Fascist sensibility, Leni Riefenstahl-inspired ... good grief! OK, you don't like it, we get it ...

If it's one thing that never crossed my mind about Michael Jackson it was "militaristic".  Hey Robin, talk about living outside of reality.  Sheesh! 

And you can always spot the bad critics (most of them) when their focus is more on trying to appear witty or making a social commentary than actually reviewing the content. 

This clown is particularly bad as he's trying a bit too hard to fit the square peg of his personal pet peeves in the round hole of his torturous writing style.

Anderson is probably peeved at the subtle dig at Obama in the movie plus the fact that the military coalition with the Autobots was largely US-British (coalition of the willing). That and the human heroes of the movie were mostly military folks while the biggest human monkey wrench in the whole affair was a sniveling national security adviser who makes Sandy Berger look like Douglas MacArthur.

Here's my pop-psychological take on the self-created "King of Pop-psychos":

One of my earliest memories of Michael Jackson was a TV special where Disney World was closed to the general public so that he could have full reign of the park.  I was amazed.  How the heck could a kid who was not much older than me command such power?  It was as if he was a fairy tale prince floating high above mere earth-bound mortals like me.

My next big impressions of him came in the 80's when the tabloids began to feed off of his reclusivity and bizarre antics.  I was particularly drawn to his faux-human chimp-child and that weird chamber of immortality he slept in.  While most of us humans were heading down the same road or roads less travelled, this guy seemed to have chosen a different destination altogether.

Yeah, the guy was a genius, no doubt and his talent was of a very rare breed.  But it never really captured my attention as much as his Faustian evolution/devolution.  The kicker for me was a video he made - I can't remember which one - where he was rendered as an enormous, militaristic statue with criss-crossing ammo belts standing over crowds of ant-like people.  He was so big, in fact, that airplanes could fly between his legs and below his enormous crotch.  The crotch thing and his trademark fixation on it reminded me of ancient depictions of Earth-mothers and their enormous bellies.  Jackson, in his video, seemed to be casting himself as something more than human.  Something high above the ants and the chimps of humanity.  Could it be that he saw himself as some sort of god?

Well, how does one define God?  Are there specific boxes in which He can be placed? 

Male or female?  If God had a particular gender, then that would suggest that He/She would need a partner of the opposite sex for procreation and propagation.  Since this doesn't sound right, it suggests that God is neither male nor female. 

An adult or a child?  The idea that God could move from youth to old age suggests a straight path from birth to death which violates our concept of God as an immortal being.  Since this doesn't sound right, it suggests that God is neither an adult nor a child.

Non-white or white?  One of the biggest boxes we, as humans, get placed in is the race box.  If God were to fill out a census form, which box would He/She check?  Would God, who is without flesh, have a skin color?  Again, since this doesn't sound right, it suggests that God is neither non-white nor white and beyond all races.

American or Non-American?  That would be something, wouldn't it, if an immortal being had documentation to prove citizenship to a country that was only 233 years old?  Let's just say God is beyond nationalities. 

So with Michael Jackson, he looks at the man in the mirror and sees an African-American, adult male who is a mere mortal human.  But the little voice in his head insists that he is the "Boy-King" reigning over the Magic Kingdom...the Peter Pan battling pirates in Never-Never Land where life is everlasting.  He is not human.  He is beyond all that.  His chimp-child serves as visible evidence that he is Kubrick's Star-child, drifting off in his space chamber to galaxies where Gods reside. 

But damn it!  The man in the mirror defies what the little voice tells him.  The only thing to be done, then, is to use his power and his wealth to physically transform himself until the image he sees matches the one he hears.  So Michael Jackson transforms himself.  He becomes neither male nor female.  He becomes a multi-culturalist beyond national borders with his "We-Are-The-World" view.  He becomes neither adult nor child.  He becomes neither black nor white, a being beyond race, visualized in the video where everyone morphs into everyone else.  And with his glass-encased sleeping chamber, he takes a desperate stab at tackling that little wrinkle called immortality, because for a god like M.J., not living forever just won't do.

Of course, all of this is nonsense because I couldn't possibly know anything about the complexities and the tragedies of a human being who comes to me only as the creation of corrupted media.  I only wrote this as a way of saying something Clint Eastwood said much more succinctly:

"A man's got to know his limitations"   

 Is the WAPO some kind of program to help the mentally handicapped? They actually pay people to write this kind of moronic drivel? I wonder what kind of retard reads and frets over this garbage.

Fascist

Leave it to the Left to use a word and have no idea what it means. Let me help the journalistically impaired:

a political philosophy,
movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and
often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized
autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic
and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition (Merriam-Webster).

I don't see "military" or "uniform" or "white glove" in there anywhere.

Now, do I have to give the definition of "hate" for you MSMers, too? I notice you have no grasp of the meaning of that word.

Say, isn't that guy we have as president, by definition, fascist? Why, yes. I do believe he is. And he doesn't even like the military.

These writers' paranoid projections about fascism, or anything that threatens what they believe to be their Leftist power grab in America, will never end. They were trained that way by the notorious US educational system, especially the universities, and have become hermetically sealed within a toxic chamber of ideological goop. Fortunately, their vehicles carrying this kind of trash - WaPo et all - are crashing and burning. It will take time, but the common sense of thinking Americans and disgust with these people will right the ship (pun intended.)
