A GREAT PSYOP

 Some psyops are all too obvious, and while it can still be fun to expose the more obvious ones from time to time, and they can certainly be a good introduction to psyops for newcomers to the world of false narratives we live in, they are really not very challenging.

I often use "the moon landings" as a prime example of these sort of stories - once widely believed, but now quite widely disbelieved, the sci-fi narratives of "moon landings" and "space travel" just fall to bits with even the most basic investigation. 

At the opposite end of the spectrum I would put The Beatles. While I do think they too are a psyop, I also appreciate that they did produce a vast catalogue of often quite amazing music.


Back in July, I re-posted this fascinating article about the Beatles and theTavistock Institute and as is often the way when researching this subject, it makes some really valid points that do fully check out, but it also spouts some utter crap that doesn't.

And that is why The Beatles are such a fascinating psyop to research. I think they are a genuinely complex story, that combines some of the most advanced psychological manipulations ever carried out by the deep state, with real musical talent, personality, and creatively. 

Even amongst the most advanced and devious intelligence agencies in the world, to successfully put it all together like this was a one off.

I sometimes say that the "alternative" media is every bit as fake as the "mainstream" media, and I like to use "Alex Jones" (Bill Hicks) as the most obvious example of that. Like the moon landing story, I think the Alex Jones story just falls to bits as soon as you start looking into it.

To me, The Beatles story is nothing like that, because not only did they put out a huge body of music, they also did so much that was really original, and if there is one thing that intelligence agencies are not well known for, it's artistic creativity. 

On the one hand, the story that the original left handed Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in 1966, and was replaced by a right handed look alike in 1967, really does check out, and I did a post about all that here


But on the other hand, somebody did create all that music. If the Tavistock Institute with their nearly unlimited budget could just assemble the best musicians and churn out music like a production line, why did it only fully work with The Beatles?. 
 
Personally I think there is a much more obvious case to be made that The Rolling Stones were at least partly a deep state creation. But to me The Stones never had the creativity of The Beatles, and apart from some stand out tracks in the late 60's, I think they became repetitive and boring.
 
So despite not being a real Beatles fan, this story keeps pulling me back in. I'm 100% sure there were devious intelligence agency manipulations being carried out, but the lines were really blurred. 
 
No way these two photos are of the same guy: 
 

But this song from 1966, so still with the original Paul McCartney, is really good:  The Beatles - Rain  - it's my favourite Beatles song and it was clearly a massive influence on dozens of bands over the next half century.
