Watched it, felt sort of bogus. It zones in on one particular accuser who is admittedly very dubious. The main "witness" they talk to is a record industry PR woman who is also a MJ fan. Then they get into some sort of plot involving NAMBLA members coaching the kid to normalize pedophilia somehow by making MJ a high profile pedo?

The thing that struck me about it was how they allowed the civil suit to predate the federal case. I don't know enough about how it usually work but I mean it makes sense that you'd hold the civil suits of until the federal case is settled.

And isn't it kind of official canon that the music industry is rooted in the mafia? Would it really be far fetched that they bribed a judge while also steering the media coverage away from the judge poor ruling?

I don't remember the NAMBLA stuff though, maybe i passed out while watching it.

it’s a good reflection of how PR-heavy our conception of science is and how disconnected that is from any idea of what science looks like as a process. people see a picture of a flying car or a panda doing a somersault and say wow science rocks while some poor grad student works 18 hour days torturing a cell in a dish to turn into muscle kinda sorta

In 1999, West died at his home in Los Angeles at age 74. His family said the cause of death was metastatic cancer.[1] However, West's son John would later assert in a 2009 memoir that he helped his father end his life at the latter's choice by using prescription medication due to the terminal illness.[20]

His father, Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West, was a world-renowned psychiatrist with expertise in brainwashing and cult activities who examined famous patients like Lee Harvey Oswald and Patricia Hearst. His mother, Kathryn West, was a respected psychologist. Friends called them pillars of the community.

I don't think I've said it before and maybe it's worth mentioning that Jolly West's study where he brutally OD'd Tusko the elephant with LSD, which is unanimously pointed to as a huge joke and/or flop and/or animal abuse, was published in Science, the highest impact journal across all fields still

From, "From Tusko to Titin: the role for comparative physiology in an era of molecular discovery" by S. L. Lindstedt and K. C. Nishikawa in the American Journal of Physiology

from another scientific advisor in the FMSF Newsletter

quote:

Loftus, co-author of Witness for the Defense (St. Martin's Press;
$19.95) and an expert witness on memory in the cases involving the
McMartin Preschool, Oliver North and the Hillside Strangler,
speculates that such prestige-enhancing revisionism by Thomas could be
one explanation for why his memory differs so radically from
Hill's. Thomas is a "rigid person who insisted on the prerogatives of
his position," observes Emory's Neisser; such people can be "good
repressers" of unpleasant memories. As for Hill, Loftus suggests that
it is possible she unconsciously confused some past experiences.
"Could she have gotten the information elsewhere and created this
story?" asks Loftus .

* * *
Alas, there is no easy way to distinguish fact and fiction in many
memories. The best method is to find corroborating evidence, from
witnesses or written records, say, diaries or hospital charts, that
can document the event. Years from now, videotapes of the Hill-Thomas
hearings may verify the sights and sounds of their testimony, but the
heart of their dispute is likely to remain unresolved. Whose memory
told the truth?

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Walker Percy's Love in the Ruins (1971) is a political satire that's mostly too centrist (and Catholic) for this thread, but the central villain is a CIA agent (who may also be literally Satan) trying to buy or steal experimental psych drugs to brainwash a town into starting a race war. Its interesting to me since MKULTRA hadn't yet been revealed to the public at all

I mean sure there could be something going on but they don't really build a solid case whatsoever, they just talk about some suspicious things but don't go deep into any of it. Also they pull out a clip of certified insane narcissist Corey Feldman as some sort of testimony to MJs advantage.

lmao. Just learned one of those things that isn't connected to anything in particular, but is yet another in a string of deaths among people that the government wants dead. The German police found the identity of a man who designed a 3D-printed gun, and two days later he was found dead. The coroner said the 28-year-old must have had a heart attack because "the excitement was just too much for him."

Yeah but it was 20 years after the CIA massively dosed a whole loving town with something and blamed it on bad flour. It's not like the idea wasn't just sorta floating around out there.
