RSSJacko Wacko Bites the Bullet, Re-locates to a Toasty Neverland
Gene Lalor | July 2, 2009
I know the title and content of this piece will be interpreted as mean-spirited by some people since it reflects not even a modicum of reverence for the memory of the recently-departed Michael Jackson.
The irreverence is fully intentional.
I’m aware that it’s unkind and ungracious to speak ill of the dead and for that reason I thought I’d avoid commenting on Jackson’s untimely demise. However, I’m fed up and not going to take any more of this adulation being heaped on the undeserving, yet-unburied King of Pop.
That adulation, bordering on adoration, exemplifies both the short attention span and the inclination of his many millions of fans worldwide to overlook and discount the “man’s” perversions in favor of salivating over, listening to, and watching their king do his thing even if his thing is no longer live and in person.
If he was this generation’s king of anything, Wacko Jacko was the King of Pervs, the King of Pedophiles, the King of the Disturbed and the Absurd. Kings get away with almost anything, and so did Jacko. Furthermore, if anyone was emblematic of a disintegrating Western culture, it was Michael Joseph Jackson.
The seventh of nine children of the prolific Joe and Katherine Jackson’s Gary, Indiana clan, his childhood may best be described as unusual as well as brutal. That fact may be sad but it is no defense for the evil he inflicted on children in his later years.
I will leave to Jackson’s idolators to review his amazing career and talent and to gloss over his early years but the fact his last, or semi-last, or one of his many wills never mentions dear ol’ dad is testimony to Jacko’s negative memories of Papa Joe Jackson.
Those same idolators, when pressed, will both defend his father and family and go on to use his childhood to explain his actions.
That defense works only in our court system when attorneys seek sympathetic jury nullification to find a defendant not guilty in the face of a preponderance of evidence to the contrary. Let’s face it, Jacko was a sick, twisted individual who paid big bucks to keep himself out of jail for serial acts of pedophilia.
In the case of Michael Joseph Jackson, the scam of blaming his conduct on poor parenting wouldn’t wash with any jury that could sublimate senseless worship to objective rationality. His life would dictate a guilty verdict based alone on the damage he did to any number of kids, all boy kids.
That damage will be ignored and forgotten in the ensuing weeks and years as Jackson’s relatives battle for his presumptive millions and as the starstruck media clamor for headlines to peddle their trashy reports to gullible fans.
But, naysayers might say, he was tried and found innocent of child molestation, intoxicating a minor, abduction, and conspiracy by a jury of his peers. That’s incorrect for two reasons.
First, he was not deemed innocent, he was found “not guilty” by that jury, a huge difference attributable far more to an inept prosecution than any finding of innocence. Secondly, the alleged victim and his mother lacked any credibility and gave contradictory testimony so that even the testimony by five adult men that they, too, had been molested by Jackson years before failed to sway the jurors.
Neither of those factors support a contention that Jackson did not do what he was accused of doing. He was found not guilty by reason of prosecutorial and witness incompetence, not because he was innocent: http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/06/26/courtwatch/entry5117075.shtml
Had the 2005 trial represented the only instance of accusations of sexual improprieties with children, we could dismiss the notion that he was a child predator as being a lie.
Reinforcing that belief were the five adults who swore to similar molestations, the civil charges in 1993 by another 13 year old who apparently was bought off for $20 million, and the two jurors who subesquently changed their minds and regretted the verdict: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8880663/ns/entertainment-music/.
Compounding all that “evidence” are Jackson’s own words as taped by Martin Bashir prior to the trial in, “Living With Michael Jackson.” It’s more than odd that Bashir was widely condemned for airing that documentary while Jackson’s own, self-damning words caused barely a media ripple.
Those words on sharing a bed with young boys included “charming” and “sweet” and this question: “Why can’t you share your bed? That’s the most loving thing to do, to share your bed with someone.” Emphasis added there since the Jackson’s someones were not a wife or girlfriend but underage boys.
The damaged, the untold number of innocent boys, deprived of their childhood by Jackson will probably never be known. Money has a way of silencing critics and plaintiffs and horrified parents.
However, based on the number of kids this rock icon is said to have invited to his Pleasureland for “sleepovers,” sleepovers condoned by Jackson’s adult worshippers, I’m betting dozens if not hundreds of indignant parents will now pop out of the woodwork for their share of the dead king’s pie.
Less than a week after his drug-induced passing on to a Neverland in the sky or to a hellish eternity, the internet has been flooded with encomia and breathless eulogies. Few websites dare mess with this American idol and reveal Jacko for what he was.
Okay, he was childlike in many ways and that quality may evoke forgiveness and kind memories. He was also so self-absorbed that he couldn’t seem to differentiate between benign visits from children, pedophilia, and his hidden homosexuality
Michael Jackson was as queer as Perez Hilton, though more skilled with moon-walking. As perverse as Perez is, he never hid his homosexuality. Jackson did, to his death. For that reason alone, even the Gay Lobby should condemn him to the Hell he so richly deserves.
If these sentiments are judged un-Christian and callous, consider the kids Wacko Jacko, the King of Pop, popped before hurling any brickbats. Consider also, Are those kids still sane in 2009?
