Dave Emory - Yoko Ono and the John Lennon Assassination
3 hours ago

David Emory is an American talk radio host and conspiracy theorist, born in New York City, based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Self-described "anti-fascist researcher", he is known for his radio show which purports to uncover neo-fascism and neo-Nazism; among his more notable claims is that the Bush family was connected to the Third Reich.

On the evening of 8 December 1980, the English musician John Lennon, formerly of the Beatles, was shot and fatally wounded in the archway of the Dakota, his residence in New York City. The alleged killer, Mark David Chapman, was an American Beatles fan who was envious and enraged by Lennon's lifestyle, alongside his 1966 comment that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus". Chapman said he was inspired by the fictional character Holden Caulfield from J. D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye, a "phony-killer" who loathes hypocrisy.

But just how much was Yoko embroiled in the plot to kill the former Beatle? And what is in her background which makes it even murkier and suspicious?
