On December 8th, 1980 John Lennon was shot 4 times by Mark Chapman outside of the Dakota in New York City. Before reaching the hospital he lost 80% of his blood, and was pronounced Dead On Arrival. In November of 1980, Ronald Reagan became President-elect and George H.W. Bush was his running mate. On the day of Lennon's murder the two of them were a few short weeks away from moving into the White House. However, according to Mark and Kristi of CarpeNoctem.tv, they weren't just packing up their belongings. They must have been awaiting word on whether all had gone according to plan. And Mark Elsis, who could very possibly be the same Mark from CarpeNoctem, states very plainly that our 41st President, George H.W. Bush, authorized the assassination of John Lennon (john-lennon.net).
As a Beatles fan, this theory peaked my interest. How could I smile upon a man helping Hurricane Katrina victims with Bill Clinton when he ordered the murder of one of, if not the most famous rock stars of all time?? The thought that his son is our current President, albeit not for much longer, must really frighten today's most famous musicians. Kanye West must have been on to something when he said that George Bush (just W. this time) hates black people.
Sadly, the article didn't offer a lot of proof. It's main arguments were pretty weak. One was that Chapman didn't seem to have much of a motive. Earlier that day he had gotten Lennon's signature on a copy of their new album. When he was taken into custody after the shooting they found 14 hours worth of Beatles cassettes on him, along with the 5-shot .38 revolver. I guess I always thought he just mustn't have liked the new single. But in reality, at least according to Mark, he had been brainwashed into the killing. Lennon was a fairly outspoken individual on some topics that the right-wing Republicans didn't want to hear about. It's been said that Lennon's FBI file was over 300 pages long. He was considered and extremist, and all extremists are to be considered dangerous, as is handwritten and underlined in Lennon's file according to Mark Elsis. So rather than allow him to brainwash the youth of America with his free-thinking music, the government, authorized by then Vice President-elect Bush, brainwashed Mark Chapman to kill Lennon. 'Mean Mr. Mustard' that Bush guy is, eh?
