The Truth Comes Out........

I have just come accross THIS article. Jordan Chandler, the boy who accused Michael Jackson has admitted he lied about the whole thing for money, encouraged by his father. Why isn't this being reported on more widely? The internet is full of such articles, google brings up a huge list.

I have to quote Jul Paddy, from the comments section. I agree so wholeheartedly with the comment it could have come from my own mouth.

"I am not surprised. I suspected it all along. No smart person who really read the facts believed this nonsense. What kind of parent will take money from the molester of his child anyway? If someone molested my child, I don\\\’t care if he were Bill Gates, I would try everything I could to ensure that the person went to jail for it.

Michael Jackson was the God father of Marlon Brando\\\’s granddaughter. He went on tour with Deepak Chopra\\\’s children, even slept on the same with MacCaulay Culkin several times, but never once did a complaint come from these people. Deepak who is the most blunt spiritualist I have seen said that he never had a reason to be concerned about that. MacCaulay Culkin in 2005 also said Jackson never acted inappropriately with him. I guess some people will sell their class if they have any to make some money out of hard working celebrities. What\\\’s terrible about this is that MJ actually loved these kids? Uri Geller, Jackson\\\’s old time friend said on the day MJ died that he knew for a fact that MJ did not molest anybody after performing hypnosis on him regarding a different issue and then questioning him about the charges when his mind was in the state of trance.

My guess is Arviso will be the next to say this. The fact that he was coerced by his mum into making these charges are so self evident that anyone who felt Jackson was guilty is in my opinion is very naive or had simply not examined the facts. I urge people to read the transcripts of the court proceedings before questioning my perspective on this. The prosecution had to discredit it\\\’s own witnesses, Mrs Arviso had a prior record of perjury, Mrs Arviso and her ex husband had a history of extortion and prosecution witnesses like Chris Carter and Shacone had personal vandettas against Jackson for firing them, worse Carter had a criminal record. Now the Arviso boy had initially told his school administrator that he had not been molested. This is on record. Also, his claim that MJ taught him to musturbate was a lie, he admitted that his Grandma taught him. He claimed that MJ molested him twice, but in the course of the trial, he then said thrice probably because his brother\\\’s account of the incident contradicted his and that was the only way to reconcile the so called times of abuse. One of the brothers said MJ came in erect and naked, another said different. For the Jury, it wasn\\\’t even a tough call. It was the press that kept the prosecution on life support really.

Do I think Jackson was strange? sure he was. A 5yr old lead singer getting a recording contract is as strange as it gets. Life sometimes gift us with people who are extraordinary like Jackson. Was the fact that he loved playing with kids strange? to the extent that they slept in the same bed, yes but that doesn\\\’t make him a child molestor. Problem is, that was all the prosecution had, a Martin Brashir Documentary and a kid with an inconsistent story.

He was described as a child like person. Now that I think of it, it was very true. With child-like ideas are child like emotions and such emotions are pure and genuine. It transcended through his music. When he granted an interview at the age of 11, he said he sings what means. lets remember these songs \\\’\\\’Will you be there\\\’\\\’ , \\\’\\\’earth song\\\’\\\’, \\\’\\\’Heal the world\\\’. The emotion of these songs transcended to the crowd any where he had a concert. I understand him much better now that I look at this thoroughly.

When I was a little boy in Germany, as a black guy, Jackson was like my hero. I wanted to be like him. Although he looked different later, it still never changed the fact that he was a great person and one of the most talented musicians of our time. Neither did it change my personal perception of him. Greatness and true ingeniousness has no colour. He was the world\\\’s greatest…"



Well Said Jul Paddy, whoever you are.

My Hero - Michael Jackson




It is now one week since my hero Michael Jackson suddenly passed away. I am still in shock! I can't believe it. Such a tragic loss to the whole world. I can't express how excited I was about the prospect of a MJ comeback.
As a lifelong MJ fan I have had many an argument about Michael & the things he does, especially in the last 10-15 years. I must start by saying that my faith in Michael has never faltered. I love the guy with all my heart and always will.
Over the years I have tried to recall what is the earliest memory I hold in my mind, no matter how hard I try I can't remember anything before Thriller. My very earliest memory is of staying up late to watch Thriller premier on TV. Does that not just say it all?? Like many of Michael's music videos after, Thriller had it's own spot on TV, it didn't just show on Top Of The Pops (or whatever music show you had in your country), the music video was an event in itself.

I can't understand how so much of the public can be so nasty to Michael. Through his music Michael taught me to respect people, animals & the world we live in. He spread a message of love and respect to the world, he set up a charity of his own as well as heavily donating to several other charities over the years. Many a story I have read about how he would buy pizza for the homeless in London (without any recognition), the times he would visit a hospital & write a cheque for a huge amount before leaving - how it can possibly be that Michael is not loved by everyone on the planet I cannot understand.

I am a strong minded person, I do not need the media to tell me what to think, I make up my own mind about things by looking at the facts and thinking it through logically. This is how I have approached all the various "scandals" concerning Michael. Here are my thoughts and opinions -

1 - Why Michael changed his skin colour.
I hate this one! I really don't see what the problem is!!
So what if someone changes the way they look? Is that not the society we live in? If you don't like something about the way you look, change it! As a caucasian woman I will readily admit that I hate my pale skin, when the sun comes out I will put on a bikini, slap on the sunscreen & lay there all day long in the attempt of changing my skin colour - I have used sunbeds, I have used fake tan - I have even joked that if I was rich i would have "tan" tattooed all over my body so it would be permanent. Millions of people attempt to darken their skin all the time! Is it a crime not to like your skin colour? No!! is there ANYTHING at all wrong with not liking your skin colour? NO!!!!

2 - Why Michael had so much cosmetic surgery.
Again I use the same arguments, what is the problem with someone not comfortable with the way they look changing it? Most celebrities do it, why? Because they can, they can afford it. Ask anyone you know, I am willing to bet that almost everyone you ask would have some sort of cosmetic surgery, no matter how large or how small - I know I would. Irrelevent of whether you all like what he has done to his face it's his face & it's his choice. Does it really matter?? No!

3 - Why Michael settled the case with so much money if he was innocent.
As a mother this one really winds me up. I have a son, he is 13, he is my world. If someone, ANYONE touched my son I would kill them, full stop. I would cause them so much pain in the process! I would want their head on a stake and I would be willing to do the time as a consequence too - it would be worth it!! The last thing I would want if some guy had messed with my beloved son would be his money!!
How could any mother or father live with themselves if they had basically pimped their son out, well if a parent accepted a pay off from someone who had done this then that is essentially what they would be doing!! That is my basis for never believing this crap.

When someone achieves the success that Michael did, there will always be souless leeches out to get what they can from them.


So this is my first ever post to my first ever blog, this blog will be like many other blogs, it will contain whatever is on my mind, my thoughts, feelings and opinions on lots of differing subjects, cool things I find while I am browsing, pics, vids etc but you can rest assured that Michael will make many an appearance here.

I have put off blogging for years - not convinced that anyone is interested in reading what's on my mind, I hope I manage to gain at least a few followers.
