Have you ever wondered if John Lennon’s death was an elaborate conspiracy? The answer to this question should be a resounding no. Unfortunately, our celebrity culture breeds this kind of insanity. A friend of mine here in Sarasota saw a van driving around that had in big letters lennonmurdertruth.com. This website is a classic example of the type of bizarre celebrity conspiracy fantasy that exists on the web. Here’s just a taste of the craziness:
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!
Evidently, Nixon and Reagan decided to kill John Lennon because of his songs and lifestyle. They hired Stephen King to do it. Not content to pull off the weirdest assassination of all time, they also published codes about the murder all over popular newspapers and magazines. The only person who has noticed the codes is a guy named Steve Lightfoot. The poor guy doesn’t understand why no one else cares.
I worry about all of you people for having to have me tell you why this is important and vital to begin with. When I started I assumed everyone would know that this expose will unleash more power to the people than at any time in our lifetimes. If you are not excited by that fact you, indeed, need my prayers too. Thank you for visiting my website. Only you can expose this story. It will never be told until you people change, first, deep inside. Don’t keep me waiting. I need your help and support. BREAK THIS STORY, PLEASE!
Yes, please break this story. I’m trying to imagine watching Anderson Cooper explain this crazy conspiracy. I’ve read it a couple of times already and I don’t think I can explain it. Why isn’t Jimmy Carter in on this elaborate plan? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by wacko theories about Lennon’s death. There are conspiracy theories about JFK, RFK, the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, and even John McCain’s time as a POW. There’s no evidence to prove any of these theories, but the lack of evidence only makes people believe more that it happened.
One of the myths about the United States government since Reagan was elected in 1980 is that government became smaller. Reagan was able to reduce the tax burden to encourage investment, but he didn’t reduce spending. As Greg Mankiw points out the federal outlays as a percentage of GDP have remained relatively the same the past fifty years.
Over the last century, the largest increase in the size of the government occurred during the Great Depression and World War II. Even after these crises were over, they left a legacy of higher spending and taxes. To this day, we have yet to come to grips with how to pay for all that the government created during that era — a problem that will become acute as more baby boomers retire and start collecting the benefits promised.
What Reagan accomplished during his first term was explaining to the American people that government was not the solution to combat a terrible economic crisis. The economy was in much worse shape in the early 80′s when Reagan became president than it is today. He certainly didn’t call call for the kind of spending Obama and Bush have been asking for the past six months.
Conservatives have never had enough votes to curtail federal spending. Once the government starts spending money it never gives up control. For the past fifty years most Americans have been apathetic. Since the New Deal the nation has been squandering the inheritance of future generations. The reality is the nation cannot afford the programs initiated during the Great Depression for more than seventy years. The Great Society tacked on a few more unsustainable programs. President Bush’s prescription drug plan was another government giveaway that is unfeasible in the long-run. After 9/11 instead waiting to find out what the recommendations of the 9/11 commission the Congress created the Homeland Security Department. If we learned anything during that attack it was that the CIA and FBI didn’t communicate. I can’t see how having three agencies is going to make that better.
It seems that liberals don’t care how much the nation spends and moderates aren’t concerned enough to take a stand. It doesn’t matter how much taxes are raised or how many speeches the president makes, the nation is headed towards bankruptcy unless their’s a significant change in our spending priorities. Higher taxes will only damage the economy. It’s time for the government to cut back.
