[h=1]Happy 75th Birthday, John Lennon[/h][h=1] “I think all our society is run by insane people for insane objectives… I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal means. If anybody can put on paper what our government and the American government and the Russian… Chinese… what they are actually trying to do, and what they think they’re doing, I’d be very pleased to know what they think they’re doing. I think they’re all insane. But I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.” — John Lennon, 1968[/h]October 9, 2015—Today would have been John Lennon’s 75[SUP]th[/SUP] birthday. I’m certain everyone reading this knows why I write “would have been.”
John Whitehead of The Rutherford Institute is a constitutional attorney specializing in the defense of civil liberties and human rights. He’s written a timely essay for Lennon’s would-be 75[SUP]th[/SUP] birthday entitled “‘Neutralizing’ John Lennon: One Man Against the ‘Monster'” (the “Monster” of course being the U.S. government). Whitehead poignantly commemorates Lennon’s late-1960’s and 70’s human rights activism, and details the Orwellian harassment of Lennon by the U.S. government. He also illustrates how much more radically empowered the Monster has become since. I encourage everyone to read the essay. You can do so here.
“You gotta remember, establishment, it’s just another name for evil. The monster doesn’t care whether it kills all the students or whether there’s a revolution. It’s not thinking logically, it’s out of control.” — John Lennon, 1969
Indeed, the establishment Monster has inarguably grown more “evil,” “illogical,” and “out of control” since 1969...
