SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2010
I am so very pleased to be able to present this new page for everyone's consideration. I feel very certain that when you are through perusing this page, you will feel much more confident in believing my statements that Elvis is alive and that he is now Jesse.
All I ever ask of those who visit my site is that they have an open mind. I absolutely defy anyone to begin on page 1 of my site and work their way through ALL 40 pages, look at ALL of the photos, ALL of the documents and watch ALL of the linked videos...to come away still being so self assured in their beliefs that Elvis died and that he is not Jesse now. Even the most hardened skeptic will have to say "Well, I'll be darned!?!" Even if they won't say it out loud to anyone else for fear of tarnishing their treasured standing in the Elvis world.
The reason that the voices of those who condemn me and my web site in an attempt to denounce my friendship with Elvis Presley bothers me so greatly is because I have lived this truth for over 21 years. I have worked so very hard to make my web site easy to gain access to for FREE, easy to navigate and easy to follow each page. It is truly representative of the hard facts on this topic: Elvis is alive and he is Jesse now...period.
The second reason that the above actions bother me greatly is because I now have had over 25,000 visits to my site. I feel certain that a lot of those people have come to my site because they love Elvis and they want to know the truth about his living on after 1977. Those who run all over the Internet trying to discredit me, are doing harm to a lot of innocent people who only want to know the truth…not get engaged in a war of words about whether my site is the truth or not. I say to those who are guilty of this conduct “You need to load your musket before you go shooting off your mouth!” The people making the criticisms usually have obviously not looked over even one entire page of even one topic before running to post lies about me and my site.
Having said all of that, I now invite you to a page which I have thought about long and hard…as to how I could accomplish this without using my personal letters from Jesse. Well, last night I found a way to prove to each viewer of this new page that Jesse has proven to me and my friends that he absolutely is Elvis Presley. He has done this so many, many times.
Please note that on Elvis' driver's license which expired on his birthday on1-8-1977, his weight was shown as 170#...the same thing which he wrote on the medical examiner's report. Of course, this doesn't constitute "evidence", but I think it is worth noticing.
For full details regarding the Medical Examiner's report and autopsy, please visit my page dedicated to that topic. Here is the link to that page: lindahoodsigmontruth.com/page38
I came across a video of Elvis wearing the DEA STAFF logo. This video was made on the very day of his very last concert. This shows him in Indianapolis, Indiana at the airport. He looks fantastic in this video...very happy and enjoying himself while accepting awards of some type. Below, you can see several "stills" that I have taken from the video. While the logo is not quite so clear as the photo, one can still recognize that it is the same logo.
I am posting the above link to give others a chance to watch the DNA results given which show that Jesse IS Elvis. I feel that there may be newcomers who have not watched this yet. So, to all those who have watched this video one or more times, please forgive the repetition. This link is a very good copy of the FOX 8 NEWS report and even if you have seen it before, I think you will enjoy seeing it again.
Even if one removes Eliza entirely from the equation, you are still left with the fact that Jesse's DNA from 2002 matches Jesse's DNA from 2008 and those DNA samples match Elvis' first cousin on the Presley side of his family...AND also match the DNA sample from Elvis' first cousin on the Smith side of Elvis' family. I don't know how much more plainly it can be stated. I certainly am not removing Eliza from the equation at all and simply point this fact out to those who do not believe Eliza. It was Eliza who was the catalyst for the 2008 follow-up DNA tests being done.
The only way to prove this anymore soundly would be if Lisa Marie would submit her own DNA for testing against Jesse's. The attorney for the estate has stated that they won't do that because there have been so many claims. If they did it for one, they would have to do it for all. But then one has to question why that would be such a big deal. They would only have to test Lisa's DNA from a cheek swab or one stand of hair one time. Once they had Lisa's results they would not have to submit new DNA ever again, no matter how many times someone requested that their DNA be tested against hers. It would be up to the party filing the claim to pay for all of the expenses involved in having their own DNA tested.
I can state absolutely unequivocally that the DNA samples from Jesse are the real thing. You see back in 2002, we were being so very viciously attacked by people who had made it their life's work to destroy me and also Dr. Hinton.
These people have hated me from back 21 years ago when I contributed news items to Gail Brewer-Giorgio's newsletter and which she subsequently published in her book THE ELVIS FILES. When things were becoming more and more difficult to deal with, I finally felt that it would perhaps be best if Jesse did send his DNA sample to be tested. Jesse had honored me by asking that I help make his decisions and so it was that I made the suggestion. My reason for agreeing to this was because it appeared that would be the only way for him to prove that he was/is Elvis without him having to make some sort of public appearance, etc. It also appeared to be the only way to stop the vile and vicious attacks upon us. At the time it seemed like the most safe and logical thing to do.
But fate had other plans and so Jesse's DNA did not match the two "Elvis control samples". This was not because he isn't really Elvis, but rather because the two "Elvis samples" were evidently fakes. As you will see in the above video, THE TWO ELVIS CONTROLS DID NOT MATCH EACH OTHER!!! They were supposed to have been from a 1975 biopsy and from the 1977 autopsy.
FOX 8 attempted to launch an investigation into why the two Elvis samples did not match each other...but got nowhere with the government agencies.
So, it was all left hanging in the air until 2008 when Eliza came forth with her Jesse sample and the samples from the two Elvis cousins. Yes, the letter she received, from which she had DNA tested, absolutely was from the real Jesse, the Jesse I have known since 1992 who is the real Elvis. I was in touch with Suzanne Stratford off and on during those years and so I know that what they aired was the truth. Suzanne did her own investigating as well.
I fully understand that this is old news to all of those who have been watching throughout the whole 9 years. But I feel that it can't be emphasized enough. And, as I said, those who are relatively new to my site may have not seen this news broadcast before. Thank you all for taking the time to view this again.
I want to make one closing comment:
THINK ABOUT THIS PEOPLE....WOULD A FAKE ELVIS EVER HAVE ACTUALLY WRITTEN A BOOK IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING? WOULD A FAKE ELVIS EVER HAVE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED DNA TO FOX 8? WOULD A FAKE ELVIS EVER HAVE ACTUALLY WRITTEN A HANDWRITTEN LETTER TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MISSOURI?
My close friend, Bobbi, posted the following message about me on the ELVIS-PRESLEY-FOREVER.com blog.
Theresa, the administrator of this fan club site, has been so gracious and kind to me in allowing me to open the topic of Elvis is Alive on her forum. I have posted on there a number of times in response to questions on this forum.
Bobbi has given me permission to post her message on my site as well.
I thank Bobbi from the bottom of my heart for her friendship and supportive acts of kindness.
True by: Bobbi
Having been friends with Linda for years I know one thing for sure, Linda has no reason to share her information except for one and that is her joy at letting us fans who love him know that he is still with us. I have pretty much given up on going to boards at all, as the discussion usually turns at one point being about Linda and her claims. I can not stand her being attacked as she has never been rude or mean to anyone. After being attacked she just stands her ground which we all do. People are forever making comments about her board not being open to comments. Why should it be? It was not created for it to be a debate. It was created to show her TRUTH which it does. One thing that I will always hold dear and remember about Linda is a comment she made when we were first becoming friends. There was someone who wanted to "question" her and her response was "why would I want to talk to someone who only thinks I am a liar". Linda, will talk to most everyone, she will share and give what facts she can. She has been hurt by people she thought were friends but she still keeps sharing. It seems to me that with her board up now you know what she believes, you know SOME of her proof and have enough knowledge to make up your mind how you feel on the subject. If you believe her she is happy for you(not herself) if you don't that is fine too but there is no reason for you to be mean, nasty and name call. Just leave her the heck alone and don't bother going to her sight it wasn't intended for those people anyway. The people who choose not to believe will NEVER be convinced so why do they wish to fight with her. I guess just because they like to argue is my only thought.
Linda is true to all of her friends not just the incredible ones like Jesse lol. Thank you Linda!

NEWS UPDATE
Priscilla was interviewed last night on the Larry King show. The focus of the interview was the new Elvis themed show opening in Vegas today...Cirque du Soleil's Las Vegas show, "Viva Elvis".
The slip of tongue which caught my attention (if it was a slip and not deliberate) was in the following exchange between PP and Larry:
KING: It's hard to believe. We're back with Priscilla Presley. As always, we want to thank Elvis Presley Enterprises for helping us out tonight. He would have been 75. Can you picture Elvis 75?
PRESLEY: No. It's hard to believe. I mean, you know, he's still -- he was like a kid. You know, he had a wonderful spirit of play, and you just never saw him -- "
The link below will take you to the complete transcript of the interview.
I am creating a dedicated page for one of Jesse's rather long letters. Since it is 5 pages long, I think it will be best if I put it onto it's own page. This letter was written to Dr. Hinton during the writing of the book.
This is the letter which I mentioned earlier...the one where he explains about choosing not to go into the Witness Protection Program. I will also be adding some of this page onto the page covering the topic of Elvis' active involvement with government law enforcement agencies titled:
My friend Deb just alerted me to the fact that on Amazon.com, there are now some of Jesse's books for sale at much lower prices. Here is the link to their site for the book:
Today, I have added the following to the page which I have dedicated to the graphologist's report stating that Elvis is alive and Jesse is Elvis: http://lindahoodsigmontruth.com/page3
Update of my information regarding Ms. Mason's professional experience and credentials. I am not a learned scholar of legal terms about handwriting analysis which is entered into court cases as evidence. Therefore, I have been referring incorrectly to the findings by Ms. Mason which have been used in court proceedings.
Ms. Mason is indeed a graphologist in every sense of the word. That is the only way I have referenced her in all of my statements. However, in an effort to educate myself more in regard to the legal terms used for graphologist's findings which are accepted in a court of law, I have learned that I have been using an incorrect term.
Actually, when handwriting analysis is accepted as evidence in legal proceedings, the legal term for it is the findings of a Forensic Document Examiner. Due to Ms. Mason's over 10 year history of professional association working with the Kansas City, Missouri Bureau of Investigation...and that her findings have stood as "concrete evidence" in criminal cases, her correct professional title relating to this portion of her work is:
The excerpt below is a portion of the article at the above link.
Below please read item #3 in Ms. Mason's list of credentials
Questioned document examination (QDE) is the forensic science discipline pertaining to documents that are (or may be) in dispute in a court of law. The primary purpose of questioned/forensic document examination is to answer questions about a disputed document using a variety of scientific processes and methods. Many examinations involve a comparison of the questioned document, or components of the document, to a set of known standards. The most common type of examination involves handwriting wherein the examiner tries to address concerns about potential authorship.
A document examiner is often asked to determine if a questioned item originated from the same source as the known item(s), then present their opinion on the matter in court as an expert witness. Other common tasks include determining what has happened to a document, determining when a document was produced, or deciphering information on the document that has been obscured, obliterated or erased.
The discipline is known by many names including forensic document examination, document examination, diplomatics, handwriting examination, or sometimes handwriting analysis,although the latter term is not often used as it may be confused with graphology....
This past week has been my most active yet concerning critics voicing their incorrect opinions about me. Much of the criticism came from the new update which I published last Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2010. It was my new addition regarding the graphologist report by Ms. Mason which drew such heated attacks. Please see above copy of my statement.
I want to make the following statement once and for all:
I AM NOT BOTHERED ONE BIT,IN THE LONG RUN, BY THOSE WHO HAVE HURLED ACCUSATIONS AND INSULTS MY WAY. IN FACT I WISH TO THANK EACH OF THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ONLY DRAWN MORE VISITORS TO MY WEB SITE. A LITTLE CONTROVERSY IS A GOOD THING. REMEMBER ELVIS BACK IN 1956? COL. PARKER NEVER MINDED A LITTLE CRITICISM IF IT RESULTED IN MORE PUBLICITY. ELVIS DID NOT LEAVE THE STAGE AND NEVER RETURN WHEN HE WAS TOLD TO "GO BACK TO DRIVING A TRUCK".
I, AS WELL, HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION OF GOING AWAY. I HAVE THE TRUTH ON MY SIDE, ELVIS HIMSELF IS ON MY SIDE AND I HAVE HIS BLESSINGS TO HAVE MY WEB SITE.
EACH VISITOR HAS THE OPTION TO DISMISS EVERYTHING ON MY SITE AND NOT WASTE ONE MORE MINUTE OF THEIR TIME ON ME AND MY SITE. BUT, I DO ASK ONE THING IN RETURN FOR HAVING FULL ACCESS TO MY SITE AT NO CHARGE WHATSOEVER: IF YOU DO DISAGREE WITH SOMETHING ON MY SITE, PLEASE DON'T GO TO OTHER BOARDS AND ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT ME BY TAKING SOMETHING OUT OF CONTEXT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I AM LYING, STUPID, DELUDED, OR FANATICAL.
I STAND BEHIND EVERY TOPIC ON MY SITE. I DO BELIEVE THAT I HAVE REASONABLY DOCUMENTED EVERY ARTICLE THAT I AM PRESENTING. I HAVE COME UNDER ATTACK THIS PAST WEEK ABOUT THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE GRAPHOLOGIST WHO EXAMINED THE HANDWRITING OF JESSE AND FOUND THAT JESSE AND ELVIS ARE ONE AND THE SAME. I STAND BEHIND MS. MASON'S FINDINGS 100%.
Also, please do go to my greatly expanded and updated page regarding Ms. Mason and her qualifications:
As you can see, the title to this page has been changed from "MY HONEST RESPONSES TO NONSENSE ON OTHER SITES" to the new title above.
The reason for the change is that I always want every single visitor to my site to be fully informed of any and all comments about me, especially those filled with allegations of lies and / or insanity on my part...so from now on, I will post any criticisms of which I become aware without any response from me. This way everyone can independently make up their own mind just from this page. Any responses which I make will be posted on the page which contains the item being criticized.
I'll only add that many of my most vocal critics are those who have a stake in making sure that people do not believe me. They are those who make a portion of their living based on the "fact" that Elvis is dead...then there are others who just want to protect their reputations in the "Elvis world". Then there are others who just don't "get it".
In fact, I find it so amusing that these "big shots" in the "Elvis world" are spending so much time and energy trying to discredit me. Think maybe I've hit a nerve?! If I and my web site are so silly and inane, why even pay me any attention at all?
From here on out, I will be posting articles and links to articles in which I am torn limb from limb by those who think that I am living in my "own little dream world with Elvis", etc.
So far yesterday (Saturday, February 27, 2010) I had two such articles. They are shown in their entirety along with the link to the site on which they appear so that everyone may go to the site and see if these articles have been updated, responded to, etc. The name of the individuals responsible will also be shown if they appear in the original article. This is published material and therefore, I bear no responsibility to protect the identity of the writer if they have placed their name on a published work. Not surprisingly, MANY of these critics choose to post anonymously...I wonder why!?
So here is the link to my newly renamed page. Please do visit to catch the latest opinions about me.
Here is the link to attorney Andrew Mayoras' article in which my site is mentioned in a very favorable light.
I am so grateful to him for helping to introduce people to me and my material.
The following is an excerpt from this article:
Here’s a website by Linda Hood-Sigmon, who is a friend of Jesse, showing copies of the Jesse letter and the Mason report.
Hood-Sigmon is one of the biggest proponents of the “Elvis is alive” theory and has a great deal of evidence on her website. She points to this picture of Jesse and says it was taken on a visit to Lisa Marie Presley so he could see his grandchildren. She states that the controversial photograph marks the first time Jesse met his grandson, Benjamin Storm, in 1994.
But Hood-Sigmon and others who say Elvis is alive do have many vocal critics. Here’s an example of a recent article written by one who tries to debunk some of the evidence that Elvis didn’t really die. But, he doesn’t address any DNA evidence in his article or the Mason report. Instead, he summarily concludes that “one side has no facts and no evidence” and as such, there shouldn’t even be a debate.
Others see it differently. In fact, because of Dr. Hinton’s book, a television reporter in Cleveland, Suzanne Stratford, began investigating.
She interviewed Dr. Hinton on camera and analyzed the evidence, including the Mason report, a picture taken 6 months after the funeral of what looked like Elvis peering through a screen door (and certified by Kodak), and the fact Elvis’ tombstone lists his middle name as “Aaron” when official records show his true middle name to be “Aron”. [See the pictures below on this point]. Stratford also reported that Dr. Hinton had passed a lie detector test they had administered.
And there’s more. Stratford reported she was contacted by Jesse. She asked for, and received, a sample of Jesse’s DNA, in 2002, so it could be tested. FOX 8 News did in fact test the DNA sample against known “control” samples of Elvis, including a 1975 liver biopsy sample and tissue from his autopsy. The problem was that they didn’t match.
But again, another interesting turn. Not only did the “Jesse” sample not match the other two samples, but they didn’t match each other. In other words, Elvis’ autopsy tissue did not match the liver tissue from 1975. (continued)
I HAVE JUST STARTED A NEW PAGE WHICH I BELIEVE WILL BE VERY INTERESTING. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO READ IT ALL AND DIGEST ALL OF THE INFORMATION. BUT, I PROMISE, IT WON'T BE TIME WASTED. I PLAN TO ADD MORE TO THIS PAGE AS WELL AS ANOTHER WHOLE PAGE DEDICATED TO ITEMS WHICH WILL BACK UP EVERYTHING ON THE PAGE WHICH I STARTED TODAY.
There is still an onslaught of baseless attacks upon me and my material. I will only post the link for those who care to read it. I will not even take my time to read their nonsense myself.
For their information, the only reason that I am aware of their new entries is because I have a news alert set up with Google for my name. I AM NOT visiting their garbage.
READ ALL ABOUT IT 9 « Mad Talk By mattiehatter Linda Hood Sigmon is again posting and trying in vain to connect all things that bere no real relevence to her Elvis/Jesse claims, Why? you may ask are we interested, well there are many reasons. The most important one is Elvis Presley ... Mad Talk - http://cockoonest.wordpress.com/
I would guess that they are now denouncing my two new pages relating to Elvis/Jesse and Orion.
Here are the links to those two pages in order that you may read what the liars and fools are saying compared to the documented facts which I have posted on those two pages:
It is a failure, and the American people know it. Only 6 percent of the respondents in a recent New York Times/CBS News poll said they believe the stimulus has already created jobs - and that's after a year. Amazingly, more people (7 percent) believe Elvis Presley is still alive.
JUST FOUND TWO MORE PHOTOS OF ELVIS WEARING THE DEA STAFF EMBLEM. HE WAS SEEN WEARING THIS VERY FREQUENTLY LEADING UP TO 8-16-1977. HE EVEN WORE IT TO THE DENTIST VISIT ON HIS LAST TRIP OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I have previously proven this point in my 2003 messages which I posted. Back then, Mary Smiley's story was that it was Joel Timothy Zophy in the photo with Benjamin on the lawn mower. Once I presented the following newspaper articles with photos proving once and for all that her allegations about the photo were absolutely lies, she then changed her approach and concocted the kind of trash that is out there today. Then, of course, Paul Monroe was involved. Now there are a handful of liars putting their garbage together.
The following is the current batch of lies, mistakes and mixed up information.
Hereis the info....I have had it told to me by two people now. ____________________________________________________________
Long before they came out with the DNA in the Elvis/Jesse case on the show with that one tv anchor out of St. Louis, it would be Bill Beenie's DNA samples involved with EJ. His DNA samples have made the rounds for years.
If it matches EJ, it's Tim Zophy's. And he can be found in either one of two places: Federal Prison, or in the mental hospital in Kalamzaoo. He was the one with the "voice distorter," and he wrote the letters in Hinton's book. He was one of the Jon Burrows. TZ was involved with Donald Hinton. Last heard he was in a mental hospital in Kalamazoo. When he is released from the hospitlal, he will go to Federal Prison.
In one of the Letters in Belka's book (Unquiet Grave), it mentions "the other Jon Burrows!"
TZ was behind the Kalamzoos sighting, the one Louise Welling witnessed. Louise is very sincere, and believes it was Elvis she saw. A Group exposed the Kalamzoo sighting in a book, "True Disbelievers: The Elvis Contagion."
TZ was involved with Paul DeMoss who helped Paul D. set up the sighting. Ray K. (I don't recall the spelling of his last name. It is a polish name) impersonated Elvis in the Kalamazoo sighting. Actually it wasn't a "supermarket" sighting, it was a small "grocery store"sighting in Vicksburg, Michigan, outside of Kalamazoo
DeMoss was one of the group who purchased the "pool house picture" for Gail Giorgio. Mike Joseph who took the photos exposed the group on Larry King. Gail near crapped her pants. LOL Graceland took Gail off the scene after this group was exposed on Larry King, and it was proved Gail was involved with them. Three were named on Larry King involving the Sivle Group who signed the pool house picture contract. The Sivle group goes back to Steve Chanzes.
There is more if you are interested.
I just want you to have info, I was told by someone the letters are being written by a guy named Tim, and he is locked up. Then I get this info above......OH man my head is spinning.
IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE RUMOR IS MAKING THE ROUNDS NOW CONCERNING THE FACT THAT MR. JOSEPH CALLED IN MANY YEARS AGO WHILE GAIL BREWER-GIORGIO WAS APPEARING ON THE LARRY KING SHOW. I DID NOT HAVE ACCESS, AT THAT TIME, TO CABLE CHANELS AND THEREFORE I DID NOT SEE IT WHEN IT AIRED.
HOWEVER, GAIL TOLD ME ABOUT THAT INCIDENT. YES, SHE WAS FLABERGASTED WHEN MR. JOSEPH CALLED IN TO RETRACT EVERYTHING HE HAD SAID ABOUT THE PHOTO IN PRIOR INTERVIEWS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT "SOMEONE" CONVINCED MR. JOSEPH THAT HE SHOULD DENY WHAT HE HAD SAID EARLIER.
AS FOR MYSELF, I DO NOT GIVE ANY CREDENCE TO MR. JOSEPH'S DENIAL. THE INTACT NEGATIVES, THE LETTER FROM KODAK,, THE FACT THAT MR. JOSEPH'S PHOTO AND HIS ACCOMPANYING FACTS AS STATED BY HIM HAD ALREADY BEEN OUT IN THE PUBLIC FOR 3 YEARS... SINCE JANUARY 8, 1985 WHEN API PICKED UP THE STORY OF HIS PHOTO AND HIS ACCOMPANYING STATEMENTS.
AT THAT TIME, IT WAS STATED THAT PLAYBOY MAGAZINE WAS GOING TO PUBLISH AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT. I AM SORRY THAT I DO NOT KNOW IF PLAYBOY EVER PUBLISHED THE ARTICLE.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED ALSO THAT JOE E. HAS STATED THAT THE MAN IN THE POOL HOUSE DOOR PHOTO WAS AL STRADA. JOE WAS ASKED IF AL STRADA LOOKED LIKE ELVIS AND I BELIEVE HIS RESPONSE WAS SOMETHING LIKE " HE DID IN THAT PICTURE". BELOW IS A PHOTO OF AL STRADA FOR YOU TO COMPARE.
THE PHOTO BELOW IS TAKEN FROM THE TRAILER TO ADAM MUSKIEWICZ'S DOCUMENTARY WHICH HAS BEEN IN PRODUCTION FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IF YOU HAVE NOT VISITED ADAM'S SITE, YOU MAY WISH TO DO SO...YOU WILL SEE SOME INTERESTING BITS FROM HIS WORK IN PROGRESS MOVIE.
WHEN YOU ACCESS THE FILM TRAILER, YOU WILL ALSO FIND IT INTERESTING TO HEAR MR. STRADA DESCRIBE HOW PEOPLE WERE BREAKING DOWN AND CRYING AND SAYING "IT'S NOT ELVIS" WHEN VIEWING THE "BODY" IN THE COFFIN.
THE ABOVE PHOTO IS AL STRADA...AS YOU CAN SEE HE DEFINITELY DOESNOT RESEMBLE ELVIS WHATSOEVER.
I WAS TOLD BY A CLERK (IN ONE OF THE ELVIS SHOPS DOWN THE STREET FROM GRACELAND) THAT WHEN GAIL'S BOOK CAME OUT ALONG WITH THE PHOTO AND IT WAS STATED THAT IT WAS AL STRADA IN THE PHOTO, AL STRADA HIMSELF CAME INTO THEIR STORE AND ASKED TO SEE THE PHOTO IN THE BOOK WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIM. THE CLERK TOLD ME THIS WHEN WE VISITED GRACELAND IN THE FALL OF 1988...SO IT WAS VERY FRESH IN HER MIND. IT APPEARED THAT AL STRADA DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS BEING TOLD ABOUT HIM AND WANTED TO SEE FOR HIMSELF WHAT PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
AT THAT TIME, IT WAS PUBLISHED THAT PLAYBOY MAGAZINE WAS GOING TO PUBLISH AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT. I AM SORRY THAT I DO NOT KNOW IF PLAYBOY EVER PUBLISHED THE ARTICLE.
ALSO, I DO KNOW THAT A RELATIVE OF ELVIS' WAS ON A FLIGHT COINCIDENTLY WITH MR. JOSEPH. MR. JOSEPH APPROACHED THIS RELATIVE AND OFFERED TO GIVE THE PHOTO AND ACCOMPANYING MATERIAL TO THE RELATIVE SO THEY COULD "DO SOMETHING" WITH IT. THIS RELATIVE TOLD ME OF THIS HIMSELF. HE DID NOT ACCEPT THE PHOTO FROM MR. JOSEPH.
LASTLY IN THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT FROM PAGE #32 "INSIDE GRACELAND" BY NANCY ROOKS WHO WAS ELVIS' MAID, YOU WILL READ THAT SHE TELLS THE HISTORY OF THE CHAIR WHICH MR. JOSEPH WAS MOST LIKELY DESCRIBING IN HIS VIDEO. YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS BARBER CHAIR HAD BEEN MOVED FROM ELVIS' UPSTAIRS BATHROOMTO THE BATHROOM NEAR THE SWIMMING POOL. THIS FURTHER SUBSTANTIATES THAT MR. JOSEPH WAS TELLING THE TRUTH WHEN HE DESCRIBED THE CHAIR. MR. JOSEPH SAID THAT IT WAS ELVIS' FAVORITE CHAIR AND THAT HE HAD HIS HAIR CUT IN THAT CHAIR.
PLEASE DO VISIT THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF MR. JOSEPH'S LENGTHY EXPLANATION AND IMAGES TO SEE FOR YOURSELF:
THIS VIDEO IS OWNED BY videoinfo. My thanks for this video.
MRS. ROOKS' BOOK IS A TEASURE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE.
IN MRS. ROOKS' ABOVE BOOK SHE GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF THE BODY IN THE COFFIN. AS OTHERS HAVE STATED, SHE SAID IT "DID NOT LOOK LIKE THE ELVIS" SHE KNEW...THINNER, ETC.
MRS. ROOKS WAS EMPLOYED AT GRACELAND FOR 10 YEARS BEFORE ELVIS "RETIRED" AND FOR SEVERAL YEARS AFTERWARD. SHE SAW HIM ON ABOUT A DAILY BASIS WHEN HE WAS HOME. SO, SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT ELVIS LOOKED LIKE UP UNTIL THE DAY HE "LEFT US".
MRS. ROOKS IS NOT STATING THAT IT WAS NOT ELVIS IN THE COFFIN, ONLY THAT IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE HIM.
BELOW IS AN EXCERPT FROM HER BOOK...PAGE #118
MRS. ROOKS' WORDS ECHO THOSE OF SO MANY OTHERS ...AS JESSE WROTE HIMSELF...THEY ALL SAID THE SAME THING THAT IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE ELVIS.
IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE - TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 2010
I HAVE JUST PUT A NEW VIDEO ON YOUTUBE WHICH PROVES THAT THE INFORMATION SHARED BY MICHAEL JOSEPH AND JOE ESPOSITO ON THE LARRY KING SHOW WITH GAIL BREWER-GIORGIO REGARDING THE POOL HOUSE DOOR PHOTO IS HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE AT BEST.
THE FOLLOWING IS MY TITLE AND DESCRIPTION ON YOUTUBE WITH MY VIDEO:
ELVIS POOL HOUSE DOOR PHOTO. ON LARRY KING, PHOTOGRAPHER LIES ABOUT HIS EARLIER STATEMENTS ON TAPE.
In this excerpt of Gail Brewer-Giorgio's 2nd appearance on the Larry King Show...this one after her book had become a New York Times bestseller. Joe Esposito appears & declares that the person in the pool house door photo is Al Strada...you will see Joe's explanation become questionable.
Then Mike Joseph is interviewed via phone and attempts to retract his earlier statements. If you listen carefully, you will see that Mike's statements are all over the place: says he never made a tape in which he said it was Elvis in the photo; says he changed his mind when he met with George Klein and Joe Esposito; says he told Gail in Feb. 1988 that it was NOT Elvis in the photo; says that George Klein told him that it was Elvis' cousin Jimmy who was never liked by Elvis and who began hanging around after Elvis was gone.
Joe then loses some of his confidence and, when asked, after the story about Jimmy, says in a weak little voice "Yes, I do." after Larry asked him if he says it is Al Strada.
Mike Joseph said that he made the interview tape about his taking of the photo AFTER he told Gail that IT WAS NOT Elvis in the photo!?! What is that supposed to mean? He says there is no tape of him saying that and then turns around and speaks about doing the interview tape.
So, what it boils down to is that Joe says it is Al Strada but did not come prepared to show an actual photo of Al Strada. Then Mike Joseph says that he believed it was Elvis Presley up until the last year and that he changed his mind based on what George Klein said about the cousin, Jimmy, and what Joe said about Al Strada. Extremely flimsy explanations by both Joe and Mike Joseph AND CONTRADICTORY TO BOOT.
This show was done in a very disrespectful and aggressive manner toward Gail. Larry King denied that he had the tape of Mike Joseph saying it was Elvis in the photo....even though Gail had sent a copy of the tape to Larry before the show. Also, Mike Joseph says he would like for her to play that tape...as if to say it does not exist.
Here is the video of Mike Joseph's statements:
This is not my own video, so my thanks go to videoinfo who placed this tape on YouTube for our enjoyment.
Here is a very interesting YouTube video. I am not at all acquainted with the person who created this video, but they certainly did a good job. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I. Be sure to watch the eyes, they stay exactly the same between the two photos.
Elvis and Muhammad Ali were close friends prior to August, 1977.
The following is from an ad for the autographed photo shown below:
Muhammad Ali and Elvis Presley Celebrity Autograph
A 16x20 Inches Colour Glossy Photograph of Muhammad Ali and Elvis Presley. Great Celebrity Autograph signed in Gold Sharpie by Muhammad Ali and comes complete with Online Authentics registration certificate direct from Muhammad Ali's management company. A Nice LARGE clear Signature on a great photograph. Two legends in one photograph.
Muhammad Ali and Elvis Presley
This quote is from Ali:
Elvis came to my training camp in Pennsylvania, stayed two weeks.
Nobody knew about it. One night I said, 'Elvis, do me a favor. I got a guitar. Please come with me down to Pottsville, little town nearby, this redneck place called poonies.' I called the owner, told him to let us come in the back door.
Elvis went up to the mike, towel over his face, took it off" - and here Ali imitates - "'You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, cryin' all the time.”
Then we flew out the door again.
Can you imagine bein' in a little one-horse town and Elvis Presley runs on stage? Man, people ran all outta the place lookin', gettin' in cars, tryin' to find us.
Elvis said 'Champ, I've never done that before in my life'."
Here you will see another page from Gene Smith's book, which is described in more detail farther below on this page. You will see that Elvis invited Gene and Gene's wife Louise to Graceland early in August, 1977. The private words which Elvis spoke to Gene are VERY significant. Elvis told Gene the same thing that he had spoken to a number of other people "...so tired of being Elvis Presley". I am certain that Elvis knew this would be the last time that he would see Gene...a "goodbye" visit...and a "goodbye" comment.

Here is another item related to Elvis' law enforcement involvment:
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 News Update
A friend has let me know that there is some speculation going around that the man seated beside Jack Nicholsonat the Lakers games is perhaps Elvis. Just want to let everyone know that "No!", that is not Elvis. The gentlemanin the photo is Lew Adler. He is a very wealthy and prominent producer who has been friends with Mr. Nicholson for many years.
Below is a close up of Mr. Adler with Mr. Nicholson.

Below you will read an excerpt from an interview with Jerry Weintraub who has a new book out titled "When I Stop Talking, You'll know I'm Dead". Mr. Weintraub was associated with Elvis and Col. Parker for years booking concert venues.
This interview is significant because Mr. Weintraub details the facts about him breaking up a fight at Elvis' funeral...between Col. Parker and Elvis' father, Vernon.
The argument was about Col. Parker's plan to sell T-Shirts to the mourners on the street outside of Graceland. Vernon did not want it done. The significance of this exchange is because it clearly backs up what Elvis/Jesse told us and also wrote in his book: Col. Parker was the mastermind behind his "death" and his father, Vernon, did not know. Vernon passed away shortly before he was to have been told.
Col. Parker knew the truth and was taking care of business...as though nothing had changed. This offended Vernon because he believed that Elvis had died.
Col. Parker said in an interview at the time something like: "Elvis did not die, the body did, I spoke to him this morning and he told me to carry on."
Jerry Weintraub broke up a fight at Elvis Presley's funeral, wooed Julia Roberts with $20, and played party planner to George H.W. Bush during the producer's more than 50 years in Hollywood.
In his new memoir, "When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead," due out in April, Weintraub details his highs, lows and moments of comeuppance as a film producer and manager of Presley, Frank Sinatra and John Denver, to name a few.
His story details how:
* At Presley's funeral, his father, Vernon, and his manager, Col. Tom Parker, argued about whether it was appropriate to sell Elvis-themed mementos to mourners in the street. Weintraub relates, "I got between them and said something like, 'What's wrong with you guys? The body's in the next room. We're about to leave for the funeral. Have some respect.'
"What a bizarre moment, the entire world gathered around the house in tears, and in a room in the house, the old man and the Colonel arguing about T-shirts."

CLARIFICATION
AND
*****IMPORTANT NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO SHOWING DNA PROOF THAT JESSE IS ELVIS****
I have been asked about the fact that I have posted something on my site relating to Eliza Presley's DNA evidence even though she and I are no longer associated. My reason for this is that, if Eliza herself is totally removed from the equation, the DNA results still prove that Jesse is Elvis. (Eliza's only place in the picture is that it was she who obtained the DNA samples of Elvis' two first cousins and then gave all of the DNA samples to FOX 8 to be tested.) It was proven that Jesse is Elvis by the following facts: Jesse's sample from 2002 matches Jesse's sample from 2008. Jesse's sample in turn matches Elvis' first cousin, Donna Presley, on the Presley side of Elvis' family. Jesse's sample also matches Elvis' first cousin, Brenda Smith, on his mother's side of the family.
This was documented by the FOX 8 news report which aired in November, 2008. I have not displayed this video heretofore on my web site. Hopefully, once this video is viewed, it will help to put to rest the question whether Jesse is really Elvis. DNA does not lie.
Suzanne Stratford and I have corresponded and spoken on the phone.
Also, as you will see in this 2008 interview, Dr. Hinton has NEVER retracted his statements about Jesse being Elvis. Lies were spread that Dr. Hinton had made a public apology and said he was duped. Dr. Hinton NEVERmade that statement publicly or otherwise. This lie was started and spread by the same hate filled people who also spread the lies about me.
The above mentioned Eliza material which I have posted relates to the series of articles being published by attorney Andy Mayoras. Mr. Mayoras has been very pleasant with me during our contact. He also published some unbiased information about my web site and a link to my site. So, I do respect him for doing so.
Here is the link to the YouTube video:

This is an excellent web site. I know everyone will find this site fascinating. Enjoy :)
The reason that I want to share this song is because "Save The Last Dance For Me" is the song about which Elvis and Red West both told the Hollywood columnist, James Bacon, that Elvis himself recorded this song to "help Jerry Lee out". You can read Mr. Bacon's remarks about this song below.
Once again, I want to EMPHASIZE that I am not writing this to, in any way, take one bit of credit away from Jimmy Ellis. He was a very gifted man with great talent of his own.
My point is that since Elvis himself told James Bacon about recording the song with Jerry Lee, it may very well have been a step taken by Elvis to establish a "cover" for him to record after 1977. You must understand that Elvis was/is a very detail oriented person and planned his course of action well in advance.
Also, you can see that I have documented that Elvis was friends with Jimmy Ellis BEFORE 1977 below and on my next page with the copy from JoeEsposito's book.
I am so sorry that I cannot place the whole song on my site...but my web host only allows 10MB and the whole song is 18.2. Please view this video to hear the entire song.
This is not my own YouTube...the owner of this video is Superboeller1 . My thanks to this person for sharing this with us all.
I present all of this in order that you can arrive at your own conclusion. When deciding, please do refresh your memory about the fact that Orion, the singer, left us with a path straight to Orion Pictures...a path which prominently included Jerry Lee Lewis.
The two following pages are from Gail Brewer-Giorgio's book "Is Elvis Alive?"
This is the article about James Bacon stating that Elvis, himself, as well as RedWest told him that Elvis recorded "Save The Last Dance For Me" to help Jerry Leeout.
Page #92 from Joe Esposito's Book "Celebrate Elvis Volume 1"
This proves that Jimmy "Orion" Ellis was friends with Elvis and Joe:
The two following copies are from the same news article. I have edited out some of the remarks supposedly made by Elvis... because if he said these things, it was spoken in private.

******************SPECIAL MESSAGE*************
**************GOOD NEWS**************
I spoke with Elvis/Jesse yesterday and he has assured me that I have his full 100% backing in all that I do. We discussed two handwritten letters from him to me which I think you will find to be significant when I post them on my site. I plan to do that within the next few days. He again has given me carte blanche to proceed with my site. He knows that I will never say a single word of disrespect to or about him. He knows that I love him like family.
Elvis/Jesse and I did finally discuss the Orion the singer/Orion Pictures topic. He answered me with an emphatic "YES!!" when I told him that I believed that some of the Orion songs were done by him. So, now we do know for sure. I have always known in my heart and mind that I was right about that. I asked him about my having the Orion topics on my web site and he responded favorably. Again, he has emphasized repeatedly that he trusts my judgement completely.
So, I am completely reassured that he is not going to ask me to take my web site down. I have always been committed to keeping my web site up unless Elvis/Jesse, himself, asked me to take it down. I know now that will not happen.
So.o.o.o.o...stay tuned! :)

ELVIS/JESSE'S HANDWRITTEN LETTERS TO ME
My new page dedicated to displaying several of Elvis/Jesse's letters to me is now available for viewing.
I have discussed these topics with Elvis/Jesse and I do have his permission to now display these handwritten excerpts. As you will see, I do have his backing for me and my web site...given by him to me in verbal and written form dated March 28, 2009.
Well, here it is!! One of my VERY FAVORITE "ORION" songs.
If you have never heard the song "Lay Around and Love On You", you are in for some kind'a treat. I LOVE this song. My husband and I traveled to Celina, Ohio back in 1989 because we wanted to see Jimmy Ellis perform in person for ourselves. Someone in the audience requested this song and Jimmy seemed reluctant to do it and when he did, it was only mediocre, no where near as good as the record.
The voice will blow you away! I promise. Above is the YouTube version....this person labels it as "Elvis Resurrected"...and you will certainly see why. The owner of this YouTube video isphantasm2000ad. My heartfelt thanks to the person who created this video. Please understand that I have not viewed any other videos owned by phantasm2000ad.
I am going to put the 10 MB of this song on my web site within the next few days. I will be recording it from my original 45.
Below is an image of the record itself. You will see that this was released on the Orchid of Memphis label in 1989 as Orion.
Footnote: There are those who were close fans of Jimmy Ellis who still contend that some of the songs which, to me, are Elvis are really Jimmy Ellis.
As, I wrote earlier, Jesse and I did discuss the topic of the Orion songs and he said that "YES!" some of the songs were done by him. I did not ask him for a breakdown of which songs he did...and I won't, I respect his privacy far too much to start prying.
So, having added this footnote, my advice to everyone is to just listen for yourselves and make up your own mind. I will probably post some more links to YouTube videos where you will be able to listen to some more of the Orion songs in full...to reach your own conclusions about which ones are really Elvis and which ones are Jimmy Ellis.
Thank all of you, as always, for keepin' on keepin' on for Elvis/Jesse and me.

BELOW IS STILL ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE NAME "ORION" APPEARING IN CONNECTION WITH ELVIS.
ELVIS ONCE STATED THAT "THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES. EVERYTHING HAS A MEANING". I HAVE COME TO FULLY APPRECIATE AND BELIEVE THAT HE WAS CORRECT.
WE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR SOMETHING WE ARE GOING THROUGH WHILE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF SOME UNPLEASANT SITUATION. BUT AS TIME PASSES AND THE PATTERN BECOMES MORE CLEAR, IN HIND SIGHT, WE CAN SEE THAT EVEN THE BAD THINGS HAVE HAPPENED WHEN THEY SHOULD AND AS THEY SHOULD...FOR A PURPOSE IN OUR LIVES.
WITH THAT IN MIND, I CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT ELVIS/JESSE.
<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>
The book titled "The Death of Elvis - What Really Happened" was written by two men, Thompson and Cole, who produced the hour long (Geraldo) 20/20 program entitled "The Elvis Cover-up". These men appeared on talk shows later on relating their "findings". This book was published in hardback here in the states in 1991 by Delacorte Press, Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, Inc.
Yes, there was indeed a "cover-up". The "cover-up" was not of what caused Elvis' death. But rather the fact that there was NO death of Elvis.
I state the above only as a means of laying the ground work for the interesting turn of events involving this book and the name "ORION".
This book was published later on, in 1993, by ORION BOOKS LTD, ORION HOUSE in London.
Below you will see the scanned cover and copyright pages from this book. This will document that which I have written.
Also, it was no "coincidence" that Joe blurted out on the Geraldo show in June, 1990 "...and that's how Elvis feels about this situation" That one event proved how inept Geraldo really is as the great investigator he brags of being. He wasn't even listening to what Joe said...Joe's comment went right over Geraldo's head.
If you look inside the front cover of the hardback copy of the above book, you will see that it specifically spells out that Elvis did not commit suicide and refers to Albert Goldman as the person who told that lie.
Elvis/Jesse does not want anyone to ever think that he committed suicide. That is why Joe was so aggravated with Albert Goldman and David Stanley on the Geraldo show.
Here are my YouTube videos of Joe on the Geraldo show:
It is interesting and touching to see that Elvis was wishing to "walk away from it all" as early as 1958 after the loss of his mother.
In the two following excerpts from Pages 101 and 102 of the book Elvis Presley The Man, The Life, The Legend by Pamela Clarke Keogh you will read that, even that far back, he longed to return to the normal life he had known.
This following conversation with Dixie Locke took place at Graceland in 1958:
DOWN IN MISSISSIPPI
The song by the above title was released in 1987. I fell in love with this song because of the lyrics. This was the very first record that I bought in 1988...before I had any of the Jerry Lee Lewis Duets or Orion records.
I went on a personal campaign to get the radio stations in my area to play the song on the air. Of course, I had only a little luck. I visited the stations and got them to listen to the song...but that was all. Until one Saturday night when a radio station about 30 miles away was having a fund raising event and they would play requests if the callers would make a donation. So, I phoned the station and asked them if I brought a record to them would they play it on the air if I made a donation and they said "yes" so my husband and I drove to the station immediately. They did play the song and got some more call ins asking to hear the song again. So, I felt that I had finally had a little success.
Because I had not heard Elvis sing in recent years, at first I thought that the record could be Elvis himself. I still to this day wonder if he is not on there along with "Steven Silver", the name given as being the voice on the record.
I became acquainted, over the phone, with Kenny Wallis the owner of the recording studio in Birmingham, AL. the location where the song was recorded. Later, while we were visiting in Memphis and Tupelo, we also went to Mr. Wallis' recording studio. He was a most gracious gentleman who welcomed us and spent most of his afternoon visiting with us...even though we showed up unannounced. He said that I was the only fan who had actually come to see the studio and to meet him.
I told Kenny about my ongoing mission to get "Down In Mississippi" aired on the stations. I had been buying extra copies which I was taking and mailing to the stations. Kenny said if he had known that I was doing that, he would have given me the records.
I told him that it seemed that the stations were taking the song as a joke. Kenny said "this is no joke, this is serious". He then took us on a tour of the actual recording studio where he said "maybe Elvis recorded".
Ultimately, the day after I finally got the station to play the song for the fund raiser, I phoned Kenny to tell him my good news. At that point, Kenny told me that "Steven Silver" was really Jimmy Ellis. So, I was a little surprised that he told me that after all the time he and I had spent speaking. But, there were no hard feelings between us. I still, to this day, hold Kenny in high regard. He was such a warm and caring person and could not have been more gracious to me and my husband.
I continued to feel very strongly that the lyrics were a message from Elvis. The lyrics had always spoken to me. The reason that I was trying so hard to get the song "out there" was because of my belief that Elvis had a hand in recording it or certainly inspired the words in the song. I always worried that because Elvis had gone to such great lengths to give us clues, right from day one, that his feelings would be hurt if nobody noticed.
So, recently when my dearest friend M J told me about something she read in Ms. Keogh's book (referenced above) it was like the missing piece of the puzzle completed the picture.
I had never been able to figure out why the lyrics state "Iwas a prisoner of my fame when my Mama died, the Lord seemed to say to me, you need to change your life. I was much too big to just turn my back and leave. So I changed the way I look, now no one knows me. Everybody in the world believes the king is gone, but I'm down in Mississippi and it's good to be back home."
As you can see above, from the pages of the book, the song speaks about exactly what he was going through even way back then.
Here is a link to a YouTube video of this song "Down In Mississippi" in order that you may hear the lyrics all the way through.
Here is a link to a song which was definitely sung by Jimmy Ellis. There are many, many YouTube videos of the Orion aka Jimmy Ellis performances. There are only a few Orion songs which I believe are Elvis.
BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH CONTROVERSY GENERATED BY MY OFFER FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO THE ORION SONGS AND DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES IF THEY HEAR ALL ELVIS, SOME ELVIS, OR NO ELVIS...I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE EACH PERSON THIS ADMONITION:
PLEASE JUST TAKE THE POSSIBLILITY OF ELVIS' VOICE TOTALLY OUT OF THE PICTURE (EVEN THOUGH ELVIS/JESSE, HIMSELF, HAS STATED THAT HE DID DO SOME OF THE SONGS). AFTER ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILTY THAT ELVIS DID SING, JUST READ OVER ALL OF THE OTHER CORRELATIONS BETWEEN ELVIS AND THE NAME ORION (THE SINGER - THE TIMELINE OF ELVIS RELATED EVENTS, ORION PICTURES, ORION i.e. THE PUBLISHERS, ETC.) AND YOU WILL FIND THAT I HAVE PROVIDED AN IMPRESSIVE ARRAY OF DOCUMENTED MATERIAL.
WHAT I HAVE DISPLAYED SO FAR IS NOT ALL OF THE THREAD OF CONTINUITY WHICH RUNS THROUGHOUT THE ON- GOING ORION CORRELATIONS i.e.. MOVIES, ETC.
PLUS I HAVE A TAPE OF A PRIVATE CONVERSATION WHICH ELVIS HAD BACK IN THE '70'S BEFORE AUGUST, 1977. ON THAT TAPE, ELVIS SAYS SOMETHING THAT LINKS HIM DIRECTLY WITH THE NAME "ORION". I WON'T MAKE THE CONTENTS OF THIS TAPE AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE CRITICS WOULD JUMP ALL OVER ME FOR BELIEVING WHAT ELVIS, HIMSELF, SAID.
I DO APOLOGIZE TO THE LOYAL JIMMY ELLIS FANS WHO HAVE BEEN OFFENDED BY THE MENTION OF ELVIS DOING SOME OF THE SONGS ATTRIBUTED TO JIMMY ELLIS. JIMMY ELLIS WAS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED MAN. I DO UNDERSTAND HIS FRIENDS AND FANS BEING LOYAL TO HIM. ELVIS/JESSE AND I BOTH HOLD LOYALTY AS A VERY VALUABLE TRAIT IN PEOPLE. IF JIMMY ELLIS DID PROVIDE A COVER FOR ELVIS ON OCCASION, THEN HE WAS MY HERO TOO. MY INTENT HAS NEVER BEEN TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM JIMMY ELLIS.
THANK YOU EACH FOR READING AND TAKING THE ABOVE INTO CONSIDERATION.
Rick Thomas is a gentleman with whom I have become acquainted over the last several months. Rick was 12 years old when Elvis "retired". Even though a youngster at the time, he said that he figured out immediately that Elvis was not really gone just from watching the TV footage of the funeral etc.
Rick is sharing a photo which was taken of him while he was visiting the grounds of Graceland in 1979. Rick says that he spoke with Elvis' Uncle Vester and asked him some questions. Here is Rick's account of what Mr. Presley said to him.
Linda
This picture 1979 Vester Presley said to me Elvis didn't die the family knows about it! I said why are you telling me this. He said I know you figured it out your questions are dead on.
Rick
More from Rick:
Linda
here is more info to add to my comment!
Vester said to me I think Elvis would have really liked to meet you because you know more about what happen then anyone I have ever talked to. and he ended by asking me what gave it away to me and I said the government agents at his funeral for one!!
To further substantiate that Rick's account is true. I also have known of someone to whom Uncle Vester gave the same information.
Back in 1988 when the topic of Is Elvis Alive was the focus of many discussions, I worked with a young lady who worked in our office after school. Naturally, I was discussing the fact that Elvis was still alive all the time.
After Tom and I returned from visiting Graceland and I was talking about it all, this young lady spoke up and said "Elvis' uncle told my grandmother that Elvis did not die."
She explained that her grandmother and some other ladies had gone to Graceland on a tour. She said that she and the other members of her group were standing on the front porch talking to Uncle Vester when he told them "Elvis didn't really die." She said that the women did not know what to make of him saying that. The young lady's grandmother returned home and told her family about the odd incident. Obviously, the ladies did not take the comment seriously.
Somewhere in Elvis/Jesse's letters I have seen him remark about Uncle Vester telling people things of this type.
I normally try not to post anything on here which could be counted as hearsay. But, because Rick wrote and told me about what Uncle Vester said to him....and it exactly matches what I was also told, I KNOW it to be true.
I have been including so much information about Jerry Lee Lewis in regards to the "Save The Last Dance For Me" controversy followed with the "The Killer, The King" album, and then followed by the Jerry Lee theme in the transition from Orion, the singer, over to Orion Pictures. Below are links to two YouTube videos in which we can hear Jerry Lee speaking about his friendship with Elvis... right up until the "retirement" in August , 1977. Here you will see that they were good friends over the years. Jesse told me, himself, that they "didn't always get along". But, isn't that true of many friendships which survive good and bad times. You will hear Jerry Lee speak of Elvis being depressed and calling Jerry Lee to come over to visit him in "the later days".
It is also interesting to note that in another interview, Jerry Lee once stated that "Elvis was smart. He knew when to get out." I am sorry that I do not have a video or magazine article to prove that Jerry Lee said this.
My thanks to these people who have made these videos available.

Wednesday, June 9, 2010
Here is a link to a site which has a pretty good summary of some of the facts about Elvis' "retirement" on August 16, 1977 which have previously been made public. To prevent attacks upon me, this article and it's author, I have NOT read every word of this site and I do see some few items with which I disagree.
I see that this person has included some information from my own material i.e. Orion movies, etc.
I am displaying a close up photo of the Federal Narcotics badge which was presented to Elvis by President Nixon. As you will see, this badge was engraved specifically for Elvis, with his name upon it.
Others have given the impression that it was only a honorary badge given by President Nixon because Elvis wanted it for his badge collection...just something which President Nixon handed over to Elvis during their visit in the Oval Office. His name engraved on his badge indicates otherwise.
This photo is from the book "Elvis By The Presley's" page #184.
This is a fantastic book which everyone who loves Elvis should own.
Below is a copy of the cover along with the link to Amazon.com where you will find it at a discounted price. Some books are less than $10.00 which is a huge bargain.
"Maybe Elvis the federal agent seems a long way from the Elvis who longed to be a guru like Daya Mata. But looking back, I don't think so. Elvis wanted to transcend into another dimension. When it was spirituality, he wanted to be the spiritual leader who could help the most people. When it was law enforcement, his motivation was the same. He couldn't be ordinary. He wasn'tordinary.
...He asked the President for a short cut to becoming an agent. Where Daya Mata couldn't accommodate him, Nixon could and did."
So, here we see that Elvis' desire for the badge went way beyond just being a new item for his collection. He wanted to BE a Federal Agent.
Below you will see that he did indeed becomea Federal Agent:
On page #217 of the above book: you will see this clearly stated by Elvis himself. You will also see that this is an entire page...the first page in Chapter Thirteen. The Presley's would not have placed this quotation so prominently in their book were it not the truth.
Also, further down I will post from another book quoting from Elvis's own words that he was a Federal Agent.
***********************************
Below you will see excerpts from another book which is titled:
"ELVIS WORD FOR WORD...What he said exactly how he said it...."
This wonderful book was written by Jerry Osborne. I also recommend this book to every Elvis fan. I have had it for a number of years and treasure it. It is so refreshing to read words which Elvis himself spoke without anyone putting a "spin" on the things he said.
This book can be purchased at Amazon.com. Here is their listing of this book as well as the link to their page:
From the above book (on page #290) you will see that Elvis stated unequivocally that he had been a member, for five years, of the International Narcotics Enforcement Officers Association. Not only that, Elvis read (on stage) from a plaque awarded to him by that association in recognition of his outstanding loyalty and contributing support of narcotic law enforcement...
Continued onto the next page:
I bought Mr. O' Grady's book because of Elvis's recommendation. I bought my copy on EBay...a used copy. I don't know if the book can still be found in book stores...but I doubt it.
Below is the front cover of the book as well as an excerpt proving that page #166 is about Elvis just as Elvis said. This is the page which Elvis referenced in his statement on stage after introducing John O' Grady to the audience.
PLEASE DO TAKE THE TIME TO THOROUGHLY DIGEST THE MAGNITUDE OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FROM ELVIS/JESSE HIMSELF.
I spoke with Elvis/Jesse this week and we discussed something which he had brought up in our last prior conversation. It is involving Numerology which is a topic to which he wants his fans to pay attention. I promise that anyone, who takes the time to look back over the dates and name numbers in Elvis' life, will readily recognize why he trusts in and uses Numerology in his life still to this day. It is very fascinating once one looks into it. Also, I feel that most people will be like me... begin seeing that numbers have had a very strong influence in their own life... even when they were totally unaware of it.
He told me in our prior conversation that the gravestone in the movie "Loving You" even correlated with the August 16, 1977 date. I recalled that somewhere, in his book, he had mentioned that we all should look at the numbers in all of his movies. Since I have been primarily using my copy of the rough draft for references in doing this web site, it wasn't until yesterday that I remembered that there are several letters from Jesse in the published book which do not exist in my rough draft. I received my copy of the rough draft on September 20, 2000. The letters which I did not look at for a very long time were written by Jesse to Dr. Hinton after the rough draft was sent to me, and so there were more pages added to the book after I received my rough draft copy. I recalled that somewhere in the book, Jesse made the comments about checking out the numbers in his movies. But, I had totally forgotten that he specifically mentioned the gravestone in "Loving You". So, when I did not find the comment about the movies in my copy of the draft, I went looking in the published book and found that it was in one of the letters which Jesse wrote to Dr. Hinton in October, 2000.
I will place below the copies of several letters from that period. In these letters, you will see that he greatly stresses the importance of Numerology. Unfortunately, his handwritten copies of some of these letters were not included in the book.
*I do have the handwritten copy of one of the letters below and I will insert it at the very end of this article.You will read the typed transcript of this letter below.
He has asked me to be his spokesperson and his "voice". So, I always want to make sure that I am putting the emphasis on the points which he wants to get across. The two most important thoughts which he definitely wants the fans to know are:
(1) The very significant part which Numerology has played in all of his life... even before he knew anything about Numerology i.e. the numerical translation of his name, the date of his birth, the number of times that the number 18 occurred in his life such as his year of birth 1+9+3+5 = 18, and the month and day of his birth 1-8...on and on.
(2) His "dying" was not done as a hoax,..he had to do so in order to even continue to physically survive. His life was in such a state of misery and he knew the only way to save his life was to "die". So he "died" in order that he might truly live...as Jesse.
The above is from the June 19, 2006 edition of SUN.
Now that I have said all of the above as a preface to telling you what Jesse told me and which I, at his suggestion, am displaying for all to see is this:
In our prior conversation, Jesse said that I should look into the gravestone in the movie "Loving You". He had already displayed it in his book...with the fact that one of the years on the stone added up to 24...a number which is very prominent in August 16, 1977. But, I had totally forgotten that he put that in the book and I had not gone any further calculating the name and the dates.
Since he told me to check that out, I have done so. I bought a DVD of the movie in order that I could freeze frame the image of the gravestone and display it on here. You will see it below:
So at Jesse's suggestion, I ran up a numerology analysis based on Cheiro's Book of Numbers. It astounded even me when I reached the end of the calculations.
I am going to just post for you below, my hand scribbled worksheet so that you may see exactly how the name and the numbers on the stone correlates to August 16, 1977:
Surely even the most die hard skeptic will admit that they cannot begin to explain all of the Numerological matches occurring with the August 16, 1977 date which I have already presented on this site...and now Jesse has shown us this. This is rock solid proof that Elvis did select the date on which to leave us.
I ask everyone to please just accept that Jesse is Elvis and rejoice that he is still here on earth with us and cares enough about all of us to share his proof with us. He left so many clues as guideposts for us who truly loved HIM and not just the image "ELVIS".
Remember that August 16, 1977 = August is 8, 16th is 2 x 8, and 1977 equals 24 which is 3 x 8. So look below to be amazed at the numbers on the tomb stone.
Here is the page from Cheiro's Book of Numbers on which you can see the formula for assigning number values to each letter of the alphabet:
The name on the gravestone is Deke Rivers, the year of birth was 1878 and the year of death was 1934. He was a man who had no family and so there were no days and months on the stone. Also take notice that the first name "Deke" reduces to 16 and when added to Rivers equals 8.
Here is my scribbled work sheet in order that you may run the report utilizing the above formula for yourself:
It is exactly as significant as Jesse told me it would be. Only Elvis would have ever taken note of the numbers derived from that gravestone. The numbers match ALL of the numbers in the date August 16, 1977 exactly!! Even if someone did notice the numbers on the gravestone, how would they have arranged for Elvis to "die" on a matching date? Very foolish question, isn't it? See how absurd the arguments against Jesse are?
I feel so honored that he told me to check that out. He didn't give me any details except to say even the information on the gravestone was important (he was referring, of course, to the numbers).
If everyone will just stop and digest this gift which Elvis has just given us, surely the bickering can stop and everyone can just be so happy for him...and happy for each other, we who love him so much.
Thank you for reading this very special article based upon words straight from Elvis/Jesse's own mouth...through me, his "voice".
*Here is the handwritten copy of one of the letters shown above:
Elvis/Jesse has suggested that we watch all of his movies with the idea in mind to look for significant numbers within the movies...such as the gravestone in "Loving You". I have found the numbers which he referred to in Jail House Rock. As you can see, the numbers behind and to the left of him 1313 again add up to the 8.
I AM BEGINNING THE PROCESS OF INSERTING THE "LIVE" VIDEO OPTIONS. AS YOU WILL SEE, YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO GO TO YOUTUBE TO VIEW THE VIDEOS WHICH I HAVE TO DOCUMENT WHAT I WRITE ON MY SITE.
THIS WILL BE SO MUCH MORE CONVENIENT AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SEE THE VIDEO TO WHICH I AM REFERRING.

BELOW I AM PRESENTING A BIT MORE INFORMATION ON NUMEROLOGY. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SHARE AN EXCERPT FROM "CHEIRO'S BOOK OF NUMBERS" WHICH, AS MOST KNOW, WAS ONE OF THE BOOKS WHICH ELVIS USED, AND JESSE USES, AS A GUIDE AND A REFERENCE.
I WANT TO REASSURE EVERYONE THAT THERE IS NOTHING SINISTER OR EVIL ABOUT NUMEROLOGY. THE WORD OCCULT (IN THIS INSTANCE) MEANS "HIDDEN"...AS IN THE HIDDEN MEANING OF NUMBERS. SO PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT ELVIS/JESSE WAS AND IS INVOLVED IN ANYTHING WHICH GOES AGAINST HIS CHRISTIAN BELIEFS.
BELOW YOU WILL SEE PORTIONS OF SEVERAL PAGES FROM "CHEIRO'S BOOK OF NUMBERS" IN WHICH NUMEROLOGY IS SHOWN TO BE IN KEEPING WITH THE BIBLE AND SOME RELIGIOUS DOCTRINES...ANCIENT RELIGIONS. YOU WILL SEE THAT AN UNDERSTANDING OF NUMEROLOGY WILL MAKE MUCH OF THE BIBLE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND. IT WILL SUPPORT ONE'S BELIEF IN GOD THE CREATOR. IT WILL ENHANCE ONE'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE BY EXPLAINING THE PROMINENCE OF "NUMBERS" IN THE BIBLE.
Below you will see another work sheet which I have prepared on Elvis' name. The number 9 is very significant as you will see. I will be elaborating a little more on this analysis soon... when time permits. In the meantime, look it over and notice all of the instances of Elvis' numbers resulting in the number 9.
I, myself, am a 9...having been born in the 9th month and on the 27th day. This is something which Elvis/Jesse and I share.
An interesting part of this analysis is something that I have never checked out before and was very surprised to see. I had never thought of this until Rick Thomas asked me if I saw anything in Elvis' street address.
So, I ran an analysis of the street name ELVIS PRESLEY BOULEVARD. You will see that even the word boulevard has nine letters and the numerological value reduces to a 9...the very same way as Elvis' name.
My friend Susan asked me the following question and so I thought that perhaps someone else would enjoy this information also:
Linda if I may ask when is your birthday ? I remember in your Elvis newsletter ( Notes For The Record ) that you asked folks to send their birth dates to you and you did print some in your newsletter. I'm sorry, I don't remember why you asked that.
My birth date is September 27.
The reason that I printed the birthdays of people in my newsletter was because I knew that this was something that Elvis would like to know about the people whose notes to him I published. It is due to his knowledge of Numerology. In Cheiro's Book Of Numbers one can check to see what a persons numbers tell about them.
When he and I were first beginning our contact, he had someone (from his pre August, 1977 life) call and ask me for some information about myself. My birth date was one of the first things he wanted to know. When I told this person my date of birth, he said "He's going to have fun with this".
Then when Jesse and I spoke, he told me that he is a #9 also. This was something that I had not noticed up until the moment he told me that we shared the #9. My birthday is the 9th month and the 27th day (equals a 9). His birthday Jan. 8, 1935 also carries the #9 s. 1+8=9; 1+9+3+5 = 18; which reduces to 1+8 = 9. Then the final total of all the digits in his birth date 1-8-1935 = 27 which reduces to 2+7 = 9. So, he and I have the number 9 in common in our birth dates.
People who are compatible "numbers" get along well. This area is too involved to discuss right here. But it can all be found in Cheiro's Book of Numbers. Perhaps you can find a copy at your library.
I am positive that if you were to ask anyone who knows about Elvis and his "number"....they would say "8". Unless they are familiar with numerology. That is only his day birth date number Numerology embraces all the numbers in a person's birth date and the numbers which correlate to the letters in a person's birth name.
Sometimes we have read in books or articles written about Elvis that at times he would say he was one number and at another time he would say that he was another number. This is because we are all so much more than just the number of the day on which we were born.
So as you can see, only Elvis would have known that right off the top of his head. These are the kinds of things which he and I discuss....things that Elvis himself would know and understand. Needless to say, I have learned and continue to learn more about numerology during the course of my friendship with Jesse.
This page is now full and I can post no more new updates here. Please visit the next "News...." page for all new material.
