This.

I return to this essay as the pattern repeats.

This isn’t really about Michael Jackson.

As Baldwin wrote decades ago, the noise reveals the culture—not the figure.

At this scale, interpretation collapses into projection.

yk what’s sad? when my friend and i went to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, she asked me why there was so much of Prince’s stuff but only one from MJ. this is exactly why.

IT WAS A CONSPIRACY ‼️

In 2003/2004 after Sneddon brought charges against Michael, anti-MJ websites sprang up like mushrooms. One MJ fan tracked the IP addresses of 3,000 such websites. Her findings were as follows:
1. Many of the IP addresses belonged to an association of prosecutors, of which Sneddon was the vice president
2. A large number of IP addresses linked anti-Michael sites to major media players
3. The analysis of these IP addresses led her to a surprising discovery: the very same people might be behind both pro-Michael and anti-Michael sites.

The fan contacted Michael’s assistant, Evvy Tavasci, via email. What happened next: Sneddon’s office confiscated these documents during the course of the investigation; he never provided them to the defense and hasn‘t done so to this day.

@LDarkstalker @rememberthebite Auctioning limits it to only a few rich ppl, the clothes will never be seen again coz they become private collections. If he truly meant for everyone to enjoy Michael’s legacy, he’d give it to a museum where everyone could see it.

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@LDarkstalker @rememberthebite No he didn’t, Tompkins did most of the work & Bush has just erased him, his own partner

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@Enzocuban @rememberthebite Did they give a reason?

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@rememberthebite The bids are dirt cheap.. it’s painful to see.. these are PRICELESS, ICONIC pieces.. their value should be in the millions

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@dczadp He didn’t gift ALL of his clothes. MJ always planned on having a museum one day & they were charged with safe keeping. Bush now claims after MJ’s death that MJ just gave ALL his clothes to Bush to own, and Bush is not someone you can trust coz he has forged MJ’s signatures.

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

You know how the treasures & artefacts of colonised countries end up in some rich white person’s living room while the history & achievements of the country is erased from textbooks or never taught & replaced by propaganda calling them savage? It’s happening to Michael Jackson.

[Reuters @Reuters]

Michael Jackson's Thriller jacket is returning to the auction block after more than a decade and is estimated to fetch millions

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@SashaJanabimj90 Michael Bush was tasked with safekeeping these outfits, MJ never “gifted” them to him.. he must’ve produced a document he forged to claim ownership.. he has forged a lot of MJ’s signatures to falsely autograph items to increase their value..

The Jackson 5, "Rock & Soul Songs" Magazine. May, 1974 FULL ARTICLE A thread💕

[Nerd Jackson @NerdJackson_]

This last page talks about the Jackson 5's trip to Africa. I didn't know they actually met Haile Selassie! OMG

[ChartMasters.org @chartmastersorg]

Michael Jackson's Invincible has officially climbed past the 1.1 billion mark on Spotify.

The video below reveals how it went from 60 million streams in 2022 to 475 million so far this year.

@theplacehotelly MJ was influenced by Ali a lot.. especially activism

[𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚: 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐫𝐚 @AalihaT]

Michael heavily documented his life and creative processes and has probably ran through hundreds of cam recorders and cassette tapes. He even recorded his conducted interviews with people he admired that have yet to resurface

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@Mjvibe I do not understand how this case can exist without establishing the truth of the allegations first.. it’s so unfair to MJ to just “assume for legal purposes”.. like, what? Why would you argue material matters over hypotheticals?

[Cris @cris_rys7]

NATHAN WATTS TOLD US A SECRET ABOUT MICHAEL 😱😱😱
Hint: HEARTBREAK HOTEL 😍😍

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@pinkrhiannon Michael didn’t “give” him that.. MJ was probably looking for it. The Cascios even stole home videos of him with his children that MJ meant to preserve memories. And these ppl auctioned it after his death.

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

@watchsquare_one @retromjs It’s not the same furniture & art, it’s just props staged by the real estate agency. All of MJ’s stuff is in a warehouse. It’s true MJ did not change anything from William Bone’s decor, he only added to it. But it’s all in a warehouse now & a lot has been auctioned.

[🌍 @LisaCroft]

Diane Dimond used the same argument against MJ’s lawsuit.. hope it doesn’t work for Scott Jennings.

[kilo @kilotonics]

today, Scott Jennings' team filed to dismiss the defamation lawsuit filed against him by Hasan Piker

he argues the plaintiff's team didn't assert actual malice, along with something to the effect of, "Well, Hasan DID say those words"
