As the world community increasingly understands that “Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives,” as legendary human rights defender, singer/songwriter John Lennon once said, one can still see many people who find ‘Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed,’ as he also asserted. The life of John Lennon clearly showed signs Targeted Indivudals experience, from his being one of the most compassionate persons working for the betterment of humanity, to being secretly targeted, gangstalked and assassinated. Lennon’s works toward a more just world were reflected in his rebellious nature against the violent status quo, as demonstrated through his political and peace activism. He moved to Manhattan in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in Richard Nixon’s lengthy attempt to deport him as the anti-war movements were adopting some of his songs as their anthems. Lennon’s charisma and influence were sweeping the globe. [Watch video of John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the TV interview below.] As of 2012, Lennon’s solo album sales in the U.S. alone exceeded 14 million. As writer, co-writer or performer, he had 25 number-one singles on the US Hot 100 chart. In 2002, a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted him eighth. In 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer of all time. In March 1969, Lennon and Ono used their honeymoon for a “Bed-In for Peace” at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel, attracting worldwide media ridicule. At a second Bed-In three months later at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Lennon wrote and recorded Give Peace a Chance, quickly used as an anti-war anthem sung by a quarter of a million demonstrators against the Vietnam War in Wa. DC, on Nov. 15, the second Vietnam Moratorium Day. That Dec., they paid for billboards in 10 cities around the world that declared, in national language, “War Is Over! If You Want It.” Later that year, Lennon and Ono supported efforts by the family of James Hanratty, hanged for murder in 1962, to prove his innocence. Those who condemned Hanratty were, according to Lennon, “the same people who are running guns to South Africa and killing blacks in the streets. … The same bastards are in control, the same people are running everything, it’s the whole bullshit bourgeois scene.” In London, Lennon and Ono staged a “Britain Murdered Hanratty” march and a “Silent Protest For James Hanratty,” and produced a 40-minute documentary on the case. At an appeal hearing years later, Hanratty’s conviction was upheld after DNA evidence matched. His family continued to appeal in 2010. In 1971, Lennon and Ono showed solidarity with Clydeside UCS workers’ work-in by sending a bouquet of red roses and a £5,000 check. After moving to NY City in August that year, they befriended two of the Chicago Seven, Yippie peace activists Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman.[197] Political activist, John Sinclair, poet and co-founder of the White Panther Party, was serving ten years in prison for selling two marijuana joints after previous convictions for drug possession. In Dec. 1971, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 15,000 people attended the John Sinclair Freedom Rally protest and benefit concert with contributions from Lennon and others including some that, according to Congressional documents show ere on the FBI Cointelpro targeted individual list, such as Jerry Rubin and the Black Panther Party. Lennon and Ono, backed by David Peel and Rubin, performed songs including “John Sinclair”, whose lyrics called for his release. The day before that rally, the Michigan Senate passed a bill significantly reducing penalties for possession of marijuana. Four days later Sinclair was released on an appeal bond. After the Bloody Sunday incident in Northern Ireland in 1972, in which 14 unarmed civil rights protesters were shot dead by the British Army, Lennon said that given the choice between the army and the IRA (who were not involved in the incident) he’d side with the latter. Lennon and Ono wrote two songs protesting British presence and actions in Ireland: Luck of the Irish” and Sunday Bloody Sunday. In 2000, David Shayler, a former British domestic security service MI5 agent suggested Lennon had given money to the IRA, swiftly denied by Ono. Lennon and Ono then became financial producers of the film The Irish Tapes, a political documentary. According to FBI surveillance reports (confirmed by Tariq Ali in 2006) Lennon was sympathetic to the International Marxist Group, a Trotskyist group formed in Britain in 1968.In 1973, Lennon contributed a limerick, Why Make It Sad To Be Gay? to Len Richmond’s The Gay Liberation Book. After the strong impact of Give Peace a Chance and Happy Xmas (War Is Over), both associated with the anti–Vietnam War movement, the Nixon administration tried to deport Lennon. It was rumored that Lennon was involved in a planned concert in San Diego during the Republican National Convention. Nixon believed Lennon’s anti-war activities could cost his re-election. Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond suggested in a Feb. 1972 memo that “deportation would be a strategic counter-measure.” In 1972, Bob Dylan wrote to the INS, defending Lennon. That letter reflects the nature of today’s Targeted Individuals. Dylan stated: “John and Yoko add a great voice and drive to the country’s so-called art institution. They inspire and transcend and stimulate and by doing so, only help others to see pure light and in doing that, put an end to this dull taste of petty commercialism which is being passed off as Artist Art by the overpowering mass media. Hurray for John and Yoko. Let them stay and live here and breathe. The country’s got plenty of room and space. Let John and Yoko stay! (Emphasis added.) The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) soon began deportation proceedings, using his 1968 misdemeanor conviction for cannabis possession in London as grounds. On 23 March 1973, the INS ordered Lennon to leave the US within 60 days. Lennon’s last act of political activism was a statement supporting the striking minority sanitation workers in San Francisco on 5 Dec. 1980. He and Ono planned to join the workers’ protest on 14 Dec. Around 10:50 pm on 8 Dec. 1980, as Lennon and Ono began to enter their New York apartment, Mark David Chapman shot Lennon in the back four times. At the nearby Roosevelt Hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival at 11:07 pm. Earlier that evening, Lennon had autographed a copy of Double Fantasy for Chapman. David Chapman: Links to Manchurian candidate, CIA Project MKULTRA Chapman remained at Lennon’s death scene reading J. D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye until police arrived and arrested him. He repeatedly said the novel was his statement. The bench favored Chapman’s attorney Jonathon Marks’ motion to enlist three psychiatrists to provide opinions on Chapman’s mental competence to stand trial. The first was Dr. Milton Kline, a N.Y. prestigious clinical psychiatrist, hypnosis authority, esteemed consultant to the CIA on creating programmed killers while president of American Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, true believer in the “Manchurian Candidate” killing concept, who boasted of his capacity to create a hypnotically-driven patsy in three months, a mind-controlled assassin in six. The second psychiatrist Marks chose to evaluate Chapman was Dr. Bernard Diamond from Univ. of California at Berkeley, “a busy hive of illicit mind control experimentation in past decades,” investigative reporter Alex Constantine writes. Dr. Diamond provided the same service to Sirhan Sirhan. After his trial, the accused killer of Robert Kennedy told another psychiatrist, Dr. Eduard Simson-Kallas, a clinical psychologist assigned to the case, that he distrusted Dr. Diamond: “Whatever strange behavior I showed in court was the result of my outrage over Dr. Diamond’s and other doctors’ testimony. They were saying things about me that were grossly untrue, nor did I give them permission to testify [on] my behalf in court.” The third psychiatrist Marks entrusted to evaluate Chapman’s sanity was Dr. Daniel Schwartz, forensic psychiatry director at King’s County Medical Center in Brooklyn. Dr Schwartz had examined accused serial killer David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz, offering that the Berkowitz believed he’d been commanded by “demons” to kill. Chapman had also been pushed by “demons” to shoot John Lennon, Dr. Schwartz opined in court. He testified that Chapman admitted, “I can feel their thoughts. I hear their thoughts. I can hear them talking — but not from the outside, from the inside.” Up to the moment Chapman killed Lennon, he’d continued operating under the belief or believes that forces outside of him, supernatural or otherwise, determined his behavior.” [4] The diagnosis was nearly identical to the one he gave Son of Sam. Chapman’s legal team put forward an insanity defense based on expert testimony that he was in a delusional and possibly psychotic state at the time. Near the trial, Chapman told his lawyer he wanted to plead guilty to second-degree murder, based on what he had decided was God’s will. After Chapman denied hearing voices, Judge Edwards, with no further psychiatric assessment, allowed his plea and sentenced him 20 years to life imprisonment, stipulating mental health treatment. As of 2014, he remains in prison after denied parole seven times. Dr. Dorothy Lewis, a Yale School of Medicine psychiatric researcher and consultant to Marks reported Chapman might have acted in response to a “command hallucination.” British barrister Fenton Bresler, in Who Killed John Lennon?, asks, “Could any term be more appropriate for a disturbed man operating under hypnotic programming?” The CIA’s obsession with mind control since the Cold War led Constantine to write, “Agency psychiatrists were eminently capable of transforming a hyper-religious nobody on the board of the Decatur, Georgia YMCA into a programmed killer, and the allegation has been made repeatedly since Lennon’s murder.” Constantine cites Chapman’s World Vission-CIA links: “Mind control researchers have long pointed to Chapman’s relationship with World Visions, an evangelical charity that boasted John Hinckley Sr., CEO of Vanderbilt Energy Corp., an oil exploration company, on its board. Hinckley was a close friend of George Bush, one path to the CIA.” beforeitsnews/alternative/2014/08/john-lennon-was-gangstalked-his-killer-mind-controlled-3004984.html
