Mark Staycer fakes being fake John Lennon

John Lennon liked to fuck with us. He was not a liberal or a peacenik, he was not wicked smart or deep. But he did have a crafty sense of theater about him. He knew how cool we thought he was, and handled that aspect of his public personality very well. He never let on who or what he really was.

The movie Let Him Be, which I have here, is a typical Lennon tease. The premise of the movie is that a young Lennon fan (who looks enough like Lennon to be his son) stumbles on a discarded recording showing an older John Lennon alive. He then searches for Lennon in an area north of Toronto where the tape was discovered. He finds a man who looks and sounds like Lennon, but is in the end disappointed. His girlfriend discovers that the Lennon-lookalike does not have bullet wound scars in his back. Therefore, not Lennon.

That’s a nice tease, as it plays with the idea that Lennon was really shot. But what if he wasn’t? I am so inured now the fake death that I imagine he had left New York that day, and viewed news coverage of his death from a safe hiding place and cracked jokes about it.  They can fake death on TV very easily, as people imagine that everything they see on the news is true.

Mark Staycer

Typical of Lennon, Let Him Be is a switch inside a switch. We are led to believe that a man named Mark Staycer, a Lennon impersonator, is the star of the movie, and that they have fitted him with a face mask to look like him. But deep down, we are to suspect Mark Staycer is John Lennon dressed down so as NOT to look like Lennon.

As I said, Lennon does like to fuck with us. Mark Staycer is not Lennon. He’s misdirection. But there is in the movie a man who look and sounds an awful lot like John Lennon. His name in the movie is Noel Snow, but he is really John Lennon. Yes, Lennon too faked his death. (And no, he was not on the Space Shuttle Challenger that day either.)

But it was difficult to get a straight on shot of Lennon in the movie, as they went to great lengths to camouflage him. There’s nothing useful on the Internet. So I went to the movie, and took a picture of our TV screen as Lennon was singing, behind a large microphone of course. See below the fold for the results.

Oops … too late!

It is amazing … I don’t listen to or watch any news, don’t take a newspaper, and yet by 7AM I knew of the latest fake* event in Dallas.

On my way to the gym, a radio sportscaster solemnly lamented that his job shrinks in importance to that of the real fake news people who report these fake events so faithfully.

Then I got on a treadmill and the on-board TV (before I could turn it off) showed cops hiding behind cars, moving from place to place, the usual fake event nonsense. (If cops have to hide behind cars, why is the guy holding the camera not hiding too?)

So folks, please, until you are given incontrovertible evidence, assume Dallas** is fake.
_________________

This just in … the event has been reported on television news. I am too late. People have already swallowed whole even before I sat down here to write.

* Until shown otherwise
** This comes quickly on the heels of Orlando, which was badly botched by the actors. Is its purpose to replace Orlando from our collective consciousness?

What the future holds …

In the coming weeks this blog is going to have some revelations, some shocking, about people who supposedly died who are still with us. The first one will be the hardest, as the lengths that they have gone to in convincing us that John Denver died are extensive. I won’t have a smoking gun there, just a compilation of evidence, but lack of total certainty.  We are only missing a body, a plane, and witnesses. You can judge for yourself.

Perhaps before moving forward on this stuff however, it might help if readers understood the concept of fake death. I don’t quite grasp it myself even as I know it is common. I see in the music business that a dead musician’s collection of work is worth 20X  what it was when he was alive. Elvis, John Lennon, Denver, and recently Prince and David Bowie were probably economically motivated fake deaths. (John Lennon’s death had an added bonus of killing hope, as he was also publicly playing the part of a left-wing leader.)

Others have differing purposes, I suppose. John Belushi, it appears, merely wanted a quiet life, perhaps Robin Williams too. We should respect that decision. Fame can be a hard life. River Phoenix is still around, and I assume Heath Ledger as well. Since they fake-died at young ages, we should look for them in new cloaking.

It is the death and reappearance as someone else phenomenon that I am most curious about. I cannot pretend to understand it, but Bill Hicks (now Alex Jones) and Phil Hartman (Glenn Beck) seem to behave as employees being reassigned from one task to another. I don’t imagine they had the sway or power to decide for themselves to fake die, undergo plastic surgery, and reappear as right-wing icons. That means that in their original careers they were recruited, hired, assigned a certain part, and assured that fame would come to them if they played along.

And this is what is troublesome. It indicates that our celebrity culture is far more manipulated and contrived than we imagine. I know that in music our tastes are not our own idea, but rather given to us for us to imagine we stumbled upon. Apparently the same social phenomenon is at work in acting, comedy, and as we shall see, even political discourse done via TV and movies.

Is it all fake? Probably. I assume that Tom Cruise is gay, for instance, and all his marriages have been beards. I assume the same thing about Brad Pitt and Clooney as well. Bradgelina’s kids are surely hired actors. Are those two merely public beards for an incubator system for future stars? I would assume most famous marriages are fake, even Ellen and Porsha, that they are assigned partners in public and each night go home to separate lovers and homes. Is it like Caitlyn … all for show? Most likely.

That is celebrity culture, but the movement of people who have fake died into political punditry speaks of higher involvement and planning of our daily lives. I don’t for a second believe we have anything vaguely resembling an open society and free exchange of ideas, but prior to discovery of the true origins of Jones and Beck, I never imagined how contrived it all is. On the “other” side of that spectrum, I would imagine Thom Hartmann, for instance, is in real life a right-winger assigned the role of lefty talk show host. Controlled opposition is key. That is full spectrum dominance, even as narrow as our allowed spectrum is.

More fun ahead here. In looking over the blog roll, I see that it is tedious and predictable partisan politics and hashing out and misinterpretation of major staged  “events.” Here it is going to be more fun. I have, for instance, a list of 60 or more “dead” rock stars from the late sixties and seventies whom I assume were either merely retired to desk jobs or obscurity without pay, but perhaps a few of them have been re-purposes to other high-profile gigs.

Stay tuned.

A day in the Colorado Rockies

imageWe’ve been off mountain climbing … At our age, merely walking up trails that lead to mountain tops, called “walk-ups.” We did Mt. Bierstadt today, which at 14,060 qualifies as a “fourteener. I am beat.

Now, if you take this photo and pull up Microsoft Paint, you should be able to merge it with another, crop half the face, and reveal my dark secret: I am Larry David.

I did, however, want to highlight a comment I liked from below from Tyrone – you can tell as he writes that his mind is moving faster than his fingers, and he is dumping ideas as fast as the fingers allow. I found this comment [about the Jim Morrison post below] fascinating.

“Following just the nose in Google images, Sexy Jim seems consistent but Mountain Jim just vibes as another guy, a different actor for a different role, even though the character’s name is the same- I should have thought of this earlier, but the Jim in the Riders on the Storm film is probably just an actor cast for that film- Looking at some of the TV appearances (Sullivan, etc.) there are no shots of the band and the audience together (didn’t watch them all) suggesting their performances were at an earlier date, and probably where there is an edit or dissolve, your looking at a jigsaw of alternate takes with the sound mix carefully synced to the edits to hide them – Lip syncing’s no crime, happens all the time when on a weekly time budget, but one can’t assess whether they could actually play- The chaos at the live events helped mask their suspect musicianship- In the end, these guys were The Monkees without the laffs- A pre-packaged product to sell decadence, like The Stones, but west-coast style- And a prep for the Manson mishigas that brought the whole house down-
PS- It’s a hilarious notion but Rush is too young to have been any incarnation of the twenty something Jim from the 60’s- Rush as Jim may be an attempt to soften the conviction of the Hicks/Jones makeover-“

The strange saga of Morrison and Courson

Pamela_Courson
See “fair use” discussion at Wiki

Connected to Jim Morrison, for whom we have no autopsy, body or official death record, add Pamela Courson. She too disappeared just like Jim, without records at the age of 27.

Pamela was born in 1946, and like Jim was in a Military family. (Jim’s dad was the commander of the fleet in the Gulf of Tonkin when that non-event happened.) She was with Jim in France when he died, and inherited his considerable estate, much to Jim’s parents’ chagrin. There followed, according to Wikipedia, court cases.

Pamela, like Jim, does not turn up in the Social Security Death Index, nor are there any other “Pamela Courson’s” who have ever lived or died on record there. SSDI is not the final word on anything – for that we would need a coroner’s report, toxicology, and autopsy. Of course, none of that exists either.

At this stage in my meanderings in this murky world of mysterious death and disappearance, I am going to put Pamela on a list I am calling “BSE,” for “became someone else.” She might even be reading this blog post. I am pretty sure she did not die.

The Laurel Canyon massacre

Speaking of fake events, I’ve been devoting my spare time lately to a little research project having to do with Dave McGowan’s book, Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, subtitled Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark heart of the Hippie Dream. Dave missed as much as he caught. This could be either because his was groundbreaking first generation work, or because he was doing a “limited hangout” (diligently exposing what is already known while hiding the important stuff). If the latter, then his own untimely death is suspicious.

I am, of course, a product of that era, and formed many impressions and attitudes in  the period 1965-75, aka “the sixties.” I was deeply curious about what went on behind the scenes, but that is fan magazine stuff. Before the book I had eagerly read all of Dave’s stuff on his website, since taken down by his son. I had also read about The Wrecking Crew, but without understanding that their role was vital – they were the actual musicians of the era. Most of the groups were mediocre, even Monkees-style fakes. (A few genuinely talented musicians emerged from that era, but only a few.)

Dave was approached by a publisher to write a book to expand on his Laurel Canyon work, and that too is suspicious, as true groundbreaking work does not usually find money backing in this land. The publishing houses, along with the news networks, are long compromised. Bill O’Reilly has people with outstretched hands pushing his tripe, his Killing Whoever series, but true scholarship backed by sweat and hard evidence finds no avenue to the public.

In part, my efforts gained fuel by my own discovery (which had already been exposed by others) that Bill Hicks had faked his death and reemerged as Alex Jones. Hicks was an actor playing a role, and when one gig was up, he was given another. Eventually he will replace the aging Rush Limbaugh, himself a suspicious character.

I did not realize when I first read Laurel Canyon that the Manson/Tate massacre was a fake event, the object to destroy opposition to the Vietnam War. Sharon Tate’s dad was an intelligence agent, and was active at that time. Dave gives that important fact one line in the book. Whoosh!

Of course, the implications of Manson being a fake, and his “Family” being intelligence agents on assignment, are staggering. Most people cannot handle it, and stop the thought processes there. This far, no further!

So I set out to re-read Weird Scenes with two objectives – to better understand those musicians and actors with parents in the Intelligence business … Morrison, Crosby, Stills, Nash, Zappa, Phillips, Browne, Nicholson,* Fonda, Fonda, Deutschendorf Jr.,  Joplin, Baez others. I also wanted a list of untimely deaths. There were far too many suicides, motorcycle accidents, murders and drug overdoses.

In real life any chosen group of a hundred will experience maybe a couple of premature deaths. Members of this Laurel Canyon group were dropping like Indians in a bad western. The meme is that music is a high-charged drug-laced business where people routinely die off. But if that were true, members of The Wrecking Crew should have been dying off too. After all, they were real and talented musicians. They all survived.

It is the related deaths, coupled with the Bill Hicks discovery, that puts me where I am today, with a list of 88 names of people who died young and suspiciously. Where I go with it I do not know. I started over the weekend with a trip to the Social Security Death Index. Armed with date and place of birth and death along with full (or real) name for each of the 88, I searched for an official record of their passing.

Eight were foreign nationals. SSDI is a tool used by the Social Security Administration to prevent fraud in that system. It does not list non-Americans.

Another three were simply unsearchable – not enough data.

That left 77. I started with Jim Morrison (not listed), Frank Zappa (no), John Phillips (no), Sharon Tate (no), Ron Launuis (no), John Denver (no), Cass Elliot (no) … was I even doing this right? Surely I just didn’t know how to use this tool!

Then I got a positive hit. Jimi Hendrix died in London. He turned up. It took me a while to grasp that my access point to SSDI, the free Macavo site, is a compilation of sources, SSDI being only one. Hendrix is listed under BillionGraves, where only grave markers are shown. I realized that even with Hendrix, I still did not have a positive hit. A grave is not a death record. Graves are easily faked. I still had nothing on Hendrix.

In the end, confident my methodology was accurate, I found that of the 77,  17 turned up on SSDI. 60 did not. And of the 17, seven are suspicious for reasons I will cover later. But for sake of introduction, I have 60 undocumented deaths.

I will continue on this project, as I am just beginning to refine my insight on the whole Laurel Canyon Scene, which was part of either (or both) CIA’s Operation Chaos and FBI’s Cointelpro. Those were  spook operations designed to infiltrate and undermine the antiwar movement of that time.

But my first insight: I am looking at possibly 60  – even more fake deaths than Orlando!

The American public long ago lost any capacity for critical thought and skeptical analysis, if ever it existed. Consequently we are the easiest people to fool on the planet, and possibly in human history.

Nonetheless, I urge that you withhold judgment on the latest mass spectacle/TV show, the Orlando affair, and refuse to jump to conclusions or be easily persuaded. Wait for evidence, do not believe people just because they are on TV and talking.

Oops. Too late.

“40 shots, 50 dead, 53 injured- Do the meth… Orlando is indeed the hoax du jour.”

Americans are good at meth, but not math. Commenter makes a subtle point.

Never a Straight Answer

A commenter down below, regarding the $238 million dollar moon buggy, expressed dismay that he had taken specialized training in space flight, and done calculations that involved shaving a few ounces here and there to allow certain objects to be taken off the planet at escape velocity. Then …

…the idea that they’d send a moon-jeep up there, just for the “astronauts” to ride around in for the T.V. cameras is hysterical. I looked at the photo above and just started laughing.

And to think: I believed all that crap for decades…

There is no harm in being fooled, as long as we don’t stay fooled. Perhaps 80% of us were fooled by the Apollo program. Yes, you read correctly … maybe 20% of the American public did not buy the story back in the 70s. Most prominently doubting was our African-American population. They were not bought in to our mindset in general, and so had less problem seeing through the veil of deception.

I should link that, since I am going on memory, but no one follows links.* Just understand that a magazine of some prominence did a survey back then and reported those findings. I am too lazy this morning to do my homework.

And anyway, the commenter did study on escape velocity and the basic math involved, and that has practical application, as we did send spacecraft into low-earth orbit back then … and now. It was not wasted effort.

NASA is a military organization disguised as civilian. Their job, from the beginning, is to act as a front behind which massive taxpayer funds are siphoned into secret military programs. JFK was an active participant in the hoax.

Understand that everything about NASA is a lie of some sort. These days NASA is said to be privatizing. This too would be a lie, then. More likely NASA is going one level deeper in deception, now hiding its weapons program behind private contractors who cannot be scrutinized by prying public eyes. Apparently the growing public awareness of the moon hoax has taken its toll, and is forcing them deeper underground.

Among the companies said to be involved in private space travel is once called Scaled Composites, operating in the Mojave Desert. It is a subsidiary of Northrop Grummon.

Think about it: R&D to send billionaires on feather-in-cap space journeys – no value! Boondoggle! It makes no sense. It is a waste of resources.

It is a cover story, nothing more. The secret weapons program continues now behind a new curtain. It makes as much sense as sending a buggy Willys Jeep to the moon so astronauts can have a joy ride.

We need to learn to ask basic questions, and never accept pat answers. With NASA, it’s mouth in motion, assume the lie.

For instance, quite a lot is publicized about journeys to the International Space Station. Question for NASA: Does such a thing even exist? Or are you pulling our collective legs once again? I put nothing past you.

Wagging the Moondoggie

The post below operates on the assumption that the reader understands that the moon landings were a hoax. But I don’t really know that about my readers, in fact I suspect many cling tenaciously to the lie. So I want to address two aspects of the lie – first, allowing yourself to doubt, and second, debunking sites that protect the lie to this day, almost 47 years from the first fake landing.

article-0-063396B8000005DC-918_468x409While the late Dave McGowan was working on his Laurel Canyon series, his wife sent him an article about how a supposed moon rock that the U.S. had gifted to the Dutch turned out to be petrified wood. It caused a lot of embarrassment. McGowan, never one put off by what people might think of him, decided to take a detour and wrote a series called Wagging the Moondoggie. It was up on the Internet at one time, but since his death his son has taken down all of his writings with a promise they will reappear someday with some spit and polish on them. Fortunately, I made pdf copies last summer when I heard Dave was ill. This is from his opening paper:

And yet, despite the fact that [Apollo] was a relatively benign lie, there is a tremendous reluctance among the American people to let go of the notion that we sent men to the Moon. There are a couple of reasons for that, one of them being that there is a romanticized notion that those were great years – years when one was proud to be an American. And in this day and age, people need that kind of romanticized nostalgia to cling to.

But that is not the main reason that people cling so tenaciously, often even angrily, to what is essentially the adult version of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. What primarily motivates them is fear. But it is not the lie itself that scares people; it is what that lie says about the world around us and how it really functions. For if NASA was able to pull off such an outrageous hoax before the entire world, and then keep that lie in place for four decades, what does that say about the control of the information we receive? What does that say about the media, and the scientific community, and the educational community, and all the other institutions we depend on to tell us the truth? What does that say about the very nature of the world we live in?

That is what scares the hell out of people and prevents them from even considering the possibility that they could have been so thoroughly duped. It’s not being lied to about the Moon landings that people have a problem with, it is the realization that comes with that revelation: if they could lie about that, they could lie about anything.

Indeed, that is the basis for fear, and indeed they have lied about everything. Am I jumping too far ahead of you there? Would you rather I take it one lie at a time? OK.

And, by the way, I disagree with Dave that this lie is “benign.” It was used to divert billions of dollars into other secret programs, most involving weaponry, some of which might well have been put on demonstration on 9/11 – pure speculation, but something turned those buildings to dust. Everything is connected to everything else. The Apollo hoax was a most contemptuous affair, a sign that even at that time we had already lost control of our own government. And there were murders committed on the way.

In another paper (there are 14) he mentions, once he took the dive, how easy it was to judge that the program was a hoax. This has been my experience. All you have to do is look at the evidence. It is kind of a no-brainer, to the point where I have to think that if you have looked at the evidence and still believe Apollo was real, you might be cognitively impaired.

(The rest of this piece was re-posted as “debunking sites” above.)

 

The panic trains always run on time

Zika is a hoax, as I’ve written before. But I suppose it would help the reader to know what hoaxes are easy to spot. General rule: anything that is trumped up in our American mass media is, on some level, a hoax. The media does not depict reality – it invents it. It is and has always been state controlled. Or better stated, oligarchy-controlled, since the state is controlled by the oligarchy.

So the question is why the hoax? One reason is that we are always to be worried about one thing or another, afraid, injecting ourselves with vaccines that do nothing unless they harm us … so that is part of it. After Zika, there will be another scare. PhRMA is part of the medical cartel, and money is its aim, not health.

But there is also the Olympics to be held in Brazil this summer. Hundreds of thousands of people will be traveling there. The hoax being centered on that country has the added advantage of spreading fear all over the world.

Two questions you might ask: What about medical experts who make public pronouncements about Zika – are they lying? Yes. Why? If they don’t, they are no longer “medical experts,” lose their position and income, and fade away.

The other, what about microcephaly, or shrunken brains? How does that come about? Back in 1993, when they called it “pygmyism,” they said the cause was malnutrition. Here’s Noam Chomsky, from that year:

“Brazil is far and away the most important country in Latin America, firmly under US control since 1945, when it became a ‘testing area for modern scientific methods of industrial development’ applied by US experts…It is a country with enormous resources that should be the ‘Colossus of the South,’ ranking alongside the ‘Colossus of the North,’ as predicted early in the century. It has had no foreign enemies, and benefited not only from careful US tutelage but also from substantial investment. It therefore shows with great clarity just what the US can achieve in ‘enlarging the free community of market democracies’ under conditions that are near ideal.”

“The successes are real enough. Brazil has enjoyed a very high growth rate, which conferred enormous wealth on everyone except its population – apart from the top few percent, who live at the standards of the wealthiest Westerners. It is a sharply two-tiered society. Much of the population live at a level reminiscent of Central Africa…the UN Report on Human Development ranked this rich and privileged country in 80th place, alongside of Albania and Paraguay. In the northeast, Brazilian medical researchers describe a new subspecies: ‘pygmies,’ with 40% [actually 60%] the brain capacity of humans, thanks to severe malnutrition in a region with fertile lands, owned by large plantations that produce export crops in accord with the doctrines preached by their expert advisers. Hundreds of thousands of children die of starvation every year in this success story, which also wins world prizes for child slavery and murder of street children – in some cases for export of organs for transplant, according to respected Brazilian sources.”

So they took a condition already known to exist, but among the lower classes and so not important, and elevated it to epidemic status. They did this in order to spread fear. It makes us easier to govern.

Again, Zika will fade like baseball players into a corn field after the panic has served its purpose. But never worry, another contagion arrive will shortly after.The trains do run on time in our country.
