December 8, 1980: John Lennon is assassinated in the US

[Myra Bronstein]

"They tried to kill John, but they couldn't because his message is still alive."
--Yoko Ono, "The US vs John Lennon"

[Peter Lemkin]

"They tried to kill John, but they couldn't because his message is still alive."
--Yoko Ono, "The US vs John Lennon"

Not only killed IN the U.S.; but BY the U.S. [or some in it]! :thumpdown: Like with 11/22/63 I remember exactly where I was "when I heard the news....."

Another of the many assassinations by the 'assassination factory'. A great loss for the World, Peace, Justice and those of us who could 'Imagine!'

As do I Peter. I was asleep when an old boyfriend and former member of the Assassination Information Bureau, Harvey Yazijian, called and woke me up with the words "There's been another political assassination John Lennon is dead".
Little did Harv realize how correct he was.
I was inconsolable for a very long time.

Yes that was a horrible time. The day the music died. Or more aptly was murdered. For those who have not seen "The US vs John Lennon" and want some insights, it is highly recommended.

Here are Gore Vidal's brief but insightful comments from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FJ51Jmlxno
I really think the entire documentary is online so I'm looking for it.

I watched it, it's great. It's a good synopsis of the cultural war going on in the 60's.


They've set the scene for a movie to show the CIA hypnosis and murder of Lennon. Something noticeably and palpably too mute in this movie. After all, if the bastards murdered Lennon through cowardly hypnosis why deny them the due and deserved credit?
