The truth will prevail.

It's time to end years of media manipulation, deception, and public ignorance. It's time for the truth to finally be told. It's time to fight ignorance with education, facts, and knowledge.

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance."- Albert Einstein

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Michael Jackson was destroyed like no other person in our times. You have to remember that Michael Jackson was innocent. He was proved innocent in our courts. If you read the transcripts of the trial it is insanity, it should never have gone to court. We spent tens of millions of dollars to prosecute him when we don't have money for schools in California. "--
David LaChapelle

-The American Public Must Demand Honest Journalism
By Forbes Everett Landis

One of the Most Shameful Episodes In Journalistic History
By Charles Thomson

It was five years ago today that twelve jurors unanimously acquitted Michael Jackson on various charges of child molestation, conspiracy and providing alcohol to a minor. It is difficult to know how history will remember the Michael Jackson trial. Perhaps as the epitome of western celebrity obsession. Perhaps as a 21st century lynching. Personally, I think it will be remembered as one of the most shameful episodes in journalistic history.

In Michael Jackson's passing, this international icon casts as many if not more unanswered questions about the out of the ordinary life he led behind the curtain of his private stage.

Vitiligo, Lupus and Michael Jackson

In 1986 Michael Jackson was diagnosed with Vitiligo and Lupus. Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. Lupus is an auto-immune and inflammatory disease which attacks healthy cells, tissues and organs and can be fatal. In the 1993 Oprah Winfrey interview with Jackson he finally admitted to having this illness to debunk the 'skin bleaching' rumors.
Vitiligo is associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases like Lupus and Addison's. Although it seemed odd years ago, Michael wearing a mask was wise. He came into contact with millions of people, each one a risk to his health when living with Lupus.

Thoughts About Michael Jackson:

"I think he was an angel that was sent to us, and I think that we might have to reflect on how well we took care of him. Michael Jackson was a gift to us and you know, I'm concerned that the good Lord may not send another one because maybe we didn't take good care of him."
-Wesley Snipes
