Michael Jackson is on $4.07 million dollar bail after being accused of multiple counts of child molestation against a boy under 14. Jackson and his lawyers have strongly denied the accusations, calling them “a big lie.”

But, as if things concerning Michael weren’t bizarre enough. Now it has become known to the public that Michael Jackson; 45 year old, accused pedophile and self-proclaimed “King of Pop” has befriended members of the Nation of Islam.

We begin to wonder what role they play in his life, and why?

”Sources close to the Jackson camp, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AP that Nation of Islam members have handled security at the singer’s Neverland ranch and have begun taking over some of his business affairs since he was accused of committing lewd acts on a child.”

- Associated Press

”December 19, 2003 MICHAEL Jackson became a member of the black group Nation of Islam on the eve of being formally charged with child molestation, the New York Post reported today.”

- The New York Post

All sources have confirmed that The Nation of Islam, a Black supremacist group well-known for separatist anti-white rhetoric, has been involved in Jackson’s business affairs for at least a year now.

A news conference that was held on Michael Jackson’s behalf after charges of committing lewd acts on a child were announced on Dec. 18, one of the members of Nation of Islam standing behind Michael at the conference was Leonard F. Muhammad, the Nation of Islam’s chief of staff.

Lead by Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam advocates black supremacist ideologies and seeks to eventually establish a separate African-American state within America.

Michael Jackson has been hiring the Nation of Islam members as security guards.

”Jermaine introduced Nation of Islam leader Leonard F. Muhammad — Farrakhan’s chief of staff — into the group as a “bodyguard.”

- Fox News

According to Fox News, Jermaine Jackson converted to Islam in 1989.

When the Associated Press asked about the Nation of Islam’s role in Michael Jackson’s affairs, Jackson’s business adviser Charles Koppelman said, ”It’s not the case as to his music, finances and assets. I think it’s primarily in security.”

Farrakhan attended a “Jackson family get-together” on Dec. 20th at Jackson’s Neverland estate near Santa Barbara.

The “family” event was a by-invitation-only event designed to show support for Michael Jackson after he was charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts on a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent. 500 people where invited to this event.

The Fox television channel’s report said Jermaine Jackson and Leonard Muhammad were making the case to Michael that he was a victim of racism and that only the Nation of Islam could save his @#!&%!

”In the meantime, sources portray the situation with Jackson’s inner circle as chaotic, with brother Jermaine Jackson — sensing a chance to win favor with his famous, wealthy brother — bringing Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam into the mix. Jermaine became a Muslim in 1989 after a visit to Saudi Arabia, and his children converted to the faith as well.”

- Fox News

“CHICAGO (NOI.org) -The Nation of Islam, in response to several inquiries, has said today that it has no official business or professional relationship with Mr. Michael Jackson. The Nation of Islam joins thousands of other people in wishing him well.”

- Nation of Islam, press release, The Final Call

Although the Nation of Islam denies it, it appears that Michael Jackson is now taking advice from leader of the Nation of Islam rather than listening to his managers or his rabbi.

Yes, Michael Jackson converted to Judaism a few years ago. His friend, confidant and counselor Rabbi Smuley Boteach “the sex rabbi” took him to temple and influenced Michael for about two years.

“To be sure, Jackson looks as bizarre in person as he does on TV. For one thing, he was the whitest man in temple, and his lips glowed an unnaturally red, much like the greasepaint of a clown. But Jackson’s host, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, says society should stop judging Jackson by his appearance. “We all have eccentricities,” he says. “If you judge Michael by his acts of charity and his compassion, you will see that he is truly an admirable person — and a great father.”Rabbi Boteach is the controversial author of Kosher Sex (Doubleday), the best seller that shook the Orthodox Jewish community for stressing, among other things, that oral sex can be very good for a marriage. In the last year, he’s become the rabbinical answer to Dr. Ruth. The media-friendly rabbi frequently reminds folks that “rabbis long ago made the female orgasm an obligation incumbent on every Jewish husband.”The Times of London named Boteach the 1988 runner-up for its “Preacher of the Year” award. And his lectures were the rage at Britain’s Oxford University. But detractors call him a shameless self-promoter, and they question his ethics. Though he condemns pornography, he also agreed to excerpt his book in Playboy. Now, for some reason, Boteach’s teaching and Jewish tradition fascinate the man who no longer wears one white glove. “Michael has a sincere curiosity in Judaism,” says Boteach, who says he visited one of Jackson’s homes (not the famous Neverland Ranch in California) and, in accordance to Jewish tradition, affixed a mezuzah to the pop star’s door. “He’d listened to me for hours and it’s not that I’m such a fantastic teacher,” Boteach says. “It’s that Jackson is so interested in learning.”

There are, unarguably, many odd things about Michael Jackson, there is no doubt.

The oddest things about all of these goings-on, I think, are:

1)Michael Jackson supposedly had converted to Judaism about 3 or 4 years ago and was apparently attending Synagogue on a regular basis before his recent relations with Nation of Islam infamous for “anti-Semitism.” Could it be that after Jackson “became Jewish” that he began to discover what Zionism was and turned to the Nation of Islam a year ago because of it?

2)Michael Jackson’s sexuality is still a mystery and he wants it kept that way. But regardless of what his sexual identity really is, whether he is bi-sexual, homosexual and/or a pedophile, or not. One thing is certain to me, he isn’t completely heterosexual. None of his marriages were successful. He seems to be in denial of his own sexuality, trying to convince himself and the world that he is straight, when perhaps he is not. I believe him to be a very confused guy with a fragmented sexual identity who needs psychiatric help. The oddest thing about the nation of Islam lending support to Michael Jackson is that they make no apologies for being extremely anti-homosexual. With so much obvious inner confusion in regards to his sexuality, why would he seek the support of such an anti-gay group?

Michael Jackson – A Psychological Profile

“And there he was, in the third pew of the Carlebach Shul. Dark sun glasses. Black fedora. Red silk shirt. Iridescent tie. The man who sang, “I’m bad, I’m bad, You know it,” was praying among 150 of New York’s most religious Jews.”

- ABC News, Buck Wolf, “The Superstar, The Psychic & The Kosher Sex Rabbi – How Michael Jackson, Uri Geller and Shmuley Boteach Struck Up an Unlikely Friendship”

Michael Jackson is a man with a very weak character, prone to unhealthy behavior. He is clearly in denial of his psychological problems and this seems to make him easy prey for cult-like mentality religious groups, such as Nation of Islam and Jewish Zionism.

The quotes below show that many Jewish groups are converting leading non-Jewish figures in Hollywood to Judaism (Michael Jackson included) in order to “save their own” or increase their numbers.

“Some Jewish leaders believe that one way to bring unaffiliated Jews back to Judaism is to show them that non-Jews are interested in Jewish teachings and ethics. If Madonna studies Kabbalah and Michael Jackson goes to shul, then maybe Jews will be impressed sufficiently to explore their own religion, according to the theory.”

-Gary Rosenblatt, “Is Jewish the Next Thing?” from the Jewish World Review, Feb. 7, 2000

“There have been reports out for some time that yet another Hollywood entertainer is interested in Judaism. The newest one though is none other than Michael Jackson. This is the same Jackson who recorded a couple of years back a song featuring the words ”Kike Me, Jew Me,” which triggered a storm. At the time the head of the Anti-Defamation League, Abe Foxman, added Jackson to his list of Hollywood anti-Semites being granted papal absolution by Foxman, earning him his current nickname, the Twentieth Century Foxman.”

- Dr. Steven Plaut, “Michael Jackson’s Judaism. Kosher Corned Beef in Prison?” Chron Watch – Saturday, November 22, 2003

Below I have a quote from Michael’s rabbi, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, illustrating how the Rabbi was trying to influence Michael to make huge lifestyle changes.

“When I was close to Michael between 1999 and 2001, I tried to convey to him that famous or not, he must incorporate the basic ingredients of a healthy life, and that among these are time spent with family, involvement with a spiritual community, and being prepared to take criticism.

When he mentioned to me that his greatest wish was to promote the welfare of children, I told him he could only do so if he attained a modicum of credibility. This meant never being alone with children who were not his, meeting and learning from respected child-development and education experts, and speaking at serious rather than sensationalistic events.

I introduced him to Elie Wiesel, Shimon Peres, and Prof. Stanley Greenspan, one of America’s foremost child-rearing authorities. We lectured at Carnegie Hall and Oxford University. And when Martin Bashir’s people asked to do a documentary, I told Michael he’d be crazy to accept because the last thing he needed was to be more famous. He needed dignity rather than celebrity, and I advised him instead to accept an invitation to speak at Harvard.

But by this time my influence with Michael was waning. There was tension between us because of his resistance to making major modifications in his life that would have brought positive change, and rather than be supported, I was being undermined by managers and apparatchiks who accused me of diminishing his star power by making him too available. What really upset them was when I pushed Michael to publicly distribute books to poor children in Newark. I knew how much Michael loved children, so this puzzled me. But I was lectured to in Michael’s hotel suite by his manager who said, “Shmuley, you want to make Michael normal. What you don’t understand is that he’s famous because he’s not normal.”

- Something Jewish, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, “The tragedy of Michael Jackson”

What could make a gay or bi-sexual black man who converted to Judaism turn to the Nation of Islam so quickly and half-hazardly? Psychosis, desperation and the discovery of Zionism, perhaps?

What do we know?

We know that Michael Jackson was abused as a child by his father. Abused children who don’t seek the proper treatment and help usually become child abusers themselves.

We know that Michael has sexual identity issues. This is obvious.

We know that Michael did not have a happy childhood and was forced into a career at such a young age that he never had a childhood.

He has portrayed himself as a real-life Peter Pan, “The boy who never grew up” when in reality, Michael is a man who never had a childhood who surrounds himself with children. This would create in any person an inner struggle. He wants to be a child, but can not. Surrounding himself with children would only succeed in furthering frustrating him and fail in fulfilling his needs. Resentment would grow towards these children as he watches them enjoy their childhood playing with toys and riding the amusement park rides that he created for them at his Neverland ranch. He would covet what he saw. He would want what they have, childhood innocence and happiness which he craves so much. He might desire this so much that it pushes him to do things that his conscious tells him is wrong. It is a power struggle within and without. This is the psychosis that lurks behind acts such as rape, pedophilia and molestation.

Whether Michael wants to admit it or not. And remember, we do not know if he is guilty or innocent as of yet. But regardless, Michael Jackson, sadly, fits the psychological profile of a very unstable individual who very well could have done what he is accused of.

He seems to now, not only have fallen prey to his own mental illness, but has become easy prey for cultish mentality religious groups.

If Michael Jackson is guilty of molestation etc. I hope that he tells the truth about it, stops lying, comes to terms with whatever he has done what he has become and gets the help that he needs.

He is clearly a man in need of some serious psychiatric help. I don’t know that prison is the place for him, I am not a judge, but I do think that he definitely needs to be hospitalized for a very, very long time.
