.

Which makes Paul a bad guy, and only furthers conspiracy.

My take on it is that there is far too many things for it all to just be a coincidence. Although a lot of it was just people looking way too deep into things.

I really don't know exactly what to believe but I can't just say "meh, coincidence". It is more than that but some of the clues are laughable.

Definitely B and then perhaps the Beatles played around with it just to get kicks out of all the conspiracy theorists.

The beauty is, it doesn't have to be coincidence.

When people look hard enough for something like this, they will find it.

Sure, you can argue that every theory with this much "evidence" can't just be coincidence, but that ignores the fact that this is not coincidence. It's things taken out of context, others totally made up, and many many wild assumptions to manufacture a theory.

Someone did this deliberately, but I'd bet it was the fans.

Exactly, like that whole Judas Priest 'Do it' thing when you play the album backwards.

Heck, if you play another bites the dust it sounds like it's fun to smoke marjuana

Led Zepplin. The whole song is another good example. And unlike Rev 9, it's pretty consistant. Rev 9 requires you to extract only specific elements from both the backwards and forward, disregard the rest, and then heavily interpret.

I'm not saying that Lennon didn't put elements in to be listened to backwards and forwards, as the whole point of the song was to be a musical experience, unlike any other. Most of these elements are a stretch at best, though.

Rev 9 backwards also sounds like it references suicide. Now I know, if I looked hard enough, I could find suicide lyrics in the Beatles. Hell, I could use some of the same ones they did. Yesterday? Oh, so easy there.
