TMZ's facebook post about this story had this at the beginning of the post. I have highlighted the parts of the sentence that jumped out at me. "The child molestation accusations against Michael Jackson are still very much alive .... and one of the original accusers is nowhere to be found." "You are not allowed to view links.

The only real clues I would take any notice of are from the actual [strange and discordant] events around the death and the the family interviews and statements / slip ups that followed. Such as Jermaine saying MJ was long gone to the airport before hand. There are many who seem to have made a career and financial gain from this hoax and there are also a few losers who are posing as MJ online . I would disregard all of these as they have their desired outcome when they get attention. So don't feed the troll is my opinion. So 7 years down the hoax trail and I think we should be true to our own opinions and theories , comfortable in just knowing what we know on the inside and not paying too much attention to those out there who wish to spoon feed us crumbs of crap fake clues to get followers. Don't get discouraged. The real clues are all present in the beginning and roll out of the hoax. Some times to move on, we have to take a look back. ![]()

Register or LoginMichael Jackson Tops Forbes 2016 Top Earning Dead Celebrity List10/12/2016 by Nerisha Penrose ![]() Although it’s been nine years since his passing, the King of Pop's lucrative empire only continues to grow, as Michael Jackson earns another No. 1 spot, this time on Forbes' 2016 Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list. Sony paid the singer $115 million for a 50/50 partnership for Sony/ATV Publishing after Jackson initially bought the Sony/ATV publishing company for $47 million back in 1985 (the equivalent to $160 million today). Earlier this year, Sony bought Jackson's half for $750 million, giving the pop legend his highest payout to date. Cartoonist Charles Schulz -- known best for his iconic Peanuts franchise -- bows in at No. 2 with $48 million. The 2015 Peanuts' reboot The Peanuts Movie pulled in $45 million during it's weekend debut. Golf veteran Arnold Palmer, who passed away just last month, claims the No. 3 spot with $40 million. Music legends Elvis Presley and Prince close out the top 5, racking in $27 million and $25 million. Prince's Paisley Park recently opened it's doors to the public, and patrons paid anywhere from $38.50 to $100 to tour the recording studio, according to International Business Times. Check out the top ten of Forbes' highest-paid dead celebrities list here. 10. Bettie Page - $11 million 9. Albert Einstein - $11.5 million 8. John Lennon - $12 million 7.

Register or LoginIt’s 6am and Bill Whitfield is making coffee at his home in Las Vegas before he drives to work as a high school security guard. Few of the students he now protects know that the big guy in uniform was Michael Jackson’s bodyguard for the last two and a half years of the singer’s life. “Oftentimes I was the last person he spoke to at night and the first person he spoke to in the morning,” he says on the phone, seven years after Jackson’s fatal heart attack. “You couldn’t get to Mr Jackson unless you went through me.” Whitfield remembers the after-hours visits to bookshops, when Jackson would buy everything. He talks about taking the singer’s children to theme parks without the veils they wore in public with their father. He remembers the fake names used to book hotel rooms (“we used Barney Rubble for a while”) and the decoy SUVs he deployed to keep fans away. And he recalls the descent of the “vultures” after Jackson agreed to a farewell tour. There were only a few narrow escapes. “On three different occasions we received calls from hotel managers to say that someone had made a threatening call,” Whitfield says. “So in the middle of the night we would need to leave and one of the ways we would do it – and I’ve never really talked about this – was to smuggle Mr Jackson out in a room-service trolley.” ![]() Whitfield, now 50, hasn’t exactly chosen the quiet life. His school is prominent – it is named after its founder, the Vegas-born tennis star Andre Agassi – and he is alert to the threat of shootings. But he doesn’t miss guarding famous people, a job he did for more than a decade after starting out as a Connecticut cop. “It’s a lot harder now because of the way celebrities publicise their wealth,” he says. “You know the record Biggie and Puffy made, Mo Money Mo Problems’? It’s never been more true.” I ask Whitfield how he felt after Jackson’s death in the summer of 2009. The bodyguard had stayed in Las Vegas to prepare the security for the world tour that was due to start in London two weeks later. Jackson was in a rented mansion in Los Angeles with his physician, who would later be convicted of involuntary manslaughter for administering the fatal dose of surgical anaesthetic that Jackson demanded for his insomnia. Whitfield had become unfailingly loyal, even forgoing wages while Jackson’s debts multiplied. He remembers carrying in a briefcase two Gone With the Wind Oscars statuettes that Jackson had bought in 1999 for $1.5m. They would be used as currency if the cash ran out. Whitfield had watched lawyers, promoters and family members circle while the tour took shape. “Mr Jackson said to me at the beginning: ‘Bill, watch; now the vultures are going to start to show up.’ And soon I knew exactly what he meant. I witnessed the heartache and stress. He expressed it to me. So when the word came out that Mr Jackson passed away? After what I had witnessed him go through, the first thing that came to my mind was: ‘Now he’ll rest.’ He didn’t die, he left this place and all of what he was going through.” That loyalty endures and Whitfield dismisses the more lurid claims about Jackson’s private life. He says the man under the mask was “as normal as the rest of us”. In 2014, he wrote Remembering the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days with Javon Beard, his fellow bodyguard. “Mr Jackson became my friend, someone I cared for and loved,” Whitfield says, before putting down the phone and going to school. “Writing the book was a way of continuing my protection of him.” I have taken the liberty to post only the section of this article dealing with MJ and his body guards and leave out the other celeb stories. It is an interesting turn of phrase that Mr Whitfield uses when asked how he feels about the passing of MJ. His reply was ‘Now he’ll rest.’ He didn’t die, he left this place and all of what he was going through.”
Also didn't know that TII was supposedly a farewell concert. Another interesting turn of phrase here.

Register or LoginSony Finalizes Aquisition of Michael Jackson Estate's Stake In Sony / ATV Publishing.9/30/2016 by Ed Christman. ![]() The completion of the previously announced deal “marks the start of an exciting new chapter in our proud history,” says Sony/ATV CEO Martin Bandier. The Sony Corp. has completed its acquisition of the Michael Jackson's estate share of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, giving it sole ownership of the music publishing powerhouse. The deal was first announced in March, but it took a while to close because the transaction had to be scrutinized by the EU Commission and because the Jackson estate needed to do some house cleaning in preparation for cashing out, sources say. While the press release announcing the closing said that Sony paid $750 million for the Jackson's estate 50% share in the company, Billboard estimates that the company's valuation was anywhere from $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion when debt and an earlier agreed upon discount-- for some other consideration previously given by Sony to the Jackson estate--are taken into account. "The payment also reflects certain contractual and accounting adjustments related to the Sony/ATV joint venture and other commercial opportunities involving Sony and the Estate," the announcement said. European Regulators Greenlight Sony/ATV Deal Both Sony and the Jackson estate still have a stake in EMI Music Publishing, which they acquired when a consortium, including other investors, put together by Sony, acquired that publishing entity now administered by EMI. And of course, Sony still issues Jackson's music. Sony said the purchase is not expected to have a material impact on its forecasted financial results for the year ending March 31, 2017. "The completion of this deal is terrific news for Sony/ATV and everyone who works for the company," Sony/ATV chairman/CEO Martin Bandier said in a statement. "It marks the start of an exciting new chapter in our proud history and we cannot wait to get started as a 100% Sony-owned company. Sony Corporation has shown absolute faith and support in us and what we do by undertaking this deal and we are ready to repay that trust in the months and years ahead." For its part, the Jackson estate noted that the transaction will not affect its continuing substantial interests in other music assets, including all of Jackson's master recordings as well as Mijac Music, the publishing company that owns all of the songs written by Jackson as well as songs by some of his favorite songwriters and artists that were acquired by Michael during his life. "I'd also like to take a moment to thank the Estate and especially John Branca, John McClain and Karen Langford for everything they have done for Sony/ATV over the two decades of the joint venture," Bandier added. "They will remain an integral part of our legacy."

Yes. Guilty of over-acting.

Been thinking about this pic taken from the MJ who was photographed leaving Arnie Klein's offices
and the MJ(s) in TII didn't have an ear like this one.

You got to admit it is entertaining though.
The really tight band that is fronted by a singer with some peculiar ways and style of delivery and a very unique voice [ I am trying to be nice] just makes this a theater of the absurd. :ghsdf:
I can't manage to sit through one of these professionally made videos without cracking up in laughter the minute the singing begins.
Then throw in the hoax connections, the family and associates, and well...I'm entertained.

The lead up to D day......some thoughts to jog our memories.
Please add to the list in this thread.
pre death clues in the movie Moonwalker / and Liberian girl with MJ behind the camera.
MJ removes the veils from his children in public just prior to the hoax start.
Media was fed pictures of MJ in wheelchairs and there were accompaning reports of his failing health, including his need for lung transplants / intestinal bleeding/ a flesh eating disease and headlines stating he'll be dead within 6 months. This was from Dec '08.
Then we have conflicting reports from Lou Ferrigno who was training him that he was in perfect shape,
MJ had also passed a five hour physical for insurance purposes for the tour TII.
And two days before his 'death', we see footage of a healthy and lucid MJ dancing up a storm for TII rehearsals.
O2 anouncement and that weird behavior ....Is there a line in that strange speech where the double ( a debatable topic) says 'I'm so dead'
As well as the physical health rumours, there were also rampant financial health stories circulating at this time. Some fuelled by Nanny Grace that MJ couldn't even afford to buy balloons for Paris's birthday party. The illusion of a poor Michael was being shoen to the world while he was in truth worth millions possibly billions.
MJ had a vault of unreleased recordings ready that will see many albums released 'cough' posthumously.
Branca was brought back on board. I need to research this to make certain, but I think there is an Elvis connection with Branca and he would be knowledgable with a hoaxed death scenario.
Speaking of Elvis, Lisa said that Michael told her He was going to end up going out the same way her father did.

^^. And the impersonator's head and neck appear to be disproportionate to the body.^^
Great summary. That head is really large and the chins are really different.

Hi Melody. It is good to see you here.
I know of nothing significant about those dates you posted from that redirect.
I am not sure if you were here when Tim Simpkins, the author of TIAI admitted he was not a hoax insider.
TIAI was fun while it lasted though, and it did open us up to a lot of bible study, which I believe was the author's intended purpose .

Very appropriate that he covers I've Got You Under My Skin.
I think it really is the case, behind the mask, so to speak.

Michael had never seen a million dollars in cash? :icon_lol: Didn't he used to keep paper bags filled with cash stashed all over his house according to Mark Schaffel?
Not sure Scott would have enough to fill a book as it seems he only protected MJ for the shortest period of time at Trumps request while in Atlantic City, but I did appreciate the way he shut down the interviewer in the final video and spoke up in Michael's defense that he was set up. :th_bravo:
