“Watch Featuring Star of David and Cross
2015-01-08-aDCS_2248.JPG
This custom-designed watch was made for Elvis by Harry Levitch, who also made the wedding rings for Elvis and Priscilla Presley. The design, showcasing a Star of David and Christian cross, was meant to symbolize the brotherhood of men in Elvis’ entourage. Elvis, whose great-great maternal grandmother was Jewish, also celebrated his roots by wearing a “Chai” necklace.”

interesting links Angel. thanks.
Thanks Angel. I was at work and did some quick reference but it seems they even champion him as their own in many references. Recognizing only each other while simultaneously disregarding nonmembers and/or pilfering the the talents and achievements to claim as their own accomplishments through twisted legalese and other lies is standard modus operandi.
Yes, I believe “the king” was also used as part of the grand construct.
How much you wanna bet he was there in the crowd
You think the fans were cold? I heard Elvis was stiff as a board.
