Short quotes from interviews with John Lennon in 1971

I never 'imagined' this would be as true today as it was back when I was just a teen.

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends, and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it."

"If anyone can put on paper what our government and the American government, the Russians and Chinese, what they are actually trying to do and what they think they are doing ... I'd be very pleased to know what they think they're doing. I think they are all insane."

"Anybody knows that the people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people. The people are unaware. It's like they're not educated to realise that they have power. They put the politicians in power. They vote for the local Major. The people do it."

"Everybody believes that the father will fix everything. The father being the government. Government will fix everything. It is all government's fault, you know, shake a fist at the government. Well, we are the government."

"We are the Government. The People are the Government, and the People have the Power. We must make them aware of this."

Donald Trump says that he is going to fix everything.
What do you imagine John Lennon would think of Trump?

About the same as he would likely opine about Hillary.

The top quote. :-)

better to listen to the One risen from the dead than one dead hero of many who wanted to imagine but was as corrupt any other man.

OK runner, what would Jesus think of Trump?

Perhaps "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

But then, Trump's probably not really that rich - he's been bankrupt several times, taken to court many times, outsources work to China, and refuses to make public his tax returns (the norm for Presidential candidates).

But runner,
"Do You Want to Know a Secret?" Lennon (or at least The Beatles) was more famous than Jesus all "Across the Universe".

I would have thought that TO was more a fan of Lenin than Lennon.

ttbn,

I don't know about that but it was said that "Lennon read a book on Marx".

I would have thought that ttbn was more a fan of Hitler and Franco than Lennon.

Yawning....

OK runner, what would Jesus think of Trump?

Cossomby

same as he thinks of you and me Cossomby. In desperate need of forgiveness. And as for Clinton I am sure you can work it out.

I am surprised by people that take seriously the half baked drivellings of celebrities as "wisdom", especially one known for the regular consumption of hallucinogenics. While I like Lennon's music, I no more look to him for inspiration than I search for a album from Mahatma Gandhi

TO,

Not much of a response! I never have referred to anything said by Hitler or Franco about politics. Why would I like Hitler, a national socialist? People like me were the first to be purged by Hitler. Franco? A fascist twerp. I am a conservative. You don't know much at all. And, if you look to a musician for poltical advice, you are a fool. You don't even get Lenin/Lennon, dumby.

Whoopie dog poop ttbn.

You're not a Conservative you're a raving idiot with too much time on your hands! Find something else to play with.

Maybe so, but present day history is showing that waking up the people, is virtually impossible because they are asleep, distracted by dead brain TV and because they just dont give a stuff about the country.

They are soon going to get smacked awake whether they like it or not because everything that has been done behind their backs and while they have been asleep and distracted will soon start to bite and bite hard.
