@ Black Dragon: I agree about Michael Jackson, though I always thought he was innocent of those bogus charges. My feeling is that he was too powerful of an influence on the general public, with positive messages that would undermine the status quo. So his credibility was destroyed.
This has happened to many influential people. One incident comes to mind—the movie Powder. Powder is a fantastic movie about an advanced individual born into our time, whose level of awareness and love is far beyond the average. But the media blasted the director as a pedophile, resulting in many people boycotting the movie. My mother wouldn't watch it even though I tried to explain how good it was. I researched the director and found that he was accused not of pedophilia, but statutory rape, when he was just over 18 and his girlfriend was 17 (or something close to that). So why was the media lying and driving people away from this movie?
In honor of Michael Jackson, his love, his influence, and his amazing talent:
I'll have to check that movie out. If an entertainer of some sort has a message that goes against that status quo and doesn't play by "their" rules, this is what happens in the music and entertainment industries. The fact it was 18 and 17 "statutory rape" reminds me of how bogus the court system is. It's a total joke, but not a very funny one. I saw a talk show once a long time ago where it shows people who got labeled a sex offender and in legal trouble who didn't deserve it, there was an 8 or 10 year old girl playing house with boys roughly her age and they simulated sex with clothes on, and she gets slapped with a sex offender label for life. Good luck having a normal life or getting most jobs.
They have this ridiculous sex offender witch hunt against ordinary people while it's the elite doing it to the biggest extreme and not being punished. The "justice" system is a total shitshow. Also, just listening to that super bowl performance and looking at the mood and imagery involved...how the hell did we divert from that line of progress and end up in all this hate filled bullshit going on today? I think a lot of it has to do with why the "powers that be" silence people with those types of messages. They want to play us off against one another, because the second the dogs stop fighting each other over table scraps and turn their attention to the fat bastards stuffing their face at the table, the whole dynamic changes.
