Bono says it during Bullet the Blue Sky on the Boston Elevation dvd. Why? What wanted he say with that?
babyman said:^Lennon was accused of spying, right?
.......................I have still so many doubts about Chapman's true intention......I have the feeling there was a principal behind
CPTLCTYGOOFBALL said:No He wasn't accused of being a Spy but they kept tabs on him during the early-mid 70s because of his Leftist leanings. He hung out with the anti-war groups and some pretty radical Left wingers that the Goverenment didn't take kindly to- so they tried to kick him out the country for being an "undesirable" for a few years, but he fought and won the right to stay in New York.

If your into downloading torrents,goto torrentz (dot) com,search for I Killed John Lennon (353mb file).The program was aired on Channel 4 here in the UK to mark 25 years of Lennon's passing.It features Chapman's only (I think) interview from 1990 to a US journalist.It is an audio cassette interview and not visual,but it is still disturbing to listen to.It also gives a reconstruction leading up to.........

That increases my thought that John's killing has strong relationships with politics.............Mark Chapman was just a puppet in the hands of someone staying in the shadow who pulled the strings

this guy thinks you're on to something...
"war is over" is a reference to lennon's song Merry Xmas (war is over)... lennon was an avid anti-war campaigner in the states. there's no hidden meaning there.
HelloAngel said:Chapman was and is an obsessed fan of Lennon. He is also certifiably insane. I seriously doubt he was a patsy for a larger conspiracy.
HelloAngel said:I've always taken the speech about gun control and how America is, due to the proliferance of gun violence in this country, making war on itself.

Miricale_Drug said:americas making war with itself. Post 11/9 this is a logical statement, America has caused war to be brought upon itself through disgusting foreign policy. but pre... america was still doin it,so there is an explanation. America has taken part in many wars that have been unnecessary, a lot of the time it has even helped finance these people in the past, such as Bin Laden
Which goes along with the "More bodybags than Vietnam" bit.GretzkyU2Yanks said:"America is Making war with itself" is a pretty straightforward statement saying that even IF there are no international enemies, Americans are killing themselves at rates and numbers high enough to be considered a war with itself.

I am not necessarily a conspiracy theorist . . . but I won't entirely rule it out, either.
But think about it . . . if you are gonna choose a patsy, wouldn't you want it to be someone whom no one would listen to if he started pointing fingers? Someone who could more easily be brushed off as a deranged lunatic?
I'm not making any accusations - - I'm just sayin' . . .

Where are you from, Miracle_Drug?
I don't want to go into discussion about this subject (it would be entirely offtopic, too), but I just want to note that's not what Miricale_Drug said.GretzkyU2Yanks said:Im not saying I agree or disagree with how you feel about US foreign policy and whether the US brought 9/11 upon themselves (I guess Londoners deserved the bomb attacks this summer also huh??).
