Assassination of John Lennon
Posted On : Jul / 03 / 2008
Both
the date of Lennon's murder, and the careful selection of this
particular victim are very important. Six weeks after Lennon's
death, Ronald Reagan would become President. Reagan and his
soon-to-be appointed cabinet were prepared to build up the Pentagon
war machine and increase the potential for war against the USSR.
The first strike would fall on small countries like El Salvador and
Guatemala. Lennon, alone, was the only man (even without his fellow
Beatles) who had the ability to draw out one million anti-war
protestors in any given city within 24 hours, if he opposed those
war policies.
