John Lennon/Assassination
| Date | 8 December 1980 |
|---|
Official Narrative
Mark David Chapman was a "lone nut" who, after having asking for and received Lennon's signature earlier that day, had been waiting 6 hours for him until evening. On seeing John Lennon, he called out to him (maybe[1]) before firing the 5 fatal shots at Lennon. In court he mentioned that he was incensed by Lennon's "We're more popular than Jesus" quote.
Problems
Mark David Chapman had family links[clarification needed] which connect him to derivatives of the MKULTRA programme. The doorman of his hotel, and a witness to the killing, who spoke to Chapman before the police arrived, was Jose Sanjenis Perdomo, a key organiser of Operation 40 (a CIA assassination squad). His name was not reported by commercially-controlled media at the time, and quite possibly remained undisclosed for six years[2].
External Links
- The FBI's War on Rock Stars by Salvador Astucia, a highly recommended site on the Lennon Assassination. It contains the full text of Astucia's book on Lennon plus lots of commentary, photographs and excerpt from News Group discussions.
- Why John Hinckley, Jr. Almost Assassinated Reagan - An article by Trowbridge Ford - It focuses on the well documented relationship between MKULTRA (and derivative CIA programmes) and the 'lone-assassin' epidemic in the US. It finds a plausible connection between JH Jnr and MDC and, unlike the Salvadore Astucia site, has MDC actually firing the killer shots as a sort of 'Manchurian Candidate', rather than (in a similarly manipulated state) being the Patsie who was present and ready to take the blame.
