• Thank you Deborah. Your writing, your research, and your response are greatly appreciated. The irresponsible "Journalism" began when 12 year old Michael Jackson began to get death threats, which could only be about the fear and envy of racism, and the media took that ball and ran with it. The coverage never stopped after that. It is like a crazy storytelling game at which everyone gets to add a piece to the tale. The game hasn't stopped. Would it be possible to formally adjudicate the media for the persecution of Michael Jackson? It would be a trial of complexity beyond measure, and a trial to the First Amendment. With all of the other tribulations swirling in the world, would this one seem as important? The behavior of the media is symptomatic of the disrespect humans are showing to the planet, to animals, and to fellow human beings. Disrespect runs rampant in this age. Interestingly, this is what Michael Jackson wrote and sang about so many, many times, probably because he understood it so well. His songs of love for humanity, which make up most of his songs, should never be allowed to fade. Michael Jackson was arguably one of the most powerfully influential people on Earth, who spoke out for children, and love, and the planet. As you so beautifully wrote, he was persecuted and vilified. Who else in history can we point to and see as having been brutally treated for standing in the name of respect and love? What is so threatening about love?

• The one question I hear no-one asking in the press or blogland in general is:- 'why� was Michael Jackson taking an extreme drug in order to sleep? What made a relatively fit man known for abstention from the early part of his career until the mid-1990�s, end his days in a made-to-measure trauma room? A star by the tender age of 10, catapulted into superstardom after the success of his first two solo albums, Michael�s dominance in the music industry coincided with the multimedia explosion of the late 1980�s. One of the first of the new breed of artists to fully explore the potential of synergistic promotion of product as a vehicle to reach new audiences, meant that by 1992 the Michael Jackson �brand� had penetrated the consciousness of the developed and most of the undeveloped world. With such unprecedented accessibility came also unprecedented pressure. Pressure to maintain and exceed his own standards, constant deconstruction by the press, and emotional isolation as the gilded chains of a life lived under the microscope bound ever tighter. There is no room to here to list the enormous contribution he made to the lives of children all over the globe. His efforts are a matter of public record and the information regarding them is easily obtainable on the web. Suffice it to say, Michael saw children not as �people-in-waiting�, but as bonafide, sentient personalities whose process and concerns were worthy of respect and protection. Using his fame and wealth to radically benefit the lives of such young people was something Michael believed to be his ultimate purpose here, and it is in this light that we can perhaps understand the catastrophic, internal damage the public cauterization that came from 1993 onwards must have done to him. Something rotten has been decaying at the the heart of our media for some time now, but it took the death of one of its favourite page-fillers to expose the reality of what the cumulative effect of deliberate mental and emotional attack on a person actually looks like. It must surely now be apparent that the existing regulatory checks and balances within the media are totally inadequate � and further, that those monitoring capabilities are unable to prevent the now standard �take aim� and �destroy� default position the media now typically seems to operate from in relation to the subjects it �goes after.� Michael�s early death was not a given. Only the most imperceptive would deny that the anaesthetic that killed him was, in reality, just a formality. No, what killed Michael Jackson was the sustained agony of being put through a baseless, protracted trial in full view of the world�s lens � knowing if found guilty, he would be removed from his children�s lives. And even after his acquittal, facing relentless vilification by a media that chose to simply disregard a verdict they found economically inconvienient. British journalist Charles Thomson�s clear analysis of the recently released FBI files which can be viewed at: http://charlesthomsonjournalist.blogspot.com/2010/01/fbi-files-support-j... - finally and absolutely debunks the myth of Michael Jackson as child molester. Thomson�s point by point breakdown of the files, reveals not only the inability of both the FBI and the LAPD to provide any evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Michael in an investigation that spanned over a decade, but also the continuing inference by the media of exactly the opposite of this. It is important to note there is a profound difference between the FBI stating that X and Y were alleged, and the FBI saying we investigated X and Y � and found X and Y to be proven. Thomson�s review of the files is thus required reading for any who wish to seperate the facts from the soundbites which have largely dominated the media reporting on them. Because the truth is, after the most thorough investigation the American taxpayer�s money could buy, one of the foremost intelligence gathering agencies in the world and the LAPD came up with precisely � nothing. Instead we were served a collage of cut-out articles from a UK tabloid, the dubious recollections of an unverifiable woman on a train, and two ex-employees who only came forward after the 1993 allegations broke and who, coincidentally, were also hawking a tell-all book to anyone who would listen. Long before Dr Murray wrote his first �feel-good� prescription, a lie of epic proportions would set in motion a cataclysmic series of events that would bring Michael to the state of profound depletion we saw in 2005. Evan Chandler � a known brutalist, and Janet Arviso, a proven welfare cheat and compensation-chaser manipulated the American criminal system and a willing media to bury Michael under the worst label society has determined exists. No proof was required, the suggestion was enough. And the world watched on the edge of their seats, as the obvious perjury of the witnesses was overlooked in the stampede to crucify a man previously so celebrated. The inevitably, frenzied media coverage of Dr Murray�s impending trial which will replay the details of Michael dying moments for months to come has now already begun its crescendo. It is amazing to watch how quickly those same people who actively colluded in the degradation and erosion of Michael�s dignity and spirit for over 15 years, have regrouped to focus on Dr Murray as the 'fall-guy' for his part to play in Michael's death. Murray's culpability cannot be denied, but he was far from alone in his opportunism. Where were the voices now wailing about �wasted resources� and the �rights� of taxpayers when Tom Sneddon authorized the use of millions of dollars of Federal money to pursue Mr Jackson in his deeply personal and blinkered takedown of the, then ��biggest pop star on the planet?� Michael Jackson didn�t bankrupt the City of Angels, they fell all by themselves. For a country that can shine so bright when it chooses to � what America did to Michael Jackson stands as one of the most shameful examples of engineered cruelty and unmitigated persecution to be witnessed in modern times.
