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 hotel doorman, a witness to the killing who spoke to Chapman before the police arrived was none other than 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, suggests that Chapman actually fired the fatal shots as a sort of 'Manchurian Candidate', rather than (in a similarly manipulated state) being the patsy who merely took the blame

PageQuoteAuthor
Elliott Abrams“I'm sorry, but John Lennon was not that important a figure in our times. Why is his death getting more attention than Elvis Presley's? Because Lennon is perceived as a left-wing figure politically, anti-establishment, a man of social conscience with concern for the poor. And, therefore, he is being made into a great figure. Too much has been made of his life. It does not deserve a full day's television and radio coverage. I'm sick of it.”Elliott Abrams

WhiteheadJohn Lennon, born 80 years ago on October 9, 1940, was a musical genius and pop cultural icon. He was also a vocal peace protester and anti-war activist, and a high-profile example of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to persecute those who dare to challenge its authority.
