MJ Fan Group Gunning to Shut Down Vault Website
43 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

A group of Michael Jackson fans have banded together and fired off a scathing letter to the people behind JacksonSecretVault.com -- calling for the site to stop the "exploitation of Michael Jackson, his grieving mother, his beloved children and his legacy."

The letter contains a laundry list of complaints against the site, among their objections:

-- The exploitation of Michael’s elderly mother in the marketing, selling and merchandising from the Jackson Vault.

-- The use and brokering of Michael Jackson’s children to promote events, merchandise and interviews.

-- The use of the demeaning term, “Jacko” in the Jackson Vault website and press release. A degrading term that Michael himself, spoke openly against and thought was insulting.

This has all come about because of the release of a song on JacksonSecretVault.com -- which was first billed as a new song that had the blessing of Katherine Jackson ... but was later determined to be neither.

Wow.  It's coming fast and furious now, guys.  Showdown time.  And, do we take the same position as the Fan Group?  I didn't realize that "jacko" was used on the vault website.
How shameful and utterly unacceptable.  I hope that believers and non-believers are able to come to some common ground and join forces in order to assist in the protection of the family if the Jacksons are being railroaded.  It's mighty suspicious.  As I said before,  much research is going into who Branco really is and his relationship with Sony which they believe is not in support of the family. This is research on  mjhd.net     I wonder what the truth is in that.   Also, the tweets that I learned of being sent to Taj are despicable and sound like the crazy fans talked about on the re-education site.  Is this all orchestrated or is it getting out of control?

Michael face looks like "What the phuck" :?

And he is probably thinking that they should buy a third eye because clearly they are not getting it!

Wow.

This is answering some of my questions now.

[paula-c]

In that part Jacko says? :?:  :?

Well I've been trying to figure out why KJ would deny releasing this song and why the song was released in the first place and why the timing on the 5th and why why why....

and actually it hasn't answered more questions then it has raised.

The answer is it's been done on purpose by MJ but that poses the question of WHY?? He knew it would evoke this kind of response from the non-believers so why make it appear that his Mom is being exploited in such a way?

Why is he focusing his fan base's anger at Howard Mann and not say... Sony? Or... AEG? Or really even Murray? Or Mottolla? Or Sneadon? Some random website?

Of all the messages he is trying to convey with the hoax....

he rallies the fan base to speak out against... Howard Mann?

So yeah I'm confused. Never mind.

Thanks Bec -

I understand your confusion!  Here are my thoughts

It is interesting to notice that the news are changing quickly and that the individuals that are being "targeted" by the news are changing quite quickly, and by the time People have written their negative comments and taken action, this is an out of date news. The non- believers lessons:
1. This may be used to show to the fans/public that believed the news that they are being fed lies and should not base their actions on the basis of tabloid information! OOPs think before you act!!! Lesson1
2. Those who are aggressing his Mother probably falls in the category "Get them out of Here" as for him, it is probably a total lack of RESPECT Lesson 2
3. Innocent before being proven guilty Lesson 3

...So let's watch what happens to Howard Mann next and if he remains a "target" in the coming week then I guess we will need to look into the WHY a bit more.

Why is HE creating confusion? I can only give you my own opinion, HE knows, I ass-ume!
I would create confusion, if I wanted PEOPLE to ask questions, many questions and if I wanted to give the media something to talk about - Good or Bad! - to keep my name in the news.
It is also a good way to see how various groups react or seek feedback?  Say that the intention was to get some reaction from Fans on Opus None before going too far with a different style of music then this would also work (NB I do not believe that it was the purpose of the release!!)
And thirdly, it is the parallel with V for Vendetta (The Parliament bomb on the 5th November) and it is signalling the start of the final phase of the Hoax before BAM.  When non believers reflects on the BAM after it happens, they will think back about all this confusion and say "I know something was WRONG, if only!!!"

Apology from Howard Mann
Monday, November 8, 2010

I wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to the
Jackson family, his fans and to TMZ for my act of both ignorance and
random stupidity this past weekend!

Our goal in releasing” Opis None” was simply to satiate fans appetite
for unreleased MJ music and to provide a vocal that the world could
believe strongly was an authentic MJ vocal, when in reality the song
turned out to be solely a remake or remix of an old Jackson track
titled “Destiny”.  The MJ fans pointed this out within 15 seconds of
the track going live, however the damage was done.

For the record: At no point in time did Mrs. Jackson give me
permission to release the track or frankly did she even hear the track
in the first place. That stupidity was ALL ME. We grabbed the track
from a series of masters we own and researched the title and found no
listed release titled “Opis None” in the MJ releases and I felt it
sounded like such a weird track for an MJ song, the fans would get a
kick out of it. I certainly did not expect fans to become enraged with
Miss Jackson about the track as it was given away for free and was not
intended as a commercial product.

Mrs. Jackson is a sweet, kind and giving person, much like her son
Michael Jackson was known to the world. As his loving mother, she was
bar none his biggest fan.  Our goal at JacksonSecretVault.com is to
pay tribute to the legendary artist and artistic visionary that was
and is Michael Jackson. The fans are entitled to a higher level of
integrity then I demonstrated this past weekend and for that I am
sorry.

When the world sees Mrs. Jackson on Oprah tomorrow, they will see a
devastated mother trying her best to both grieve the loss and also to
celebrate the life of her iconic son.  I hope the fans will not hold
my stupidity against her, as she is a truly quality woman who has
certainly been through enough!

Humbly,
Howard Mann

You know who this guy sounds like?

Silver Wolf.

Just an observation.

[FrenchBraid]

Sounds like a scumbag to me. Once a porn producer, always a bottom-feeder. The only thing missing from that site is a blurb about steak knives.

Even more relevant now that we know this new Sony track is a fake and Opis None certainly is not.
