Why.
Why is it SO important?
Why is it SO IMPORTANT to script the last chapter of Michael Jackson’s life?
Perhaps unlike many other fans, I try to go where the truth will lead me, even if it’s a truth that I don’t want to hear. On Anderson Cooper 360, July 30, 2009, Cooper had this exchange with Jeffery Toobin, CNN’s Legal Analyst:
Since the day Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, the mainstream media has been scripting a picture of him being this addict. They paraded a number of individuals who claim to have had first hand knowledge of MJ asking for prescriptions or having ‘enablers’ all around him. The LAPD seemed ready to close the book on the investigation once Jackson was pronounced dead at the UCLA Medical Center.
The initial autopsy results were deemed ‘inconclusive’, warranting the need to review the toxicology report that was not to be readied for another 6-8 weeks. Well it’s been 5 weeks now, nearly to the day and results that were expected to be released the week of August 3rd has been delayed ‘indefinitely’.
There have been leaks and rumors from Day 1 about what may have killed Michael. There was this supposed ‘fake autopsy’ report that was denied by officials, while Jackson insiders who claimed to have seen the ‘real’ initial autopsy report say that Michael’s organs were healthy and showed no signs of distress. AEG, the concert promoter for Michael’s ‘This Is It’ shows released tape of him 2 days before he died, singing and dancing and proclaimed him to be healthy, happy, in good spirits, and ‘just fine’! AEG’s Randy Phillips stated to anyone who would listen that Michael passed a physical for insurance of these shows with flying colors.
Yet, he this fine, healthy specimen is dead.
Now the main stream media has jumped with glee to report, based on ‘search warrants filed July 29th in court in Clark County, Nevada, and carried out at properties of Michael Jackson’s doctor imply that investigators looking into his death believe the singer was a drug addict’.
Drug addict – and from that comes Anderson Cooper’s proclamation that Michael Jackson just couldn’t be this ‘great parent’.
Nevermind what Paris Katherine Jackson said at the memorial that her father was the best father she could ever have. CNN is not going to let some 11 year old girl get in the way of their script.
Well, one thing is certain. If Michael Jackson was such a drug addict that it allows Dr. Conrad Murray to walk, despite the very real possibility that this Doctor who was not licensed to prescribe drugs in California, was not trained, licensed or certified in administering anesthetics, was not licensed to even obtain anesthetics and who allegedly used an anesthetic under these circumstances outside of a hospital that may have resulted in the death of the best known entertainer in the world – if Michael was such the addict – then everyone around him knew about it and looked the other way.
Ultimately, Michael Jackson as a ‘drug addict’ has to take personal responsibility in that one cannot help an addict unless or until an addict wants to help himself. But if he was a drug addict, then he was NOT HEALTHY.
Of course Michael may have been legally prescribed medications for a pre-existing condition. However all indications are that the drugs found in MJ’s rented house, as well as materials retrieved from Dr. Murray’s home and businesses appear to paint another story.
And then there’s that toxicology report -- the report that has been delayed indefinitely while the DA is stepping up its role in this case. Toobin implied on AC 360 that filing criminal charges or seeking a conviction in this case may be proven to be more difficult if MJ was an ‘addict’ unbeknownst to Dr. Murray. Somehow doping him with Diprivan doesn’t seem to matter in this equation anymore.
And IF Michael Jackson is this ‘drug addict’, using up to 19 aliases to obtain drugs – we are talking about PHAMACEUTICAL DRUGS.
It’s not like Michael went to some dark, dank corner of the hood scoring for a fix. The white elephant in the room is the alleged, possible abuse of prescription drugs. Drugs not obtained on the black market, but acquired through a network of state board certified and licensed PHYSICIANS. Doctors, if you will – doctors who are typically a part of such prestigious organizations such as the American Medical Association (AMA); the American Academy of Fill-In-The-Blank-Medical-Specialty and so on. Doctors who prescribe drugs everyday to patients complaining of any and every ailment in the book.
Patients like Michael Jackson. If Michael Jackson is a drug addict, then so am I and so is anyone else who takes prescription drugs regularly. Consider what Greg Critser, author of Generation Rx complied as ‘pharma facts’:
This is the side of the Michael Jackson story that will never be told. To the mainstream media, Michael Jackson can never be seen as this caring and sensitive father who, to a person who’s ever met the guy, has never been anything bad said about his personality, demeanor or attitude; Michael Jackson, the consummate professional noted by every professional in the entertainment industry; Michael Jackson, the single most generous individual charities have ever seen; and Michael Jackson, one of the most gifted and successful recording artist in modern day history and known throughout every corner of this earth – he can never be seen in this way because it doesn’t square with ‘the script’.
There HAS to be this DARK SIDE. This UNKNOWN. This MYSTERY. Otherwise, there is no money to continue to be made off of his death. They didn’t get to write ‘the script’ of some down and defeated person who did the ‘unthinkable’ being carted off to jail in chains and an orange jumpsuit. They didn’t get to write – at that time – that MJ had ‘committed suicide’, a tragic end to a tragic, and bizarre life.
So they now seek to rewrite HIStory by proclaiming that he didn’t really die at the hands of another whose own troubled past and financial motivation may have led him to break every medical and drug law on the books, not to mention the Hippocratic Oath that says in part:
They wish to have noted for all history that Michael Jackson did indeed kill himself. The tragic end to a tragic and bizarre life that they have always wanted to write.
However if the truth be really told, Michael Jackson’s over reliance, for whatever his reason may have been, on the medical system, ultimately failed him, just as the criminal justice system almost did. If the truth be really told, Michael Jackson’s need to put himself and his family in a place of ultimate financial comfort, coupled by the sheer, unmitigated expectations of making lots of money by the greedy and arrogant spin masters, caused everyone to look the other way – including Michael himself.
If the truth be told, Michael Jackson’s death was probably not the result of some grand conspiracy by the evil cabal, yet the results of his passing may yield the same results – control of his empire, the selling of his ATV/Sony share to corporate interests, the possibility of turning Neverland into a circus attraction and most importantly, the control of his legacy by reducing it to a state of non-importance in comparison to far less talented and less achieving counterparts.
This is one version of the truth. I would love to be proven wrong. However history has it’s own way of revealing truth over time.
Why is it SO important?
Why is it SO IMPORTANT to script the last chapter of Michael Jackson’s life?
Perhaps unlike many other fans, I try to go where the truth will lead me, even if it’s a truth that I don’t want to hear. On Anderson Cooper 360, July 30, 2009, Cooper had this exchange with Jeffery Toobin, CNN’s Legal Analyst:
COOPER: …Let's dig deeper with senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.
So, what do you make of this, that the search warrant said they were looking for infractions, including prescribing to an addict?
JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN SENIOR ANALYST: Well, I think it underlies how complex this investigation is, because the key thing to remember about Dr. Murray is that he was only Michael Jackson's doctor for about two months.
COOPER: Right. He was like the -- the hired gun just brought in to shepherd him through this concert.
TOOBIN: Get him ready for this tour...
COOPER: Right.
TOOBIN: ... and take him through the tour.
But this warrant suggests that Michael Jackson has an immensely complicated pharmaceutical history and is -- was, in fact, an addict. So, the issue of how he got drugs, from whom he got drugs, where -- when he was using, what he was using; authorities are going to have to figure that out before they charge Murray with doing anything wrong.
COOPER: But in California, my understanding is giving drugs to an addict is an offense.
TOOBIN: It is -- it can be an offense.
COOPER: If you know they're an addict.
TOOBIN: If you know they're an addict, and you think the drugs are furthering the addiction. It's a very hard crime to prove. It's very rarely prosecuted.
COOPER: The fact that he was using 19 aliases, even his son's name, to -- to get drugs, it's interesting, because, all along, we have heard that Michael Jackson was this great parent.
I mean, in reality, how great a parent can you be, if you're popping dozens of Xanax a night? I mean, I -- and I don't mean that, you know, fliply against Michael Jackson.
But, clearly, this -- if this guy is an addict, you know, he -- there wasn't a lot of parenting could be going on.
TOOBIN: Well, I don't know if there was much parenting going on.
But this is how addicts are. They do anything to get drugs. They lie to people. They use their relatives. They use their friends. They sometimes steal money. Now, Michael Jackson seems to have plenty of money. He didn't have to steal any money.
But, again, the fact that they are essentially saying Michael Jackson was an addict makes the prosecution of anybody harder, because it suggests that Jackson himself was the big initiator of getting all these drugs.
Since the day Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, the mainstream media has been scripting a picture of him being this addict. They paraded a number of individuals who claim to have had first hand knowledge of MJ asking for prescriptions or having ‘enablers’ all around him. The LAPD seemed ready to close the book on the investigation once Jackson was pronounced dead at the UCLA Medical Center.

Patients like Michael Jackson. If Michael Jackson is a drug addict, then so am I and so is anyone else who takes prescription drugs regularly. Consider what Greg Critser, author of Generation Rx complied as ‘pharma facts’:
1. Over the past decade, the use of prescription drugs, almost all for chronic diseases, has soared. The average number of prescriptions per person, annually, in 1993 was seven, and in 2004 it was twelve.
2. The amount spent to advertise prescription drugs directly to consumers in 1980 was $2 million. In 2004 it was $4.45 billion.
3. The number of Americans who annually request and receive a prescription for a specific drug after seeing a commercial is 8.5 million.
4. The FDA, the AMA, and every leading medical institution in the country and abroad have noted that liver damage, once rare, is now the leading reason for withdrawing a drug, usually a new drug, from the market.
5. There are more than 106,000 deaths a year from serious adverse reactions to drugs that have been properly prescribed.
6. In 2000 the American Society of Clinical Pharmacologists pegged the percentage of elderly patients receiving nine or more medications at 27 percent, compared to 17 percent in 1997.
7. The Journal of the American Medical Association showed that 5 percent of all hospital admissions for the elderly were due to drugs "known to cause drug-drug interactions." Physicians had either ignored these risks or chose to disregard them. The cost: approximately $16,000 per hospitalization.
8. National spending on prescription drugs, mainly via the Medicare bill, will cost us more than one trillion dollars over the next decade.
9. Between 1996 and 2002, the industry spent half a billion dollars to employ 600 full-time lobbyists, among them 24 former members of Congress.
