Michael Jackson – A message from the grave

June 25, 2009 “will go down in history” as the day an American icon breathed his last. As I watch the media regurgitate the news of Michael Jackson’s untimely, unfortunate and unnecessary death over and over again, with an occasional flash of Farah Fawcett’s suffering and death, it takes me back many years to a specialized forensic school where every day we were challenged to “profile” someone in the news. I can’t help but profile Michael and the personality that resulted in his death. At the same time I am quite sad; not just out of sympathy with the millions of mourners, but out of the depth of the real truth and the knowledge that, on a far less famous scale, millions will bury family and friends for the same reason. I feel a responsibility to share the truth, to give the uninformed a “heads up,” a “profile” of what killed Michael Jackson. Farah’s death is an entirely different story for an entirely different article but no less important, but Michael’s death may serve to save the lives of the millions who are on their way to join him in death. because his personality is the personality of many millions. Michael won’t give live concerts, but in death he may still be an icon anyway…

What really killed Michael Jackson?

The toxicology report isn’t in yet because Michael’s autopsy is being scheduled now, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is the knowledge that a human heart is designed to function well beyond 50 years unless impeded in some way. We know that Michael would have had the best of the best in modern healthcare and heart disease would have been known and taken care of. I suspect he has a long-term habit of over-medication, and outlining his reclusive personality corroborates that possibility in my mind. If this is found to be the case, which I suspect it will be, some “in the know” would say sure suicide, and while correct, many would not understand it. Some would say that Michael’s blood is in the hands of many personal and paid facilitators, and they would be right too. Others would say that it was modern medicine and pharmaceuticals, and still others would declare that society is to blame. Everything would be correct. Hoping to keep the message of Michael’s death from fading, providing an opportunity that I think he would seize if he could, to save millions of lives, his friends, family and maybe even his own, let me explain.

It all started many years ago, actually around the beginning of time. Man has eternally sought ways to escape his own mind, ways to depress anxiety and ways to lift from the depths of depression. Ways to achieve the balance between the extremism of the two. Throughout history, man has searched and experimented with alcohol and virtually all forms of substances in search of that one miraculous panacea to help him avoid the stresses of life; a way to “feel good”. We have witnessed an era in which thousands of people decided to “escape from reality” by sucking marijuana as a full-time occupation. We are now in an era where many turn to illicit drugs to get through the day. On the other side of this eternal search, we have witnessed the development of multiple models of mental health counseling, from Freud to fraud, which can all be the same, and through these many years and developments, we have not been able to find that panacea. .

The medical revolution of the 20th century ushered in a new hope and what many believed would be the “fix.” When valium appeared, it seemed like the answer to our eternal search, but the mind has a unique way of coming up with new symptoms in any attempt to avoid self-responsibility. From valium we have gone on to develop countless chemicals to sedate the mind, to block out the reality of our daily demons, to escape ourselves, our daily stressors, or our unhappy lives. I would like to say that believers in the Word are immune to this eternal search and intense need for a way to blunt reality, but sadly they suffer even greater stress for various reasons that are beyond the scope of this article to discuss. Suffice it to say that the Church is failing in its responsibility to teach the entire Word, and the congregation is not following the same instructions designed to keep them mentally sound. Both believers and non-believers experience the stress of being human.

I imagine we will find that Michael Jackson’s untimely death was ultimately fueled by his eternal search for a way to deal with chronic stress, his failure to take control of his own mind and allow logic to reign over emotion. You see that it is illogical (an emotional act) to abuse medication when the warnings are clear. Michael witnessed Anna Nicole Smith’s overdose death, was married to Elvis’s daughter, had knowledge and notice and ignored the warning. Maybe it was a death wish, maybe just an addiction which is my suspicion, but we’ll never really know the answer to that. He differs from Elvis, the king of rock, only in the fact that he lived 8 more years. While life for the average human being is stressful, being the “King” understandably adds a few degrees of stress. Michael woke up every morning and went to sleep every night a victim of his fame, and at great mental cost that led to his physical death. We witnessed in recent years his, through the child molestation trials and financial failure, the demise of Michael Jackson. We witnessed a complete transformation from the innocence of “I’ll Be There” to a figure we came to know as “Whacko Jacko”. His personal transformation from King of Pop to Whacko was undoubtedly the result of his emotional distress, perhaps his inability to find himself as an adult, but his death can be directly attributed to his inability to control that stress, and those which enabled it.

So who really killed Michael Jackson?

Returning for a moment to the first paragraph of this article, we discuss that man has searched for a magic pill to control stress since time immemorial. Though we have yet to find it, human greed combined with a true desire to advance medicine has provided a deadly cocktail for those who choose to use and abuse it, but the stress still lingers waiting for us to take responsibility, to face our demons. . First, it would put the blood of Michaels’ death on the “powers that be,” on the government and states that allowed drug companies to announce to an unwitting public that the latest dangerous chemical is the answer to all problems, and lavish rewards on doctors for prescribing them. This almighty dollar greed with carefully orchestrated advertising has turned the American people into a nation of Sheople, seeking medicine to solve all their problems, regardless of personal responsibility.

Then he would have to spill Michael’s blood on those who enabled him, they too acted out of greed. Highly paid medical “professionals” knew the dangers, knew right and wrong, but they didn’t just say no. Lastly, he would have to say that none of this would have mattered and that Michael would probably be alive today if he had taken it upon himself to handle his stress without chemicals.

Michael paid the ultimate price because the government chooses to ignore the millions who die from dangerous drugs, in favor of seeking those that offer natural solutions. He paid the ultimate price due to the greed of the pharmaceutical companies who work to convince dangerous drugs to be the first choice for all human ills, and due to the irresponsibility and greed of the enablers who no doubt paid dearly to help him. to commit suicide. . Michael’s death was by his own hand, facilitated by a very broken society.. Michael has been exonerated, he has paid the ultimate price for his irresponsibility. If we’re going to blame the facilitators for him, let’s do it fairly and press charges against all of the above.

And the Sheople will continue to perish

I offer these thoughts for the many millions who feel they cannot get through the day without drugs to assuage reality, and primarily for the few who might read and choose not to perish due to their own irresponsibility. As long as we remain a nation of followers, believing in science to rid ourselves of self-responsibility, we will continue to perish needlessly. The medication promised to set us free only dilates brains, suppresses logic, and turns the masses into a writhing, writhing mass of emotions, a volatile recipe for disaster. Half our cars are driven by medicated drivers and we have road rage, we have adults entering schools killing innocents. Half our families are on drugs and we have massive family dysfunction, making dysfunctional kids a dysfunctional drug world. For believers, we see in Genesis what happens when we subrogate logic to emotion; It was certainly not a logical act that started the downward spiral that we find humanity in today, and it is the failure to walk in logic that continues to destroy millions. It is not logical to strap a bomb to a child and send him out into a mob to die, it is not logical to believe that this is what God wants for the children he created. Remember Michael, and remember the dangers that lurk beneath high-priced pharmaceutical ads, these chemicals do little more than destroy logic. If you’re one of the millions crying one minute and a raving lunatic the next, change your diet, stop using sugar-free chemicals and processed junk, and eat healthy, natural foods. Your hormones will balance as well as your temperament. Help your loved ones seek help to deal with stress and get rid of daily medications. Stop setting a medicated example for your children and teach them logic and self-responsibility, because you are putting them on the path for the rest of their lives. Find safe and natural methods to deal with your stress before it gives you the last hand. Remember that stress is a “state of mind” and you can change that state, or you can allow it to consume you, that is a choice. Remember that your past does not dictate your future, how you handled the stress of life yesterday does not dictate how you will deal with it tomorrow. Keep in mind that while chemicals can be helpful on occasion, long term use is what happened to Michael and don’t let that happen to you. If you’re in chronic pain and you weren’t “hit by a truck” it’s probably just stress and it’s probably in your best interest to stay away from the doctor who only has medication to offer. Let logic reign, if you can’t avoid the influence of clever TV ads that promise to eliminate all your problems, leave the fool out the back door and pick up a good book on nutrition, better yet pick up a Bible and look up instructions. ..

Remember Michael, he passed on from us leaving only his music, or in his death he can continue to be an icon to free millions of people from drug ads and resulting drug dependency. What will he be for you?
