Michael Jackson is a spook working for Dick Cheney

[DuctapeFatwa]

How else to explain last Thursday's orgy of Michael Jackson coverage on CNN — hours of choppercam shots of airport runways and police station parking lots — on the day that Bush was being trashed in effigy in London, 27 people were killed and 400 injured by truck bombs in Turkey, a U.S.-Canada task force report on the causes of August's massive blackout was released and who knows how many U.S. troops were becoming casualties in Iraq?

Was CNN merely pandering to the stupid for commercial reasons — or deliberately avoiding the news? Has last spring's "That's Mili-tainment!'' revue reverted to "That's Info-tainment!'' Have the networks run so far from serious reportage on domestic, economic and international affairs that they no longer know how to do anything but scandal? Or — and here comes my conspiracy theory — is there something else afoot, and people are too catatonic to recognize it?

Consider that, still, most Americans are convinced that Saddam's boys rammed those planes into the towers....

Deadline Iraq offers little news to the most addicted news junkies. At least not those in Canada. In the U.S., where the coverage was USA-all-the-way, it would be an eye-opener. But you can bet CNN viewers will never see anything like it....Why would the networks 'fess up to hiding so much of the truth? Which only helps prove that conspiracy theory of mine: Michael Jackson is a spook working for Dick Cheney.

1. Oh, Jesus Christ.

Give me a fucking break.

2. Read the entire article.

I dont think its worthy of a "Oh Jesus Christ" response, the Dick Cheney/Michael Jackson thing isnt a serious conspiracy theory, obviously.
I've actually emailed this reporter before, praising her for her articles and her role on a CBC media-discussion program..she does a good job in exposing the types of garbage seen in the media these days.

3. no excuse for a racist entendre

if threads are gonna be locked nearly willy nilly for the "rules", there damn sure oughtta be one against that. particularly since there is no substance behind the hilarious cracker joke.

4. Errrraaa....

Like many words in the English language "spook" has several definitions.
In this context it means "undercover operative." Please check your local dictionary for confirmation. :think:

5. MJ died after Thriller

As long as we're playing...

Consider how radically his looks changed around the time of Thriller.

Consider the radical change in musical style afterwards (Thriller was the last album of any musical interest).

MJ died around that time and the MJ industry surrounding him decided to risk going on, that this might be a difference of billions for them. (In fact, having him dead and faking it, they get to cash in on his royalties, too!)

The J brothers and family could have played along but demanded the later "Victory" tour to get a humonguous cash-in.

They got a white actor (or two) to play the role. From that moment, he went "completely crazy" and had lots of "operations" and stayed a hermit, as a cover against meeting anyone who knew MJ beforehand and might expose the plot.

Some govt spooks (that's proper usage of the word: it means "spy" and I've never heard it used as a racial epithet, really) got wind of it.

This got out to the mind control division, who decided to use him for occasional psyops/distraction campaigns. The MJ conspirators were forced to go along, so as not to lose their gravy train...

The pedophilia stories started around then... fill in the rest of the blanks yourselves.

(I have fun with these scenarios... should have been writing for X-Files, instead of living in a sickening real-world version of it - as we all do...)

6. interesting ....

however farfetched. But the title should have remained the same as in the article, "Michael Jackson story is a plot".
