Rabbi Shmuley Boteach tries to redeem and justify himself as the book he has written ‘The Michael Jackson Tapes’ reignites the EVIL MEDIA WITCH HUNT that made Michael Jackson so so sad…with friends like these who needs enemies!
It was bizarre seeing this morning how hundreds of news sources on the Internet alleged that Michael Jackson admired Hitler and considered him a genius. Nothing could be further from the truth and these scandalous allegations are all based on a simple misrepresentation of a quote from Michael in my book The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul in Intimate Conversation. The book debuted only this morning on NBC’s “Today” Show (scroll down to watch). But before I even had the chance to discuss it in the first TV interview, this serious mis-characterization of Michael was spreading everywhere unchecked.
Here is what Michael actually said, as found in our conversations, which were recorded with Michael’s enthusiastic consent for the express purpose of publication in this book:
Hitler was a genius orator. He was [able] to make that many people turn and change and hate. He had to be a showman and he was. Before he would speak, he would pause, drink a bit of water, and then he would clear his throat, and look around. It was what an entertainer would do trying to work out how to play his audience. He would go into this fury of the first words he would say and he would hit them hard. But where did he come from? I know he failed school and he wanted to be an architect. He failed a lot of things. But I think it all happened in prison, the whole Mein Kampf thing, didn’t it?
Not only is there nothing controversial in what Michael is saying, but the point has been made by countless authoritative historians. Hitler was a master showman. He was indeed a brilliant orator who used his considerable charisma to stoke an inferno of hate. It is well known that he practiced his speeches in front of mirrors and had photographers take snapshots of him in different poses that he later studied to determine which were the most effective. He was an evil genius who employed every facet of a darkened soul to bring out the beast in man. And Michael is insightful in pointing out how Hitler studied his audience in order to gain mastery over them the way an entertainer would. It is very surprising that such a straightforward comment has become so controversial.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach releases recordings of conversations he had with the late King of Pop. Jackson fans had the opportunity to hear these never-before-released recordings of the Gloved One in his own words on Friday, Sept. 25 2009 on “Dateline,” when Rabbi Shmuley sat down with Meredith Vieira in an exclusive interview, prior to the release of his book: The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul in Intimate Conversation. The rabbi recorded these conversations with Jackson’s permission between 1999 and 2001.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach
JACKSON FANS…TALK TO ME? Has this man betrayed our dear Michael Jackson? Are profits being given to MJ’s children? How does the Jackson Family feel about this?

“It was Michael’s desperate wish that our conversations be produced and the book be published so that his heart might be known to a public he understood was greatly suspicious of him.“
That’s bullshit. Michael was an intensely private man. He wrote his own autobiography. If he had wanted the world to know his private thoughts, feelings and anguish, he had ample opportunity to do so. But he didn’t. I doubt Michael knew you were taping his conversations, much less urge you to publish his innermost thoughts. If he was so desperate, why did you wait till he’s dead? Because now he can’t sue you, right?
You are a bloodsucking leech, Shmuley. Why don’t you tell everyone the real reason why Michael dumped you? Because you stole money from the Heal the Kids Foundation, that’s why. And you call yourself a spiritual leader!
May God give you back a double dose of what you did to Michael Jackson.
Rabbi publishes a book about Michael Jackson
26-Sep-2009 Written by: Domonique Hume Rabbi makes book about Michael’s flaws, how sad.
Michael Jackson’s former adviser Rabbi Shmuley Boteach published a book. In the book he talks about Michael’s fear of growing old, him appearing to be abusing drugs, and cosmetic surgery about a decade before he died.
Before anyone purchases this book I want you to think, “Why did Michael shut Boteach out of his life?” Michael thought Boteach was his friend, but Boteach allegedly back stabbed him and stole money from his charity.
Everyone knows that Michael had no intention for any of his dirty laundry to be aired for millions to see. Boteach just wants to be known.
I thought that whenever you have a spiritual adviser all the information that is talked about between the adviser and the patient is confidential. Boteach if you think his book will make you famous you are a serious problems. All you will be getting is 10 minutes of fame. once your ten minutes is over everyone will forget who Rabbi Shumuley Boteach is. Have you ever heard “what goes around comes around”? well its true.
This just shows that you can never let your guide down because their is someone always ready to tackle you. Celebrities especially like Michael most of the time never have real friend. People will do anything for fame. If you are a real Michael fan you wouldn’t even think about buying his degrading book.
