    Don't know anything about a black beard guy, but on SGT PEPPER'S album cover theres a man called Alaistair Crowley, the baldy fella at the back on the left.

    Crowley was a known occultist/satanist, also known as the beast, he used to ride goats and just as he blew his load would slit their throat's, lovely fella.

    The album cover art, by English pop artist Peter Blake, depicts the band posing in front of a collage of their favourite celebrities, and has been widely acclaimed and imitated.

    If you want to talk about the Beatles theres a few things you should look into:

    Beatles Conspiracy: Did They Cover Up Paul's 1966 Death?


    Beatles Backmasking

    Now your crazy;)

    the way I see it there have always been two schools of thought on the merits of a one world government. these divisions occured in many groups even the Beatles

    on the one hand you had the hippie movement espousing Peace love and harmony in a socialist paradise where everyone is free and equal, we would have a democratically elected single government which would eliminate War and work for global harmonisation of resoursce allocation.

    judging by some of his works, Imagine and Working class hero being good examples, John Lennon was most certainly a disciple of this school

    the other movement is the Fascist movement where a single government controls and regulates every movement of the citizen for the greater good of the state, resoursce allocation here is done in the interest of the Corporations and an ever increasing cycle of Production and Consumption where everyone Must work to survive

    Judging by some of his Later works http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2011/07/thomas_the_imperialist_tank_engine.html Ringo Star could well be an agent for this school

    The Sgt. Peppers album cover has so many famous faces, why single out Crowley?

    There is also a great one about how Paul died in a car crash and an imposter has been playing the part of Paul since then! now thats good and crazy!

    Lennon had a very hippy outlook, the song Imagine is a very good example of that,
    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people living for today

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people living life in peace

    You, you may say
    I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
    I hope some day you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people sharing all the world

    You, you may say
    I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
    I hope some day you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

    Pretty clear its about peace and love, all the world coming together, forget religious difference, racial difference etc, we are all on the same planet, we are all the same species, arms around the world and all that.

    Not as entertaining as seeing a guy get paid hundred of millions to pretend to be Paul Mcartney I know.

    Now I cant be so sure about Sir Paul

    But I think Lennon was one of the good guys

    Because the old order of fighting and killing and countries and religions is working out just fine isn't it? Lennon was singing about world peace and a world without war. What is wrong with that?

    John certainly seemed to have been the most 'damaged' of the Beatles psychologically and to have had the least stable early life (father deserted family, mother gave him to his aunt to pursue her own agenda as an 'entertainer', reconciled with mother aged 17, mother killed by drunk off-duty policeman, father re-appears when Beatles famous, John disappointed with him, pays him off and moves him on, etc).

    This cycle of disappointment, loss and signs of despair and depression seemed to dog John's life (he looked to the workshop in India with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to lift him out of his depression after Brian Epstein's death (suicide ?) and when the Indian experiment failed, he turned to heroin when back in the UK)

    John constantly craved a better life, a better world, a better deal for 'the masses' some kind cross between a spiritual Nirvana and a global Socialist republic, Utopiah in other words.

    His state of mind is often reflected in his lyrics and melodies, which are darker and more sombre generally that the 'collaborations' with McCartney and for me John's voice was gruffer, more bluesey and sad than Paul who then had an almost perfect pop voice.

    Was he involved in some NWO drive? I don't know that he was but he certainly craved a new world order (caps deliberately left out) and he wanted 'things' generally to be different. For me that's what 'Imagine' has always been about, wistful, wishing, honest and almost a meditation.

    I miss him every day and take solace in the fact that at least his time with Yoko Ono and his kids was as happy as he had ever been on earth.

    Sir Henry Cotton died in 1987 but was knighted in 1988 :p

    He had accepted the knighthood prior to his death and it was effective from the day he died.

    Somewhere behind Paul's right shoulder is a full-size head-shot of Adolf Hitler another rather well-known occultist. Not visible on the album cover, I have a few pictures of Peter Blake assembling the collage of life-size portraits . stand-ups and "Hitler" is clearly visible.

    That Wiki article is far from accurate. The collage was not of the Beatle's
    "favourite celebrities", far from it as it contained not only Hitler, but Fatty Arbuckle, Oscar Wilde ( one of John's favourite authors ) and others who had caused revulsion and raised the hackles of "good society" during their lifetimes and afterwards.

    Also included are Tom Nix, Sigmund Freud (the world's first coke dealer and the man who created the first coke addict) a handful of philosophers and other luminaries, not quite the sort of Big Brother contestants Wikipedia seems to imply.

    I'll dig out one of my books later and have a look at Peter Blake's Beatle brief, which understandably became a bit of a movable feast
