In real life, I'd consider the estate's "behaviour" as an "expression of individual state of mind" and as such probably consider a label of "highly unprofessional lawyer".<br /><br />In ARG world it is a reply of the kind "equal amongst equal" or "they respond on the same level they are adressed" which means interaction of partners.<br /><br />^^<br />This "unprofessional real life behaviour" of so many performers in this play proves the ARG component more than anything else.<br />Who did not wake up by evidence (or lack of) should at last consider opening his/her eyes now.<br />If I, John Doe, am obviously made a (same level) conversational partner of a highly paid lawyer and don't notice this, then I am obviously blind as a mole.
As for the Will filed in the Probate Court, let's be clear: IT IS LEGALLY VALID, and the court properly appointed John Branca and John McClain as co-Executors. Those who wished to contest Michael’s wishes had every opportunity to challenge his Will. It should be noted that the 2002 will is consistent with Michael’s wishes as expressed in three prior wills.<br /><br />Just because it is consistent with two previous will, doesn't mean its real..Anyone could present a fake will to court and say its the deceased last wishes.... This is not what the family are contesting...Its not about the content of the will, its' about it chosen executors and also has been the issue....They have not addressed that fact at all.......
Hm...to put this VF article in perspective....<br /><br />Please read what Maureen Orth had to say in Vanity Fair back in June 2009, one day after Michael´s "death". <br /><br />http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2009/06/michael-jackson-is-gone-but-the-sad-facts-remain<br /><br />No surprise that VF endorse filthy journalism again now.<br /><br />They allowed and supported bs back then, they are obvioulsy doing it again. <br /><br />Disgusting.
@Mjonmind, those are my feels exactly. No one can convince me to trust the Executors, i.e. John Branca. To each his own, but for me, Branca is on my reptilian list until further evidence proves him otherwise. :computer-losy-smiley:

All this hoo-ha has done IMO, is draw attention again, for those who still haven't noticed, to the nonsensical length of time between MJ's 'death' and 'burial'.

Ms Jackson never delayed the funeral in any way.<br /> <br />"In fact, she paid for the funeral and was reimbursed for some of those expenses by Michael Jackson's estate in the year after the services took place. In addition, there were other private costs associated with Michael Jackson's passing that Ms Jackson incurred and for which she never sought reimbursement."<br /> <br />Earlier this year, Janet Jackson questioned the legitimacy of Michael Jackson's will and decried a "media campaign" against her family.<br /> <br />
I have to agree with you and Aussie curls!!! I mean people are still just blinded by ignorance in this country<br />and it goes to show you they will believe ANYTHING the media puts out. I mean I MY DAMNSELF could call up <br />one of these places and say ohhh this and that this and that and they wouldnt even try to verify the shit!!!<br />As dumb as that is that they do that its even dumber fo the people who believe the GARBAGE!!!!
This is still being dragged out in the tabloids....latest is the delay was because they couldn't decide on a burial place. [guess they never did settle that one as MJ isn't buried anywhere]<br /><br />http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/10/janet-jackson-did-not-delay-michael-funeral<br /><br />Janet Jackson Did Not Delay Michael's Funeral, The Family Couldn't Agree On Burial Place<br /><br /><br />y Jen Heger - Radar Assistant Managing Editor<br /><br />Janet Jackson was accused of delaying her brother Michael's funeral three years ago because she wanted a hefty deposit of $40k returned, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the actual reason the King of Pop's burial took place several months after he died was because the family couldn't agree on where he should be laid to rest.<br /><br />[size=18pt]"Janet absolutely didn't delay Michael's funeral, that just never happened," a family insider tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.[/size] "The main reason for the delay was because the family just couldn't agree on where Michael should be buried. Jermaine and Randy wanted him buried at Neverland but Katherine was absolutely steadfast against that.<br /><br />PHOTOS: Michael Jackson Through The Years<br /><br />"Throw in the fact that Michael's kids had their own ideas and were grieving and there was obviously a lot going on. Janet was just trying to do the right thing at the time and she was very supportive of Michael's kids and her mother during that very dark time. For anyone else to say otherwise is just categorically false. Yes, tensions have developed since then between Janet and her mom over the handling of Michael's estate, but that doesn't change what happened in the weeks after Michael died."<br /><br />As previously reported, according to Vanity Fair, which obtained an excerpt of a new biography on Jackson by Randall Sullivan: "Janet put up the $40,000 deposit at Forest Lawn to secure a spot for Michael but refused to let the funeral take place until the money was repaid."<br /><br />PHOTOS: Michael Jackson’s Kids: Three Years After His Death<br /><br />Janet's attorney, Blair Brown fired off a letter to Vanity Fair's editor, Graydon Carter, demanding a retraction of the story. In the letter, which is posted on the singer's website, her lawyer says: "The article states that according to Untouchable, Ms. Jackson put down a $40,000 deposit to secure a burial plot for Michael Jackson but refused to let the funeral take place until that money was repaid. This is untrue. Ms. Jackson never delayed the funeral in any way. In fact, she paid for the funeral and was reimbursed for some of those expenses by Michael Jackson's estate in the year after the services took place.<br /><br />PHOTOS: Stage Shots of Michael Jackson Performing<br /><br />"In addition, there were other private costs associated with Michael Jackson's passing that Ms. Jackson incurred and for which she has never sought reimbursement. To falsely accuse Ms. Jackson of holding up her brother's funeral over money is outrageous. This story is particularly hurtful and distressing because of Ms. Jackson's strong desire to serve her brother, whom she loved dearly, and her wish to stand with and support her family...I demand that Vanity Fair retract its statement that Ms. Jackson 'refused' to let Michael Jackson's funeral take place until the money she put down as a deposit on his burial plot was repaid...The article is replete with additional false and defamatory statements regarding Ms. Jackson. All statements regarding Ms. Jackson should be retracted and all other media website notified of the retractions."<br /><br />PHOTOS: Katherine Jackson Holds Memorial For King Of Pop In His Hometown<br /><br />"It's just absolutely sad that there are those in the world who are still trying to exploit Michael Jackson by writing false books about his life and death," the source says. "The Jackson family has been through enough and Michael's kids should be remembered before these ridiculous and false stories are released. No, this family isn't perfect, and they have a lot of issues, make no mistake about that… It just doesn't help to rehash and rewrite history for sensational headlines and to make money."<br /><br />RELATED STORIES:
It irritates me to no end that people seriously believe that executors of an estate the size and importance of Michael's would have time to debunk internet and social website rumors and rants. It's amazing. Surely if they had his Estate to run, there would be much more serious business to attend. What? Are they sitting at their computers with clickers in hand just waiting for something unsavory about THEM (not Michael mind you) to erupt to pounce on? :computer-losy-smiley: That's ludicrous. This has to be a hoax and how John Branca fits into it still puzzles me. I just don't like him.

<br /><br />agree :icon_e_wink:<br />
<br /><br />+ 1<br /><br />However in one way or another ,keep talking about Michael :icon_e_wink: :icon_mrgreen:<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />
I find that there are a few outlets that post Michael sided articles. One of them is the Huff Post. That they are reposting this story confirms for me that they are a media outlet for Michael and the story is one that Michael concocted for some, at least to me, inexplicable reason.

<br /><br />Interesting. It was also the HuffPo that got the TIAI ball rolling when they published an article the day This Is It was released in theaters, saying there would be a sequel called This Is Also It. The TIAI re-directs started shortly thereafter.

<br /><br />Really, lol. Just another one of the many 'coincidences' of this hoax. All it took was this little whisper from the HuffPo for people to type in www.thisisalsoit.com and that adventure began. Thanks wishingstar for finding the article!

<br /><br />Ah, those were the good ol' days, crazy awesome times! :icon_razz: Thanks for reminding us! <br />This confirms that TS is connected to Sony as well as to Michael, not just some random imposter (Tim Simkins). That sequel never materialized, and no word was ever said by Sony, AEG, Branca or the family about TS's posts. That silence is deafening.
