Jacko Story Goes on
by Ian Mosley
The revolting Michael Jackson saga just goes on and on and on. The world seems to have decided that it’s time he was stripped of his estimated $450 million net worth, and now everyone wants a piece of “poor” Jacko. First it was assorted parents of his pre-pubescent boys trying to shake him down, and now all his former friends and employees are lining up for a piece of the Jacko pie.
According to an article in the Associated Press, “A former associate suing Michael Jackson for $1.6 million suddenly claimed on the witness stand Friday that he once was dispatched to help the pop star adopt boys in Brazil, but the singer’s attorney denounced the story as a smear…Even the lawyer for former Jackson associate F. Marc Schaffel said he was shocked when Schaffel blurted out the claim while being questioned about his background in the gay pornography business. ‘It was an effort to smear Mr. Jackson with a remark that could be interpreted to hurt him in light of the case against him last year,’ [Jackson's attorney] Mundell said. Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges last year in Santa Maria.” (You know, it must be hell being Jacko’s attorney. There are always more sickening surprises around every corner.)
The AP article goes on to state that “Schaffel is seeking $1.6 million from Jackson, down from the $3.8 million his lawsuit originally claimed he was owed for unpaid loans, royalties and other debts.” Schaffel was being questioned about his personal ties in Brazil when he denied that he had been on a trip to recruit talent for gay videos. Schaffel bristled and…blurted out, ‘The main purpose of my trip was Mr. Jackson wanted to adopt some boys.’ He had testified earlier that Jackson sent him to Brazil in 2001 to deliver $300,000 to a ‘Mr. X’ in Argentina and said he went to Brazil to withdraw the money from a personal account he had there.”
It’s getting hard to believe Michael Jackson was once more famous for his music videos than being a serial “suspected” child molester. The first sign of probable mental illness by Jackson involved his obsession with plastic surgery. He went through several transformations starting off as a typical bubble-lipped African, then he had himself medically transformed into a Puerto Rican and most recently he looks like an albino pixie. Jackson has been legally investigated at least twice and charged and tried once for molesting little boys. The law in California was actually changed to prevent wealthy molesters from buying the silence of their victims and their families after Jackon foiled one investigation by making a 20 million dollar pay off to the family of one “alleged” victim.
Like most pedophiles, Jackson can’t change his behavior even at the risk of losing all his money or being arrested again and sent to prison. Jackson’s uncontrolled urges thus make him an easy mark for any unprincipled single parent willing to use their own boy as bait to shake down a few million. Jackson has fled to a palace in Bahrain. Since he won’t change his behavior, perhaps he sought out a place where such behavior is overlooked if the perpetrator is rich enough. (Then again, the US was that country until the lawyer bills got too high.)
