Sneak Peek: World of Conspiracy Theories

I started having an interest on conspiracy theories in 9th grade. My mind was full of questions such as:

A. Why and how did Michael Jackson die?

B. Who built the Pyramid of Giza?

C. What is the New World Order?

These are just some of the questions I had in my young mind. Whenever I think of questions as such, I write them down immediately on a paper so that I could do a research on it when I get home.

“… if you assume a big enough conspiracy, you can explain anything, including the cosmos itself.” — Fritz Leiber, The Big Time

If the questions above have made you curious as well, I will be providing theories about them but first off, I will be answering the first question. Why and how did Michael Jackson die?

Before I get started with the conspiracy theory about his death, I will first provide a brief background about who Michael Jackson is.

Michael Jackson, also known as the King of Pop, was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, United States. He was exposed to the public at such a young age because of how talented he was. His father, Joe Jackson, formed the Jackson 5 and its members are the Jackson brothers, namely, Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Marlon Jackson and Michael Jackson. However, after a little while, Michael Jackson left the band to pursue his solo career. He was later acknowledged as the King of Pop.

During his solo career, he did at least 200 tours in different countries. However, after his concert in 2002, he had gone off the spotlight and went on to live a life with his family. Later in 2009, he announced a 50-show comeback tour which was scheduled to begin in July and end on September 29, 2009.

Before he was able to do his final series of concert, on June 25th, 2009, it was announced to the world that the King of Pop passed away. The death of the King of Pop was all over the news around the world and was later revealed that he had died from a cardiac arrest due to an overdose of Propofol.

Off to the conspiracy theory about the death of the late King of Pop. Yes, the autopsy had revealed that he passed away because of an overdose. But, what if his death was all planned out?

After Michael Jackson’s death, La Toya Jackson, his sister, said that her brother was murdered. La Toya said that no government institution drawn her brother’s death but was “probably” planned by his colleagues. She believed that her brother was murdered as she stated that Michael Jackson told her that “they” were going to kill him because of his music publishing catalogue and his estate. La Toya also informed the media that when she scanned the King of Pop’s bedroom after his death, she found out notes that were scattered saying that he (Michael Jackson) wanted to get “these people” out of my life.

Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s only daughter, had also spoken about her father’s death and had said a similar statement from her dad, “They’re going to kill me.” She said that she is certain that her father had been murdered and his death was no accident. “He would drop hints about people being out to get him,” said Paris. She also informed the interviewer that her dad’s fans and their family know that it was a murder.

Another statement was from his eldest, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., also known as Prince Jackson. He informed CNN that his dad would often cry out after a phone call with AEG Live, Michael Jackson’s This Is It tour promoter. And guess what? Prince had said the same words which were uttered by Paris and La Toya, he testified that his father told him, “They’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me.” When Prince was asked about who were “they”, he stated that his father told him that he was talking about AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips and his ex-manager, Dr. Tohme Tohme.

As I was doing my research about his death 2 years ago, Dr. Conrad Murray was the doctor assigned to Michael Jackson by AEG Live. Coincidental? I think not. He was the last person to see Michael Jackson alive. He had given him the Propofol drug, which is used exclusively by anesthesiologist, as to the request of the late King of Pop to treat his insomnia. When a patient is given this kind of drug, they must be closely observed but Michael Jackson was then left by Murray. According to Michael Jackson’s security guards in his rest house, Murray did not immediately call them to call an ambulance after finding out that Michael Jackson’s heart was not beating anymore. After the medics had arrived, Murray was seen doing a CPR on Michael Jackson in his bed and according to them, it was not the proper way to do CPR. Doing a CPR in bed will not work since the victim’s body will just be pushed in the mattress; the victim must be put on the floor to do a successful CPR so that the back would lay flat on a hard surface as the chest is being pushed to try to pump the heart again. After the two-year trial, Murray was then charged of involuntary manslaughter and was faced up to 4 years behind the bars.

I also found out that Michael Jackson is worth more dead than alive and this could ground the conspiracy theory that his death was planned out by AEG Live and his ex manager. I also found out that Michael Jackson was supposed to do more than 50 shows as planned by his management but he only agreed to do 50 shows. If you were to think about it, Michael was already 50 at that time and he was not as strong as he was in his 30’s so it was clearly impossible for him to actually do more than 20 to 30 shows in his age. But again, people are always after money.

What are your thoughts about Michael Jackson’s death?
