Obviously we all know that, Michael Jackson is one of the most popular, the most famous and the most loved celebrity in the world – not just as a celebrity, but also as a person. Due to his epic eras, record-breaking performances & achievements, and also his overall behaviour & personality with his fans and others despite having a traumatic past & a difficult childhood, he is still known as “The King of Pop”.

However, no person in the world is fully without haters. Because, success often attracts those who can’t achieve the best for themselves, and instead of trying, they rather commit much worse crimes and always stay insecured, jealous and mentally sick. Similarly, despite having more than 4.8 billion fans even before the existence of social media, Michael Jackson (MJ) had some haters.

The hatred, jealousy, bullying and toxic attitude towards MJ started small. Since his childhood, he was subjected to severe child abuse and rigorous child labour in a twisted, unhealthy household where his father, Joseph Jackson (in short Joe Jackson) abused him physically, verbally and mentally. In addition, he was even frequently insulted, belittled, bodyshamed and critised with cruel names like “ugly boy”, “fat nose”, “pizza face”, and “his father’s money making machine” which severely impacted Jackson’s self-esteem and added to his lifelong body dysmorphia. To his father, money and fame were more important than his family.

Now, the media, show hosts and others took advantage of it. Then, tabloids and the mainstream press relentlessly mocked his physical transformation, plastic surgery, skin bleaching and whitening, vitiligo-induced skin lightening, and his eccentric, child-like behavior. Even after MJ cleared the facts that some problems in his nose & severe vitiligo destroying his whole body & skin were the reasons he had to undergo plastic surgery and skin whitening procedures, the media shamelessly accused him of insecured and even as a “racist” who was desperate to become from black to white. He was also regularly called embarrassing nicknames like “Wacko Jacko” in the press – a derogatory moniker he despised.

Besides taking advantages of his childhood trauma and grilling him about his facial features, the major television interviews often asked him invasive, inappropriate and insulting questions. For instance, in his famous 1993 interview, Oprah Winfrey was retarded enough to literally sexualize a normal, random hand placement – a part of MJ’s dance moves, also questioned his virginity like a total bonehead by bluntly asking questions like, “Why do you always grab your crotch? We think you got a thing with your crotch going on”. Some other celebrities such as Eminem, who was already kind of infamous for his misogynistic mindset and rude character, had the nerve to use MJ as a punchline. He made a song and released its music video (MV) named “Just Lose It” in 2004, making fun of Jackson’s appearance, his nose, legal troubles, sufferings in his personal life and even the pyrotechnic accident in the 1984 Pepsi commercial like a complete jerk in the excuse of “entertainment/silly joke/part of his Slim Shady persona” (or, we should say, Stupid Shitty persona and a very lame way to excuse himself from the accountability of explaining himself). Also, although Pepsi was careless enough to be responsible for MJ’s second- and third-degree scalp burns, they didn’t even hesitate to turn down MJ in every way they could after hearing the fake accusations about him.

Things gradually started to escalate when during the 1990s, particularly around the HIStory album & tour, the spiteful media twisted his simple grandiose artistic expression into a narcissistic PR strategy meant to silence detractors and control the narrative. Additionally, the haters being “critics and observers” misinterpreted the powerful display of his artistic empathy in many of his performances as a calculated “proxy cult Jesus” persona designed to evoke worship and deflect from growing controversies, only because they often saw featured religious or messianic imagery there. The media even tried to bash him and his reputation by making up straight up lies and eccentric rumors about Michael Jackson having “dark fantasies” of buying the Elephant Man’s (Joseph Carey Merrick’s) bones. One time, MTV targetted MJ for a pathetic, unfunny public “prank” only to humiliate him with a “special” birthday cake and a decorative award named “Artist of the Millennium”, which never existed in the first place. Accordingly, when MJ was delivering a heartfelt speech, only then he came to know that, it was just “a birthday tribute”. After this unexpected, disappointing public humiliation, MJ reportedly had to leave the ceremony early, feeling hurt and heartbroken.

Worst of all, the situations drastically worsened and took a sad, dark turn when Michael Jackson was accused of being a pedophile. Not only that, Michael was also accused of grooming, child sexual abuse, child molestation and even intoxicating a minor, involving a different 15-year-old boy. To make things worse, the Arivzo & Cascio families betrayed Michael, backstabbed him by blaming him of pedophilia, draining Jackson like a leech for some money and their own selfish gains. Some more individuals including Wade Robson & James Safechuck also alleged MJ of abusing them for years when they were children. Of course, all these claims were behind a pay wall, baseless attempts to extract money and advantages. Even then, the police kept MJ in their custody, beat him, humiliated him, tortured him and treated him like a criminal. The show hosts and companies like, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Martin Bashir, Tommy Mottola, Sony and many others literally made his life a living hell.

All of these above-mentioned incidents happened to MJ because of a number of reasons. Firstly, of course, the media, show hosts, the other contemporary celebrities and many more were extremely jealous of MJ, his personality, his achievements, popularity and success. Secondly, they were insecured, narrow-minded, toxic, hateful and mentally problematic enough to start showing unnecessary hate to MJ out of nowhere without any reason instead of just working hard, doing good deeds, helping and appreciating each other, just like Michael. If those people were just honest and genuine in their work like MJ, then they would be much more prosperous than they are today by indulging themselves in illegal activities, in the astray.

Most importantly, MJ had discovered their evil plans and their most inhuman conspiracies against the entire humanity in the world a long time ago. He actually came to know everything about how the music frequencies are deliberately increased to control our minds, how music is still used to convey secret messages & codes related to conspiracies, and how lots of music & dance moves in the music industry are actually parts of Satanic rituals. All these make more sense when he indirectly made it clear, when he was trying to warn us about the real criminals against humanity, the devil/Satan-worshippers and their “masterplans” through his songs & MVs.

The release of the Epstein files in reality just confirmed the fact that everything MJ was trying to tell us was absolutely true. All along, Michael Jackson was doing everything he could to save us from the lies and prove these truths to us that, he was never a pedophile and never hurt children; rather children loved him & he loved them. They wanted to be with him, and he also wanted to be with the children because they always felt safe and happy with him, just the way he felt with the kids. All of them who falsely accused MJ of such cheap, vile acts were the ones who were in the files. He pointed out that it’s actually Epstein and his acquaintances/partners (those who are mentioned in the files) are the ones who are the real pedophiles, the real sex traffickers and offenders. All these are just the part of the “mastermind” plan they have made against humanity to have authority and control over all of us just for their own wins. Hence, they all are part of the cult, all of them are the followers of the demonic rituals and the worshippers of Satan.

MJ also narrates that, he was like an obstacle in their way to success of their pathetic, horrific, disgusting plans. They could never desensetize us or normalize the defected, cursed system amongst us because of him. That’s why, they were trying everything they could to stop him from exposing themselves and their real, sick intentions. They first tried to belittle and humiliate MJ in order to silence him. When their first step failed, then they took bigger steps of spreading obvious rumours about him to shut him down. Yet, MJ was unstoppable, as always, and their plans were not working at all. Lastly, they used their final steps and “trump card” of defaming him of having pedophilia, that is, putting all the blames of their own actions in his name. They used some of his normal work-photos and mostly photoshopped pictures of him that he was also in the Epstein Islands with Epstein himself. As if he was also engaged in similar activities of Epstein. They even claimed that he also made Neverland for child sexual abuse & sex trafficking of especially women & children. Among so many names mentioned multiple times in the files, only his name is used repeatedly, continuously when it comes to the Epstein files, thus, trying to change the topic by using an innocent, good man like him as a “scapegoat”. As if, he is the only bad guy here, and the rest are all innocent. Still today, in many shows, MJ is portrayed and done dirty as a predator, while indirectly protecting and not mentioning the actual predators like Epstein. Also, when it comes to the actual predators like them, the double-standard attitude, hypocrisy of the media then tries to convince us that “pedophilia is not a crime, it’s actually just a mental disorder”.

Despite MJ being proven innocent on all 14 counts in total, the media, show hosts, some celebrities and the other bootlickers of this corrupt, evil system had the sheer audacity to shamelessly, desperately try hard enough to depict and prove him guilty, scary and evil. They even sexualized normal, casual children’s sleepovers and hangouts in his place in Neverland only to show him suspicious and guilty. They continued to frame him in these controversies by searching everything everywhere, in every corner, turned his whole house down despite getting nothing, just to prove him guilty even if by means of force. They hid themselves behind their masks, pretended to be the “good people” while distracting everyone, diverting everyone from the actual problems with the help of the false accusations and allegations against Michael Jackson. Still, MJ was officially acquitted and found not guilty, that is, he was proven innocent on 13 June, 2005. At last, the system killed him in the name of “accidental” acute intoxication of powerful surgical anesthetic and several sedatives. His doctor was among the main culprits responsible for his untimely death. In his last days, MJ was afraid of this very incident, and he warned us that he would soon get killed by an “accidental overdose”, the excess amount of dose enough to kill an elephant too. He sadly passed away on this day, 25 June, 2009.

However, it is sometimes said that, MJ was killed also because he accepted Islam and became a Muslim later in his life. He as well faced various restrictions for dumb and illogical excuses/reasons while composing his songs “They don’t care about us” and “Palestine don’t cry”, which was probably never even released.

Michael Jackson had every right to become a villain and take revenge on all of those who made his life hell. Yet, he chose to be a hero and angel of earth. In spite of all of these, the way he selflessly donated to those in need, including children and other patients having cancer, the way he was making us aware of the actual overall condition of our Earth, the way he stood by Palestine in the country’s lowest, the way he was trying to warn us all despite no one believing him, and the way he was trying his level best to contribute in prevailing the truth & healing the world – no celebrity has ever done that much for us being this selfless, kind, genuine and a good human being. To this day, the system is still trying to stop us from locking in and knowing the real truth. For this, they are bashing the recent released biopic “Michael”, and claiming that this biopic is “totally lies”, “a perfectly sanitized propaganda”. Instead, they made another documentary of Michael named “Michael Jackson: The Verdict”, that too deliberately right after the biopic, of course, in order to gain subscriptions and money through Netflix. Even after so many authentic proofs, they dare to assure that this trash and “Leaving Neverland” are the “factual”, “accurate” documentaries of Michael Jackson. There too, they used photoshop to edit MJ’s face and made it scarier, they altered, modified and misinterpreted numbers of clips to serve their own made-up heinous hoax about him and their vicious agenda. But, they hardly realize that the thing is, the photoshopped scary pics aren’t even close to his looks, instead, those pics seem to be their faces as if they are pretending to be humourous and nice by cosplaying as MJ, but their ugly true selves are exposed anyway, that’s how, the pics, although edited, looks really ugly and scary.

In conclusion, the whole objective of writing this article is to pay mourning and tribute to the sudden, tragic death of the legend – Michael Jackson on this day, 17 years ago from now. This article also illustrates that, no amount of propaganda and lies by the system can now make us deny the facts that, Michael Jackson was, is, and will always be innocent. He actually made Neverland to relive his childhood, something he never really had, and for everyone, including kids to enjoy their time for a while. The only reason MJ’s name is mentioned in the files is because, he also made this place mainly in order to protect people, especially the women and children from the sexual abuse, sex trafficking, cannibalism and many more crimes by Epstein in the Epstein Islands. In other words, he was like a spy there to stop them from harming us and to protect all of us from those evils. During these days, he had to stay very much careful, way too alert almost all the time. Therefore, by any means, we should not repeat the previous mistakes by disbelieving MJ, being inattentive to the actual problems and becoming busy in saying hateful things, cussing and cursing him out of anger and hatred towards him, which he never deserves. So, we must believe Michael Jackson, not the liars. We must not let Michael Jackson down and his death go in vain. We owe a heartfelt apology, gratitude and appreciation to him, and he deserves these tribute, respect, trust and love forever. That’s why, Michael Jackson is so unique, like no one else, not like an ordinary, typical public figure, but an extraordinary celebrity and a real, good human being – “The King of Pop”.
