An MI5 file documenting John Lennon's Left- wing leanings and anti-war sentiments could finally be made public 34 years on.

A U.S. judge has ordered the FBI to hand over the final ten pages of a 258-page dossier to historian Professor Jonathan Wiener.

The FBI said the missing pages would be a national security risk because a foreign government - believed to be Britain - secretly provided the information.

Professor Wiener has written two books on the ex-Beatle and waged a 20-year battle with the FBI to see the sealed papers.

1. Dossier...? Hell, just read the damn LYRICS...!

Lennon was very open and public about his politics and anti-war sentiments... there was really nothing to investigate.

2. Little known fact that he and McCartney didn't actually write

90% of the songs that have been attributed to them by the music industry and pursued a vendetta against the actual writer/copyright holder ,including attacks by armed gangsters, who still received the royalties for greats such as "Hey Jude", "Let It Be", "Hard Day's Night" etc...........

The current spin about McCartney's wealth from songwriting partnership with Lennon is pure hype as is all the stuff about which copyrights/royalty proceeds Lennon's kids/widow inherited.

Much of this stuff has been whitewashed in UK security/intelligence files dating from 1963.
