And for what it's worth, regarding MDC, in the midst of all the Paul is Dead clues, I always thought this was creepy:

John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono on Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of the legendary musician's shock murder with a call for gun control.
"The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience," tweeted the 87-year-old artist, who still lives in the Dakota building in Manhattan outside of which her husband was shot four decades ago.
"After 40 years, Sean, Julian and I still miss him. 'Imagine all the people living life in peace,'" she wrote, quoting the 1971 song she co-wrote with Lennon that became the best-selling single of his solo career.
Ono, who witnessed her husband's murder at close range, also tweeted an image of the former Beatle's shattered and bloodied spectacles, which included the words: "Over 1,436,000 people have been killed by guns in the U.S.A. since John Lennon was shot and killed on December 8, 1980."
At 40 years old, Lennon had returned to songwriting shortly before his death, having taken a five-year hiatus to raise his young son Sean.
The couple was returning home to New York's famous Dakota building across from Central Park, when disgruntled Beatles fan Mark David Chapman shot Lennon dead.
"Tell me it isn't true!" Ono cried in horror.
After Lennon's murder, Ono committed to preserve his memory, funding the construction of the Strawberry Fields memorial in New York that's become a point of pilgrimage for fans and mourners across the globe.
By mid-morning Tuesday, a shrine featuring flowers, photos and a small holiday tree had already cropped up on the "Imagine" mosaic that anchors the memorial in Central Park.
In her tweet commemorating Lennon's death, Ono included a number of hashtags including #guncontrol now and #end gun violence.

And for what it's worth, regarding MDC, in the midst of all the Paul is Dead clues, I always thought this was creepy:
Were any screechings involved?
Who?
I think we have already PLENTY of gun controls.
And all this time I though Yoko paid for the job.
Yoko can make a crystal wine glass shatter into a million little pieces, just like Ella used to do!
Can Yoko explain to us how gun control would have prevented the assassination of her husband...
She ruined The Beatles.
Perhaps I’d be more convinced if Yoko were to write and sing a song on the subject.../s
"...Who?..."
Imagine there’s no gun control
It’s easy if you try
No nanny state politicians among us
Above us only sky...
Sounds like she’s suggesting a third nuke to me.... just sayin’
In the State of NY, it is illegal to bring in a firearm without first registering it with the local authorities. So, technically, what MAY have save John was ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING STATE AND LOCAL LAW.
Consistent sub 1 MOA at 100 yards?
The murderer didn’t have a right to carry a gun. If he only was law abiding he wouldn’t have killed Paul.
Yeah, well, it turned out to be a good thing that they broke up. As four separate projects, they made way more music, and probably way better music than they could have together.
It was a net benefit in the end. They were just at that stage that it was time to break up.
If he only was law abiding he wouldn’t have killed John. I have to get off. I’m making a number of mistakes
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
RE: So, technically, what MAY have save John was ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING STATE AND LOCAL LAW.
OK, what if Mark David Chapman BORROWED a registered gun, or was himself able to register for a gun?
What if he bought a gun from the underground ( lots of shootings in the city were from guns purchased illegally ).
