Jackson: A man who knew too much



Chris Stevenson

Part II of III

I talked to an old friend, a trusted family friend from way back who wished her name not to be mentioned. She-like many sisters coming up in the ‘70’s was a big Jacksons fan. She would meet Michael and see him and his brothers when the Victory Tour came to Buffalo, NY and Rich Stadium (now Ralph Wilson Stadium): "I met Michael at the hotel (that she worked at) during the Victory Tour. He was a very soft-spoken person. I just don’t think someone like that could molest a child. He was a very mistreated person, ‘Wacko Jacko,’ that was the most insulting name anyone could give anybody." The official OK for blue-collar white America to commence treating Michael with suspicion and disrespect came from non other than the Santa Barbara Police Department.

Though accused of Child Sexual Abuse in ‘93 and ‘03, investigations were closed and he was acquitted. Conspicuously absent were the lack of forensics to prove such gargantuan charges. Considering the televised photos of Michael’s body parts that were bruised and scarred as a result of treatment he endured due to the police ransacking his home in ‘03, you could more than expect photographic evidence of just such molestations in question. Putting it bluntly, networks, news-shows, major national press and internet outlets that had no qualms showing photos of abused prisoners at Abu-Graib would have salivated at the mouth over obtaining photos of abrasions, bruises etc., of the little white boys Michael allegedly abused. During the ‘03 raid, the police finally discovered... they had nothing, nothing for Michael’s debunkers to use to validate such horrific accusations. All they had was the well orchestrated and nationally televised perp-walk, to give the impression Michael did something. Michael in part dug his own grave, his ‘93 accuser was Evan Chandler; the son of a Dentist. His ‘03 accuser was Gavin Arvizo. Though Jackson had been close enough to Arvizo to finance his cancer treatment, the boys in blue weren’t going to go away being proven wrong. In this respect Michael wasn’t treated any different by local law enforcement than many blacks suspects under question in Compton. What he and we didn’t see beneath Gavin’s family drama was the probable beer-and-guts interrogation and determination to make Arvizo turn on the King and literally put words in his mouth to testify against Michael. Michael’s pivotal legal business decision was to replace his attorney Mark Geragos with Thomas Messereau Jr.

After that Neverland would live up to it’s namesake, Michael would never, never live on that land again. White Blue collar disrespect entered the home of the perennial child/man thought by many as trying to be white himself. The ranch he built in 1988 for a mere $17 million and now valued at $100 million became worthless in his eyes.

What am I saying? The events leading up to the first sexual allegation of 1993 is what made the King of Pop a target and those have nothing to do with any sexual misconduct. Enter Dr. Conrad Murray; Occupational Hit-Man. Murray claims to be a Cardiologist, according to "People" magazine, he is financially strapped. Just Michael’s luck to have the world’s only cardiologist to not know how to perform CPR, but he did ride with Jackson to the hospital. There is speculation that Jackson died before Farrah Fawcett. As of late Jackson’s personal chef Kai Chase told Associated Press that Murray usually arrived between 9-9:30pm and would leave late in the evening. She said she was accustomed to seeing him come down some steps carrying oxygen tanks. On the 25th of June Chase states she didn’t see him come down that morning, so she thought he was sleeping late. Suddenly Murray rushes down at noon screaming "go get Prince (Michael’s Oldest son)." On June 23rd, "she said Jackson told her ‘I’m packed and I’m ready to go,’ two days later he was dead."
