What are the conspiracy theories surrounding John Lennon’s murder?Answer: Many theories surround John’s murder, as will always surround the untimely death of a controversial figure. The most popular theory is that John, who was tracked by the FBI in the early Seventies and who the US tried to deport due to his anti-Vietnam war stance, was killed by remote control. This is known as the “Manchurian Candidate” theory, after the famous 1962 film in which a war hero is programmed to assassinate a presidential candidate. This theory contends that John’s murderer was programmed by government agents, perhaps using the novel Catcher In The Rye as a signal to trigger previously-implanted orders to kill the ex-Beatle. A good summary of this theory can be found at the website of Mae Brussel
