Friends Say Katherine Jackson is Joe's Puppet

People closely connected to the Jackson family tell TMZ they believe Joe Jackson is manipulating Katherine Jackson to make a quick buck -- to the point she's now in business with a dude who's in the erotic content business.
Katherine's has partnered with Howard Mann for her new book, "Never Can Say Goodbye: The Katherine Jackson Archives," according to hollywoodnews.com. Mann has made a fortune on online gambling and erotic content, venturing into online nude gambling.
And Katherine has sold a story about Michael's kids to a tabloid and even helped Joe sell cheesy MJ belts. But here's the thing -- Katherine doesn't need the money. She's getting an allowance from Michael's estate and will have the use of untold millions of dollars generated by co-executors John Branca and John McClain.
Joe, on the other hand, isn't getting squat from the estate or from Michael's will, and he needs money stat.
As one insider put it, "Katherine is a strong woman who can stand up to pretty much anyone but Joe. There's too much history there. Joe has always controlled her and always will."

what makes you think this?
Ive put it on another thread. There are too many threads to keep explaining it.
there it goes <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
TMZ reads this forum. That is a fact that isn't up for debate. They've made it quite clear.
So, to me it seems they could be using that term for a reason. We've suspected Joe of being apart of the mind-control that probably went on in Michael's life. So perhaps TMZ is confirming that for us. Either that, or they are saying that Katherine is a victim of it herself. It would make sense, wouldn't it?
This "Howard Mann" also seems important. Does he really exist ? I've not been able to find him. On wiki there's an actor named Howard Mann but that's all. <!-- m -->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Mann<!-- m -->
We've used the word "puppet" several times talking about Obama and Lady Gaga. When I type Puppet + mind control in my browser everything points to Lady Gaga and Obama. Seems we are not the only ones to think the same thing.
Now in this article I don't know why the word has been used but it doesn't seem that it's poiting to Katherine for real. Joe and Katherine are just characters here to me. Just my opinion of course.
Why would people closely connected to the Jackson family tell TMZ they believe that Joe is manipulating Katherine. Strange behaviour.
If we think in hoax mode there could be another meaning and addressed to us. Who are the friends ? Maybe us the hoaxers. Katherine may represent Michael and Joe is accused by us the friends that he has something to do with mind controlling Michael in the past.
The belt may represent something too, a "device" to beat maybe <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> ? But they're cheesy. I don't know what it can mean. A cheesy belt <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> . I first thought that they were made in cheese so they don't "hurt" but cheesy has another meaning. Fake belts ?
Well maybe it's a message to tell us that Michael forgives (even if he doesn't forget) ?
I thought the same. Also we use Puppet Master word for Michael too. He's pulling off the hoax, he's the Puppet Master. Could this mean Michael asked his mother to publish the book? He's the one who controls everything.
Joe´s puppet... Michael Joe Jackson, yes, she is Joe´s puppet... thank you TMZ! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
according to this the man died in 2008 let's try this <!-- m -->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mann_Act<!-- m --> <!-- s:?: -->:?:<!-- s:?: -->
I totally agree with you! After seeing the two of them interviewed together several months ago I believe that Katherine is the one that calls the shots. She shut Joe up several times and he definately backed down!
you said it sister <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
Oh yes you're right I remember that now. Thank you suspicious mind.
"Mann Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910 (ch. 395, 36 Stat. 825; codified as amended at 18 U.S.C. § 2421–2424), better known as the Mann Act after Congressman James Robert Mann, is a United States law which prohibits white slavery and the interstate transport of females for “immoral purposes”. Its primary stated intent was to address prostitution, immorality, and human trafficking. While its ambiguous language allowed selective prosecutions for many years, it was later amended by Congress to apply only to actual criminal offenses.
Prosecutions
The most common use of the Mann Act was to prosecute men for having sex with underage women.[2] It was also used to harass others who had drawn the authorities' wrath for "immoral" behavior.
The first person prosecuted under the act was African-American heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson in a case with strong racist overtones[3]. He had had an interracial affair with a white prostitute named Lucille Cameron, but she refused to cooperate with the prosecution; Johnson later married her. Less than a month later he was re-arrested for having crossing a state line, before the Mann Act was passed, with Belle Schreiber, a prostitute who had left a brothel. She testified against him, and Johnson was convicted and sentenced to the maximum penalty of a year and a day in prison.
Pioneering sociologist William I. Thomas's academic career at the University of Chicago was irreversibly damaged after he was arrested under the act when caught in the company of one Mrs. Granger, the wife of an army officer with the American forces in France. Thomas was acquitted at trial.
British film actor Charlie Chaplin was prosecuted in 1944 by Federal authorities for Mann Act charges related to his involvement with actress Joan Barry. Chaplin was acquitted of the charges, but the trial permanently damaged his public image in the US. The uproar contributed to his departure for Switzerland in the early 1950s.
Canadian author Elizabeth Smart described being arrested under the Mann Act in 1940 when crossing a state border with her lover, the British poet George Barker, in her book By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept. She memorably intertwined the callous police interrogation under this law with quotations about love from the Song of Songs.
The 1948 Mann Act prosecution of Frank LaSalle for abducting Florence Sally Horner is believed to have been an inspiration for Vladimir Nabokov in writing his novel Lolita. The book's protagonist Humbert Humbert, seeking to escape watchful eyes and bind the girl, Dolores Haze, more closely to him, also conducted a multi-state road trip during the course of the story.[4]
In the late 1950s, Kid Cann, an organized crime figure from Minneapolis, Minnesota, was prosecuted and convicted under the Mann Act after transporting a prostitute from Chicago to Minnesota. His conviction was later overturned on appeal. Even later, Kid Cann was prosecuted and convicted of offering a $25,000 bribe to a juror at his trial under the Mann Act.
As there is no federal U.S. law against polygamy as such,[5] except in territories,[6] the Mann Act has been used by federal officials wishing to penalize polygamy to prosecute various polygamist individuals known as Mormon fundamentalists.[5][7] (All U.S. states have anti-polygamy laws; in recent years state authorities have sometimes targeted organized polygamists.) The twin communities of Colorado City, Arizona and Hildale, Utah, Bountiful, British Columbia, and sites in Mexico[8] are historic locations of several Mormon Fundamentalist sects.[9] Mormon Fundamentalist Leaders and individuals[5] have been charged under Mann when "wives" are transported across the Utah-Arizona state line or the U.S.-Canadian and U.S.-Mexican borders.[5][10]
