Michael Jackson

I've been a Michael Jackson fan since I was a little girl. When I was nine I asked for a DVD of his best music videos for Christmas. My grandma bought it for me, and I  can't tell you how many times I've watched it. Anyway I'm not really here to talk about his music, really more to say where I stand on the charges that he is a sex offender. Obviously I don't believe that he is.  I honestly don't understand how God would give an evil person so much talent. Even if you're not a religious person, just ponder this a bit. I know the world isn't a fair place, but it has to be against the laws of nature for evil person to be amazingly talented.

If you search Michael Jackson on Wikipedia the first sentence is "Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and philanthropist." Read that again it says PHILANTHROPIST. If you don't know what a philanthropist is Merriam Webster's dictionary defines it as : "one who practices goodwill to fellowmen; especially : active effort to promote human welfare" That to me doesn't sound like a child molester. Still not convinced? Read on.

In 1993 a thirteen year old boy, Jordan Chandler, and his father accused Michael Jackson of sexual abuse. This seemed immediately suspicious to me after I watched a video of Michael Jackson, and Jordon Chandler along with a few other children who were visiting Neverland. Jordan was telling a story about how he had a bad dream and went into Michael's room in the middle of the night and asked to sleep on the floor. Michael said that he could sleep in the bed, and that Michael would sleep in the chair. That is what Jordan said what happened. Someone watching this video later, thought it was a possibility that sexual activities had gone on, and asked Jordan Chandler's family if it had happened. A few weeks later Jordan accused Michael of sexual abuse.

So basically the Chandler family didn't even think about sexual abuse until someone planted the idea in their heads. Jordan had earlier said how great and nice Michael was. Something seems fishy.

Jordan's father was recorded saying "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over" Double fishy. It seemed that Dr.Chandler only wanted money.

His mother insists that Jackson did nothing wrong. Even Jordan's own mother doesn't believe him.

Now it seem that after Michael Jackson's death, Jordan has come forward and said that he cooked the whole thing up, pressured by his dad to do so for money. He says he is sorry for ruining Michael's life. Now do I know if this is another scheme to get attention. Nope. But like I said, I refuse to believe that someone with that much talent would be an evil person.

The second time that Michael was accused of sexual molestation, once again it was not the families or the children who first had the ideas of sexual abuse, but an outsider watching a video. In the documentary "Living with Michael Jackson"  which was purposefully edited to make Michael look bad. Some people will do anything, ruin anyone's life, just for a little money.

The way you make me feel <-- this is one of my all time favorite songs of his. Michael Jackson is one of those people, that when you listen to their music you just want to do something with your life, or make the world a better place. Whenever I listen to this song I feel elated. Some one who can evoke such positive emotion in people wouldn't do such evil acts.

This is kind of bad quality but it's a good interview to watch:

One of the reasons I think Michael Jackson was so easy to prey on is that he is very eccentric, and seems almost naive. His voice is so pure he sounds like a child, and he centers his entire life around religion and his various causes. He's the kind of person who should be celebrated, not rumored about, or have jokes made about.
