In regards to the pictures, they look the same to me, and eye brows can be arched and shaped in a variety of ways.
However, what have the parents said? Has anyone talked to the parents of who people say is the real Paul and asked them if the guy claiming to be Paul is there son? If they are not alive has anyone asked other close familiy members? Moreover, where is the grave for the guy who was said to have died in a wreak?

Okay me as a standard non-famous person has about ooh a dozen or so immediate cousins, lots of aunties and uncles, and my parents. I have brothers and sisters and lots and lots of friends...
If i was to become famous and then die and be replaced, if NONE of my friends or family noticed then there is something wrong.
What a load of rubbish.
What about the imposter. 'Hey man you look like Paul Mcartney, how about you go and replace him'.
'sure... but oh erm won't somebody notice? My girlfriend or my parents or brother'
'erm....'

Not thought through very well!
...actually, I would contend that if you did that you would be robbing from the rest of us by using the amenities and facilities that we pay for through our taxes.

Yes the two pics you've posted look different when viewed in the manner you posted them, but the pic on the left appears to look different because he may be holding his head at a different position. To my eyes, the positions of their heads are not exactly the same.
And who is Getsmart? I hit the link you posted and he/she said they couldn't talk about PID on ATS.

... Perhaps the most famous political decoy, soldier M.E. Clifton James successfully impersonated General Bernard Montgomery ("Monty") for intelligence purposes during World War II.[7] In 1940, James acted in an Army production called When Knights Were Bold and his photograph appeared in an Army newspaper with a remark about how much he resembled General Montgomery. As a result, he was approached by actor David Niven in May 1944. Niven, then a Colonel in the Army Kinematograph Section, told James he was wanted to impersonate "Monty", as this would allow Montgomery to be somewhere else, so confusing the Germans. James had to learn Montgomery's gestures, mannerisms, gait and voice and had to give up smoking. Because James had lost his right-hand middle finger in the First World War, a realistic replacement was made. Even his wife had to be deceived and was both kept in the dark and sent back to Leicester. Once he was trained, his trip as "Monty" was to Gibraltar and from there to Algiers. "Monty's" presence succeeded in confusing the Germans in regard to the invasion plans...

Of course, they noticed. Have you ever considered that *maybe* they can't talk about it?

So if your brother was in a band and suddenly he dies. YOU are told he is going to be replaced by an imposter.
You wouldn't talk about it?
I didn't know record labels had that much power, you know power of family emotions.
Don't you think for a second, somebody would have slipped up by now?

How else do you explain the song Helter Skelter written by Paul in '68.
...McCartney (sic) then "wrote 'Helter Skelter' to be the most raucous vocal, the loudest drums, et cetera" and said he was "using the symbol of a helter skelter as a ride from the top to the bottom—the rise and fall of the Roman Empire—and this was the fall, the demise."[1]...
en.wikipedia.org...(song)
Aiwass is the name of the being who dictated The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema, to Aleister Crowley on April 8, 9, and 10th in 1904...
Crowley considered to be the central deity within the Thelemic cosmology...
Crowley went to great pains to argue that Aiwass was an objectively separate being from himself, possessing far more knowledge than he or any other human could possibly have. As Crowley writes in his Confessions: "I was bound to admit that Aiwass had shown a knowledge of the Cabbala immeasurably superior to my own"[3] and "We are forced to conclude that the author of The Book of the Law is an intelligence both alien and superior to myself, yet acquainted with my inmost secrets; and, most important point of all, that this intelligence is discarnate."[4] ...
In The Law is for All,[5] he goes on at length in comparison to various other deities and spiritual concepts, but most especially to The Fool. For example, he writes of Aiwass: "In his absolute innocence and ignorance he is The Fool; he is the Saviour, being the Son who shall trample on the crocodiles and tigers, and avenge his father Osiris. Thus we see him as the Great Fool of Celtic legend, the Pure Fool of Act I of Parsifal, and, generally speaking, the insane person whose words have always been taken for oracles." ...

I don't know that much, .
You don't know anything, if you believe the Paul is Dead stuff.
I fell in love with the Beatles when I was about8, after going through my dads records and landing on Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. I was soon taught all the Paul is dead stuff and it may well have been that which gave me my life long interest in mysteries and the unexplained.
Anyway, I was 10 at the time. I was also not one to read one side of a story (even though my mind tells me how unlikely it would be) and fall for it hook, line and sinker without completely questioning it and looking for other interpretations. It seems that you have done the above.
I urge you to read the history about where this idea came from and look through it properly before, in your own words, forming your own conclusion.
I'll give you a hint though. Paul is the same Paul who met John at the Quarrymen concert, mid 1957. He didn't die, he wasn't replaced by a Scot called William Campbell who had previously won a Paul look'a'like comp (though he did win that) and for the most part, the clues you think are on the sleeves and in the songs, are simply coincidence, or (like the phone number) people having an idea of what they are looking for, before fitting the pieces around it.
That said, the Beatles did mischievously add a few clues when the heard about the big debate which had started in America.
And as for the OP. Well, it isn't even worth commenting on!
