His comparison of the guy on the cover and himself

I'm currently working on an article about a guy who claims to be a clone of the illuminati and to have written songs for many of the artists. He has 3 pieces of evidece: b.o.b and tila tequila talking about cloning (easy to debunk); a piano saying marshall something in a song he alledegly created:

I'm not too sure what to write about that but that doesn't look like evidence.

The final and the most difficult piece of "evidence" for me to debunk is this: he claims to be on the album of Megadeath The World Needs A Hero. A lot of his followers think the same and I couln't find anything about who that person is aside from people saying it's Don. I contacted Mick West (a skeptic and debunker) and he said that they don't look the same and sent me close ups

This is not a close up but he made the close up from this image* Do many people actually believe what he says? No point giving him publicity [I asked if I should create a thread].

Here's a close-up. It's not the same person, or even a plausible clone. I've never heard of him before now. He just seems like either a hoaxer, or someone who is deluded [I told him a suprisingly high amount of people belive him] Where do they gather? How do you know it's a lot?

[I asked what he though about the guy] I've never heard of him before now. He just seems like either a hoaxer, or someone who is deluded.

I hesitate to get into debunking people who might just be mentally ill (suffering from delusions of reference). Generally the only explanation for their claims ends being "they are mentally ill", and that is against the politeness policy. This particular claims seems so obviously incorrect that there's no really point addressing it. If people think it's true, then I'm not sure they are they type of people who will listen to reason.

What do you think, would you see any use in addressing it?

I feel like Mick has got it spot on but they do, to me, look very similar (No, I don't belive his Fable but many do) So what do you guys think? In addition, I reached out to Donald and what he said was very unsettling--WeakMindedSkeptic (talk) 20:04, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

It's the same shit as crisis actors. There's 7-odd billion people in the world, and a limited amount of variation between humans. Hell: [1][2][3][4]

That's very true. Thank you--WeakMindedSkeptic (talk) 14:07, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
