Uri Geller... friend or foe? 
I had BBC radio five on tonite. (tis British you know!) Anyway, they were talking about Michael Jackson and the current allegations and court case etc. And his very good buddy, who I do recall years ago, it was proved his bending of spoons was a fix, was saying that he over-stepped his ethical boundaries a few years ago, when Jackson asked him to help with a minor health problem with hypnotism. And he said, unbeknown to Jackson, while MJ was in a deeply hyptnotic state, he questioned him about the first allegaations, with the boy Jordan Chandler. And he was concinved that the singer did nothing wrong.
Well, I came across my Michael Jackson Thriller CD a day or two ago. I remember quite liking him. Tho wasn't overly-keen on his music, but felt a sadness for him. A sadness of what he lost as a child. And have no idea if these allegations are true or not. But haven't felt the sadness for him for a long time. Mr Geller, said he was concerned for his friends health. He was so "thin and pale" lol.. well he's only ever be thin, and dying ones skin an unnatural shade of "white" could give one an appearance of paleness. (sheesh!)
He said he was also worried about his friends faith. Well, have thought for a long time, that faith, is the only hope Michael Jackson (or anyone) has of ever finding some kind of peace in this life. But not sure what spoon-bending Uri was on about by "faith"
Even if Uri Geller was being frank (rather than Uri!) about the hypnosis episode. I think hypnosis leaves room for doubt in many spheres. How many allegations of abuse has been made in childhood and "repressed memories" were released during hypnosis, and later these "repressed memories" were found to be phantom memories. So would think it could work either way.
I don't know if Michael Jackson is guilty or not. I do know many people resent his type of super-stardom and will go to any lengths to see the "mighty" fall. Especially if money can be gotten out of someone in this way. And in his position ten years ago, it could well have seemed the easy answer to pay them off, not because of guilt but to end it.
But, the guy is weird, of that there is little doubt. And I haven't been following the case at all really. As I dont' watch news much.
But if he's innocent, he's incredibly stupid. As after the last time, he should never have been allowed to reget in this position again. If he's guilty, well, I have a cure for all pedophiles as to what I think should happen to them, but is not publishable on this blog.
But even if he's found innocent, which looks unlikely from what I was hearing, there will be plenty of folks who think no smoke without fire. Myself included. And if he's found guilty, his loyal die-hard fans, will be saying miscarriage of justice. Funny tho, how people pervert the law, as in its findings, because of who is on trial, rather than what the facts say.
