Jacko Shocker Book: His 'Radar' for 'Woo-able' Boys

Michael Jackson's second-worst nightmare has happened: His former trusted PR man, Bob Jones, is about to publish a memoir of his years with the singer.

Jones was dismissed unceremoniously one year ago by Michael's brother Randy after nearly 30 years with the singer. His book, "Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask," will devastate Jackson.

Here we go:

"Michael had a sinister gift for identifying these boys; it was as if he had some sort of radar. I was continually amazed by how he could determine which of the many children he came into contact with might be 'woo-able,' whose parents could be bought off and counted on to keep quiet about what was going on. I came to understand that Michael manipulated people and events with a great deal of finesse."

Jones details Jackson's trips abroad in the late '80s and early '90s, before the famous Chandler family settlement, with boys who were essentially his dates.

Oooh, should be a good read. Wouldn't put too much stock into what a PR guy says though. They're basically paid to lie... and if the dude was running around for 30 years witnessing all the heinous crap he's probably gonna detail, then he's a pretty dark spirited fellow himself.

Not saying this to you Gabo...just making a general observation, as we are all guilty of doing that at one time or another in certain cases...

Im not so sure he wont exaggerate some of it...

But I have to say this...

Why is it that people question the actions of the victims, the family of the victims, the people that work for the guy, and the people that write about him...but those same people dont seem to question MJ's actions?

Seriously...why do some people give MJ the benefit of the doubt and then question the motives of others?

MJ has money, I grant him that, but knowing his past...why are people letting this loser off the hook and hanging others?

Its no secret that MJ has a way of choosing his victims...they are all basically cut from the same mold (poor, or otherwise sick)...so, I believe that this guy is telling the truth about that.

And it doesnt surprise me to see that there are people that knew what MJ was doing and helped hide it...as they were getting paid as well for their silence.

Im not saying that these people have morals, for they dont obviously or they would never have allowed this to happen if they indeed witnessed it, but I believe there were many people aware of what he was doing and that they are not all lying.

And hey either way, if this book helps to ruin MJ....then Im good to go with it...and Im not usually for doing that...but like anyone else in the world, I have no use for a molester...they are the lowest scum of the earth.



Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

Even LaToya(forgive me for this ) stated that he would have a "preditory" look on his face when he would be finding his new playmate. And she asked him why he was looking at one particular boy in the crowd but he said it just made him happy watching them. She then said that thats the one who you saw later around the house for sleepovers.

Now we all know the story of LaToya, but even if the allegations never came up, I would have believed her on that one. I mean MJ had family and employees around him for the majority of his life, and his love/preference for young boys was no secret so I'm pretty sure if anyone knew about MJ honing in on a boy it would be one of them.

Ah, even if that was directed at me mystic, it's alright, I get the point. I personally think there's plenty of people out there who've judged MJ guilty, and already think they know his motives behind everything. I don't know jack-all, so I'm just levelling the playing field by being very indecisive on the subject
