Back in 1973, John Lennon and Yoko Ono created a nation that might sound familiar to anyone who watched a bit of the Democrat Convention last summer. It went like this:
Imagine there is no heaven or something like that.
Nutopia is a conceptual country, sometimes referred to as a micro-nation, which was founded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on April Fools' Day in 1973. When announcing the birth of this micro-nation, the couple declared that Nutopia would have no boundaries and "no laws other than cosmic," according to the New York Times.
There is no leadership, and not all citizenships have been recorded. The population of this so-called "nation" remains unknown, as there was no leadership or citizenship recorded. This sounds amazing as a concept, doesn't it? Even the name itself suggested that there would be a new, utopian society created, which would help bring to life the lyrics of "Imagine." So why and how did Lennon and Ono come up with an idea like this, so bizarre and so unrealistic?
The whole idea of creating a new nation occurred to the power couple because, at the time, Lennon was being threatened with deportation for a 1968 marijuana conviction in Britain. Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, was equipped with permanent residence at the time, due to her former marriage with film producer Anthony D. Cox. However, Lennon was given 60 days by the U.S. immigration authorities to leave the United States. John and Yoko had requested at the time that Nutopia be admitted to the United Nations. This was Lennon's only hope to remain in the United States. And of course, this idea never really came to life and was denied as all principles forming the nation relied on an idealistic naivety.
Imagine there is no heaven or something like that.

It was Satan actually.....
Even though I’m still pissed at Yoko, I think this is a bit of a stretch. The concept of utopian life has been around way before John & Yoko.
By the time John was killed, he had become a Reagan supporter. He believed the stuff he said years before was stupid.

Which is why I've always had a suspicion that Yoko was in on the assassination.
From all indications, his son Sean seems to have his head on straight.
The song “imagine” is nothing more than the communist manifesto put to music.
I never got what he saw in her. Not attractive, no talent, sounded like a birdbrain when she talked.
