World Vision is a front group funded by USAID, so by extension is a CIA operation.

The attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan and the assassination of John Lennon occurred within three months of each other. Both events benefited the political influence of former CIA head George HW Bush, and the two men who executed both events had direct ties to World Vision.

John Hinckley Jr.:

John Hinckley Sr., or "Jack," became involve with World Vision in 1978. Two and a half years later, his son, John Hinckley Jr, would shoot President Ronald Reagan. It's worth noting that the Hinckley family has always had strong connections to the Bush family. The day after the shooting, ABC News reported on national TV that HW Bush's son, Neil Bush, and Hinckley Jr's brother, Scott Hinckley, had intended to have dinner together in Denver the next night.

The day after the shooting, at a press conference, Neil Bush confirmed Scott Hinkley had also been present at his Denver home a couple of months prior for Neil's surprise birthday party.

If the population of the US in 1981 was 227 million, then the odds of these two men knowing each other by coincidence is exactly 1 in 227 million. Yet this story was quickly suppressed by the mainstream media.

I did a long dig on the Bush and Hinckley family connection last year. Each bullet in this post is a boom: https://greatawakening.win/p/16bPjFcTvH/dig-using-cia-tactics-vice-presi/

Hinckley Sr's connection to World Vision is documented in press releases from the era, including WaPo. World Vision has always been heavily funded by USAID, and still is.

Given the ample evidence of historic Bush/Hinckley connections in my previous post above, it's undeniable that the Hinckley family rendered services to HW Bush and his family. HW Bush was the head of the CIA, and USAID is now provably a CIA slush fund that utilized the services of Hinckley Sr under the cover of World Vision, so we have a stronger case that the Hinckley family were CIA assets.

This case is reinforced by the fact that around the time of the Kennedy assassination, John Hinckley Sr. and his son, Scott Hinckley (the friend of Neil Bush in Denver), were operating their oil company, Vanderbilt Energy, out of the Republic Bank Building in Dallas, Texas. This building housed many entities connected to the CIA, including the office of Russian "baron" George de Mohrenschildt, who was close friends with both George HW Bush and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mark David Chapman:

The murderer of John Lennon, Mark David Chapman (because they always have three names), was born into an Air Force family in Ft Worth, Texas. His childhood was rocky and he turned to drug use during his teenage years. He was emotionally unstable but found his footing in humanitarian work through Christian/Presbyterian foundations.

It's worth noting that Chapman lived in three notorious CIA playgrounds: Chicago, Fort Worth/Dallas, and Arkansas.

Chapman's humanitarian work led him to World Vision, which took him to Arkansas and later Lebanon. It was during his time with World Vision that he met multiple US government officials including sitting president Gerald Ford.

While his meeting with Ford is not proof of CIA involvement, it minimally qualifies as consistent with claims by past MK Ultra assets who strangely had direct or proximate contact with sitting US presidents. Admittedly, it is odd that "lone nuts" like Hinckley and Chapman happen to be associated with CIA front groups and also fall into orbit with US presidents, while very few of us know a single person who has shaken the hand of a US president (excluding the people's president, Donald Trump).

After Chapman murdered John Lennon, he mailed a letter to the NY times stating that he intended to kill other celebrities, including president Ronald Reagan. Perhaps he was a reserve asset for the CIA's Reagan assassination attempt.

Why would Lennon have been a target for the CIA? Lennon had outlived his usefulness as a Tavistock counterculture asset, and it was becoming known that he began repudiating his past radical left-wing positions and turned his support to the one man who was actively derailing HW Bush's political interests, Ronald Reagan. In 1979, a figure of massive cultural influence like John Lennon throwing his support behind candidate Reagan would have been devastating to the interests of HW Bush and the CIA.

John Lennon's former assistant, Fred Seaman, famously admitted Lennon's support of Reagan in 2011 in an interview with the Toronto Sun:

John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on Jimmy Carter.

I also saw John embark in some really brutal arguments with my uncle, who's an old-time communist... He enjoyed really provoking my uncle... Maybe he was being provocative... but it was pretty obvious to me he had moved away from his earlier radicalism... He was a very different person back in 1979 and '80 than he'd been when he wrote 'Imagine.' By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy's naivete.

The press reported that Chapman's mental illness was fueled by Christian extremism, a ridiculous left-wing boogeyman that only leftists take seriously. This detail alone should arouse suspicion that Chapman was groomed for a CIA task. "Christian extremism" is pure astroturf fakery since it ideologically contradicts Christian values at a fundamental level.

Conclusion:

Those who lived through this period in 1980 and 1981 always associated these two events emotionally. Using the data above in tandem with recent revelations about USAID, we can now also link them through causation and motive.
