Dr. Andrew Greene: The One-Trick Pony

Dec 16, 2021

Andrew Greene champions equality, the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQ rights, civil rights, and environmental causes. His Twitter handle and current profile picture even suggest that he holds a medical doctorate, giving the impression of a well-rounded individual.

However, spending just 5 to 10 minutes on either his Twitter (@AndrewGreene864) or Facebook (mookie864) profile quickly reveals a stark contrast. Andrew's online persona reflects traits of aggression, arrogance, narcissism, and an unabashed self-righteousness. 

Despite his stylish Ali G appearance and frequent use of petulant language, Andrew Greene is not in his teens or early 20s, nor is he a genuine doctor (unless discussing ladies private parts is customary in his part of the woods). Instead, he is a 36-year-old man from South Carolina who identifies himself as a “political scientist” on his Facebook page.

And no, I did not intentionally create a caricature of a crazy man with tin foil wrapped around his head. Andrew Greene actually enjoys posting pictures of himself online with foil wrapped around his head while impersonating "republicans and Trump supporters."

Anyway, moving on.

Andrew Greene is a member of the self-proclaimed MJ family and vehemently defends Michael Jackson's practice of repeatedly sharing a bed with a series of unrelated boys. He refers to those who question Jackson's motives as part of a sadistic cult, paedophile fantasists, and even accuses them of being paedophiles themselves.

Below are some examples from his Twitter profile (click to enlarge).

In a Facebook video from January 1, 2020, Andrew Greene extends New Year wishes to the MJ fam and non-fans, except for the “paedophile fantasists cult” whom he hopes “suffers nothing but misery.” 

Yes, I know what you're thinking! Is this guy an advocate for anything besides his own overinflated ego?

As far as I know, I have never had any interaction with Andrew Greene on Twitter. I only learned of his account when it was announced that he would be joining Taj Jackson's research and production team for his yet-to-be-released documentary: The Truth Runs Marathons (now rebranded as Righting HIStory).

Though Andrew Greene likes to manipulate people with misinformation when it comes to Jackson’s “innocence,” he also has a tendency to block anybody whom he feels threatened by, or more specifically, those who know more information about Michael Jackson’s behaviour with boys than he would dare to research.

Those who have the privilege of engaging with Andrew Greene on Twitter are often subjected to a barrage of repetitive self-righteous spam, with a heavy focus on authority figures such as “child protection and intelligence agencies,” who all, according to him, dissolved any theory of Jackson being a predatory child sex abuser.

Here's an example:

It doesn't sit well with reality. These type of people literally can't fathom the thought of an adult sharing a 2,000sq ft room without sexual arousal. What did we learn from the child protection and intelligences agencies investigating into Jackson? There was nothing there.

See original tweet here.

Most stans have a tendency to cling onto any speck of dust that “exonerates” Jackson of wrongdoing, but Andrew Greene may be the champion when it comes to one claim: that the FBI investigated and cleared Jackson.

Okay, you’ve already heard that claim a million times before, but Andrew Greene goes one step further and posts a sub-40-second video featuring a very professional-looking man, confirming the recently released FBI files exonerated Jackson of being a child predator, no ifs or buts. Andrew has such confidence in this very short video that it's not unusual to see it being posted as many as 10-15 times per month on his Twitter account. In fact, while writing this article, he posted it just 4 hours ago.

Due process and the same American intelligence agencies that found Saddam Hussein hiding in a hole in the middle of nowhere, but found nothing in Jackson, just called you a fantasist.

See original tweet here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't American intelligence services believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction?

I was unaware of the video until Andrew Greene began spamming it across Twitter. I assume it was released shortly after the heavily retracted and nearly incomprehensible FBI files on Michael Jackson were made public in December 2009. Upon initial inspection, the video seems quite convincing; not only is it featured on a major US television show, but the knowledgeable appearance of the grey-haired man in the suit adds to its credibility. This, at least, is the impression one is meant to have.

Watch Dr. Andrew Greene’s, sub- 40 second version below.

However, after just 5 minutes on YouTube, I discovered the complete video, which unsurprisingly exceeds 40 seconds. The segment is from Good Morning America and is 6 minutes and 15 seconds long, featuring interviews from two ex-FBI agents, Jim Clemente and Brad Garrett. They assert that there was never any operational investigation into child sex abuse, and that the FBI only supported local law enforcement, who ironically charged him with child molestation. Furthermore, the grey-haired man in the suit is not an impartial third party, but rather the long-term Jackson family lawyer, Brian Oxman. He was not only dismissed from the 2005 case by Thomas Mesereau, but also had his license revoked in 2012 for "dishonest and unethical conduct, including failing to advise the bar after he had been fined by a judge and commingling personal funds in a client trust account."

In the 6-minute-plus video, Jim Clemente and Brad Garrett emphasize that the FBI's involvement was restricted to matters that surpassed the capabilities of local law enforcement, such as examining Jackson's computer hard drives and locating potential witnesses. The FBI also played a role in evaluating whether the trial was susceptible to a terrorist attack. Furthermore, it is noted that it is not unusual for public figures to have FBI files, often due to individuals making threats against them, as was the case with Jackson.

Watch the full Good Morning America version below.

Though I have already thoroughly covered the FBI investigation, or more specifically, the complete lack of it (post 1 and post 3), I'll repeat what was stated on their website here:

"Michael Jackson (1958-2009) was a famous singer and entertainer. Between 1993 and 1994 and separately between 2004 and 2005, Jackson was investigated by California law enforcement agencies for possible child molestation. He was acquitted of all such charges. The FBI provided technical and investigative assistance to these agencies during the cases. The Bureau also investigated threats made against Mr. Jackson and others by an individual who was later imprisoned for these crimes. These investigations occurred between 1992 and 2005."

And from an FBI podcast:

"That’s Dave Hardy, chief of the FBI’s Freedom of Information Program, who says that while FBI didn’t investigate Jackson, the files now available show the FBI working with other agencies."

The FBI files are essentially a muddle of limited and heavily retracted information gathered by the Santa Barbara and LA police departments, along with the FBI's analysis of Jackson's computer hard drives and videotapes, which was conducted under the supervision of the Santa Barbara police department. Additionally, the files include references to Frank Paul Jones, a man who made threats against Michael and Janet Jackson. There are even screenshots from a British tabloid featuring Terry George's claim that Michael Jackson engaged in phone conversations of a sexual nature with him. It's important to note that the files do not prove innocence or guilt, particularly because there was never an investigation by the FBI concerning child sex abuse.

Brian Oxman consistently misrepresents the truth in the video, but as a long-standing family attorney (or former), it's not surprising that he would maintain that Michael was a wonderful and "innocent" man. This is the same individual who asserted that an insurance company covered the substantial multi-million dollar Jordan Chandler settlement, rather than Jackson himself, which was ultimately proven to be false.

It's unclear whether Andrew Greene manipulated the video himself or obtained it from another apologist, but regardless, the video constitutes a purposeful form of misinformation that exposes the morally questionable nature of the fake doctor. Furthermore, the video violates Twitter's regulations regarding "synthetic and manipulated media policy."

Twitter state:

"You may not share deceptively altered media on Twitter in ways that mislead or deceive people about the media's authenticity where threats to physical safety or other serious harm may result."

And Twitter will remove or label any media content that’s been: 

"Substantially edited in a manner that fundamentally alters its composition, sequence, timing, or framing."

While it's debatable whether he's broken the first rule, there can be no denying that his video should, at the very least, be labelled as misleading. However, reporting this video is not a simple process. Twitter only permits users in Australia, South Korea, and the United States to report misleading videos. Moreover, as this feature is still in the experimental phase, there's no guarantee that Twitter will take action against this particular video or any others.

The most peculiar aspect of Andrew Greene is the fact that he joined Twitter in October 2015. While I haven't reviewed every single tweet of his, I did examine the majority of his 2018 posts and found no evidence of obsessive misinformation or the "FBI" video. In fact, I only found 2 tweets related to the Jackson family, one acknowledging Joe Jackson's passing and another acknowledging Michael Jackson's birthday. Perhaps Andrew quickly realised there was a lot of attention to be had for his overinflated ego, thus he jumped on the Michael Jackson was "innocent" bandwagon after the release of Leaving Neverland.

As is often the case with posts from Michael Jackson supporters, there is a substantial dose of irony. Andrew Greene enjoys labelling individuals critical of Jackson as paedophile fantasists or even as paedophiles themselves, yet his Facebook page is filled with dubious claims, including a declaration of donating $30,000 to his favourite political party, ownership of a speedboat, a large house, multiple vehicles, and of course a photoshopped image of himself wearing a stethoscope in a medical setting. 

I couldn't say for certain, but I get the impression that Andrew is the real fantasist. But hey, what do I know?
