La Toya Jackson said Michael was killed!!!

This is an explosive AFP report quoting Michael Jackson elder sister - La Toya Jackson...

LONDON, Sunday: Michael Jackson was killed by a band of greedy hangers-on, his sister La Toya alleged in interviews with British Sunday newspapers.

The King of Pop’s sister spoke about her younger brother’s death and the aftermath with The Mail on Sunday and the News of the World weeklies.

“I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start,” the 53-year-old said.

“Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person.
People took advantage of that.

“Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart.


La Toya said she had ordered a private autopsy.

Jackson, one of the world’s most popular entertainers, died on June 25 at the age of 50.

“Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them. I said to my family a month ago, ’He’s never going to make it to London’. He was worth more dead than alive.”

Murder under Californian law can include killings that are not premeditated.

La Toya accused a “shadowy” group of cutting her sibling off from his family and friends and forcing him to sign up for 50 comeback concerts at London’s O2 Arena, shows billed “This Is It”.

They saw him as a “cash cow” and “got him hooked on drugs... I think it shocked his system so much it killed him,” she claimed.

“I am not going to stop until I find out who is responsible. Why did they keep the family away? It’s not about money. I want justice for Michael. I won’t rest until I find out what — and who — killed my brother.”

La Toya said Jackson was found in the bedroom of his physician Doctor Conrad Murray.

“Michael walked from his room to Doctor Murray’s room. What happened in there we don’t know,” she said.

La Toya said she was driving to see Jackson in hospital when her mother screamed down the phone: “He’s dead!”.

“I nearly crashed my car,” she said. “My legs went weak... They took me up to the area where Michael had been taken. Mother was crying and Michael’s kids were crying.”

She also claimed jewellery was missing from his house and no cash was found, despite the fact he regularly kept more than a million dollars around.

La Toya said the family had an open coffin viewing before the public memorial in Los Angeles’ Staples Center arena.

She put one of his sequined gloves in the coffin, while his daughter Paris, 11, put a one half a heart-shaped “mood necklace” around his wrist, keeping the other piece.

La Toya said it was Paris’s idea to speak at the memorial.

Of Jackson’s children, she said Paris wanted to be an entertainer, Prince Michael was “assertive”, while Blanket was “very funny, a real prankster like his father.”

La Toya said her brother would “absolutely not” be laid to rest at his Neverland ranch and added that Jackson’s brain, removed in the autopsy, had been put back in his body.

La Toya said Jackson wanted to give up music and become a film director.
“The first one was to be a horror film called ’Thriller’,” she said. “’This Is It’ really was the end. He didn’t want to perform any more.”

She said Jackson updated his will roughly every five years, "so we expect another one to emerge from 2007". - AFP

Michael Jackson legendary performance on Motown 25, Television Special


Michael Jackson debuts the moonwalk during his performance on Motown 25 TV special, 26 years ago..

On March 25, 1983, Jackson performed live on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special, both with The Jackson 5 and on his own singing "Billie Jean".

Debuting his signature dance move—the moonwalk—his performances during the event were seen by 47 million viewers during its initial airing, and drew comparisons to Elvis Presley's and the The Beatles' appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.

The New York Times said, "The moonwalk that he made famous is an apt metaphor for his dance style. How does he do it? As a technician, he is a great illusionist, a genuine mime. His ability to keep one leg straight as he glides while the other bends and seems to walk requires perfect timing".

The most memorable moments during Michael Jackson memorial services

Undoubtedly, the most touching moment came at the very end of the memorial at the Staples Centre, when Michael's daughter, Paris Katherine Jackson, expressed her love for her late father.

The 11 year old Paris said " Ever since i was born, Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine, and i just want to say, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH"..

Others who gave tributes and performances were Brooke Shields, Jermaine Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Magic Johnson, Mariah Carey and many other superstars.

Farewell to you Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. Rest in Peace... Your legacy will live forever and ever and you will always being remembred forever and ever... MJ, you are always in our hearts...

Joby, is an American whose talents have gained him international recognition.

Apart from the approval by MJ himself, his list of credentials include an appearance on the Cover of ROLLING STONE magazine.

Michael Jackson - the dramatic call to 911






THE desperate battle to revive Michael Jackson after his heart attack
revealed in a dramatic transcript of the 911 call.

But judging from the call, the person, in this case Dr Murray who administered CPR to Michael Jackson, apparently did it the wrong way!!

He did it while MJ was still on bed.

He should have done it on a hard surface (on the floor).


In the emergency call, a man is heard telling the operator that a 50-year-old man is not breathing and "needs help".

The caller becomes ever more frantic as the conversation continues and
says Jacko is "not responding to anything" - even as a doctor attempts
to resuscitate him.

This is the full transcript of the call - and you
can listen to it:

Caller: Yes sir I need to, I need an ambulance as soon as possible sir.

Operator: OK sir, what is your address?

Caller: Los Angeles, California. 90077.

Operator: Is it Carolwood?

Caller: Carolwood Drive, yes.

Caller: Yes, he's not breathing sir.

Operator: Ok. And he's not conscious either?

Caller: He's not conscious sir.

Operator: OK, all right. Do you have him, is he on the floor? Where is he at right now?

Caller: He's on the bed sir, he's on the bed.

Operator: OK, let's get him on the floor.

Caller: OK.


Well, that indicates that MJ was on bed when the CPR was done on him.

Operator: OK, let's get him down to the floor. May I help you with CPR right now, OK?

Caller: We need, to get, we need...

Operator: OK, we're already on our way there. We're on our way. I'm going to do as much as I can to help you over the phone. We're already on our way. Did anybody see him?

Caller: Yes, we have a personal doctor here with him, sir.

Operator: Oh, you have a doctor there?

Caller: Yeah, but he's not responding to anything, to no, no, he's not responding to the CPR or anything.

Operator: Oh, OK. We're on our way there. If your guys are doing CPR as instructed by a doctor, he has a higher authority than me, and he's there on the scene. Did anybody witness what happened?

Caller: No, just the doctor sir. The doctor's been the only one here.

Operator: OK, so did the doctor see what happened?

Caller: (Speaking to doctor) Doctor, did you see what happened sir? (Speaking to operator) Sorry, you just, if you can please...

Operator: We're on our way, we're on our way. I was, I'm just passing these questions on to our paramedics, but they're on their way there, sir.

Caller: Thank you sir. He's pumping, he's pumping the chest, he's not responding to anything sir. Please...

Operator: OK, OK, we're on our way. We're, we're less than a mile away, we'll be there shortly.

Caller: Thank you sir, thank you.

Operator: OK sir. Call us back if you need any help. Thank you. Goodbye.

Caller: Yes sir.

AP Exclusive: Insomniac Michael Jackson begged for drug

What really killed Michael Jackson??

The international media is racing against each other to find the answers.

The first media organisation to report exclusively on this aspect will get the "Scoop", thus higher readership and viewers.

The Associated Press, AP is ahead of other giant press agencies such as AFP (agencee French Presee), Reuters, CNN, BBC, ABC, NBC etc when they reported today about the possible cause of MJ's death.

AP reported that prior to his death, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson was suffering from acute insomnia (sleep deprivation)that he wanted to get rid of with whatever means, which ultimately led to his death.

Based on an EXCLUSIVE interview with Cherilyn Lee, a nurse who specialises in nutritional counseling, AP reported that she repeatedly rejected MJ request for Diprivan, a drug functioning as a powerful sedative, to make people sleep.

Here is the exclusive story by AP :

Michael Jackson was so distraught over persistent insomnia in recent months that he pleaded for a powerful sedative despite warnings it could be harmful, says a nutritionist who was working with the singer as he prepared his comeback bid.

Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse whose specialty includes nutritional counseling, said Tuesday that she repeatedly rejected his demands for the drug, Diprivan, which is given intravenously..

But a frantic phone call she received from Jackson four days before his death made her fear that he somehow obtained Diprivan or another drug to induce sleep, Lee said..

While in Florida on June 21, Lee was contacted by a member of Jackson's staff..

"He called and was very frantic and said, `Michael needs to see you right away.' I said, 'What's wrong?' And I could hear Michael in the background ..., 'One side of my body is hot, it's hot, and one side of my body is cold. It's very cold,'" Lee said..

"I said, `Tell him he needs to go the hospital. I don't know what's going on, but he needs to go to the hospital ... right away.".

"At that point, I knew that somebody had given him something that hit the central nervous system," she said, adding, "He was in trouble Sunday and he was crying out.".

Jackson did not go to the hospital. He died June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest, his family said. Autopsies have been conducted, but an official cause of death is not expected for several weeks..

"I don't know what happened there. The only thing I can say is he was adamant about this drug," Lee said..

Following Jackson's death, allegations emerged that the 50-year-old King of Pop had been consuming painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants. But Lee said she encountered a man tortured by sleep deprivation and one who expressed opposition to recreational drug use..

"He wasn't looking to get high or feel good and sedated from drugs," she said. "This was a person who was not on drugs. This was a person who was seeking help, desperately, to get some sleep, to get some rest.".

Jackson was rehearsing hard for what would have been his big comeback — his "This Is It" tour, a series of performances that would have strained his aging dancer's body. Also, pain had been a part of his life since 1984, when his scalp was severely burned during a Pepsi commercial shoot.


Several months ago, Jackson had begun badgering Lee about Diprivan, also known as Propofol, Lee said. It is an intravenous anesthetic drug widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. It is generally given through an IV needle in the hand..

Patients given Propofol take less time to regain consciousness than those administered certain other drugs, and they report waking up more clear-headed and refreshed, said University of Chicago psychopharmacologist James Zacny..

It has also been implicated in drug abuse, with people using it to "chill out" or to commit suicide, Zacny said. Accidental deaths linked to abuse have been reported. The powerful drug has a very narrow therapeutic window, meaning it doesn't take doses much larger than the medically recommended amount to stop a person's breathing..

An overdose that stops breathing can result in a buildup of carbon dioxide, causing the heart to beat erratically and leading to cardiac arrest, said Dr. John Dombrowski, a member of the board of directors of the American Society of Anesthesiologists..

Because it is given intravenously and is not the kind of prescription drug typically available from pharmacists, abuse cases have involved anesthesiologists, nurses and other hospital staffers with easy access to the drug, Zacny said..

In recent months, Lee said, Jackson waved away her warnings about it..

"I had an IV and when it hit my vein, I was sleeping. That's what I want," Lee said Jackson told her..

"I said, 'Michael, the only problem with you taking this medication' — and I had a chill in my body and tears in my eyes three months ago — 'the only problem is you're going to take it and you're not going to wake up," she recalled..

According to Lee, Jackson said it had been given to him before but he didn't want to discuss the circumstances or identify the doctor involved..

Londell McMillan, attorney for Katherine and Joe Jackson, talked about Lee's disclosures Tuesday on CNN..

"It's a hearsay comment. It would be inadmissible anywhere in a court of law," he said. "I also wonder why anyone would make a comment about something that they don't have much knowledge about. They didn't see the drug administered. It's again because of the Michael Jackson factor

Lee said he singer drew his own distinctions when it came to drugs versus prescription medicine..

"He said, `I don't like drugs. I don't want any drugs. My doctor told me this is a safe medicine,'" Lee said. The next day, she said she brought a copy of the Physician's Desk Reference to show him the section on Diprivan..

"He said, 'No, my doctor said it's safe. It works quick and it's safe as long as somebody's here to monitor me and wake me up. It's going be OK,'" Lee said. She said he did not give the doctor's name..

Lee said at one point, she spent the night with Jackson to monitor him while he slept. She said she gave him herbal remedies and stayed in a corner chair in his vast bedroom..

After he settled in bed, Lee told Jackson to turn down the lights and music — he had classical music playing in the house. "He also had a computer on the bed because he loved Walt Disney," she said. "He was watching Donald Duck and it was ongoing. I said, `Maybe if we put on softer music,' and he said, `No, this is how I go to sleep.'".

Three and a half hours later, Jackson jumped up and looked at Lee, eyes wide open, according to Lee. "This is what happens to me," she quoted him as saying. "All I want is to be able to sleep. I want to be able to sleep eight hours. I know I'll feel better the next day.".

Lee, 56, is licensed as a registered nurse and nurse practitioner in California, according to the state Board of Registered Nursing's Web site. She attended Los Angeles Southwest College and the Charles Drew University of Medicine and Sciences in Los Angeles.

Can a comatese patient be revived??

It was reported that prior to his death, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson fell into a coma upon arrival at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital in Los Angeles.

Well, the question is, can a comatose patient be revived??

According to a few articles below, the answer is YES.

Among the methods being used are electrotheraphy, herbs and spirituals!!

But for me, everything has to do with divine intervention (God's miraculous act)

Article 1 - dated November 27, 1997, reported by Xinhua news agency
Doctors in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, have revived a comatose patient following 30 days of electrotherapy.

The course of therapy marks the first time Chinese doctors have successfully used electrotherapy to revive a comatose patient.

Several months ago, Zhu Lixing, 36, lapsed into a coma resulting from an intracerebral hematoma. Zhu remained in a comatose state following removal of the hematoma, according to today's Guangming Daily. Doctors at the China Brain Revivification Center, affiliated with the Nanjing Marine Medical School, conducted high-level consultations and decided to treat Zhu ...

Article 2 - reported by the internet journal of the third world medicine, happened in Indonesia, sometime in 2001.

Daisy (not real name), then a 21-year-old female, presented with vomiting and headaches. A CT scan indicated obstructive hydrocephalus. Her condition returned to normalcy after the installation of V-P shunts. Barely one and a half years later Daisy suffered a relapse. Subsequent imaging indicated tumors in the brain and this was diagnosed as pineoblastoma.

Daisy was in a coma and had to be warded in the intensive care unit of the hospital. Medically she was written off. Doctors told her parents to find whatever "cures" they thought would help Daisy.

A stranger told her parents about CA Care herbs. Two weeks after taking the herbs, Daisy emerged from coma and was discharged from the hospital. She suffered total memory loss and had to learn how to read and do the basic household chores all over again.

Daisy remained well for more than 5 years. She only took herbs. In June 2006, Daisy suffered pain in her eyes and had blurred and multiple visions. Her problems were resolved after taking more herbs.

The 3rd article was posted on the Church of Scientology of Dallas, sometimes in 2008.
It read as follows:

When Scientologist Lorraine Baritz of Boston was called to the hospital by friends whose 13-year-old son was in a coma and on life-support four days after a severe motorcycle accident, she knew exactly what she had to do to help.

The doctors had done all they could and the boy’s anxious parents could only wait, wondering if he would ever wake up.

But Lorraine, a Scientology Volunteer Minister, knew the boy needed not just medical help, but spiritual aid—and she went into action. At 10 p.m. she administered the first of several Scientology procedures called simply “assists.” By midnight, the boy was resting more easily. By morning, he opened his eyes, awakening from his coma and began to breathe without life support. Two days later, he left intensive care.

News of the recovery traveled through the hospital, reaching others standing vigil by their own children. A couple with an infant son in a coma asked for help. Again Lorraine answered the call.

The outcome was reported in the local Boston People’s Voice newspaper:

“When Church of Scientology volunteer minister Lorraine Baritz used her spiritual training to revive a 13-year-old motorcycle accident victim from a coma in a Boston hospital recently, it was considered a miracle.

“When she revived a baby from a coma a few days later,” the article continued, “it was obvious that there is a workable way to save many lives.”

For Lorraine Baritz, success in helping people is routine. “I know something effective can be done about the pain and suffering in people’s lives,” she says. “As a Scientology Volunteer Minister, I know I have the ability to help anyone, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem.”

Let Michael Jackson rest in peace



Barely 24 hours after the King of Pop, Michael Jackson death, made world headlines around the world, speculations after speculations emerged on the megastar possible cause of death...

Questions are also being asked on the future and welfare of his 3 children.

People are also speculating on his assets, worth millions of dollars.

Come on, let Michael Jackson rest in peace.

Let just wait for the official notification by the coroner on what really caused MJ's death..

I am sure MJ somehow or somewhere left a will on how to properly take care of his children, his assets and his fortunes.

One thing for sure, Michael Jackson died peacefully.

There were no gunshot wounds, no rope tied to his neck and no bodily harms.

Other superstars died in bizzare circumstances.

Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain shot himself in the head, INXS vocalist, Michael Hutchence hanged himself, David Carradine was found tied in the neck, Jimi Hendrix chocked in his own vomit, Metallica's bassist, Cliff Burton died in an accident in Sweden, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe died in mysterious circumstances, James Dean died in a car crash in 1955 and Freddy Mercury died of Aids.

But those megastars and superstars who died, no matter in what way their lives ended, will always be cherished and remembered deep in our hearts.

Let Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Freddy Mercury, Jimi Hendrix, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, David Carradine, Cliff Burton, Kurt Cobain and other stars, Rest In Peace...

Farewell to the King of Pop - Michael Jackson




















Michael Jackson, the undisputed King of Pop, MJ, the wacko, the megastar from Indiana, the best of the best, has died today at around 2.26 pm (US time) in Los Angeles, of suspected cardiac arrest, accordig to his brother, Jermaine Jackson.

Michael Jackson was 50.

He leaves behind a pop legacy, unheralded, undisputed and unrivalled.

His 1982 album, "Thriller" sold 109 million copies.

Altogether, Michael Jackson sold approximately 250 million albums (that is quarter of a Billion)!!!!

Nobody, not even Madonna, Britney Spears, U2, Metallica, Bee Gees, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Lady Gaga, Lionel Ritchie and Kenny Rogers, can beat that figure until now. It is a world record, and it still stands till now.

The success of Thriller enabled Michael Jackson to win 8 Grammy Awards that year.

His talent was unique and sometimes referred to as from out of this planet!!

His music, lyrics, costumes, dance moves, styles, dressings, and everything, came from the future, perhaps from planet Mars!!

Nobody will forget the white gloves, the king costumes, the hair, the shoes, the metallic pants, the moon walk, the shriek, the "ouuuuuu", the 360 degree plus plus movement and many many more.

Hail to the King of Pop.

We will miss you MJ.

Rest in peace.

Below are some of Michael Jackson classics.
