  This is a foolish lie. Why on earth are you doing this? I am friends with him and have been since 1992. He only wants to live out his life in peace as Jesse. The facts straight from him can all be read in his own handwriting at Linda hood sigmon truth site.

• ElvisAaronPresleytcb 2 days ago

  i got people on facebook who no he’s coming home everyone said your’e a fake Elvis woul’d never betray his fans his video said he’s coming back if Elvis is Realy the same Elvis he woul’d not betray his fans.

  • You are making a complete fool of yourself. The man who said those words on the DVD is my friend Elvis, who is now Jesse. He was reading from a script written by Joel Gilbert…a movie script and not from his own mind.

    If you care to read his two page letter on my site in Elvis’s own handwriting…handwriting which has been analyzed and documented as his handwriting…you would know the truth. The people who say I am a fake are being very ignorant and foolish. I will trouble you no more.

    While you are checking this person out, you may find it interesting to hear the desecration which he has done to Jesse’s song “The Dance”.  “Robert” does not do justice at all…he should not mess with perfection.

    Everyone should understand that “Robert” and those with whom he works are the same group that has a petition circulating asking fans to sign it in order that it may be presented to the U S Government asking that Elvis be permitted to come out publicly.

    This false notion is based entirely on the words which Jesse read from the movie script which was written by Joel Gilbert for the Elvis Found Alive DVD.  The same DVD about which Jesse wrote to me in his 2 page handwritten letter shown below.  You can see that Jesse was not speaking these words at all except in reading the script…he says he would never have said those things about political people.
    

    I do know the names of some others who are behind all of this…the names of those who hate me and have spread falsehoods about me previously.  They are to be pitied because they are so mistaken in all that they say and do.  Jesse is bothered by those who call me all manner of names.  But he says it all stems from one thing “jealousy” and I know that he is right.  I know how blessed I am to be his trusted friend and confidante and that it makes others angry for me to be in this position.  But, they are really only hurting themselves and those who do believe the words which they say…such as this man on YouTube “Robert“.
    

    I invite everyone to mark my words down on your calendars for August 16, 2013…there will be NO appearance of Elvis on that date.  I guarantee it based on Elvis/Jesse’s own words to me… spoken and written repeatedly.

    Here are Elvis’s/Jesse’s very own words regarding what he spoke in that “silly” DVD…the release of which he was not happy about at all.

    Below is a news article written about the attempted picket of Graceland last Friday by the “infamous” Westboro Baptist Church.  I will share this article so that everyone may see that the description which my friend gave me and which I shared with all of you was totally accurate about what unfolded.

    Westboro Church Members Picket In Memphis

    By: Shane Deitert

    Updated: May 20, 2013

    

    MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) – A group of singing Memphians ran a group of controversial picketers from a Kansas church right out of town.

    Members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS, known for picketing outside soldier’s memorial services, picked Memphis, organizers say, because of Elvis Presley.

    “I don’t see anyone, I see people here representing the city of Memphis, saying how much we love this city,” said Allan Creasy, as he was dressed as Elvis.

    There was some initial confusion, as no one from Westboro appeared at an area designated by Memphis Police to rally outside Graceland.

    “Rock and roll is not of the devil, rock and roll is just fun,” said Creasy.

    Eventually, the Westboro members were spotted a few blocks away from Graceland. Counter-protestors then streamed towards them.

    “They had to do it over there at Kentucky Fried Chicken, that only tells me one thing, they are chicken,” said Bud Stonebreaker. “Graceland is down there, man… I mean good God almighty.”

    “When the police officers had an agenda that was less then forthright we just picked a spot,” said Shirley Phelps-Roper, with Westboro.

    As the crowd of counter-protestors swelled, Phelps-Roper apparently had enough. She made a phone call, and suddenly two minivans pulled up.

    Westboro members got into the minivans and drove off as members of the crowd started singing.

    “I don’t know what they were afraid of, we are fairly non-violent, we are singing songs, and talking about how much we love the city,” said Creasy. “They are the angry ones.”

    According to Westboro’s website, the group planned to rally on Saturday morning, protesting against the region’s devotion to football.

    <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

    Then there is this TV news report which is not nearly as accurate as it could have, and should have, been.  The TV report did not even bother to mention that they (church members) didn’t even come to be in front of Graceland and that they left town with their tails between their legs.  They should have been shamed on this TV report.  At least the lady from the Elvis shop stood up for Elvis.  Her comments were certainly more direct and to the point than the mealy-mouthed-politically-correct-vanilla statement from EPE.

    Westboro Baptist Protests Elvis at Graceland

    Posted on: 8:24 pm, May 17, 2013, by Adam Hammond, updated on: 10:33pm, May 17, 2013

    (Memphis) It’s one of the best times of the year.

    Tourists are in town from all over the world for Memphis in May, and the Grizzlies are uniting the city like never before with their playoff success.

    Then there’s the Westboro Baptist church.

    They’re in town too protesting the king of Rock and Roll.

    “Memphis is in the United States. You`ve got this idol over here it`s huge. They`ve turned this guy into an idol. They worship and serve him more than they do the living God,” said Westboro member Shirley Phelps-Roper.

    The group known for protesting solider funerals and other national events made Graceland their stage Friday.

    Extra police officers were on hand to keep the small crowd in order, with no interruption to traffic or tours at Graceland.

    The small group did bring out counter protestors who say the group doesn’t know what Memphis is all about.

    “I’ve always considered myself a bit of an activist so if I were to let them come to my city and I didn’t do anything about it or at least have my voice heard I would have felt really bad,” said Michael Schaffer.

    Renae Roberts runs an Elvis souvenir shop and believes the protesters have the right to be out there, but not their idea of Elvis.

    “He came from the church. I mean he sang in the churches and that`s what he did and Elvis was a very spiritual person,” said Roberts.

    Graceland released a statement about the protest saying they “strongly believe in the value of diversity and condemn the intolerant positions and disruptive behavior of this group, even as we acknowledge their own individual right to freedom of expression.”

    The group is headed to Ole Miss for their next protest.

    WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2013

    Our friend on the blog, Linda FC, has written that she believes that Anderson Cooper will be doing an expose’ tomorrow on the Westboro Baptist Church.  This should be interesting.  It may be that the founder’s granddaughter will be a guest on this show and that she no longer shares the beliefs and views of her grandfather, Mr. Phelps.

    I have set my DVR for this show.

    <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

    A good friend on our blog page, Lucilia,  has shared the following video of Elvis performing the song “Help Me“.  She has pointed out that the autographed photo which Jesse gave to Dr. Hinton, and which appears on page 21 of Jesse’s book “The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley”, appears to have been taken during this performance.

    Below is the link to the YouTube video as well as the autographed photo.  The lyrics to this song are very touching when one considers how unhappy and alone Elvis felt before he became Jesse on August 16, 1977.  Also, remember that Jesse has stated that he first began thinking of faking his death in 1974…the year of this performance.

    Our friend, Jobet, on the blog page.  Has posted a collage of photos which she came across with images of Elvis without a shirt to compare to the image of Jesse with Benjamin. 

    This collage has appeared on our site sometime ago and was given to us by another friend, Live In LaKech, if I recall correctly. 

    I had this collage along with a number of other images of this type displayed on my Current News and Events pages some time ago when they were originally shared with me.  However, during one of the attacks upon my site, I believe these images were deleted.  I have meant to go back and restore them to the site and just have not gotten it done.

    My thanks to Jobet, for bring this beautiful collage to my attention once more.

     

     

    I shall post the other collages which were given to me by Live In Lakech earlier below on this page:

    <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

    I noticed in my news alerts last yesterday that Elvis Express Radio has run a headline on their site stating that “GRACELAND PUT ON THE MARKET“.  The article which EER ran was actually written by Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson in New York…obviously someone who knows not that of which he writes. 

    

    footnote:  I just checked and found that EER has now changed their headline to read:  ELVIS PRESLEY PUT ON THE MARKET
    

    Luckily, I saved the above photo image when I saw it on their site last night…

    I want to assure everyone that the physical property, Graceland Mansion, is not for sale nor has it ever been.  I have noticed several other versions of this rumor being passed around on Facebook, etc.

    The rights to the name and image of Elvis along with a 90-some year lease on Graceland was first sold by Lisa Marie back in 2004 to Mr. Robert Sillerman who owned CKX; then Mr. Sillerman’s company sold their ownership to a company named Apollo Global Management in 2011.  Now that same holding, evidently, is for sale again. 

    The actual physical property of the home itself has never been sold and certainly is not for sale now.

    It is a very sad thing that anything to do with Elvis’s name and image was ever sold outside of Elvis/Jesse’s family where it should have stayed.

    As a result of this sale, we now see that the price of tickets to Graceland and the museums have climbed to unreasonably high amounts.  I have been told this by those who have visited there in recent times.  Rather than being strictly about the wonderful man who was Elvis, and who is now Jesse, it has become “big business”.

    At least when Mr. Sillerman’s company owned the rights, he was a human image of the ownership.  He did TV interviews and made appearances at Graceland.  But, all of that changed once it was sold to a huge company with no human image at all.

    To me, this is a sad turn of events.

    Here are the remaining collages which were given to me by Live In Lakech last year.

    

     

     

     

     
    

Final Goodbye

http://youtu.be/EJMT6rD5zqo

httpv://youtu.be/EJMT6rD5zqo

This is another fine song done by Jimmy Ellis himself.

In a move that speaks to the extent to which famous people stop being individuals and start being part of a conglomerated project that includes their images, Deadline notes that Elvis Presley Enterprises and Muhammad Ali Enterprises, which include the rights to the images of both men, may be headed to the market. If still images of Presley and Ali could generate $60 million a year, it’s intriguing to think what they could generate with technology that could bring them back to life as shadows. What would nostalgia concerts featuring Presley rake in? What about technology that lets a promoter put on a fight between Ali and Manny Pacquiao?

The company that resurrected Tupac Shakur in the form of a hologram for a memorable 2011 concert, Digital Domain Media Group, actually planned to create a similar digital replica of Presley before it filed for bankruptcy in 2012. And bringing the dead back to reclaim their former glory, with all the profits going to the corporations that own their images, isn’t the only way that this sort of technology could be valuable–and very disconcerting.

If the prospect of someone owning your likeness, your expressions, your voice, and the ability to manipulate those images and audio to make you do or say anything, is odd enough when you aren’t around to see it, or to verify whether or not your image is doing or saying something you’d actually do or say, it’s even more unsettling to consider what it would be like for someone to be able to do those things when you were still alive. That scenario’s precisely what’s at issue in a new movie making its debut at Cannes, The Congress, which combines live-action and animation to follow a fictionalized version of Robin Wright as, on advice from her agent, who believes she’s wasted her career, she allows herself to be digitized and manipulated, in part so she can afford to spend time with her son, who appears to be somewhere on the autism spectrum. Even without the trippy animation, the trailer gets at how disconcerting it must be to see someone, apparently yourself, do things that you haven’t done–and that you’d never do.

If I may add a footnote to this article…Just think how disconcerting this would be if you were alive to see it and not be able to do anything about it.  I don’t like that idea very much at all!!!!!

Jesse phoned me tonight and we had a very good visit.  He is doing fine.  He is going on a one or two day trip and was leaving shortly after we spoke.  He does get lonely and enjoys getting out of the house. 

He asked me to be sure to post his thanks to those friends who have sent gifts to him for his little friend, Nick.   As always, he sends his appreciation to those friends who do send him mail from time to time.

He said that he reads and keeps tabs on what is going on in the music world these days.   That is how he, sometimes, gives me the name of a CD  or DVD that he would like to have.  Once in a while, those in which he is interested have not yet been released.  So, I always try to pre-order those for him.  He says that these are a pleasant past time for him when he doesn’t get out of the house.    It also makes me so happy to be able to do things for him.

It also always makes me so very, very happy when he calls…sure made my day today!!

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 2013

I forgot to mention one of the topics which Jesse and I discussed during his call yesterday…something I think everyone will find interesting.

Jesse asked me what took place with the Westboro protest at Graceland last Friday.  I told him all about it and how the protestors decided to do their “thing” at the Kentucky Fried Chicken location rather than Graceland itself. 

He complimented me on my suggestion to EPE that they play his gospel music during the time that the protestors were present.  I told him that they DID NOT play any music at all.  He said maybe they would have if the protestors had actually shown up.  I like to think that they would have…

Something else regarding the Westboro protestors:  Lisa posted on our blog page the following comment.  I want to share this because it just goes to show how vile and disrespectful this group of “church” people really are.  I congratulate the police force in Moore, Oklahoma for their action with this insane group of people.  The presence of these protestors at this little child’s funeral further proves how far removed from the love of God these “Christians” actually are.

I thank Lisa so very much for sharing her news with use on the blog page.  She lives in Oklahoma and therefore has the truth of what took place.

I missed seeing the Anderson Cooper show about the Westboro Church because it aired on a different day than the one on which I  planned to view it.  But, several people have posted on our blog page about watching the show, if you care to go to that page to read what happened on the show.  It appears that they showed their true colors on that show and that they are definitely a vile group of people who misrepresent God and Jesus in all that they say and do.

I just did a search for videos of the Anderson Cooper show regarding Westboro and it appears that there are a number of videos from the shows which Anderson has done about this church in the past.  Below is the link to my search results if you care to watch some of these.

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Anderson+Cooper+and+Westboro&qpvt=Anderson+Cooper+and+Westboro&FORM=VDRE#x0y0

Also, here is the link to a video of one of the Memphis TV station’s news reports about the event.  There were some fans there with signs and who were voicing their opinions about the audacity of Westboro to even attempt to protest Elvis.

I am so disappointed that this is on Daily Motion rather than YouTube and I don’t believe that I can copy it to a DVD from this site.  I would so love to copy this for Jesse to see.

Westboro Protestors Leave Memphis “All Shook Up”

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

Below is something new earlier this month, from Graceland/EPE, which I just stumbled upon.  This looks like it is interesting and fun.  I haven’t had time to view the entire episode yet…but I think it appears to be a nice thing for the fans.

I feel certain that those of you who visit the Elvis.com website often are already aware of this.  But, maybe there are others like myself who will find this new.

footnote:

I find the comment which is made in response to the question about why Elvis never performed “Always On My Mind” on stage in Vegas to be interesting.  You will note that the archive specialist responds with something like “Well, that is a question for him.”   She actually says this two times…know it doesn’t mean anything coming from someone with EPE.  But, I did find it to be a strange way to phrase her response.  You will find this comment at about 23:07 minutes into the show.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2013

A very good friend called me today to tell me about a very intriguing comment which he heard Joe Esposito make on Friday on the Sirius radio Elvis show.  George Klein was conducting a telephone interview with Joe when George brought up the topic of the Cirque du Soleil – Viva Elvis show closing in Las Vegas.  Joe promptly responded “Elvis didn’t like that show.”  Then he tried to cover up his “mis-spoken” comment by saying something like “He never saw that show…but he wouldn’t have liked it if he had seen it.”

This show was last performed on August 31, 2012.

My friend tells me that he was not the only person who heard and took note of what Joe said.  He tells me that if others would like to hear this remark, they may tune in on Monday to the G. K. Replay of the Friday show.  It will air again sometime Monday…those with Sirius subscriptions may check on Elvis.com to determine what time it will air.

Joe has made very clear statements of this type before.  Especially significant and memorable is what Joe said on the Geraldo show back in June, 1990.  For those who are new to my site, I have a YouTube video of Joe saying this on that show “That’s how Elvis FEELS about this situation.”  The topic being discussed was the theory put out by Albert Goldman and David Stanley that Elvis committed suicide.  I feel pretty sure that Jesse and Joe planned for Joe to make that very clear and adamant statement on the Geraldo show.  Jesse, obviously, would have been upset and angered by the way Geraldo did his 20/20 expose’ and even more angered by the false allegations that he committed suicide.

An interesting footnote regarding the comment on the Geraldo show was something which Jesse said to me several years ago.  Those who have been with my site for an extended period of time will recall when Marty Lacker was posting very nasty messages to me on the Messages to Jesse page in December several years ago.  Jesse was giving me info. to counteract Lacker.  Jesse asked me if I had pointed out to Lacker what Joe said on the Geraldo show.  So, I do know that Jesse wants me to use that fact to prove that I am telling the truth.

Here are the two links to my Geraldo show on YouTube where you may see what the topic of the show was and also may listen to Joe’s clearly stated comment…remember that this took place in June, 1990.

Because of the topic being that of alleged suicide by Elvis on this entire show and the show airing in 1990, there is no way that this comment was a mere slip of the tongue.  If Elvis were dead, he obviously would certainly not have had a point of view regarding people saying that he committed suicide…nor an opinion of Albert Goldman being a little man who assassinates people after they die.

This first video is of the introduction to the show proving what the topic of the show was:

This is a good time for me to remind my visitors that I do have a YouTube channel on which you may view a good deal of my documentation of the facts which you read here on my site.

Below is the link to my channel:

Also, we must remember that in his book The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley, Jesse wrote that out of all the people who worked for him, Col. Parker chose Joe to be involved in the August 16, 1977 faked death plan.

Please remember that when Jesse was writing his letters which became the book itself, he had originally intended for the book to not be published until AFTER he actually passes away.  Thus Joe has been put in the middle of a situation because the book came out way before Jesse or Joe passed away.

Joe has spoken out very critically about Hinton and the book.  He has totally denounced Hinton, Jesse and the book.  I feel pretty certain that he has done this for a two-fold reason.  The first reason being that he took an oath that he would carry the secret to his grave.  The second being that Jesse wrote in his book that those close to him who had cared for him all these years were going to be angry about Hinton being given the rights to the book…because THEY would feel that they should have “top billing“.  Joe may feel that this should have been HIS book…not Hinton’s.

I came across this video of Elvis performing in 1977 and shown with the music of “Orion”.  I hope everyone will enjoy seeing this beautiful footage.  Jesse has told me that he could not look any worse than he did on the last tour…but I love to see him then, as I always do.

McCartney leaves pick on 1st visit to Graceland

(AP) MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Paul McCartney made his first visit to the one-time home of the King of Rock `N’ Roll and left a gift behind.

According to the official Twitter account of the former Beatle, McCartney dropped a personal guitar pick on Elvis Presley’s grave and said it was “so Elvis can play in heaven.”

The lifelong Elvis fan toured Graceland, the Memphis mansion, on Sunday.

He was in Memphis to play a show on the North American leg of his “Out There” tour.

The show at FedExForum marked McCartney’s first visit to the Bluff City in two decades.
