This Day In Retrospect

 It's hard to believe 365 days have passed us by since Michael Jackson's death. That very day when disillusion reined supreme in all our minds. He had just Sold Out The O2 Arena and appeared more healthier then ever(since the 90's). Clearly, this guy was ready to take the world by storm! None of us ever dreamed we would hear these words on national television..."Michael Jackson died today..."

 I remember it clearly. I was on the computer surfin' the web when my mom cried out "R.J...Michael Jackson has been rushed to the hospital!"
Many things were going through my mind. "What about that medical test back in Feb?" "The media will proclaim Jackson flopped his comeback. Saying 'I told ya so!'" "Will more shows get held back?"

 Yet as time passed the news anchor announced that Mr. Jackson was now in a coma only to be changed to death. I fully admit to denying it no matter how credible the source was. Even wishing somehow they make a mistake and found someway to revive him. But my hopes were in vain.

 Eventually, I came to the realization that he was truly gone. But not until July 9th. When Parish Jackson made that sincere heartfelt remark, I could do nothing but break down and cry(even as a 24 year old male). Though the media has over-played that scene. Destroying the justice it so richly deserves.

 Michael Jackson will always be remembered as a Thriller sensation who impacted millions with his life and legacy-But was laced with numerous problems too personal to describe!

Autopsy Report Leaked!

 Well, it appears Michael Jackson wasn't the addict many put him out to be. According to the latest autopsy report, Jackson was fit as a fiddle and ready to take the world by storm! This matches the testimony of those closest to the pop-star. You've reiterated Michael's zeal that one final night.

 Now he most certainly had a few ailments(non of which were life-threatening). Chronically Inflamed Lungs-Possibly mistaken for a narrow nasal(Michael's complained of breathing problems throughout his adult life). Slight plaque build-up in his legs(varicose veins). Slight arthritis on lower back and fingers(mostly back trouble).

 They've even found some scars from the Pepsi Incident and from plastic surgery(though nothing hideous as the tabs would have us believe). Many fresh puncture wounds were fond on the singers arms(from that fateful night). Other then Propophol and tree Benzodizapines, no other drugs(legal, illegal, or over-the-counter) were found flowing through his vains. Dr. Conrad Murry mixed Lipozine with the anesthetic and the ambulance shot a stimulant directly into MJ's heart to get it started(in all, that makes 5 substances).

 Whatever these new findings uncover, it proves Dr. Murry's claims are unsubstantiated, misinterpreted, or both. Source

Michael Jackson Death Rumors Debunked

 It's now been a month and we have no idea what exactly cased Michael Jackson's death. The only substance found in his home was Diprivan stored in Dr Murry's closet.

 However, all autopsy reports that has thus surfaced are blatantly false and are only contributing to a rumor mill. According to ET Online, the autopsy reports will not be released until late this week.

In the meantime, let's debunks a few rumors while we're at it.

The Missing Nose

 In reality, the coroner misidentified a devise they were using to identify cancerous cells in which none were found. Don't ask me why he thought that.

On Drug Addiction

 Again those reports of numerous needle marks and multiple tablets are fabricated. We won't know a bloody thing until toxicology reports are in. Not to mention, it's impossible to self-inject yourself with Diprivan without the needle still half-burled in your arm(the moment a drop touches your blood, your out cold).

 He was addicted to prescription painkillers in the early 90's and possibly again during the trial(maybe another fabricated rumor). However, all of Mr. Jackson's insiders(with the exception of Sheryl Lee) did not see any signs of an abuser.

No other medications have been found in his home.

On Frailty

 Just by reading several testimonies on Michael's final days here on Earth will immediately send those alarms flaring in the back of your mind! *Rumor Weed!* *Rumor Weed!*

 The man was as fit as a fiddle and had energy like a 30 year old!

 Until those coveted reports come out, see you all Thursday or Friday!

Is Michael Haunting Neverland?

 Just recently, Larry King gave Jermaine the floor for CNN. In addition, Mike Brando-A long-time employee and friend treated us to a thorough tour of Neverland Valley Ranch. Including his 13,000 square foot living space.

 Well as they approached a corridor, a shadowy figure very reminiscent of Michael Jackson spontaneously drifts on by from the other side. Only three explanations can be drawn at this time.

1. Either a cast member was there behind the scenes(but where? How do you explain someone casting a shadow without being visible?).
2. Or CNN was just pulling our leg(It wouldn't Be the first time Click Here)
3. It's REALLY the ghost of Michael Jackson or a demon imposture his figure(the scriptures declare that the dead know nothing of the living)!
   

 I'll leave it for you to judge for yourselves!

Gone Too Soon-The Untimely Death of A Timeless Legacy

 The anticipation was strong. The hiatus unbearable. The clock was ticking. July 13th would inaugurate the return of a super legend everyone could not help but watch. After 8 long years, Michael Jackson was coming to town!

 But as I was writing a [now defunct] blog post, my folks told me the horrid story. My initial thoughts were "Get out of here!" But then I stubbornly realized it was no joke.

The man who lit up the walkway tiles was no more. Gone was the chance to reclaim the throne. A man-child who once filled the streets with wannabes on every corner has now become another victim of an adverse drug reaction. First, it was a Cardiac Arrest that turned into a coma. Then, The King of Pop was pronounced dead.

That's when it hit me real hard. A child-like figure who opened wide the gates of Neverland for disadvantaged children was now a dead corpse at a city morgue.

"Like a comet blazing cross the evening sky, gone too soon."

I pray that his family, friends, and fans can get through this tragic loss. May God bless you all. Like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Frank Sinatra, his legacy will live on forever!

Did Big Pharma Kill Michael Jackson?

Now we have 4-6 weeks to wait for the absolute proof. Yet evidence is pointing to an adverse reaction to Demerol-A completely legal(according to the FDA) substance used to kill pain. Michael Jackson's personal doctor injected a shot into his arm because of a sprained ankle during last evenings(June 24th, 2009) rehearsals. Though layers have denied such claims, shot-marks have been found in his arm.

During Wednesday Night's warm-ups, there was no indication of any dumb-foundedness(a druggies high) nor pain of any kind. According to Kenny Ortega, Travis Paine> Frank Delio, and many others, Jackson couldn't have been in greater spirits! His singing and dancing(with Laryngitis as an exception) was up to par and did not miss a step! You can read the whole story that rehearsal night Here.

But then came lunchtime. Michael was found sprawled out on the floor with a weak pulse(this rules out cardiac arrest). His doctor called 911. The paramedics came and tried to resuscitate the legend to no avail. At the UCLA Hospital, family gathered around and was devastated by the words that fell from the physicians lips.

"Michael Jackson has been pronounced dead at 2:16 P.M. June 25th, 2009."

Although I do not have concrete proof, I strongly believe had he not been injected with any Demerol that night, it would have been business as usual preparing for the greatest comeback off all time!

Michael Jackson Breaths His Last

 At first it was a 911 phone call exclaiming "He's not breathing!" Headlines proclaimed Michael Jackson being rushed to the local hospital.Possibly due to heart trouble.

 No less then 2 hours later, another legend had perished within the river of death. At 226 P.M.(Pacific Standard Time) death had claimed no ordinary victim.

 Many from across the four corners were devastated as if losing one of their own. Clearly nothing like this has ever happened in the music scene since the death of John Lennon(1980) nor Princess Diana(1997). Many who have worked with the pop star have felt a piece of their hearts pass away that fateful night.

 Let me just close with these brief quotes...

 "I'm sorry and I can't believe he's gone. I somehow thought Michael would be with us for a long time to come. I was looking forward to more musical genius as well as original dancing moves that would once again raise the bar for generations to come."

Tony Merrithew-Speed Demon Animator

 "It's so sad and shocking. I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented boy man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever and my memories of our time together will be happy ones".

 "I send my deepest sympathy to his mother and the whole family and to his countless fans all around the world."

Paul McCartney

 “For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words."

 "He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”

Quincy Jones

"Michael was on stage performing the numbers, singing and dancing with the cast. It was a privilege to be able to watch the concert that no one will see now."

"By the time that Michael came in, all we had to do was just show [the plan] to him. He was such a quick learner. He would learn this stuff in seconds. And jump right into it! The choreography, all of it...He looked fantastic."

"He claimed that he felt he had a little bit of laryngitis. But he looked great and these pop-locking moves that he was doing on stage with the crew were just breathtaking...He didn't seem tired. He went from one move to the next. It was an unbelievable experience to be with him and to see it all come together."

"He was joking with the crew on stage, there was a cameraman on stage...that was a foot away from him that was kind of crouched down and Michael said some kind of funny gesture like...‘Oh you're very close, look how close you are.' And he reached down and touched the cameraman on the top of the head in a joking manner. You could see on the screen how big Michael's image was on these projection screens. He was playful and light-hearted."

"I just thought...'Wow, he still has it!' When he did 'Thriller,' I was just in awe. I stayed for a while, probably until about midnight. And then they started to rehearse the 'Thriller' number with a gigantic spider on stage and I thought...'Well, it's getting late...'Had I known, I would have stayed another half hour and watched more."

"Jackson finally retired after 1 A.M. I Was told.
At rehearsals the following day, none of the crew members knew anything was wrong until media reports began circulating the following afternoon."

"I wasn't sure what was happening. People were just looking at their phones and looking at websites and texts that they were getting. I think the news was now coming out. [Show producer Kenny] Ortega was on and off the phone probably five or six different times. And the news was slowly coming in, but it was not definitive. And Kenny finally looked at us and said, 'We need to call a group meeting.'"

"He said, 'Michael Jackson was taken to the hospital. We're not sure at this point what has happened, but Michael Jackson has passed away.’ And then there was just this gasp. It was the words we didn't want to hear."

"Almost in tears, Ortega had no choice but to call it a wrap."
