Michael Jackson is often described by those who knew or worked with him as the ultimate dreamer. As interviews with him also reveals, the late King of Pop truly believed in a better future that could be made possible if all of us acknowledged the changes that need to be made and then operate them accordingly. According to The Sun and an older taped interview, Michael also believed he could have changed Hitler had he been given the chance.

Speaking with close friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach who, in turn, spoke to the tabloid, Michael revealed he held Hitler in high regard as far as his orator skills went. To be able to get so many people to see things your way as Hitler did must only mean the person in question is nothing short of a genius, Michael believed. Be that as it may, the singer did not condone Hitler’s actions or ideology but rather thought he could have changed him because no one is born bad.

“Hitler was a genius orator. To make that many people turn and change and hate, he had to be a showman and he was.” Michael told the Rabbi during a taped discussion that the Rabbi showed to The Sun. When asked whether he felt he might have had some form of power over the dictator, Michael said he was certain he could have touched him in one way or another. “Absolutely. I know I could. You have to help them, give them therapy, teach them that somewhere, something in their life went wrong.” Michael said.

Aside from the fact that The Sun is somewhat trying to make it look like Michael actually worshipped Hitler starting from these two quotes alone, as several US publications point out, fans must know that the late singer truly believed that no one is all evil and that the solution to our many problems is within us. This is why he was so involved in charity campaigns and was doing his best to raise awareness on several issues that plague our society.

One of the notes that were recently found in Michael’s room and that seems to have been written just days before passing away in his sleep reads, “Love no violence ever! Remember a beautiful future promise of tomorrow,” as another British tabloid has recently learned.
