The Neverland Raids – Nothin’ Nothin’ Nothin’

Nine out of ten times those who claim Michael Jackson is a pedophile will have allegations of “disturbing” child porn that was supposedly uncovered during the 1993 and 2003 raids of Neverland. These same allegations arose again in the media in June of 2016 as if they had unearthed new documents. The problem is that the police documents in question and the list of items seized from Neverland were not “new” or “recently unearthed” documents, as some media outlets have mistakenly claimed in an effort to bolster salacious headlines. These were all items that were entered in court back in 2005 ― items that were well known to both the prosecution and defense and were presented before both Judge Melville and the twelve members of the jury. None of the items seized from Neverland fit the legal definition of child pornography, and in fact many of the items that were creating the most media hysteria were not pornographic at all. What is usually used against Jackson as “child porn” are legal art books and art photography that have been found in Jackson’s home. Most of these art books and magazines do not even have children in them. They were legal art books; a few of them containing some examples of adult erotica, but again, these were not titles that could be in any way deemed as pornographic or even obscene. You should also realise that Jackson owned hundreds of thousands of books, many in storage, and Neverland’s library alone contained over ten thousand books, many not even purchased by Jackson but sent to him as gifts. We will discuss the books that were mostly mentioned in the media and deemed “twisted” and “disturbing”. It is significant to mention that the mere possession of child pornography is a federal crime . Many states also have criminal statutes for the possession and distribution of child pornography. If the books had been pornographic in nature or substance, prosecution would have been inevitable. The books in this video are from a list of what was found at Neverland sometime in 2003 which evidently included some old pieces from the 1993 case. The list is 18 pages long and we will discuss what was deemed THE WORST of what was found among the tens of thousands of books in Michael Jackson’s library. Let’s start with three books that were confiscated during the house search in 1993. These are most used against Jackson, as they included nude photographs of young boys. Often you will not find mentioned that at least one of these three books, entitled The Boy: A Photographic Essay , judging from the inscription in it, was a gift Jackson received from a fan. The inscription read: “To Michael: From your fan, “Rhonda” ♥ 1983, Chicago ” . There was no evidence that Jackson had ever opened this book. The other entitled Boys Will Be Boys , had an inscription in it by Jackson himself which shows what he saw in those pictures. It said: “Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys’ faces. This is the spirit of boyhood, a life I never had and will always dream of. This is the life I want for my children, MJ.” Since the two books are vintage books and sequels to each other it is possible that they both were gifts from the same fan who inscribed one of them. They contain pictures of boys in various situations by different photographers, including pictures taken during the filming of the 1963 Lord of the Flies movie. They do include nude photographs of children, but the photographs are not pornographic or sexual. They show the children in various non-sexual activities like playing, swimming etc. This is the third book that was confiscated in 1993 and contains both boys and girls, mostly dressed, but some nude or semi-nude. All three of these books are in the United States’ Library of Congress. The rest of the books we will discuss were taken during the 2003 raid. Underworld is a book about underwear by Kelly Klein, the ex-wife of Calvin Klein. Underworld is a collection of 154 photographs and celebrates the human body and encompasses more than one hundred years of body photography. The book contains artistic photographs of people in underwear. Among them are the rock band The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. For an even better understanding of the context of this book, here are some customer reviews: “ Very interesting and captivating look at underwear, and body. Photographs taken by old masters of photography, new masters and amateur photographers make underworld complete. Very sexy, innocent, and liberating … ” “ A lovely book, safe on the most conservative coffee table and full of moments that generate emotions. Underworld is one of the collections of classic photography. ” Room to Play is a book with surrealistic photographs and/or animations of children. The book is in the United States’ Library of Congress. Simen Johan creates surreal and narrative tableaux of corrupted youth. His images of children and adolescents are constructed by digitally manipulating and combining parts of faces and bodies belonging to people of various ethnicities, ages, and genders. "My photographs are composites of multiple-image fragments that I digitally manipulate and combine, including both images that I have photographed myself and found images. By combining different elements, my objective is to create artificial scenarios that appear vaguely familiar and produce numerous associations. I want to evoke a sense of familiarity that will seduce the viewer into allowing his or her own experience, imagination, and understanding of existing popular imagery to become tools for interpreting my work." This books contains artistic photographs of two teenage boys in rural Louisiana. According to the prosecution they confiscated it because in some of the photos the subjects were wearing swim-trunk type of clothing. The author is a renowned photographer who landed jobs in Los Angeles photographing celebrities and shooting album cover art, including one assignment for the debut album of the then-unknown singer Alanis Morisette.” Drew and Jimmy is John Patrick Salisbury's first book and is the result of five years of reflection on his family's past. Hailing originally from an isolated farming village in Northern California, Salisbury was preceded by seven generations. Family relations still live there, and Salisbury relives his past vicariously in this book through the lives of his cousins Drew and Jimmy. What results is a poignant and moving portrait of boyhood in rural America. “Visually pleasing as well as heart felt sincerity … My family was not as deep rooted there as the Salisbury’s were, but I grew up there and those roots run just as deep. It was a truly wonderful place to grow up, and the book depicts the environment beautifully. ” “ Beautiful and thoughtful. Salisbury has created a wonderful journal of growth and sensitivity. He has pulled at his heart to create this chronology of youth to adulthood. A somber passing, it would seem, for him. ” The Fourth Sex turns a critical, illustrated spotlight on adolescence, a territory of transition crisscrossed by the most varied creative energies. A series of iconographic materials begins in the 1960s and moves up to the present, revealing clothes, behaviour patterns, novels, and visual artworks created or inspired by the transnational tribe that are teenagers. The book's shifting, politically incorrect graphic style gives form and colour to all the contradictions and ambiguities of an unhappy age that we never cease to remember with nostalgia and the occasional twinge of pain. “ A great book by fashion provocateur Raf Simons that showcases a fine collection of cultural artifacts, from pop to the subversive. The book manages to remind me of my own days of adolescence and the images and iconography that inspired my sense of outrage, the shape of sexuality and the ideals that pumped the new lifeblood of my generation into our society.” “ Odd but awesome book! A n expressionistic piece of art. A book filled with a collaboration of photographs that show the feeling of being an adolescent and shows real life in action. A fun book to look at with friends. I promise you’ll love it!” “The book appeared to be a compilation of numerous photographs depicting men, women and children of both sexes. The majority of the photographs depicted the subjects completely unclothed, including the male and female children… This type of material may be used as part of a “grooming process” facilitating the molestation of intended victims” In reality though, this book documents Pere Formiguera's Chronos project, in which he took subjects whose ages ranged from two to seventy-five at the project's beginning, and photographed them once a month over a ten-year period. According to the police this is a book consisting of a compilation of photographs “ of nude and/or semi-nude women, in sexually explicit poses”. And that is exactly what it is. Women dressed in 19 th century clothes in some explicit postures and shot by French photographer Alexandre Dupouy. The Camp Cove is a book with artistic, non-sexual photos of adult men, including nude and semi-nude photographs in various settings both indoors and outdoors. The author is a children's book illustrator and gay art photographer who lives in Sydney, Australia. He is a renowned artist and has exhibited work around the world with exhibitions in Australia, as well as Italy, France, Spain and Japan. He has received accolades for both his artistic and teaching ability, including both the TAFE Award for Teaching Excellence and the NSW Department of Education and Training’s Teacher of the Year Award in 1999. Dressup is a collection of black and white photographs of children dressing up in various roles and settings. The author, Starr Ockenga won national acclaim for her first book on gardens, Earth on Her Hands: The Amerian Woman in Her Garden, which received an American Horticultural Society Book Award for 1999. Her work has appeared in numerous national publications, including Horticulture and Country Home. She received her master’s degree in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and has been granted fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Artists Foundation. Her photographs have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and abroad.” When he first started in commercial illustration, Dave Nestler's innate ability to capture likenesses got him plenty of assignments for film and television. Always a fan of the pin-up, and inspired by such greats as Vargas and Sorayama, Dave also created a series of stunning erotic portraits that got him the attention of Playboy Magazine. It wasn't long before he would star in gallery showings, and command fine-art prices for his illustrations. For those not quite ready to mortgage the house, here for the first time is a collection of these full color masterworks for your own personal admiration. The Art of Dave Nestler is an over-sized presentation, 48 pages in glorious full color, printed on heavyweight coated stock - every page worthy of a frame and a spotlight of its own. “ Original and flawless. Wow. I don’t even know where to begin because there are just so many elements to this book that I just love. I really cannot stress to you how valuable I think t his work is. The fact that each strand of hair is done in acrylic is mind-blowing to me. ” “ Great book from a great artist. Wicked Intentions is one of the few books I own by Dave Nester and is a must for the library any pin-up art collector or tattoo artist or enthusiast of the female form. This is a must-have for any fan of pin-up art! ” The police singled this book out as an indication of guilt due to the fetish nature of it’s content (such as bondage….etc). “This is a fantastic book which I've owned for a long time now. It is one of the first books I obtained while starting out on the road of the Fantasy Art genre. Sorayama is a master of the Airbrush methods. His paintings are of an adult nature depicting women in bondage, characters restrained and of course, lifelike beautiful women. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am NOT looking at a photo because the art is so lifelike. This book is for adults and the open minded.” “An incredible, completely original hardcore erotic art book, by the master. this book is not for your coffee table. If you haven't heard of this guy, this is the place to start.” Hajime’s work also appeared among others on the cover of the 2001 album “Just Push Play” by the rock band Aerosmith. Bidgood is a book about the life and work of American artist James Bidgood. The book includes nude or semi-nude artistic photos of men in various, non-sexual, fairy tale-like settings. The book was published by the publisher Benedikt Taschen who specializes in art, photography and art history books. Jackson’s attorney, Thomas Meserau mentioned at the 2005 trial that Taschen has sought to work with the Jackson family and that he sent this book to Jackson. There were more Taschen publications among the confiscated books. “Bidgood” is a terrific introduction to the 66-year-old photographer’s work. Although some may consider the style of the photos kitschy and campy, Bidgood argues (through his work) that beauty informs style and fashion. These aren’t interchangeable twinks in satyr costumes; these photographs harken back to an era when a different gay sensibility ruled. The informative and detailed accompanying essays help the reader understand what he’s seeing, and place Bidgood’s work in a broader artistic, photographic, and cultural context. Excellent!” Taormina is a collection of non-sexual, artistic photos of males, many nude or semi-nude in the 1930’s. The photos are from the late 1800s. For over a century the art photographs of Wilhelm von Gloeden have been admired and collected, maligned and banned, and have generally been a landmark in the study of the male nude in art. This book is graced by a fine preface written by Ulrich Pohlmann, a terse essay which surveys the artist’s life and makes a fine argument for the inclusion of von Gloeden’s photograhs in the museums of the world. It is a joy to have this collection available in its entirety. An artistic photographic book about youth culture and neglected youth by the renowned photographer Ed Templeton. The police confiscated it because it includes some nudity and claimed they were unable to determine with any accuracy if material within this book could be considered child pornography. Here is a video which takes you through the whole book: https://vimeo.com/54012676 Before The Hand Of Man is a photographic essay capturing the beauty of nature and man, untouched by civilization--or, "before the hand of man." It includes non-sexual, artistic photos of nude men. The book is a rare, vintage book published in the 1970s. It is in the United States’ Library of Congress. The book was published in 1972 and had one edition only. The book contains artistic photographs of children and young people in a beach setting in swimwear. The author Rineke Dijkstra is a Dutch photographer who might be the most important photographer of portraits alive today. Her people emerge from beaches, hospital rooms, indefinable space, to haunt us with their imperfect beauty and their fierce necessity of existence. These photographs heroicize individuals in a brazen way.” “Rineke Dijkstra has a gift for capturing the underlying humanity in her portrait subjects with a simplicity and innocence that is rare even among top photographers. Highly recommended for the serious student of photography”. The police officer who confiscated it claimed that based on their training, “ this type of material can be used as part of a “grooming” process by which people (those seeking to molest children) are able to lower the inhibitions of their intended victims and facilitate the molestation of said victims .” This is a book in which human armpits are photographed in a deceptive manner as if they were female genitalia. Janet Williams, the police officer, who confiscated the book said on the stand at Jackson’s trial that she was “shocked” by the content of this book. So let’s see the content which “shocked” this seasoned sex crime detective. This is what Poo-chi pictures looks like: The photographs are inventive and quite amusing. According to the police, however, it could have been used for grooming. Naked as a Jaybird is about the history of the American nudist magazine “Jaybird” that was published in the 1960s, described by the prosecution as “nude adult male and female erotica; very graphic”. The Glory of de Dienes Women contains a series of p hotos of nude women by Andre de Dienes who, among others, famously photographed Marilyn Monroe. This book is filled with artistic photos of a young man by Bruce Webber. In most of the photos the subject is clothed. Out of around 150 photos in the book there are only about 5 to 6 nude photos. The book also includes photos of the subject with various celebrities like Pamela Anderson, and it has brief texts by artists and celebrities such as Bruce Springsteen. Webber is very much renowned for his uniquely stylish and elegant photography and worked on many ad campaigns for brands like Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Revlon, Versace, as well as with magazines such as Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, Elle and Rolling Stone. Weber also directed music videos for artists like Chris Isaak and the Pet Shop Boys and he famously photographed many celebrities, among them Madonna, Brad Pitt, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and Michael Jackson. He first worked with Jackson in the ’70s when Jackson was still a member of the Jackson 5, then again in 2007. Jackson’s defence at his 2005 trial said that Weber sent this book to Jackson unsolicited. Bob and Rod is a compilation of non-sexual, artistic photographs of two males who are mostly nude or semi-nude. The subjects are Bob Paris and Rod Jackson who were one of the first famous gay married couple in the United States, appearing on many talk shows – including Oprah Winfrey – in the late ’80s-early ’90s. The book is in the United States’ Library of Congress. This book is exactly as the police described it as, a book about the “history of pornography with heterosexual photos from the 1940s on to recent, some graphic, some sadomasochism.” This is a collection of artistic photography by Robert Maxwell. The book includes some nude and semi-nude photos. It was indicated by Jackson’s defence at his trial in 2005 that Maxwell is a personal friend of the Jackson family. He is another photographer who has worked with a number of celebrities including Angelina Jolie, Yoko Ono, Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp. This book is also in the United States’ Library of Congress. A compilation of photographs, drawings, cartoons and writings about homosexual activity between adult men. This book was particularly emphasized by the prosecution and was even brought up in their closing statement. Probably because it was the only publication in Jackson’s possession which depicted male on male sexual activity. They suggested this vintage book rarity from 1970, that Jackson had in a cardboard box in the midst of hundreds of other art and photography books “proved” that the singer was homosexual, while the dozens of heterosexual porn magazines that the singer possessed, bought on a regular basis and kept in places such as his nightstand were not an indication of his sexuality – according the prosecution’s theory at least. These books were not found in the context of an excessive collection of nude photographs of children, but they were found in the art book collection of a man who was generally interested in photography, art photography, art history, book rarities and vintage books. Jackson once bought an entire book store and probably had thousands of unread and unopened books, hence why so many were found in cardboard boxes Besides his personal fascination with art photography, we can safely assume that his photo collections were used as inspiration in his own work – for styling and restyling his own photo shoots and music videos into something neo-classical, catchy, glamorous, sexy and visually irresistible. The PROOF for this can be found right in the police report. Just a couple of paragraphs earlier is a piece of evidence called item 1004 which describes them as “seven photographs of unidentified males in their late teens, or early twenties”. “The pictured individuals are light skinned African Americans who were posed in a provocative manner and were wearing little or no clothing. The subjects’ private areas were covered by what little clothing they were wearing, or by cloth material purposely placed to cover the genitalia. The following phrase was written on the box containing the photographs -“Why Photo shoot”. In addition, Michael Jackson was also photographed in the company of these individuals. Again, these individuals were posed in provocative manner with bare chests”. “It should be noted”, says the police officer, “I recognized the photographs described as being associated with the pop group, “3T”. I further learned the pictured individuals were Michael Jackson’s nephews. Although the photos contained in items 1003 through 1008 appear to be commercially produced, they do depict young males in limited clothing and various provocative poses… This type of material can be used as part of a “grooming” process by which people seeking to molest children are able to lower the inhibitions of their intended victims and facilitate the molestation of said victims”. I would advise the police officer against walking into a record store and taking a look at the album covers, they might have a heart attack when they see all of the grooming depicted on them. Also, the book Taormina clearly inspired Michael to include some antique scenes into his “You are not alone” video with Lisa Maria Presley, as is clear from this picture. Besides the art books, the police also confiscated a whole lot of adult, heterosexual porn magazines and videos, which we won’t get into in this video. When we say “Barely Legal”, you probably get the idea. Also confiscated were vintage nudist periodicals. Described by the police as “the official publication of International Nudist Conference. There were 19 copies of “Nudist, Sunshine and Health”. The periodicals contained nude photographs of men, women and children as well as writings pertaining to nudism. The photographs and writings did not appear to be pornographic in nature”. Until into the 50’s, the pictures were censored from nudity. The magazines were not sexual or pornographic in nature (and thus couldn’t be used for any ‘grooming’), but their purpose was to promote a healthy lifestyle and being at one with nature. As you know now, there was no child pornography ever found in Jackson’s home, not in 1993 and not in 2003. Note that the police officer repeats after each entry in his review: “None of the books and magazines contained pictures that depicted illegal activities, such as child pornography.” The only actual porn in his nightstand was clearly legal, adult and heterosexual, not something you would expect in the nightstand of a pedophile who likes young boys. So were those books used for any other evil cause such as grooming? Well, Wade Robson himself kills that myth in court in 2005. When Wade Robson was questioned about Michael’s sexually explicit collection by Ron Zonen during the 2005 trial, Robson was genuinely surprised to hear Michael even owned anything like it and confirmed under oath that he had never seen any of it. The other witnesses expressed the same kind of surprise. Not because it disturbed them, they just never saw it before. So if none of them ever saw those materials before , what kind of “grooming” was the prosecution talking about? Now we can finally put this chapter to rest.
