	Jackson is like Gandhi, claims brother! Asian News International WASHINGTON, November 27

	Enlarge

Jermaine Jackson has lent support to tainted brother Michael Jackson and said that he has been victimized.

"This is a modern-day lynching. My brother has become a threat like Christ became a threat, like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi became a threat. My brother's consciousness has become a threat because he is a person who cares about people," Jermaine was quoted as saying in an interview to 'The Mirror'.

His is one of the voices that used to croon with Michael's in the heyday of The Jackson 5, when the brothers - Michael, the youngest and Jermaine, the fourth child of seven - harmonised together.

Jermaine is voicing concerns about his brother's integrity and believes that he is innocent.

"My brother is innocent. We are behind him 1,000 per cent," Jermaine said, addressing charges that Jackson sexually abused 12-year-old *******.

Apparently, he has spoken to his brother every day since Michael, who has been bailed for 1million dollars, was arrested for oral sex, mutual masturbation and inappropriate sexual touching.

Now his father Joe, his sisters Janet and La Toya and his brothers Tito, Jackie and Marlon, are joining forces.

"This is a family who grew up in a house no bigger than a two-car garage. The love is there," he said.

Jermaine denies his brother's fragility might lead him to suicide as his fans fear and feels that he will be able to come out of it unscathed.

British radio channels ban Jacko

Following the levelling of child molestation charges against him, pop superstar Michael Jackson's new single "One More Chance" has been banned by as many as 19 British radio stations.

According to rate the music.com, BBC's leading radio channel BBC Radio One has stopped playing Jackson's new track.

However, BBC TV chart show "Top Of The Pops" will still broadcast Jackson's video when it airs on November 28, said the website.

Currently, Jackson is out on bail after being arrested and charged with molesting 12-year-old ******* last week.

There appeared more than one reason for banning the pop stars video. A "Radio One" spokesperson on Wednesday maintained that the move was based on music.

"Jackson's not as relevant to our young audience as he once was. It is not about his personal life," she said.

But other UK stations were quite straightforward in mentioning that they had banned his music because of the scandal.

Media company EMAP spokesperson said:"We have had some complaints, so we have decided to take him off air."

EMAP owns 18 regional stations nationwide.

"This is a modern-day lynching. My brother has become a threat like Christ became a threat, like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi became a threat. My brother's consciousness has become a threat because he is a person who cares about people," Jermaine was quoted as saying in an interview to 'The Mirror'.

Well, here's where this comparison is going...

About Gandhi and his sexuality, we have to consult history. At 37, he took a vow of sexual abstinence because 21 years earlier, his father passed away in his house while Gandhi was making love to his wife in another room. That memory always tormented Gandhi. The fact that a bout of lust had kept him away from his father in his dying moments. So he spent his life trying to conquer his sexual urge. The perfect Brahmachari in Gandhi's mind was a man who could 'lie by the side even of a Venus in all her naked beauty without being physically or mentally disturbed'.

For years after taking his vow, Gandhi experimented with different diets, looking for one which would have the slightest possible impact on his sexual organs. "While thousands of Indians sought out exotic foods to stimulate their desire, Gandhi spurned in turn, spices, green vegetables, certain fruits, in his efforts to stifle his," wrote Lapierre and Collins in Freedom at Midnight.

But at the age of 67, Gandhi got a shock one night when he woke up sexually aroused. He was so anguished by 'this frightful experience' that he swore a vow of total silence for six weeks. To master his desires, he gradually extended the range of physical contact he allowed himself with women. He nursed them when they were ill and allowed them to nurse him. He took his bath in full view of his fellow ashramites, male and female. He had his daily massage virtually naked, with young girls most frequently serving as his masseuses. He often gave interviews or consulted the leaders of the Congress Party while the girls massaged him. He wore few clothes and urged his disciples, male and female, to do likewise because clothes, he said, only encouraged a false sense of modesty.
The Mahatma and his 'girls'
Free Press Journal | 12 January 1997

He defended the practice by declaring that one cannot overcome a desire by avoiding it, but by facing it on a daily basis.

'I hope you will acquit me of having any lustful designs upon the women or girls who have been naked with me.' said the Mahatma.

'The perfect Brahmachari' he said, 'was a man who could lie by the side of Venus in all her naked beauty without being physically or mentally disturbed.'
A View On Nude Life - Mahatma Gandhi

As it was, he sewed dissent wherever he went. His last years were more controversial that his early ones. Each night he slept naked between two young girls to prove his sanctity. Whatever it was, it was scandal-inducing, even --- some might say --- a consciously divisive act of showoff. "Here I am," he was saying, "a seventy-nine-year-old proving (1) I can find naked girls willing to sleep in the same bed with me --- tended by my wife, no less; and (2) Just to show who's boss, there will be no fiddling around, not even wet dreams." It might have been better for all of us for him to have kept these I'm-a-master-of-my-own-soul celibacy experiments a secret from the world.
Gandhi The Man The Story of His Transformation
Eknath Easwaran

Gandhi was married at age 13 to a girl about his own age and at age 37 took a vow of sexual abstinence. In spite of this vow, he found a need to fondle prepubescent and early adolescent girls. He took such girls to bed with him to overcome, he said, his "shivering fits" in the night. His female companions, who came from his inner circle - all certified virgins or young brides - entered his bed naked in order to warm him with their bodies. Some of them also administered enemas to him. Among the young girls, there was rivalry as to who would sleep with him, and one of his girl disciples reported that his bed companions had a difficult time in restraining their sexual impulses since he often rubbed against them and touched them in erotic places. Although his closemouthed house guardians were fearful of public reaction if news of these "pedophilic" sexual interactions were publicized, Gandhi continued to engage in them until his death. Gandhi did not have sexual intercourse with them, but obviously the touching and feeling were very important to him. If he had lived in the United States, he would have been sentenced as a child molester (Bullough, 1981).

FYI

[John Beresford Tipton]

The only way he might be like Ghandi
is if he also drinks his own piss.

[RichInOC]

The Mahatma preferred girls, not boys.

Thank you and good night, Jermaine...NEEEEEEEEEEXT?

[Cicero]

Humm. Things we weren't told about Gandhi when we were in school.

[CindyDawg]

Would you look at this picture and my #16 and 21 posts and see if the picture seems different to you?http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1030083/posts

So you are saying this is not germane?

[Wumpus Hunter]

Ghandi liked to go everywhere in his bare feet, eventually developing gigantic calluses. Because of his wierd diet, he was extremly small, had a terrible teeth, and always had bad breath.

He became known as .....

(insert rim shot)

A super callused fragile mystic, cursed with halitosis.

My brother has become a threat

Jermaine should've quit while he was ahead.

[Great Dane]

Don't see why they would ban his music, he has not been found guilty.... yet.

[TheCrusader]

Ghandi wore a diaper but I don't think he grabbed his crotch in public, did he?

[Waco]

Like Gandhi? Stinks that bad, huh.

[tessalu]

Oh my! We did not know that Ghandi was into perversion too.

[Mike Darancette]

Two things are very bad for a "Man's" reputation either to be found in bed with a dead woman or a live boy. Jackson prefers the latter.

[John Beresford Tipton]

Gandhi thought it was healthful, and seeing as how he lived to age 79 in that sh*thole of India who's to say it isn't?

Nevertheless, I'll stick to drinking beer that only *looks* like piss.

[MattAMiller]

Urine drinking is common in India. It's believed among some to be very healthy. Indians often are kind of weird about their elimination in general, it's also common to be very concerned about the shape and color of one's bowel movements.

Neither thing applicable in Massachusetts, as evidenced by Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank.
