The Arvizo family is known for allegedly attempting to scam celebrities such as George Lopez and Chris Tucker as well, but NETFLIX never mentions that, of course. 👀

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
One more thing. Carol Lamere, a hairstylist to MJ and his nephews, knew the Arvizos. In 2000, Janet’s daughter Davellin told Carol: “Mom says Michael is going to buy us a house in the Hollywood Hills.” Carol found it odd and pressed her. The daughter then blurted out: her mother planned to blackmail MJ with a false allegation. When Carol got upset, Davellin laughed it off as a joke. A joke. A child doesn’t make that up.
So no, this wasn’t a trial about justice. It was a trial built on prejudice, payoffs, and a family who saw a kind, vulnerable man as their lottery ticket. The media played along. The prosecution changed their story. And Michael Jackson, already broken by years of lies, was dragged through hell.
They didn’t want the truth. They wanted a headline. But history has a way of rewriting the headlines. Michael Jackson was found NOT GUILTY on ALL 14 counts. Not because he had better lawyers, not because the non-black conservative jury was star-struck, but because the truth was never on the other side. The only crime? Being too kind to the wrong people.
There is only ONE true story about Michael Jackson’s 2005 trial and everything leading up to it. Let me lay it out for you from start to finish.
It begins in June 2000. Gavin Arvizo is in the hospital fighting cancer. Michael Jackson hears about him and calls him. Just a call to lift a sick child’s spirits. They meet in person for the first time in August 2000. By October, Michael gives the family a van. They visit Neverland, but MJ isn’t even there. After that? Almost no contact for two full years. Then, in September 2002, Martin Bashir asks for the Arvizos to be part of his documentary. That’s what brings them back in.
February 2003: Living with Michael Jackson airs, deceptively edited to paint a monster. Michael and his team are forced into defense mode against the fallout. From that moment on? All hell breaks loose. And eventually, you get the 2005 trial.
But here’s what the media won’t tell you: The Arvizos’ allegations are some of the weakest, most absurd claims to ever enter a courtroom as a criminal case. Before we even get to the absurdities, remember: The Arvizos had a HISTORY of false sex abuse allegations. The JC Penney extortion case. Allegations against David Arvizo. They also targeted celebrities like Chris Tucker, George Lopez, and Verne Watson for money and favors.
Their timeline makes absolutely no sense. The prosecution changed it multiple times after realizing their original story was indefensible. Most people still believe MJ molested Gavin BEFORE the Bashir interview. But Gavin himself alleged it started AFTER the documentary aired. Let that sink in. Why would Michael Jackson,knowing he was under investigation, with the entire world on high alert, decide to start abusing a child at that exact moment? That bullshit actually made it into a courtroom.
And the “false imprisonment” claim? Complete fiction. The Arvizos went to multiple places during their so-called imprisonment. Not once did they try to call for help. Even worse: After “escaping” twice, with the help of MJ’s own employees, they WILLINGLY went back to Neverland. Make it make sense. Please. The “abduction” story fell apart when Chris Tucker testified: The Arvizos asked HIM to take them to Florida. They went willingly. Michael didn’t organize any of it.
Tom Mesereau proved the mom and siblings were all in on it. His cross-examination of Star Arvizo was a masterpiece. Mesereau handed Star a straight adult magazine, dated AFTER the last alleged abuse. “Is this the magazine Mr. Jackson showed you?” Star said yes. Game over. The media was NOT reporting on the courtroom massacre, most outlets buried it. Mesereau picked apart EVERY single “witness.”
MJ’s 2003 indictment had almost nothing to do with the Arvizos or the prosecution’s garbage case. The ONLY reason the grand jury indicted Michael Jackson was a decade of sensationalism, folklore, and misinformation. They were already convinced he paid hush money in the 90s, so they assumed guilt, even though the legal settlement never prevented the Chandler’s from pursuing a criminal trial.
During cross-examination, Mesereau asked Janet Arvizo: “Did you start investigating Michael through lawyers as early as January 1, 2000, before you even met him?” Janet never gave a clear answer. She rambled. The judge ordered her to respond. Even then? No direct answer. Mesereau told the court he didn’t believe he’d received an answer, but moved on. The judge let it go. But the question lingers: Why couldn’t she answer? If she had nothing to hide, why not just say yes or no? What was the motive? Some say: she wanted money, gifts, favors, or false allegations. Others say: poor wording in a report. But here’s what’s undeniable: Janet Arvizo had credibility issues from day one. And one thing was always at the center of this family’s efforts: money.

THE LOW IQ RAP FAN IS THE DOWNFALL OF MAINSTREAM HIP HOP
BECAUSE HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE ART OF HIP HOP
THE PUNCH LINE
THE METAPHOR
THE RHYMING SIMILES
THE ESOTERIC ELEMENT IN BARS
THE FILM REFERENCES
THE ART REFERENCES
THE KNOWLEDGE ELEMENT ETC
THE NIGGA IS TOO DUMB FOR LYRICAL RAP
HE MUST STICK TO DRILL RAP
OR AUTO TUNE RAP CLUB RAP
ETC
And because the Internet was not available then, they could spread these myths and disinformation without rebuttal.
It used to tick me off how they could never call this man by his name, Michael Jackson.
It was always "Jacko" or "Wacko Jacko". Just disrespectful.
This was always the issue. Papers like the NY Post and other tabloid "newspapers" were only concerned with presenting the facts on ways that they could get the readers to come back and buy the newspaper the next day
Saying Michael was innocent & the accusers lied would not work
@cris_rys7@SurefireMJJ The allegations against MJ have always been a massive scam promoted by the media because it generated money, nothing else. The only victim is Michael.
They needed constant scandal so that they could keep people hooked to want to find out what was next. They sold months worth of "Daily News" based on the way they distorted (not reported) the facts.
Anytime they wanted to sell newspapers, all they had to do was bring up "Jacko"
My story about why my friends and I were on the witness list for the defense during the 2005 trial. I’m so sick of the MJ slander year after year. 🤬 Please share. These videos, from people that were actually there, are the most impactful videos, but never get the traction they deserve.
Harada and Nakastu left Bandai Namco Studios due to greed and terrible treatment of staff. In 2024, A whistleblower exposed the work conditions BNE created after making the decision to cut staff. At the same time, Harada began expressing frustration with BNE focusing on profits over passion
❗️Whistleblower 2024 leak press:
“BNE wanted to downsize their gaming studios to cut cost so they ended work from home and fired the employees who couldn’t come back immediately. Due to the sudden mandatory return to work, there weren't enough seats, so people had to cram in, resulting in many floors experiencing oxygen deprivation. The contracts of temporary employees were terminated, permanent employees were sent to a department known as the "dismissal department," where they were given no work but their performance evaluations were lowered to encourage voluntary resignation. They rummage through past events and PC logs to find faults, investigate employees' PC logs and work performance over several years, and if there is even the slightest mistake, use that as an excuse to fire them saying, "I committed problematic behavior in the past, so I have no future at the company going forward." They also spread negative reviews about employees whose resignations have been confirmed to other companies. Employees whose resignation has been confirmed are contacted with messages such as "You should not associate with a person named (partially modified)," obstructing their transfer to other companies.”
❗️Harada’s post from 2024:
“As games have become a major industry, many stakeholders have emerged. There are more and more "self-proclaimed game industry people" and executives who are not creators, do not even have development experience, and do not directly face the voices from the fan community. Come to think of it, it seems like every year there are more and more people who, when I try to do something with an idea, tell me, "Don't do it just because of an idea or passion. I've done a lot of things with an idea, and that's why we have the foundation we have today, but I guess people who don't have experience in making things don't understand that. Well, that is how mature this field has become.
❗️Harada in 2024 IGN interview:
“If you’re worried that Jun’s appearance means Harada isn’t thinking about throwing her son (or anyone else) into a volcano, think again: “The first people that came to mind were perhaps certain executives at our company," Harada says. "They change quite frequently and some of them are only interested in obtaining the highest profits possible to further their careers, and they have no regard for development schedules or brand timelines. So some of them quickly flashed into my head. But if I had to think and I had to pick a Tekken character, it’s tough because most of them would probably survive if we look at past instances.””
Your IP is just one clue. Websites also check your browser’s timezone (for example, "Asia/Kolkata" doesn’t match a German IP), your Accept-Language header (en-IN can reveal your region), and your DNS resolver, which often still points to your home internet provider instead of your VPN.
WebRTC is one of the trickiest issues. This browser feature, used for video calls, can reveal your real IP address straight from your computer, skipping the VPN entirely. A website only needs a few lines of JavaScript to do this. Ask if your VPN provider blocks this by default?
If you’re logged in to your account, the VPN can’t help. Services like Netflix, Google, and Spotify focus on your account details, not your IP address. Your registered country is saved in their database, not tied to your connection. So, using a VPN while logged in doesn’t really make a difference.
A VPN changes your IP, but your timezone, language settings, DNS, WebRTC, browser fingerprint, and login details usually stay the same.

Breaking: Your smart TV takes a screenshot of your screen twice every second and sells what it sees.
It is called ACR, and it has been running since you set the TV up.
Texas already sued over it. Here is how to turn it off in under 2 minutes:
WHY THE NEW GENERATION RAP FANS
HATE THE JAY Z FREESTYLE..
1.) ITS NO BEAT
2.) IT’S TOO MANY WORDS
3.) THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE ON THE HISTORY OF RAP TO UNDERSTAND NODS TO
PUBLIC ENEMYS “911 IS A JOKE”
4.) ITS NO HOOK
5.) ITS NO AUTO TUNE OR HARMONIZING
6.) HE HAS NO JEWELRY
OR DESIGNER CLOTHES ON
See today’s casual rap fan does not really understand REAL HIP HOP
They know HIP-POP
a commercialized version of it
That does not deal with knowledge
And information through a lot of words from a rapper that make sense
They are trained to listen to the beat
Or the hook
Or the autotune singing
Or look at the outfit or the jewelry
And since
JAY Z WENT BACK TO THE ESSENCE
OF WHAT THE ACTUAL ONLY SKILL ELEMENT OF HIP HOP IS
“THE LYRICISM”
Majority of the fans do not know what they are looking at
Or even have the knowledge on how to listen to hip hop correctly enough to judge it properly
