Title: You Are Not Alone
Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 14, 2011, 07:51:18 PM
Ok so I'm literally only on the Prologue  lolol/ but I had to post this quote from Jermaine's book:

"I find myself constantly reflecting, going back to a time when we believed Hollywood to be only a magical place; when we believed in the Yellow Brick Road" - It's page 5 of the Prologue (Kindle version)

lolol/ well it was a birthday gift

but I'm reading through it and the first part is very emotional...it's talking about the trial and this one moment where Michael completely breaks down after he had fallen, hurt his back and is in the hospital. It's really hard to read and imagine what he went through. Michael removed his jacket, showing his bare chest, and goes "Look at me!...Look at me! I'm the most misunderstood person in the world." (pg. 12) and then Jermaine goes into very specific detail what his skin looks like from the vitiligo because Michael had hid the extent of it from them until then.

I don't have the book but the parts I see here are sad.  I feel very bad that Michael had to go through all this pain and hard times.  Why were people worried about skin color etc. when he was doing such amazing things ?  I always saw him for all the great things he did, not all the other crazy stuff in the media etc.  moonwalk_/

Ok so a few more interesting things from reading:

He says that after Joseph went to his little sister's funeral when he was 11, he vowed never to attend another funeral and he kept that promise. "until 2009."

And he addresses the middle name issue:

"From somewhere, and especially after Michael's death, a rumor began that his middle name was Joseph. Maybe this myth prefers the echo with our father's name because the crossover reads better about a father and a son who struggled to see eye to eye. 'Joe' was his middle name, as recorded on his birth certificate."

He also talks about the #7:

"Michael was the seventh child with seven letters in his first name and "7" was his favorite number. So, numerically, his name is "777." That's the jackpot there. The Lucky 7s..."

"But "7" was central to his identity."

and he talks about how it was sewn into his clothes and significant in his artwork.

Ok I'm going to keep reading  lolol/

Thank you very much MichaelsAngel for this post,it is very important to me .So if  Michael's middle name is JOE as confirmed on "his birth certificate",this means one thing  afraid/:ALL death documents who say JOSEPH, which is NOT his LEGAL name,makes ALL those documents invalid.After Katherine and Latoya ,Jermaine is next to admit his legal name is Joe.
Wait of minute,if this is true,then what about the WILL,what about 1993 CASE/DANGEROUS DEPOSITIONS,and what about THIS IS TOUR  afraid/  OMG!? OMG all of this have THE NAME JOSEPH on them,all the papers  :shock: .Could it be that all was just an ILLUSION and was all about THE NAME????? In the BMI repertoire it clearly say Songwriter/Composer: JACKSON MICHAEL JOE.

In deed!  this rabbit hole is very very deep, I wonder if there is an online version of the book, in the UK there is only 1000 copies to be sold apparently?

I am very interested in that book. Jermaine loves Michael and he surely has a lot to say about his brother that we are not awared of.

We are back in point 0, Joe vs Joseph, so once again  :oops: isn´t Joe the short version of the name Joseph? If yes, then is the same name, not different.
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone
Post by: VeryLittleSusie on September 15, 2011, 06:08:35 AM
I wonder if Jermaine is gonna write something about his "Word to da Badd" song. He definitely knew about his skin disorder, yet in his song he dissed MJ about his skin color!  crash/

Post by: mjptd on September 15, 2011, 06:15:37 AM
Are we sure that all the documents  circulating in the net are real? I think that the DC of Michael and the BC of the kids are fake because of the middle name

Another family member confirmed that his middle name is JOE. I can not believe non-believers still do not wake up. Jermaine is giving out good clues in the book. We just need to read btw the lines. Thank you for posting it MichaelsAngel. I would be appreciated if you keep on sharing the interesting parts you read.  bearhug

I know Mrs. Katherine says that Michael gets embarrassed easily. I guess he was just so ashamed of his skin disease....
Makes me want to cry, just thinking about how hard it must have been for him to talk to anyone about it.
Vitiligo wasn't understood then by a lot of people at the time he got it.

Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 15, 2011, 12:28:17 PM
You're welcome everybody! The Book is split into 3 parts: The Beginning- The Early Years; The Middle- The Hayvenhurst Years; and the End- The Neverland Years. I'm only on the middle portion but I will update everyone as I go along.

Here are a few cute/interesting stories but aren't really major clues except for maybe a few:

-Michael is the master of imitation. He was always studying human emotions and the way humans behaved (disguises  8))

-Michael was always secretly listening in on meetings and was curious to hear what the executives were saying (when he was little and couldn't be apart of it) and he always liked to listen in if he heard someone mention his name. He also wanted to know what the fans talked about  lolol/

-Jermaine says that the media sensationalized the Joseph beatings and that it really wasn't as bad as they made it out to be. He said that to Michael it seemed worse because he was young and very sensitive. He also said that he was the defiant one, even from the beginning when he threw his bottle at Joseph's head at 18 months  :lol: :lol: :lol:

-When Michael was too little to be in the band, he made a set of bongos out of oatmeal cans and decided he was going to play from the sidelines. The three boys (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine) were set to sing in front of their mom and grandma and right when they were about to sing...Michael shot up and started singing haha and that's when they knew he had something special

-Marlon was only added to the group because Katherine insisted and at one point there was talk of kicking him out by Joseph because he couldn't get the dance steps

-Michael always thought of his fans as a second family and as "peripheral friends"

There are a lot of cute stories that really let you see the magic of Michael, even from the very beginning. It really is a very good book
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone
Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 15, 2011, 01:06:35 PM
 lolol/ lolol/ I had to share this story. Ok so Jermaine is in bed with a girl in the room that he shares with Michael:

"'I love how you stroke my thighs,' she continued, '...you're real gentle...' I'm not stroking your thighs. '...it feels good," she whispered. I peeked open my eyes and maneuvered my head to take a sly look down the bed, and that's when I saw it--Michael's arm, reaching up and over from underneath the bed, his hand circling her thigh...'She got some real creamy thighs!' he [Michael] said"

 :lol: :lol: :lol: he's such a little stud

Reading it now, just finished the prologue. First few pages already show how close they are as a family, in spite of what the public might think and the media might imply. I am sure I am going to love this book, Jermaine writes well.
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone
Post by: TheMoonIsDancing on September 15, 2011, 03:33:05 PM
I got the book this morning!
I'm on page 17 and its such a good book. Better than La Toya's imo because its all about Mike so far.
The way Jermaine (Erms  :mrgreen:  as MJ calls him) talks about Mike is very endearing and genuine. A big brother watching over Michael. He says in the book that it has become programmed in his mind since Mike was born, to protect him at any cost. :) I love this family!
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone
Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 15, 2011, 04:07:08 PM
@TheMoonIsDancing I agree! It is very well-written and so far the book is mostly about Michael.

I found this interesting while reading. I've never heard Michael refer to his fans as this and if not it is a HUGE clue:

"I need to stress that the vast majority of Michael's fans were not Billie Jeans; they were the most dedicated, loyal and loving fans an artist could wish for, and he knew this better than anyone. He shared a unique association with the people he called his 'soldiers of love.'"
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone
Post by: TheMoonIsDancing on September 15, 2011, 04:10:09 PM
What page are you on, MichaelsAngel?
 
And soldiers of love?  ;D  Hey, thats us!
I feel like Ive heard it before, but I might just be planting things in my own brain lol.
Either way, its so cool that he refers to us this way.

Wow, you're tearing through that 'book'. I've been reading off and on but now I have some time to catch up!
Can't wait to get to the final pages. I wonder if I'll get the same  WTF?? expression on my face as I did with Toya's book...
Off to read :)

Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 15, 2011, 06:27:05 PM
hmmm so Michael played dead even during the victory tour...AND it involved spiders  :lol: :lol: :lol:

"...one of my brother's two giant spiders crawled electronically onstage to eat him, trapping him under its legs. Michael played dead. He was lifted on to a table covered with a bed sheet. When Randy pulled that sheet away, he had vanished into thin air. If there was one element of the show that Michael wanted to get just right, it was this moment....Randy kept pulling the sheet too hard, too soon. Sometimes, you could still see Michael...I'm pleased to report that Randy eventually nailed it, proving that magic is just as much about timing as music is"
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone
Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 15, 2011, 07:26:49 PM
ok I got to the Word to the Badd part. Here's what happened:

Jermaine hadn't spoken to Michael in awhile because he had never returned his phone calls. One day he saw on the television that he was hospitalized for chest pains in 1990 so he went to the hospital to visit him. It turned out it was actually for severe headaches (probably from the burn accident and he was being administered demerol through an IV). While he was there, Jermaine told Michael how excited he was that he was signed to work with LaFace Records with producers Babyface and La Reid. After he left the hospital, the record company said there would be a delay in his album. He constantly called back but received no answer until three months later and said that they had decided to work with a new artist for the time being. And when he asked who it was, he found out it was Michael. Apparently, La Reid and Babyface never worked things out with Michael because Michael always wanted his audio engineer/producer Bruce Swedien to be present and Michael decided not to use their songs. As a result, La Reid and Babyface wrote "Word to the Badd" and shared it with Jermaine. Jermaine went to the studio and the producers wanted to include a new verse that they had written:
          Reconstructed/ Been abducted/ Don't know who you are/ Once you were made/ You changed your shade/ was your color     wrong?

Jermaine said he didn't agree with the lyrics but he agreed with the anger provoked by them at the time. He never intended for this version of the song to be released. He recorded another version with the same hook but with all the innuendo about Michael removed but the version about Michael had been leaked.

They hashed it out and Michael was obviously upset. Jermaine blamed that he had been distant for 8 years and Michael argued that he still didn't deserve that song. Jermaine said he didn't write it but then Michael pointed out that he put his voice to it. However, they eventually made up and as a result, Michael attended more family functions.

Okay I just started to read this and I'm only on the first couple of pages and yes "the yellow brick road" which was in alot of the hoax videos and Hollywood!!!! But what got me thinking that this is another book of clues is the front cover even before you open the book. This is what I think  Michael is hiding behind a RED band which reminds of TII RED curtain "the final curtain"  and that Michael is telling us he is going into hiding then when you take the cover off MICHAEL reappears like a BAM. This could mean the COMEBACK!!! Now also Jermaine said in a interview with Chris Conelly that "yes I told you this book has surprises" So lets all read on and see what else we can find.
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone

Alright, I'm almost finished. I'm on the last chapter and I will try and detail it tomorrow because I'm tired but I can tell you the trial parts were definitely a tearjerker. But I just had to show you guys this quote:

"That same summer, Michael received a set of documents that made sense of everything, he said...those documents were sufficient to convince Michael that there had been a deliberate plan by named individuals to 'solicit other attorneys, vendors, and creditors' to file lawsuits that would have forced him into involuntary bankruptcy. He immediately instructed his new legal team to investigate and explore his rights. He also wanted the documents forwarded to the U.S. Attorney General...I don't know what happened to those documents -- after his death, a lot of things simply disappeared."

Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 16, 2011, 03:31:22 AM
And you know how there have been a lot of connections made between Michael and Willy Wonka. Well apparently he wanted to play Willy Wonka in Tim Burton's movie but because of the allegations in 2003, the role went to Johnny Depp.  And he called it his "dream role."

I am very confused though..

I don't want to be mean but I simply don't and either won't ever understand what's in these guys' heads (nothing, I suppose) to do a make up like this, like they are literally trying to draw a face on their face. They are simply ridiculous. When on earth Michael looks like this? I fail to understand.

He ment it that Michael didn't know what we were talking about. It was in the context of how fans would sit outside of his hotel room and him and Michael sometimes watched them out the window and wondered what they talked about

Ok I’ve finished the book. I waited till the end to write about this because I was waiting to see the picture but Jermaine talked about a disguise that Michael used to see one of Jermaine’s concerts during Michael’s Bad era and it was the only one in which Jermaine couldn’t recognize that it was Michael. They called it Uncle Willy and Jermaine said that he included a photo in the book so that we could see just how unrecognizable he was but in my version there was never any photo. So if anyone has the hard copy version and it’s in there, it would be great if you could post it.

It went into the child allegations but I’m going to focus on the events leading up to his death right now.

Ok so Jermaine goes into very specific detail about Michael’s debt and this was how Tohme-Tohme came into the picture. In 2008, Michael was already preparing for some kind of comeback but he wanted to get his finances in order and he was going to lose his ranch if he didn’t pay off his $23 million ranch loan.  If he lost the ranch, Jermaine said it would be a domino affect and he would eventually lose his catalogue (I can go into the specifics of the business side of it, if you guys want but I didn’t know if it was that important). So Jermaine remembered Tohme-Tohme when he had approached him previously to fund Jermaine and Michael’s idea of “Crystal City,” which was basically a huge city of hotels, a mall, golf course, parade, lights, etc. “Crystal City” obviously never went through because the ranch became more important but in the end they paid off the loan. Afterwards, they went through Michael’s finances and it turns out that Sony was “docking exorbitant amounts for such things as stationary;” $150,000 a month on security, $150,000 a month on flowers etc. “Michael was the classic example of cash-poor asset-rich: his Sony-ATV catalogue share was worth $500 million, his own MIJAC music $85 million, the now saved ranch $66.8 million, and personal possessions, art and antiques were estimated at $20 million” but he only had about $600,000 accessible in cash.

Michael signed a contract with AEG that would “cement his future.” It guaranteed a minimum payment of $36.5 million with possible a potential of $300 million and a $15 million payment that Michael was going to use on the down payment of his dream home in Las Vegas. Jermaine said that Michael had always wanted to do the tour. He had a 5 year plan that included This Is It tours, extra tours, the half-time show at the Superbowl (which the Black Eyed Peas eventually did), he would retire from music at 55 and then go into movies.  Jermaine said this is why the This Is It dancers were contracted for two years (to do the extra tours). Interestingly, the contract also called for 3 movies. He said that Michael didn’t care to do the 50 shows, however, he wanted things to be on his own terms. And so far he didn’t like some of the costumes, and the people (he wanted LaVelle Smith Jr. instead of Travis Payne…Greg Phillingains instead of Michael Bearden as the musical director, etc.) and he planned to change everything his way while he was in London and Jermaine said that that is why Michael seemed disinterested in the tour during the meetings.

Interestingly, he said Michael was not happy when AEG brought back Frank Dileo or John Branca.

Ok this is really long...I'll go into the rest of the stuff later...I need a break  lolol/

Oh.....
I'm too poor for that!
lol
Guess im off to the bookstore with my broke a$$
lolol/ well it was a birthday gift

but I'm reading through it and the first part is very emotional...it's talking about the trial and this one moment where Michael completely breaks down after he had fallen, hurt his back and is in the hospital. It's really hard to read and imagine what he went through. Michael removed his jacket, showing his bare chest, and goes "Look at me!...Look at me! I'm the most misunderstood person in the world." (pg. 12) and then Jermaine goes into very specific detail what his skin looks like from the vitiligo because Michael had hid the extent of it from them until then.

I'm crying like a baby after reading this. Michael  :cry: :cry: <33

I am very interested in that book. Jermaine loves Michael and he surely has a lot to say about his brother that we are not awared of.

We are back in point 0, Joe vs Joseph, so once again  :oops: isn´t Joe the short version of the name Joseph? If yes, then is the same name, not different.

They may be the same name, but you can't use any "short versions" or nicknames on documents that are as important as death certificates & autopsies. Birth certificates too, so I wonder why the kids' birth certificates say Joseph...?  suspicious//
Maybe the certificates are just false copies that were made for the media only.  bangbang

lolol/ lolol/ I had to share this story. Ok so Jermaine is in bed with a girl in the room that he shares with Michael:

"'I love how you stroke my thighs,' she continued, '...you're real gentle...' I'm not stroking your thighs. '...it feels good," she whispered. I peeked open my eyes and maneuvered my head to take a sly look down the bed, and that's when I saw it--Michael's arm, reaching up and over from underneath the bed, his hand circling her thigh...'She got some real creamy thighs!' he [Michael] said"

 :lol: :lol: :lol: he's such a little stud

 :lol: :lol: :lol: They re-enacted that in the Jacksons: an american dream. I never knew he actually did that !  :lol: :lol: Oh my gosh, i cant breathe!

& yeah, i also think it's weird how Jermaine is posing with MJ impersonators. How can he be with someone that looks very similar to his dead brother?  :shock:

hmmm so Michael played dead even during the victory tour...AND it involved spiders  :lol: :lol: :lol:

"...one of my brother's two giant spiders crawled electronically onstage to eat him, trapping him under its legs. Michael played dead. He was lifted on to a table covered with a bed sheet. When Randy pulled that sheet away, he had vanished into thin air. If there was one element of the show that Michael wanted to get just right, it was this moment....Randy kept pulling the sheet too hard, too soon. Sometimes, you could still see Michael...I'm pleased to report that Randy eventually nailed it, proving that magic is just as much about timing as music is"

 afraid/ afraid/ afraid/  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 16, 2011, 06:08:52 PM
 lolol/ some of the stories are really funny. Jermaine also said that him and Michael laughed about the minister using the wrong middle name during his and Lisa Marie's ceremony. Also, couldn't the kids be named after his father?? He could have put Michael to honor him, Joseph to honor his dad, and eventually katherine to honor his mother.

Anyways...now I'll go into what he said about the weeks before his death.  :'(

One thing that Jermaine really wanted to clear up is that Michael was NOT a drug addict. He did become dependent on demerol, which was legally prescribed to him, because of his excruciating pain from the burn incident and later when the bridge collapsed, hurting his back. He noted that propofol was not addicted and that it is used by an anesthetic. He did agree that Michael had insomnia problems but that they ONLY occurred during touring (which he mentioned was very common among performers). He even noted that once his children were born, he often went to bed at 9 pm and didn't stay up like he used to. He said because of that the last time he would have used propofol was during the History tour (but he doesn't know if he used it or not) so he couldn't have been addicted. He did say that it was odd that Michael was having insomnia problems during rehearsals because normally it only occurred during performer but that he could understand it since he was in a lot of stress to perform the concerts since his finances depended on it. He also said the family did attempt to have an intervention in 2002 but when they arrived they found Michael to be perfectly fine and in no need of one.

He talked about the last time that he saw him on family day on May 14th and about how healthy and fit he was. He said he had lost weight but that that was common for Michael during touring and that it was not unhealthy looking but fit. Apparently, Michael was so fit that when he ran into a friend at the doctor's office, he lifted up his shirt and said "Wanna see my six pack" ( lolol/ oh Michael  mj_bad/ I'd love to see that). When Michael left that day he was happy and told them all he would see them in London.

Jermaine then goes on to describe that something happened during the few weeks up to his death and that it is still a mystery. He says we shouldn't focus on the day of June 25th but the few weeks before. According to him, Karen Faye, somewhat Kenny Ortega, and a few of Michael's closest friends noticed something was wrong and begged AEG to do something but wouldn't. He blames AEG for "missing" the signs and is upset that no one bothered to inform the family as they would have immediately stepped in. He even mentions that fans wrote emails to Karen Faye begging her to do something. Michael's weight went from 150-155 when they last saw him to 136 lbs in a couple of months, which Jermaine says "is not only abnormal, it is frightening. For a man his height, that is thinner than anorexic-thin."

    "It all seems to have begun when Michael missed rehearsals on June 13, 14, and 15. Even on the days when he did show, there were occasions when he'd turn up at 8 pm for a 2 pm start, as if just getting out of the house was a struggle. This coincided with the time when, instead of there being two guards around Michael, his security detail now became 10-strong-- and no one seems to no why...In the routine for "Thriller," he turned left when he knew to turn right. That was odd in and of itself. But he did it a second time. He also started repeating himself--a sentence or a phrase...he struggled to finish one song and he sometimes needed a teleprompter for lyrics. Plus, he had to be helped up and down ramps and flights of stairs."

He says that they only recorded those two days of rehearsals for This is It and that he had a deceiving resurgence of energy (a lot of times people will feel like they've had a complete turn around right before they die).

This part is sad  :'(:
"On one occasion, he deliberately spoke into his mic one day as he walked offstage and muttered: "I just want someone to be nice to me today..." And a voice from the floor yelled back: "If we could just have a coherent person here today!"

"Michael wasn't chilled--he was like a block of ice to touch." That was when someone, without any AEG authorization, placed a discreet call to a doctor whom Michael had consulted in the pas. After hearing all the symptoms explained to him, the doctor said it sounded like Michael was suffering 'toxic poisoning of the brain' and should get to the hospital. AEG could never have known about this call, but for reasons that remain maddening to me, he didn't go."

"on the final rehearsal day at the Forum, on Saturday, June 20, Kenny Ortega clearly did see something that concerned him when he visited Michael at home, because one hour after he left, choreographer Travis Payne received a phone call from Kenny telling him to urgently get to the house...whatever happened and whatever was witnessed is known only to those who were present, but that same afternoon, the musical director Michael Bearden made a bizarre anouncement to dancers and crew on stage, telling them: 'Everyone needs to pray for Michael and send him good wishes.' This was four days before Michael died."

Thanks for this thread. Interesting to read your comments on the book. Obviously it's a must read. :)
 
Title: Re: You Are Not Alone
Post by: MichaelsAngel on September 16, 2011, 06:57:47 PM
You're welcome. Sorry it's taking me so long to post. It takes awhile to figure out what quotes I want to say without writing down the whole book  lolol/

Ok are the quotes about June 25th:

"Michael told people he'd be in the next day to work on his vocals...by then, Michael should have signed, sealed and delivered on his dream home in Vegas, because it was my understanding from people at rehearsals that after leaving the Staples Center, he was due to take a diversion on the way home and visit Tohme-Tohme...I don't know whether Michael went there as intended or simply went straight home, but it might explain why his ex-manager was at the hospital the next day."

"He was found on the left side of the queen bed where Dr. Murray had apparently tried to carry out CPR. On the floor, near one of the bed's feet, was a tube of toothpaste and a string of wooden beads. His laptop and a pair of eyeglasses were on the bedside table. There was also a urine sample in the room. Next to the bed was a tan-colored sofa which was, apparently, Dr. Murray's bedside seat."

"...Dr. Murray used his Iphone a lot through the early hours of that fateful day. One call was to a woman he'd recently met, logged at 11:51 an, some fifteen minutes before my brother apparently stopped breathing...and she heard a 'commotion--I heard coughing and mumbling' and she did not believe the mumbling came from her doctor friend."

"As a family, and for peace of mind, we would like to know who else--if anyone--entered and left the house on the night of Michael's death, but despite LAPD treating his death as a homicide, its investigators decided to only retain the four minutes of CCTV footage showing Dr. Conrad Murray's expected arrival. Unless the authorities surprise us, it seems that all other footage has been erased. It is hard for us to understand why such crucial footage could be wiped like that."

And these are about the hospital:

Apparently Larry King called his wife's phone, asking if he had seen TMZ's report about Michael being rushed to the hospital but he wasn't too worried because the media sensationalizes things until his mother called him to get to the hospital.  Katherine called a second time telling him that he had passed away.

"Inside, Mother was alone, just sitting there in the silence, at the far end of the table, wearing her dark glasses: not crying, just staring into space. There was no possibility of denial now."

"Outside in the corridor, I saw La Toya rushing past and then my brother Randy, looking shell-shocked. 'Somebody did this,' he kept saying. 'Somebody did this.'"
 
"It was like a sitting room: a lamp, a sofa, and with a clear window looking into a room within a room (a hoax within a hoax???). La Toya was already there, standing alone, leaning down into Michael's face, like she was talking to him. He was lying on a gurney in a hospital gown...I went over to the other side of Michael, reaching down to take his hand, rubbing his still-soft skin, like you do when you comfort someone. I couldn't believe how skeletal he was. Not skinny, but literally half the size of the thin frame I'd seen a month earlier. If a stranger had walked into the room, they would have assumed he was a man ravaged by cancer or anorexia. Or, as one of the paramedics would later say, we thought 'it was a hospice patient.'"

"Grief didn't allow me to process the impossibility of how he looked. I was still coming to terms with seeing him lifeless. I leaned down and kissed him on the forehead, telling him I loved him. But I found that I couldn't pull away. Instead, I lifted one of his eyelids because I wanted to look into his eyes, "see" him one last time. Look at me, Michael. Look at me."

"Prince, Paris and Blanket walked in with a nurse. What they said and did deserves to remain private, between them and their father. But the moment I saw those kids crumple, I had to get out of there and leave them with their auntie."

"Outside in the corridors, I saw a cast of suits standing around (Frank Dileo, Randy Phillips, and Tohme-Thome [who was recently fired by Michael])...someone then walked over to me and said they wanted me to read a press statement that confirmed Michael's death. Of course, I said, his fans need to know...some fans have wondered why I made the announcement and not a doctor. All I can say is that it was the idea of attorneys and medical staff, and it felt right to me that someone with a personal connection to Michael should do it. Let the fan community hear it from family first."

I also forget to mention that Jermaine said Michael was the master of manipulation. He wanted the press to take pictures of him shopping in a wheelchair in July of 2008 because he wanted the world to think he was frail and weak and couldn't make a comeback.
"...he was aware that everyone doubted he still had "it." So imagine--just imagine--if he bounced back and surprised the world, going from that state to this; from that "before" shot to this "after.""

About the burial and how Jermaine wanted Michael to be laid to rest at Neverland:

"I found a site not far from the train station, near a paved area with the ranch logo--the boy in a crescent moon. It was, to me, the ideal location for a private mausoleum, but Mother didn't agree, probably because she had heard Michael talk so stongly about never going back there. Yet Neverland is Michael, his joy and his fairytale, and I wall always maintain that that is where he should be."


And finally just because I like the quote:

"As we were always told, a song, story, and a life need a beginning, a middle and an end. Now we had a life to honor: the life of a kid who started off, just like everyone else, with an impossible dream. But as Michael's death returned him to where he belonged, at No. 1, I came to realize that Mr. Gordy hadn't always been right: not every story has an end. Not Michael's, anyhow. He is, through his music--that which is past and that which is yet to come--immortal. As he always wanted to be. His life, voice and message have a sense of continuation even in death and it's almost as if he's locked himself away in creative mode, writing songs up at Neverland. Sometimes that's what I tell myself."

I like to take my time with any book I read to let each page resonate in my mind- I want to absorb every detail.
Everyone is different.
 
But the thought of Michael making his classic funny face:
(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQHFpomUNUhJmGCZEG3u36xGHwVL4vFeLsPye-1Z7icSaxbwm4hdA)
while Papa Joe is lecturing Jermaine about not doing chores. Jermaine can't help but laugh at Mike's funny face. "ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?!" Papa Joe says to Jermaine! Michael runs into the bedroom holding back laughter!
hahaha
 
If you haven't got this book, get it! Its so good
 
If you are reading here Jermaine, know this: I love you very much. Not because you are Michael Jackson's brother. Because You are you! You opened up and told the world what really went on in the famous Jackson home, thank you for that. You have oblitirated ANY misconceptions about your family that I knew for so long were untrue. You are such a beautiful and honest person. I understand you are a 'self confessed cry baby' that shows your sensitivity toward all people and your baby brother Michael loves you! Once again, thanks for giving us memories of you boys growing into men and becoming all that you are today!
 
In the words of Pink Floyd: SHINE ON you crazy diamond ;)

Thank you MichaelsAngel for the post,

what about 1993 CASE/DANGEROUS DEPOSITIONS,and what about THIS IS TOUR Could it be that all was just an ILLUSION and was all about THE NAME????? ]

I respect both Jermaine and La Toya, (although don't agree with alot they have done towards michael in the past, they however are michael's brother and sister and deserve respect! However both need to remember what they both wrote or said from their younger days!!!.

 La Toya wrote in her 1991 book  (The controversial expose of life in The Jackson Family)- P.9

'The four kids to come received more typical names: Marlon David, Michael Joseph (whom we usually called Mike), Steven Randall (Randy) and Janet Damita Jo.

Ok, La Toya may of been forced to say some terrible things via her ex psyco husband Jack Gordon   but lie about her own family names! The books after 2009 i read with Skepticism  they are not michael's own words.

It is only michael i truely believe!.

 The same has if any other Jackson Family member was to bring out a book....Maybe The Jackson's books are all part of the puzzle, alittle bit of info here, alittle bit more there, alittle more in another book add in some confusion and leave it for the world to put the pieces together....Haaa it gives me something to do so why not, gets my ageing braincells working lol

Sometimes it is good to cross reference old books and mags with books and mags you read today, although mostly it is good to do what michael said to do 'look into your heart', what do 'we' know is the truth!

Much love

Just connecting some interesting dots here......
 
A painting of Michael sitting with a book on his lap with a key placed on top of it.
 
Jermaine has just written a book about Michael and has an interview about the book with "KEYS" strategically placed in the background as well as a portrait of Van Gough...who also happened to paint sunflowers (we all remember the sunflowers from last year).
 
Jermaine says in the book  "777." That's the jackpot there. The Lucky 7s..."
 
Michael wears the shirt with 777 on it in TII
 
TS has consistently raised the importance of 777 in relation to Michael and the hoax
 
Front talks about 777 from "lights out" and says "interpretation is the KEY"
 
On day 777 from "lights out" TS posts a picture on the forum of a cake with a 777 coming up as a "jackpot" on a poker machine (or slot machine I think they are called in the US) saying "Happy Birthday Michael"
 
Is this book by Jermaine a "key" and if so  how does the number 777 fit into it? Are there hidden clues within it related to the number 777? I don't have the book yet so I can't check this out.

Okay, I am sorry if this has been posted, but I did not read the thread yet because I want to finish the book first. I'm at chapter 2 on Kobo Ebook, page 10 of 114 and I have no clue which page that is in the hard copy, but Jermaine is talking about changing Michael's diapers. At the end of one of the paragraphs, he put something there, in italic (at least in the ebook): "Don't worry. Michael's okay. Michael's okay."

the way it's been put there speaks volumes to me.

Okay, back to the book (http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww173/prestonjjrtr/Smileys/1sm147Bible.gif)

Those are all really great connections. I think Jermaine has been more obvious with his clues. He seems to answer a lot of questions that we've talked about on this forum so he has to have come here before. As for hidden clues, I've read the book and I haven't figured out anything in terms of the 777 just the stuff that he directly mentioned. He does say there is a lot that we can learn in studying a person's name.

TS posted the cake from the Las Vegas bakery with the 777 and Jackpot slot machine on it. The mayor said that at 2:00 am the key would open every slot machine in the city, to which MJ laughed his beautiful laugh. Does anyone have a clue to who this MSflower5550 person is?

 jackpot 1.a. The accumulated stakes in a kind of poker that requires one to hold a pair of jacks or better in order to open the betting. b. A cumulative pool in a competition, lottery, or various other games. 2. A top prize or reward.   Has MJ somehow hit the "jackpot" with this hoax? The ultimate top prize? He has learned from all the other masters and has accumulated their points. Does he hold a pair of jacks?  :? albino/

I will post all my thoughts on the book after I am done reading (and I am crying from laughter most of the time, being at chapter 8 at the moment), but this is something I had to post to see if anyone else caught this. Jermaine kept saying in the book that Michael was born in 1958, but in chapter 8 (Kobo ebook page 92 of 121), there is this quote fueling again my theory that he was born in 1960, not 1958:

"It dated from 1977. Michael was 17 years old."

He could have been 18 at the youngest in 1977, going on 19, but NOT 17. Honest mistake, just like Jermaine made an honest mistake with The Jacksons - An American Dream where Katherine was pregnant of Michael in 1959?

Okay, I am sorry if this has been posted, but I did not read the thread yet because I want to finish the book first. I'm at chapter 2 on Kobo Ebook, page 10 of 114 and I have no clue which page that is in the hard copy, but Jermaine is talking about changing Michael's diapers. At the end of one of the paragraphs, he put something there, in italic (at least in the ebook): "Don't worry. Michael's okay. Michael's okay."

the way it's been put there speaks volumes to me.

Okay, back to the book (http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww173/prestonjjrtr/Smileys/1sm147Bible.gif)

@Jermaine: I love it so far!

Yes Souza the BOOK it's wonderful and for everyone who wants to read it it's FREE NOW.I'm happy to tell you, all my friends that the book is now on JETZY ,enjoy!!!!!

Okay...I'm just about to start chapter 13 and I have to say I'm lovin' this book. In fact I keep finding key words and lines from Front's posts peppered all through it /woohoo/ Like a companion book containing cliff notes to the cryptic. .
I've been laughing out loud while reading too. From the DaveDave tie in with  pole position  all the way to MJ being fascinated by what was being said - a hearing aide to amplify people's distant conversations and whispers- allowing him to eavesdrop. A spectacle that keeps you guys fascinated for hours Jermaine? Yes, life is a mind game 8-) and I believe you are absolutely right that Michael is the smartest thinker outside the box at any table. Thanks for the loaded line about 'collectively' failing to understand the distinction between creative brilliance and literal meaning placed in the strategic setting of religious interpretational contexts. Brilliant...just brilliant. end game...chess moves...blowin' smoke up our asses....never a truer description than this line....Michael's unique association with people he called his Soldiers of LOVE.  /bravo/

I hope the book is waiting for me when I get home later today! I am so excited by all that you guys have shared here, including all the comments, that I am ready to jump out of my skin! ;) :shock: :!: geek/

So Dave Dave and Pole position have a mention? I have always had a soft spot for DaveDave as he was the guy that really REALLY turned me into a beLIEver way back in early October 2009.And of course pole position was a huge clue- it meant that MJ was one step ahead!

Now if I close my eyes I feel that I am not alone- because there is Michael Jackson giving me a tap on my shoulder! bow/

I guess my beauty sleep will take a toll for the worse once I get my hands on said book! I will of course Put the Blame on Jermaine! /cook/

Just the word poleposition used in a sentence about MJ and Jermaine.  But I could hear MJ as Dave Dave saying it in my head when reading. Clue within a clue wrapped up in a book. Maybe that's what Rita Hayworth was singing. Put the blame on Maine not Mame. Jermaine did make a point of saying that was the nickname that Susan de Plasse[spelling?] gave him from the motown days. [just kidding]

 I've been reading it online at Jetzi's while waiting for my copy in the post, so this'll  be from the few words I scratched down as reading. I encourage you to read it yourself at the link applehead provided. This is all I jotted down and it's a mixed bag.
Believe in the happy ending
I was seated behind Michael the whole time, as I have been from the start
His routine is like clockwork, organized like some backstage itinerary
All for one and one for all
View him as a human being- imperfect - complex - fallible. Someone very different from his external image
Michael was the driver
The storm clouds and thunder of Joe's whippings
The strategy of wait and reveal
Leave them in suspense like a movie- get them curious and when they're hooked, get them overexcited...then, when the mood is right - reveal
Whenever we looked at each other, we always felt home
He always viewed his fan base as peripheral friends
Michael was fascinated by what was being said- especially when he heard his name being mentioned. Michael was born nosey. He wanted to invent a hearing aide to amplify people's distant conversations and whispers- allowing him to eavesdrop. It was a spectacle to us and kept us fascinated for many an hour
A chase for pole position first thing each morning
On one hand- he loved being a cartoon character that belonged in another world
Cartoon Michael perched in a tree reading a green book- the secret of life
He called the wives sharp clawed little peacocks
A wrought iron web of leaves framing a lantern hanging from one corner of the house with a sign saying follow your dreams whereever they may lead
The smartest thinker outside the box at any table
Layer by layer
end game chess moves
If he longed for anything, it was for a sense of freedom and the ability to breathe
the idea of 'home' to neverland
I'm not feeling it and your soul can't rest till the feeling hits home
Feeling everything- seeing nothing
Family- the lighthouse, the base camp, the head quarters, the sanctuary and Kingdom hall
watchtower illustrations as symbolism
I'm my brother's keeper
Life was a mind game
a recurring theme- a showdown of fact versus perception and fact is always the underdog.

Thanks for clarifying with a potential clue re Jermaine- Maine-Mame! Interesting deconstruction work!
 
BTW just received 2 pokes- on my shoulder penguin/ penguin/
 
Wonder from whom?
 
I love the thought of all these clues which will in a sense be invisible to the many and visible to the few...I feel that we are all in a sense in pole position by Keepin watchin so diligently and so faithfully!
 
You are Not Alone- such a brilliant title for this book by brother Maine! 8)
 
Thanks a bunch for sharing!

I know that i'm late but i've got my book later so i finished it last week! I enjoyed it and i laugh like no one at one part:

at the end of a happy afternoon, Michael's chauffeur loaded everything into the trunk and the children got in the car. We were all on the steps and Michael was all smiles, with his arm waving out the window as they drove away. We knew what he had forgotten even if he didn't. How long would it be before he realized? We waited and waited. About five minutes later, we saw the nose of the car turn back into the driveway. The car door flew open and Michael jumped out, looking all sheepish and with his hand to his nouth, dashed out, rushed by us and hurried back inside. ''I've forget Blanket''

I was reading and i could imagine MJ in front of his family who was laughing with his hand on his mouth to not laugh lollllllll

Hi all, my mum bought this book and only just finished it so I'm going to read it entirely very soon. I've only read a small amount; it looks fascinating! I've gone through the photos and I was interested in him in disguise as Uncle Willy. But I thought I'd see if any of you noticed the caption for the photo of him being pushed in a wheelchair. I don't think it's been mentioned yet. It reads "Months earlier, he had the world fooled with a deliberate act of frailty, being pushed in a wheelchair...but it was all part of his clever plan!"

My apologies if this has been noticed earlier, but it certainly raised my eyebrows.

Hi Catherine, yes we've spoken about this before - he even talked about it in some of the interviews he did when the book first came out. I didn't realise though, that it was actually a caption in the book, so thanks for that. It's almost just coming right out and saying it, isn't it?! Gotta love Jermaine!

Jermaine also wrote that if Katherine was present at he wedding of Michael and Lisa Marie she would definitely tell the "minister" that Michael's middle name isn't Joseph (Michael found it funny).
So why didn't she say anything in the court?

I also found the "logical" explanation of the "4 years" (http://www.michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com/smf2.0/index.php?topic=21960.0), if you care to read.

Yeah, it's strange. Maybe that side of Michael's family Jermaine wasn't too familiar with?
Maybe he wasn't allowed to speak about it in his book?
Ghost writer writes from the facts client gives him, maybe Jermaine didn't give him any
info on Omer, but why exactly... no idea.
