TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – The Food and Drug Administrations cautions consumers of chicken jerky dog treats imported from China, in particular, Waggin’ Train Dog Treats.

They say it may be associated to illness, kidney and liver failure, and death.

Scientists are still working to determine a definite cause, so a recall hasn’t been released yet. Therefore, they’re still on store shelves.

Here is some interesting information from today’s Thought for the Day:

	Think on This… (Q) Please explain for me what is meant by “soul-mate” . . . (A) Those of any sect or group where there is the answering of one to another; as would be the tongue to the groove, the tenon to the mortise; or in any such where they are a complement one of another–that is what is meant by “soul-mate.” Not that as from physical attraction, but from the mental and spiritual help.

My friend Ron Collamore wrote to tell me about the fact that President Eisenhower’s library and museum is featuring Elvis in their displays and upcoming events.  This is wonderful!  Elvis was such an influential presence during President Eisenhower’s administration. 

Here is an excerpt from the article which Ron sent to me:

Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and Boyhood Home Message from the Director

EVENTS:

April 13 | Reception for “Elvis at 21” exhibit and concert by Elvis Tribute Artist Joseph Hall; reception in Library courtyard and concert outdoors. 

 EXHIBITS

My thanks to Ron for bringing this to my attention.

My friend, Jean from Scotland, wrote to share her observation about the pool house door photo comparison and the photo of Jesse with Benjamin.  I thank Jean very much for her thoughts on this very good point.

Jean writes:  Another point noticed that you could use is the image you used of Elvis to compare to the pool house door photo could also be used with photo of Jesse ! The hair style is exactly the same, something that rarely changes with a lot of people is the way their hair naturally grows. Just an observation Linda to help those poor disbelievers

We have a lovely new visitor to our site, Audrey from Australia.  Audrey wrote to ask about my usage of the “Hood” in my name.  Some others have commented about that as well, so I will explain. Hood is my maiden name.  In our area there are so many Linda Sigmons.   There were even two other Linda Sigmons in my husband’s family.  Just about everywhere I go, there are others with my same name on file. 

I began using my full name, including Hood, back when I was doing my newsletter (over 20 years ago) because I wanted to be sure to receive all mail sent to me. 

Some people think that I use the Hood in my name because I want people to think that I am related to Elvis/Jesse…but that is not the case…never was.  Although, I certainly would be so very honored if he and I are related by blood. 

He and I have “adopted” each other as siblings.  He calls me his “baby sister” and I call him “my big brother“.  This was his idea and I love it so much.  We are “soul mates” as defined in the above Edgar Cayce reading.

I thank Audrey for her question.

My good friend, Susan, Emailed me the link to this YouTube video of J. D. Sumner speaking about his life with Elvis.  I have heard this before, but I don’t recall that I have ever written about this on this site.

JD Sumner On Elvis – part 1

Uploaded by livingElvis on Apr 16, 2010

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO7K22LHhtA&feature=related

J. D. did not know the truth in the beginning after August 16, 1977 and he denounced all of the rumors about Elvis being alive.

However, J. D. did become aware of the truth later on.  J. D. and Jesse resumed contact and were friends until the day J. D. died. 

Jesse phoned me one Saturday night, about a year before J. D. passed away.  He told me that he and J. D. had just hung up and that they had been talking about me.  He said that J. D. knew who I am. 

He said that if I ever went to another J. D. show that I should go up to him and that J. D. would have something in his pocket for me.  Sadly, J. D. did not perform again in our state and I never got to follow through on Jesse’s promise.

A good friend who was friends with J. D. told me that J. D.’s attitude about Elvis being alive changed drastically from the days when he was so harshly denying that fact.

During the last J. D. concert that my husband and I attended, J. D. even made a joke about Elvis still being around.

J. D. said that he and the stamps were having some trouble getting bookings.  He said he told his agent “Tell them I’ll bring Elvis!!”  I absolutely do not believe that J. D. would have been making this kind of joke if he believed that his dear friend was really dead.

This photo of J. D. and me was taken after the last show which I attended:

I have a very good and true friend who was close friends with J. D.  He once asked J. D. if Elvis really died.  J. D. responded to him “Elvis, as we knew him, died that day.”

Tell Congress: Don’t censor the Web

Fighting online piracy is important. The most effective way to shut down pirate websites is through targeted legislation that cuts off their funding. There’s no need to make American social networks, blogs and search engines censor the Internet or undermine the existing laws that have enabled the Web to thrive, creating millions of U.S. jobs.

Too much is at stake – please vote NO on PIPA and SOPA.

This is an interesting interview with and article about Ed Bonja.

Below is a short excerpt which I really enjoyed reading and I think you will too:

Mr Bonja worked with the music superstar for almost seven years, up until a couple of months before he died.

As Elvis’ only official photographer,…

Now Mr Bonja spends much of his time travelling the world, riding the wave of Elvis’ fame.

One of the things he often shares with people about his famous friend was that he was “a normal guy”.

“Some people who don’t know much about him find it hard to believe that he was really shy, people would give him compliments and he would blush,” Mr Bonja said.

“He wondered if people would remember him when he died and, well, here we are 35 years later.”

(Mailed to Jesse through this point on 1-19-2012)

I want to share with everyone that Jesse phoned me last night.  He is doing fine.  We had a nice visit.  He asked me to post on the site his thanks to everyone who sent him gifts recently for Christmas and his birthday.  He said that he wished it was possible for him to contact and thank each person individually but that is not possible now.

He asked me which team Tom is pulling for and then he said he hoped that the Giants would win…he also mentioned that there is another team which he likes but did not tell me the name of that team.  He did, however, tell me that he hopes that New England doesn’t win.  I said, “You don’t like the Patriots?!  But, their logo looks like you!!!  He chuckled at my remark.  I am not a football fan by any stretch of the imagination and know next to nothing about the teams other than that which I gather from hearing and glimpsing the games in the background when Tom watches them.  But, for many years, I have taken joy in seeing the Patriots emblem/logo because, to me, it is fashioned after a profile of Elvis.  Check it out and see what you think.

I had written asking Jesse’s permission to display photos of a gift which he sent to Tom many years ago…probably about 13 years ago.  He did give me permission to display photos of the item but not the name of the person whose gift it was to him.

Below you will see these photos.  This is a handmade shirt and vest which was made for him as a gift from a very close personal friend.  I hope you will enjoy seeing these photos:

As you will see, these garments were very carefully hand  sewn and beautifully done.

Footnote:  I forgot to post initially that this gift was given to Elvis before 1977.

“There are no coincidences.  Everything has a meaning” spoken by Elvis Presley.

I too believe this and find it stated by Edgar Cayce in other words below:

	Think on This… Individuals do not meet by chance. They ARE necessary in the experiences of others, though they may not always use their opportunities in a spiritual way or manner.

Our beautiful friend Lucilia Maria posted this video to our video board this morning and I want to be sure that everyone gets to see this once more.

This song is such a beautiful “benediction” to the life he lived as Elvis.  I just can’t get enough of watching and listening to the “goodbye” songs which he sang during that final “farewell” tour.

Love him so very, very much…as the man, Elvis, and now as Jesse, my most treasured friend.

My hero!!!!

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

ELVIS WAS A FEDERAL AGENT:

Early on, with my web site, one of the self proclaimed (and publicly accepted)  “Elvis Experts” refuted my facts about Elvis having been a federal DEA agent.  When I stated this fact about Elvis, this expert said “If he was, show me the proof.” to which I displayed quite a few photos and documents with added details to substantiate my statement.

Some of my substantiating evidence was written transcripts of statements made by Elvis himself.  Heretofore, those written words were all that I had.  But, yesterday on Facebook I found displayed a very recently added video on YouTube of Elvis on stage making the statement that he is a federal narcotics agent.  This is a lengthy monologue of Elvis refuting the trash written about him in the movie magazines.  I know you will thoroughly enjoy seeing and hearing this.

Elvis was livid about the lies being told about him…with very good reason.  He expresses his righteous indignation in no uncertain terms.  I wish I had been there to applaud and shout out “Give’em Hell, Elvis.”

Quite some time ago, during a phone conversation with Jesse, he affirmed that I am correct in having my page about his federal and other law enforcement agencies involvement.  His response to my query about having my page was “Yes. I know all kinds of people.”

 So, once and for all, here is the truth straight from Elvis’s own mouth.  I ask the “Elvis Experts” and everyone else, are you going to dispute what Elvis himself stated on stage by saying he was lying, or high on drugs, etc. or are you going to believe the words of the man himself?  To do anything but accept the words of the man himself on stage and then again to me on the phone, is the ultimate act of disrespect to this man who stood so tall his entire life.

I do not care for the latter portion of this video which paints a negative image of Col. Parker and Elvis.

I do want to say, while I have it on my mind, that Jesse and Col. Parker were close friends until the day that Col. Parker passed away.  I know this for a fact because Jesse told our mutual close friend, about 3 weeks before Col. Parker passed away, that the Col. was dying.  To my knowledge, this fact had not been made public anywhere.  I was driving home from work and heard Col. Parker’s death announced on the radio.  I called our mutual friend to tell him that the Col. had indeed died just as Jesse had said.  Turns out that Jesse had already called our mutual friend and told him of Col. Parker’s death and said “See, I told you so.”   Jesse told our friend before it was announced in the news.

I want to thank, so very much,  the person who added this video on YouTube just a little over a week ago.  Uploaded by bfddanny1987 on Jan 11, 2012 who also wrote this description:

       In this Video Elvis tells his Fans he is a Government Agent and they laugh because they think he is joking, But Elvis says ” I’m an eighth degree black belt in Karate. I’m a Narcotics Government agent.” then the audience laughs thinking it’s a joke, then Elvis say’s ” I am swear to God”

I personally love Elvis’s response to some who called out “boo.o.o.o.o.o” from the audience.  How dare anyone say that to Elvis when he is stating something so important!

Below is one example of what he was saying:

At the below link, you may watch a short video of Muhammad Ali before he went into the private party for his 70th birthday.   This is the party to which Jesse was invited and about which he told us in advance.

You may just click on the title bar as it is the link.

This is a CBS News Report.

Below is the link to a video of Elvis in 1973 boarding a plane after two shows in Fresno.  This is further substantiation of Elvis’s association with Howard Hughes.  You will see that the name on the plane is Hughes Airwest.  Please refer to my page dedicated to the connection between these two men.

My Page: Elvis/Jesse and Howard Hughes

Jesse wrote in his book that Howard Hughes was one of the people who helped him to pull off August 16, 1977.

This was obviously a chartered plane or perhaps just a loan from a good friend.

My friend Ron Collamore wrote to tell me the following about another photo of Elvis traveling in a Hughes AirWest plane.

Here is Ron’s note to me:

Great information! If you go to Paul’s Elvis Page Candid Central and find candid central 1970s, there are photos of Elvis arriving at the Seattle airport on April 29, 1973. A photo of Elvis departing the Hughes Airwest plane.

My heartfelt thanks to Ron for his help, as always.

Today is a landmark for our web site!  Last night we reached 150,000 visits!!

I want to thank every single person who has visited and brought us to this point.  We have visitors from all over the world which is a testament to how much Jesse is loved everywhere.  Once in a while I print off the list of recent visits for Jesse to see so that he can see the worldwide interest in him.

Below is a good celebration song...just because of its toe-tapping sound.  This song is guaranteed to make us all feel energized.  Wish we could go back to those days...

elvis- talk about the good times

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

Below is a wonderful interview with Elvis in which he speaks about himself.  You will hear him explain about his temper which may help everyone to understand his actions on stage in the above video in which he was angry about the rumors and lies being told about him.  I completely understand how he felt because those same types of things have been done to me too.

If you doubt that it was really Elvis in the 1981 taped phone conversations and the Oct. 1988 phone call to Gail Brewer-Giorgio, just listen closely to Elvis in this video and then listen closely to those two tapes of him on the phone.  There is NO doubt whatsoever that it is Elvis on those tapes.

When he speaks with me to this day, even with the distortion device, there is absolutely NO doubt that it is Elvis who is now Jesse.

Also, I suggest that you listen to the voice on the trailer for the "documentary" ELVIS FOUND ALIVE.  I believe you will agree that the voice on the film IS NOT Elvis.

Before I publish what I am about to say, I want to make it clear to everyone that I am not going to say one word to embarrass or hurt anyone.  I have the utmost respect for everyone about whom I am about to write.  But, I am trying to set the record straight for Elvis/Jesse.

The following interview with Kathy Westmoreland is very good...

It is so sad that she believed that he was dying...but listen to her talking of him cutting up and laughing right up until the end.  He wasn't actually dying, of course.  He was very miserable the last several years of his life...but he put on a brave front for others and trudged on.

I have never asked him why he told various people that he was dying nor why he told one person that he was dying of the colon problem and told others that he was dying of bone cancer.  He must have had his reasons.

He told Kathy Westmoreland that he was dying of bone cancer when she first met him.   He later told Mae Mann that he was dying of bone cancer.  But, at the same time, he convinced Wanda June Hill that he was dying because of the colon problem which had troubled him for years.

I don't pry into his private life.  The reasons for the things he told people back then, obviously were for a reason.  Nor do I ask him how he corrected his health problems...I am just so thankful to God that he did.

As for Dr. Nick, yes, he has elaborated about the colon problem and more recently blamed that for Elvis's "death".  However, Dr. Nick has been all over the place about what killed Elvis.  Below is an interview which he did in which he declared that Elvis was murdered and that he suspected who did it.  Also, Dr. Nick stated that he saw Elvis a few days before August 16, 1977 and he was in good shape and he was totally shocked by his sudden death.

Elvis told Red West (in the taped phone conversation after their book was written in 1976 which Red has made public a number of places) that the colon problem had been straightened out after he got off of a liquid diet.  He mentions the fact that, at one point, surgery was thought to be necessary.

The reason I am pointing out all of these inconsistencies is so that you may see the tangled web of misinformation which Elvis created before he left and which has continued since he left.

I am so very sorry for those who were told various scenarios of his forthcoming "death".  Had I been in their places, I would have believed him too and grieved just as they have.  One of these people has written me that IF he did do this, she would be angry.  I was dumbfounded by this attitude.  How in the world could you be angry to learn that someone you loved dearly is still alive??

Rick Thomas sent me an interesting Email this morning and I asked his permission to share it on the site.  I will be passing the information along to Jesse as well as per Rick's request. My thanks to Rick for writing with this information.

I was watching pawn Stars on The History Channel, a local man was trying to sell medical records found from a local building throwing them away in a dumpster He was trying to sell them for $40,000 to $50.000.  What this man has is amazing x-rays, medical drugs issued and detailed information on his medical health In Vegas! This is the Holly Grail of proof Elvis didn’t die!  All the claims about the body doesn’t match up to these records! It looks like this man is going to make a very deal of this discovery it could cause problems for Jesse! From what I know, Jesse covered his tracks but didn’t do it with all his doctors.  Rick

Our good friend, Jan, has created a YouTube video in co-operation with our dear friend, M J.  This video was done as a gift to Jesse.  It was planned for his birthday but because of a crashed computer, Jan was not able to complete it until this past week.

Jan did the video and M. J. wrote the poem which is featured in the video. They both did a beautiful job.

I thank both of them, from the bottom of my heart, for doing this for Jesse.  I also thank them so much for including information about our web site in the video.  So much love and light to them both.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 2012

I saw the photo below on Facebook this morning and it brought to mind the fact that Jeannie C. Riley appeared on stage in one of the FOX 8 News reports about Dr. Hinton and stated that she knew that Elvis is alive.  She also stated that other entertainers, whom she knows, also know that he is alive but don't want to speak out.

I am sorry that, right off the top of my head, I can't recall exactly in which report this statement was shown.  It definitely can be found in one of my YouTube videos of the FOX 8 reports.
