<description>Brother,
Chapman was a tool used by dark forces within the U.S. government to end what they saw as a potential threat to their plans to murder hundreds of thousands of Central Americans.  The evidence is compelling.  Chapman himself was a victim of the CIA&#039;s &quot;MKULTRA&quot; program to produce programmed assassins.  He didn&#039;t - and still doesn&#039;t - have a clue about any of this because the programming was successful. We should all be turning our righteous anger at Uncle Sam&#039;s forces of darkness.  Feel free to visit my blog.</description>

<description>i do not wish death upon anyone but i do believe that the punishment should fit the crime!!!!!!
How about Chapman stays in jail indefinitely but surrounded by images of John Lennon and having John Lennon songs like Instant Karma and Beautiful boy and every other Lennon tune played at a loud enough to be irritating to him but not to others rate 24 hrs/day 7 days/ week for the duration of his waste of a life??</description>

<description>He should stay in jail forever, even after death. Killing lennon was like killing god. No punishment would ever fit this crime.</description>

<description>Has anyone read the biography &quot;The lives of John Lennon&quot;? Hypnosis features prominently in the story. There is one section where May Pang is certain that after Yoko Ono asked John Lennon to come over to her place for a cure to stop smoking, he returned to May Pang in an extremely confused and disoriented mental state. At the time May Pang suspected that John Lennon had been fed drugs and brainwashed in order that he leave her and return to Yoko. Later Lennon was to report to May Pang &quot;They&#039;d wake me up and then they&#039;d do it to me all over again..!&quot;

Yoko Ono was very much into the occult at that time. There was one Japanese fellow (I forget his name, but he&#039;s mentioned many times in the book) who believed that if a person circumnavigated the world in a westerly direction, it would assist that person in accomplishing any future projects.

Yoko Ono&#039;s family had many contacts, particularly in Hawaii. Her father was once a lawyer there and had helped many Japanese living in Hawaii. 

In 1978, Mark David Chapman suddenly left his job to travel around the world (in a westerly direction). He later spent a period in Japan. Chapman&#039;s wife was Japanese and, interestingly, also heavily into the occult (as was Yoko Ono).As I&#039;m sure you&#039;re ware, Chapman lived in Hawaii.

When Chapman was arrested he was in possession of a large amount of money that was beyond what he could have possibly earnt as a low paid security guard. There was also some suggestion that he had contacts in New York at the time of the murder, a city he later claimed to have known no-one. He also was under the influence of cocaine, the drug both John and Yoko were using at the time of Lennon&#039;s death.

Just before Lennon died, it was common knowledge that the relationship between John and Yoko was on the rocks, and a divorce was imminent. Shortly before his death, a friend and colleague had heard Yoko rage against John Lennon, saying angrily &quot;she would fix him&quot;.

Yoko Ono was also heavily into superstitions regarding numbers, times, and dates. John Lennon was shot on the same day as the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbour. It is conceivable that someone harbouring such superstitions would consider that date would might be one signifying a &quot;Japanese victory&quot;.

Incidentally, this notion of Lennon being the symbol of world peace is nonsense. John Lennon was an extremely violent man and very, very unstable and psychologically imbalanced (and whose violence was often directed at women).

Therefore, there is a very strong connection between Yoko Ono and: Hawaii (particularly Japanese living in Hawaii); hynosis; the occult; &quot;blatant greed&quot; (Yoko Ono could be described as a &#039;New age Imelda Marcos). In fact, this is a woman who had a very strong motive in eliminating John Lennon. She was also known to employ hynosis to manipulate others. 

Just days after John Lennon was assassinated, Yoko was in the recording studio laying down tracks of lennon&#039;s voice on the B-side of her own record, significantly entitled &quot;Walking on Thin Ice&quot;. Out of everyone in the studio at that time, apparently Yoko Ono appeared the only person unaffected by Lennon&#039;s recent death.

Shortly before Lennon was mudered, Yoko Ono was having a protracted affair with a colleague, Sam Greene. The two of them at one stage had a lawyer formally investigate just how much money she would receive if John Lennon and she underwent a divorce. 

Perhaps it wasn&#039;t enough?

<description>Is David Chapman still alive?  Also, did they let him out of jail for murder that was intentional and planned?

Where is he now?

Jai
