Rage Against the Media: ATTENTION READERS - BE PREPARED TO GET ANGRY!!

ATTENTION READERS - BE PREPARED TO GET ANGRY!!

ATTENTION READERS: I just want to notify you that what you will be reading in my next blog is truthful fact recorded by a court of law.

If this truthful and uncontested fact does not ANGER you, I seriously ask you to ask yourself

WHY YOU ARE UNMOVED?

Our Constitution was created in a time of history where the public needed to protect their freedom of speech, and in addition to that, the press also required protection. Thus, the "Freedom of the press" was then added to the Constitution. Now, I ask you to really reflect on the time this amendment was created and added to the Constitution. Our forefathers came from a country that was a monarchy, and so they did everything in their power to make sure that the United States was a country filled with freedom and opportunity.

NEVER! did they EVER create our Constitution with the intention of protecting liars or supporting those who maliciously twist the words of the Constitution to defend their cause!

The journalistic integrity of Martin Bashir has always been one to be questioned. There are at least three cases, not including Michael Jackson, where Bashir's conniving and dishonest techniques have been under investigation. Complaints stating that Bashir's form of journalistic practice was with the intention to smear and de-fame celebrities, so that he himself could infact be a celebrity with his unsubstantial claims. Bashir has admitted to "unfairness", "breaching of contract", and "not representing the entirety" of the subject - the same alligation Michael Jackson would later make against Bashir.

Leading into the case, Bashir hired Theodore Boutrous, a high profile lawyer that represented ABC News, NBC Universal, CBS Broadcasting, FOX News, and Cable News Network. Throughout all of Bashir's testimony, Boutrous continually interrupted proceedings, objecting on the grouds that Michael Jackson's lawyer, Tom Mesereau, questions violated the California Shield Law as well as the First Amendment.

The Shield Law is a law that was created to protect the rights of journalists and the techniques they used to get their story.

Bashir had no intention of showing up to court for questioning, and believed that the ABC Network would verify his documentary and let the documentary speak for itself. Bashir wanted to avoid Michael Jackson at all cost, but the Judge ordered Bashir to testify and so he HAD to go to court.

Here is how the questioning played out in court that day:

Tom Meserau, defense attorney for Michael Jackson, "Mr. Bashir, in the show you prepared, which we've just seen, Mr. Jackson made statements to the effect that nothing sexual happened in his bed, correct""

Bashir, "Correct."

Meserau, "To obtain that interview you had with Mr. Jackson when he made that statement, you told him he was underappreciated, true?"

Bashir, "I'm standing on the broadcast privilege and the Shield Law, Your Honor."

Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, you wrote to Mr. Jackson's assistant and said you would very much like to feature Micahel wit ha large group of children, around fifty, welcoming them and sharing with them his extraordinary home so that, for one day, their lives can be enriched, right?"

Boutrous, Bashir's defense attorney, "Objection."

Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, did you request that Michael Jackson brin Macaulay Culkin so you could fim him at Neverland?"

Boutrous, "Objection, Shield Law."

Meserau, "In the process of putting this film together, Mr. Bashir, did you write to Michael Jackson's assistant and say that you wanted to film the beautiful landscape, encouraging all of us to become as little children again?"

Boutrous, "Objection, Shield Law, First Amendment."

Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, in the show about Michael Jackson, Mr. Jackson says that nothing sexual went on in his bedroom. To obtain that statement, you told Mr. Jackson that your romantic development was partially shaped by his records, true?"

Boutrous, "Objection, Your Honor. Same grounds, First Amendment."

Judge Melville, "Do you wish to answer that question?"

Bashir, "No, Your Honor."

Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, on your show, Mr. Jackson says that nothing sexual ever went on in his bedroom. To obtain that statement from him, you told him that you believe in his vision of an International Children's Holiday, correct?"

Boutrous, "Same objections."

Judge Melville, "Overruled. Do you wish to answer that question?"

Bashir, "I don't, Your Honor."

And so it went. Bashir denied to answer any questions that made it through Boutrous' objections on the case that the objections were actually overruled.

Bashir is one prime example of the many rats that are our "up and to the date" media. I don't know about you, but when the media begins tearing down ANOTHER celebrity I am sure to put no validity to their statements. They are all liars with an evil intent. To gain fame at any cost, and Michael was an easy mark.

What will they do now that Michael is dead?? Whose next?? The media has been feeding off of Michael for 30 plus years now....where is their story now?

We shall see.

Rage Against the Media: Beauty Destroyed

Rage Against the Media: Beauty Destroyed

Fact & What Was Published

Fact: In 1986, Michael was visiting a new innovative burn center for burn victims, and was exploring new burn treatment machines within the hospital due to the fact that he had experienced a traumatic burn to the scalp during a commercial taping for Pepsi Cola.

What was Published: In 1986, the tabloids ran a story claiming that Michael Jackson slept in a hyperbolic oxygen chamber to slow the aging process; he was pictured lying down in a glass box.

Beauty Destroyed

Forgive me, but I have to just say...that I am speechless. Listening to "Stranger in Moscow" breaks my heart.

How could this message from Michael go unheard?

Does anyone listen to the words he writes? Or is he just a dance song to most people?

I have posted a link in my prior post to one of the most amazing performances he has ever done, and it is beautiful. Who could have thought that such a complicated dance piece could be put together with such a deep and meaningful song? I know if I was an artist trying to figure out how I would perform this song that I would probably come up with something cliche like sitting in the middle of the stage while it rained in the background. This piece is the essence of beauty realized.

What is more beautiful is the pain that Michael shares with us candidly in his work. He does not apologize for the pain resounding in his heart so loudly that it almost drowns out the loving cry of his fans. The moment Michael's character went into question I sat back and observed celebrities, one by one, denounce his name and forbid the talk of Michael. More painfully, I saw Michael fans slowly become closeted for fear of harsh judgement from the ignorant. Then, if that wasn't enough, I saw the media, like Diane Sawyer, jump on the "monkey-train" and demean him at every moment possible. Calling him names such as Wacko-Jacko, and refusing to believe that anything he said was true.

Michael couldn't possibly be this talented without having a quirk, and apparently the media had it all figured out. Diane Sawyer bemuses me in the interview she held with Michael and Lisa Marie. Diane states, very condescendingly,

"I did not spend all my years as a serious journalist to ask these kinds of questions, but here it goes. Do you guys have sex?"

Really Diane? Are you really wanting me to comment on everything wrong with that statement?

Once again, this proves my argument about the media using Michael as a sensationalist product in order to thrust themselves further into the spotlight. Here is a link to that interview. Listen to the condescension and skepticism in Diane's tone, and then listen to Michael's forgiving, kind, and honest answers.

Watch and remember.

"Here abandoned in my fame, armageddon of the brain" - Michael Jackson

He Knew - by Lisa Marie Presley

Friday, June 26, 2009

He Knew.
Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.

I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.

At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.

14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.

A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.

The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.

All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.

I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.

I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.

His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.

At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.

He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.

When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.

Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions.

I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.

I was in over my head while trying.

I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.

The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.

Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.

At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.

He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.

I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.

He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.

I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.

The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.





I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

Dancing Inmates - Michael Jackson's This Is It
www.youtube.com
Philippines "Dancing Inmates" from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison, were treated to a visit by Michael Jacksons long-time choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn performances from THIS IS IT.

Fact & What Was Published

Fact: In the 1993 case against Michael Jackson it was proven that the markings on his genitalia DID NOT match what the child described. Photographic evidence was taken, and the kid's accusation turned out to be false.

What Was Published: Michael Jackson paid the kid off, so obviously he had to have done something wrong AND he was trying to hide it by keeping the kid quiet.

"Take my name just let me be". - Michael Jackson

In the immortal words of Michael Jackson ;

"Take my name just let me be"

I feel like I may come across a little scatter-brainy with my blog and I apologize for that, but know that you will ALWAYS be getting complete and utter honesty from my heart. My heart loves the truth and truth always prevails, and I believe the truth of Michael Jackson will someday be realized again.

Remember how he used to make us cry when he created "Man in the Mirror", "We are the World", and "Heal the World" all for humanitarian efforts so that he could somehow better a hurting and devastated Earth????? How on earth could those pieces of work be blatantly disregarded by our "dependable" media when the character of Michael Jackson went into question??? Only the most malicious and salacious journalists/news stations would be at peace with an action that called for such a course. The question we would then hear continually from the media for the next 16 years would be:

"Is the world's best entertainer truly what he seems??"

In my life, I can't count the times I envied the people that were lucky enough to work with such a man. Impecible taste, perfectionist work, groundbreaking ideas and a gentle spirit are all attributes you don't normally find in a normal person, let alone the King himself.

Hard to believe, I know.

How I envied the dancer in the red dress in "Smooth Criminal" almost with a passion, because I so badly wanted to be the one dancing with him. Being a trained and professional dancer since the early age of 2, I had always hoped and dreamed that one day I would work for the King himself. Unfortunately, his life was cut short and that possibility will never exist again.

In addition to being a professional dancer/singer, I have also graduated with my degree in Political Science and currently hold a 4.0 in my masters program. You may ask yourself

"Why is a masters student that also holds down a full time job blogging about a celebrity she never even knew?? Can't her time be better spent elsewhere?"

My answer to that is "No."

The King is dead and the media killed him. I feel that it is part of my duty to uncover the truth of our "Up and to the moment" media, and reveal that after 29 years of torture they finally got their way. What disgusts me most now is the insincere and blatant praise they smoother over Michael just to retain their viewers. Heaven forbid they risk losing the nation of Michael fans that live all over the world.

Oh and P.S.: to those readers who don't understand the respect and adoration us Michael Jackson fans have - try not to label us as eccentric or erratic. I am an educated woman that does research on EVERYTHING she chooses to believe, so try not to invalidate me before you have heard what I have to say.

You may be enlightened.

Sensationalism - Good Intentions or Selfish Fame?

I am sure that everyone has their perspective as to what they believe sensationalism is and what it stands for, but when I see it constantly abused by TV stations such as CNN and FOX I just can not keep my opinions to myself.

I just saw the media do coverage of the destruction in Haiti again, and I have to tell you that my heart breaks for the Haitians. I WANT to believe that all our relief efforts are being able to side step their government, however the ugly truth is that our money and efforts constantly get interfered with by corrupt governing bodies. This is a separate issue that I could create a whole new blog in itself but I will stick to the topic at hand.

How much is TOO MUCH??? HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO SEE THE SAME DEAD BODY IN THE STREET??? It's too late for that person so RESPECT the family!! But, OH NO, the media must ride the waves of sensationalism and continue to show the most gruesome and disrespectful footage over and over and over again.

This completely ties into my future blogs that you will become well educated on. I will not respond or post any hateful or slanderous responses on my blog so don't waste your precious finger energy.

I am the ultimate fan of Michael Jackson, and think that there are a few that could TRY to hold a flame to my regard of the King of Pop but not successfully. I am beginning this blog to share my utter content and loathing of our "informative and up-to-the-moment" media. Their sensationalism has been transparent to me for over 20 years, and I am tired of holding my tongue. I will share documented proof of their obvious malicious intentions to tear down and destroy the King of Pop, and how the all mighty dollar and a shot at immediate fame through no talent of their own ultimately killed and murdered one of the greatest loved artists in the world.

I am writing this blog to educate and inform the world about how an unrelenting evil finally murdered the worlds most greatest humanitarian entertainer.
