Michael Jackson: Legacies of a Globetrotting Moonwalking Philanthropist (MJ haters ignore)

...

"What is so odd when it comes to public discussions of Jackson’s legacy is how few comments one hears about the monies the singer worked for and donated to dozens of charities around the globe."

...

"All those stunned by the literally worldwide outpouring of tributes upon his death need only recognize that his generosity truly was global. During the course of various tours he often forfeited individual payment and instead donated his earnings to others: at one point presenting Mayor Kronawitter of Munich, Germany, with a 40,000 DM-check for the needy people of his city; donating £400,000 pounds to charities in Dublin, Ireland; presenting 1 million pesetas to a charities sponsored by the Queen of Spain, and £200,000 to Prince Charles of Great Britain for the Prince’s Trust. Argentina, France, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Romania, Russia, and citizens of countries throughout Africa benefited repeatedly from Jackson’s amazing capacity for altruism.

It is possible that the inscription on the Bollywood Humanitarian Award that the megastar received in 1999 sums up what drove him to work so hard in order to give so much: "Though he comes from the young American tradition, Michael is the embodiment of an old Indian soul. His actions are an expression of the philosophy of Weda, which asked to work for the people––not for one's own interests.""

..."another theory surfaced after famed mentalist Uri Geller stated he had once hypnotized Jackson and, while the singer was “under,” asked if he was guilty of any of the charges against him. The answer was an emphatic no that provided Geller with personal closure on the issue. So the question remained, what then might have been Jackson’s reason for the sleepovers at his Neverland ranch?

And the answer could be this: his fantasy was not a sexual one at all but a fantasy of being the perfect father. To seek refuge from fear or loneliness within a parent’s bed is a common family scenario. Jackson welcomed children in order to practice parenting them with degrees of compassion, empathy, and love that he felt he had never received but which were essential to the greater development of one’s human spiritual potential. Consider that possibility and it becomes no small wonder that his daughter Paris took the emotional risk of speaking before millions to declare, “Daddy has been the best father that you could ever imagine.”

...

The Blessing of Options

One of the greatest legacies, other than monetary wealth, that Jackson will leave to all the members of his extended family is that of choice. They will not have to work in the same driven manner as he did for survival, acceptance, material comfort, racial equality, or individual integrity because his labors have already paved the way. They have been blessed with resources and opportunities to carry his creative visions and the prosperity they generated, as well as their own, much further.

"However the world community chooses to interpret it, where Michael Jackson himself is concerned, if the purpose of a legacy is to help make the world a richer, more fulfilling, and more humane place than it was during one’s lifetime, he can rest in peace knowing he did exactly that."

This magic is love
that spins your style platinum
and your soul brilliant.

...

A horn of plenty
spills from your hands into the
starved lives of millions.

1. Read the trial transcripts

for further information about his gift giving adventures.

[Triana]

2. I have read them as well as several books written by those who were there

...including members of the press and the attorney who represented him in his trial before he was adjudged INNOCENT on all charges because the jury could see that the boys were put up to lying by their extortionist parents - and their stories didn't add up.

He's innocent, tabloid junkie.

I'd recommend YOU try some further reading about these attempts at extortion against Michael - that is IF you're interested in the truth - rather than the tabloid trash, media sensationalism, & persecution of an innocent man by them and greedy extortionists after his money:

It's all there - any ignorance of it is purely willful at this point.

3. Reread the trial transcripts again

and focus on those hundred dollar bills. And the jurors response about there having been no doubt the boy enjoyed being Jacksons toy.The trial transcripts are not tabloid trash. There was not enough evidence to convict.Child molestation cases are very very difficult to prosecute in a court of law. Do a little real research.

In further support to the statement made about child molestation cases are very difficult to prosecute in a cort of law ,or get a conviction, look at percentages convictions vs. lost cases in the rape category. Research that ,find the truth,than reread the trial transcripts.

Wait a minute Mr. Postman.

[Triana]

6. I will not. I've read them twice.

After the DA had investigated MJ for YEARS trying to find something - ANYTHING to destroy him with; after they raided his ranch several times, after they made him strip naked in his own living room to take pictures of his genitals to see if they matched the boy's description of them (they did NOT), after the media decided for the public and the courts before the trial even began and all while it was conducted that he was guilty - after ALL that - and I mean they TRIED EVERYTHING to persecute this man - NO conviction.

WHY?

Because he's innocent. THAT is why there "wasn't enough evidence" even after all this. He doesn't even BEGIN to fit the profile of any child molester, furthermore.

The parents of the boys had attempted to extort money from other Hollywood celebrities as well - and even a department store - by making similar claims - they were notorius for it. One boy as under the influence of Sodium Amytal when he "confessed" what Michael "did" to him.

http://site2.mjeol.com/mjeol-bullet/fischer-no-corroborating-evidence-and-sodium-amytal-used-in-93-bullet-122.html

"As there often is in these cases of alleged child molestation, it's easy for someone to make an accusation, but it's very hard to defend against it. And that's because often there's no other evidence (see transcript)."

"There's the say so of a child surrounded by adults who encourage the child to make these statements for their own motivations. And there's no other evidence. That was the case in 93 and so far that seems to be the case now."

Chandler had used the drug on his son, but the dentist claimed he did so only to pull his son's tooth and that while under the drug's influence, the boy came out with allegations.

Sodium amytal used to pull a tooth?? I don't think so. In the 94 article, Fischer quotes Cleveland psychiatrist, Dr. Resnick, as saying of sodium amytal:

It's a psychiatric medication that cannot be relied on to produce fact…. People are very suggestible under it. People will say things under sodium amytal that are blatantly untrue. It's quite possible to implant an idea through the mere asking of a question. The idea can become their memory, and studies have shown that even when you tell them the truth, they will swear on a stack of Bibles that it happened.

_ _ _ _ _

I've DONE my research - for the past 6 years. The truth will out. In fact, it did in 2005. DID YOU NOTICE? I am not going to patronize your ignorance. It's up to YOU to fix that, not me.

4. thanks for sharing this

I was unaware of it. I was a great fan as well and no, I don't think that Michael Jackson did anything wrong except piss off a bunch of good ol' white boys looking to lynch him.

They were successful to a point sadly.

I still do miss him.

He was a great talent the likes of which we shall never see again.

:dem: :kick:

5. Since you put it that way,

word floating around in the streets of L.A. in the early 80's did not come from so called good ol white boys, in fact the word came out of east L.A.-I will not tell what the word was because it was so called hear say. But the word came down to the street wise- Where the news don't make it's way to print.Sheeesh, talk about how low can you go.

[Triana]

7. Damn straight - especially f*cking Sneddon

between him and Bashir, Diane Dimond, et al. they all need to rot in Hell for what they put this innocent man through.

[CountAllVotes]

8. Sneddon - yep, that is the Man the needs to look in the mirror IMO

f'n PIG.

Makes me sick that bastard!

I read the "transcript" too. It was a pile o'shit. If they had anything that could have stuck for a second, it would have stuck. Period.

Enough ugliness has been said about Michael Jackson.

Why can't these pigs let him rest in peace?

No mention of the fact that MJ contributed lots of $$$ to the Democratic Party btw is there?

Why not? Maybe we have a few of these sorts among us dare I suggest?

:kick:

[Triana]

9. "No mention of the fact that MJ contributed lots of $$$ to the Democratic Party btw is there?"

Nope. And I suspect we have a few "Sneddons" here, yes.

They tried EVERYTHING to "convict" Jackson. And STILL they couldn't do it - because there was simply nothing to convict him OF - but GAWD did they try. Sheesh.

Tell ya who was molested during those child molestation accusations? MICHAEL JACKSON was. He had done NOTHING but provide money, material items, love and moral support to these boys and their families and in return - (and as they had done with other celebrities and even department stores) - he got accused of "molesting" them - when Michael was pretty much a child himself - in a man's body - including a childlike innocence that would have prevented him from EVER doing what he was accused of. MANY people who knew MJ over the years have attested to this - AND THE JURY FOREMAN at the end of the 2005 trial said that they decided he was innocent because they could see this. Michael GREW UP sleeping in a bed with his brothers - because they shared hotel room beds and beds in their small house in Gary, IN. There was nothing sinister about it.

All this was done because those boys' greedy parents wanted MORE of Michael's money. The ONE thing MJ loved and cared most about was children - especially the sick and deprived. His generosity, trust, innocence and love for helping sick or deprived children made him a prime target for such sick, greedy f*cks.

MICHAEL JACKSON was materially, physically (they made him stand naked in his own living room so they could take pictures of his genitals and compare them to the boy's description - and viola - they DID NOT MATCH), spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically MOLESTED by these extortionists, by Martin Bashir's hit piece on him, by DA Sneddon - who had a vendetta against Jackson and had been investigating him for YEARS, and the tabloids and media.

And even with all that against him - he was STILL adjudged INNOCENT on all charges because it was obvious to those in the courtroom and the jury that the boys were lying and that they were put up to the deed by their parents.

THERE WASN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE - damn straight! Why? Cause he was innocent. Duh.

I hope like Hell the Karma train comes roaring headlong towards these cretins at some point. If anyone deserves to rot in a very Hot Hell, they do.

[CountAllVotes]

10. I agree w/you

I found another article re: MJ. It must be on my other computer. When I find it, I'll PM it to you. It is sad as all hell.

That f'er Joe Jackson is a real SOB as well and yes, he hurt MJ very badly.

Will send it to you later ok?

Hang in there as you aren't alone in your disgust.

America killed MJ. :( :( :(

[Triana]

11. Joe Jackson = child abuser...

...I have no use for that man.

Thanks - I'll look forward to the article. "You are not alone" - that's good to know. :)
