Barresi, Pellicano and Michael Jackson ‘FBI’ files. Part 2
This is part 2 of the post about Michael Jackson so-called secret FBI files. The subject of the discussion is 6 pages disclosed in June 2013 by some UK tabloids and a certain Barresi who claims that the papers come from Pellicano and that Barresi once worked for him.
To see that the papers are not FBI and are no secret, and to learn who Barresi is, you need to go to the first part of this post.
And over here we will focus on Barresi having no right to speak on behalf of Pellicano at all, and on Barresi’s story about MJ being the opposite of Pellicano’s, and the fact that even today Pellicano insists that there was not a single shred of evidence against Michael Jackson in 1993 or ever.
This post will also look into the 6 documents presented by UK tabloids as some kind of a sensation which they are not – except the sensation, of course, that some of them are fake.
DID BARRESI WORK FOR PELLICANO?
The Sunday People article of June 30, 2011 speaks of Barresi as Pellicano’s “senior snoop”. From the way they present Barresi here it looks like he is Pellicano’s right hand who is fully entitled to speak on his behalf:
Pellicano is now behind bars serving a 15-year jail sentence for racketeering and wire-tapping. But one of his senior snoops – who worked extensively on the Jackson case – has broken his silence to speak exclusively to the Sunday People.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/michael-jackson-paid-23million-buying-2011662
Barresi is Pellicano’s “senior” snoop? So every story told by Barresi now should be regarded as first-hand information direct from the investigator who looked into the scandal around Michael Jackson in 1993?
Noooo, guys. Of all lies told by Barresi this will be one of the biggest ones. Barresi wasn’t Pellicano’s investigator, senior or any other, and he had no access to any of Pellicano’s files – firstly, because Pellicano was not in the habit of sharing his secrets with anyone and secondly, because he didn’t regard Barresi as a credible source.
To describe Pellicano’s secrecy and unwillingness to let anyone into his investigative work Barresi himself said that even Pellicano’s direct employer Bert Fields did not know a thing about the way Pellicano was going about his business. And this is the exact reason why Bert Fields didn’t have to answer for Pellicano’s methods for which he is now serving a term in prison.
Barresi said about it:
“He had a lot of extraordinary trade secrets, and for Pellicano to share with his long-term clients — Mr. Fields was a long-term client — would be like a magician telling the audience how he did his tricks,” said Paul Barresi, a former legman for Mr. Pellicano. Mr. Barresi has been aiding the defense team for Mr. Fields in hopes of a later payday.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/06/business/06holly.html?_r=0
When Pellicano was arrested Barresi was arrested too, but was set free, and from this fact alone we know that the magician did not share his trade secrets with Barresi either.
The above piece is also a tacit explanation of the role played by Barresi in all those investigations – he volunteered his services, most probably by offering dirt on someone, and this dirt could then be paid or unpaid depending on the situation. So his style was closer to that of a blackmailer than an investigator, especially since the dirt was not necessarily to be true.
This voluntary informant’s work is actually what Barrisi did for Pellicano. The field he was working in was the one he knew best – it was gay sex industry.
Barresi also regularly freelanced for Pellicano. “Whenever there was a damaging story involving a celebrity client that involved sex, then I was involved,” Barresi said
http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/LegalCenter/story?id=1625097&page=1&singlePage=true
The difference of an informant is that he brings in any dirt he is able to dig up, whether true or not. He doesn’t check up the veracity of the story and doesn’t analyze things in order to arrive at the truth which is the job of an investigator proper. “Legman” is exactly the right word for Barresi.
But the most important proof that Barresi wasn’t Pellicano’s investigator, especially the one entitled to speak on his behalf, is the fact that Pellicano was asked a direct question about his cooperation with Barresi and Pellicano said “No”.
The question was asked in October 2006 by Martin Lasden, a journalist working for the California Lawyer Daily Journal who approached Steven Gruel, Pellicano’s attorney with this and other questions.
And what answer did he get? Pellicano fully disavowed Barresi and said that he never hired Barresi to do any investigative work for him. The word “any” was put in italics by Martin Lasden himself.
Martin Lasden’s account about Barresi is very detailed and I couldn’t resist making a long quote from it because it was only here that I realized one other important thing about Barresi. Back in 1993 he not only worked both sides of the street – with LAPD (prosecution) and Pellicano (defense) over the Lemarques’ tapes, but he used them to a threefold advantage for himself.
To LAPD and Pellicano he told the true story of Lemarques, but to two tabloids he sold the false version of the same.
Do you think Pellicano could regard a person like that as a credible source and trust him with his own findings? Absolutely not! Barresi would have sold Pellicano’s secrets at the first corner had he had known any of them.
Here is Martin Lasden’s story:
Of all the people I interviewed about Anthony Pellicano, Paul Barresi had the most-vivid stories to tell. A former porn star who quit the business in 1989 because he was afraid of getting AIDS, Barresi worked for a while as a sales rep for a courier service. He also capitalized on his Hollywood contacts by occasionally selling information to the tabloids, and later he got back into the porn business as a producer. He met Pellicano in 1993.
“I found out about Pellicano through what I read in the media,” he says. “I knew he was Michael Jackson’s PI. I also knew that we had certain things in common. For one thing, we were both Sicilian. And when I saw him on TV, he acted a lot like the kids I grew up with. I said to myself, ‘I should get along with this guy.’ So I called him up and said, ‘Look, I can’t discuss this over the phone, but I got something that will be useful to you in the Michael Jackson case.’ ”
The next day, Barresi sat on a black leather sofa in Pellicano’s office, describing the contents of two surreptitiously recorded conversations he had had with one of Jackson’s cooks, Philip LeMarque, and his wife, Stella. The LeMarques, Barresi says, claimed they observed Jackson molesting child actor Macaulay Culkin. They also told him they wanted to sell their story to the tabloids.
Barresi agreed to act as their broker, and he quickly secured a $150,000 offer from the National Enquirer, with the understanding that he would get a 15 percent cut. The deal turned sour, though, when the LeMarques hired an attorney who promised to get them half a million dollars instead. Naturally, Barresi was upset, and he wanted to get back at them if he could. This was where the tapes came in.
When the LeMarques first told Barresi their story, they said they saw Jackson’s hand over Culkin’s pants. But as time passed, their narrative evolved and had Jackson’s hand inside the boy’s pants. Barresi had this discrepancy on tape, and now he was alerting Pellicano.
“He was very attentive,” Barresi says of that first meeting. “He looked at the transcripts, evaluated what I had to say about the inconsistencies between one transcript and another. … I could tell he liked my handiwork. That is how the relationship started.”
For the next ten years, Pellicano hired Barresi from time to time to dig up dirt on famous people. Barresi says he was always paid in crisp $100 bills and was never told the reason for a particular assignment.
And here comes a piece about Pellicano denying that he ever hired Barresi:
“I inform him of Pellicano’s latest denial, which is that he never hired Barresi to do any investigative work for him. My source on this is Steven Gruel, Pellicano’s attorney. But, as I say to Barresi, it’s not a claim I take seriously. Not with the emails and faxes Barresi has shared with me that document the relationship. And then there are all the other people I’ve talked to who vouch for Pellicano and Barresi’s association. Yet Barresi is still upset. And so the next day he sits down and writes Pellicano a letter.
“Look, I got proof I worked for you,” Barresi writes. “Proof positive. You paid one of my sources in cash yourself. You mailed him money, $200 cash, in an envelope. … How about that male hustler who said he was with Tom Cruise? I brought him to your office on your instruction. You said you needed to interrogate him. I still get e-mails from that cocksucker, all pissed off at me. Also, several of your secretaries, who John Connolly spoke with, and other people associated with you confirmed I did jobs for you. “Reflect on this, please. Be honest. Write me back.”
http://www.callawyer.com/clstory.cfm?pubdt=200610&eid=877922&evid=1
Raymond Strait, Barresi’s unsuccessful book partner described the situation with the male hustler in the opposite way – Pellicano didn’t give him any assignments in respect of this man. On the contrary, when the hustler approached Barresi with his story and requested him to get a movie deal based on it, Barresi started thinking of how to “spin the story into a small fortune” with a 15% commission for himself. The first call was to the National Enquirer, but when that deal went sour the second call was to Pellicano who asked (or agreed) to interrogate the hustler to check his credibility. In the end Barresi got $5,000, the hustler got nothing and had to flee the country. Now Barresi is saying that he has done “investigative work on behalf of Cruise”.
This is the usual routine with Barresi. He learns of some dirt about someone (fictional or real) and offers it to all interested parties expecting a lavish pay for it, and when things don’t go his way he favors those who pay most. No wonder Pellicano said he never hired Barresi – a style like Barresi’s can compromise any true investigation.
But what worries me most about Barresi’s letter is its last sentence – “Reflect on this, please”. To me it sounds like a threat. It sounds like if Pellicano doesn’t reflect on it the right way Barresi will make Pellicano regret it.
Pellicano is in prison now and will stay there for long, and won’t be able to defend himself or anyone from behind prison bars. In circumstances like these Barresi can easily take his little revenge on Pellicano. For example, by distorting his words. For example, about the person whom Pellicano fiercely supported. Someone like Michael Jackson, for example. Especially if he is paid good money for it.
The big difference between Barresi and Pellicano is that Barresi can say anything about Michael depending on the sum, while Pellicano is an investigator who cherishes his reputation of a man-who-knows-all and who, once he learned the truth, will stick to it no matter what.
And as regards Michael Jackson Pellicano always spoke of his innocence. And he did not just say it – he was adamant about it. He said it at all times while he worked for Michael Jackson and after the work was over too, when he quit the job in solidarity with his employer Bert Fields who was fired in December 1993.
But the most interesting point in Pellicano’s story is that recently, in August 2011 he spoke in the defense of Michael’s Jackson again. It was in an interview he gave from behind prison bars to a journalist of the Daily Beast. The majority of people think that in that interview Pellicano recanted on his words.
No, he didn’t. He was simply talking about a different thing.
PELLICANO SPOKE OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT
The story by the Daily Beast of August 7, 2011 was intentionally structured to produce the effect that Pellicano knew some unwelcome truth about MJ. In reality the same Daily Beast provided irrefutable proof that in his interview Pellicano was speaking about Michael’s innocence and the dark secret found during his 1993 investigation was about someone else.
Since there is a very big danger that in the wake of Wade Robson’s case someone will be tempted to replace Pellicano’s views on Michael Jackson by those of Barresi (opposite to Pellicano’s), I need to describe here how the Daily Beast did their best to mask the fact that in his prison interview Pellicano supported Michael again.
The trick was simple but practically unnoticeable.
In the Daily Beast article of August 7, 2011 called Hollywood Hacker Breaks His Silence Pellicano was quoted saying that he quit the Chandler case because he had found out some truths. Then he allegedly dropped an ambiguous phrase saying that MJ ‘did something much worse than molestation’.
And in the chart published the same day by the same Daily Beast but only on a different page called Pellicano’s Reach, Pellicano said that he had indeed found some damning evidence, only it was not about MJ, but was about the accuser’s family.
This way those who read the article knew one thing, and those who saw the chart knew another thing. And it never occurred to anyone to bring the two pieces of information together.
However if they did bring them together the true message from Pellicano would read as follows:
- Pellicano did find some truths … and it was damning information about the accuser’s family.
The way the whole thing was done makes me think that it was a deliberate lie told by the Daily Beast journalist who snatched Pellicano’s words from the context and all those ambiguous phrases dropped by her were meant to mask the truth who Pellicano was really talking about.
Please reread the respective piece from the article again and please first take note of the fact that Pellicano warned Jackson that he had better not be guilty or Pellicano would be the first person Michael to “fuck him over”. Knowing Pellicano’s Cicilian temper I easily believe that he would have done it had he really found anything bad about MJ, especially since Pellicano himself is a father of nine children.
Also please take note of the dots in the Daily Beast article which can easily stand for a gap in the journalist’s narration:
“Later in the interview, Pellicano reveals that when he agreed to work for Jackson during the star’s 1993 child-molestation case, he warned Jackson that he’d better not be guilty. “I said, ‘You don’t have to worry about cops or lawyers. If I find out anything, I will f–k you over.’ ” The detective took the assignment, but says, “I quit because I found out some truths . . . He did something far worse to young boys than molest them.”
But he refuses to say anything more about it. It’s as if Pellicano wants to send Hollywood a reminder: I know which closets hold the skeletons.
And here is information from the “Pellicano reach” chart published the same day on the Daily Beast parallel page which contained the actual truth found by Pellicano. The text accompanying point 7 of the chart says:
“Facing molestation charges, Michael Jackson reportedly used Pellicano, who claims he found damning information about the accuser’s family”
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/08/07/pellicano-s-reach.html
To hide the fact that the article about Pellicano’s interview and chart were published on one and the same day (August 7, 2011) the Daily Beast did not place the date on the chart at all. The date of the chart could be found only in its URL and this is what made all this masquarade all the more intriguing:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/08/07/pellicano-s-reach.html
- Note: Now I am told that the link to “Pellicano’s reach” is no longer working. Well, it means that my diagnosis of the plans of Michael’s adversaries is absolutely correct. They are erasing all traces of Pellicano’s support for Michael Jackson and intend to replace him with Barresi who will say the opposite of what Pellicano said.
-
As proof that the Pellicano’s reach chart has been there I’m posting here a screenshot of today’s Google search for it, which shows that only recently the page was there but is no longer available (blocked). It looks like someone doesn’t want the innocent truth about Jackson to be ever known.
- Actually here is a cached version of the chart: http://web.archive.org/web/20110809130148/http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/08/07/pellicano-s-reach.html
As to things “far worse than molestation” any normal person will tell you that nothing can be worse than child molestation (except murder, of course).
So it was either a joke on Pellicano’s part or he was speaking about those families around Michael who initially thought that once they made friends with the famous Michael Jackson they would roll in gold ever since but later found all their hopes shattered into pieces.
When it turned out that MJ couldn’t sustain them for the rest of their lives and instead of fame their children were doomed to carry the label of Michael’s “boys” forever after, this could indeed be a heartbreaking experience for many of them. The children had to grow up in the ruthless atmosphere of media ridicule and harassment from their classmates and intrusive public, and this way Michael’s desire to help or just be a good friend of the family could indeed turn into their worst nightmare, and this experience was probably far more horrible than any molestation.
Other explanations of Pellicano’s words are also possible but all of them will amount to one and the same thing – Pellicano was talking not about molestation and this way even from behind bars Pellicano sent us a clear message of Michael’s innocence.
PELLICANO ALWAYS SAID IT
Pellicano said he quit the 1993 case as he had found the truth – Michael was innocent, the investigation was complete and everything was now in the hands of his lawyers. But the real reason for his leave was of course his disagreement with the new team of MJ’s attorneys who wanted a settlement while Pellicano fiercely insisted on a fight.
Here is what Pellicano said about Michael Jackson throughout all times (it is interesting to see how we came a full circle and what Pellicano said at the beginning was repeated at the end).
On August 7, 2011, the Daily Beast article said:
“He warned Jackson that he’d better not be guilty. “I said, ‘You don’t have to worry about cops or lawyers. If I find out anything, I will f–k you over.’ ”
And the same was said 20 years ago, on August 31, 1993:
Of the molestation charges, the investigator said: “If this was a true and legitimate claim, why didn’t this guy go to law enforcement right off the bat? If you molested my kid, it would take an act of God to keep me from ripping your heart out of your frigging chest.”
http://articles.latimes.com/1993-08-31/news/mn-39718_1_michael-jackson
August 24, 1993:
“People are always trying to extort him for all kinds of reasons because he’s a superstar,” Pellicano said. “I have worked for Michael Jackson for many years and have gone through many of these. “This one just happened to have gone too far. Michael is probably one of the most kind and decent men I’ve ever met, and this is horrible”.
http://articles.latimes.com/1993-08-24/local/me-27332_1_michael-jackson
January 25, 1994 (prior to the settlement):
Amid signs that a lawsuit accusing Michael Jackson of sexually molesting a young boy may soon be settled, prosecutors announced Monday that they will not bring charges against the boy’s father, whom Jackson and his advisers claimed tried to extort money from the entertainer.
Pellicano–who no longer works for Jackson but who still fiercely proclaims the entertainer’s innocence and opposes any effort to settle the civil case–scoffed at that and suggested that prosecutors and lawyers in the civil case are orchestrating an effort to dismiss all the cases.
http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-25/local/me-15027_1_civil-case
January 26, 1994 (the day of the settlement):
“In no way, shape or form does (my resignation) indicate that Michael Jackson is guilty,” Pellicano said. “Michael Jackson is not guilty, and all the things I said in the past I reaffirm.”
Pellicano insisted that he pulled out of the case because it was taking too much of his time and because his investigation was essentially complete. “The investigation has all been done and is now in the hands of the lawyers,” he said. Anthony Pellicano, an outspoken private investigator who worked for Jackson until resigning last month, said the settlement merely reaffirmed his belief that the boy and his family were after the singer’s money. “I have maintained Michael Jackson’s innocence from the very start, and I still maintain that he is innocent,” Pellicano said. “Obviously, there has been an exchange of money to settle this case. It all boils down to money.”
http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-26/news/mn-15478_1_michael-jackson
January 1994 (about the events on July 12, 1993):
After listening to the tape with the mother and stepfather, Fields and Pellicano believed that the father had Jackson spend time at his house only so that he could bug the room the star and Jamie shared….Fields raised that possibility with Jackson. “Michael’s response was completely inconsistent with guilt. When I told him what he said, he was completely unafraid of any tape that might have been made during that week. It was not the attitude of somebody who was worried about what was on the tape.”
Anthony Pellicano decided to go right over to Jackson’s condo and question Jamie [Jordan]. “I went in there with an attitude that I was not going to prove that Michael was innocent. I was going to prove that Michael was guilty.
According to Pellicano, Jamie told him a lot in 45 minutes. “He’s a very bright, articulate, intelligent, manipulative boy.” Pellicano, who has fathered nine children by two wives, says he asked Jamie many sexually specific questions. “And I’m looking dead into his eyes. And I’m watching in his eyes for any sign of fear or anticipation—anything. And I see none,” Pellicano says.
“And I keep asking him, ‘Did Michael ever touch you?’ ‘No.’ ‘Did you ever see Michael nude?’ ‘No.’ He laughed about it. He giggled a lot, like it was a funny thing. Michael would never be nude… . ‘Did you and Michael ever masturbate?’ ‘No.’ ‘Did Michael ever masturbate in front of you?’ ‘No.’ ‘Did you guys ever talk about masturbation?’ ‘No.’
“‘So you never saw Michael’s body?’ ‘One time, he lifted up his shirt and he showed me those blotches.‘” Then Pellicano asked Jackson to come downstairs. “And I sit Michael next to him and go through exactly the same thing,” he says. Pellicano claims they both maintained that nothing happened, and Jamie began to disparage his father. “He’s talking to me about his father never wanting to let him be a boy and never wanting to let him do the things he wants to do. ‘He wants me to stay in the house and write these screenplays.’ … And he said to me several times during this conversation, ‘He just wants money.’ I said, ‘What are you talking about?'”
Then, Pellicano claims, Jamie told him the story, confirmed by Michael, that when Michael was over at his father’s house his father told Michael he really didn’t have the room for him to stay there. “Why don’t you build me an addition?” Then he went and checked with the zoning board, and he couldn’t put the addition on, “so he asked Michael just to build him a whole new house.” Larry Feldman, Jamie’s attorney, calls this story “ludicrous and factually incorrect. I checked with the zoning board, and there are no such restrictions.” Pellicano says he also learned that the dentist wanted to close down his practice and get involved in screenplays with Michael. http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/archive/1994/01/orth199401?currentPage=5
The GQ article by Mary Fischer, October 1994:
Remember, this case was always about money,” Pellicano says, “and Evan Chandler wound up getting what he wanted.”
Was Michael Jackson Framed? by Mary A. Fisсher GQ magazine 1994
And in September 1994 Pellicano spoke with tabloid reporter Jim Mitteager (friend of Barresi).
The tape of this conversation has a story of its own. It was first passed over to Barresi by Mitteager’s widow together with all other tapes in Mitteager’s file, then Barresi gave it to Aphrodite Jones who placed it on her website, but after Aphrodite Jones fell into Barresi’s disfavor (didn’t pay for it?) she had to pull it down from her site. I made a copy of its cashed variant:
PELLICANO: You have to understand something. I have nine kids. Michael [Jackson] plays with my baby. They crawl all over him. They pull his hair. They pull his nose. Sometimes he wears a bandage across his face. If I let my own kids (unintelligible) do you think there’s a chance?
MITTEAGER: Well, all things being equal, I would say, no.
PELLICANO: Not only that. If you sat this kid [Jordie Chandler] down like I did, as a matter of fact, he couldn’t wait to get up and go play video games. I said, “you don’t understand how serious this is. Your dad [Evan Chandler] is going to accuse Michael of sexual molestation. He going to say all kinds of stuff.”
He [Jordie] says, “Yeah, my dad’s trying to get money.” As a matter of fact, I (unintelligible) for 45 minutes. Then I tried tricking him. I mean, I want you to know, I’m a vegetarian. I picked this kid with a fine tooth comb. So we’re there (unintelligible) with this kid… and if you sat down and talked to this kid, there wouldn’t be any doubt in your mind either. And I said Michael is all upset. We went over and over.
I tried to get him to sit down and he wants to play video games while I’m sitting there. I’m sitting there with the kid’s mother [June Chandler] and David Swartrz walks in and (unintelligible) what’s this all about? And [Barry] Rothman (unintelligible) asking questions. There is no question that Rothman (unintelligible) what this is all about.”
What’s absolutely invaluable about this piece is that Pellicano doesn’t know that he is being recorded. He is speaking not for the sake of impressing the public but is just telling things the way he really knows them.
The moral of this chapter is that Pellicano first made sure of Michael’s innocence and only then started defending him. And once he made sure of it he stuck to his words and supported Michael till the end.
And therefore any attempt to present Barresi’s stories about Jackson as Pellicano’s views is the most horrible, insolent and unconscionable LIE.
’24 ABUSED KIDS’
The headline of the June 30, 2013 UK tabloid and the last quote from its article about the so-called ‘FBI’ files suddenly break on its readers a fictional number of “Jacko’s victims”.
The headline gives one number, the quote gives another one, however none of them matter as any number of “victims” is actually a lie.
But the author (James Desborough) doesn’t care. He is so carried away by his story that takes it so far as to claim that MJ was fixated with “child porn”.
First, let us state it once and for all – there was no child porn found in Neverland. If it had been found Michael Jackson would have been put into prison long time ago on this charge alone.
And the rest of Desborough’s article is a no less outrageous lie:
“The paedophile allegations – sandwiched between thousands of pages of information about Jackson, his career and his accusers – include interviews with ex-aides who claim their boss was fixated with child porn.
The files name 17 boys – including five child actors and two dancers – Jacko singled out for abuse. Other kids the singer preyed on include a European boy and the sons of a screenwriter.
At least three boys got hush-money, the investigator said, with the family of one well-known young film actor being given £392,000 “to refrain from any and all contact with media and communications, newspapers, television, radio, film and books”.
The gagging order also insisted there would not be any attempt now or in the future to “extort, intimidate, harass or impede” the Jackson organisation.
A maid who worked for the singer at Neverland was said to have been paid off with about £1.3million after complaining her son had been abused by her employer. And the investigator told of one shocking case of a mother who knew her young son was being molested by Jackson “but turned a blind eye to it because if it didn’t bother him, it didn’t bother her”.
Many of the files on the victims – whose names are not being published for legal reasons – were originally pulled together by lawyers drawing up a list of potential threats to Jackson’s paedophile secret in the early 1990s.
The legal team was scrambled after the dentist dad of 13-year-old Jordan Chandler went public with claims his son had been abused – opening the door to a string of accusations involving other kids.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/michael-jackson-paid-23million-buying-2011662
Whether 24 boys (in the headline) or 17 boys (in the text) where does this crazy number come from? The only source it can come from is Gutierrez’s list of the alleged “victims” which he presented to Diane Dimond and sent to the Los Angeles Police Department in 1993.
Let me remind you that the police took the matter of Chandler’s allegations so seriously that when the news broke out they interviewed Gutierrez for two days running, but then let him go as this clown had absolutely no proof for his stories. The policemen were evidently so disgusted with his lies that they never even mentioned his name ever since (though all of them read his book, including Tom Sneddon).
Gutierrez told us about his fiasco himself in the British GQ magazine of October 2006. He complained that he had sent his findings to LAPD, but they didn’t pay attention, as he was “a nobody for them, just a Latino reporter”….
But how did Gutierrez come to the list of 17 boys? Easily. He simply made rounds of all parents of boys in Michael’s vicinity and told them his crazy stories about Michael – just as he explained it in his book. Remember the way he “interviewed” Joy Robson in 1992?
By the way Joy Robson is the mother whom Desborough describes as the one knew that her son was molested but “turned a blind eye to it, because if it didn’t bother him, it didn’t bother her”.
This great statement enables us to make a couple of interesting conclusions.
If Joy Robson knew all about it and it didn’t bother her because it didn’t bother her son, it means that Wade Robson also knew everything, and his story about ‘amnesia’ or whatever new version he is voicing now is complete BS.
If you recall Gutierrez’s book you will remember that Gutierrez also made it clear that Wade Robson was present when Gutierrez was talking to his mother.
So how could this boy “never realize” that it was “abuse” until he reached age 30 if Gutierrez was telling them that it was already in 1992?
And why did all of them speak of MJ’s innocence at the 2005 trial? If it was a lie told under oath, but now it turns out that she knew of the “molestation” all along and just “turned a blind eye to it”, shouldn’t the mother be the first to go to prison for perjury and for pimping her son?
Joy Robson, I demand answers to these questions.
MICHAIL JACKON ‘FBI’ FILES
Now finally let us have a look at those 6 pages which Desborough and his followers gave a false name of ‘FBI’ files. These ‘files’ may be found on the Daily Mirror site (of course): http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/michael-jackson-paid-23million-buying-2011662
DOCUMENT 1
The first piece is the receipt given to Barresi for passing over the tape with the Lemarque’s revelations to the LAPD on August 30, 1993.
This document actually enabled us to establish Barresi’s identity and proved to us that back in 1993 the authorities were well aware of the Lemarques’ interview which James Desborough attemps to present now as something novel, sensational and top secret.
DOCUMENT 2
The second piece is the receipt given to somebody (Barresi?) in return for 3 more tapes about Jackson recorded on September 9, 1993; December 21, 1993 and January 1-13, 1994.
The interviewees are evidently the same Lemarques as the article told us about “hours and hours of interviews with ex-aides”, but some tapes may also be the recordings of Jim Mitteager’s conversations with Pellicano and the Newt family.
You don’t remember the story of the Newts?
The Fox News article has an excellent material about that family and the conversation Jim Mitteager had with them. In that conversation the tabloid journalist implored the boy and his father to accuse Michael of molestation for the sum of $200,000.
However nothing came of it. Initially the father was tempted by the money but finally tore up the agreement. But though the story went nowhere the tape of Jim Matteager talking to the Newts still remained – first in Pellicano’s and then in FBI’s possession, and the second receipt must be covering that tape too.
Here are some details about Jim Mitteager speaking to one of the Newt brothers:
“He didn’t care! He was like, ‘Just say it and we’ll give you the money.’ And I was like, ‘He [Jackson] never touched me!” Newt said. “He [Mitteager] was really fishing and really digging. Think about it — most people you say it to, ‘We’ll give you this money,’ even [if it’s not true]. And they’d take it.”
Bobby Newt recalled more details of the 30-minute meeting with The National Enquirer’s reporter:
“He was trying to coach me — if I decided to take the money, what would happen. He said ‘You know, it’s going to be a huge scandal. You’ll probably have a lot of people not liking you. You’re going to be famous!’ But to me, you’d be ruined. And the truth is Michael didn’t do anything even close to trying to molest us.”
The 30 minute tape of Newt’s conversation with Jim Mitteager must be part of Document 2 by all means. I wish the Sunday People had published the transcript of that conversation instead of the Lemarques.
DOCUMENT 3
The next document is a sort of a report addressed to Pellicano. It is dated July 26, 1993.
I’ve retyped it so that anyone can translate this great “document” into their own language:

[17 blacked out names]
A detailed analysis of the above manuscript was made by this blog: http://michaeljacksonallegations.com/tag/paul-barresi/, so I won’t repeat what was said there and will just express my own opinion about this paper.
Everything in it makes me wonder. For example, the name of Howard Weitzman.
This paper refers to some alleged settlement and a paper “worked out by Weitzman” already in 1992 – but Weitzman started working for Michael only a year later, in 1993!
Below is an article which explains that Pellicano enlisted Howard Weitzman’s services only on August 21, 1993 when he learned that the police had raided Michael’s property. Pellicano was on a tour together with Michael Jackson and learned of the surprise raid by telephone and it was only after that that he hired Howard Wietzman.
Gloves Come Off in Damage Control by Jackson Camp
September 03, 1993|DAVID FERRELL and CHUCK PHILIPS, TIMES STAFF WRITERS
The instant the phone call arrived, Anthony Pellicano knew there was trouble–possibly big trouble. The caller told him there had been a raid. Police had confiscated photos and videotapes from the homes of the private investigator’s top client, pop superstar Michael Jackson.
For Pellicano, who was accompanying the singer on the Asian leg of a world concert tour, the bombshell was sufficiently jarring to prompt his own phone call moments later to Los Angeles, where it was not yet dawn.
“Wake up,” Pellicano told an old ally, criminal attorney Howard Weitzman, whose high-profile legal battles have been waged on behalf of former auto maker John DeLorean, actress Kim Basinger and, most recently, a Columbia Studios executive rumored to have crossed paths with alleged Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. This time, it was Jackson who needed him, Pellicano said to Weitzman.
As the Aug. 21 police raid threatened to spill the accusations into the public realm, Pellicano sought to act quickly, enlisting Weitzman’s services before flying from Bangkok, Thailand, to Los Angeles.
Strategy for Jackson’s defense, Weitzman said, is being mapped out through constant communication among Weitzman, Pellicano and Jackson’s entertainment attorney, Bertram Fields. “Michael is kept regularly advised,” Weitzman said. “I talk to him almost daily. I know that Anthony and Bert talk to him almost daily.”
http://articles.latimes.com/1993-09-03/news/mn-31256_1_michael-jackson
So what fictional “settlement worked out by Weitzman in 1992” is this paper talking of if this attorney was hired only a year later?
The riddle is easily solved when you realize that the author of the fabrication evidently heard Weitzman’s name in the media in August 1993 when he had just been hired (and when this fake was made) and assumed that Weitzman had always been Michael Jackson’s lawyer – while in reality Michael’s long-time lawyer was civil attorney Bert Fields.
The author of the fake hints that he saw the original of the settlement and is even quoting from it, but says he was unable to obtain a copy of it (and this is supposed to explain why he cannot enclose it as proof of his fake).
But we know that it is a fake not only from Weitzman’s name, but from the simple fact that the “legal” text he is quoting is not even proper English – look at this grammar, for example:
- “In said party of the second part claimant convenants and agreements that it shall.”
Or at this gibberish:
- “Witnesses said, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements to be kept and performed on the part of set parties hereto respectively as here and stated said party of the first part, the organization does hereby covenants and agree that is shall…”
The above is simply a totally meaningless and random choice of words! It probably produces the impression of a legal document but is absolutely not. It is simply illiterate. And someone is telling us that this paper was written by Howard Weitzman?
And this attorney didn’t even know what was the proper name of Michael Jackson’s company and simply said that it was MJ’s “organization”?
No, a mere suggestion that the above may be a sort of an “agreement” with MJ is simply preposterous! It is so big a fake that it is even unreal. But now we at least know from what kind of a crazy document the number of 17 alleged “victims” came from…
DOCUMENT 4
If sorted out by the date the next paper will be the Lemarques’ transcript dated August 28, 1993 about a theatre in Neverland where MJ and children allegedly watched “porn movies”.
Over here I have only one comment. The Lemarques forgot that the movies were shown by MJ’s special staff and that they were not a simple video which could be handled by MJ all by himself – so at the very least there must have been a witness and an accomplice to this activity.
However the witness was missing and there was absolutely no one who could prove this outrageous story. No wonder the police disregarded the Lemarques’ lies. They wanted to embellish them as much as they could, but overdid it to the extent that all these embellishments became their own ruin.
DOCUMENT 5
The next paper is dated December 10, 1993 and is called “Excerpt of conversation Globe Bureau Chief Jim Mitteager and Anthony Pellicano December 10, 1993”. The conversation was recorded secretely as was the habit with Jim Mitteager.
Pellicano is talking of the need to have every story come out before the trial so that nothing takes them by surprise later. This means that he is extremely interested in pulling into light every single story and every single claimant that can claim that he is a victim.
The time of the discussion is December 10th 1993. By now the investigation has been going on for several months, but even at this late stage of the investigation Pellicano says that “there is no other kid”. He says, “They keep looking and looking and calling and calling, and there is no other kid”.
Jim Mitteager asks him (with some hope): “What about Wade Robson?”
Pellicano suggests: “Call her” (evidently meaning Joy Robson)
Jim is in doubt: “Well, she is not going to talk to me”
Pellicano replies: “Well, call her and see what happens”
Jim: Well, we talked about you smoothing the way.
Pellicano: Yeah, I know but…
Isn’t it interesting that Pellicano was so sure of Joy Robson’s good opinion about Michael, that he shrugged his shoulders and actually insisted that the tabloid reporter from the Globe should talk to her?
The text may possibly suggest that Pellicano “smoothed the way” for Joy Robson to support Michael Jackson, but from another source we find out that he didn’t have to as she was speaking in support of Michael Jackson from the very start of it. She was actually the first to defend Michael from any insinuations and take the matter of his defense into her own hands.
The confirmation of this comes from no other but Victor Gutierrez who in his book describes his conversation with Joy Robson in the summer of 1992 after which she complained to Norma Stakos, Michael’s manager and Norma evidently brought the issue to Pellicano’s attention. So Pellicano didn’t have to “smooth” Joy Robson – it was she who was the first to voice her protest against Victor Gutierrez’s activities.
The disappointed Gutierrez called Joy Robson an “opportunist”:
“Joy turned out to be something of an opportunist. She tried to use my interview as a means of making good Jackson’s promise of the “good life.” The next day, Joy called the manager at Neverland Ranch, Norma Staikos… Joy told Norma that a journalist had an abudance of information and was asking questions about the relationship between Jackson, her son and other boys. She explained that the journalist was writing a book about Jackson on the subject of his being a pedophile.
Joy told her that the journalist knew where Wade was and he would return to continue with the conversation.”
After reading texts like these it would be all the more interesting to talk to Joy Robson. Where is this esteemed lady now and why is she keeping silence?
DOCUMENT 6
Now comes the last document out of the great Sunday People file. It is called an “investigative report” sent by someone to Pellicano. And if all the previous documents could simply surprise you this one will simply knock you off your feet.
Why?
Let’s have a look at the dates here.
The paper is about a parent who got $20,000 for her Hard Copy interview and who was escorted by detectives on March 2nd. This clearly refers to Blanca Francia as she was the one who spoke to Hard Copy (in November 1993).
On March 2, 1994 she could be escorted only by her lawyers who were starting to prepare a civil suit against Jackson. After learning of the Chandlers’ success in January that year Blanca Franca decided to step on the money extortion road too and actually got what she wanted.
The November 1993 date is okay as at that time Anthony Pellicano was still investigating the case. But the paper is written the next day after March 2, 1994 when Pellicano had already stopped working for the case by several months, so how can it be addressed to Pellicano if he quit his job so long ago?
This means that either the paper is a complete fake or Pellicano went on sleuthing on Michael after he stopped working for him.
If it is a fake let’s throw it away without spending a single more minute on it. But if Pellicano continued sleuthing on Michael even after he quit the job let us focus on this point as it produces all the more proof that Pellicano was very thorough in his job and wanted to know the truth just for himself.
To learn what Pellicano found out as a result of all his spying on Jackson all you need to do now is compare this “investigative report” of March 1994 with the transcript of Pellicano’s conversation with Jim Mitteager half a year later – the one that was dated September 1994 and provided by Barresi to Aphrodite Jones (see above please).
This small comparison will tell you all you need to know about Pellicano’s final conclusion about Michael as a result of spying on him for another 9 months after he officially stopped working for him (if we are to believe this document of course).
And from this second Pellicano’s conversation secretely recorded by Jim Mitteager in September 1994 we learn that after a whole year of investigating Michael, Pellicano still didn’t have a single shred of evidence against MJ.
This will automatically nullify all those 17 “victims” in the first paper and the story about Blanca Francia allegedly “eye-witnessing” some children molested in her presence – because all those things were mentioned in some dubious documents before Pellicano spoke to Jim Mitteager in September 1994.
And all the “facts” stated in those earlier documents had already been looked into by the time Pellicano had a frank conversation with Mitteager and made it clear to him that he had absolutely nothing against Jackson.
And by the way how on earth could anyone ever believe this “investigative report” which claims that Blanca Francia “eye-witnessed” some children being molested in her presence if in her 2005 testimony she said that she never saw MJ have any sexual contact with any child at all?
Here is just one quote from her testimony (of which we have a lot) where she repeats her “No” twice:
27 Q. But you did say under oath that you had
28 never saw Mr. Jackson have sexual contact with
1 anyone, right?
2 A. No. No.
Will there be any more questions about these ‘FBI’ files, guys?

Hi Helena,
Thanks so much for clarifying that. It makes a lot of sense now. Like you said it’s definitely possible that he knows who’s pulling the strings when it comes to this ridiculous attempt to destroy MJ forever. I recall a tweet a few weeks ago and it was about a lawyer claiming that Geffen, Oprah, Weinstein, Levin from TMZ and Gayle King had financed Leaving Neverland. It sure wouldn’t surprise me at all.

The Hollywood reporter is the example of exactly the same twist of words. See the context in which they put the alleged Pellicano’s words about Michael Jackson:
The above is a classic example of manipulation. Let’s go sentence by sentence:
Pellicano surely regards with distaste many Hollywood figures, and certainly those of them who contributed to his sentence in prison. But the example of MJ is made by Hollywood Reporter and not Pellicano. Pellicano never looked at Michael with distaste and as far as I remember called him one of the most decent people he ever knew.
There were some reports that Pellicano worked for MJ already in 1992, so the year 1993 may not be correct, but the main lie here is about the “firing” issue. When Bert Fields was indeed fired by Howard Wiezman for his somewhat risky strategy in defending Michael Jackson (Fields wanted the criminal trial to go before the civil case and to this end announced that Michael’s indictment could be expected any day, which was not true) – so when Fields was fired Pellicano left too, of his own free will and in protest against the strategy employed by MJ’s new attorney Johnny Cochran. Pellicano and Fields wanted to fight and didn’t want a settlement, while Johnny Cochran wanted the case to be settled as soon as possible (some say it was because he also had the OJ Simpson case on his hands and was in a hurry).
If Pellicano was disgusted by anything it was the strategy of MJ’s new lawyers, as he himself wanted to fight and defend Michael’s innocence in court. Also please note how the phrase is worded and how it connects the “dark truths” with “Jackson’s molestation scandal” though Pellicano could easily find (and did find) dark truths in the circumstances around MJ’s case. Most probably he even knows who is standing behind the smear campaign against Jackson. And he proves that the dark truth was not about Jackson in the very next sentence:
So even for half a million Pellicano did not agree to tell lies about Jackson!
It is another example that Pellicano knows about the plot against Jackson, but to his regret has to decline answering those questions. Disclosing this information is definitely too dangerous for him, and after so many years in prison he doesn’t want to take any risks.
No matter what they say Pellicano looks like a man of honor and man of his word. So the worst fallacy MJ fans could make would be falling into the traps set for them by the media. I dream of a time when people are able to see through the media lies immediately, just as soon as they are told.

Why do you think that the Daily Beast interview was made up? It did take place in 2011, only Pellicano’s words were reported in an extremely twisted way. One article called “Pellicano’s Reach” said that he “found damning evidence” in MJ’s case, and the chart published the very same day in the same Daily Beast said that he found “damning evidence about the accuser’s family”, which changed the meaning of the first article into the opposite. However the chart disappeared very soon after that, and now the first article is gone too.
What the whole thing is really damning evidence of is that the media know that they lie about Michael Jackson and try to remove traces of their lies if the public notices them.

Thank you Helena for the response. Yeah I had read everything about him today on here and then I also found the article by NY Times and they refer to The Hollywood Reporter. I did a search on them and it seems they are owned by Billboard, and they are quite hellbent right now on promoting Leaving Neverland as much as they can, it’s crazy. It seems very likely this Hollywood Reporter twisted his words, the media is no stranger to doing such things.
I also did a YouTube search on MJ and Pelicano and found one video where it was claimed he had said last year that he had dirt on MJ. Also that he was offered 500k to sell the story but he denied the tabloid. This was in the description of the video and it was as if he actually said that in quote marks. It’s very likely all made up.
And yep, Pelicano always defended MJ. So what this source now claims that he says he quit the case because he found out about darker truths is total nonsense. Unless he has turned into a backstabber but we can always easily discredit it because we have the docs of him where he says he isn’t resigning because he thinks MJ was guilty, not at all. If he was to go the backstabbing route, I would assume he claims he found new things after his resignation. But let’s not jump to those conclusions. Some fans on forums already condemn him, call him a scumbag, that now he’s out of prison he has reason to turn on him because he needs money. And I’m like… no…it’s not like he was poor when he was arrested, why would he be now? They should know better than to think the worst automatically and certainly not take media crap at face value.

Now the NYTimes claims the following about Pellicano:
This is a big lie. Even after he resigned from the 1993 case Pellicano said that he believed in Michael Jackson’s full innocence, and said it not once or twice, but on numerous occasions.
As to the enigmatic phrase he dropped in that prison interview – that “MJ did something far worse that molest them” – it could mean anything, just anything, from a joke to the media twisting his words. Most probably the latter, because the Daily Beast which published it also wrote that Pellicano found some “damning information” implying it to be about Michael Jackson. However in the very same issue, the same day, the Daily Beast also published a chart of Pellicano’s clients with information in very small print that Pellicano found damning information about the accuser’s family.
Not Jackson, but the family of Jordan Chandler – which makes all the difference in the world. Later the chart was deleted, but I saved a copy of it.
Unfortunately it means that most of the media tell heavy lies about Michael Jackson – then and now, and at all times (or are afraid to tell the truth about him).
And the longer it takes, the more convinced we are that it is an orchestrated campaign against Jackson. The media themselves provide proof of it, and if you come to think of it this knowledge is precious too. It tells us of the world we live in.

Pellicano has very powerful enemies, so I’m not sure he will blow the lid off Hollywood.
In early 2002 Pellicano was retained by Michael Ovitz to investigate the activities of his foes against him, namely David Geffen and journalist Bernard Weinraub (Geffen’s friend) who wrote numerous articles for the New York Times ridiculing Ovitz.
Another journalist heavily criticising Ovitz was freelance journalist Anita Busch who wrote for the NY Times and LA Times. Ovitz suspected foul play and approached Pellicano to investigate. According to Ovitz Pellicano brought him valuable information.
However in November 2002 Pellicano’s office was suddenly raided by the FBI on a tip from a “jail informant” that Pellicano was behind a certain incident with Anita Busch (a dead fish, a rose and a cardboard sign “Stop” were placed on the windshield of her car). This was enough for the FBI to raid Pellicano’s office. Before that raid Pellicano had never been arrested or charged with a crime. Some weapons were found in his office as well as explosives (which according to some reports Pellicano claimed not to belong to him).
About a year later Pellicano was sentenced to 27 to 32 months in federal prison. On the day before he was scheduled for release in February 2006, he was hit with the federal wiretapping indictment. In 2008 Pellicano went on trial.
This article https://deadline.com/2008/04/ovitz-now-on-pellicano-witness-stand-5433/ contains pieces of Ovitz’s testimony at the 2008 trial about why he hired Pellicano:
Pellicano was sentenced to 15 years in prison. I personally find it very interesting that David Geffen considered both Michael Ovitz and Michael Jackson his foes, and both paid a big price for it. And also that Ovitz hired Pellicano, who provided him with valuable information about Ovitz’s foes, and soon after Pellicano was also prosecuted, first in one case and then, immediately after, in another.
In any case the world seems to be a very small place, because you constantly encounter the same people here – Pellicano, Michael Jackson, David Geffen, Bernard Weinraub, Pellicano, Michael Ovitz, David Geffen, Bernard Wienraub and so on.

I read that Pellicano is soon to be released and apparently ready to blow the lid off of Hollywood. I now wonder if he’s gonna share proof about the Chandlers maybe? I do find that quote about MJ having done something far worse than molesting a child very farfetched, especially after he told Michael he would f him over if he ever found out he was guilty. We don’t have concrete proof at all that he even said that, do we? The fact that Dailybeast didn’t include it in that chart says a lot too. Probably just another example of media twisting words.

Sina, you right I may never talked to MJ, but isn’t it MJ’s life open book? The good and the bad all his privet life is in public, especially after CM and AEG trial. Some of his life journey is even well documented for example his, medical and finance record and all on public, so you don’t need to know how he sound or smell or talk to him, you could learn from others about him.
Every person who was close to him for long time especially on his last 15 or 20 years of his life, all they know about him is on public, they put it out there, which I still think his family did not know all that from him, they themselves said they are not close as a family, listen there interviews.
MJ mentioned many times that he did not want to be close to his father and he wasn’t how the family will know everything from him if they are not very close to him? His brothers were not close to him as they were growing up. As Janet said, I believe they lose him for long time.
Sina, I say this because not only I heard from friends and co-workers who was close to him final years of his life, I have also impression from him and his sister Janet and brothers interview.
Janet Jackson said on the interview ‘I am not close to Joe’, that mean something to me about the family.
Michael also said on the interview” I love my father but I don’t know him”. Actually, God bless MJ, because he is trying to say not bad thing about his family as match as he could but they did say unpleasant thing about him in past. I heard Jemiays interview and Latoyas book etc.
Yes, I can say I heard saying things from their mouth about each other. I don’t mean they don’t love him, but they are not close to him lately and so many things passed in MJ’s life the last 15/20 years which they don’t know much about it. Randy’s deposition was a perfect example for that.
Janet Jackson on Oprah show she said Michael and her were close when they were kids and said she start losing him around/after Thriller. That speaks a volume about their closeness as a family. Ophra asked her if she is closest to him but Janet said reputedly “growing up” she meant they were close when they grow up not lately.
Sina, if you are away for few years from your family, they will miss a lot about you and what was going on in your life within that few years, so it is very easy to miss it. So I believe that, for some reason, they did not know much about him in the last years of his life. If they were close to him, they all should experience that especially around early 2000.
I wish they were their when he was crying alone , scared, ill and I wish they were there when he was emotionally and physically struggling alone, instead they were chasing him for their own benefit, please listen Wishna’s interview. Peoples who were working with him on the final week of his life knew how sick he was not his family.

@Sina, really, what has Michael’s earlier life with his family to do with his later life when he had some distance to them and had his own children? And what have these feelings among family members you describe to do with real facts?
If you talk of second hand information you mean that nothing can be believed that was not said by Michael himself? So why believe what family members say?
There were people who were much more around Michael on a daily basis than his family members in his last years, and you still think that his family members know more about him? This is not logic.
And if several security people say that Michael didn’t want to see his father or brothers, what reason would they have to lie? Even Dieter Wiesner, who is friends with Joe Jackson, tells in his book that Michael didn’t want to see his father in Las Vegas because he always wants to press him into some business and interviews (for the benefit of Joe!)
And if we heard only in hindsight that Michael’s mother called AEG because of the schedule, so what? We always knew that Michael and his mother were close, so that’s not surprising, she always was welcome in his house.
Well, if everyone just chooses what they believe (and BTW, you seem to do the same), then we can stop writing on this blog, because this says that people are not capable to differentiate between feelings, assumptions, ideas, hearsay, rumors and facts and evidence. So you say that what we do here is reducing Michael’s 50 years of life to what we have read or heard about him? So in the end we know nothing because we didn’t hear all of it from Michael himself? So our work is in vain?
Frankly, this is a weak argumentation.

And inbetween other scumbags like Klein who kept him on demerol for cosmetic procedures that no other ethical doctor would do( I checked it and no doctor gives demerol for cosmetic procedures especally not with Michaels history) all the people he called friends including Uri Geller who sold him to Bsshir, Klein and others claiming paternity of his children.and now we have Scaffel and Rowe – again!.This is only a short list, not even including the AEG criminals.

Anyone who has not spoken to Michael in person has their information second hand .Meaning you read it or heard it through a third party not from him. And the information you have , true or false -is not exclusive or secret . So how do you know that on top of knowing him personally they do not read or see the same information you read?.And know many more people that you have never even heard about because they are not known to the public.
Its not only prersumptious but even laugable if you think you know more than them .
Ofcourse he would not tell his family or anyone else for that matter certain things , such as Murrays presence in his house. The only ones who knew were his staf ( ironically his bodyguards knew and how they guarded him!) and AEG because they hired him.
But did you know before the trial that his mother had warned AEG against the schedule they were forcing on him. No, you heard it HINDSIGHT, in court. I am sure there is much more that was not adressed in court that his family knows and you dont.
Between all the stories that did come out everyone CHOOSE what they believe and its usually what backs up your opinion. That is anyones prerogative.
But do not reduce Michaels 50 years of life to what you have read or heard about him.

I was surprised about Randy Jackson deposition too, actually I found out that the fan know better about MJ than some of MJ’s family member.
Specially, about his health and his struggle of pain killer independency, only his mom knows about his problems, because she knows he was not addicted as his brothers think he was.
she was visiting him regularly and also she knows he took treatment and also probably he more open to her than the rest of the family. She knows he has vitiligo she did confirm that in public, but I didn’t hear from other family members. In contrast we know what Lotoya and Jennet Jackson said about MJ when he was facing the terrible allegation 1993, if they really did know their brother, they should not say that about him in public.
Of course family is family no matter what, but did they know everything what was going on in MJ life? I would say I don’t think so.
His father, brothers and sisters did not have clue what happened to MJ, they only know from rumour and tabloid story. That is why Rondy’s deposition sound difficult to believe. Because they have got together for some occasion or seeing him ones a while, it doesn’t mean they know about him.

Sina, what are you trying to say? That you don’t believe the bodyguards? Well, it is your right though I don’t understand the reason why you should be so insistent that they are not credible. Or let me make a guess – it is because these bodyguards may say something about the Jacksons in their book?
It is not only what I THINK I know. It is what I indeed know – for example about Randy Jackson who didn’t know the simplest things about Michael and showed it in his deposition at the AEG trial. It was “No” to everything – he didn’t remember even if he spoke with Michael in 2009, he didn’t know of his insomnia problem, he didn’t have a clue about a series of operations on Michael’s head after the burn, he always heard about Michael’s drugs from someone else – nanny Grace or Leonard Rowe for example, and he went to Carolwood to interfere not even knowing what it was about.
It may surprise you, but I do know more than Randy about some periods of Michael’s life – for example about the spring of 2009, because I analyzed what drugs were given to Michael by Klein day by day and know how much Demerol was given on which day and why.
All those injections were made as painkillers for proper procedures and I even know of a crisis moment when Michael had complications from injections under his armpits and in his groin against excessive sweating during his dance. The crisis came in the mid and end of April which is when Leonard Rowe most probably noticed “something” and he and producer Terry Harvey made a sort of an ultimatum to Joe Jackson – an intervention or there would be no concert with AllGoodEntertainment.
As a result Randy and Joe went to break into Carolwood to “make an intervention” having no idea what was going on, but were not allowed in by the bodyguards. However the point is that Michael didn’t need any intervention – the treatment by Klein was subsiding on its own and he was given less and less Demerol during procedures anyway.
Here are the details of the treatment provided to Michael by Klein: https://vindicatemj.wordpress.com/2014/01/29/this-is-it-tour-demerol-and-michael-jacksons-visits-to-dr-kleins-office-part-1-of-2/

Most people , men and women who got to know Michael speak about him with genuine love and respect. But that is something different than a love interest.
There is a big difference in how LisaMary talks about Michael , the good and the bad talk- which only someone who got to know the man unguarded , in private with flaws and all can allow herself – and how Ruska and even karen Faye who had known him for decades talks about him. I had never before heard about Ruska untill I read her interview which is what I mean by going public.
Interesting that you are so ademant about what you know or THINK to know what the Jacksons know about Michael. While you yourself have never been anywhere near Michael. A little reality check will not hurt.
Everyone can take from the body guards story what they want, any opinion is as good as the other. Ive been around long enough to know that Michael was no wallflower dont need bogus stories to confirm that.

Yes, Frank Cascio mentioned those fan relationships of Michael’s. But I am absolutely sure that the family knew nothing about them. The fact is that the family knew nothing of Michael at all. Michael surely loved them but kept them at a distance.
I was about to write about it in connection with a certain Terry Harvey who was in cooperation with Joe Jackson in the last months of Michael’s life. Terry Harvey is the worst thing that could ever happen to Michael or anyone at all. He was the one who spread stories in the media about Michael being a drug addict and who convinced the Jacksons’ family that this was the case. And they believed this scumbag though he had nothing to prove his theory with except his visual observation of Michael.
He saw him weak, tired and depressed sometime in April-June 2009, but instead of finding out what the real reason for it was (for example, lack of sleep or Conrad Murray feeding Michael with benzodiazepines) he announced to the whole world that it was the result of narcotics.
He kept telling horrible stories both to the media and Jacksons, and since he was presented himself as the family “insider”, the media regarded them as first-hand information from the Jacksons. However the most the Jacksons themselves knew was from this Terry Harvey again.
Harvey was to arrange a concert with AllGoodEntertainment and put as a condition for it that Michael should go to a rehab and it was for this reason that Joe Jackson wanted to break into Michael’s home. It never occurred to them that Terry Harvey was simply slandering Michael and doing it in the worst and cynical manner possible.
Joe Jackson was probably a victim to Terry Harvey’s stories himself, but it was his and his family’s fault that they swallowed Terry Harvey’s stories hook, line and sinker – while they should have known better than believe the first person who came their way and should have been of better opinion of their own son and brother Michael.
One day I’ll probably write about it with all the documents attached to prove what I’m saying. And if I haven’t made this post about Terry Harvey and Joe Jackson yet, it doesn’t mean that I don’t know what they did to Michael. I do.

So what? And why would the bodyguards lie about it?
I don’t agree. When I recently reread her account of him I was very much impressed by her words. They sound like genuine love and admiration.
Quote: “My phone rang on New Years. I picked up the phone and heard someone singing opera. I was completely baffled. I asked who it was and Michael responded, “Who do you think it is?” – He was very shy and I can’t even describe how gentle he was. But his talent, voice, music and charisma can’t be surpassed.” “The more I watched him, the more I loved him. He was simply magic. He was the most noble person in the world. No man on Earth can compare to his inner and outer beauty. I met so many stars, talked to them, worked with them, but no one was even close to Michael’s charisma. He was simply always ahead of everyone else” “The window of the limo would go down and Michael – guarded by six bodyguards in there – would wave at me and call me over. We loved and respected each other.” “He always asked me where I was hiding so long. A man like that will never come by again.”
The last time she saw him was two weeks before his death. She was at his house five days in a row. “He was truly beautiful. As always, he was the gentlest person on the planet. It seemed almost as if he was ‘ours’ [of her own nation]. But Michael was so unusual, his warmth and love completely got me.”
Sina, as far as I understand Ruska doesn’t want anything of the Jacksons or anyone at all. And she didn’t “go public about him”. No woman, even Lisa-Marie Presley, is “going public” about him in the way others former ex-wives or girlfriends do. All these women respect his wish to keep it as private as it is only possible. And this can mean only one thing – they loved him so much that they respect his wish even when confronted by all the media in the world.

I’ve said it many times and will repeat it again that the message to the National Enquirer board was most probably sent by Bill Bray, head of Michael’s security for many years. At the moment of the message he was very old but he was still in contact with MJ and actually Michael paid for his upkeep even after he stopped working for him. Soon after that message was published Bill Bray died.
Actually the person who kept up correspondence with the author of this message is Belinda and she knows his name (which she didn’t disclose to me). She is the author of this blog: http://michaelandthetruth.blogspot.ru/2012/06/ladies-in-michaels-life-part-2.html, so if you are insistent enough she will probably tell you.
I wasn’t insistent because I didn’t want her to break her promise not to disclose his name, and in my opinion it could be only Bill Bray anyway.

If Michael was secretive about his lovelife, and didnt want his children to know he was meeting someone, or 2 women, one in a 3th rate hotel of all places (do you believe that?), then why is it a bodyguards business to put Michaels secrets out for his children to hear.and open for speculation and insinuation – eg that a 50 year old man didnt want his mother to know because she didnt like it due to his fathers behavior. Wow.
Furthermore It is a generic story that could have been told by anyone about anyone. There is no way to verify it, it is not specific and It ads nothing whatsoever to Michaels legacy or understanding.. Like the Halperin fables, but this one to cater to fans who will buy anything that in their opinion proves that Michael iwas a redblooded man. As if he need stories of secret or double dating to confirm that.
Moriarity wrote down what the bodyguards told her as well as other copy pasted stories I bet she never researched or double checked any of it.
Ruska sounds like a good friend, not like how one would describe a lover especially not one you want to keep a secret. And she is not the dropdead gorgeous as described by the bodyguards, but ofcourse beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
If there had been a serious relationship, the Jacksons would have reached ot to Ruska since she went public about him,or to anyone for that matter and they would have welcomed that person with open arms. Like they did anyone who they , often wrongly thought were friends of Michaels.

Rodrigo, what post of Frank Cascio are talking about? His book where he mentions Michael’s women?
Frankly, I think that at the age of 50 sons no longer pay attention to what their mothers think of their love life. It seems to me that Michael had so little privacy in his life that his relations with women were a safe harbor where he tried to enjoy the luxury of not being in the spotlight. He was like a small child who needed a secret place which no one could enter and where he could look at the treasures he had collected in his secret box.
Those who pretend to be stars use every opportunity to be in the limelight as they keep up their “star status” this way – as long as tabloids talk about them they feel they are still afloat. But those who are real stars try to enjoy as much privacy as they can. Did Schumacher ever parade his love life? I don’t think so. The same with Michael.

But all this, it’s pretty fitting to his own private accounts and the post Frank Cascio wrote.
The privacy he had with this type of lifestyle, which I believe us true – is not just about the media. A lot of it, I suspect, is for the sake and respect he had for his mother. He didn’t want Katherine knowing that about him. He was only human, of course. But he knew his mother didn’t like any of that, due to Joseph’s behaviour. He must’ve certainly didn’t want to hurt her like that.

Very interesting, Rodrigo. The Friend and Flower women were also described by Karen Moriarty who spoke to those two bodyguards.
It always surprised me that Michael had a pattern of behavior totally different from other celebrities – his love life was kept as private and well-guarded as it was only possible, while his friendship with people was never a secret. With various families and their children he went out publicly and was seen and photographed with them a thousand times, but of the women with whom he was intimate we know nothing. So he was quite serious when he said “Keep it in the closet”.
This pattern is important because once we realize it, we understand that when Michael was indeed in love and an intimate relationship, he hid it from those around him. And when he did not hide anything, there was no intimacy involved. Now remember his child friends – he practically paraded his friendship with them! Why? Because, following Michael’s pattern, there was nothing to hide.

Hi Ettelra, thank you very much. I’m fine, only extremely nervous about what’s going on with my nation now. Hope they will soon come to their senses.
As regards this paper I think that it comes from a huge pile of information posted by Tia on her twitter account. As far as I understand Tia has made a comment on this particular document:
Though the complainant did lose the case I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some truth behind her words. The first thing that attracts attention is Evan Chandler’s overuse of intravenous sedation. This, as we know, very much fits with Evan’s own words about his practices – he gave Sodium Amytal to his son, he gave narcotics to Carrie Fisher, he even gave Toradol to Michael when he invited MJ to his home and interrogated him under the effect of the drug. All this is highly unusual for a doctor and extremely unprofessional too. And this is just what we know, so there may be much-much more to that.
Carrie about Evan Chandler:
Chandler was also very much a womanizer with a tendency for abuse. He had some complexes about women – this we know from his conversation with David Schwartz. Tia’s documents say that he assaulted his wife Natalie (at least once) though she was the one who supported him with money. To deal with the suit of this and other patient (as well as his own suit against Jackson for $60mln) Natalie lent him more than $400,000 which he returned to her only after she had to sue him too.
Natalie’s court papers say that even prior to her lawsuit Evan had absolutely no interest for their children – he didn’t support them and had no desire to see them. The children didn’t understand it and had to go to therapy to deal with their father’s rejection of them.
In short Evan was well below the norm. But we knew it long ago.
Tia posted all these documents on her twitter account. I want to analyze them one by one, but first will ask Tia to publish her own findings herself as she actually paid her own money for those documents. I invited her to make posts in this blog if she wants to.
