@Im_convincedmjalive,
Very good post! I agree with you. I think Michael adjusted and fine tuned the plan as the years went by, and the hoax began to live and breathe all by itself (with a little help from God). ;)
Lately, I can't shake the feeling that justice does play a bigger role in this than we have imagined. Despite his "rhinocerous skin", I think Michael will not really rest until he is truly exonerated by the entire planet! I think he is destined and determined to make this happen, whatever it takes, and I say, "More power to him!"
I also think his family is knowlegeable and is supporting him in all this, and like Janet, they share the family trait of being able to keep secrets for years, even decades, if necessary, which has served them well.
The concerts, like you mentioned, would not have been as effective in spreading his message as the death hoax, but we have to consider that this was also an Elvis parallel (Elvis was only days away from a concert performance at the time of his "death").
