To all of the beautiful people who love Michael Jackson,
I feel so honored and blessed to be a part of such a loving community of people. MJ fans are the best! It’s been a privilege to get acquainted with so many loyal fans around the world and to share our love for Michael and our deep pain over losing him. This journey has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and an amazing discovery of new strength and courage to be bold, as Michael was, taking me places I never dreamed I would go! But, this journey has also been fraught with much pain over the injustices Michael suffered in his lifetime. Of all people, he is one who deserved it the least, yet this world turned on him and decided to make him their target. He became the media’s ‘cash cow!’
The past several days have been difficult as we have had to listen to others make statements about our beloved Michael - statements which go against everything Michael ever said about himself and everything we believe to be true about him. This is slander in its ugliest form, when the one being slandered is not even here to respond on his own behalf!
It’s natural to want to strike back to protect the one we love, the one who endured so much pain from lies and false accusations in his lifetime, pain that we could not protect him from while he was here. But I beg you to think before you react! To remember the next time something like this happens - and yes, it’s bound to happen again - that we have the power to either fuel or diffuse the lies! It’s all in our hands! Even though we may be feeling helpless at the time, we do indeed have ALL the power - that is exactly why they do what they do - because they know how we will react. And our reaction is what they are counting on!
Questions we should be asking:
Why did this schmuck & Dr. Klein and/or Extra ‘decide’ to release this story on the exact date of Aphrodite Jones’ True Crime special about the media conspiracy against Michael?
My guess is, there was money involved.
What was the purpose?
I believe it was to divert people’s attention from the TRUTH. Get the fans riled up, talking about it incessantly online - on every blog and forum. To change the focus of discussions online, which generates more hits on the tabloid sites, which brings them more money. We didn’t disappoint!
So, who paid them?
WE did!!!
Did their plan work?
YES! The very first item I read online was from a well-meaning fan on facebook who posted a plea to all fans to go to the website of Extra and beg them not to air this segment. This spread like wildfire. Within the hour, topics of discussion around the web were redirected to this subject, and I would guess about just as many hits on the Extra website were happening at the same time. This all translates to money in their pockets, dear people….PLEASE remember that!
Do you think that contacting the media in question and begging them not to air a specific segment of their program is really going to change their minds?
NO! By doing this, we only confirmed what they were counting on - that we would react the way we did! Even if we didn’t watch the show, we reinforced the very act of slander we were trying to stop! And, to add even more fuel to the fire, we not only visited Extra’s website, we visited other tabloid sites as well because we wanted to check it out and see what they were saying about it! We reacted! We gave them what they wanted!
Please, please remember this….
WE dictate what the tabloids print or air on TV because of how we react!!!
We all want to protect Michael and his legacy, as well as his family, from any further slander and pain. The way we do this is by NOT reacting to this kind of news - at least not publicly.
E-mail your MJ friends. Go to your private sites or MJ forums and talk about it - blow off steam, support and encourage one another in your pain and anguish over this injustice, by all means. But also remind each other NOT to fuel the fire-breathing dragon. DO NOT show your anger or your fear to the medialoids by reacting in any way that will give their tactics power - this will reinforce the exact thing we are trying to stop!
They know us well - they know how much Michael is loved by all his fans around the world. They know we get angry. They know exactly what will set us off and get us coming to their sites to beg for mercy on his behalf or just to see what they‘re saying about it. Entering their site = more money in their pockets. Simple as that. That’s all they want!
We are so predictable! Let’s show some restraint and be Unpredictable. THAT will change the very thing we’ve been wanting to change! If they don’t get the hits, they will stop publishing dirt on MJ. As long as we generate heat on the internet over the negative press, the negative press wins - that’s where it gets its fuel. The fire-breathing dragon lives on as long as we provide the fuel!
YES, we DO have that much power!!! BELIEVE IT! …….They do……. And Michael believes it too!
May we continue the fight for Justice for Michael...and WIN! And while fighting the battle, remember, sometimes the best strategy is restraint, and knowing when to employ that strategy.
