Michael Jackson: Fated to Die

If Joe Jackson had been permanently confined to a mental institution 45 years ago would Michael Jackson be alive today? Probably....

After watching Joe's recent interview with Larry King I concluded that the man is a raging nutcase who was, is and always has been a greedy SOB hellbent on exploiting anyone in his path.

I was no fan of MJ's although I admired his talent. Mostly, I listened to his music and watched his performances through the eyes of my children who were teens when MJ was at the height of his popularity.

Watching MJ's family members and associates attempting to grab the spotlight and cash in on his name and fame since his death has brought me to the conclusion that he was surrounded by blood suckers.

The doctors who provided him with drugs and illegal substances (such as Deprivan), and the rest of the enablers around MJ are only partly responsible for Michael's early death at the age of 50. Michael himself was also responsible for his sad fate. He began his long journey to oblivion many years ago when he suffered horrendous pain as a result of getting burned during the now infamous Pepsi commercial; but, there were many opportunities for Michael to seek treatment for his addiction to pain meds and other dangerous substances. His emotional pain far out-weighed his physical pain and he was incapable of giving up his habit. That pain began long ago and continued to the day he died. For that, I hold his parents responsible.

He had every reason to live and three children to take care of yet he continued to punish his body and mind with many drugs that could have and probably did kill him. In my opinion, Michael Jackson had a death wish.

Michael claimed to have been abused both physically and mentally by his father and although he claimed that his mother was the only person he could really trust and count on, she did nothing to stop Joe from harming Michael. It is apparent that Katherine Jackson is still under Joe's thumb even though they claim to live separate lives.

It has been reported that Joe is planning a series of concerts with the four remaining members of the Jackson Five. They will use new material written by Michael but never released. Somehow, Michael will appear in some strange form to sing and dance along with his brothers.

Just how will Joe get into the so-called "Vault" that contains this unreleased material? He certainly won't get his greedy hands on it if the Will that Michael wrote and signed in 2002 stands as it was intended and the current Executors remain in charge of his family trust. The answer is for Katherine to "Ask the Court for Guidance" on how to contest and remove those Executors so that she can control the estate and all it entails. That's one way for Joe to get to the unused material.

The children that Michael left behind are in the precarious position of being cared for by an old, weak woman who bends to the will of a vicious and greedy man and her equally greedy sons who see dollar signs while dancing around the unburied body of Michael. The Court must appoint a Guardian Ad Litem in order to protect the interests of those children or they will be totally exploited.

What are the current options for those children? A biological mother who is more interested in money than them, and grandparents who are unwilling to give up on the fame and money that Michael brought into their lives. They might as well be tossed into the street to fend for themselves. Can you imagine Joe's dream of turning them into The Jackson Three sending them into a downward spiral where they end up exactly like their father did.

Surely, no matter where Michael's body is, he is spinning in his coffin as the father he despised and feared attempts to take control of the children he loved and tried so hard to shield. Didn't Michael realize how weak his mother was and how she still bows to the wishes of Joe Jackson while she pretends to be making all decisions concerning the children on her own?

Watching Joe Jackson abuse her sons and doing nothing to stop it, begging Michael to rejoin his brothers on their Victory Tour for the sake of the family and the money that they could all make was the final nail in the coffin of Michael Jackson. The Pepsi commercial where he suffered those horrendous burns were all part of the deal that Katherine brokered with Michael by guilting him into coming back on board and securing that his brothers and father would make the money that they could no longer command based on their own talents. They were mediocre at best; the Pips without Gladys Knight. It was Michael who was the genius and only Michael could secure their future.

By the time that Michael broke away from this pack of wolves for good it was too late. He was emotionally and physically damaged beyond repair and it lead to June 25th and the day he stopped breathing.

That was the day that Michael was finally free from pain.

Joe, "the power/money hungry devil", didn't help MJ in life, however, I think after years in the business MJ could have made a choice to have a better life. There have been many people, including celebrities who have acended from such dire curcumstances to lead a fulfilled life. MJ chose his own destiny and once drugs and scrupulous friends and doctors gained control it was too late.
MJ chose his own bed and he died because of it.

I couldn't agree more, Dieter. My next blog will contain more about Michael's responsibility in all of this and about his super greedy family.

Joe Jackson was and is an evil man who kept having kids so he could exploit them and turn them into money-making commodities in order for him to live the high life. He is scum on a peep show floor.
