TAKE ME TO SOUTH AMERICA
Sunday Mirror ^ | 2003-11-23 | Stephen Martin

UNHINGED Michael Jackson went into mid-air meltdown and tried to flee America as he flew home to be arrested and handcuffed.

The singer, sedated by doctors but gripped by panic at child sex charges, demanded to be flown to a South America bolt-hole.

Trembling and swaying, he ordered aides to change his plane's flight path and spring him to a haven beyond the reach of US law.

But flunkies refused for fear that US air control would force the 87-TD private jet down for an emergency landing by knocking out its satellite navigation systems. And they insisted Jackson - accused of sex offences against 12-year-old cancer victim Gavin Arvizo - should give himself up.

Muttering to himself and screaming "it's not fair", Jackson spent the journey rocking backwards and forwards in his seat.

The star's deranged antics on the jet from Las Vegas to California shocked even those used to his odd behaviour.

At first he refused to board the plane taking him to Santa Barbara for a showdown with District Attorney Tom Sneddon. A witness said: "His people almost dragged him on in the end. He was shaking and in a state of near hysteria."

Once aboard, father-of-three Jackson demanded the pilot change routes and take him and his children to South America. The witness said: "Jackson was adamant he was going to do a runner because he was so nervous. But his attorneys managed to talk him out of it. There was a lot of shouting. They told him the authorities would jam the guidance systems on the plane.

"They said the plane would be forced into an emergency landing.

"Even if he did succeed in leaving the country, he would be extradited back to the United States.

"Jacko was sitting in his chair rocking backwards and forwards chattering to himself with his head in his hands. He was a total basket case."

The source went on: "A man in a suit, carrying a medical bag was walking alongside Jacko when he finally got on the plane. Then Jackson demanded that they have Kentucky Fried Chicken delivered to the plane before he would agree to take off."

Jackson was put in his seat, flanked by two bodyguards. Then he was given an injection to calm him down.

"Even the sedatives didn't help much," said the source. "He repeatedly squealed, 'Why, why, why are they doing this to me?' He was totally agitated, sweating, his hair covering his face and he wrung his hands incessantly. He looked like he was doing the Moonwalk while sitting down"

Jackson was on board the plane with his children, Prince Michael, six, Paris, five, and toddler Prince Michael II.

Earlier, there had been more oddball antics as Jackson prepared to leave the Green Valley Ranch, a luxury Vegas resort where he had been staying while filming a new video.

The source said: "Jackson's handlers noticed he was missing and when they went searching, they found him outside the private bungalow. When asked what he was doing, he said that he saw a field mouse and wanted to play with it, but was unable to find it."

On Friday, Jackson returned to Vegas after being released on bail of £2million. On the flight back, Jackson was calmer and told the crew he was relieved he was not remanded in custody and didn't have to go to jail. But he refused to communicate with the doctor who had sedated him on the outward journey.

The source said: "Jackson just sat there, rubbing his wrists where the handcuffs had been."

I posted another artcle, Jackson's explicit letters seized. It specificially mentions this:

Charges of aiding and abetting are likely to be filed against members of Jackson's entourage.

Michael Jackson will kill himself within the next three years, if the legal case is as strong as I beleve it to be.

He suffers severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder (an "I am above you stupid little laws" attitude), Body Dysmorphic Disorder ("I need another plastic surgery," that has rendered hin without a nose) and (of course) Pedophilia.

His money is gone. He is $200 million in debt. The case this time is strong against him, even worse if they have Pellicano tapes of witness intimidation and illegal wiretaps. He will never allow himself to go to prison.

He will instead become increasingly psychotic. He will ultimately choose to go to that big "Neverland" in the sky.

Some TV program last night about Jackson had pictures of his 3 little kids. They all appear to be tow heads, blond hair and white skins. Jackson's genes are black. Are they really his children?

At first glance, such eyewitness accounts are intriguing. But upon closer examination, it's evident that something fishy is going on. The article appears in a UK news sheet. The quoted portion uses the phrase, do a runner, which appears to be British slang - it's certainly not a common American expression. So, was the alleged eyewitness a Brit? (In which case, it might be an easy task to identify him or her - how many people were in his entourage on the jet, and of those, how many are Brits?). Or, much more likely, the article and the alleged quote are complete fabrications.

Why do the names "George" and "Lenny" come to mind?

Possible. Even originally, MJ was obviously not of pure African ancestry. Both women were blondes.

But I would be surprised if DNA didn't show that he isn't the father.

something fishy ... British slang

"A visibly gobsmacked Jackson, accompanied by his solicitor and Harley Street physician, agreed to board the Vickers Viscount only after he was fetched some shepherd's pie."

AGREED! And that includes the mother.

I heard that somebody called the mother a "crack whore" who had been making threats if she didn't get some money. If all of these charges turn out to be true, which I believe they will, then this "mother" should be prosecuted even heavier than Michael Jackson for pimping out her own little boy. No way that she could not have known if something was going on or not. No way!

Crack addicts are known for their scheming games, and there's just about nothing lower than a crack whore. She had it all planned out from the beginning, IMO. The fact that she "just happened" to get the same attorney as the first case proves to me in my own mind that she is guilty of using her own child to bilk a Jackson out of his money. Whether Jackson is successfully prosecuted or not, I believe that woman is guilty of premeditated blackmail and child abuse. She should go to prison for many, many years!

Some FReepers are complaing that tabloid journalism has no place on this forum. However, by allowing the liberals to continue unscathed, our country will sink further into slime of its own making. We need to use these stories to pressure our politicians to reverse our moral decline. Otherwise, like some people are warning ... The Jacksons of this world will be given full and legal reign over not only our children's lives, but our own.

That's a load of crap. There is no evidence that Jacko is guilty. I see this as another attempt by a money grubbing woman who will use her kid in an attempt to extort money from a man who has shown her nothing but kindness.

FREE JACKO

Will he be fisted as well?
