Please read John Lennon's lyrics to his biggest hit Imagine. I trust you'll find that he's talking about what the United Nations, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, The Illuminati, and the Bilderbergers are all trying to globally establish.

New World Order.

Imagine
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Hmmmm...

You may have a point here. But, what effect could one song have on a SECRET organization?

Or what he's saying is that our conflicts are a result of our division into countries, religions, and other categories. If we eliminate these devisions, we might see each other as just humans, and not a "jew" or a "black" or a "chinese" etc...

Also, about the no possessions... maybe he just understands that possessions are another way of saying money... stuff that is YOURS.. what you own. If no one owned anything, no one could fight over it and claim anything, even less conflict.

Maybe he understands that united we stand, and divided we fall. So far humanity is divided. Uniting everyone without the separation of countries doesn't HAVE to be the New World Order, although it probably will be.

The only problem with NWO is that one government is in charge of everything. It's the leaders that are the problem, not the average man.

--------------------------------

But in reality... to change something, or force people to unite is just a violation of everyone's free will.
Also, who says there is a problem with this world? What if it is the way it is for a reason? Why would you want to change it?
Does not conflict provide essential lessons for growth and understanding? Eliminating many of our divisions would create both, benefits, and detriments. Therefore, I'd prefer to not change a thing, and let the world naturally evolve and change, and I get to just watch

I'm sure if he would have written one more verse it would have been "Imagine no more governments..."

dude that song was written in like the 60's, all the hippies wanted world peace i think thats all hes trying to say.

a rallying point? Public declaration of control of a producing company or artist support.

For a big fundrasing. Do pop people write their own songs?

Lennon was a socialist/commie. He was also likely an atheist or something even more loathsome (my opinion only).

Worst of all do a search on mind control via the music biz and see all the sites claiming that the 'Beatles' were an MI5 mind control operation. Lennon ain't no angel at least he played his own part in the grand scheme he seemingly hated so much.
