Michael, You Will Be Missed - RIP

Michael Jackson.

The name, since I was young enough to appreciate music to the point where I was memorizing names, stuck in my head throughout the Jackson 5; and I was one of the first in line to get my Thriller album, which is still in vinyl, sitting in my closet, where it is a tribute to 27 years of history. I can think of very few who did not attempt to do the Moon Walk as I grew up - hell, I can recall a few weeks before hearing about his death, someone at work tried to do it here and we all laughed as his sneakers got caught on the carpet. A bunch of 30 and 40-somethings all laughing and remembering the childhood awe that we felt about him, his music, his glittered glove!

Regardless of news reports his sex life, or his growing eccentric behavior...his ruining his relationship with Paul McCartney by trying to buy the Beatles songs... I think most people, although they would joke about him and his possible sexual desires for pre-teen boys, all felt in their hearts that it was more about a man who was torn from his childhood and wanted playmates...and could only relate to children; and who had major mental problems. There are priests and such who have raped boys, but I don't think that Michael Jackson ever raped anyone - and I have rarely, despite jokes - met anyone who really thinks he did either.

On the day of his recent death, and the day after, an ex-boyfriend began texting me all of these jokes about MJ and his penchant for young boys; then the texts escalated into making fun of his face and his surgeries. I had to write him back and tell him to please STOP - it wasn't funny. The man was DEAD. Three children are without a father, and a world who grew up with him as the center of their musical universe as a child had that man taken away...a man who had become a shell of what he once was. My ex's curt response was "I love the way he was hated by Paul McCartney who issued a press release he loved him and for a decade he was called a child molester but now he's a saint...No one I know is upset (that he is dead) at all."

Well, for starters, this explains why this person and I are no longer dating...but what really gets me is that although some might call him a child molester, I would have to say: look at his interviews. When asked if kids were sleeping in his bed with him and having sleep-overs, he would reply enthusiastically, "Yes!" and talk about all the fun they had. He went to bed watching cartoons. A person I know, who worked in shwanky hotel that MJ stayed at one night said that he called room service. When she asked what he wanted, thinking he wanted food, he asked her to tell him a bedtime story because he couldn't sleep.

I ask you: who can't look at the man and see that he was just trying to re-live his childhood, one that he never was allowed to really have? He was troubled, yes; had mental problems, yes; but although some of us had a good laugh at some of the issues that were going on and his odd behavior, we need to look at the brilliant boy, the brilliant young man, who did indeed become the King of Pop and created a legacy that will go into history for all the good he did.

And what my darling, empathy-filled (I hope the sarcasm is dripping as I type) ex seems to forget is that even people who are seen as twisted at times, and even when there is anger in relationships involved, people will still mourn the untimely death of such a brilliant star who was so troubled that he only weighed 112 at his death. I mean, hell - I will actually mourn when Robert dies...which, I cannot say he would do for me, or anyone for that matter. But that is a whole other post.

Michael - thank you for the good times. I'm so sorry that you were so unhappy. I wish you could have been happier...and hopefully the Neverland you were seeking is now in your hands and around you. Rest peacefully.

Day of Death

Jesus first Farrah Fawcett, now Michael Jackson. Only 50 years old. Was it the compulsive plastic surgery? We probably will never know, but for now enjoy the best music video ever (well I would have put it in, but MJ didn't allow embedding of videos on blogs):

Pacquiao’s second-round knockout of Britain’s Ricky Hatton last May 2 was given special mention in the Filipino boxer’s page in the online magazine list.

Honor
Aside from Pacquiao, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers said he was honored to be included in the list.
“I would like to thank all the AskMen.com readers for voting for me,” he added.
Bryant occupied the 33rd spot while NBA MVP James ranked 42nd.
Tiger Woods, the first athlete to earn $1 billion, was at No. 30.
Other athletes who ranked lower than Pacquiao include Lance Armstrong (No. 49), Jenson Button (No. 48), Dwyane Wade (No. 43), Andy Roddick (No. 35) and Cristiano Ronaldo (No. 28).
Roger Federer and Usain Bolt, meantime, ranked higher than Pacquiao at No. 8 and No. 2, respectively.
Meanwhile, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White, was at the 10th spot while mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Georges St-Pierre was voted the No. 36 most influential man.
Greatest impact
According to AskMen.com, this year’s list is composed of “men who had the greatest impact on how other men behave, dress, buy, and think.”
The readers voted for the men who influenced them the most from about 200 candidates. AskMen.com averaged out the over 500,000 votes with the ratings of its staff.
This year’s list was topped by Don Draper, the protagonist of television series “Mad Men.”
Other entrants who made it to the list came from entertainment, technology and politics. US President Barack Obama, the 2008 most influential man, was ranked third.
Celebrities who made it to the list include Simon Cowell (No. 5), Michael Jackson (No. 6), Jay-Z (No. 11), Ashton Kutcher (No. 17), George Clooney (No. 20) and Brad Pitt (No. 21). – With a report from Dong Secuya, PhilBoxing.com

Mike Seeks Help...

mike tyson arrestedmike tyson arrested
Mike Tyson has checked himself into rehab for "various addictions." I don't know what those addictions are, but I'm sure that I wouldn't be surprised if those "addictions" were made public. He's at a "secret" rehab in Phoenix and will supposedly remain there until he has to go to court Feb . 26 for his little drug arrest in December. Everytime I hear something about Mike, I just get a quick (real quick) feeling of sadness. He's a living tradegy! Well good luck gettin that monkey off ya back Mike...

Tiger Wood Like Tweets To Stop

On the 7th of December Google began the first phase of offering a real-time search capability, incorporating Twitter feeds into search results. As way of keeping a finger on the pulse of news and comment, it has certainly made many people sit up and pay attention – not least of whom is Tiger Woods.
Tiger Twitter Real-time Tops Rankings

The Twitter community has latched onto the Tiger Woods story with a vengeance; as of the 10th of December any search for ‘Tiger Woods’ also brings up a scrolling ‘Latest Results’ section along with standard website listings. As well as a significant amount of Twitter feeds, there are a great deal of other new stories and articles being brought up too.

The quality of these ‘news’ sources varies a great deal, ranging from broadsheet website articles to cheeky Twitter jokes aimed squarely at Tiger Woods’ and his recent alleged foray into the world of minor car crashes and bouts of infidelity. While many organisations are taking advantage of the Tiger Woods column inches – it is the relentless Twitter feeds which have capably demonstrated how real-time search can work as regards the hot issues.

Reputation Management

Google has also made deals with both Facebook and Myspace, which should see even more feeds added to the real time mix. For those charged with reputation management, the fact that a single person’s potentially negative opinion broadcast on any of these feeds can trump a long established website – albeit for a short period – means their job has just got much more challenging.

This access to the very latest Twitter feeds could arguably gauge immediate public reaction on a subject better than anything else. These uncensored (relatively) gut reactions can be cruel, funny or enlightening – but because of the immediacy of Twitter, the voices of normal people are brought to the world instantly. There are few newspaper editors propagating any particular view – instead, there are thousands of ordinary people with real opinions, sharing them with each other and the web.

Tiger Woods has found himself at the centre of the very first real-time storm, but there are likely to be many larger stories ahead that will find voice on Twitter, Facebook and others. At the very least, topical jokes will spread around the globe faster than ever before.

Tiger Woods Richest Athlete!!! Part 2

Tiger Woods

In a recent issue of Esquire Magazine they dug into the Tiger Economy. We already told you that Tiger Woods is currently worth more than $650 million and climbing! Woods earned $100 million alone last year. It is still unbelievable that this man has already surpassed the financial net worth of the most famous athlete on the planet! Michael Jordan. But we are going to provide some further insight on the enormous wealth of Tiger Woods.

Tiger was recently in Dubai playing a tournament and shooting Gillette commercials and designed his first golf course as a part of an exclusive development called Tiger Woods-Dubai. He is reported to be getting anything up to $45 million for just putting his name on the project.

His list of endorsements read like this; Accenture, American Express, Buick/General Motors, TAG Heuer, Gillette, NetJets, Electronic Arts and of course Nike. Nike will not disclose how much their contract with Woods is, but his 1st contract with them was reported to be $40 million and the 2nd $100 million over 5 years, and Bob Wood who is president of Nike Golf says “that anything less than $200 million for 7 years wouldn’t be exciting anyone.”

Industry insiders say that in Tiger’s first year as a pro he brought in an additional $653 million to the game of golf. When he turned pro Woods singed endorsement deals worth a reported $67 million. We will have more on the amazing bank of Golf’s greatest player in the coming weeks…..

Daily Sports Pick: Tiger woods

Tiger Woods

There isn’t much value betting Woods this weekend. He’s a huge favorite and the public is all over him. At the same time, sometimes you pay for a brand name because it is simply better quality. That’s the case here with Woods as I’m more comfortable backing him on this impossible course, where he has won before, opposed to betting someone else who may or may not really have a chance to win.

Tiger Woods Takedown Reported Ordered By CIA

An interesting FSB report circulating in the Kremlin today states that the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is behind an unrelenting media assault upon US golf legend Eldrick Tont Tiger Woods [photo top left with his Swedish model wife Elin Nordegren] and had ordered his takedown in an effort to greater fuel their efforts to ignite a race war these forces believe is needed in order to socially re-engineer the United States as it nears total economic collapse.

The startling revelations in this report are reported by the FSB to have been released to Russian Glavnoye Razvedyvatel’noye Upravleniye (GRU) agents posted at the Russian Embassy in Washington D.C. this past week by an associate of the head of the American private military force known as Blackwater (now known as Xe Services LLC), Erik Prince, who had just been outed by the CIA as being one of their main operatives involved in a covert plot to assassinate enemies of the United States.

So angry was Prince over his outing by the CIA, that aside from releasing previously secret CIA intelligence to the GRU he blasted the American spy agency by publicly stating to the US magazine Vanity Fair, “I put myself and my company at the CIA’s disposal for some very risky missions, but when it became politically expedient to do so, someone threw me under the bus.”

To the reason behind the CIA’s targeting of Tiger Woods, this report continues, is the deliberate demoralization of America’s Black raced population by the destruction of one of their most esteemed idols by the racially stereotyped depiction of him as an out of control and oversexed negro man unable to assimilate among whites.

Even worse, this report further states that the main target behind the media destruction of Woods is President Obama, whom the CIA has calculated will suffer increasing alienation from his Nations white population (who number 75% of the American population compared to a black population of just 12.4%) by his being compared with Woods as both Obama and Woods are viewed as the two most popular of all Black Americans and reinforcing white Americans belief that Black men just cant control themselves.

New reports from the United States are showing that these CIA actions against Obama are indeed working as a just released Gallup Poll finds his approval rating falling below 50% among all Americans for the first time of his Presidency, and among white people alone falling to the chilling low level of just 39%.

To the disdain held by the CIA against Obama we can see evidenced by a report from a former member of the CIA’s Directorate of Operations named Kent Clizbe who states in an article titled CIA Counterterrorism Expert: Obama and Holder ‘At War’ with Agency that the Holder/Obama Global War on the CIA has only just begun.

Not being understood by the American people, however, is that Obama’s war against the CIA is deemed vital to the survival of the black peoples of America who have been under an unrelenting assault by this spy agency for over 40 years and who have pumped literally hundreds of Trillions of dollars worth of drugs into America’s Black communities (and reaping Trillions in profits) from their vast narcotics networks of cocaine from Colombia and opium from Afghanistan.

To the horrific destruction of American Blacks by the CIA it should be noted that the courageous investigative reporter Gary Webb first brought the insidiousness of this spy agencies actions in a 20,000 word, three-part investigative series titled Dark Alliance written for his then publisher San Jose Mercury News, but who under pressure from the US government stopped their publication of Webb’s articles, none of which were ever reported by the mainstream US propaganda media. On December 10, 2004, Webb was found dead with two gunshot wounds to his head, which was ruled a suicide.

So successful has the CIA’s genocidal destruction of the Black population of America been that aside from having the Worlds largest number of their citizens in prisons (Land of the Free?), the Black population of the US is jailed at a rate of 3,138 black males per 100,000 against 451 per 100,000 of white males and leading Human Rights Watch to warn in a 2008 report that fully 11% of the Black male population of the US were behind bars, and at just 12.4% of the American population they now make up nearly 55% of all American prisoners.

It is also interesting to note in this report that the CIA backed American tabloid newspaper National Enquirer is reported to have broken the scandalous stories about Woods, and which is important in that this tabloid was one of the main targets of the US Military retaliatory strike against the CIA following the attacks on September 11, 2001, when its headquarters building in Boca Raton, Florida was infected by the deadly anthrax botulism killing a photo editor named Robert Stevens who became the first death in what is now known as the 2001 Anthrax Attacks.

To one of the most fearful conclusions of this report it states that with Woods destruction by scandal nearly complete, Obama will become so weakened among American white people that his effectiveness to govern will be destroyed, a most grim outlook especially when viewed in the light of the Global ratings agency Moody’s Investor Service now warning that the United States credit rating is in danger of being downgraded for the first time in its history and the US government also warning that their entire economy is in danger of collapse because their citizens are saving their money instead of spending it, and in an economy based not on making things but on consuming is vitally important.

Most unfortunately for these American people in all of these events is their utter failure to remember their own history, especially the events of the dark Great Depression year of 1933 when another of their Presidents, Franklin Roosevelt, when facing off against these evilest of forces was nearly deposed by coup called The Business Plot led by Prescott Bush (the father of one President, the grandfather of another) and which sought to join a new Fascist led United States with that of Nazi Germany which had, likewise in 1933, saw the seizure of their government by the US backed and financed Adolph Hitler.

To if Obama, like Roosevelt before him, will be able to withstand and survive the war being waged against him it is not in our knowing. What is in our knowing though, is that unlike Roosevelt, Obama now governs a population of Americans of whom the majority have been reduced to nothing more than idiots and imbeciles and, like the peoples of Nazi Germany before them, are totally uncaring and blinded to the mass genocide of their Black population that has been happening right before them.
