Martin Bashir says he is saddened by the news of Michael Jackson’s passing.  This is the man who spent 8 months with Michael under the promise of looking for the truth about Michael’s life and his relationship with children.  He was with Michael during the “baby dangling” incident and interviewed Michael with the cancer patient Gavin Arvizo who ended up accusing Michael of molesting him.  This guy paved the way for these people to attempt to extort money from him… and now he’s getting camera time to express his sorrow.  He was one of the people who betrayed Michael in a horrible way…

Here is a link to that footage… why isn’t this on the cover of Star Magazine or front page of TMZ?

As you can tell from my posts the last several days, I have been doing nothing but scouring the internet for the truth, the burning question that made me fight back tears as I was watching footage of Larry King & Jermaine Jackson standing on the porch overlooking Neverland Ranch… I just couldn’t get that creeping feeling out of my mind – did he do it?

The answer, I’ve come to discover, is NO.

Michael Jackson didn’t hurt those kids.

I watched the original Martin Bashir interview when it aired in February of 2003, of him with the boy who later accused him of molestation, and it seemed possible that he did it.  It didn’t look right.

A number of news sources, including People Magazine, are quoting that article and referring to it in their reporting on Michael’s troubles.

However, when this documentary was being filmed, Michael also had a camera rolling.  Maury Povich hosted a rebuttal video released by Michael in which they showed Bashir complimenting Michael, expressing an understanding for his caring nature, and praising his love for his children.  He painted an entirely different picture in the “Living With Michael Jackson” film.

You can see the rebuttal videos, including comments from his parents and brother, here.

At the end of this special (it is in several pieces), they refer to a young friend of Michael’s who had his life destroyed by the way Bashir portrayed his relationship with Michael.

Michael and his people were EXTREMELY upset over the way Bashir portrayed them, they way he cut the special, and it was after that special was released that this same boy and his parents started crying molestation… however, their testimony was riddled with inconsistencies, nothing matched up, and in fact Michael went above and beyond to help this family only to have them turn on him when he broke of contact.

He was there to help the child through his illness, he paid the medical bills and for a vehicle so the boy could get to his doctor’s appointments… Michael was so distraught over the allegations of this family he spent so much time with and helped through so much that he really started to suffer… add a bunch of greedy unethical doctors and leeches into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster.

Bashir also painted a very ugly picture of Michael’s father Joe Jackson, and admittedly he was not the best father, but what Bashir left out was the footage of Michael saying that he believes his father is a genius – he loved his father.  I also watched footage of him and the family celebrating Joe Jackson day at Neverland and Michael and Janet gave him a boat because he loved to fish.

Anyway, I apologize that this is jumbled… I have been reading the major reports and watching the coverage, scouring the web for Jackson family videos and message boards with photos, and I’ve read a lot of testimony on The Smoking Gun… and it seems like Michael Jackson lived as normal a life as possible and the media relentlessly badgered him.  Anyone else who ever bought into it feel like a jerk right now?

After the Bashir interview aired, the child who appeared on the couch with him, who he “shared his bed” with, started getting teased… The details of what transpired are difficult to follow, but the mother started calling attorneys and claimed Michael’s people were stalking her.  She claimed not only that he molested them, but that they were held against their will in hotel rooms and at Neverland.

The whirlwind of people involved in the prosecution were pretty much all disgruntled ex-employees or known extortionists.

This alleged victim and his family were all involved in a plot to shoplift and extort money from JC Penney before they met Michael Jackson… they initially wanted $3 million, fought for $500,000 – AND SHE WANTED HER KIDS TO BE IN THE JC PENNEY COMMERCIAL, and they settled for around $150,000 of which each of the 4 family members got a share.  They had their children run out of the store carrying clothing and when security stopped them, the woman claims she was beaten.  However, the mug shot (they were shoplifting after all) and the photos later presented as evidence of injury didn’t mesh.  The mug shot photos were of a miserable looking bitch, but she wasn’t beaten… I have read this in multiple places, and it is court record that her now ex-husband pled no contest to charges for violence against her… So ya think maybe her husband beat her up and they took pictures and said the security did it??  INSANE!!!

Would it be so difficult to believe that these people, in cahoots with the attorney who represented the first “victim”, could concoct a similar story and hope for an even bigger payoff?  I bet the entire time they were mooching off of Michael and his kindness they were formulating the plot… as they did with JC Penney – and they did it with the guy who formulated the first elaborate and sick tale of abuse.  Why didn’t more people search this out sooner?

There is also public record of this woman’s welfare fraud – she collected over $18,000 in welfare checks while her husband was earning $8,000 a month!  Oh, and the kid and his brother who allegedly saw one, or two, or three (testimonly changed all the time) incidents of molestation were NOT SMALL BOYS!  They were 11 and 12 years old, and probably weight more than the frail Michael!  Their claims of abuse came AFTER the video.

So the reports from some psychiatrists and other members that knew the family were that the children became nervous and withdrawn… attributing that to the suspected “abuse” at the hands of Michael Jackson.  The family claim they were held against their will by Michael Jackson’s staff and that they received death threats from Michael’s people.  They also claim there were times when their son was not allowed to leave the ranch, they even went so far as to claim it was posted in the ranch that he could not leave.  However, no proof of such document was ever presented in court.

There were also “love letters” in which the 2003 accuser claims Michael gave him the pet name Apple Head.  This was presented as proof of an inappropriate relationship between Michael and the boy.  But not only did those letters mysteriously disappear (they claim Michael Jackson’s people took all of their stuff and searched it and found the love letters from a clay pot and destroyed them – because Michael REALLY would have sent his henchmen to search for love letters he wrote to a kid???)  Oh, and there are multiple pieces of video footage that show Michael referring to other children as “apple head” – it was just his way of joking with them.  They also had the 16 year old sister testify that she didn’t get a nickname, because she was a girl… he favored boys.  Sure he did.

Also, the psychiatrist – who I have seen on other TV shows – who interviewed the boys as part of the investigation, said that if what the boys were saying was true, Michael was not really a pedophile but more a repressed adolescent exploring sexual curiosities with his friends (apparently this is not uncommon)… However, I think it points to more of the boys formulating this sexual fantasy in their own minds, with the strict coaching of their mother, and rehearsing it.  One of the witnesses who claims Michael had touched him too said at one point, “I’m working on that part” when asked about the series of events involved in the alleged molestation.  He hadn’t yet memorized that part of the story.

Here is a link to The Smoking Gun where I got most of my information.

I feel really bad that I fed into it… I mean so many of us did right?

I admit, I started crying watching some of this stuff… a lot of private home videos and old specials are starting to come about, plus with all the people that visited Neverland… it is awful what those people did to him, and how sad that only now in his death will the truth be fully known.

I hope if you take the time to read this you will comment… Am I way off here???

Debbie Rowe will show her true colors soon.
