Others / Frank Cascio's New Book: Some Interesting Stories
« on: November 19, 2011, 04:10:06 PM »
Hey guys, I'm currently reading Frank Cascio's New Book: My Friend Michael and I thought I'd share some interesting stories for those of you who don't have time to read it or don't want to. The book is divided into three parts and I'm on part three. I have to say that while it is a good book and it does tell about the magic of Michael but it is not all positive. It talks a lot of Michael's drug use and the problems that Michael faced. I wouldn't say that Frank is trying to portray Michael in a bad light, he actually comes off as protective of him, but I think these stories are being told for a reason. So here are some of the highlights:

-Frank ALWAYS talks about how natural a father Michael is. I loved reading all of the stories about when Frank was a kid and Michael essentially helped raise him. He said that Michael always found a lesson in everything and stressed the importance of knowledge.

-Frank's dedication to Michael: "To Michael, my teacher--thank you for being a father, a brother, a mentor, and a friend, and for the greatest adventure I could ever have imagined I love you, and I miss you every day.

-Frank says that Michael explained his marriage to Lisa Marie as a business deal. Michael said that he needed to appear as if he was a family man to Prince Al-Waleed especially after the 1993 allegations. However, it kind of seems as if Frank doesn't really believe that was the entire case. He also said that they were intimate and he thinks that Michael really just wanted to have children. He said that Michael complained that Lisa liked to fight and that Michael's response would be to just sit there clapping and smiling  lolol/  And although, Lisa said that they remained close for four years after the divorce, Frank said he hardly ever saw them together. But Frank does believe that Lisa thought the marriage was real.

-Michael also said that the marriage to Debbie was for business as well. He married her because Prince Al-Waleed didn't like the idea of him having children outside of marriage. Based on the book, Debbie and Michael lived separately and rarely had contact but they were still good friends. During this time, Michael also had a few casual girlfriends with some of his fans.

-According to Frank, Michael had a lot of love for his family but always kept them at a distance. He said that Michael always praised Randy for his musical talents and that he could play any instrument he wanted. Interestingly, Frank said that while Michael forgave La Toya for what she said in 1993 but he still wanted nothing to do with her. And Michael had had problems with Jermaine contracting him to appearances and business deals without his permission and so even though he loved Jermaine, he had to keep him at a distance, which Jermaine then wrote Word to the Badd in response, and while Michael eventually forgave, he wanted nothing to do with him after that.

-Michael did not want to reunite with his brothers for the 30th reunion special, especially because he didn't want to deal with Jermaine, but he did for his mother

-From what I gather, It was actually Frank who had the meeting in the World Trade Centers on 9/11 to return a $2 million watch that Michael had worn in the 30th anniversary special to the Bank of America

Ok this is where it gets really sad:

-based on everything I've read so far, it seems that everything went downhill after the 1993 allegations. Frank made sure to emphasize that NOTHING inappropriate happened when him and his brothers stayed with Michael. It was also interesting to note that every time Frank and Jordie were both at Neverland, Jordie always stayed in the Guest units and based on my interpretation, it didn't seem like Michael and Jordie were as close as the press made them out to be.

-Michael did take demerol in 1984 after the Pepsi incident and in 1993 but he wasn't addicted. Here is a quote about him going to rehab in '93:
                      "in later years, Michael would explain to me that the cancellation of the tour had had nothing to do with drug addiction. It was because his next tour date was in Puerto Rico, on American soil, and if he had entered the United States at this time, there was a very real chance that he would have been arrested on the allegations of child molestation. To avoid his arrest, his team of handlers had to come up with a way to get him out of the rest of the tour. The only way to guarantee that the part of the tour that was canceled would be covered by insurance would be if Michael opted out because of a medical problem..."

-According to Frank, Michael really became dependent after his bridge accident in 1999. This was the first time that he witnessed Michael receiving propofol. Frank became increasingly concerned when he noticed all of the medication Michael was receiving and at times doctors would put prescriptions in Frank's name. However, Michael told Frank it was because he was in extraordinary pain and he had been entertaining since he was five and it was catching up to his body. So at first, Frank trusted the doctors.

-But Frank really started to worry when Michael once told him, "One thing doctors can't measure and diagnose is pain. If you tell them you're in pain, they have to treat you based on what you feel." Frank told him he didn't want to end up like Elvis but Michael said he didn't have a problem.

General Hoax Talk / King777Tut Youtube comment
« on: September 17, 2011, 08:34:28 PM »
I was watching Thriller on Michael's official VEVO channel and I noticed a comment from KING777TUT posted 20 mins ago which we know at least used to be one of Michael's usernames based on info from the 2005 trial. Do you guys think it could still be him or someone just stole his username???

We should organise a date-say the week of his b'day next year-when everyone buys smooth criminal, another part of me and leave me alone from i-tunes and request those songs for air play and lets get MJ 8 number ones from the bad album.

Jermaine Jackson / You Are Not Alone
« on: September 14, 2011, 07:51:18 PM »
Ok so I'm literally only on the Prologue  lolol/ but I had to post this quote from Jermaine's book:

"I find myself constantly reflecting, going back to a time when we believed Hollywood to be only a magical place; when we believed in the Yellow Brick Road" - It's page 5 of the Prologue (Kindle version)

Hey guys, I don't know if you've seen this but I thought it was very interesting. If you skip to about 4:06 on the video, it has an interview with Aphrodite Jones and Dr. Patrick Treacy, MJ's cosmetic surgeon in Ireland from July 2006-early 2007 and shortly before his death. Here is the link:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN3B9sR7Ovw[/youtube]

He said that whenever he had to administer propofol as an anesthetic that MJ insisted on having an anesthesiologist. He even talks about one instance when he had to do a procedure to his nose and they couldn't get an anesthesiologist and even though Dr. Treacy could administer the propofol himself, MJ refused to do it without an anesthesiologist. He also notably says that when he treated MJ, he did not have any insomnia problems nor did he ever find any type of drug in his home or noticed MJ being on any type of drug. He even says that he finds it hard to believe that someone so cautious and self-informed about his health care would all of a sudden change and allow Murray to not only administer propofol but all those other drugs as well.

I think he pretty much confirms what we knew all along  penguin/

Pictures & Videos of Michael / Amazing Performance by Little Mikey :)
« on: August 05, 2011, 11:50:38 PM »
I don't know if this has already been posted so sorry if it has but I came across this video of Michael singing a little bit of Who's Loving You on the Ed Sullivan show and it is simply amazing  moonwalk_/ It gave me chills. It always amazes me how much soul and power his voice had even at such a young age (I think he may have been around 12 ? during this time). 

I don't know how to embed the video but here is the link to youtube  mj_dance/

I know that there has been a lot of talk about Lupus so if you want to move this thread that is fine. I just wanted to give some new information. I was talking with a doctor about Lupus and they said that Lupus is a very serious disease with a definite lower mortality rate. Lupus commonly affects African Americans over other racial populations. However, this is usually systemic lupus. Discoid lupus, which is what Michael had, is a mild form of the disease. However, the doctor said that systemic lupus is very hard on the kidneys and a lot of different organs and that people who get lupus very early on in their early to late 20s will normally develop systemic lupus, which is when Michael was diagnosed. There was a post that talked about La Toya saying Michael had kidney problems so I was wondering if Michael's lupus did in fact worsen from discoid to systemic. That could explain why sometimes it felt like Michael thought he was going to die young...like in the Glenda tapes (I can't remember the exact quote) or telling Paris he might not be here for Father's day and things like that. So maybe he really wasn't healthy enough to do the London concerts and when they forced him to do 50, he truly knew that they were out to kill him? I don't know...I'm just trying to come up with scenarios. Sorry again if this was already talked about but I just wanted to give you guys some first hand input from an actual MD.

Introduce yourself / Hi!
« on: July 29, 2011, 07:00:50 PM »
Hey guys!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I am newly registered but I have been browsing this forum for many months. I have been trying to read up on all of the contradictions and important information before registering which took a really long time (the post about Back was 85 pages!)  lolol/ I've also been reading the transcripts from the 2005 trial (which make you want to puke  :cry: and so they've taken a long time to get through). I will admit that I am not 100% sure that MJ is alive although, my heart and my mind KNOW that something just is not right. I want to thank the people that have started this forum. It is a great way for anyone to learn info on Michael no matter what they believe. I am a huge fan of Michael's however, that was not always the case. I have always recognized the creative genius that is the King of Pop and have always enjoyed his music. Unfortunately, I never got to experience the time when Michael was loved by the media and as a naive little girl...if adults were telling me something, I believed it to be true. Thus, I didn't always appreciate Michael, the person. Gratefully, as I got older and realized the corruption of almost everything, I started to wise up. I never believed that he was guilty of those nasty allegations but it wasn't until recently that I decided you know what I'm going to figure things out for myself. Needless to say, I was shocked. I had never before heard of vitiligo until I myself searched for it. I can not believe that people are so ignorant to still believe these nasty rumors when all it takes is a little research to see that  Michael Jackson, the man not the performer, is so incredibly unique and gifted and should be celebrated and not persecuted. For awhile I was stricken with grief and cried non-stop for the man that we lost and for my initial ignorance. That's when I came across this forum and actually felt hope. I pray everyday that he is alive and I hope that you all can guide me to finally beLIEve 100%. Sorry for the long post  lolol/ but I am happy to join this family  bearhug
