Michael Jackson

[artemis]

As I mentioned before, I firmly believe JACKSON was replaced in 1984.

But something tells me the real Michael was not killed...at that time. I don't know why, but I think he was abused for a time and then sacrificed according to one of the Illuminist rituals. That's just one of my gutt feelings.

I think some of the interviews conducted and you saw a childlike alter speaking, I think that was the real Michael. But I do think there was a talented singer/dancer that was quite talented as a Jackson replacement.

However, the "Michael" that was given that "This Is IT" Press conference was not the real Michael. And I'm certain that the "This is It" so called last footage of Michael Jackson being hyped from the so called rehearsal..is either the replacement OR it is computer imaging a hollograph likeness of a "Michael". Something seems weird about the footage I had seen that he didn't seem to interact with the other people onstage...and the voice didn't sound like the real Michael.

About a month ago, my sister showed me a pic of the "Pepsi" Fichael and a pic of the real Michael about that time of the commercial. The person who was caught on fire was NOT Michael. The chin and jawline was much narrower than the real Michael.

I don't recall what magazine it was, something like a People or Us...

Be it as u say, 1984 or anywhere in time, the real MICHAEL is gone. Long gone. Dead. And as I previously said, his replacements suffered the same treatment as he did.

Yes, the "This Is It" Fichael....

Michael Jackson Found Not Guilty Of Plagiarism

Published November 4, 1999 03:51 PMComments and 0 Reactions print emailBy Rob Evans / LiveDaily Editor
A civil court in Milan has rejected the appeal of an Italian songwriter who claimed that Michael Jackson [ tickets ] plagiarized one of his songs, confirming a lower court's judgment in favor of Jackson and Sony Music.

Albano Carrisi (also known as Al Bano [ tickets ]) filed a suit in 1992 alleging that Jackson's song ''Will You Be There'' from the 1991 album ''Dangerous'' was a copy of the Carrisi-penned song ''I Cigni di Balaka'' (''The Swans of Balaka''). In late 1997, an Italian lower court ruled ruled against Carrisi, and he appealed.
''This lawsuit has been pending for 7 years, and we are delighted that Michael Jackson has once again been vindicated, and that justice has been served,'' said Jackson's copyright lawyer, Eve Wagner of Sauer & Wagner LLP. ''This is the fourth time Mr. Jackson has triumphed in an unsubstantiated copyright infringement case.'' Wagner added that Al Bano was ordered to pay legal expenses to Jackson and Sony, among others.

Jackson was found guilty of plagiarism in a separate lawsuit involving the same two songs earlier this year in a Rome criminal court. Of this lawsuit, Wagner stated that ''the criminal court's ruling was groundless and a travesty. The criminal court had not only ignored the previous rulings by six other judges in Jackson's favor, but also the opinion of the court's own expert that there was 'no possibility of plagiarism.'''

Jackson's camp has appealed the criminal judgment, which was handed down in May. Jackson was fined more than $2,000 by the judge in the case, but payment was suspended when it was appealed

Michael Jackson Song Adds Paul Anka Credit Article Comments more in Business »Email Printer

A Wall Street Journal Roundup

The estate of Michael Jackson on Tuesday promised to give singer Paul Anka 50% of the songwriting royalties from "This Is It," the single that was released posthumously early Monday morning.

Representatives of the estate and the Canadian-born Mr. Anka said he is also to receive a co-writing credit.

When the song was first released to radio stations and online by Sony Corp.'s Sony Music Entertainment, Mr. Jackson was listed as the only writer. Critics and Mr. Anka himself quickly complained that the song was indistinguishable from one the men wrote together 26 years ago.

"This Is It" is to be featured on the soundtrack to the coming documentary that features the late superstar, but its genesis was actually in 1983 when it was written for a duets album that Mr. Anka was recording.

The song was then titled "I Never Heard," and Messrs. Jackson and Anka are credited as co-authors on an early 1990s version recorded by a singer named Safire.

"They did the right thing," Mr. Anka, 68 years old, said Tuesday. "I don't think that anybody tried to do the wrong thing. It was an honest mistake."

The string-backed ballad was released on the singer's official Web site and sent to radio stations. It gives advance publicity to the documentary, which was made using footage of Mr. Jackson rehearsing for the concerts that he never got a chance to present.

Representatives of Mr. Jackson's estate acknowledged Mr. Anka's work in a prepared statement. Until Mr. Anka stepped forward, the song's origin was a mystery.

"The song was picked because the lyrics were appropriate because of the name Michael gave his tour," the statement read. "We are thrilled to present this song in Michael's voice for the first time, and that Michael's fans have responded in unprecedented numbers."

Sony Music plans to release the song on a two-CD soundtrack album, along with previously unreleased versions of some Jackson hits, including "She's Out of My Life," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin"' and "Beat It."

Men file abuse suits against Mormons, Boy Scouts

AP – From left to right, plaintiffs identified as John Doe 3, John Doe 2, John Doe 1, give a news conference … By MARCUS WOHLSEN, Associated Press Writer Marcus Wohlsen, Associated Press Writer – 56 mins ago

SAN FRANCISCO – The Mormon church and Boy Scouts of America were named as defendants in lawsuits Monday claiming childhood sexual abuse by youth leaders decades ago.

Alleged victims filed suits against both organizations in San Francisco and Seattle, and against the church alone in Portland, Ore.

The plaintiffs are all represented by Portland attorney Kelly Clark, who has brought similar suits against the church and the Boy Scouts in the past.

In the suit filed in San Francisco Superior Court, three brothers claim the church ignored their complaints about being molested by their Silicon Valley Boy Scout and Mormon youth leader in the 1970s and 1980s.

"These are men who believe in the best of these institutions and believe that this kind of lawsuit can help improve these institutions and prevent child abuse," Clark said. "This is not a lawsuit they brought lightly, but it is one they intend to see through."

The plaintiffs, identified only as John Does, claim they were molested hundreds of times by 65-year-old William Eugene Knox, who married their mother while the abuse was taking place in Sunnyvale, Calif.

A law firm in Canton, Ga., contacted by The Associated Press said it was no longer representing Knox, a Georgia resident. His phone number could not be located.

Clark said the suit was filed weeks ago, but the defendants were only named Monday after a San Francisco judge certified evidence allowing them to be identified publicly. He said a jury would determine the specific amount of any possible damages.

One of the plaintiffs was still a devout member of the church, and two have served as scoutmasters. Clark said one was a former FBI agent.

San Jose attorney Allen Ruby, representing the church in Northern California, said he was not aware of a case in which courts have found a church liable for abuse committed by a family member.

"The allegations in this case are the plaintiffs were abused by their stepfather," Ruby said. The church will defend itself against the suit, he said.

Kent Downing, chief executive of the Boy Scouts' Pacific Skyline Council, said he could not comment because he had not seen the lawsuit.

In the Seattle case, a man now in his early 40s claims he and other boys were abused in the late 1970s by Dustin Hall, an assistant scoutmaster chosen by the church's Shelton Ward near Olympia.

The plaintiff said in a statement released through his lawyer that the abuse — and his failure to protect the others — haunts him.

Hall could not immediately be reached for comment. It was not clear if he still lives in the area or whether he has an attorney. The Pacific Harbors Council of the Boy Scouts did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Chuck Gordon, a Seattle-based lawyer for the church, said it would investigate the complaint and act accordingly.

"While we do sympathize with all victims of abuse, the church will defend itself against any accusation it deems to be false," Gordon said.

The lawsuit filed in Portland on behalf of a man who is now 46 claims a Mormon youth leader abused him between 1974 and 1977. The suit claims the abuse was reported to a church bishop but never communicated to law enforcement.

A lawyer for the church, Steve English, said the church "absolutely and unequivocally" condemns sex abuse and will investigate.

The lawsuit identified the youth leader as Michael Simms and seeks nearly $5 million in damages. Efforts to locate Simms were not successful.

Clark said the plaintiffs were filing civil lawsuits in part because the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges had expired.
