'Foul play' in Michael Jackson's death, says father

Michael Jackson's father says that he suspects "foul play" in his son's death, as police probe allegations the singer was addicted to a cocktail of powerful prescription drugs.

While Joe Jackson said that he wasn't sure what drugs his son may have been taking, he said that the death is suspicious.

"I just couldn't believe what was happening to Michael. I just couldn't believe it," Joe Jackson told ABC News. "And I do believe it was foul play. I do believe that."

"I do know that whatever he was taking (it) was to make him rest, because he was working so hard," said Joe Jackson.

According to interviews police conducted in 2004 with the singer's employees, Jackson was taking upwards of 10 Xanax pills a day. Xanax is prescribed to patients suffering from panic disorders.

The interviews, filed in advance of Jackson's sex abuse trial in 2005, were unveiled by CNN Friday.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton told CNN that the final verdict on the singer's sudden death on June 25 won't be known until the coroner's report is filed later this month.

The coroner's report is expected to include toxicology results which will reveal if drugs played a part in the singer's death.

"Based on those we'll have an idea of what we're dealing with," Bratton said Thursday. "Are we dealing with homicide? Are we dealing with an accidental overdose? What are we dealing with?"

Bratton noted that officers have been arranging interviews with Jackson's many physicians.

The Drug Enforcement Administration is assisting in the probe.

In other developments, the singer's mother and his former wife have been given another week to reach an agreement about custody of the pop star's three children.

The guardianship hearing, which was set for Monday, could have resulted in a standoff between Katherine Jackson and the singer's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe.

Rowe and Jackson were married from 1996 to 1999 and they had two children together, 12-year-old Prince Michael and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11.

The identity of the woman who birthed the singer's youngest child, Prince Michael II, has never been revealed.

"We are pleased that the child custody hearing has been continued over until July 20th to further our progress and allow us to privately and amicably resolve this most important matter in a dignified manner for the benefit of the children first and all involved," Jackson representative L. Londell McMillan said.

Lawyers for Rowe didn't issue any comments Friday.

Joe Jackson said the children would have the best environment with their grandparents, where the family could "keep them all together and make them happy."

Not Worth Missing...!!!

Here are three books that i want to share with you, my friends. Both revolve around a person about whom the masses share varied thoughts. Still i have learned a lot from his life. I believe that there is goodness in every thing that we do, we hear or we come across, it is in our own hands to change the way we look at things.There are zillion of thoughts that we are exposed to, our work as a human being is to pick up "the best" amongst the rest.
The first book is called MEIN KAMPH. to buy this book, visit the link, http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?index=books&linkCode=qs&keywords=817224164X
"For years Mein Kampf stood as proof of the blindness and complacency of the world. For in its pages Hitler announced -- long before he came to power -- a program of blood and terror in a self-revelation of such overwhelming frankness that few among its readers had the courage to believe it ... That such a man could go so far toward realizing his ambitions, and -- above all -- could find millions of willing tools and helpers; that is a phenomenon the world will ponder for centuries to come."

the Second book is:
In Rabbi David G. Dalin's controversial new book, he explodes the newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of Pope Pius XII, whom Jewish survivors of the Holocaust considered a righteous gentile.
the Third book is:
A national bestseller with more than 370,000 copies in print, this is "the first book that anyone who wants to learn about Hitler or the war in Europe must read... a marvel of fact."--Newsweek

we hardly find political leaders giving speeches with this kind of an emotion. Adolf Hitler was an exceptionally able orator.

BEGINNING OF A LIFELONG ROMANCE...

“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance”

-Oscar Wilde

How many times in our life have we felt the need to be loved….the answer is often.. very often… indeed ‘ to love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence’.

But the more we go out to find love, the more deserted our life becomes. Love often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left opened, and the only love worthy to be named is “unconditional”.

In this urban society finding a true love and establishing a lifelong romance seems a shaggy dog story. People ‘fall’ for each other, then just like leaves shed off in autumn they ’split up’ . Going into a deeper thought doesn’t this seem an obscure idea????

You waste so much of your precious time for a person… its not just your time it’s a part of your life that you give to him/her. I ask you a question … why do you put yourself with so much pain?...why?. you are not born to suffer, you are born to be happy and utilize this life that the almighty provided, to spread happiness.

After a so called ‘break up’ with your so called ‘lover’ you are left as a solitary soul in this mean world…and then you ask yourself WHY ME????.. but, be sure no one on this earth can provide you an answer for this…. Because ‘your life is a product of your actions’….

Mark my words there is no need for you to take in so much and feel lonely or aggressive or like a chick in this “mean world”. But then where lies love??.... who should you love blindly??.... the answer is simple….LOVE YOUR SELF…. And it will never let you down.

The more immersed you are into your soul, the more time you spend with yourself, doing all that you love you will see that gradually that every day of yours will start with a smile and every night will end with a laugh. You will be the happiest person on earth. Believe me … its true!...

Love yourself, live your heart,

And soon you will be able to make cakes from tarts.

ITS NOT EASY TO LOVE...

It is not easy to love and to care,

It takes courage to dare,

When the one you love the most,

Lives far across the coast,

Its not easy to love…

Even though you miss him,

Yet you can just feel him,

When you need him,

You discover that chances of meeting him are dim,

Its not easy to love…

His memories begin to haunt you,

And you remember, his love for you,

If you wish to send a token of love,

Circumstances don’t permit you to do the above

Its not easy to love…

You remember when he held your hand,

And promised that through the time he will stand,

You remember each small little thing,

Every moment seems to give inkling,

Its not easy to love…

IS IT EAST OVER WEST NOW???

It is common to see people of east as an itinerant of west. Of course….it is the walk of the town now… the trio bangla, gadi, aur paisa has become a prerequisite for a grand life… we owe this to our British rulers who left that tinge of chic after they went… ‘angrez to chale gayee par angreezee chod gayee’ .

But now is the time to witness a reverse osmosis… the west is drifting towards east…it indeed is.. The cultural heritage of India is attracting people from the west. Recently, the famous supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband Seal celebrated their 3^rd anniversary by reuniting via an Indian wedding. It is reported that the duo was so much magnetized by Benaras and its vedic splendor that they decide to call upon a pandit all the way from India and a ‘mini benaras’ was created along mexico’s costa careyes beach.

Similarly Angelina jolie who visited India for shooting “ a mighty heart” was astounded by India’s beauty and said that India was much more diverse than what she had heard.

And of course our bollywood gang is not lagging behind they have not left any stone unturned to depict the extraordinary talents of Indians.. be it “ namesty London”, “swadesh”, “om jai jagdesh”, or out Indian ‘krish’ who is an consummate combination of superman, batman, and Spiderman. Then comes our mighty brigade of millionaires…the Mittals, the Ambanis..So doesn’t that show that we are somewhat elevated than them. At this point of time it would not be wrong to imagine a 100 yr rule of east over west…. Doesn’t that sound intresting?????. .. when our future generations will read in their history
