Sorry, but it's not a "clincher." We've already discussed how freckles are easy to fake either w/ photo-tampering or w/ make-up. And anyway, the freckles don't even match.

...Gabriella Carlesi adds an additional element: "Compared to the previous picture, that of Sgt Pepper's show clearly that the commessura lip, that is the line formed by the lips of the two, it was suddenly stretched. Which obviously is not possible and that the whiskers can not camouflage. In other words, the phenomenon is all too frequently these days, the lips can be inflated and increased in volume, but the width of the lip commessura can not vary that much. May be slight, but this is not the case for the photos examined: here the difference between the before and after is too strong to have been caused by any surgery. And more, always under the mustache of the McCartney Sgt Pepper's, maybe it was trying to hide something else: what the experts call it the nose-spinal or sottonasale. This is the point between the two nostrils where the nose begins to fall off the face: "This is also in this case a distinctive feature that medicine can not alter surgery. It can change the shape of the nose but not the nose-cord, "says Gabriella Carlesi. "And McCartney from the first group of photos and the second point that clearly varies.

Do our ears grow longer with age?
...They point out that since the body shrinks somewhat with age, the ears may appear to have grown longer (and larger) while actually staying the same size. So what does science say? In fact, our ears do grow longer with age. Indeed, they grow throughout our lives.
In 1990, Drs L Pelz and B Stein from Medical Branch of the University of Rostock in Germany measured the ears of 1,271 children and adolescents. They report in Padiatrie und Grenzgebiete that ear length increases "steadily and annually", but ear width remains the same....

Whew! It's really hard to keep track of this thread with all the constant emotional bickering and the dueling photo comparisons that just go on and on. Maybe I'm an exception apart from most on this thread, but I agree with faulcon that many of the photos plainly show different people claiming to be Paul McCartney. A few of the shots are so feminine, I definitely see the "Pauline" double as some have suggested. I'm not sure how many doubles there are in all the photos, two it seems, but maybe more than two. But hey, that's what I see and I know everyone has their own opinion.
Back a ways in the thread, someone was interested in my opinion of voice synthesis technology. I've known about it for years and that's what I believe they used on the faked phone calls from United 93, but that's another thread. So yeah, they can make someone's voice sound exactly like someone else and it is unknown how long this technology has been available to the intel communities. I don't know if it works for singing as well as the spoken word but I imagine it would.
I also like the PID theory earlier in the thread that they could have used Original Paul tracks (like song demo tracks they already had in the can) and built mixes around those, then they also used a voice sound-alike person in the studio to impersonate Paul's voice but we never saw that person, and in addition, they used New Paul in public appearances because his resemblance is so close and voice close enough and that would be the guy we all still see today. All of the above men would have been very talented.
I've begun to do some research on what The Beatles and others have said in interviews about how the songs were created, who wrote which parts of each song and so forth. The first one that is suspicious (meaning I think someone wasn't telling the truth about the song's origins and development) is Eleanor Rigby. I'm not going to go into the details of my suspicions here at this point, but suffice to say that song and beyond is were there are major differences in how Lennon remembers it's origin versus the recollections New Paul and others. Eleanor Rigby was reportedly recorded in April 1966.
Does anyone know if there is any reason why the switch couldn't have happened prior to the April recording sessions? Would February/March of 1966 for the switch have been too early to even consider and reasons why? I guess I'm trying to arrive at a possible date range for the switch. I'm open minded to Paul not being at any of the USA tour dates of summer '66.
This is macabre, but I am also wondering if a suicide in a car could have been staged. Blew his mind out in a car using a revolver. If a murder was staged to look like a suicide but the innermost circle believed it was suicide, then that would explain why everyone was on board instantly to cover it up and keep silent. Maybe they wanted to keep The Beatles going for not only business but artistic reasons and felt they needed to install a double as opposed to canceling the tour, splitting up the group, and calling it quits.
This isn't a theory I've decided on. but it is currently in my imagination. Suppose it was a staged suicide and the government stepped in and offered help with a double for the "good of the nation" and to prevent so many teenage girls from having mental breakdowns over it.
Just theorizing, that's all. I know everyone thinks that's absurd..."what could have driven Paul of all people to suicide? No one would have believed it." Well, that would be part of the big mystery wouldn't it?

I really have no interest in ever meeting him. It would be like meeting an Elvis impersonator. Big deal :shrug:

I guess you missed the posts where I quoted the experts findings on the ears.

Faulcons comps are usually video stills taken from low-quality youtube videos.
And you can always find a shadow or a stray of hair in them..
Let's take a good quality picture, taken from the same angle:
Guess what? ...same ear!
