NOTES FROM EDITOR/WRGO MAGAZINE DISCLAIMERS

The purpose of this magazine is to pro-
vide you with specialized information from a
unique community; dedicated to and built up-
on the Love and Light of Michael Jackson.

We bring you this material by way of the
countless groups and projects created be-
cause of Michael Jackson.

This magazine will be dedicated to those pro-
jects with undertakings that build up the com-
munity; and actually possess the healing and
light properties needed to help change a
world filled with darkness and a community
that has become infested with it.

We wish to provide the Community Trunk,
the new body of Michael Jackson, with infor-
mation about new and delightful support pro-
jects. There has been too much Junk at-
tached to his trunk and it is time we start
anew by peeling away the old and rotted gar-
bage from his amazing trunk, his community.

We hope you will be a part of the solution
and not the rubbish.

There should be no room for old junk in a
new trunk. Michael is a new creature in Christ
Jesus. All the old has passed away and be-
hold, all things have become new.

We wish to be an avenue to the beautiful
things going forward; and share those things
in this magazine once a month. We want to
appeal to the rooted fans as well as the inno-
vative.

Dont put JUNK in your new TRUNK. It deval-
ues your new found treasure.

FEATURED BLOG ARTICLE
My Mentor by Wade Robson

I used to talk to Michael for three hours a day. I never really
worked out how he came to find so much time because he
seemed so busy, but he would ring me and we would talk and
talk and talk. When he got a cell phone he would call and text all
the time. It was part of an amazing friendship that lasted for 20
years.

I had first met Michael when he was kicking off his bad tour in
1987. I was five, but Michaels company were holding a dance
competition in every country and I entered the one in Brisbane. I
remember being a kid and dancing to his video- the first ever I
saw was Thriller when I was two. It was my mums tape and I
just went nuts over it. I used to run into the kitchen scared every
time the werewolf came on. By the time I was three I had pretty
much learned its entire choreography.

I ended up winning the dance competition. We went to see Mi-
chael in Brisbane and at a meet and greet I was introduced to
him. I remember wearing a custom made outfit from Bad- my
mums belt was wrapped around me, like five times. Michael was
impressed and asked me if I had danced. I told him that I did and
he said Do you want to perform with me in the show tomorrow
night?

I couldnt believe it. He was due to play Brisbane the next night.
His idea was for me to come out for the last song of the show
which was Bad. He was bringing on some orphaned children so
he figured it would be cool to bring me out in the full Bad outfit.
At the end of the song we were all onstage- Stevie Wonder was
there too and Michael came on and said Come on. I took it as
him meaning Get into it!. I moved downstage and threw my hat
into the crowd and started going crazy. When I turned around
Michael was saying goodbye to the crowd, the other kids were
gone and Stevie Wonder was being escorted off. What he meant
was Come on lets go, Its over.

When I realized, I ran off. After my mum and I spent two hours
with Michael into his hotel and we became friends. He showed us
clips from the new Moonwalker he was working on and we talked
and talked. We didnt really stay in contact but I joined a dance
company- literally the next day and two years later I was in Amer-
ica to play at Disneyland. I got in touch with Michael through his
people, he remembered me. Me and my family went to Record
One Studio where he was mixing the Dangerous Album. I
showed him some of my dance videos and he said to me. Do
you and your family want to come to Neverland tonight? We all
agreed and ended up staying for two weeks.

Our friendship blossomed. For two weeks hed take me into his
dance studio, put some music on and wed dance and jam for
hours. Wed sit there and watch films like Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles. Other time wed just leave Neverland and drive out in a
car, blasting music really loud.

He even taught me how to do the moonwalk. We were in his
dance studio. He taught me foot by foot. I couldnt sleep that
whole night. The thrill of pushing off the bar and sliding back-
wards in a moonwalk with the guy that made it famous was so
exciting.

Later, me and my mum wanted to move to America to pursue my
dreams of becoming a dancer and he helped us out. He gave me
a big start by putting me in some of his videos like Black or
White. The role he took on was one of a mentor.

He told me when I was seven that Id be a film director and thats
what I became, he created a thirst for knowledge in me. Once, a
mini recording studio turned up on my doorstep, but what was
cool was that he stopped me from becoming a spoiled brat. He
would say This is for you, but I want to see you do something
with it. Dont take it for granted or I'll take it back.

The last time I saw him was in July 2008. I was in Vegas working
on a show and he was living there. Me, my wife and him and his
three kids had a barbecue. It was the most normal thing in the
world. Me and my wife had been to Whole foods and bought stuff
to cook. But when we got there hed provided loads of catering. I
said, Dude, Why did you bring loads of catering? Weve got reg-
ular food here. I remember cooking outside while Michael sat
there under an umbrella.

We had great times because he was such a caring person. Most
of all Ill miss those phone conversations. I still have my mobile
phone with his number on it. I just cant bear the thoughts of de-
leting his messages.

Michael Jackson changed the world and, more personally, my life
forever. He is the reason I dance, the reason I make music, and
one of the main reasons I believe in the pure goodness of human
kind. He was a close friend of mine for 20 years. His music, his
movement, his personal words of inspiration and encouragement
and his unconditional love will live inside of me forever. I will miss
him immeasurably, but I know that he is now at peace and en-
chanting the heavens with a melody and a moonwalk.

I love you Michael.

POETRY
Enough for Today

Dance rehearsals can go on past midnight, but
this time I stopped at ten. "I hope you don't
mind," I said, looking up into space, "but that's
enough for today."

A voice from the control room spoke. "You
okay?" "A little tired, I guess," I said.

I slipped on a windbreaker and headed down
the hall. Running footsteps came up behind
me. I was pretty sure who they belonged to. "I
know you too well," she said, catching up with
me. "What's really wrong?"

I hesitated. "Well, I don't know how this
sounds, but I saw a picture today in the pa-
pers. A dolphin had drowned in a fishing net.
From the way its body was tangled in the lines,
you could read so much agony. Its eyes were
vacant, yet there was still that smile, the one
dolphins never lose, even when they die..." My
voice trailed off.

She put her hand lightly in mine. "I know, I
know."

"No, you don't know all of it yet. It's not just
that I felt sad, or had to face the fact that an
innocent being had died. Dolphins love to
dance -- of all the creatures in the sea, that's
their mark. Asking nothing from us, they cavort
in the waves while we marvel. They race
ahead of ships, not to get there first but to tell
us, 'It's all meant to be play. Keep to your
course, but dance while you do it.'

"So there I was, in the middle of rehearsal, and
I thought, 'They're killing a dance.' And then it
seemed only right to stop. I can't keep the
dance from being killed, but at least I can
pause in memory, as one dancer to another.
Does that make any sense?"

Her eyes were tender. "Sure, in its way. Proba-
bly we'll wait years before everyone agrees on
how to solve this thing. So many interests are
involved. But it's too frustrating waiting for im-
provements tomorrow. Your heart wanted to
have its say now."

"Yes," I said, pushing the door open for her. "I
just had this feeling, and that's enough for to-
day."

POETRY
Michael My Son My Hero
As Michael ponder the love that I saw in his eyes,
A Godly love, given without compromise.
I recall many times that Michael stood by my side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.

His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,
Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.
The power and might of his hands was so sure,
Michael knew there was nothing we couldnt endure.

Its true, a few others provided insight,
Yet, Michael laid the foundation that kept me upright.
Hes the grandest of men to have lived on this earth,
Although hes not royal by stature or birth.

Hes a man of great dignity, honor and strength.
His merits are noble, and of admirable length.
Hes far greater than all other men that I know,
Hes my Son , hes my mentor, my friend and father
but to me Michael will always be a HERO
we love you Mrs. Jackson and to us he always
be in our heart a role model his dedication of life
will be honor to the end of time Thank you for sharing
your son with us we love you very much

THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY ZONE
Five years ago, on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson
left this earth. In the barrage of information follow-
ing his passing, many people began a quest to find
out exactly who this man was: evil personified; mis-
understood artistic genius; child trapped in a mans
body; or deity deserving of worship?
Doing some research for myself, I discovered that
Michael Jackson was a wonderful man. Most of the
general population would be stunned to learn that
Michael was shy, humble, generous, gentle, and so
very caring toward everyone. He gave unselfishly of
himself throughout his life, from the time he was a
child with very little to share. I learned many won-
derful things about Michael, both his public and per-
sonal life. I also learned something very disturbing.
There have been other major figures in the arts and
pop culture that have had huge followings of dedi-
cated fans, but I think we can all agree that never
has there been anyone on the magnitude of Mi-
chael Jackson, neither in the stature of his talents
and contributions nor the loyal devotion of his fans
and admirers. Most of Michaels admirers are casu-
al fans of his music and/or dance and leave it at
that. They dont know much about him as a person
but enjoy his art.
Some people know more of whom Michael Jackson
the man was and they have, in addition to an enjoy-
ment of his creative contributions, a respect for him
as a person. They have some insight into what he
endured in his life, having taken the time to seek
out who he really was. There is genuine caring for
him as a person. It could be said they love him.
One definition of love, from the Bing Dictionary, is
to feel tender affection for somebody such as a
close relative or friend, or for something such as a
place, an ideal, or an animal. I think its possible to
have that type of feeling for someone you respect
but have never met, such as Michael Jackson.
The disturbing discovery came when I found a third
group of fans that could be classified as fanatics of
the highest order; they are worshipers. They have
exalted Michael Jackson to the status of a deity.
There is a difference between love and worship.
Once again from the Bing dictionary, worship is de-
fined as to treat somebody or something as divine
and show respect by engaging in acts of prayer and
devotion.
The Merriam-Webster definition of a deity is having
the rank or essential nature of a god; one exalted
as supremely good or powerful. These worshipers
have drawn comparisons between Michael Jackson
and Jesus Christ, even going so far as to show him
being crucified on a cross, the same way Jesus
Christ was. As a Christian, this both saddens and
frightens me. It makes me sad (and offended) to
see my Lord and Savior trivialized in such a man-
ner. It frightens me because so many are misguid-
ed and are missing the truth.
While Michael Jackson was a wonderful man, he
was in fact only that..a man. His persona was
larger than life but he was a normal, mortal man
who lived an extraordinary life. Compared to the
average person, his struggles were greater, his
successes larger, his fame unprecedented, his im-
age more distorted, and his reputation more ma-
ligned. He handled the pressures of being Michael
Jackson with extreme grace and humility. At the
end of the day, however, he was just a human man.
Michael never considered himself to be anything
more. His life had enough pressure! Why would he
want the mantle of being someone who should be
exalted as supremely good or powerful??? Dont
put that burden on Michael Jackson; he did not ask
you to give him that responsibility.
Spiritual Truths by B. Owens

THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY ZONE
Spiritual Truths by B. Owens
Michael knew he had a God-given talent from
the time he was a small child. His desire was to
hone that talent and use it to help the world.
That sounds like a lofty notion, but he did not
mean it as a narcissistic goal; he genuinely
wanted to help people and he believed that he
could do so with the talents and blessings God
had allowed him to have. Michael knew he was
not the Creator; he always acknowledged that
he was the product of a Divine Creator.
There is a wonderful website that has a wealth
of information detailing who Michael Jackson
was. Reflections on the Dance is one of the first
places I found when I started my journey of dis-
covery about Michael. The quotes below were
found there and have been culled from various
interviews over the span of Michaels career.
(To see more examples of Michaels faith and to
learn who he was visit
http://www.reflectionsonthedance.com.)

"I believe in the Bible and I try to follow the Bi-
ble. I know Im an imperfect person Im not
making myself an angel because Im not an an-
gel and Im not a devil either. I try to be the best
I can and I try to do what I think is right. Its that
simpleI dont just pray at night. I pray at differ-
ent times during the day. Whenever I see some-
thing beautiful, I say, "Oh, God, thats beautiful."
I say little prayers like that all through the day."
1979 JET Magazine
"...Look, we dont have control over the grounds,
they can shake. We dont have control over the
seas, they can have tsunamis. We dont have
control over the skies, there are storms. Were
all in Gods hands. I think that man has to take
that into consideration." Michael Jackson in his
2007 Ebony Magazine interview
"No one can quite say what the creative process
is. Because I have nothing to do with it of
course. It's created in space. It's God's work,
not mine." Ebony/Jet 2007 interview
I wrote "Will You Be There?" at my house,
"Never Land" in California....I didn't think about it
hard. Thats why its hard to take credit for the
songs that I write, because I just always feel that
it's done from above. I feel fortunate for being
that instrument through which music flows. I'm
just the source through which it comes. I can't
take credit for it because it's Gods work. He's
just using me as the messenger.... Ebony/Jet
2002 interview
"....I love to do things for children and I try to imi-
tate Jesus. And no, I am not saying I am Jesus,
I'm not saying that.... I'm trying to imitate Jesus
in the fact that he said to be like children, to love
children, to be as pure as children, and to make
yourself as innocent and to see the world
through eyes of wonderment and the whole
magical quality of it all and I love that. And we'll
have like a hundred bald headed children, they
all have cancer, and they're all running around.
And they are enjoying themselves and it makes
me cry happy tears that I was able to do this for
them, you know. (It) makes me so pleased in-
side."
"I will never stop helping and loving people the
way Jesus said to. He said "Continue to love.
Always love. Remember children. Imitate the
children." Not childish, but childlike." 2003 60
Minutes TV interview with Ed Bradley

THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY ZONE
Spiritual Truths by B. Owens
From reading these quotes of Michaels it would be
hard for anyone to come away with the impression
that he viewed himself as anything other than the
creation of a Divine Creator. There truly is a Crea-
tor and a Savior who loves us more than any pop
star ever could.
Why are we so willing to worship and exalt rock
stars, athletes, musicians, etc., but ignore the Truth
of the One who loves us and offers eternal peace
and salvation? Because worshiping the true Deity
requires obedience, sacrifice and repentance.
There is neither risk nor responsibility in worshiping
an entertainer. But what really happens is the en-
tertainer is made an idol who usurps the role of the
One which truly loves us and can make a differ-
ence not only in our present lives, but in our eternal
lives as well.
The One who DID gladly receive that responsi-
bility is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He came
to save mankind from eternal damnation; He
was crucified for us as the ultimate sacrifice for
sin. He rose from the dead to conquer death and
sits at the right hand of God interceding for us.
Here are just a few things the Bible (NIV) says
regarding Jesus:
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in
bodily form. Colossians 2:9
And the Word became flesh and made his
dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the
glory of the One and Only, who came from the
Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
For we do not have a high priest who is unable
to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have
one who has been tempted in every way, just as
we areyet was without sin. Hebrews 4:15
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
For God so loved the world that he gave his one
and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
He then began to teach them that the Son of
Man must suffer many things and be rejected by
the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law,
and that he must be killed and after three days
rise again. Mark 8:31
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no
other name under heaven given to men by which
we must be saved. Acts 4:12
Everyone will be judged before the one true God
at the end of life. We choose in whom we want
to trust. Michael Jackson cannot guide, protect
or save you. He cannot hear nor answer your
prayers. He was a generous humanitarian, the
ultimate performer, creative beyond measure,
attractive inside and out, and very loving. How-
ever, he was only a man, a human with all of its
frailties, just like us. All of the attributes he pos-
sessed came from his Creator. They were gifts
to Michael and he cultivated them and always
gave God the credit for his gifts.
Man is frail and temporary, regardless of how
powerful they seem in life. Only Jesus Christ can
offer lasting strength and hope. He is the true
source of love, peace and eternal salvation. He
alone can guide us in life and save us in death.
We make the choice what we choose to worship.
Do not be deceived by a world that exalts false
idols.

Our children are the most beautiful, most
sweet, most treasured of our creations. And
yet, every minute at least 28 children die.
Today our children are at risk of being killed
by diseases and by the violence of war,
guns, abuse and neglect. Children have few
rights and no-one to speak for them. They
have no voice in our world. God and nature
has blessed me with a voice. Now I want to
use it to help children speak for themselves.
I have founded the Heal The World
Foundation to be the voice of the voiceless:
the children.

Nicole & Scotty: Unchartered Waters
Nicole and Scotty are a young multi-talented sister/brother
duo who are officially stepping into the spot light after
months of anticipation with their debut album. The three
original tracks were entirely written, performed, and pro-

Success is something that is constantly dreamed of. It calls
to our senses, paints us a picture so vivid and so desirous
that we have no choice but to follow it. It hums us a song of
brilliance, casts us a light so pure...this is a story about a
brother and sister who defied abuse, overcame trials, and
ultimately succeeded in reaching success.
My name is Nicole Lomaglio, I am 17 years old and a
singer/songwriter with my 13 year old little brother, Scotty,
who is a composer and musician. We are fulfilling our des-
tiny.

I have been writing since I was about five or six years old.
By writing I mean all types; short stories, poetry, songs, etc.
I discovered, when I was about eight years old, after per-
forming in an elementary school talent show and growing
up with varying types of music of every genre and many
artists, that I had a deep respect and love for singing and
the voice. I have only very recently discovered that to sing
and song write are my true passions and true destiny, and
I thank God every day that I have the abilities, gifts and
blessings that I do.

My little
brother
Sc ot t y
learned
that his
gift was
to bril-
l i a n t l y
p l a y
guitar after my Mom had enrolled him in a guitar class
through our home school program. He immediately
took flight, learning the entire beginner's lesson book
the first week of his enrollment, and is now beyond
college level in music theory. Realizing our talents took
time and belief; we have both overcome the difficult
challenge of surviving bullying and rising up after many
had tried to keep us down for a very long time. Once
out of a toxic environment however, your soul is set free
and you are able to focus, discover and understand
what God put you on our planet to fulfill. Our purpose is
to create healing, soul-nourishing and light-filled music
and to deliver it to those in need of what we call
"substantial melody"; songs that bring hope, restore
faith, and trigger your heart to realize what your own
purpose is. With the release of our debut CD," Nicole
& Scotty: Unchartered Waters" we have fulfilled a huge
part of our work. It is a humungous goal reached and
the first step in the right direction of our journey, as we
will have so much more to do. There is a tremendous
amount of music inside both of us, and our ultimate
plan is to set it free.

FEATURED MUSIC
Our newly released CD," Nicole & Scotty: Unchar-
tered Waters" is our biggest accomplishment this
far, and the joy brought to my little brother and I
through it's release is really indescribable. It features
3 of our original songs out of our catalogue, which
contains roughly 30.The first song on the album is
entitled," The Rise Of The Storm", the second," Bare-
foot Traveler" and the third, "Stricken".
Our genre really contains many samples of all kinds of
musical influence. For the most part it could be de-
scribed as Americana and Folk Rock, but many have
said they have heard sounds such as Rockabilly,
Roots, Surf Rock, Blues, and Country Rock living in-
side our tunes. That makes us extremely happy as we
really want to kind of resurrect a lot of styles that are
perhaps thought of as "forgotten" or "dead". In an
industry today that is really overrun by saturated
amounts of pop music/artists, I think taking a stand
and reminding the world of what pure music sounds
like is needed to push away a lot of superficiality
which is being associated with music now days. The
way we write is much different than what we have
learned to be the average.

When writing music, I really have to feel that it's time
to bring a song into fruition. The process is very
complex and something that I have the utmost respect
for. I will be driving, swimming in the ocean or think-
ing and walking when I'll suddenly be hit by this one
perfect melody, or this one perfect lyrical phrase. For
instance," Barefoot Traveler...keep your head up..." I'll
quickly grab a pen and paper and write down what-
ever flows out of my hand. Sometimes I really don't
have to think at all, when my hand just flies away from
me, and sometimes I do.
But what I've learned is that each song comes only
when it wants to. It cannot be forced under any
circumstance. And it's different and unique every
time. I'll then take what I have written and what I hear
to Scotty. If I hear a constant rhythm or a chord, since
I cant read music, I'll just hum to Scotty what I hear
and he'll match it with a chord or guitar lick. After
we've established that I leave him with our music, and
he flows what he hears directly from his soul into our
song.

FEATURED MUSIC
My little brother is truly one of a kind. He plays 5
instruments on the CD; acoustic, electric, dobro/slide
guitar, piano/keyboard/synthesizer, and mandolin. He
wrote music for all the instruments on the CD, includ-
ing the drums and bass and upright bass, which were
played by our talented session musicians Brian
McLaughlin, Mike Escamillo (also our music engineer
who recorded, mixed and mastered the album) and
Dave Lang.

Scotty has only had train-
ing in guitar which he
only started roughly two
years ago. Every other
instrument he taught him-
self to play. I have never
taken voice lessons. I
feel it would interfere with
my natural abilities so I
teach myself as well.
Raw ability is beautiful.
Having an instructor train
your voice has it's bene-
fits, but I feel it's very difficult to find a teacher who
doesn't tell you how to sing. No one should ever tell
you how to sing; you have that ability inside you and it
comes from your heart. Same goes for songwriting. If
God has blessed you with the ability to bring songs
into this world, no one can really tell you how to form
them. That comes from your heart and you really learn
as you go.
The 3 songs that we chose to go on our debut album
mean a great, great deal to us. " The Rise Of The
Storm" is a beachy-rock, folky type of song musically
and, I feel, is one of the most meaningful songs we've
ever written. We wrote this song to inspire people of
all ages to strike up against harsh words or unfair
assumptions, give themselves the will to move for-
ward, and if there are people who say that they will
never amount to anything that they simply have to
prove them wrong. From the chorus: "The storm is
calmest just before the rain, life is simple just before
the change, the wound is softest just before the pain,
the water's stillest just before the waves..." signifying
that those who are kept down and labeled as the
"under-dogs", those who are told that they are too qui-
et to be heard, are indefinitely meant to be amazing,
and one day will explode with these brilliant colors of
talent, and that like the waves of our oceans they will
rise. What I've learned is that people who want to
bring you down to their level only want to do so be-
cause they can never be brought up to yours.

That is what "The Rise Of The Storm" represents. Light
workers will always rise.

album. We are planning on a tour and live performances, so please be on the lookout! For more information on what
we're up to or where we might be playing, please visit our website above.
To watch live performances please visit our YouTube channel and follow us on Facebook/Twitter.



We hope that our story is inspiring to you all, and that we encourage others through our music to walk the path they were
meant to, fulfill their destinies, strike up against injustice, cruelty or skepticism, and to always chart your own seas, bear-
ing light and trusting in God. God bless you all...lets continue on this journey...

Michael Joe Jackson - Born-8/29/58 Died-6/25/09
Married to Michael Ray for nearly 30 years. Loved Michael Jackson all my life... One love inti-
mate, the other from afar. Lost both in the same year 2 months apart... The pain in my soul will
live on forever with their loss to me. I can go to L.A. and Gary, Indiana and celebrate everything
Michael Jackson. I can go up the road and sit by my husbands grave and reflect my life with
him.. Both gone but both will never be forgotten and will always carry them both with me deep in
my heart.
Michael Ray was and always will be loved and missed by me, family and friends but the whole
planet misses Michael Jackson. Living, loving, grieving will always be the same emotion carried
so deeply to those we knew and loved close to our hearts with a void that will always be there
for eternity. This August is a Happy Birthday to my Michael Ray and Michael Jackson and R.I.P.
to both.

SHOUT IT OUT
By: Corrine Montorfani
RARE: Stacy Browns
Fecal Matters
Nowadays boundaries separating vulgarity and Goliardia
are really ephemeral.
Equally weak is the common sense of what a vulgar subjects
going to the detriment of others; We are living in a society who
confuse technology progress with lack of values. The process
of trivialization that, like it or not, we are forced to endure every
day thanks to the media, make sure that our critical capability
of reading and translating the REAL, its much weaker than it
was in the past generations. The lack of a methodological
code helping to analyze the reality has increasingly become
rare and fatally is going to clash with the urgent needs of a
society that compels, under penalty of exclusion, to run to oth-
er destinations that have almost nothing to do with humanity
and with the great relevant questions, offering nothing more
than a minds enslaves club.
All this talk summarizes our actual society: the entertain-
ment society. This is not the place to explain or define what it
is; it is enough highlights few points:
Entertainment society is an expression of the Media Em-
pire;
In its negative sense, Media is the way the great Western
Empires offer to people low level
entertainment, leveraging on popular ignorance.
Its a sequence of facts, where each event can be turned
into a show by the media, therefore filtered, aiming to
distance the feeling of reality and critical sense as a final
result.
Entertainment society creates over and over again new
styles and languages to be incorporated on a daily basis;
in this way, (language and thought), the human being
move from the symbol to the sign automatically.
Heres what Tom Mesereau think of Stacy Brown
Stacy Brown is in this business for years and this time, in order
to keep his miserable stories in the headlines, he recycled a
never-failing technique to captivate the publics attention: the
poop...Theres nothing more funnier than the classic eulogy of
the poop! Fecal jokes are a classic satire of all time, and Sta-
cy Brown, being a veteran of the toilet, feeds his need and
finally focus on his own poop...
Or better, as Sigmund Freud defined in his
Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis 1915/32 He feels
no disgust at his feces, values them as a portion of his own
body with which he will not readily part, and makes use of
them as his first gift, to distinguish people whom he values
highly..He carries on (Continue page 51)

his high valuation of feces in his
estimate of gifts and money..
There are many people who re-
tain a voluptuous feeling in defe-
cating all through their lives..
In his study of the human uncon-
scious, Sigmund Freud noticed
a striking association between
money and excrements and I
found its perfectly suit to Stacy
Brown.
The fact I get into details of his
latest master PIECE is just the
need to debunk the content itself
and the sources, reminding the
fans that there is NO NEWS in the latest Stacy
Brown poop matters.
Stacy Brown did not talk to any housekeepers. He,
as usual, just made up stuffs already in the media
since ages. The outrageous and exacerbate tone is
only credit.
Now lets go to break down all the inaccurate so
called news he inserted in his fecal dissertation.
To a certain point he
writes that MJ
checked into drug
rehabilitation in Swit-
zerland and hiding
out overseas until
attorney Johnnie
Cochran secured a
guarantee from the
Los Angeles district
attorney that he
would not be arrest-
ed upon his return to the States.
MJs rehabilitation did not happen in Switzerland
but in UK. Its well documented HERE
He went to Switzerland following the cancellation of
the South African concerts due to continued vio-
lence there; and had a break with Frank & Eddie
Cascio at Elizabeth Taylors chalet in Gstaad for
several days and then visited Geneva. MJ was
spotted shopping for souvenirs, going in record
stores and taking pictures with some local people.
.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvW7qUGJ5AQ









He also adds that MJ paid more than $20million to
the Chandlers in exchange for the boys silence.
We know very well MJ did not pay for the silence of
anyone. The Chandler claim was for negligence (in
fact, both Evan and June Chandler, received about
1.5 million each in reference to Negligence) and it
has paid by his insurance. I have to agree with him
that MJs life changed dramatically after 1993

It's definitely not a coincidence that all of these negative stories
are coming out about MJ this month. Robson & co. must be
getting desperate for attention. Unfortunately, they are getting
what they want. I doubt Stacy Browns prophecy that we are
going to hear in the court Robson allegations will become true.
Anyone can file a suit against someone, which does not guar-
antee to go on trial and obtain what's requested.
Another false statement is that Robson, his mother and sister
testified MJ would cry if denied permission to sleep with him.
Im afraid Mr. Brown that Wade, Joy & Chantal Robson never
mentioned it.
Joy Robson just recalled, while grilled by Sneddon during the
05 trial, that after Jordan Chandler allegations surfaced, MJ just
back to US, called and asked her to drive over to Neverland
Valley Ranch very late one night. You can read integral Joy &
Chantal Robsons testimony here. JOY & CHANTAL
However someone stated MJ was crying and argues because
he thought she was not trusting him... It was June Chandler!
Mr. Brown memories have problems. After years telling lies he
starts to lose the plot!
The funny gag Stacy Brown has told us about MJs hate for
Jewish people and Spielberg in particular is surely an adapta-
tion coming from an old 2003 Vanity Fair article, published all
over the world by the press. Vanity Fair wrote that MJ attended
a voodoo ritual in Switzerland where a witch doctor promised
that Spielberg, music mogul David Geffen and 23 other people
on the entertainer's list of enemies would die. MJ who under-
went a "blood bath" as part of the ritual, then ordered his former
business adviser Myung-Ho Lee to wire $150,000 to a bank in
Mali for a voodoo chief named Baba, who sacrificed 42 cows for
the ceremony, the magazine reported. VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE
ARTICLE
Can you image what MEDIA were writing in 2003 about
MJ in the crazy effort to keep him in the news because he
was the best selling artist of all the time (in every
sense)?? He was alive at that time When it comes to
Michael Jackson it seem all common sense goes out the
window. This was the dumbest story I had heard in a
while and the sad truth is because MJs name is attached
to it! People lose all logic and believe anything... and now
Stacy Brown scraped the bottom of his old scum archives
and thinks to give us this poop as news? No thanks.
Besides the funny thing, its my humble opinion that Spiel-
berg really stole ideas from MJ, stretching to
DreamWorks Studio logo, the Jurassic park themes and
who knows what else. Why
do I believe it so? Because I
was already an adult when
these facts happened and I
remember pictures of MJ
with papers and notebooks
under his arm going up &
down to Spielbergs office.
Lets then all remember that MJ purchased Neverland in
1987 and created the logo for it, while Dream works had
been founded in
1994. So...if there
is some truth to it,
who copied who???
Michael Jackson was a messy guy, no denying of that,
but not THAT messy as portrayed in the article and the
only filth around was the human filth that surrounded him.
Lets have a look now at the 3 maids tales: I show you
that all the garbage was already in the press since years
ago.
The maid describing young guests tossing bottles and
cans around the house and stuffs must be Kristina Four-
nier, who according to Brown saw syringes strewn about
the property and MJ usually stoned, regularly babbled
unintelligibly.
A TMZ old article reported it years ago as Fournier words,
now we have Brown.. strange enough there are no talks
about syringes in Kiki Fourniers 93 & 05 depositions

She worked for MJ as housekeeper at Neverland from 1991
to 2003 and described the ranch as a "pleasure island"
where children ran riot and mess up everywhere. She add-
ed that she never saw him give alcohol to a minor. Ms Four-
nier told how on many occasions children would refuse to
sleep in the bedrooms given to them, and instead chose to
spend the night with Mr. Jackson. "Usually they'd get as-
signed some place to sleep, but sometimes they would stay
with Mr. Jackson," she told the court. Here an article of
that time:
http://articles.latimes.com/2005/mar/18/local/me-jackson18
Another maid who loves to be all over the press is Blanca
Francia, the mother of Jason Francia, the boy who, together
with his mother, blackmailed MJ and claimed to be molest-
ed because MJ tickled him. She started to work for MJ in
1986 and stopped in 1991. She worked at MJ hideout
apartment (During His Bad tour and that lasted almost a
year and a half) and at the same time in Encino, and then
continues to Neverland. Reading the womans cross exami-
nation testimony is worst than a punishment; she hardly
understands (or pretends not to) and her main answer is: "I
do not remember" (I do not know why it reminds me of Paul
Gongawares testimony during the AEG/Jackson civil trial,
the difference is that I assume he went to school). This
woman does not remember dates, money received or re-
quested and definitely seem to be thick as a brick despite
Tom Mesereau efforts to formulate simple and clear sen-
tences, in different ways and shapes.
Here an excerpt of her testimony (you can read the full ver-
sion HERE) of April 5 2005, when Tom Mesereau submitted
the sworn 1993 deposition:
Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Okay. Okay. Do you remember in
your deposition saying you had never seen Mr. Jackson
touch anyone improperly?
A. Yeah, I --
Q. Do you remember saying you never saw him touch any-
one?
A. Yeah.
Q. You did say that, didnt you?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And in that deposition, you told the truth, right?
A. As -- as I recall it at that time, yeah.
Q. You told the truth at that time, right?
A. As I remember it.
Q. Yes. And you were under oath, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And you said that you had never seen Michael Jack-
son touch anyone in a sexual way, right?
A. Yeah.
Q. Okay. And you said at no time while you worked for Mi-
chael Jackson did you ever see him have sexual contact with
anyone, right?
A. When I say sexual, I mean sexual.
Q. But you did say under oath that you had never saw Mr.
Jackson have sexual contact with anyone, right?
A. No. No.
Q. Isnt that what you said?
A. Yeah, yeah, thats what I said.
Mrs. Francia had to end her service to Michael Jackson because
Gayle Goforth, (MJ secretary at that time) discovered Francia
helped herself into her purse!
Working for MJ no more in1993 Francia settled up an interview
with Diane Dimond for Hard Copy magazine. She agreed on
$20,000 dollars payment, and also gave to Dimond many pictures
of the Ranch to be published but ..something went wrong with the
whole deal.
The statement Francia made during her deposition talking of the
Dimond/Hard Copy affair.. it gives a clear idea of the ignorance of
this lady a great sadness..
I didnt like -- I thought that -- that Hard Copy interview thing was
going to be shown on Hard Copy, and then I see my pictures eve-
rywhere, and even in The National Enquirer, and thats what I
thought that it was. You know, I didnt know that they can sell the
story to someone else. Thats how I felt.
I believe her...greed and 5 minutes of notoriety... she found herself
into an unknown mechanism and was overwhelmed with manipula-
tions and promises. There is nothing to add to it
Last one is the best clown of The Michael Jackson housekeepers

cause the articles tell the same stories as the Stacy Brown story in
the Post.
Adrian McManus worked for MJ from August 29th of 1990 through
July 31st of 1994. Just as a regular housekeeper to be allowed,
after 9 months, to clean MJs bedroom. In fact she took over Bian-
ca Francias job.
Shes one of the five former employees (Kassim Abdool, Ralph
Chacon, Melanie Bagnall and Sandie Domz) who sued MJ in 1995
for wrongful dismissal - and lost. The jury found that they had act-
ed with fraud and malice and ordered them to pay more than $1.6
million for Mr. Jackson's legal fees. Michael Jackson refused the
amount and wanted just one symbolic dollar. She had stolen
trademark fedoras, bags of candy and many other objects among
which was an Elvis sketch made by MJ.
Ms. McManus said she had never stolen and had not sued for
money. "I wanted justice," she said. Mr. Mesereau countered, "But
your idea of justice is millions of bucks."
McManus was certain she saw MJ and a boy stripped to the waist
in his bedroom, kissing while Michael had his hand on the boy's
genitals. In 1993 she told a grand jury that she never saw any lurid
behavior. In 2005 she said she had lied then because she was
afraid of reprisals from Jackson's camp.

Stories of human miseries its inst? We live in a world where
gossip permeate every corner of our lives, it comes in differ-
ent forms, and most of the time is dangerous.
We all practice the art of gossip; it's a habit we have had for
centuries, it is a business old as our world, any remedys
useless, we would never be able to remove it. Knowing
about hidden and unofficial human relations, digging into
other peoples feelings and in their erotic relationsgossip
seems to be even good for your health, improves mood, re-
lieve frustrations, increases self-esteem and helps to
strengthen social relationships.
Where does the gossip end and began slander and libel?
In Michael Jacksons case we see how gossip can be malig-
nant, becomes a weapon in the hands of those who have
acrimony and grudges, an attempt to attack a person no mat-
ter what he does in his work or in social life. Envy, psycholo-
gists say, is most often the driving element, criticize and den-
igrate what you do not own and you would like to possess.
Its also the perfect weapon to annihilate opponents, ruin the
social reputation, causes psychological harm to the victim,
excluding him from social and professional competition.
Sometimes, however, the risk is not worth it because in
many countries you can find yourself having to face a com-
plaint for libel, slander and sometimes worst.Its a pity that
U.S. law protect journalists and does not have a civil legal
possibility to sue them for what they write. Very lucky to be
an American and work for local scum papers Mr. Brown

DAY 8 MICHAEL JACKSON
Michael: Michael was like this. He was the
type of kid who loved kids. I remember, .. a
long time ago, when I used to give him his al-
lowance after the shows. He would use it all up
to buy a lot of candy. He would get the children
in the neighborhood to sit down with him in a
circle, and he would keep feeding them candy,
laughing and having the time of his life. I would
look at him and it was beyond me, how in the
world he got the most pleasure watching other
kids eat candy.

Another thing, he was so fast. That boy was
quick. Once we had a very mean dog in the
yard, a black Doberman. This dog was so
mean and fierce, we called him by a dictators
name (I cant mention the name). Now every
Sunday, Michael would practice his dancing for
about 2 to 3 hours. He had just got done doing
his routine and was out walking with Randy his
little brother. They did not notice that the dog
had got out of the yard and it came chasing af-
ter them. Michael was so fast, dashing out of
the dogs way in the split of a second and jump-
ing on top of the car. The dog did however get
Randy, biting Randy on his back leg. I rushed
after the dog and was able to set Randy free. It
was very dangerous because Randy might nev-
er have been able to walk again, had the dog
continued its bite. Years have gone by and I
can still see it all happening like a movie. How
Michael was able to outrun the dog that fast,
and still have the presence of mind to Jump is
beyond me.

What else Let me see, He was also a master
at imitation. He could see something once, and
would be able to imitate it. The songs he did,
he did at home, so when he went into the stu-
dio, he knew exactly what he want-
ed. Somehow he knew how to think ahead.

An Open Letter to People Who Hate Michael Jackson
(or Just Don't Care): My final article on MJ
Dear Readers,

This is going to be my last article on Michael Jack-
son and I want you to read this open letter all the
way through. My words wont mean anything to any-
one if theyre not read in their entirety. Lets go.
Today Michael Jackson was memorialized at the
Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and is
probably being laid to rest as I write this letter. But I
need to do something.

A Stunning Admission...
In fact, Im going to make a stunning public admis-
sion. I never really was a fan of Michael Jackson.
Sure, I grew up listening to the Jackson Five in the
70s and came of age in the 80s. I was there when
hismusic videos set the world on fire. But I wasnt a
fan.

I never bought any of Michael Jacksons music. I
never went to any of his concerts. And when he was
charged with child molestation charges that pretty
much sealed the deal for me. After all, I am a survi-
vor of abuse myself.

Since the passing of one of the worlds most influen-
tial entertainers on Thursday, June 25, Ive had
mixed emotions. I am an arts
and entertainment reporter and I knew that I would
have to cover this story. I would have to keep all my
emotions in check while writing about Michael Jack-
son, making sure my prejudices against persons
accused of pedophilia would not unduly influence
my reporting.

Needless to say, I understand the feelings that oth-
ers in our country and around the world have had
regarding Mr. Michael Jackson. But some unex-
pected things happened that have shifted my per-
spective.

A Black Man's Perspective...
When Michael Jackson died, I saw my strong, edu-
cated, brilliant husband (who is himself a Black
Man) start to crumble a bit. Jacksons death really
shook him. I admit that his unexpected death
stopped me in my tracks too initially, but my hus-
bands grief was something I wasnt prepared for.
Why did Michael Jackson mean so much to him,
especially when my beloved husband knew my own
private battles with surviving abuse?

He told me stories how as he was growing up a little
black boy in Ohio that every adult and child in his
neighborhood would run to the near-
est television set every time the Jackson Five were
on. How he would see other Black people on televi-
sion that looked just like him and how that made
him feelimportant, special, extraordinary.

An Open Letter to People Who Hate Michael Jackson
(or Just Don't Care): My final article on MJ
Obviously, as a white woman, I cant relate to that
experience of my husbands. Ive always seen white
people prominently displayed on television my
whole life. But did that revelatory experience for my
husband and for other African-American people in
our country completely override the fact that Michael
Jackson was accused of vicious, unforgivable acts
of molesting innocent children?

I wasnt yet convinced. (Let me stop you here. I
know that a person is innocent until proven guilty
and that Jackson was fully acquitted on all charges.
But that doesnt always erase the distrust and suspi-
cion that continues to follow a former suspect of
crimes against children.)

Business as usual...
So I continued to cover the death of Michael Jack-
son: I wrote about the stunning allegations from his
former nanny (which were later recanted), his moth-
er Katherine receiving custody of his three children,
the upcoming funeral and memorial details. I even
began to write about some of Jacksons fans who
contacted me, asking me to tell their stories of how
much they loved him. And I did. But my mind wasnt
changed.

On Monday, July 6, I was taking a short break from
the excessive Michael Jackson coverage and want-
ed to watch The View. While I rarely get to watch
this program (it interferes with my four-year-old
daughters viewing of Sesame Street), I decided to
tune in and hear what the ladies had to say about
Jacksons death.
What Whoopi Said...

Whoopi Goldberg spoke about how she met Mi-
chael Jackson and how other people would often
ask, Would you let your child near Michael Jack-
son? And what she said surprised me. She said,
Yes.

She said, Yes, I would leave my child with Michael
Jackson and I did leave my child with Michael Jack-
son. Michael Jackson would never hurt a child. And
that floored me.

Whoopi is a feminist woman who speaks the truth
and if I could be anyone in the world, it would proba-
bly be her. When she made the statement that she
believed Michael Jackson was innocent--that im-
pacted me. I knew Whoopi wouldnt bulls**t the pub-
lic. She wouldnt say Jackson was innocent if
she knew that he was a danger to children. She
wouldnt say this because she and Jackson are the
same race. Whoopi said what she said because she
knew it to be 100% true.

An Open Letter to People Who Hate Michael Jackson
(or Just Don't Care): My final article on MJ
What Jackson's Mother Said...
Later that evening, Im watching an entertain-
ment news show and I see an old clip of Mi-
chael Jacksons mother speaking about her
sons innocence during the aforemen-
tioned court trial. What she said made me
stop in my tracks and do an about-face. Kath-
erine Jackson said that if her son truly molest-
ed a child, would that child's parents take
money to be quiet? She asked the interviewer
if their child were assaulted, would they go
away quietly with a pocket full of cash? And I
realized the answer is NO.

As a mother of two children, I can absolutely
say that if either of my children were molest-
ed, you couldnt pay me $1 billion dollars to go
away. It would be my job to make sure that
every person on the planet knew who molest-
ed my child and that that person spent the rest
of their miserable lives in prison. No amount of
money could ever make it okay that someone
did the unthinkable to my child.

A Revelation...
After that revelation, I began to process the
whole Michael Jackson is still a child abuser
angle as one that didnt make any sense.
Maybe, just maybe, Michael Jackson has
been innocent this whole time. And if so, im-
agine the horrendous pain and suffering he
endured from an unsympathetic public who
didnt want to ever let him forget what he had
been accused of.

So I ask the public, especially those who may
not be convinced of his innocence still, to
please let this gifted man finallyfinallyrest
in peace. Release all of your grudges, your
suspicions, and your convictions even and let
the trash-talking of Michael cease.

At the very least, we can offer forgiveness.
And perhaps some apologies are in order as
well. The time for judgment is over and the
time for resting in utter peace has begun.
God bless

Photographer John Isaac: Michael Jackson
A wonderful interview with John on working and spending time with
Michael. Going to Neverland to photo Michael and Prince. On Michael's
fans and a surprise Michael had for fans at the concert in Milan. John
could not watch TII concert but see's Michael on a clear starry night.

"BE MY EYES AND SHOW ME EVERYTHING THAT I CANNOT SEE"

[Translated and slight edits to make sense of translation]

Q : The first time you saw Michael:
One day I received a phone call. The voice said: "You are John Isaac?"
I said, "Yes" and asked who he was. The voice said: "Michael." I said
"Michael," The voice said: "Michael Jackson . " I said, "Who" and hung up. A few seconds later the phone rang again,
and Bob Jones was wondering why I had hung up the phone to Michael Jackson! I replied: "It was he really?" and
handed the phone to Michael. He said he was a fan of my photographs. He bought a poster I created for UNICEF,on
which appeared many children because he loved the pictures and wanted to meet me. He asked if I could go to
Neverland and sign the poster. I said I could sign one and send it to New York, but he insisted that I go to Los Ange-
les. Three days later, they came to the Big Apple to film "They Do not Care About Us" (prison version) and he invited
me and my wife Jeannette to go see the movie. So we went and we met. The next day he asked me to spend the
afternoon with him at his hotel in Manhattan and taught my photographic work.
Q: What is the best advice he gave you?
He once told me that I had a knack for photography and should continue to use it to help children around the world
and to help the same cause. He knew how much I care about children. I took him to Brazil when they were finishing
the video "They Do not Care About Us", and he said something I'll never forget ". John, be my eyes and show me
everything that I cannot see " I was so excited that I made photos of children in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and Sal-
vador, while they were filming. I travelled in his private plane to Brazil, it was my first trip with him. Michael always
supported me, he was aware of my provenance. One day he said we both came round to different places and that is
why we both love children. (John Isaac was born in India and spent 20 years working as a photographer of the United
Nations, covering countries such as Vietnam, Rwanda, Sarajevo ...).

Q: You've been to Neverland to take family photos of the first son of Prince Michael and Debbie Rowe. Please tell us
more about this experience.
Debbie was not in Neverland it was just Prince and Michael and I took pictures of father and son. I took the pictures
with Debbie at a hotel in Los Angeles. I've been twice to Neverland. I drove an electric cart around the farm, saw
movies in the theater, climbed on the train. I felt like a kid when I was there! One afternoon we saw a movie together.
I was in the suite of Liz Taylor. Michael was very philosophical, often talked about philosophy and life. He asked me
to tell him things about the children I had photographed around the world. When I worked for the United Nations,
many stories of pain and suffering of all kinds of children.He was always very compassionate towards the less fortu-
nate children.

Q: What is your favorite memory during HIStory World Tour?
At the beginning of the tour in Prague, I think he wanted me to photograph on the stage while he was singing "Heal
the World." I was scared up there in the spotlight with so many fans in front of me, my knees were shaking . Also I
enjoyed meeting fans around the world while traveling with him. I must say that I met many fine young men. Michael
would not have been who he was, if not all the wonderful fans who adored him so much. Being next to the King of
60

"John, be my eyes and show me everything I can not see"
Pop to visit hospitals and orphanages was something especially appreciated.

Q: How many photographic reports did with Michael Jackson?
I'm not sure how many were, I know there were many. Some special calendars for Sony and other announcements.
He also wanted to take pictures with children before each concert.
I also remember you told us that Michael had a surprise for fans at the concert in Milan on June 18, 1997: The photo
of the hands of Michael and Prince on the screens of the stage.

Q: Michael decided to do this? What did he say?
He said it was one of the most special photos he had taken of him and Prince. I captured his hand taking the hand of
Prince and he told me that he liked it so much he wanted to show the fans in Milan . It is one of my favorite too. Mi-
chael does not even appear, only his hand protecting Prince.

Q: What picture of Michael do you feel most proud of?
There are many photos that I like, but one I took during a rehearsal in Los Angeles which was published in a special
Laurent Hopman - Captain Eo Productions (program memory HIStory World Tour - Limited Edition). Michael is at
center stage and all the dancers around with different poses, rehearsing. looks like a painting. Michael really liked this
photo also. All dressed in casual clothes . I have no copy of this negative image because I gave all to Michael.

Q: Why does it sometimes take three cameras at the same time, Michael wanted some special pictures? It also
seemed that he took more photos of fans than him ...
I remember that he wanted every moment of his life to be saved Sometimes he wanted a black and white and the
other two cameras were color photos. Today, with digital technology, you can convert the color black and white with
no problem, but with the old negative it was more complicated. also had three different types of lenses, so I could
shoot quickly without having to change them. After a first selection on my part, Michael chose his favorite, he had
good taste tp select the photos! And Michael was delighted to see the photos of his fans. They were very important to
him.

Q: How did you hear of his sudden death, what was your reaction?
I saw it on TV. I was very, very sad. I felt so sorry for starting so early. However, I know you're up there shining like a
star. Every time I see a clear sky at night I see Michael.

Q: Have you seen the movie Michael Jackson This Is It? can you comment on that?
My wife bought me the DVD. I've only seen parts of it and I grieved so Michael's death that I could not keep watching.
Maybe one day I will see it to the end

Q: What are your plans for the future John Isaac?
I am finishing a documentary about myself as a photographer in Japan I've been documenting on the survivors of the
recent tsunami.While I was in Japan I met some of Michael's fans who were very friendly. In addition, Kodak House is
preparing a permanent collection of my photographs in their museum. Unfortunately, I have no footage of what I took
of Michael on tour or with Michael's baby. I gave them all to his managers.

DISPELLING MYTHS AND RUMORS
Hate is always tragic.
It is as injurious to the
hater as it is to the hat-
ed. It distorts the per-
sonality and scars the
soul. Martin Luther
King, Jr.

Bullying is bullying. No
matter what form it
comes in or what the im-
agined reason. Meanness is meanness. Inhu-
mane treatment toward another human being is a
social injustice no matter what the excuse.
Guerilla decontextualization, coined by poet and
author Aberjhani is the practice of with malice and
intent, deconstructing a human being for the pur-
poses of maligning or worse, nullifying to take
away their impact. power, pulpit or legitimacy and
later, legacy. It is a way to neutralize those who
are innovative, clever, who stand outside the cul-
turally determined boundaries and dare to chal-
lenge it from there. The ones who through their
voice, art and activities, dare us to be better hu-
mans you know the dangerous ones?

Bullying is: attacking another person so as to gain
power over them, deliberately manipulating public
perception of them, to take what they said out of
context (repeat or print the re-arranged or redact-
ed version) to de-legitimize their voice, to discredit
them, humiliate them, ruin their reputation, nullify
them, dissuade people from dealing with them, to
interfere with the natural respect their character
has earned, to harass them, to turn people
against them, to mock them or their work, to mar-
shal a hate campaign against them.

And once again, this practice was witnessed recent-
ly in the fan community while organizing an activity
in honor of Michael. Who mocks, starts a hate
campaign and deliberately harms another in order
to honor Michael Jackson? What? The man who
stood for love? Who gave love over and over until
and beyond where it hurt or was healthy? The man
who when assaulted by those who harmed him
with their jealousy, envy or anger dropped to his
knees to pray for forgiveness for his own instinctive
and uncensored harsh thoughts? And then immedi-
ately prayed for forgiveness and the enlightenment
of the offender?

A bully thinks that they are damaging the other per-
son. In reality, the bully says more about themselves
than their targets. He or she who bullies is revealing
his or her heart in public. Some hearts are not very
pretty, are they? hearts translate into action and
some of those actions arent pretty either. Someone
who is mean-spirited
or abusive to anoth-
er person reveals
how little self respect
and self confidence
they have, how little
they believe in them-
selves or humanity
or that their own rep-
utation will speak
volumes for their
character. Oh, it
speaks volumes al-
right. It
screams
Fail! Foul!

Gary School To Be Renamed After Michael Jackson
GARY A city school will
soon be renamed in honor
of Michael Jackson, Garys
most famous native son.

It hasnt been determined
which school will bear the
Jackson name, said Gary
Community School Corp.
Superintendent Cheryl
Pruitt.

The school board set the
plan in motion Tuesday when it approved a memo-
randum of understanding with Michael Jacksons
mother, Katherine Jackson.

The front-runner to be named after Jackson is Roo-
sevelt, the aging high school that looms behind the
humble, white ranch Jackson family home at 2300
Jackson St.

Pruitt said the district is working with the Jackson
family to select the school building.

A close relationship with the Jackson family to im-
prove the quality of programs for the Gary Commu-
nity School Corp. can mean tremendous gains for
the school district and the city as a whole, Pruitt
said.

Michael Jackson, the eighth child of Katherine and
Joe Jackson, moved away from Gary as a young-
ster as the Jackson 5 gained fame in the 1960s.
While he never attended Roosevelt, he performed
on its auditorium stage in a local talent show with
his older Jackson 5 brothers.

Michael Jackson turned solo in 1971 and went on to
win 13 Grammy awards. Hailed as the King of Pop,
he was credited with 750 million record sales world-
wide before his death in 2009.

Jackson received a warm welcome upon his 2003
return to Gary and he received an honorary diploma
from Roosevelt, one of the stops during his visit.
Jackson also received a hat and leather lettermans
jacket with the inscription To the King of Pop, a true
Panther. He encouraged students to stay in school
and study hard during his visit.

Pruitt said the renaming came about in a conversa-
tion with Katherine Jackson, whos been a supporter
of the school district. She donated $10,000 during
the Gary Promise scholarship event, hosted by
Magic Johnson, earlier this year, Pruitt said. Shes
always wanted something left here. Shes really
dedicated to the Gary Community Schools, Pruitt
said of Katherine Jackson.

The memorandum of understanding was signed by
Katherine Jackson on June 6. It states it does not
establish any contractual relationship between the
parties. It also says the Gary Community School
Corporation seeks to honor Michael Jackson and to
inspire children to excel in the arts and education.
Theres no mention of financial assistance specifi-
cally in the memorandum.

The school district is struggling financially, battling a
$27.3 million deficit that forced the closing of five
schools in June, including Lew Wallace High
School. The closings and reassigning of students to
other schools has officials worried that enrollment
could slump even lower. Officials are keeping a
close watch on enrollment figures and campaigning
to keep their students from transferring to charters
or other schools.

While Roosevelt might seem a likely candidate to be
renamed for Michael Jackson, it isnt operated by
the school district. In 2011, the state took the school
over because of poor test scores. It could return to
the district by 2016.

Meanwhile, the city is working with a not-for-profit
group to demolish and renovate homes on Jackson
Street to stimulate development..

CHILDREN PROJECTS
Announcing Michaels Dream Foundations
intention to restore or rebuild the defunct St.
Mary Mercy Hospital at 555 Polk St. in Gary,
IN as a childrens medical recovery center.

In June of 2013, MDF began the research and
preliminary groundwork to determine if the St.
Mary Mercy hospital site and existing buildings
can be re-used. The environmental studies
and research required to make this determina-
tion alone are costly and time consuming so
we have not made it past the research phase
yet, but it is still something we wish, with all
our hearts, to make happen. There is a possi-
bility that we may begin fundraising soon for
the initial study costs to see if we can even
use the land, and whether or not the building
can be restored or rebuilt. The primary struc-
ture was built in 1908 so there are many fac-
tors to consider.

In July of 2013 we were given an estimated
cost for the site assessment of $9300. Once it
is decided to move forward with this project,
monies already received to the Michaels Chil-
drens Hospital fund will be a starting point to
get the ball rolling, so if you would like to do-
nate now please feel free to do so through the
Donate! Tab on our website.

This is something we are very excited and
passionate about and would love to see the
entire community Come Together to see such
a project through to the end. MDF cannot do it
without YOU!

Please stay tuned for further updates and an-
nouncements regarding this upcoming project.

LIFES PARALLEL
Her 'American Dream' : ANGELA BASSETT SAYS PLAYING THE
MOTHER OF THE JACKSONS WAS EMOTIONAL AND UPLIFTING
Angela Bassett idolized the
Jackson 5 singing group
while growing up in the pro-
jects in St. Petersburg, Fla.
"That was the only group my
mother paid money to have
outfits made to go to their
concerts," Bassett, 34, said in
a recent interview. "When I
was 12, (my mother asked),
'What do you want for Christmas?' 'I want a guitar
like Jermaine.' I took lessons until the money ran
out. I grew up with them."
The Jacksons, she said, were a positive influence
on the African-American community because they
went from near poverty in the steel town of Gary,
Ind., to the top of the Billboard charts. "They were
shopping at the Salvation Army. Just to be able to
look at them and see where this family could
go ..."
Back then, Bassett was just beginning to dream
about becoming an actress. Twenty-two years lat-
er, she is playing the Jackson family matriarch,
Katherine, in ABC's five-hour miniseries, "The
Jacksons--An American Dream."
The miniseries features 38 Jackson tunes, but it
really is Katherine and Joseph Jackson's story. "It
starts with the mother and father and their story,"
Bassett said. I go from 15 to 55."
Even months after finishing "The Jacksons," the
soft-spoken actress still seems to be amazed
she's playing the mother of her role models. "It is
really quite wonderful."

WE OWE HIM
It seems strange to say this, but Michael will always be a
part of me.



No other superstar I worked with wound himself into the
threads at my core the way he did. Michael opened a window
to a quality of wonder unlike anything Id been exposed to in my
life. For that gift, I felt I owed him. I felt we all owed
him. And, we still do. We owe him an honest view of who he
was. We still owe him that until we finally sweep away the crap
of sensationalist headlines and clearly see why those who love
him know more about him than any expert or journalist who
claims to have probed his life. Those journalists and experts do
not know Michael Jackson. But, if you love him, theres a good
chance that you do.
Howard Bloom
The threads of that quotes delicate effect upon my core de-
fine an enduring fabric of unconditional love. I awaken each
morning feeling Michaels quality of wonder, its irresistible
allure beckoning me. I have this ever-growing conviction deep
inside my soul. I am anxious to seize every opportunity I can to
PAY MICHAEL FORWARD. Turning on my computer, I jump
into loving Michael communities, mingling, gaining knowledge,
seeking truths. Michael said that ignorance was the nightmare
of the mind. I know that to be true. And, I fully agree with How-
ard Bloom when he says we owe Michael an honest view of
who he was. I want to share with the world Michaels great
triumphs and his unexpected setbacks. We as human beings
can relate to both. I want these moments to last forever telling
the world truths. When spending time with Michael, I am uplift-
ed, energized, inspired. My mind never stops. Feelings of joy
and pain inform the mood of each article. Everyday reveals
Michaels monumental works, his unparalleled genius, his inex-
haustible efforts to change our world and heal its
wounds. There is a Zen saying, When you are really you, that
is enlightenment. (all4michael) Michael Jackson held nothing
back, when center stage. Each performance was his only per-
formancethe last one. Michael was one soul expressing for
many bodies. (all4michael)
In my lifetime, I have never before known of any individual
whose life and every single part of it was made public. In my
lifetime, I have never before known of any individual whose
life and every single part of it was put under a microscope and
judged. EVERY SINGLE PART. In my lifetime, I have never
before known of any individual whose childrens parentage was
questioned. In my lifetime, I have never before known of any
individual whose marriages were questioned as to their authen-
ticity. In my lifetime, I have never before known of any individu-
al whose accidents and health issues were discounted. The
disrespect and lack of care from one human being to another
brings me to my knees. Just this week, the words grotesque
and pedo were used in an article that was supposed to be dis-
cussing XSCAPE! I believe this is what Howard Bloom refers to
when he says we still owe him until we finally sweep away the
crap
Rarely has an artist been so adept at communicating the vitali-
ty and vulnerability of the human condition. Joseph Vogel
Unconditional love fueled Michael. His ability to share the
heartache, the pain, the injustice, the abuse, brought us to Mi-
chael. It is what holds us to his heartto his life and legacy. It
fuels us to defend him to the world.

LOVE IS THE JUICE, THE ENERGY THAT MOTIVATES MY
MUSIC, MY DANCING, EVERYTHING. Michael Jackson

Michael projected what he felt and that is what winds him into
threads at our core. The rush of wonder we absorb from Mi-
chael glistens within us. We are determined and resilient with a
radiant glow that receives its sparkle from Michaels light. We
will not rest until Michaels truths are known, united in our desire
to make a difference. We LOVE him and we DO know him.

HEAL THE KIDOXFORD UNION ADDRESS
Michael Jackson 2001

Thank you, Dear Friends,
from the bottom of my
heart for such a lovely and
spirited welcome and thank
you, Mr. President, for your
invitation to me. I am so
honored to accept. Thank
you, Rabbi Shmuley, who
served here as rabbi for
eleven years. You and I
have been working so hard
to start HEAL THE KIDS
and our book about child-
like qualities. Through all of
our efforts, you have been such a supportive and
loving friend. I also want to thank Toba Freidman,
our director of operations at HEAL THE KIDS, for
returning tonight to her alma mater where she
served as a Marshal Scholaras well as Marilyn
Piels, another central member of our HEAL THE
KIDS team.

Im humbled to be lecturing in a place that has pre-
viously been filled by such notable figures as Moth-
er Theresa, Albert Einstein, Ronald Reagan, Rob-
ert Kennedy and Malcolm X. I even heard that Ker-
mit the Frog made an appearance here. Ive al-
ways felt a kinship with Kermits message that its
not easy being green. Im sure he didnt find it any
easier being up here than I do. As I look around
Oxford, I cant help but be aware of the majesty
and grandeur of this institution, not to mention the
brilliance of the great and gifted minds that have
roamed these streets for centuries. The walls of
Oxford have not only housed the greatest philo-
sophical and scientific geniuses, they have also
ushered forth some of the most cherished creators
of childrens literature from JRR Tolkien, to CS

Lewis. Lewis Carrolls Alice in Wonderland is im-
mortalized in the stained glass windows of Christs
Church, and, even one of my fellow Americans, the
beloved Dr. Seuss. He graced these halls and then
went on to leave his mark on the imaginations of
young children throughout the world.

I suppose I should start by listing my qualifications
to speak before you this evening. Friends, I do not
have, to claim, an academic expertise of other
speakers who have addressed this hall. Just as
they could lay little claim at being adept at the
moonwalk. And, you know, Albert Einstein, particu-
larly, was really terrible at that. But, I do have a
claim to having experienced more cultures than
most people will ever see. Human knowledge, not
only consists of libraries of parchments and ink, but
its also comprised of
the volumes of
knowledge that are writ-
ten on the human
hearton the human
soul and engraved on
the human psyche. And
Friends, I have encoun-
tered so much in this
short lifetime of mine,
that I still cannot believe

I am only 42. I often tell
Shmuley that in SOUL
years, Im sure Im at least 80. And tonight, I even
walk like Im 80. So please harken to my message,
because what I have to tell you tonight can bring
healing to humanity and healing to the planet.

Through the Grace of God, I have been fortunate to
have achieved many of my artistic and professional
aspirations early in my lifetime. But, these accom-
plishments alone are not who I am. Indeed, the
cheery five-year-old who belted out Rockin Robin
and Ben to adoring fans was not indicative of the
boy behind the smile. Tonight, I come before you,
less an icon of pop (whatever that means anyway),
and more as an icon of a generationa generation
that no longer knows what it means to be children.

FAN TRIBUTES
WHY DEFEND MICHAEL JACKSONS LEGACY?
CONSIDER THIS: WHAT IF ORIGINAL SIN IS DENYING INSTEAD OF
CELEBRATING YOUR ORIGINALITY? EACH OF US POSSESSES AN EX-
QUISITE,EXTRAORDINARY GIFTTHE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE EXPRES-
SION TO DIVINITY ON EARTH THROUGH OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. WHEN
WE CHOOSE TO HONOR THIS PRICELESS GIFT, WE PARTICIPATE IN THE
RECREATION OF THE WORLD.
Julia Cameron

I agree with Alice Koller when she says that perhaps loving something is the only
starting place there is for making our lives our own. The Talmud tells us that, We do
not see things as they are, we see them as we are. Fans of Michael Jackson are
often asked why we bother concerning ourselves with someone who is gone. Why do
we care about his legacy, body of work, history? Does it really matter to any-
one? Arent his children better off moving on? Arent we? My husband and I just
watched the film THE MONUMENTS MEN. It is a World War II story about the men
who risked their lives to save art treasures that had been taken, orwere about to be
destroyed. A truth came home to me that resounded so clearly, attaching itself to the
very core of PAYING MICHAEL FORWARD. If you burn homes and a generation of
people, somehow theyll come back. But, if you destroy their history, their achieve-
ments, then its like they never existedthey are just floating ash. We cannot allow
that. Some say it doesnt matter. Theyre wrong! A history should be held up and ad-
mired. As we rewound the DVD so I could transcribe the quote, I thought about Mi-
chael and everything he left behind. His treasures are endlesshis beautiful children, the massive body of
artistry, the mountain of charitable works, an inspiring legacy that reaches into the lives of hundreds of mil-
lions of people in every country, on every continent.
Michael Jackson inspired love, hope and compassion worldwide through his music and through his
tireless humanitarian work on behalf of the suffering and underprivileged.

"History books will never capture the es-
sence of your humble soul and the lives you
literally saved." Jodi Gomes, Executive Pro-
ducer of"JACK5ONS: A Family Dynasty" and
close personal friend of MJ
The quote above is an excerpt from a heart-
felt letter Jodi wrote as a message to Michael
for his 52nd birthday. She posted it for every-
one to read when MJ fans, friends and family
took Twitter by storm on his birthday, posting
their own personal#MessagetoMJ.
I found her letter to be very profound and
timely, considering within the last couple of
weeks I have had conversations with two dif-
ferent young women who claim exactly that;
Michael Jackson saved their life.
He was once asked how he would like to be
remembered. Michaels response was, "As a
person who came and brought light to the
world, some escapism; also as a voice for
the voiceless children, because I love them.
Im living for the children. If it werent for the
kids, I would throw in the towel."
These two young women have personally
experienced what Michael Jackson knew
better than most; there is a healing power
that comes with love, and it can save your
life. He used his talent in music and dance to
shower the world with an amazing energy of
love that filled his soul.
The first young woman I spoke to, told me
about her painful childhood. She grew up
feeling alone and insecure as a result of
adults who betrayed her. She said to me: "I
am one of those voiceless children. Im tell-
ing you, if he wasnt there, I wouldnt still be
alive today."
She recounted how she spent years looking
into the eyes of adults surrounding her, trying
to find a glimpse of something that would
give her feelings of security and love. The
eyes really are the window to the soul and
she never found what she was looking for.
Then she was introduced to Michael Jack-
son, not in person, but through his music.
"Just hearing him talking about children and
how much he cared about us, made me feel
Im secure and loved and that Im not alone,"
she said. A warm feeling came over her from
the second she saw him, because everything
that she had been looking for in all those
eyes surrounding her, she found in him. He
gave her strength, hope, and made her feel
like she mattered.

You Are Not Alone: How Michael Jackson Saved Lives
73

The second young woman revealed that at age
13, she tried to commit suicide. What she was
enduring in her life was just too much for the
sensitive girl that she was, as she put it. She
tells a chilling story about the day she decided
to take her life:
"One day I was alone at home. I filled the bath-
tub and took a large kitchen knife. I was hear-
ing the sound of my neighbor's radio. I was
peaceful, and I was not afraid at all. I had seen
this scene plenty times in my head, but at this
very moment, I was just calm. I lay in the bath.
There was a cool song playing at my neigh-
bor's house, but I just did not pay attention. I
took the knife next to me, and was about to cut
my veins when the song played louder...
Just the other night, I thought I heard you
cry, asking me to come and hold you in my
arms ... I can hear your prayers, your bur-
dens I will bear but first I need your
hand...then forever can begin...
I just dropped the knife, and I started to cry. I
don't know why, but I did. This is why I'm still
here. Michael saved me; and I'm grateful forev-
er."
We all want to know that we matter, that we are
important to someone in this world,
because it makes us feel worthy of love. Hav-
ing that belief gives us inner strength to thrive
no matter what happens.
Michael said it best, "If you enter this world
knowing you are loved and you leave this world
knowing the same, then everything that hap-
pens in between can be dealt with. A professor
may degrade you, but you will not feel degrad-
ed, a boss may crush you, but you will not be
crushed, a corporate gladiator might vanquish
you, but you will still triumph. How could any of
them truly prevail in pulling you down? For you
know that you are an object worthy of love. The
rest is just packaging."
That is how Michael Jackson made these two
young women feel, like they are worthy of love.
He gave them the strength that comes from
knowing that "You Are Not Alone."
Jodi went on to write in her letter to Michael,
"Video archives will never accurately depict the
excitement you caused EVERY time you set
foot in public or on stage. The best mankind
can do is observe your genius and pay it for-
ward as an example of how a true Angel
walked amongst us."

You Are Not Alone: How Michael Jackson Saved Lives
74

For these two young women, Michael was
indeed an Angel. They have a very special
bond with him now. Both were deeply affect-
ed by his death, but they know they are sur-
vivors. They know they are worthy of love;
he taught them that. They also know they
are part of a global community that loves
them back. Now they are the ones giving
hope and courage to others, all because of
the love of Michael Jackson.
Michael intuitively knew how to make people
feel loved and in doing so, he saved lives.
We should all take the time to observe his
genius and pay it forward to someone in our
lives that may be going through a rough
time.
"Nothing could contain, stop or define the
force that lived within this one man." Jodi
Gomes
That force, expressed as love, saved lives.
Make a difference in someone's life simply
by taking their hand and saying these four
powerful words to them:
You Are Not Alone

Neverland: Music From the Carousel
I walk among the twinkling stars
The childrens laughter guides my heart
The music from the carousel brings me back to Neverland
Castles not upon the sand
But in the hearts of child and man
In the eyes of mothers smiles when they held their babies
hands

Off to ride beneath my stars
Giggles, dreams and hopes of youth
They found healing, love and truth, for a moment touched
the sky
Love creates this magic space
This stuff of dreams time cant erase
The wisdom of the whispering trees brings me back to
Neverland

For Neverland is in your heart
Close your eyes, the magic starts
And you and I who never part find
ourselves by waters edge

From the smiles of youthful eyes
Magic lives and faerie flies
You create a Neverland every time
your love you pledge

I see into your loving mind
That will not leave my land behind
Every act of love divine recreating Neverland
Touch my hand and feel my heart
The children call, Its time to start.
You and I are one as we build new dreams to heal this
world
Quiet now as the music swells
My message flows from each carousel
Hear the melody call your name as we build again sweet
dreams
With every kindness your heart bestows
My magical kingdom grows and grows
Open your eyes to what angels know within every song
they sing

Neverland is not just a place you go; its the LOVE that
makes EVERYTHING

WRGO SPECIAL INTEREST ARTICLES
Valencia AKA Mother Diva Dantzler
JUNE 27-28, 2014
HOFFEMAN ESTATES, IL
SUBURB OF CHICAGO
SEARS ARENA
WRITTEN BY
Valencia Mother Diva Dantzler

WRGO Midwest correspondent Valencia Mother Diva Dantzler was so graciously granted access to cover
the show. The performances were truly a marriage combination of Michael Jackson concert and the Cirque
Du Soliel. The sound, lighting and costumes were magnificent.

The show begins with a mime performing to synchronized
moves. This was very confusing to the audience because it was
hard to follow the point of the mime and what he was trying to
convey to the audience. I enjoyed the second part of the open-
ing number, The 5 SUPER FANS dancing and performing as
window washers to Working Day and Night very clever and in-
novative, this is something I too would have produced, great
minds think alike.

The best part of the show was the fact one of the dancers only
had one leg and was getting down to DANCING MACHINE.
This young man is truly A DANCING MACHINE, he turned his
crutches into dancing props, AMAZING TO SEE. THIS IS EX-
ACTLY WHAT MICHAEL WOULD WANT TO EMPLOY, TAL-
ENTED PEOPLE WHO ARE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED AND
TURNED THEIR HANDICAPS INTO A POSITIVE TALENT.

YOUNG DIVA MJ FAN
WRGO MOTHER DIVA AND
CHICAGO MJ FAN SHELLY
All producers and directors have their own vision on the creative aspects and flow of a show. I
wanted to publish my suggestions in this article, incase my suggestion changes are used in the
Cirques Du Soliel Immortal Show MJ. This article is proof of where it came from.

It is definitely a quality show however, the show could use some changes and upgrades.


SUGGESTION CHANGES

The front cover image design of Michael with his arms open and an explosion of dancers need to be
redesigned. That does not look like Michael Jackson but more like Michael Firestone (A CAUCA-
SION MJ TRIBUTE ARTIST FORMERLY OF THE MOONWALKER SHOW AND MJ LIVE AT THE
RIO IN LAS VEGAS).

Most of us are aware that MJ had Vitiligo, but even with the Vitiligo the features of the image does
not look like Michael. The features look more like that of a Caucasian person. MJ was still an Afri-
can-American man no matter how light his skin was. There are plenty of pictures of him on the
stage where he is opening his arms and screaming that the design could have been taken from.
You dont have to completely make him look like a white man to sell the show to a MAIN STREAM
OR WHITE AUDIENCE. HE IS MICHAEL JACKSON WHETHER HE IS AS WHITE AS A NAPKIN
OR AS BLACK AS MIDNIGHT. PEOPLE LOVED HIM NO MATTER WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE. A
SHOW LIKE THIS WILL SELL TO ANY AUDIENCE, SO KEEP IT ORIGINAL.
88


VALENCIA AKA MOTHER DIVA DANTZLER
Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour By Cirque Du Soleil - Continue
If a graphic artist took Elvis Presleys image and darkened it to make him look like an African
American, to sell a tribute show about Elvis to a black audience people would be outraged.

THE MIME
Remove the Mime from the opening. The opening of the show should be more spectacular. The 5 Super
Fans should pop jump up out of the floor with the beginning of the Bad Track, this will throw the audience off
and make them think the show is opening up with, Bad. When they jump pop up out of the stage they
should have on their cleaning workers uniforms. The wardrobe is great dont need to change, then it goes
into Working Day and Night. The mime should be an agitator in other parts of the show getting on every-
ones last nerve. It would be funny and like a private joke .It would remind insiders about how MJ was con-
stantly getting on the nerves of his friends and colleagues with his practical jokes and 3am phone calls driv-
ing everybody crazy.

BEN:
Get a clip of MJ when he was a little boy with his pet rats on his shoulder and cut to the Academy Awards
nominations for Ben; then cut to MJ singing it live at The Oscars, then cut to the song winning the Golden
Globe Awards. On stage create a large slice of cheese and have a dancing rat come out; and the cheese
comes to life and runs and the rat is chasing the cheese around the stage.

SCARY STORY
According to the description the contortionist changes position with each page turn this is not what I wit-
nessed. The performance needs to be more clean, perhaps she can change a page every 30 seconds and
as she changes the page the lighting on her costume changes or pieces come off. There should be some-
thing different that happens with each page turn. The page should be changed 5 times. The book should
have pictures of MJ on each page, perhaps pictures of him sitting in a chair or in a kings chair with his arms
open and the contortionist places herself in his arms.

headline State of shock: Local girl
meets Michael Jackson. Catina
Scharfs wish was Make-A-Wish Wis-
consins first wish granted. The organi-
zation grants its 5,000th wish Thurs-
day.
Are you tired? someone asked 11-
year-old Catina Scharf shortly after
she arrived at Mitchell Field from New
York City late Tuesday afternoon.
No, she said. No.
Then the Milwaukee girl was off. Dash-
ing here and there. Greeting this person and that person. Posing for pictures.

If you had seen her before, you would have been amazed, because she has been
known to tire rather easily and has spent some time in a wheelchair.

There was no wheelchair at the airport Tuesday afternoon, however, because Catina
was full of energy and full of life.

And why not. Her dream had come true. She had met superstar performer Michael
Jackson Monday night before a Jackson brothers Victory Tour concert at the Mead-
owlands complex in East Rutherford, N.J.

LEGACY PROJECTS
MICHAEL JACKSONS LEGACY
There is never enough said about the team of Michael Jacksons Lega-

we've entered the week to celebrate by remembering Michaels 56th
birthday I want to give an Honorable Mention to the team that make up
MJL and the MJ Community who stand behind and beside them as a
strong support system. I have never saw anything like it before. My tour
of duty, LOL, has not been the greatest in this community but it has not
been all bad either. The WRGO Magazine salute you Team MJL and
God bless you for the wonderful work youve done. You are certainly
true Women of Faith and I personally hold you up to the world as
Women of God. You will be talked about at each corner of the world
for many years. I am sure Michael would be proud of the way you have
chosen to preserve his legacy and I am positive that God is very proud.
The Angels in heaven are singing your praises. God bless you today,
tomorrow and forevermore.

ADLLAW INITIATIVE
A Legacy: Everyone Will Have One Like It Or Not
A persons Legacy has much in common with
a tree. Some will be saplings others aged
oak, but all can continue to grow and provide
long after the person tending it has gone.
Each must weather their own type of ele-
mental disturbances, endure tests of en-
forced glut and drought to insure they can
thrive and survive. When healthy, both can
provide physical and emotional shelter and
support during lifes torrents. Seed from
them can be the beginning of the new. De-
pending upon need, both may be a social
and economic mainstay; a source of creativi-
ty, inspiration, teaching and a way of validat-
ing an existence.
A Legacy like mature trees will bear varied
fruits. Drawing from an achievement, contri-
bution or even a misstep will be according to
a users specific objectives, ties, goals,
tastes and intent.
Each of us will leave something behind when
we die, something you alone touched, so
when people look upon it or think of you, you
are there.
You will be etched into the minds of others
through the stories they share about you,
pass on and hand down which becomes part
of your Legacy. You may diligently build
your Legacy with the future in mind or be ab-
sent minded in its care, or unaware how sig-
nificant it can be and to whom, but it is yours
to fashion and the stories shared should be
told according to your words and deeds, and
none other.
Like with trees the unprincipled destruction of
a Legacy robs future generations of its po-
tential benefits.
There is no law against defaming the dead,
and with that there is no way to protect their
Legacy from being depreciated. Decedents
can be sued through their representatives for
defamation committed while alive and have a
judgment placed against their Estate. The
reverse is not possible.
To keep the unprincipled from vandalizing a
Legacy and robbing those who can gain from
it there must be a law to help protect the de-
ceased from defamation and having the Leg-
acy wrongly characterized.
Please support the CadeFlaw/AdLLaw Peti-
tion Initiative. There are many laws which
protect the deceased as they do the living
against theft, except one, defamation. Lets
change that.

WATCHMAN ON THE WALL
When first wading into the waters of the Michael
Jackson online fan community, I committed a
crime. My offense? Expressing an opinion that
was short of worship for the King of Pop. Mocked
and attacked, I had my loyalty to Michael, his
legacy, his family and even my own Christianity
questioned. Did it make me less of a Christian for
viewing Michael Jackson as a man instead of the
Second Coming and, while were on the subject,
since when are Christianity and being a fan of
Michael Jackson linked? Needless to say, this
person and I remain fellow fans but no longer
friends.

A recent post on www.InnerMichael.com elo-
quently addressed the topic of bullying in the
community. Its a wonderful read. Allow me to
add that the community feels like attending a
segregated concert back in the day. One set of
fans feels entitled to floor seats while the rest of
us are relegated to the balcony. And the two
groups hate each other.

That's right. I have been called ignorant, a dum-
my, a coward, and assorted other things. Hateful
things.

Throughout history, figures like Adolf Hitler, Pon-
tius Pilate and Julius Caesar all had atrocities far
worse than Internet bullying committed in their
names. These days, this particular brand of hate-
fulness seemed unique to the Michael Jackson
fan base. Elvis fans don't do it and neither do
Beatles fans. Even in the case of other contro-
versial musicians like Jerry Lee Lewis, the in-
tense hatred of each other on a personal level is
noticeably absent. So, what is it about Michael
Jackson that provokes this behavior?
Unlike the Beatles, who burned bright then
burned out within a space of ten years, Michael
Jacksons career spanned nearly forty years.
Generations of fans grew up on his music, letting
them into their lives and claiming his as their
own. He was our big brother, our favorite cousin,
and our first love. So, when attacks- be they real
or perceived- begin, the first inclination of some
is to strike back and below the belt. Unfortunate-
ly, this is exactly the opposite of right.

As a Christian woman, I believe that wherever
God is at work, so is the devil. Although MJ
brought us together, the enemy continues to lurk
in corners, working through people and preying
on their weaknesses. I challenge the fan commu-
nity to examine their thoughts, words and ac-
tions. If they aren't "your" thoughts, then call
them out. If your words or actions come from a
place of pride or judgment, acknowledge them,
then discard them.

Were Michael Jackson still with us, I believe it
would sadden him to see his fans acting this
way. We are a tribe of many, spread across the
political, religious and racial spectrum. We may
not always agree, but lets try to treat each other
with the same level of respect that we afford the
memory of the one who united us in the first
place.

Our goal is to support the Michael Jackson fan community by sharing your journey
with Michael before and after June 25, 2009.
We are very interested in your creations and reading about your journey with
Michael. Your story may be that prescription that encourages beginners to move

What you have to offer is important to us. We consider no person or project to be
mediocre. You are important to us. If you wish for anonymity, we will honor that
