"St. Paul": Terry Knight revealed Paul McCartney was dead

Terry Knight and Grand Funk Railroad

In May 1969, before the "Paul is dead" rumor started in earnest in October (in USA), Terry Knight had a minor hit with a song called "St. Paul." The song seemed to hint that Paul McCartney was dead. Andru J. Reeve, author of Turn Me On, Dead Man, discovered that “Saint Paul” was not published by Knight’s publishing company, Storybook Music, which published everything else he wrote, but rather by Maclen Music, Inc.,  which only published the words and melodies of Lennon and McCartney.  

The very strange song actually came out in May 1969 - five months before the first article on the subject appeared in the campus paper at Iowa's Drake University. More mysteriously, "Saint Paul" is the only Knight composition administered by Maclen Music - McCartney and Lennon's exclusive publishing company!

Paul McCartney

Knight had met with "McCartney" in February 1969, and talked to Apple about signing him as an artist. On the flight back to New York, he allegedly wrote the song "Saint Paul."

Terry Knight - "Saint Paul"

Here is my interpretation of the lyrics:

St. Paul

[According to Christian tradition, St. Paul was beheaded in Rome around the mid-60s AD... at Tre Fontane Abbey [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_of_Tarsus]. Many of the clues suggest Paul suffered some sort of head injury. This could simply be a reference to Paul's being executed. See Was Paul McCartney murdered?]

I looked into the sky
Everything was high
Higher than it seemed to be to me

[When someone has passed on, one may look up to the sky thinking about the person's spirit form.]

Standing by the sea
Thinking I was free
Did I hear you call or was I dreaming then, St. Paul?

[People who are grieving may go to the sea to seek solace. They may also hope to communicate with someone who has passed on.]

You knew it all along
Something had gone wrong
They couldn't hear your song of sadness in the air

[They couldn't hear it because Paul had been silenced.]

While they were crying out, "beware"
Your flowers & long hair

While you & Sgt. Pepper saw the writing on the wall

[It's possible Knight thought Paul had been around for Sgt. Pepper, and didn't realize he was gone by then.]

You say you want to live your life to the future
They say they've got dues to pay today
You say it's the fool who plays it cool, Sir
And if tomorrow comes, you know, they'll all hear St. Paul say:
Let me take you down

You have a different view

[This could be a double entendre: you look different &/or you had a different opinion about how the band should be run.]

Hey there, Paul, what's new?

[Could this be a reference to a new "Paul"?]

Did Judas really talk to you

[This could be a reference to Judas' betrayal of Jesus to the Romans. Was Paul betrayed?]

or did you put us on?

[Possible reference to deceiving the world with Paul's imposter-replacement.]

I think there's something wrong
It's taking you too long
To change the world
Sir Isaac Newton said it had to fall

[This seems to be a reference to an apple. Apple was the Beatles' publishing company.]

Hey St. Paul!

You say you want to live your life to the future
They say they've got dues to pay today
You say it's the fool who plays it cool, Sir
And if tomorrow comes, you know, they'll all hear St Paul say:
I read the news today, oh boy.

You had a different view
Hey there, Paul, what's new?
Did Judas talk to you
or did you put the whole world on?
I think there's something wrong
It's taking you too long to change the world
Sir Isaac Newton told you it would fall

You didn't listen, St. Paul!

[Paul didn't listen to the warnings, and paid the ultimate price.]

Iamaphoney, creator of the legendary Paul is Dead - Rotten Apple series, says that the theme of the song is the death of Paul:

Mysteriously, Iamaphoney tells us to "find the cancelled check from Paul McCartney made out to Terry Knight."

Here is a reversal of "St. Paul." As discussed in previous posts, reversed speech can be quite revealing.

Reversed lyrics:

He will be with me.
They may hide it.
He must be with me.
They miss him.
He must be with me.
They miss him.
They hide it.
Who lives with that?Paul is dead.
Who lives with that?
Paul, miss him.
Paul, you lost your wings.
Paul is screaming.
Paul was cut. Why? (Paul is dead.)
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Please, get me out!
Who is Paul?
They bought me out. (head wrapped)
They bought me out.(miss him)
They bought me out.
Please, get me out! Please.

Unfortunately, Knight would never talk about the song. "Reeve tracked the reclusive Knight to Arizona and hammered him with letters and phone calls, but Knight wouldn't talk." [Susan Whitall, "Paul is Dead: Old Death Rumor Won't Die,"

http://beatlesnumber9.com/dead2.html]

Knight was murdered on November 1, 2004, so whatever he knew about the death of Paul McCartney died with him.

My impression is that Knight was given this song and paid to record it. It is also possible that it was commissioned to be written. That would explain why it was published by Maclen, and why there was a check made out to Knight from "McCartney." Knight may have been threatened with some dire consequences if he ever talked about the song or what he knew, considering Mal Evans and Heather Mills.

I think the Powers that Be tell us the score, not out of some sense of honor, but because they derive amusement from the fact that the sheeple never catch on, even when they are actually told the Truth.

Agents for change: Beatles, LSD, & social-engineering

"If the Beatles were really bad, we could have played Hitler's game. 
Such was our power."

~ Faul McCartney, from the Anthology

The Beatles' identities were co-opted to serve a dark agenda.

As discussed in Entertainment industry & mass manipulation, celebrities are used to sell the power that be's (TPTB) agenda. They are particularly well suited because they are popular and influential. Many people will emulate them, because they set the standard for what is "cool." It seems TPTB used the Beatles as agents for change in their social engineering efforts. In 1972, John Lennon admitted that "[c]hanging the lifestyle and appearance of youth throughout the world didn't just happen - we set out to do it. We knew what we were doing."

In 1978, [Lyndon LaRouche] wrote that "[t]he Beatles ... were a product shaped according to British Psychological Warfare Division (Tavistock) specifications, and promoted in Britain by agencies which are controlled by British intelligence..."

The views of Lyndon LaRouche and the LaRouche movement

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Views_of_Lyndon_LaRouche

... [T]he Beatles [played a] key, pivotal role in the mass social experimentation carried out by Britain's Tavistock Institute in conjunction with covert intelligence agencies like the CIA, NSA and Britain's MI5/MI6...

Lennon was murdered shortly after he gave an interview to Playboy magazine in which he blew the lid off the fact that the Beatles were part of massive experimentation in social control/engineering unleashed by Tavistock and intelligence agencies, as was the deliberate introduction of drugs like LSD into the burgeoning "counterculture" scene during the 1960s and 1970s...

...MKULTRA was divided into 149 Subprojects. One group of Subprojects involved the development and testing of mind control drugs. The goal was to identify compounds which would assist in interrogation and in the creation of amnesia. The CIA sponsored LSD research through MKULTRA. It also financed LSD conferences and books. An undated document entitled “D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LDS-25),” states “Some of the more outstanding effects are the mental confusion, helplessness, and extreme anxiety which are produced by minute doses of this substance. Based upon these reactions, its potential use in offensive psychological warfare and in interrogation is considerable. It may become one of the most important psychochemical agents.”

This is from the interview with John Lennon that was conducted shortly before he was assassinated on December 8, 1980:

PLAYBOY: "Acid?" LENNON: "Not in years... We must always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD... They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom..."

There is a question about how one might "market" a mind-control drug to the masses to where they would take such a thing willingly. In this case, a super-famous, popular rockstar would, no doubt, fill the bill. The unsuspecting fans might want to try it because it's "cool."

Paul McCartney seems to have been unsuitable for this task. He seems to have been rather reserved in his drug use. For ex., he limited himself to one prelude usually and outright refused to try heroin.

...McCartney's introduction to drugs started in Hamburg, Germany.[142] The Beatles had to play for hours, and they were often given "Prellies" (Preludin)... McCartney would usually take one... ... Help! director Dick Lester said that he overheard "two beautiful women" trying to cajole McCartney into taking heroin, but he refused...

Perhaps Paul had a moral compunction about "selling" LSD and other drugs to the kids. Perhaps he resisted being a change agent for inducting the NWO drug culture, and that's what got him eliminated. We will never know for sure, but Paul was not involved in promoting LSD use, since he was replaced by September 1966. [See Was Paul McCartney replaced in August 1966?] Obviously, his replacement, Faul, had no such moral compunction. Here he is talking about taking LSD in a June 1967 interview:

At 4:40, Dick Cavett astutely remarks that the Beatles' huge influence might have influenced people into taking drugs. George Harrison admitted that after "Paul" said he took LSD on TV, the "whole world went crazy."

CIA asset, Timothy Leary, said:

The Sgt. Pepper album... compresses the evolutionary development of musicology and much of the history of Eastern and Western sound in a new tympanic complexity. Then add psychedelic drugs. Millions of kids turned-on pharmacologically, listening to stoned-out electronic music designed specifically for the suggestible, psychedelecized nervous system by stoned-out, long-haired minstrels. This... is the most powerful brainwashing device our planet has ever known. Indeed, if you were an observer from a more highly evolved planet wondering how to change human psychology and human cultural development ..., would you not inevitably combine electrical energies from outside with biochemical catalysts inside to accomplish your mutation?"

Dr. Timothy Leary, from his "Thank God For the Beatles" essay http://www.dread.net/~finder/beatles/leary.html

LSD, then, was a psycho-chemical, psychological warfare agent, which was used as a "brain-washing device" in combination with psychedelic music. Inducing mental confusion and helplessness in people makes them easier to control and manipulate. The hippie music fans became too busy turning on, tuning in, and dropping out to effectively resist TPTB's other agendas, such as expanding the war machine in Southeast Asia. The anti-war movement was thus rendered impotent.

Our task is to put the PID pieces of the puzzle together...
