Nutopia is an imaginary country created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1973. Nutopia is a conceptual nation that exists only in your mind, without borders, founded on Love and open to everyone. The national flag is a white flag of Surrender. It is an art piece dedicated to promoting the ideas of Peace and Love that were made famous by the song 'Imagine'.
John & Yoko announce the Declaration of Nutopia at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 42 W44th St, New York, 2 April 1973.
Yoko: In 1973 in New York City, John and I invited the press to announce the founding of a conceptual country called Nutopia. Anybody could be a citizen of this country. Citizens were automatically the country’s ambassadors. The country’s body was the airfield of our joint thoughts. Its constitution was our love, and its spirit our dreams. We produced a white handkerchief from our pockets and said, “This is a flag to Surrender to Peace.” Not 'Fight for Peace’, but 'Surrender to Peace’ was the important bit.
John: It’s a conceptual country. It has no land, there’s nothing to fight for, there’s no boundaries, there’s no lines to be drawn, no passports, only people. We’ve got a flag, but there are no laws. All the people of Nutopia are ambassadors. And citizenship is available by declaring your awareness of Nutopia. Once you say it, that’s it. The flag means surrender and submission and also you can blow your nose on it. (laughs)
Yoko: We wished that one day we would take the flag to the United Nations and place it alongside the other flags, as Nutopia was just another concept, such as France, the United States and the Soviet Union. It was not a concept founded to threaten any other. John had said that we were all ambassadors of Nutopia. And so we are. When you come to our apartment, you’ll see that there is a gold plaque on the kitchen door that says 'Nutopian Embassy'. John put it there. Strangely enough, now friends just like to come in from that door, and not the front door. It seems the plaque made the kitchen door our front door.
John: Nutopia was Yoko’s trip. I agree with her, so I wanted to do it as another John and Yoko event. We mean it. It’s not naive or anything like that. It’ll happen when it happens. If you say it enough, it’ll happen. If you don’t say it, it won’t. We do it on impulse or instinct, you know. We try and use our instincts, especially for these kind of things which we call 'Mind Games'. First of all, we put the thought out. And then we’ll follow it through to see... We’ll react to whatever the reaction is.

This is how to protest! NOT like the college kids are protesting today! John and Yoko were activists and we're against war! "Make Love, Not War" was another John Lennon song! We need peaceful protests, not violence! We need people like John!

The first commercial rap song? I thinks so. Hit it C'mon, ev'rybody's talking about Ministers, sinisters, banisters and canisters Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Popeyes and bye-bye, bye-byes
All Lennon's peace songs and activism did absolutely nothing apart from confirm he was a naive 'fool on the hill'.
All Isms are bad and peace means peace for communism
Pray for worlds, 2024 🕊☮

I will say it again - All I want for Christmas is Peace on Earth. John was our kid.
War did all of these terrorble events. Stop waring.
Hello Yoko - I love and I have love. I love humanity. I will meet with you in person - then will will lead this march on The white house together. Give Peace a chance.

This message makes so much sense. Crazy that peace, love and caring for nature is not the top priority It is the only way for everyone. Hopefully someday soon it will be.
C'è anche il grande Timothy Leary 🎉

Don't get caught up on the clothes, the equipment, just the people, GenZ's. ❤ We can do it but you have to get "above" your ego and take in the big picture. We are all capable of being open, loved and moving! Forward! To bigger, better and amazing things!! 🕊️ I KNOW it can be "off pudding" or make you uncomfortable but you, every you deserves a moment of peace in THIS timeline!! ❤✌🏼
55 years later, this is still extremely relevant
