One of the other threads brings up an excellent point. John Lennon was assassinated by Mark David Chapman in December of 1980. It was a clear Manchurian candidate murder. Similar to RFK's murder in 1968, and the attempted assassination of George Wallace. Anyway, the killing of Lennon was really killing two bird with one stone. It showed the CIA that they could utilize this type of murder and still get away with it, plus it was a run through for another attemted assassination just a few months later when John Hinckley tried to murder Ronald Reagan with VP Poppy Bu$h waiting in the wings. Reagan lived and served two terms, but he really slept through those 8 years, as Poppy really ran things, as we saw Iran/Contra and other operations such as the arming of a couple of guys named Saddam and Osama as they were fighting the Iranians and Soviets respectively. Friends then. Enemies now. Either way...LOTS of money to be made.
