Jacko Chaos: Has Nation of Islam Taken Over?

Michael Jackson is panicked about his legal situation. In fact, he is so anxiety-ridden that he is now taking advice from a leader of the Nation of Islam, and not listening to his managers.

All of this comes on the eve of an event at Neverland Ranch on Saturday for 200 invited family members and friends. I told you about this event a couple of weeks ago. There will be a lot of filming that day of testimonials in an effort to rally support behind Jackson.

But first, the world waits for the Santa Barbara District Attorney, Tom Sneddon, to file formal child molestation charges against Jackson. Those charges will be filed Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.

In the meantime, sources portray the situation with Jackson's inner circle as chaotic, with brother Jermaine Jackson — sensing a chance to win favor with his famous, wealthy brother — bringing Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam into the mix. Jermaine became a Muslim in 1989 after a visit to Saudi Arabia, and his children converted to the faith as well.

My sources tell me that last week, the day before Jackson's controversial manager Dieter Wiesner left for a trip to Germany, Jermaine introduced Nation of Islam leader Leonard F. Muhammad — Farrakhan's chief of staff — into the group as a "bodyguard." When Wiesner departed, Muhammad and Jermaine began making the case to Michael that he was a victim of racism and that only the Nation of Islam could save him.

Since Wiesner's return from Germany, massive infighting has taken place as the opposing sides vie for Jackson's attention.

Meanwhile, the event this Saturday seems to be in the hands of none other than Jackson's father, Joseph, who has turned it into a family reunion. "Michael has issues with his father but he can't say no to him," said my source. "And right now, he's so panicked about what's happening, he's listening to his father and to Jermaine."

Both Joseph and Jermaine have declared bankruptcy in recent years and depend greatly on the largesse of Michael and his sister Janet. Contrary to conventional thought, the Jackson 5 were not big money makers in their days as recording artists. Because they didn't write their own songs and because royalties are not paid to performers, during their time at Motown the Jacksons mostly earned money by touring. It wasn't until they moved to Columbia Records in the late 1970s that that changed. Their last big money making tour, known as the Victory tour, took place nearly 20 years ago.

Whether Wiesner and his partner, Ronald Konitzer, can break the new stranglehold on Jackson by Muhammad remains "fluid," my source said. "Jermaine and his father needed some kind of leverage with Michael to make sure their cash cow didn't disappear. So they're not going to let go without a fight."

This change among Jackson's confidants has so far not affected his legal team, however. I am told that his attorney Mark Geragos is meeting with Sneddon this afternoon in anticipation of the media frenzy which will no doubt occur upon the filing of charges.

Calls to Geragos and to the Nation of Islam were not returned.

You know what JBoo, you are an *******. Everytinme I post something you have something to say. Are you an ex girlfriend? Wherei n that comment did I say it was alright to molest kids, please tell me. All I said is I hope he come out of it and not eat a bullet. Do you want me to condemn the man based on "allegations". Nothing has been proven, and the prosecutor has just filed motions for a grand jury. So nothing has been proven yet. Why are you jumping to conclusions? The man is different, fine. But so were other geniunes. All we know for sure is Michael Jackson was one of the best selling artist of all time. the rest is left up to conjecture.

hey, hey be nice i was being sarcastic, plus you brought up Woody Allen :laugh:

I agree he hasn't been proven guilty, but his past actions and this are starting to add up and it is not looking good. This whole article with him being scared can not be a good sign.

How would you feel? Celebrities are targets. People are money hungry. The sad thing in this whole situation is what the rest of the kids will miss out on a chance to hav. Mike took terminally ill kids into his house, and gave them a chance to be a kid. Up until now I haven't heard of another entertainer doing such a thing. Michael is naive, sure, he may even be a molester who knows. But the sad sad thing here is the rest of these children will have fewer chances to forget about their ailments, and the fact they are going to die painfully. We know Michael is a humanitarian. His songs spoke about compassion, and caring for other people. What is sad to me is that he's gone to so many measures to prove he's a regular guy, when he's done so many extrodinary things.

How would I feel if I were a pedophile… hell if I know because I can hardly imagine that kind of depravity. Humanitarian or not, you can’t go around taking advantage of children. Man, are you on the Wonderland payroll…. I hear MANBLA is looking for a spokesperson.

OY

You bring up Woody Allen but there is a difference in his situation. His Daughter-Wife is not claiming that Woody has hurt her mentally and physically. This kid is saying that due to what Mike did he is emotionally and mentally messed up.

Maybe this is a lie, but we won't know till the evidence is out. The sad thing for Mike is his past will hurt him this time.

Which means that it's at best monumentally stupid for Jacko to be dangling kids from balconies and trumpeting the fact that he sleeps in the same bed with them, not to mention that he paid off someone ten years ago so that they wouldn't pursue the criminal charges against him instead of simply clearing his name.

There are plenty of organizations out there that do this very thing. Don Imus built an entire ranch in New Mexico for kids with cancer to go learn how to ride horses. I don't think that gets him a free pass if it was learned that he was actually molesting kids. On the contrary, it would be more disgusting that he used his image as a caretaker to hide those horrible actions, wouldn't it?

On the contrary, it would appear that Jacko has done everything in his power to prove that he's not a regular guy. I read an interview once with Jim Carey in which he described how amazed he was to see Clint Eastwood arrive at an event. He didn't arrive in a limo with an entourage, he just strolled up by himself. That's a regular guy. Jacko lives in a fantasy land - literally - that none of us could identify with.
