The Memoirs of Billy Shears



The memoirs of Billy shears Is a biography written by William Shepherd (Billy), the character who took over Paul McCartney's role after his death in 1966. 

It is written as fiction, so as to avoid any transgressions of the nondisclosure agreement signed 53 years ago. However, William Shepherd a.k.a. Billy shears sheep shears get it? Yah... He documents enough evidence to support his claim there fore any reasonable person, would be unable to deny. The obvious proof that the book is for real is that it makes use of Beatles lyrics, and this can only be achieved with the permission of Apple Corps (A Paul Corp) geddit...

I can't say I believe all the explanations in the book as to the reason for the death of Paul M... for example, the explanation for the insertion of a double, the acquiescence of Lennon to William Shepherd's demand, and many other examples.

The book has been encoded by a 32° Mason called Thomas E. You Harriet. This means it has exactly 66 chapters, 666 pages and has three layers of communication. The first is that the book is written like any ordinary Book read from left to right first to last page. The next layer of encoding is the bolded it out letters on each page which form another level of communication although often it's a more succinct presentation of the larger book. The last level of encoding is called acrostical. This means that every other line begins with a letter and it is these combined letters that form words and sentences that explain other secrets in the book.

As I have stated previously, the first time I heard about the Paul McCartney conspiracy I looked into it and rejected it as fantastic. However, over the years I have researched it in more depth and concluded that in the main it really did happen.

I have no desire to discuss this book with anyone who hasn't read it, as the reading, is really the basis for a concrete discussion.

Finders Keepers - A Documentary





Finders keepers is a terrific little documentary, set in the southern parts of the United States. It's the kind of film that Hollywood would ordinarily cast Billy Bob Thornton in, and which he excels at.

Instead of Hollywood, it's a grounded documentary about the influence of the media on very normal people. Well, I say ordinary people but these characters are the kind of people who are simple but also very complex.

It would be easy to critique these homely people and the effect that a concentrated media presence had upon them. However, it was the appearance on a TV show that lead to one of the protagonists finally seeking help for his alcohol and drug addictions.

It's also a documentary about ownership and possession, and how in some respects we don't own things, because its things that end up owning us. In the end everything works out for the better, though not without many tears, pain and heartbreak. 

The greatest learning from this documentary is that sometimes ill intentioned people can be a catalyst for our own growth and this is a learning and mindset we should carry with us each day.

There is a loser in this movie, but only because he doesn't recognise the lesson delivered to him for what it is.
