Via photo-shop Billy & Paul are able to bridge the
wide gap of many decades to be brought together.
And again below, they have both

"come together...unnaturally"
Here I liked to explain my reasons for creating this blog, but first let me state that I have no axe to grind nor do I have any personal agenda with regards to the person who has played the role of James Paul McCartney for the last 57+years (a period which is more than double the length that James Paul McCartney's was seen in public) as I was a mere 7 years old at the time when the Beatles decided to call it quits, I have virtually no memory of them when they were still considered to be the world's most famous pop/rock group.
When one considers just how long the replacement has been playing his part as one of the world's most famous singer-songwriter, and in virtue of that fact, around two thirds of all internet pictures of McCartney are actually of his replacement, then it shouldn't come as a surprise that the substitute's face would naturally be the more recognizable of the two "McCartneys". However, this is an aspect that the majority of Beatles/McCartney fans seemed to have overlooked. Why might that be?
One possible explanation for it may be found in the below statement made by Wilson Brian Key PhD, who was an author of several books on the subject of subliminal messages and advertising. He once stated the following...
"It is quite possible that societies, much like individuals, collectively repress information, concepts and ideas which would otherwise produce high levels of anxiety if dealt with consciously"
Cognitive dissonance is claimed to be even more pervasive in today's societies than it has been in the past. It is defined as the following...
When a person (or group of people) know that something is wrong but choose, consciously or unconsciously, not to see or recognise it. It is a defense mechanism whereby people avoid acknowledging that there is a problem or something is not as it should be.
Which basically mirrors what Wilson Key stated.
All that said, now getting back to why I have bothered to make this blog. The whole story about Paul McCartney dying and being replaced can be used as a kind of analogy or maybe a subplot. It is merely a microcosm of much of the news which we are exposed to today via mass media and alternative media. Meaning that what we are told and shown by such organisations is often not what really happened, or sometimes never even occurred at all.
Whoever the group, or whatever the organization is that was responsible for replacing James Paul McCartney with a substitute, who, when you study him, doesn't look close enough to the original to be accepted without question as that person, were successful in pulling off such an unbelievably audacious deception, especially when considering just how much the Beatles were in the main spotlight at that time, it begs the question...what other charades and machinations could "they" have also gotten away with in the intervening decades since those long ago swinging sixties?
It's more than likely that these days many things we see, via the various forms of media, may not be exactly...or at all, what they appear to be!
Please bear that in mind, while you read on...
