John Lennon was murdered by Nixon...Reagan...and Stephen King?!!!11

[jus_the_facts]

....don't know if you all have heard this conspiracy lunacy...but thought I'd share this bizarre story and ask for your thoughts...or should I say DUzy's!!! :tinfoilhat:

In Summary:
The story about Mark Chapman is a cover-up. Bold print government cryptographic codes that include the killer’s face and true identity, the killer’s alleged name and letter to the editor printed before the murder and Richard Nixon’s book, The Real War, in back issues of Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report magazines printed before, during, and after the night of December 8, 1980 prove that Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan arranged for the author Stephen King, then barley famous, to assassinate John Lennon. That King’s writings draw, dramatically, from the crime and that he taunts us all in his interviews and comments only makes this the story of a lifetime. My 24-page booklet contains everything you've seen here and much more. Please order your copy. I guarantee it is the absolute truth about what really happened to John Lennon. Happy Code Cracking

[The Straight Story]

1. I thought it was Professor Plum with the candlestick

But it was Nixon all along! Damn, I feel dumb now.

[graywarrior]

2. I wonder if Stephen is aware of that

[jus_the_facts]

6. This nutjob says Stephen has written him personally....

....trying to bribe him to keep quiet....all there on the website. :rofl:

:hi:

[graywarrior]

8. I'll ask him when I see him again.

Bwahahahahhahahahah!

[jus_the_facts]

10. Yes indeed....

....give him my best too...please and thanks! :)

[graywarrior]

13. I'll direct him here, but I know what he'll do....just stare at me and nod

[jus_the_facts]

20. LMAO....

....classic! :D

[graywarrior]

35. He told me once that he's not the tinfoil hat wearer in the family...some else fills that role.

LOL

[Ian David]

3. Damn. There goes my Clive Barker theory. n/t

[LoZoccolo]

4. Me and a friend of mine used to lol @ that.

My favorite part was where he said that Yoko's security guards pushed him down the stairs!

[elocs]

5. I believe that John Lennon's drug consuming lifestyle would have killed him long before now.

Also, Lennon had been a violent man who believed that karma would cause him to die violently. You have to admit one thing--he and Yoko were the masters of PR. Our presidential candidates should be so good.

[Echo In Light]

9. His "drug consuming lifestyle?"

I know many, many people, yet doubt I could cite one who doesn't use some form of drug or another, and have for decades. Just sayin'...

Beyond that, I wholeheartedly disagree with that particular sentiment, although I will agree that he was fortunately very PR savvy.

[Elaborate Liberal]

11. Your right

He's one of those rock stars that pushed his body to the limit..probably would have gave out before turning 50

[jus_the_facts]

18. If that's true...then how do you explain THIS one....

:D

[Elaborate Liberal]

21. Total freak of nature

Actually they have spare parts shipped from china...whenever he needs an Organ hes good to go

[jus_the_facts]

32. LOL...Welcome to DU!!

:hi:

[Echo In Light]

22. Faustian bargain

:silly:

[wtmusic]

24. Cigar store Indian.

Those things last forever!

[MorningGlow]

15. Not at all

What made his murder even sadder (if that was at all possible) was that Lennon had "cleaned up his act" and had been a househusband for several years, and was the primary caregiver for his and Yoko's son Sean. He was experiencing a renaissance in his home life and in his professional life (with the completion of Double Fantasy). He had overcome his alcoholism and made it and doing hard drugs a thing of the past. I often wonder what other great songs he would have produced in the '80s and beyond, had he lived.

[Echo In Light]

17. Can we define "hard drugs?" I don't label pot or LSD that way

...and I'm unaware of what other drug habits he had - pills, presumably. But "hard" drugs like H or coke? If he had went that route I was unaware of it.

[MorningGlow]

28. Yes, I believe he did

I'm pretty sure he dabbled in heroin at one time. Don't know about coke. Couldn't tell you where I heard/read it, though--I'm a huge Beatles fan and picked up a lot of info over the years.

[Sheets of Easter]

39. He was on heroin during the "Let it Be" sessions.

That was part of the reason as to why he was so distant during the recordings (along with the other reasons). He kicked it soon after, and wrote "Cold turkey" about the experience.

[Echo In Light]

7. While it wouldn't surprise me that there was more to the story...

Given how our govt was definitely quite unfriendly to Lennon {see the recent United States VS Lennon, doc film}, due to the far reaching media platform which helped plant anti-establishment ideas to scores of people, I'm afraid laying it at the feet of Stephen King sounds a little too familiar with the ones who claim that virtually the entire canon of rock and roll culture is promoted by "the devil" to usher in the anti-Christ. {yep, in case you're unaware, there are fundies who espouse this belief...to which I say, uh, no, but to each their own}

[Elaborate Liberal]

12. Dude Take Off the Glasses! LOL

[Echo In Light]

14. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction

;-)

[Elaborate Liberal]

16. The Fight scene

In that Movie is Epic...Where he tries to make his friend put on the glasses..Its like a 1/2 hour long!

[Echo In Light]

19. Carpenter overextended it as a metaphor for how hard it is to get people to consider mass conspiracy

...and I'm not speculating; that's from the horses mouth.

[Elaborate Liberal]

23. Thanks ...I didnt catch that

[Cheap_Trick]

34. They Live is more relevant now than it was in the 80's

It's got the republicans down to a "T".

[Lautremont]

25. Back when Stephen King was "barley famous?"

What, was he doing beer commercials?

[Echo In Light]

27. LOL...do you know who author Harlan Ellison is?

{He's one of my faves} Your comment reminded me of something he said re Warner Brothers in a recent doc film about himself, DREAMS WITH SHARP TEETH:

"pay the writer:"

[Lautremont]

29. I sure do know who he is!

I'll have to see that movie - thanks for the links!

[Wilber_Stool]

30. In case you haven't heard the story

Asimov tells about Ellison, here it is at Snopes.

[jus_the_facts]

37. Another two of my most favorite writers...but Stephen..to me..is...THE KING!

:D

[stranger81]

26. The guy who writes this trash is often in Berkeley . . . . .

he drives an old van plastered with flyers and other information about this pet theory of his. He'll talk to you about this for as long as you'll listen.

Complete whackjob.

[uppityperson]

31. Stephen King was barley famous? I always thought of him more as corney

[jus_the_facts]

33. Heeheee....

...good catch!!! :D

:hi:

[raouldukelives]

36. I used to run into this guy all the time

In norcal, Santa Rosa. I bought a 5 page booklet from him for 75 cents back in 1989. Seemed like a nice guy and not kooky at all. As of late I only see him every few months in his van. The internet must be great for him and saved him all the countless hours he spent on street corners informing the masses.

[jus_the_facts]

38. Trippin'....

....love your handle too...and welcome to DU! :hi:

[noonwitch]

40. In 1980, Stephen King was already famous

He had written Carrie and a movie had been made of it.
Hell, The Shining was probably out in print at that point.

Also, King is a pretty solid liberal, sane despite the topics of his fiction, and a fan of Lennon's. Mark David Chapman confessed, and there was no reason to doubt his confession. He had been obsessed with Lennon going back to his teen years. He at times thought he was Lennon and at other times thought Jesus was telling him to kill Lennon to save kids from the dangerous, atheistic messages in his music.

It's like the "Who shot Buckwheat" skit on SNL-they do mock interviews with people from the assassin's hometown. They all say what a great guy he was, but when asked if they thought he shot Buckwheat, they all said "Yes, it was all he could talk about".
