Under Wed 1 to 5, IYE has a link to MM and this was one paragraph in it:

This information allows us to finally crack the lyrics in American Pie, where Don McLean says, “Helter Skelter in a summer swelter, the birds flew off to a fallout shelter, eight miles high and falling fast.” Some have connected this to the Byrds and their famous song Eight Miles High, but that isn’t the right interpretation. McLean is referencing that, but that isn’t what he is telling you. “The birds” are those involved in the operation, the perpetrators or the actors. He is telling you they flew off. In other words, they didn’t die, they escaped. They flew off to a fallout shelter, which means they “went underground”—not literally but figuratively. They went into hiding. How did they do it? He tells you that also: they flew off 8 miles high, which means they were in a commercial jet, which flies at just under that altitude. Of course international flights fly the highest, so you are being told they fled the country. I have shown they probably went to Jamaica first, or at least Tate did.

The moment in the song is 4:11 …

Just to add a few other bits … the military, letter agency connection is seen in Zappa in Laurel Canyon, very close to Wonderland Drive, with its primary school … also the Mamas and Papas lived there, with Cass and Michelle dealing drugs, with the infamous John off to Woodstock, in which he was a major player, selling necessary psychedelia to the yoof … so indeed it was the end of the “innocent era” … Leary also saw to that. There was a Melcher connection with that M&P house too by the way.

Earlier I wrote: “Who else are vulnerable?

• We ALL are, esp. those of us thinking we have it all together, that we have the facts at our fingertips, yet persisting with already exploded notions
• Those interested only in their own worlds, me me me, male and female, the young, the affluent and so on
• Those with a mindset against admitting the truth of a matter.”

What I’m referring to is, and MM mentions it … thinking “that we have the facts at our fingertips, yet persisting with already exploded notions”, yes, MM included … because everyone tends to exclude as possibilities things anathema to their “farseeing”.

And going further … some observers confuse and conflate someone still holding exploded notions as if through sheer obstinacy but in fact it can be anything but that. The empirical method says that we have this much data here right now to draw conclusions from … thus we draw interim conclusions.

Maybe sometime later, fresh evidence comes in and so we must alter our conclusions. A conclusion about what happened can only be based on what is known thus far. The scholastic crime is in refusing to alter a comfortable misconception in the light of genuine further evidence.

What Unherdables attempts to do is present fresh evidence and there’s a Nils Lofgren song pertaining to this: “Ain’t no crime to change your mind.” But there’s also a principle: “Ain’t no crime to retain what has not yet been fully debunked … until such time.”
