Some Unknown and Amazing Facts About the Beatles

Looking a back on the accomplishments of the Beatles one could say it was fantastic for their time, but their continued popularity to this day attests to their hard earned admiration of fans past as well as present. To be able to comprehend what they did in terms of record breaking achievements, let’s have a look:

• In only 8 years the Beatles had 21 chart topping hits more than any other recording artists.
• Of the top 10 popular songs of the 20^th Century 5 of those are by the Beatles as a band or as solo recording artists.
• Between 2021 and 2023 recording sales for the Beatles rose from the unapproachable all-time sales record of 600,000 units worldwide to 800, 000 units a 200, 000 thousand unit increase in just 2 years!
• The Beatles have the all-time sales record for the initial one week release of an LP. That was the Album entitled “1” in the year 2000, a rerelease of all 21 top hits throughout their career which introduced them to a completely new audience who even today find their music relevant and entertaining. In one week the Album 1 sold 3.3 million copies far exceeding bands like INXS or Fleetwood Mac.

George Martin the EMI producer for the Beatles was once asked if allegations that the Beatles were just front men for his own musical genius he laughed and stated that although it would be quite flattering if this had been true that it was truly the innovativeness of “The Boys” as he affectionately referred to them. While in the recording studio the Beatles experimented with new technical effects, sped up and slowed down tape recording for unique sounds, and many times against EMI engineering standards, took control of the engineering themselves.

Artistic control

Had Capitol Records had their way, the Beatles would have ended up as a superficial boy band with the record company using only their vocals and adding session musicians for background music, much like the Monkeys were handled in the US, completely engineered hit making without a soul,  but the Beatles resisted. They wanted to record their own songs, play their own instruments, and have artistic control over their sound. This would prove to be the very essence of their memorable work. Besides, Capitol Records were completely wrong when they predicted that guitar bands were on their way out! The precision guitar work of the Beatles was yet another trademark of their songs.

Intelligent composition

Not only was Beatle music beloved for its harmonies and infectious musical content, but as time went on they injected social commentary into their lyrics which made many sociological analysts worry about the impact of the Beatle’s music on a generation of minds. Often weekend talk shows would address the latest release of a Beatle song such as “Revolution” and analyze the lyrical content worried that the Beatles might incite some kind of rebellious reaction, but that was not their prerogative and their fans were generally not radical.

Fine tuning masterpieces

From George Martin’s clever string arrangements, even playing an excellent harpsichord solo in John Lennon’s Song entitled “In My Life” to the Beatles own choices of orchestral accompaniment as in the song “She’s Leaving Home” from the album “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band” their constant desire to enhance the sound and dynamics of their music was evident. Paul brought in a harp musician, a young woman, who as called in suddenly, and almost couldn’t make the recording session because she had an early morning arrangement the next day. Paul wrote the musical chart for her to follow.

Converting loss to inspiration

The Beatles drew upon personal experiences to be the inspiration of their songs that came from personal hardship to deep introspection. John Lennon lost his mother at an early age and was abandoned by his father as a baby. This made him an agnostic. These events had a profound effect upon him personally and even in his song writing. Underground rock and roller Lou Reed said he generally dismissed the Beatles, but when John Lennon’s first solo album came out with the song entitled “Mother”, Lou considered it to be one of the best songs ever written in the history of music. John sings about how his parents left him. George Harrison one proclaimed that John was a pain in the ass, but he loved him anyway.

From a dream

Paul like John, lost his mother at an early age and explained that during the making of the album “Let it Be” he was having some problems emotionally, but his deceased mother came to him in a dream and Paul found inspiration in that. Many people think in the song “Let it Be” Paul was referring to “Mother Mary” as the virgin saint of Catholicism. During the making of that LP John considered his best lyrical work to be in the song he wrote, “Across the Universe”. Drummer, Richard Starkey, who was already a star when the Beatles invited him into the band over Pete Best suffered from chronic illnesses growing up and had to reinvent himself in order to rise to the occasion and succeed as being a rock’n’roll drummer and singer.

Their talents complimented each other

Ringo had little interest in doing drum solos even though at times the rest of the Beatles begged him to do one, yet his signature drum style was a major part of many of their songs. George Harrison became known for his creative lead guitar style and was partially influenced by the Sitar lessons he took from Ravi Shankar, the guru of the Beatles at one time. In the movie “Let it Be” a release of hundreds of hours of studio recording footage George Harrison sings the beginning of a huge hit he will later release on his first 2 record solo album “All Things Must Pass” but McCartney seems disinterested. George actually quit the Beatles before being asked to come back for their legendary rooftop performance not long before thy broke up.

A future that never happened

Even though in 1976 John Lennon, in an interview, said that the Beatles would never re-unite and play for money again while Paul was recording a Wings LP in New Orleans the two considered recording some songs together. Art Garfunkel recalls comically how John took him aside during a get together at the Dakota Apartment in New York that when he heard Paul Simon and Art were going to get back together he had a question. Art recalls that John asked him what it was like getting back together with his Paul because John was thinking about recording with his Paul (McCartney) again. Which is quite funny. Art reassured John that if he and Paul had such a good time working with each other that this would come back and their chemistry would flow once again. Sadly, Lennon died of five 38 caliber bullets to the chest from the revolver of Mark David Chapman in 1980 before John and Paul could collaborate. Amazingly President Obama granted a pardon to a cold blooded murderer, Chapman in 2010, a travesty of justice!

Thinking of their fans first

Few people realize that one of the most pivotal transition period LP’s for the Beatles “Rubber Soul” was recorded in just one month as Capitol Records were pushing the Beatles for a Christmas season album to hit the market. Being exhausted from touring and previous long hours in the studio, somehow they made a great effort to complete the album in that short time frame and the rest is history.

The music still lives on

Once the Beatles all went into very successful solo careers they all played as guest musicians on each other’s albums with the exception of John playing on any of Paul’s records. A few Beatle songs were resurrected. These songs were written and partially recorded by John Lennon before his death. Making arrangements with Yoko, Paul took four songs that were fully accompanied by Paul, George, and Ringo, one of these songs receiving an MTV annual best video award “Free as a Bird” in 1995. The Beatles still have another song scheduled for release this year which once again is a partially completed John Lennon song that Chat GPT constructed from using john Lennon’s voice and replicating it to finish the song, a complex engineering feat by human recording technicians much lass an artificially intelligent program.

Who Made You Bleed?

Who Made You Bleed?

You brought your wounds with you like a ball and chain

So you have to make sure I suffered your pain

What my Dear was there to gain?

Making the world just a little more insane,

I don’t know who made you bleed

Oh how you carry around that poison seed

Perhaps it was just your creed

Weren’t you the one who agreed?

After all was said and done you lied

And a part of me forever died

Was I just supposed to let that slide?

Perhaps in the future true love will be denied,

You brought that anger along with you

Corrupting everything that was true

Just couldn’t help yourself could you?

I would have been better off drowning in a sea of blue,

Seems that my feelings are now all askew

The meaning of love almost hidden from view

I’m afraid of objects shiny and brand new

All those things I thought  I once knew,

There’s a lesson here we all should know

Human nature can become the lowest of lows

It works against seeds of love that we sow

Just as surely as the wind will blow,

A broken heart is beauty that has been forbidden

An expression of love that was frivolously hidden

Tenderness that will go unwritten

Making a man regret that he was ever smitten.

The De-Intellectualization of America

The success of two Democrat administrations in recent years of practically destroying America and being allowed to get away with crimes that would put you and I in prison for years can be attributed to expunging of critical thinking throughout the land. The American public in general has allowed themselves to be lied to by the mainstream media, they have ignored blatant evidence presented to their faces, they have allowed themselves to be corralled like livestock during the planned Covid 19 crisis, and the effects upon the Republic may be irreversible. Obama and Biden have practically laid waste to this country with a compliant audience of low information voters.

Checkmate

We are at a crossroads where the opportunity to expose the corruption deep inside Washington DC lies within grasp, but the checkmate on part of the Democrats is that they hold a majority of appointees in the Justice Department which commands and controls the FBI as their attack dog against the opposition. Outright Democrat criminals are not being prosecuted! That Americans seem to have a hard time comprehending that their own nation is being rapidly compromised from within seems to be a problem! This is not just from cognitive dissonance and apathy, but it suggests a long process of literal de-intellectualism that has been so pervasive that large sectors of the American population have been neutralized from fighting the corruption because they have blindly accepted it.

Brainwashing starts early

For too long parents assumed that the best interests for their children were being exercised in the classroom while the federal government was just interjecting America hating content, sexual perversion, and a lack of intellectually challenging curriculum for growing adults. Even when the kids were smart enough to overcome this still you can give a student the facts, but if you haven’t taught them how to think and use those facts you still have not defeated the adversity. In a new generation of video game obsessed, cell phone dependent, vanity seeking young pupils, facts get washed away and feelings become the priority. If you take away history and teaching the great heritage of a country those in the classroom have no point of reference or pride in their nation.

Programmed to fail

Pledging allegiance to the flag, documentaries on the price that has been paid for the freedom that these “Drama Queens” “Self Worshippers” have been conditioned to overlook, has bred a new generation of those ignorant of history and the lessons it teaches. When you have colleges who have courses on TV soap operas and allowing hate mongering radical groups to speak on campus, you’re stirring a witch’s brew of discontent and lack of appreciation for the great sacrifices made by generations before that require that same kind of commitment today. This negative ideological programming de-intellectualizes the recipient and sets them up for failure as patriotic citizens. Lawlessness, disrespect, racism, and social unrest will result!

Because the group thinks that way

School age kids today know more about Batman than they do our Founding Fathers and why American exceptionalism is so important. How does the destruction of a civil society achieve success? By destroying critical thought in general, using mediocrity as a standard to live by, destroying innovation, stamping out individual encouragement to excel. John Dewey figures prominently in progressive education. His influence can be felt today as he led the movement to use the classroom to shape student’s minds by allowing the state to interject a political undercurrent in the classroom that emphasized socialist philosophy and consensus or group think. We see it today all over the college campuses with students who immediately blame the Republican Party for everything wrong out of sheer ignorance and political orientation that has been programmed into them by successive years of dumbed down classroom teaching.

Programmed but not thinking

The media, Democrat Party, and classroom have taught them to hate President Trump without so much as any acknowledgement of the favorable way his policies made America prosperous and energy independent. Instead, feed them rhetoric, repeated talking points, and false narratives and you have a generation of programmed de-intellectualized electronic game addicts, who can’t function without their cell phones. Politically, they will be easily pushed into supporting an adverse, nation destroying state of rationalization. You have just started the beginning of the end for the society you have targeted!

No, I won’t Let Go

Memories of the past as cold as new fallen snow

But I’m not letting go not letting go

The mistakes and triumphs that haunt your soul

Those events that wounded you and took their toll,

They say forget the past and move on

I’m just trying not to repeat the past or be a pawn

Still the voices call me at the gates of dawn

Those wars that left lines on the map redrawn,

Those sins and good deeds so long gone

As the impatient ones urge you to move along

Hey! This is my song, my personal song

Those who can easily forget what they did wrong,

The past becomes the teacher if you bother

Whether you were a mother or a father

No saints among us sometimes we were improper

Give thanks you’re not living in squalor,

I won’t let go, no I won’t let glow

Those moments of love that left me aglow

The seed of the past that we all sow

The victories and defeats just so you’ll know,

All those treasures put aside so long ago

No I’m not letting go, not letting go

Sometimes life seems like a stage show

Meaningless bromides like, “Go with the flow,”

I’m not letting go, no I’m not letting go

No matter how bitter the pill to swallow

I had my dreams though I sometimes feel hollow

Some of us choose to lead while others follow.

How To Take Down The US With Open Borders

Recently startling revelations have been uncovered thanks to Mike Adams and Michael Yon, a former elite soldier now a combat journalist who has been reporting on the twisted agenda by the Biden White House threatening America! There is a huge industry created by the treasonous neglect by the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies who have abandoned defense of the US southern border. Billions has spent on paying so called non-profit refugee assistance organizations who build housing, provide medical help, and food for these unvetted and undocumented illegal aliens. The myth of so many helpless women and children is a fantasy created by the Democrats and the mainstream media to make the massive influx of illegal alien enlistment aged men seem less threatening.

The unthinkable unleashed

The truth is there is no incentive to enforce the protection of the US border as so many people are profiting from allowing this undeclared invasion to continue. There are US retailers now flooding their employee ranks with illegal woman, children, and teenagers as low pay scale workers. By all known facts the Biden Administration is planning on allowing 40 thousand illegals into our nation each month. However, there is something more sinister brewing. There are huge camps being supplied and maintained in Panama. Along the Darian Gap cutting through the mountainous jungles of Panama are a string of large camps where enlistment aged men are being held and prepared for relocation in the United States. According to Michael Yon not only is Communist China involved is this development but they are sending 100 to 200 spies across the US border each month. China had been discovered operating a secret base in Cuba with plans for more joint military exercises with Cuba.

Using our forces to aid and abet the enemy?

According to Michael Yon who made contact with a female US Army General our own military is air lifting supplies to these large para military encampments in Panama. How could American personnel participate in operations that violate US sovereignty and national security? Is this not treason? The nightmare continues. Near the city of Houston, Texas a 25 thousand acre tract of land has been reserved as a colony of illegal immigrants-the Panama encampment males who are awaiting mobilization. This land is owned by a Texas millionaire who has just made another purchase of an additional 35 thousand acres adjacent to the smaller intended colony that will accommodate even more of these para military groups who will be transported into the region.

Conspiracy theory? Yeah sure!

Now, do you think this is some kind of paranoid conspiracy theory? The Biden Administration has already opened the borders and allowed the fentanyl outbreak to blossom. They have helped the drug cartel and the human trafficking enterprise to become billionaire operations while they now have control of the southern border. Is that not hard to believe, and you ask how could the covert massing of a foreign invasion become anymore surprising? The truth is that apparently all factions involved could care less as they are all profiting at the expense of national security and, in all likelihood, a coming civil war staged by Manchurian Candidate Joe Biden who is a foreign agent for the Communist Chinese, but more likely by his shadow cabinet of America hating advisors! Alejandro Mayorkas, the inept, lying, Secretary of Homeland Security, has already visited at least two of the staging encampments in Panama. This thanks to the testimony of Michael Yon!

Support network for the trespassers

If this is not disturbing enough, according to Michael Yon, detailed maps, contact information, a script to use when encountering the border patrol, even a rape kit for all the women, daughters, and girls who will be attacked on the way to the US border, and other important information to help these illegal aliens to successfully find weaknesses in border security where crossing is more likely to succeed! This highly coordinated network, well-funded network is dedicated to make the invasion of America an unopposable plan!

Devil in the details

How does this all play out? China, international terrorists used as mercenaries already in place as moles, spies, and the perhaps millions of para military males transported from Panama will become a major disruption and urban warfare inside the US. There are weapon systems coming across the border such as missiles. There are police uniforms to be worn by militant operatives to create more havoc. What is the ultimate plan for here?

Probable scenario

China invades Taiwan as US armed forces command and control structure is rendered into confusion by a civil war at home. Taiwan falls and China gains control of the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the threshold to the rest of the South Pacific. The US Navy and combined forces are driven off, and China gains control of half of the world’s commercial shipping lanes. This makes it quite convenient for the Chinese to assist all efforts at making the ongoing civil war in the US more perilous for Americans who will be attacked, starved, tortured, captured, and liquidated. Law enforcement will be degraded due to the urban warfare and orchestrated confusion, and a Communist style overthrow of the US will have been achieved! What these bastards aren’t taking into account will be the devastation of the world economy and probably starvation of millions upon millions of people as the supply shortage unfolds.

The Federal Government About to Turn on US Citizens Importing Foreign Troops to Attack We The People!

The US Government funding occupational armies from Panama who will be relocated to the US to cause an overthrow and murder of US citizens!

This is a Public Service Announcement!

The 13 Original Colonies What Condition are They in Now?

The first colonies of the new America to be ratified as states were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. What has become of these first pioneering territories of what would become the United States of America? How would they turn out politically? How would these states conduct themselves in relation to the US Constitution? The sad realization is that they are firmly within the grasp of the Democrat party plague!

Where history was made

Although many historic events took place in the 13 colonies from the Paul Revere’s midnight ride to the battles at Concord and Lexington. From the famous Liberty Bell to the Continental Congressional Declaration of Independence, these pivotal events shaped the coming history of a fast growing America. Yet, what state of affairs have these first 13 Colonial establishments evolved into? You would think that the Legacy left by our Founding Fathers would have been deeply embedded in the republic, but something happened with the passage of time and the corruption of federal and state government.

Ideological sabotage

Progressivism, Marxism, Communism, Statism, Collectivism, or Socialism, whatever you want to label it has infested these early states where liberty and freedom were thought to begin. Propaganda has somehow slipped into the consciousness of Americans through failure of the public schools, the flawed ideology of a corrupt NEA (National Education Association) who has set policy for taxpayer funded public schools. In 2010 the NEA chose to celebrate the Birthday of Mao Zedong, the dictator of Communist China responsible for 60 million deaths in the Cultural Revolution of Red China that isolated the country from western influence and used an iron fist to force the masses to comply with Mao’s rule.

A formally great city

If one cares to walk the streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania one might want to be armed as it appears to be something out of a third world country. Homeless people on drugs, trash all over the streets, store fronts abandoned or burned out, all this as the police refuse to do anything. One might recall that in Boston, Massachusetts during the annual marathon, an explosion that wounded more than 200 people occurred committed by the Tsarnaev Brothers using pressure cooker bombs causing mass confusion and terror among those in the crowd, but what were the puzzling aspects of the bombing. Why when the FBI was warned by Russian intelligence about the two brothers was no action taken? Why were there several FEMA actors among the crowd? Why was one Boston PD officer reprimanded for releasing photos of one of the Tsarnaev brothers to the general public mad that Rolling Stone Magazine had tried to paint a more innocent appearing image of an Islamic bomber responsible for 250 people injured and 3 killed! It seems the law enforcement authorities in the 13 Colonies have been compromised. Why when the Tsarnaev brothers were suspected of killing three men in Florida in another bombing, not apprehended by the FBI in Boston before the marathon?

The effects of false narratives

The state of Delaware is the home of President Joe Biden, man who has enriched himself at the expense of the taxpayer for more than 50 years, making no significant contributions to legislation, and having so much evidence of crime that he had committed along with several family members who have also benefited from the millions they have received from doing business with Communist China, one must wonder how Biden was ever elected in the first place. It seems that the unthinkable has manifested in our original 13 colonies, and there seems no excuse for it other than the general demoralization that is the end result of successful leftist propaganda that has poisoned the intellectual atmosphere of these states. One might recall Sandy Hook Elementary, the scene of an alleged mass shooting full of suspect stories and action of people that don’t make a lot of sense. The killer is an autism sufferer who somehow has access to firearms? A father who is laughing and joking with some people when is asked to step in front of the cameras where he suddenly puffs himself up into a fake crying act advocating gun control. It turns out that he is part of a FEMA actor family? The onsite coroner who supposedly saw the gruesome scene of children shot to death by an autistic teen who breaks out into a crazy laugh as he’s interviewed by reporters? All this while conflicting reports of what weapons were used and found in the suspect’s car? Once again are we dealing with another Machiavellian event by authorities?

Summation

Throughout the original 13 Colonies we have seen the statues of great historic American statesman and military leaders removed from public display, many in the dead of night, some disfigured with graffiti, and Confederate Generals as in Washington DC itself have been removed from the nation’s capital as Democrat congressional leaders stupidly kneel to the BLM propaganda campaigning. You would think that in the very foundational history of America that some reverence and respect for the work of our Founding Fathers would have been persevered, but instead, what seems to be rampant federal government agency corruption has deeply infected the annals of those who were supposed to be servants of the people. These days are surely the darkest that have ever been in the declining Constitutional Republic as Mark Levin says, “The post constitutional era.” Why? Because all this came about not from an invading foreign army, but by those we entrusted to govern this nation as well as the unelected bureaucrats who are unprosecuted traitors!

Wouldn’t Let it Be

We could have had happiness and compatibility

Casting the sadness of the past into the sea

Love is the only thing in life that’s free

But you wouldn’t let it be, you wouldn’t let it be,

Investing way too many years

Living so close to all your fears

Convicted by a jury of your peers

Enduring all your frowns and your sneers,

Not your blame game just reality

Without your sanctimony or frailty

For one time just a little humility

But you wouldn’t let it be, you wouldn’t let it be,

Trying to pull away from the past

The happy life doesn’t always last

You can fly your flag at half mast

Just look at that shadow that you cast,

Upon the lives of all you’ve touched

Wish I didn’t remember it so much

What a waste of time in as such

Always playing the victim you’re favorite crutch,

Why couldn’t you ever just be free?

No, don’t wave that gun at me

Try a little sympathy and a cup of tea

But you wouldn’t let it be, you wouldn’t let it be,

I will just try and move on

There’ll will always be a new dawn

There are spirits out dancing on my lawn

I’ll succeed despite all the lies you’ve spawned.

Knowing What’s True

Drifting along but nothing’s going on

No reason to sing along

Just another day has gone

Feeling like I don’t belong,

The shadows of illusions play

Casting darkness where I lay

There are all kinds of secrets at play

Remaining mysterious each day,

There’s an unwritten law in reality

Depending on your brain chemistry

We all have personal tragedies

Everyone groping for the keys,

On the threshold of a shadow land

Events stirred by an invisible hand

Like a space probe unmanned

Like all free thought being banned,

Coming to this world whether or not it was planned

No instrumentality was scanned

All artistic ambitions canned

Green glass transformed from sand,

Why do I awake deep in the night?

Full of anxiety it’s just not right

Oh the adrenalized flight or fight

And the world succumbs to some new fright,

Be careful of the door you’ve just passed through

For there’s only one of you

Personal plans easily go askew

Trick is to know for sure what’s true.
