'I'm better off dead. I'm done': How Michael Jackson predicted his death six months ago
The Daily Mail ^ | June 28, 2009 | Ian Halperin

Whatever the final autopsy results reveal, it was greed that killed Michael Jackson. Had he not been driven – by a cabal of bankers, agents, doctors and advisers – to commit to the gruelling 50 concerts in London’s O2 Arena, I believe he would still be alive today. During the last weeks and months of his life, Jackson made desperate attempts to prepare for the concert series scheduled for next month – a series that would have earned millions for the singer and his entourage, but which he could never have completed, not mentally, and not physically. Michael knew it and his advisers knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes and cosmetics would have understood that the London tour was madness. For Michael Jackson, it was fatal. I had more than a glimpse of the real Michael; as an award-winning freelance journalist and film-maker, I spent more than five years inside his ‘camp’. Many in his entourage spoke frankly to me – and that made it possible for me to write authoritatively last December that Michael had six months to live, a claim that, at the time, his official spokesman, Dr Tohme Tohme, called a ‘complete fabrication’. The singer, he told the world, was in ‘fine health’. Six months and one day later, Jackson was dead. Some liked to snigger at his public image, and it is true that flamboyant clothes and bizarre make-up made for a comic grotesque; yet without them, his appearance was distressing; with skin blemishes, thinning hair and discoloured fingernails. I had established beyond doubt, for example, that Jackson relied on an extensive collection of wigs to hide his greying hair. Shorn of their luxuriance, the Peter Pan of Neverland cut a skeletal figure.

Oh great here we go.

Greedy Conservatives killed Michael while he was trying to create a Climate Change song.

actually a good question, because Farrakan and NoI is also thisclose to Zero, having provided security for him and all And wasn’t it Rev NotWright that complained recently that Farrakan was on Zero’s speeddial and Wright wasn’t?

The whole family’s messed up. Google image Latoya Jackson and ask yourself where Michael got his “look” from.

I don’t think he grasped the quantity until it was too late. His players got him deep into this mess and expected millions to flow into his pot and out to them. Their priorities had nothing to do with him being capable to deliver a concert.

Fox is very sad right now. I have Greta on in the background and I am just cracking up over her histerics over Michael Jackson. I just can’t believe she is supposed to be a serious reporter.

Sounds like a typical drug overdose to a pop icon surrounded by a horde of money grubbing, enabling leeches. Anna Nichole Smith comes to mind as does Elvis and others. Happens a lot.

If you are going to OD Demerol is probably a pretty good way to go.

IMO, the MSM is missing this EXACT link! The timing was perfect for Zero.

Does anyone here remember the youtube where Louis Farrakhan had his Nation of Islam mezmerized when saying that Obama was the “one” they had been waiting for?????

IMO, there is something huge going on here...and it ain’t good!

I’m very curious to see what “claims” NoI will have against his estate.....

I also wonder who is going to get the pay-off from the insurance policies from the 50 concerts that are supposedly insured?

I have read over and over that MJ thought in the beginning that he was only going to do 10 concerts, who added the other 40? And WHY...knowing he could not fulfill that obligation! Who would gain from such a commitment?
