We wish to provide the Community Trunk, the new body of Michael Jackson, with information about new and delightful support projects. There has been too much “Junk” attached to his trunk and it is time we start anew by peeling away the old and rotted garbage from his amazing trunk, his community. We hope you will be a part of the solution and not the rubbish. There should be no room for old junk in a new trunk. Michael is a new creature in Christ Jesus. All the old has passed away and behold, all things have become new.

Featured Fan Art Trish Overbay, Artist -

Her Gift From Michael Jackson suddenly nothing made any sense to me. I thought he would always be there, that nothing could ever happen to him. He had been through so much, and survived. How could this happen??? The story about what happened to him changed so many times, and really… I don’t think we’ll ever know all the answers. That’s the hardest part for me, the not knowing how or why, and missing him so much sometimes… it just hurts. But God has given me peace about it now… I believe that is what Michael wants … because he is finally at peace.

Each time I paint, or draw, I ask God to guide my hand and help me to honor whoever I am creating a picture for. I believe God gave me the ability that day, and Michael inspires me and directs me with what to draw. I continue to create artwork, and have been blessed to have been able to share pieces with Michael’s family and children.

My name is Trish Overbay, and I have been an Artist all my life, but I was never able to draw portraits or people’s faces until 2009, when in my sadness at Michael’s passing, I felt a stirring of my heart.

A few months after Michael passed away, during the memorial service… I was in tears, still in shock, and had spent several nights crying myself to sleep about it, and here I was crying again as the endless hours lingered on during the service. I remember thinking, I just wanted to remember him, and keep him here somehow… I wasn’t ready to let him go… I thought about how hard it must have been for his family and for his children. And they (the press) never have given them peace and time to grieve.

I became disabled in 2007, due to back pain and fibromyalgia, and suddenly everything changed in my life, not only physically, but mentally as well. I had always been a hard worker since an early age, and not being able to work was a difficult adjustment to me, because when things got difficult, I always threw myself into my work, and that was how I dealt with the issues going on at the time. I had to re-learn my thought process, and change my habits, and everything was different. It was a struggle to say the least.

As I thought about all that, I felt the need to pick up a pencil and paper and draw Michael’s face. I don’t know why I wanted to do that, but the feeling was overwhelming. I had drawn pictures in the past, but never faces. I always thought it would be too difficult, and I just didn’t think I could do it. But for some reason that day, (I believe it was Michael) I wanted to try. Through my tears, I began drawing his face… taking my time and concentrating on each feature, trying my best to capture his likeness. I worked on that drawing for hours, and in the end, I could see Michael. I felt like I had captured a small part of him for myself, something I could keep, to remember him… always. This drawing led me to continue and after that, I began to draw and later paint, and found that this was one thing that I could do that could help me to deal with the pain that I was in then, and for a moment in time, I could forget my disability.

In 2009, when Michael Jackson passed away, I was in total shock. I wanted to believe it wasn’t true, some kind of terrible mistake, or another story the press made up for ratings. It seemed like the whole world stood still that day, as we all waited for answers. How could this have happened? He and I were the same age…

Each time I paint, or draw, I ask God to guide my hand and help me to honor whoever I am creating a picture for. I believe God 4

gave me the ability that day, and Michael inspires me and directs me with what to draw. I continue to create artwork, and have been blessed to have been able to share pieces with Michael’s family and children. That was something I never could have imagined I would be able to do. I continue to try to improve my work, never completely satisfied with it until I see a smile on someone’s face and hear the joy in their words. In the past year, I have even been able to share and sell my artwork as a means to have extra income to support myself. I have known Michael Jackson all of my life and he will always be a part of my life, and my heart. He has touched me with a gift of unconditional love, that can never be described in words. I am so grateful to be able to share this gift and continue Michael’s legacy of love. This has changed my “disability” into an “ability” that I am able to share with others through my artwork. No gift that is given to us is truly a gift until you give it away. I always try to encourage others to pick up a pencil and try, if you have never done it, and see where it leads. If I had not tried that day, I would not be doing what I’m doing now.

and share my work, my world slowly began to open up again, and God gave me the love of my life and a whole new beginning, and I began to believe in myself and all that I could accomplish because of that love. My life has come around full circle, all because of Michael Jackson’s example of unconditional love. His sweet spirit continues to inspire me as I draw and create, and God continues to show me everyday how much He loves me through the love of my life, and the miracle of new found joy and happiness that I never could have imagined for myself. I would encourage anyone to follow your dreams, no matter how big, or how small. Just take that first step, and try. You never know where it may lead… but you have to take that first step… don’t be afraid… just do it! I thank God for all His blessings, and I thank Michael Jackson for always being an example of unconditional love to all of us, and I thank my true love, Ken, for showing me that “I can be all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” Never underestimate the power of love. It has transformed my life, and given me the ability to be an example of its power to heal and strengthen each of us to become the person we were meant to be. God Bless you!

It was through my artwork that I have truly begun to understand the depth of God’s love, and how He reaches out to each of us with a plan. I had found myself secluded and alone, by my own choice because of my disability, giving up on myself, and the joy that God had intended for my life to be. After I began to draw

Book Title: Michael Jackson: Innocent 28 February 2005 Author: D Francis Publishing Date: May 2013 Available From: Amazon Kindle (USA, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Brazil, Spain, India, and Australia) D Francis has produced a book about Michael Jackson like no other. It is based on the premise that because the trial of the artist on numerous child abuse charges in 2005 was not televised, the only facts in the public domain have been filtered through the sieve of incomplete and prejudiced reporting in the media. So D Francis has gone to great lengths to acquire the actual trial transcripts, a volume running to over 14,000 pages to write a series of books straight from source. In Michael Jackson: Innocent she concentrates on the trial testimony and adds her commentary; in the process revealing exactly why Michael Jackson was acquitted on all charges. The Author believes that international media coverage at the time focused far too heavily and uncritically on the prosecution case, which is why so many believed the Michael Jackson was guilty, despite the verdict. So, centering mainly on the defense case and the various legal arguments, she shows precisely how we were all misinformed by a media whose main interest was always in boosting the titillation count rather than giving us a true picture of events.

Michael Jackson: Innocent 28 February 2005 Leonard Rowe, author of “What Really Happened to Michael Jackson ~ The King of Pop, The Evil Side of the Entertainment Industry. Book dedicated to Michael Jackson Fans. Truly, a book that every fan and nonfan should have. Many fans site this book as being 100$% believable because of Leonard Rowes knowledge of and experience with the Music Industry as a concert promoter. This book does answer many questions about the AEGLive contract and concerns about the will, in question. If you are looking for straight truth every Michael Jackson fans, and those who are not fans, should read this book.

Get book here: A must read for the Michael Jackson Advocate and Vindication fans. Lynton Guest exposes the “Underbelly of the Music Industry” in this 176 page hard cover book. People v. Jackson (full case name: 1133603: The People of the State of California v. Michael Joseph Jackson) was a 2005 trial involving recording artist Michael Jackson. A 13-year-old boy that Jackson had befriended named Gavin Arvizo accused him of sexual abuse. Jackson was indicted for four counts of molesting a minor, four counts of intoxicating a minor in order to molest him, one count of attempted child molestation, and one count of conspiring to hold the boy and his family captive at his 2,700-acre Neverland Ranch, as well as conspiring to commit extortion and child abduction. He denied all counts. On June 13, 2005, the jury found Jackson not guilty on all fourteen charges, which included all of the above plus four lesser-included misdemeanor counts.

Troy Denari (Youssef Dinar ) Vocalist, Writer, Composer & Recording artist from Amsterdam, Netherlands The artist within Troy Denari was born at the early age of five when playing his toy-keyboard given by his parents. Turning down an offer to go on tour with Dutch R’nB sensation “R’n’G” at the age of sixteen Troy Denari knew he was born to be known as an artist in a later stage of his life. At that time first priority for Troy was to graduate from high school. In 2008 Troy founded the duo ‘Madmusic’ together with beat creater Mr.Mike. Turning his bedroom into a studio they started out making R’n’B and pop-music. This resulted in one #1 and one #3 hit on the ‘Juize-drop youre demo’charts, an initiative for talented beginning artists on the Dutch radiostation Radio 538. They were invited to perform two of their tracks live on the show. Influenced by all sorts of musicstyles Troy shifted his sound towards Pop and Dance/ House. With this new sound he performed in several clubs in the Netherlands and Belgium. He also was support act for worldwide know artists like “Blackstreet” and “Jeremih” at the NOXX in Antwerp. After the ‘Madmusic’-period, Troy Denari worked with both national and international artists such as ‘Rupee’, ‘Kaysha’, ‘Sicerow’(Fill u up) and ‘Lunaman’(producer of the album of Felix da Housecat). Also the list of collaborations with DJ’s and producers is getting longer and longer, such as , ‘Pascal Morais’, ‘Master Lee’, Hardsoul, Leroy Styles, Kerri Chandler & Jeremy Sylvester . Quote on the question: why so many different styles?…… Why not! Troy’s friends describe him as honest, open minded, respectful and thousand% dedicated to the music. This combined with the never-ending search for perfection makes Troy an artist with a large and diverse repertoire of tracks you don’t want to miss. I am a huge fan of Troy Denari’s music. I would have to say my favorite of his “Respect to the Masters” Vocal and Urban Injection playlist.

What Really Happened On June 25, 2009? A great flood of energy filled with something magnificent and unexplainable, but made up of unpolluted light and love; that became evident in thousands or maybe millions of people, globally, at the same time. This unexplainable experience seemed to be associated with the death of Michael Jackson. How could that be? Who was this man?

A question, at that time, that was not easy to answer but became quite clear as I moved among the wilds of this peculiar place known as the internet and God sent the right people. Before June 25, 2009 my visits to the internet consisted mostly of using yahoo email and paying bills online. So what changed? The answer is simple but complicated, Michael Jackson. About a week before Michael conceded to pass from death to life I thought of him; and I wondered how life was treating him. I reminded myself to inquire of his whereabouts and what he was doing. I had not heard anything about him since the 2003 allegations of child molestation and the 2005 trial, which I totally disregarded as nonsense. I've always been a Jackson supporter but of course Michael and Janet were the only Jackson's who were talked about the most. Anyway, I had a very demanding schedule with the ministry and grandchildren; and that seemed to be enough for me. I never gave one thought to being unhappy or lonely; and never had time to think about things such as that until that horrible day came. I can honestly say that dreadful breaking news announcement of Michael Jackson passing away came across the television screen and I have NOT been of the same mindset since. Like everyone else I was in shock for days, weeks, months and a few years. It's still hard to believe but a bit more acceptable now. If I did not have some spiritual connection to God I would not be able to handle this well, but I thank God that I know Him, who I am and most of all whom I belong to. However, that "Lightning Bolt Syndrome" had penetrated my spiritman and I became another part of that mysterious bolt. That's the term given by one fan from a Michael Jackson Amazon Discussion Community. A place I found while in pursuit of everything Michael Jackson, as many others were doing the same. Anyhow, I happened upon this thread called "Why Am I Still Crying Over Michael Jackson" and found so many Michael Jackson fans actually crying, but being so pleasantly comforted at the same time. 8

I think I may have waited a week before I felt comfortable enough to introduce myself. What a group of loving people, mostly women. If there were any male mourners on-board they never made that obvious, but what was this “Lightning Bolt Syndrome” and what did it have to do with so many people crying over Michael Jackson’s death? Why did we feel this way about him? We knew he was the greatest entertainer in the world but there were many great entertainers, as far as I was concerned. What was so special about Michael Jackson? What made me think of him a week before he passed away? Of course I became distracted with my usual routine that I never had a chance to search for an update on his activities. I didn’t learn about the comeback tour until after his passing. I’m still mad at myself about that. Was that a warning and I ignored it? I don’t know but I think it was. God was preparing me for a greater work and I didn’t know that. My ministry was to be to those, who would receive Christ, from the Michael Jackson fan community. I was fooled by that kind of thinking. At that particular time the women were not looking for ministry or God. They didn’t want to hear about God. Most of them wanted to have sex with Michael Jackson while others wanted to worship him. I have to admit, for the single or widowed woman, he was the kind of man that many women dream of marrying. I’ve never been able to figure out why the married women were so infatuated with him. I understand why they came to the community, originally, but it’s been almost five years and many are still here. Were/Are they not in love with their husbands? Many of them pose as advocates but that’s highly suspect too. Many do more fighting over Michael than for him, LOL. Is it possible we may have misinterpreted the message? I don’t believe Michael would want his fans to compromise their marriages or family responsibilities because of him. Let’s define lightning bolt and syndrome. Lightning Bolt - abrupt electric discharge from cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth accompanied by the emission of light Syndrome – according to the medical dictionary defined as a set of symptoms occurring together.

My definition of the “Lightning Bolt Syndrome: A great flood of energy filled with something magnificent and unexplainable, but made up of unpolluted light and love; that became evident in thousands or maybe millions of people, globally, at the same time. This unexplainable experience seemed to be associated with the death of Michael Jackson. How could that be? Who was this man?

John 14:26 - But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 15:26 - But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 16:7, 8 - Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Theory: Before Jesus ascended back to the Father he told his disciples that the Holy Spirit would come as a comforter and they would learn more and even greater things. Make no mistake: I’m not saying that Michael Jackson is the Holy Spirit but he was and still is a type of consoler. I believe God’s Holy Spirit dwelled in Michael, immensely, and he allowed the Spirit to use him to bring people to God. At least I believe that was Michael’s intent. However, many perceived it to be something other than that.

John 16:13, 14 - However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

Michael Jackson had studied God’s word for many years. He was well acquainted with these “Promises” and I believe he tried to share them with others through his music.

Many are called but only a FEW are chosen. Some of the promises Jesus made to His disciples regarding the Holy Spirit:

Could it be that we or some of us missed the “Intended” messages?

John 14:16, 17 - And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

Michael Jackson was given a great gift of connectivity. He could bond with the masses and had a great reverence among them. I believe that connectivity and reverence became overpowering when he passed from death unto a true spiritual life with God.

er sent from the Father to teach through his music and to move those who would welcome him into a righteous place with God. However, he was not received well in the United States and some other foreign countries. Does this sound familiar?

I believe God used Michael Jackson as a tool to gather the masses for his glory and reverence, but many got it wrong and begin to worship the creature, Michael Jackson, instead of the creator, God.

Many were afraid of him because of that powerful gift of connectivity; therefore, the gift became a threat to the enemy of God. Even after being dead for over four years Michael Jackson continues to have that same connection or power over many people.

Many won’t receive this theory but I won’t apologize for it because I, strongly, believe this is what happened. I believe Michael Jackson was another comfort-

Luke 2:40.. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 9

Luke 2:52.. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. We saw this in Michael Jackson. He grew from a boy to a man; became strong in the spirit of the Lord; was filled with much wisdom and God’s grace was certainly upon him. He continued to grow in stature, a tall man with large hands, and had the favor of God and not just the average man but with celebrated men and women, globally. For certain he was special and remains the same today. Did you get the right message?

Mrs. Katherine Jackson, the gateway to the heart and soul of the Jackson family. Mothers are God’s security system in the family. Nothing gets by her, though many may consider her to be the weakest link in the chain; for sure she is the strongest. Perhaps the mothers do not possess the physical strength, as the father, but she is strong. Many attempt to assess the woman called by the name Katherine Scruse Jackson, but do you really know her? Do you know her story? You don’t know the things that she has come through. You cannot imagine the pain, the trials she has endured and continue to endure. You cannot imagine the strongholds and the walls that severed her. Have you been able to count the tears she has shed during those dark and lonely times when there were hundreds of people around her, yet she felt all alone?

MJ INSPIRED CHILDREN PROJECTS

National Children's Day Campaign (In memory of Michael Jackson) The creation of National Children's Day Promotional Campaign was created by members of the Michael J Jackson fan base. I got the idea from listening to Michael's "Oxford Speech" and then from several blog radio shows when listening to those that knew this is one of the projects he was working on before he died. They all spoke of how this was "the desire of Michael's heart" to see this day created and celebrated around the world not for himself but for the children. After making the decision to head this campaign, I reached out to the fan base to see if there were those interested in spearheading this campaign with me. Once the interested and members were formed, the campaign began. You can find the formal declaration for this holiday at the Facebook community page and also those whose are currently supporting us. https://www.facebook.com/nationalchildrensdaypromotionalcampaign?ref=hl Please join us in our effort to recognize the children and make Michael's dream a reality. It's all for L.O.V.E

Maestro (Kelly) LaFleur Created to promote National Children's Day and in memory of Michael Jackson. Our main focus is children.

Michael Jackson Chosen Voices

PUTTING MY HEART ON THE LINE I have a story to tell. It’s a story about ex- walk. I watched This Is It many times. I ploring the life of the most inspiring person I h a v e e v e r known. Michael Jackson’s life was nothing short of epic. I cannot wait for you to discover what I have learned about Michael’s musical and creative genius, his unparalleled performances, his love for people, for children, for the environment, his vision and imagination and his desire to use his gifts to help change the world. His life has been lifechanging for me. Maybe it will be for you, too. So, here we go. “I’ve always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories-make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I’ve always wanted to be able to do that.” Moonwalk 1988 With those words, Michael Jackson opened his autobiography. I have always believed that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. 2009 was a particularly difficult time for my family and me. On June 25, 2009, my heart was ready to receive what, in a word, I would call LOVE. Watching, with an estimated billion people around the globe, Michael Jackson, the man, the creative genius and inexhaustible voice for change, reappeared in my life. I had always adored Michael’s music and short films. I could listen and watch and never get enough of his magic. But, the journey that began for me on June 25th was deeper than that. In the next months, I read and reread Moon-

searched for all CD and DVD performances. I viewed wonderful Fan videos on YouTube. Then, I read Dancing the Dream. I WAS TRANSFORMED. Over the course of the next three and a half years, I have read, studied, listened to and viewed CDs, DVDs, books, speeches, interviews, rehearsals, public appearances and more. I transcribed thousands of words. Michael gave voice to everything I believe in. He lived out these values daily on a world stage. He inspired. He was a teacher. During an Ebony Magazine interview in 1987, Michael was asked what interested him most about life. He replied, ” What interests me most about life is learning, finding out new things, exploring different worlds.” Armed with an avalanche of research and a growing library, what was next for me? Have you ever had something happen that touches your heart so profoundly you want to climb to the rooftop of your house and scream out, “EVERYONE, LISTEN! THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!” Maybe not such a good idea. I began coming up with other avenues for sharing: adding a “Food for the Soul” postscript to all my emails, creating elaborate Michael Jackson artists’ dates with my husband. I found myself needing more. THERE IS A CHINESE PROVERB WHICH SAYS. “IF SOMEONE SHARES SOMETHING OF VALUE AND YOU BENEFIT FROM IT, YOU HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS.” Having read books written by MJFans, following postings on several justice project websites, reading comments beneath amazing YouTube videos, I hungered to be a part of 13

that global community of kindred spirits. THIS BLOG puts MY h e art o n t h e line. Postings will focus on Michael’s creative and humanitarian genius…his heart and his unconditional love for the world. It is written to HONOR the artist and the man. I invite comments and dialog. Comments that dishonor Michael will be deleted. THERE IS A LEGEND THAT SAYS…ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME SOMETHING BIG HAPPENS AND CHANGES YOUR WHOLE LIFE FOREVER. AFTER THIS TURNING POINT, YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

Is it possible to love someone you have never met. ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I am inspired daily by Michael. If you, too, have been introduced to the gift of that inspiration, I hope you will share your journey with me. Together, we will feel the LOVE. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LOVE! “I remembered what John Lennon said, ‘Elvis was my idol and Chuck Barry was my teacher.’ WHAT A WONDERFUL THING TO SAY.” Michael Jackson 1981 American Music Awards Chuck Berry Tribute

The proper name and title of the organization that promotes the highest honor one may receive for sound recording synonymous with an Oscar is ‘THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF RECORDING ARTS AND SCIENCES (NARAS) Every year from June to August, record labels, musicians, songwriters, recording artists, and members rush to submit their sound recordings to the Grammy Board to be considered for a nomination. Grammy board experts in various fields of Sound Recording and Visuals cast their votes in a series of “rounds” for nominations and of course the recording/visuals that receives the most votes in specific categories receives the Grammy Accolade. Fact: President Barack Obama is a two time Grammy winner for the Spoken Word Category for his audio books. There is a category for Best Comedy Album which is perfect for all you comedians to get in the studio and record a comedy album Congratulations to both the 2014 recipients for Spoken Word (America 14

SUPPORT GROUP: MEMORIAL TRIBUTES Sunflowers for Michael:

A Garden of L.O.V.E.

~J.Michelle Gold~

All of us remember Michael Jackson as an extraordinarily gifted entertainer whose creativity dared to soar beyond the norm, and whose compassion for people touched him so deeply that he felt compelled to do whatever he could to help ease the suffering of humanity around the world. A simple smile on the face of a child was more precious to him than all the Grammy’s ever awarded. What wasn’t so obvious to most people was the humble gardener that Michael was. Yes, you read correctly. I think of Michael as someone who planted subtle seeds of thought across the people of the world. These thought seeds were planted within his music, in the amazing collection of poetry and prose found in his book, “Dancing the Dream,” and in the symbolic visual messages in his incredible short films. I believe Michael had great hope that these seeds would take root in the hearts of many and when the seedlings matured the world would transform into a better place. As we approach the fifth anniversary of his untimely passing, I find myself flooded with thoughts about how, through the influence of one amazing man, so many people have formed groups to support him and continue his message of peace. A group that readily comes to my mind is called, “Sunflowers for Michael” and it truly is an international garden of L.O.V.E. In the days and months following June 25, 2009, I found myself searching the internet looking through hundreds of websites containing video clips of Michael Jackson’s performances, interviews, and music. In connection with many MJ fan blogs, I stumbled upon a website called MJJ-777 started by a fan known as Seven. Seven’s website was flooded with information which was truthful in regard to Michael, debunking some of the disrespectful and deceitful media being released about false allegations which seemed to haunt Michael throughout his career. In one of the articles Michael’s former wife Lisa Marie Presley mentioned that he loved sunflowers, and that he called them “happy flowers.” This article was seen by many fans, and a florist in California called, “The Sunflower Guy” decided to send an entire field of sunflowers to Michael’s resting place at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, CA. I will never forget how beautiful everything looked in the photographs shown with an entire field of Michael’s favorite flowers surrounding the entire space of Holly Terrace. It was then that a group called, “Sunflowers for Michael” was born, an idea promoted by Sandy Scott. Sandy soon found out that what began as a simple proposal magically transformed into a wonderful journey….one that fans from all over the world are still taking together. Loving fans continue to show their support by filling Holly Terrace with so many cards, letters, poems, small gifts, and fabulous artwork. It is a garden where L.O.V.E. continues to grow, and hearts begin to heal. Sunflowers for Michael is made up of a very caring group of people who believe in honoring Michael Jackson, not merely for the contributions he made to the world of entertainment, but for the contributions he made toward the betterment of humanity. We appreciate the exceptional effort Michael has achieved in this area, and we believe this is how he deserves to be remembered….as one who used the wealth of his career to enable himself to give to others, and to bring light to the suffering of humanity across the world. He spent a great deal of time educating others about the injustices that exist causing suffering in our world, and how we can all take a proactive approach toward the positive change needed for our planet, as well as the human condition. As Michael stood up for the voiceless and broke down the barriers of racism, his fans also stood up for him and his family during all of the trials and tribulations they have gone through. To coin a phrase created by Seven, we are all his extended “fan-mily” and we will do our best to make sure that he is remembered for all of the right reasons. The sunflower patch continues to grow each year connecting fans, many of whom create lasting friendships, from all areas of the world. This very unique garden of L.O.V.E. is the living reality of Michael’s dream; the manifestation of his idea of each of us, regardless of race, religion, or social status, holding hands across the world and working together toward making the positive change Michael often spoke of. As he eloquently sings in the song, “Man in the Mirror” the first step toward change is to 18

take a good, hard, honest look at ourselves and ask what we can improve today in order to create a brighter tomorrow. Small steps result in big changes and if we keep dedicated to our effort, we will see a much better world in a short time. Seek opportunities to make a positive difference each day, even in small gestures. Focus on service to others who may be going through difficult times, and be compassionate in extending your hand to them. If we all make an effort to clear out the weeds in the garden of life, we will discover the magnificent beauty of the amazing garden Michael visualized when he created his Earth Song film, showing us the possibility of what could be if we dare to care. “Sunflowers for Michael” is a virtual garden planted in the hearts of all MJ fans. It can be found on Facebook, and membership is required. It is a place where fans can discuss the positive aspects of Michael’s life, and exchange ideas for helping others. All we ask is that fans keep it respectful in their comments toward Michael and his family, and to contribute small donations each month so we may continue to keep Michael’s resting place beautiful. We invite you to look at the phenomenal photo album gallery from our visits in the past few years, and to see the outpouring of loving sentiments in the cards and letters sent from various places, written in many languages. Some may view Michael as a dreamer, but when I look at the news headlines each day I know one thing for sure: I would rather live in Michael’s dream than in our reality.

t Believe Foundation we work to make that happen, through holistic community outreach events and programs to meet the needs of the whole person. We can meet academic, physical , emotional, and social needs, but to neglect spiritual needs is to fall short.

mphasizing the universal appeal of the entertainment industry, we seek to inspire inner-city youth to become the artists and audiences of the future. In addition to after school performing arts workshops, television productions and music workshops, Believe Foundation has just partnered with Institute for Maximum Human Potential. This partnership will be the guiding force behind the creation of the Los Angeles School of Arts and Entertainment, a performing arts school slated to open in 2014.

troubled young people, real change begins. Broken spirits are restored, making way for hope, which can inspire

entire

family. When families' change, something even bigger happens, neighborhoods change and

e're providing options for those who have few or no options. To believe in themselves is all we ask. It's a simple philosophy. Start kids off the right path and they will lead us to greatness. Believe Foundation is changing at risk kids in Los Angeles one kid, one family and one block at a time - and it all starts with a child or a young person. We believe if we impact their lives early on by giving them options and hope for the future, they will become productive members of the community and have a positive, lasting impression on society. Before changes occur in a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life it must occur in a person's heart and they have to believe in themselves and their talents.

ADVOCACY/VINDICATION This Vindication Initiative was indeed inspired by Michael Jackson. I actually saw him in a dream in the summer of 2009. We were in a classroom. He was a teacher standing at the blackboard and we were sitting at desks and listening. He was right in front of me but looking sideways, into the window. Was very sad. Very sad. Was wearing black trousers and a white shirt like in Black or White and looking exactly like in one of his photos which I saw only later. I had a piece of paper in front of me and something to write. He was telling us something without uttering a word but I nevertheless understood. Could not remember what he said when I woke up, but the dream gripped me so much that I decided to look up a fan forum to see what people were writing about him. This is how it started. This is exactly the way I saw him in a dream. When I later came across it on the internet it was a shock to see it.

“Father, Forgive Them; They Don’t Know What They Are Doing…” The musical piece provided here is by Johann Sebastian Bach and is called “Air”. It is accompanied by a picture of Moses who is desperate with his people who started praying to a Golden Calf while he was away carrying God’s commandments to them. The picture and music are dedicated to all those who also pray to the Golden Calf and are ready to lie about an innocent human being like Michael Jackson for money, fame, career or other reasons.

Vindicating Michael

my mind and forget about the whole thing until after he died.

February 26, 2010 It is a complete shame I hadn’t been among Michael Jackson’s supporters before he died. When all those awful allegations against him reached my part of the world in mid90s I couldn’t withstand the general wave of mistrust towards Michael and half-believed the horrible rumors about him saying to myself that “there couldn’t be smoke without fire” and “if so many people think that way they can’t be all wrong about it”. However the thought of a nice guy like that being probably involved in such a terrible crime was so uneasy and disquieting that I preferred to thrust it into the very back of 22

The news of Michael’s death brought a sudden feeling of sadness and a renewed interest in his personality while the strange circumstances of his tragic demise made me read and watch whatever there was to read and watch about him at the time. The result of this little research was quite unexpected – the more Michael’s videos I saw and the more of his speeches and interviews I read, the surer was a terrible guess creeping into my mind

and the more of his speeches and interviews I read, the surer was a terrible guess creeping into my mind – he was completely innocent…. to an extent we can’t even imagine…. how could we be that wrong …. what a shame on all our heads…. it’s almost like some 2000 years ago with that old story repeating itself……nothing changed, nothing learned…. is there a way to make up for it? The feeling of guilt, remorse and a terrible harm which cannot be undone has gripped me every since and is unbearable to live with. So now you know the reason for this blog – these posts are just a humble attempt to repent and make up for all the injustice I personally did to Michael Jackson by half-believing those nonstop lies about him told by the bloodthirsty, money-craving, small-minded and completely delirious media about the man whom they did not take the trouble to really know and whose little finger they are not worthy of.

http://vindicatemj.wordpress.com/

Besides the attempt to vivisect lies about Michael and clear his name of all the dirt thrown at him in such a ruthless and shameless way this blog is also a kind of Michael’s memorabilia with all sorts of facts, evidences, testimonies, observations and opinions about him collected from various sources and provided by different people many of whom have come to appreciate this pure and innocent guy only after his untimely death. The man we learned to admire and miss so late in our lives.

MICHAEL JACKSON COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUPS “Life With No Words” is support group

created for those who care to share and enjoy the assembly of others, who may be dealing with similar problem. What doesn't help one person may just help someone else.

and need support to regain spiritual freedom. This group is very new and of course many will have their specific thoughts. The creation of Life Has No Words is something that helped me when l had certain troubles and there was no one to talk to or guide me.

Life With No Words Jaws of Life

Many are battling bullies, suicide depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder alcoholism, or drug abuse. Having to deal with stress factors such as financial difficulties or troubles with interpersonal relationships require, from time to time, the Jaws of Life in which we need an open arm to embrace us or maybe someone to just listen. This world is changing rapidly. Jaws of Life is a special emergency rescue place made available, during that moment of crisis where we’ve lost control, lack a sense of direction and feel trapped; inside a severely damaged soul

The “Life With No Words” group turn our hearts toward each and every individual that comes here to talk about their troubles without being judged. I have been a victim of judgment but decided that it’s not about me. It’s about us being able to smile about whatever life throws our direction. We can rant whenever we feel the need to do so. No person will suffer any form of mistreatment. God bless and it’s all for love and l hope you enjoy and share this group. Let’s make that difference to continue a new day .

Michael's Soldiers of Love We here at Michael's Soldiers of Love are always dedicated to promote awareness of homelessness, getting involved with soup kitchens and being hands on in our communities, by creating projects that involve donating to charities. We truly support & embrace other groups for their respectable efforts. If you possess these qualities with your personal contributions, please join us. We welcome hands on Soldiers of L.O.V.E! In a world full of hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. Together we are "ONE". We are Michael's Soldiers of Love.

#Team Katherine Jackson A support group made up of approximately “932” members. Group was created on May 1, 2013 solely to support Mrs. Jackson and Michael’s three children during the “Jackson versus AEGLive” trial. It was important for us to let Mrs. Jackson and the world know that she was not alone in her quest to find out what actually happened to her son, Michael. We will continue to support Mrs. Jackson, Michael’s children and the entire Jackson family. Their message has always been “Love” and in the voice of “Marlon Jackson” our goal is to study “Peace” along with them. Our love is genuine and we do not expect anything in return. We ask that you pray for each one of us, children everywhere and for the world, as a whole, and we will pray for you. WE won't HARM her or anyone else with words from our mouth. WE LOVE YOU.

Accomplishments

ichael Jackson’s Legacy (MJL) is a charitable organization, founded in 2011, dedicated to continuing Michael Jackson’s humanitarian legacy in his absence, and thereby making the world a better place. Michael Jackson inspired love, hope and compassion worldwide through his music and through his humanitarian work on behalf of the suffering and underprivileged, and we are committed to continuing his legacy of love in his memory and through his example.

ur projects will reflect issues that he cared deeply about: the welfare of children and animals, the protection of the environment, and the elimination of needless suffering. We as individuals do not have the influence that a worldwide superstar can procure, but as individuals, we can ‘make that change’ and collectively, we can make a difference.

Protected Acre of Woodland

n acre of stunning woodland in the heart of Kent's Hucking Estate, UK, is now protected for posterity in Michael's memory thanks to the star's devoted fans around the world. 25

n 23rd November 2012, a dream came true for Michael Jackson's devoted fans around the world as they saw the dedication of Everland Children's Home - a building which will be a home to no less than 50 children for whom it will provide love, sustenance, stability and joy.

t is with a great sense of excitement that we can confirm the funding of Everland Haiti is now complete, it being the second children's home that Michael's faithful have enabled.

OTHER FAN ART Encore

is a play, inspired by Michael Jackson, written by Kay Poiro. I don’t think Kay intended for this play to be a comedy, but it turns out to be pretty funny at the end. Finally, Michael Jackson gets the last laugh. Eventually he would win. The name of this play is very fitting. Take a bow Michael and Kay. James, who thinks he’s Michael Jackson, finally got his reward. “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi~

Dark stage.

DR. BENNIE

JAMES, late 40s/ early 50s, lawyer, 21st century Judas, and dermatologist to the stars DR. BENNIE enter with flashlights. Behind them are KIKI, 30s, ditzy nurse and JO, tall, white woman. All but Jo carry cardboard boxes.

You’re still here? JO Well, when James said the usual suspects were going back to the ranch, I thought, what a story! “Lawyer James and Dr. Feelgood- Dead Wrong”. Ever heard of someone literally being scared to death?

JAMES (sings)

“It’s close to midnight, something evil’s lurking in the dark...”

KIKI

KIKI That’s not funny. Do you know what my horoscope said this morning? “Tragic events”. I’m a Cancer. Cancers can’t handle tragedy.

This stuff is really heavy. I think I’ll just set it over here... She stumbles around the room

JO Anyway, James, this anonymous caller calls and says what, exactly?

DR. BENNIE

JAMES He said there’s another will.

KIKI

(to Jo) You’re full of it. Guys? I don’t think I can hold these much longer!

DR. BENNIE There’s always another will. Another will, another lawsuit, another lost recording...

JO Say what you want, but ten grand says he shows up tonight.

JAMES Damn the records. This is about the cash.

James returns with more boxes JAMES

Dr. Bennie and Kiki look around, nervous

Even if he did, how would you know? He went from a black man to a white woman in the span of twenty years. Nice work, by the way.

JAMES Tell me you guys don’t buy that “haunted house” shit.

He claps the uncomfortable Dr. Bennie on the back

DR. BENNIE (quickly)

DR. BENNIE

I just came ‘cuz I want to look around one last time. And maybe ride the Ferris wheel. Seventeen years and I never got to ride it.

First of all, there isn’t going to be a headline because this place isn’tKiKi drops the boxes with a thud. Dr. Bennie jumps.

JAMES

Whatever. You play Peter Pan, I’ll find the will, get rid of it and get the hell out of here.

Did I mention how gorgeous you look tonight? He tries to touch her, she smacks his hand away

DR. BENNIE You’re going to get rid of it?

JAMES Anybody know why there’s KFC in the kitchen? They all search through the boxes

JAMES Unless it’s in our favor, of course. Don’t worry, man. Don’t you always get your cut?

KIKI

James leaves

That used to be his favorite food. What if he’s...?

KIKI (from behind the boxes)

DR. BENNIE He’s dead, Kiki.

Where can I put these?

JO And you know this because...

JO Hmm? Wonder what your cut’ll be this time?

OTHER FAN ART DR. BENNIE Because me and a bazillion other people watched the memorial on T.V. JO You mean that circus with the fake tears and the big, gold, empty casket? JAMES Please. DR. BENNIE That casket wasn’t empty. KIKI I heard it was empty, too. I heard he was still alive. Everyone groans KIKI I’m serious! You didn’t see the video of him in the helicopter? Or his ghost on CNN? JAMES Sure, I saw it. Trust me, the man’s as cold as his singing career. KIKI James! How could you? Weren’t you his lawyer? JAMES Yep, and that’s how I can say we’re better off. That freak did a lot toward healing the world when he left it.

DR. BENNIE What about the Ferris Wheel? KIKI Guys, I never told you this but I’m a little bit psychic. She closes her eyes, concentrating. James pulls a jacket and hat out of a box, slips them on KIKI He’s here. DR. BENNIE Don’t get yourself worked up again. KIKI And he wants us out of his house. DR. BENNIE It’s not his house. The bank owns it. He abandoned the house and he abandoned us. KIKI/ JO/ JAMES “Us”? Dr. Bennie continues talking and searching through the boxes, talks as if nobody is there.

JO You might want to keep the harsh words to a minimum, James. Especially in his living room. KIKI Jo’s right. The walls might have ears. DR. BENNIE Boy, if these walls could talk... JO And what would they say, doctor? Would they tell on you? JAMES Here we go again... After a long pause, Kiki starts talking, almost to herself KIKI I was at a stoplight on La Brea. Tasha texted me. He was dead. Heart attack. I thought it was a joke. Then, I got a text from Dr. Bennie. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, I only met him a couple of times at the end of my shift, but I sensed a connection...I just loved him so much! She breaks down. Jo comforts her. KIKI (hysterical) Ever since I was a little girl, I used to talk to my poster, the one where he’s wearing the yellow sweater? I didn’t see why everybody said he was aDR. BENNIE Nutcase? JO -Eccentric. If I were you, I’d stay right here in this room, wait until daylight and then leave. Peacefully. With your sanity.

DR. BENNIE After the second trial, I told him “fire everybody”. The handlers, the advisorseverybody. I told him he needs to go on T.V. and just blast those lying S.O.B.’s. I wanted him to get pissed! Stand up, look us in the eye and say he didn’t do it. (pause) He was a patient, but dang it if he wasn’t a friend. None of us got to say goodbye. Not even his kids. What kind of man does that to his kids...? JO Let he who is without sin, Dr. Feelgood... DR. BENNIE Stop calling me that! I’m not saying I didn’t do my part, all right? I knew I was wrong, I’m not saying that it wasn’t. But he was a fifty year old man. He knew what he was doing. James doubles over, groaning. He wears a fedora and a high school letterman jacket. KIKI Are you all right? DR. BENNIE What happened? James looks up, mimicking a werewolf. JAMES Go away! KiKi screams as James falls over, laughing. JAMES I can’t believe you idiots! Where’s your sense of humor?

OTHER FAN ART JO “Thriller”. Clever.

As she talks, she advances on James, cornering him. JO I trusted you, James. You were my lawyer. I brought you around my children, my mother. Then you go on Larry King and CNN with your filthy lies...I trusted you!

JAMES See? At least documentary filmmaker lady gets it. How do you like the outfit? There’s all kind of crap in these boxes.

She kicks over boxes, furious

KIKI I don’t like it. I don’t like any of this. (she gets into her coat) I need some air. She leaves, upset

JAMES I...I didn’t mean half that stuff.

DR. BENNIE Wait. I’ll go with you.

JO Then why did you say it?

Kiki and Dr. Bennie leave

JAMES I...I don’t know. ‘Cause I thought it was funny? JO It wasn’t.

JAMES Well, that’s it. No will and another waste of time. Let’s get this mess back down to the basement.

JAMES I’m sorry.

He starts packing up boxes; Jo calmly locks the door

JO Too late.

JO You sure talk a lot of trash about him, you know that?

JAMES Hey, look. Bennie’s got some stuff out in the car.

JAMES So what? His own family talks about him.

Jo scoffs

JO You talk trash, but have the nerve to break into his house and-

JAMES Come on. A couple hundred cc’s of sleep juice and you’ll feel much better. It’ll be just like old times.

JAMES Whoa! Legally, it’s my house. Legally, I own everything from the train station to the monkey cages.

JO These are new times, James. Better times.

JO Oh, please. You’re trespassing and you know it. I’ve seen you on T.V. You don’t think that hurts?

Pause

From outside, KiKi screams

JAMES Are you- are you going to kill me?

JAMES What the hell was that?

Jo giggles; from outside, Kiki yells “Oh, my God!”

Jo ignores him

JAMES What’s going on out there?

JAMES Look, we can get them in the morning. Let’s get out of here.

JO They must have found your body. I begged you to stay with me, but you went anyway. You slipped and fell and your poor head was cracked wide open. Blood everywhere.

Jo tenderly runs her fingers over the windowsills and walls. JO This place was so magical. Would you believe, that after all this, the only thing I wanted was someone to talk to? It’s true. Someone to talk to and a real friend.

James sits, realizing his fate. Jo takes the fedora from him, puts it on. JO So, how about it, James? One last show? For old times’ sake?

James looks confused.

James whimpers, shakes his head frantically.

JO Sh’mon, James. You didn’t think you’d get away with this, did you?

JO No? Come on. I promise it’ll be “dangerous”. Dangerous and really, really...

JAMES You’re messing with me.

She snaps her fingers.

JO (mimicking James) “He’s had so much surgery, he went from a black man to a white woman.”

Stage Black. JO Bad.

James realizes what’s happening and bolts for the door, it’s locked. Jo patiently waits for him to stop struggling

END

JAMES I’m not the only one. What about Bennie?

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS Remembering ALL those from the MJ Fanmily we lost to death in “2013” who we know and those we don’t know.

Mary Ann Irving was a member of the MJ Community; a true champion for Michael and who also supported his mother as a member of #TeamKJ. Her Sunset was June 22, 2013. Her daughter left her Facebook active if you know her and would like to post a memorial. Facebook. light they took with them.

Tomorrow is not promised … so don’t ever regret today Thursday, January 16, 2014 So many lives in their prime and beyond, suddenly and tragically cut short. I am reminded of a phrase that so many shared with me: “We can weep that she is gone or we can smile because she lived!” The footprints we leave behind are the ones that live on forever. Our positive impact on the lives of others is the greatest testimonial of a life well lived. The brutal reality is that we all share the same inevitable fate – the end of life on Earth. How we chose to spend our days here is what leaves that lasting impression. For people with faith, the conclusion of Chapter One simply reflects a transition. Some would argue that the next phase is the best one – the icing on the cake. For those with contradictory beliefs, the end of natural life can be much more daunting. I choose to believe in life after death because it is indeed more appealing, but I also have faith, and I can quite literally feel the spirit of my daughter, Jaiden, within me and all around us. The reality is that in the early days following a loss, it is difficult to believe in anything. The pain is so completely encompassing and darkly paralyzing it is difficult just to breathe. The moments pass in agonizing slow motion, and the bitter cold outside reflects the numbing cold from within. There is no magic time frame or gentle healing words that can change anything. But the support and love of the people around us can indeed lift us off of the icy ground of total chaos and into a more peaceful aura of cool numbness. We relish in their ability to feel our pain and share our memories – their willingness to reflect on the life that was lived, not to dwell upon the loss that took our shining star away. Life is crazy and random. One second can change everything forever. So we must strive to spend each moment of each day in the manner that best represents the memories we want to leave behind. Some people are simply born with a mystical ability to bring light and love into any room they enter. It hurts the most when these people leave, because no matter how many 60-watts we turn on, we can never replace the

And so it goes that on the days our hearts hurt most and are filled with darkness … the skies of Heaven must be bursting with a brightness so intense and vivid, that we could never imagine. A light so powerful that our retinas would burn from the exposure, yet, we would never feel pain, only ecstasy and rapture. I believe in Santa, and I believe in heaven, I also believe in angels on Earth. In fact, I was blessed to visit with one last week – a classmate from long ago that was confronted with a terminal illness. She fought valiantly every step of the way, until the disease took her body over. Yet it never took her spirit. She shines as brightly now as she did in her vibrant youth. She exemplifies in her every actions the positive outreach that so many strive a lifetime to achieve, yet never do. I can sense that many of the tragic losses in the past month have happened to similar souls. I have no answers as to why, only my guess that heaven needs the light right now more than we do. So I will pick up the pieces and try to be just a bit brighter to balance what has been left behind. I am dreading the day when my special Earth angel friend moves on. My motivation is selfish … she brings out goodness in everyone around her. She will leave behind a void, yet, I know that where she is headed will rejoice upon her arrival. And I’m certain that Jaiden has been waiting for her, watching over from above and sending her courage and strength to let go. Life is fleeting and we cannot get back one single moment. Nor can we take a penny or a possession with us. So live today like this is your very last day. Tell the people who need to know how much you love them. Eat that chocolate cake. Buy that special gift without remorse. Tomorrow is not promised … so don’t ever regret today.

No. The law may indeed be a wisenheimer. As laymen, we get that. What we do not get, as responsible lay-citizens, is the judicial or common sense in continuing to be governed by a wisenheimer or an army of them. The smart choice is for Americans to instigate their elected representatives to legislate wisenheimer-like laws off the books. We can also do more to help our honorable Justices remain honorable in the precedents they set or omit to set. We do not want activist judges operating like politicians-in-drag. Simultaneously, we do not need judges who will shy away from setting legal precedents necessary for strengthening delivery of justice as envisaged by framers of the piece of legislation at issue. This is the rationale for all men and women of goodwill to rally round efforts to institute and protect the rights of the dead, Michael Jackson and all. Even if for no other reason, do it for selfish ends. Yes, selfish ends! Your own ends! Just in case you forgot for a moment, you too will be dead one day, right? As you lay your bed, you lie on it. If you do not lay your bed now, who knows whether you will even have a bed left to lay when the time comes.

MICHAEL JACKSON FAN COMMUNITY GLOBAL EVENTS The two filmmakers reluctantly found themselves embroiled in the tug of war between the media and Michael Jackson fans. A variety of notable news and entertainment reporters from around the world found the camera turned on them. Michael Jackson’s fans came to show their support for him as well as give their views on the accusations surrounding the super star. Much of the media seemed more interested in exploiting the fans than reporting the situation. The film evolved from the filmmaker’s observations of the interesting dynamics between the media and the fans.

belief of many Michael Jackson fans that, together, they can launch a positive campaign to purchase this documentary and then perhaps petition to have it aired on network television. The documentary was broadcast on the documentary channel in September of 2010 The fans feel they should be able to persuade other television networks to do the same. We believe it’s worth the effort and will join them in this endeavor. As a fan, someone who purchased the DVD back in 2010 and have viewed the film, I support this project and ask you to support it by sharing this information.

Michael Jackson COMMUNITY ACCOMPLISHMENTS Uncover Michael Jackson's Name (The Gardner St. School Issue Campaign) In October of 1989, Michael Jackson attended a dedication ceremony at the Gardner Street Elementary in Los Angeles to name the auditorium of the school where he was once a sixth grader in his honor. However, by 2003 the school decided to cover up Michael’s name and according to a newspaper article posted in LAist Daily: Jackson's name had become more synonymous with tabloid fodder and his high profile legal troubles, particularly those involving children, and so the school decided to cover up his name on their auditorium. Jackson Fans Campaign to Have Name on School Uncovered. In March of 2010 the MJ Fan Community launched a campaign to have Michael Jackson’s name uncovered. Hundreds of letters from fans were sent to LAUSD Superintendent, Ramon Cortines. Fans were very concerned that Michael had been acquitted of the 2003 charges and his name remaining covered was unfair. The campaign received a wellspring of media attention and after seven months of a concerted community effort Michael’s name was uncovered. In October of 2010 Michael Jackson's name gleamed again at the Hollywood school Photo from old.allforloveblog.com blog

For seven years, the letters proclaiming Michael Jackson Auditorium at Gardner Street Elementary were covered, placed at the behest of parents shortly after the pop singer's arrest in 2003. Now, a year after his death, the sign is back. (October 16, 2010|By Kate Linthicum, Los Angeles Times )

In November of 2010 a month after the uncovering of his name two of the fans spearheading the campaign Sahar Jannati, Team Spokeswoman, and Jenifer Marino, LA Representative were guest on “A Place In Your Heart” blogtalk radio show .

Thank all of you so much for all your PROFESSIONAL dedication in making this happen. You were fortunate to have such a logical and persistent leader here in LA as Jennifer to work with me and guide the process on your end. We have sent her ...a video of the removal of the boxes from Michael's name which she will post, thanks to Christina and Michael Bulbenko, two phenomenal parents of former "Gardnerville" students.

We are all working with the executive producer of the Jackson family events in planning an official media event to rededicate the auditorium in December. Stay tuned for updates and SPECIAL thanks to all who are sending donations to my school. You can be assured that every donation will go towards the effort to support our arts and music programs in Michael's name.

“Divided We Shall Fall"

This segment of the magazine was given the title of “Watchmen On The Wall” because the “Watchmen” are people, in the Michael Jackson Community, who watch the activities of the fans in the community. These persons pay close attention to the conversations that tend to stir or arouse strong debates or arguments. The Watchmen generally keep their opinions to themselves and only observe. The opinions which have no foundation of truth or can not be verified are those that have, among many, caused unnecessary divisions. Although the Watchmen’s opinions are just that perhaps some sense can be made out of the thoughts they have to offer. We hope so. All Watchmen will remain anonymous to avoid confusion or more strong debates. These thoughts are merely the opinions of real people/fans. Just think of it as you would the “Dear Abby” column. Dear Abby gives her opinion but at the end of the day it is still just an opinion. One major topic, in the community, which seem to cause a great deal of distress and unrest is:

Was Michael Jackson Gay, Straight, on the Down-Low or Asexual? I’m happy for the opportunity to address some of the rumors and myths concerning Michael Jackson; and especially this one. This is one of the most talked about and argued about topic in the Michael Jackson community. I imagine it not to be strange that fans and nonfans would like to have the answer to this question. This Watchman doesn’t have the answer but here are my thoughts on this matter. If he was “Gay” that would make the gay fans happy. This group can then fantasize about how they could have had a sexual relationship with him. If he was straight or heterosexual that would make those who are straight or heterosexual extremely happy. Michael Jackson being straight would mean he had sex with only women and they can fantasize about having sex with him; or that would mean he didn’t have sex with other men or little boys. Those on the down-low side of the coin would be okay with that, but then some would question whether he could have molested children or little boys since he couldn't make up his mind. If he truly was asexual, so what? It doesn’t make him gay, straight or on the down -low. It would only mean that he chose to abstain. Oh, but that couldn’t be true. Michael Jackson loved women and he really did have sex with women. Many would fall into a deep state of depression having to admit that Michael Jackson may not have had sex with anyone, So then it would seem that he was not really loved among his fans as they claim. He is still in a position of being what others think he should be and if he can’t be the way I want him to be I can not be a part of this community. Therefore, I say your love for him was/is based on a certain condition. The big question, to those who wonder or who choose to argue about Michael’s sexual orientation, is what difference does it make? Are you going to love and respect him any less? If you knew the correct answer what would you do with it and what could you possibly do about it? Would you attempt to change him if he didn’t fit into the sexual category you thought was the best one? Why can’t he just be loved without him having to have been someone we fantasize him to be? We all can keep our fantasies. No one can take those away. They are ours to keep and mold as we so desire, but why do we have to fight over what sexual preference Michael chose? Doesn’t he deserve to have some secrets? Didn’t he have the right to allow everyone to think whatsoever they chose without him having to reveal anything? We all have choices and can do as we please but allow me to encourage you to leave it alone. It doesn’t matter. He’s still the “King of Pop” and his message is still “Love”.
