Are you tuned into #LeavingNeverland?
The graphic descriptions in #LeavingNeverland have been disturbing audiences since its premiere at Sundance earlier this year.

Director Dan Reed defends using graphic details of alleged child sex abuse in the doc: trib.al/lpQynib
Part 1 of #LeavingNeverland.

Michael Jackson met the first accuser James Safechuck, during the filming of this Pepsi commercial. James was around 9 years old.
Part 1 of #LeavingNeverland.

Wade Robson, who started dancing (and idolizing) Michael Jackson around age 5, met the superstar during a tour of Australia at 6.
Here are the biggest takeaways from the first night of #LeavingNeverland:

-Michael's alleged grooming started early on.
-Michael would gradually increase the distance between the boys and their families.
-Michael would find new boys all the time.

it's interesting to look at the current twitter feeds of all the pro-Michael Jackson twitter accounts that went after me whenever I was exposing his connections to transnational organized crime over the last two years.

1. Doesn’t it seem like Oprah is suddenly going out of her way to trash Michael Jackson? Notice how they made a point to report that Oprah was watching the #LeavingNeverland documentary with David Geffen (who is one of the most powerful men in Hollywood)
2. Oprah's buddy David Geffen is connected to Paul Mccartney & other Beetles. Geffen was the one who released John Lennon's albums. David Geffen also ran with Michael Jackson HEAVY in the 80's and 90's. MJ even said Geffen was one of his best friends. So why did they turn on MJ?
3. People like Paul McCartney was cool with Michael Jackson at first. That was until MJ bought the beetle's publishing, then as Paul says here, "it wasnt funny anymore". Many of these people were extremely vindictive towards MJ since then

Here's what the press and media are NOT telling you about the Michael Jackson 'documentary' #LeavingNeverland:

Both men making accusations against Michael Jackson are financially motivated, self-confessed liars and perjurers.

Ask yourself why you're not being told that.
Wade Robson *only* remembered being 'abused' when he was dropped from an official Michael Jackson tribute 5 years after his death. Jimmy Safechuck *only* remembered when Wade remembered.

They then tried to sue the MJ Estate for multiple-millions of dollars. With the same lawyer!
Their case was thrown out of court with the judge saying "there's no way anybody can take this seriously"

They have appealed.

So they have a MASSIVE financial motive in convincing people Michael Jackson molested them.

Even after denying he did any such thing while UNDER OATH.

THREAD: Several people asked me about James Safechuck. As you noticed, I wrote less about him than Wade Robson. The simple reason is that Safechuck's allegations have never got as far in the court system as Robson's, so we have a lot less material about him.
For example, unlike with Robson, we do not have depositions regarding him. But we have his complaint, his declaration and I have a lot to say about him. I am currently working on an article which may take a few weeks, depending on my work load otherwise. But it is coming.
Until then I take the approach of dropping bits of information about him in this thread. Let's start with what he claims about why he did not come out earlier with his allegations.

#THREAD: the #Epstein case vs the #MichaelJackson case: for those talking about "getting away" with "crimes", let's take a look at how (white) privilege really works. And why nobody talks about Epstein, while #MJ is being subjected to another slanderous mockumentary. (1)
For a good comparison, we'll take a look at the timeline of the #Epstein case versus that of the #MJ case. You'll see the differences in approach, treatment and mediatic consequences by yourself. #JusticeforMJ #ExposeTheLiars (2)

As per screenshot 1, the parents of #Epstein's alleged victim, a 14-y.o. girl, reported the alleged crime to the police. In 1993, the first allegations against MJ started with an extortion plan and a search for a "highly profitable settlement". (3) More: themichaeljacksonallegations.com/the-1993-alleg…

THREAD: Last year on Inside Edition Wade Robson claimed that "Every time we were together it happened. There was no night that went by that I was with him that he didn't sexually abuse me." #LeavingNeverland
When you read Robson's deposition, it sounds a little bit overboard, how he tries to sneak an abuse story into almost any and every interaction that he had with Jackson for 7 years. #LeavingNeverland
He portrays Jackson as a totally insatiable, reckless abuser who would abuse him even with other people being in the next room, able to walk in on them any time. For example #LeavingNeverland
