Things Should Have Been So Very, Very Different
JFK should be an old man and along with his brother Bobby, giving us sage advice, MLK would have lived to see his dream come somewhat true, and John Lennon would still be writing love songs, if it hadn't been for a few things that "just happened".

We've lost, and the enemies of the people have gained.

Planned, or just coincidence?

6. Giving up?
Nah.... it has occurred to me, but giving up is not an option.
It's why I spend so much time in the 9/11 forum and used to be over at Election Reform.

Seen all the dupes the DU computer system has been coughing up?
That's how Bush won in 2004. Lotsa votes got duped, and so, we got duped.

Never Give Up: NGU!!

2. No. Just what happened . . .
Best to remain centered in the now, make the best of what we have . . .

3. Do you think John Lennon's assassination was part of a wider conspiracy?

8. Well
We would have been a whole lot better with John still banging around. He said as much that he might be crucified. Do you think he was just busting balls, or did he have a clue?

9. yep
Chapman spent time overseas working for "World Vision" a supposed religious charity often suspected of being a CIA front. The president of World Vision at the time? John Hinckley Sr. As, in.... close personal friend of Poppy Bush, and father of the guy who would attempt a similar assassination on Ronald Reagan about 3 months after Lennon was murdered.

The shootings were oddly similar, right down to the copy of Catcher in the Rye found on both shooters. Probably both brainwashed in the same World Vision camp.

15. Hmm . I know about the World Vision connection
but had no idea Hinckley Sr. was president of it.

Interesting how there always seem to be strange coincidences connected with Poppy (JFK ala Family of Secrets, Reagan getting shot, etc.)

7. Somebody did - he offended their religious sensibilities.
And I don't mean the shooter - he was just a pawn.

10. The Bush Crime Family had the FBI stalking John in the 70's
They tried to deport him from the US based on a decade old pot bust. After John won his court battle, that's when he took a break from his career and was basically silent for 5 years. Then in 1980 he emerged with a new hit album in the fall of 1980, exactly when the Bush Crime Family was preparing to swindle their way back into power. They didn't want John Lennon stirring up any protests in the 80's. :evilfrown:

16. I'd like to add Cesar Chavez' name to this group as well.


He caused a lot of change in his time but he, too, died too soon.
