Hello John,

>LL>"I fell it was all about money.  Michael was worth well over
>LL>a billion in music publishing assets and somebody killed him for
>LL>that.  he was worth more dead than alive." - LaToya Jackson

>LL>Is it true?  Was Michael Jackson murdered?

JO>Yep

Finally!  Somebody has been convinced a conspiracy theory is fact
rather than fiction!

>LL>If so, who murdered him, and why?

JO>his old man.

Stands to reason, given the massive fortune in music publishing
assets MJ left behind.  In his will, MJ stated the fortune he
left behind was intended for his mom.  But his pop knew better.

JO>and cronies...

I can see cronies wanting to manipulate him to get what they
wanted.  But why would cronies have wanted him dead?  Was MJ
worth more dead than alive?  Probably.  But through his will,
MJ left his fortune to his family, excluding his ex-wife
Debbie Rowe, and not even mentioning the surrogate mother
of his third child.

JO>gonna make a mint with "The Jackson Three" on tour...

MJ left "The Jackson Three" in care of Mommy Dearest.

JO>Wants to be in charge of the kids also...

If MJ's mom doesn't want them, Diana Ross will gladly take them in.

>LL>LaToya Jackson claims he was murdered by a group of conspirators
>LL>trying to get hold of his fortune.  She says she knows who is
>LL>responsible for having murdered her brother and is determined to
>LL>bring them to justice.

JO>The old man has already been identified...

So that's why Papa Jackson was being so friendly with Rev. Jesse
Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton.  Papa Jackson knew better than to mess
with two men of the cloth...

>LL>According to her, the conpirators used powerful prescription drugs
>LL>to keep him submissive and under control.

JO>Pretty self- propelled...

Had to keep that old motor running...

>LL>she claims that some $2 million worth of cash and jewelry was
>LL>taken from Michael Jackson's rented mansion...

JO>Only 2 mil?

That's as high as she was able to count.

>LL>She says she knows her brother did not want to perform the 50
>LL>London shows he had agreed to, but that he was pressured into that
>LL>agreement.

JO>I think that is true.

The best musician is a lazy musician.  And MJ was no dummy.
Which is why he had not performed a concert in years.  More
fun to play with kids at Neverland...

>LL>British Sunday newspapers, The News of the World and The Mail.
>LL>And who do you choose to believe?

JO>A proto-crawfish-fancier...,
JO>jw

Crawfish in the Thames?  Years ago one of my friends moved to
London.  She went an entire two years without crawfish.  Drove her
crazy. The only thing that saved her was excusing herself from work
for two weeks in order to attend Mardi Gras back home.  Went straight
to Boudreau and Thibodeau's.  Never saw a woman eat so much crawfish
in one sitting in all my life.  An entire table big enough to seat
twelve people, covered with empty crawfish shells...
