MJ Wanted to Heal the World ... with Kim Jong Il

Posted Jul 9th 2009 7:15PM by TMZ Staff

According to Michael Jackson, the release of imprisoned reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee hinged on one question: Is Kim Jong Il a "Thriller" fan?

Michael Jackson & Kim Jong Il
On his blog, Gotham Chopra -- friend to MJ and the reporters -- says Jackson called him three weeks ago asking how he could help. Jackson thought Jong Il would let them go if he talked to him ... provided the North Korean leader was a fan.

One reason why Michael thought Jong Il could be a devotee: "You know, he wears jackets like mine."

Gotham told Jackson he'd look into it -- but Michael died before the plan could get off the ground.

22. Disclaimer: I ,for now, choose to side with Michael Jackson not guilty verdict for this case only.

When Michael Jackson was rising in fame and fortune some of us witness a genius of Individual Achievement with songs ranging from 'Billy Jean' , 'Thriller' , or 'Man in the Mirror,. Michael Jackson was ,of course, allowed in a Free Society to capitalize on his acheivement and become very successful. With songs like 'It does not matter if your black or white' , his ever changing skin tone , and the Rise of 'Group Nationalism', his Critics were on the attack. Criticism of Michael Jackson included calling him a 'race trader' or 'ignoring the community (Critics like Al Sharpton,etc.) . As the years moved forward Michael Jackson became less famous until he was accused of a terrible crime. It was at that moment Michael Jackson
became desperate and so called leaders like Al Sharpton or his 'Nation of Islam' Brother Jermaine Jackson starting Exploiting Michael Jackson. Michael ,eventually, rejected the Nation of Islam , but the Group Nationalists keep on exploiting this Individual achiever.

This can never been so evident at Michael Jackson Funeral. Majic Johnson claimed 'it was the best day of his life when he ate chicken with Michael' (best day of his life ??) and Jamie Fox stated that 'we shared this black man with the rest of the world' (did Jamie Fox even know Michael Jackson that well to say that?). Apparently if you you are part of that Collective group , you have permission to Exploit an event or person to further the group image . Unfortunately , Group
Collectivism or State Collectivism has Allowed some many nefarious figures to Hid their corrupt ways (example Jeremiah Wright 'a Criticism towards him is a Criticism towards everyone in that group (in his case 'black americans') which is a Big Lie for a Corrupt but Rich person Or many Collective State Politicians (too many to list)).

Therefore , Michael Jackson become a Very Successful INDIVIDUAL on the way Up and EXPLOITED by the Group Nationalists on the way Down.

23. All idiot posters who refer to Michael as a pedophile are truly referring to themselves. PROJECTION!
