I don't know exactly if Jacko was a pedophile or not but I do know that he did some very strange things that should bever have been allowed. For instance there should have been more intervention when he was befriending children. The problem with Jacko was that he was always indlugled and excuses were made for him. His behaviour was never really properly monitored and the authorities never dealt with him properly. I think he was not just eccentric but highly disturbed and in need of soem serious help, which I think the authorities failed BIG TIME in doing.
I don't think his behaviour was simple paedophillia, I think he was a proufoundly mentally ill man, not neccessarily evil, just deeply deeply sick.
Well said...
I was never a fan (persay) of Michael Jackson. But I did appreciate his talent and hard work, and I followed his story for some time. I truly felt sorry for him. Whatever he did and whatever people made him out to be, including whatever he made himself out to be, I felt that he was deeply disturbed and mentally ill (or "sick", to put it bluntly). ...I think that if any of us was born into the same family, with the same talent, and was reared and molded in the same way, we would not have turned out very different from the way he did.
I think that he was, like every human being, once an innocent child. And he was also a very beautiful child, who grew up in a hard world, where everyone wanted something from him. There is no telling what kind of damage was inflicted upon him. And I know people say he was a part of the illuminati (which the minister in this clip above is showing), which I don't doubt. And some say he was trying to get out, and even trying to expose them, which some believe was the reason he was
murdered. If he was, indeed, part of the illuminati, it was something he was ushered into from a young age.
As far as the pedophilia charges, I really don't want to believe he was guilty of those allegations, but as much as I don't want to believe it, I wouldn't put it past him. I always got a homosexual vibe from his persona -- one would have to be blind not to notice his naturally effeminate mannerisms (even before he started being eccentric). And although that has nothing to do with pedophilia, in his situation, it would have been a perfet recipe for such deviant behavior. He was THE BIGGEST name in entertainment history, and his success literally hinged on his reputation. Being a black man, in a time of racial tension, who was breaking down national and cultural barriers, growing up in a very judgemental society, coupled with his very rigid, religious upbringing, and highly respected family name... he could not afford to be a homosexual. He would be bound to take such a secret to his grave.
All of this merged with the fact that his very TV career started off with a lie (he was told to lie about his age on national TV), and the fact that
image was heavily emphasized to him from the time he was a child... He was destined to struggle tremendously with finding his
true identity. Couple this with him not having much of a normal childhood... People who knew him say he was old an old man as a young boy and became young as he aged... He probably had the mind of child... possibly even Bi-polar. His drug addiction (and many interventions) shows that he had a lot of deep, unresolved issues. It would have been easy for him to have been a sociopath.
So, I do agree that he was probably a very troubled man, crying out for help, and not knowing how to get it. This is why I feel sorry for him. Where most people go wrong is going from one extreme to the next; either painting him as a saint or an angel, or painting him as a complete monster. I don't believe he was either. I believe he was just as human as any of us, but having to deal with a more grandiose life, trying to mold himself accordingly. He was no angel, by a long shot. Neither was he a demon. You either totally love him or totally hate him!, and most people get confused somewhere in between. He was definitely an enigma, and unless you studied his life, you would be forced to take one side or the other. But there is a balance to everything.
