John Lennon Insiders Debate The Legacy Of Yoko Ono | Fred Seaman vs. Elliot Mintz

Geraldo's ego coupled with his arrogance is exasperating.

Elliott is a snake. They are trying to plant doubt that Fred even knew John well. Yoko is a master manipulator. Geraldo should have been more objective. But Yoko has him in her pocket. No one is saying John didn’t love Yoko. The point is that Yoko tired of John but she did need him to be revenant. My two cents.

[@jesse2d]

Yoko not only caused trouble for John, she caused trouble for the Beatles, Julian, Cynthia, John's family, May Pang etc etc. And the most trouble she caused was in the minds of the public who had to watch her intrusion into their beloved band and had to listen as she corrupted the beauty of songs and performances with her non lyrical screeching and esoteric dramatizations which were an attempt to draw attention to herself. This supposed "artist" never seemed able to communicate with the public and just used John to get the attention fix she needed as she could never derive that kind of popularity herself.

[@charwest9449]

Yes, well said. She robbed the world of beauty and superimposed her own ugly attention seeking behavior, taking off her clothes and screeching. Interesting how the minute she landed Lennon and finally had the funds you do whatever she wanted, she dropped her "art" like a hot potato to try and become a pop star. She shoved Lennon out of the way with May in 1973. She only reeled him back when she failed abysmally. And interesting how when she bought art she went for the expensive stuff, old masters, Egyptian artifacts, stuff to buy and sell and make MONEY off - NOT performance art or conceptual art like she had done with her ridiculously high price tags. You'd think if she really loved that stuff she would support it! This shows it was always all about the money and bratty attention.

@johnnytheg, everything you have said is true. Yoko turned on Fred Seaman, a very decent and good man, because he attempted to tell people the truth.

[@thebeingbecoming3596]

The reason why Fred Seaman took John's journals was out of respect for John's own wishes. Lennon wanted his journals to be given to his older son Julian Lennon in the event that anything happened to him because he knew that Yoko hated Julian and would try to cut him out in multiple ways. Mr. Seaman had to plead guilty to the charge of felony theft because he had no way of proving John's wishes since he was dead. But Fred Seaman is not a thief or a liar - he is actually an honourable man who tried to honour John's wishes even after John's death. Yoko Ono IS an evil and manipulative person. Period.

[@wilhelmhagberg4897]

If he cared for John’s wishes he wouldn’t have published this book. True or not, the John and Yoko magical love story is clearly the image John wanted the world to see.

[@thebeingbecoming3596]

@@wilhelmhagberg4897 No, thats bullshit. John was just protecting his career and his business. Had he lived he would have eventually left that crazy old hag. He wanted his son to have his journals so that Yoko wouldn't be able to grandstand on his musical legacy. Giving his journals to his son was his way of ensuring the truth came out about Yoko. Unmasking her publicly is exactly what he would have wanted, and Mr. Seaman is a true friend for ensuring that happened. He didn't profit from the book the way people claim he did.

[@barbaraaraujo7700]

Fred Seaman didn't take Lennon's diary with bad intentions. John Lennon wanted his firstborn son Julian to have his diaries, and Yoko prevented Julian from obtaining them, because she didn't want to acknowledge Julian as John's firstborn child, and has said as much by calling Julian a "mistake", and has claimed that Sean is John's "true firstborn", because he was "wanted and planned". Not even over John's dead body would Yoko give Julian personal evidence that John actually did loved him, and fell out of love with Yoko, but stayed with her because he couldn't function as an adult without supervision or personal assistants, and Yoko had a death grip on every aspect of his life. Yoko doesn't want to public to know that her and John's "legendary love" was a facade, a farce, to prop up her failing "art career".

[@barbaraaraujo7700]

By the way, Fred Seaman's book has been confirmed by several other books, in particular by DAKOTA DAYS: The true story of John, written by John Green. John Green was the tarot reader for John and Yoko and closed friend in the last 5 years of John’s life. The book quotes Yoko extensively and the quotes are based on his taped conversations with her. The book addresses areas of John's and Yoko's lives -- Yoko's outrageous addiction to superstition, Lennon's depression in the mid-to-late 1970s, etc. -- that Lennon worshippers don't want anyone to know about. In fact, Dakota Days is a very good and extremely readable book which fully exposes Yoko's craziness, some of the problems that plagued the Lennons' marriage, and the creative impotence that tormented Lennon in the late 1970s.

Also maddening is that because Yoko own's John estate, she blocked photographers and film editors from showing her bed was kept in an obvious area of Apple studios. Previously the Beatles decided not to record with their wives/girlfriends in the studio, but John was under Yoko's power. In another interview, Fred mentioned that John Lennon wanted Julian to have his Journals when he passed. Apparently John told Fred that he was concerned Yoko would not give them to Julian. So Fred took them out of the Dakota to copy. Before he could return them Yoko found out and had Fred arrested. Julian said in an interview, that he had to purchase many things from Yoko that were his, like postcards that Julian sent to John, and a guitar John wanted him to have. Yoko took decades (and probably a lawsuit) to distribute Julian's fair share of the will to him. So sad. Also heartbreaking that Yoko tried to block Paul and John's friendship by filtering calls, & blocking any messages. Evidence also leads to the possibility that Yoko alerted Japanese authorities that Paul had marijuana in his luggage. A few days before Paul was arrested he visited John and mentioned he was bringing it to Japan. Yoko considered Paul a threat.

[@deano.7533]

@@MeanMrMayo - Hardly. By NOT suing Yoko is definitely giving far more credibility to the veracity of the books in question. By failing to sue Yoko definitely validates the content in the books as well. Based on the fact that IF she actually had a case she could prove that the content in the manuscripts were false and misleading in a way that is almost bullet proof. Therefore proving that the books are not worth buying or even worth checking out of a public library for free. If Yoko sued for slander or defamation of character she would be able to legally demonstrate that those books are full of lies. But Yoko can't do that (because the books are accurate) so she is stuck with using a skeevy Hollywood publicist to at best create a weak smokescreen on her behalf. Yoko's reputation for suing people (for instance) over claims of theft and so forth that later turned out to be frivolous lawsuits where the items in question had actually been misplaced in storage has been well established for many years now. Yoko sues over everything and anything. So her unwillingness to sue over memoirs that uncover serious deceptions in the John and Yoko mystique is very telling indeed. If the truth were on Yoko's side she could sue and legally destroy any credibility the books have garnered over the years since they have been available for public consumption. Yoko could have also legally taken the books out of print forever. Instead Yoko pays her publicist to cast dispersions against the authors character and she sends thugs from the NYPD to assault Fred Seaman. Yoko is behaving more like a politician caught in the web of her own lies. She pays people to publicly talk smack. But that's about it. As far as all of Yoko's supposed witnesses you speak of? If what these people are saying were true then all the more reason to put those people on the stand to tell the truth under oath which establishes serious penalties for committing perjury. Then (if successful) Yoko would be demonstrating that her side of the story was the true and correct one. But Yoko fails miserably to do just that. These books are still in print and people are still reading them and making up their own minds in regards to what they believe is the truth. This is a true and correct lesson in COMMON SENSE. You have obviously failed to prove your position with your commentary. Just like Yoko willingly fails to prove her position by putting a very small percentage of her vast fortune where her mouth is by taking these people to court to prove that her so called fairy tale legacy with John Lennon is indeed the truth of the matter.

John was selling an album. He had a vested interest in keeping the John and Yoko mystique alive. Nobody would buy "Double Fantasy" if John gave an interview telling the truth about his unhappy relationship with Yoko. A lot of what Fred Seaman say's goes along with what many others have said over the years. Yoko did force Julian to purchase a slew of beloved keepsakes that belonged to his father that were meant for Julian. Julian has said that publicly. That he had to pay Yoko a fortune to take possession of property that had already been earmarked for him by his father. Julian said that Yoko even forced him to buy a collection of letters written by both he and John that meant the world to him. Yoko is of the serpents seed. She's always been a horrible "person". You have to do a deep dive into all things Beatles. Especially Cynthia Lennon's memories in regards to how she and John met Yoko. John and Yoko always talked about how they met at an art showing of Yoko's in London. But what they never clued people in on was the so called "art gallery" was actually a $A'TAN IC OCC ULT Bookstore called - The Equinox - that was originally owned by the infamous Aleister Crowley. At the time when John met Yoko it was owned by Paul McCartney. Later on Paul sold the store to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Paul was the reason why Yoko got the gig at The Equinox in the first place. John would speak about Yoko's "avante garde" art in the "gallery" as "Some hammer nail thing" and "a ladder piece with an apple and a positive message written on the ceiling." Yoko's art was not so much "Avante Garde" as it was deeply SAY TAN IC in nature. Neil Aspinall (long time Beatles insider) said in regards to The Fab Four... "The Beatles are incredibly antichrist. I know because I am also antichrist. But they're so antichrist it scares me." Nothing on the surface of accepted Beatles folklore is actually the truth. It's all street theater. When you listen to Cynthia Lennon speaking frankly about when Yoko first appeared in her marriage to John she paints a picture of a man (John) who suddenly wasn't anything at all like the man she married. What Cynthia was talking about wasn't really about how Yoko stole John from her. What Cynthia has alluded to in at least a couple interviews was how Yoko took control of John. If you try to understand how SAY TAN ISM works you would realize that John and The Beatles were into something that destroyed the band, (when there was no further use for the band) then it destroyed John's solo career, and then it destroyed everything else after that. Yoko didn't start controlling John in the last five years of his life after Sean was born. Yoko controlled John the moment he participated in the ladder ritual at The Equinox. When he climb that ladder and took a bite out of that apple Yoko Ono officially became John Lennon's handler. Which was always far more important to Yoko then being John's wife. The truth is something that you have to dig for. The official story is always a con job that is designed to keep the normy multitudes interested in believing and buying. :-I

The reason why her singing sounds like the wailing of a witch is because she is one. A normal person cannot make this sound, it is impossible. Yoko used to go to witches meetings in New York, driven there by her chauffeur. In Peter Jackson's 'Get Back' she appears to be just quietly sitting in the room, what she is actually doing is training powerful occult energy on John Lennon. A suitably gifted medium, psychic or shaman would be able to perceive this, conventional people would not.
