So the FBI found nothing on Michael Jackson
re abusing children for all those years. So then who was out to destroy MJ? Was it that corporation that wanted the Beatles collection?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! This is very interesting news.

1. I've been looking at that story as well.
I think his behavior led him to being vulnerable to people who wanted to do a money grab.

Notice, I didn't say he was guilty. Just not wise in who he let into his life.

It's all so tragic, no matter how you look at it.

than just being a garden variety pedophile. I always thought he was trying to re create the childhood he was robbed of by surrounding himself with other people's kids instead of his brothers and sisters.

Unfortunately, that opened him up to a lot of fast buck artists and their sleazy lawyers.

12. That's how I saw it too; unfortunately, he didn't get good advice from
his advisors about how to conduct such matters. That left him vulnerable.

13. 100% correct
The fast buck artists included several of M$Greedia's stations who enjoyed the ratings while attempting to destroy him.

4. Who in Michael's inner circle since he was about 10 wasn't trying to destroy him and get
money out of him? That's the real question. I don't think he seriously had more than a couple of people at most that he could trust. Everyone else has dollar signs in their eyes.

7. Didn't Michael Jackson die recently?
I keep hoping the bullshit surrounding him (hate AND worship) would have passed with him.

and he is not even a celebrity. What was he thinking? Who cares if he's got wrinkles and is old?

15. Considering Micheal was a backstabbing double dealing businessman
who virtually stole the beatles cataloger from mccartney with absolutely no remorse about betraying a friend, and one who resuscitated his career when he needed it, I wouldn't doubt Micheal had enemies. he wasn't all the sweetness and light some would like to believe.

17. How do you know he is a backstabber?
What prevented Paul McCartney from buying that catalog? Did he not have enough money? I will listen to your rants when you give to charities as much as MJ, which is millions of dollars.

21. I am not going to get into this but MJ outbid mccartney on his own work behind his back. He came
in as a blind bider AFTER Macca told him it was up for auction and he planned to buy back his own work. It was too late to get another bid in. it was a rotten thing to do, and the best investment MJ ever made.
And MJ really needed the tax deductions he got from those charities and still didn't bother to pay his taxes. All that glitters isn't gold. he may not have been horrible, but he wasn't an angel and my point is , folks had a reason to want vengeance. I didn't say I agreed they should get it. I admire MJ as an artist and didn't think he was a pedophile.I have defended him on that score many times.

18. Right....."virtually stole"......That means McCartney taught Michael to buy publishing rights from
under the noses of the artists, and Michael did that to McCartney just like McCartney did that to thousands of other artists who couldn't compete with his $$$$.

19. It doesn't matter to the Peter King's out there. DU is no exception.
In their ignorant minds, MJ will always be a child molestor to them. I scratch them off as a child molestor themselves. I have no proof but what the hell?

29. Blacks do seem to be more viciously attacked in the media
Jackson, Janet Jackson, Tiger, etc... on and on it goes. And it's every fucking day for weeks on end. Why not go after the Scaifes... or some other billionaire who screws us daily, you know, people who really effect our everyday lives now there's a story you don't even need to sensationalize to get ratings.

31. so true... and it makes me sick to my stomach
well, I don't hate the man, but I do disagree with his actions so far. But I know those on the right just simply hate him for his color, that much is plain to see.

33. There is hearsay behind the stage, so to speak, about the Beatles'
Edited on Wed Dec-23-09 09:26 PM by saltpoint
library.

More accurately, I should say the money that the Beatles' catalog represents, very likely an extremely high sum.

I have exactly zero evidence of a connection but the FBI would have happily done Jackson in on abuse allegations if they had a shred of evidence, and lacking same, the question remains about the money.

Agree with you, malaise. Recommended.
