Jacko is NOT their father

By Carole Aye Maung, US Correspondent

MEGASTAR Michael Jackson's claim he is the natural father of the two children born to ex-wife Debbie Rowe is a LIE.

Debbie was artificially inseminated with anonymously donated sperm to give birth to son Prince Michael Jnr and daughter Paris.

The bombshell fact—revealed by Debbie in a legal dossier—could be her strongest weapon in her bid to wrest control of the children from 45-year-old Jacko.

She wants to stop him using "rich and influential friends" to send Prince Michael and Paris out of the U.S. before he faces charges of sexually abusing a 12-year-old boy.

The News of the World has learned the secrets of the documents drawn up by Debbie, seen with Jackson top right, as she prepares to seek "temporary exclusive custody" of the children. The papers reveal:

Jackson hid the truth about the PATERNITY of the children, aged six and five, when he was grilled about their light-complexioned features by Martin Bashir for his ITV documentary. The star insisted he WAS their true biological father.

Jacko and Debbie DID enter into a SURROGACY agreement on January 23 1996. The deal made their marriage ceremony nine months later a total sham—aimed only at securing his parental rights.

Michael was so obsessed with controlling the creation of each child he imposed a six-month SEX BAN on Debbie before insemination.

In return for bearing Michael two children, Debbie received a staggering £6million PAY-OFF. She also got a £1.6million Beverly Hills home, a car, clothes, furs and jewels. Michael continues to pay her monthly expenses. Last month she claimed £35,000.

In the surrogacy agreement Debbie, 41, agreed to "knowingly and voluntarily waive my right to contest Michael's paternity of either child" and "consent to Michael being declared the father".

But in the legal documents she also described the astonishing secrets of how she became pregnant.

Debbie states: "I have no information whatsoever about the identity of the semen donor for either child, as such semen was obtained anonymously from a semen bank under an agreement of confidentiality.

"I consented to the artificial insemination with the specific intent of bearing a child to which Michael would be the father and treated in all respects as the father..."

Blonde and blue-eyed Debbie also details how Jacko insisted that for six months she "refrained from sexual relations and avoided any possibility of semen being introduced into my body other than by way of surgical artificial insemination."

On May 28 and 29, 1996, following the stipulated sex ban, Debbie was artifically inseminated by Beverly Hills fertility specialist, Dr Hal C. Danzer.

He confirms: "I was requested by Petitioner, Deborah Rowe Jackson and Respondent, Michael J. Jackson to perform an artificial insemination of semen, donated to and for the use of Respondent, into the uterus of Petitioner for the principal purpose of assisting Respondent in having a child of his own."

The pair married in Australia on November 15 1996, three months before Prince Michael Jr was born.

After another four months Debbie was inseminated again, and Paris was born in April 1998.

By October the following year the couple were divorced. Jacko went on to have son Prince Michael II — nicknamed Blanket — with a second surrogate mum.

His divorce agreement with Debbie shows she agreed to give him "sole legal and physical custody".

She was allowed to visit the children only once every 45 days, between 10am and 7pm, with their nanny Gracie Rwarmba present.

Jacko gave Debbie a first-class plane ticket for each visit. But the following year she agreed to give up her visiting rights altogether.

In her declaration to regain custody, she explains: "In or about November 2000, I believed that Michael was the most wonderful father in the worldbased upon observations with him and our children."

But then her fears grew that he would send Prince Michael and Paris out of the US.

She states: "Michael has close, influential and rich friends all over the world...

"He has the ability to have the children taken out of the United States and never returned. He has the financial ability to rent a private jet at a moment's notice."

She also claims that Jackson is "easily influenced" and she fears he is being led by extremist Muslims in the Nation of Islam movement.

Worries

She states: "Michael's involvement with a cult, Nation Of Islam, is horrifying to me. I am Jewish and I converted to Judaism in 1982 before marrying my first husband. Therefore, our children are Jewish."

Debbie says she knows the Nation of Islam "do not like Jews" which "causes me endless worries".

She also claims she told Jacko last month she would never agree to his "secret plans" for his mother Katherine to adopt her children.

Jackson continues to show "poor judgment," she says, in stating it is acceptable for him to sleep in the same bed with children.

And she suggests that she move into the Neverland ranch with the children now Michael has vowed never to return there.

Jacko has vowed to fight to keep the children. He will stand trial on the abuse charges later this year. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/images/jacko01.jpg
DEBBIE'S STATEMENT: Semen was obtained anonymously from a semen bank under an agreement of confidentiality. I consented to the artificial insemination with the specific intent of bearing a child to which Michael would be the father and treated in all respects as the father, without the necessity of an adoption by Michael in effectuating parental rights.

Jackson was a Jehova's Witness, but has since left. The elders, I believe, had not been happy with aspects of his lifestyle. I know they were not happy with Thriller, and Jackson almost trashed the video because of it. Anyway, Jackson doesn't like anyone to tell him what he should do. So he has been gone from the JH a few years now.

This has me wound up enough to mention one of my hypothesis about Jacko that goes back a decade...

IS JACKO A CASTRATO?

That's someone castrated during puberty or just before to preserve thier voice at a specific range -- the Vatican used to do this until about turn of 20th century. Jacko's voice CLEARLY has not changed. Moreover, it would explain his rather unmanly physique in comparison to his brothers.

This could be either literal or chemical. Moreover, it might be the "unique" characteristic mentioned when they photographed Mr. Jackson's privates during the LAST abortive trial over child molestation.

Bloom County did some jokes on that subject. I'd say that given his father's attitude and his own, anything is possible. Personally, I believe that we will see the "real" MJ after his mother passes away. He loves her very much and I don't think he would do anything to deliberately hurt or embarrass her.

You might think that people are persecuting Muslims... fine. Think of yourself as a downtrodden people. Or do something about it. I don't care if you are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, Daoist, or a follower of the Church of the Ever-Loving Elvis. I really don't care. As long as your religion APPEARS to be condoning Forced Conversions, Suicide/Homicide bombing and other aspects of Terroristic activity... you will be looked at a little harder. Don't like it.... stop the fringes from doing those things.

And you may not think so... but the Nation of Islam is not your typical Muslim sect.

Darth Buddha
01-25-2004, 11:45 AM
Well, I had wanted to discuss this offline, but it seems that this should be voiced before the Islamic question goes any further...

Is Nation of Islam truly representative of mainstream Islam?

I've always interpreted Nation of Islam as being a racial seperatist group with past endorsements of violence... just like some of the White Supremacist churches out there.

These folks are extremist and to judge the mainstream faith by them would be erroneous. This coming from a non-theist who is scared by most religions![/b][/color]

its plausible I suppose, but there is no way to tell for sure.
but if that were the case shouldn't his sexual desires be nearly non existent? so why would he be molesting children?

Well, at the end of the day, regardless of his religon, Michael Jackson is a creepy guy that turned his back on his race (except when it's convienent for him to call himself a "black artist") has obviously never been within 20 feet of a naked woman, prefers the embalmed mummy look as opposed to having an actual nose, and likes to sleep in the same bed as little white boys.

I don't know why he had a daughter. Maybe to throw people off?

From what I have read on castratos and eunics (sp?), if they are castrated early enough no desires develop, but those nipped later in life are sometimes still capable of "being excited".

grinner is right. But it almost never happens.

I'd love to see most Jews disavow the current status of Palestinians as too quickly approaching that of the ghettos.

I'd like to see mainstream Christians disavow white supremacists, and other groups willing to commit violence to try to enforce their views on the rest of us.

I'd like to see this latest Ayatolla (sp?) in Iraq disavow a state without religious tolerance and some autonomy for religious minorities (wouldnt' THAT screw with the Bushies games where they are doing everyting they can to disempower the Shiites).

But I am not holding my breath on any of them.

There is another possiblity in regards to MJ's sexuality. He could be like so many other people who have been "misidentified" at birth. It was a standard practice (and I'm sorry to say for some doctors it still is) that a child with genital defects would be labeled "boy" or "girl" based on the doctors opinion of what the baby looked most like. Sometimes, they got it wrong. A few years ago, a mother had a boy with an either non-existant or virtually non-existant penis. (I missed the first part of the documentary.) The doctor insisted that the child was a girl and that the testes should be removed. The mother refused. The doctor coerced and threatened. She stood firm and said let the child discover who he is. Later, during a routine biopsy, the doctor took it upon himself to castrate this child, and force the mother to accept her "daughter". My point is that MJ could be another such person. He could have been labeled "boy" due to certain features, when he really was a girl. Hence his desire to look more "delicate", the voice, the posturing and the "mothering" all these children. Mind you, I still think he is a nut.

If he was castrated to preserve his voice, it should have been done early. (Right? Not being an expert in this field, I am not sure of the details.)

However, if this is the case, then whoever instigated the deed was guilty of child abuse. Which makes sense... children who have been abused have a tendency to become abusers. And they tend to choose children who are approximately the same age as they were when their abuse began.

So if MJ was castrated to preserve his voice, that might have occured at what? 12ish? What are the ages of the children he has been accused of molesting?

This is a very depressing thread.

grinner, I think you were right that mainstream Muslim leaders should have disavowed 9/11 en masse. I believe some actually DID, for which I give them all sorts of kudos.

Similarly the Pope, the Achbishop of the Church of England, and otheres should have disavowed the goings on in Northern Ireland repeatedly and forcefully -- they may have, but I am unaware of this (and I do try to keep up on international news).

I think it is the responsibility of the leaders of mainstream faiths to disavow those on the fringe who violate the tenets of the religion.

I also feel that the U.S. Government should have similarly dismissed that Air Force General who referred to Iraq in terms of one religion vs. another... we should be consistent.

It is perception. I realize that NOT all Muslims are harboring Terrorists. However, since there is the APPEARANCE that some are... and the Terrorists are acting, according to the terrorists, FOR THE GOOD OF ALL MUSLIMS... they should be denigrated and put down. As I have said before... APPEARANCE is the KEY.

Its perfectly reasonable for Debbie to be worried about Jackson's ties to the Black Muslim movement. Farrakon and the Black Muslims are racist against jews, and Micheals kids are white jews. For the record, I don't know anyone who would confuse the Nation of Islam with mainstream Muslims.

Also, I don't think Micheal is Castrati. He had bad acne as a teen. Acne is usually aggrivated by hormones. Its possible he castrated himself to get rid of the acne (it would explain the complete lack of facial hair until age 40 - his current facial hair doesn't look right to me anyway)
