Hoax Videos / A museum exposition in Paris....
« on: October 08, 2013, 05:39:51 PM »
This video seems, legit, but on one hand it doesn't....it's about a new exposition held in Paris. 
Though I have watched a few times, now, I feel like something is off.  If I am wrong,
please feel free to move it over to HoaxBook maybe? I think people would be interested in
knowing about it, was not sure where to post...the video is interesting and I think holds some
sort of hoax value for sure...but don't know what yet.  Here it is:

Other Theories / Alternate Reality Game (ARG)
« on: October 02, 2012, 12:56:26 PM »
I recently joined the hoaxbook group for Reasons and Theories.  I have long suspected a connection to
This Is It being some sort of ARG (alternate reality game).  I don't think the entire thing can fall under
that title.  However, I feel parts of it mirror the core basics strong enough.  I felt it would be worthwhile
to have a full/dedicated place for discussion on the subject.  Perhaps together we can realize some of the
more intricate things that must have taken place in order for This Is It to some to fruition.  The link to
the discussion board on hoaxbook is this:

I will post most of my findings there, to keep it streamlined.  If I see more folks are interested here, I will begin
to post here as well (let me know what you would prefer). 
I know I prefer the forum style over book....just because I am still unsure of all that book
can do.  I do not facebook and don't know the navigations too well.  But, the group was up and going, so I wanted
add to the discussions there.  I do have a couple of interesting things to discuss....I hope you will help me with this : ) 
If it turns out this is the correct spot to discuss and dig around the subject....great. 

Thanks guys.....you're the best!

AEG, owner of LA's Kings, Staples arena, for sale
By ANDREW DALTON | Associated Press – 41 mins ago


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anschutz Entertainment Group, the owner of the Staples Center arena and the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, and the top contender to build a stadium and bring the NFL back to Los Angeles, is up for sale, its parent company said Tuesday.
The Denver-based Anschutz Co. said in a statement that it is "commencing a process" to sell the subsidiary known as AEG and had hired Blackstone Advisory Partners as an adviser.
It wasn't immediately clear how far along the company is in the sale process, or whether it has entertained any offers, but the price for AEG could be well into the billions.
The sale would mean a major ground shift in sports and entertainment in Los Angeles and around the world.
AEG's holdings also include pro soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy, part-ownership of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, and major entertainment and real estate holdings in downtown Los Angeles. Outside of L.A., AEG owns Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo and New York's Barclay's Center, the new home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. It also owns arenas in Sweden, China and Australia.
The sale would also throw uncertainty into LA's nearly two-decade attempt to bring the NFL back to the city. The City Council is considering the approval of plans for Farmers Field, a downtown stadium proposed by AEG.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said he has long known of the possibility of a sale, and both Denver billionaire Phillip Anschutz and AEG President Tim Leiweke have assured him the city's NFL hopes will remain the same.
"I have worked with both Phil Anschutz and Tim Leiweke for years to bring a football team to Los Angeles. I speak to both of them on a regular basis and I have known about this potential sale for some time," the mayor said in a statement Tuesday night. "I have the commitment from both of them that this won't affect plans for an NFL team to return to Los Angeles in the near future and so will not affect my support for moving ahead with Farmers Field."
Councilwoman Jan Perry, whose district includes the proposed stadium site, said she did not know about a pending sale but agreed that it wouldn't have adverse effects on courting an NFL team.
"The city has done a good job of protecting the taxpayer's interest in negotiating an agreement," Perry told The Associated Press, "so whoever steps into the shoes of Mr. Anschutz will have the same obligations."
Perry said the move "arguably is very positive" because she suspected it could lead to an enthusiastic new partner anxious to get in on the city's NFL prospects.
The potential sale was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
AEG transformed the Los Angeles landscape with the building of Staples Center and the later addition of the LA Live entertainment complex, helping to revitalize the city's long-neglected downtown and bring new energy and several championships to its sports teams.
Opening in 1999, the Staples Center is among the world's busiest arenas. It hosted six playoff games in four days for its main tenants — the NBA's Lakers and Clippers, and the NHL's Kings, who won their first Stanley Cup in June.

TMZ Discussion / TMZ & How They Play With Believers
« on: July 16, 2012, 01:03:11 PM »
Per the discussion about the jacket, here is a thread that we can plainly just
list out all the things that make it seem like TMZ is just playing with us.   
If something seems interesting, just ask for a link, or go search for it. 
Things that made me think twice about TMZ and playing with us are:

-the walking casket photo
-the rip CURLS headline
-Harvey's, "....if Michael were dead, I mean he's dead...."

I know there's a ton more.......just thought I'd start.....
what about it guys?  What do you think?

Michael Jackson in Court - The things they accused what Michael Jackson did to kids at Neverland Ranch should never ever happen.

This is in the comment area below picture:

Brandon Penny ·  Top Commenter
This picture of MJ in court is from MJ vs Marcel Avram trial (2002), for never performed, so.called Millenium gigs in 1999/2000..., it had nothing to do with anything regarding kids or neverland, and what Michael never did to kids!

He was acquitted of all (any) charges he was ever accused, in fact only 2x, and both charges were proved as conspiracy by con men, there were all the same people involved in both cases 1993/2003, the same family schemes, the same psychiatrist, the same lawer, te same investigators, the same District Attorney, the same reporter Diane Dimond with the super extra special private and confidential info about the cases, the same scheme of charges, teh same pattern of extortion... and so on..., the conspirator did it on purpose!
And now the whole world knows it, or can know it, because there are no boundaries...

References & Similarities / 7 Layers of 7 Things Outline
« on: April 18, 2012, 12:08:22 PM »
I have been thinking about this for a while now.  It would make sense to me that this hoax was truly planned out...from day one.  Although, most of it now, has taken on the organic form and flows freely in all directions.  In the beginning months, I think there had to be directions....road maps if you like.  So, given that, I started to think what if I were to plan this?  I would have a plan, an outline of what to do.  Given that Michael's favorite number is 7, I based things around that.  I came up with a plan that has 7 layers of 7 things each.  It has 7 main points, under each point there are 7 sub-points.  The structure is self-evident and takes on a logical approach to making sure the seeds were planted for the hoax to grow into what we have today.  It's quite possible the hoax started years ago.  That what we saw June 25th was a full grown tree so to speak.  But, to the hoax world here, June 25th was just the sapling...the beginning of growth.  We are now seeing a fully grown tree with very deep roots of hoax clues and slip-ups. 
This outline gives the hoax some sort of structure, like a blueprint.  I filled in some of what I think might be correct listings.  I purposely didn't fill in where it was pointed to direct persons.  This is not about finger pointing, name calling, or anything close to that.  It's about giving structure and trying to see if I could bring this hoax into focus for myself.  Like I said, I have been thinking about this for a while now.  It was at the nudging of a good friend that I dare post this thought train.  So here it is, I hope it makes you think.  I hope you post your thoughts on what you would fill in under the main points.  It's an exercise of thought and common sense really.  Ready......

Have a blessed day and know the stars are full of empty wishes just waiting for you........

I came across this video of Michael on You Tube I have no idea when, where, what it's from.....I think it was around the time of a set of characters based on raisins were developed (80's)....but really not sure what to think.  Does anyone know this video or what exactly he's referring to?  I wasn't aware he was involved the development of these characters years ago.......quite cool to watch him explain the movements, the expressions of each.....he's really quite amazing in everything he does...such a creative talent:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze18DgUpq14&feature=endscreen[/youtube]


Have a blessed day!

PS> here are a couple of the raisin videos...they are different sets of characters...but thought I'd post both:
The California Rasins

and a book promo:

LOL......or am I way off base, and hearing something different from Michael....I thought he says "raisins ".....I love the character development aspect.

Messages to Michael / My 1000th Post........
« on: September 04, 2011, 12:41:02 PM »
Well, here it is.  My 1000th post....hard to believe.  I have waited and waited for the inspiration to hit me.  The funny thing is, the inspiration was here, in front of my face all along.  It's your hoax, Michael.  What else could be better inspiration on a person's milestone post, than what this forum is all about? So here goes it.......

What is the purpose of this hoax, this forum, the videos, the tweets, the facebooks?  It's the never-ending suspicions of our minds, hearts and souls.  It's the love, joy and contentment we get from knowing that you, Michael, are still here on earth.  The purpose of the hoax, I suppose, has multiple layers......much like that BAMcake we all dream of sharing.  It's fairly apparent that the layers represent everything from evil in the world to an ARG unlike no other.  Nonetheless, it is an adventure of a magnitude that will never be recreated.  It's entertainment in the highest degree possible.  It's an eye-opening process that sheds light on evil.  However, Michael, above all it's you.  It's a complex maze of intrigue, deep thoughts and creativity.

For the most part I am alone through this.  I mean to say, alone in everyday life.  Nobody around me will listen, pay attention or really cares.  Though it saddens me, it does not stop me from endless thought.  I come here, read and I am astounded by the sheer smartness of people.  The members here need to give themselves a pat on the back.  It's because of them, I push myself to think....thank you all.  I am a creative and curious person by nature.  I am always looking to expand my knowledge on subjects.  I feel a person can be educated, but still lack true knowledge at times.  Does that make sense?

I decided on the name Wishingstar because I have always loved the first star of the evening...the wishingstar.  I also love Disney.  The song When You Wish Upon a Star has always been special to me.  It makes me cry every time.  Though I am no longer that little girl in daddy's arms, I still hear him sing it to me when I gaze at the stars or visit Disneyland.  I am a sentimental fool at times.....but love it.  I cherish good memories.  Memories tied to music are particularly sweet for me.  As I said in my birthday wish to you, look to the evening star....all my best wishes are there for you. 

This hoax isn't about who is right or who is wrong.  It's not even about all those wonderful clues we have deciphered.  It's an adventure, like you said.  It's a personal adventure of faith above all.  Can I truly believe in something I can not see?  My simple answer is: yes.  Though I may never meet you, my faith tells me I already have.  I have met you here, among the threads of this forum.  Perhaps, I have talked with you unknowingly.  If that is the case, I do hope you see the respect and love I live by.  I treat people the way I like to be treated......equally, unbiased and with love always.  I can't begin to imagine your life of turbulence.  Ups and downs, twists and turns.....enough for most to call it quits.  You just kept on giving, I see that now more than ever.  Talent like I have never seen before, places I have never been before...it's all here. 

Looking back over my posts; some I laugh at, some I cry at.  Yet, some still stand the test of time for me.  I once compared this hoax to great works of literature.  Intentional or not, this hoax will go down in history as a great work.  It's a reinvention of how great works are written.  It's brilliantly alive with colorful characters, stupendous sub-plots and gripping emotion.  It's life in the here and now...relatable on all levels.  My posts about it all will eventually go away.  My time here will end, and all will return to something less.  I will be OK, because it was the greatest of adventures. 

In closing my 1000th post I would be remissed if I didn't thank everyone involved here.  The Admin, the Mods and all the members with their brilliant thoughts.....so, thank you very much, your talent, hard work and dedication astound me.  My friends here are among my special blessings.....I love you all.  My family has put up with me for months.....I love them beyond words.  Michael, words are not enough....I can not put into words what I feel.  So let this post be my thank you from the bottom of my heart, to the top of yours.  You are brilliant with your creative mind.  Most of all you are brilliant with your love....thank you.

Look to that evening star when you can, sing a little song in your heart and dance as though all can see.....I'll be there.

God Bless you Michael,
LOVE,
Wishingstar

OMGosh....Souza help....I just wanted to post this on the calendar, lol! I didn't want to start a thread...however.....his birthday is coming up.  I am so bad at times.....either delete this thread...or let's use it as a starting point for celebrating Michael's birthday.
Any special plans for the day?
Souza....sorry, I tried, lol....I am hopeless at times!

So, here it is almost two years....with all that has been happening on the threads, I feel more and more things are heating up.....past the simmer  ;)  I think of these times as, "reflective peace"....a calm before the storm.  I have not felt that slowness people talk about.  I guess it's a matter of the glass half full, or the glass half empty.....how you look at things.  I have been searching out one area that has been touched upon, but never fully recognized.  I have mentioned it, several other members have mentioned it also.  After a couple solid weeks of reading up on the subject and finding things I can't explain...I decided to post about it.  Hopefully, you guys will be willing dig around the subject as well.  It's pretty easy to see that all is not what it appears.  One way or another, June 25, 2009 was only the beginning of a particularly terrifying nightmare..........now that I have that bit of random writing off my chest, on with the investigation.

What I was talking about earlier can be summed up in one phrase: HIPAA.  The laws pertaining to hippa clearly state that medical records of any sort may not be made public.  Unless, authorized by the patient.  I am not going to post all the hippa laws..there is too much information.  I will just post links to some very interesting things I have run across. Here is a link to the basic HIPAA website......it might take a few pots of very strong tea to get through:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

From our own forum, if you just search "HIPAA" you find some great posts. (I tried to give a link...wouldn't copy)

Now, onto some interesting articles that mention HIPAA.  This first one comes from a person that used to be a reporter.  I find the 4th paragraph very interesting:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

from that 4th paragraph of this article:

"On the other hand, based on my experiences with the media – in the past as a reporter, and more recently as a responder – it is possible that the reporter pieced together information from several sources and just wrote the article in a way that implies that all the information came from the LAFD captain."

Next article.....I find this article amazing. It's the most detailed account I have read yet.  It's written by Stephen J. Ruda, LA Fire Captain (at least then he was...);

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

The next article comes from everybody's favorite rag...News of the World.  Believe it or not, they bring me to what I have always believed is the ultimate HIPAA violation....The Paramedics Report:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Now that I have the articles out of the way.  I'd like to focus on the Paramedics report.  I first saw this report back in mid-2010. (you may want to pull up a copy of it...I am the Neanderthal of the group)  Here is a thread I did about it:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

The LAFD is a HIPAA covered entity...they have to obey the laws.  This report is generated each time a paramedic goes out on a call. It is sort of their notes of what happened and becomes a permanent part of the patient's medical record.  
Here is a training manual for the LAFD...section 4 talks about the form used by the paramedics:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

"THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE REPORT (F-902M) is a subpoenable legal, medical, and billing document that becomes a permanent part of the patient's medical records. First on scene prehospital care providers shall initiate an F-902M for ALL calls dispatched, except "returned by radio." RefertoLAFD,Book5(F-902MInstructionManual)."

And the Book 5 (F-902M Instruction Manual):

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

This is my favorite link.  It clearly states EXACTLY how to fill out this particular form.  Which does not match up with what we have seen.  
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

With this link to Book 5, you can see errors in how the form was filled out.  Beginning with this quote:

"ENTRIES
Use a blue or black ball point pen and apply firm pressure to ensure clarity on all copies. PRINT all entries using CAPITAL LETTERS. For "check boxes" use a consistent symbol throughout the form, (e.g. use either all " / ", " X ", or " 4 ". Do not use dots or dashes."

*You can clearly see the handwriting in not ALL CAPS

Also, Book 5 goes line by line how to fill it out....I found some of these to be incorrectly filled out:

1) the second box of the report "Incident No."  - the manual states it should be a four digit number, it's 512

2) the age box, the manual states:
"For all patients over the age of two years, (using three digits), enter the age in years followed by marking the Y.O. box.
EXAMPLE:   A 25-year old patient's age shall be entered as 025and mark the Y.O. box."  MJ's age is stated in the box as 50.

3) the box named 'VIA" - meaning how was the patient transported....it's not marked at all

4) Patient Information box:
"Name / Last, First and MI: Enter the patient's full last and first name, followed by the patient's middle initial using CAPITAL LETTERS."
- his first name is spelled wrong, it's not ALL CAPS and no middle initial is given.

5) the date of birth box:
"Enter the patient's date of birth using eight numbers in the MM/DD/YYYY format."
- the incorrect date is written and it's written with dots, not back-slashes  (08 -28 -1958)

6) Patient File No. box:
"Patient File No.
The "Patient File Number," assigned by the receiving facility, is required when there is no patient name, address, and / or insurance information. If a member is unable to obtain a patient file number during their shift, the EMS Report should notbeheldback. DocumentinthePatientFileNo.space"UNABLETO OBTAIN" and forward the EMS Report through the normal routing procedure."
- I am stumped with this one...the number given is : 36/w3975944_4.
Why is there a number there?  

7) The Comments section:
"All comments shall be clear,concise,and complete."
- not!  the report is barely legible at times.........

I know it seems like I got off topic in my own thread.....but not really.  I firmly believe that if this had been a factual death and this report was released, the LAFD would be in a huge HIPAA violation.  But, because the report is so poorly filled out (on purpose, I am sure), you can totally see the hoax exposed with it.  Here is a final quote about this report...remember LAFD is under HIPAA laws:

"GENERAL INFORMATION
The EMS Report is a legal document and can be subpoenaed. It becomes a permanent part of the patient's medical records. Pre-hospital care providers shall enter factual, objective observations, and findings only. Document justifications for actions done or not done and ensure that you are complete and consistent, especially when policies, procedures, or protocols are involved."


There is another piece of information that was clearly a HIPAA violation:  the ambulance screen.  There is very private information contained within the screen including the phone number involved, the address, age and basic problem.....not breathing at all.  HIPAA restricts all personal information and all information regarding health issues....even not breathing. (that's a pretty big health issue!) The Remembering Michael magazine has both of these (the report and screen) pictured in it.  My question is how did they obtain permission....by whom, where, when?  Having this published like this is in clear violation of hipaa laws.

I think I am hoaxed out for the evening.......I hope I was able to make clear, some of the obvious signs that this is a hoax.  Thanks for hanging in there....I don't usually post such long things....my apologies.  
Have a beautiful week!
LOVE

This Is It / Looking at This Is It In a Different Way
« on: May 18, 2011, 09:04:21 AM »
OK....we have This Is It. Michael's last moments of entertaining recorded for all to see. Really? No, the more I watch it, I know what this film is now. It's a rock opera to end all rock operas. I firmly believe there is an underlying story we are missing, the world is missing. Watch This Is It from a storytellers perspective. We have the hero of the story proclaiming his love in the opening. We have a group of chosen people (dancers) who want to learn all they can from him. We fall in love with the hero all over again through his message of love, dance and music.  He dies...ripping our hearts out. The world is left to wonder one path....Dr. Murray, the trial, the family etc. The other is a path of deception, mystery, intrigue, magic....open only to those who know where to look.....into the path of hoax. We have not two, but three parallel pathways......people who don't know about the hoax, people who are "unbelievers" and finally "believers". I think believers have the upper hand and will gain more knowledge quicker. However, we have created a world within a world.....different forums, videos etc. An interesting social aspect indeed. So, This Is It......a totally new type of interactive entertainment. I believe the story itself is based on a classic retelling of something.....that is where I am struggling. I know Bible stories, classic literature etc. I just can't pinpoint the exact story. I feel it's a combination of perhaps a Bible story and maybe Shakespeare and Poe. It's biblical, it's a tragedy and scary......a trifecta of modern literature:
This Is It

The whole hoax feeling with TII is really odd. I can't shake that we are seeing, experiencing and living something totally new. It would not surprise me at all to learn Michael was able to incorporate some element of truth or sting into it all. His life had always been in danger......a handsome, talented, rich, powerful, black man...yes, danger. Maybe he found a way to beat down the threats. I hope. Sony, Mottola, Sneddon.....take your pick....there are so many.

I do absolutely believe there is a serious side to all this. It's entertainment..but it's educational, name clearing, Sony trapping, court stinging, dirty doc catchin' entertainment!   
I think of Michael's career as the Second Greatest Story Ever Told.......the original Greatest Story Ever Told is a movie from 1965 <!-- m -->You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login<!-- m -->
No, I am not equating him to Jesus....just that his career and storytelling ability are amazing.
The story started long before TII. TII became the focal point after the death of the hero.
I still think TII mirrors some famous work of literature...I just can't pinpoint it. It's not Romeo and Juliet....although, Hamlet has come to mind. My first thought about a return......unfortunately, was 4 years. Because that's what he says in TII. What piece of literature talks about 4 years? Any come to mind?
I am hoping to pinpoint a piece of literature soon......please let me know if you think of any good fits.  The Raven, Hamlet, anything you think might fit.  I have also looked at TII as a parable.  We indeed have all the makings of a great parable.  I know the lessons learned will never be forgotten. 
I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed week!  Thanks for reading my random thoughts on This Is It

Many blessings to you Mrs. Jackson......

It's a sweet day and I just wanted to send out sweet blessings to you.  You are what
all mothers should strive for..... kind, generous and loving.  Here is a favorite quote of mine
about motherhood:

"When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."
-- Pablo Picasso

Blessings to you always
