sk2001 - I agree with you. I look at the purpose of the website and think that we have lost our focus. I have no proof, but my gut feeling tells me that whoever this TS person is, is using us for their own agenda. It's hard enough to prove credibility with the Michael Jackson hoax, now we've added Elvis into the mix? Maybe we should just focus on one thing and let the other one play it out. They may or may not be connected, but I very seriously doubt that "tweeting" is going to convince anyone. If we lose whatever credibility we have, we've lost a lot.But like you, to each his own. For myself, I know that when I lose focus, I lose valuable time and resources that could be spent on whatever my original goal is....in business, they call that getting into the weeds.No bashing please.

Thanks Rita.. I'm glad you understand . My comments are supposed to let anyone down but it's just getting easier to lose credibility. First we lost it over 'the sun article' situation that made us look like idiots. Although Souza and mo's intensions were so good. So if we link elvis to this now, many will roll eyes at us even more. O well. Like I said, goodluk to those who want to go that route. Hope you achieve your goals I don't think I can convince people of 2 hoaxes personally.

I wish all these brilliant ideas weren't so 'techie'!! I'm one 'of a certain age', (a bit older than MJ, let's put it that way!), and posting on a forum such as this is about as far as my expertise goes!I want to do my bit but I am very lacking in skills in this department, and I've never even heard of most of the 'well known' people mentioned!
I think this is something we can all do. Different audiences need different approaches, that is for sure. Do it all with love and you can't go wrong.
There are enough evidences to show that Elvis can really be alive and something is going to happen soon about the subject with the DNA and Lisa Marie who will probably be asked to give a DNA sample to complete the tests and avoid an exhumation. So it's really an opportunity for us to talk about Elvis before this happens.
Whether you're an Elvis fan or whether or not you care about his death, it doesn't change the probability that Michael is a fan of his and that Michael learned a lot from the 'death' of Elvis. That is undeniable. And try telling an Elvis fan or and Elvis hoaxer that you don't care and you'll be put in your place real fast JUST like MJ fans/hoaxers. It doesn't matter what WE personally think, Michael created this hoax and if Elvis was an inspiration for him then we must embrace that no matter what we believe and no matter what we are comfortable with. I have been telling my Grandma about the MJ hoax for the past year. She's always a good listener no matter what. But she didn't really start to HEAR my message until I shared all of the Elvis information with her. She loves Elvis like I love MJ. Once I shared everything with her, she started asking lots of questions regarding both their deaths, and she started listening intently on the possible reasons I gave her for MJ to hoax his death. I realize this is just ONE encounter, just ONE person that has been reached. But if everyONE of us had just ONE conversation like the ones I've been having with my grandmother, then maybe we could make a significant difference in awareness around the world. My advice for the younger generations here and especially Americans - talk to your elders, especially grandparents! Talk to them about the death of Elvis, try to get a feel for how they already view his death, and go from there. My grandma has always "had a feeling" that Elvis didn't really die, but she never researched it due to lack of resources or a lack of understanding available resources. Some older people aren't as technology savvy as we are, so have a computer on hand to pull up demonstration tools like this website and videos/pictures. When I showed my grandma the picture of "Jesse" - Elvis' new identity - She began to cry before I even explained the photo. She knew it was him and was all ears after that. Some people do not have access to the information we do, so we must share it with them! I think this is something we can all do. Different audiences need different approaches, that is for sure.
