so then why is ts preaching to the choir?
I am not sure if you meant Why is TS the one doing the preaching. I am going to respond to this though with some posts that show Why TS is preaching to us. There are lessons to be learned and TS has been from day one trying to teach us. There is alot of information in his posts that tell us WHY. It helps to review or read for the first time all of his previous updates, posts and reveals to get a better understanding. ;)
Peace

In this process, I don't want anyone to accept or reject what I present merely because of who presents it; as I have always said, go by the evidence itself—regardless of who presents it. And in fact, others should bring in evidence they have found (and indeed, many are doing this already in this thread, which is good); don't just wait for me to explain everything.
To put it another way: I may challenge true theories, and/or I may lend support to false theories. In fact, I will usually have at least two different theories for each step. And as we follow the theories: we may find one hitting a dead end, while another flows nicely with no serious difficulties.
Most importantly, I want to inspire critical analysis; even more important than the subject itself, is how you approach it. Unfortunately, many hoax investigators have gone down the road of supporting the hoax with very flimsy evidence at best, and often just plain incorrect evidence. This type of approach does not help anyone; it only makes unbelievers ridicule us as crazy (well, maybe we are ). But seriously, we want to go by solid evidence that will challenge unbelievers, and perhaps even hold up in a court of law.
Critical investigation means to approach the subject as if you were trying to DISPROVE the hoax—not trying to come up with anything and everything imaginable to support the hoax (or supposedly support it). And if you TRY to disprove something, but can't find any reasonable way around it, then you PROBABLY have some good solid evidence. Also, if you have at least two or more strong evidences pointing to the same conclusion, then that is most likely the truth. But it's not a good idea to base any conclusion on only one piece of evidence, even if it seems to be a fairly strong point.

As I said before, your METHOD or APPROACH to investigation is far more important than the ambulance photo or other parts of the hoax. Not merely for investigating this hoax, but for your own good in your entire life, these are extremely valuable skills--and this forum and thread give you an opportunity to learn and practice these skills in an environment that is friendly (or at least should be, and usually is). Part of the good investigation skills here, is learning how to critically examine things from the OPPOSITE perspective than your own belief (which in this case is the hoax). We have a term for people who are unwilling to look at or even consider things from somebody else's perspective, and that term is "prejudice"--and you already know what MJ thinks about prejudice.

In the previous thread, I mentioned that it's good to have at least two or more strong evidences pointing to the same conclusion; and we now have at least four strong points, indicating that the ambulance photo is fake—even after some (including me) have tried to play unbeliever, and debunk whatever we can. Here are those four strong points, with links to some of the evidence. People are still welcome to try and debunk them if they can; but please read at least the information in the links below, before trying to debunk them.
#1. Ben's slip: "Chris, and the other people that were there that day and the other d---- and uhhh, and uhhh ----"

#2. In the video of the ambulance, the monitor/screen is clearly on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o-yZt7yERk. In the photo, the monitor/screen is not on viewtopic.php?f=145&t=18053&p=310867&#p310867.
#3. The shadows on the red car in the video do not match the shadows on the red car in the photo viewtopic.php?f=145&t=18053&p=310880&#p310880; viewtopic.php?f=145&t=18053&p=310880&#p310901.
#4. The paramedics did not recognize MJ; they said it looked like an old man, maybe a hospice patient http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/27/paramedic ... e-arrived/ http://www.tmz.com/2011/01/11/michael-j ... ath-week1/. This report of the paramedics does not fit with the face we see in the ambulance photo. If the paramedics are in on the hoax, and what they said was scripted: then the ambulance photo is fake, one way or another. And if the paramedics are not in on the hoax, then what they said was true—and does not fit with what we see in the ambulance photo, which would still mean that it is fake viewtopic.php?f=145&t=18053&p=309760&#p309760. Either way, then (paramedics in on it or not): the photo is fake; so the only question is what method was used to make the phony photo.
The first three of these four points listed above indicate that the photo was planned and staged in advance, rather than merely editing MJ's face into a photo that was actually taken through the ambulance window on 6-25-09. This is why I started our investigation process with the ambulance photo; now we know that it was planned and staged in advance, so we have a good platform upon which we can build our next level of investigation.
Please remember to use common sense, in addition to forensic investigation and raw data analysis.

5-8. Zone for MJ Info
Another TMZ article, just a few days before, was titled: "Conrad Murray - Michael Was Alive at UCLA" http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/30/conrad-mu ... ful-death/. Here again, if you accept the whole story, then forget the hoax; because the whole story is discussing when MJ died (at home, or UCLA)—it's not discussing if MJ died.
Or you can connect the dots, and recognize that "Michael was alive" is the main clue—and much of the rest is unnamed or unverified "sources". Anything that is not readily verifiable, and especially anything that is unnamed "sources", should go straight in the garbage.
This is part of what Michael is trying to teach us. We are not to blindly trust tabloid media—or even mainstream media. Yet, just like TMZ, at times there is reliable and valuable information in the media.
For example, video interviews; it is very easy to fabricate false information in writing, but it is much harder to fabricate a video interview with someone. And even if someone did create a fake video interview (using a double, or a computer-generated image, etc): the real person would probably hear about it, and deny that it was really him.
And there are other methods to help establish what information is reliable. Twitter has a system of verifying celebrities; so a tweet from a verified account is most likely a reliable source. The Twitter for ALLJACK5ONS was not verified (it's a group account); but we know it is reliable, because other verified accounts in the family have confirmed it.
Another type of fairly reliable information, is when the media (accidentally) says things which actually support the conspiracy view of things. For example, when local media initially reported bombs found in the Murrah Federal building on April 19, 1995, and then later the mainstream media said that there were no other bombs—we know that both stories are not reliable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B4vbO67Bp4.
Common sense tells us that the initial and local reports are reliable; but then the big guys came in and controlled the mass media, and overrode those initial reliable reports. This happened also with the JFK junior assassination, and many other cases such as 911, etc http://michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com/phpb ... 30&p=27572.
The corrupt media expects us to believe that professionals found additional bombs in the Murrah building, got equipment and experts to deactivate these bombs, and then later they realized that there were no bombs in the building! Supposedly these professionals had been unable to tell the difference between a bomb and a grilled cheese sandwich—and they didn't even catch their mistake, until they were trying to deactivate the sandwiches!!! Sorry, but I think that this story is the cheesy one; and the first reports from the local media are far more reliable.
And at this point, I should mention that as far as possible: TIAI Revealed, and the Updates, have used the above mentioned and similar types of reliable sources for information. So don't accept something just because TIAI says it; but on the other hand, don't fail to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources and documentation. Rejecting reliable information isn't much if any better (maybe worse) than accepting unreliable information. Some people believe everything (gullible), others believe nothing (stubborn); if we want the truth, we must find a balance between those extremes.
