Someone shared this pic on facebook. I laughed so hard. Is this a MAJOR clue in this hoax? You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
I had the same kind of reservations. It seemed like they were portraying MJ as a complete loner too oblivious and naive to everything going on in his life. But, I didn't feel like they were completely trashing him in their book, either. There were moments they described that really showed how caring and kind he was to everyone. I agree that they took advantage of not signing confidentiality agreements, but I felt that they chose not to sign it because a) it was supposedly never given to them to sign when they first started working for MJ and b) they didn't like the new Jackson camp that came in and took over after them. I don't feel they did so with the intent to write a book someday. Also, I agree that paying the bodyguards in cash would have been considered "under the table" and illegal but would it have really mattered? One of the bodyguards mentioned a time they had to take a commercial flight and he was stopped at airport security when they discovered a carry-on luggage with hundreds of thousands of cash inside. The airport security told him he had to claim this, but eventually let him through once one of MJ's people told them who he was travelling with. I would assume that was totally illegal.
And the most important fact...the movie production company is Phoenix Palace Production. The phoenix in classical mythology is a unique bird that lived for five or six centuries in the Arabian dessert, after this time burning itself on a funeral pyre and rising from ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle.
I watched the trailer...very interesting. I'd actually like to see it. I think USC is a great film program and judging from the trailer I think it might be pretty compelling to watch. I read that Farrakhan used to be a singer and had several Top 100 Billboard hits (Wikipedia- so probably not the best source). But, he gave it up to focus more on his role with the NOI. Other interesting things about Farrakhan:1. His son-in-law, Leonard Muhammed, was Michael's advisor in late 2003. After Santa Barbara raided Neverland in November 2003, the Nation of Islam suddenly took over MJ's security, supposedly giving legal advice, overseeing accounting, making the 60 minuntes interview deal for MJ, and even controlling the entire Jackson camp. They apparently scared the shit out of everyone before MJ decided not to use them anymore. I hear so many negative crap about the NOI, but I think at this time MJ was trying to dis-associate himself from Marc Schaffel and Deiter Weiser and I think the NOI effectively pushed them away for the time being. I kind of suspect they were still advising MJ, but from a distance until his 'death.'2. Have you seen Farrakhan's speech about Michael jackson in 2009? Very powerful.You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginI definiately feel Michael Amir and the NOI have a role in the Hoax. If closed mouths indeed reveal the depths of loyalty, then they have proven to be very loyal because I haven't heard anything from them after MJ's 'death.'

It was a theme at the London Olympics, at Conchita Wurst (translate the meaning of THAT name!)'s win at Eurovision, and recently Phoenix, Arizona, usually hot and dry this time of year, received more rain in one day than they get an entire year.

I got the impression from the writers that Michael was oblivious to the day to day operations of his enterprise. Sounds like he needed a controller and income auditor that would enforce restrictions and hold his team accountable. I think that paying under the table would have mattered, any reason to arrest MJ. Getting back to Michael Amir Muhammad and his film projects. Here is an interesting fact...Michael Amir Muhammad directed an original documentary chronicling the life of The Honorable Louis Farrakhan in music. The movie is titled, "Let's Change the World:My Life's Journey Through Music". The film showcases Minister Farrakhan as a master classical violinist. Minister Farrakhan wanted to give something in the gift of music that would help show the universality of his message people often hear in word, but not in his music. An exclusive screening was on May 11, 2013, which just so happened to be Minister Farrakhan's birthday. You can catch the trailer on You Tube. Your thoughts?
