Maybe this explains the interesting links between Michael Jackson and the Church of Scientology -- their willingness to intimidate critics into silence:

I can't say for sure whether this is related - and I'm certainly not accusing anyone of a crime - but I had an interesting thing happen to me shortly after I broke the first story about the obsession Jackson had with a young boy he had taken to Europe (along with the boy's 5-year-old sister and mother).

I found two guys outside my apartment door - on ladders. They had removed the plastic molding over my door and were fiddling with wires.

I just happened to be home sick that day, and I confronted them. They said they were checking my cable. Great - except I didn't have cable. I called the doormen, but these two clowns disappeared faster than a David Blaine act.

My phone got weird - clicks, clacks, picking up stray conversations. The phone company couldn't figure out if it was bugged. Then I started getting threatening calls - at home and at work.

I didn't connect any of this to any of that until recently, when stories started breaking faster than eggs on Halloween about Pellicano and allegations that he'd been wiretapping the enemies of his clients for years.

Meantime, the man who had accused Jackson 10 years ago of molesting his child had been haunted, too. Some say almost destroyed.

Wow, that's a great story. Michael Jackson is a total freak. The pedophile stories are persistent, although I couldn't say for sure if they are true or not. Still, where there's smoke...? Not always of course, but I have to wonder.

But even beyond that, the transformation from a black man into a white woman is truly frightening. At the very least he seems to have a serious self hatred going on. (Sorry, I don't buy the "vitiligo story - there is dark-skinned makeup out there, especially for millionaires who can afford it.)

You know, to be honest it annoys me just a tad when people pick on Michael Jackson for being odd and freaky. I mean, I don't care for him as an entertainer and never have, but what he does with his body is his business.

And as someone who most of society would consider freaky myself, I don't see how any good come from pointing and calling him names.

Now... none of that affects my perception that something definitely seems 'off' with him. I just don't think it's a laughing matter.

And, that's not to say I will have any sympathy for him if these allegations turn out to be true.

I was actually a fan a long time ago, during the "Beat It" era.

It isn't just the odd and freaky - he lies about it. I mean, if he admitted he is trying to look like a white woman I would say, okay, this is a body mod thing. But he tries to get sympathy for it instead. But hey - I pick on all sorts of people, you should know this by now :P

Yeah, something is definitely off with him.

I don't care if he's eccentric, and I only partly care that he lies about it. That certainly makes me lose all respect for him. What really gets me is when people with money (and fame) think they can get away with anything they want. I suspect he has gotten away with harming children in the guise of being their friend for quite some time.

I wonder if they'll do any kind of exams on his own children.

In some cases, I believe, vitiglio will eventually progress to remove all pigment from the body, so at that point it's not just a patch job with makeup.
