Chris Brown's MJ Tribute Was 'Spectacular,' Jermaine Jackson Says

Exploit is the name of the game...should have a t-shirt made for Jermaine!!!
Makes me want to scream!!!

No...makes me want to PUKE!!!

Being a fan of Michael does not mean one has to be a fan of his family...I loved Michael but was never a fan of the rest other than Janet, so for those who feel some warped sense of loyalty to the family because they are a fan of Michael, more power to you...but do not assume we all feel that sense of extended loyalty. The family was not the support system they pretend portray now, and they were not a close knit unit...and that is truth. They are a business institution and are out for their own self interests, which now seems to be making money off Michael's death.
Rest in peace Michael...you are in a much better place.
Ciao.

Chris showed exactly how we all feel,that came from his heart and if you can't see that then you need glasses.Very humbling to watch.

And before you get all riled up and self righteous, think about how much Michael hated to be exploited and used and how much he is being used in death by those who are supposed to love him. It all began the ay after he died when Joe shamelessly pimped his new record label...all the publicity moments such as the one year anniversary visit to FL that was photographed and sold to tabloids...the interviews and 'tributes' that seem to always support some other agenda (at the Gary tribute it was announced that Randy's daughter has a CD coming out). It is pure exploitation and just disgusting.
I just wonder what life will be like for MJ3...they will have the money, so the leaches and ugly will follow, and the cousins are sticking close already. Thank God for Michael's sense in not allowing his children to have their inheritance until they turn 40. He knew...he knew that if anything were to happen to him his kids would be the ATM bullseye.
Ugh...enough.

Chris Brown's record sells are plunging and dismal, even his tears for the MJ tribute were phony, Chris Brown should just beat it.

acceptance that is right
keep judgement out of sight
he made a mistake and paid the price
lets all move on and be nice
the only thing i care to see
is cris dance so SPECTACULARLY
and that tribute that he made
from heart and mind will never fade

i believe i will be there its all for love love is free

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change

All of us have in life make mistakes. From these we have opportunity for personal growth, to reevaluate priorities, to set things right, and to "make a change" if necessary. Forgiveness is a part of showing love to others. If we want others to forgive us when we make mistakes, surely we need to do the same for them. "The Man In The Mirror" taught us so much about L.O.V.E. He would be the first to embrace Chris Brown and not judge him.

I ACTUALLY DID NOT SEE THAT PARTICULAR PERFORMANCE. BUT I KNOW IF I TRIED TO DO A TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL AND HIS MASTERY OF ENTERTAINMENT I WOULD HAVE BROKEN DOWN TOO. WHY I WOULD DO A TRIBUTE TO HIM WOULD NOT ONLY BE BECAUSE HE WAS A MASTER ENTERTAINER BUT ALSO BECAUSE WHILE NOT PERFECT JUST LIKE THE REST OF US HE WAS A GOOD,LOVING, GOD~FEARING HUMAN BEING THAT DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED AS SUCH AND WILL BE. LONG LIVE MICHAELS LEGACY

what is wrong with the world can anyone show emotional with out
been judged ?
Who does not love Michael and to do a performance like Chris did it takes lot o energy and courage just to try to copy Michael's legendary dancing moves ,come on have some respect and learn how to forgive and enjoy Chris amazing performance , what a lucky guy with a lot of courage to be able to carry out his amazing performance to try to imitate Michael's perfect artistic skills !
Good job Chris look forward to see you soon again ,michael would have been proud !

Babycarie, do you feel that Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley are also a business institution, as you have stated about the Jackson Family, since they have been making money off the death of Elvis for many years now.

GOOD JOB CHRIS MICHAEL WOULD OF BEEN PROUD.THE HECK WITH THOSE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND FOREGIVENESS AS M.J. DID. IM NOT A FAN OF YOURS BUT I WILL BUY YOUR MUSIC NOW I THINK YOU PAYED YOURS DUES.

Though I don't condone Chris Brown's actions with Rhianna, it's amazes that people have vilified this young man and tried to destroy his career, yet you have Charlie Sheen putting a knife to his wife's throat and his career is still going strong. Contract renewed for his tv show....hmm what is wrong with this picture.

@BTS
Well...wondered when you were going surface again. Love to you.

DEAR JERMAINE,THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUBLICLY SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE TRIBUTE CHRIS GAVE.HE LOVES YOUR BROTHER SO MUCH AND I KNOW YOUR WORDS MEAN ALOT TO HIM.I BLOGGED [BET] THE OTHER NIGHT TO ASK IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER INVITING THE JACKSON BROTHERS TO PERFORM AT THEIR NEXT AWARDS SHOW.SO MANY OF US WOULD BE SO THRILLED TO SEE YOU GUYS.AND BY THE WAY I ,I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE [JACKSON FAMILIY DYNASTY] AND I HOPE THERE IS MORE TO COME.LOVE TO ALL YOUR FAMILY.WE LOVE YOU MORE.

True-To-You,well said once again.I agree with you 100 %.(Smiles) to you.

BTS June 29th, 2010 9:29 pm ET
Yes...both are business institutions...imo.
Priscilla was not even married to Elvis at the time he died yet to this day uses the Presley name and cashes in on the fortune...Lisa is just his child who inherited from her daddy, so she is entitled to the name and fortune just like MJ3...NOT the other family who have leached off Michael since he became the lead singer of the J5. The exploitation of Michael's death has been beyond gross. And this is my opinion.
RIP Sweet Michael.
As for Cris Brown...I think the whole Rhianna thing is over and he should be allowed to move from under that cloud. However I believe he along with Jermaine milked that performance for effect...I believe it was staged and that although I do not question his admiration for Michael, Cris was acting with self preservation in mind...and again this is my opinion.

@True-to-You – now that Larry King is going to hang up his suspenders in the Fall, may I suggest you put your hands up for them asap!!! 😀

LEAVE CHRIS BROWN ALONE , SOCIETY HAS CREATED THE UNFORGIVABLE CRIMES AGAINST A RACE A RACE OF PEOPLE AND CONTINUE TO DO YET YOU PEOPLE FORGIVE LEAVE HIM THE HELL ALONE YOU HYPOCRITES....

butterfly,your comment at 10:03 pm,very cute.(Smiles) to you.

For me, it was an inner healing for Chris when he took the stage in spite of his past mistakes... A "redemption" of his heart and soul.

Please understand that, I never condoned what happened, but we are all entitled to a second chance. Hopefully we learn something in the process so that the same mistake is not made again.

With that being said, we are only human, and even though it is part of our nature to judge at times, we have to stop and remember (as hard as it is) to FORGIVE. Michael was a true example of this and he would be proud.

As far as his performance, he did a fabulous job but I have to admit Michael is a tough act to follow. No one will ever "hold a candle" to him...It just makes me miss him even more. (No offense to Chris)

L.O.V.E You Michael!

Wishing everyone a great day/evening...Love to all !!!!

@ LoveConquersAll
Very well said.
Love to you.

Yes. Chris was wonderful. Michael would be very proud if he were alive...

When Chris Brown started dancing and singing, I just wanted to cry. The longer he was performing, the tighter my chest got. I loved his tribute to Michael Jackson. I loved Michael and I always will. When Chris couldnt sing the last song, cause he couldnt stop crying, I was crying with him also. Anything that have to do with Michael, I cry cause I cant believe he is no longer with us, and the way he was taken from us...... God bless Chris Brown for such a good performance. God be with Michael's Family always and for ever. And God bless his soul. He will always be missed and loved. Miss you and Love you Michael J.

I'm not a big fan of Jermaine's. I'll try not to be too judgmental but he does strike me as an opportunist.
Did anyone see Mrs. Katherine J's interview? She mentioned that MJ's kids, for a long time, did not know a lot of Michael's music or the depth of his celebrity. That speaks volumes on Michael's modesty and his overall character. Most notably, he wanted his kids' love and respect as a dad, not a celebrity. Also he wanted to raise respectful, modest, polite kids who did not have a sense of entitlement. He succeeded beautifully. IMO.
I was also happy when Katherine spoke of Debbie Rowe. It seems like they are on the same page regarding the kids – which must be why it's not in the news (good news is ignored). Katherine spoke very highly of Debbie and it definitely looked like she truly feels this in her heart.

I think Jermaine summed it up well, spectacular is the only word. As someone who knew nothing about Chris' talents, I was blown away. Even Michael would have been impressed.

@cris – hmmm so are we to take it that you know what Michael would feel now??? 🙄
Pls don't crack up now as we need you to keep us strong...

Much Love, Light and Peace to you.

cris,I have to agree with your post,(Smiles) to you.

@

and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile,

someone somewhere is thinking of you" LYM 🙂

Tatiana,that was very nice post,thanks for sharing,(Smiles) to you.

Susan
One more ?....how do you think Jermaine and other family members stating that Murray did not act alone will effect the case for the DA?? Will this help the defense or will this not matter because ultimately Murray was the one who administered and he is accountable regardless of who else might have initiated the event?? Could the defense use this for reasonable doubt saying maybe someone else entered the room during the '2 minutes' Murray left to 'go to the rest room'?? I know they will try and state Michael administered to himself but with the IV in his leg that would have been pretty impossible, and given the fact that propofol is so fast acting...ugh...I really fear Murray will just walk away...that would be beyond tragic.
RIP Michael.

@cris

Next you can say that you're Michael's long lost tooth from age six! lol

@ "Pixie Dust "
Hello Pixie, nice to talk to you again, hope you are great! Thank you for your comment, smiles back to you 🙂

Susan
Sorry...I throw all my ?'s at you!!
What's up with Rob Lowe and Tom Barrack?? And why not make this arrangement with Michael when he was alive since Michael had expressed interest in film, and they are co-owners of Neverland and Michael's partnership would have been a win win...and this would have saved Michael from that tour and he would still be here...?? Michael clearly is a much more visionary artist that Lowe...???????????
'Sources say the foursome is discussing a $500 million deal to create "a multi-platform media company, similar to DreamWorks."
??????????????????????????????????

@Pixie Dust – tks and a big 🙂 to you. Hope yr day is going well.

Tatiana, A pleasure to talk to you again as well, I am great hope you are to.your welcome for the comment,as your posts are enjoyable to read.Sending more (Smiles) your way.

butterfly,welcome and yes my day is going well,hope your day is going well to.(Smiles) to you.

@BTS
It is good to see you
Glad that you are okay
Have been worried about you
Hoping things are going well for you
Stay strong and head up

Much Love

@butterfly my friend so true

i cant believe the king is going he cant hang up his crown
i may just be in misery and always wear a frown
what will he do without me what will i do without him
i have treated him like royalty after all he is a king
ok i will be honest i think i have driven him around the twist
he will probably be so happy to get a bit of bliss
maybe we can stop him keep him on the show
larry i am on my knees begging you dont go
know one can wear those suspenders they are just apart of you
larry if you leave me what am i gonna do
you know i am only teasing but you are a special guy
but michael is the one true king larry i cannot lie
ok larry i love you just a little bit i am sure
but michael is my one true king and i love him more

i believe i will be there its all for love love is free

Christine Canada

I love your post.... Michael was modest.... No pretentions about een big star!!!!.

Chris Brown deserves one second chance!

@True-to-You

Bye bye to Larry and as you have always proclaimed True – family first!

Much love and light to you xx

I wonder what is going to happen to the blogs when Larry King retires. If they are closed down I will miss a lot of posters here but I won't miss those that love to play games.

@LoveConquersAll
Hello. your post was nice stated. Thank you . Hugs Letta

@Missin MJ
Hello, Great post @6:09pm. Tha nk you. Hugs Letta

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

Have patience with all things, but especially with yourself.

The whole process of mental, spiritual, and material riches
may be summed up in one word – gratitude.

I agree with Jermaine Jackson that Chris Brown's tribute to MJ was spectacular.Bet knew they had messed up last year with that sorry tribute they put on in place of Chris Brown's tribute. They allowed J-z to manipulate the awards show by having Chris Brown removed and what a horrible show that was, but they redeemed themselves this year by having Chris Brown perform.

All these haters out here hating on Chris Brown are the same ones who were hating on MJ when he was alive. People like that are so full of self hate that it's easy for them to hate others. They need to get themselves right!!!!!!

@Angie Pie.
hello my friend. I am doing your daily word before I lay down early, because treatment was not so kind to me today and I am feeling weak and dizzy so here is you word of the day my dear friend and others who may enjoy reading these. Love, Hugs, Blessings ...Letta

And without Faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

We may think God wants actions of a certain kind, but God wants people of a certain Kind. C.L. Lewis

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends whom we choose.

Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
– Hugh Downs

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will .

It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do no pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks

it was so awesome, i think people should just leave Chris Brown Alone,I dont no why people is saying that he was faking it,i Dont no why some of u people are Hating on the guy ,He made a mistake everyone makes Mistakes, Rihanna Had Move on,And so did Chris Brown , i THink he Did Wonderful at the Bet Awards. Michael would Be Every Proud.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life

In between goals is a thing called life that has to be lived and enjoyed

There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a miracle.

Babycarie:
I agree with each of your comments posted at 5:26 p.m. and 5:43 p.m., especially being a fan of Michael does not mean one has to be a fan of his family. You are absolutely correct and I'm so proud that you admit it. Many others might feel the same way but are afraid to admit it. That is the difference between leaders and followers. The
Segye Times (Moonies) is a perfect example of how MJ was used by family members. You don't keep assets given to you that you haven't earned and ethically should be returned.

The 02 tour that Michael was to perform, was initiated by Thomas Barrack. They met multiple times in Las Vegas to have discussions and Barrack told MJ that film and a Vegas show would be the next steps after he completed the 02 tour. There were big future plans in the making. Barrack's business had suffered due to the recession and Barrack needed to recoup some of his losses. He new MJ would be the person who could do that for him. Barrack's business is to purchase failing companies and he made millions. The entertainment field is a different area that is not his expertise. Barrack
introduced MJ to Randy Phillips and Randy introduced MJ to Kenny Ortega. MJ would also meet with Steve Wynn who built many resort hotels in Vegas. This is also the time frame that MJ talked with Celine Dion to get her opinions regarding a Vegas show. MJ knew he needed money to get out of debt & Tohme was working for MJ at the time. It was Tohme who brought Barrack and MJ together. MJ's plans to do film, show, videos and books, etc. were also presented to him by Branca a few weeks prior to his death.

With Rob Lowe, Barrack, a restaurant owner and I don't know anything about the 4th member, it appears they are all going outside their professional trades. My guess is they will pool their monies, be the financial backbone to this new company but will have to hire all the pro's to make it work. Why or how Rob Lowe got in with this group is interesting to say the least. lol

@Virtual Friend 1
Hello Virtual Friend, hope that your days and nights are going alright. Well, I was surprise to see that you have not posted back to me and let me as of this day. You are probably busy at work and letting the times pass by. How did you like the Chris Brown Tribute for Michael? I thought it was wonderful to see Chris come out there and do all those wonderful dance moves, but in all honesty he can never take the place of the one and only Michael. My Heart as well as Joy went out to him, and when he hurt, it also hurt me more, even cry harder because I could feel the pains, of missing the real Man in the Mirror. Just, would love to know your point of view of what you thought of the hold performance. Look forward to reading what you have to say about Chris Brown Tribute to Michael J Jackson. It is All for L.O.V.E.

I loved the performance... I know it took a lot for chris to get up there and do that performance. America has treated him like an outcast. Rihanna is over it, so why can't america get over it. Who are we to judge chris? That's not our job.. I forgave chris right after it happen... I believe he needs a second chance and as a fan that is what I'm going to give him. Now as far as MJ's family.. I feel like they're just using MJ as a way to get more money.. Its bad enough MJ is gone but now they have a video game coming out.. They need to leave MJ alone and let him rest..

Babycarie:

With some of the Jackson family stating "others" are involved "more than 1 person" and "CM was not acting alone" are all statements that impact the general public. The general public in Los Angeles will be where the jury pool comes from. Chernoff's PR lady named Miranda has already made statements to the press that CM's case will be defended by 1) MJ injected himself, or 2) another person(s) killed MJ not CM. With the Jackson family stating they feel others are involved, then they are supporting Chernoff's defense strategy with the public. Chernoff is a smart man and is playing off what the Jackson's are saying to the public. As you said Carie, it just takes one jury member to find a reasonable doubt. IMO, the Jackson's are referring to AEG, but do not state that publically which leads the public to form their own opinion. All this won't harm the DA's case as they have a very strong case for gross negligence, but it could impact the manslaughter charge. The Jackson family needs to support the DA, go after CM first at the trial, remain silent in their conspiracy theories and after CM's trial is over, then pursue the conspiracy theory. I put myself in the DA's shoes. If the defense says someone else killed MJ and the Jackson's are saying that also, I would be ticked off.

Wow Larry, I'll miss you .I have watched you for years from British Columbia ,Canada.Enjoyed your charm and elegance.I'm a nurse of 20yrs,senior/pallitive care and your on every late night .I have come to expect ,have you entertain me,after a hard nursing shift.When I get home I look forward to your show.It's such a pleasure.It's been very refreshing over the years.I look forward to your guest's and topics.

We'll miss you !! Come work here! We'd love to have you, I'm sure. Ha ! Ha! Thinking of you with love and best wishes,for all of your new adventure's. Hope there are many..Kelly

Good grief, give me a break! Enough of these Jacksons! The whole clan is an embarrassment!

2all. Some comments on here make ME want to PUKE. Calling themselves MJ fans and being judgemental about CB. What he did was wrong, but what about all the other celebrities, to name a few: Jay-Z (who's now considered a GOD), Eminem (who also made a horrible video about MJ), Charlie Sheen(repeated abuser)and Sean Penn (ask Madonna). History keeps repeating itself. First they SLANDERED and CRUCIFIED Michael Jackson and now it's Chris Brown. What hurts more is that most bashers are BLACK FOLKS. This hurts. CB is supertalented, much more than a lot of R&B singers PUT together.
He deserves a fair chance or else his talent will go to waste.

@babycarie

Please stop judging Michael's Family so harshly. Not your place to, sorry.

@babycarie

Please leave the Presleys alone also. Stop being picky..........

Good Morning All

Marguerite February 5th, 2010 1:05 am ET
cris- We know you play both sides of the fence.lmao But we still Love ya
Marguerite February 5th, 2010 2:16 am ET
cris- You and I know the name of the game and how to play it well. Just stating the facts. Love ya.

P.S. Michael himself named Chris Brown as a "natural" talented singer and dancer with great potential and if MJ says so who are we to judge CB just because of one terrible mistake. Since then he has shown regret on many ocassions and he is really sorry.

@Babycarie. RIP SWEET MICHAEL?? And you bash his family?? He came from this family, no matter how you put it. And please try searching for the right information. When Elvis died he had about $ 5.000.000. I don't like PRISCILLA since she talked down on Michael on OPRAH, but LISAMARIE has her mother to thank for that she inherited all that money on her 30th birthday. Priscilla rewarded herself of course, but in all fairness she deserves it because she manages the business. Jermaine is not my favourite Jackson, but he IS MIchael's brother. So please leave the Jackson family do whatever THEY think is right. Strange people have RIPPED MJ and are still sueing him. It's one lawsuit after the other. So why shouldn't his own family benefit. Michael was always willing to help his family. Joe Jackson once said: "Michael doesn't CARE about money, he could have made much more if he wanted to. He used to turn down very lucrative deals just out of certain principles he had."

@Marguerite- I'm wondering about that as well.

when you look around and feel like crying
remember elsewhere someone is dying
the message in this is when you are sad
someone elses life is very bad
very sad but this is true
be thankful for what life has given to you

i believe i will be there its all for love love is free

Chris did a wonderful job.

Good Morning Everyone! Happy Wednesday 🙂 !

I saw the Chris Brown performance and I actually had some mixed emotions. I totally believe his situation with Rhianna is done and over with and he's paid the price for his mistake. He's lost endorsements, record sales, even popularity (fans). Hopefully he's learned from his mistakes. Being a HUGE Michael Jackson fan it's hard for me to look at anyone imitating Michael without disecting EVERY move! My favorite part of the performance was Smooth Criminal. I thought that was genius. His tears....I don't know. On one hand I felt Chris Brown was overwhelmed by being back onstage again .... honoring Michael Jackson .... and being accepted. He's always made it clear he's been a fan of Michael Jackson's from a child. So maybe his emotions just got the best of him. I still have days that I cry when listening to certain songs of Michael's. On the other hand Chris Brown could have just taken advantage an opportunity to gain some sympathy. I don't know....

I was watching Larry King last night and he announced his show will be ending in the fall. I was shocked! I really do enjoy his show. Does anyone know if this will affect the blog? If the show is ending will the blog be coming to an end also?

Well now...if I had said I love the family and wish them well in their exploitation, and send stiff hugs and fake love to all, would that make you all happy?? I have stated 'my opinion' which in this lovely world is not only acceptable but encouraged. I am not a fan of the family, never have been, but that does not mean I cannot be a fan of Michael. So to all who feel that having admiration for one Jackson means marriage to all, good for you! I feel differently. As for Elvis, and might I add both he and Michael are dead (death is not an opinion but a fact), Lisa Marie inherited his fortune that she was entitled to like MJ3 will....and this is not about Elvis, it is about Michael.
The exploitation of Michael's death is inconceivable, and his family is shameless in their quest to get as much as they can while the getting is good. Yes many others have done the same, but family is supposed to protect each other from this abuse, yet there they are riding the wave. That is my opinion and frankly it is the opinion of many. So, if you feel the need to praise God and this family, great...but I feel differently.
As for the lawsuits, many of the family members dragged Michael's name into business ventures without Michael's consent and Michael had to buy his way out of messes his beloved created for him because they needed Michael in order to do anything. So, the lawsuits that are being paid for by Michael's estate are taking care of Michael's debt...as it should be...and if there is nothing left over for anyone other than MJ3, as it should be. Michael carried the financial weight of that family on his shoulders his entire life and is doing so in death...enough!
YES...
Rest in peace sweet Michael.
You are always in my heart.

Susan
I thank you so much for being my source of information and providing such detailed answers to my sometimes confusing questions!
It just really breaks my heart about Michael.
The family needs to as you said support the DA fully and stop opening their mouths! Janet said Murray administered, which supports the DA but the others need to let the DA get Murray then do what they want with AEG, etc.
And the whole Barrack venture...that was MIchael's dream and he should be here to share in it...damn, it just breaks my heart. Why those who supposedly loved Michael did not throw him over their shoulder and carry his skinny butt to rehab...if he were my brother he might be angry at or even hate me but he would be alive because he would be in lock down rehab...I would have done whatever it took...failed interventions....sorry, but that doesn't wash and I don't care if Michael was 15 of 80!!!
Again, thank you Susan.

letta(beLIEve) good morning .thanks for sharing your morning quotes,it sure does help to start the day off on the right foot.Have a wonderful day .(Smiles) to you.

True-To-You, your rhyme is so true.Thanks for sharing.(Smiles) to you.

I Agree with Jermaine 100%. Chris heard Michael. Bottom line.
End of story. He's repented. Move on. Michael lives through his music.

@babycarie – you come across as a very angry, hateful person, very sad indeed, though you say you love MJ, not really sure you understand what "love" really is.

Also very surprised to see you here, you stated numerous times that June 25th would be your last post !!!

what happened ?

Why is it that so many people can forgive Chris Brown after a year, but yet dragged MJ through mud his entire life? Chris Brown was guilty and Michael was innocent. I would never endorse a guy who has the tendencies to be violent towards a woman or anyone for that matter.

It is sad that we can excuse his behaviour of which he was guilty of but we continue to harbour hateful feelings towards MJ and now his family after MJ "passed" and Michael was innocent, as is his family.

Chris did a good job dancing but that's about it. In my opinion, I would not have let him represent MJ at any level for a tribute. There are many artists out there that are just as good and have much more respect towards others.

get a life haters stop hating your so perferct that you cant forgive him he young its not like he 47 year old woman beater who does it all the time he made that one mistake so yall can go to hell

if it was justin bieber you would forgive him

I am so sad to learn about Larry! That tweet sure got my attention.

Larry, I really appreciated all the opportunities you gave us to discuss Michael here on your blogs. These blogs gave as an opportunity to process everything that has happened since last June 25 2009. Unfortunately, we still have more questions and answers. I want to thank you for this platform and for all of the friends that I have made here. I wonder what will become of your blogs. It will be strange not to have them as the central gathering point. While there are many other blogs and websites, this is the one central place we all visited to converse about Michael. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It seems to me, that no matter what any member of the Jackson family does, or does not do, that they will be reviled for it. They cannot win for trying...as the old saying goes. Everyone just feels they are entitled to weigh in on anything and everything they do and say, I do not think that any of us here can even comprehend how difficult that must be for that family on a daily basis. Then think of how it was for Michael, magnified by infinity. Apparently some fans feel that they are entitled to be the judge and jury and rule on every action or inaction of every member of the Jackson Family, when no one knows what is really happening. None of us is there behind the scenes with them, we do not know the depth of their pain, we do not know what they are doing to process and cope with this tragic loss.

We should know more about the court case after the preliminary hearing in August. Each side will give the skeleton of their strategy for Judge Pastor and we will find out if the State has enough on their side so the matter will be bound over for trial. Maybe at some point we will actually get some answers.

And to all of my blogger buddies that I met here on the LKL thank you for sharing, caring, crying, and processing with me this last year. I heart you all, no matter what side of the fence you happen to be on. It was all part of the process.

And GENE!!!! I wish you would come back, espcially before Larry retires, I miss you and I would love to hear your thoughts on the trial.

I hope we can make these blogs a better place, for what time we have left with them....with the love, L.O.V.E.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL 8)
DR. QUACK IS WACK

@Babycarie: Who Are you? you seem to be wounded from something that pertains to the Jackson Family. WHAT HAS THESE PEOPLE DONE TO YOU? Are you and have you been rejected or left out of something, because it is very obvious. GROW UP, GET A LIFE.

Chris Brown was spectacular, and Jermaine knew what he was doing when he chose Chris Brown for the Tribute.

@babycarie: I took the time to read each and every comments that was posted to this topic, and I'm behind u 100% in your opinions about the Jackson Family minus Michael. Perhaps if others take the time to really listen and understand what you are saying, them maybe, just maybe they would see that your views on this whole MJ/Family situation as being true at face value. So yeah, I stand behind you on your opinions because quite frankly, I feel the same way. You also hit it right on the head about people that supposely love him could have tried to save him no matter what it took. Now, as a result of all the craziness, we've lost a man who've won the hearts of millions the world over but no matter what, I will never stop loving Michael for the brilliance human being that he was.

R.I.P my Angel,,,for in my heart, we will never part 🙁

There is just waaaay too many people caught up in the madness of Michael's death, and regardless to whether people feel that CB was faking his tears to gain sympathy or not, that young man did an excellent job in bringing Micheal to the stage through his flawless dance moves. I have a forgiving heart, and although I don't condone any man putting their hands on a woman causing her bodily injuries, CB served his time, paid his dues, did his service, and apologized repeatedly so now what more is he to do, what more do negative thinking people want from him...this is so pathetic that people acts as though this young man don't deserve to be giving a second chance...wow, how sad 🙁

Who am I?
Who are you?
Where did we come from?
Where are we going?
Whats it all about?
Do you have the answers?
Immortalitys my game
From Bliss I came
In Bliss I am sustained
To Bliss I return
If you dont know it now
Its a shame
Are you listening?
This body of mine
Is a flux of energy
In the river of time
Eons pass, ages come and go
I appear and disappear
Playing hide-and-seek
In the twinkling of an eye
I am the particle
I am the wave
Whirling at lightning speed
I am the fluctuation
That takes the lead
I am the Prince
I am the Knave
I am the doing
That is the deed
I am the galaxy, the void of space
In the Milky Way
I am the craze
I am the thinker, the thinking, the thought
I am the seeker, the seeking, the sought
I am the dewdrop, the sunshine, the storm
I am the phenomenon, the field, the form
I am the desert, the ocean, the sky
I am the Primeval Self
In you and I
Pure unbounded consciousness
Truth, existence, Bliss am I
In infinite expressions I come and go
Playing hide-and-seek
In the twinkling of an eye
But immortalitys my game
Eons pass
Deep inside

Ever the same
From Bliss I came
In Bliss I am sustained
Join me in my dance
Please join me now
If you forget yourself
Youll never know how
This game is played
In the ocean bed of Eternity
Stop this agony of wishing
Play it out
Dont think, dont hesitate
Curving back within yourself
Just create just create
Immortalitys my game
From Bliss I came
In Bliss Im sustained
To Bliss I return
If you dont know it now
Its a shame
Are you listening?

I don't know what was behind this tribute......it happened already. MJ isn't the first person to be exploited and sadly he will not be the last. Instead of putting the negative spotlight on CB and what he did ( which in no means do I condone due to the fact I know someone who was murdered due to domestic violence) I say we teach our kids to respect themselves and others. People are talking about CB and they may know someone who is guilty of the same thing. Instead of throwing stones at this man, let's hope that he has learned from this and is working on his issues and teach our boys and girls to avoid violence. Remember the man he did the tribute for was accused of a vicious crime as well, and even though he was found innocent that dark cloud was still over him. We don't know how he felt after the trail due to that. We don't know if he felt people thought he was really guilty of the crime, and acted strange around him. I don't care who you are, no one likes to be judged. Sometimes we need to put down the stones.

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!!!

I'm not really sure what to think about Chris's performance. He seemed genuine to me. Like was rpreviously stated by others, I think the emotion was a combination of many events this past year and I do believe he truly is sorry for past mistakes and deserves forgivness like everybody else. His performance was beautiful and heartfelt. As for Jermaine....I try my best not to be judgemental. I will admit to that being difficult for me though where Jermaine is concerned.

Susan/Carrie

I agree with you guys. The family needs to keep quite at least for now or CM is gonna walk. When they talk about Murray not acting alone I too believe they are reffering to AEG but like Susan stated, that is not how it will be preceived by the public. Making these kinds of statements is only going to be twisted to help the defense.

Michael's problem was that he was surrounded by a bunch of money hungry people that supplied him with anything he wanted or needed whether or not he wanted or needed it. Like Jermaine said they knew his weakness and used that to their advantage. If you dangle candy in front of a child he's going to want it. I believe this is what they did to Michael. They knew Michael's weakness and used that to murder him.

chris danced great we all make mistakes and he deserves a second chance like everyone else.

Michael Jackson: The Making of a Myth – Part 1

Written by Deborah Ffrench

Monday, 28 June 2010

One year on, from the shocking events that took place in Los Angeles in the summer of 2009, and the universe of questions Michael Jackson's extraordinary death threw into orbit shows no signs yet of being answered satisfactorily. That Jackson actually died on June 25 is not in question. But it is the manner in which he departed that birthed an epilogue of controversy. Courtesy of TMZ's first truly global scoop, conversely at 14.26 pm as the vitality in Jackson's body flickered and died, the world as we knew it would galvanize into unprecedented hyperlife. AOL would call the ensuing web meltdown a "seminal moment in internet history." Jackson's death would precipitate a virtual news blackout of anything that wasn't Jackson related. From then to now, speculations of the Grisham-type variety about the state of Jackson's health and body to conspiratorial scenarios involving AEG, Sony, Jackson's last advisers, and his doctor – have raged like wildfire across the media.

Los Angeles, in the wake of Jackson's death, as well as coping with the influx of mourners and the world's press, also endured a summer of simmering tension between its bullish City Attorney, Carmen Trutanich, and Tim Leiweke – president of AEG, the sports and entertainment jewel-in-the-crown subsidiary of the Anschutz Company. Long-standing billboard issues, the city's huge debt, and good old-fashioned ego, resulted in public sparring for several months as the two men locked horns over who should foot the bill for Jackson's magnificent Staples Center memorial last July. Simultaneously transmitted live in over 22 countries around the world, news sources recorded the worldwide viewing figures as in excess of 1.3 billion, making it the most watched live television broadcast in history. The run-up to that event saw countless tributes from celebrities, heads of state, politicians, friends, and fans. But there was anger and a repetition of old accusations too.

On Capitol Hill, the day after Jackson died, when Congresswoman Diane E. Watson asked the House of Representatives to observe a minute's silence for Jackson, some members protested by leaving the House floor. Congressman John Yarmuth, would later tell radio pundit John Ziegler that the gesture made him feel "almost nauseated." On the same day, Maureen Orth, past correspondent for Vanity Fair, appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe and Today and declared Jackson, "a failure as a human being." On June 29, Rush Limbaugh called the media coverage a "horrible disgrace," and on the eve of the July 7 memorial, Congressman Peter King took the time to release a youtube video pronouncing Jackson, "a pervert" and, "a low life." Diane Dimond, a long-time Jackson detractor, responding to the blogs of grieving fans on her website where she had posted an article just days after Jackson died, wrote that she hoped Jackson's death would be "a teaching moment for millions " adding, "the cyclical nature of molestation that causes the victim to grow up and victimize others .the list of what Michael Jackson's life can teach us is long."

The next few months would bring a seemingly endless stream of graphic, brutal revelations. International speculation about the results of the autopsies, the shock discovery of propofol and other narcotics in Jackson's system, the redefining of his death as a homicide, arguments over how fit for This Is It Jackson had been, ever-changing dates for the final burial of Jackson's body, custody of his three children, as well as the fight for executive control of the Estate; all severely polarized a city with a history of igniting easily.

A succession of tributes at the BET's, VMA's, Emmy's, Grammy's and finally the Oscars – albeit briefly, brought some relief from the rancour. But with the awards season over, the business of determining what and who killed Jackson, returned to the fore when Murray turned himself in to be formally charged in Febuary this year with involuntary manslaughter. The following month, Joe Jackson and his attorney-on-call, Brian Oxman, launched public opening shots against Murray in a 13-page legal document filed at the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Effectively serving notice to Murray's lawyers of their intention to pursue a wrongful death civil suit against their client, Chernoff and his team can hardly have been surprised since a civil suit so often follows or parallels a criminal one.

Headlines that 'Michael could have been saved 'followed in the wake of Oxman's and Joe Jackson accusing Murray of not acting quickly enough or, more damagingly, disclosing vital information to staff at the UCLA Medical center Jackson was taken to. Both Oxman and Joe Jackson claimed that when Jackson arrived at UCLA, staff had to use "aggressive resuscitation" to establish a pulse and a heartbeat, which eventually stopped. In the lead up to Murray's trial – if that actually happens, it is inevitable details such as these will take center stage in the media's coverage. What is also certain, is that this coverage will focus almost exclusively on the most sensational aspects of Jackson's alleged drug dependency for maximum effect and maximum ratings.

In the eye of this storm, the fate of Doctor Murray, a man who increasingly bears the look of someone completely bewildered as to how he arrived at his infamy, seems almost surreal. While the media have consistently placed Murray sharply front and center of the investigation into his death, they have so far declined any public self-reflection on the part they arguably played in creating – or at least, exacerbating the conditions that brought Jackson within touching distance of a fatal tragedy.

This is not a defence of where Murray stands along the line of causality that led to the death of Jackson. Involuntary manslaughter, a paradoxically catch-all yet legally tight charge with barely punitive consequences for someone found guilty of it, needs only the component of reckless judgement to be present, and Murray looks likely to qualify. But the focus by the media – and indeed many of the fans, on Murray's still-to-be-determined culpability, is in reality, also limited. While not exactly the 'fall guy' his defense team have cast him as, the truth is, Murray, who had only been in his ex-employer's life for three years before Jackson died – is not only the only player in this story.

Famously reticent, Jackson – after the success of Off The Wall in 1979 and the phenomenon of Thriller in1982 – had long ago retreated behind carefully constructed PR statements and controlled press calls in an attempt to limit an already chaffing over-exposure. Already no stranger to the knife, in 1979, Jackson had rhinoplasty surgery to remedy damage sustained during a dance session. Later, he would have surgery to restore cohesion to his scalp after the serious burn injuries he suffered while filming a 1984 PepsiCo commercial. By the late 80's, while he was still relatively comparable to 'little Michael' from his Motown days with his brothers, the media were still a relatively neutral presence in Jackson's life. Fantastic tales of 'wacko's' exotic lifestyle at Neverland played in the public gallery as evidence of a bizzare but adorable boy/child.

This neutrality eroded, as Jackson's physicality changed more radically and his perceived 'oddness' began to attract much more criticism and attention in the intervening years between his highly successful Bad tour and the beginning of his promotional chores to support the release of his Dangerous album in 1991. For years, beyond reach of curious onlookers to the magic kingdom he seemed to inhabit, it would, be the momentous events of 1993 that would shatter forever the fragile stand-off that existed between Jackson and the press.

Attempting to scope an overview of the most turbulent and devastating years of Jackson's life is almost impossible for one reason. So much of the truly important information was not covered by the journalists and networks paid to do just that. Most Americans remain unaware to this day that the 'facts' they were presented with in both 1993 or 2003/5, bore no resemblance to the truth of what was actually behind the headlines and ubiquitous Jackson media coverage. The ambivalence that many people have about Jackson's legacy hinges on these omissions, and it for that reason that retracing the steps of the media-led immolation of Jackson's name and reputation remains an important task.

It would of course be both ridiculous and naïve to have expected journalists, editors, and TV networks to have ignored the commercial news 'value' of the accusations Jackson faced from 1993 onwards. But in charting the negative narrative pursued by an entire industry, it can be clearly seen that the media's behavior as a whole – and that of certain individuals within it, went way beyond acceptable standards for any profession. The highly effective 'monsterdom' of Michael Jackson was both deliberate and systematic. But in examining its construction, it is possible we may come to understand how a myth was built.

Most people think they know Jackson's life-story:

Boy accuses Jackson in 1993, Jackson goes missing, Jackson cries on TV, Jackson pays boy off. Jackson gets weirder and whiter, dangles baby off balcony, appears in a documentary with disastrous results, stands trial in 2005 – then gets off because he's a celebrity.

Except that behind these captured media moments lies a much more complex story. A human story.

In relation to 1993: The context of the ferocious custody battle between Jordan Chandler's parents, the use of a controversial drug to extract an accusation from a child, overwhelming evidence to suggest Jordan's father, Evan Chandler, planned and managed to extort Jackson aided by unscrupulous lawyers manipulating the no-win situation of a molestation accusation, and the real reasons why the financial settlement was paid, were given little to no meaningful attention by the media.

Once lit, the biggest story of the early 90's was fanned into a fire by specific media outlets, tabloid brokers, and television journalists using compromised sources – all of which obscured crucial facts from the American public. The reasons are obvious enough.

An industry that needs a fast turnover of fresh news to shift copy and attract audiences is not motivated to 'slow' a news story down. The speed at which a story develops creates its own momentum, regenerating itself in the process. For headlines to have their day, something has to give – and in 1993, it was Michael Jackson.

In the last two decades, the advent of satellite news gathering (SNG) changed the face of the television news industry. Satellite news vehicles could drive to the scene of major stories anywhere and transmit on-site. When the allegations against Jackson first broke on a local LA news channel, few could have guessed that Jackson, at the time a much loved artist and known advocate of childrens' welfare, would so quickly become 'first blood' for the radical new era of 24-hour 'rolling' news reporting.

For America, the first hint of the media saturation that was to come began on August 23, 1993. KNBC-TV, broke the news that Neverland had been raided in its early evening news slot.They had been tipped off the day before by Don Ray, a freelance reporter living in Burbank at the time, after he himself had been called by a source in the early hours the day before. Ray, describing the media tsunami that followed said he, " watched this story go away like a freight train." Indeed it did.

The Jackson coverage would make the hot story 'de jour' – the revelations of Heidi 'Hollywood Madam' Fleiss's black book – pale in comparison. In her 1994 article 'Was Michael Jackson Framed: The untold story' journalist Mary A. Fischer wrote, " within 24 hours, Jackson was the lead story on seventy-three TV news broadcasts in the Los Angeles area alone and was on the front page of every British newspaper."

One of those front pages belonged to Caroline Graham, back then a journalist at the Rupert Murdoch owned British tabloid, The Sun. After an early tip-off, Graham, convinced her editor to hold the front page. The Sun's morning edition ran with 'Jacko Child Abuse Probe ' as its headline story on August 23. The rest of Fleet Street jumped on the scandal a day later.

The pace of events would avalanche, however, as a direct result of the leak of a confidential document to an American TV reporter at Hard Copy – a syndicated tabloid news television show, and its sale within hours to Splash News Service, an LA based agency that operated as a de facto 'clearing house' for tabloid news stories.

A go-between for the anonymous source of the leak met Hard Copy reporter Diane Dimond and her producer Steve Doran, in the early evening of August 23 at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. They would leave that meeting with an illegally obtained copy of a report detailing the accusations made by Jordan Chandler and his father Evan Chandler (now deceased), in an interview with the LA Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS). Hard Copy insisted it did not pay for a copy.

Aware of the impending leak, Jackson's security adviser at the time, Anthony Pellicano, in an attempt to beat the press at their own game, held a press conference on August 24. Confirming the investigation was over child abuse claims, Pellicano's disclosure sent seismic ripples through an already bated media.

The reaction to Pellicano's confirmation amongst the media – barely controlled hysteria.

At a time when the police were officially "not disclosing " any information, the threat of the DCFS leak had already claimed its first consequence. It would compel Pellicano to pre-empt the leak, thus revealing the nature of a police investigation that had barely begun to gather evidence. Journalist, Allan Hall, then based at The Mirror – a British tabloid, recalls that at the time, " you had a sense that people were flying in from all over the world." Such was the media appetite for Jackson news that within 48 hours literally hundreds of journalists descended on the City of Angels.

The explosion in ratings across the media that the release of descriptions of graphic, unproven allegations against Jackson generated, would only make the TV networks and editors more willing to pay for information from compromised sources and tabloid brokers. This practice would directly affect the direction and substance of the criminal investigation against Jackson. It would also have a direct bearing on the pressure felt by Jackson and his lawyers when the civil suit was filed in September 1993.

The decision by TV executives, producers, newspaper editors and reporters to use an illegally obtained document to broadcast incendiary accusations to the public, represents the critical point at which the media essentially 'entered' the state's investigation. Nothing had been established, no charges had been made. But yet headlines went around the world linking Jackson's name to something that even the suggestion of – destroys.

On August 25, Dimond, with an overtly 'he's guilty' slant, told an audience of approximately 6.1 million (Nielsen figures), that the report Hard Copy had " exclusively "obtained was " extremely graphic and detailed.right down to the sexual act." Splash, busy fielding offers for copies from LA to Tel Aviv at $750 a time, ensured that the next day every television screen in America tuning in to either NBC, ABC, CNN, would have seen the words written by the social worker who conducted Jordan's interview, " while laying next to each other in bed, Mr Jackson put his hand under [the child's] shorts, " flashing up on their screens.

In those first early days, the real damage to Jackson came not from the police, but from the media roar created by 24-hour rotation of the same allegations, the same pictures, the same soundbites. This roar, would allocate air-time only to the most lurid details of the accusations. The broadcasting of the DCFS report on prime-time television as well as accelerating the pace of the Jackson story, also clearly directed the public to form an opinion based only on an accusation – not proven fact.

The facts were these:

Jordan Chandler, the child at the centre of the allegations, whose family first befriended Jackson in May 1992, categorically denied being molested by Jackson until he was removed from the custody of his mother, June Chandler. Up until August 1993, the only person accusing Jackson of anything, was his father – Evan Chandler.

The relationship between Jordan's divorced parents, already fractious, deteriorated rapidly when Evan's attempts to convince Jackson to buy him a house failed. It was only after this rejection that Evan first raised the issue of molestation. And it was only when Jordan was under the physical control of Evan – a man who would seriously assault his own son in 2006 – that he would then accuse Jackson.

Evan, a dentist, who at one point only narrowly avoided losing his licence after the Board of Dental Examiner's found his work revealed "gross inefficiency " and who aspired to a full time career as a scriptwriter – owed his ex-wife $ 68,000 in child support and had shown little interest in Jordan until he became aware of Jackson's friendship with his son. In 1994, Mary A. Fischer quoted Dave Schwartz, Jordan's step-father, as saying he believed Evan's reasons for insisting Jackson had molested his son were because [Evan] " wants money."

June Chandler, until told by the police in late August '93 that Jackson 'fit the profile of a pedophile,' repeatedly stated that she did not believe Evan's accusations. Her lawyer at the time, Michael Freeman, would tell Frontline in November 1993 (aired Febuary '94) that June 'changed' her mind when she became afraid she would be prosecuted for parental neglect.

The existence of considerable collateral evidence, in the form of tape recordings Schwartz secretly made of conversations between him and Evan between June and July 1993, as well as eye-witness statements, support the view that it was when Evan engaged the services of Barry Rothman – a Los Angeles lawyer with a savage reputation and code violations from the California State Bar against his name – that Evan actualized his intention to extort Jackson.

On July 11, Jackson's lawyer, Bertram Fields, in an effort to head off the lawsuit he had seen coming when Jackson first told him that Evan was demanding a meeting with him back in June, agreed to Evan and Rothman's demand that Jordan be allowed to stay with Evan for one week.

Jordan would never return to his mother's custody. Crucially, it would be over the course of the next few weeks following this transfer of custody that Jordan would accuse Jackson in the presence of a third party.

From July 12 through to August, documental evidence suggests that procedural steps were put in place by Rothman to secure Evan's custody of Jordan, and to ensure that continued.

On June 15, Rothman presented a hypothetical abuse scenario to Mathias Abrams, a psychiatrist who, without meeting either Evan or Jordan, supplied Rothman with a written statement that, " events as presented above provide the basis for the conclusion that reasonable suspicion would exist that sexual abuse may have occurred." If evidence were needed of premeditation by Evan Chandler and Rothman to allege molestation, to many this would be it.

The use of the drug Sodium Amytal on Jordan during 'necessary' dental work by Evan and an attendant anesthesiologist, Mark Torbiner, would be the turning point in these events. Jordan would tell child pyschologist Richard Gardner (now deceased) from the Los Angeles Sexally Exploited Child Unit that when he "woke up," he remembered being asked if "anything had ever happened between [him] and Michael." Jordan, still under the influence of the drug, would reply that it had. Evan Chandler would later state that this was the first time Jordan confessed that Jackson had touched his penis.

From August 4 to August 16, Evan and Rothman initiated the negotiations with Pellicano.Their demand:

$ 20 million from Jackson. In those meetings, it was understood that this money would prevent Evan from making his accusations about Jackson public. These negotiations had irretrievably broken down by August 13.

On August 16, June Chandler, realizing Evan intended to keep her from her son indefinitely, authorized her attorney, Freeman, to apply to the court for the return of Jordan to her custody. Freeman informed Rothman that this order would be applied for the next morning. Rothman immediately informed his client, Evan.

The next day, August 17, Evan took his son Jordan to the psychiatrist Mathias Abrams that Rothman had already primed for exactly this turn of events. Jordan repeated the molestation story. Mathis, required by California law to report such as accusation did so, as Evan and Rothman would have known he would.

The dangers inherent in the use of Sodium Amytal are well documented. Suffice it to say, no other dentists or psychiatrists at the time in 1993 – or indeed now, recommend its use on a child, in the course of dentistry, or as an adequate basis on which any accusation made while 'under' such a drug should ever be upheld as legally or ethically authentic.

Evan, himself, corroborated that he sanctioned the administering of the drug when he was interviewed in 1994 by a reporter from LA's KCBS-TV on May 3, 1994. The news report quoted Evan confirming that he had, " used the drug on his son, but the dentist claimed he did so only to pull his son's tooth and that while under the drug's influence, the boy came out with allegations. "

Despite, unsubstantiated claims circulating on the internet that investigative journalist, Mary A. Fischer, no longer stands by her 1994 GQ article on Jackson, this is not the case. As recently as November 25, 2005, when Jackson had already been acquitted several months before, Fischer restated and updated her 1994 findings about Evan's use of Sodium Amytal on his son. In an interview with Greta Van Sustren on Fox News's – On The Record, Fischer said,

"It's a powerful psychiatric drug which, when under the influence of, a person is highly suggestible. And that drug was given to the boy by the father of the boy and the father's friend who was a dental anesthesiologist. The dental anesthesiologist gave the boy the drug in a dentist's office." Fischer also reconfirmed that in 1993, "there was no corroborating evidence. As there often is in these cases of alleged child molestation, it's easy for someone to make an accusation, but it's very hard to defend against it."

But perhaps the single most important detail that reveals extortion was at the heart of 1993, is the most obvious one. Before the allegations went public, and while the protracted negotiations for a financial settlement that Evan initiated were still progressing, the easiest thing for Jackson to have done would have been to simply pay Evan what he wanted. Jackson did not do this.

Fischer, speaking on a PBS documentary in 1994 observed, "They couldn't reach any kind of mutual agreement, but had they been able to, the interesting thing about it [is], this case would have never gone beyond this room."

This simple fact was apparently lost on the journalists, networks, TV pundits, and general public in 1993, who did not challenge the fact that in an apparently criminal situation where he suspected that his son had been molested, Evan Chandler sought the advice of a notoriously ruthless civil lawyer instead of simply going to the police.

Given that Anthony Pellicano widely distributed the secret recordings of Evan and Schwartz's converstions to the press and CBS, who rushed out the first exclusive coverage of the tapes, a snapshot of the headlines surfacing just days after the allegations first broke, reveals where the media intended to stand on the subject of Jackson's innocence.

'Peter Pan or Pervert?' asked both the New York Post and The Sun in Britain, within days of the story breaking. 'Michael Jackson: A Curtain Closes' opined one, Britain's The Mirror kept it simple and punned one of Jackson's past hits with 'He's Bad', while The Sun ran with 'Jackson Used Me As A Sex Toy,' and The Washington Post – 'Malice In Wonderland.' Even the serious publications stepped into the fray. Notably Newsweek's 1993 cover, 'Is he Dangerous or Just Off The Wall?' and Time's, 'Michael Jackson: The End of Innocence?' would take the debate beyond just the tabloids' walls.

Despite the media's efforts though; a little over seven days after the allegations had broken, and a concerted campaign of damage-control consisting of press conferences called by Pellicano showcasing Wade Robson and Brett Barnes as examples of Jackson's 'healthy' relationships with children, expressions of unity from Jackson's own family, and playbacks of Evan's voice threatening, "it will be a massacre if I don't get what I want " to assembled press scrums – had resulted in a degree of softening towards Jackson in the public's mind.

Opinion polls at the time compiled by A Current Affair, Entertainment Weekly and The National Enquirer, suggested well over 70 % of Michael's target audience, teens and females did not believe the allegations. This percentage was considerably higher amongst African- Americans.

Just when the extortion component of the story was beginning to emerge as a viable reason for the allegations, the media found a way to reignite a story that was in danger of resolving itself. In the absence of any personal statement from Jackson, the momentary 'gain' generated by the release of the tapes, would be shortlived.

Billed at the time as 'explosive new revelations,' the first of these 'witnesses' would be Stella and Phillipe Lemarque, former chefs at Neverland. Using Hollywood investigator and well known tabloid broker, Paul Baressi (known to occasionally use firearms during fee negotiations,) the Lemarques attempted to sell their story that they had seen Jackson 'abusing' the child actor Macaulay Culkin to anyone waving a checkbook. Their story was eventually sold first to The Mirror for an unspecified amount, headlining their exclusive as 'Jacko's New Home Slur,' and subsequently in The globe for $15,000 who ran with 'Peter Pan or Pervert: We caught Jackson Abusing Child Star.'

Lemarque, who alleged that Jackson's technique was to 'get' children so overstimulated that they barely noticed what Jackson was doing to them, when subsequently cross-examined in 2005 by Jackson's lead lawyer, Thomas Meseareau, would admit that Barresi had advised him that saying Jackson's hand was inside Culkin's shorts instead of outside, would significantly raise the asking price they could sell their story for. Indeed, writer Maureen Orth in her 1994 article 'Nightmare in Neverland,' wrote that Barresi actually showed her two written versions of the Lermarques 'story,' that clearly revealed how the fee affected the content.

In '93, after the Lemarque story broke, Culkin publicly denied he had been molested by Jackson. But the press barely covered it, some even suggesting Culkin's denial was an attempt to 'save face.' In Jackson's 2005 trial, Culkin, who was strangely not called by the prosecution as a witness even though under the prosecution's own 'prior acts' criteria he qualified as one of the 'victims,' insisted on testifying after Mr Lemarque's testimony. Under oath, Culkin adamantly denied any such incident occurred and also described the accusations of molestation against Jackson as " absolutely ridiculous." It has since emerged that in 1997 Lemarque owned and ran a hardcore website called 'Virtual Sin,' which has since folded.

However, back in 1993, without the benefit of hindsight to evaluate the Lemarques's credibilty, their story would add considerable fuel to an already blazing fire. The pressure on Jackson, increased simply because the media were willing to pay the price the Lemarques demanded.

The Lemarques 'revelations' would be swiftly followed by two former housekeepers from the Phillipines – the Quindoys. Three days after the first news of the allegations, ABC would send a reporter to Manila to hear their 'eye-witness' account. And once again, the media would pay for the privilege. Meanwhile, Diane Dimond at Hard Copy was also keen to speak to the Quindoys'. The bidding was about to begin.

The fees asked for by 'witnesses' and paid by the media would come to thousands, so great was the demand and commercial value of 'fresh' news in the Jackson story. As Paul Barresi would tell Frontline in1993 (aired Febuary '94), " someone just has to have a story, a half-truth, and you mix with it with a little venom, then you have a tabloid story. "

I strongly agree with your June 30th, 2010 2:47 pm ET post!

Staying strong and positive while celebrating the message!
Much Love to you!

mjj4ever777 thank you for your wonderful post. All MJ fans should read this...

ATTENTION for those of you who love Michael as much as I do...Please take the time to read this!

First let me assure you that I come in peace. Next I ask you to hear me out before making any judgment calls.This is all in the name of LOVE.
I ask each and everyone of you who reads this, how much does Michael Jackson really mean to you?

My dear friends, there have been many things that have occurred since June 25th 2009, that "believers" and "non believers" don't agree on and that is ok,as everyone is entitled to their own opinions.But whether you think Michael is "dead" or "alive", whether you believe he was "murdered" or whether you believe everything is a " carefully planned "production", I ask you to put all of that aside for just a few minutes. Please just open your mind to what I have to say as I believe it is very important.
Believers and non believers...how did we as Michael Jackson fans become so divided at a time as crucial as the "death" of the man that bonds us all together? I mean the one thing we all have in common is the fact that we LOVE Michael Jackson and I hope that we all know what he "stood"or "stands" for!!!
Michael spent his entire life trying to unite the world with love. He endured trials and tribulations that no man should ever have had to endure, especially a man like Michael who spent his life dedicated to helping those in need! Michael Jackson was, is and will always be a true Humanitarian...a giver of Love, a giver to the sick and helpless, a giver to those of us who just wanted to listen to his music...he gave, gave, gave and how do we repay him? We wait until he "dies" and then, the people who he thought understood him the most became divided!! How is that for a kick in the face to Michael? Do you think this "division" among his fans would make him happy? NO WAY!!!

If you really truly love Michael, then I ask all Believers and non Believers to please take a few minutes and take a look back on the life of Michael Jackson. Go and listen to the lyrics of his songs...i recommend "Cry", Earth Song, TDRCAU, Black and white, Heal the world, man in the mirror, WILL YOU BE THERE...you get my point, but please, really study those lyrics. Then take a few minutes to check out some of his album covers, watch some of his videos...not only his music, but his "speeches and interviews.' then take a few minutes to watch even one or two videos on "NWO"and "EWO" "Haarp" etc...just open your minds for a moment
Then after doing that, take a look at what is happening around us right now. Do you ever remember a time when Mother Earth was so volatile? Every day we wake up to more death and destruction and what do we do about it? We sit back and think that oh well "we" don't have to worry about it, they will take care of itl! And Michael said " they who, it's up to us!"
Michael has given us sooo many clues throughout his career, as to what "was"or "is" important to him. He made it abundantly clear that we need to make that change!. When we had him here with us, he "tried" to guide us on a path to "CHANGE". He taught us that bringing Love back into the world was important, but we didn't listen! "We had him" folks, just like Maya Angelou said at the "memorial", but when we had him, we didn't make an effort to change!We said we would, but words are just that...words! Actions speak louder than words. Speaking of the memorial, go back and listen to every word spoken during that ceremony and while doing so, close your eyes and let the words you hear, be spoken through Michael, hear his voice, see if you hear his "messages" in those words, some of you may be surprised!

So I ask you this, if we had him and we didn't get it, isn't it a "possibility" that he HAD to "die" in order for us to truly get his message? And because he did "die" are we going to let that be in vain also???
So for those who believe he is gone and are seeking "JUSTICE4MJ"..would this not be "poetic" justice, to honor the man we all love, by being more open minded to all possibilities and to BELIEVE in the importance of his message and the importance of spreading his knowledge to others, in honor of him?
And to all the "believers"...Has Michael's message not reached you either? Must we continue to look for clues and wonder when he is coming back? Must we lose hope at the drop of a hat? What kind of army is that? Certainly not one of Love! Do you honestly believe that Michael did all of this, planned out every last detail, to reward us with a comeback, when we have failed so miserably at understanding what this "hoax" is all about? Do you think he had nothing better to do, then go to all this trouble,to find out we don't get the "message" and then we expect him to come back and reward us with his presence??? FOR WHAT? Failing the "Test".
I'm really afraid that we have done a great injustice to Michael, whether you "Believe", or not!
Michael does not owe us anything!!We owe him!! We need to show Michael...no..., we need to show ourselves, that Michael's life was not in vain...we need to unite all of Michael's family together once again and we need to fight for our rights as human beings, because if we don't, we are truly doomed.That is a fact!
Michael wants us to do this for ourselves..he has given us the tools and the knowledge and now it is up to us.
Michael has been a Hero to all of us for a very long time..it is time for MJ fans around the world to join their hands together and let us reunite again! Let us show Michael that we heard his Pleas for Peace, Love, Understanding and yes,Change. It is time for us to become Michael's heroes! If we fail now, we have failed the one person who has given us so much...Michael! Do you want to live with that for the rest of your lives? I don't.

I could go on and on and on, but if you don't understand by now, well I am truly sorry. I truly hope that everyone will take the time to reflect on all this, because, what harm can it do? if you still can't "connect the dots" in this wonderful adventure, let me say this, the answer has been there right in front of our eyes the whole time.As a wise man once told me, "we only see what we want to see". It is time to raise awareness to everyone and anyone who will listen!We need to open our eyes and our minds, to all possibilities...We need to Believe to Achieve! We need to raise our voices as one... for if there is no UNITY, there is no HOPE! We need to show Michael that WE CAN DO THIS!!!
L.O.V.E= look, observe verify everything
L.O.V.E= law of vibrational energy
L.O.V.E = love overcomes virtually EVERYTHING!!

Only good things will happen, when we use love to guide our way...trust me the reward will be worth it...its not too late, but it may be soon!
Trust in yourselves my MJ family...Michael got "us" to where we are right now, lets let him know that "we" can take it from here!!! sound familiar??

Thank you for taking the time to read this....lets make Michael and ourselves proud!
With the L.O.V.E

I am really happy that MJ3 has not been used/exploited to make money off MIchael's death...yet. Katherine...my heart breaks for her loss but she is no dummy and she is making a huge chunk of change etc. off Michael's death. I know Michal loved his mother but with the shady dealings she has been involved with, maybe she should just take care of MJ3 and stop trying so hard to make $ that she really doesn't need because the per month estate cash is more than enough for a village to live off.. Now, this is my opinion and is not intended to offend, nor had my opinions to date...so all the nasty cats etc. can just go purr elsewhere!! And I guess I will leave the blogs when I feel like it...meow!!!

I felt that Chris Brown's performance was heartfelt as he idolized Michael is entire life and that is one of the most powerful songs to sing.
My mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say about someone you should just keep quiet, I really try not to have an opinion about Jermaine but when his name is mentioned "Word to the Badd" keeps popping into my head. I don't know how a family member even if angered or hurt could write and sing a song like that about his own flesh and blood knowing the world would be listening. Maybe he could heed his own advice, "I'm just very emotional just knowing what has happened. Chris Brown is a human being, and we all make mistakes. We can't condemn him for what has happened. We hope he has learned from it."
I don't think I have ever heard him publicly apologize for what he said in that song about Michael.

Just my opinion....I know I am no judge of someone else's character.

Sharing a post I found on another site:

For all "Believers" and "Non Believers"...MUST READ

With the L.O.V.E

@All,Good evening to you All! I want to say ,as Jodi Gomes said 'redemption ' as regards cris brown .Who of any of us is perfect? Havent we all done something we wished we shouldnt have? Let me be the first to say ....I certainly have.
Once again ,I hope we can look at Michaels family ,as any othere ,one with ups and downs ,challenges ,imperfections,etc.we too need to understand ,the brothers ,get royalties still from their hard work ,and have never stopped working ! and somehow .,I feel any negative comments toward Michaels family ,would just hurt ,him more.would we dare to say the things we write to their faces? and do we really understand the dynamics ,here?
Lastly ,the message is about L.o.v.e...can we improve ,and try to imagine how it would feel to be spoken of in such an unkind way? I say this with Love, there is plenty of ...hate...out there ,lets choose to different!
I Love you all ,and cris ,you are still a gentleman ,and fun too! Love to All maria C.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” –Corinthians

Love will always be a part of our lives. It is the emotion that God has given us to use for him and to other people.

It's all for L.O.V.E...

Love to ALL!!!!

@Marguerite

Thank You

@LoveConquersAll
Much Love To You

For change to happen each and every one of us has to make that change. Not tomorrow or next week. But now, today. No more negativity, no more bashing, no more attacking, If you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all. Treat everyone at all times the way you want to be treated. No more knifing others in the back. The list goes on and on but I think everyone understand s exactly what I mean.

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)

Now comes the hard part to show you actually want to make that change. If you are want to make that change then say so. But you have to mean it and once said there is no turning back .

I Marguerite Want To Make That Change and the Change starts now.

Great articles posted today everyone! I hope the bloggy don't go away when Larry leaves we all have become virtual friends here and I would miss all the information I get too.
I agree Lori your post about a platform here...afterall this is where it all began.When the trial starts we will need to vent.

@marguerite my friend so true

I WANT TO MAKE THAT CHANGE AND THE CHANGE STARTS NOW

its time to put our differences aside
unite together and stand side by side
lets listen to the words of our king of dance
we all deserve a second chance
is every bridge so tattered and torn
that no seconds chances can be reborn
has his message all been in vain
its time to unite cos L.O.V.E is the name

i believe i will be there its all for love love is free

Oh my gosh True
what are you gonna do
Larry leaving and going away

but if larry reconsiders and decides to stay

@True,
Listen to what I have to say.....

don't stop and think with hesitation
it's easy I tell you just make a reservation
and Larry will belong to True
now isn't that an easy thing to do

Judie and True-To-You.I like your little rhymes very cute they are.(Smiles) to yous.

LOL you guys! Judie and True are on a roll tonight! I bet Larry's loving it!

@Lois...hello hope everything is going well for you.

Hello everyone! I hope y'all are doing OK. I feel like we just went through it all again. And once was more than enough.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL 8)
DR. QUACK IS WACK

@

@

The crowd is tense, the stage is bare.
They look to see, no one is there.
A light snaps on, he stands chest bare.
A wraith like image, they catch his stare.

The music starts, a pulsing rhyme,
His body sways and moves in time.
His hands are raised, his voice, it soars
The crowd ignites, as one it roars.

His dancing, moving like no other,
sends daughters screaming for their mother.
He gives his all, his heart and soul
His music makes the young feel whole.

The lights go dim, he moves away,
To show his magic another day.
The toll it takes no one can see
To be the best for you and me.

All his life he's had to bear
The load of always being there.
To give his life, his heart and soul
Exposed to all, as in a bowl.

No chance to simply be himself,
Forever being on the shelf.
He cannot do the simple things,
Like simple folk, no joy it brings.

Why should he be the one to pay
The price of fame, to fade away?

@judie my friend

a reservation is not for me
a home cooked meal i prefer you see
i have every guys name in my book
the ones i know who can cook
theres ronald the colonel and mr kipling to
now will larry cook a meal for true

i believe i will be there its al for love love is free

Oh my dear World,
what has gone wrong,
You aren't what I remember,
where have you gone,
No more freedom for children,
in their play as a child,
Pestisides are being sprayed,
with chemicals of growth gone wild,
A goal to make more money,
is the carrot dangling in the eye,
Places of worship are empty,
our faith is lost but why?
Marriage is no longer sacred,
a divorce is the new trend,
Respect is not shown,
in violence we defend,
A World of before,
for I really do miss,
A World I do remember,
a memory thats nothing like this!

Bless You All~

"Being a fan of Michael does not mean one has to be a fan of his family" "do not assume we all feel that sense of extended loyalty. The family was not the support system they pretend portray now, and they were not a close knit unit...and that is truth. They are a business institution and are out for their own self interests, which now seems to be making money off Michael's death."

____________________________________________________

I couldn't agree with you more, spot on!!!

everyone is entitled to an opinion, and for those who support the jacksons, so be it, but for the others who see them for who and what they are, they TOO have the right to express their feelings as such. after all this IS Larry King's blog, and not a jackson family fan site!!!

there is no such thing as leave the jacksons alone, when they crave the spotlight as much as they do. and it's a total shame (IMO) to see the lows they have gone to exploit Michael. no other family is out and about promoting record labels and artists every chance they get. who else is pointing the fingers at everyone else, but themselves for the destruction of Michael. maybe the jacksons should take a good look in the mirror first before blaming others.

Michael was smart to leave the Johns in charge of his estate, because with his family at the helm, his estate would be worthless in no time, with no financial security for his kids.

Chris Brown was amazing, I would like to share my thoughts with the family about moving Micheal remains to never lands, I personally think that they should exhume Micheal's body and cremate his remains then build a monument with his remains inside. At the moment the fans need to have access to him,just like ELVIS.

While I agree Chris Brown deserves a second chance I have to go with my feelings, Michael would never hurt/abuse a woman or anyone for that matter. Usher would have been much better at paying tribute to Michael, he's a good guy , was great friends with him & could have done MJ's moves much better.

As far as what Jermaine has to say I could care less, Jermaine is out for himself along with many of the Jackson's.

I have respect for Katherine, Janet & Michael's children & will keep them in my prayers.

Thank you all for your love and support, sunflowers, white roses, cards and letters you sent or brought in celebration. I especially love the sunflowers with the eyes. I'm sorry the whole family couldn't be together on June 25th but we're a show business family and some members had other commitments. We're all a family though, one big family, just know that.

I love you all. I really do. It's all for love...L.O.V.E.

LoveConquersAll – thank you.

Lori- I feel I need to say this. If a performer is a good performer that is one thing, it doesn't mean their character is great. I say this because you mentioned Usher as a better choice because he's a "good guy." I mention this because I know personally that he is a very nasty person- especially to non-famous people. That is how a lot of celebrities are personally. If we went by their character, there would be no entertainment industry. I think it is kind of a shame that all the Jackson's are getting a bad rap except for KJ, Janet and the kids. So ALL his relatives are out for money. Besides, Genieve which I heard is coming out with music a lot of them release music independently and are working on film independently. What is wrong with that? How would we feel if all our family squabbles was put in print and had people all over the world judging it. Really think about that, I don't care who you are no one comes from a family that is perfect and if all your family's dirty laundry was aired like the Jacksons, a lot of people wouldn't know how to face the public. Some of you will probably reply and say, "my family would NEVER......"- really, how do you know how they would react being raised the way the Jacksons were, actually in the same situation they were in. How do you know the relationship he had with his family???? People here are judging the Jacksons, why not the Kennedys??? How are they any better??? The Jacksons entertained for their fortune, how did they make their money??? How many scandals do they have???? Why aren't there specials on the kids in that family???? That is one example, that many here throwing stones should think about-how would you like it if you were wearing those shoes?????

@ *Michael...L.O.V.E.*
Thank you for your comment and I know that. I have missed you here, hope you come more often, till then take care and I love you more, you know that. 🙂

@ Tatiana

I love you most. I've been secretly checking in from time to time. The misinformation on the blog keeps me amused. You take care, too.

Michael...L.O.V.E.*
Hey bud nice to see your post hope you and your family are grand
Sending you ((((hugs)))))))) Michael dont let go of my hand 😉

The bashing continues those with no brains have no feelings
Give a dog a tail to catch see them run
MJ YOU ROCK MY SOCKS QIRBTL

@ *Michael...L.O.V.E.*
I am happy that the missinformation on the blogs keep you amused and not sad, always smile my friend, "see" you soon here, I hope. Love and blessings to you.

@Family is family when the chips are down we stand strong.No one has the right to judge michaels family we are just outsiders looking in we dont see the bigger picture.Michael loves and cherishes is family it is just ignorant for us to asume that we know them leave them be.Can any of us possibly say we always love are siblings all the time No they annoy us anger us but at the end of the day it is night when it matters the bond is strong .Would you like it if someone publicly bashed your family

MICHAEL STAY STRONG WE HAVE YOUR BACK HUN:)

@Mr A

Hope all is well with you and yours. Here is just a small something that I hope that you like.
Friends are angels sent down to Earth to make good days and
and help us find our way.

A friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches
your heart.

A Friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of
one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the
gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth
keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

So, please do not let negativeness, chase you away.
Hugs, Love & Blessings...Letta

As Teddy Riley said in an interview (talking about MJ) "He wanted to kill the world's hate. That was his plan".

Remember his message.

LOVE

Michael Love-- Hi and how are you doing today?

@"Michael...L.O.V.E."

How wonderful to see you here on the blog! Well someone must be feeding that misinformation from somewhere however the question is do we have to believe it??

Do hope you are keeping well. Much Love, Light and Peace to you.

A true friend is someone you can trust with all your secrets.

You can make more friends in two minutes by being interested
in them than you can in two weeks by trying to get them interested in you.

Letta, True and Pixie Dust-– To you three who Have Decided To Make That Change I hold out my hand to you.

mjsalive-well said.

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!!

@Angie Pie
Hello my dear friend. I know that some days you have a bad time with loads of work. I pray and hope that my daily words help's some and help's other also who may enjoy reading them.

Love is patient, love is kind,
Love does not insist on its own way.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
Hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
– I Corinthians 13:4-8

Now abide, faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of
these is Love.
– I Corinthians 13:13

When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through washing of rebirth, and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior; so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life .Titus 3: 4-7

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men and women. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks.

To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.

We may think God wants actions of a certain kind, but God wants people of a certain kind.

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

Sorry, that it is long , got carry away a little. I get excited at times with spirtual words. Love Hugs, & Blessings to ALL Letta

@Michael L.O.V.E

What would life be with out friends like thee
I'll tell you, like no longer being free.
Imagine what life would be so sad and blue
To go through life without that special you.
And I know we live so far away
Through the internet we are like castaways
Never get to touch or hug you for this I only pray
For some day I hope we can meet
To hug and laugh and dance to the beat
I know this would be a treat
For now this is all I see
Is my good friend here with me
Just think what life would be
Without friends like thee

Much Love To You

@Michael Love
Hello, great to see you post again. Hope that all is great with you and yours. Your post was nicely stated. Hope that you continue to post more. Hugs, Love, & Blessings. Letta

Letta-
Thank you for your quotes and thoughts in the last couple of days. There is so much truth in each word that you have posted and they are words that I have needed to hear. Thank You!!

Missing MJ and Marguerite-
I 100% support what you both have said!! No matter what side of the fence we are on the message is the same "Make the Change" I am on board and am thankful to you both for making the main thing the main thing!!

To all remember the words of our president:
"We are the ones that we have been waiting for. We are the change that we seek in the world."

What have we done today, this week, even this year to make that change?

Michael L.O.V.E.
Glad that you are reading, glad that you are near. . .

A tree alone in a dying wood no leaves to cover an empty grave

There you are 😉

Make that Change......

Our road will be smooth and untroubled, no matter what care
life may send, if we travel the pathway together and walk
side by side with a friend

Begin your friendship with kind words and compliments and
live a lifetime as friends.

@Rhonda
Here a little something for you. Hope that you like my friend.

Friendship is thoughtfulness – its having regard for other people and
their feelings. When you're a true friend you give thought to what would bring others happiness, whether it's a special gift, giving some loving attention, or helping them celebrate a special occasion. It's thinking about how your actions affect others and caring about how they feel.

Awww here a little bit of wisdom too.

The questions you ask consistently will create either enervation
or enjoyment, indignation or inspiration, misery or magic.
Ask the questions that will uplift your spirit and push you
along the path of human excellence.
Love ya...Letta Blessings to you

@Letta

Good morning Letta! 🙂

How are you on this lovely day, dear? I am wonderful, just wonderful and thank you so much for asking. Oh no someone chase me away? That could never happen...could never be! They'd have to physically drag me away whilst kicking and screaming, know this... hahahaha. Although I will admit, yes I was completely caught off guard, taken a back when reading some things on the other blog. It's very unfortunate, truly truly sad the lengths some will go to just to hurt others. I don't understand it and I never will, Letta. Initially I cried...because I was hurt, hurt and confused Letta. How could someone say such horrible things? What is this? Where did this come from?

Then it came to me...an epiphany! NO! I shouldn't be crying, why AM I crying? I know WHO I am...I know WHAT I am and I am none of those horrible things being described or said about me. I am NOT that person...no! It's all quite absurd really...the nerve of some people, to completely make up lies and start horrible rumors. It's completely senseless, useless, evil and WRONG. There is something very wrong here. What are we as a human race...a people becoming? Evolving into? What happened to loving thy neighbor? Having compassion and caring for our fellow brothers and sisters? :'(

Something has to be done...MUST be done. There has to be some type of CHANGE here. We're going downhill, at a rapid speed. This may sound cliche or corny but it starts with YOU...it starts with ME, all of us. We must look deep within ourselves, dig DEEP. Figure out what is really underneath...inside. What is at our core? Our very being, our foundation. We must work on ourselves....transform ourselves. Heal ourselves FIRST. Learn to understand ourselves....love ourselves and then that's when we can begin to be a strong and positive force in the world. That is when we can instill and teach our children and younger generations the qualities of life....we MUST give them that gift, the tools and the knowledge...nurture them, inspire them... and most importantly, we must give them love, show them love...lots and lots of LOVE. They're like little sponges....they absorb and take in EVERYTHING, they will then interiorize all of that, it will stay with them, it will become apart of them, become second nature... all the good that you have taught and instilled into them will make them good, honorable people and they will pass all of those great qualities onto their children and on and on and on. It's like a domino effect of sorts. That is when we can make this world a better place. I truly, truly believe that!

@the blog in a whole

Oh my there are so many wonderful posts here. It's really a beautiful thing to witness, to see...all the love, all the positive vibes. Thank you, all of you.

@All of my wonderful, amazing friends.

Gee, thank you. Thanks for everything, all that you have done and continue to do. I love you all so, so much. I couldn't ask for better virtual friends haha. You're all such wonderfully, beautiful people. You're all good, decent people...with pure and innocent hearts truly. I cherish each and every one of you...I will treasure our friendship for many, many years to come. You all make me so happy and proud, I'm so honored to know you, to be in your precense, to have you as my friends. I have never been happier, I have a certain glow when I'm around you, I light up like aC hristmas tree, yes I do really haha. Thanks for sticking up for me, thanks for coming to my rescue, I truly appreciate all of your kind and uplifting words. Thank you, all of you for the laughs, the fun times...the kind gestures, the love, the friendship, for all that you do for Michael, his children and his family...THANK YOU!

This is never ending exploitation and is just shameful.
What's next...selling his baby curls, baby shoes, baby teeth then perhaps auctioning off sleepovers at the compound where fans can sleep in Michael's old bed?
Poor Michael...no privacy for the departed. Personal memories and private family treasures are obviously not priceless. I hope this is just bs...leave Michael alone to rest in peace!

Katherine Jackson to Produce MJ Movies

7/1/2010 12:25 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned ... Katherine Jackson is knee-deep in a business deal to produce and distribute several movies on Michael Jackson's life, and she is on a collision course with the MJ estate.

Howard Mann, the guy who co-authored Katherine's coffee table book, "Never Can Say Goodbye," is also producing a movie that will feature video from Michael Jackson's childhood through the end of his life.

We're told Katherine has hundreds of hours of video, including the family's big move from Gary, Indiana to L.A. after The Jackson 5 signed with Motown.

We're told Mann just bought the rights to 26 hours of Michael Jackson video ... owned by Michael Jackson's former business partner/confidant Marc Schaffel. We're told Mann has paid Schaffel in the eight figures for the video.

Now here's the problem ... the Michael Jackson estate has the exclusive right to market Michael Jackson's name and image. We're told Mann and company are comfortable with their legal position, because the beneficiaries of the estate - Katherine and Michael's kids - are profiting participants in the movie. In fact, Mann tells TMZ he and Katherine plan on releasing a series of movies.

The estate would not comment, but as far as our research shows, there's no loophole when it comes to marketing Michael Jackson's name and image - whether Katherine and the kids are beneficiaries or not.

Lynn-IL-- Thank you and i reach my hand out to you.

@ Mr A
Hello my kind friend. I had hoped you would post soon. Thank you for your words. Love to you, and see you soon.

PS. How's that new chair working out for you?

@Mr. A
Awww dear Mr. A so very true about change that you posted to Letta. 🙂
Just always remember that you have a beautiful heart and soul. Please, please never let anyone ever tell you different. You are sooooo sweet I just really want to hug you right now! I am so honored that you're my friend. You know I'm always going to stick up for you because I'm not going to let anyone mess with our friend. 😉 Wonderful people like you are so great to be around. Awwwww that is so sweet how you say that you light up like a christmas tree. I light up when I'm around you too. You've no idea... I'm in bliss when you're around. I'm like a child that is being called back into the house from playing with friends. I never want to leave, I get a charge when I'm around you. I wish I hadn't missed your visits the last time you stopped by...I really miss you a lot. I love you plenty and then some. Many hugs and blessings.

My husband went to the Gulf to assist with the clean up...he will be returning next week...what exact;y will you all be doing to 'make that change' other than using this blog to gain attention? Forgive me but talk is cheap.
This blog is for Michael yet I see the same people here all the time using it for their own attention seeking needs.
The topic is regarding Michael...not love and holding hands and hugs and smiles...all the posts about making a difference are useless unless put into action which cannot be done behind the key board patting yourselves on the backs for words..
To those who 'pledge' this I propose you stop wasting these blogs in support of your ideas and put them into action...because God will be witness, so you will have to answer to a higher power other than the LKL blog.
Rest in peace sweet Michael.
You really did work to make a change.

And to profess love to an imposter...make me ill.

@*Michael...L.O.V.E*
It's great to see you here. I hope you're doing very well. Lots of love and hugs

@ Letta, Rhonda
Amazing posts. Honestly, every single one of them are always great. Lots of love my awesome friends. Many hugs and blessings

Good Morning Everyone 🙂 !

@ doubtingthomas2010.....Hi there! I hope all is well with you. I just wanted to comment on your post and @ mjsalive.... about family. I've said from the beginning that I support the Jackson family 100%. I may not agree with everything they say or do, in fact when I see Joe Jackson coming towards a microphone, I cringe! You never know what's going to come out of his mouth. I have family members that drive me nuts BUT I know how and when to deal with them. We don't agree all the time BUT what family does??? At the end of the day, they are still my family and I love them no matter what.

letta(beLIEve), thanks your morning quotes are much appreciated ,really enjoy reading them.you are very sweet (Smiles) to you.

@ *Michael...L.O.V.E.*
Seeing you on this blog brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart! I always look forward to your posts...Hope you visit again soon!
Much Love, Light and Happiness to you!!!

And yes, "It's all for love...L.O.V.E."

Rock With you Horsegirl,thanks for sharing the video.(Smiles) to you.

@ Mr. A
We will always be here for you. You are so kind-hearted and your words uplift our spirits and are truly genuine. Our faith in you is unwavering so please don't feel discouraged. Besides, the thought of you "lighting up like a Christmas tree" makes us SMILE, not to mention, LAUGH!!! (LOL)

We stand ready to come to your rescue at any time, just remember that!

Thank YOU for making my welcome here a very pleasant one...I do appreciate YOU more than you will ever know.
Many Blessings to YOU and to ALL!

@*Michael...L.O.V.E.* and Mr A

Are either one of you the real Michael Jackson?

pat davis,I have to agree with you and mjsalive's posts about family.There is no such thing as a perfect family,no one has a right to judge Michael's family what so ever.Every family has their own way to deal with situations that arise through life.One may not agree ,but is it our place to question, judge or even give an opinion,I think not.As in every family we all strive for happiness,sometimes it isn't all rosey but with that there is always love.Love is the strength that can see a family through.(Smiles) to you..

Good morning/day to the bloggy!

Is it just my imagination, or is this bloggy a whole lot shorter than it was yesterday? I guess the LKL Minions of Moderation (MOM) are hard at work making sure the bloggy is a better place for you and for me.

@pat davis July 1st, 2010 10:06 am ET. I agree with your post about family. We all have them. And sometimes we just don't understand or agree with what the do and say. We can't control them. All we can do is sit back and shake our heads. I guess we can extend this concept and apply it to our bloggy family as well. We don't have to agree with what is posted..but we are all entitled to our opinions whatever they are....

Lynn-IL July 1st, 2010 2:03 am ET ". . .and if you see the Informer tell her we miss her here!!=)" LOL, Lynn, I have been wondering if we would ever see the original The Informer ever again. He/she did promise to return and reveal more information someday. I still want me some crystal embellished boots like Orianthi's.

@Lucero, Luda, Lex, GENE, and everyone else I have missed from back in the day, I hope you are still reading even if you no longer post very much. Hope you are well.

Respect the bloggy. With Larry's retirement looming upon the horizon, who knows how many more opportunities we will have to gather together and blog with one another.

Have a lovely day everyone.

@LoveConquersAll
Hello my friend, so nice to see you again. Can't wait to chat later. Love to you.

LoveConquersAll,your post to Mr.A was very sweet.yes it makes us all smile ,even laugh at the thought of Mr.A lighting up like a Christmas tree.of course we will defend Mr.A as he is a very pleasant, kind. and respectful man.(Smiles) to you.

Change comes from within the heart..
Love is beauty within the soul

I'm sure People on here have been doing good for the Earth for many years..

@LoveConquersAll
Hello 🙂 I hope your day is going well. It's very nice to see you. Such a sweet post you wrote to Mr. A and oh so true. Lots of love

@This is it
Wow your poem is so lovely. Thank you for posting it and for all the beautiful poems you post. Lots of love

@cris
Awwww cris 🙁 I'm sorry that magazine got your number. eeeek I wouldn't want to talk to those people either. I hope they stop bothering you. We love you too cris.

Pat Davis- I fine, thank you I hope you are fine as well. Family is Family.

Marguerite- You're right-Make That Change.

mary u from ohio- the smallest things could make a big difference. I agree.

MJ used his gifts to entertain, but he was strongly about the message and love, peace and caring for the world.

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!

cris- I heard talk of an MJ double that was outside the unvieling in Gary that was too good to be true. Was that you?

cris,that's not good,we know you will make the right choice,be safe and know you are loved.(Smiles) to you.

mary u from ohio,your post at 4:04 pm is very true,thanks for sharing(Smiles) to you!

To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.At the end of the day, a loving family should find everything forgivable.Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.Family is just accident.... They don't mean to get on your nerves. They don't even mean to be your family, they just are.The family is one of nature's masterpieces

I'll gladly donate money for Sneddon to go to trail.

doubtingthomas2010,your comment to cris,that was funny.Strong and positive..(Smiles) to you.

This is it!,Your poem is absolutely beautiful,thank you so kindly for sharing all your poems with us.greatly appreciated.(Smiles) to you.

@ Letta(IbeLIEve) July 1st, 2010 2:32 am ET

Beautifully stated Letta. You are a treasure and a visionary.

With friendship and love, there is always respect, honesty, consideration, forgiveness, openness, kindness, attentiveness, flexibility, understanding, trust, nourish, advocate, champion, encourage, support and defend. There will always be differences of opinions, but with the above; one can meet at a plateau which is favorable for all.

Thank you for reminding us the value of friendships and love! You are one friend I always cherish!

@Letta

Thank You my friend
Yes i liked it
I do try my best because I always try to show love to everyone and respect
I am pretty good at putting others before myself
This is what a friend does
Thank You so much for the beautiful saying
Love To You My Friend

It is sad that in our world the act of forgiveness is no longer. It is our forgiving of others that allows us forgiveness for thigs we have done ourselves. Without forgiveness there isn't love.... we need love – – more love in the world for us to survive.

Since when, does one wrong doing totally define a person – or better yet why does that have to define the future we let them have? Who are we to make that determination. Our JOB is to love, and love says to forgive, to understand, to help one change and give one the opportunity to change.

This performer gave a beautiful tribute to Michael Jackson – weather the tears were performed or were from his heart is for the performer to know himself. It is my understanding that the performer was influenced by Michael Jackson; in other words, Michael Jackson had an influence on his musical career and maybe also in other ways. That is wonderful – do we have to crush that...

Celebrate the magic of Michael Jackson – and remember the wonderful message of Love and Peace he brought to the world everyday of his life. Remember the magic he created the wonderment... these are fantastic gifts... remember and celebrate those – don't continue to tear down people.. these are our brothers in this world.. always remember to LOVE to say I love you and to show acts of love and acts of forgiveness... that is part of being human ... part of humanity.

Love & Peace always –

@Maura
Hello my friend. Thank you for your comments. Hugs, Love, Blessings.

Hello my dear friend. I love you poem. Thank you for sharing it with us all. Love, Hugs, Blessings to you letta.

@This is it!:

Thank you for another beautiful poem about Michael. All of your poems are beautiful. I wouldn't have thought it could be possible, but they're actually getting even better!
(((This is it!)))

Beverly

Mary-Jane,Your post to letta,well stated and very true. (Smiles) to you.

So those of us who are trying to make changes in our lives based upon Michael's life work and message have been asked to give an account for what we have done.

This past year I have had some great opportunites to do some things that I might have missed out on otherwise. I've been able to volunteer with an after school program for kids; teaching music to kids that would otherwise not be exposed to the arts. At the same center I've been able to mentor some at risk kids who don't see alot of love in their homes. Its great how they in turn make positive changes in their lives and as a result reach out to other kids.

Environmentally speaking I have tried to spend sometime each week working in the town I live by voluntering to clean up highway litter, working in a community garden and food co-op and also supporting Wine to Water (I actually heard about this from CNN!!) a non-profit group that works to purify water around the world so that people have access to clean water. Check out the site at winetowater dot org.

One other lesson that I have learned from Michael is not an easy one but has been incredibly freeing. I have learned from his example to respond in Love when people lash out in hate towards you. When people seek to undermine the good that you try to do or mock what they don't understand it is so easy to get angry or feel defeated, but in the end that helps no one. So I've really learned from the way he overcame obstacles and the haters in his life, to hold my tounge and respond in love. It a constant struggle, but is freeing when you begin to realize that you are no longer adding to the probem but are becomeing a part of the solution.

cris- Your life is not boring.lol First thing you need to do is calm down and think. I am taking it your phone number was unlisted. Correct? Make a list of everyone that you gave the number to and call them to see if they gave your number to anyone and if they did who. You have to find this out. Who ever told the globe your number is either a person you gave the number to or someone you gave the number to gave it to someone else who gave it to the globe.lol I am sure yu will figure it out. Other than this how are you doing?lol Love an dhugs to you my friend and take care.

Just had to share this. On Friday, June 25, 2010, I was outraged at The View when their guest on Michael's one year anniversary was Diane Dimond!!!! I could not believe my eyes!!!! This woman despised Michael Jackson and was one of the ringleaders in the campaign to destroy him. She contributed to his demise during the trial and throughout his career! Obviously The View had not done their homework on this woman or they would not have chosen her. On top of that she has the nerve to have a book out right now about Michael Jackson!!! She couldn't stand him in life, but writes a book and profits off him in death? That's what I call exploiting Michael Jackson!!!

Wow I can't believe I'm posting again after a few days having computer problems.

@ Letta –
Thank you very much for those beautiful words for Today. I was able to view the blog at work. Thank you for uplifting my spirit at work with those words.

@ Mr A-
Welcome back. Long time no see your postings. For a moment I thought you were totally gone from here. I am sure that many including I are happy to see you back. I hope all is well with you.
O by the way, yes your a beautiful Christmas Tree whose colorful lights twinkle upon an Evergreen tree. A symbol of Hope and Love that last forever and not just one of the Holiest Night of them all. Take care Mr A, hope to see you around again.

Lynn-IL- great post.

pat davis- I've come to realize a lot of these shows have hosts that only read from cue cards. They aren't doing research. This is a perfect example of people looking into where they are getting their information from. I don't care for that show anyway and I don't think they would be the platform that would vindicate him in the first place.

@cris – now remember there is nothing to fear otherwise the fear that you fear most may be visited upon you! When you ask "How did they find me?" – I didn't realise that you were off the radar! 😉
Just know the Law of Gravity in that apples fall naturally to the ground...looking forward to seeing you soon seeing that you aren't MJ... 🙂

Marguerite,how are you? I agree with your post to cris.well said.(smiles) to you.

Pixie Dust– I am fantastic but things have been busy here. How are you? Thank you. Love and smiles to you.

Lots of Love sent your way!!!!!

@ "Pixie Dust"
Smiles to you!!!!

We need to insist more and more on giving love, kindness, peace and understanding to one another.

Love and Peace to ALL!!!

@

Does anyone else feel like this whole year has played out like a Comedy of Errors?? Just wondering 😀

doubtingthomas.....Personally, I do enjoy The View and up until Friday, I always thought the ladies were good about gathering information on their guest. This one really threw me for a loop! They couldn't have done ANY research on Diane Dimond. This woman has never said one kind word about Michael Jackson in her career as a " journalist " , and I use that term loosely. I must say that did cause me to look at the show differently.

Marguerite, I am happy to hear that you are fantastic, I am doing fantastic myself...Love and Smiles right back to you.

@ Brownie:

Your post was beautifully stated and very heart-felt.

However, I interpret the ideology of forgiveness a little different! It is quite possible to forgive others while not completely forgiving yourself. Sometimes, we hold ourselves to a higher level of accountability. For that reason, one can forgive others and not self.

Many years ago, I made a terrible decision that had a profound impact on another being I loved very deeply. To this day, I know the impact of that decision is still there. I live with this on a daily basis and will for the rest of my life. For only in death will there be some resolve.

@You Know
Just a reminder of how wonderful you are
Miss You

Here this stranger stands right in front of me
Is he an imposter imposed to hurt me next
Or a friend to be
Questions pounded in my head, but I was willing to take the chance

The perception you see isn't who he should be perceived
He felt the anger, brought out the pain
Started sealing my broken heart
That was on its way to a grave
A chance was taken and no regrets were made

Beautiful on the inside as well as the out
If he ever sought a soul, I'm here to help
Here hard times have beat him, But still he stands tall
He is understanding of life, Its like he's been through it all
No judgments has ever been past for he's not one to judge

We shared our stories, it seems we share something in common
Cried and laughed
I looked back upon a chance I took way back
He snuck in and stole my trust
But he's my Great Friend who I've grown to love

All My Love

If Whoopie had been on the View she would have mentioned the ridicule Dirty Diane subjected Michael to...Whoopie has always been a huge advocate for MIchael...she even stated on that show that she would and HAS left her children alone with MIchael!! I love Whoopie!! Do not like that show, but love Whoopie!!

I did not see the Friday show so if Whoopie was on and did not stick it to Dirty Diane then shame on Whoopie...but still love that she defended Michael...but shame if she did not address Dirty D on her horrid treatment of Michael.

Amen to that sermon. RIP.

Brownie- It is very sad how people are now. People are so easy to point fingers at others for things that are not even true. All that has to happen is one person says something about another person that is not even true and before you know it that persons reputation is ruined because of vindictiveness of others. It all comes down to jealousy and hate. What I don't understand is why people believe what these vindictive ones say and are so easy to condemn without going to the person and having a one on one conversation with that person.

@butterfly July 1st, 2010 11:13 pm ET

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, lol.

Pat Davis- I am fantastic my friend thank you fro asking. How are you?

@A
Hope that you day is going lovely, also my friend, so happy to know that you don’t take with negativity people say to or about you. Well I feel for you to have to go through with you did because of the comment made about you. Well to answer your people seek attention and in order to do so the go after incense people like you. Especially, since there are many on the blog that appreciate reading your opinions, But, you must remember there is also a bad apple lurking to find their next victim. So, please don’t cry or get upset with people who say these horrible words.

Mr. A as long as you know who you are, and what you are capable of that’s all that matters. You are a very nice gentleman, who cares about others feelings. I am so sorry that this person word made you cry, especially for something that is not true. The way I look at anything is like this, If you are not present when something has happen, then you really can’t say it do, that is my outlook on life. Please smile at people like that, all they doing is seeking attention and if you play into their hands then they win.
I agree with you comment about making a Change, here and within ourselves, that is what the message that Michael is talking about. We, as a whole need’s to change for the good of our family, their families etc….Yes, agree that change is needed, but before some can make that change they need to look at themselves, and see what needs to change,. “Love the part about love ourselves and ten that when we can begin to be a stronger and positive force in the World”. This is so true. But the main key is Change, within you and after you learn to love who or whom you become. Just maybe if all take this message at hand our world would be greater. The importance in all this is the children and future children to have a much better life, hopeful without hearing lies all the time. Anyway I can go on and on but I’ll stop just happy that you are okay and standing strong my friend.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another

Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends whom we choose.

Lucero (Mexico) I am very well,hope you are to.You take care.(Smiles) to you.

@Lucero
I am happy to see you here too, hope you and your family are great, Hugs and love to you my friend! 🙂

Yes, some things in my immediate neighbourhood try me sometimes. I find myself feeling guilty when I try to judge things and probably have taken things wrongly or much to heart.

I am now always rethinking the way I think and see things and try to walk in another's shoes, and not to be too judgemental and jumping to the wrong conclusions. Also trying to be more forgiving and loving and going that extra mile.

Whatever good one does in their lives, they are doing it for Jehovah and as some bloggers have pointed out before.......be careful how you treat people, as you never know what is going on in their lives.

babycarie....Hi Carie 🙂 !!! How are you and baby doing? You are absolutely right! Whoopie was not there on Friday and my thoughts were the same as yours IF Whoopie had been there I think she would have confronted Dimond about the horrible things she's said about Michael Jackson. She got off WAY to easy!

@pat davis – hello dear friend! Im well thanks and hope you are too! Nice to see you here on blog! Hugs to you 🙂

Reading your great comment what comes to mind is Mother Teresa's quote – If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Be the change you wish to see.

Much Love, Light and Peace to all xx

This is so bad!! One of my siblings just emailed me and said "You better get of dodge bro".... 🙁 Now I'm on the run??? I did NOT anticipate this right now. Marguerite, butterfly and Pixel Dust thank you so much for your advice, but it could have been anyone who gave out my number.....

🙁 He meant get out of dodge. I know that is what he meant....

your welcome Pixie Dust, hi Doubting Thomas!

@butterfly July 2nd, 2010 12:39 am ET

Thank you for that.

@

I know people are entitled to their own opinions, but, it so saddens me when they run down the Jackson Family and the Presley Family in such a horrible manner. Even Larry King's Family.

They are not your family and how dare you talk that way about them. You do not know them personally, so why slander them publicly. That is just gossiping and taken from the tabloid media who thrive on gossip.

If you say you are a fan of Michael Jackson, why talk bad about his family. Don't you think that would be hurting him also. As the biblical saying goes........THE TONGUE IS VERY HARD TO TAME!

Think again about what comes off your tongue before you speak.

Hello
I was just thinking about you GAI and wondering how you are
It seems like you are a ship that passes in the night and makes
no sound.Silent like a whisper hope your keeping yourself in good
spirits (little joke there lol) come back real soon just holla

Bring down the barricades that fasten your heart
Let love replenish your soul for more !!!!!!!!
Drink life eat life feel love feel sadness shun hurt embrace you

Hi Babycarie:
I hope you are doing well today. I have the utmost respect for you because you live in the world of reality. You have the mental capability to spot the blog imposters and people with deceiving agenda's. People have been giving their opinions for over 2010 years and that is part of life. Whether an opinion is stated as a positive or negative is defined by the interpreter and incorporated into their personal belief system. The LKL blog is a perfect example of this. You and I and others on this blog know that Michael died and we will defend him and not have a love or respect for his enablers, users, backstabbers, abusers, and those financially exploiting him for their personal gain. When people walk in our shoes, then perhaps they will understand where we are coming from and realize that hate and negative are incorrect vocabulary words to describe our cause.

The morning has come,
the stillness is there,
The sun is shining,
a new day is here,
The waves are rolling,
the beach is bare,
The birds are singing,
a melody they share,
The dew of the grass,
is glistening and bright,
The sky is clear,
a beautiful blue in sight,
A blessing for all,
of the beauty it shows,
The morning says hello,
a perfect gift to bestow

Bless You All~

Hello everyone!!
How are you all?!

Love MJ

@Angie Pie
here is something to start your day off my friend.
Love must be sincere, Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful on hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. (Romans 12:9-13)

Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a bulb, a lovely garden in a seed, and a giant oak in an acorn.

hugs, Love, Blessings to you and everyone else

RockWithYou Horsegirl- hello

pat davis- that's probably why she was there.

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!!!!

@my friends so true

heaven is no longer heaven
if you do not obey seven
all the powers will disappear
and a pie she will make you fear
a purple haze of mind control
in my life that has no role
the truth you know will always prevail
when it comes you land in jail
love and light how very wrong
you will be all alone my friend be strong
i will not judge you i wish you well
we all have problems in life i can tell
but hurting others is not my way
i have seen the truth thats what i say
its is called looking in the mirror its clear to see
that you were never any good for me
and now that i have the proof
in my heart i see the truth
i did not need to read between the lines
the rules were printed clear you will find
i did not make them and i did not break them
you abuse them and you take them
so becareful who you call a friend so true
just be careful what they want from you
and if its to make you feel bad and sad
then a true friend you never had
a warning to all just take care
and of a certain number just beware
now its all out for all to see
you get the truth you know from me
its quite shocking dont you think
it started when my pc drove me to the brink
and as i am pc stupid what do i do
i call in an expert to help silly true
they explained in simple terms
and the truth is what silly true learns
yes it hurts i must say this
but i could not live in an ignorant bliss
i have made that change it has started with me
and its so liberating can you not see
so to anyone i may have offened
i was in a purple haze and my ways are truly mended

i believe i will be there its all for love love is free

cris,sorry to hear that you have to get out of dodge and now on the run.Stay safe.(Smiles) to you.

This is it! .Such a beautiful poem,thanks for sharing.(Smiles) to you.

Hello Susan!
I am delightful and hope you are as well!!
I am pleased to be in such wonderful sane company!! You have contributed so much fabulous information to these often times barren bizarre bloggys!!
And it really is sad to see those who come here obviously desperately in need for attention!

I am no fan of anyone who exploits Michael, and I am rethinking my feelings towards Katherine...why would she sell such intimate personal items to such a low life shark to be thrown together for some documentary?? She really surprises me in her quest to exploit Michael, and her efforts could prove damaging to the estate and MJ3...and the $ will be taken via the $13 million owed. I cannot even conceive of selling my daughter's childhood memories...I just cannot understand such a desperate need for money...why not just take the allowance, take care of MJ3 and let Branca et al deal with the rest...shady characters are a huge reason Michael was in debt and here they come again!! Michael never had any privacy, and now even his most intimate family moments are for sale. Would I love to see this stuff...absolutely. Will I see it...no. I never watched TII, and refuse to purchase anything MJ as there is some hidden agenda to exploit him with each item sold.
And to those who see this as hate and that I should have some warped sense of loyalty to the family, again, I AM a fan of Michael...not his family...and YES, that is possible!

cris
Pretty sad.

@ibelieve25

Hello dear, how are you tonight? Oh you don't have to thank me, I meant every single word...truly did....yes. You are all such wonderful and amazing people and I'm so blessed to have you...all of you in my life. I couldn't be happier. Thank you for you. 🙂

Oh the chair is just incredible...yes I love it! I have to say, I have never experienced this level of comfort with any other chair/seat in the past. It's really something special, one of a kind .... like a chair/bed all in one...hehe. Actually I prefer to take my naps and rest right here. There are many nights when I have simply fallen asleep with my laptop near me. 🙂

I am very appreciate of all the time, effort, and dedication it took to design this amazing gift from you. It was a very kind gesture on behalf of you, thank you, thank you. Wishing you a pleasant night and sending many hugs your way!

@Maura

Hello sweet one, how have you been? Why thank you for those kinds words that you have expressed. That's very sweet of you, Maura. Oh I would love to give you a hug too...really! Hahaha it's funny that you say it's like you're a child being called away or into the house from playing with friends. There are many times when I feel the exact same way you have described here...it is truly a pleasure, a joy being there with all of you. I also wish that I wouldn't ever have to leave or go away...somehow having to leave is always bittersweet, right? I'm so, so sorry that you have been missing my visits and vice versa, Maura. Apparently, we're on two completely different life schedules here! 🙂

I have missed you too...very much so, but that is ok. We will certainly meet again, now won't we? I've read that you've been under the weather? Oh dear please take care of yourself, get plenty of rest, stay hydrated and eat healthy and properly. What seems to be the problem? 🙁

I hope you're feeling better and sleeping well tonight, dear. I am sending many, many warm hugs to you. Take care and get well soon...please.

@LoveConquersAll

Well hello there, how are you? Why thanks so much for your kind and most inspirational words. They have really touched me, moved me in a profound way tonight. You're truly a lovely one, with a beautiful heart and kind spirit. I can really feel that, I truly believe that! I am feeling your positive vibes and peaceful nature right now and I am loving it. It's a beautiful thing... 🙂 I am so thrilled to have you as a friend. I thank you.

The thought of me lighting up like a Christmas tree makes you smile and gives you the giggles? Hahah! Ahh that's wonderful, I'm glad I could do that for you, I will have to admit, knowing this has brought me smiles tonight, thank you for that. You're amazing. 🙂

I am sending many,many hugs to you. I hope you're sleeping well.

@"Pixie Dust"

Hello, how are you? I haven't had the pleasure of speaking with you until now... but I would just like to thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate them and all you do here. I love reading your comments, you're always so kind and pleasant, it's quite refreshing. Your presence here is greatly needed and appreciated. 🙂

@This is it!

Wow, you are it! Your June 30th 11:43pm poem is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. You are poetically gifted, a great writer and also a great thinker. I applaud you. Thank you for sharing your gifts here with us.

@Angel Pie

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. How are ya? You thought I pulled one of those vanishing acts and would never be seen or heard from again? hahahha. No...never. I could never stay away for too long, I just couldn't, my heart simply wouldn't allow it. I was having problems posting. Ahhh I'm happy to be back, could not be any happier...really. I missed you the other night, wondered where you were. 🙂

A symbol of Hope and Love, I love that and thank you but for everything.

@Letta

Hello Letta,

Yes I am doing well and yourself? Thank you for those kind and encouraging words...I appreciate you and all that you do. I'm so proud to call you my friend. 🙂

@Maria Copelli

Hello Maria,

I'm not sure where you are right now or where you've been but I do miss you and I miss reading your heartfelt and inspirational words.
I hope and pray that you're happy and well.

cris

take care, Wales in UK loves MJ, you could hide here without hassle.

None of us have accurate knowledge of the Jackson's family financial matters including current and future. Yes, we hear reports on TMZ; however, is the information 100% accurate? I would suggest not!

Often when the “breadwinner” in a family is lost, the family can be fearful. First they grieve, then move into fear. All the “what ifs” surface. For this reason, I urge everyone to make no judgment on Katherine. After all, the judgments are based only on assumptions!!!!

letta(beLIEve) your morning verses and quotes are a pleasure to read,thanks and yes it is a good way to start off everyone's day! Have a wonderful day letta,(Smiles) to you.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
Enjoy the weekend!

Rest in peace sweet Michael.
MJ3 are smart, strong and independent people who I hope will not be manipulate by anyone!! We will continue to pray for them and hope that the money does not cause them pain the way it did you. Money can buy nice things but not happiness....May they always have laughter and happiness in their lives, and anything else is a bonus!

Peace.

The beauty of a BLOG is to state our opinions...and that is what they are designed for...so to those who feel the need to ridicule, feel free to reread my posts as they are not based on assumptions but on information that I question, and do so on the blog. I eve stated 'I hope this is bs' but I am entitled to blog for the purpose of the topic...and that is the problem here...to much self righteous preaching and love fests and not enough substance!!
Katherine is no dummy...and anything relating to topic is fair game for discussion/bloogging...last I looked this is the LKL blog and not church.
Ciao.

@ Susan

You stated: .
“Whether an opinion is stated as a positive or negative is defined by the interpreter and incorporated into their personal belief system”

What a profound statement. It is a ""truism"". We organize the world around us through our perceptions, based on our beliefs and life’s experiences. It is seldom about the other but about within!

Thank you for the clarity of thought and wisdom! You are a gift!!

@cris

Oh, Cris goings........ Just do not answer unknown calls you, ignore them and everything will be fine! But it's more like the fact that journalists something to smell out ...........................
Hold on ....... mentally I'm with you .......

Read Sada's post...she put it beautifully!!!
"there is no such thing as leave the jacksons alone, when they crave the spotlight as much as they do. and it's a total shame (IMO) to see the lows they have gone to exploit Michael. no other family is out and about promoting record labels and artists every chance they get. who else is pointing the fingers at everyone else, but themselves for the destruction of Michael. maybe the jacksons should take a good look in the mirror first before blaming others."

Prayers to our military people who fight for our continued independence!!!!

Mary-Jane- I agree with what you're saying, but we don't have proof that he is the "breadwinner" for the whole family as well. Yes Katherine had RELATIVES living with her at Havenhurst and quite honestly its her business who lives there. Let's be honest, those relatives have been living there for years and no one cared until 6/25, MJ's children living there and news reports from "sources." We should wonder who was the person from New York who called CPS about what's going on in that house. I hope all these people passing judgement on this particular family are concerned about children who are being mistreated and people who are "exploiting" their family members in their own backyard. We don't REALLY know what is going on, we just know what the media is putting out there.

In all due respect, you can love MJ all you want, but that doesn't justify passing judgement on the whole family.

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!!

@ Mr. A
You are more than welcome my friend, the chair was built with lots of love for a very special friend. How fitting that it is one of a kind, just as you are. I will always be near Mr. A, only need to look as far as your heart my friend. That's where I'll remain always. Though the journeys of life may take us down different paths, its always nice to come home to see dear friends. Hope your travels are safe, and fun. Until next time Mr. A, much love to you. I will see you soon. Hugs.

I have come to a conclusion that this will be my final post here. I would like for everyone to keep in mind what this is really about...it's about Michael, the human being, The Man, the father, the son, the LOVE and the messages he is trying to portray to the world. That's what THIS is all about and of course it's all for L.O.V.E. Keep true, keep strong, keep believing! It has been a pleasure, a joy being here with all of you... truly has! Thank you all for everything, for all that you have done and continue to do daily. You're all good, decent people with pure...innocent hearts. I truly believe that...

Please be kind, be respectful, and considerate of others' feelings. Have love and compassion for all of our fellow brothers and sisters....please remember that we, the human race...we are all in this together. We are one big family...one big unit. No more fighting, arguing, bashing, or petty back and fourth banter. Is this really what Michael would like to see happening amongst his fans? If you have to think twice before making a comment or posting information then don't even bother...It is more than likely going to hurt someone or cause conflict. Don't hold grudges, life is so fragile, so precious...no one knows when their short stay here will be up.

One last thing, always be the best YOU that all of you can possibly be. . Never waver, never give up and never settle for less than what you deseve! Fight for what is right and just! Heal ourselves, Heal our World.

love...Love...LOVE

Goodbye

@Mr A

Helloooooooooo!
You rejoice me with your presence here. You're very cool!!!
And I always love to read what you write. Returning to this blog, I was so happy once saw your message. You are very kind and sincere person. Thank you!

Let's all remember, when MJ's kids are having bad days- its the Jackson relatives that they deal with. Its the Jacksons that they have been with since 6/25. When they are happy, it is those people that they are with that many here have a problem with. You don't think MJ ever wronged any of his relatives??? I'm pretty sure MJ has done things that weren't right and made mistakes like everyone else in the world. It's ok to say "don't judge MJ because of media lies" but if something is written about his family is true??? All these stories are put out for the public to feel a certain way about this family I'm not falling for it.

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!

Pat Davis-
I am outraged as well to hear about Dimond appearing on The View to discuss Michael, let lone on the anniversary of his death! It makes me absolutely nauseous. Is this a new book she is promoting or the book she wrote a few years back? Fans should boycott anything having to do with her and the publishing companies that publish such trash. She appeared on the documentary "MJ's Final Days" discussing the sex life of MJ and Lisa Marie as if she was in the room with them and knew the intimate details of their sex life together. Pathetic! I HATE that woman!

Michael was not only a humanitarian, he was a visionary. He fully understood the importance in the balance of life on this planet. He truly believed that all life is “precious” And for that reason, we need to continue where he left off…..

Without a diverse biosphere, there will be no hope for our species. We “are” caught in the web of life on Earth. We are “only” a link within the long chain. When we continue to destroy all that is around us, how do you expect our species to survive? Life on this planet exists because of the balance. Without that, there is nothing!!! This fight about catastrophic events taking place in the Gulf of Mexico goes deeper than protecting numerous species, some on the brink of extinction …. It goes to the core of our being and our own survival. I hope we can unite so we can put an end or at least suppress our mass destruction tendencies and egocentrisms. The natural occurrence of nature gives way to species propagating and disappearing; however, we are creating an out of balance condition on this planet and with every species we exterminate, we are placing one more nail in our coffin…..

When a man strikes a woman he crosses a line. A line that should NEVER be crossed, regardless of how well someone dances or rides the coat tails of our beloved Michael. And that person should especially not be put up on a pedestal as entertainers always are. This sends a terrible message to women everywhere – that it is OK to cross that line and should be forgiven. It should not in any case. If a man crosses the line once, he will cross it again. That is a fact. Chris Brown showed his true colors the night he beat up Rhianna, not the night he imitated Mj to evoke sympathy. I hope the public is smarter than that.

In regards to Katherine Jackson, i think her actions show that she is a mother that loves ALL her children, not just her most famous one. She is not only looking out for herself and Michael's children, but the rest of her brood. That's what a good mother does – protects ALL her children and grandchildren, which she has many of. The sad reality is that Michael is now gone, therefore she must do what she must to keep her very large family financially afloat. It seems they are incapable of doing it by themselves.

Hello and Good Morning to my friends – nice to see the blog mellowing on a bright summer morning. I haven't been blogging much lately due to some family emergencies back East, of which I had to attend. I also have been mourning my sweet dog of 11 years who I had to put down in early June due to bone cancer. It was a tough month in many respects.

@Mary Jane – could not agree with you more. There is no need to make judgments on anyone, as they have not walked in their shoes. I agree the media reports are not 100% accurate in fact, they are 1% accurate.

@Mr. A – nice to see you on the blog and that you are doing well.

@Letta – thanks for the great poems and words of wisdom. Many should heed these words and take note of them. Hopefully we can catch up soon.... 😉 - it's Friday ya know lol

@This is It – Love reading your poetry. You are an inspiration to many and we look forward to your words of comfort, understanding and analysis.

@Love Conquers All – have been enjoying reading your posts with lots of heart. Many take note when love and positive emotions are weaved through words coming from individuals such as yourself. Oh and welcome to the blogs too lol.....

@Cris – The Globe huh? Well I suggest when you stop running, maybe have a tabloid burning party. Hope you find safe haven.

@Jessie, Mjsalive, Doubting, Tat, Tru, Lori, Pixie, Marg, Rhonda, Tat, Michael Love and others – great posts, we need to keep the faith and hold strong and more importantly LOVE.

Blessing and Love to all, keep safe this long weekend.

@Happy Friday to the bloggy. Have a safe Independence Day Holiday weekend.

The deepest thanks to our military. I am mourning the loss of local military hero this week. God Rest his soul. God bless his family. Freedom is never Free.

JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL 8)
DR. QUACK IS WACK

lola- I agree violence towards ALL is wrong. And I stated in my previous post that I by no means condone what CB has done. But what are we as a society going to do with men and women like him that are violent towards their partners???? He was rightfully shamed and humiliated- all the deals and sponsorships he lost I agree with, but at the same time can we hope that he gets help so that this won't happen again. As a society isn't it better to try to show the kids younger than him now that his actions are wrong and if they have the same traits show them other outlets than being violent??? I hope you feel the same way about Sean Penn and Charlie Sheen (highest paid actor on tv who shot a woman). I think something needs to be done with men and women like CB who are violent towards their partners. We know in this society violence is wrong albiet physically, psychologically , internet bullying and nothing is really being done about it. If anything, CB should be an example to men that if you are violent towards woman there are strong repercussions. Do you really think he is the only entertainer that is violent????? Why is the media still on this incident instead of showing how to really deal with domestic violence???? We need to hope that this young man is working on his issues and teach the children, teens in our lives to avoid violence. If that is his career, is he supposed to be unemployed now?? If they were to round up all the entertainers who are guilty of domestic violence I don't think there wouldn't be any left. Sad, but very true. They are individuals and have issues like everyone else. I think the focus should be on making sure this man and others like him are getting the help they need to work on in preventing this crime to happen again.

May I suggest everyone go on the abc website and give your feedback/complaint about Diane Dimond appearing on The View on June 25. This is a slap in the face to millions of fans around the world to have that vulture make even more money off of Michael, even in his death. If the View – or any other show for that matter supports those that made Michael's life a living hell, those shows should be boycotted.

Mr.A.thank yo kindly for your post to me.it is truly appreciated.i am sorry you have choosen to leave you will be greatly missed.I have enjoyed reading your posts as well.Sending love and smiles to you.

@Mr A
I greet you once again today!
My God, this is news ..... I am so saddened by your last message.
I'm only feeling came from the fact that the Brazil team lost the match. Because of this, I even tears streaming down her cheeks, you can imagine that. I used to about myself even think she could not, except with great difficulty. Oh ....

But here such things happen .... I'm so sorry that you decided to leave. Despite the fact that I have not been able to communicate with you here. I really do not want that, would you leave this blog. You are like a ray of light on this blog that attracts and beckons to me, because you are just a sincere person with boundless kindness and love to all. And I think that in life you love giving a lot of people who surround you and make them happy. And these feelings here were real and they can not be faked, I'm sure of it.

As far as I understood correctly, here are some early bloggers have offended you. And you were very upset and disappointed in these people. But apart from these people there are many others who respect you and see your sincerity and attention to all. So I ask you not to make hasty decisions. But in any case, I respect the decision that you find the correct and necessary to adopt for themselves.

I hope we do not say goodbye!
I wish you a sunny mood, a successful summer, the warm sea or ocean, as well as the sea of smiles and love! And most importantly to remain always in such a sincere and kind person!

OMG!! Did I actually read that it should be okay for Katherine to exploit Michael/his death because Katherine needs to look out for her other GROWN children and keep those other GROWN children in cash??!! I am stunned...and this is why MIchael was abused and used and exploited his entire life...being of that warped sense of entitlement within his family and those who surrounded him.
Wow...
Susan, have a wonderful weekend...thank God you come here to help maintain the stability and sanity!!

MMJ!!!!!!!!
Suzie Q!!
COCO!!!!!!!!!!!
Susan!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend...dance to some Michael tunes, splash in a pool, and feel that gentle breeze on your cheek...a kiss from our sweet sexy Michael who is finally at peace!!
Red and gold...oh, yeah!!!
Love you!!

Daniel Verse 10: Many shall be purified and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

There is only one true hero and that is God, to divest himself of this earthly body and walk with Him in truth and love, he has most certainly found his greatest joy.

Grief cracks your heart into little pieces and it hurts so very much, and while I am finding it difficult to say goodbye, I must not forget that this was his destiny and part of the bigger plan that GOD has for all of us. "Our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, But I'd have had to miss the dance". I will try and not dwell on his loss but rather celebrate his legacy of love, song, dance, philanthropy and humanity.

His musical talent was beyond extraordinary and when you revisit the words to his songs, poems and writings it becomes more and more evident that he was a gifted visionary and was no ordinary man or spirit by far, he was a once in a lifetime talent and we were blessed to witness his genius. You did it Michael, you studied the greats and became one of the greatest, you are a universal legend who achieved immortality.

When I hear a song, see a picture, I will stop and remember you fondly with a smile, with love and always, as a sincere, caring human being who wanted nothing more than to "Heal the World”.

He was a man we never fully understood, but chose to love anyway. Deep in my heart your memory will be kept forever. Rest In Peace.

@ Mr A

Please don't go...Not now.

Not after you have made my heart soar with your meaningful words. Honestly, you made my day with your post to me. You have left your footprints in my heart, my virtual friend.

Never mind "lighting up like a Christmas tree"...You simply "light up my Life" with your presence here. Nothing but pure LOVE for you.
Please don't stay away too long because we will miss you.

Love, Peace and Warm Hugs to you!!!!

I do agree with Mr. A about this blog being solely about Michael, the human being, The Man, the father, the son, the LOVE and the MESSAGE.

We must learn to respect each other and come to an understanding as to the differences in our beliefs, but also remember that we all share a common goal...Peace and LOVE ~THAT is the ultimate outcome.

Surely everyone is entitled to what they believe in, however, it is not right to judge, persuade, and ridicule anyone who doesn't share the same beliefs as you. THAT is not setting a good example of what Michael represented and stood for. It is NOT good for our world/planet as a whole. These types of attitudes start wars and conflict. We need to stop the bickering and fighting and it needs to stop now.

We need to LOVE and "Come Together" right now over MICHAEL.

It's time to start setting good examples for our children and our children's children. Love each other now before it is too late to turn back.

Please be good and respectful to ourselves and the earth...
"See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls". – Mother Teresa

LOVE and Peace to all!!!

LoveConquersAll,Your post to Mr A.is very sweet and kind,just maybe you have changed his mind.(Smiles) to you.

Some very nice posts here lately ...

@Mr. A ... very deep messages 🙂 Big thank you for posting them!
However, your last one sadly reminds me of a certain "pattern" repeating here on the blog; strange, isn't it? the "others" also left when things reached a certain "pick" ... Sad ... but as anything in life "is a matter of choice" it is also your choice of doing so, and the choice of the others as of what to believe about this all.

But let us all better focus on the "real thing", and that is give our best to make this a better place b4 is to late; signs of the "dark forces" trying to take control are all over the place and increasing in intensity and "visibility" ...

Love & Peace to everyone

@Mr A
Good Evening my friend. I am sorry to see you leave the blog, and I do understand that all good things must come to a end. I do agree with you comment and fighting and bashing. This should not be this way at the end of the day WE all are still FANS of Michael. You are right again about Michael would not like what is happening here. The should be a place where we all come together even in disagree to agree and Respect each other no matter what you belief's may be. It has been a pleasure posting to you on the blog, and I for one hate to see you go, but I understand your feelings and that you must go. I wish you well and pray that all goes well for you. Hugs, Love & Blessings ...Letta

@ doubtingthomas2010

You stated:
"We don't REALLY know what is going on, we just know what the media is putting out there."
*************************************
I concur with that statement 100%. Everything is about money or rhetoric. The media advocate stories that are most likely exaggerated at best and confabulated at worst to sell their product. This is happening all over the US and most of the world. Anything you read, including this web site, one must sift through their cognitive process like straining seeds from the mass ....searching for what is seemingly accurate and can germinate.

Remember the old saying... You are what you eat.

Well I also apply that to.......

You are what you read!!!!!

@LoveVonquersAll
Good Evening my friend. I agree with your post @4:50pm. Every word, this or that was great stated and I pray that WE are takes heap in this. WE, are must learn to get along, love , and Respect each others belief's no matter what they may be, Thank you for sharing this with the blog. Hugs, Love & many Blessings to you. Letta

May your life be filled with enlightenment and joy. May your heart experience love and fulfillment… and my your soul find ever ending peace!
A friend,
Bodha

@ Pat Davis & Babycarie
Just wanted to say that I'm disgusted, too, about The View inviting evil Diane Demon, so-called journalist. Right away I thought "what would Whoopi say". Needless to say, I won't be watching The View. It sickens me, too, that she's made a career as a vulture to Michael.

Regarding Mrs. Katherine, I believe she might be presenting the unseen photos of Michael in her fight to erase the molestation lies. It seems that after Michael's passing that more of the public is suspicious of the media and open-minded in hearing the truth. Hopefully this is her reason.

@ GAI

My sweet and dear friend, may be this will be my last post to you, may be is time to say good bye and let you go, the most important thing for me is your happiness and if is better for you dont come back, that is fine, no matter if I miss you, anyway you are and will always be in my heart, never forget hearts beat together. I hope some day our paths cross again.
And this is specially for you.... from one of my favorite books:

"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You– you alone– will have the stars as no one else has them–"
"What are you trying to say?"
"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... you– only you– will have stars that can laugh!" And he laughed again. "And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... and your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, 'Yes, the stars always make me laugh!' And they will think you are crazy...."

L.O.V.E and blessings

Your July 2nd, 2010 11:55 am ET post...
I agree 100% about Michael's family and how we shouldn't be so quick to judge what we hear. Still celebrating the message and staying strong and positive...Love and Peace to you!

@ Lois48
Thank you, my friend, for the warm welcome and your most kind words. That's means so much to me. Look forward to my time here.
Love and Blessings are being sent your way, my dear!

@ "Pixie Dust
Thank you, kindly. I wish my words could change Mr. A's mind. It would certainly make a lot of us very happy! (hint, hint, if you are reading this, Mr. A....LOL – Just in case you might want to reconsider your decision...)
Love and SMILES to you, "Pixie Dust", my friend!!!

@ ibelieve25 and Rhonda
Much Love to both of you...I will stop by real soon. As soon as time permits. Appreciate all of your love and support always!

Hey everyone! How are you all doing tonight? I missed you!

Long Live the King!

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

The free bird leaps
on the back of the win
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
-– Maya Angelou

As I sing from my invisible cage........

@ Brownie
Loved your post @ July 1st, 2010 7:18 pm ET...
Very well-stated and I agree wholeheartedly!
Love to you!

@ LoveConquersAll

Your beautiful name tells all! Such a gentle and kind soul. The words from you are filled with kindness and affirmations. What a thoughtful person you must be. Always helping through inspiring. You remind me of the rain, when the sky cries and washes away all the pollution bringing forth bountiful life and the sweet smell of freshness. ... Extending my hand in friendship.......

@Mr. A:

Maria C. wanted to correct her 6:42 PM post from tonight and say that she wanted to send you a big, giant warm hug and not a "bug". Ha ha! Anyway she just asked me to relay that message to you although I'm quite sure you knew what she meant.

I hope that you are not really permanently leaving the blog and that you will be back at some point. I really enjoy reading everything you write and so do many others here on the blog. You are a genuinely nice, sincere and loving person and it would be really wonderful if you could stay untiil November or whenever.

Maria C. told me she will be getting a new computer soon (not sure exactly when, but soon) and then she will be back on the blog. So, she will be back and I hope that you will too. I know that Maria holds you in her highest regard and thinks the world of you!

Love and Hugs from Maria C and myself.

Pat Davis- I'm still here and will be until they close down the blogs.lol

cris- So sorry to hear you have to get out of dodge and are on the run. That is no fun. Florida is a good place to run to. No state income taxes.rofl You could always move here where I am, Hubby said you would be welcome. No one could find you here. To get to our place you have to go over river, through the woods, past the boonies, past the sicks, through the deslolate waste and up the mountain way back in the trees to find us.rofl Love and hugs to you my friend.

@ Mr A –

Sorry that I missed you last night but I was "Lost In Cyberspace" but my computer has been giving me such trouble. O yes I thought you did a vanishing acting until I read your post at work.

Reading your post at work, I am deeply sadden that you have made a decision that you will no longer be posting here. You are a light on this blog. You are among a few on this blog in which one can feel the sincerity of one's words. I can sense your a genuine caring person. I do not understand what made you make that decision but I shall respect that. I will greatly miss you. Where ever you are just remember that there are folks here who will remember you. Even more now if I see a Christmas Tree I shall remember you. Michael left a legacy of Love around the world. You Mr A happens to be one of many of Michael's torches of LOVE that is being passed around. I wish you the best and I will miss you. Please take care , your a very special human being. God Bless –

Angel Pie

@cris – take care and watch out for those blood hounds as they can be mighty fierce! lol

Marguerite,how was your day? your post to cris was very cute.Smiles to you.

Pixie Dust– My day was fantastic. Cris is welcome here if he wants to come. That is the way I am, my door is always open to friends. Love and smiles to you.

nina1fox, thank you for sharing the poem with us all it was excellent.(Smiles) to you.

Marguerite,you are very sweet, cris would probably appreciate your kindness.I feel the same way,my door is always open to friends as well.Love and smiles right back to you.

@Mr A July 2nd, 2010 11:39 am ET

Sorry to hear that you have come to this conclusion, but will understand, and thank you for your beautiful and warm parting post and the message in it.

We can all take heed of it and make this world a better place in which we all can live in peace and love and harmony.

God bless you and if you decide to return that will be great.

Pixie Dust- Thank you. I have given people directions to our house and they have gotten lost trying to get here, they even had GPS.rofl I had to be on the phone talking them through each step to get here and the directions were so simple a baby could of followed them.lol

I was just reading everyones heartfelt posts to Mr.A.hopefully he has or will have the oppurtunity to read all the wonderful comments that were made,I personally never had that oppurtunity to engage in conversation with hiim.But I most certainly read all of his posts.Yes he is a very kind soul who showed nothing but respect to his fellow bloggers.Mr.A has touched all of our hearts.( Smiles) to you.

@ Dear Mr A – Although I didn't have a lot of blog exchanges with you I truly enjoyed reading your very sincere comments. It is quite rare for men to be so emotionally open and I just wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being your True Self. You are indeed a beautiful shining beacon of Light. Much Love, Light and Peace to you.

Thank you for the beautiful yet sad poem. It is profound. Has a deeper meaning I think.

Goodnight,sweet dreams sending many (Smiles) your way.

@Mr. A
You deserve those words...no need to thank me for that my sweet friend. You feel like a child? Well, we can be two children playing outside 🙂 Yes Mr. A, leaving is bittersweet because it's hard to leave but it's sweet because there's always a possibility of meeting again. Yes we'll meet again 🙂 oh, yes I was under the weather but I'm all better now. Thanks for wondering dear. It was a combination of eating the wrong things, anxiety and allergies. Thank you for telling me to take care of myself....I will try to avoid those foods that start the heartburn or eat them less. I really like tomato sauce and chocolate though lol It is sad to see you leave here but I understand and I support your decision my friend. I will always be here whenever you need me. I promise. Thank you for always being the kind, beautiful person that you are. Love always, hugs and many blessings

@nina1fox

Thank you so much for sharing that poem. Very touching words.

@Mr A

Your kindness and beautiful posts will be greatly missed here. I wish you joy, peace, and all other beautiful things that life has to offer you. Most of all may you always have L.O.V.E that will surround you and keep you strong as you continue your journey in life.

@

May all have a safe and wonderful weekend ahead.

@Mr. A

Saying goodbye
Was the hardest thing to do
I never thought I would
Especially not to you.

You always listened
And knew what to say
Knew when to give a hug
When I was having a bad day.

No one will ever take your place
I can always promise you this
It’s hard to find someone like you
So know you’ll always be missed

I was told that you waited until I left the room
before you would come in and say goodbye
Not sure what I did
I am so sorry that I missed your Goodbye
I am hoping it is not forever
True friends are so hard to find
And even harder to let go
But, we must all give the respect
Wishing you the best forever and always
Make sure to continue to drink your juice
and eat your fruit...
I will forever cherish our friendship
It has been such a pleasure to know you
I will forever hold you in my heart
You know where I am at

All My Love To You

Babycarie:
I wish you and your family a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Have fun, eat a lot, relax and enjoy family and friends.

I have a couple of questions that have me mystified and hope you can help me.

With Katherine selling her photo book of MJ and selling family film, why didn't she do that during the past 10 years prior to Michael passing away? That would have created income for her and decreased MJ's debts and stress.

With love, respect, peace and uniting, why is it okay to give opinions on some people, but not others? Diana Dimond gets bashed all the time on this blog. Strangers that post negative comments regarding MJ get bashed on this blog. Strangers get their information from the media and youtube videos and none of us has walked in their shoes or talked to them face to face. Is hypocracy occurring in front of us? What happened to "practice what you preach?"

The definition of the word opinion is: "A belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge. A generally held view." Under this definition you don't need facts to form an opinion.

With the upcoming 4th of July our country will celebrate it's democracy. It's wonderful to have freedom of speech and not have rules shoved down your throat like in a dictatorship.

Chris Brown, just like any other offender, will have to slowly go through the trials and tribulations of getting a good reputation back in the eyes of society. It will take time.

@Mr A
Hope that your weekend is a pleasant one. I know that I posted my good-byes to you and all, but as I was sitting here I was thinking, it a shame a person a nice as you are, kind , and a gentle heart for others has left the blog, I’m assuming due to that cruel demeaning comment allow to be posted on this blog is beyond me. It really upsets me and I assume others that you have decided to leave the blog. You will be missed much my friend. You always, have plenty to share with us on this blog and I sure we have a lot to sure with you. I truly, hope after a while and things have simmer down that you will once again grace us with your comments again. It is terrible hard to say good-bye to a person that has done nothing but shown loving kindness to everyone here on the blog as well as the “House of Love”, so in saying this I pray that this is not a final good-bye, frankly I do not believe in good-bye , but catch later down the road. (Smiles) Seriously you are being missed now and will continue to be missing until your return.
I also added a few quotes below hope you enjoy reading them as well.

Nothing is as strong as gentleness. Nothing is as gentle as real strength.

Good Friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there

Let loose of what you can’t control. Serenity will be yours.

@Angie Pie
Hi, sorry I missed your present last evening rather busy getting ready for a family reunion Sat. With one hour and thirty mins sleep in the last twenty-four hours wow..I am tired but I still manage to post your daily word. This is somewhat a little different hope that you as well as others what I am posting
.
Slow Down
I slow down, simplify and enjoy life.
At any moment, I can restore a sense of peaceful presence in my life. I close my eyes and become aware of my thoughts. I notice my body. I notice my breath. I inhale deeply and exhale slowly.
As I take another breath, I consciously connect with Spirit within me and around me. I relax, knowing that in this instant, all is in perfect order.
Throughout the day, no matter how busy I become, I do this simple exercise. While driving to work, preparing for an important meeting, or getting ready to visit with family or friends, I take a moment to enjoy my oneness with Spirit. Choosing to consciously slow down and become fully present helps me enjoy every single moment of my life.
There is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves.–Ecclesiastes 3:12
Love, Hugs, & Blessings to you and Everyone on this blog. Letta

Since this is the Holiday Weekend I wanted to shared what Friendship means to me. We have a lot of people come and go in our lives but do we really think about what they mean to you? Well, I as others assume lost a friend here Friday, due to people being cruel and I felt that I needed to post this just to see if this is what Friendship means to you. Hope you enjoy, Love , Hugs, & Blessings, letta

Friend (s) like you happens once in a lifetime. The warmth of a friend’s presence brings joy to our hearts, sunlight to our souls, and pleasure to all of life. The more we nurture our friendships, the greater the happiness that comes our way. Friends – they’re kind to each other’s hopes. They cherish each other. To each of us friendship has a different meaning. For all of us it is a gift. Friendship is a living thing that lasts only as it is nourished with kindness, sympathy, and understanding. A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, Friend are made for caring and sharing. Friends make life a little sweeter. Friendship is the most constant, the most enduring, the most basic part of love.

@missin MJ June 30th, 2010 7:23 pm ET

@ Mary-Jane

Thank you for your sweet compliment.
"A friend is someone who reaches out for your hand, and touches your heart". Love to you, my friend!

I have watched and studied the michael lkl blogs for along time now I have laughed cried giggled and sighed at you wonderfull warm people.It saddens me to say that i have on occasions been very disheartened by some of the posters and there Continuing abuse of other people on this blog.I do not often post here but i have been compelled to do so
Keep love in your hearts Always

True-To-You,excellent rhyme,yes one should follow their heart,cause like you say your mind can play tricks on you.Thanks for sharing your rhyme.

@ LoveConquersAll

Thank You for the inspirational thought. I felt the warmth of your hand touching my heart! The experience of tenderness and understanding that emerges......

@ Letta

Have a wonderful weekend and July 4th with your family reunion. This is the time to also cherish our families. Wonderful deep breathing exercise, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. Thank you for your expressions. The world would be better place to live, if all humans practiced what you stated.

You stated: " Friendship is the most constant, the most enduring, the most basic part of love."

Just beautiful and stellar! Thank You Letta!

To all:

The poetry is a flowing beauty on this site. I am deeply touched by it. Thank You

This is it!, my dearest,
With all my heart thank you for remembering and for this wonderful poem – it means to me more than words can ever say.
(((This is it!)))
Thank you !

@This is it!

Thank you for bring this to the web site. I am having a very difficult time responding to what you have presented. ~sigh~ as this is like a sword that just pierced my heart and its bleeding.... (taking a deep breath) I will respond later when I have more composure! Thank You!!!

Babycarie-
I don't know if you have children, but I am the mother of 5 that are grown and I can assure you, worrying about them and caring for them NEVER stops..........I don't think Katherine would do anything to tarnish Michael's memory/legacy in any way. But, to write a book or autograph belts to create more income is not a bad idea. You can say this is "exploitation", but I don't see it that way. It is a far cry from beating a young 10 year old child to earn the family income. They are totally different issues. A parent doesn't stop loving, caring, or helping their children when they turn 18. It is for life.

Beverly Chicago ,thank you my sister,i am the worlds worst typist! You are truly like a sister to me,and I love you .Thank you for calling me up ,all the way from Chicago ,and being so sweet and Patient,with all My Michael stories ! I will be up and running soon! I hope!!!? Love Maria C.

Letta,hello ,i miss you so much ,I Loved your post to Mr.a,and wonder if someone had offended him,yet again? wow .....
He is so thoughful and caring and so interested in our well being ! He is rare ! I hope he will think it over and return,here.
Letta Have anice weekend ,and enjoy your self! Love Maria C.

doubtingthomas-
ANY man that strikes a woman, whether he's black, white or purple with pink polka dots, should NEVER be forgiven. It is even worse if it is a person in the public eye, be it an entertainer, politician, athlete, etc. Very few people achieve this type of success and stature. They need to be held up to even higher standards or they should be knocked off their pedestals and replaced by those more deserving. Our society needs better role models than these pathetic losers. Chris Brown, Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Michael Vick, etc. need to just take a hike and get lost. There are many more just as talented or more so waiting in line, that are not the undeserving, ungrateful spoiled brats as these guys. Why, as a society, do we set the bar so low?

Demand more from our public figures, because these are the people our children look up to and want to emulate! Don't be so easy to forgive and forget, when it is damaging to our children.

"with Katherine selling her photo book of MJ and selling family film, why didn't she do that during the past 10 years prior to Michael passing away? That would have created income for her and decreased MJ's debts and stress."

Hi Susan, pls pardon me to jump into your post. I want to share my thoughts here abt Katherine's book. As we know for the past 10 years the false allegation had been haunted MJ & ruined his career, worse, the public assumed he was guilty of the crime that he had never committed even he was acquitted. He did put some personal items for auction but withdrew later due to less attention after the trial. It was sad to say he fell into abyss especially in the US till the sold out 50 concerts in London last year. A book from his mother then would not help her financially, sadly to say it'd be a create some helps to her now. At the same time I'm glad Katherine was candidly stated that she needed money, I also read somewhere that she has 20 millions debts. Where can an 80 years old lady seek financial aids from? Besides, mourning her son, the stress of financial situation must be a huge burden on her shoulders.

I remembered once you wrote here that MJ had lived in an extremely extravagant life style, even he could fulfilled the concerts, the revenues couldn't have continued to support him, let alone his almost 500 millions debts. I couldn't agree more, let's all face the reality, he is more profitable than he was alive, the estate has already generated 1 billion since his tragic passing. I hope both MJ & Katherine will pay off their debts ASAP, same as the medias & the public realize MJ indeed was innocent and a man with great heart.

My love always extend to MJ's family and those who once bought happiness & loves to him in his life, and to all wonderful fans here, let's everyone embrace each other's indifference.

@Maria C
Hello 🙂 It's great to see you back here. I'm sorry to hear that you've been having problems with your computer. How have you been lately? I hope things have been going well. Lots of love, hugs and blessings my friend.

Hello my friend...Beautiful posts!!!

You're too sweet!
Have a wonderful day/evening, my friend!

@ This is it
@ TRUE-TO-YOU
I always enjoy your beautiful poems...They touch my soul.
Keep em' coming!

"Friends are the Angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly"...Much Love to everyone!

This is it! thank you for sharing the poem and video.the video was very hard to watch as it brought sadness to me.I have been to the zoo once myself,A poor young elephant was chained up you could see he wanted to be set free.He was in such distress he started picking up rocks with his trunk and throwing them at people.very sad it was.We humans have no right to put these animals in captivity,I personally have no desire to ever return to another zoo.I would rather see the animals roam free in their own habitat The birds soar the beautiful skies. Where they are supposed to be.(Smiles) to you.

"LOVE would never be a promise of a rose garden unless it is showered with LIGHT of Faith, WATER of sincerity and AIR of passion".

Not a day goes by without missing Michael...
His sweet voice, his sweet smile, his gentle heart and soul, all guided by his passion. A passion for music but also passionate for a cause...a Greater Cause on a Global scale. His vision was to inspire and stir up that passion within all of us to make the world a better place.

We cannot forget to celebrate the message and the "man" behind it all. He has touched our hearts in more ways than he will ever know.
I'm sure we would all love to be able to "Call out his name and look over our shoulders" and see him there!!!

Sorry to go on and on today, just feeling a little down right now.
L.O.V.E and Peace to all!

@Maria C:

It's ok. Anything for my sister! It's always a pleasure talking to you and hearing your Michael stories and theories. You are a true friend (I would write "true" in bold if I could, but can't on this blog) and I appreciate that more than you can know.

I hope you get your computer soon because you're missed here on the blog.

I love you, too! Have a great 4th of July weekend!

Love and hugs, Beverly

Hi Lola:

I agree with your post written at 2.03 p.m. You nailed it. Society does need to demand that the entertainment industry needs to be held to higher standards for our children's sake. Time to empty the trash, let these people go to rehab, then prove to society that they have changed for the better.

Your post at 1:43 p.m. If I may elaborate a bit........IMO, Katherine wouldn't deliberate try to ruin Michael's memory/legacy. The belts were being sold with the implication that MJ3 were behind the idea as their signatures were put on a single belt at a very high price. Since Katherine and Joe were behind this venture, some of us feel the children were being exploited. The belts could easily have been designed to reflect the Jackson 5 or Jackson Family for profit. With Katherine as legal guardian and not Joe, this is why her name is being brought up lately. As for her photo book of MJ, this was done with Mann who's millions were made in the pornographic industry. Is Mann taking advantage of Katherine's mourning and financial debt? When Mann was interviewed he stated Katherine was over $10 million in debt and she will make millions off these deals with him. Obviously he didn't care about her privacy to relay that info to the media. Did Mann sit down with Katherine and explain any monies she earns from her photo book will be garnished by Segye Times and she won't receive a dime, but Mann is guaranteed his share? If he didn't then he has manipulated her along with all of MJ's fans. I, as an MJ fan, can survive another day by not purchasing the photo book to line Mann's pockets.

Kenny Ortega and others were aware of the Encino home foreclosure. That house was transferred into MJ's name so Joe and Katherine could avoid losing it to Segye Times. My continuing question is WHY didn't Joe and/or Katherine sell belts, Michael photo's and family movies during the last 10 years to financially take the burden off Michael? Where was the caring or helping their children then?

Giving an opinion and debating what the media and youtube's publish
creates interesting conversation. It's up to each individual to believe what they want. Choice is freedom.

MJJ Supporter:

Thank you for the information.

MJJSupporter!!!! Wow! Finally, an intelligent post! Thank you for exposing the truth about a certain individual. Great job!

lola- I have worked in the New York City Public school system, working with a lot of children of all ages and diversities. And some of them are known to be very violent- boys and girls. There have been times when these young men have gotten into situation with girls and vice versa. What are we to do with them??? Shun them, or show them a better way. As a previously stated I do not condone what he had done, but at the same time everyone needs to learn from their mistakes, and I hope he's doing that. Another thing, I NEVER put any celebrity or public figure on a pedestal. I admire MJ- but I'm aware that he is a man, that I'm pretty sure has made mistakes. It is very easy to shun someone-what about trying to help them out. Don't get me wrong, there are some people that will not change but I firmly believe if this society took a different approach to this situation because it affects couples of all ages, race, orientation that probably these situations won't happen. I knew someone who was murdered in this fashion and I believe if her assailant was given the proper help because he was known to be abusive her death would have been avoided. I have worked with the youth for many years and I can tell you we as a society need to get involved so certain things can be avoided. I for one, hope that this man can truly get the help he needs.

lola- Another thing I will tell you IMO-parents need to stop looking to other such as figures on tv for their children to look up to. These are people and sometimes the image isn't real. The first teacher, role model a child has is their parent.

Regarding Domestic Violence – IMO, if a person is known to continually do this type of thing, then they obviously have a problem and need help and be willing to accept it and try and change. Some people can't and won't.

We can write Chris Brown off without giving him another chance, but is that the right thing to do.

We don't know the full story what lead up to that incident. Only the two parties involved know that. Not that I'm condoning it.

No-one should be violent towards another person at all even in this imperfect world.

@doubtingthomas2010
– Hi, I agree with your statement about the parent being the first teacher, a role model for a child. However, sadly not all parents are good role models and thus some children fall between the cracks. What is the solution? Perhaps more community loving support and caring. I remember as a young mother when other caring friends would give me advice and support with my children. I thank them to this day.

I am deeply sadded what is happening.. now Mrs. Jackson is being questioned...
This is Her Son... She Has Every right to write about her Son...
A Mothers LOVE for Her SON... Bless You Mrs. Jackson.

What needs to happen is Fans, People need to stop looking & Waiting for mike's return....

Jessie from Auckland NZ, i agree with your post 100%,a person who continually commits domestic violence most certainly needs help,but not always willing to accept help,as they can't admit to their problem ,therefor the violence continues,until the victim seeks help..Thanks for sharing you thoughts on the subject.(Smiles) to you.

butterfly,i agree with your post to doubtingthomas2010,there is support groups in ones communities that will gladly give advise and great support with raising a child. but, very few are willing to ask for help.There are so many young mothers and fathers that can barely care for themselves let alone a child.At times these children become a war of the state meaning put into foster care.These children end up having a very rough life,I do believe these are the poor children that fall through the cracks.(Smiles) to you.

To all bloggers-Happy 4th of July!!!!!

Let us celebrate the rights we have in this country:

1. right to believe what we want.
2. right to express those views.
3. right to question what we are told and are allowed to research.

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!!!

butterfly- I know about those who fall in the cracks far too well. I agree with your post 100%.

doubtingthomas2010,Even thou I am not American,Happy 4th of July to you.celebrate the rights you were given in your country.And of course strong and positive.as always.(Smiles) to you.

Pixie Dust- those that fall through the cracks can come from ANY economic background, believe me there are some people who by their actions one would assume they come from a horrible background when they have 2 caring parents at home that have good jobs. Yes there some that become wards of the state and there a plenty that don't and they commit the same crime. This issue needs to be looked as a problem ALL of society is dealing with, not only one particular group.

Lost Soul- Interesting post.

Pixie Dust- thank you 🙂

doubtingthomas2010,yes you are correct,i didn't mean to single out certain groups,it is most certainly on a larger scale.thanks for sharing your insight on the subject (Smiles) to you.

Marguerite,good evening.Hope you had a wonderful day.! (Smiles) to you.

@LoveConquersAll
Hello again my friend

@"Pixie Dust " July 3rd, 2010 10:40 pm ET

Thank you so much for your comments. Appreciate them. I was just wondering what country are you from, as I just read you were saying you were not American. Sorry, you don't have to say so if don't want to.

Jessie from Auckland,NZ,you are very welcome for the comments. (Smiles) to you.

Goodnight, may you have a wonderful evening.sweet dreams (Smiles) to you.

Again, you change your name, and post more lies. Show me your proof. Slander will get you no where. Let me point out the obvious, just what is a ten year old doing in a chat room anyway?! Hmmm... Sounds like someone wants attention. Show me screen shots, IP address, PROOF of what you say. I can post anything about another person, DOES not make it the truth. For anyone who patted this person on the back, I take it that you also felt Michael was guilty of the same things in 1993 and 2005. Do you see what this person is doing? Grow a brain and figure it out. Mr. A has a gentle Michael like personality, therefore he must be a child molester. Hmmmm.....destroy another innocent person's reputation without proof. What happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty.
Michael, I now completely understand what you have been through with baseless accusations. The lies that people tell, the lengths they will go to destroy you. Again, I am going through that pain with my dear, sweet friend Mr. A. By the way, I am not a ten year old, nor a twelve year old, have been speaking to Mr. A for months now. NOT once has he ever said anything that was not appropriate, nor out of the ordinary for an adult to say. Therefore be careful of wolves in sheep's clothing, spreading lies and rumors. The next person they may accuse is you. Happy July 4th.

@ Mr. A
Sending you love and hugs my friend, hold your head high. I know your heart, and there's not a thing wrong with it. See you soon.

@MJJSupporter
I am not sure where you came from and I really don't care. But slander is a serious act. I am not sure about anyone else on this blog, but I will forever believe that you and your friends have made up some horrible lies and it goes to show that people can be so very cruel. I will forever stand up and defend Mr. A, because he is a very kind and gentle HUMAN being. He has a heart of gold and spirit that soars. So you can post all the lies and crap that you and your friends feel so to do...But I for one will never believe you......It is garbage, trash, just like the tabloids and the only thing you are doing is hurting another person by your lies the same thing that Michael had to go through. Does this make you feel good. Are you proud of what you do? Are you able to sleep at night knowing that you are hurting another soul? It is beyond me as to why people want to be so cruel. If you have nothing nice to say, then you shouldn't be saying nothing at all. Mr A is now, forever and always my friend and it really doesn't matter to me what you say because I believe him to be more than what you could ever knock him down to be. A very special person and a friend and that will never change. Get a grip and move on.
Much Love

Tales or truth,
stories create our reality.
No secrets – no lies
within ourselves, our homes, society, media.
Simple.
It's a way of life.

Knowing this is
a road less traveled,
with an open heart and eyes,
come forgiveness and blessings of Love

LOVE & Peace to ALL!

True-Too-You:

I wrote a long post to you earlier this evening thanking you for your perfect rhyme and insight regarding the "Mister Perfect" who left the blog. I'm happy I got the opportunity to read it before it was removed by the mod, along with MJJ Supporter comment and mine to you. Your comments and mine were not offensive in anyway to this blog. Does that reveal to you who is claiming to be Mister Perfect? It sure reveals itself to me. The person with the same tactic's as Michael Love? One leaves, then the other one appears. Hummm Too much time on its hands for moderating?

rosegarden:

I'm sorry to you. I missed your 3:07 pm comment during my first read through. You make an excellent point between the years of 2005 and 2009. You are absolutely correct. Another way to view it is MJ's fan base would have purchased anything before or after his death. The people that felt MJ was guilty or wasn't a fan in the first place aren't going to purchased anything after his death either.

I appreciate your kindness in your intelligent comment. Thank you.

Hello my friends i hope that is ok for me to say that (Giggling)Thank you for your kind words they warm my heart you are all so dear.It seems to me and others that such unkind words are spoken in haste please be aware of the hurt you are causeing to posters.Remember words are the cause of war and famine a little word can grow
Keep love in your hearts Always

rosegarden:

I forgot a question that you asked in your comment "where would an 80 year old lady seek financial aide from?

The estate is providing her $26,000 per month with possible increases every 6 months. Last month was a scheduled hearing for the probate court to review another increase, but it was continued to be rescheduled. Her home is safe because it is in the estate's name (MJ's) and the estate is making her house payment. Basically she won't be making any additional profit from her new business ventures. Segye Times will obtain those profits. Perhaps her goal is to get Segye paid off with the help of Joe and Jermaine. That will take a few years to accomplish. She is definitely feeling the same stress that Michael had been incurring.

Happy 4th of July.

MJJ supporter, I said "finally an intelligent post". I should have said "finally, an intelligent post about Mr. A", because there are other intelligent posts on the blog, namely Carie's and Susan's.

The love letters addressed to Mr. A on this Michael Jackson blog sicken me. It's no longer about Michael, it's about trying to get dates with twisted individuals .... And these are adults for God's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!! Excuse-me, but I think I need to to puke a little ....

Gently I ask,
what is the goal,
To spew only anger,
disrupts one's soul,
Gently I ask,
what is the goal,
With eyes of rage,
to deep to console,
Gently I ask,
what is the goal,
To fear the inner being,
tortures one's control,
Gently I ask,
what is the goal,
Peace, Love and Happiness,
shall make one whole,
Gently I ask....

Bless You All~

@mjj supporter
Have you ever heard if you have nothing nice to say about an person then don’t say nothing? Well, I cannot and will not believe that post that you posted yesterday. Mr. A has never been unkind to me. This person that you prescribing are not the person I know, and I really do not believe that he is what you say. This is the problem that someone else went through lies, lies, and lies. Why, you insist on that he is all these people are beyond me. Why, do you insist on doing this, and discrediting someone’s name?
Mr. A is not that person to me. He has always, be kind and treat all with respect and a loving heart person. I do not believe what you posted and will not believe what you posted. This is the problem here already. Some of us do not know who to be kind or respectful of others, and I do not blame Mr. A for leaving with people always bashing and destroying ones name here. I do consider Mr. A my friend and will continue to believe in him and not what you posted here. As far as the other names you posted that suppose to be Aka’s of Mr. A, well I will not even entertain all that. Mr. A is my friend and as a friend I will back him 100 percent. I do not know anything of the others you mention and do not care to know them. My theory about all this if I was not present then I can’t entertain the thoughts, and to be honest neither should others unless you were actually present when all this suppose to had happen. As I stated before people forget how to respect each other and because he may had not agree or rub you the wrong way you come to the blog and try to destroy a person’s name, has very distasteful that is. Met or A if you are reading this post, please know that I am behind you 100 percent and do not let that nasty post. You would think after what Michael went through, that people would think before they post, and get better proof. Mr. A has never come off as interested in talking to kids when we chatted, at the chat room and everyone far as I know are adults not kids. So please take your lies elsewhere, we do not need it here.

@Angie Pie

Standing in the fullness of my true nature, I am free.
I am free. What a powerful statement! By speaking these three simple words, I create the space for true freedom in my life. I release the chains of the past and invite the possibilities of the future.

To be free is to no longer stand in a place of pain, anger and hurt but to move forward into peace, joy and happiness. It is as simple as choosing to accept my divine birthright of freedom rather than the restrictions I have accepted as truth.

I am a spiritual being, unhampered by the limitations of the world. I am free. No longer do I buy into a limited story of my life. Instead, I stand in the fullness of my true nature. I accept that in Spirit and in Truth, I am absolutely and unconditionally free.

If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.–John 8:36

My land is shaped by the sea,
a rugged coast line it is,
The ocean hugs its spirit,
for loving comfort it gives,
With every wave that hits my land,
a new furrow is placed,
A passing of the old,
A new birth embraced,
In many years that goes by,
a new shape is formed,
The ocean is the marker,
the rolling waves have transformed

Bless the Water that Shapes my Land~

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Who's the most saintly one of all ....

No, this isn't Michael's message. Hypocrisy isn't Michael's message. Michael was no saint. Michael was a human being. Michael was angry at the injustices. Listen to his lyrics, listen to his Dangerous and History albums. Listen carefully.

Mr. A. has always conducted himself on the blog in the most respectful, kind, caring and polite manner possible. So, for anyone to make the insinuations they have made against him is completely unacceptable as they are totally untrue. Why does this type of slander happen to the people who deserve it the least?

Always remember to be kind and choose your words carefully because you never know how deeply your remarks can cut someone to the core. You may think that your casual posts or scathing accusations would have no profound effect, but I can assure you they do.

On a lighter note, I hope that everyone has a happy and safe Fourth Of July!

@ Letta
You go girl.

Susan:
Let me see if I understand you correctly, you have never had any interaction with Mr. A, but seem to agree with someone Else's assessment? Mr. A has NEVER ever made any claims to be someone he is not, nor has he ever said one word that was unkind about anyone..even those who seem to attack him without proof. Not once has he ever done any of those things he has been accused of. I would hope that you Susan would never accuse someone of the awful things poor Michael went through without proof. Concrete proof, because as we all watched with MJ, even words are false when it comes to such wild accusations. Mr. A has NEVER asked for anyone's e-mail here on the blog, nor has he ever made any type of advances to a child in my experiences with him. Again, Susan, I speak from personal experience. The hateful person who keeps posting this crap has yet to show one shred of proof. I have asked them to do so on more than one occasion. This same person tracked me down in a chatroom to hurl these same accusations, and still offered no proof. I can tell you I know what is going on. This person has it in their sick mind Mr. A is Michael. Do you hear me? Yes, that's what is going on. They have tried for months now to get Mr. A to email them, to talk to them...begged for his attention. Since he has chosen to ignore them for his own reasons, they are behaving like a spoiled child. Point the finger, make wild stories up. That'll get his attention now won't it. Interestingly, doesn't it parallel what Michael suffered? When this person who has now changed their name 7 times to post these lies, (at least 7, could be more) could not get me to turn on Mr. A in that chat room, decided to take it up here on the blog. Susan, how would you feel if someone did this to a friend of yours that you know beyond a shadow of doubt, is a good person who has done nothing wrong? Just thought I would share my thoughts, please don't' think I am singling you out Susan, you and I have a mutual respect for each others opinion. I just wanted you to be presented with the facts first so that you can have a more informed choice. Thanks.

@ Rhonda
Breathe. Not worth getting all worked up for. I am sure that once many realize that you are defending Mr. A, you do so with the knowledge that he is not as claimed. They are just upset he comes into your chat and has not paid any attention to them. Wish people would make assumptions about others. Understand that they will see Michael in so many, because that's the impact he has made on us all. He has left this impression in our hearts, so that when we speak, sometimes we do sound like him. That doesn't make us fakes, or trying to play games. That is just proof that we listened to Michael in the way in which he cares for all humanity. I know I carry a tiny piece of him in my heart, but I also know that when it comes to bullies on a play ground, I can only take so much. This MJJSupporter is one of them.
Take care, and please, don't let this effect your health, keep that blood pressure down, will ya?

@MJJSupporter
Please don't post that untrue stuff. If you really were an MJ supporter you wouldn't treat people like this. Please leave this beautiful soul alone!

@ibelieve25,Rhonda, Letta
I totally agree. This person is getting on my nerves going under different names writing tabloid like stuff!

@Maria C
I'm happy to see you back here. I'm sorry that you've been having a rough time with your computer. I hope you're doing well.

@ Lost Soul
You are very welcome and I wish you good luck in these blogs, just be careful here you could fine love but hate and jealousy, true friends and false friends, kind people and rude people so is not easy keep the heart safe, although at the end I think Love always prevails.

Take care and have a happy 4th of july if you are in US.

Letta,I agree with your post ,and I cannot comprehend the hatred and lies,spewed here? why??? Mr.A. has never harmed anyone on here ,can someone help me to understand wht is really the motivating factor here?
maybe we need to be more concerned with the ' mirror' ,and not trying to second guess why we are 'really ' here? It is silly ,and it needs to stop .thank you Letta,for expressing your self.,you are a beacon of Love ,and Light,the hate really needs to stop. Love Maria C.

@MJJSupporter
Please don't post that untrue stuff. If you really were an MJ supporter you wouldn't treat people like this. Please leave this beautiful soul alone!

@ibelieve25,Rhonda, Letta
I totally agree. This person is getting on my nerves going under different names writing tabloid like stuff!

@Maria C
I'm happy to see you back here. I'm sorry that you've been having a rough time with your computer. I hope you're doing well.

@SuzieQ

Love Letters, really?..Since when is words of kindness and friendships considered love letters.....So with everyone posting it has been wonderful knowing you and love to you is now considered love letters.
Amazing......

@Everyone
I can not believe with all the intelligents that is on this blog that everyone is going to automatically take one persons word as to what they think someone did. The people posting about Mr. A is really one person that has multiple names. They keep doing this and it makes it easier to slander people. It is a shame with everything that we all know that Michael had to go through and deal with, that we would automatically assume again that someone is telling the truth....It is all lies, just like the media and tabloids and again you all choose to believe it. I am a little concerened as to why someone would be letting there12 year old into a chat room or forum and not be there with them. So with me telling people that I miss them and that I love them and holding out my hand to you and so forth and so on, I should be considered a pedophile. That is really nice to know....Since when is showing kindness, courtesy, love and compassion a crime. If this is the case, then we are all guilty. I agree with ibelieve on where is the proof....Bring the proof if you are going to accuse.....screen shots, ip address, chat log, forum log whatever it is......Are just tell us what forum was he supposedly at when this occured. I do not understand how everyone gets that someone can be a pedophile in the virtual world...Are they gonna jump through the computer screen and grab you? How do you brush someones hair in the virtual world and most of us on here send virtual hugs and kisses so now are we all pedophiles. because we fit the profile.....If that is the cause then we all are. If you have ever read any of Mr A's post, you will be able to tell that he is no such thing. He is very kind, caring and he wants to spread the message that Michael has left. So now because he is trying to do so he is considered a pedophile. If you all believe that, then you all are just as bad as the ones that tried to hurt and harm Michael....If listening and watching Michael ever taught you anything, it should have been never believe what someone spreads or tells unless you witness it for yourself or it comes straight from them. Posting lies is not intelligent at all....What it is, is very hurtful and a shame that people are still getting treated the way Michael did.....Acting this way is not coming from any of Michael's supporter's or fans....

Doubtingthomas-
Children look up to people in the media not because parents want them to but because they are inundated with the media by movies, Tv and the internet. You sound young and not aware of what it is like raising children in today" world. Kids are often more influenced by their peers and the media than their parents....it shouldn't be, but it is often the case.

i do not know about Mr A
those words were not for him that day
i have only said hello once or twice
and he always seemed very nice
i dont know him and thats the truth
i will not judge him i have no proof
so please dont take my words and spread
cos about him those words were not said

i believe i will be there its all for lovelove is free

Susan62503-
Nice to know we agree on so many issues.
Perhaps Katherine didn't try to sell a book, the belts, etc. when MJ was alive because there wasn't as much interest then as there is now – after MJ's death. This is the heartbreaking sad truth. There is much interest right now, not 2 years ago, and perhaps not 2 years from now. I see her as a strong woman taking control of her family and doing the best she can for ALL her family. God Bless her.

IMO, MJJ Supporter came to this blog to reveal that Mr. A was an imposter. Whether his/her individual statements were correct, none of us know. These are just typed words like tabloids, magazines, books and newspapers and as proven on the LKL blog for a year, some people choose what is factual and what isn't.

Many of you enjoy the writings of Mr. A, Michael LOVE, **mj**, etc. They each write in the context of what you want to hear and into your belief system. Their words are beautifully stated as if it's Michael writing directly to you. Remember Michael LOVE pretended to be MJ. Many of you jump on the bandwagon to praise these people thus providing your heartfelt love which trumps these people to become the blog God. They come to the blog for a short time then burn out and leave. What about you? Most of you have been here since Sept., others since last June. You are the dedicated people to Michael Jackson who don't leave at every whim. You are the people that endure and stand behind your beliefs for the love and justice for Michael. Your own writings are far superior to the Mr. A's, Michael LOVE's and **mj's**. Why not put yourself and your friends here on that pedestal rather than the strangers that pass through the night?

As to my personal opinion on Mr. A, and Michael LOVE I have observed a pattern. I believe they are both female and the same person. When Michael LOVE left this blog, Mr. A. appeared. They both type the same words. They threaten to contact CNN LKL when a blogger disputes them. They both managed to get the LKL mods to delete selected comments written by them. They both state they are leaving, wait for your praises to return and then they return.

Michael Jackson had far more goals in life, not just passing love around, but his charities and the world environment. Love won't keep us or our children alive but cleaning up and saving the environment will. Michael painted the front door, it's up to us to build the house. Michael told Kenny Ortega to build the house and he'll paint the front door. I took Michael's words and put them into an environmental context. Kudos to Michael. He was brilliant.

SusieQ:
Hi lady. It's good to see you again. You are always direct and to the point. I love that about you. Have you seen the pic of MJ flipping off Sony and him holding the sign "Sony Sucks"? He fought for what he believed was right and had the freedom of choice to do so. I was proud to see that he is real human being that gets angry and protests. He wasn't loving or holding out his hand to Sony that day. I wished he was still with us today. I miss him.

Michael not only gave to charities in great monetary proportions, he also gave the gift of himself, which goes to show that it it not always about money. Sure, he earned tons of money because of his many talents but, beyond all of that...His heart was showcased when he would take time to visit orphanages and make sure children were provided for and were comforted. He WALKED his TALK. And he never uttered a word about it.

He showed Love and Compassion for all. Money simply cannot buy that. You can have all of the money and riches in the world, but it does not buy you happiness ~ Maybe for a while but it does not last. The true spirit of Giving of one's self is truly what it is all about. This is what makes Michael stand out above the rest. There is never enough to say about him. He could have just sent money to all of these organizations and did not have to ever take an active role or place himself there as a source of comfort and to mend broken hearts. It was all about giving back, being thankful and sharing what you have with the less fortunate. Michael saw the face of God in these children which is why he was so drawn to them. Such remarkable, not to mention, extraordinary qualities that make us all so proud to call ourselves fans. Now it is up to us to carry out his vision and his wishes...His Army of Love marches on.

Pardon the cliche'..."Money Can't Buy you LOVE" ~ But a sincere heart and soul can by showing a little kindness, empathy and compassion to one another. After all, it's all for Love...L.O.V.E.

Keep the Faith...L.O.V.E to all!

ibelieve25:

I realize you were angry when you wrote your comment in defense of your friend Mr. A. You made the following statement below:

For anyone who patted this person on the back, I take it that you also felt Michael was guilty of the same things in 1993 and 2005. Do you see what this person is doing? Grow a brain and figure it out. Mr. A has a gentle Michael like personality
****
I do not believe the acquisations MMJ Supporter listed regarding Mr. A. What I interpreted was the comparison of blogger alias' she listed and the revelation of being an imposter. There isn't any comparison between Michael Jackson and Mr. A, other than he/she TYPES like a gentle Michael personality. You, Maria C., True-too-you, Luda and many more write with a gentle personality also. You ladies are true fans and don't blow out in the wind when someone contests you. All of you don't insert the crying and hee hee's to emulate MJ.

We have seen and heard MJ for numerous years. We've heard his words from his mouth to our ears. Mr. A is just another typing blogger that is a virtual stranger vs someone we've actually seen or heard.

We had a 12 year old on this blog last Fall. His name was Jack. It was during the Michael LOVE timeframe.

One needs to think. twice.. on what they say...
Stickes & Stones will break the Bones but Names will never hurt...
But they do..
Look at it how would you feel if the table was turned around..

letta(beLIEve) thank you once again for sharing your morning quotes always much appreciated.Smiles to you.

Maria C.it is nice to see your post,you are missed as well.I to hope Mr.A returns to the blog,he just has to overlook those negative posts and only read the positive ones, There are a lot more to the positive side.There he will find he has a lot of friends and love for him.Maria I hope to see you return soon where you can blog on more of a regular basis.Sending many smiles your way.

@mjj supporter

The post that mysteriously disappeared, I read it but yesterday I just did not want to give him any comment because I was very evil and could tell a lot of unnecessary stuff. And now I've cooled ......
From where you have so much hatred??? You have insulted the man who personally to you and other bloggers do not create nothing wrong, Mr. A. absolutely nobody humiliated and insulted. He did not make any dramatic statements, but simply came here and talked with people who share his outlook. And to treat all very respectful and respectfully with all his sincerity and kindness that he showed here. And with your hand, this act seemed really low and not reasonable.
God bless you, let it gives you wisdom, intelligence and insight!

I thought in my life i have just about experienced it all.Hate jealousy anger happiness sadness but to read this blog i am appalled.How some people have the audacity to instigate hate is beyond me why is this so where is the love' compassion.I have come to the concusion that some of the posters here may not have love in there life it makes me feel sad and disheartned to see this are planet is starved of love it starts with you .Yes you this may be my last post i can not continue to make my heart sad are journey has only just begun
Keep love in your hearts always

This is it!,Your poem at 11:36 am.Thank you for sharing your poem.It was absolutely beautiful.Smiles to you.

Lost Soul,your post at 3:27 am,I have never spoken to you but by all means you can call me your friend.I have read your posts and enjoy reading them very much.(Smiles) to you.

@ Mary Jane
Nothing wrong in forgiving ourselves for our mistakes – we are human -we are God's perfect creation – human but perfect in his design. He forgives us – we should be able to forgive ourselves. Not forgiving yourself is keeping you from being all that you can be – all that "HE" intended for you to become.

Peace & Love

@Susan62509:

I'm just curious. Why do you believe that Mr. A and *Michael...L.O.V.E.* are actually a female posting on the blog. I would be interested to know how you reached that conclusion. I'm not being sarcastic; I'm really interested.

SUZIE Q!!
How are you my love!!
OMG!! You are so RiGHT!! Michael was no wishy washy love child from some bad Woodstock movie!!! He was a man with backbone and attitude and anger and fire, and he showed this in his music and dance...I would not be a fan otherwise!!! I feel like we are in some warped church sometimes on these bloggys!! And the award for the most self righteous and Godly goes to...
Why the big fuss over some stranger when this blog is for MICHAEL JACKSON!!! Remember him??!! Who cares if this Mr. A leaves the blogs...seriously, how sad to beg a stranger to remain and, what? Blog about what??
I hope you are just delightful my lovely Suzie Q!!!!
You are the light in this abyss!!!!!

Hi Susan!!
Hope you had a wonderful 4th!
I do have a daughter and I would never exploit her to pay for her siblings or myself...that is wrong any way you look at it. And I certainly would never sell my personal albums or videos for any price. Katherine is making a lot of money per month, and if that is not enough maybe she should re-evaluate her spending habits. MJ3's money needs to be accounted for, and I am sure that was an unwanted surprise to those thinking the cash would flow freely. Michael was the ATM since the age of '5'!!! He lost out on his childhood! And now in death he remains the ATM...it just is wrong to use his life and memories to generate cash, especially for scum like those associated with Katherine.
Yes, the getting is good now, so that is where all these deals are coming from...sad. And why not during the last 10 years...because Michael was abandoned and the interest was not there...and during the '80's, Michael supplied enough cash so grubbing was unnecessary. My heart breaks for Katherine, but she really needs to think about what she is doing and how it will effect MJ3 and Michael's legacy.
And absolutely, opinions are what these blogs are intended for...opinions regarding the topic of Michael. Death being a fact is not up for opinion...and clearly Michael died or none of this garbage would be going on. And as Sada so very nicely put it, the Jackson's are fair game because they put themselves out there...those who feel differently can disregard and move on.
I wish Michael were here too...he loved fireworks!!!

Happy 4th!
Bless our troops who continue to fight for our freedom!
Rest in peace sweet Michael.

@Lost soul
Sorry for my typo, I wanted to write find in stead of fine lol, but english is not my first language.

I am truely sorry you are sad for some posts, I know kidness and love seem to be disappeared for some people here, but please dont pay attention to unpleasant people, there are still many of us with much love to give, please smile and if you dont have any smile just right now I am sending one from here!

A hug and L.O.V.E

Lost Soul,Your post at 5:29 pm.I totally understand what you are saying.I have never spoken to you until today.I have read your comments and really enjoyed them.I know there is the odd nasty posts but honestly there are a lot of positive posts.a lot of loving caring people that post on the blog.Please don't leave on account of the very few.There are ones here that would love to be your friend,so please try and reconsider.(Smiles) to you.

@Lost Soul July 4th, 2010 5:29 pm ET

Thank you for your touching post. It is sad, but there will always be people like this out there. One just has to feel pity on them and pray for them.

The biblical quote comes to mind.........if someone smites you on one cheek, give them the other cheek.

I know we are all not perfect and this is a fallen world, but we can strive towards it.

Carie, Susan, so nice to see you here! Ouuuf, what a relief! I hope your 4th of July weekend was enjoyable. We celebrated Canada Day 3 days ago, on the 1st :).

Yes, I don't like it when Michael is portrayed as a meek individual, which he wasn't. He was an extremely passionate being, passionate about many things and not shy to express it either, like he did with Sony, and with Tom Sneddon in one of his songs. I hear anger, lots of anger, in many of his songs, particularly the ones that deal with injustices. Yes he had a lot of love, but it was the real deal and it was genuine. His love was for humanity and for justice, not for some stranger on a blog trying to pass himself as Michael.

And for those who are condemning me for agreeing with MJJ supporter, I do not know if all he/she said about Mr. A. is true or not, but there is no doubt in my mind that Mr. A. is posting under other names and no doubt in my mind that he and the imposter known as 'Michael LOVE' are one and the same. I cannot respect anyone who tries to pass themselves as Michael Jackson. They are not here for Michael, they're here for their own ego, and that is not respectable. Michael, unfortunately, is no longer with us.

This blog is pretty tame and quite decent compared to some of the others I have come across.

But of course you will get the occasional ones out of the blue to try you.

Tatiana,that is so sweet,you send those smiles because remember (Smiles are sunshine and we must scatter them.)Hopefully Lost soul will receive your smile ,and it will brighten his day and warm his heart. (Smiles) to you.

@LoveConquersAll July 4th, 2010 4:38 pm ET

Great comment.

I was just pondering on this about Michael too the other day and I believe Michael always had his heart in the right place. He showed it in his actions. He was and is a shining example.

Sorry Carie, I can't pick a winner ... they're all so good!!!

Good night sweetie! Hope the little one doesn't wake you up too often during the night .... Sweet dreams ....

Suzie Q!!!
You are acute and intelligent and if you saw something that leads you to the conclusion that Mr. A and Michael Love are one and the same I believe you!! I don't pay attention to those who come here for self fulfillment so I never read either's posts!!
And...I thought this blog was for MICHAEL JACKSON!!!
Are we in the wrong place?? as there seems to be more ado about nothing and nothing about Michael!!!
I love when Michael has that poster for Sony...with that choice word...no love sent with that!!! 🙂
Love to you my Suzie Q!!!
Happy belated Canada day!!!
Rest in peace sweet Michael.
Peace.

When a Stranger falls... you give Him/Her Your Hand....
When someone is sick.. you bring them food & comfort....
When someone is sad ... you bring them smiles.... Make them Laugh...
When there is the Love That Finally Shines... You did what We are sent out to do.....
Love & Peace...

It is Much easier for ones to water flowers then to give Love to One Another..
We need Love to Grow.. Just as Planet Need Water..

OMG!! Of course I believe my Suzie Q!!!
Suzie is not caught up in the love fest and has a clear mind!!
Love you my Suzie Q!!
BC is wonderful...every 4 hours, but I've become used to it!
I wonder if Michael did the late night feedings?? Probably because he had difficulty sleeping. He really should be here...it sometimes just hits me and makes me feel so sad.
Anyhoo...love to you!
I am happy to see you light up this place!!!
Rest in peace sweet Michael.
Night!!

@ "Pixie Dust "
Thanks for your comment, you are a sweet person too. I hope my smile could warm lost soul heart and do his day britgher. I feel really sad when I see a kind person sad and the only thing I can do from here is to send a smile and a hug.

Smiles back to you and Love 🙂

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing". Mother Teresa

Lost Soul- Please do not leave it is nice to see someone post that can see the truth. There are two posters on here who are screaming about people attacking others. Well those two posters are the ones who attack others and not think twice about it. I have been attacked by these two people for the last 4 months more times than i can count. Now that one of their group is on the receiving end it is a bad thing to do. Talk about a double standard. I could have a field day with how they claim to be perfec but I won't. I vowed to make a change and I am keeping to it.

The Legend (high five to Ozzie)
TC

Here are some famous Charlie Chaplin (Greatest Comedian In The World) quotes.........

"A day without laughter is a day wasted.

A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

Actors search for rejection. If they don't get it they reject themselves.

Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference.

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.

I am for people. I can't help it."

I can see now why Michael loved Charlie Chaplin. I am rediscovering him myself and after watching the "Smile" video with the old black and white clips of Charlie Chaplin on it..........I have never laughed so much in a long time. He is like a tonic.

Taken fom the "Smile" song written by Charlie Chaplin........

"That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life it's still worthwhile
If you just smile"

Yes, and we do need to smile more. Just like the beautiful Sunflower.

Jessie from Auckland NZ,I agree with your comment 100% Michael most certainly had his heart in the right place.A man with a heart of gold He was definitely a shining example to all.(Smiles) to you..

Apathy and evil. The two work hand in hand. They are the same, really.... Evil wills it. Apathy allows it. Evil hates the innocent and the defenseless most of all. Apathy doesn't care as long as it's not personally inconvenienced.
JAKE THOENE, Shaiton's Fire

The small man thinks that small acts of goodness are of no benefit, and does not do them; and that small deeds of evil do no harm, and does not refrain from them. Hence, his wickedness becomes so great that it cannot be concealed, and his guilt so great that it cannot be pardoned.
CONFUCIUS, The Wisdom of Confucius

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate. ~ Socrates

~ The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less. ~ Eldridge Cleaver

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us. ~ Herman Hesse

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us. ~ Herman Hesse

One does not hate as long as one has a low esteem of someone, but only when one esteems him as an equal or a superior. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Few people can be happy unless they hate some other person, nation, or creed ~ Bertrand Russel

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr

When is the hate and attacking going to end? Is it ever going to end? Enough is enough. If you can't say something nice then leave, hate has no place here on the blogs.

mary u from ohio,your post at 10:39 pm was very true, thank you for sharing that with all of us.(Smiles) to you.

Jessie from Auckland NZ, thank you for sharing the famous quotes from Charlie Chaplin,he most certainly was one of the finest comedians there ever was. a true classic .(Smiles) to you.

Through all of his personal heartache, Michael stayed strong and always had a positive attitude toward life.

"In a world filled with hate. we must still dare to hope...
In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort...
In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream...
And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe".
~ MICHAEL JACKSON

It is not up to us to judge others or their motives, if any. We are all entitled to believe what we want to believe in. Live and Let Live".
God is the judge. No one is better than anyone else. We are all here for one purpose...to "come together" over Michael ~ Not to ridicule each other and our beliefs if they are not like our own. To each, his own. Keep an open heart and an open mind...It can be a very interesting learning experience.

L.O.V.E, Respect and show a little Compassion for each other as hard as it may be sometimes...That's all.

I believe in a BETTER WORLD...This cannot be attained without Unity and Harmony amongst one another.

Good Night and Much L.O.V.E to ALL!

Love To You
Pixie Dust, True To You, Marguerite, Tatiana & To All.

When I think of all the Warmness that Michael brought .... It Warms My Heart... My Heart Is happy..

Wishing everyone a joyous July 4th. For me this holiday goes deeper than just Independence.... It is also remembrance of those who died to set this country free. I am deeply indebted to those men and women who fought for our independence....

@ letta(IbeLIEve) July 4th, 2010 10:33 am ET

That post showed your strength, kindness and willingness to defend a friend! I applaud your courage.

mary u from ohio, that is oh so sweet that your heart is happy,that the warmness Michael brought did this for you.It has,made my heart happy too.(Smiles) to you.

MIchael Hope you Got To Shoot off some Fireworks....

Hate, jealousy and attacking have no place on these blogs. Those of us that truely love Michael and believe in him are taking the blogs back. Enough is enough.

It seems that your post has disappeared but thank you so much for your post. You are a person that we need in this world like you as well. You are a great soul. I hope that your computer comes to you soon so you won't have to struggle with it. Lots of love,hugs and blessings

@Beverly – Chicago
Hello, nice to see you here. I haven't seen you in awhile. I hope you've been doing great. Lots of love, hugs and blessings

@babycarie
I realize that this is the internet and just a blog...I am also sure that he does have friends other than on the internet. But people do meet and become very good friends from the internet and some not so much. There have been a few who have actually met up and are now outside virtual friends. Like I said we have had a differences and I know that if he chooses to leave the blog it is his choice. I have made some very good friends on this blog and I have made some enemies as you can see. But it doesn't matter to me if it is virtual or real world, no one deserves the kind of treatment that Mr A is getting here or anywhere else. I do realize that there is a lot of people that get slander on here and the real world, and I am not saying they deserve it either. I will always continue to take up for Mr. A regardless of what anyone else thinks of him because I know it to be a lie. I would do the same for you as well as any of the others that I have met on here. As far as the love fest I have no idea. Have I posted poems on here, yes I have and it is not to get a date or anything else. They are posted because of the love that they have in them and it is how I felt at the time. And regardless of this just being virtual I do have my friends on here and it is still wrong that some people have posted something so nasty and cruel about anyone. As I have stated many times, as we are all fans of Michael's, UNTIED WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, DIVIDED WE FALL and I personally do not want to see Michael's love for anyone fall and I do not want to see any fan be treated the way Mr. A has been treated. He is not on here as anyone else but himself and he deserves better than what he is getting. I do hope that things are going well with you and baby. Please give her my love, big hug and kiss.
Much Love To You

@Simon
You my friend I am speechless
You are a wise person and see many things

@LoveConquersAll
Good Morning to you my friend
Beautiful day to you

MJJ Supporter posts a comment. The Mr. A. fans come to his defense. Show us the proof. MJJ Supporter is bashed by the loving, respectful, hold out your hand, unity movement pouring out their opinions in what they believe is true.

Simon Says posts a comment. Bashes Marg, then Simon says "to all be kind." Huh??? Like MJJ Supporter, Simon gives his/her opinion in what he/she believes is true. Show us the proof. If proof was demanded from MJJ Supporter the same is required from Simon as well.

Opinion and fact are two different things as we all know. When reading comments to follow MJ's teachings of love, peace and respect and to spread it around, then reversing your beliefs to bash another person, doesn't make sense to me. It appears hypocritical. To defend Mr. A without Mr. A defending himself is interesting to say the least. MJ certainly defended himself throughout the years.

Bottom line, we all have our opinions whether they are positive or negative is interpreted by the eyes/ears of your personal belief system. To debate an opinion should be based on the subject matter only and not the person.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Whatever stance you take in your belief system make sure you practice what you preach. Don't overly broadcast if you can't support it. My opinion only.

@Lost Soul
Great to see you here. You have beautiful posts. Thank you for them. Lots of love hugs and blessings

Well there is a lot of post that was deleted today so not sure what replys I needed to responds to. Also, a lot of my post was deleted as well. Guess they are making room for more comments to come.
I would like to replyed to those I did get to read today.

@Lois48
ur post for July 5th @11:30
Was greatly said my friend. Thank you for pointing out what is true and that people really should be careful what they may slander about someone else. May end up paying for it later. Love , Hugs, and many Blessings. Letta

@Maria C.
Thank you so much for your comment. I think of you as my sister also. Love, Hugs, Blessings, Letta

@Mary-Jane
Thank you so much for your comment to me. Mr A, is a friend to me and I believe that if someone is a friend and a good friend to you that you should have thier backs. It is so wrong for someone to post something so horrible and slandering against another without knowing them personally is wrong. I will continue to stand strong for him that is what friends do, Love, Hugs, and Blessing, Letta

Hey little buddy...You got that right my friend to the end. Love, Hugs, and Blessings to you Letta

Hello my friend, hope that you enjoyed your 4th July weekend time off from work. I know that you are glad to be back at work now?(LOL) Here, is a little something to start your day.

Let Christ's beauty shine throught me, for all the whole word to see.

All life is precious, and intimately interlinked with our own.

A man or woman is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him/her, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes him/her self helpfully to all life that is in need of help.

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her.
– Francis Bacon

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.

A good word is an easy obligation; but not to speak ill requires only our silence; which costs us nothing.
John Tillotson

@Mr. A
Hello my good friend. Hope that you have a lovely weekend and now rested as well. I truly hope that all is well since I am pretty sure that you are keeping up with the post and has read the good, as well as the bad things said pertaining to you. As, you know my friend that there are many that feelings differently about those slandering comments, and is here for you and will stand by you, hahahahaha I happen to be one of them. So keep your head up and stay strong because we are here for you. I found a quote that I wanted to post to you here it goes.
Called Dealing with people:
A good deed is never lost: he who sows courtesy reaps friendship; and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Do not think that what is hard for thee to master is impossible for a man; but if a thing is possible and proper to man, deem it attainable by thee. (Marcus Aurelius)

Our greatest glory consists in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. (Oliver Goldsmith)

Hope that you like it. When I read it I thought about you. Smiles. Hugs, Love & many Blessings Letta (hope that even though you are not posting that you are still reading the blog.)

It is interesting to notice how some minds seem almost to create themselves, springing up under every disadvantage, and working their solitary but irresistible way through a thousand obstacles.
Washington Irving

The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, became a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong.
Thomas Carlyle

Learn to regard the souls around you as parts of some grand instrument. it is for each of us to know the keys and stops, that may draw forth the harmonies that He sleeping in the silent octaves.

Good morning all I truly hope that WE all have a bless Day.
Love , & Blessings Letta

Truth will always prevail,
It will never ever fail,
Through good and bad,
It will always stand.

A power that is never surpassed ever,
Truth, that anybody let down never,
This is the power that forever lasts,
Truth serves those who serves it most.

The dispenser of truth rules the world,
Even in a world where Satan has hold.

Hello everyone !!! Have a nice day !

LOVE = MICHAEL JACKSON

Marguerite – Thank you for this quote of MJ's.

“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” Michael Jackson quote
----

I had two incidents of rude drivers while out driving on the city roads today, and admittedly there was a bit of rage from me towards them, with me tooting my horn back to let them know I was not too happy with what they were doing. One male gave me the fingers.

Afterwards it just left me feeling what the hell is the world coming to, when people cannot even show common courtesy on the roads. Just seems to be all me, me, me. Get out of my way kind of thing.

Reading this quote of Michael's has lifted my spirits some as I was starting to lose a bit of hope. It helps restores one's faith in humanity and reminds one not to give up on things, even though bad things may happen and discourage you. Never give up hope, to continue to persevere.

Marguerite – Great comments and quotes. Thank you.

@Maria Copelli July 4th, 2010 10:59 am ET

Thank you for your lovely post and hope to see you back on here soon. You are missed. Sending out love to you.

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”
“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” ~ Kahlil Gibran

"Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us" ~ Martin Luther

"Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see" ~ Martin Luther

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances" ~ Mahatma Gandhi

"Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation"
~ MICHAEL JACKSON

Love, Listen, Have Faith, Be a Peacemaker and never lose sight of your Dreams...And Michael's message.

Wishing Everyone a Blessed Day/Evening!
L.O.V.E to all !

@ Lost soul
Hello , I wish you a great day with love, blessings and many smiles. Only your name makes me a little sad, please smile! , Love is around you I hope you can feel it, L.O.V.E 🙂

And this is specially for you
“May your days be many and your troubles be few.
May all God's blessings descend upon you.
May peace be within you may your heart be strong.
May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam.”

letta(beLIEve),and LoveConquersAll,thank you both for sharing the quotes you did this morning,some excellent one's that are oh so true.I always appreciate reading them,Thanks again.(Smiles) to the both of you.

Tatiana,,you are very sweet,your words are so kind to lost soul.I hope your words bring many smiles and that lost soul can feel the love.And know that there are friends here.(Smiles) to you.

I am a powerful, confident child of God.
Taking a moment to measure my level of self-confidence, I ask myself several important questions: How do I carry myself? Do I have good posture? Do I have a positive self-image? Do I communicate clearly to others? Am I able to say "no" when necessary? Am I living authentically? The answers give me a sense of my level of confidence.

I then turn to God in prayer, allowing God's presence to illumine my mind and heart. In the silence, I reconnect with the essence of my being. Newfound energy surges within me, and my heart fills with optimism.

Prayer readies me for any challenge or adventure. I meet the day ahead with ease and grace. My words, actions and manner convey the power of the Christ at work within me.

Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward.–Hebrews 10:35

Dear Mr. A Rhonda LoveConquersAll

I think you are all the same person. Your writing format mirrors each other. This is a sociopathic feature- no regard or concern for other people you fool, manipulate or hurt. You fear no consequences to your phoney l.o.v.e. behavior. You should be ashamed. Mr. Michael Jackson would not be proud to call you fans. You encourage others to believe Mr. Michael Jackson is a liar, a fake and a fraud. That is not a fan, that is sociopath; brainwashing others to sway to your beliefs. You can post all the Michael Jackson quotes, philosopher quotes and even quote the Bible if you so choose. Why don't you start pulling some of your own quotes and feelings in that little bag of wishes you have been hanging on to since 2009 25, June.
Then you blog to yourself as if you are speaking to another person. How sad. I am sorry you are so lonely. What is even more depressing is that you answer your own posts.

Susan
Bless your heart...you think this blog is for Michael Jackson...I think we all know it has not been for MIchael Jackson in a very long time. Sadly this place has become a lost cause...just read and choke down the vomit.
No one here seems to remember what these blogs are for...they just need this place to fill some void in their lives.
Susan, I applaud your efforts to rationalize...I for one hear every word and really appreciate your infinite wisdom!!!!

How about that Janet performance???!!! WOW!!!

Church????? Is this church???

Most people compare Michael to Elvis, however, I see more similarities between Michael and John Lennon. Both had difficult childhoods, both were poets and musical geniuses, both had a strong social conscience and tried to make a difference in the world. Just compare Lennon's "Imagine" to Michael's "Heal The World"- a similar message: to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, both got into the use of drugs and both were killed at the hands of another. Both legends had a tremendous impact on culture and music of the 20th century.

@Brownie

Thank you for your considerate and thoughtful post. If I subscribed to a god, I guess life would be simpler and we could excuse our behaviors and place the responsibility on the higher source “God” However, my position is….. I take full responsibility for my behaviors as I have no such belief system. I do not look for an easy way out …. I am in charge of my decisions and choices in life. I will not blame anyone, not my parents, others or a “God” if I believed in it. This is not a popular view, but it is mine……..

@Letta

You stated: “It is so wrong for someone to post something so horrible and slandering against another without knowing them personally”

And that is exactly what the ‘tasteless tabloid trash’ do on a daily basis. I personally would like to see a limit on what can be published while not violating our first amendment rights.

Scanning the entire spectrum outside of Michael Jackson, I fully believe the majority of American people in this country accommodate and adopt values and beliefs which are created through a method of indoctrination and inculcation, not original thought. Granted, we all must at some level join societal norms like stopping at a red light… however, where does this end? Are we not just sheeple?

Please all of you try not to get to much involved with theories of how Michael died because it will tear you apart. After MJ's death, there were reports of people including fans committing suicide. If you are thinking about suicidal thoughts, ask yourself this question, where will your soul spend eternity? Think positive thoughts to keep the good memories of MJ alive. As the Bible says, "Think on the things that are of good report."

@letta believe, God Bless You!

alice July 6th, 2010 3:56 pm ET
THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!!!!
OMG!!! A post about Michael Jackson!
And I agree...very thought provoking!!!

Michael suffered from years of media abuse...give it a rest that anything a blogger was subjected to even comes close!!
Get real....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

@Sybil-Sally
Hello there. I'm sorry but you're mistaken. My friends are each under their own names. Also, I've never seen them try to sway people to their beliefs. How would you know who Michael would be proud of? He loves all of his fans. I think Michael would be very proud to call my wonderful friends fans. They're beautiful souls.

@ Sybil-Sally

Not sure if I want to even dignify your post with an answer but I will. For your information, I just recently started blogging here and I am NOT trying to "sway" anyone to any beliefs. Just sharing thoughts and and love because that's truly what it is all about. My comments are made here whether you wish to read them or not. If not, then let it be. By the way, I can only speak for myself.

As far as Rhonda and Mr. A are concerned, they have shown nothing but kindness towards me and everyone on this blog. Why do you waste your time "judging others" when you should look at yourself first.

I am only one person who only posts when I can find the time since I do care for my elderly mother. JUDGE that, for yourself. Thank you.

L.O.V.E to all!!!!

Unbelievable! – people who profess to keep it to blogging about Michael have got to look in their own mirror because they are certainly not doing what they are preaching, making snide remarks about others on the blogs and then to insinuate Rhonda is Mr. A and LoveConquersAll is got to be the stupidest, most ridiculous post I have ever read to date. This sybil person obviously has a split or several personalities herself to even think such a thing. I feel bad because I believe this person really has mental problems and needs to seek help from a professional.

Some individuals on the LKL blog take things just a little too literal and use this forum to intimidate and bully without facing consequences. Maybe because they are showing their real colours, low self-esteem and other negative factors that have affected their lives. Why do you even care what other's post if you don't believe it?

I think people need to rethink why they are really here. Are you here just to bully and post stupid comments to people who are obviously very caring and forthright real people. This is not a child's playground, so either grow up or move on to a blog that is more suitable for your age because you certainly don't act like adults.

His smiling way and pleasant face
Are such a pleasure to recall,
He had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him,
Some day, we know not when,
To clasp his hand in the better land,
Never to part again.

If you need me, call and I will come,
Though you cannot see or touch me,
I will be near and if you listen with your heart,
You will hear all my love around you soft and clear.

It's all for L O V E.............

alice,your post July 6,2010 at 3:56 pm.I have to say I agree with some of your post,yes Michael and John Lennon did have similiarites.Both poets,and musical geniuses. both for world peace and to make the world a better place..thank you for sharing that thought on Michael with us I have thought that myself for several years,am happy to know someone has the same view as myself.(Smiles) to you.

@ Carie

You have mentioned your husband is working in cleaning up the gulf oil leak. I was wondering if you could provide me with any information pertaining to volunteering. Time is of the essence and all the life in that biosphere is dying a horrific death. I am on several volunteer lists; WWF and NWF to gather and clean up the animals. Neither are taking volunteers at this moment in time and the conditions are becoming worse. I just do not want to fly there and sit in a hotel or I would leave today. The area involving clean-up seems to be closed off to the public. I would be willing to post my email addy; however, I do not think CNN would allow for that. I have already exhausted all my sources.

The Oil leak is a tragedy, but not allowing 100,000 American volunteers to actively partake in clean-up efforts is a catastrophe!!! Anything you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks
Oh yes, Michael was a humanitarian and I believe he would be horrified at this situation too….. Thanks

@
Simon Says proof is on the blog...just read it....

As far as being Mr. A fans....we are not his fans, we are his friends, there is a difference....I am not bashing anyone.....And MJJSupporter didnt state just an opinion, it was an outright accusation...there is a difference....As far as me being Mr. A or LoveConquersAll, thank you so much for the compliment.....Two of the most kindest souls on the blog and I get to be compared to them.....Wow, I am honored......But, the last time I checked, I was a female.....have been for quite some years now....so unless I went into a coma and had some kind of operation, I am still a woman and I am all woman thank you.....I am sure Michael can see who his fans or, because the LOVE as you so call it, is exactly what Michael was about. Love for the planet, the children and every person that has ever suffered....so yes I am sure he is proud......And I am well aware of the abuse that Michael took for all those years.....But it doesn't matter if it is years, months, weeks, or just days.....NO ONE deserves to be slandered period.....SO PLEASE to you.......I know that Michael stood up for himself....He always held his head high....Mr. A has also stood up for himself and look at where it has gotten him.....He is still being slandered......Michael was abused more than any star ever could have been and it was very wrong then and it is very wrong now....For him and for anyone else period....

Rock With You Horsegirl: Part of your comment below:

"Please all of you try not to get to much involved with theories of how Michael died because it will tear you apart".
*************************
Personally, I am torn apart because Michael died. I'm not torn apart in how he died. I want justice to be served to the individual(s) that caused this unnecessary death. When the trial begins the truth of how he died will be unveiled and hopefully the powers of justice will prevail as written. CM was grossly negligent confirmed by the medical professionals and the Calif. Medical Board.

@Maura:

Hi Maura, I'm doing well and it's nice to hear from you. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on here on the blog. All of a sudden it seems like some people think that a few of the posters are the same person. Well, that would be a really good joke on all of us if that were true! I have my own personal theories about things on the blog, but they're just my own observations. The only thing that I do believe for absolutely sure is that Michael is still alive. Regardless of who posts on the blog or who they really are.

I hope you are enjoying the summer!

Love and Hugs,

Beverly

@
And since I am being accused of being other people that I am not...can you please include LostSoul, Letta, ibelieve, Maura, Simon Says, This Is It, and a few others that have kind souls and post wonderful post. If I only could really ever post like them....I would be happy

@LoveConquersAll
Hold on to my hand tight my friend it is fixing to be a wild ride....

@Mr. A
Please smile, no frowning and certainly no pacing back and forth....Grab a nice glass of fresh juice and just take a deep breath...Even though you are not here posting.....be sure that you are still here with us and we are here with you.....

Much Love

@Alice, great, perceptive post. I agree with every word you said, and I dislike comparing Michael to Elvis. Comparing him to John Lennon is much more to the point .... should I add "imo" lol.... no, I think this is not an opinion, it's a fact. And as Carie said, THANK You for a post ABOUT Michael Jackson!

Lois, I cannot believe your 5:52 post made it on this blog!!! The undertone is the most abusive I have seen so far on this blog. Perhaps it's time to look in that mirror (?)

Susan62509- Thank you!!!! It is nice to see someone saying enough is enough. Again thank you.

Jessie from Auckland NZ- Thank you and you are very welcome!!! So sorry to hear you had a bad day. It made my day to read the quote I posted lifted your spirits. I hope you are feeling better now.

Lois48-- There are new posters who who sound like older posters here. Let's face it there are not any posters posting for a long time then all of a sudden new posters are posting an they mainly talk to certain people. Lois I have posted to one of them LoveConquersAll and was ignored and I was being nice. Another thing new posters do not take sides because they are new which is something to think on and consider. This is just my opinion.

Carie, hello my love. I don't know about that Janet performance. I haven't seen it. To be honest, I'm not what you might call a "Janet fan". Never been. I don't think I can name a song by Janet (except, perhaps Scream ... LOL). As I said before, I am a "Jackson One" kinda person... and although I felt a lot of sympathy for the little sis when Michael died, I was rather disgusted when she spoke about his death publicly for the first time on the day her new album was launched ... anyways, what about that performance? I had seen performances by Janet in the past and found them too ... racy (?) for my taste.... give me Michael over Janet any day ... I don't know if you're a fan of Janet. If you are, sorry! 🙂

Hi Babycarie:
I didn't see Janet at the Essence Music Festival. I'll try to locate a video so I can comment back to you.

Carie, am I an unfit mother, have a police record, been in a psycho ward, a famous lawyer, anchor the west coast Red Cross, 25 years old or stripper? lol No one knows, because all I do is type words in a blog room. You know the point I'm trying to make because of your wisdom. Any blogger from the categories that I have listed can be the background of any person on a blog. I can form my opinion on words written, but I certainly do not know the real true background of anyone writing on a blog. It's safer to be on defense and let the buyer beware.

A prime example of the point I'm trying to make is earlier this year when two bloggers (one which still blogs everyday and the other left a month ago) wishing death upon you and your unborn child. Your husband was so upset. I'll never forget that time period as it proves the LOVE conveyed on this blog is not always what is represented in their soul.

Take care gurl. We'll talk soon.

@ Marguerite

I am so sorry that you feel that I have ignored you. I did reply to you at least once where I mentioned that I enjoyed your post. I also included you on July 4th, 2010 2:45 pm ET wishing you a Happy 4th of July. I would never ignore anyone. I just want to reach out as a friend.
Much Love to you!

@ Maura

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am feeling really discouraged but not to the point where I am ready to leave. I do enjoy posting on this blog and I have made such nice friends. Love to you!

@ Lois 48

Thank you for standing by me. My intentions are all good, believe me.
You are so kind and your words really mean a lot to me.
Much Love to you!

@ Rhonda

I am holding on to your hand as tight as I can...Many thanks, my friend.

By the way, I am a female and I started posting here on June 25, 2009. That day I felt compelled to join the blog after being someone who would visit and just read all of the posts for the past year. I just wanted to join in and spread love and goodness like everyone else. I am no better and certainly no greater, than anyone else. We all share a common bond and that is, OUR LOVE FOR MICHAEL. That's all.

Thank you everyone...L.O.V.E and Peace to all !

SUZIE Q!!!
OMG!! 'Racy' is a huge understatement!! Janet really went way too far with this one, IMO!!! 🙂
It was about as raunchy as it gets!! A lot of S&M that is almost x-rated!! I am a One Jackson woman too!!! I am not a fan of Janet and agree about her using Michael's death to pimp her CD, much like she did with that new Tyler Perry movie...ugh!! Her performance is beyond words!
I saw that lois post...please!! And the love is what, selective??? The peace is what, intermittent?? The finger pointing is a spasm??? Seriously!!!!
Love you my Suzie Q!!

Susan!!!
Oh, you are so in tune with all that goes on here! I ignore and bypass most so I am sometimes oblivious...maybe that's why I can stomach coming back!!! I remember getting upset a couple times about stuff on these blogs but realize it is silly to get upset about that nonsense because the human condition does not change but gets even more hateful in the evil of the virtual world!! Cuz this is THIRILLER!!! 🙂

@ Everyone

Sorry I meant "I started posting on June 25, 2010 – NOT 2009.

Dear Maura-
Thank you for inquiring within. I have observed this blog for months. I take mental notes and lots of them. You are a nice person, I appreciate your commentary on this matter.

Dear Lois- Lois- I know you are a believer, that is my understanding as to what people who believe Mr. Michael Jackson is still alive referrs to themselves. You sound like you have much anger inside of you. That is a shame. You should really let go of that. Maybe a long walk on the beach or a nice match in tennis. I do not have split personalities; Rhonda/Mr.A/and others have them. I observe very carefully and have caught these aforementioned bloggers making ciritical errors in their blog timing, and few have caught it. From what I recall reading the blogs much earlier after Michael died you work in the field of law, correct? I'm surprised that these kind of mistakes slipped right past you. Thank God you are not a detective. lol. Lois, you should really get over this idea of people having to provide proof that Michael died. I suppose your law firm loses cases by the handfuls because clearly you require something more than proof, you require the body. I hope you are not in criminal law, something like home foreclosure or tax evasion or something of that nature I gather would suit you better. Good luck in all your endevors. But blogging isn't one of them.

Dear Rhonda-
Yes it is a wild ride. You will only need one seatbelt though.

LoveConquersAll - I'm tryin to cause trouble or problems. I just stated the facts. I posted to you when you first started posting and who knows if the posts are still on the blogs now or not.lol When you ignored my posts and posted only to certain posters. I just sat back and watched what was going on and happening. Over the last 4 months I have been attacked and bashed by the very people you say are nice and call friends. Two days ago a truce was called between us and now they are backing up simon says for what this person posted. By the way just a bit of info Simon Says post was deleted 24 hours ago and these friends of yours are talking about the post as if they just read it as well as being still on the blog which it is not. You think they would take the hint from the mods deleting it.......hmmmm

Marguerite, hope you had a wonderful day,sending many smiles your way.

Sybil-Sally
Sybil-Silly
Look around you
It ain't pretty
Change your name
I know your game
Point the blame
When its your real shame.
Attacking others is all you do
Why can't love be good enough for you
Mr. A is a man I can see
Not a woman as you claim to be
LCA is not the same
Rhonda uses just her name
Quit trying to shift the blame
Your name is fitting
The games you play sickening

Rhonda don't fret
Don't worry yourself
I do know its the real you
Take care Mama Bird
Much love to you.

LoverConquersAll- That first sentence is suppose to read I'm not trying to cause trouble and problems.

Wait...what are you all doing? Why the finger pointing, the name calling, the silly accusations? This is not adult behavior, this is adolescent behavior. This is not Love...it's hate and it is wrong.I had hoped that eventually all this would blow over and that would be the end of it, it's all nonsense really. I didn't want to feed the fire, add to the negative atmosphere of the blog right now. Let me set the record straight once and for all. This is really getting out of hand, out of control. I could really care less what you say or think of me but please don't bring innocents into this. It is evil, it is cruel, it is wrong. I am floored...speechless...

I would like to kindly thank all who came to my defense...thank you, all of you from the bottom of my heart. I am forever grateful to all of you. I think of all of you daily. I miss all of you. You are all good, decent people and wonderful friends. What can I say? Thank you for everything...for the love, the friendship, and the support. You know me, you know my heart and that is beautiful. I can truly say that I love all of you.

Carie, you are very correct when you say this is a "Michael Jackson" blog, yes it is. Thank you for saying this. This is not a blog about ME, my personal life ,or what I do or don't do in my free time. It has always been about Michael, I have stood by that reality from the very beginning. I would hope and pray that you all continue to do the same.

@My accusers

I have been accused of being a woman, a terrible name that I will not repeat, michaellove and an imposter all in a matter of days. Now I'm Rhonda and L.C.A. as well? Forgive me but those are some of the most ridiculous and absurd claims I've heard in quite awhile....and believe me I've heard some pretty strange things in my day. Where is all of this coming from? Please don't point fingers or accuse others unless you have concrete proof/evidence and or are 100% sure that the information you're sharing is absolutely, completely, without a doubt accurate. It is not nice to falsely accuse others, it isn't nice to make premature assesments or judgments of others...it is never good or wise to defame someone's character...in both a legal and moral sense. I have only tried to bring love, peace and unity here. I have always treated everyone with the uptmost respect. I have never been inapropriate or provacative in anyway. I am most certainly not any of those things that have been said about me...I have NEVER...not once stated,claimed or insinuated that I'm Michael Jackson...because I AM NOT. IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?

I am not a woman. So, because I genuinely love and care for all and become overly emotional at times, I'm a woman now? So you think Michael is 'feminine' too then? That is quite silly, and quite disturbing that someone would come up with such an idiotic assesment. Is your hunch also telling you that I'm an alien too? I am not michaellove...we are not one in the same. I won't even bother addressing those horrible, horrible lies about me. I have children of my own, I am not a predator, a monster....some sick soul. I love children but not in the twisted way some are trying to portray here.

@Susan62509

"My fans"? NO, they are not my fans, they are my friends, friends whom I hold very close to my heart, friends whom I love dearly...saying fans is incredibly creepy and it makes me feel quite uncomfortable. I would like and appreciate it if you were to never say that again. Thank you...

@Sybil-Sally

Pardon? Rhonda, L.C.A. and I are all the same being? You are clearly mistaken. Forgive me but that is just some crazy and bizarre thinking. I know them both quite well and they are wonderful people, beautiful people who I call my friends. Two divine women, two kind and sweet natured beings. I love them dearly and I love you too even if you do think I'm a 'sociopath'. I am not encouraging anyone to feel or believe anything. We're all adults. We all have the capability to think,process, and rationalize. We know fact from fiction, illusion and reality. We know that Michael did not die, that he is not dead. I'm sorry if that upsets you. I seldom ever talk about the events of June 25th and so on. So where is this coming from anyway?

Final words...please be kind to one another. The unkind and hurtful words are so uneccesary and uncalled for.

Sending all the love I could possibly send to all of you and more. I wish you all the best, all the goodness that life has to offer. Bless you all!

Goodnight

@Sybil – it is nice you can make an assessment of me and not even know me.....that says alot about how you judge people. Personally, I don't care what you think or your opinion of me. I am not here to catch critical errors in someone's blogging, I don't waste my time determining if someone is someone else. Not my bag, maybe yours, because it is all child's play, so go play your games somewhere else. Also, you can peg me as a believer but I don't because I don't categorize people as to what they believe or don't.

Maybe you should start heeding Michael's message instead of critizing people you don't even know. Isn't that what we are here for?

Marguerite- 🙂

Stay Strong and Positive. Celebrate the Message!!!!!

@ Marguerite

I understand how you feel and I really do enjoy reading your posts and would like to be friends.

What I don't understand is why this is happening on this blog? Honestly I was feeling so overjoyed when I first began posting on 6/25/2010 when I was getting positive responses. I was also enjoying your posts and everyone else's.

I am truly sorry for you not seeing my replies. I noticed that one of my posts actually disappeared and it was something I had written directly to a new blogger on here, "Lost Soul". I never knew what happened to the original post I sent?

I just wish everyone would get along. After all, we can all bring something enlightening to this blog besides picking on each other and what are respective posts are about. Even if we quote the Bible, or quotes by famous people, we are just contributing love and kindness.

If we can't get along on a simple blog, I don't even want to think about what is going to happen in the world as a whole.

I sincerely hope that I have not offended you, Marguerite or anyone else for that matter. THAT was NEVER my purpose here.

Love to you, Marguerite, and all !!!!!

I do not have split personalities. If there was a way for me to post a picture of me on here I would....I am a female.....I have always be a female....I will remain a female......I am not now, nor have I ever been a male....I only have three names I have ever posted under so if you have read these blogs like you say then you would know this...I will give you a hint
Rhonda/mjbeliever/mamabird, which is a nick name I received here on the blog. So you can believe whatever it is that you want to believe it really doesn't matter to me....And no I will need more than one seatbelt....There is many that seems to be taking the ride with me....Which I enjoy tremendously.....The more the merrier.......I have been coming to the blog ever since June of 09 and I am the same now as I was then......So talk on.......And as far as bashing or attacking anyone, I do not do that....I will however defend myself and my friends to the end.......

No worries my friend
I am not fretting
I am not worried, because everyone that has ever blogged with me from the start knows my heart and my soul and that is all that matters to me. All My Love To You Simon and come visit me soon...

@LoveConquersAll
Just keep holding on my friend
It gets worse...

Much Love

Instead of picking on other bloggers because of what they post, why can't the people who find fault focus all of that energy on bringing something of themselves to the blog that has to do with Peace, Kindness and Love. It takes more energy to hurt someone than it is to show LOVE. If people want to waste their time hijacking names, pretending to be someone else, then let that be on their conscience.

I don't believe I have ever put anyone down on this blog and if I have unknowingly, I do apologize. Without sounding selfish, I have just put a lot of thought in what I post so that I can hopefully bring positive feedback, not negative. If my posts are received in a negative way, that was not my true intention.

All I can do is try and ignore the negativity and gain strength from the positive. I really wish that we could bring LOVE back to this blog because we should be all one big family...Hopefully a happy one at that!

"It's all for Love...L.O.V.E"

Goodnight and Many Blessings to all!

Hello, nice to see you here again Simon. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for always observing and trying to tell people what is really going on. Lots of love hugs and blessings

Dear Rhonda-

I never doubted your were a female. I'm not saying you were a male, female, a hermaphodite, bi, tri or asexual. Please review the following writing styles-

It is not nice to falsely accuse others, it isn't nice to make premature assesments or judgments of others...it is never good or wise to defame someone's character...in both a legal and moral sense. I have only tried to bring love, peace and unity here. I have always treated everyone with the uptmost respect. I have never been inapropriate or provacative in anyway

Notice the writting patterns? the dot dot dot dot dot gives it away. I don't think it is a coincidence. It's really easy to blog on 2 computers and hit the submit button within a few moments of each other. It's too obvious the both of you post very close together and the context of your statements and opinions are all too similar. Just an observation.

Oh and Rhonda just because you post a picture of yourself doesn't mean you can't post under different names. That sounds like a Murray defense.

Dear Lois-
I am not interested in assessing any dimension of your life, just pointing out the statements that you previously made. I don't have any bags, not even under my eyes so you will not live in my head rent-free. You can categorize, label or call yourself whatever you feel comfortable with, the fact remains that you believe Mr. Michael Jackson is a crook and fraud that manipulated the world. In terms of heeding Michael's message, I am not supporting any fraduelent or criminal message you associate with Michael- to lie to the world and endorse criminal behavior on behalf of Conrad Murray and Mr. Michael Jackson. I don't play games- that is a washed out statement that is overused and inappropriate. Besides- I would win anyway.

@ Mr.A

Wonderfully articulated my dear friend...May Joy And Love be with you always and the beauty of your soul remain unwavering.

Your Kindness and Compassion is exemplary, have pride in your grace.

Love to you.
(((( OUR World ))))
