The Walrus And The Circle Of Death

The image of 'The Walrus' is a Scandinavian death symbol

made famous by John Lennon's references to it in several songs

written between l967 and l970.

What has made Lennon's interpretations so mysterious and confusing is this,

he originally referred to himself as 'The Walrus' in the l967 composition

"I Am The Walrus".

But in another song released in l968 entitled "Glass Onion" he specifically said:

"I told you 'bout the walrus and me, man.

Don't you know that we're as close as can be man.

Well here's another clue for you all. The walrus was Paul."

People have always interpreted these words to imply that Paul, the bass player

of The Beatles, was the walrus.

But the statement "the walrus was Paul" could also have meant that

someone else who had also been the bass player of The Beatles

was THE WALRUS!

Did you know that there were originally five Beatles, not four...

The fifth and often forgotten Beatle was named Stuart Sutcliffe...

He was the original bass player of the Beatles.

Paul (who originally played guitar) only became the next bass player

after Stu left the band in l960.

Did you know it was Stu Sutcliffe

(along with his girlfriend Astrid Kircherr)

who came up with both the name 'The Beatles'

and the unique hair style which would be the trademark

of their revolutionary image.

The founding member of The Beatles (John Lennon) and Stu Sutcliffe were close...

very close... best friends as a matter of fact...

So if I told you that Stu once convinced John that he had the unique ability

to see into the future...

Wouldn't you find that strange...

If I told you, that despite strong opposition from John,

Stu chose to leave the Beatles

on DECEMBER 9, l960 and never saw John again...

Wouldn't you also find that very strange, since exactly 20 years later

the headlines in almost every newspaper in the world on the very same date

of DECEMBER 9, l980 would read:

"JOHN LENNON SHOT TO DEATH!

Consider this...

Shortly after leaving the band, Stu would mysteriously die on April 10, l962.

Years later the very person who had taken his place as the bass player of the

Beatles, Paul McCartney, would also be rumored to be 'a dead man'.

People would accuse John Lennon of starting this hoax

and perpetrating the mystery by placing subtle clues and messages

throughout his songs and all over The Beatles album covers...

Shortly after the energy of this entire death scandal

surrounding Paul had subsided,

Paul would ironically announce that he was leaving The Beatles!

AND, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,

THAT ANNOUNCEMENT WOULD ACTUALLY COME

ON THE PRECISE ANNIVERSARY OF STU'S DEATH,

A P R I L   1 0 , l 9 7 0 !

Could this bazaar coincidence between Paul's departure from The Beatles

and Stu's tragic death explain the mystery behind all of those rumored clues

and evidence about Paul being 'a dead man' ...

If Paul was supposed to be 'A' dead man...

(as in 'A' specific dead person other than himself)

then those words could now have two distinctly different meanings!

Maybe they were never intended to imply that Paul himself was dead.

Perhaps they were intended to say

that the bass player for The Beatles (Paul McCartney)

once was Stu Sutcliffe (now a dead man)...

...and that Stu's date of death would prophecize

the date that Paul McCartney would one day chose to bring about

the death of 'The Beatles' (as a band) * ( see footnote )

Could Stuart Sutcliffe possibly have seen into the future

and known all of this before his own perfectly timed demise in l962.

Could a single human brain be capable of such incredible prophecy...

If so, surely no human being could actually manipulate

the circumstances of their own life and death

to fit so precisely into the events of the future...

Or could they...

The title song of The Beatles final album 'Let It Be'

reached number one on APRIL 11, l970...

the very day after Paul had announced that he had left the band!

'Let It Be' is a song about Paul being visited and comforted

by a spirit from beyond the grave.

Ironically, John Lennon last went to visit Stu in Germany on APRIL 11, l962!

It was the first time he and The Beatles had traveled to see his best friend

since Stu had left the band in December of l960.

So while we happen to be on the topic of spirits from beyond the grave...

Is it also a coincidence that Stu suddenly died of cerebral paralysis...

(his brain was expanding, literally growing too large for his skull)...

THE VERY NIGHT BEFORE JOHN ARRIVED!

Is that what provoked John to address his audience

and make the following remarks on the evening of April 11, l962,

while on stage for the first time since hearing of his best friends abrupt death

earlier in the day:

"Stuart Sutcliffe was a very special human being...

and a remarkable man.

He once told me that he had the ability to see into the future...

and I for one now believe that Stu was telling the truth!"

If Stuart had indeed traveled a distant road into the future and back into

the day of his death, then the title of The Beatles final single release

would lend itself completely to the puzzle.

'The Long And Winding Road' was the final song

to ever hold a number one position for The Beatles.

It is a song distinctly about someone being led back into the past and

'a pool of tears, crying for the day'.

It's final week at number one would be

the very week that one Stuart Sutcliffe was born June 23rd, 1970.

Do you see the pattern here?

The first song released from their final album reaches number one,

the week Stu died.

The last song ever released by the band has it's final week at number one,

the week Stu was born.

Stuart leaves John and The Beatles,

on the very day after John will be pronounced dead.

John and The Beatles return to Stuart,

on the very day after Stuart has been pronounced dead.

AND THE BEATLES CEASE TO EXIST ONCE AND FOR ALL

ON THE VERY DATE THAT STUART SUTCLIFFE DIED !

( F o o t n o t e )

Perhaps all of the death clues surrounding Paul McCartney

were also intended to say that Paul would be intrinsically connected

to both the past and the future foreshadowing of death throughout his life...

consider the following examples:

Who could have known that Paul's own lovely wife Linda would one day die

on the precise date that Paul had chosen

to release his very first solo album in l970.

That album was simply called 'McCartney'

Which is very appropriate since the very first song on that record was entitled...

'THE LOVELY LINDA!'

If that seems hard to fathom, consider this...

Paul had deceived everyone and stated that he was in California

preparing Linda's funeral arrangements so as to protect the privacy

of the actual location where she would ultimately be laid to rest, Tucson Arizona.

And ironically, the final song on the Beatles very last record

(which was released almost simultaneously with McCartney's first solo album!)

begins by telling someone to "Get back to where you once belonged"

AFTER LEAVING TUCSON ARIZONA FOR CALIFORNIA!

And Lastly dear reader, I must insist on leaving you with

the following precise numerology chart of the word 'Paul'

A P R I L   1 0 T H

THE PRECISE DEATH DATE OF ONE STUART SUTCLIFFE

(THE EXACT DATE THAT PAUL WILL ANNOUNCE

HE IS LEAVING THE BEATLES)

IS WRITTEN INTO THE VERY SPELLING OF THE WORD 'PAUL'
