Why did Mark David Chapman kill John Lennon?

Chapman was a patsy set up for the hit by the CIA's MK-Ultra program. Why? Because Lennon was due to win his U.S. citizenship a few months later, and they needed to eliminate the chance that Lennon would have joined the opposition to their murderous counterrevolutionary wars in Central America (esp. Nicaragua and El Salvador), just getting underway as Reagan's transition team was taking power in December 1980. Think that's nuts? Read _Who Killed John Lennon?_ by Fenton Bresler, and _The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: the CIA and Mind Control_ by John Marks. And visit ciakilledlennon.blogspot.comBecause he was crazy and said that he had "saved the world by killing John Lennon."

Did John Lennon kill anyone?

Not officially. There is an argument, most strongly advanced in the book "Who Killed JohnLennon?" by English lawyer Fenton Bresler, that the murder was the work of a rogue element of the CIA. Mark David Chapman, who confessed to the murder, is known to have had psychiatric treatment several times and Bresler notes parallels between Chapman's treatment and the experiments on mind control which were carried out under the CIA's MKULTRA programme. Of further interest is Chapman's association with WorldVision which is ostensibly a Christian charitable foundation but it is suspected of being a front for CIA recruitment of assassination teams. Of note in this regard is that WorldVision's refugee camps are believed to be where the CIA recruited Nicaraguans and El Salvadoreans for the Contras and Cubans for the Bay of Pigs operation. Of further interest is that John Hinckley Senior, father of President Reagan's would-be assassin, was the chairman of WorldVision. Like Chapman, Hinckley Junior had worked in WorldVision camps for Thai refugees in the seventies.

Did The Catcher in the Rye inspire the assassination of John Lennon?

Yes, "The Catcher in the Rye" is often cited as having inspired Mark David Chapman, the man who assassinated John Lennon in 1980. Chapman identified with the novel's protagonist, Holden Caulfield, and believed that he was enacting a form of existential justice by killing Lennon, whom he viewed as a "phony."
