(Music Mongoose) March 14, 2024: UNITED KINGDOM. "Paul is dead." Apparently, Paul McCartney is at the center of one of the greatest conspiracy theories in music history. Researchers and investigators think the original McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a double (who won a Beatles' contest for a lookalike) names William Shears Campbell (or Billy Shears). Let's examine the clues from the Abbey Road album cover, songs played in reverse, and even his ears changing shape all of a sudden after the switch.
[Actually, the original Paul McCartney did not die in a car crash and is not physically dead as such. But he is dead to fans because he chose to leave the Beatles, reverting to an ordinary life of obscurity and anonymity, with the other members in on the cover up to save their fame and careers. The others were not about to break up over him leaving music, and the record label was not going to lose all that money, so the solution was to install Campbell/Shears to carry on with the impersonation, which really paid off. Proof he's alive? One can visit his old house in England and meet him, as people have done through a street tour, talked to him, and filmed it.]
*CORRECTIONS:
McCartney was on holiday (vacation) with Mal Evans in Kenya, not Jane Asher. (Thanks @areamusicale).
Paul storming out did happen in 1966, but it was for sessions for "She Said She Said." This happened earlier in the year and is possibly what the December story is based on. (Thanks @areamusicale)
At 8:19 I should have said "9th of November" instead of "11th of November"

‘Not in my name’: The Jewish communities fighting the consensus on Israel
Members of the US’s Jewish community say they reject Israel’s authority over their name amid Bezalel[Ben = son + of Azazel = demon?] Smotrich’s Israel Day parade appearance.
NEW YORK CITY, U.S. - MAY 5th: Anti-Israeli Jews gather at a "Stop the Sale of Stolen Palestinian Land" protest against "Great Israel Real Estate" event for Palestinian land sale at the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, in NYC.
The NYPD tightened security on E. 67th and E. 68th Streets and set up a perimeter that extended for blocks around the Park East Synagogue (Selçuk Acar - Anadolu Agency).

Longstanding tensions between the US’s progressive Jewish community and the ethnic cleansing Zionist Israeli government came into focus this month, when Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other far-right Israeli legislators attended the annual Israel Day Parade in New York City.
As Smotrich, who says he is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), joined the pro-Israel procession marching down Fifth Avenue, he was met by a chorus of “shame” and “war criminals” from protesters.

Israel Day on Fifth, as the event is known, has been opposed by many in the Jewish community, keen to distance themselves from Israel. With Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza and some of its architects on parade, the June 2026 event has been particularly controversial this year.
Smotrich remained unfazed by the calls from New York’s progressive Jewish protesters and proceeded to link the community’s destiny to Israel’s, a common mantra of both Israeli and US politicians.
“This is a massive celebration – a profound connection uniting the entire global Jewish community, bringing together Jews in Israel and Jews in the United States. This shared destiny has grown significantly stronger over the past three years,” he said.
[Why is it so important for criminal Zionists to drive Jews? Zionists engage in terrorism against Ashkenazi Jews worldwide to make them the ultimate victims (even promoting distortions of WW II history concerning the sacrosanct Holocaust) and drive them to become dual-citizen Israelis, being drafted into the IDF and taxed and press to give and give more to biased organizations...why? All is in the name of building up the Zionist ethnostate, no matter how dangerous or illegal, what hasbara/propaganda they have to spread, what crimes against humanity or rape atrocities Zionists routinely commit. Ask Jews Ilan Pappe, Norm Finkelstein, Medea Benjamin, Aaron Mate, Katie Halper, Amy Goodman, Russell Dobular, Keaton Weiss...]
“The State of Israel is the home of the entire Jewish people. The security of Jews worldwide relies on the strength and security of the State of Israel. There is no better place to live than in Israel.” [Such messaging is manipulative, Zionist, and a boon to politicians and arms dealers profiting from genocide.]
New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani fulfilled his election pledge by skipping the parade, a move welcomed by some American Jewish organizations critical of the powerful far-right undercurrent in Israeli politics.
“The Israel Day Parade, which features Israeli politicians who have not only cheered on the genocide of Palestinians, but are part of the government committing that genocide, is not a celebration of Jewish identity or pride. @NYCMayor knows this. We’re grateful he is not attending,” said Israelis for Peace and Jews for Racial & Economic Justice (JFREJ).
Jewish activists in Europe and the US say they are frustrated by politicians such as Smotrich using them and their religion to justify the genocide in Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank.

They included groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace in the US and Na’amod in the UK. They say that the oppression of Palestinians is incompatible with the modern democratic values Israel claims to profess and contest the view that Israel, as a[n ethno-] state [without a constitution], should be an established fact.
Against the consensus
Emily Hilton, co-founder of Na’amod, says her critical view of Israel was formulated after its 2014 assault on Gaza, specifically the military’s killing of four Palestinian children as they played football on a beach.
“I began to question the acceptance of Zionist thought from university onwards,” Hilton told Al Jazeera.
“I’d met liberal Zionists who might question the politics of Israel, but it wasn’t until I went to University College London that I first began to meet Jews and Palestinians critical of Israel and what it meant.”
Hilton went on to join Jewish activist groups in the UK holding traditional Jewish mourning prayers for the Palestinians killed by Israel during the Great March of Return on the Gaza border in 2018.
Later, she joined a vigil after the Hamas-led [retaliation by an occupied, oppressed, civilian population with a legal right to defend itself against its criminal oppressor] on October 7th.
Israel’s subsequent War on [the starving, open-air prison, the largest in the world] Gaza has [genocided far] more than 75,000 Palestinians in Gaza and altered perceptions among some in Jewish communities across the world about their links to the country.

Chuck Schumer, calling for an end to the U.S.-Israel War on Iran and opposing U.S. weapons support, Monday, April 13, 2026, in New York (Andres Kudacki/AP Photo).
“More people are coming to realize that we’re right, Israel has lost the moral argument,” Hilton said. “Whatever claim it once had has gone. Now, it's only remaining claim is that it acts on behalf of the mainstream Jewish community, and even that is looking less certain.”
The main political threat to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu’s government, including right-wing former premier Naftali Bennett and opposition leader Yair Lapid, only argue over the degree to which apartheid and genocide should be enacted, Hilton said, and does not offer a better future for Palestinians.
“Claims that they’re acting in my name are, frankly, outrageous. It doesn’t matter whether it is the more polite apartheid advocated by Lapid and Bennett or the violence and destruction advocated by the current government, the problem is the system,” Hilton added.
“We need to imagine a life beyond Zionism; one based on justice and equality. The Israeli state is putting Jewish people in danger by claiming that we are somehow its foot soldiers. We’re not.”

(The Financial Express) Katie Phang delivered a fiery address at a U.S. Senate forum, criticizing legacy [corporate] media while discussing the Jeffrey Epstein Files and broader questions of [pedophilia and child rape] accountability.
Damn right, they're too hot. I'm the best pedo...
Her remarks reignited online debate over media credibility, transparency, and the handling of high-profile cases. The testimony quickly went viral, drawing reactions from political commentators, journalists, and social media users as fresh scrutiny surrounded the Epstein controversy and its lasting political implications.
[Trump cowered, aligned with Zionist Israel, and talked about bombing Iranian civilians and being threatened with assassination, as Israeli spies -- who have no other motive to say other than his safety -- told him Iran was hoping to assassinate him in retaliation to the illegal U.S. attacks in league with IDF war criminals.]#PedophileTrump#EpsteinFiles

(Buddha's Wisdom) Inception's hidden Buddhism: The real prison was never the "dream" (maya).
Inceptionis an American science fiction action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, who also produced it with his wife Emma Thomas.
The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious of targets.
To whom are we still hopelessly attached?
He is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased as payment for the implantation of another person's idea into a target's subconscious.
The ensemble cast includes Ellen Page [now living as Elliot Page], Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Dileep Rao, and Michael Caine. More
Buddhism in The Matrix goes deeper than most of us think (other than Wachowski Brothers). The Wachowskis built this film on Buddhist philosophy—but Neo (Keanu Reeves, who played the Buddha in Little Buddha) goes on a journey that reveals something most viewers miss: Taking the red pill isn'tenlightenment, it's just the beginning. This video explores what The Matrix gets RIGHT about Buddhism, what Neo gets WRONG about awakening, and why the ending is actually the most Buddhist part of the entire trilogy.

HOW do we get out of this prison?
We are trapped in a prison of our own making. Realizing it does NOT free us. Letting go does. But how can we let go? We can't. It isn't an act of willpower. It's by seeing things as they are. Okay, okay, that makes sense! How are they? This is not a belief-system to believe. We must go in and see kalapas and cittas, particles and mind-moments, which means we must first cultivate samadhi (stillness, absorption) to purify and intensify the instrument of seeing (the mind). Then when we really know-and-see what is there, letting go happens by itself free of effort. The mind/heart lets go when it sees all things are marked by Three Universal Characteristics.
Karma is so complex a topic that trying to fathom the "working out of karma" is something on a scale so staggering that it is considered one of the Four Imponderables in Buddhism. Only a buddha can begin to navigate the intricacies, probabilities, and intrepidities of how any deed (action) will meet its many results.
Therefore, the comic above is very funny. Of course, we do not see things working out! We are, for one thing, looking on too infinitesimally small a timescale. For another, imagine just the balls on a billiard table. They are all more or less equal, except for positioning.
One ball bangs into them, and no one can predict where they will go -- not even the one with the stick banging one into the others in a very controlled setting. Now take the countless variables associated with any single deed -- the intention behind it, the thoughts after it, the unknowable impacts on others... It's just too much.
Even the Buddha, when he looked into the future, did not give an exact date when things would happen. But he did know that when this or that sign appear, the results are coming, and that was on a grand scale of collective karma.
More importantly he knew that it was not possible for bad karma (such as the breaking of the Five Precepts) to produce a welcome result. This seems like nonsense to us because we get pleasant results from breaking them all the time.
What we don't know is that that result is not the karmic result, the vipaka. When that resultant ripens, woe. If we knew that, what we shrink back from the unskillful, the unwholesome, and the unwise courses of action, of which there are ten, the Ten Courses of Unwholesome Action.
The Four Imponderables
The acinteyya are identified in the Acintita Sutta (AN 4.77), as follows [8]. There is the:
buddha-range of buddhas [i.e., the range of powers a Buddha develops as a result of becoming a buddha];
jhana-range of one absorbed in jhanas (the meditation absorptions) [i.e., the range of powers that one may obtain while absorbed in the jhanas];
[precise working out of the] results of karma;
speculation about [the origin, etc., of] the cosmos.
These four are imponderables that ought not to be speculated about [as doing so may lead one to become unhinged and nevertheless not understand them, when the path-of-practice that is the purification of the mind/heart is here and yields insight into all these things and why they are imponderable in the first place].
NOTE: (SN 56.41 develops this speculation as the ten indeterminate).
Acinteyya literally means "that which cannot or should not be pondered or thought about, the unthinkable, the incomprehensible, the impenetrable, that which goes beyond the limits of thinking and over which therefore one should not ponder.
These Four Imponderables (unthinkables) are:
the sphere of a buddha (buddha-visaya),
the sphere of the meditative absorptions (jhāna-visaya),
the sphere of karmic-results (kamma-vipāka),
brooding over the world (loka-cintā), particularly over an absolute first beginning of it. (See A.IV.77).
SUTRA
"Therefore, O meditators, do not brood [fret, preoccupy, waste time, become distressed] over the world as to whether it is eternal or not eternal, finite or infinite (limited or endless)...
"Such brooding, O meditators, is senseless, has nothing to do with genuine good conduct (see ādibrahmacariyaka-sīla, "supreme or higher morality"), does not lead to turning away, letting go, extinction [of delusion and suffering], nor to peace, full comprehension, awakening (enlightenment), and nirvana, and so on" (S.56.41).

Ryan Routh, the man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump on Trump's West Palm Beach golf course last year, was found guilty Tuesday (Sept. 23, 2025) after a two-week trial on all five counts he faced. The jury took three hours to come to its verdict. He was forcibly removed from the courtroom in a chaotic scene, following the reading of the guilty verdict, after Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen in an apparent suicide bid.

The would-be golf assassin
My ginger assassin is so damn ugly.
Ryan Wesley Routh [a][5] (born Feb. 18, 1966) is an American who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at Trump's golf course during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Mr. Routh's motives are currently under investigation as he represents himself in court, acting as his own amateur defense attorney with a fool for a client.
Ryan Routh: self-hating ginger?
On Sept. 15, 2024, a Secret Service agent shot at least four rounds at Routh, who was allegedly hiding with an SKS-style rifle [6] in shrubbery at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He was pointing a weapon through the fence line of the golf course, 300–500 yards (250–450 meters) from Trump, who was moving between holes five and six alongside real estate investor Steve Witkoff.
Why couldn't someone take him out, Kamala?!
Routh fled the scene but was later arrested as the prime suspect [7][8]. An update given by the FBI on Sept. 16 mentioned that Routh had not fired his weapon [7][9][10] (but he could have). More
Sun Tzu wrote, “All warfare is based on deception.” You have heard many stories about the Israeli government deceiving and manipulating U.S. officials, steering our country [USA] towards funding and even fighting their [Zionist Jewish] wars.
Let me tell you one more: Israel exploits the religious beliefs of American Christians, fostering a certain flavor of fanaticism to empower a doomsday cult in a twisted effort to serve the interests of this increasingly genocidal apartheid state.
I know this, because I [Brandt Burleson] was a central useful idiot in this psyop. As the “Strategic Outreach Director” of the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest United States, I spent the last eight and a half years betraying my country [the USA] on behalf of the Israeli government, using theology [see Caesar's Messiah] as a geopolitical tool and simultaneously lost my faith in God.
Whoever he'd kill, I'll kill for Him. He's my Lord!
Premillennialdispensationalism is the Christianend-timesbelief that all true believers will be raptured away to Heaven, ushering in a seven-year tribulation period under the reign of the antichrist, where those left behind will endure unspeakable suffering before the day of judgement and an eternity trapped in Hell.
I know it sounds cartoonish, but...
Since “Israel” plays a central role in this apocalypticfantasy, adherents of this view are required to foster unconditional support for the contemporary Israeli government which they view as the manifestation of [Jewish] biblical Israel.
These adherents are in a very real sense rooting for Armageddon[the name of a place where the final battle must take place]. Beliefs can be very powerful, and it doesn’t take a genius to grasp how this belief is a national security vulnerability of biblical proportions.
One that has captured the mind of [Republican] Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) [who is funded by Zionists], U.S. [Christian] Ambassador to IsraelMike Huckabee, and countless others in our [U.S.] government.
The evidence for this capture is overwhelming and undeniable.
Ambassador Huckabee has placed a great deal of his political career in the service of this belief system and has made no secret of his views. He has said, “I think Israel has title deed to Judea and Samaria… There’s no such thing as an occupation.”
Notice the use of the Biblical term “Judea and Samaria” rather than West Bank [part of Palestine where Palestinians have been concentrated like prisoners in a camp]. More
