I said in a previous post that I am starting to see themes running through this adventure. The first one I mentioned was The Burn Victim (<!-- l -->viewtopic.php?f=107&t=16137<!-- l -->). This second one is the BAD theme, based from the album, song and era. Below are all the connections I made with this adventure and the BAD theme, some based on factual clues and some based on speculation.
Factual Clues
- Most of the photos used in the memorial were from the BAD era. At the very end, there’s even a picture of Michael behind the camera from the video, Liberian Girl, which was a single released from the BAD album.
- The photos used on the cover of the funeral program and the stands by the casket were from, again, Liberian Girl’s single photoshoot.

-On October 11, 2010, TMZ released photos from the Oprah interview with Jackson’s mother, father and children. In the photos, there are shots of the home. Did you notice that the pictures displayed in the home are all from the BAD era and earlier? Check it out for yourself…

- In the 2010 Grammys Tribute performance, the photos used were from the BAD era or earlier.

Speculation Clues
- Soon after June 25th, an ambulance photo was released from NPG. There are many oddities about this photo, which has been pointed out by many of you. One of the oddities was the fact that Michael looks younger as if this photo could be taken from the BAD era.
- On the cover of the as-yet-released album, Michael, Michael Jackson resembles himself during the BAD era. (I do know that you can argue that the photo resembles him during the Thriller era as well so this may be pushing it. <!-- s --><!-- s -->)
- The Michael Joseph Jackson Community (MJJC)’s message board member, BACK implied in his conclusion of the New Seven Day Theory that this adventure was in the works for 20 years:
Twenty years ago points to 1989, which is during the BAD era.

- Speaking of BACK, there is also a possibility of a connection between BACK’s signature and the BAD tour. Towards the end of the Human Nature performance, there is a green light that pops up that looks really similar to the "green galaxy" signature of BACK.

Now with all of this evidence, what would be the significance of BAD to this adventure? Well that is something that I am going to investigate and for you to find out. If you wish to add any other pieces of evidence to this connection, please feel free to post it. Thanks in advance. More postings will come in the near future about this. Until then, here are the lyrics to BAD...

Katherine & Joe Jackson Do 'Oprah'
10/11/2010 1:00 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Katherine and Joe Jackson sat down with Oprah Winfrey this weekend to tape a segment for O's show ... and TMZ has the first photos.
As we first reported, production trucks for Oprah's show were parked outside the Jackson compound in Encino for the better part of Saturday. In the photos, Oprah can be seen meeting with several family members and getting the tour of the house.
We're told the interview focused heavily on Michael Jackson (duh) -- talking about his life, his kids and the book Katherine put together about his life.
No word yet on when the episode will air.

Of a tHeOrY or Vision
________________________________________
As one who embodies "vision" past 20/20, occurrences of the future are often "experienced". But many times this "experience" comes in the form of internal jolts, indicative of something of great significance. Séance hoaxes are not applicable.There are tIMEs when details are sparse, but abundant enough to "see" the grandness, just as it was in this magnetism towards the tHeOrY of sEVEN.
Exit Angel Gabriel----enter Angel Michael
Luke 1:36
"And in the sixth month the angel (Gabri)el was sent from God unto a city......
.........espoused to a man whose name was Joseph..."
And in the sixth month the angel (Micha)el was “statused” by God in a city...(of Angels)
.........espoused to a man whose name was Joseph.
On 6-25-09, tIME took a literal backseat to the mOMENt. I could always "see" a Silhouette on a Grand-stage, once again taking over the World. Perhaps also parallel in holding to our proclamation that this was NOT a "comeback", but a take-over. This was it. And in a thunderous sense,
it was. It just didn't dawn on me that that Grand Stage would be in the Heavens; A visual Staple-d to the Center of our minds for all eternity.
Physically--no more, but with us in an eternal Angelic presence. We witnessed the beginning of this transfer on 7/7 of this historical year.
As History has shown, reflected through the books and logics of many faiths, Prophets do and have walked amongst us. They have sometimes been Angels in the temporary casts of both tIME and human flesh. And in their allotted tIME, their purposes have most often been message DeLIVErance.
In the separation of major tIME factions in our planetary HiStory, specifically Birth of Christ (BC) To nearly 2009 years post his physical exit (AD), there's only one other Worldly figure that has been bestowed the powers to reach EVERY corner of the globe. And that Heavenly Gift was the Incomparable Michael Jackson.
2+5, The days of Christ and Michael.
Although many other Great Worldly figures, ranging from Martin to Mother Teresa, have graced this Earth with soul driven purposes that have benefited humanity, there have ONLY been two who have been subjected to literal crucifixions; before, during and after their deaths. And even in the face of these crucifixions, they both maintained hearts filled with love, sensitivity and care for all man/woman-kind. They carried rare emotional connections to and concerns for every single poor and sick person on the planet; Especially the children. They were in-tune with the necessary nurturance that this magnificent creation we inhabit requires for survival. They both never stopped giving and wanting to give more! They even carried compassion and hope for those who were consumed with evil and sought to do them both harm. An EXTREME rarity!
Christ was the savior of lives once as a physical being
So too was Michael Jackson.
I’m sure there are “many” here on this very board who can attest to that. My word itself does not have to be taken as conclusive. The proof will be provided through acknowledgement.
Throughout the decades of the modern tIMEs we live, many Great figures have suffered untIMEly demises. Deep reflection of these occurrences will or should give you great pause. The easiest approach up until about 20 years ago was always by the bullet. What changed the trend? Well, along came awareness, suspicion, and non-acceptance of "stories" that carry potholes in logic. Thus, it demanded a necessity for more elaborate plans of execution that are now used as a means of thwarting the full truth. This process had to be in magnification ten fold in order to end the physical existence of the most famous person walking this Earth. Many OTHER attempts had failed, even though they left enormous wounds. You see, evil always goes for the jugular by attacking a person's greatest strength. Michael Jackson's greatest strength was pure love. The antagonist of such a principle is hate. So they used that pure love and coupled it with another of his strengths towards healing and caring for sick children to formulate perhaps the most wickedly contrived fiction in history. The goal was to create the most egregious of perceptions and marvel with pleasure and amusement at its historically noted difficulty to disprove. But I'm of the vision that this stain too shall be removed in due course. In fact, I have intuition that the subject of the first narrative has already, years ago, righted that wrong behind the scenes. For that individual or even those of his acquaintance, who are ambivalent about the “open” approach & legalities, these initials (T-M) are your "key". Trust ME!
Though the hands of tIME still move incrementally, tick-tock, tick-tock, it is quickly running thin on the 2 decade long, elaborate planning that culminated in this execution. I can now understand that "vision" of 6/25/06 relapse", with CLARITY. This is no conspiracy theory! However, believe as you may. But believing and knowing--- are two different things.
Arms, wrist and feet. Bludgeoned through the veins.
Arms, wrist and feet, Poisoned through the veins.
Two different Kings, with different Reigns.
And The End result shall be the same.
JUSTICE........For it is already written!
And shall be illUMINATED! (E. Chandler— I hope you left proper notice repenting---the inferno awaits and you shall become a believer in what you didn’t before. HELL is your EQUALIZER. You’ve earned it!
“With all the ingredients—is it Simmering---can you smell it—how long before the “pie” is done.” – As many have realized, IT would have been greatness to an infinite degree.
Mr. Jackson--- you know I still have your back--- until my end.

KEEP Watchin'.......

Comments
I know it offends many, but to me it is crystal clear, IMO that he is claiming equivalency to Jesus. As sort of another incarnation, as was Michael the Archangel in the Old Testament pre-Jesus era, something that Jehovah's Witnesses believe. No where has MJ ever said he believed in Jesus for his salvation, etc., but only that he wanted to live like Jesus in imitation. His motto has always been to study the masters/greats and become greater.
After BAM the world is either going to hate him or love him. And the haters have already slapped his face plenty. The world will have to choose. It ain't going to be pretty; could get rough and ugly. I choose to love Michael.
when was this tHeOrY or Vision posted on MJJC? I missed that date... <!-- s:oops: -->:oops:<!-- s:oops: -->

Yes, bad can mean in slang 'really good' like "That song is bad man..." My dad used to say it all the time in reference to certain jazz songs. You also make a good point that he could be playing a role as the "bad guy" (the liar, the manipulator) to produce good.
I do remember that rumor. I checked TMZ and couldn't find it so I am not sure where that come from but I'll see if I can find it later. Thanks for that tidbit. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->

After I pointed it out in an earlier post (<!-- l -->viewtopic.php?f=17&t=8196&hilit=+bad<!-- l -->), a member pointed a quote from Michael Jackson A Visual Documentary by Adrian Grant.

Key Notes
About Bad
Bad is the seventh studio album by American songwriter and recording artist Michael Jackson. The album was released on August 31, 1987 [1] by Epic/CBS Records, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller, which went on to become the world's best-selling album.
Bad was recorded throughout 1987.
Bad peaked at number one in seven countries, as well as charting within the top twenty in other territories.
Background & Production
Bad was the first studio album Jackson released after leaving The Jackson 5 and the first in an almost five-year period following Thriller.[6] Bad was the third, and final, musical collaboration between Jackson and Quincy Jones. The album was produced by Jones, with co-production credit given to Jackson.[7] Jackson began recording demos for the anticipated follow-up to Thriller a few months after the 1984 Victory Tour with The Jacksons. Recording took place between January 5, 1987, and July 9, 1987.
Release & Marketing
A year before Bad's release, Jackson used several tactics to get the media interested in his short film, Captain EO, during the recording of Bad. Jackson played a space captain in the mini-film, which was produced by George Lucas and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. By the time Jackson released Bad, he produced a commemorative special on his life, The Magic Returns, which aired on CBS.[6] At the end of the documentary, the channel debuted Jackson's "Bad" short film, which featured then up-and-coming actor Wesley Snipes.[6] Jackson's marketing strategy, mastered by Frank DiLeo among others, also included Jackson producing another mini-movie around the time of the Bad World Tour. That film, Moonwalker, included performances of songs from Bad, including "Speed Demon", "Leave Me Alone", "Man in the Mirror" and "Smooth Criminal", the latter two released as sole videos at the end of the film.[11][12] Jackson also used the opportunity to write about his life up until that point releasing 1988's Moonwalk. Jackson's tour for Bad was a major financial success, grossing $125 million by the end of its tenure.[13][14] Though Jackson furthered his stance as a global pop superstar, in the United States he failed to match the sales of Thriller, causing some in the media to label Bad a "disappointment" in comparison.
The album's second single, "Bad," peaked at number one on the Billboard 100 on October 16, 1987.
Bad Tour
The Bad World Tour was the first solo concert tour by American recording megasuperstar Michael Jackson, covering Asia, Oceania, North America and Europe from September 12, 1987 to January 27, 1989. The tour, sponsored by Pepsi and spanning 16 months, included 123 concerts to 4.4 million fans across 15 countries. When the tour concluded it grossed a total of $125 million, adding two new entries in the Guinness World Records for the largest grossing tour in history and the tour with the largest attended audience.
Random Notes on Bad Tour
On June 17, Jackson travelled to the town of Vevey to meet Oona O'Neill, the widow of Charlie Chaplin.
The third concert on July 16 was attended by Princess Diana and Prince Charles in London at Wembley Stadium.
The final European show was held in Liverpool on September 11, staged at Aintree Racecourse. 1,550 fans were reported injured among the crowd of 125,000.

Information on SEGA Game Moonwalker
Moonwalker was developed into an arcade video game by Sega with the help of Jackson, which was released on the Sega System 18 hardware. Home versions of the game were released for Sega's Genesis/Mega Drive and Master System home video game systems, though the gameplay was completely different on home computers such as the Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC, which was a more puzzle based video game, with the view looking down on Michael. The console versions of the game were actually based on an evolved version of the side-scrolling Sega Mega Drive Shinobi series engine, while the arcade version was a three-quarters view shooter/fighter type game. The games involved the player controlling the pop star in a quest to save children (the console version features only "Katie", while the arcade version includes all three children) that had been kidnapped by Mr. Big.
In the three player simultaneous arcade game, contact with Bubbles, Michael's chimp, transformed him into a robot warrior, replacing Michael's "star magic" and melee dance attacks with missiles and laser beams. In the one or two player (taking turns) console versions on certain levels, rescuing a certain child first would trigger a comet to fall from the sky that could be grabbed transforming Michael into the robot (which could fly with a rocket pack as well as use lasers and a missile special attack). Michael automatically changes into a robot for the final showdown with Mr. Big's henchmen and finally into a space ship for the last battle, in a sort of flight-sim shooter in the Genesis/Mega Drive version. All incarnations of the game featured the ability of Michael to use some form of "Dance Magic" which would force his enemies to dance to the music of various tunes from "Bad" or "Thriller" and be destroyed as a result.

Possible BACK connection (Look at first post in this thread for more information on this posting and BACK)
TM=Tommy Mottola?
In this really random, strange video, a small company, that may not exist, is selling a replica of Michael's casket. What is relevant to this theme is the years at the end of the video--1988-2009. 1988 again points to BAD era.

AD is a common abbreviation for "After Death" especially when referring to Christ.
What if BAD stands for...Back After Death....? Which would be interesting because "Back" has a double meaning. He is BACK and he is back, literally.
That would also make sense if it was when he started planning this hoax...
Just an idea.
I like the way you think. I wish I could provide some proof to back you but I don't right now. That is an interesting hypothesis though. Thanks for sharing! I personally believe this is when the adventure really started. It was planned during the Thriller era...maybe a little bit before then. I have a little bit of potential evidence but I have to take time to really fully investigate.
That's really interesting. Especially when you sing the actual song, and replace every "BAD" with "Back After Death"....I was too lazy to replace all of the "BAD"s

Who’s bad?
Plus, when when you sing the song with the replaced lyrics, not only does the song start making more sense (to us hoax believers, of course), but the hoax, if Michael did indeed conceive it during the BAD era, starts making more sense as well.
Is it me or does this picture of Michael look NOTHING like him...?? <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> Everytime I look at it, it doesn't give me that feeling. All the other small pictures of him around the main central one DO look like him. Its just the big main one that doesn't convince me.
