A 45 year old Chicagoan's observations and commentary on top news, pop culture and an accounting of the Obama Regime and their 'statist' power grab from my unabashed, right leaning/conservative point of view..

Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',
George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed
These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
A white guy (Jackson Dermatologist) who didn't have sex with a white woman (Rowe) produced white children for a black man (Jackson) that wishes he was a white woman.
Ah, Hollywood and the entertainment industry
Maybe I should have given it more thought when Lindsay Lohan told me who to vote for.
That says it all
When human beings start playing God and ordering children to fulfill empty dreams and specially made to order designer children this is the mess that can be created and left behind in the event of a tragedy like this.
Can you imagine now being one of these children and finding out not only was Jackson not their father they technically have no parents at all and are really nothing more than a petri dish baby on order for some whacked out Hollywood Music industry giant who wanted a couple playthings to pal around with, that's about all this really comes down to.
This is why human beings cannot and should not be put in the position of playing God with human life, children are not toys, they're human beings and today or when the day comes when these children find out what we now know, the last thing they will feel like will be loved children, instead they will feel like what they were to Jackson, playthings and objects.
How the frick would you feel?
I know how I would feel, and inhuman might be the best explanation. How sad.
How sick can this all get? This is stuff of Josef Mengele's and Hitler dreamed of in WWII, except today liberals think they can do it better than God and or Hitler could engineer human beings.
Like the now famous Twin Town of Boys and Girls of Brazil, to start manufacturing children for reasons other than love can lead to all kinds of strange and nefarious things like this situation with Michael Jackson.
Killing 50 million babies and then turning around and creating parent-less children in laboratories at will for the rich and famous freaks and geeks amongst us... does anyone else see anything sick and demented about this besides me I'm sure.?
"We've learned Michael Jackson was not the biological father of any of his children. And Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the two kids she bore for Michael. All three children were conceived in vitro -- outside the womb.
Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie's eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.
In the case of Prince Michael II (the youngest), we're told the surrogate was never told of the identity of the 'receiving parent' -- Michael Jackson. Three days after Prince was born at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego County, Jackson's lawyer came to the hospital to pick the baby up and deliver him to Michael.
We do not know if Jackson chose the sperm or egg donors or if he even knew who they were.
Although Rowe is not the biological mother, it's not a slam dunk that she would lose a custody battle. This type of case has never been litigated in California courts. Since Rowe was married to Jackson when Michael Jr. and Paris were born, there's a presumption that she's the biological parent. That presumption can be rebutted by other evidence.
We know there are documents outlining the whole arrangement for the birth of all three kids."
Her sad death, while anticipated was obviously still painful for her many, many fans and her family, which of coarse has been entirely overshadowed by the continuing Michael Jackson circus from the very morning her passing occurred, right through her private and dignified funeral and burial that took place yesterday in Hollywood
.
The media also found it appropriate to focus on the fact that Farrah's screw up of a son was uncaged by the LAPD for the day so he could say goodbye to the mother he loved so much he spent her final 6 months on earth locked up in prison for drug charges incurred while she was still alive and recovering from her many treatments attempting to stay alive while he was indulging in drug abuse. What a guy.
I'm here for the beer man....
The media should have completely ignored his presence as her friends and others cared more about her than that slug did.
CNN.com: "LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Friends and family of actress Farrah Fawcett -- including longtime partner Ryan O'Neal and their son Redmond, who was temporarily freed from jail for the service -- gathered Tuesday to say goodbye.

Here's Big Al Gettin his freak on in video
Now on to the ongoing Michael Jackson family and friends week long celebration of the life of a man most of these people abandoned a long time ago for one reason or another and had these people shown Jackson this much love when he was alive he might not be dead today
People like Spike Lee and others who publicly mocked and ridiculed Jackson as he was vilified by those people for fear that defending him as an accused pedophile would harm their reputations and careers in Hollywood. How many of these people were by Jackson's ailing side when he was paraded in and out of court as an accused rapist deathly sick in his pajamas?
Not a single one of these people. Not a one.
And even as that was taking place, most of the media was still focusing and hanging on to the Jackson saga as the usual media whores were now having a battle royale over which whore would get to deliver the official eulogy, the obvious choices being Jesse "The Camera Moth" Jackson in one corner and in the other corner is the Reverend Al "I Knowd Him Betta" Sharpton
He was now famously celebrating Jackson's death while bumping and grinding with some black booty at the Apollo theater pictured here.
Get down Reverend Al...he looks terribly aggrieved in this shot, imagine the one's we haven't seen yet...
Here's some more shots of the Rev getting his his groove thang goin' for the crowds who were brought in to the Apollo theater 600 at at time so they could all grieve with the Reverend and stars like Spike Lee, who both again look overcome with grief in these couple of shots. I'm sure Jackson was happy to see these two celebrating his life by mocking his dance moves at the Apollo
Thousands Gather At Apollo Theater To Honor Michael Jackson - wcbstv.com: "Fans from all over gathered to pay tribute to Michael Jackson at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater on Tuesday, where more than 40 years ago, the Jackson Five launched its career, and effectively, a new era in pop music with the introduction to Michael.
Thousands lined up along West 125th Street with many adorned in large black sunglasses and fedora hats, while dressed in multicolored sequined vests or Jackson's trademark sparkling white glove.
Tuesday's memorial, which began at 2 p.m., featured a eulogy by the Rev. Al Sharpton. A moment of silence was called at 5:26 p.m., the time East Coast fans learned that Jackson had died." continued
As if it takes any special degree of intelligence to figure out who gets stuck with the bills for politicians' trips here and there, for this reason or that reason, still few have the nerve to speak out when legislators inject themselves into the celebrity cult worship scene on our dime, as was the case when the most obnoxious woman in congress made her little trip as an official of the US government to Michael Jackson's memorial service couple weeks ago.
Strangely it now appears she doesn't seem too eager to share that information with the public, (in other words, we, her employers), instead choosing to punt the issue down the road to when she finally has to disclose the funding next tax season. Long enough away where she hopes most will have long forgotten her awkward appearance in LA that day to deliver this message and plaque .
Here's another commentary I found today addressing this very subject ...
The most bizarre moment of the Michael Jackson memorial a few weeks ago at the Staples Center in Los Angeles had to be the rambling speech delivered by Sheila Jackson Lee, the joke of a woman who happens to represent part of Houston in the United States Congress. (At the time, Roll Call reported that Jackson Lee “has a history of making cameo appearances at funerals” and that her staff used to “cull the obituaries” to “find funerals” for her to attend.)
There she announced that she would introduce a resolution on the House floor listing every single one of Jackson’s charitable contributions and lauding him as a “world humanitarian” (his generosity to various teenage boys was presumably excluded). Fortunately, Speaker Nancy Pelosi recognized that even this would be too much for the American people to take and put the kibosh on Jackson Lee’s scheme.
Well, it appears that at least some of Jackson Lee’s constituents are up in arms about her trip, as well as the likelihood that she used taxpayer money to fund it. A local television station put Jackson Lee on the spot about the matter. See if you can make hash out of this:
“Who paid for that trip for you to go to that memorial service?” reporter Joel Eisenbaum asked Jackson Lee when she appeared live on the Sunday morning newscast.
“Well, uh … that umm … those resources are resources that I have and, therefore, they are in a way that does not interfere with anything that has to do with serving the United States Congress,” answered Jackson Lee.
“Understood,” Eisenbaum replied. “So, public funds?”
“Those resources are resources that I have,” said Jackson Lee.
Hard as it is to believe, this episode does not rank at the top of Jackson Lee’s absurd moments. Several years ago, she complained about the paucity of African-American names used by the National Weather Service for Hurricanes. And in 2002 the Weekly Standardrevealed that Jackson Lee was using a government car to drive from her Capitol Hill apartment to her congressional office.
If she indeed did use government money to pay for her junket to the Jackson send-off, Jackson Lee will have to eventually report it. But given the tolerance of the people of Texas’s 18th Congressional District for this sort of ridiculous behavior, Jackson Lee doesn’t have a thing to worry about.
I am no MJ worshiper by any means, but this is the historic end of a long, strange, and winding road this afternoon for one of the most talented and yet troubled entertainers in probably the history of all mankind, next to of coarse the King Elvis Presley himself.
Dying unexpectedly at a young 50, I now an unhealthy 44 years old suddenly don't feel so young anymore, and certainly grateful to be alive, as we lose 3 enormous celebrities in just one week, all totally intertwined in the pop culture I and millions of others my age grew up in. In fact it's 4 when we include the star of Kung Fu and Kill Bill movie fame, David Carradine.
Freaky Deaky stuff man.....this video was the moment the huge Michael Jackson was reborn from the Jackson Five fame he grew up with and sent him on this strange meteoric odyssey that ended today
I usually don't blog about this Hollywood stuff but the loss of Ed McMahon, one of Hollywood's original TV stars and one it's best, followed sadly as we reported just hours ago the death of beloved Farrah Fawcett after three years of bravely battling cancer in just one week is now is accentuated as now word comes that Michael Jackson has likely suffered a heart attack..
Strangely enough celebrity deaths seemingly come in three's ,although many consider it to be an old wives tale .....and while he's certainly lived a different life to say the least, lets all hope and pray this guy hangs on from one human being to another, bucking the trend whether real or imagined.
Although when one includes the strange and yet unsolved death of David Carradine a few weeks back, then the spooky triumvirate is already completed.
Report: Michael Jackson Hospitalized for Cardiac Arrest
"Michael Jackson has been rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, according to a report from TMZ.
The legendary singer reportedly went into cardiac arrest and had to receive CPR in the ambulance. According to E!, he was rushed to UCLA hospital.
Of coarse it's sad in the sense that the father obviously loved his son.... he was just an a hole and one of those men who showed it by beating the crap out of him and his siblings all the time.
In one sick way it sometimes takes a father and slave driver to motivate and get kids to be all they can be as Joe Jackson came from an era where kids got their tails whipped for doing things wrong in the old days and fact of the matter is in most cases it worked a lot better than what's being done nowadays which is NOTHING, kids rule the roost in today's warped society.
8 year olds now have cell phones and call child services when their parents tell them to take out the trash
I was never beat by my parents except for getting my ass whipped by Mom when I broke her favorite china hurricane glass lampshade that was literally irreplaceable or the time when I started the family car and put it in reverse as me and it slowly backed out of the driveway crossing the street and ending up backing through the neighbors fence, and other deserving mischief caused by my little brother with I as the little yet older ringleader of trouble.
But, we never got beat for missing a note during piano practice or for missing a strike three at a little league game, so I can't really understand how Michael Jackson felt but the results are quite obvious for all to see now that he apparently stiffed the old man for leaving the scars he tried to cover up with the plastic surgery but wasn't able to escape from until death.
As they say, what comes around goes around Big Joe and this is certainly has to be an ultimate humiliation after Joseph Jackson has taken the forefront since his death as if they were the best of friends like Michael figured he would....
Yahoo! News UK: "In his final will, Jackson divides his estate among his mother, three children and one or more charities - but there is no mention of his father Joe.
The revelations have been disclosed by the Wall Street Journal which says the will could be submitted to the superior court in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Lawyer John Branca and music executive John Mclain, a friend of Jackson, are named as executors.
Mr Branca, who worked for Jackson from 1980 to 2006 and was rehired by Jackson a week before his death, wrote the will in 2002, according to the US newspaper.
In an email message, a lawyer for Jackson's parents said neither he nor his clients had seen the 2002 will.
'No will has been presented to family or us,' wrote the lawyer L Londell McMillan, who also once represented Jackson.
And who the hell can blame them for being pissed off and they can at least know that many of us feel the same way they do as all the cable channels are wall to wall Jackson coverage today of coarse
And CNN in particular has been in "all Jackson all day" Mode since the minute he died, sending Larry King and Anderson Cooper there to Neverland to follow Jermaine Jackson around like puppies throughout his dead brother's house and property, even though the place had been emptied out long ago by Jackson himself after the child pedophilia acquittal.
Even going nutty to the point of disbursing video on youtube purported to show the "Ghost Of Michael Jackson" in his pedophilic den known as his bedroom with 9 bolting locks on the door along with official denials about two days later from CNN. There's another video with a so called ghosting of Jackson with Pooper Anderson as well you can see here if you wish
As if any thinking person would have believed for a second that his ghost happened to show up during Larry King's interview with Marlon Brando's hanger on son Miko, who's accomplished nothing in his life and also claims to have been Jackson's best friend.
So to see and hear these poor relatives of our proud soldiers still being killed in Afghanistan and Iraq complaining about the lack of coverage is completely understandable
As the "self proclaimed 'King Of Pedophelia I mean Pop'" has literally drowned out the deaths of their loved ones thanks to our pathetic and sycophantic celebrity driven media, who when not planted on Jackson's front yard or road into his property as if he's going to appear any minute is firmly planted up the ass of Obama, which is equally is sickening but hopefully this Jackson death does end the worship of Obama if we're lucky
So thus at the very least we can post the story here of another American soldier killed in Afghanistan along with others since Jackson's death and this man's name and his angry relative's explanation is below in it's entirety. He deserves this coverage along with all the others we honor here on Wednesday since this blog started in 2006
Rest in Peace Lt. Brian Bradshaw, 24,
Relatives of Soldier Killed in Afghanistan Decry Lack of Coverage Amid Jackson Spectacle
FOXNews.com:"A day before New York Rep. Peter King called Michael Jackson a “pervert” unworthy of nonstop media coverage, the aunt of a U.S. soldier killed in Afghanistan on the same day Jackson died asked why her nephew's death went virtually unnoticed while the King of Pop got memorial shrines across the country.
'Mr. Jackson received days of wall-to-wall coverage in the media,' Martha Gillis wrote to the Washington Post. 'Where was the coverage of my nephew or the other soldiers who died that week?'
Gillis' nephew, Lt. Brian Bradshaw, 24, died in Kheyl, Afganistan, of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle. Bradshaw, of Steilacoom, Wash., was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division in Fort Richardson, Alaska. He was one of at least 13 U.S. soldiers to die in Afghanistan since Jackson's death on June 25.
Bradshaw's mother, Mary, said she agreed with Gillis, saying the nonstop coverage of Jackson's death has become 'totally ridiculous' and laughable. 'I can watch the news many nights and there's no mention of what's going on in Afghanistan or Iraq and there's boys dying over"
"I can watch the news many nights and there's no mention of what's going on in Afghanistan or Iraq and there's boys dying over there," Bradshaw told FOXNews.com. "Oh God, I can't talk." Gillis, of Springfield, Va., could not be reached for comment. In her letter to the Washington Post, she described Bradshaw as a "thoroughly decent person with a wry sense of humor" who loved history, particularly the Civil War.
"He had old-fashioned values and believed that military service was patriotic and that actions counted more than talk," Gillis wrote. "He wasn't much for talking, although he could communicate volumes with a raised eyebrow."
Bradshaw, who graduated from Pacific Lutheran University, was the product of a military family. His father, Paul, is a retired National Guard helicopter pilot, and his mother is a retired Army nurse.
"He was a search-and-rescue volunteer, an altar boy, a camp counselor," Gillis' letter continued. "He carried the hopes and dreams of his parents willingly on his shoulders. What more than that did Michael Jackson do or represent that earned him memorial 'shrines,' while this soldier's death goes unheralded?"
Gillis said the only media outlets that covered Bradshaw's death were in his hometown of Steilacoom, Wash., and those where he was stationed before his deployment in March.
Gillis' sentiment echoes that of King, the Long Island, N.Y., congressman who called on society to stop "glorifying" Jackson in a YouTube video posted on Monday.
King said Jackson had been excessively praised in the days after his death while society ignored the efforts of teachers, police officers and veterans. In the two-minute video, King called the "day in and day out" coverage of Jackson's death "too politically correct."
"Let's knock out the psychobabble," he said in the video, which was taped outside an American Legion Hall in his district. "He was a pervert, a child molester; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country? I just think we're too politically correct."
King, who is among the possible Republican contenders to run against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, acknowledged that Jackson "may have been a good singer" and "did some dancing," but he blasted the King of Pop as someone who could not be trusted around children.
"There's nothing good to say about this guy," King continued. "But the bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room as Michael Jackson?"

First off I'm not a Jackson sycophant, I just believe this man was murdered and for a number of quite obvious and yet slightly different possibilities or scenarios, and that's my main interest in the continuing of commenting about the overplayed loss of the once brilliant singer and dancer Michael Jackson.
These just released pictures of a rehearsing and obviously happy Michael Jackson while not exactly pictures of Jack La'Lane are proof positive of two things to this armchair detective while this situation becomes a little murkier now that Jackson's tangled and mangled financial web becomes more publicly known..
and those things in my humble and cynically skeptical opinion could be either that he was "accidentally" (wink wink) overdosed by this so called cereal boxtop cardiologist, a clown to say the least who didn't even know how to perform CPR when called upon to do so, which is proof of his utter ignorance and indicates he was mostly a spy put in place by this management company to judge Jackson's intentions and ability to fulfill his 50 show obligation to these money hungry jackals
He was complaining of being manipulated into performing 50 shows when he thought it was only ten which says a lot as well about this company who saw Jackson as nothing more than a cash cow ripe for exploitation.
Not to even mention the eerie irony of the last photos being taken in front of stage signage suggesting Jackson's last ever appearances on a stage, too freaky for me.
Or the most nefarious of the choices and that being it was a simple outright murder, as it's become quite apparent Jackson had fallen into that very dangerous category known to the underworld of scum of relationships of close nature as the old 'Worth More Dead Than Alive" designation.........
and that's not a good place to be for someone who owes various entities hundreds of millions of dollars which it's been accurately reported Jackson does.
The insurance payoff due these people was a lot simpler for them to cash in on than it was to go forward with the risky tour that it was becoming apparent to them that MJ was in no condition to really complete thus leaving them holding the bag for tens of millions in refunds or scenario B where he was visibly ill in the opinion of those closest to him and some nefarious elements conspired to accelerate Jackson's demise in order to secure his portion of the long sought after Beatles catalog by the people at Sony...
Just a few thoughts to take in during the coming days as the people around Michael start openly brawling over his potential Elvis like goldmine which explains the delay in burying the superstar as his family makes plans to turn Neverland into his Graceland which one can somewhat understand but to keep MJ on ice over at the LA county morgue while they lay the groundwork for this potential dead man Disneyland is pretty poor taste as far as I'm concerned, but who the hell am I to judge that family other than this one thing
I don't trust this man as far as I could piss on him, that much I do know, especially after this public plea of sorts yesterday. I mean who the frock gives business plugs while at a ceremony to supposedly honor his dead son like he and this friend of his who looked like 2 elderly Rooster the Pimps
Michael Jackson did some good things and also did some very vile and disgustingly bad things that many could never duplicate due to the need of hundreds of millions of dollars it took to live such a high and low freakshow as was the last 22 years of this man's life.
I'm a little torn on the pedophile attacks, I personally thing he wasn't that but was as close as a person can be and I think his two accusers where whore'd out by their parents themselves, the whole damn scene is pornographic in many ways, perverted by a billion dollars in the hands of a talented yet messed up adult in the body and mind of a sick child.
I paid some homage to the guy for what he added to the music soundtrack of life we now all have the day he died and a few days after....But enough is enough and I'm 100% behind congressman King I have to say as this video has gone all over the net I just saw on OReilly and Hannity along with some friends blogs in the past few hours
Peter King Defends His Attack On Michael Jackson and Media
The Sleuth -: "Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) says he never imagined the short Web video he made bashing the media for its round-the-clock coverage of Michael Jackson's death would go viral the way it has.
The congressman said in a telephone interview this afternoon that when he typically sets up a news conference, 'maybe one radio station shows up.' Of the frenzied reaction over his Jackson video, he said, 'I didn't get expect it would get this response...My God.'
In the video, which King posted on YouTube, the tough-talking, blue-collar Long Island pol calls Jackson a 'pervert,' a 'child molester' and a 'pedophile' and says the media has 'disgraced itself' with its relentless coverage of the pop superstar's passing."
This should be the new logo for the miserably shallow Pop Culture Ruled age we've now enteredThat headline "Michael, The Last Celebrity" is the title of a WSJ op ed this morning, which I happen to agree with and have been saying this for a week now on this blog, as we all know too well, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett both passed exactly a week ago to the hours while I'm posting this little rant....
As many believe with them goes the era of the real celebrity, and when coupled with Karl Malden's passing yesterday and Ed McMahon also last week reminds we Americans in the "over 40" crowd that all we're left with from here on out are the sad and sorry "mostest and bestest"(sic) marketed image and American Idol talent of the moment.
As Twitter and Facebook further shorten people's attention spans to 140 characters or less , so is the depth of the people who are now being offered up as our leaders and celebrities, nothing more or less the latest marketing created person who they can cram onto the most web ads and TMZ sightings in a day.
In other words this is the end of Hollywood of old and the effective end of quality entertainment, as this has nowhere to go but down from here. And downward it will go faster than we could imagine, along with the general collapse of the civilized world with it, as the dumbed down populous now picks it's leaders in the same "of the moment" American Idol made for TV idiocy that brought us here.
To the sad, sorry and self centered "Age Of Obama", which is what historians will call this period of general western decline 100 years from now, when trying to figure out what was actually the defining moment when the great Unites States of America went the way of Atlantis and Ancient Rome.
January 2009, the beginning of the "End of the story".
This Op Ed today from Daniel Henninger goes down this path a little further as you can see I completely agree with his assessment....
The Age of Celebrity died with Michael Jackson's heart.
Those of us dedicated to the zoology of celebrity should have known it was over when the death of next-to-nobody Anna Nicole Smith filled the airwaves in 2007 for a week. Celebrity had lost its meaning. We will bury its golden age in Jacko's tomb.
Marketing runs the world now. Because of marketing the world is overflowing with people who are famous, or anyway familiar. These people aren't celebrities. Not real celebrities. The most shocking thing to me about Michael Jackson's death is that he was 50 years old. I thought he was 25. Real celebrities never age, no matter what they look like. When people went to see Elvis in Vegas, you don't think they saw a fat guy in a white suit, do you? They were there to see Elvis. That's what they saw -- Elvis!
When Jack Benny said he was 39, people thought it was a running joke. No. Jack Benny knew. Jack Benny was a genuine celebrity, so he decided to stay 39. His fans agreed. Jack Benny was always 39.
Only real celebrities can do that. The first requirement is magic and Michael Jackson had it. His stillborn 50-concert London series, which was to start next Wednesday, sold 360,000 tickets in 18 hours in March.(
Regarding that child-molestation trial, here's the brutal way it works: If a celebrity does prison time, he's finished. If not, he's not. Female celebrities tend not to commit felonies but have a habit of being around when someone else is committing them. People always want these celebrities to live inside the moral universe, but it's hopeless.)
Michael is the last celebrity because he rose to fame in the 1980s, and in the 1980s there was no World Wide Web. We didn't have 1,000 cable TV stations. But we did have MTV.
MTV broadcast Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" video in 1983. Music videos helped make him a megastar, but Michael Jackson was the last one across the bridge from the world of celebrity to the media galaxy of bargain-basement fame.
It has taken some time to see how modern media squashed the life out of genuine celebrity. Web sites, TV and magazines shot Michael Jackson and his white glove into the sky like a Roman candle. But in the nature of fireworks, modern media then fired thousands of other people into the same sky -- singers, actors, athletes, talk-show hosts, psychologists, comedians, models -- and turned them all into . . . familiar faces. We're awash in the washed up continued.

This man Evan Chandler, father of Jackson's initial accuser Jordy was a real piece of work it's starting to be confirmed as never before as from the sounds of things said in this article and around the internet, he wont be missed after offing himself a couple weeks ago. Why the public wasn't informed for weeks is a little unusual to say the least? How and why this was kept a secret is a story in itself I would think?.
Especially since this man and his son are probably the two most responsible people for the rapid and wicked unraveling of Michael Jackson's mostly fairy tale life and career minus this ugly crap, and frankly I ALWAYS thought this family was full of **** from top to bottom and extorted the singer then and I believe onward.
My take is he (the father) must have run outta cash himself, and now that the Jackson cashcow is long dead, and his son Jordy, to the right who I believe was put up to the Jackson scam, probably has trouble looking at himself in the mirror for quite some time (no Jackson man in the mirror pun intended, but it works) and that's what caused the severe rift within the family since that's covered in the story.
A guilty conscience sure can be a bitch to live with they say.....
I'm sure there's no sadness for his demise from the Jackson family and certainly not his fans, that much is evident from the cursory research I've done since Jackson's death on the internet and this morning in particular around the world
For instance story that's been around that indicates the then child lied about the abuse....and I would think anyone with a semblance of humanity would have trouble living with such a wicked web of lies these people seem to have concocted ...Let me make clear I'm not a Jackson sycophant by any means which you can verify by previous postings on the subject I've composed over the years here, as I always thought he was screwed by these people as he was the ones that followed ...
jackson and chandler in an old old picture from the time of the alleged abuse took place
I said then and always have ......"Welcome to Shakedown City"
There's an old saying that the only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead.....Well that's two..... so maybe the kid comes clean now so he's not the next casualty with a gun in his mouth on the news next week or the week after.
Beverly Hills dentist Evan Chandler, 65, was found dead in Jersey City, NJ, in a luxury waterfront apartment.
A Jersey City official said Chandler was found in bed with a single gunshot wound to his head. He was still holding the gun when the body was found.
A source confirmed the death, which occurred on Nov. 5.
Police said it does not appear that he left behind a suicide note.
The former dentist and aspiring screenwriter had several cosmetic procedures, rendering him virtually unrecognizable from the way he looked since the Jackson matter, a family source said.
Chandler regularly self-administered botox and cosmetic facial fullers.
'He was a handsomer version of Rob Lowe. That's how drop-dead handsome he was [after the plastic surgeries],'' the source said.
In the early 1990s, Chandler reported Jackson to the authorities in both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, claiming the King of Pop molested his son, who was just 13 at the time.
Both launched investigations into the allegations and convened a grand jury to look into the sex abuse charges.
The boy and and his father also brought a civil suit against Jacko.
Jackson reportedly settled the case for $15 million.
The boy, now 29, has never spoken publicly about the case. In recent years, Jordan has reconnected with his mother — about the same time he and dad Evan had a massive falling out, sources said.
Jordan Chandler claimed his dad attacked him with a dumbbell weight and got a restraining order against his pop in fall 2006."
A little family tension living with the massive lies and guilt for ruining a man's life with false charges can lend itself to lots of infightiing and distrust if not outright bribery amongst one another.....just a couple thoughts on who I and others had pegged for a real POS a long time ago....He, Evan Chandler should have some fun rotting in hell for offing himself and ruining the lives of many many others..

I'm not or wasn't a huge Jackson fan but his music was great and like Springsteen's in another post up here today intertwined with my high school and college pop culture in the 80's, and this little clip leaked out from his pre death rehearsals is pretty interesting in the least.....
He doesn't look "near death" and looks like he had many years ahead ....but looks can be deceiving indeed..however, "Check it out -- he was still in fine voice" ...
Shiny Objects: "To stoke the fires for next month's big-screen release of 'This Is It' -- the feature film compilation of footage from Michael Jackson's final tour rehearsals -- Sony has slipped out a snippet of footage.
It's not quite a minute of Michael, running through the blocking for the song 'Human Nature' from his hit 'Thriller' album. more
I said this in a post the day it happened right here.. It wasn't that hard to see what happened that day.
Say goodbye to this guy Murray when all is said along with some other assorted DR Feelgood's.... who will all fall down as well with related drug charges, all for using their nearly unlimited access to pharmaceutical drugs to cozy up to the Mega Celeb Michael Jackson and other celebrities out there in loonland.
This from Fox News via the Associated Press.....
FOXNews.com: "The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died and is the target of a manslaughter investigation.
The coroner determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died June 25 in his rented Los Angeles mansion, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released. Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson's death, the official said.
Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson's personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of the Los Angeles Police Department's manslaughter investigation. According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston, Murray told investigators he administered a 25 mg dose of propofol around 10:40 a.m. after spending the night injecting Jackson with two sedatives in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to sleep."
The warrant, dated July 23, states that lethal levels of propofol were found in Jackson's system. Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner's toxicology report found other substances in Jackson's system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer's death, the official said.
Jackson's family commended the coronor's office in a statement released Monday.
"The Jackson family has full confidence in the legal process, and commends the ongoing efforts of the L.A. County Coroner, the L.A. District Attorney and the L.A. Police Department," the statement said. "The family looks forward to the day that justice can be served."
Murray has spoken to police and last week released a video saying he "told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail." His attorney, Edward Chernoff, had no immediate comment but has previously said Murray never administered anything that "should have" killed Jackson.
A call to the coroner's office was not returned Monday.
Murray did not say anything about the drugs he gave to Jackso

You wanna live in a place that tells you what you can name your own freaking children, even if it is filled with vivaciously beautiful blonde and blue eyed women from border to border? My personal favorites along with brunettes and red heads as well....(lol)
Even if it's Stockholm Sweden I say " "Hell No" to that most premier of the world's Nanny States, especially after reading this news this morning. As if all the free needles for drug addicts, legal weed and all that other crutch like crap wasn't enough, this pretty much seals the deal.
The Swedish family in question doesn't wish to do anything more than name their daughter Michael without the Jackson part of it as a tribute to the late musician, which by the way in this country is a well accepted unisex type name, as I myself happen to know a pretty hot woman named Michael as it goes..
In addition, many around the globe know the Chicago Sun Times employs one of the most famous females in America named Michael, that being columnist Michael Sneed, who's ALL WOMAN the last time I checked, and as a former rival Chicago Tribune employee, I can vouch for her all female beauty.
Now, for the record, I'm no Michael Jackson freak, although I like millions enjoyed most of his music over the years.... but if I and my future wife whoever that is wanna name our child after the late "King Of Strange" We wanna do it, and I don't want some politician telling me us we cant.
And speaking of creeping Nanny State issues: Hear that Obama and friends?
Just imagine if these parents wanted to name the kid Moon Unit or Dweezle?
They'd probably be jailed. (I know, a little extreme, just making a point)
Anorak News » Blog Archive »"MICHAEL Jackson Tribute Watch: Swedish tax office reject parents bid to name their daughterMichael.
The parents, from Tjörn in western Sweden, want to name their daughter Michael in tribute to the late singer. But the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) says they cannot.
The agency says calling a girl by a boy’s name is wrong. Can Michael be her middle name, then? No, says the agency.
Says the mother:
“It seems ridiculous and we’ve spoken with a friend in the United States who said that Michael is a unisex name.”
Michael might well be a unisex name in America, where in a scurry to be different means surnames are used as first names – Connor, Harrison, Mason, Anorak etc. – but that is not the norm the world over.
Jackson’s long lost daughter, Stockholm Jackson, remains missing…"

To me musically, there's three defining things in the life of Michael Jackson, the anthem he sang as a young child with his brothers that people still sing and know today, "I'll be there".
The second was his performance on the Motown 25 special where he broke away from the Jackson 5 for good, which led to the "All Jackson decade" of most of the eighties, which many of the people hanging on today didn't experience, but I did and it was OK, then.
The third was his penning of the song We Are The World with Lionel Ritchie which was right before the beginning of the end of a near normal Jackson..This video contains every musical star living at the time from the rock and roll era from the 1940's in one room, a feat which will never be duplicated.
For that he deserves much accolade, and was a testament to his unmatchable star power. Then.
The rest of it starting in 2002 was and will always be sad and sorrowful to say the least..... that such a talented man who leaves behind an awesome catalog of music mostly made from his love for music and heart we will hear until the days we die, was such a tortured soul
And now today being carted around to what may be a wonderful tribute but likely will turn into a not so dignified send off containing some who truly loved the man all his life and some has been's looking for a career starter at this place/
All I hope is that this is the end of the out of control Jackson worship, and may this poor tortured musical genius rest in peace after this today....... and may the vultures who then continue to fight to pick at his dead yet wealthy corpse for the next 50 years hopefully rot
********** original post above*****
By the end of the day the most memorable thing besides all the talented people paying tribute was is his child calling him daddy, which was sad for any human.
This poor little girl and her siblings should now get every dime "their father" ever made and ever will and no one else, but probably wont and to them it won't replace him.
And this by the way was Jackson at her age today back then, and already he was a worldwide music star.. All in all, through the entire thing, there's not too many people in the world who have been through what Jackson was and lived forever to talk about it all .
Who wouldn't be nutty after all that shi& and money, It claimed Elvis, Lennon in a different way, Hendrix, Morrison, Joplin, and far many others.... so there's a common thread or many that can't be ignored or glossed over..
So this man child is gone....Rest is Peace Michael, Now if only the other real dangers and problems the world and this country are facing (including it's president in name only) can get back on the front page please......... including on this blog when I said wouldn't do this sh** and I did./
Michael sure never got on the Obama train come to think of it....Gee, I wonder why? Think they were avoiding him like the plague? You tell me that charitable Motown black man wouldn't have done shows for Obama if not the embarrassment they thought he would surely be..now they love all love him to death. pun intended
They weren't there for him then when he needed them, but he was there for them.
Michael Jackson's Three Defining Moments in Video

Joe Jackson when the camera's are rolling at the BET awards last night, got the black mourning face and attire going on full steam......
Not to mention how the greedy slave driving son of a bitch plugged a company he's forming in the wake of his gravy train son Michael's death, who by the way is worth a billion times more DEAD than he was ALIVE now to this greedy bastard
And you know Big Al and brother Jesse smell the cold hard cash and quickly become Joe Jackson's bestest friends and brutha's as the next few shots clearly show
Michael Jackson's father, who had an uneasy relationship with the superstar, has angered fans by making a commercial plug at his first appearance since his son's death.
Joe Jackson, the 79-year-old patriarch of the musical clan, made a surprise showing on the red carpet at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) awards, which had transformed into a remembrance for the pioneering King of Pop.
Here he's seen on the red carpet with the man who was the inspiration for the Pimping "Rooster Character" in Baretta during the seventies starring Hollywood murderer Robert Blake.
What a frickin' slug...... I always hated those two conniving men and not to mention the one shown down below...... and if you really want to see what Joe Jackson was really all about rent yourself the 5 hour miniseries called the Jacksons,
Which was an authorized biography put together by Jermaine Jackson himself who paints his little brother Michael as the family cash cow from 5 years old and onward, a great made for tv movie which certainly isn't the all definitive Jackson Family biography but leaves you with a greater understanding of the burdens placed on the young kids and particularly Michael, the golden goose that laid nothing but Platinum eggs.
Meanwhile this is big Joe on the very day his so called beloved son was found inexplicably dead and likely murdered when those cameras he and Jesse The Moth Jackson are they think nowhere to be found catching the three brother's having a good ol' reunion on the Michael Jackson purchased Encino semi mansion
Saw these on Free Republic and like the poster there found them pretty strange on the day your son dies inexplicably out of nowhere..then again, that's just me when loved ones die....
At least Jesse and the black panther looking bodyguard saw the cameras, while Joe Jackson I'm sure is seeing nothing but these dancing in his head $$$$$$$$$$
