[size=15pt]Did Martin Bashir Kill Michael Jackson?[/size]


A British journalist paid tribute to Michael Jackson:
“I think the world has now lost the greatest entertainer it’s probably ever known. It is very sad.”

But in 2003, that same man, Martin Bashir, conducted a series of interviews with the world acclaimed King of Pop, who had then become embroiled in scandal, centering around child molestation claims that dated back to 1993. It was good friend and spoon bender, Uri Geller, who recommended the iconic pop star to the ITV journalist. Bashir proposed that “nothing be off-limits” in this investigation, a proposal that was accepted by Jackson. Little was known that this documentary would soon cause further scrutiny towards ‘Wacko Jacko’, a name that to some, represents the agonizing final part of his life. Geller considers the recommendation now as a ‘betrayal’, as Bashir’s cunning deception “deeply upset” the pop star. Perhaps one could even go as far as to suggesting that Martin Bashir was the epitome of canny, machiavellian men that played a part in Michael’s downfall, and eventual death. The first and final parts of the documentary are still able to be viewed on YouTube, with ITV Productions Limited making copyright claims for the rest of the show. Even in these short clips, Bashir’s heartless and ruthless attitude to journalism and sensationalism is revealed, at the expense of the reputation of a man who is labelled, by the man himself, the “greatest entertainer”. And watching the first part of this ITV program, watched by over 15 million viewers in Britain alone, shows Bashir embracing all that Jackson should be remembered for. One wonders then why Bashir had to bring up and prioritize upon Jackson’s child molestation claims, in an attempt to show the troubled pop star in a damaging light. “They’re judging someone that wants to really help people” was one of Jackson’s more effective responses, and to me, it really helps justify his actions. Bashir did well to ignore these words, and continue with what can only be described as badger baiting. One must take into consideration – this is a man whose only life has been in show-business. But that is not the main reason why Bashir’s interview is unforgivable. Watching the last part of the documentary is especially moving, as the ‘King of Pop’ has to explain himself regarding Bashir’s awkward questioning on Jackson’s children. Pleading that ‘love’ is being lost in the world, and his emotion perhaps cites his own childhood woes. It puts clearly into perspective, for anyone with a heart softer than a stone, the reasons for Michael Jackson’s special relationship with children. So, is this what eventually killed him?. A constant loss of trust that disillusioned Jackson with anyone close-by. A source agrees with this statement, which was in the press on Saturday:

“He felt very alone. Michael had no close friends around him and he always harbored miserable feelings with his father. He was always sad that his family was not with him. “If there wasn’t a doctor with him, or a security team, then it was managers or a lawyer or a publicist. He was never alone. He surrounded himself with people who used him, and he was terribly paranoid about people using him, so he fired staff constantly. It was just nonstop people in and out of his life. “He loved making music or just singing old songs. Music allowed him temporary peace when he went into his studio. He would relax and open up more.”It is still, to me, a shame that Jackson’s emotional attachment with something he was never able to have is viewed as something strange and twisted. And I hope the King of Pop, who died on Thursday, will always be remembered as the King of Pop.

Yes he did kill him indirectly because it was after this incident that he started taking pain killers to relieve the pain and stress, He has since come forward claiming MJ did noting wrong, He is 6years too late though,

Apperently he has brain tumour now, The kid that wrongly accused MJ of child abuse has come forward saying his dad put him up to it, All of them are confessing now and Karma will be hitting them one by one,
