NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- ABC News has acquired voice mail messages from Michael Jackson in which the pop star blames a Jewish conspiracy for his financial woes.

"They suck ... they're like leeches ... I'm so tired of it," Jackson told former adviser Dieter Wiesner in one of the messages. "The Jews do it on purpose."

The message recorded by Jackson two years ago aired Tuesday on "Good Morning America," The New York Daily News reported Wednesday.

This is not the first brush with anti-Semitism for Jackson who, a decade ago, sang "Jew me/Sue me/Everybody do me/Kick me/Kike me" on the song "They Don't Care About Us."

The tapes were provided to ABC by attorney Howard King, who is representing Wiesner in a lawsuit with Marc Schaffel seeking to recoup millions of dollars they are allegedly owed by Jackson, who moved Bahrain after his acquittal in California of child molestation charges.
