Aaahhh this makes some good sense!   It's quite reasonable to think that one of the places MJ's been hiding out in is Bahrain.  And Jermaine wore a shirt on the Jackson family dynasty show that said very prominently "BAHRAIN".  Maybe that's where Michael flew to when he had gone to the airport....er, hospital.  And he spent so much time there in recent years - planning the last details perhaps and getting his situation set up.

How do we know for sure that you can fake your death in Bahrein without being punished?Probably it goes for US too if you don't fake your death to avoid taxes or something of this sort.

what I meant is that if MJ comes back and he does it in Bahrain, he will not be extradited. He can´t come back in USA, but he could in Bahrain or some country in South America.

but doesn't count that he is a US resident? I mean I don't know how are the things there but if you are French and go to Brazil you'll still be a French on documents and under French laws. I am not sure but I think it's like this.

Seen in the Scene: Janet Jackson w/Her Billionaire Boo, Al Mana Wassam and Who is this Dude Anyway?

Published on September, 24 2010 by Unlimited Whispers  leave a comment

Well, who is this Al Mana Wassam anyway.  I was able to gather a very small amount of information.  Here's what I think I know so far: 35-year-old billionaire Qatari businessman. Wissam is director of Al Mana Retail, a shareholder in Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and Kuwait

This is why extradition is important.
IF there is any crime for hoaxing his death, the death hoax was committed in the US. Bahrain has no reason to try him for any type of crime since it was supposedly commited in the US. But they have no treaty with the US to send any criminal back to the US for a crime that was committed in the US. Bahrain is not the only country with no extradition treaty. If Thome is connected with Bahrain, it would kind of connect the dots who assisted him and who is protecting him. It does make me wonder if AEG is not involved in the hoax in anyway.

Michael Jackson Sails With Two Seas
Michael Jackson has taken a step towards a return to his musical career by signing an exclusive recording agreement with Bahrain-based Two Seas Records. The label is a joint venture between the embattled pop star and Abdulla Hamad Al-Khalifa.

Jackson, who has been in Bahrain since shortly after his June 2005 acquittal on child molestation charges, is said to be working on new material. A new album is tentatively scheduled for release in "late 2007," according to a statement. "I am incredibly excited about my new venture and I am enjoying being back in the studio making music," Jackson says.

U.K. record executive Guy Holmes has been tapped as CEO of the Two Seas label and will also be tasked with managing Jackson's other business interests. Holmes will also remain chairman of Gut Records, which last spring scored a massive U.K. hit with Crazy Frog's version of "Axel F," essentially a popular ringtone attached to a manic animated character. Gut has also released music from Tears For Fears, the Wildhearts, Sparks, Fannypack and Aswad.

Holmes' Gut label is already promoting an association with Jackson, as a digital player on its Web site is streaming a Hi Tack remix of his 1983 hit "Say Say Say," subtitled "Waiting for U."

In his earliest solo years, Jackson recorded for Motown, which had been home to his sibling group, the Jackson 5. The group shifted to Epic in the mid-1970s and in 1979 released Jackson's breakout solo album, "Off the Wall." His international superstardom was solidified with subsequent albums "Thriller" (1982), "Bad" (1987) and "Dangerous" (1992). His final studio set for the Epic was 2001's "Invincible," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold more than 2 million copies in the United States alone, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

Jackson accused the label of poor promotion, which led to a public spat with label parent Sony and its then president, Tommy Mottola. Epic has continued to mine the artist's career with a string of releases since then.

Holmes appointment to effectively manage Jackson's career comes on the heels of reports last week that Jackson, in a move to stave off insolvency, has reached a deal with creditors to refinance more than $200 million in loans secured by his stake in the Beatles' song catalog.

Jackson had been living off his 50% share of the Sony/ATV Music publishing catalog, which includes more than 250 copyrights from the Beatles. Jackson purchased ATV in 1985. Ten years later, in a deal orchestrated by his longtime attorney John Branca, Jackson merged ATV with Sony's music publishing division; the entire catalog is valued at around $1 billion.

Sheik Happens: Michael Jackson Lawsuit a Done Deal
Mon., Nov. 24, 2008 8:04 AM PST by Gina Serpe

Michael Jackson's latest courtship is kaput.

Fresh off yesterday's news that the entertainer reached a tentative settlement in the ultimately short-lived $7 million breach-of-contract lawsuit brought by a Bahrain royal comes word that a formal resolution has been finalized. "We are very pleased to announce an amicable settlement has been reached on confidential terms," Sheik Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa's attorney, Bankim Thanki, told London's High Court this morning.

After the announcement, both legal teams briefly conferred in private before releasing a joint statement: "They wish each other well in their own respective endeavors." The rep for Al-Khalifa, who considered Jackson a "brother," albeit one he had no problem suing, said the terms of their settlement would remain on the down-low. "They have settled amicably and that's all we have to say."

Al-Khalifa was seeking more than $7 million in repayment from the erstwhile King of Pop for advance payments made toward an unfulfilled recording contract and various living and legal expenses.

Bahrain
Bahrain is a hereditary emirate under the rule of the Al Khalifa family. The Amir, Shaykh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, his uncle--Khalifa bin Sulman Al Khalifa (Prime Minister) and Crown Prince Shaykh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa (Commander of the Bahraini defense forces), govern Bahrain in consultation with a council of ministers. The government faces few judicial checks on its actions. The Amir recently created the Supreme Judicial Council which is intended to regulate the country's courts and separate the administrative and judicial branches of government. Despite their minority status, the Sunnis predominate because the ruling family is Sunni and is supported by the armed forces, the security service, and powerful Sunni and Shi'a merchant families.

Since 1998, the new Amir has worked to make Bahraini society more democratic and open. Such changes have included the return to the Constitution as the supreme source for the country's laws and the legalization of nongovernmental organizations. On February 14, 2001, the people of Bahrain took part in a popular referendum, in which they approved by 98.4% a return to the Constitution. Among other issues, the referendum paved the way for Bahrain to become a constitutional monarchy and to change the country's official name from the State of Bahrain to the Kingdom of Bahrain (a change which took effect in February 2002).

Along with improvements in basic civil rights protections and freedoms of expression and association, the government took the first steps to return to Bahrainis the right to elect a legislature. In his October 2001 speech to open the tenth session of the Consultative Council, the Amir declared his intention to hold municipal elections in 2002 and legislative elections before 2004. He also stated that the legislative branch of government would have two houses, one directly elected by universal male and female suffrage and the other appointed. Bahrain's progress toward political and economic reform has been steady.

Bahrain's five governorates are administered by the Minister of State for Municipalities and the Environment in conjunction with each Governorate's Governor. A complex system of courts, based on diverse legal sources, including Sunni and Shi'a Sharia (religious law), tribal law, and other civil codes and regulation, was created with the help of British advisers in the early 20th century. This judiciary administers the legal code and reviews laws to ensure their constitutionality.

Bahrain Company Didn't Get Memo On MJ's Death

The deadline for filing a claim has passed, but AQ claims it didn't get proper notice.

Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "I don't believe the claim has any merit but they're late in filing regardless."

But here's the thing ... TMZ is big in Bahrain, so what's the deal?

The deal is that apparently MJ forgot to send them the memo that the greatest show on earth has just begun. ;)[/quote]

Exactly.

[scorpionchik]

Nevertheless, he are some sites proving that Bahrain heard about MJ "death".
So, who's game this article describes?

Bahraini Sheik Saddened By Michael Jackson's Death

http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/06/28/77216.html

Muslim world grieves for Michael Jackson.-- " Yet Bahrainis, many of whom were accustomed to glimpsing the reclusive Jackson sporting a black women's abaya, a black over garment,, connected to Jackson on a cultural level as many felt he was one of them."

[paula-c]

And I suppose that all this history of which the children to study in a private college in The Angels is a garbage, Michael must live with his children in Bahrain. To remember what said Paris in the interview with Oprah. ;)
