7. Terrible day
Always a bummer of an anniversary but a great excuse to listen to some John. Maybe a good documentary or two on tonight as well.

8. o jeeeeeze, I googled Mark Chapman and guess what...
Bush Sr. name comes up. good fricken grief.

http://www.davidicke.net/emagazine/vol20/research/chapman.html

NewsHawk has previously published several articles which made note of the fact that Chapman was without ANY doubt a CIA-trained MK-ULTRA style mind-controlled, "Manchurian Candidate" assassin.

We made note of the fact that in the course of being interviewed by Playboy magazine in 1980, Lennon made comments on certain subjects (many of which were not included in the published interview) which undoubtedly caught the attention of the CIA, as well as that of its former director, then vice-president-elect GEORGE BUSH.

In speaking with Playboy, Lennon referred a number of times to his knowledge of the fact that certain drugs -- such as LSD as well as more toxic hard drugs like heroin and cocaine -- had been spread throughout society as a whole and in particular the counterculture, for the express purpose of trying to bring about social chaos and a general breakdown in society.

He ALSO indicated his awareness that the Beatles themselves had literally been subjected to mind experimentation with respect to certain drugs they were induced to use; and further conveyed that he knew the Beatles and the entire "Beatlemania" phenomenon were to SOME extent at least just another aspect of some VERY wide-scale, globalist "social engineering and experimentation.

10. timely reminder....
I was helping in my son's library class at school today. Before his class came in I noticed a picture book on John Lennnon, never making the connection to today's date. I leafed through the book and read the lyrics to many of his songs. The last of course was Imagine. Imagine indeed... I had to hide my tears... :(

12. A Man Ahead of His Time
I never was a big fan of John's. It wasn't until years later that I began to appreciate his contribution to not only music...but to the world in general.
