The year 2014 in retrospect – what does it tell us?

The same obsession we saw again with Diane Dimond who used Tom Sneddon’s death to remind everybody of her friendship (and cooperation) with the DA, whom she called on her FB site “a man of integrity”, claiming Sneddon “had the courage to do the right thing even though law enforcement knew for years about Mr. Jackson and his misbehavior with young boys.” With this she publicly stated the allegations again as fact, although Jackson was acquitted of all charges. This is nothing else but character assassination. She also calls it “a testament to the facts” that “five young men have now come forward to claim they were molested at the hands of Michael Jackson when they were young boys. Five. Five. I’m betting there are more.”
(Oh my God, what an overwhelming number compared to real child molesters – and not fictional ones like MJ.)

Diane Dimond – her obsession: “Five. Five. I’m betting there are more.”

This way she construes her own reality which doesn’t include that three of these five young men were refuted in court long ago (Jordan Chandler, who never wanted to be a witness and refused to present any accusations to the court; Gavin Arvizo, who was caught in lies in court and showed himself to be much more angry at Michael for avoiding him than about any “molestation”; and Jason Francia, who only talked about “tickling” and was laughed out of the courtroom because he couldn’t be taken seriously).
And the other two (new) accusers – Robson and Safechuck – denied molestation for years and now changed their mind after the “molester” is dead and left an Estate worth billions of dollars behind. They have not yet proven their case (and will not be able to), and still Dimond calls their accusations “fact”. So she gives them the benefit of the doubt she never gave to Michael Jackson? This makes her a highly immoral, biased person who doesn’t care for civil and human rights, at least not in the case of Michael Jackson.
She also calls MJ’s supporters “childish and ill-informed”, only to distract from her own twisted reality and disinformation.
This shows again how tabloid journalists try to manipulate public opinion and use their position for personal agendas.
For this reason, I now want to remind everybody that Diane Dimond clearly has no interest to pursue real pedophiles (where is her investigation of Rodney Allen or her decrial of all the other convicted or suspected pedophiles?) and even cooperated with a suspected pedophile – Victor Gutierrez – , who has a connection to NAMBLA and of whom she doesn’t want to hear today (if you mention him as her collaborator you are blocked). This again makes her a highly immoral person.
You can find a lot of information about all of this on this blog.

To remind you, please also see this link about the connection between Sneddon, Dimond, Gutierrez and Allen.

We also saw how the usual haters tried to strengthen their forces to support Robson and Safechuck and to destroy Jackson’s legacy and undermine the success of the MJ Estate.
I want to recommend again Raven’s series of posts on the Allforlove Blog on the actions of these haters and how all of them are connected: Part 1, part 2, part 3.

MJ legacy on the advance

But I don’t want to dwell on all this negativity, instead I wish to point to some positive events and developments which show us that MJ’s legacy is not really in danger on a worldwide basis.
The good thing is that all of this could not damage Michael Jackson’s posthumous success.
We had some positive events and publications about Michael this year and it turned out that all the mean efforts of his few haters didn’t influence the general public or find much attention in the mainstream media.

The Immortal World Tour of Cirque du Soleil was a major success. With 501 shows in 27 countries it became the 7th highest grossing tour of all time. It ended in August in the US.

In May we saw the release of “Xscape”. Whether you liked the album or not, it was quite a success and became number 1 in 52 countries.
Of course, like with all posthumous releases of MJ, the fan base was divided about it, and other controversies followed, like the Hologram controversy and the sale of Neverland controversy.
But this was primarily within the fan base, the general public saw Michael Jackson mostly as number 1 of the top earning dead celebrities (according to Forbes) with one of the most successful Estates.
This year also brought us a couple of positive new books about Michael that again divided the fan base, but I think the fans should more often see such books from the public’s point of view. In my opinion all of them contributed to a better understanding of Michael and his life. Even if we have to assume that they are mainly read by fans, there is a possibility that more people learn more about MJ and may change their mind.
“Michael Jackson Inc.” by Zack O’Malley contributed to the fact that MJ was a savvy and farsighted businessman who was in charge of his work, a musical genius who reached his success and wealth by talent, cleverness, endurance, discipline and hard work for decades.
“Remember the Time” by B. Whitfield and J. Beard presented Michael as a human being, a great father and a man interested in women. It contributed to the fact that the trial of 2005 brought him into a terrible situation with all its consequences of financial, social and psychological troubles. From this book we can see how Michael tried to keep his empire together to make a new start, but lost overview and influence on his own assets as a result of this trial and ended in the hands of a ruthless company like AEG who used this situation for themselves.
In addition, the co-author of the book, Tanner Colby, wrote a great article here.
“Michael Jackson’s Dangerous” by Dr. Susan Fast contributed to the fact that MJ was an intelligent and “incredibly versatile” artist who had a lot to say, but was very misunderstood and had to fight against prejudice and a white-dominated entertainment industry that undervalued his genius and at the same time saw him as a threat.
“Otherness and Power: Michael Jackson and His Media Critics” by Susan Woodward contributed to the fact that Michael was regarded too powerful by his critics and so was portrayed as a threat to the world. Woodward describes how media critics reacted to the perceived power and otherness of MJ and what they are projecting onto him.

[Sie müssen registriert oder eingeloggt sein, um das Bild sehen zu können.]A quote from her recent conversation on “Dancing with the elephant”:



“[…] let me just note that none of the writers that I analyzed in my book were tabloid writers. It’s shocking that so much hatred was spewed at him from people who write as if they were offering good reporting and thoughtful analysis. And it is disappointing that so much of the public accepted lies and distortions as the truth.”



(The latter two books I have not yet read, but read reviews on them.)



In October, Thriller Live in London had its 2000th performance and was extended to September 2015.[Sie müssen registriert oder eingeloggt sein, um das Bild sehen zu können.]



Michael Jackson ONE, which premiered in Las Vegas on June 29, 2013, became “the latest piece of a postmortem empire”, as Zack O’Malley called it. A Las Vegas show like that can become a lucrative permanent source of income for the Estate for years and provide Michael’s children a secure future.



I know there are different opinions about all of these Estate efforts among Michael’s supporters and some steps might be in fact disputable, but it is a clear fact that the efforts of Michael’s detractors since his death could not really damage his legacy and the financial success of his Estate, which is probably their intention. They try hard to ruin the Estate, and the Robson/Safechuck case is a real challenge for the Estate, so I support the petition to hire Tom Mesereau and Susan Yu in case it goes forward, but what is obvious is that the general public is not following these cases much. On the contrary, we can read many comments that show that the public is tired of these accusations, which are always only allegations and never proven and illogical at that. Simply allegations of the same kind as those of several women who claimed he had fathered their children. People now respect Michael more than 10 years ago and rather want to have good memories of him than hear all this new garbage. They are no longer interested in it.
Michael is celebrated and honored in school events, sports events, music events, dance events, casting shows, symposia, in university studies, cultural studies, academic publications. As we can see from many YT videos, he still inspires kids and young people, and even CEOs like this one.



Just have a look here on Joe Vogel’s list of Michael Jackson studies.



So there is one thing at least that struck me as a positive outcome of this year: I very strongly could ascertain for myself that Michael Jackson’s legacy will survive all the malicious attempts of his haters to damage it. I always feared it could take decades to be sure of it, but you already can see it now. It became clear that the group of haters is small, they may be well-organized and use the effective methods of propaganda, but they don’t reach the influence they wish to have. They should learn the lesson that hate does not pay off.



This does not mean that we can stop our vindication work and our efforts to inform and tell the truth. We hope to be able to continue writing on this blog whenever it is necessary to respond to lies, half-truths, vilifications and misrepresentations about Michael.

Yes, we finally should listen to Michael Jackson, not only in the US, but all over the world.

As most of the conflicts worldwide are based on lies and propaganda, we first need to evaluate the reality honestly, find out the truth and expose the lies. When the lies are exposed, most of the reasons for the conflicts are removed. People would realize that they were angry at their alleged adversaries for wrong reasons, and a mutual understanding could begin. By studying Michael’s life we already learned how the system of lies works, and the same happens in politics and conflicts between nations and religions.

I know we can’t change the whole world and we can’t change people who have no interest in this mutual understanding and just care about their own benefit. But we ourselves, who wish to make a difference, can make our contribution and do our part so that the world despite all the terror is still a world worth living in. We can do that in our own small environment and we can do it in the worldwide web with its great chances to make our voices heard.
We need to establish a balance to the actions of those who spread negativity and falsehood, and we shouldn’t stop. Michael is gone and other greats are gone who had visions for a better world, so we have to take over and become the visionaries inspired by them.

I now wish everybody a Merry Christmas and – despite all pessimistic prospects – a better year 2015. I wish it especially for our Helena who urgently needs our encouragement that better times will come back and human rights, truth and democracy will be re-established. Let’s simply visualize it, even if it might take years.
I also wish it for our African-American brothers and sisters in the US who are still defending their equal rights against white predominance. And of course I wish it for all nations, groups and religions that are oppressed and persecuted. So let’s pray for peace on earth particularly at this Christmas 2014.

Danke Fleur fürs Einstellen all dieser positiver Artikel zu Michael. Das macht Hoffnung, dass die Welt eines Tages erkennen wird welch ein sehr besonderer Mensch Michael war.

Tut mir total leid, aber ich hab im Moment einfach keine Zeit, das zu übersetzen, fand aber den Artikel so wichtig, dass ich ihn einfach trotzdem gepostet habe ... vielleicht schaffe ich es nach Weihnachten. Leider konnte ich ihn auch nur so "zerrissen" einstellen, es wurde immer wieder angezeigt "Beitrag zu lang" ...

Zitat :

sorry, aber das war mir zuviel englisch....... [Sie müssen registriert oder eingeloggt sein, um das Bild sehen zu können.]

Habe leider auch kaum Zeit, habe jetzt zwdurch auf die Schnelle einen kleinen Teil üb. Diamond übersetzt:

" (… ) Dieselbe Besessenheit  sahen wir mit  Diana Dimond, die  den Tod von Tom Sneddon  nutzte, um jeden  an  ihre Freundschaft (und Kooperation) mit  DA zu erinnern,  den sie auf ihrer Facebook -Seite als “Mann von Integrität” bezeichnete, wo  sie behauptet, Sneddon “hatte den Mut, die richtige Sache zu tun, obwohl sogar die Strafverfolgung seit  Jahren über Mr. Jackson und sein Fehlverhalten mit Jungen wusste.”  

 Damit   legte  sie  öffentlich die  Beschuldigungen wieder als Fakt dar, obwohl Jackson von allen Anklagepunkten freigesprochen war.

Das ist  nichts anderes als Rufmord.  Sie  bezeichnet es noch als: “ Beweis zu den Fakten“, dass “fünf junge Männer jetzt  an Behörden meldeten, dass sie von  Michael Jackson belästigt wurden, als sie Jungen waren. Fünf. Fünf.  Ich wette, es sind mehr.”
(...)
Auf diese Art analysiert  sie ihre eigene Wirklichkeit, die   aber außen vor lässt, dass  drei von diesen 5 jungen Männern  lange her  vor Gericht gestrichen wurden.


(Jordan Chandler, der niemals  als Zeuge auftreten wollte und  auf jegliche Anschuldigungen vor Gericht verzichtet hatte;
Gavin Arvizo, der vor Gericht bei Lügen ertappt wurde und sich selbst als jemand zeigte, der viel mehr  über Michael ärgerte, der ihn mied als über irgendeine „Belästigung“  und
Jason Francia, der nur  über  “Kitzeln” erzählte, was im Gerichtssaal zum Lachen war, weil das nicht ernst genommen werden konnte).
Und die anderen beiden (die neuen) Ankläger – Robson und Safechuck – wiesen die Belästigung vor Jahren zurück und änderten ihre Meinung jetzt, nachdem der „Belästiger“   starb und den Vermögenswert an Milliarden von Dollars hinterließ.

Sie haben nie ihren Fall bewiesen (und werden es nie können), und  Diamond bezeichnet deren  Beschuldigungen als “Fakt”.

So zieht sie  Vorteil  für sie im Falle des Zweifels heraus, den sie nie für Michael Jackson übrig hatte?  Das macht sie äußerst  unmoralisch und zur voreingenommenen Person, die sich nicht um Bürger-und Menschenrechte kümmert,  zumindest nicht im Falle von  Michael Jackson.

Sie  bezeichnet  MJ’s Fans als “infantil und unzureichend informiert”, nur um von ihrer eigenen  verdrehten Realität  und Desinformation abzulenken.

Das  zeigt wieder mal, wie  die Boulevard-Journalisten versuchen, die öffentliche Meinung  zu manipulieren und ihren Standpunkt für  ihre privaten Zwecke zu nutzen.

Deshalb will ich jetzt jeden daran erinnern, dass  Diane Dimond  zweifellos  kein Interesse daran hat, echte Pädophile zu verfolgen (wo ist  ihre Recherche im Fall von Rodney Allen oder ihre Verunglimpfungen  von allen anderen verurteilten oder mutmaßlichen Pädophilen?)  und sogar  kooperierend mit dem mutmaßlichen Pädophilen  – Victor Gutierrez – , der eine Verbindung zu  NAMBLA hat und von dem sie heute nicht hören will (wenn Sie ihn als ihren Mitarbeiter erwähnen, werden Sie gesperrt).  Das macht sie  noch mal zur äußerst unmoralischen Person. 

Sie können eine Menge Information über das alles in diesem Blog finden.

Um Sie daran zu erinnern: Bitte  sehen Sie sich  diesen link  an  über die Verbindung zwischen Sneddon, Dimond, Gutierrez and Allen.


Wir haben auch gesehen, wie die üblichen Hasser versuchten, ihre Macht  zur Unterstützung  von Robson und Safechuck zu stärken und Jacksons Erbe zu zerstören und den Erfolg von  MJs Nachlass zunichtezumachen.


Ich will noch mal Raven’s Reihen von Posts im  Allforlove Blog über  Vorgehen dieser Hasser empfehlen und wie sie alle miteinander verbunden sind :  Part 1, part 2, part 3."
