Michael Jackson Foreign Media

​

Account

Jurgen Todenhofer has charities, was a former German politician, executive at Burda Media (one of Europe’s largest publishing companies), journalist, and has extensive funds to preserve his agenda.  Upon, Vincent Amen speaking to Freddy Todenhofer, his son, it was disclosed, at an early age, Jurgen went on trial for inciting war within a country.  Could Freddy have been telling the truth.  Freddy disclosed his father, Jurgen Todenhofer, was found not guilty by a Court. Todenhofer had an extensive network in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

Michael Jackson had a relationship with Jurgen Todenhofer and executive from Burda Media. Michael was having meetings with him prior to the trial of 2005 and attempted to engage in a contractual business relationship years prior.  Hubert Burda Media is a German media organization that controls many publications in Europe.  It is believed that Michael had a relationship with Todenhofer to have some control of his public opinion in Europe.

It was disclosed by Michael, to a Jackson employee, when Todenhofer had hosted Michael at his private residence, Todenhofer pushed his daughter to engage Michael in a sexual nature, she was undressed in his room.  Michael was not interested in Valerie, Jurgen’s daughter.  Valerie, then went on to date, Michael’s personal assistant at the time, a Jackson Employee.   The reason for this relationship, it is believed, to have knowledge of Michael’s extensive organization and to generate news articles through Burda’s large media network in Europe.  A Jackson Employee maintained the relationship with Jurgen/Burda Media in order to keep Michael in a positive light in European media.  It is believed that Michael engaged Burda to have a hand in European media and control news articles.  Michael and Todenhofer, both had their own agendas.

Years later, the War on Terror occurred, initiated by President Bush.  Todenhofer was the opposition to President Bush and The War on Terror.  Jurgen was also located in key cities in Iraq writing books about the U.S. led war and its effects on Iraq to further his agenda and possibly create instability for the U.S.  Each article and book opposed President Bush and the U.S.. Jurgen even took out a paid article in the New York Times to further his agenda opposing the war on terror.

In 2002, Michael wanted a Bambi Award and was offered a Bambi Award by Burda Media that controlled the European Award. This was negotiated by a Jackson Employee in order for Michael to receive this ward.  A Jackson Employee was dealing with Philip Welte at Burda Media to complete the process and was successful.  Michael received what he wanted and Burda received what they wanted, Michael Jackson’s publicity which would bring big ratings to the award show.  During this time, Michael traveled to Germany and dangled his child over the balcony. Causing public outrage in the United States.  The Jackson Camp worked to remove or keep European media from writing negative articles with use of Burda Media’s extensive network.

Prior to the Trial, Todenhofer’s children frequented the Neverland Valley Ranch.  Michael became paranoid that the Todenhofer’s were spies for Jurgen and Burda.  Michael instructed Dieter Weisner, was also paranoid to have private conversations with Vincent Amen regarding this. Michael wanted Vincent to speak to the Jackson Employee who was dating Jurgen’s daughter about this issue.  Unfortunately, the conversation did not occur.  Did Michael feel that his life would be exposed or did he want to use this opportunity to publicize himself in Europe further.  Now came The Michael Jackson Trial and European media wrote unfavorable articles regarding Michael.  The Jackson camp worked with Burda Media, with their extensive network in Europe, to remove negative articles and change negative articles to show Michael in a positive light.  Michael now had a hand in European media to control European public opinion.

In 2003-2004, in New York City, Jurgen met with a Jackson Employee.  Vincent Amen was invited to the meeting to discuss Jurgen’s book to be translated into English.  Jurgen was looking for an American with an analytic mind in order to assist him in completing his book.  Vincent Amen was asked if there was any interest.  Vincent declined due to the nature of the book due to its anti American sentiment and the negative view point of President Bush.

During the Michael Jackson Trial, Jurgen’s son, Freddy Todenhofer, was on an assignment for Jurgen, to go to Afghanistan.  U.S. forces were still in Afghanistan at the time.  It was disclosed that video was to be taken to film a documentary of Afghanistan.  Jurgen also had an extensive network in Afghanistan with relationships and charities.  Was it to counter U.S positions in Afghanistan to further Jurgen’s agenda to influence the media against the United States? The video footage returned to the United States and was converted to DVD by a company in New Jersey.  On the footage were people speaking in the native language, footage of soldiers and touring Afghan cities. Drug use was prevalent within the footage.  Was this footage for a documentary or another purpose? This is hard to be determined.  Was this for Journalistic appeal to write an article or could it be innocent footage? possibly.  Video footage digitally and DVD have been maintained.  Relating to Michael Jackson, Jurgen Todenhofer wanted Michael to get involved in Afghanistan.  Jurgen, as many associates of Michael, used the bait of a children’s charity in Afghanistan to get him to commit to Afghanistan.  Could Jurgen have used the publicity of Michael Jackson to complete Jurgen agenda in Afghanistan, countering U.S positions?

The last know project of Jurgen’s was to gain access to ISIS.  He achieved this goal and was featured on CNN in 2016.  This could of had a positive effect for the United States to understand ISIS.  However, the United States could have viewed this in another way.  This has yet to be determined.

In conclusion, Todenhofer may be just another journalist who followed the U.S. in all of its operations in the Middle East and Afghanistan and wrote articles and spoke out opposing President Bush and The War on Terror.  What is different, Jurgen has influence at a powerful German Media Company and European media contacts that influences European Public Opinion.  Individuals operate by patterns and have an agenda.  Could Jurgen be operating by his past pattern of inciting war, by effecting media in a negative way for the US. Could Jurgen plainly causing problems for the U.S by affecting positions in the countries where the United States held positions.  This is something to be determined and it can be questioned with the alliance to Michael Jackson, for the use of his publicity.

As an example, this would be as if Rupert Murdoch left his corporate office and went on journalistic adventures.  Then returning from the journalistic adventures and returning to the corporate office.  Then influencing his media empire that reports news to the public to his opinion.  This is biased media, that could have influence the public and further influencing political decisions of leaders.  Why should one persons opinion affect public opinion as in the Todenhofer situation and did it?  Or is this just the unethical behavior in foreign media that does not operate at the unbiased level of U.S. news.

Questions of Interest

There are many questions to be answered.  Was Todenhofer just operating as a journalist presenting the facts as a member of the press, with freedom of the press.  Why was he in every location the U.S. was in during the War on Terror writing opposing positions.  Was this innocence or not.  The one fact learned from Freddy, his son, about Jurgen Todenhofer being charged with inciting war in another country is a difficult fact to overcome.  Could Todenhofer have tried to do the same for the U.S. towards its U.S. opposition.  Or was inciting war in another country just plain journalism exposing a set of circumstances that cause instability for the countries involved.  Todenhofer was also a politician and could have influenced other leaders with his knowledge of politics.  Todenhofer may not have used Burda, but could he influence other media companies in Europe with his contacts within other media organizations, affecting European public opinion.  How did he gain access to Iraq, Afghanistan and ISIS, through political contacts or not? Is meeting with dictators for peaceful journalistic purposes as stated or for political reasons to oppose the United States.  Is Todenhofer mainly in Afghanistan for peaceful purposes with his children war orphanages? All this is yet to be determined.
