Michael Jackson's dirty stage sock sells for nearly $9K at French auction - Jordan News
Michael Jackson's dirty stage sock sells for nearly $9K at French auction A dirty white sock once worn by the King of Pop has moonwalked its way back into the spotlight. اضافة اعلان The rhinestone-covered sock, worn by Michael Jackson during a 1997 show in the city of Nîmes, sold Wednesday for €7,688 — about $8,911 — at an auction house in southern France. The off-white stained sock, originally white and studded with crystal rhinestones, was discovered by a technician backstage after Jackson's HIStory World Tour performance. The sock was then preserved in a frame for 28 years, according to a French auctioneer. 'It really is an exceptional object — even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans,' auctioneer Aurore Illy told AFP. The sock was worn during Jackson's tour, which hit 35 countries and included 82 shows. Footage from it shows him performing 'Billie Jean' in the sparkling footwear. Auctioneers had estimated the item to be between €3,000 and €4,000, but it nearly doubled expectations. Though Jackson's legacy remains controversial due to longstanding child molestation allegations — which he and his estate denied — the market for his memorabilia continues to thrive. A Macau casino shelled out $350,000 in 2009 for the glittery glove he wore during his first televised moonwalk in 1983. In 2023, a Paris buyer paid over $80,000 for a fedora Jackson wore before that same performance. Months later, a black-and-white leather jacket from his 1984 Pepsi ad sold for $306,000. Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 from a fatal drug overdose. NYP

Canada rejects allegations of arms exports to 'Israel'
On Saturday, Canada's government firmly reiterated its ban on military exports that could be used in Gaza, dismissing a recent report alleging ongoing arms shipments from Canada to 'Israel', Anadolu Agency reported. Since January 2024, Canada has refused to issue any new permits for controlled goods that might be deployed in Gaza, Foreign Minister Anita Anand emphasized. 'Not one has been approved,' she stated. Moreover, the Canadian government froze all existing permits in 2024 related to military components that could potentially be used in Gaza, and these remain suspended today, Anand added. The law explicitly forbids any company from exporting controlled goods without a valid permit, with strict penalties, including fines, seizures, and criminal charges, ready to be enforced against violators. 'We will not allow Canadian-made weapons to contribute to this conflict in any form,' the minister affirmed. Following an examination of the July 29, 2025, report accusing Canada of continuing military exports to 'Israel', Anand described several claims as 'misleading' and a 'significant misrepresentation of the facts.' Specifically, the items identified as 'bullets' were, in reality, paintball-style projectiles paired with equipment that renders firearms incapable of firing traditional rounds. 'These cannot be used in combat, and if they were, they would require a permit that would not be granted,' Anand clarified. She further noted that no mortars from Canadian manufacturers have been shipped to 'Israel', either directly or indirectly, since permits were suspended. The contested July 29 report was compiled by researchers from four NGOs: World Beyond War, the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, and Independent Jewish Voices. It cited Israel Tax Authority data showing Canadian-labeled military weapon parts and ammunition entering Israel.
