Michael Jackson: I'm a magnet for miracles

Image Flag

MYSTERIOUS messages written by Michael Jackson in his final hours - revealed today for the first time - show the singer's bizarre state of mind before his drug addiction killed him.

The News of the World has uncovered a series of "wishes for the world" which were left on the mirror in the tragic star's cluttered bathroom.

On Post-its notes and sheets of paper, they were scribbled as the doomed 50-year-old star tried to focus his mind on the daunting London tour dates ahead through a drug-induced haze.

In one the dazed singer even had to remind himself to include one of his BIGGEST HITS in the concerts.

Friends believe he was using the messages to gee himself up for rehearsals in the week of his death.

One said: "These notes show that Michael was positive until the last - but also what a mess his mind must have been as he fought to keep it all together towards the end."

NOTE NUMBER ONE: Stuck on the right of his gold-framed mirror with wall-mounted chandeliers either side, it read:

"I am so grateful that I am a magnet for miracles."

Pals believe it shows that Jacko was already trying to seek help for his prescription drugs addiction.

The "magnet for miracles" phrase is used in US self-help programmes for recovering alcoholics to give them back self-esteem.

US author and talk show host Dr Joan Hangarter - who coined the phrase and wrote a book called The Miracle Makers Club - believes the more you say it to yourself the better your chances of making things go your way.

NOTE NUMBER TWO: Pinned to the bottom of the mirror where Jackson could see it as he made himself up, a message in large handwriting read: "Love, no violence ever!"

And underneath, in smaller handwriting, he had added:

"Remember a beautiful future promise of tomorrow."

A friend of Jacko told us: "I think this reveals how positive Michael was until the last. He was such a sweet natured man who saw the good in everyone.

"The note about a beautiful future is especially sad as it shows how he was looking forward to a successful, happy life."

NOTE NUMBER THREE: An astonishing reminder is stuck above the "beautiful future" message on a sticky yellow post-it. It reads:

"Do We Are The World in show".

That's - a reference to the smash-hit charity single he recorded with 60-year-old soul legend Lionel Ritchie in 1985.

NOTE NUMBER FOUR: "Call Temperton" is scrawled on a blue Post-it note - referring to British songwriter and producer Rod Temperton, 62, who co-wrote several Jackson songs including Thriller and Rock With You.

Also in the bathroom is a business card for his business manager Dr Tohme Tohme to remind him of his phone number.

Our source said the last two notes revealed Jackson's frail state of mind.

"It's worrying that he had to write reminders about things as obvious as these while he was rehearsing for his tour. And he would have had Dr Thome's number in his phone - so why would he need the card?" said the source.

"But the drugs he was taking obviously had a huge impact on his mind and memory."

Near the mirror lay drawings he had been sent by a fan. And to one side was his electric razor, still plugged in, near a vase of white flowers.

Post-it notes previously uncovered in his bedroom reflected Jacko's obsession with children. Stuck to a TV and an ornament by the bed, one read: "Children are sweet." Another said: "Children are innocent."

Near the bathroom is the guest bedroom where Jacko's personal physician Dr Conrad Murray spent up to 25 minutes trying to resuscitate him - first on the bed, then on the rug-covered wooden floor - after the star was taken ill.

The revelation of the notes follows our bombshell picture of Jacko on his deathbed at the rented mansion in North Carolwood Drive, Los Angeles.

The star was buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California, in an evening funeral for close family on September 3.

And we can reveal that his Neverland ranch is set to be be turned into a Graceland-style memorial to him - even without his body - while the rest of the 2,800 acre grounds are carved up into separate plots to build exclusive new homes.

Jacko's brother Jermaine is determined the plan should go ahead despite resistance from the rest of the family who want to ditch the place that was the scene of Jacko's child abuse cases.

Jermaine also hopes to have an eternal flame burning there - inspired by John F Kennedy's grave in Arlington Cemetery in Washington.

A source close to the Jacksons said: "Jermaine is not giving up on the Neverland idea. It will have to a lot smaller than the original idea of using the whole site for tourists.

"At the moment plans are on the table to sell off the ranch in plots, and turn them into a luxury community."

"In the past residents have sneered at a Graceland for Michael as the roads in the area are not equipped to cope with huge traffic loads.

But with this plan the roads would be built on the new amended plots, and tourists would be ferried into local towns like Los Olivios and Santa Maria."

Bitter Jermaine has been outspoken about his upset at Michael's burial in LA - not Neverland.

But he still hopes that the King of Pop could be reburied at Neverland one day.

Michael was a very normal human being. He vas intelligent, loving and he appreciate true values of humanity. The world will be better because he has so many fans. We all thank you, Michael ! ...
I think it's time to leave Michael alone. People never left him alone whilst he was alive and now they still keep picking at every little thing now that he has passed away. Michael Jackson was a pure genius who helped and cared for people, his music and dancing was outstanding and he was to me the most fantastic artist of all time. He had the gift and just wanted to live his life and make people understand that with love people could be happier in this world. He was treated terribly by the press and I think its time now to leave him alone and leave his children and his family to get on with their lives. The true fans know the truth about Michael Jackson and we loved him so much.. He was an artist who always had new ideas. Please leave him alone. I will miss him forever. If there were more kind, generous people in the world like Michael Jackson then it would be a better place.

The majority of us write reminders!!! In M notes you should look for deeper meaning that it seems....

Jermaine is right!!! Michael's wish was to be buried at Neverland if.... !!!! Jermaine knows that and I do.... my last contact with M was two days before....

So what that Michael wrote post-it notes and left them on his mirror. People all over the word do it every day. But lets not forget that if MJ does it then hes the bigest wierdo around!!??! And God help him if he mentions 'children' in a post-it, that would make him a peadophile right!!??! Its not MJ that was wierd or sick, its ignorant peoples minds! Love you and miss you MJ.xxx

By Lakesha.. Posted October 14 2009 at 6:16 PM.

Please,give me a break! He was a healthy man when he was dead.He was the victim.People around him were bad company and he couldnt get out.All they want is money while all michael want is love.
Can we stop picking on things that he did in the past?
I thought we were taught to forgive and forget?
To never mind a man's past as long as he change?

I write post-it notes too.I am mad?I am crazy?
grow up.I love children doesnt me i am a PEDOPHILE,right?I also write motivating quotes to keep me going(my exams)

for god's sake,let the man rest in peace with good name.
[and names calling are stupid and meaningless.]

By Cherie.. Posted October 8 2009 at 8:39 AM.

1.we were told that MJ was suicidal but his post-it notes show otherwise

2. We were told that he had skin cancer, low/no sperm count, no nose but his autopsy reveals otherwise

3.We were told that he is a drug addict & alcoholic but his autopsy shows no drugs nor alcohol in his blood rather a healthy normal 50 year old male with lupus and vitilago with inflammation of the lungs and slight arthritis which is normal.( His addiction was painkillers and we all know why he was on them)

4. We were told he is a PEDOPHILE but he was charged with this by people of dubious character

5. we were told that he is a homosexual but his topes reveal otherwise

6.Now that he REST'S IN PEACE will the character assassination stop?

By oluwalosola.. Posted September 25 2009 at 9:17 AM.

Strangerinmoscow, you are a gem the way you get Michael—I’m sure he’d find a wonderful friend in you! I feel so enriched by ALL of you, MJ’s fans, who are tuned in and continue to participate in talks, defending Michael, relentlessly trying to restore his honor. You have the same beauty about you the way he did, and still does. I’m amazed at all of your contributions everywhere I turn on the net and feel that Michael’s life and passing have brought out so so much good out in so many, wow! I believe he truly embodied Christ/Buddha… consciousness. There’s no way he’s RIP; he’s singing, dancing, playing, laughing with many kindred others. One day we’ll ALL get a chance to hear his new heavenly melodies and see his new dance moves. The shows he’s preparing for us in his Foreverland! So, lets do our best here the way he showed us, so that when it’s our time, we will have something of substance to share with him about our lives. Blessings to all of you gorgeous souls!

A brilliant man !A good-hearted person!And aGreatest singer! His soul immortled!!!

By Bonny.. Posted September 16 2009 at 7:52 AM.

I agree that writing notes is nothing unuaual? Why do you think Post It notes exist! I also agree it is rude to call Michael "JACkO" and this needs to end.

There is nothing sick about someone saying children are innocent! Longfellow wrote a poem titled "The childrens hour" and no one thought he was sick.

I will never believe he did anything to harm children. He was found innocent! His insurance company paid off on the first persons allegations, which is not unusual. He was kind and wealthy, so greedy people took advantage of his kindness!

Leave Michael alone, let him finally rest in peace. He wrote many beautiful songs and was a great entertainer and idealist, and NO one can take that away from him.

By Helen.. Posted September 16 2009 at 12:54 AM.

whats strange about it ?we all keep reminders in our daily life if Micheal did than its not a big deel .he had very innocent soul let him rest in peace and let remove all the painful connection from him .micheal may u have many many more peace with Gog .

By sairy.. Posted September 15 2009 at 11:01 AM.

I don't like the concept of "exclusive homes" on Neverland grounds at all. Build a children's hospital instead, and children's hospice in those lovely surroundings - things like that. I feel that homes for the rich on Neverland is violating it.

By aston.. Posted September 15 2009 at 7:11 AM.

Gee-ya think you could have a little respect? No need to call him Jacko. Call him by his proper name and stop the crap with the name calling. Really low.

Re: Notes, post-its. Lots of people with perfectly intact minds and bodies leave post-its all over the place. Especially when their life gets really busy.

Not unusual.

We are the world-he didn't do it much-so yea, I could see him needing a reminder to put in in-just one of over 100+songs. No wonder he might need a reminder.

By sjdaud.. Posted September 15 2009 at 6:05 AM.

Please let him in peace with the Lord.
he was rest with God now.
don't disturb him.
why jermaine must to do that?
the funeral is already finished ...everything is in peace do not make a complicated anymore.

By porjai.. Posted September 15 2009 at 5:01 AM.

I agree, please let's stop calling him JACKO he hated to be called that. Has anyone read that jermaine is going to try to have him buried at neverland ? Why can't they just let him REST IN PEACE? He is in a BEAUTIFUL- PLACE, just leave him alone . It's bad enough that it took 2 month's to bury the poor man. LEAVE HIM ALONE, PLEASE .

By maureen.. Posted September 15 2009 at 1:29 AM.

why do we always remember them 4 the good things when they die? Why not when they are alive

By Benson Upah.. Posted September 14 2009 at 3:29 PM.

you are all crazy - lol
really reading this has been boring , I guess made me laugh mind - let the man -sleep in peace

By Mee.. Posted September 14 2009 at 1:13 PM.

Michael made notes like everybody else... What strange whit it? I made notes almost every day. Sleep well Michael.

By agnes.. Posted September 14 2009 at 9:21 AM.

I don't see something strange in these Post-it, the majority of people does the same. Another point, you cannot say that Michael Jackson was a drug addict, for the moment the only drugs found at the autopsy were those injected by Dr. Murray.
Tom Lachem and the others : take care of what you say

By toupietara.. Posted September 14 2009 at 9:05 AM.

I don’t know of anyone who has had such a difficult life as Michael Jackson.

Why could you find no happiness without a painkiller?

The painkillers did not bring happiness, they provided relief from the pain (and I’m not talking about physical pain). Trust me, when you have deep, unbearable, unremitting pain, any break, however brief, is incredibly welcome. It is not happiness, it is non-pain. Of course there are better ways to overcome pain, but this was likely the first thing he came across that worked and he stuck with it. Of course, there was the physical side of addiction as well. He was seeking, seeking, trying to fill a void and never quite figuring out what he was after and what he was lacking. As such, he could never be happy. What he was seeking was unconditional love, because his whole life, love was only granted to him conditional upon his success - from his father, from his fans, and not least from those around him who only loved him for his money.

He reveled in feeling he was a victim. He was indeed a victim--of serious abuse--which he never recovered from. Later, he was victimized by the press and money-grubbers who took away every shred of his dignity and killed his spirit. Instead of trying to understand things from his perspective, people imposed their perspective on him and accused him of reveling in it.

His dysfunctional life was merely a symptom of deep emotional problems which he has never ironed out. All of life's dysfunctions stem from a disconnect of spirituality. We try to fill that void with worldly things like money, fame, success, drugs, but none of that brings lasting happiness. If you try to take away the material things without first filling the spiritual void, you will just end up substituting one addiction for another.

I love Michael Jackson - I only feel sad that Michael never met anyone who could help him, but then again, who could understand the depths of his pain? Ultimately, he didn’t die of drug abuse, but of a broken heart.


PS – Please quit calling Michael Jackson “JACKO” -
what a terrible insult.

By StrangerinMoscow.. Posted September 14 2009 at 3:20 AM.

What these notes tell me about Michael is that he wanted to do his very best for the concerts but must have had a tough time... feeling anxious and finding it hard to live and carry on... he had been backstabbed and betrayed by so many adults of all sorts... the only people he knew he could trust were children... I believe he put up those signs to keep on believing in the possibility of a better world. To remind himself every day that as long as there are children, who are sweet and innocent, life is still worth living and there's hope for a brighter future.

By Serenity.. Posted September 14 2009 at 3:19 AM.

What a load of --- we all use post it notes and they aren't dated so could have been sittiong around for days ,weeks or even months, mine do. Electric razor's need to be plugged in coz their recharching duh! So much crap . wHAT ABOUT THE BEATLES CATALOGUE ,HUH?

By ERIK.. Posted September 14 2009 at 3:52 AM.

I'm 56 and have post-it notes all over my house! In fact, I'm looking at 7 that are posted around my computer desk - one to remind me to do my hand exercises -- another to send out my bill payments this week--yet another note simply saying 'Be easy on yourself" etc.

I"m sure Micheal's post -it notes were of the same sort ...reminding him to call someone...maybe even phrases he wanted to work into songs!

By Marie.. Posted September 14 2009 at 3:03 AM.

MJ's not nuts, not as much just really really in denial of reality but can you blame him?

By hit123.. Posted September 14 2009 at 2:43 AM.


gosh an IQ of 130 and the relevence is what?

Only people with slightly higer than average IQ die from drugs?
He had an IQ twice that of the average MJ fan?

People with I.Q's of 130 eand up dead whilst other people feed of their dead bodies and make money?

What exactly is you point?


By john.. Posted September 14 2009 at 12:01 AM.

Michael wasnt a pedophile! and he wasnt nuts!
He was just fed a load of crap by money grabbing A***holes! I write down things all the time otherwise i forget! even a lady i work with does! she forgets to tell our boss stuff or to tell us stuff all the time! I even wrote a note weeks ago to remind my husband to keep his cupboard tidy!!
Im always forgetting stuff! and thats not because im nuts! im just busy! working looking after my 3 young kids etc! Its all rubbish!!! Just let the bloke rest in peace now!

By claudia.. Posted September 13 2009 at 11:30 PM.

do you know that michael jackson has an 130 I.Q. (intelegence qoutient)..that his words goes beyond imagination which perceived after its realization.....

By wiseena.. Posted September 13 2009 at 11:10 PM.

I have to write every thing down that I need to remember. I have them all posted in my rest room, reason being I know if I don't go to any other part of the house I will always end up in the rest room. I have notes every where not that I'm crazy or off balance, we become over loaded some times with things we need to do or things we want to remember and our memory needs a post it note boost. If I hear some quote that I want to remember I write it on a post it. That was the whole concept of a post it note so it would allow us to remember things. Why do people keep referring to "Michael" as Jacko, I cant' stand the way it sounds, it is still part of when he was being put down. Just say MJ or Michael, not Jacko... Jaimie n Texas

By Jaimie Gerardo.. Posted September 13 2009 at 11:00 PM.

I have post-it notes all over my computer at work to remind me of things. There is NOTHING bizarre about posting reminders. The wealthiest business men in the world keep planners to remind them of things they need to do throughout the day. When you are busy, you need to be reminded of things. Simple as that.

By Susie.. Posted September 13 2009 at 8:14 PM.

How silly people must be to interpratate these notes from MJ like this - always looking for traps - now I unterstand how vulnerable this was and is

By Eva.. Posted September 13 2009 at 7:57 PM.

Im stil woried about Michael Jackson s death but anyway God is the answer to all..

By Frieda.. Posted September 13 2009 at 7:40 PM.

Let's accept what all the evidence shows: Jackson was stark-raving-nuts, a 50 year old pedophile writing notes "Children are sweet." "Children are innocent". Please, don't try to justify this. If you'd written that when you were 50, left it sticking to the wall, anybody who saw it would have called police. Don't give me any "Michael was so childlike and innocent." You can't claim he was smart enough to make hundreds of millions US, to care for three children, and to never grow up.

At least we did learn he had enough beard to use an electric razor. I'd wondered.

Neverland? This is the private deal of one of the Jackson's, his way to grab a piece of one of the actions. Nothing more.

Same with the Vienna concert. First thing a concert promoter does is lock in the talent. When all the named stars are suddenly unavailable ... another scam one of the Jacksons is running.

Isn't it Joe who wants to set up a magnet for fans in Vegas? One he'll get part of?

By Hall.. Posted September 13 2009 at 7:17 PM.

he was normal he was just different i mean no one can dance like him so he did things differently who cares his life, his choises :) r,i,p luvs u mj xxxxxxxxxx

By me!!!.. Posted September 13 2009 at 7:14 PM.

There's nothing bizarre about those notes. I don't do drugs at all, but in times of stress and many responsibilities, I still have to make notes even about self-evident stuff. The line about a beautiful future could be one he wanted to include in a song - well, my interpretation is as good as yours!

I haven't heard about a picture of Michael Jackson on his deathbed before. What is that? The bed, yes and him in the ambulance, yes - but what else?

I'm still not over his death. When I read this article the 25th June seems so close in time. Rewind, please...

By aston.. Posted September 13 2009 at 6:46 PM.

Whats so bizarre about the msgs?
'grateful', 'love', 'happy', 'success',and 'innocent'
are bizarre??? Keeping a name card is bizarre?
Post a reminder note to include a certain song is bizarre?
Why? Aren't post it notes meant for reminding ourselves about stuff? Every now and then don't we remind themselves that we are running out of certain stuff such as butter, sugar, eggs, toothpaste etc? Doing such human stuff is bizarre?
Besides I am sure his name is Jackson not Jacko, perhaps you should paste a post it note to remind yourself.

By Ykay.. Posted September 13 2009 at 4:33 PM.

My ticket for his concert is on its way this week. Although i cant wait to get it, frame it and mount it on the wall, im still finding it terribly sad that ill never get to see him. Reading things like the report above just reminds me how much he was under constant scrutiny from every angle in his life. He must have felt so alone and those around him should have been there for him more than what they were. I think it will be interesting to hear the verdict of the reasons surrounding his death, but lets not pick away at what was his private life anymore, and remember him for what he was, a wonderful, incredible, loving and caring human being with a talent to not only sing and dance, but to touch peoples lives around the world in a way that no other human being ever will. As a famous musician has said, he wasnt so much a human as an energy and although his body is no longer with us, his energy will always live on - RIP Michael, i love you x

By Alice - Northants, England.. Posted September 13 2009 at 4:29 PM.

I cannot believe people are still making negative comments about Michael. Most of these people are the ones with sadness and issues in their lives which spur them on to make fun of others in order to make themselves feel better. You look at what they have done in life and you will be shocked. If Michael used to fall out of night clubs and had a different woman on his arm he would be great in some people's eyes.[that's today's normality].if you take the time to read about this person from beginning to end you would see the man behind it. He was introduced to the wrong prescription drugs and was given the wrong treatment following an accident. anyone who knows about nursing will know that was wrong as they can be addictive with side effects. In the end your system gets used to it and do not work anymore. he is the victim here. His suffering was avoidable. Please show common sense or shut up you look stupid. R.I.P Michael.

By ste53.. Posted September 13 2009 at 2:37 PM.

l do agree with jammine's idea of turning neverland into graceland it will generate a lot money even to cover all michael's debts,fight it on jammine u will get there

By skays.. Posted September 13 2009 at 2:57 PM.

I'm so sick of all the comments about MJ being a "drugaddict", as if he was a criminal. Everybody just keeps quoting the tabloids and assuming all kind of B.S. Why not wait for the results of the investigation. And one more thing: We here in Europe just wish this "beautiful soul" was European. We would have cherished him, being he was black, white, straight or gay or bisexual. No disrespect but:americans, black and white alike have treated him like dirt. He should have stayed away from America. Europeans are more lenient and broadminded and not so judgemental. Where Americans even refused to give him the benefit of the doubt after he was acquitted of All charges.
And you call yourselves Godfearing Christians!!!

By kathy, Holland.. Posted September 13 2009 at 1:56 PM.

My brother is a musician and constantly writes notes with lyric lines that he intends to use at a later date - often with what could be considered to be 'insane' ramblings scribbled underneath to remind him of the 'general mood' of the track he's planning....

Just for everyone's info, he has never touched drugs, tobacco or alcohol - just to pre-empt the 'all musos are druggies theories' :)

Yes Michael was overusing painkillers...and yes, he resorted to the dangerous (in anyone's eyes) practice of being 'knocked out' so that he could switch his brain off (from all the creative details and from the pain) for a while...but insane ? I don't think so...

I think he had so many new bits and pieces of songs,videos, the new show in his head that he found it very difficult to switch off - plus I think that he really did worry about what people (the world) thought of him and he never got over the fact that a large number of people thought he was guilty.

The way he was treated at some stages in his life would be enough to send a lesser man over the edge.

He loved his family, he loved his children and the world should have loved him back.

By MJFan.. Posted September 13 2009 at 1:27 PM.

Say What?

When I meet Michael Jackson, my experience of MJ was meekness, tenderness and love.

What would the World be like if we didn’t have people like Michael Jackson to perform for us? Yet, so many of you have become fastidious with the very one’s that were sent here to entertain us. Can you see your souls, then how can you see MJ’s Soul? Also, Michael Jackson was the Alpha and the Omega, King of Pop, and there will never be another like MJ.

When MJ was alive, he was so, motherly, yet he was famous, he was so tender, and so loving, yet he was so meek. So, please stop intellectualizing Michael Jackson because it is absolutely wrong and unfair.

Also, the Next Time you feel like you want to ponder something about MJ’s Life, that you cannot see, please, do it with love. Thank you.

One of the notes said "Remember a beautiful future promise of tomorrow." Well all I can say about that is there isn't one this side of life for Michael but there is one in heaven with the Angels.RIP Michael.

Come on people for goodness sake now give up the Micheal Jackson stories. The blokes dead and buried (finally) what he did in or didn't do in his final hours is totally irrevelant.
He was a gifted musician end of.
Thriller will forever be his best album.

Michael was a very normal human being. He vas intelligent, loving and he appreciate true values of humanity. The world will be better because he has so many fans. We all thank you, Michael !

Omg so everyone who uses post it notes is mad lmfao, i write notes to remind myself of things and Just because i have someone's number on my mobile doesn't mean i can't write it elsewhere incase i lose my mobile!
The Illuminati gets the blame for most celebrities death includung princess diana, so whats all that about. Leave MJ alone to rest peacefully .

Has anybody thought to themselves that these post it notes sound like a script that he's trying to remember - maybe inbetween songs on his tour. I think there are some weird goings on in the world of Jacko but I don't think this is one of them. Sounds to me like he was just piecing together what he was gonig to say in his shows.

The world's most famous man dies a lonely, near bankrupt drug addict.

Addiction is the disease of our times. Consumerism, alcohol, drugs, sex, codependency

All of this is displayed in the tortured life of Michael Jackson - a story of our times. But will any of us learn?

By chris smith.. Posted September 13 2009 at 11:39 AM.

I think it's time to leave Michael alone. People never left him alone whilst he was alive and now they still keep picking at every little thing now that he has passed away. People are so cruel and thoughtless, it really is about time that people gave a little thought to other people and stopped being so cruel and judgemental about things they know nothing about. Michael Jackson was a pure genius who helped and cared for people, his music and dancing was outstanding and he was to me the most fantastic artist of all time. He had the gift and just wanted to live his life and make people understand that with love people could be happier in this world. He was treated terribly by the press and I think its time now to leave him alone and leave his children and his family to get on with their lives. The true fans know the truth about Michael Jackson and we loved him so much. People can waste their time writing all the rubbish, if they are sad enough to write this garbage then they are just very sad individuals who just need to focus on getting a life. Post it notes, big deal, these were written by him in the privacy of his own home, whats the problem?? He was an artist who always had new ideas. Please leave him alone.
I will miss him forever. If there were more kind, generous people in the world like Michael Jackson then it would be a better place.

By Kate.. Posted September 13 2009 at 11:27 AM.

I think Michael was quite normal but extremely talented in so many ways ... it was how the media portrayed him and still portrays him. Just look at the use of words by the media; "bizarre", "strange". Nothing strange...we all make post it notes that mean something to us and not necessarily to other people. For God's sake leave this man alone.

In relation to those child molesting charges go read Aphrodite Jones' book called Michael Jackson Conspiracy...she found out the truth ... his name needs to be vindicated.

IF ANYONE WHO HAS A FAMILY MEMBER WHO THEY THINK IS ON DRUGS YOU MUST TAKE ACTION AND NOT LEAVE IT TO LATE, STAND IN AND TAKE CONTROL. IF IT CAN HAPPEN TO THE BIGGEST STAR IN THE WORLD IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
DRUGS RUIN LIVES FROM EVERY BACKGROUND IT IS SICKENING, I AM JUST GLAD I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE LIVED THROUGH TH E GENERATION THAT THE MOST AMAZING TALENT TO HAVE EVER WALKED THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
R.I.P. MICHAEL

By carl wileman.. Posted September 13 2009 at 10:53 AM.

When are you going to see that a story like this is more about you than it is about him? It's about your need to keep putting him back in the box you tried to force him to stay in, so you could keep making money by laughing at him. Post-it notes? The man was putting together the biggest show ever produced, and you expect him to keep it all in his head? So what if he was writing inspirational reminders to himself, trying to keep his spirits up? If people saw the fortunes from chinese cookies I have taped all over my desk, they'd think I was some superstitious illiterate instead of an educator with several degrees. We all do the best we can. And even YOU should be able to see that his best was better than most. Get real. And stop calling him Jacko. I don't have to tell you why.

I'm writing my shopping list - am I mad???

By GMcF.. Posted September 13 2009 at 9:18 AM.

Millions have a pad next to their beds to jot ideas down when they are in bed. It helps people dump stuff out of their brain to aid sleeping. Perfectly normal practice imo.

By Ian.. Posted September 13 2009 at 8:49 AM.

i was a victim of beleiving the media regarding the child allegations, and didnt figure it out until after his death that it was all lies. The man was not mad because of post its, he was traumatised though, not so much by media, but by the illuminati. Research the illuminati, mjs lyrics, especialy "they dont care about us", mj was killed, he didnt kill himself.
He was killed by the same group that spawned hitler, killed jfk, tupac, big and imprisoned prodigy (no not the british dance act, a us rapper) because of anti illuminati messages, because of being openly anti NWO.
Go and watch interviews with mj, tupac, big and prodigy regarding these things and it will make sense to you all.
Mj was gonna make a statement in london about all this or so it seemed and they had to make his doc kill him and make it look like suicide, because people listened to mj.
And nobody makes jay-zed look bad when the evil cult hes involved with gets his brainwashed fans to symbolise the all seing eye in their thousands in his concerts.
If only 1 person reads this and researches, i have made a difference, look out 4 what the future holds people.

By rich.. Posted September 13 2009 at 8:13 AM.

i just wish micheal was left alone 2 rest in peace now he wasnt left alone in life so people shpuld respect his family's wishes & 2 leave him alone now miss him sooooooo much so what if he wrote post it notes it doesnt make him mad i write reminders 2 myself sometimes does it make me mad then just leave him alone now R.I.P our lovely micheal xxxxxxx

By anna.. Posted September 13 2009 at 8:10 AM.

Micheal Jackson touched the world -his songs were were a reflection of him -he wanted a better world, a world with love and no suffering. An idealistic world with people who had the innocence and naivity of children so there would be laughter and happiness and no shootings, bombings, racism, no drugs, no rape, no bad things happening in the world. That is why he turned to drugs I believe as he could not deal with what a cruel world this was. He would trust in someone and open his heart and they would make allegations about him. Anyway Micheal you are up there with god, please do one thing try to make this a better a world . Amen x

By sharan.. Posted September 13 2009 at 8:03 AM.

I don' think it proves he was positive to the end, I think it proves he was out of his mind on drugs. As for Jermaine wanting to rebury Michael at Neverland, WTF?? It took them more than ten weeks to bury the poor tormented soul in the first place and now he wants to dig him up again?? Dear God, let the poor tormented soul rest in peace, its the least you can do for him now.

By Jay.. Posted September 13 2009 at 8:02 AM.

The guy needed sectioning, Seriously! If they had of sectioned him he would still be alive and no longer addicted to drugs.

By Nuts.. Posted September 13 2009 at 6:23 AM.

I am a stay at home mom and also work from home - you should see my desk it is full of notes and post it and I dont find anything wrong about it, is it. Why would it be weird and strange , it seems anything Michael does and touches are immediately labeled strange. Gosh, if I am as talented as Jackson and I'm doing a 50 dates comeback tour, oh boy my house will be full of posts it! I wonder why the media always takes the negative spin when it comes to Michael Jackson??? Well, I quess even in death he still sells newspapers and if you want people to read your articles just write about Mr. Jackson the badder the better it worked before .

I often wonder if Jermain's motivation regarding MJ's Neverland is base on love for Michael but rather to make sure his (Jermain) interest is covered, after all he has a small interest in Neverland(as reported) with Neverland ala Graceland what it will do is ensure no more poor times for Jermaine, after all he needs to pay off all those judgements and child custodies....what a mess. Why doesn't he write and record a song professing his undying love to his dead brother and if he still have his mojo left maybe he can make an honest pile of money from his own sweat - afterall he is a Jackson and he is talented, sometimes you will never know when inspiration hits you.

By mary .. Posted September 13 2009 at 5:27 AM.

he seemed normal 2 me...sure miss him performing! god...i miss him period. the other jacksons....wacko is the word! hate to say this Michael...but God didn't ask me when he took you home...but if he did...i would say...no God, please do not take him home...it is not his time. God speed my brother! i will miss you for a VERY, VERY, VERY long time!

By Joliw.. Posted September 13 2009 at 5:10 AM.

That must make half the world crazy then. The majority of people write themselves reminders for various things - let this man and his family be in peace.

By Libby.. Posted September 13 2009 at 2:49 AM.

Leave this wonderful soul alone. You made fun of him enough while he was alive. The sad part about it is the people making fun of him are messed up themselves!

By ROCHELLE2009.. Posted September 13 2009 at 3:30 AM.

I agree, leave michael alone ! it took 2months to bury the man & now there is talk that jermaine want's to bury him at neverland . The jackson family is [ CRAZY ] with the exception of REBBIE & JANET.I believe his fan's would of done a better job handleing his service's. I can tell you this, we wouldn't have dragged his [ ROTTING BODY ] around for 2 FN month's . And their afraid 1 of us[ fan's] is going to steal his body , WHAT AN INSULT TO HIS FAN,S!

By maureen.. Posted September 13 2009 at 1:53 AM.

Please stop calling him 'Jacko' , he hated it, and lots of us hate it.
And when is the media going to admit that they contributed to his death by constantly ridiculing him and not reporting the truth from 2005 trial? They were totally false charges and proved false in court - but the truth was never published, only twisted one sided snippets made to sound as if he was guilty. The transcripts prove it, the footage of Arvizo being 'interviewed' or LED by police proves it - he is SO obviously lying and play acting, the illogical timeline and ludicrous allegations of being held hostage but returning 3 times! (and going to the beauty salon +++ while a hostage!)and the inconsistencies prove it and the fact they had tried similar things on others before, and proved to have previously lied in court. DA witchunt and Media just wanted him to be found guilty so they would make money from it. Read the transcripts, Listen to Tom Mesereau, see Larry Nimmer's DVD, read Aphrodite Jones' book 'Michael Jackson Conspiracy'. media has to be more responsible and truthful, too many innocent people are affected - what about the young athlete recently? 18 year old girl who's deserved joy and glory was stolen by irresponsible media reporting she MAY not be a girl! all over the world. Poor girl! so unfair. would you like this for your daughters?

By Alison.. Posted September 13 2009 at 1:43 AM.

Totally agree! Writing little notes helps one to focus and sort out thoughts and ideas. Michael was a perfectionist in everything he did. He had to sort out his ideas and thoughts in order to progress. I have felt at times that my brain has boiled over on stressfull days, small notes have prevented me from forgetting and being out of focus... normal behaviour in other words.

Many times I have gotten me a good laugh when I see what I have written .... it is like a small book of memories from those days that have passed. They help you remember

By Monica.. Posted September 13 2009 at 1:07 AM.

Give us a break! He was 50 yrs old -- a middle-aged man that wore reading glasses. As we age, our memories are not what they used to be and many of us use post-its to make notes. As for the 'we are the world" -- it wasn't a hit that pops to my mind when I think of Michael Jackson. This is much ado about nothing! If any of us were to have someone walk into our home at this very moment and then write an article, I'm sure they would find notes, clothing scattered and bathroom clutter. He sounds "normal" in that respect.

By Guest.. Posted September 13 2009 at 12:46 AM.

huh that must make me mad too.

leave him alone stop reading into things that arent there, hasnt idol gossip already played a big part in this. for god sake let this lovily man rest in peace something he could not do in life.

By helen.. Posted September 13 2009 at 12:38 AM.

Why do post-it notes show a man is mad? Millions write them everyday around the world! Including many journalists I'm sure!
