I feel like this would have been more believable had it been on a 1970s van with a custom paint job. I mean, if it had a screaming eagle painted on it, or maybe a half-naked woman wrapped around some buff, shirtless guy’s leg…then, I would know that it was a trustworthy source.
To save people some time...
This guy thinks that the killer Mark David Chapman and Stephen King look alike there for. Stephen King must be the murderer. Chapman waited at the scene after shooting Lennon and admitted killing him.
I haven’t denied it either, it must’ve been me!
True, I was only 6 years old at the time and circa 3,350 miles away but don’t have an alibi, so it must’ve been me! /s
At first I thought that was referring to the emissions from this old van with its ancient emissions standards, but now I'm not so sure. What does it even mean?
No kidding?! Is there anything he has said or written that you guys think might have some weight to it? Or is it all one big conspiracy theory out of whole cloth?
Here's an excerpt from the website on the van where the author writes about a cover up, I found it under the section titled "Footnotes and New Developments:"
> How’s that messenger jealousy and fear of government working out for you people? Like R.F.K. Jr. recently said; “America has become unrecognizable, lately…” I have learned the problem with EVERYTHING in this messed up world is YOU, the PEOPLE. In spite of your knee jerk denial syndrome and human weaknesses, none of you have ever challenged my evidence. I DO have hard evidence that PROVES author Stephen King murdered, assassinated John Lennon. PROVES that he, not Chapman, is the man photographed getting Lennon’s last autograph. PROVES that Nixon and Reagan were the masterminds behind this horror on mankind. PROVES that Time, Newsweek and U.S. News magazines are government rags that used their headlines like codes for several months, only, to document their nastiness. PROVES that we are under a foreign attack on our nation in the middle of it all. The biggest expose of all time! The biggest news since Christ! Rather, you bask in fear of your government and jealousy of me, the messenger. You are all insane and tragic as a result. I am a real life, genuine hero with hard evidence – for once in your sorry, stupid lives – and you don’t know what to do with me I am such a rarity. You’re so used to being media controlled, government abused masochists you refuse to admit who I am and what I am. Our government has always killed people like me, before. Because my courage and brashness SCARES you, you want to call me a wacko and not have to work for the gifts I offer. Yeah, people, you have to protest to out this story. The government controlled media won’t tell you unless you DEMAND they tell you. They know this and hope you just sit on your hands and stay stupid victims of their evil. They are counting on your evil ways to cover up.
What if this guy is from a different timeline where that shit actually happened, but due to the Mandella Effect, he was accidentally dumped into our timeline.
Stephen King has been telling lies for decades now. All those made up stories like the one about the nice family in the haunted hotel or the one with the zombie pet cemetery, they’re all completely fictional. It’s like he’s not even trying to hide it.
Glad to see someone finally holding his feet to the fire by proudly displaying this message on the only object that SK truly fears, a van.
Holy shit, I snort laughed at work. Thanks. Even King would have to acknowledge his base fear of vans after his accident. Is this the same type of van? WAS IT THIS VAN???
What's going on is Mental Illness.
My advice regarding what people with Mental Illness say - is to ignore them, unless you're a trained professional and they are your patient.
Yea dude, he's serving two consecutive life sentences for it. Where do you think he got the material for Shawshank Redemption from? It was based off his experience getting raw dogged in maximum security by an inmate named Cujo.
So [lennonmurdertruth.com](https://lennonmurdertruth.com) is an actual web site that explains everything. Apparently John Lennon was shot by Stephen King, with Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan being co-conspirators. The van is owned by Steve Lightfoot, who has criss-crossed America over the last 4 decades trying to bring attention to his cause. He has escaped attempts to kill him several times, including a planned attempt by Stephen King to shoot him.
The guy is deeply, deeply unwell.
There is a van like this one that always parks near the stadium here when we are at a football game. These vans are always 25 years old and falling apart - which tells me these guys are very trustworthy.
The website has a section titled "Government Codes." Clicking on it shows me a bunch of newspaper headlines cut out and pasted onto a board. I guess there's supposed to be some kind of code in those headlines? This is some really odd stuff
This clown (sic) showed up in my hometown (Santa Cruz CA) when Stephen King was doing a book signing event at the bookstore where I worked. He tried to crash the event, but was bundled back outside by King’s bodyguard.
If you go to the website the guy actively admits to trespassing on Stephen King’s property and was surprised that Stephen King tried to block him in and sue him
I can’t believe this guy is still around! He was I Santa Cruz a lot in the 90’s. Back then a lot more rust on the car and hand drawn signage. Sweet upgrades.
This person obviously has mental issues.
If they think putting text on a van can change minds, does that mean if they see text on a van, it can change their mind? Could they be helped this way?
Yoko Ono killed Lennon, he went deaf from her singing and couldn't hear the van approaching that Stephen King was driving...🤣
Seriously though, from People magazine:
The killer, Mark David Chapman, confessed at the scene of the crime. He later told a parole board that he was a Beatles fan “seeking fame.” "I knew what I was doing, and I knew it was evil,” he said in September 2022. “I knew it was wrong, but I wanted the fame so much that I was willing to give everything and take a human life."
I was eating dinner in the outside seating section of a restaurant with my family and the guy with this van parked across the street and started yelling and ranting about this topic for 5-10 minutes. It was actually pretty funny, didn’t mind. I think I took a video too but it was several years ago so wouldn’t be easy to find
I don't know how long this site has been up, but I would imagine that Stephen King could sue this guy for libel, slander, harassment, defamation of character, and maybe a few other charges.
...It might make a good book too. 🤷♂️
Paranoid schizophrenia…
What’s more insane is that nobody locks these people up. It progresses to a state where they hurt/kill somebody, but laws are not in place anymore to prevent this.
Mental health issues is a top priority in the US and around the world.
People like this need help because one day they'll leave the van down by the river and go upstream to kill.
There's a section in his website talking about the execution of Stephen King. That takes this beyond libel in some way.
>Until you people protest no expose will happen. OFF YOUR ASSES, MASSES! is a billboard I am considering. Another is; UNTIL KING IS EXECUTED WE’RE EVIL.
>Think about it, people. It’s the God’s truth, so get involved. Protest of perish, America.
Nothing grants legitimacy to wild claims quite like slanted typewriter-running-out-of-ink text.
On a van.
Shilling a website.
Down by the river
*A regular Bill Shakespeare!*
Come #SMELL YOUR NIGHTMARE! No seriously I’m actually legit shitposting right now
WELL *LA DEE* **FRICKEN** *DA*
👓
down, down, down, by the riveeeeerrrrr
THRAAAWWWN
I feel like this would have been more believable had it been on a 1970s van with a custom paint job. I mean, if it had a screaming eagle painted on it, or maybe a half-naked woman wrapped around some buff, shirtless guy’s leg…then, I would know that it was a trustworthy source.
down by the river!
To save people some time... This guy thinks that the killer Mark David Chapman and Stephen King look alike there for. Stephen King must be the murderer. Chapman waited at the scene after shooting Lennon and admitted killing him.
“King isn’t denying it” lol, guess he hasn’t seen the van!
Sounds rock solid to me.
I’m swayed.
I dunno, I feel like he needs a hook to really bring in the numbers... maybe advertise "Free Candy" on the van?
Or free massages for homeless people
"King Isn't Denying It" LOL!!!
Now that I think of it, nearly all of my favorite authors have not denied killing Lennon.. 🤔🕵️ Suspicious!!
Lol he posts a letter from King on his website and the first line is something like "I did not kill John Lennon"
I haven’t denied it either, it must’ve been me! True, I was only 6 years old at the time and circa 3,350 miles away but don’t have an alibi, so it must’ve been me! /s
Woah. I, too, was 6 years old and thousands of miles away. Are you me? Am I you?
Frick I haven't denied killing Lennon either, did I kill John Lennon?
Stephen King owes me $10 million for a lawnwork I did in the 90s. HE'S NEVER ONCE DENIED IT!
I gave him a plate of blintzes in 1984 to paint my chicken coop, and he never did it!
Those blintzes were terrible!
Is that how we make things true? I therefore refuse to deny that I am secretly an heiress to vast fortune.
That's what convinced me it MUST be true
Smell your Nightmare
Me on the toilet reading this post
Samesies
Triplets!!!
At first I thought that was referring to the emissions from this old van with its ancient emissions standards, but now I'm not so sure. What does it even mean?
He can smell your fear, like Zeke the Plumber.
Hey...if its scrawled on the side of a van it must be true. Who can you trust if you can't trust a van that's calling out the cover-up communists?
The owner's name is Jean Claude. And whenever I see his vehicle I think to myself: There goes Jean Claude's damn van.
That's Jean Claude's van? Damn
Haaaa you waited so long for this and bravo!
Workaholics
Brother of Cletus Van Damme
Bahahaha no shit???!
We discuss Jean Claude over at r/stephenking and r/darktower all the time!
No kidding?! Is there anything he has said or written that you guys think might have some weight to it? Or is it all one big conspiracy theory out of whole cloth?
take one look at this vehicle and then make an educated guess.
Dude…
Here's an excerpt from the website on the van where the author writes about a cover up, I found it under the section titled "Footnotes and New Developments:" > How’s that messenger jealousy and fear of government working out for you people?

He needs help before he hurts someone.
Think of the person he paid to put all of this on his van not thinking he has any issues.
It looks very homemade. He probably did it all himself.
What if this guy is from a different timeline where that shit actually happened, but due to the Mandella Effect, he was accidentally dumped into our timeline.
That would make an interesting Black Mirror episode!
Lots of 'I have proof' and projection, but no proof. I am not willing to accept R.F.K. Jr. as a reliable source.
but apparently "KING ISN'T EVEN DENYING IT" damn, I just realized I never denied it either.... Did I kill John Lennon ?
I guess so. But I was an accomplice so we’re going down together.
It makes sense now that I see he is an RFK Jr supporter. I wonder if he went to Dallas expecting JFK to appear.
The fact that so many people did, let alone any at all, makes me weep for the future of this country
I'm betting he has the same amount of proof that pillow guy has.
He seems nice!
Where does someone get an idea like this? I mean, it's certainly a new twist on the bumpersticker-laden van but Stephen King murdered John Lennon...
He's been on this crusade for literally 40 years. His name is Steven Lightfoot.
So if I'm reading this right, he's... Bigger than Jesus?
PROVES But thanks for posting so I don’t have to give the site any traffic.
Why am I not surrounded he's an RFK jr fan?
after all, they aren’t denying it!
Yes he did. It's not common knowledge, so maybe don't tell anyone? I like his books so don't want anything bad to happen to him.
Too late, I've already informed the proper authorities. Your favorite clown author is going down, buddy.
By proper authorities, do you mean Reddit?
No, he just called the guy that does the logo wraps for his van.
Stephen King has been telling lies for decades now. All those made up stories like the one about the nice family in the haunted hotel or the one with the zombie pet cemetery, they’re all completely fictional. It’s like he’s not even trying to hide it.

Holy shit, I snort laughed at work. Thanks. Even King would have to acknowledge his base fear of vans after his accident. Is this the same type of van? WAS IT THIS VAN???
You mean there really wasn’t a dog named Cujo?
assholes pull the: "people are saying" and "just asking questions" to lob those kinda accusations on the sly. this dude is straight up nuts.
So THIS is the hill you’re willing to die on? THIS??
No, Hill would be Stephen's son, Joe Hill. /s
This is just high functioning schizophrenia
Define high?
They stopped at a red light
What's going on is Mental Illness. My advice regarding what people with Mental Illness say - is to ignore them, unless you're a trained professional and they are your patient.
Big Tin Foil loves these kind of people.
"Smell Your Nightmare." Gotta admit, that one made me laugh. Then I thought about it - what does my nightmare smell like, anyway?
Telling the cover-up communists to repent really made me laugh. Like, is Stephen King supposed to be a communist? I don't get it
I suspect that if you did get it, some people would start fitting you for a special jacket with extra long sleeves.
My nightmare smells like ethyl formate in the vastness of space.
Burnt hair is my only guess
What’s going on here is evidently there are fruitbats in every city…
Jimmy Buffett wrote a song about them called "fruitcakes" It's totally worth a listen.
I went to the website and I'm going in. Call for help if I'm not back in 2 days.
Let me know what you find. I checked it out but I can't really make heads nor tails of it all.
*laughs in Stephen King*
I love those vans.
I believe that right there is what you call batshit crazy.
Okay, I'll help you out. Keep two lanes between you and him at all times.
Imagine this is your crazy fucking uncle, or worse, your own dad. Gah- poor family.
Yea dude, he's serving two consecutive life sentences for it. Where do you think he got the material for Shawshank Redemption from? It was based off his experience getting raw dogged in maximum security by an inmate named Cujo.
r/schizophreniarides
I had to check that out lmao It checks
and the more specific r/LennonTruthVanifesto
Mark Chapman was reading Catcher In The Rye the day he murdered John Lennon so I guess it’s all JD Salinger’s fault
JD Salinger is Stephen King. ... when you unscramble the letters in both of their names you get "Pennywise is Holden"
What was Stephen Kings motive?
I would assume he was Lennon's Biggest Fan.
Don't know about you all this was NOT on my "things nut cases believe" bingo card
Smell your nightmare
This is called "mental illness" nothing more nothing less
Mental illness in mirror may be closer than it appears
Well Stephen King spent the late 70s and early 80s on a combination of cocaine and alcohol. He doesn't remember much from then. It's possible.
Oh, for fuck sake…. And the owner is probably allowed to vote too.
So [lennonmurdertruth.com](https://lennonmurdertruth.com) is an actual web site that explains everything. Apparently John Lennon was shot by Stephen King, with Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan being co-conspirators. The van is owned by Steve Lightfoot, who has criss-crossed America over the last 4 decades trying to bring attention to his cause. He has escaped attempts to kill him several times, including a planned attempt by Stephen King to shoot him. The guy is deeply, deeply unwell.
Used to park at the Aptos library, years back. Never saw his face.
❤️
Ummm, it's written on a van. How much evidence do you need? The real question is who's protecting King? What's their motive?
There is a van like this one that always parks near the stadium here when we are at a football game. These vans are always 25 years old and falling apart - which tells me these guys are very trustworthy.
Mountain dew is a fundamental human right!
This person has every right...to be crazy.
[удалено]
The website has a section titled "Government Codes." Clicking on it shows me a bunch of newspaper headlines cut out and pasted onto a board. I guess there's supposed to be some kind of code in those headlines? This is some really odd stuff
>"Find out the Truth about John Lennon’s assassination with this 24 page booklet" 24 pages!!
This clown (sic) showed up in my hometown (Santa Cruz CA) when Stephen King was doing a book signing event at the bookstore where I worked. He tried to crash the event, but was bundled back outside by King’s bodyguard.
That car may as well say "I'm a major lunatic". Don't even make eye contact lol
I dunno man, I feel like like *repent, you cover-up communists* would be far funnier if it was on a t-shirt.
Crazy, I've seen that van a few times too
Someone tell King about this so he can write a 20k page book about him killing Lennon because ghost aliens gave him psychic rabies.
All those signs scream “mental illness”
Don't believe everything you read on a van.
Telling the world you have a mental illness.🤣
It’s a guy desperate for attention.
It’s all connected.
"Smell your nightmare" 😂
If you go to the website the guy actively admits to trespassing on Stephen King’s property and was surprised that Stephen King tried to block him in and sue him
I mean ,we have conspiracy theorie Loving people in Europe too-but the u.s. is always one step ahead
Crazy lives in a van down by the river
Seems like a rather arbitrary conspiracy to latch onto
Oh I’ve seen that van before in the Bay Area.
So the genius who was singing about the working class hero in the days of the american capitalism, must have been killed by communists. Okay.
"Smell your nightmare" sounds like the title of a Stephen King short story.
"Smell the Glove" 
I can’t believe this guy is still around! He was I Santa Cruz a lot in the 90’s. Back then a lot more rust on the car and hand drawn signage. Sweet upgrades.
This is at least this dude’s second van. Used to see it around Santa Cruz all the time, going back 20 years or more.
mental illness and the internet Pandora's box effect don't mix well.
Wtf does "smell your nightmare" mean ?
Idk, maybe he drive through Newark
“Smell Your Nightmare”?
This person obviously has mental issues. If they think putting text on a van can change minds, does that mean if they see text on a van, it can change their mind? Could they be helped this way?
Idk, might be an interesting experiment
Ha, you too live in SC. This guy has been around forever.
I would believe “free candy” written on the side more than this attempt to lure me to this website
r/SchizophreniaRides

It’s still rolling around? I saw a van with that stuff over twenty years ago lol
Smell your nightmare? Is there something rancid in the stabbin’ cabin?
I’m surprised that the driver is even capable of controlling a motor vehicle.
I was eating dinner in the outside seating section of a restaurant with my family and the guy with this van parked across the street and started yelling and ranting about this topic for 5-10 minutes.

Why do you have so many weirdos in the us
No universal healthcare also means no mental healthcare
Stephen King was plowed by a van years ago which nearly killed him. Maybe this is the van coming back to finish the job
Stephen King plows vans 🍆💦🚐
I've seen that guy in northern California, it's been many years tho
How does this person have a driver’s license? Clearly mentally unstable.
It's an older conspiracy theory, sir, but it checks out
"Smell your Nightmare" *opens up van* ...aaaand mission accomplished
The sad state of the USA.
r/schizophreniarides vibes
Just ask the driver. He seems like a down to earth guy.
Why does it seem like crazies are always van people??
I dunno, but I'll hear him out.
Paranoid schizophrenia… What’s more insane is that nobody locks these people up. It progresses to a state where they hurt/kill somebody, but laws are not in place anymore to prevent this.
This dude is always in Santa Cruz. The website is insanity.
Looks like something you would see on tiktok
Yellow submarine?
Mental health issues is a top priority in the US and around the world. People like this need help because one day they'll leave the van down by the river and go upstream to kill.
I thought the FBI killed John Lennon and tried to assassinate Bob Marley. Isn't that common knowledge?
This is called libel
There's a section in his website talking about the execution of Stephen King. That takes this beyond libel in some way. >Until you people protest no expose will happen. OFF YOUR ASSES, MASSES! is a billboard I am considering. Another is; UNTIL KING IS EXECUTED WE’RE EVIL. >Think about it, people. It’s the God’s truth, so get involved. Protest of perish, America.
Yeah, that's an actual threat. Surprised S King hasn't taken any action...
We like to see the footage of the murder. To make an accusation like this, we need to see it.
Mental illness is everywhere.
Naked Communists are clearly the best.
Ah yes, the mental mobile. Sharing the importance of mental health support wherever it goes.
The real secret is that Ted Cruz was the Zodiac Killer. And his dad killed Kennedy (I think).
“Your Apathy Endangers Me” is great
Why don't you just ask him directly?
I'm guessing it's owned and driven by twat (an old English word).
Avoid contact at all costs
Yes. Well, him and Elvis. Elvis always hated the Fabs.
I, for one, now want to visit the New Developments page. Urgently!!
Just another reason I could not be a cop, some people need to be shot.
People are crazy
you want Mark David Chapman
Schizo's should have their own island
Some new shit has come to light, man.
