Childhood of Michael Jackson. Humiliation and first glory
The boy, later recognized as the King of Pop, was born in the town of Gary, Indiana. The boy's parents, Joseph Jackson and Katherine Vinta, married in November 1949. They were brought together by a love of music: the future father of the family was a bluesman, played the guitar, and his mother, half Indian, half mulatto, a native of the rural outback, was obsessed with country music. 
19-year-old Katherine quickly realized that family life was by no means as rosy as in her fantasies. Joseph proved himself to be a real person, turning out to be an unsociable and even cruel person.
When Michael was born in 1958, there were already seven children in the Jackson family. Joseph's strict disciplinarian approach to raising children was harsh: he humiliated his children both morally and physically. The singer's brother Marlon said that his father dissolved his hands for the slightest offense. In an effort to accustom children to order, at night he put on a terrible mask, sneaked up under the windows of the nursery and roared in different ways (later Michael admitted that he was constantly tormented by nightmares as a child). The mother, on the other hand, forced her sons to study the Bible and took them to meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Only in 1993, Michael Jackson told Oprah Winfrey in the studio that in those years he constantly cried and felt lonely, he was literally sick of communicating with his father.
In 1964, the brothers formed The Jacksons. The original line-up consisted of the elders Tito, Jeremy and Jackie, while Michael and Marlon were backup musicians, playing tambourine and congo. Later, Michael took the place of the backing vocalist, and also accompanied each performance with dancing. The strict father watched the band's rehearsals with a belt in his hands and used leather weapons if he didn't like something.
In 1966, it was decided to rename the group to "Jackson 5" ("Jackson's Five"), and Michael became the lead singer. Young musicians won the city talent contest with the song "I Got You (I Feel Good)", after which they went on tour in the Midwest, which lasted until 1968. Michael and his brothers performed in strip clubs for "blacks", warming up the audience before the start of the show.
In 1970, the Jackson Brothers went national with their first singles to the top of the US Billboard chart. Even then, Michael riveted the attention of the public with eccentric dances, which he copied from Jackie Wilson and James Brown.

Michael Jackson's personal life
Michael Jackson has been married twice. The first wife of the musician was the daughter of the King of Rock and Roll - Elvis Presley. Jackson first met Lisa Marie Presley in 1975 at an MGM Grand Hotel event in Las Vegas, but at that time she was only 8 years old. 
The next meeting took place in 1993. After that, they began to communicate and quickly became best friends; Lisa supported him during a period when it seemed that everyone turned their backs on Jackson. One day he asked a girl on the phone: "If I asked you to marry me, would you do it?" Six months later, they secretly got married in the Dominican Republic. In 1996, their marriage broke up, but former spouses remained friends.
Michael was going through a divorce very hard, which made his disease [vitiligo] worse. During a visit to personal dermatologist Arnold Klein, he met his assistant, Debbie Rowe. They started talking, and Debbie asked Michael what made him sad the most about the situation. The musician replied that he deeply regretted that he had not acquired common children with Lisa. Then the woman invited Jackson to bear his child so that he could experience the happiness of fatherhood.
Michael happily agreed. The woman gave birth to two children - the son of Prince Michael Joseph Jackson and the daughter of Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson. In 1999, Debbie considered mission accomplished and filed for divorce, relinquishing all parental rights.
In 2002, Michael Jackson had a second son, Prince Michael Joseph Jackson II. The musician kept the name of the surrogate mother who carried the child a secret.
Michael Jackson with his son on the balcony of a hotel in Berlin
During the artist's tour in Berlin, one journalist managed to shoot a video of Michael Jackson standing on the hotel balcony and holding younger son. The press made a real scandal out of the video, accusing the singer of careless handling of the child. After this incident, the artist began to be wary of the press and hide all the details from his personal life, and if the Jacksons appeared in public together, the faces of the children were hidden by masks.
Michael Jackson and allegations of pedophilia
In 1988, Michael purchased 112 hectares of land in California, near the town of Santa Barbara. In this place, the musician who retired from general attention could finally be himself. He rebuilt the ranch, turning it into the dream of every child: a mansion reminiscent of a fairytale palace, a miniature Railway, carousels, a zoo, a huge variety of colorful sculptures ... He named the amusement park he created "Neverland", in honor of the book about Peter Pan, a boy who will never become an adult. 
In 1993, the singer was accused of molesting thirteen-year-old Jordan Chandler, who was a fan of the artist and a frequent visitor to Neverland Ranch. The son admitted to his father, Evan Chandler, that during the visits, Jackson forced the boy to touch his genitals. During the investigation, Michael even had to demonstrate his "dignity" so that the jury could compare the boy's descriptions with reality.
As a result, a settlement was concluded: the Chandlers withdrew the lawsuit, and Michael paid the family $ 22 million in compensation. In 2003, Michael Jackson was again brought to trial on charges of a similar crime. The new "victim" was thirteen-year-old Gavin Arvizo, who told the press that Michael got him drunk and masturbated with him together.
Authorities raided the Jackson estate and arrested the singer, but released him on bail a day later. During the investigation, the artist claimed that the Arvizo family decided to repeat the example of the Chandlers and was engaged in heinous extortion. Litigation lasted two years, in the end Michael Jackson was fully acquitted. Unfortunately, the very fact of being accused of pedophilia had a very negative impact on the reputation and career of the singer.
In 2005, Michael Jackson left Neverland Ranch for good, moving to a mansion in Holmby Hills.
After the singer's death in 2009, Jordan Chandler admitted that all the words about molestation were lies from beginning to end, and said that his father forced him to tell the truth. In November of that year, the elder Chandler shot himself.
Plastic surgery and Michael Jackson's illness
In 1987, after the release of the video for the title track of the album "Bad", fans noticed changes in the face of the idol, and with each subsequent performance, the singer became even paler and thinner. 
The media paid too much attention to the artist's haggard appearance: journalists built the most unexpected hypotheses why Michael Jackson whitened his skin and changed the contours of his face, going as far as accusing him of dysmorphophobia - hatred of his own body.
In the early 90s, Michael put an end to gossip by admitting that in 1986 he was diagnosed with two rare diseases - vitiligo and lupus. And if vitiligo affected only the pigmentation of the skin, covered with light spots due to the disease (hence the deathly white complexion of Michael - this is a thick layer of cosmetics that hid the difference between healthy and affected skin), then lupus, a dangerous autoimmune disease that damages the connective tissue. tissue, led to the failure of the cheekbones and a general deformity of the face. In addition, powerful drugs prescribed to Michael by a doctor during a relapse of lupus led to the musician's addiction to painkillers.
As for the number of Michael Jackson's plastic surgeries, experts who closely followed the gradual transformation of the artist concluded that there were multiple surgical interventions. According to them, he operated on his nose several times, changed the shape of his lips, reshaped his cheeks and eyelids, and also made a dimple in his chin. Michael's mom confirmed that her son, in her opinion, was addicted to plastic surgery. The artist himself stated that he had only done rhinoplasty twice. Doctors failed to resuscitate Michael Jackson
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the way to the medical center of the University of California and in the center itself did not help - Michael Jackson's death was ascertained at 14:26. The news of Michael Jackson's death spread around the world within minutes.
The police immediately launched an investigation into the incident. The first to be interviewed was the singer's personal doctor, Conrad Murray. He said that he found the lifeless Jackson in bed, but managed to distinguish the pulse and tried to give him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and when he realized that all attempts to resurrect the singer were unsuccessful, he called an ambulance. Here important role played the following fact - Michael rented a mansion, so Conrad did not know the exact address. While he was figuring out the coordinates, a whole half hour passed, which turned out to be fatal for Jackson.
This was the version of Conrad Murray, but the coroners continued the investigation. It turned out that one of the producers of the Emmy Award, Ken Erlich, saw the singer the day before his death - and he seemed to him very energetic and provocative.
An autopsy showed that the singer was in the extreme stage of exhaustion - with an increase of 178 centimeters, his weight was only 51 kilograms. Not a single hint of food was found in the stomach, but a decent amount of painkillers was found. On August 24, the forensic medical examination established true reason Michael's death - an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, administered intravenously. Michael Jackson's death certificate lists the cause as "murder".
In November 2011, Murray was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 4 years in prison.

In December 2010, the world heard the first posthumous album of Michael Jackson. The record, called "Michael", consisted of 10 tracks, recorded with the participation of Lenny Kravitz, 50 Cent and Tarill Jackson. The release of the album divided the singer's fans into two camps: some believed that publishing songs deliberately hidden by the author "on the table" was blasphemy, which had strictly commercial purpose. Others, on the contrary, were glad that even after his death, the idol continues to delight fans with new creations. Numerous celebrities, including Michael's brother Randy Jackson, referred to the album as "raw" and "unfinished".
Michael Jackson is a legendary performer who has remained at the top for decades musical Olympus, was born on August 29, 1958 in the small town of Gary (Indiana, USA).
Childhood
Parents future star also devoted their whole lives to music, but did not achieve such recognition as their son. However, Michael's father, a black blues performer, was popular among local residents. But his mother, in whose veins Indian blood flowed, preferred country style. And she not only sang beautifully, but also danced well.
In childhood
Young Katherine fell in love with Joseph Jackson without looking back and married him at a very young age - she was barely 19 years old. But the popular bluesman at home turned out to be completely different from what she used to see him on stage. In addition, he was a fierce opponent of abortion, so Katherine was almost always pregnant.
Michael was born the eighth in a row. By this time, the rigid “education system” in the Jackson family had already clearly manifested itself, where Joseph was an indisputable authority and could single-handedly execute and pardon. Often, physical punishments were also used, but more often the father publicly humiliated the children morally, believing that in this way tempers their spirit.
Unable to resist the barbaric educational methods of her husband, who often entertained himself by frightening children at night, Catherine found an outlet in the church. She began regularly attending meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses and forced the children to study the Bible as well, according to their traditions.
When Michael was six, Joseph had the good idea to create musical ensemble from their own children. Moreover, most of them had pronounced artistic abilities and played the piano with pleasure. musical instruments of which there were several in the house.
But now the game is over, and the tough drill has begun. Waving a belt, the father forced them to rehearse to the point of complete exhaustion. At first, only the elders were unlucky. But a couple of years later, Michael and his brother Marlon were also included in the main team, which was now called the Jaksons 5.
His duties were dancing, backing vocals and playing the tambourine. And since 1966, Michael has been the soloist in the group.
Carier start
The pop star considers the beginning of her career to be the first tour that their family ensemble went on after winning the regional competition talents. About two years have passed on the road, and for Michael it was an excellent school of survival and work on stages of various levels.
Participation in a concert tour brought them some fame, but the money received for it was not enough for such a crowd, and even more so for their father. Then the boys adapted to earn extra money in strip clubs as an opening act. Their task was to provoke and turn on the audience before the start of the main show, and the boys did a great job with it.
Already in 1970, the Jackson group was known to everyone in the Southwest in the United States, and some of their songs began to sound in prestigious charts. By this time, Michael was very interested in dancing and came up with the very style that millions of his fans around the world later began to copy.
In the meantime, he remained an eccentric talented black boy, completely different from those who were already on the stage.
Solo career
The brothers were lucky - they managed to conclude a contract with one of the leading American recording studios. But the unbearable nature of the father and his greed cost them their careers. Already in 1973 broke out loud scandal, which resulted in a break in the relationship of the Jackson team with the producers.
Not hurt, but rather benefited from this conflict, only 14-year-old Michael. Realizing that the boy has all the makings of a star and his own style of performance, the owners of the Motown studio signed an individual contract with him and released as many as four solo albums by the young singer in a few years.
In 1978, already being famous performer, 20-year-old Michael first appears on the screens. The young artist got the role of the Scarecrow, which he performed with endless charm. While working, he met music producer Quincy Jones, who offered him cooperation and patronage.
In this creative tandem, Jackson's fifth solo album with strange name"Off the Wall". The title track from it and three more compositions, with the recording of which young Jackson was helped by Paul McCartney, broke into the top positions of music billboards and brought the singer resounding success. The album has sold 20 million copies.
Music king
Everyone knew Jackson in the early 80s. His songs were heard in every home, and the release of the new album was eagerly awaited by millions of fans. And in 1984 he pleased the audience with the presentation of his new creation, for which he wrote several songs on his own.
The circulation of this album with the intriguing title "Thriller" around the world exceeded 100 million and became one of the best-selling in the history of pop music.
For the first time in US history, a black singer not only stayed on the top lines of the charts for several years and got on national television, but was also received by the President himself in the White House. And in the video for this super-successful album, Jackson for the first time walked his famous "Moonwalk", from which the whole world is still a fan.
In 1984, having made millions from his songs, Jackson became a co-owner of recording studio, with which it works, and even later - buys out a controlling share package. This led to a serious spat with Paul McCartney, who was actively involved in the promotion of the singer and also counted on high profits.
Since 1985, the singer has been involved in charity work. His first serious act good will was 61 million dollars, which he earned on the composition "We are the World", recorded in a duet with friend Lionel Richie, and sent to help African poor children. In the future, the singer regularly listed large sums to help black children.
In 1987, Jackson released his seventh album and went on a world tour. Countless crowds of fans gathered at each concert. It would seem that there is nowhere, but the popularity of the musician still continued to grow.
And in 1993 he first appeared in Russia, where he gave solo concert in Luzhniki. Second and last time Jackson visited Moscow in 1996, where then-mayor Luzhkov attended a concert at the Dynamo Stadium and met the singer personally.
Until the early 2000s, the singer remained the recognized king of pop music. Until a scandal erupted over him. The singer was accused of child molestation. Although subsequently no evidence of this could be found, this affected the artist's career quite badly.
He was just preparing to release a song dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrin, in the recording of which other world stars were supposed to participate, but they refused to cooperate with him.
In 2008, a year before his death, the singer released his tenth anniversary album "King of Pop". And the one that he planned to present to the public in 2009 did not reach the viewer. On June 25, 2009, due to an overdose of drugs, the talented singer passed away prematurely.
He was buried on 09/03/2009 in the suburbs of Los Angeles, at the famous Forest Lawn Cemetery, where fans now constantly come to honor the memory of their favorite singer.
Personal life
Jackson was married twice. His first wife was a daughter famous musician Elvis Presley Lisa Marie. He met her for the first time in 1975, when he was 17, and little Lisa was only 8. But in 1993 they took place new meeting in London, during which they somehow immediately became close.
With Lisa Marie Presley
Less than a year later, the couple got married in a small church in the Dominican Republic. Moreover, Jackson made an offer to his beloved by phone. But they both found themselves quickly disillusioned with the marriage. Due to Michael's frequent travels, Lisa hardly saw him.
He was a real star, and she wanted peace and a cozy home. They divorced two years later, maintaining lifelong friendships.
With Debbie Rowe
The second wife of the king of pop was an ordinary nurse, whom he met at the reception of his own dentist. Jackson was depressed at the time, and she asked what was the matter. He admitted that he was disappointed by the divorce and most of all by the fact that a child had not been born in marriage. Then Debbie Rowe offered to become a surrogate mother of his children.
Since at that time the procedure of surrogate motherhood was not yet legalized, Jackson married her, and his first child was born in a legal marriage and two years later, a daughter. Soon, Jackson divorced Rowe, and she, observing the terms of the contract, renounced maternal rights. Jackson's third child was officially born to an unnamed surrogate mother.
Illness and operations
By the end of his life, the black singer became literally unrecognizable. At first, everything was attributed to unsuccessful plastic surgeries, which the artist was fond of, trying to make his appearance even more spectacular. But the problem turned out to be much more serious - he suffered from two serious diseases at once - vitiligo and lupus.
Vitiligo disease manifests itself as a lack of pigmentation in some areas of the body. When it progresses, and anything can affect this, from overwork and stress to drugs, the whole body is gradually covered with white spots. Over time, Jackson was forced to apply several layers of makeup to his face so that his color was uniform.
Lupus destroys not only the skin, but also internal organs, including connective tissues. This caused dramatic changes in the artist's facial features. His cheekbones sunk, lines became angular, the whole image - thin and haggard.

The real idol for many fans of pop music was Michael Jackson. The cause of the death of the artist became the subject of a lively discussion in the media. The official version is overgrown with rumors and speculation. The circumstances under which the beloved singer died, where he was buried and what will he left, will be discussed in this article.
the day before
Before sudden death was in high spirits Michael Jackson. The cause of death for people who knew him closely seems obvious. The singer spent a lot of energy preparing for the next tour. The proposed concerts in London were supposed to mark the return of the artist to big stage. He had not performed for a long time, was in poor physical shape, but intended to successfully overcome all obstacles. He had the strength to rehearse with a dance group for several hours a day. Literally a day before his death, the singer looked fresh and cheerful. He amazed those around him with his efficiency.
Ken Erlich (one of the producers of "Emmy") claims that before his death he experienced his better days Michael Jackson. The cause of the singer's death puzzles him, because the artist felt great, talked a lot and joked. However, the very next day he was gone. Specialists, even after the second autopsy, could not determine the diagnosis. What was it? The result of numerous plastic surgeries? A sluggish but deadly disease? Consequence of severe overwork? An overdose of potent drugs? Jackson has never been afraid to experiment with his health. This carelessness played a cruel joke on him.
Death
Michael Jackson, whose albums sold in millions of copies, did not die immediately. First, the singer fainted on the set in Los Angeles. Then the fainting recurred. This time the artist was in the house that he was filming in the west of Los Angeles in Holmby Hills. Jackson's personal physician, Conrad Murray, told police that he found his patient in bed with a weak pulse on the femoral artery. He was between life and death. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation failed. It took half an hour to find the guard, so that he heeded the requests of the frightened Aesculapius and called emergency services from his phone. For some reason, Murray did not want to use his personal cell phone. Thus, only at 12:21 a call was made to number 911. Information about the tragedy came from an unknown man.
Three minutes later, doctors discovered the lifeless body of the artist. Attempts to bring him back to life continued for another hour. They were unsuccessful. Michael Jackson died at 2:26 p.m. at the University of California Medical Center. Date of death - June 25, 2009. The legend of world show business, the king of popular music, a wonderful singer, a unique dancer, an unsurpassed showman, died without having made the last tour in his life.
Expert opinion
Michael Jackson was physically exhausted. The cause of death could be the most unexpected. On examination, he was found to have many scars, including from an operation to stop skin cancer. In addition, they found several broken ribs and bruises, traces of heart injections. The singer had only pills in his stomach. With a fairly high growth (178 cm), his weight was only 51 kilograms. It is strange that this man even found the strength to sing and dance.
Experts immediately had several assumptions. They cited physical exhaustion, overuse of painkillers, the effects of plastic surgery. The examination of the body was continued by the coroners. They found no signs of violence, but they did not reveal the cause of death either. Michael Jackson's doctor disappeared, and he certainly could tell a lot about the state of his ward before the tragedy. Toxicology tests took about six weeks. However, the experts did not come to a consensus. Three main versions have been put forward.
Version number 1: potent means
Michael Jackson, a biography whose personal life was constantly covered in the press, took shocking doses of painkillers. He was not used to drugs. A person who sought to change himself beyond recognition drowned out the pain by all possible means. With age, the artist developed problems with the spine, and he became addicted to drugs. Lawyer for the Jackson family, Brian Oxman, argues that there can be no other causes of death for the actor. He bitterly states that the people surrounding the singer did not interfere with his destructive addiction. Did Michael Jackson use drugs? Experts say no. However, his system was overloaded with potent substances, which eventually caused his heart to stop.
Version number 2: destructive plastic
Michael Jackson, whose albums broke all records of popularity, more than once went under the knife in order to improve his own appearance. From some sources it is known that during the next rhinoplasty, the artist became infected with one of the varieties of staphylococcus aureus. After that, the virus began to gradually destroy his body. In addition, the artist's repeatedly deformed nose became much less functional - the nasal passages narrowed, which caused oxygen deficiency. This could lead to chronic hypoxia, which is able to provoke cardiac arrest. Doctors have come up with a special term for this phenomenon - apnea. Death comes in a dream when a person does not control breathing. By themselves, plastic surgery is not dangerous, but their consequences can greatly undermine the health of the patient. Surgical intervention under anesthesia, taking drugs during the rehabilitation period bring negative results. Michael Jackson suffered because of his fearlessness - he believed that he could change himself beyond recognition without any consequences for health and well-being.
Version number 3: inflated expectations
Michael Jackson, last years whose lives were not easy, took on very serious obligations. For example, he was supposed to perform on a huge stage in London in July 2009. The artist experienced monstrous overload and colossal pressure. The impossible was expected from him - a complete recovery without interruption from exhausting rehearsals. In preparation for the anniversary celebration, the singer worked almost without rest. The insane work schedule killed him.
Version number 4: beautiful care
In fact, the whole world was waiting for a miracle. It was expected that a weak and sick person would suddenly perk up, make a frantic leap forward and give the audience another incredible show - with trapeze flights, moonwalk and crazy energy. At first it was stated that the artist would give 10 concerts, then 50 at all, but it is clear that he would not have survived even one. But how grandiose would be the death of an artist on stage in front of an audience of millions! Before performing at the London arena, the singer did not live only 18 days. The tour was called "farewell" long before the start. Michael Jackson was clearly dying. Among his diseases were called emphysema, gastric bleeding, vitiligo, skin cancer ... The death of an extravagant artist could be a continuation of a grandiose life-long show. This would be the King's farewell to the spectator in love with him. It's a pity that it didn't happen.
Funeral
The world broke up with the legendary singer on July 7, 2009. The public farewell took place at the Staples Center stadium. 17,500 tickets were raffled off online. The excitement was such that the price of them reached $ 10,000. Thousands of fans gathered to honor the memory of the remarkable artist, as well as the most famous people of our time - actors, singers, showmen. The event was more like another show with world celebrities than a funeral ceremony. The singer's sister, Janet, tried to bring a note of sincerity into the pathos atmosphere. She spoke about how terrible the loss of her brother was for her. The surprise for the public was that Michael Jackson's daughter, Perris, took the stage. An eleven-year-old girl told the audience that she misses her father very much. The body of the world celebrity was buried in a bronze coffin with gold plating. It rests in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Will
The posthumous desire of the artist was unequivocal. Back in 2002, he made a will in which he indicated that he was dividing his fortune between his mother, three children (including Michael Jackson's daughter) and charitable structures. Father - Joseph Jackson - is not mentioned in the will. The singer's assets at the time of his death amounted to 1 billion 360 million dollars. The most valuable investment is a share in music catalog, estimated at $331 million. It contains compositions of the best artists of the 20th century. In addition, Jackson took care of the future of his children. He secretly recorded two hundred songs and transferred ownership of them to a special fund. Lenders can't get to him. And the artist has done a lot of debts. According to the most conservative estimates, their amount reaches 331 million dollars.
It is difficult to overestimate the legacy that Michael Jackson left behind. The date of the death of the world legend will forever remain in the memory of fans.
SHARES
The whole world mourned the death of Michael Jackson. Many did not believe in this death, suspected that Michael Jackson is not dead, A someone else died instead.
The Order of the Illuminati is involved in this worldwide deception.
Next will be presented an interview from a person who knows the whole truth about the "death" of Michael Joseph Jackson. This person is an insider. secret society. In means mass media(Media) this group is commonly referred to as the "Order of the Freemasons".
Found facts will also be provided that Jackson had a doppelgänger…
I know the truth and I will tell it!
I am a member of The Order myself and I know why the Illuminati helped Jackson deceive the world. I want as many people as possible to know the truth. After all, what Michael Jackson has already managed is a trifle compared to his far-reaching plans, which he is going to implement in this century.
Why did the Illuminati agree to Michael Jackson's plan?
Yes, because no one has ever been able to refuse him. Ask the people closest to him, and they will say: Michael always got his way.
Already 4 years ago, Michael Jackson conceived this plan. His intentions were as serious as ever. It was then, 4 years ago, that he met with a representative of our Order in Naples and offered to help him in the implementation of his plan. The pay that Michael Jackson promised for this was beyond anyone's expectations. Our Order does not need money, but the huge amount received for the execution of the order of Michael Jackson will allow the Order to work quietly on the solution of the Task, which we have been solving for at least 700 years.
The Order should not be accused of being promiscuous or being too accommodating. Just for money, the Order would not agree to a grandiose deception. However, in the hand of Michael Jackson was not only a sweet gingerbread, but also an iron whip. He hinted very transparently that he would not only generously pay for our consent, but would also do everything so that we could not refuse. If the leadership of the Order still refused, Michael Jackson promised to reveal to the whole world the secret that we carefully concealed during all 700 years of the existence of the Order. This would draw the unwanted attention of the Vatican to the activities of the Order. A similar nuisance already happened in the 1940s, when representatives of the German Nazis tried to make an alliance with the Illuminati. Rumors are circulating around the world about the alleged (and I emphasize the word, "alleged") Illuminati desire for world domination and the brutality involved. Hitler's agents tried to play on these legends, attributing other people's sins to the Order.
I have already said that I intend to tell the whole truth about the secrets of the Order. I will also tell you about the whereabouts of the allegedly deceased Michael Jackson. I am aware that my confessions will be followed by revenge from both Michael Jackson and revenge from The Order. I am breaking the silence that the Illuminati have kept for centuries. And I am aware of what can be expected of me. I don't know if Michael Jackson is capable of murder, but given the circumstances that led him to mount a grand conspiracy to deceive all of humanity, I wouldn't be surprised if he's already contemplating ways to take me out. So to speak, book me a ticket for a trip to the Neverland Ranch without a refund.
Neverland - Michael Jackson Villa
Fans of M. Jackson, of course, know that his villa in California is called "Neverland". This title magical land from a fairytale " Peter Pan". In this country, children stop growing, which means they stop aging. This beautiful fairy tale has a second, rather scary, meaning. None of the fans of Michael Jackson think about this meaning. Well, tell me, when does the counting of human years stop? That's right, when people die.
Why staged an artificial death of Jackson?
Michael Jackson has been obsessed with the idea since childhood that he died as soon as he was born, and therefore that he is a vampire. This strangely combined with his fear of death, which many of his fans know about. It is known that Michael observed a strict regime, because he dreamed of living at least 150 years. He often feared that he would die early, like the legendary Elvis Presley. by the most in an unusual way Michael's youthfulness was his desire to sleep in special chambers, where high oxygen pressure was maintained.
In fact, one was conditioned by the other. Jackson was afraid of death because he never really lived. As a child, the joy of life was taken away from him. Jackson Sr. stubbornly and systematically pushed his son to success in show business, not allowing him to relax in games with peers and childish pranks. The creation of Neverland Ranch was Michael Jackson's attempt to regain the lost joy of childhood.
Jackson's father not only robbed his son of his childhood. He made his son a kind of "drug addict", instilling in him an obsessive desire for constant success on stage. Therefore, the huge wealth that show business brought to Michael Jackson did not satisfy him. Jackson did not see life, did not feel it. He was an outsider in this world. Such detachment gave rise to Michael's belief in his divinity, and - as a result - in inevitable immortality. He tried to achieve this immortality not only by scientific and technical means but also by occult means.
Was Michael Jackson a Vampire?
Michael Jackson considered himself a vampire. Everyone knows that he underwent several facial skin grafts. He endured these painful operations not because he was ashamed of being black. He wanted to become like thousands of the living dead, who - he believed - still had not disappeared from the face of our planet.
On December 2, 1983, the Thriller clip was shown on MTV for the first time.
Filmed on the disc of the same name, Thriller is an attempt to shout to the soldiers of the vampire army. Michael hoped that if he became like them on the outside, he would change on the inside. "Thriller" was like an autobiography of Jackson, in which he laughed at death. But subconsciously he was afraid of death and was looking for the secrets of immortality. He hoped that after seeing the film, the living dead would feel his desperation and come to him.
And they came. One of the vampires led Michael Jackson to the Illuminati.
One way or another, this meeting had to take place. Jackson not only spent millions on pleasure. He spent hundreds of millions searching for immortality. These searches were bound to lead him to the Illuminati sooner or later. At one time, Hitler was looking for contacts with the Illuminati in order to build a thousand-year empire with their help. I have already mentioned this. The Illuminati were able to avoid Hitler's bloodhounds. But Jackson had more resources than the demon-possessed Fuhrer.
With money and threats, he achieved that he was admitted to the archives of the Order, which kept the secrets of millennia. He spent many weeks in the Illuminati archives. At this time, his three doubles constantly flashed in public. It was much easier to find doubles for Michael Jackson with his face, assembled from shreds of skin, as if plastic, than for other celebrities. It was this circumstance that prompted Michael Jackson to plan a fake death. It is about this plan that I will now tell.

The truth about the fictitious death of Michael Jackson
Before leaving for better world, allowed himself an excessive load, which could well lead to cardiac arrest from the anesthetic administered by the attending physician. It is claimed that it was not the real Michael Jackson who died in the hands of the attending physician, but Romanian doppelgänger Dimitri Dragucescu(Dimitrie Draghicescu), who was dragged into one of the biggest intrigues in show business.
Michael Jackson himself at that time calmly boarded a jet plane that took him to the South-East of the United States of America. This Romanian decided to be like two peas in a pop legend, for three years he underwent many plastic surgeries. He also learned to copy the manner of speech and style of behavior, not to mention the choreographic abilities. But still it was not the great Michael Jackson, but just his double, who was taken to the hospital.
Think for yourself, the person who called the emergency response service did not answer who is ill, and what is his name. In principle, even if the idol of millions died, then in 911 they would reliably hide this information from outsiders, besides, they have special sensors that react to the degree of excitement of the caller, thereby allowing you to find out about the reliability of the call. At that moment, there were no suspicions, but the person actually died, but it was unlikely that it was Michael Jackson.
Dimitri Dragucescu was mortally ill and knew that sooner or later his turn would come, so he agreed to play the role of the corpse of the Great King. In addition, the real Michael promised a generous reward to the family of the Romanian double, and he simply could not refuse such a luxurious way to leave. In fact, Jackson is alive, and he was absolutely healthy, because all his life he tried to keep himself in amazing shape, which would allow him to live not 50 years, but all 150. Most likely, the planned blackmail was successful, and now Michael Jackson is calm with looks at what is happening from the side with a smile. This man reached such heights in his life that several generations do not reach, he had everything that one could dream of. He was loved by millions, and he paid the same, and the series of scandals that was associated with the name of the singer is nothing more than a way to warm up attention to his person.
Michael Jackson's secret diary
After Michael's death, his close longtime friend allegedly found the singer's diary, in which he repeatedly mentioned a certain death plan, a staging that he wants to crank out. The diary stated that Jackson wanted to simulate his departure from this world from a heart attack. Also in his diary, Jackson writes that he was tired of his name being associated only with scandalous details of his life, he's fed up with all the hype, and he just wants to get away, rest. He goes on to describe such details that allegedly another King of the stage, Elvis Presley, who had problems with drugs, at one time also staged his death theatrically, although in fact, another person was in his place.
It is quite possible that Jackson decided in this way to get rid of all the problems at once and simply fool the world community. In confirmation of this, there are many facts that clearly show that Michael Jackson could not just disappear in an instant. In his diary, he writes that he is most likely simulating a heart attack that will occur from strong drugs.
He even chose the day when he would reveal himself to the world, lifeless. He wanted to choose either Christmas or New Year but doubted. He further wrote that after that a completely different life would come, which would be more beautiful than the one that was before. He understood that he had a million-strong army of fans, which he would lose forever, but he did not know and could not imagine another way to get rid of all the pressing problems at once.
The close friend who found this manuscript was taken aback by the information it contained. He decided to give the diary to friends and relatives of the singer. As he correctly noted, this is not his thing, it does not belong to him. According to people close to Michael, the singer announced his intention to leave in 2008, but then no one took his words seriously. When the case turned out in this way, there was an immediate resonance in the media. This real project fraud which, if exposed, would be a powerful weapon against the superstar's identity. Legal Consequences in this case will be more than serious. When this information was made public, ordinary people happily accepted the fact that Michael Jackson could indeed be alive, and that it was a prank. Ordinary people love him the way he is in his songs, his work and they don't care about what really happened. They believe that he didn't do it for money, not for insurance, to cover all his debts.
Doppelgänger Jackson's death
On June 25 last year, the world was stunned by the news that overnight eclipsed all others. Pop idol Michael Jackson has died. At first, no one believed this contradictory information, some even decided that it was nothing more than a duck or someone's bad joke. Many continued to believe that Jackson was alive and just hiding. Moreover, thousands of witnesses around the world unanimously claimed that they had seen the King of Pop.
In particular, his family behaved extremely suspiciously, on the basis of which, the journalists decided that death of michael jackson is not fiction. Then the whole world knew that death itself popular singer in the real world, really.
After reliable medical confirmation of death, the family of the deceased demanded a second autopsy to find out for sure whether it was really Michael. An autopsy showed that Michael Jackson died from a large dose of the painkiller Diprivan (another name in the medical world is "Propofol"), which was injected into him by his attending physician. The attending physician is found guilty of the death of the most popular singer in the world.
The best lawyers tried to drop the charge against the attending physician, but as it turned out, this was absolutely impossible. Nevertheless, some argue that death is nothing more than a very high-quality staging, and in fact, Jackson was an absolutely healthy person who would not have lived up to 50 years, up to 150 years.
Regarding his bankruptcy, this is also nothing more than a fiction, he still had huge financial resources and could afford a lot. One gets the impression that Jackson is sitting quietly somewhere in secluded place and with a smile on his lips watching what is happening. He achieved even more than he imagined, so why not indulge in such a small prank?
Perhaps he was tired of being popular, because popularity does not relieve loneliness, and apparently, Jackson was an unhappy person. Many did not understand him when he decided to have an operation and changed his skin color, but when the tragedy came to his house, it seemed that everyone who even disliked Michael began to mourn with those who considered him their idol.
When did the Michael Jackson lookalike die?
On June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, a staged death was performed. And on Thursday, September 3, at the Glendale Forest Lawn cemetery in the suburbs of Los Angeles, millions of people around the world watched how the funeral of the “King” took place, so how to regard the fact that he is alive or really went to another world? Nobody knows for sure.
What actually happened will remain a mystery to everyone, the key to which will be extremely difficult to find.
Perhaps this is one great performance, in which the King of Millions played leading role, and I must say he played it perfectly, forcing the whole world to believe in his sudden death. After all, judge for yourself how otherwise such a famous person could disappear without a trace, whose life has recently become the subject of discussion throughout the globe, a certain stagnation was noticed in creativity, and here there is such a chance that you need to use as soon as possible. After all, Michael Jackson disappeared immediately after the world tour, doesn't it seem suspicious or even mystical to you?
The golden lid of the coffin was closed, behind it it was not visible who was in the coffin.
Immediately after the announcement of the death of the great singer, all of him soared to the top of the charts, his album began to be bought up with tripled force, knowing about the debts that had accumulated a lot, Jackson and his entourage could well pull off such a scam. All statements about long-term illness and other health problems are nothing more than a myth. Jackson was in great shape and was not going to die, at least not so soon. More of such a genius may not appear on the stage, and if he does, how will the world react to him? Will he accept a new, yet unknown singer? Only time will give an answer to this question.
What do you think?
Trailer - That's it
As a result, at about 3 o'clock Moscow time, almost all the media, citing official representatives of the hospital, reported: "Jackson is dead." Immediately after that, thousands of comments began to appear on Twitter, Facebook and other services.
Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana. Already at the age of four, he became a member of the Jackson Five family group and soon took the place of the lead vocalist.
In 1968, the Jackson Five signed a contract with Motown Records and recorded such hits as I Want You Back, ABC, The Love You Save and I "ll Be There. In the mid-70s, the popularity of the Jackson Five began to decline, and Solo career Michael began to gain momentum.
In 1978, Jackson starred in the musical film The Wiz, which began his long collaboration with famous producer and composer Quincy Jones. Together with him, Michael released a solo album Off the Wall the following year. The disc took the top lines of the US and UK charts, and for the song Don "t Stop" Til You Get Enough, Jackson received his first Grammy statuette.
Michael Jackson is only fifty dollars. He does not remember Stalin, but he definitely found Khrushchev young. Because Michael Jackson was born in 1958. He could be a charming aging black guy.....if not for his, so to speak, little oddities. .
As a child, Jackson was a handsome boy with a wide nose common to African Americans. From the age of 5 he began to perform, and at 11 he was already a real star. Nothing, as they say, foreshadowed ...
This is one of recent photos Jackson in its original form. Here he is 21.
1984 aged 26
Jackson does the first operation. Narrowing of the tip of the nose. And although everyone notices the change, negative comments are almost inaudible. First, the nose looks very natural. And secondly, the public's love for the singer during this period is too great. Still would! It's 1984 in the yard: the famous Thriller album is released, Jackson signs a contract with Pepsi. In public, he jokes, smiles, demonstrates the moonwalk. Life is Beautiful.
1985 aged 27
Oh! For some reason, Michael narrows the tip of his nose even more and does permanent eye makeup. And it seems that in this photo he still has made up lips. However, public scandal is still far away. At this time, the singer is surrounded by a whole army of lawyers, producers, assistants and managers who protect his personal life and reputation. All in all, things are going well for Michael. The song "We are the world", and all sorts of awards are pouring on the guy.
1987 aged 29
This is already the beginning of the end. Now the society is talking seriously. First, Jackson further narrowed his nose and nose wings. Secondly, expressive cheekbones appeared from somewhere, but, most importantly, his chocolate skin suddenly turned white! At first, he denied this, and then suddenly announced that he was suffering from Vitiligo disease, due to which a pigment deficiency occurs in the body, and pink spots appear on the skin. The version does not stand up to any criticism, they begin to giggle at Michael. Someone even spreads a cruel joke: "Only in America can you be born a black man and die a white woman."
1991 32 years old
The nose becomes triangular, the wings are completely flat, the tip is very sharp, and to all this, a hefty square implant with a dimple appeared in the jaw. Michael hides from the public behind black glasses, which causes a new wave of jokes about the fact that he is actually not him, but his sister LaToya. Well, of course! This is probably why no one has ever seen them together in the same room. In general, Michael's business is bad. Communication with the press is carried out in the manner of "Leave me alone", "I have a serious illness" and "I had a difficult childhood."
1997 aged 38
This photo in an American magazine was captioned "Alcoholic Housewife". In Russian, approximately "Domestic female alcoholism."
2000, Michael is 41
Wow! Now he looks like a goat. It can be seen that he did a facelift, and, it seems, he was trying to fix his nose. In any case, the wings have become wide again, and a new puff has appeared at the tip. And now there is another implant in the jaw - narrower. Not to mention the new facial hair...
2001 Jackson 42
Somewhere in these years, information appears that Jackson has some problems with his nose. It didn't fail, it didn't fall off...
2001, aged 42
This photo was taken by a fan of Michael Jackson. She caught the singer as he was getting out of his limousine. The photo turned out so scary that the girl immediately sold it to the local yellow newspaper.
In the same year
A rubber monkey in a black wig - this is how the journalists present at the trial described Michael Jackson. Jackson ended up in the dock after he canceled 2 of his concerts in New York for an unknown reason. Producer Marcel Avraham charged Michael $21 million, and Jackson said he simply decided to stay at home to watch TV. Reporters were able to take this photo only in the courthouse, on the street the singer hid his face under a medical mask, explaining this by the fact that there are a lot of germs in the air .... And the wig is cute.
September 2004 Newspapers claim that Michael Jackson got a new nose. One brave German surgeon, Werner Mang, was found, took the cartilage from the singer's ear and built a new nose, taking into account, so to speak, the special wishes of the customer. In an interview with reporters, the doctor admitted that his patient had undergone an unthinkable amount of plastic surgery. After each album, Jackson narrowed his nose more and more until the cartilage simply atrophied. Now everything will be fine. Maybe...
2005, 46 years old
At least this year, Michael's nose is still in its place, and not like Gogol's, "went for a walk."
No matter how scandalous and controversial Michael's life was, he always remained and will remain the King of Pop, even now, after his death. May the King live forever!
