U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency Declines Lifting Ban On Marijuana In The Face Of Malia Obama Drug Scandal Labeling It 'As Dangerous As Heroin' (Video)

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has again branded marijuana as dangerous as heroin. This comes in the wake of footage being released of President Barack Obama's daughter, Malia Obama, smoking marijuana last week at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Illinois. Marijuana use is illegal in Illinois.

The U.S. Secret Service, responsible for protecting the American head of state and the incumbent's family, has branded Malia Obama, the daughter of President Barack Obama, stubborn and defiant, because she has repeatedly defied them, determined to do things her way. She has been throwing temper tantrums and is determined to get her own way and it has created issues. This led to the twerking and drug scandal at the Lollapalooza music festival that has damaged Malia's name.

The U.S. Secret Service has basically given up on trying to tell Malia what to do, as it has been years of defiance and now that she has turned 18, it has gotten even worse. Malia needs to cooperate with the Secret Service. Malia's dad, President Obama, is hated by many. There are sick and dangerous people out there who would  love to harm her because of him and some who just insanely like physically attacking public figures. Malia needs to stop defying and exasperating the Secret Service, because after a while they will wash their hands of her and let her run amok...like at Lollapalooza.

Marijuana has been ruled one of the most dangerous drugs and has no medical use, the government has announced. The decision marks the end of a lengthy government review, which found the drug 'has a high potential for abuse' and 'no accepted medical use'. The weed will remain a Schedule 1 drug alongside heroin, despite growing support for legalization, the Drug Enforcement Administration announced on Thursday. 

The DEA will allow more research into its possible medical benefits. The decision comes a day after President Obama's daughter Malia was accused of smoking marijuana after a video of her puffing on a suspicious cigarette at a festival was released.

Court Appoints Administrator For Prince’s Estate While Police Seek DEA Help In His Death

Prince
 

Tyka Nelson, the sister of the late music legend Prince, who died last week, informed the court the late singer has no will for his vast estate. As such, the court appointed an administrator and established a trust today, which the Judiciary Report suggested yesterday (Reports Indicate Singer Prince Left No Will). Nelson states she and Prince’s half siblings should share the estate. They need to be careful, as Prince’s former label Warner Bros, is not to be trusted and will try to take what they are not entitled to in any measure. 

Local police in Minnesota are also requesting the assistance of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as prescription painkillers were found in Prince’s home, Paisley Park, where he died. Sites such as TMZ are speculating Prince died from a prescription pill overdose. I don’t think Prince meant to overdose. Sometimes when people are sick or in pain from injury, they take more and more painkillers or flu medicine in trying to feel better and end up accidentally overdosing (leading to heart attack, respiratory failure or deadly seizure). 

A friend of my family died a few years ago from a heart attack. He was a famous producer with two recording studios, a label, homes, a store and a copyrighted catalog of works. My dad, a musicologist and radio personality, used to tell him to get a will, as he knew so many people in the music industry that passed away from old age, disease, accidents ect. The producer died without a will. It led to a fierce legal battle in two countries, mainly in Britain, as his heirs retained attorneys regarding his assets. So much money has gone to legal fees. It’s a very difficult process when there is no will. 

Many label owners, producers and songwriters do not have wills. It’s a bad habit in our trade. Many label owners, producers and songwriters keep much of their business dealings and practices in their heads. If one dies, it can create protracted legal battles in trying to sort out matters concerning their estate. I would advise company owners, production talent, entertainers and athletes to maintain a proper will. Yes, it is morbid and a pain in the backside, but necessary to protect the ones you love after you are gone and will save your heirs additional legal fees and court related distress.

Prince's Death: Local Investigators Ask for DEA's Help on Case

The county sheriff investigating the death of Prince is asking for help from the Drug Enforcement Administration, federal law enforcement officials told NBC News on Wednesday. The officials say prescription painkillers were found in his possession when he died and in his house near Minnesota, though officials have yet to say what role, if any, those medications may have played in his death. 

An autopsy was conducted last week, but the medical examiner said it would take weeks before the cause of death would be disclosed. The DEA's role, officials say, will be to determine such things as where the medications came from, and what prescriptions Prince had obtained. DEA agents often check those records in death investigations. Some of his friends have said he took the painkiller Percocet to relieve pain in his hips — the result of years of jumping during performances...

Court appoints Prince estate administrator, sets first hearing date

Maria Puente, USA TODAY 3:10 p.m. EDT April 27, 2016 - The legal machinery assigned to figure out what to do about the late Prince's estate started up Wednesday: A judge assigned a special administrator to the case and set a first probate hearing date for next week. Acting on a petition from Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, Judge Kevin Eide, a district court judge in Carver County, Minn., signed orders appointing Prince's longtime bank, Bremer Trust, National Association, as a special administrator to secure and preserve the estate until a "personal representative," or executor, is appointed by the court.

Sony Music's L.A. Reid Blasted Online For Not Paying $2,000,000 Bail Money For Rapper Bobby Shmurda

Bobby Shmurda

Sony Music executive and LaFace Records co-founder, Antonio "L.A." Reid, is being slammed on social networking and in the blogosphere everyday for not paying $2,000,000 in bail money to have 20-year-old rap artist, Bobbi Shmurda, released from Riker's Island prison in New York, where he and fellow gang members have been locked up for the past 10-months.

Bobbi Shmurda, real name, Ackquille Pollard, is up on a host of charges that include murder, attempted murder, drug trafficking and possession of illegal weapons. Shmurda had the hit of 2014 with the track "Hot Nig*a" which was independently written, recorded and released. Sony Music got into a bidding war with other record labels and won. Shmurda was signed to a multi-million dollar deal. His upfront "advance" as it is know in the industry was said to be $1,000,000. 

However, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) and New York Police Department moved in on Shmurda and his GS9 crew, who are affiliated with the Los Angeles street gang the Crips. The feds are accusing Shmurda and company of being very violent and dangerous criminals. As such, Sony Music declined posting $2,000,000 bail. They did so for fear of bringing down the police on them over an artist who has not made the company the equivalent of his bail money.  

 

L.A. Reid

Reid was quoted as stating, "I'm crazy about that kid and I think about him often, but we seriously don't make the money we used to make. That's a fact of life. Bobby Shmurda is not the same as Snoop Dogg and Murder Was The Case, who's coming off The Chronic and his first album. It's a different era, ya know? And we're a publicly held corporation. We just aren't in the same position we were in back in those days. So, it's a different day."

Reid, tired of the bad publicity centering on him online regarding the incident further stated, "It made me feel like people don't know anything about my business. It's really not their business. That's the truth about it. We're not elected officials here, and we're not at liberty to disclose how we do business." Shmurda expressed his disappointment stating, "When I got locked up, I thought they were going to come for me, but they never came."

Shmurda's lawyer Matthew Middleton slammed Reid and Epic/Sony stating, "These companies for years have capitalized and made millions and millions of dollars from kids in the inner city portraying their plight to the rest of the world. To take advantage of that and exploit it from a business standpoint and then turn your back is disingenuous, to say the least."

A tearful Bobby Shmurda being perp walked in December 2014 after committing a series of serious crimes with his crew that feds have evidence of via wiretaps, telephone records, computer files, emails, witness statements and data from active surveillance that was conducted for the past few years

The fact of the matter is Hollywood is a den of thieves and criminals. There are industry members who have committed and commissioned vicious assaults, murders, thefts, acts of burglary, hacking, phone hacking and issued death threats. Hollywood doesn't care. They are only in it for the money, in a evil business that is reaping what it sowed, via its ongoing rapid decline and massive financial losses.

L.A. Reid Defends Epic Not Paying Bobby Shmurda's Bail

By Daniel Kreps October 16, 2015 - L.A. Reid has defended Epic Records after the label came under fire for their reluctance to pay Bobby Shmurda's $2 million bail. Epic Records has come under fire in recent months for their refusal to pay the $2 million bail for Bobby Shmurda, the "Hot Nig*a" rapper behind bars since December 2014 awaiting gun and drug charges. However, Epic CEO L.A. Reid defended the label for not bailing out their signee, telling the Rap Radar podcast (via Vibe) recently, "It made me feel like people don’t know anything about my business. It's really not their business. That's the truth about it. We're not elected officials here, and we’re not at liberty to disclose how we do business."

Reid admitted that "I'm crazy about that kid [Shmurda] and I think about him often," but the state of the music industry doesn't make it financially possible or practical for Epic to bail out the Shmoney Dance creator. "We seriously don't make the money we used to make. That's a fact of life," Reid said. "Bobby Shmurda is not the same as Snoop Dogg and Murder Was The Case, who's coming off The Chronic and his first album. It's a different era, ya know? And, we're a publicly held corporation. We just aren't in the same position we were in back in those days. So, it's a different day."

When Shmurda was first arrested in December 2014, the rapper revealed in a New York Times profile, "When I got locked up, I thought they were going to come for me, but they never came." The rapper's lawyer Matthew Middleton also blamed the label for not bailing out their artist, saying, "These companies for years have capitalized and made millions and millions of dollars from kids in the inner city portraying their plight to the rest of the world. To take advantage of that and exploit it from a business standpoint and then turn your back is disingenuous, to say the least."

Justin Bieber's Plane Could Have Crashed Under Unsafe Conditions (Video)

                            

Reports indicate singer Justin Bieber and his entourage, which includes his dad, Jeremy Bieber, had a confrontation with the flight crew of his leased  private jet, whilst flying to the Super Bowl this past week. Bieber's dad and others onboard allegedly refused to stop smoking marijuana. 

A thick plume of marijuana smoke filled the cabin, distressing the flight crew, hampering their ability to properly do their jobs, forcing them to wear gas masks. They radioed the tower in Teterboro, New Jersey to complain of the thick marijuana smoke interfering with their breathing and vision. Upon landing, the DEA raided the plane and detained Bieber and company for a 5-hour interrogation. 

"Soul Plane" was just a movie. You cannot smoke marijuana on a flight. The plane could have crashed under those conditions, killing all onboard. Bieber and company need to be glad they are alive. They cannot endanger themselves and flight crews in future. It's a dangerous thing to do.

Justin Bieber's Private Plane Pilots Had To Wear Gasmasks Due To Pot Smoke: Report

February 05, 2014 2:19 PM EST - Justin Bieber and his father, Jeremy, were really flying high when they took a private jet from Canada to Teterboro, NJ last Friday (Jan. 31). The plane was so full of pot smoke that the pilots were forced to wear oxygen masks so they wouldn't risk inhaling and failing any subsequent drug test, which would put their licenses at risk, according to an exclusive NBC News investigative report. 

Furthermore, the captain on the leased jet repeatedly told Bieber and his entourage to stop smoking pot, according to an official report of the incident obtained by NBC News. Bieber and his father were also "extremely abusive" to a flight attendant, according to the report, forcing her to take refuge in the cockpit. The captain also requested that Bieber and Co. "stop their harassing behavior," but after several warnings, he asked the flight attendant to stay with him near the cockpit to avoid further abuse. 

In the report, the flight attendant said Bieber and his father were so verbally abusive, "she would not work another flight with them."... Bieber admitted to officials during questioning that he had smoked pot and drank alcohol but said he didn't have any more marijuana, NBC News reports.

Congress Demands Answers From Eric Holder And The NSA Regarding Why They Are Sharing Americans Private Information With The DEA

Barack Obama

This is a follow up to the August 25, 2013 Judiciary Report article NSA Admits Employees Illegally Spied On Love Interests And Significant Others Confirming Site’s Previous Claims regarding a scandal I broke first in 2006 NSA Workers Admit To Reading The Emails And Listening To The Calls Of Americans In Violation Of The Law.

Director Of National Intelligence, over the NSA, James Clapper 

There’s nothing a drug dealer detests more than a snitch. Turns out some may have fallen afoul of drug dealers, who wrongly believed they snitched on them when it was actually the NSA (National Security Agency, which is now clearly the National Snitch Agency) tipping off the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency). A report today indicates Congress is demanding answers regarding why the NSA violated U.S. law in spying on Americans and then sharing the information with sister agency the DEA, which led to drug busts.

Robert S. Mueller and Attorney General (DOJ) Eric Holder - two of the culprits behind much of the spying. Congress is demanding Holder give an explanation for this latest scandal regarding the DEA and NSA.

Congress is not against drug busts, but these were not in compliance with the law as evidence was illegally obtained via the NSA, who is forbidden under U.S. law to spy on Americans. The Judiciary Report has maintained for several years in a story sister site the Sound Off Column broke first, the FBI and NSA are spying on Americans in violation of the law and sharing the info with other agencies and sometimes with civilians for profit.

Senators demand answers on drug agency’s use of NSA domestic surveillance

Published time: August 27, 2013 21:21 - A group of lawmakers have asked United States Attorney General Eric Holder to explain recent allegations that federal drug busts have been carried out using non-terrorism intelligence collected by the National Security Agency and shared outside the NSA.

The eight legislators — all Democrats — have asked the country’s top attorney to weigh in on the reports published by Reuters earlier this month in which the NSA is accused of tipping off Drug Enforcement Administration agents to help orchestrate narcotics busts.

"These allegations raise serious concerns that gaps in the policy and law are allowing overreach by the federal government's intelligence gathering apparatus," wrote the senators - Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Ron Wyden of Oregon, Tom Udall of New Mexico, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Sherrod Brown of Ohio.

Congress Wants Holder To Explain Intelligence Sharing Between NSA And DEA

Tuesday August 27, 2013 7:58 am - As the ACLU claims the NSA’s phone collection program is illegal in court papers filed Monday, members of Congress are putting pressure on Attorney General Eric Holder to answer questions regarding news reports that the DEA has access to NSA intelligence and is sharing that information with numerous agencies and personnel in the government. Even if the NSA survives the ACLU’s court challenge there is little doubt that the NSA intelligence gathered should not have gone to the DEA let alone to the wide range of places the DEA shared the information.

Eight Democratic senators and congressmen have asked Attorney General Eric Holder to answer questions about a Reuters report that the National Security Agency supplies the Drug Enforcement Administration with intelligence information used to make non-terrorism cases against American citizens.

The August report revealed that a secretive DEA unit passes the NSA information to agents in the field, including those from the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and Homeland Security, with instructions to never disclose the original source, even in court. In most cases, the NSA tips involve drugs, money laundering and organized crime, not terrorism.

Rapper Lil Wayne Stopped And Searched By The DEA In The MIA

Lil Wayne

Rapper and part time Miami resident, Lil Wayne, real name, Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., 28, was stopped and searched at Miami's Opa-Loca Airport by the Feds, as his private jet touched down in Florida. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) confronted the recently released rapper, who is on probation. Carter is famous for run-ins with the law, due to drugs and guns.

No substantial details were released on this recent search, but Carter was released without incident or arrest, which is not usually the case. In the past, Lil Wayne was hauled off to jail, after tour bus and hotel searches all over America, turned up various drug drugs and guns. However, that was the local police in different states. The Feds getting in his face is a whole new ball game of a more serious nature.

Rick Ross Sued For Stealing Name And Image

Rick Ross

Miami rapper, Rick Ross, has been sued by notorious drug dealer, incarcerated felon, "Freeway" Ricky Ross. The Miami MC famously took the drug dealer's name, image and likeness and used it to launch a fairly successful rap career.

The only problem for the rapper is in America there is such a thing as image rights. "Freeway" Ricky Ross is entitled to what is known as the Right Of Publicity, meaning he and only he, has the right to profit from his name and image. When he has passed, that right goes to his heirs.

To use his real life image as a persona for a rap career and credibility, is a violation of his legal rights. You are an impersonator, pretending to be the real thing and in music that defeats the purpose of having credibility. As such, the cocaine trafficker has sued the Miami rapper.

"Freeway" Ricky Ross

Thus far, Judge Percy Anderson, has not granted an injunction barring the release of Ross' forthcoming album, but under the law, he owes the felon financial damages and should cease and desist exploiting his name and image for financial gain.

Under the circumstances, you cannot take someone's name and image and turn it into entertainment for profit. You are infringing on their life, which is illegal.

The damages are multiplied, as you are disseminating this work and persona not your own, all over the world, violating international image laws as well.

Side Bar: "Freeway" Ricky Ross appeared in the eye-opening documentary "American Drug War." He spoke about the CIA and Oliver North, as did numerous other individuals, from drug dealers to former DEA agents.

I still have not gotten over that documentary. It's pretty messed up when you find out the CIA flooded the streets of Compton, California with drugs they imported into America.

Film Review: American Drug War

Title: American Drug War

Year Of Release: 2007

Review Date: August 31, 2009

Rating: R

Running time: 118 minutes

Box Office Gross: N/A

The "American Drug War: The Last White Hope" was an interesting, albeit misguided documentary by Kevin Booth. The piece focused on the American war on drugs, implemented by former U.S. President Richard Nixon.

Richard Nixon

I certainly didn't agree with Nixon's Watergate scandal or the fact he misused the Secret Service to spy on rivals such as Ted Kennedy, looking for dirt on the senator, to disgrace and discredit him, such as adultery. How ironic, given the illegal wiretapping he was engaging in. Oh, times haven't changed.

John Lennon

I also did not agree with Nixon spying on and seeking to deport singer/songwriter John Lennon. It was one of the worst political moves he made. Lennon was no saint, but to turn that level of federal attention, into prying in his life, was unconstitutional.

However, Nixon was right to initiate the war on drugs. I didn't agree with this documentary, as it glorifies drug use and condemns the authorities for trying to stamp it out.

Another irony of this documentary is, so many of the interviewees were stoned out of their minds and it is proof positive drugs are not good for you.

What kind of an endorsement for the drug trade is a group of men and women slurring their speech, speaking incoherently and looking dead in the eyes, clearly suffering from an ongoing loss of brain cells.

They were incapable of proper thought and speech. Sobriety, intelligence and responsibility are the better choice.

However, I do not wish to condemn them for their addictions, as many people struggle with horrible emotional pain and choose drugs as the outlet to forget the bad things that have happened to them, but it is not the right choice. Keep trying to get sober and drug free. God bless you.

John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Another misconception stated in the film is, "Music and drugs go hand in hand." I beg to differ. Stoned musicians turn up for work late, costing everyone including themselves income, cannot get their act together, make many mistakes while recording and performing at shows and destroy their vocal chords with drug abuse. Cocaine, crack and smoking are not good for the human voice.

It is referred to as, "Opening up your mind" but what are you opening it up to? Paranoia, schizophrenia, brain cell depletion, scary imagery and hallucinations.

Interestingly enough, Robert Steele, a former CIA agent featured in "American Drug War" stated, prior to the September 11th attacks, there were, "No drugs under the Taliban" but now the region, "Is responsible for 80% of the heroin coming to the United States and Western countries."

A former DEA Agent, Celerino Castillo III, also stated the Taliban was against "opium crop development" but after September 11th, "with the U.S. government controlling Afghanistan" poppy flowers grew in abundance and shipments to America increased.

It also explored the Taliban's role in the drug trade. Another allegation included, Osama's alleged anger towards George W. Bush for attempting to reduce opium and heroin shipments.

It was stated, Nixon gave Nepal $50,000,000 to outlaw drugs and hashish. However, later, the CIA allegedly, "Allowed drug production for political reasons."

Another item of note, is a segment featuring incarcerated drug dealer, Freeway Ricky Ross, who rapper "Rick Ross" took his name and persona from, for his hip hop career, which has been called into question for the past year.

Soldier in Afghanistan surveying poppy fields

The documentary points out that drug dealer, Freeway Ricky Ross, "Is at the bottom of the food chain, so he went to prison." While, according to CIA Officer, Robert Steele, "All the guys that violated the law, that ignored Congressional sanctions on Iran Contra, they're all in power. And George W. Bush, a guy that never succeeded at anything and is certainly not succeeding at this presidency, a guy who stole two elections, who has committed at least 10 impeachable offenses, he's President of the United States."

It goes on to list the men "still in power" as Otto Reich, Elliot Abrams, John Pointdexter, Michael Hayden, Robert Gates, John Walters and John Negroponte.

Then it closes with the hard-hitting line, "Ricky Ross is doing George Bush's time."

Propofol Killed Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson

Lethal doses of the drug Propofol, killed singer Michael Jackson, when it was improperly dispensed outside of a hospital setting, without the expertise of an anesthesia technician.

In a practice this Column has slammed in the past, Jackson was given Propofol and a host of other sedatives, hours apart. It is very difficult for the human body to survive such toxicity, when so many elements of potent drug compositions, besiege the bloodstream and cells.

The day he died, Jackson repeatedly complained of insomnia, demanding more and more sedatives. It is clear, the issues that plagued him, creating the sleeplessness, were not properly addressed by the right psychologists and physicians.

There is no necessity to ever medicate a patient to the extremes Jackson was treated. It was very unwise to believe someone's system could survive that chemical onslaught.

Jackson's last doctors, Dr. Conrad Murray and Dr. Arnold Klein are under active investigation, with a stream of misconduct by the two, continually being uncovered. Dr. Murray is facing the greatest scrutiny, as the physician that administered the fatal dose.

The two men should not be medical doctors under the circumstances, as the mere fact they thought this was an appropriate course of treatment, to appease a pop star that wanted what he should not have, says their judgment is very poor and it poses a risk to the general public.

Pharmaceutical drugs are not candy, to be gobbled up, with the most you will take away from it being a belly ache and cavities. There is an exact science to it and I can't fathom how men that went to medical school did not know better. In short, it was reckless.

Their conduct is the scientific equivalent of a scientist taking home batches of controlled nuclear substances to play around with in their kitchen. You just don't do that, as the risks are too great and deadly.

AP Source: Coroner rules Jackson's death homicide

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide and a combination of drugs was the cause, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died...

Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson's personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. A designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.

A search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston includes a detailed account of what Murray told investigators.

According to the document, Murray said he'd been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night via an intravenous drip. But he said he feared Jackson was forming an addiction to the anesthetic, which is normally used in hospitals only, and was attempting to wean his patient by lowering the dose to 25 milligrams and adding the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam...

Then around 1:30 a.m. on June 25, starting with a 10-milligram tab of Valium, Murray said he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep. The injections included two milligrams of lorazepam around 2 a.m., two milligrams of midazolam around 3 a.m., and repeats of each at 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. respectively. But they didn't work.

Murray told detectives that around 10:40 a.m. he gave in to Jackson's "repeated demands/requests" for propofol, which the singer referred to as his "milk." He administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid, — a relatively small dose — and finally, Jackson fell asleep.

Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left for the bathroom. No more than two minutes later, he returned — and found Jackson had stopped breathing.

"There's no surprise there" that death could result from such a combination, said Dr. David Zvara, anesthesia chairman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

"All those drugs act in synergy with each other," Zvara said. Adding propofol on top of all the other sedatives "tipped the balance."

Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner's toxicology report found other substances in Jackson's system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer's death, the official told the AP.

When he died, Jackson was skinny but not overly emaciated, and his body had bed sores, the official said. The singer is believed to have developed bed sores in the months following his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges, when he went into seclusion and spent long stretches in bed...

Cantrell said it's perplexing that someone would give various benzodiazepines if one was found not to be effective.

"This is horrible polypharmacy," he said, referring to the interaction between the various drugs. "No one will treat an insomniac like this."...

Michael Douglas' Son Charged As Drug Dealer

The United States Drug Enforcement Agency, has arrested and indicted Hollywood actor, Cameron Douglas, the son of wealthy veteran actor, Michael Douglas, the star of such films as "Wall Street" for dealing in large quantities of crystal meth. He is accused of selling many pounds of the drug and as such, he is now facing a decade in prison if convicted.

True to federal form, the DEA was silently watching Cameron Douglas for years (three), quietly conducting an investigation, moving in on him this week, with criminal charges that came as a surprise to many.

Many of you are probably wondering, why the son of a rich actor would become a drug dealer. Maybe his dad cut him off financially, not wanting to support his habit and it mushroomed into something else, drug dealing.

Michael Jackson's Doctor Home Raided

Debbie Rowe Wants Michael Jackson's Kids Back

LAPD And DEA On Jackson Case

The Michael Jackson case exploded today with news the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) asked the federal DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) to join the investigation into his early death, his memorial will be held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, wants custody of her two children she gave to him.

She has maintained for quite sometime they are her children and Michael is not the father. However, her statements about her children were not emotionally healthy and screams avarice. She basically gave them away for millions of dollars and referred to them as "animals" she gave birth to for Jackson.

If Rowe regained custody, she stands to inherit $250,000,000 via Michael's will, in what he left for his children and any and all money that would come from pimping them out in book and television deals, on what life was like living with Michael Jackson.

While, I do agree children should be with their parents, as long as they are of sound mind, Rowe smells cash, I'm sure.
