SYNOPSIS
Rethinking John Lennon’s
Assassination
The FBI’s War on Rock Stars
by Salvador Astucia, April 2004
Salvador Astucia’s research of John Lennon’s murder--on December 8, 1980--reveals that from 1968 through 1972, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI led a violent assault against opponents of American military involvement in Vietnam. The assault included the murders of Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy, and numerous rock stars. Eventually Lennon was driven into retirement. When he returned to the public eye, he was quickly killed. Astucia reports the following new information about Lennon’s murder:
-
Accused killer Mark David Chapman is completely innocent. A professional
assassin shot Lennon. Chapman’s mental faculties were compromised through
the use of hypnosis and drugs, thereby making him a perfect patsy.
- Lennon’s autopsy report exonerates Chapman. It reveals four wounds on the
left side of the body, but Chapman was reportedly standing to Lennon’s
right, a few feet behind.
- Lennon’s security was compromised by Jose Perdomo, a security guard
charged with protecting Lennon at his Manhattan home, the Dakota. Perdomo
was an anti-Castro Cuban, a group with extensive ties to US intelligence.
- Perdomo--the only known eye-witness to the crime--convinced police that
Chapman was the perpetrator, and likely planted a .38 revolver at the crime
scene to further implicate Chapman.
