Michael Jackson: Lies and Liars

I listened to an impassioned plea from Jermaine Jackson yesterday. He was begging people to "Leave Michael alone". Really? If the media and all of us "leave Michael alone" then will Jermaine have any shot at all at a career come back? Will Jermaine and his brothers sell any concert tickets if no one is talking about his brother, Michael?

Of course, with a "death Investigation" in progress by the Los Angeles Police and Coroner's Office there is absolutely no chance that the story of Michael Jackson's death will be stopping anytime soon. Does Jermaine really believe that people will stop talking about Michael? Does he really want them too?

Is there nothing that family won't do to continue seeking attention and publicity for themselves? I doubt it. Michael will always be their golden ticket to the money train that they hope to jump on and ride for all it's worth.

If Michael had lived they would have ridden his coattails to London and attempted to cash in on the success of his tour. His father would be pushing his record label and the boys would be doing their very best to get up on that stage to perform with Michael.

Nevermind that no one wants to see the Jackson four without Michael Jackson. No one ever did. Even though they started out as a group they certainly were over-shadowed by their brother's talent.

Miko Brando and Jermaine Jackson steadfastly deny that Michael was abusing drugs in any way yet, they claim to have been the closest to him for the longest time. Jermaine claims over and over again that he is "Michael's voice and backbone", but he never saw any drug abuse or odd behavior? Miko was always there, putting out the flames when Michael got burned, spending countless hours both at Neverland and on tour with Michael yet he never witnessed any odd behavior or drug abuse?

The lies and the liars continue to push their way onto any talk show or sound bite that they can find to claim their unique closeness to Michael Jackson and they continue to lie about what they knew and saw. They have zero credibility in my opinion and I for one, am tired of listening to them spout their nonsense.

Jermaine proclaimed that he would have changed places with Michael in the end....he wished that he had died instead of Michael. He claimed that it was he who wanted Michael buried at Neverland, a place that Michael left for good after his molestation trial stating that it was no longer a place he wished to live in...it had become just a house that had been tainted by the police raids, etc. Jermaine Jackson insisted that Neverland was Michael's "dream" and that he created it. He even went so far as to state that he "felt Michael's spirit" on the grounds of Neverland.

It has become obvious to me that Jermaine didn't know his brother at all and that he has no intention of honoring his brother's wishes. He wants what will make money for the family ( mainly his share of Katherine's 40% of the estate's value). If that means dishonoring his brother's wishes than so be it.

Even though Jermaine praised Michael's Will and it's contents I am sure that he will soon change his tune as his mother is trying to have parts of the Will changed and herself substituted as Administrator of the estate. Jermaine and his brothers and their father have so much more to gain if Katherine is in control rather than professionals who know how to manage an estate and distribute the wealth according to what Michael wanted.

The Jackson's don't care what Michael wanted....they want money. They can't acquire it by exhibiting any talent so they will try to get it from the brother that they used for so many years.

The lies continue and the liars are frantically looking for anyone who will listen to them.

All aboard the gravy train, long may it ride.
