^^^^^just damage control.<br />Haven't you seen the giant backlash? It IS Katherine who was asking fans to participate, no one else. It's all ridiculous. And Joe who wants to 'train' Blanket to be the next MJ. So distasteful.
<br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2524498/Prince-Michael-Paris-Blanket-share-emotional-insights-life-Michael-Jackson-new-documentary.html<br /><br />Michael Jackson’s three children have opened up about the devastating repercussions following his sudden death and their struggle to cope without their father in an intimate new film. <br />Forthcoming documentary Remembering Michael Jackson will be a candid account of the family’s personal struggle to deal with the void left by the pop legend’s passing at a rented Los Angeles home in June 2009. <br />The film will see all three children – Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II, commonly referred to as Blanket – open up about life without Michael and share a series of never before heard stories about the reclusive star. <br /><br />Paris was filmed giving her account just weeks before she attempted to take her own life at the Jackson family estate. <br />Speaking wistfully of her father, she admits he died before he could fulfill a promise he made to her.<br /><br />She said: ‘He promised he would teach me how to moonwalk but never got around to it. I really hope his legacy lives on forever. I will never forget him ever. He was amazing.’ <br />Paris also opened up about their detached lifestyle on Neverland Ranchl, admitting: ‘We didn’t know a lot of kids our own age. We never left the ranch that often.’<br /><br />But while they rarely left the ranch, which was sold in 2005, younger brother Blanket has fond memories of his time on the sprawling California estate. <br />‘He had like a zoo, basically. He had giraffes, lions. He had alligators and snakes,’ he recalled. ‘You probably heard of it, but he had a chimp named Bubbles.’ <br />In one of the film’s more stunning revelations, Prince Michael, 16, admits his father didn’t tell him his real name until he was six. <br />He said: ‘He never really wanted to tell us who he is as a person. It took me until I was six-years old to learn his name was Michael Jackson – he was always daddy to me and that was it.’<br /><br />All three children are keen to work in the entertainment industry, with Paris – currently residing in a Utah treatment facility following her suicide attempt – hoping to become an actress. <br />But while grandfather Joe admits it’s ‘a lot more work than she thinks it is,’ he believes Blanket has the potential to follow in their father’s footsteps. <br />‘They said there would never be another Michael Jackson and I say that we already have one,’ he said. ‘But I said he just has to be trained. That kid is the spitting image of Michael when he was smaller.’ <br /><br />Katherine Jackson funded the new film via crowd sourcing website fundanything.com, a Kickstarter style site that gives users the opportunity to donate money to projects of their choice. <br />Jackson died on June 25 2009 following an overdose of powerful sedative Propofol, administered by cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray. <br />Murray was released from prison earlier this year after seeing out a 2-year jail term for involuntary manslaughter, but concert promoter AIG – responsible for organising the shows – were found not liable for his death in October. <br />Without naming names, Paris added: ‘There are a lot of bad people out there.’ <br />A trailer for the new film will be available to watch from 2pm exclusively at thesun.co.uk.<br />
<br /><br />I am very curious if people will ever realize that they are duped :icon_geek: .As it goes, I would say :icon_rolleyes:......... NEVER :thjajaja121: :thjajaja121: :LolLolLolLol: !!!<br />[size=18pt] Just beLIEve !!!![/size]<br /><br /><br />
Who's behind this? Well, if we believe in a hoax, don't we have to conclude that it's MJ himself behind this? Make of that what you will.<br /><br />@Applehead, 'Just believe' what exactly?

<br /><br />Sweet, you obviously missing the point or haven't read all available info. Were do you get your information from if i may ask? Sorry, I don't want to sound harsh, but i believe you are very much in denial...<br /><br />This is what katherine is saying in her vid: <br />'
[size=14pt]Next year is the fifth anniversary of Michael's passing. We miss Michael very much and this film shows how much we love him. If Michael was here, his words would be, "I love you more."<br /><br />I'm inviting all of Michael's fans to join me, Prince, Paris and Blanket to finish this wonderful project. Please join us. I'd love to have you[/size].'
<br /><br />http://fundanything.com/en/campaigns/rememberingmichael<br /><br />[size=18pt]Contributions of $3,200,000 goal[/size]<br /><br />Here is a good post from Ivy of MJJC which sums it all up. I really suggest to go read on this subject over there, because they have good info.<br />
[size=14pt]Suddenly news breaks and there's a video, a funding page that asks for $3.2 Million for Katherine Jackson documentary. Even if people love and support Katherine 100%, this is something that doesn't necessarily sit well with the fans for many reasons. Such as even simply asking fans for financial support and the money being asked to pay for MJ Estate. Fans also suspected that Howard Mann could be involved in it simply based on the fact that he had a contract with Katherine for a documentary. Mann's past (porn, infringing MJ's copyrights, connection to Vaccaro and so on) casts a shadow on this documentary.<br /><br />Combined all together no one - not even 100% supporters of Katherine - can support this documentary so suddenly the mood turns defensive. Try to deflect it to Howard Mann and Howard Mann only. It is claimed that Katherine doesn't know, isn't aware of money being asked and it's all Howard Mann and so on. It's all to deflect all the anger and unhappiness on Howard Mann and to spare Katherine in the process. <br /><br />Now from Sonia Lowe's tweets/ Linkedin we know she and Howard Mann is involved in this documentary but there's nothing to suggest that Katherine is a unwilling participant. Let's go over what we know : She signed a contract with Howard Mann, she supported him when Estate sued him, Mann was still around late 2012 having access to AEG emails. So as far as we know she is still partners with Mann and made no effort to get out of the contract. <br /><br />Joe Jackson's publicist emailed me saying this is exclusively Katherine and MJ's kids project. Apparently she also contacted to a Hoax Website (don't ask me why) saying the same thing. William Wagener saying that a person closed to Katherine contacted to him saying this is her project and the video - the one she's wearing a blue dress and asking fans for help- was just recorded last week (2 days before the release of the project). I emailed Katherine's lawyers Sanders and Ribera asking to verify this project so no one gets scammed. I know other fans emailing and calling them as well. They don't respond or return calls. So when combined people close to Joe confirm this is Katherine's project and Katherine's lawyers aren't saying "no this is a scam". Silence can also speak volumes. So however you look to it, this is an official project supported and endorsed by Katherine. <br /><br />So from my perspective, this is a Katherine Jackson project and she's a willing participant. Yes Mann / Lowe is involved as well but I don't personally think this is Mann and Lowe alone. To believe that there needs to be an official announcement by Katherine. No disrespect to fans but their assumptions do not count as facts to me, I need verifiable receipts.[/size]
<br />Who's behind this? Well, if we believe in a hoax, don't we have to conclude that it's MJ himself behind this? Make of that what you will.<br /><br />@Applehead, 'Just believe' what exactly?<br />
Welcome, fans. I would like to share an opportunity for you to join our circle of family and friends to celebrate the life and legacy of my son Michael Jackson.<br />It involves a tribute documentary film project that Michael’s children Paris, Prince, Blanket and I have been working on for a few years. Our goal with this film is to share a positive, loving and respectful tribute to Michael, who spent his entire life sharing his gifts with the great hope of making the world a better place.<br />The nearly finished documentary film project is a partnership between myself and co-Executive Producer, Terry Kunimune. It is filled with heart-warming anecdotes, rare photos from my personal collection, and many untold stories by his friends and family about Michael during some of the most pivotal moments in his life. <br />Telling Michael’s story from his family’s point of view needs to feature many video clips and musical moments that are an integral part of telling his life story. However, because it is Michael, the cost to license everything is prohibitively expensive, and why I am asking you, his fans, to join our circle and help support the completion of the documentary film.<br />In order to show our appreciation for your support, Michael’s children and I have created a limited collection of rewards not available in stores, but made available exclusively to his contributing fans.<br />Please join our circle of friends and family as I remember my son, as the children remember their father, and as we all remember our Michael. I thank you for your continued support.<br /><br />Katherine Jackson<br /><br />- See more at: http://fundanything.com/en/campaigns/rememberingmichael#sthash.xr5sYIqG.dpuf

<br /><br />Sorry, but that's just an old, worn out hoaxer's word that means nothing unless you explain what exactly you're urging us to believe in. Believe MJ's alive, believe he's well and happy, believe he's in total control, believe he's coming back, believe he's behind everything, believe everything's gonna be alright, believe in Father Christmas?!
sweetsunset is right. If this is a family project, then we should automatically think about MJ as the planner. Time will tell. I'm looking forward to see the documentary. More clues and hidden messages must be coming soon. ;D
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />[size=14pt]and.......[/size]<br /><br />UPDATE FRIDAY 11PM: The fundanything.com page for “Remembering Michael” is kaput, gone, vanished from the company’s website completely. So much for this latest attempt to exploit Michael Jackson’s memory.<br /><br />EARLIER FRIDAY The end may be near for Katherine Jackson’s FundAnything appeal. I told you first and exclusively that Mrs. Jackson (with silent partners Sonia Lowe and Howard Mann) had put up a crowdfunding drive to raise money for a documentary called “Remembering Michael.”<br /><br />The appeal offered donors several different options from $10 up to $6,000. For different amounts, donors could receive in exchange a Michael Jackson baseball hat, or more elaborate memorabilia like photographs or online access to the doc.<br /><br />Alas, it is all gone now. All the items have been removed. All that’s left is a chance to donate to the film. So far Mrs. Jackson has raised a paltry $4,275– and a lot of ire. Jackson fans, who are very astute at this point, regard the whole thing as a scam. They say so in the comments section of the FundAnything page.<br /><br />What a crazy plan this was: Mrs. Jackson doesn’t own the rights to Michael’s image or his music. She tried an end run around the Estate–John Branca, John McClain, and Howard Weitzman. Why didn’t she have her attorney set up a meeting and ask the Estate to help her do this? These things always end in tears and recriminations. I don’t think it will be long before the appeal is removed altogether.<br /><br /><br />http://www.showbiz411.com/2013/12/20/katherine-jacksons-fundanything-appeal-for-documentary-removes-all-donor-benefits<br /><br /><br />

<br /><br />This time and many others :icon_lol: .<br />
<br /><br />[size=12pt]She didn't ASK DIRECTLY (speaking the words from her mouth) for money, you have to 'read between the lines' (very hoaxy :errrr:)[/size]<br />

<br /><br />You're right. It turned out there was nothing 'hoaxy' about it, other than (I feel at this point) keeping themselves in the picture and to make money on Michael's behalf.<br /><br />Edit: I'm really really in a bad mood. Wish I could be more positive. To me, WE are the ones that got bamboozled. I really don't believe in a positive outcome anymore. Glad that I was never 100% convinced of a hoax. I did hope it was one though. <br />What really hurts and angers me, should there be no hoax and Michael really did die that awful day, is the behaviour of some of his familymembers. They confirmed the stories of greed about them in so many ways.
For me, the whole project had "Howard Mann" written all over. From the start. <br /><br />And I won´t lie: I will be happy if it never happens. <br /><br />Nothing hoaxy for me there.

<br /><br />Don't care what it means. I believed, based on all what I saw and read and all the 'clues' after Michael's passing, that there might be a hoax. I hoped it was a hoax. A hoax to make us see how we can be fooled by the media, how doctors are giving too much medication, how dark powers are ruling our world etc. A hoax to clear Michael's name and to vindicate him for once and for all. We've passed that station long time ago. I still believe, I believe I was in denial...
I just realized something. What if it really started out as Michael's (longplanned?) hoax, but something unexpected went wrong with him along the way and someone else (like the family) took over, but are doing a fairly poor job? Could that explain the latest 'disasters'?
<br />And I wonder where all the other 'beLIEvers' are? Not so many of us on MJDHI anymore....<br />
<br /><br /><br />I always thought this was also part of the Michael's plan ... :moonwalk_: arrive at BAM along with those who have not lost hope and faith :moonwalk_: :icon_e_wink:<br /><br />

<br /><br />Yes, we talked about that long time ago. But I can't imagine that the damage that now is done to his legacy, i.c. the mud about him in the trials, the suicide attempt of Paris, the new allegations of WR, the backlash on Katherine, the crazy talk from Murray (I can go on and on) is also part of the plan. It will be working fairly against him after a comeback in my opinion. You have to remember that not his whole fan base (and the rest of the world) has followed these 4,5 years through hoax glasses.
