Jackson is Alive

Michael Jackson is still ALIVE, many have raised questions about his death which they believe was a indeed staged. Michael Jackson is NOT dead! How is this statement even true? Let’s get to the facts

He repeatedly said that he wanted to live forever where he took himself as Peter Pan. Sources tell that he even slept in a hyperbaric chamber to remain youthful. Michael was a vegetarian and was reported for having done yoga and meditation. So, how was it possible that he would do a drug overdose and kill himself? Michael always wanted to be in the spotlight, he wanted to know how the world would react to finding out that he had died.

His father Joe Jackson attended the BET awards some few days after finding out about his son’s death. During this moment, CNN interviewed him where he said he was feeling awesome, displayed very little concern for the loss of his son and was up to publicizing his new record label. Sources of a video footage revealed that Jackson’s mother-Katherine was actually shopping at Target, some hours after his son’s death.

News of Jackson’s death caused no grief in his family. His daughter Paris did cry during the memorial which was the only attempt of grief which did not come across as sincere. Soon after the memorial she was spotted dancing and singing. His eldest son was busy chewing gum and did not look disturbed by his father’s death.

Another question raised was why his very closest friends including his divorced wife Lisa Marie Presley did not attend his funeral?

Some months before his death, Michael had passed a fitness test for insurance purpose. Why then cardiologist Conrad Murray, who was even declared bankruptcy in the early 90’s hired just 11 days before his death? Obvious Murray was an easy candidate to blame for his death.

During his memorial, sources tell that The Jackson Family did not allow opening of the casket suggesting that his face had suffered distortion from the resuscitation. Now look at this picture

, his face is very much ok. Why then did they refuse to open the casket, this is because his body was not in the casket.

In January 2009, Michael was reported suffering from a skin infection that could lead to eating bacteria, had emphysema, needed lung transplant, and had intestinal bleeding. He was even photographed on wheelchairs and even felt he was shortly going to die. Later in that month he rocked the world that he was launching the O2 concerts. Video footage was even released of him dancing on stage 2 days before his death. He faked his illness to capture public’s attention which he had learnt from Elizabeth Taylor.

According to many Dr. Halford, Jackson tried to look like white people in order to get in films and on television. Jackson’s physical changes drew a lot of attention and gained wide spread media coverage. It was also presumed that Jackson beached his skin to boost his career. In 1986, Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo which was considered by doctors to be a consequence of damage done by bleaching chemicals over the years. This disease is non-contagious and cannot be cured, but the progression of the patches can be stopped. Once Jackson told his maid Blanca Francia that he bleaches his skin because he does not like being black and he feels that blacks are not liked as much as people of other races.

After Michaels death, Presley gave a statement about her former husband "I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much ... I became very ill and emotionally/spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. I was in over my head while trying ... He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together." [Courtesy of People.com]
