The Michael Jackson Estate / Lloyds's of London
« on: January 04, 2015, 11:09:47 AM »
It has been reported that AEG dropped their insurance claim with Lloyd's of London. However, it was reported last year just about this time, that Lloyd's of London reached a settlement with Michael Jackson's Estate. Does anyone have insight on the pretense for the settlement and if it was actually paid out?

Michael Jackson News / Recent Article in the Inquisitr
« on: January 02, 2015, 01:13:55 PM »
On December 31, 2014 Inquistitr ran an article titled, "MICHAEL JACKSON STILL ALIVE? MJ TRUTHERS CLAIM RECENT SIGHTINGS".

Inquisitr is an internationally recognized news website with a strong presence in the United States. Inquisitr publishes the latest news stories under an extensive range of categories with the power and resources of more than 60 writers. Currently Inquisitr is one of the top 2500 global websites and one of the top 1000 websites in the United States.   

More than 10,0000 million people visit and read Inquisitr each month. With more than 1,200,000 followers on Facebook and 38,000 followers on Twitter, Inquisitr articles are a part of everyday social circles. I read it everyday. It was founded in 2007, Brooklyn N.Y.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

What I find most intriguing about the article is the journalist who penned it. His name is John Thomas Didymus. John is a world class journalist based out of Lagos Nigeria. His area of expertise is Religion, Small Business, Global and Foreign Economics, Global and Foreign Politics, Global and Foreign Human Interest stories. I breifly looked over 800 of John's articles and determined that he primarily is a serious minded journalist. He does not write a lot of "fluff".  If you go to this link at ALL VOICES  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login you will find 872 of his articles. You will not find anything remotely like, "MICHAEL JACKSON STILL ALIVE? MJ TRUTHERS CLAIM RECENT SIGHTINGS".

To me this is wee odd. I am curious as to what compelled John to write an article of this nature. I am even more curious as to why Inquisitr released it on the eve of 2015.

There may be nothing to this and then maybe there is. The only connection I have now is that Grace Rwaramba like John, is from Nigeria. Perhaps John and Grace are linked?

In addition, John has written a book titled, "Confessions of God - The Gospel According to John Thomas Didymus." In the opening pages of the book there are two scriptures from the Bible. They read as follows:

"I am John, your brother. I share your suffering, ruling, and endurance because of Jesus. I was [exiled] on the island of Patmos because of God's word and the testimony about Jesus." - Revelation 1:9

"The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth" - 2 John 1:1

Not sure what to make of this however, I plan to download the book this weekend. It is all a very minor hunch. But for me worth looking into.

Oh yeah, the article...Judge for yourselves... You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Revisiting Old Stuff / Revisiting - "Awaiting The Awakening"
« on: December 30, 2014, 08:46:58 AM »
Below is a very profound piece that was posted on December 9th 2009, 5 years ago. I have printed a copy for myself to read and study yet again. My purpose is to see how I have evolved through all of this...join me if you will.


Title: AWAITING THE AWAKENING by TNZ
 Post by: ~Souza~ on December 09, 2009, 03:30:04 PM Well, with this post from TNZ I actually agree. It's interesting, well written and the message is clear.


AWAITING THE AWAKENING

This article is dedicated to those who whimper through days and nights on forums, that they are tired, that they are bored, that they are fed up with clues and investigations, that everybody is trying to deceive them, to mock and to mess up. To those who, day by day, keep on complaining, “understanding nothing” and asking “what does it mean for I don’t know what to think” instead of reading books, watching intelligent movies and using Wikipedia in the last resort. To all the others moral weary and intellectually weak people.


Do you ever estimate the quality of your anticipation?
Has it ever come in upon your mind that you perhaps are not worth what you are waiting for?
Do you ever wonder that you not only expectants, but there is also someone who is expecting something from you in return?


Last five months are beginning to take an effect so, telling straight, this effect is much worse than expected. It is not about your fatigue and exhaustion with expectation of Mr. Jackson.
It’s all about his vain pains and lost labors to set people thinking, to awake sleeping brains, to break up patterns of common perception.
It’s all about his deceived expectations of comprehension; about his unavailing efforts to become conceived on the very deep and delicate level of his artistic individuality that could not be expressed by words.
It’s all about narrow-mindedness and ignorance that negative all his attempts to collaborate with his audience, to bring it to understand, to realize, to find an answers and to decide something for their selves. To become something more than simply yawning passenger, waiting in queue for a fairy flight that might carry him directly to the very elevated altitudes of enlightenment.

The truth is that there is no such flight, there is no such plane, there is no such place on the earth where heaven rains ready answers for eternal questions -- WHAT IS DEATH, WHAT IS LOVE, WHERE IS TRUTH.

There is no such Promised Land where these answers come with ease, pain(s)lessly, anguishlessly. And there is no such anesthesia throughout the entire world to deaden the pain of knowing.

We highly recommend everybody who didn’t get it yet to quit you web browser and to throw up the game. There is no use for you. For you, there is nothing and nobody to wait for. Moreover, there is nobody anymore - to wait for you.

You’ve already knew what you wanted - Mr. Jackson is alive and well, he is gonna be back. What else do you need? The date and the exact time? So what’s next? What are you going to do then? What’s the propose of your further participation? Go live your normal life. So nobody will mess you up anymore, nobody will blow your mind out, nobody will disturb your rest with this annoying brain training.

Do you feel like you are victims of manipulation? Because you used to be victims. The victims of your selves, the victims of circumstances, the victims of everything. Nobody messes you up better than you do. Nobody fools you better. And nobody can help you, but you. Because you cannot even see the difference between the helpful lesson and the manipulation.

What you are actually waiting for? For Mr. Jackson? For BAMSDAY? For the truth? For manna from heaven? Do you know it? No, you do not know. Your mind is too awkward to understand it and too coward to accept it. You are spreading LOVE and rejoicing at human (Evan Chandler’s) death at the same time. You are cooking a schnitzel and at the same time grieving at animals in the ZOO. You’re going to see THIS IS IT for the tenth time when you might spend the same money for somebody who is in sore need of help. You can’t get that the long HEAL THE WORLD way begins from yourself.

You judge the blind majority considering Michael Jackson is dead.
They are blind indeed, but they unlike you don’t pretend they are not. You have neither gratitude nor wise to realize that you are enriching with unprecedented experience now, that you are given such special unexampled attention like never before. Though you keep on complaining and exposing your parochialism and profound ignorance.

You are told the truth between the lines, you are told the beautiful fairy tales, you are carried through the greatest adventure, you are always welcome to be surprised and to go further. But neither truth, no fairy tales are good enough for you. You want everything to be easy. Easier. More easier. The easiest. You don’t want to grow up to the answers, but you want the answers to grow down to you.

During this time, he has shown you who you really were. Slovenly in thought, sluggish and shiftless, unintelligent and unable. You never got nothing besides banality and obviosity. You never learnt nothing in spite of you were tried to learn. You never did nothing to raise you bar a little bit higher than your daily nit picking.
You ain’t got nothing at all.


We hope the man, who broke away all deceptive illusions at one stroke, probably will find enough courage to accept the unpleasant truth. The truth about his own audience essential to admass philistine society he hardly rebels against.

Even if he wants, he will probably never say the cruel words we are saying. Though he has clearly realized that you were not those to be open with.

You always orders to him ways of “he would” or “would not”, because you won't take the way he truly is. He must correspond exactly with your perception of “HE WOULD”, mustn’t he? What if he must not? Will you betray and abjure him like you abjure him now by your incomprehension?
This is not he who you love, but you.
You spread love via web you ladle it out blindly. Thoughtless selfish repeaters, do you ever ask your selves what this word means? Do you ever ask your selves what right you have to spread LOVE?

You are waiting maniacally for the King to come back immediately, but think WHO OF YOU HAVE DESERVED HIS COMING?

You don’t appreciate that the very same Mr. Jackson, the King of Everything You Want, you used to see on screen and on stage, is now closer to you more than ever. He is playing with you, thinking of you, spending his time on you.
You don’t realize that when he comes back, this fascinating adventure will be officially certified as nonexistent, you will see him on TV again, he will belong to all and to no one at the same time. Reachless and unachievable as befits a King.

We would like to express our boundless appreciation and profound gratitude to our readers we actually in love with. To all those who dare to think, to seek, to study, to conceive, to wonder and not to give up.
To all those who do not allow their brains to eat its own flesh and keep on writing thoughtful, substantial and serious-minded comments, letters and messages.
You are all the very raison d'etre for us. You are all a prime cause of our being here. Our real treasure.
Please keep on being an exception from the rule of common illiberality, frequently whitewashed by “human nature”. You give us every reason not to give up the idea that the true human nature is in restless aspiration to surpass so-called human nature over and over again.

We are more than glad that some of our friends translate theory into practice and enter charity into their own must-do list. Isn’t it really great? What could be better?

So even if only hundred of the million learn to look deeper to discover more; learn to expand their perception of the reality, learn to raise questions and to find right answers by their selves, learn to love, but not only to spread acronyms -- the mission may be considered as accomplished. Even so, the Strangest Man on the Planet has ‘died’ not in vain.

To all of you and especially to Pat Mj_Still_Alive who inspired us to write this article --
Very Many Thanks



LETTER FROM PAT



I'm not talking only about Michael, but about a situation in general, when those in charge exploit their power in their personal interest. The thing that irritates me most is that there are few - very few- voices raised against corruption. And in the meantime racism, homophobia, violence and intolerance are destroying our way of life. It 's hard to be a part of minority trying to make its voices heard. Especially when you feel that people around you are content with truth precooked and ask no questions.

And they don’t want to see, not even outrage anymore. It 's scary. Everyone thinks of his self-interest, people walk fast down the street with downcast eyes and ears to the phone. And then you see all these people on the street, at the bar, while shopping, talking on the bus, waving, gesturing like just escaped the madhouse. Instead of looking into each other's eyes and exchange at least a smile, they enter into another dimension, involving more or less indirectly all those who cross. We can almost see these pieces of sick conversations hanging in the air, like balloons tied to the wrists of children.

There is thousand things to do and it is a tough job, but as I said I did not give up. Other important thing is that there are only the reality shows or programs on TV where you can see tits and asses, that fuck you up after a day at work. If you have a job yet. So it's all right there on television they try to calm us down, that the crisis is now coming to an end, TV transmits services over the coming holidays: what we'll do, what we'll give, just to be sure we will not even decide what to put under our Christmas trees.

I don’t give up because I am convinced that a voice from the pack maybe enough to wake the other. We should not heal the world. We must heal ourselves. Our planet has existed for thousands of years and will continue to do so. WE are at risk of extinction and sometimes I wonder whether it is good. How much energy we waste every day without even realizing it? And there are just a few people I continue to follow concerning Michael.

I think that only very few of them have really opened their eyes. They don’t understand that they didn’t understand HIM. They are racing to discover the truth and spend hours at the computer to investigate without wonder if they could spend all this time, all these hours of sleep lost, in a better way. Because in the end there will NOT be the award for the "best fan of Michael". And even if, who cares? Let me tell you this blasphemy: WHO CARES! His return will not change the individual life of any of us. He will not come to our house to solve our own problems and troubles.

Those who go crazy on him don’t end up in the newspapers as "those who understood the truth." Sometimes we are using hoax as an excuse for not making contact with ourselves, and we lose the opportunity to grow our soul. We do not have much time left and we have not learned yet to work together for a common purpose that goes beyond our individuality. A purpose that goes further.


ESTRAGON
What exactly did we ask him for?
VLADIMIR ...
Were you not there?
ESTRAGON
I can't have been listening.
VLADIMIR
Oh . . . Nothing very definite.
ESTRAGON
And what did he reply?
VLADIMIR
That he'd see.
ESTRAGON
That he couldn't promise anything.

Other Odd Things / Meeting MJ
« on: December 30, 2014, 05:01:52 AM »
I am sure that this has come up in the past...

Has anyone ever met or been in the same room with MJ?

I have twice. The first time was backstage post a performance with he and his brothers. It was an routine autograph session, no Q&A. The second time was at a fundraising event, the name I shall not disclose. Both he and Whitney Houston were there. That event was open for Q&A, but I chose to stay on the sideline and quietly observe. He had so many people bombarding him for photo opportnities, autographs and hugs. It was organized and controlled chaos. People were so excited and screaming his name and waving from every direction. I felt very sad for him...

Revisiting Old Stuff / Paramedic Testimony Confused
« on: November 02, 2014, 01:54:58 PM »
I was going over some old notes and ran across the testimony of Martin Blount.

This may have already been discussed, but truly puzzles me to this day...

On June 25th, 2009 allegedly five emergency responders went to Carolwood.

1. Martin Blount (Ambulance Driver, Paramedic)
2. Richard Senneff (Paramedic, Ambulance Passenger)
3. Jeff Mills (Fire Captain, arrives by fire truck)
4. Brett Haring (Fire Fighter, arrives by fire truck)
5. Mark Goodwin (Fire Fighter, Paramedic, arrives by fire truck)

During the Conrad Murray trial, Martin Blount testified that when he entered MJ's bedroom he saw a gentleman laying fully on the bed. Blount stated that Mark Goodwin and Brett Haring assisted Dr. Murray "helping the individual on to the floor". Blount stated that he recognized the individual to be Michael Jackson.

I thought on the 911 call that the operator directed that MJ be moved from the bed to the floor so that CPR could be administered correctly?

And I thought on the same 911 call, Alvarez gave the impression that MJ was moved to from the bed to the floor all while the paramedics were in route. Have I missed something?

Did the paramedics move MJ from the floor to the bed and from the bed, back to the floor?

Other Odd Things / Grace Rwaramba Twitter
« on: October 26, 2014, 10:31:23 AM »
On Twitter, Grace Rwaramba has an account that is locked. However, another Twitter account has emerged with her name on it that is open to the public.  I have been observing it since late June 2014. The first tweet is June 28, 2014. I do not know if it is actually her. There are a few photos, including one with her and a baby and a selfie.

What caught my eye is that of 160 of the accounts that she allegedly follows, 47 of them are major media and journalism outlets (or closely related). In my vivid imagination I suppose that Grace would like to be closely wired to major news outlets in the event a major story breaks. Who knows...

In addition Grace and Latoya are mutual followers. Grace also follows Tito and Jermaine, along with a few extended Jackson family members.

There are a couple of other quirks that I noticed. But it is all continued speculation. Otherwise, I do not know what to think. I will continue to observe. And perhaps this may be useful to someone else...

Excerpt below...

"So now, conspiracy theorists have one more plot to debunk, add to, or pick apart.  In a recent posting, MJtruthcaptainBob said, “The truth is out there and we, the world’s greatest fans of Michael Jackson will work hard to expose it.  We owe it to the greatest entertainer in the world.  He never gave up on us, and we will never give up on him,” he added."

Does anyone know anything about the track history? The use of samples? Writer and producer industry affiliations? Any origins of technical aspects of production that you can think of.

Thanks so much.

The reason is quite simple.

After five years it is time to bring some sense of order to the mounds of information that has been discussed. The objective is to create a systematic succession of threads that include explanations, interpretations and impressions of specific topics free of conversation and exchange of thought. Our goal is to keep the thread clean.

A DO NOT REPLY ZONE will allow information and topics to be catalogued for research and points of reference.

Eventually, we will have a compilation of threads that will enhance our focus. 

Keep conversational going, but please respect the DO NOT REPLY ZONES.

I am going to open up three DO NOT REPLY ZONES and I look forward to others opening too.

Please share your commentary on the following topic…

What did Michael Jackson mean when he said, "Take care of the planet, we have four years to get it right or else it's irreversible then...we're done"?
