John Lennon's death

This has been confirmed to me by James Richards, a researcher of the Kennedy Assassination and an expert on the Cuban Exiles. In the Bay of Pigs, many anti-Castro Cubans died or were taken prisoner. A man named San Jenis was a survivor. The Cuban exiles now wanted to kill Kennedy for not providing air cover and because if Castro could be blamed for assassinating President Kennedy, that would make the United States retaliate and the Exiles could get their old Cuba back. The Mob was in on this too. They made a lot of money from those casinos.

Later, San Jenis went by the name Jose Perdomos. The CIA kept him on to do "jobs" after the Assassination. This is what Mr. Richards confirmed for me. On the night John Lennon was killed, the same Jose Perdomos was a special security guard assigned to aid Lennon in entering the Dakota, where he lived. Sometimes Lennon would be mobbed. So on the night John Lennon was killed, Perdomos didn't do his job for Lennon. When Lennon was shot, Perdomos was said to ask the creep, "Do you know what you did?" And the bastard said, "I just shot John Lennon." The creep -- I can't bear to hear or say his name -- was a "Manchurian Candidate." One Lennon website says the creep didn't shoot at Lennon at all. Lennon's autopsy reveals he was shot from the left side. I believe 4 bullets entered his body. The creep was on the right side of the entrance. This was the work of the CIA. They had a man hiding in the darkened entranceway or darkened freight elevator. That's how Lennon was shot.

Why would the CIA want to kill John Lennon? He was funding a dangerous radical leftist group. He was very popular and considered by the FBI and Intel in general as subversive. They shut him up and blamed it on that bastard.

Ironically, it was Lennon who helped us forget Kennedy's murder 17 years prior.

As a side note I read That Jhon's last words were "NO! You want Yoko! She's the one that broke up the Bea....:duck:
 
kc440, please provide credible evidence that what you say is true, regarding the specific circumstances of the shooting. Thanks.
 
I vaguely remember Perot said that he dropped out of the presidential race because a State Trooper that supported him broke the conspiracy of silence and told him that if he kept running the same Cubans the CIA used to kill JFK and RFK would kill him.

Or something. Perot said lots of crazy things.
 
From what I've read, JL was investigated by the FBI (IIRC) in 1974 when he was trying to move to the US. The feds concluded that while he talked about revolution and associated himself with people like Abby Hoffman etc, he was too stoned most of the time to be any kind of threat.
By the time of his murder by Mark Chapman, he had been living in NY for five years or so in semi retirement. He had just released a mediocre album and was re-entering the public spotlight.

As for which side he was shot: Lennon had walked past Chapman and turned to face him when he was shot.

I'll check this, but I think Perdomos was actually the Doorman at the Dakota.

ETA: Correction -- I posted that Chapman shot Lennon as he signed a copy of Double Fantasy. That was incorrect. Chapman had gotten Lennon to sign the record earlier in the day.

Piggy is everywhere but the thread I started on the cool ( if doubtful) finsrud machine...... as far as this thread goes.... Puleeeze!
 
Hi, Topspy. I have checked out the Finsrud thread. Interesting and fun stuff. I just had nothing to add there. Seemed like everyone else had covered the bases.

As for Lennon, I remember vividly the day he was shot. I had just gotten out of the shower when my brother told me through the bathroom door. I didn't believe him.

Then I listened to the radio. We were all total Beatles freaks, me and my friends, at that time, listening to our older brothers' LPs.

I was in 8th grade. That morning I was going to English class when my teacher, Mrs. Stein, saw me in the hallway, and she shook her head as she approached me and said, "I'm sorry".

So yeah, this thread caught my eye.

Cheers. -Piggy

I was 16 at the time. A huge Beatles fan and I was totally shocked by his death.

BTW the FBI had about 300 pages of info on JL compiled in the early seventies and late sixties according to the book "Come Together- John Lennon In His Time" by Jon Wiener. An interesting read if you want to get some info on the man and his politics.

Just asking because it seemed odd to me that you'd describe this as something that happened in the morning (showering, going to school, etc.) unless you were in another time zone, since it happened in the evening in NY, not in the morning.

I guess you just didn't hear about it until the next day, despite the fact that you and your friends were all "total beatles freaks" and despite the fact that this was so well known, apparently, in your elementary school that a teacher would approach you, at what, age 12 or 13, and say "I'm sorry" in the hallway.

Yeah, okay.

Got it.

Aha. I see the obvious mistake in the OP. He means James (aka Jim)Morrison, not James Richards.

I wish that was true, and am not ashamed of admitting it. Everyone I contacted when it came over the news, said the same thing: "They should have shot her."

I personally have never heard of James Richards, so I don't know how credible a source he is.
However, all your information about "Jose Perdomos" seems to come from James Richards. So did he comfirm it for you or tell it to you?

Who is this "Kennedy" you speak of?

I didn't make us forget about it! If anything it reminded us of it.

When the Columbia was destroyed on re-entry, I thought about the Challenger disaster almost twenty years before.

When Regan was shot I thought about the Lennon shooting.

My father tells me of how when MLKjr. and RFK were killed people thought about when JFK was shot.

When my grand-uncle was alive he told me how the Kennedy assassination reminded him of when FDR died.
