1. What is your username and has it always been the same?
My username is currently AliveHeHides. It used to be IWantYouBack.
2. What made you look into the hoax and when?
To be completely honest, on June 25, I was under the impression that Michael had passed away. However, later on that night, I decided to research more information about his death and came across a few posts online regarding a possible hoax. After finding out more information about Michael and his unusual, out of the blue, perfectly-timed passing, I definitely became a believer. So, technically, I have been a believer since late-evening June 25th, 2009.
3. What do you think is his reason to hoax his death?
I personally believe that Michael has multiple reasons to hoax his death. I will list them below:
1) Illuminati
Because Michael's message is all about love and he constantly spoke out against dangerous figures through his music and speeches, I feel that he was threatened by the Illuminati and therefore had to fake his death to save his life.
2) His Children
Because Michael loved his children so much and that he is such a massive celebrity, I think he would fake his death to help give his children the chance to live a normal life. Without Michael around, it would be easier for his children to adapt to a normal life without being constantly harassed about the controversy surrounding their father. Although there will always be controversy regarding his passing, with Michael being gone, the public will back away from his children and give them their space because they "lost their father".
3) His Health
I personally believe that Michael's health wasn't perfect. Knowing Michael and his work ethic, I believe he definitely wanted to do This Is It but knew he wasn't healthy enough to give 110 % into all 50 performances. Michael always wants to be on top of his field, so I personally think that faking his death has given him the chance to gain his strength back, get off any drugs he may be on, and (hopefully) come back a new, healthy man.
4. Who do you think are 100% in on the hoax?
In no particular order, I believe the following people are included:
- Kenny Ortega and the This Is It cast and crew.
- Conrad Murray
- His Family
- The FBI
5. Do you think he will come back and if yes; why, when and how? If not, why do you think he will not return?
Although I'd LOVE for him to return, I don't think Michael is going to come back. His children are finally getting the chance to live a (somewhat) normal life and go to school. If he came back, then his kids will be harassed until the cows come home about their "weird father who faked his death". I don't think MJ wants that and I definitely don't think his children want that. I know Michael isn't weird, but if he came back, I think that's what the public (who aren't his hardcore fans) and the media would think.
6. Do you believe MJ reads the forum and do you think he posts. If yes, do you have a suspect?
I think he may read the forum, but I don't think he posts.
7. How long do you think this hoax was in the planning? Please explain why.
I think this hoax was in the works since the 2005 trial. Michael's image was completely tarnished as an entertainer because of that trial (in my opinion), and so, to gain his reputation back as the legendary King of Pop, I think he in a way had to fake his death so that people would begin to immediately remember his music and how he impacted the entertainment industry, and not for his eccentricities and his trial.
8. Do you think we have overlooked something or haven't examined enough and if so, what?
No, I think we've done an amazing job and haven't really overlooked anything. :)
9. Which part of the hoax do you like less?
The biblical part of the hoax. I just cannot bring myself to believe in that theory, I'm sorry. ^_^
10. What do you think is the best hoax video / YouTube channel?
To be honest, I love Pearl's videos.
11. Do you think O2 guy was MJ?
No. I think it was an impostor/body double.
12. What old topic should be discussed again you think?
I can't really answer this question because I haven't been on top of the hoax as much as I'd like to have recently.
13. If you would have to make a non-believer reconsider and you could pick 3 things to make your point, which 3 things will that be?
The ending credits of This Is It, the Jermaine hospital slip up, and my personal experience at Neverland.
14. Is there anything you believe about the hoax/MJ that you rather not say because you think people will think you are crazy? If yes, please share! Hahahaha.
LOL Well, if you check out my recent thread regarding the London England clown, if I say that I think it's MJ, I KNOW people will think I'm crazy! LOL I personally don't believe it's him as of yet, but I'm not ruling out the possibility!
15. What made you laugh the hardest the past 4 years?
The Jermaine hospital slip up. CLASSIC! LOL!
16. Anything else you want to share or questions you think should be added?
Nope! :D
