Rethinking John Lennon’s Assassination
July 24, 2003
Author: Salvador Astucia
Introduction
John Lennon was one of the most beloved and influential people who lived in the Twentieth Century. Although his only claim to fame was singing, playing guitar and writing songs, once he achieved superstar status with his rock group, the Beatles, he used his enormous celebrity to promote the cause of peace. He therefore became a threat to those who profit from war.
When the world learned of his murder on December 8, 1980, the outpouring of love and grief for the slain Beatle was overwhelming. In life, John Lennon held no position of direct power. He was not an elected official. He was not a president, a king, or religious leader. He led no crusade, formed no political party. He was merely an entertainer who spoke openly about issues he believed were important. Many have compared the world’s reaction to his death to that exhibited when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Lennon’s younger son, Sean, had publicly stated his belief that his father was likely assassinated by the United States government. In recent years, Sean reportedly made the following statement:
[He] was a counterrevolutionary and was very dangerous to the government. If he had said ‘Bomb the White House tomorrow,’ there would have been 10,000 people who would have done it. The pacifist revolutionaries are historically killed by the government, and anybody who thinks Mark Chapman was just some crazy guy who killed my dad for his own personal interest is insane or very naive. It was in the best interest of the United States to have my dad killed. And you know, that worked against them, because once he died, his power grew. So I mean, f*ck them! They didn’t get what they wanted.(Geoffrey Giuliano, Lennon in America, p. 222)
A short while ago I decided to research John Lennon’s murder in depth. As I suspected Sean was absolutely correct. There WAS a conspiracy. The United States government had reason to silence John Lennon. I will discuss motive shortly, but for now, let us focus on the crime scene itself. Regardless of motive or the accused killer’s state of mind, I will demonstrate that Mark David Chapman is completely innocent and should therefore be released from prison as soon as possible. Here is a brief summary of my findings:
Lennon’s wounds were on the wrong side of his body. The autopsy revealed four wounds to the left side of the upper body: two in the left shoulder, two in the left side of the back. On Dec. 10, 1980, (two days after the murder) the New York Times published a diagram showing where Lennon and Chapman were standing when the fatal shots were fired. Chapman was reportedly standing to Lennon’s right, several feet behind him. Before shooting, Chapman allegedly called to the victim, "Mr. Lennon." As Lennon turned, Chapman fired five shots; four hit Lennon. Since Chapman was reportedly standing to Lennon’s right in back of him, Lennon would certainly have turned to his right in response to Chapman’s call. This means the right side of Lennon’s body was facing Chapman as he turned. The wounds should have been on the right side of the body, but surprisingly they were on the left.
--The doorman at the Dakota on the night of the shooting was an anti-Castro Cuban, Jose Perdomo; Chapman’s primary accuser. It is widely known that Cuban exiles have been used extensively by the intelligence community since the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.
--Patrolman Peter Cullen, one of the officers in the first police car responding to the shooting, believed the shooter was a handyman at the Dakota, not Chapman. Cullen thought Chapman "looked like a guy who worked in a bank." Perdomo convinced Cullen that Chapman was the assailant.
--Hours after the shooting, the New York Times reported that Lennon was shot near the main lobby in the Dakota entryway. The next day the NYT reported that he was shot near the entrance of the Dakota, about 20 feet away from the spot originally reported. The shift in location was apparently needed because police and witnesses found Chapman at the entrance of the Dakota building, not 20 feet inside.
--Lennon’s true assassin was probably the handyman (aka, elevator operator) who fired from inside or near a service elevator located across from the concierge stand where Lennon collapsed after being shot. Shooting from the service elevator would easily hit the left side of Lennon’s body which is where the wounds were located.
--Mark David Chapman has never been judged legally insane, although opinion leaders within the American news media continually portray him as crazy. He pled guilty to the crime, thereby forfeiting his right to a trial. As a result, he has spent the last 22 years of his life in Attica State penitentiary for a crime he did not commit.
--Facts indicate that Chapman was likely the victim of mind control—a combination of drugs, hypnosis or both—which caused him to commit numerous self-incriminating acts; however, murder was not one of them. Ironically, Chapman himself believes he shot Lennon, although he cannot recall several key details of the crime. The power of suggestion is an incredible tool.
--There are no known witnesses to the crime; however, several "crime scene witnesses" observed events shortly before and after the shooting. But I have found no statements from any person who actually observed Chapman shoot Lennon; not even Yoko Ono.

TotalInfo: The author of this piece is ultimately a bit confused on motive. The ultimate thing to remember here was that not only did Lennon have the ability to lead the thoughts of millions, he had first-hand knowledge of the cryptocracy's dirty dealings vis-a-vis Faul.
He was becoming a loose cannon -- beginning to speak up more and more. Playboy was going to press with this quote:
"We must [red]always remember to thank the CIA and the Army for LSD. That's what people forget. Everything is the opposite of what it is, isn't it, Harry?[/red] So get out the bottle, boy... and relax. They invented LSD to control people and what they did was give us freedom. Sometimes it works in mysterious ways its wonders to perform. If you look in the Government reports on acid, the ones who jumped out the window or killed themselves because of it, I think even with Art Linkletter's daughter, it happened to her years later. So, let's face it, she wasn't really on acid when she jumped out the window."
