Man, The Father, As Protector (The One That Must Be Lied To, And Lied On, And Lied About)

"Demanding that the tour be called off, he asked an aide to call his father, shouting that Joe Jackson was the only person he still trusted,...

‘He begged to see his father but they lied to him. They told him they couldn’t get hold of him. If Joe Jackson had been allowed to see him that night, I believe Michael would still be alive.’...

‘Michael was visibly upset. I’ve been told he was crying. He demanded an aide call his father. He said his father was the only person who could “clean up the mess”. The aide told him there was no answer and promised to call him the next day.’...

Halperin claims that for weeks, whenever Joe Jackson drove to his son’s mansion, he was blocked by security guards. ‘These people were scared that if Joe got wind of the shape Michael was in, he would cancel all 50 shows,’ Halperin says. ‘Joe always told his children, “You either perform at your maximum capacity or you don’t perform.’’’...

It may be difficult to prove exactly what killed Michael. He was an extremely sick man,’ says Halperin. ‘The one thing that is certain is that his father would have beaten down the gates to rescue him if he’d been informed of the state that he was in.

‘No one can say how long he would have lived but he would have survived that night.’"


-- Sharon Churcher and Caroline Graham, quoting Ian Halperin, Michael Jackson's biographer - "who accurately predicted Jackson’s death eight months ago" - on Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson's hated father, who, when it all came down to it, was the only person with integrity, in The Daily Mail.
