MJ | Before June 25th

Credit to WONDERING for requesting a Discussion Page for subjects that led up to the June 25th, 2009 Event – the death of Michael Jackson.

My dear Wondering, have I subliminally created some new Michael Jackson School, …Questionable Universal Activities Spawning Investigation  (QUASI)?  It presupposes we take a questionable posture to what truth actually is.  Comment after comment in this Blog in those areas re: MJ suggest the we collectively can expect no surface truth, nor should we take the media’s perceptions as facts.  WE are the ones who will both discover the underlying facts of Michael Jackson’s life, and those facets or characteristics thereof that precipitated his death, and the subsequent media articles, hype, investigations, positions and assessments.

Very good page suggestion.

  1. Nothing better than “Tabloid Junkie”.

    Speculate to break the one you hate
    Circulate the lie you confiscate
    Assassinate and mutilate
    As the hounding media in hysteria
    Who’s the next for you to resurrect
    JFK exposed the CIA
    Truth be told the grassy knoll
    As the blackmail story in all your glory

    It’s slander
    You say it’s not a sword
    But with your pen you torture men
    You’d crucify the Lord
    And you don’t have to read it, read it
    And you don’t have to eat it, eat it
    To buy it is to feed it, feed it
    So why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don’t make it factual
    Though everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don’t make it factual, actual
    They say he’s homosexual

    In the hood
    Frame him if you could
    Shoot to kill
    To blame him if you will
    If he dies sympathize
    Such false witnesses
    Damn self righteousness
    In the black
    Stab me in the back
    In the face
    To lie and shame the race
    Heroine and Marilyn
    As the headline stories of
    All your glory

    It’s slander
    With the words you use
    You’re a parasite in black and white
    Do anything for news
    And you don’t go and buy it, buy it
    And they won’t glorify it, ‘fy it
    To read it sanctifies it, ‘fies it
    Then why do we keep foolin’ ourselves
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don’t make it factual
    Everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don’t make it factual
    See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don’t make it factual
    See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the TV screen
    Don’t make it factual, actual
    She’s blonde and she’s bisexual

    Scandal
    With the words you use
    You’re a parasite in black and white
    Do anything for news
    And you don’t go and buy it, buy it
    And they won’t glorify it, ‘fy it
    To read it sanctifies it, ‘fies it
    Why do we keep foolin’ ourselves
    Slander
    You say it’s not a sin
    But with your pen you torture men
    Then why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

    You’re so damn disrespectable

  2. Before June 25th…ummm where do we begin…..this subject can go in all sorts of directions…I’m going to pick one for now. I would like to start off by saying this goes back farther than we have been led to think.

    The Rise And Fall of the World’s most Famous Star….
    How do we know anything about his life…We’ll my guess is we don’t..We know only what we think we know from what we’ve seen either in the news, in videos, listening to his music trying to figure him out for ourselves. Notice how I didn’t mention (tabloid,media bs..) I never used this as a way to identify him as I felt it all too bizare. So is there something below the surface about MJ. My guess is YES…the major reason I say this is because he changed his persona so much. Starting with his talent expressive in his early years to what seems to have transformed into something more. Different looks, different ways of dance, different style of dress almost a completely different person on the outside. Yes artists are expressive in many ways….but to figure out the way it happened to MJ doesn’t sit well with me. What was it that changed him? Was it is escapism from himself? Missing his childhood, allegations of abuse from his father or something deeper?

    He didn’t interview much. But from what we have seen I see him as a quiet soft spoken intelligent man…

    The shock of June 25th..
    We don’t understand it and can’t wrap our brains around it…Yes depression and physical pain force us to turn to things(medication) we don’t want to. I don’t see it as an addiction rather than a means of survival. As if I can’t manage this any other way so this is how I’m going to do it! We all do it. We take the easy way out so to speak. One that’s less time consuming and fixes(masks) things. Yet we never really get fixed! We spiral downward….After his trial in 05 I think it’s safe to assume here’s where the spiral started intensifing…You could see as the days went on what a toll this was having on him. Even we could feel it. But he left the U.S. shortly after… He moved around trying to find peace and comfort for his family. What made him come back?

    I saw a recent video on youtube with accesshollywood where he was living in Ireland and embarking on new music with Will.i.am from the black eye peas. It seemed like such a peaceful place. He seemed peaceful in the interview. And this was amazing to me as he seemed to be happy and focussed on a new journey… This was only a few years ago…..So what happened then? He certainly didn’t seem like he had any aliments here. Even though it’s a short glimpse into his life. He seemed healthy.

    Then in 07 we see him on the cover of Ebony magazine looking fabulous there as well. Actually even better than 05. I have the Ebony Tribute to Michael and he just looks amazing. What happened?

    Then in 08 we see some video clips on youtube with him celebrating fashion designer for Ed Hardy (Christian) 50th birthday again he looked great. My conclusion to events leading up to June 25th is they didn’t begin that long ago perhaps. We see the movie trailer for TII and we see someone in some clips looking frail and off a bit. When did the sprial take on a fast track? Something is here right in front of our faces yet we can’t see it Why?

  3. I can’t help but believe that they didn’t want Michael to be able to perform 50 shows. They hoped he would be too scared to even try. But as Michael took it seriously and rehearsed and planned to prove he will ALWAYS be the king, they decided to take another route that would make it appear that what they WANTED to happen actually did.

    • i don’t get it please explain.

      • What I am saying Kim is that whatever was actually ailing Michael could have and should have been treated. We can all come to a consensus that Michael did not have to die, right?

        Now we see that although Michael was frail and tiny, he could still perform. So his death was planned and allowed. He wasn’t using street drugs. These drugs came from doctors. In addition, the media reported every time Michael went outside, but they could not break news of the drugs being prescribed to him by so many?

        This whole thing was made to look like it was Michael’s fault or unpreventable, but it was orchestrated. We are supposed to believe that Michael, the ultimate entertainer, could not perform 50 shows. (Tina and Cher still perform, why can’t Michael?) By the way, he even told people that he thought somebody was going to murder him for his assets.

        When was the last time you heard of a singer/dancer being worth 1.3 billion dollars? That is phenomenol and somebody didn’t like it because Michael moonwalked through the glass ceiling. (I guess that makes it a vertical moonwalk).

        I don’t know how to explain it except something ain’t right!

        • So you think the coroner’s report is accurate. He was murdered? Do you think this is true? Why now though, this I don’t get. Since I heard of his death I never suspected it to be his fault. I actually thought at first the stress of everything finally wore him down and he died a natural cause. Then a few days later we learn of drugs ummm I smelled a rat from the begining. I wonder if Dr. Christian could shed some light on this subject.

        • With a bit of extra meat on him, and less meds Michael could have done the shows(Madonna is the same age and is still performing without any problems with voice etc). What you didn’t say Princess is who you think didn’t want Michael to do the shows. AEG spent $30 million to get the shows going so they had money to make and money to lose if Michael didn’t perform. The insurance if it pays out apparently only pays out $17 million, so that would not cover AEG’s outlay of capital.

          Who else is there that had money to gain if Michael did not perform? The one that comes to my mind is Sony. They would benefit if Michael couldn’t perform, he would need the money and he would then be forced into selling his shares to them. The squeeze was on Michael, it was coming from all directions. I read that Michael was sued in June 09 for $44 million by (Oh hang cannot rememeber his name)…, anyway it was still apparently for money owed to this person for Thriller. Plus he also had another 3 law suit filed against him this year totally about another $10 million. Maybe it was a conspiracy to squeeze Michael from all sides, make sure he cannot perform(don’t know if they would actually consider “eliminating” Michael) therefor no income, get people to sue him, therefore would have no choice but to sell his shares to Sony. It certainly sounds feasable, there is just too much money wrapped in the catalogue with Sony, too much at stake.
