John Lennon would be 70 today

...and sometimes a cigar is only a cigar.....
The patsies are programmed [Chapman, Sirhan, others], but the real sharpshooters are not. There is increasing evidence the doorman had something to do with the fatal shots and we know Sirhan didn't have anything to do with the fatal shots; ditto Chapman. Programmed, yes. The assassin, I think not. They'd like you to think so, so you don't go poking around at the POLITICAL and DEEP POLITICAL reasons behind these assassinations [and many others].

True. I don't discount what you say ala Astucia, however we know Dana Reeves allegedly gave Chapman the hollow-point bullets. There's evidentiary problems with someone else shooting those hollow-point rounds because that would necessitate Chapman firing blanks. I know we can go into alteration and hiding evidence - which I also don't challenge because we know that was done in the Kennedy assassinations. Problematic at minimum. Perhaps CIA refined their methods by incurring a non-investigation of the ballistic evidence.

At least at a basic level it makes no difference since it was CIA (or the usual CIA related entity) either way.
