Every creator who steps outside the mainstream eventually gets the same batch of oddball comments and "gotcha" questions. Here are six of the ones I see most often related to my Beatles research. Thought it would be fun to answer them straight up.
1) Question/Comment: Are you a “flat earther”?
My Response:
I’m a geocentrist — that’s the term I use. I haven’t evangelized it, I don’t push it in my content, and I don’t tie it to anything else I research. The point is simple: it has zero relevance to my Beatles work.
Interestingly, Lucian Black — an avowed Luciferian — argues in his book The Soulificati: Secrets of the Soular System and Conscious Evolution that the heliocentric model, as presented to the general public, is not its true representation. He describes it as a symbolic depiction of the Luciferian concept of soul development: the soul begins its journey with Pluto in an unconscious state and then migrates through each planet, which acts as a portal of learning and conscious evolution. The ultimate goal is to reach the Sun — the “light” — which represents Lucifer, the light bearer. I found his symbolic interpretation insightful, but once again, none of this has anything to do with the evidence on the Beatles.
People throw the “Flat Earther” label around as a cheap way to avoid dealing with the actual evidence — the impossible recording timelines, the use of ghostwriters and session musicians, the Tavistock connections, the cultural engineering angle, and all the contradictions in the official story. My research on the Beatles stands or falls on its own merits: hundreds of slides, interviews, documents, and logistical impossibilities that anyone can examine. You can disagree with me on cosmology, religion, politics, or anything else and still look at the Beatles material with clear eyes. Guilt by association is lazy thinking. Address the evidence or don’t — but don’t pretend a label on one unrelated topic magically disproves the other.
2) Question/Comment: Are you Christian?
My Response:
I’m not a Christian. I’m a Deist—have been for a long time. I believe in a Creator, but I don’t follow any organized religion or holy book as literal truth.
When I point out the anti-Christian agenda pushed by certain institutions and cultural forces, I’m not preaching or recruiting for any faith. I’m simply calling balls and strikes based on observable patterns: the deliberate undermining of traditional Western/Christian values as part of broader social engineering. You can recognize that agenda without being a churchgoer. Plenty of atheists and agnostics see the same thing. This isn’t about converting anyone—it’s about understanding the playbook that’s been used to reshape society, including through projects like the Beatles.
3) Question/Comment: Are you even a musician?
My Response:
Yes, I’m a musician and songwriter. I’ve been writing and recording original music since the late 1970s. I’ve released multiple albums—Leaving Dystopia, Hollow Moon, No More Gods, compilations like A Decade of Rockers and A Decade of Blues and Ballads, and more recent projects like Yesteryear (re-recorded archival tracks) and others available on Bandcamp and streaming platforms. All the links are on my sites: sageofquay.com and laboroflovemusic.com. I’ve talked about my journey in several interviews.
The “Are you even a musician?” question is usually a deflection. A quick search on me would give them the answer, yet the question still comes up. It implies that only a working Beatles scholar or hit songwriter is allowed to notice logistical impossibilities in their recording timeline, the leap in complexity, or evidence of extensive session work. My experience as an independent artist and songwriter, including time spent in the studio, gives me practical insight into what it takes to write, arrange, rehearse, and record music—especially the kind of volume and quality the Beatles supposedly churned out in impossibly short windows.
An old DJ once told me there are only two types of music: music you like and music you don’t like. I’ve always loved that line because it’s dead right. You don’t need to like my songs to engage with the research. The two are completely separate.
4) Question/Comment: You’re just jealous of the Beatles.
My Response:
Jealous? Of what, exactly? The biggest cultural phenomenon of the 20th century? Please.
I’ve loved Beatles music my whole life — that’s precisely why I started digging deeper. What I’m really after is the truth buried under layers of mythology, session musicians, handlers, and social programming. Questioning the official narrative isn’t jealousy; it’s the opposite of hero-worship. It’s what adults are supposed to do when something doesn’t add up. If your entire worldview hinges on four lads from Liverpool single-handedly writing and playing every note while revolutionizing music in record time under impossible deadlines, then yeah, contrary evidence is going to feel threatening. But that’s on the belief system, not me.
5) Question/Comment: Your content is BS.
My Response:
If you don’t like the content, why are you here? There’s an easy fix: close the tab and go watch one of the hundreds of channels that repeat the official Beatles story. No one’s forcing you to be here.
What’s always struck me as odd is how many people who loudly proclaim that my research is BS (or nonsense) still sit through the videos, leave long comments, and keep coming back. It’s like they can’t look away. Maybe deep down some part of them knows the official tale has holes, or maybe it’s just the algorithm and human nature. Either way, my channel isn’t a democracy or a public utility. It’s for people interested in critical examination of the Beatles phenomenon, Tavistock, cultural manipulation, and related topics. If that’s not you, there are plenty of other places that will validate the mainstream narrative. Life’s too short to rage-watch things you claim to despise.
6) Question/Comment: You’re trying to damage the Beatles legacy and you should be sued.
My Response:
Let’s be real about how ridiculous the “you should be sued” idea actually is. In the United States (and most Western countries), opinions, theories, and critiques of public figures or cultural icons are protected speech. There’s no law against questioning official histories — whether it’s the Beatles, the moon landing, or the JFK assassination. For a defamation case you’d need to prove I’m knowingly spreading false statements of fact that caused real financial harm. Good luck with that. I’m not claiming the Beatles never existed or that they never wrote a song — I’m highlighting contradictions in the official timeline, the leap in musical complexity, the volume of output, and the mountain of evidence pointing to extensive session work and other hands in the studio. That’s analysis, not libel.
The irony gets even richer when people demand that “Paul McCartney” should sue me. They’re asking Billy — the guy behind The Memoirs of Billy Shears (with Tom Uharriet as the encoder/author) — to sue someone who’s been openly building upon and discussing the very replacement narrative he helped release. That’s not damaging the legacy. That’s extending the conversation.
The real issue isn’t legal — it’s emotional. Why does the official Beatles legacy mean so much to some people that a different interpretation makes them lose their minds? Take a breath. There is life beyond the Beatles.
Besides, my work isn’t going to topple anything. I may rack up millions of views, but that doesn’t equal millions of converts. The programming runs too deep. Most dedicated fans will keep the faith no matter what evidence surfaces. That’s their choice. My channel isn’t trying to “cancel” the music or erase the cultural moment — it’s about peeling back the layers for anyone curious enough to look.
My Response:
First off, my research leads to my conclusions, which are my opinion. You cannot sue someone for having an opinion — especially one supported by hundreds of slides, documents, session logs, timeline impossibilities, and public records that anyone can verify for themselves.

There you have it — a few of the quirky regulars that pop up in the comments. Some make me laugh, others just show how threatened certain belief systems get when you start asking real questions.
In the meantime, keep thinking for yourself. That’s what this is all about.
