Justice should be for all.
Let me begin the blog by saying that this is not about MJ but it IS about justice. We all plead for justice and justice is what this young man needs.

His name is Francisco Juan Larrañaga also called Paco.

Paco was convicted for a crime he didn’t do and was sentenced to death.
It all began in 1997 in the Philippines where 2 young girls – the Chiong sisters – was brutally murdered. Quickly someone stated that Paco and 7 other men kidnapped, raped and killed these girls, even the mother of the young girls said they did it.
Only problem was that Paco was in school that day and later that evening he was with a bunch of friends 186 miles from Cebu where the murder took place. How can he be two places at the same time? Hire a private jet? No!
Nonetheless he was arrested and went to jail in spite of his friends and teachers having proofs of Paco being with them at the time of the crime. They had photos and the teacher had a piece of paper stating that Paco was there that day.

Short summary

Everyone could see that these young men were innocent – the lawyers, the families, friends and the people in Manila could see that they didn’t murder the Chiong sisters. Worth to mention is that only one of these girls was found, the other one is still missing. Mrs. Chiong never once looked at the girls face but identified her while she had a cloth over her face. How could Mrs. Chiong identify that girl as her daughter?
Nonetheless they were put in jail and had to face a trial, a trial that was so outrageous you just couldn’t believe it. When the question of the identity of the body was brought up in court, the judge declared it of no relevance to the case. It was like going to the Zoo. Paco was not allowed to speak up nor was the other 7 young men. During the trial the judge fell asleep and didn’t care about all the witness and the evidence that proved their innocence.
A young man named David Valiente Rusia took the stand and claimed he was with Paco and the others that night. He told the judge and the jury that they kidnapped, raped and killed the Chiong sisters. Paco didn’t know who this man was and yet the judge took his side and let him speak. The  court only permitted Larrañaga’s counsel to cross-examine him for half an hour, despite the fact that Rusia’s direct testimony lasted for days. Long story short, after 2 years the judge finally had the penalty ready. The seven co-defendants were convicted of murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection. Mrs Chiong fell to the ground and cried happy tears for the verdict. She even visited David Rusia in prison and gave him gifts, food and motherly love before the verdict. Why would a mother visit her daughters killer??
Later David Rusia, who was the only one that confessed, was set free.

In my opinion there is so much corruption in the Philippines justice system since he is the only one who is out of jail. Mrs Chiong is still in contact with him and he is visiting the Chiong family as much as he can. Fishy I know.
Paco never had the change to talk to Mrs. Chiong so he could explain to her that he was innocent. During the documentary we followed Paco in prison and felt his pain. He had to join gangs for safety all though he never once committed any violence in prison. A few months before his death penalty was up he pleaded for justice. He pleaded for a new hearing, he even pleaded Spain for help. Paco is half Spanish. By that time the Philippines had a new governor and she promised to help Paco get his case to the supreme court. Even the Spanish King thought this case was outrageous. Finally after many years Paco’s case reached the supreme court, but the only thing they did was to remove Paco from death row, and instead he could serve his time in prison.

Transfer to Spain

In September of 2009, the Department of Justice approved Larrañaga’s transfer to a Spanish prison. Thelma Chiong, the mother of the victims, expressed shock over the decision, saying that, despite Larrañaga’s Spanish Citizenship, “If you commit a crime in the Philippines, you are jailed in the Philippines”. Larrañaga, escorted by two Spanish Interpol agents, left for Spain on October 6, 2009.  His good behavior at the New Bilibid Prison was taken into consideration, and he will serve the rest of his sentence at the Madrid Central Penitentiary where he still is today. The spanish authorities will only release Paco if he admits to the crime he is blamed for.

About a week ago I had the opportunity to watch the documentary “Give Up Tomorrow”. It left me with anger, frustration and a great sadness for these young men, whose lives have been ruined. Like I said to begin with this started in 1997 and Paco was a young 19-year-old boy with lots of goals in his life. Now 14 years later Paco is still in jail in Spain. Just think about how he feels. His life is forever changed, he is marked for life and will never again have a normal life. I hope that one day Paco will be free because that’s what he needs to be. He needs to be with his family. I for one will not give up on him and I am willing to do what ever I can to help free Paco, whether it is to send the Spanish consulate an email or to take it a step further.

You can do the same. Add a ribbon, speak up for Paco. Be his voice. I ask the MJ community to help Paco. Tell your friends about this innocent young man. This is a link to the Spanish Justice Department and I highly recommend you to use the contact form. Tell them about Paco, ask them to have a look at his case. Tell your friends to do the same.

What kind of Justice system do we have?

Last I want to express my confusion about the modern justice system I thought we had. The Philippines justice system is clearly corrupted since they never once listened to Paco or the 35 witness. What shocks me the most is the Spanish justice system because somehow they are acting like the Philippines justice system. They still haven’t looked at Paco’s case. I don’t know if and when they find the “time” to do so. Soon I hope.

It really breaks my heart to write this, but Larrañaga, born in 1977, will be 61 when he is released for something he didn’t do.

I want to thank Michael Collins and Marty Syjuco for making this heartbreaking documentary. You are Paco’s true fighters and we are only here to back you up.

If you wish to write to Paco you can do it here http://www.justiceforpaco.org/

We at WAMJ finds it important to support this case, because the MJ Community is all about justice, and we must not forget that everybody – not just MJ – is entitled to justice. And that’s why we write about Paco and ask you to support him.
Unfortunately we don’t think Paco is the only one being unfairly prisoned in this world, but we are many people with many voices, and this will not be the first time we raise our voice as one.

The people behind the Free Paco Now campaign, needs his story to be spread. Because the more people knowing about Paco and talking about, the bigger the pressure we can put on those governments treating people unfairly. Helping Paco, will help others too, because awareness is what is needed right now. Help us spread Paco’s story. Take the first step to fight injustice in this world with us.

We will post more blogs about Paco as soon as we are updated.

Michael Jackson was being treated unfairly, blamed for something he didn’t do and facing 20 years in prison if he hadn’t won his trial.
In many ways, the case is the same with Paco, the only difference is that Paco was not allowed to talk, nor was his defence and he was sentenced to death.

Paco’s story have been read times on this blog, please share it with others.

Free Paco NOW!

If you have the possibility of watching the documentary about Paco, you should do it:

During that process, I was on YouTube and was watching a video someone had in a playlist, and after listening to one of his songs there, the next video in the playlist starts automatically. “Michael Jackson’s Crotch aka The Force” was the title, and I almost spit out my coffee. The subject of this video I will leave for you to guess, but in addition to the close-ups, they were even promoting the MJsinvible Campaign. This video had ridiculous many views and ditto comments.

So I was beginning to worry about that you might not remember what Michael was really about? Music, dancing, magic, adventures, big shows, love (not sex or porn), humanity and basically being a good-hearted soul. A multi-talent the world had never seen before and never will see again!

And that’s why I am once again writing a blog here.
I kind of felt sorry for him, thinking about all those years of hard labour, when obviously all he needed to do was to pose in tight jeans. Or what?

Then I remembered someone in here recently commenting on the blogs I have written about manipulated photos and dignity, and her conclusion was the I probably had no life since, I could get upset by those things. You know what? It’s okay for you to say that, you don’t know me, but this is my blog and I say what I want. I pity you, for thinking that to be a good fan you have to act like a bitch in heat. I hope that fans like that are rare, but if I need to judge by the views of the before mentioned video(s), then I am not so sure.

For some time I have been staying away from the MJ Community and the buzz around trials, petitions, campaigns and whatever. Because I think the fans are – although persistently fighting for justice, and hats off for that – they are in danger of getting caught up in negativity, and to be spreading that when it comes to Michael’s legacy.
Yes, there are people using MJ’s name for money, greed and wish for stardom. There are even more using his name to promote their own causes. But as a fan you can use his name to spread joy and glory to his name. To overshine the negativity and the greedy people and let his true legacy shine through.

Click to see the book

Watch my video below and feel the magic again. Visit the book I made long ago filled with pictures of Michael.

I miss the days when the memory of Michael was about all his legacy and not just about fighting to make an ignorant world see the same as us. I miss the joy Michael and his music spread among us. I miss the days when Michael was an inspiration for us all to be better persons and to make positive changes, and we would do it just to honor Michael and not to achieve or promote anything.

Let’s not forget what Michael was all about. Magic.. Relive it!

What is going on with the shameful Tribute planning in Wales is even more embarrassing and shocking to us than any previous statement, interview or tv appearance by MJ’s family members. We are forced to watch tickets high-pricing (for which no refund is given to fans if at least 50% of the estimated celebrities don’t join the show or give up last-minute), to swallow bitter pills and fight like crazy due to great indignation when old glories of rock ( e.g. Mr. Simmons, who else?) twice embarrass us with their past statements or new participation in the above mentioned show.

We have to endure all that, and we can deal with it, because we are diehard, loyal fans. We are strong grown-ups, and most of all, somewhat detached from MJ’s familiar environment. BUT…What about MJ’s three kids? What about them?

They are still very young and in a certain way entangled in family dynamics. They still don’t have the ability to see who’s really by their sides, who’s sincerely acting on their welfare, who’s really true and trustworthy to them. They are still too young and innocent to see who the real Jackson’s are. It seems to me that these three guys are being provided for, protected and educated by vultures, people whose only interest is their own wallets, and not the kids’ interests.

I am deeply worried for these kids. The idea of seeing them as puppets at the hands of MJ’s family, simply disgusts me. It makes me sick to see them paraded as trophies, whether in public appearances or in paparazzi’s shots, taken without their knowledge, when they are engaged in their school activities. It simply gets on my nerves to see them used or eventually abused because of their surname.

I am really concerned for their future. I hope they will inherit their father’s sensitivity, intelligence and diplomacy to be able to get by in every situation. We all know Michael was doing a great job in raising them, let us hope that all his efforts are not undermined by the bad influence family members can exercise on them.

By saving MJ’s children from their relatives’ greed, the morbid curiosity of the media, the calumnies that can be put to them, we can really help them be the ADULT SONS Michael was dreaming of. Paris, Prince and Blanket are his LEGACY, his FUTURE.
According to me, they ONLY are entitled to speak on behalf of their father, and act to preserve Michael’s music and charitable deeds to the future generations of fans worldwide. They CAN really inspire fans to keep up Michael’s good works in music, art and charity!

We have the civil responsibility to help these kids , since once again we have given the world proof of our support. Internet can show us endless possibilities to make this goal come true.
Shall we count on you, readers?

As most of you readers probably know, it’s about restoring dignity to the 2001 undervalued “Invincible” album and to put it back on the Top Charts. While I completely support this campaign, joining forces with this blog crew, I still wonder what’s wrong with the Jackson’s? What’s behind this dysfunctional family? What does make them announce a Tribute Concert for MJ (as you can see in the articles posted on CNN , TMZ  and BBC , right after the publication on TMZ site of a dignified (or rather diplomatic?) statement by Mrs. Jackson on the involvement of the Estate over MJ killing?

Bad move, Jackson’s! Once again you have failed!
This Concert is ill-timed, unclassy and indecent. Three strong adjectives, YES!

It’s ill-timed, because concomitant with a criminal trial starting on 20th Sept and, please, excuse me if I don’t attend your “superb” tribute, because I’m more interested in following the trial to get justice served, than seeing YOU celebrating your greed!

It’s unclassy, because although you’re trying to put up a show with big celebrities, there’s no class in an event where MJ’s children will be paraded as the survivors. In the press conference you say that part of the proceedings are going to a fund put up for the kids. The kids will have plenty of money as they come of age, if you stop lavishly spending your sibling’s money, stop luxuriously living at his expense. Michael had class, dignity and good sense, that’s why he decided to live without you all.

It’s indecent, because you have no respect for THOSE grieving: US!!
We worldwide fans are HIS real family! We are still fighting back tears for your son, brother, uncle…while you’re STILL spoiling his good name, dissipating his money, ruining his career as an artist!

In the middle of this crappy nonsense, the only sign of dignity and good sense comes from Randy, who – also speaking on behalf of Jermaine, has posted a statement on his Twitter and objects to the tribute!
I fully believe in Randy’s good intentions, but I’m somewhat skeptical about Jermaine’s ones…We don’t know anything about Janet’s position, or Reebie’s… Maybe they are taking distance from this parade of greed, or simply minding their own business and privately grieving.

I only hope they give up planning this tribute. In the words of Randy, “ there will be a time and a place for an amazing and deserving tribute to Michael”.

And you, READERS, what do you think about these events? Should we consider this epic fail by the Jackson’s another triumph of greed over justice?

He told the people at the camp he was there to tell them about the bombing  in Oslo. He gently asked them to come to him and wait. What he did next no one could imagine.

He shot them one by one, and people started to run for their lives. Some ran into their tents for safety but the man followed them and shot them all. A lot of teenagers ran down to the beach and started to swim to the main land, but a lot of them didn’t make it because the shooter was right there behind them.

The death tolls keep rising, several people are still missing since they are not yet done searching the buildings in Oslo and the waters around the island.

Be a part of the human chain against violence and terror and do it in sympathy with the many people directly affected by this:
http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/lenke.php

The photo below shows a young boy begging  for his life. We can only imagine what happens next. It’s so horrible to think about.

We here at WAMJ sends our deepest condolences to the norwegian people. We encourage the MJ community to show support and sympathy and support this human chain, although it has nothing to do with Michael Jackson.

We just know that Michael would be heartbroken over this and that he for sure would support it.

Help us spread the message, tweet it, send this video to all you know, post it on Facebook – let’s make it a worldwide chain!

It takes all MJ fans to make this a success, but together we can do it!

Right now the fans are launching yet another campaign to show support to MJ. Several other fan campaigns have been successful before, and this is a way the fans are showing that we stand together in honoring Michael’s legacy.

The aim is to bring the album “Invincible” to number 1 on the charts, to show that MJ IS invincible and – of course – to show that we, the fans, still care.

First track on the album is “Unbreakable” and when Jermaine learned about this campaign, his response was:

@clearmjsname1 Unbreakable was Michael's favorite track. I support your good intention—
Jermaine Jackson (@jermjackson5) June 22, 2011

Show your support at the end of your tweet messages adding #mjsinvincible. If you can afford to do so, please purchase Invincible on iTunes or Amazon or at a local music store. Help spread the word about this campaign, so as many as possible will join.

Make sure to join this campaign because we at this difficult time think  it is important to send out support for Michael, and let everyone know he is Unbreakable.

We have done it before. United fans can accomplish a lot, like the campaign to re-insert Michael’s name at the auditorium at Gardner’s School.

With only 2 days left to the 2 years anniversary of Michael’s passing, join the campaigns and the continued fight for Justice and for Michael’s legacy.

Show you still care.

Readers since feb 22 2011. Click to view in large

It is amazing to see that even though we are not being very active on this blog, it still has a lot of readers. And for that we would like to give you a big thank you!

It proves to us that our blogs have been important to many of you, and of course it is nice to know that we did not waste our time writing here.

So what are the future for this blog? Right now I cannot tell you that, because I don’t know. Due to a lot of turbulence that we  managed to keep away from the blog, it seems like there are not that many writers left.

Lisalittleme decided to take a break, but she is still working on a blog about the bodyguards, and as far as I know, she intends to finish it sometime.
Danny and I have been occupied elsewhere, and I don’t think we need to elaborate further on that, because that is something that does not belong in here.

I hope that at some point we will get back to you and write some more, and in the meantime; thank you for staying with us.

Under here you see a list of what some of you have been reading most since January 28th 2011 (it is too long to publish in full) :

What is going on with our planet?

Japan are placed in a risky earthquake zone, and being the most high-tech country in the world, especially when it comes to earthquakes, they were to some extent prepared. But probably not for the size of this disaster.

Many buildings caught fire because of the quake, and the following tsunami has made the fires mobile, spreading them and making them more dangerous.
Pictures of the tsunami washing everything away , has filled the medias today, and I bet we all will remember the pictures of cars floating around with the lights on, meaning with people inside them.

I know we all think about those affected by the disaster and pray for them.

Some have talked about a theory about a super moon having something to do with this. Super moon means it is closer to Earth than usual and causing tides to rise and always seems to be followed by big natural disasters. The moon is actually very close to Earth right now, and it is happening only every 19th year. (article written 3 days before the earthquake)

Most likely this disaster has nothing to do with the moon or the pollution or CO2, or all the other stuff, we always worries about. Earthquakes is a regulator in the earth, our planet is mobile and changing all the time, and has always done so.
But I do think the events of today sets a lot in perspective. We have the “normal” disasters on this planet to deal with, and they seem big enough, without us contributing to make others and bigger disasters by living an egoistic life.

Maybe this is the last call for a change. Maybe this is our last chance. Remember that any changes starts with yourself, you don’t have to wait for others to start.

We need to join forces and do something for our Earth and our world, at least if we would like to keep living here. It is never too late, start today. Think about what you give and take on this planet, and how it is effected by it.

One month ago I made this video Planet Earth Poem, and at that time I was talking about writing a blog to go with it. Today was that day.
Michael was very engaged in our planet, and he loved it with all his heart.
This planet is very rare and it contains some unbelievable beauty. Most people don’t notice it, they take it all for granted. So I made this video of Michael’s poem and some beautiful places.
Let’s try and preserve our home. It is the only home we have.

But I will tell you about some of what happened, although it is so complicated I probably cannot cover it all, even if I wrote an extremely long blog.
Basically what happened back then, was us being set up by one and the same person. This set up also included VforVendetta and DontplaygamesV and several other people and it was planned long time ago. All the drama was created by one single person, and this person is still going at it, even though the rest of us have laid down our weapons and made peace.

A lot of hurtful things were said, on both sides. A lot of personal info was revealed, on both sides. Everyone in this drama has contributed with a little or a big amount of insults and hurt, so the only way to end it, was to make peace, wipe the slate clean and move on from there.

Some of us did that. But it was a process and a hard one. At one point I really needed some help, and I called you Mjfam, my 1200 followers, that normally declared eternal support for me, you suddenly got very quiet. Only a few really stood up for me. I was disappointed at first, but I don’t blame anyone, because I now understand you just didn’t want to get involved. That is human nature to do so.
But I have never felt so alone.

Today I write this because as I told you earlier, the drama goes on and people are still being hurt. This is not what Michael would have expected from his fans. He dealt with hurt all his life, but he never gave back, he had more important issues to deal with, and more important messages to deliver. I am not taking sides in this matter, but I am saying; enough stop it! Leave your issues behind you and move on!

I think we as a fan community, trying to honor the legacy of a man with rhinoceros skin, should support those that get caught in the games of others, I think we should let the players know that we are not supporting these dramas and don’t want them in our global family.
Most importantly I think we need to stick together and keep our own place clean.

True friendship and genuine caring is the key words in our unique MJfamily. Unity above all. And even though my friendship with these people might never be same again, at least we are no longer fighting one another. Whatever happened in the past, stays in the past and we go from here.

I know several of you have experienced stalking and hurting from other fans, I know because some of you have told me so, and I have tried to help you the best I could. And not feeling completely alone in situations that scares you, is important.

In this case the manipulator seems to be someone many of you know from the hoax on YT, and someone you might not consider being like this, but this game consists of so many aliases and fake personalities, that you would be completely floored, if I managed to explain the extent of it to you. This person promised me to stay out of trouble, and walk away, when I made peace with everyone, but that promise has not been kept.

I got caught up in this drama back then, I am not proud of that, but I want to make sure you don’t make the same mistake. And maybe together we can let our voice be heard and end all this once and for all. Believer or non believer – that doesn’t matter. Abusing people and stalking them is just not okay.

The reason for this discussion  is that Souza, the admin of MJDHI, has been offered a permanent spot on a magazine. A spot where she is supposed to tell about the hoax and the conspiracies regarding MJ. The owner of the magazine has been reading MJDHI, and is eager to get the hoaxers to use their findings and discussions in his magazine, which by the way is brand new and have no readers nor sponsors yet. So he needs something that really can make his magazine popular and known, he needs PR and he needs a reader base.

Actually he got it all already, just by sending Souza an offer. The PR since the discussion of his magazine has become the subject of a heated discussion among thousands of MJ fans already. The reader base is establishing itself, because I bet all the hoaxers, at least MJDHI members, will do anything to get a copy with their articles in it. I don’t even think it will be necessary to mention the name of the magazine here, so I won’t. You probably know it already. And if you don’t, you didn’t miss that much. This blog is not meant as free PR.

Back to the discussion. Several members of MJDHI don’t think this is a good idea, they still remembers what happened when Mo & Souza went to The Sun, and it ended with an article telling that Dave Dave is Michael Jackson in disguise.

Souza on the other hand, wants the hoax out to people. She want’s MJDHI to become more known, more visitors and just more fame. She is not asking for permission to do this, she is telling she is doing it.

I have no idea why she thinks it is so important to spread their hoax theories among people, who might not be MJ fans at all.
MJDHI is an open forum, everyone can read everything in there, and when they went to The Sun, they told they had 1 million visitors a day. Apparently that is not enough, they need more.  Why? It is like you are trying to spread a new religion..
Making more believe in a hoax does not make the hoax more plausible. Did someone promise MJ would return if the numbers of believers reaches a certain level? I don’t get it..

When Pearl Jr published her E-book, she went to the hoax forums and got all her material there, not taking into consideration if people wanted their findings published in Pearl’s book. Now Souza want’s to publish her members findings and ideas, to get more visitors. And she claims she does not make money on the forum and the 1 million visitors a day, so why do you need more?
Shoveling theories down the throats on people, who have not even heard about the hoax, does not make them hoaxers. It just labels most MJ fans as lunatics. MJ too for that matter.

So the big discussion is whether Souza is entitled to say yes to this, on behalf of every hoaxer, MJDHI member or not, on behalf of every MJ fan who will get boxed together with the hoaxers.

Did anyone elect Souza – a proclaimed non MJ fan – to be the representative for MJ’s fans? I did not, and I certainly hope you will be very careful when talking about MJ fans, and also when mentioning MJDHI members and hoaxers in general, because you can’t even agree on the theories you have in your forum and they can’t be proven either.

Anyone who might object to Souza’s plans, are told to stop stabbing her in her back and ultimately to leave the forum (and of course leaving all their material behind). This is not new. The approach at MJDHI have always been like that, and I have been banned and have had 2 users deleted there. I might have commented in MJDHI if that was not the case, but as it is, this blog is my only way to comment on this.

If you need to go out and tell about the hoax, do it as yourself, as a private person, do not mention forums or fangroups to give your statements more weight. You might end up speaking on behalf of some people who do not back you up, and it might backfire on all MJ fans.
The style you run at MJDHI, with discussing everything in public, only allowing yay sayers and back padders, and banning everyone who dares to speak against the admin, gives blogs like this.

You could avoid it, by making your forum private, but something tells me that visitors numbers are more important to you, than helping MJ.
I am not a hoaxer, I am a MJ fan and I don’t want to be mentioned in your hoax/conspiracy articles. I do not in any way want to be affiliated with your forum or beliefs, and this blog is my opinion only.

There are many strong believers in Christianity, but since the first words were written so long after, they are built upon stories that are passed on between generations, and have most likely changed over time.

There are several evidences that this story has been altered and fitted into a male dominated church, were women plays a very little role, and are not that welcome.
Mary gave birth to Jesus. Mary Magdalene was the one to discover that Jesus has resurrected from the dead. Two very important pillars in the Christian faith, but after having served their purpose these women disappears out of the history.
To be a strong believer, you have to believe in conception by the Holy Ghost, and Jesus waking up from the dead and leaving his grave.

The facts of the story have probably been twisted or altered to fit into the wanted picture of what happened, and who was important, and this is by the way inevitable over such a long period of time.

The Gospels are not historical facts. There are no way to prove or disprove them, yet billions believe in them. We have no way of proving Jesus ever lived, or the people he surrounded himself with. There are no proofs, yet we accept it as the truth.

2000 years later we decorate some more on the story, now making  Mary Magdalene the wife of Jesus, giving them a child, an ancient bloodline in Europe and so on, all in the name of entertainment. New beliefs are founded, movements have started. In 100 years or more from now, people might take these addings as truths, simply because the story keeps changing over time.

Has a new religion seen the light of day?
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying Michael was anything like Jesus, and I have a great respect for religion. I just find some similarities here. Twisting facts to fit a story being one of them, and even some of the worshipping too.

The MJ believers and their faith in Michael delivering cryptic important messages, only to be understood by the smartest or interpret by the loudest? The unwritten codex of how to behave if you are a real believer, and the dividing of fans into levels of believing..

In the future, the story of Michael Jackson, may look different from the one we know today, because so many information’s were altered and fitted into the story of a hoax.

If MJ had a message and it was so important, as many say it is, wouldn’t the message be put as simple as possible, to make more understand it? What purpose does it serve, only to enlighten a few with this so important message? That’s why I don’t believe there is a reason for a hoax, or a deeper message from MJ. That’s why I think some of you are being deceived into believing things like TIAI.

There are a hardcore group of fans, still hunting for evidence of a hoax or a deeper message. Can we trust their findings at all? Or are their findings manipulated to fit the overall message and belief of a hoax?
Would the hoaxers ever admit it, if they found solid proof of MJ being dead, and no hoax? Because admitting that, would mean the end of the hoax and all the believing, right? And it would also mean 18 months wasted on illusions and wishful thinking. Who would like to admit that?

But where am I going with all this? Well, I want you to be sceptic. I want you to ask questions, to yourself and to others, before believing anything. I mostly want you to reject anything that are not 100% correct, because the altering of the truth starts with us. And so does the preservation of the truth.
Some of the hoaxers are using some of the same methods the religious preachers, have been using for millenniums, hence the part of the Gospels earlier. The hoax even seems to have its own “prophets”, the speakers of the almighty “truth”, deciding what is important or not, like e.g. TIAI. Or what people to listen to.
Could there be some people in this hoax, that had interests in going on feeding the believers with “evidences”?
Is there someone behind all this keeping this alive? Who get’s something out of keeping this hoax alive?

If you don’t believe then you are a non believer. And that often means lower than nothing, or even being a hater, if you ask a believer. On Twitter I have seen believers cutting off old friends, because they were non believers. No longer good enough or worthy of being followed by them.

I don’t think the fans are united. They are very divided, and dividing fellow fans into believers and non believers initiated this division.
A recent example would be the last album “Michael”.
The album did not sell as expected. Some expected every single MJ fan to purchase this album, and they did not. Why?
A group of fans decided to boycott Sony, thinking Sony are using Michael’s goodwill among the fans, and releasing music he himself would not have released. So they did not buy the album as a protest. Others did not buy it, because they simply didn’t like it that much.
And now the rest of the fans, who wanted Michael as number 1 on the charts, in the first week for any price, are blaming the Sony boycott fans for this not happening.

As an MJ fan you are not obligated to buy anything against your will. Remember that.

But instead of boycotting Sony (and Michael), you could have bought one of his old records, just to send a statement to Sony. How cool would it not have been if  Thriller was number 1 in the first week of releasing “Michael”?

In my eyes, Michael was all about love and tolerance, and I know that most fans try to mirror this, but they are not always very successful about this. Some of the actions taken by fans reflects pure punishment, instead of tolerance and education.
Let me bring out two petitions as examples; Fire Martin Bashir and Fire Diane Dimond, both initiated by MJ fans.

I fully understand your feelings about these two people, but I simply can’t see how firing them, will bring any justice to Michael.
Instead I think the fans should try to unite with them (yeah, you read that right!), and make them understand what they did wrong, and make them use the current medias, that they are employed at, to bring him that justice. And instead of  countless “down this or down that, sign here or call these” campaigns, you should launch a “Do the right thing”-campaign, and include it on all the people who owes MJ Justice. One campaign that covers it all, that would really be raising our voices as one, instead of what we are doing right now.

I know it is a tough task, but I am sure MJ fans have the resources and the spirit, to educate these two people, in a loving and positive way. And many others for that matter.

MJ fans do have agenda’s. They want justice, and they work hard to get it, my deepest respect to these tireless soldiers of justice. Sometimes getting the needed support from the fan group is very hard, but they just keep going.

But some of them aim high and low, and are often led by the heat of the moment. It is all so very emotional and unstructured. Maybe it was more effective to choose the battles with care and not be led by emotions.

MJ fans also want the truth. But what truth is it they are looking for one might ask?
They analyze dreams, tweets, blogs, articles, pictures, videos and a lot of other stuff. And they call themselves investigators. But I don’t see so much investigation into the things that really happened on June 25th 2009, and the time leading up to this date.
Did anyone have a motive? Who? What about all the money in this, could that be something that needed investigation? Sure they covered the autopsy among other stuff and Murrays part in this, but due to their belief, they have to declare Murray innocent in advance, because anything else would mean Michael died, right? How reliable does that sound?

My hopes for 2011 are that MJ fans will get it together. Help supporting the real justice matters in the right way, no matter belief, and for hoaxers to either finally stop digging in the private matters of Michael, where they have no business, or start looking at the whole thing from a new perspective instead of following a road to nowhere.

But most of all I wish for MJ fans to put their differences aside and unite. We did it 18 months ago, we can do it again.

Happy New Year!
