Nobody can prove it either way but you have to ask who had the most to gain?
He was creating a god like-following and there were millions around the world who would hang on his every word.
Whoever it was they were most certainly evil as John Lennon spread messages of love and peace, near the end of his life he began to speak out against the corruption in government and he would bring attention to the people in the world who would manipulate situations around the globe for profit in money, power, natural resources and most of all controll.
Put it this way - I would say the conspiracy theories ARNT "theories" .

John Lennon Childhood
John Winston Lennon was born in the Liverpool Maternity Hospital, Oxford Street, Liverpool, to Julia Lennon (née Stanley) and Alfred (Alf, or Freddie) Lennon, during the course of a German air raid in World War II. Julia's sister, Mary "Mimi" Smith, ran through the blacked-out back roads to reach the hospital. During the two-mile trek to the hospital, she used the explosions to see where she was going.[7][8][9] John was named after his paternal grandfather, John 'Jack' Lennon, and Winston Churchill.[9] Alf was a merchant seaman during World War II, and was often away from home, but sent regular pay cheques to Julia, who was living with the young Lennon at 9 Newcastle Road, Liverpool, but the cheques stopped when Alf went AWOL in 1943.[10][11] When Alf eventually came home in 1944, he offered to look after his wife and son, but Julia (who was pregnant with another man's child) rejected the idea.[12] After considerable pressure from her sister, Mimi Smith (who contacted Liverpool's Social Services to complain about Julia), Julia handed the care of Lennon over to Mimi.[13] In July 1946, Alf visited Mimi and took Lennon to Blackpool, secretly intending to emigrate to New Zealand with him.[14] Julia followed them, and after a very heated argument, Alf made the five-year-old Lennon choose between Julia or him, and Lennon chose him twice. As Julia walked away, however, Lennon began to cry and followed her. Alf then lost contact with Lennon until the height of Beatlemania, when father and son met again.[15]
Throughout the rest of his childhood and adolescence, Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi and her husband George Smith, who had no children of their own, in Woolton, in a house called "Mendips" (251 Menlove Avenue). Mimi bought volumes of short stories for Lennon, and George, who was a dairyman at his family's farm, engaged Lennon in solving crossword puzzles, and bought him a harmonica. (Smith died on 5 June 1955).[14][16] Julia Lennon visited Mendips almost every day, and when Lennon was 11 he often visited her at 1 Blomfield Road, Liverpool. Julia taught Lennon how to play the banjo, and played Elvis Presley's records for him. The first song he learned was Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame".[17][18]
Lennon was raised as an Anglican and attended Dovedale Primary School until he passed his Eleven-Plus exam.[19][20] From September 1952 to 1957, he attended the Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool, where he was known as a "happy-go-lucky" pupil, drawing comical cartoons and mimicking his teachers.[21][22][23]
Julia bought Lennon his first guitar in 1957, which was a Gallotone Champion acoustic (a cheap model that was "guaranteed not to split").[24] Julia insisted it be delivered to her house and not to Mimi's, who hoped that Lennon would grow bored with music; she was sceptical of Lennon's claim that he would be famous one day, often telling him, "The guitar's all very well, John, but you'll never make a living out of it."[24][25] On 15 July 1958, when Lennon was 17, Julia was killed in Menlove Avenue (close to Mimi's house) when struck by a car driven by an off-duty police officer.[26][27] Her death was a bond between Lennon and Paul McCartney, who also had lost his own mother (to breast cancer) on 31 October 1956.[28]
Lennon failed all his GCE O-level examinations, and was only accepted into the Liverpool College of Art with help from his school's headmaster and Mimi. There, Lennon met his future wife, Cynthia Powell, when he was a Teddy Boy.[29] Lennon was often disruptive in class and ridiculed his teachers, resulting in them refusing to have him as a student.[30][31] Lennon failed an annual Art College exam despite help from Powell, and dropped out before his last year of college.[32]

John Lennon Imagine Video And Lyrics
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
John Lennon Quotations
Here's a list of John Lennon Quotations I've compiled:
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
John Lennon
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon
All you need is love.
John Lennon
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
John Lennon
Everything is clearer when you're in love.
John Lennon
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
John Lennon
Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough and you have to go and get shot or something.
John Lennon
He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
John Lennon
I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
John Lennon
I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
John Lennon
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
John Lennon
If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.
John Lennon
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
John Lennon
It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.
John Lennon
It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
John Lennon
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
John Lennon
Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
John Lennon
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon
Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon
Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem.
John Lennon
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
John Lennon
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon
Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon
The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
John Lennon
The more I see the less I know for sure.
John Lennon
The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.
John Lennon
The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.
John Lennon
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
John Lennon
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
