Tape Recording Of Michael Jackson Pleading For Help

By Suparna Chakaraborthy

Michael Jackson
US journalist Daphne Barak, was handed over with a series of tapes which voiced Michael Jackson's voice , pleading of help. The tapes also described his fear for life. Reports say that Michael Jackson may be under the influence of drug while talking over the phone. The wordings and the tone give away his erotic mental state at the time of the conversation.

Barak reveals, "Some of Michael's closest confidants talked to me exclusively about his addictions - and provided audio tapes of Michael never heard before.These demonstrate different states of mind he was experiencing under the influence of pharmaceuticals."

The tapes date back to 2003, when a TV channel exposed MJ sharing his bed with kids.

The first tape heard MJ say, "It is Michael calling. It is very important, I want that 150 in that account for me, because... I am very concerned about my life. I am hearing a lot of stories that (name withheld) is still trying to sabotage (inaudible) me and I want to be in a different environment and, um, I've found a place that I like and now (inaudible) I want to be away for a while where they can't find me. So please help me, help (inaudible) help me, and, um, more important than (inaudible). We are brothers."

In a second, his voice is unclear and blur maybe due to medication. In this mail he spoke about some person whom he thinks belongs to Italian Mafia.

"It is Michael. Ahh, it is 4:30 in the morning here that's why I sound very sleepy (laughs) and I'm really worn out... but please check the message I left a day or so ago. I am very concerned. I don't trust that man. We think he's bad, we think he is Italian mafia. Please... we must be smarter than him. So please, help me with this. I need to get that, those funds so I can do that, I wanna be away. . . I don''t want to be in Neverland right now."

In his third message Michael Jackson again seems to be seeking money urgently.

"If you get this message call me immediately at 805 *** ****. What I want to talk to you about is very top - top secret... I need a German or Swiss bank... "

A little later Jackson calls again asking for cash and it seems he uses the word "Sun Screen", as a code word for money -

"I need to get those funds. I wanna be away... I don't wanna be in Neverland. I am very embarrassed. But, um, there should be that I have some finance that's coming up January, February 2nd, and um... that's why I, we need to have on Sun Screen to the account 150. Please don't be mad at me for... (inaudible) It's something that's very important to me and my family, because I'm (inaudible) that I'm being stalked and I think it is (name withheld)."

In another tape, MJ sounds deep into the influene of drug.

"I would love to work together, but as far as timing... The, uh, I really feel in my heart - we must move as fast as we can because the, on the film side of it, ah, I don't know if you have been reading the paper... but Marvel already have sold off their internet rights and the fact that stock is so low now.

They put out Spider-Man, now they got Incredible Hulk coming, they got X-Men 2 coming and they also got Spider-Man 2 coming. It is going to jump, it''s going to change! I mean, you know... and this huge frenzy for superheroes... and all the things we can do... I wanna get in before the stocks... we have to jump in now. The timing is perfect."

These tapes reveal another side of the rock star Michael Jackson. His fear for life, concern for finance and family seems evident. Though who was threatening him, why he wanted money and why he did not report about it is not known. The police is trying to get an insight into the matter.
