October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980 was the life of John Lennon.  Today was his birthday.  If he were alive today, surely he’d have some satirical commentary on our Presidential Elections, the Stock Market fiasco, etc.  A few pertinent inspirational statements for today’s hot button subjects previously quoted from Lennon in conversation or song, might include something like these—

On Lennon’s own Death:  “Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn’t enough and you have to go and get shot or something. ”

On Sarah Palin: “As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.”

On Society:  “Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.  I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.”

On Conspiracies like 9-11 & UFO’s:  “The more I see the less I know for sure.”

On Drowning in Debt:  “When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.”

On Social Security:  “The older generation are leading this country to galloping ruin!”

On Home Foreclosure:  “Possession isn’t nine-tenths of the law. It’s nine-tenths of the problem.”

On Education Reform:  “There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.”

On Religion:  “You’re just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You’ve got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It’s all down to you, mate. “

The War on Terrorism;   When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun. “

On The Stock Market & Economy:  ” I don’t care too much for money, money can’t buy me love. ”

On John McCain:  “Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.”

On Obama:   ” I get by with a little help from my friends ”

On Bush:  “…you know it ain’t easy.  You know how hard it can be.  The way things are going, they’re going to crucify me.:

On Dick Chaney:  “There’s room at the top, I’m telling you still but first you must learn how to smile as you kill if you want to be like the folks on the hill.”On President Bill Clinton:  “Whatever gets you through the night.  It’s alright.  It’s alright.”

On Hillary Clinton:  “I am going into an unknown future, but I’m still all here, and still while there’s life, there’s hope. “

On Darfur:  “All we are saying is give peace a chance.”

On Global Warming: “We are all water from different rivers, That’s why it’s so easy to meet. We are all in this vast, vast ocean.  Someday we’ll evaporate together.” 

On The Paparazzi:  “Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they’ve sold their papers and got big circulation’s, they say, ‘Look at what we’ve done for you.'” On Elvis:  “Everybody loves you when you’re six foot in the ground.”

On Brittany Spears:  “”Nobody controls me, I’m uncontrollable.” 

http://www.lennonmurdertruth.com/ is a web site that believes that the murder of John Lennon was orchestrated and premeditated somehow with government authority.   The site states, “Contrary to all reports about a lone drifter named Mark David Chapman who allegedly shot John Lennon in the back December 8, 1980 you’ll find ample evidence in the back issues of Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Reportmagazines to suggest otherwise. Namely, that John Lennon was, not only politically assassinated, but that Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and, you’d better sit down, horror novelist Stephen King are the three people who can be proven guilty of the crime. King being the real murderer and Chapman but a look-alike, paid actor misleading you with an absolute hoax, the media in tow.” 

Steven King?  The author goes on to say that ,” I feel like I’m talking to a bootlicking, phony moron.
As if the media never told them a big, fat lie in their life; as if the media was trustworthy.
As if the assassinations of the 60’s didn’t teach us that our govt. is afraid of anyone who
actually wants to implement America’s freedoms, documents, rights and philosophies.
As if the majority of Americans don’t think that those assassinations were coverups. You
cowards cringe from the latest book about R.F.K.’s murder that exposes 12 bullet wounds.
You persist in keeping your heads down and your mouths shut while you set up the next list
of martyrs who want to make the world a better place.” 

If your really interested -you’re invited to protest with Steve Lightfoot, author of the website “Who really killed John Lennon, this Oct. 9, John Lennon’s birthday, at ABCTV’s Bldg. at W.67th and Columbus Ave., N.Y.N.Y., all day, from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. 

At http://www.whale.to/b/lenn.html claims are made that “CIA director, Tavistock underling and then vice-president George Bush Sr. had Lennon slaughtered on the streets of New York utilizing yet another mind-controlled Delta slave Mark David Chapman. Mark Chapman is the victim of an artificially induced model psychosis.” 

Wierd thing is, that in all thisconspiracy jumbo, that both John Hinckley and Mark David Chapman were each carrying on their person a paperback copy of the JD Salinger novel, Catcher in the Rye.  Reportedly,  Salinger had ties to the US intelligence community, especially the CIA.

I never read the book and don’t know much except, today was his birthday and John Lennon is dead.
