Maybe he had the same reduction operation on his whanger that he did on his nose? In which case, perhaps he should have also had it bleached like he did his face . . .
As I am sure you realize, my irreverent post was tongue-in-cheek. That said, Michael Jackson claimed he had vitiligo, which does cause loss of skin pigmentation. He also was said to have lupus, which also can effect skin coloration. However, I don't buy either condition as the reason for Jackson's white skin for a minute. Vitiligo causes localized loss of skin discolaration, not uniform bleaching of the skin as we saw in Jackson. Lupus causes a skinlike rash and skin darkening, not whitening.
Vitiligo
Lupus
I am surprised Jackson didn't claim some rare disease or condition caused his nose to shrink too. He had enough money to buy plenty of media. Or would have if he hadn't had to pay off all the kids he molested. Great music, but one very, very sick puppy.
EDIT: And I agree with the info in Turiya's post - Jackson had a very troubled childhood. That ultimately led to a very twisted adulthood where Jackson lived in a childlike fantasy state. He may not even have been aware that what he did was wrong when it comes to the abuse. That does not make it right for the abused kids though. Or make him any less sick. Just perhaps a bit more understood, if one can understand such things as that.
Yes, I will admit that I was not there at MJ's fantasy world where he built all the amusement items for children and then had sleepovers with them. But children were there and were in bed with a physically mature MJ. No matter whether others may have taken the opportunity to blackmail and use him, no matter what his mental stare may have been or how innocent his intentions may or may not have been, a grown man should keep children that are not his own out of his bed and bedroom. That is not normal and is simply wrong. To paraphrase what I said earlier, extraordinary talent and extraordinary music but far from ordinary behavior.
Interpretations are subjective.
The fact of the matter, everyone has a bit of Illuminati within themselves. Everyone has a certain degree of cleverness. Everyone, to some degree, wants riches, power notoriety & fame. That’s why the general masses are so easily manipulated. Dangle the carrot, and the baser aspect of oneself, the jackass, will follow after it.
One can turn off their tv in an attempt to shut out the suggestive images. But this still does not turn off the inner mechanism that is goes on within oneself – the desires, the wanting to have things, the wanting to be a somebody. Turn off the sources of hypnosis - the tv, the radio, the films, movies and internet that are available, but one’s own self-hypnosis mechanism will continue. The only real way to be free of all of this so-called hypnosis conditioning is not by hiding oneself in a cave, but rather, through understanding – through close examination of one’s own subjective mind. Resolution and dissolution can be achieved through various methods of meditation – not by turning away from what your feel is over-powering and too controlling. But by confronting it. And the place to start is with oneself - because that is where the roots are.
Thinking that it is an ‘us’ versus ‘them’ thing is a misconception. One will continue only to delude themselves. One becomes more mired into the ‘good’ versus ‘evil’ dichotomy.
The fact of the matter is that Michael Jackson was abused at a young age by his authoritarian father. As a consequence, his heart reached out to others that are also being exploited & abused - and the most exploited group of people on this planet are the children of this world.
After the father was no longer permitted to be a part of Michael’s career, the mainstream media picked up where the father left off and laid further abuses upon him as they continued to exploit him for his expression of compassion for those that are vulnerable and the less fortunate. It is the ‘corporate’ mind set that is really the ‘they’ in the song ‘They Don't Really Care About US.’ Yes, you can say the Illuminati are those that are obsessed with this corporate mind-set. The 'Illuminati' is everywhere, including within oneself. Politicians are everywhere, including within oneself. That is why these people can be so easily replaced.
“Jackson had a troubled relationship with his father, Joe.[3][4][5] Joseph acknowledged in 2003 that he regularly whipped Jackson as a child.[5] Michael stated that he was physically and emotionally abused during incessant rehearsals, though also credited his father's strict discipline with playing a large role in his success.[3] Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, broadcast in February 1993. He admitted that he had often cried from loneliness and he would vomit on the sight of his father. Jackson's father was also said to have verbally abused Jackson, saying that he had a fat nose on numerous occasions.[6] In fact, Michael Jackson's deep dissatisfaction with his appearance, his nightmares and chronic sleep problems, his tendency to remain hyper-compliant especially with his father, and to remain child-like throughout his adult life are in many ways consistent with the effects of this chronic maltreatment he endured as a young child.[7]” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson
And its not about good vs evil. It's about awareness and freedom from influence. You are not interested in what has been written, otherwise, you would be able to see that I could not agree more with this - The only sin is unawareness. And the only virtue is being aware. Most think they are aware. But thinking about being aware, and actually being able to see with pristine clarity, are two remotely distant and distinct things from one another.
A prejudiced mind cannot see with clarity beyond his own predetermined conclusions. Pardon my being blunt, but this is why you have concluded on prejudiced note: I notice you spend much time in here identifying "them." Whatever it is that you think you have noticed about me is not what it is. On a countless number of previous occasions, you have consistently misunderstood, misquoted and mistaken what it is that I have said. This instant case is yet another example. This appears to be a habit of yours - an unconscious habit. All habits, whether good habits or bad, are due to being unaware.
Most are more concerned with pointing fingers at others to place blame, rather than accept responsibility for their own self created situations, rather than to look at themselves as a possible source of misdirection and misunderstanding. A so-called dark shadowy unidentifiable Illuminati "them" makes for an easy scapegoat for who and where trouble arises.Those in positions of accumulated wealth & power easily find their minions amidst the general masses because we have all been led to believe that having these things will lead to some sort of happiness that lies somewhere in the future.
On a certain level, we have all been supportive of the so-called Illuminati's cause. It is because we, more or less, want the same things. Michael Jackson's abusive father was typical of just another one of the general masses that are looking to accumulate riches, fame, notoriety and power over others. In other words, it could be said that Joseph Jackson was a member of the Illuminati (on a certain level) because of his obsessive drive to attain these delusions of grandeur for himself. He abused and exploited Michael along the way. Certainly Michael had to achieve a certain level of awareness in order to free himself from his father's influence. Then came the corporate news media. They were also shut out of Michael's private world. They reacted by helping to create and find stories from other members of the masses that want the same delusions of grandeur for themselves.
Everyone (whether they are aware of it or not) is a part of the Illuminati to some degree or another. That is why it appears that the Illuminati have soooooo many minions, so many people involved, on so many levels. Just about everyone has had visions of grandeur at some time in their lives. Coming out of the delusions is what awareness is about.
