“Listen, if anything happens to Yoko and me, it was not an accident.”
John Lennon (1972)  [1]
To Paul Krassner

John Lennon was assassinated on 8 December 1980 outside the Dakota hotel in New York. The hotel doorman was Jose Sanjenis Perdomo, the assassin who chose the staff of Operation 40. The killing was blamed on Mark David Chapman, whose erratic behaviour could be compared to that of MKUltra patsy, Sirhan Sirhan.

Official Narrative

File:John Lennon signing a copy of Double Fantasy for Chapman.jpg
A few hours before his assassination, John Lennon signs a copy of Double Fantasy for Mark Chapman.

Mark David Chapman was a "lone nut" who, after having asking for and received Lennon's signature earlier that day, had been waiting 6 hours for him until evening. On seeing John Lennon, he called out to him (maybe[2]) before firing five shots at Lennon, which proved fatal. In court he mentioned that he was incensed by Lennon's remark that "We're more popular than Jesus".

Problems

Mark David Chapman had family linksTemplate:Explain which connect him to derivatives of the MKULTRA programme. The hotel doorman, a witness to the killing who spoke to Chapman before the police arrived was Jose Sanjenis Perdomo, a key organiser of Operation 40 (a CIA assassination squad). His name was not reported by commercially-controlled media at the time of the assassination, and quite possibly remained undisclosed for six years.[3]
