GIVE ME THE MONEY! Family member hunts for cash hours after Michael Jackson's death
News of the World ^ | June 28, 2009 | Amanda Evans and Carole Aye Maung

Posted on 06/28/2009 4:16:25 AM PDT by Loyalist

JACKO'S nanny told how she was stunned by his family's money-grabbing reaction to the star's death.

Grace Rwaramba, the woman closest to Jackson and his three children, was in London when news of the tragedy broke on Thursday.

As she prepared to board a plane to fly home and comfort the orphaned kids Grace got the call from one of the Jackson family which shocked her to the core.

She told interviewer Daphne Barak: "The relative said, 'Grace, you remember Michael used to hide cash at the house? I'm here. Where can it be?'

"I told them to look in the garbage bags and under the carpets. But can you believe that? They just lost Michael a few hours ago and already one of them is calling me to know where the money is!

KEYWORDS: greed; jackson; michaeljackson; nationofislam; perverts; rwaramba
News of the World is probably Britain's sleaziest tabloid, but it gets the story like no other tabloid in Britain (usually with generous payments to its sources).

Some more interesting excerpts:

"Grace also said Jackson had permitted the black religious movement the Nation of Islam to exert an influence over him and his children. "

"Grace told how Jacko had so little understanding of financial matters that cash had to be paid into HER bank account, then drawn out and given to him like pocket money."

"The Nation of Islam was telling him that the house we had in Los Angeles, after Neverland was sold, cost £60,750 a month. But I checked with many real estate agencies. To rent this house should not have cost more than £12,000-15,000."

Flat broke and ripped off by the Nation of Islam? Maybe it was a mercy that he died this way!

Ahhh. The Nation of Islam, a fine organisation that has kept the Rev. Farrakhan living in a style that he has become accustomed to for oh so many years.

Why work for a living when others will do your bidding and all you have to do is feed them a line of crap.

How many preachers have lived high off the hog for so long feeding their p[eople this garbage.

Farrakhan, Sharpton, Jackson, the Bakers, Jimmy Swaggart, a truly bi-racial con game.

The guy made over a billion dollars in his career...and spent 1.4 billion of that.

With just the ownership of the songs....he was pulling in $30 million a year easily...and most people can live easily off that....he couldn’t.

No, I can't believe it. You should have told them to go pound sand.

She should have told them to go look in the septic tank, where the uncut diamonds were hidden.

I'm sure there's plenty of money stashed or already given away. No one in that family is struggling...and living in a Mansion with servants is not a sign of being "poor"....We're not stupid!!

He was a wasteful, messed up piece of cr**.

I'm beginning to wonder if someone decided that Jackson was worth more dead than alive.

The Bakers and Swaggart did not preach racism as their main course.

The blacks you mention; farakhan, sharpton, and jackasson are pure racist in their ideology and teachings. They deserve to be victims of something really horrible. PS, it is too bad that farakhan took white man’s medicine to be treated for his colon cancer.

The death tax of the federal and state governments forces many people to do things like this. The taxers will descend on Jackson’s residence and make a note of everything. The IRS will then tax it to death.

Mean petty vicious liberals call it the inheritance tax. It is really the death tax. The IRS taxes you whenever you earn it. Then when you die, they tax it again.

From; Mew's article. File this under black muslin and see if we can find further links to Rezko/Obama. Is the Dr that was with him at death also a member of this group?

...snip....
These, after all, were not the handlers who had seen him through the aftermath of the Arvizo trial and who had been protecting his fragile emotional health to the best of their ability. They were gone, and a new set of advisers was in place.
The clearout had apparently been engineered by his children’s nanny, Grace Rwaramba, who was gaining considerable influence over Jackson and his affairs and has been described as the ‘queen bee’ by those around Jackson.
Rwaramba had ties to the black militant organisation, the Nation of Islam, and its controversial leader, Louis Farrakhan, whom she enlisted for help in running Jackson’s affairs.
Before long, the Nation was supplying Jackson’s security detail and Farrakhan’s son-in-law, Leonard Muhammad, was appointed as Jackson’s business manager, though his role has lessened significantly in recent years.
In late 2008, a shadowy figure who called himself Dr Tohme Tohme suddenly emerged as Jackson’s ‘official spokesman’. Tohme has been alternately described as a Saudi Arabian billionaire and an orthopaedic surgeon, but he is actually a Lebanese businessman who does not have a medical licence. At one point, Tohme claimed he was an ambassador at large for Senegal, but the Senegalese embassy said they had never heard of him.

This is really getting interesting. From the LAT, FWIW. Now the Lebanese doctor dude is a business manager, not Jackson's physician...

Don’t think any of these mentioned used the threats of ‘blood-shed’ to insure their next payment, however; as did apparently; Nation of Islam.

Doctor-turned-businessman Dr Tohme says he is a qualified orthopaedic surgeon from Saudi Arabia. He met Jackson when the singer was defaulting on a £10million loan. They were introduced by Jermaine. Dr Tohme promised that he could refinance Jackson’s spiralling £100million debt and quickly became his manager and confidant.

Dr Tohme brokered a deal between Jackson and Colony Capital, a private-equity firm run by billionaire Tom Barrack Jr. Philip Anschutz, owner of AEG Live, the US entertainment giant which went on to handle the final tour, then received a call from Mr Barrack, his friend. Randy Phillips, AEG chief executive, said: “I got a call from Dr Tohme, who said Michael was in bad financial straits.” Last December, Mr Phillips presented Dr Tohme with his vision. “Phase one would be 10 shows at the O2,” he said.

But as the pressure of what had grown to 50 shows mounted, it would appear that Dr Tohme - the very man who had “saved” him from financial ruin - was no longer welcome in Jackson’s life.

Simpson Talk Is New L.A. Industry
Newsday (Melville, NY) - Friday, July 1, 1994
Author: Jim Dwyer
1/2Los Angeles

I SOLD MR. O.J. a 15-inch knife, the knife-store clerk was explaining, then I sold my story to the National Enquirer for $12,500. His two bosses each grabbed a cut of the money.

The Simpson murder has had tremendous impact on market conditions in and around Los Angeles for gossip. The prosecutor, Clark, said last night that her witnesses were perfectly honest, no matter how much they got paid, because the media only wanted to hear the exact truth.

Doesn’t she think that for double the money, the sales clerk at least might have said that Mr. O.J. had asked for a knife that would be good for cutting off someone’s head? Certainly, if it were my money on the table, I would expect something a little special. At this news outfit, though, we don’t pay for information and so are reduced to begging.

But if this court hearing goes on much longer, the market for Simpson information may crash, and fast. Court papers that came out yesterday claimed that someone left blood in Simpson’s Bronco, along his driveway, on his doorstep, in his foyer and in the bathroom. The word for this is a “trail.” And it’s not one that was created by an open and free market in evidence-mongering.

Last-second deals still are being cut all over Los Angeles. Yesterday afternoon, Dr. of Bristol Circle in Brentwood had his plastic garbage cans confiscated by the police department. He lives next door to a vacant lot owned by another doctor, and which is worth $2 million. The police spent the afternoon in the lot with metal detectors. They left with two brown paper bags, contents unknown, and Dr. Tohme Tohme ‘s barrels. They are still looking for the knife that Mr. O.J. bought for $74 plus tax.

“They told me that they’re going to look around. They took all the trash cans,” said Dr. Tohme Tohme .

He didn’t look too upset. A man from “A Current Affair” had knocked on the door and asked if there was a good place to film the search of the vacant lot. After a brief discussion, it appeared that the good neighbor found the camera man an excellent vantage point.

“An all-cash deal,” said the camera man. “Believe me, he got more than enough to replace his garbage cans.”

He was only a co-owner with Sony and he was in debt to Sony. Sony could have crushed him long ago, but feared a backlash.

ha, ha, that’s good. There have been quite a few good MJ jokes floating about, but none of them are suitable for leaving as comments on FR. Everyone knows he was a child molester.

How good of a nanny was this woman if she was in London and the kids weren’t? Who was supposedly taking care of them? I feel sorry for these kids. I’m sure they are already messed up psychologically.

Not wanting to paint with a excessively broad brush, but few if any blacks fall far from the tree of greed or self-centeredness. My references are more directed to those that “are in yo face”. It is puzzling why so many of them seem like the Nigerian email scammers and even worse is they see their brothers and sisters as the easiest prey of all on small or grand scale. Their culture seems to glorify aggression toward the weak and unprotected, whether in Africa or elsewhere.
