Was the CIA involved in some way in John Lennon’s death?
The remarkable claim is highlighted in a new documentary on the events surrounding Lennon’s last night on earth on December 8th 1980.
The 30th anniversary is this week.
The film is called 'The Day John Lennon Died' and it carries testimonies from many who interacted with him on the day he died according to the Guardian newspaper.
Suspicion has fallen on the role of doorman, Jose Perdomo, who was the doorman at the Dakota on the fateful night.
Perdomo was a native of Cuba and the film links him to the CIA and the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.
However, it says it is unlikely he had anything to with the death of Lennon.
However, suspicion still surrounds how killer Mark Chapman got such easy access to Lennon.
Perdomo is now dead but it is now also known that the FBI harassed Lennon in every way possible and the U.S. government was deeply suspicious of him.
The film includes the recollections of a wide range of those intimately involved, and including the evidence of a policeman who arrived at the Dakota to arrest Chapman and the words of Yoko Ono about the dreadful evening.

The cia did harrass poor John mostly because of his views on drugs. However the real reason for his death is the easy access to guns in the states. Hand-guns are not allowed in the UK or Ireland not even by police. How do they manager that? Well they dont have a cowboys and Indians mentally, that demands personal justice at tha point of a gun!

It is Bullshit! My Grandfather worked as a doorman at the Dakota. He Never let anyone near the area. When John's limo pulled up he always new he was safe getting out. No one could get near him. He loved my grandfather. We have many gifts that were given to my family from John. No CIA bribes nothing happend.
