I guess you all know of the death hoax from 24 or 25th december 2008! Unfortunately I don't have the link to show you know but there is an article on that and youtube video too.
Now I found another article and is too weird. It's from december 22, 2008!
Yes, I knew the story, but not the date!

"The Biographer for Michael Jackson Claims He is Sick and Could Die from Genetic Disease"

And a couple of days later BAM the death hoax!!! Is this weird? To me looks like they planted it out there. What if they wanted to pull the hoax then only something went wrong?!

    "It wouldn't be the first time that something has been placed in the press that was false about Michael Jackson, and was intended to bring either harm or fame to the maligned pop-star."

    I think this quote from the article was so true and right!

    I remember quite well and I have a link here , I'll try to find and post it . They said on Dec 24th 2008 that MJ has died from a drug overdose. And now it sounds as though they were foreseeing...!? <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> Can it be a simple coincidence?? There are too many coincidences in this whole case... maybe they tried to start the hoax on December, leaked the fake information to a small radio station (not a main stream vehicle, just like tmz) but somehow it didn't work. Maybe this is the biggest clue of all.

    PS: as I'm writing this post, my neighbour started listening to Heal the world out loud! It must be a sign!! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
  • thank you LOU.
    this is what I've been talking about. You got my point!
    <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P --> <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P --> <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->
  • It's not that I believe the story, don't get me wrong....'cause it wouldn't make sense anyway you know, he suffers from a deathly desease and dies of overdose? Nonsense!
    It's the death rumour that makes it weird. It's almost like they were trying to pull the hoax then but something went wrong. Then the story of 6 month left to live comes! Not simply 6 months but EXACTLY 6 months! How a big coincidence! I have to contact this guy maybe he can predict it for me too! <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
  • This all seems to be more than a coincidence. I'm beginning to think that it was to happen last year but something went wrong. So yeah, I agree with you all that feel that way too. I also agree that it's too much of a coincidence to be one that it happened exactly 6 months to the date. Something sure does stink with this...
  • Ok this is my theory.
    'They' (the insiders) leaked info to this radio station or whatever it was, saying MJ had died of a drug overdose. They wanted to see if word would get round quick, and what peoples reactions would be.
    So then in January this year, they leak MORE saying MJ will die in 6 months.
    I suppose its almost like they were trying to break it bit by bit to us, yano?

    But Ian Halperin was also the one who said, that the casket on the funeral in sept. was empty....and then, a few days later, joe Jackson confirmed that
  • I have seen this mentioned video as well
    people on the street were asked if they would believe that
    and

    this is what i can remember quite clearly-

    this is what we are doing now

    I definitely think this was a long time coming,
    It was definitely planned -think about it, the song MORPHINE
    these were clues from way back when, Michael has been perfecting this plan for ages IMO.

    OK guys, I have to weigh both sides of the coin again! <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->

    I know people's feelings about Ian, but I DO know he dogged everyone close to
    MJ for any quip or clue regarding him.
    So...there IS a chance he HEARD something...and opened his big mouth. That could
    go either way.
    Either he MESSED up the original hoax and everyone had to do damage control
    or
    He had heard/seen that MJ was SICK and had a certain time to live and opened his big mouth
    on THAT.
  • Here's a link to a video from December 2008.

  • Woah... hang on! Joe Jackson said MJs casket was empty??? And Ian Halperin said that too? <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o -->

    Anyone give the link to that please?

    I'd like to see a link to that too. I read lots of rumors about "sources" saying the casket was empty. But I never saw anything about Joe or anyone else in the family actually saying that. Whether it's true or false, I don't think they'd come out and say that.

    or could it be that they were just testing people's reaction in order to prepare for the main hoax?

    maybe the people who they interviewd on the street were"actors" and that way they were telling us what to do in the event of mj's "death"

    Ian was the first to say that MJs casket was empty in a interview with ET. Then Joe confirmed that it was definitely empty on Larry King.

    Why would they bring in an empty casket to a memorial? If MJ's dead, I would think the family would want him in there! I've never herd of a casket being empty during a memorial/funeral!! The logical answer is that MJ's alive and couldn't be in the casket, so they had no choice but to leave the casket empty. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

    I could see Ian messing up the original hoax! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> How could Ian hear or see that MJ was sick and had so long to live? From the pictures we've seen of Michael this year, he looked fine. If he was sick with cancer(like we've been told), I would think you would be able to tell he was sick. I've known people who were sick with cancer and you can defiantly tell that they're sick. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

    I think you got it really well here- that is what i believe ,too
  • hmmm...and the cause of ''death'' was drug overdose too, what a coincidence indeed...i thought about this too, maybe something went wrong then and it was postponed
    and about the casket being empty, i would like to see the link too <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o -->
  • this not the link i had in mind, but one of them
    i will try to find a better one

    Michael Jackson. Supposedly committed suicide in April 2004 by “consuming more than two-dozen sleeping pills,” according to an internet report
