Rest In Peace to Jess Garcia

This week, it was announced that fellow MJ fan/MJ advocate, Jess Garcia, passed away last week. This was a shock in the fan community. Here is the link to the Gofundme page - https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-jess-garcia?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Jess was part of many things that dealt with the reaction to the Leaving Neverland foolery. She worked on Square One, did a podcast discussing the false movie such as this one - 


and have been working with Taj for his upcoming docu series on Michael among other things. Taj stated that Jess will be honored in the docu series. 

It is always sad to see someone passed away in their prime of their lives. I hope that her family and loved ones are holding up and may she rest in peace. 

Revisted: Bevy Smith's Interview with the Jacksons/Michael Thanks Elephant Man

I wanted to revisited the two topics that I previously discussed on this podcasts for two very different reasons. The first one is being revisited because of technical issues. 


The second reason was because I was falling asleep while talking about the subject.

Dan Reed Blames "Jackson Machine" for the LN Backlash and States Other Nonsense/New MJ Doc That is Tabloid.

Once again, Dan Reed is lying about Michael but what else is new? He stated in a recent podcast interview that the reason why Leaving Neverland was trashed was because of the "Jackson Machine". I guess Dan Reed forgot that Taj and Brandi were ignored by almost ALL mainstream media but his two liars were everywhere. Taj and Brandi had to do podcast interviews on Youtube and the radio while Dan and his sidekicks were all over the place like Good Morning America, CBS Morning, Today Show, Good Morning Britain, Oprah LN Special among other things. Also, Michael's side of the story was completely ignored by the mainstream media. While Wade and James was getting photoshoots from Billboard.com, Taj and the like, were struggling to get anyone in the mainstream media to talk to them about their uncle's innocence. 


Dan also stated in another interview about Michael's sexuality and that he did not think Michael thought that he was gay but Dan believes that Michael was a "pedophile" and he stated this laughable claim - 


No common sense person will learn about Michael from two fools who cannot keep their lies straight and who hasn't told any facts about Michael for as long as they "known" Michael. Dan silly ass learns about Michael from two losers who really did not know him but not from people that actually knew Michael. If Dan really knew Michael, he would not even remotely call Michael a "pedophile" and/nor/or "gay". 

There is another documentary that will continue the narrative in trashing Michael to stay relevant. It is time for fans to stop focusing on what the mainstream media will continue to do to Michael and focus on how we as fans will change the narrative when it comes to Michael. These people are defeated and will not admit to defeat so they are not going to stop the lynching. However, we have to fight back and part of fighting back is supporting documentaries that tell the truth. 

The R. Kelly Trial: Why People Need to Stop Comparing Michael to Robert Kelly.

Both cases/trials were not the same. 


Typical of the lazy mainstream media to compare these men to one another based on unproven and false information. Michael's music is played everywhere so what is this useless Neil McCormick talking about? Of course, nothing. 

A podcast called Conversations in a Cafe interviewed fellow MJ fan and advocate Dr. Andrew Greene about the two cases and how they are NOT the same and should not be compared. It starts at 9:29 - 


More proof that both cases/trials were not the same was how R. Kelly treated one of his actual victims, the late, great Aaliyah. This short report on R. Kelly's allegations goes into what he did with the singer after she removed herself from him. Starts in 4:16 - 


Michael would never ruin the careers of anyone nor would he ever harm anyone. That was not his character. He was too decent to even think of doing that. However, the mainstream media does not care for these things. All they care about is destroying Michael at all costs. 



Drake Will Never Be Michael. NEVER.

Billboard.com decided to create nonsense by stating complete foolery about Drake's new album, Certified Lover Boy, breaking records that Michael held with the Thriller album. The aging publication decided to proclaim that Drake has become just as big as Michael during Michael's heyday during the Thriller era. This article written by Matthew Allen breaks down the absurdity of the Billboard fantasy - 






People on social media, including the blue ticks and celebrities like Missy Elliott, had something to state about the comedy. Many people went to Youtube to break down why comparing Drake to Michael is disturbing. 


An account on twitter created a post asking people what is their best MJ song that isn't Thriller or Billie Jean and this made Michael's songs trend. Cancel who??

Michael's son, Prince was asked about this. This is what he stated - 




Yep. 

The Estate Dropped The Ball on #MJ50

As usual, the people who work for the Estate of Michael Jackson dropped the ball regarding the 50th anniversary of Michael's solo career. 


SMH. 


Dave Chappelle Exposed The Hypocrites and Why This Relates to MJ

Recently, comedian Dave Chappelle did a comedy special for Netflix called The Closer. He has been receiving a lot of controversy because of his views of the LGBTQ community. He angered the people he angered and he made it clear on why he stated what he stated about them. 


It kind of reminds me of the backlash he received when he called out the liars Robson and Safechuck on his 2019 comedy special Sticks and Stones. Chappelle basically ruined all the credibility of LN by stated that he did not believe those "MFers" and that no one should watch that movie. He stated it was disgusting and even stated that Charlie Murphy (RIP) told him that MJ was into women. Dan Reed and Robson released their lame statements regarding what Chappelle stated but no one cared anymore. 

Chappelle has the guts to call out the hypocrites and does not care. 

He Can't Get Cancelled: MJ Has 23M Subscribers on Youtube

Michael reached 23M subscribers on Youtube. Once again, who is cancelling Michael? No one. 



Megan Kelly "Defends" Michael... Too Weird But the Tide Could Be Changing.

I never thought I will see the day that Megan Kelly, who openly trashed Michael in 2018, would "defend" him in 2021. I did not expect this at all. She did an interview with Adam Curry who is a podcaster who used to be an MTV VJ. He stated some very interesting things about MJ - 




Is the tide turning or will she go back to her old ways??? Only time will tell.
