♥ *His Music Will Live Forever*♥

You know it's interesting this time around last year as I look back I can remember the many people in the community just "Estate Bashing". From the beginning I've been one of "those people" which defended actions of the estate. Because of my views I am not well liked in the community--let's put that out there. Not that it bothers me as I have a way of alienating people which I can see coming from a mile away because I stick to my convictions. 

 

 *Therefore, I'm good with that.

(Insert Smile)*

Anyway, back to the estate and why I chose to support it. After Michael had passed on what I saw was a calamity. In my view there was so much disorder and chaos! This wasn't just involving the business aspect but it was the entire fan base. Everyone was so divided on their views. Some thought that the family would be best representative of the estate and very few thought like I did.

*Yes, this was in the beginning.*

While I respect the Jacksons as a family they've made some not so good business choices in the past. I am not a Jackson hater. I've listened to their music growing up just like everyone else. They're a part of my childhood years just as well. They're also an integral part of history for me.

 

What blew my mind was that everyone had a fight going on. I recall when the Michael album came out how much division there was all because some had their own interpretations that the music included on the album was fake.

*You see, I have what you call a gift and a curse; I possess technical knowledge. I have a good comprehension of what it takes to record. I also comprehend how record labels can store outtakes and different vocal segments in a bank (some reference this as a vault) for many years.

Just because a particular song may not make the final cut on an album doesn't mean it's totally scrapped forever in many cases. I was the first to do a comparison of 2,000 Watts & Breaking News which some have heard on the Internet. Many others have done comparisons as well. However, I knew what I heard was Michael, minus all the pitch bending, the posthumous techniques, and the technology which was applied to get his vocals to match the music production. This is not an easy task.

I believe that the Jacksons knew that it was Michael on those tracks. Perhaps they were just very angry and hurt at the way everything played out regarding John Branca. Yes, you know the will, the trust--the estate as a whole. Deep down I think they were angry because they may have felt they should control Michael's assets. They’re Michael's family members for better or worse--after all... In the aftermath of it all Michael's estate still flourishes. Amidst the lawsuits, satellite estates, and recreated charities Michael still wins. He's equally as groundbreaking and epic as he was yesterday and still is today.

 

What I find amazing is that during the eye of evolution in the storm I've witnessed that estate transition from a point of cyclonic and brute force to evolve into what it is today. The BAD 25 ERA is upon us now and for the most part I can see some positive reaction from the community regarding this latest project. It is a very different tone from what it was back then when the Michael album was first released. People are actually looking forward to BAD 25 and everyone wants that darn BAD 25 jacket LOL!

Michael's estate is flourishing according to plan headed for the billions in profit margin. Sony/ATV coupled with the merger and acquisition of EMI has ensured that. This was what's called a business power move. This is on the next level to mega proportions. This what Michael ventured into so many years ago when he made an investment into the Beatles Catalog. Should Michael have been physically here to take part in this acquisition he would be a considered a business mogul! 

(Insert  Huge Smile Here)!!! *Does anyone realize this?*

The scope of this has changed drastically since we first began with the news on June 25th, 2009. We all miss Michael a great deal. I think it's safe to say that we miss him beyond what's possible to communicate through the expression of words. They're just not good enough or adequate enough to express this successfully.

For all the people which held Michael back or did anything which caused him any strife even in the afterlife he is doing it. Don't you just ♥ LOVE ♥ that? There are entities and forces which can't be controlled even in death there's life.

♥ *His Music Will Live Forever*.... ♥

LOCKDOWN: THE CONRAD MURRAY CHRONICLES

The CONFINEMENT of Constance:

Welcome to this episode of Connie's Chronicles and I have been designated to be your host, X1.  No this is not a joke whatsoever, I am about to read this dude. Perhaps I need to re-read the verdict for him just in case he has earwax buildup! Conrad Murray (A.K.A. Connie according to TMZ) appears to be playing the media card here--AGAIN!  Is it just me or does anyone seem to notice at the most inopportune times he seems to appear in the press with some wild tabloid story? Mostly this occurs during a significant day for the community.  

Whensoever there is a large event it seems he rears his convicted head like the plague--a horror! What an unwanted pest--does anyone have a can of Raid handy?  Poof, be gone, and please do go away!  This time he decided to appear unforgivably right before the third anniversary of Michael Jackson's death--and he also had the audacity to do this on June 25th, 2012!

(A Video Is Hidden Here Above)

Tell me, what are the odds that there is always an issue involving him or his camp on selective days? These issues coincidentally have a tendency to appear at a heightened state--at times when tributes are being done in remembrance of Michael Jackson.  There aren't that many coincidental instances of chance here.  What this appears to be is that Conrad Murray has gotten well versed in how to exploit a situation to his best advantage. His statements can't appear genuine because the releases to the public seem to be scheduled (on or around June 25th or August 29th)!  On or around these days in particular he always seems to have some issue.

DING IN THIS CORNER

X1 THE UNDISPUTED CHAMP:

Conrad Murray tried to pull a Floyd Mayweather on the judicial and corrections system.  There's just two things about that:

Here's a little background on Floyd so you can see clearly where I'm about to go with this here:

____________________

• "Floyd Mayweather Jr. got hammered by a judge, who just sentenced him to serve 90 days in jail for beating up his baby mama in front of their kids. Floyd was sentenced to 6 months in jail, but 3 months of that sentence was suspended.  He also gets 3 days credit for time he has already served. TMZ broke the story ... the boxer was arrested in September 2010 -- after his ex-girlfriend accused him of striking her "multiple times in the head with his fist" and then threatening to kill her. Floyd struck a plea deal with prosecutors in the case -- in which he pled guilty to misdemeanor domestic violence ... in exchange for getting a pass on the felony battery charge."

BOXER FLOYD MAYWEATHER 90 Day JAIL STINT

• "Floyd Mayweather, Jr. says he's begun to shrivel up into a puny regular person during his first 12 days in the big house ... and he's worried he won't be able to bounce back in time to save his boxing career.  Mayweather made the statements in new legal papers ... in which he begs the judge to release him from the Clark County Detention Center in Nevada and let him serve the remaining time in his 3-month sentence on house arrest.  FYI -- Floyd is currently locked up for beating his baby mama in front of their kids last year.  In the docs, Mayweather says he spends 23 hours-per-day locked in isolation for his own safety. But he claims the imprisonment is taking a "cruel and inhuman" toll on his rippling physique because he can't train at a world class level while serving his time.  Mayweather claims his doctor is concerned about his "dehydrated appearance, his lack of muscle tone and his dry mucus membranes." Floyd says his doctor also "expressed deep concern for [Floyd's] health and explained that any lengthy period of time with an inappropriate diet, coupled with lack of regular exercise, will most likely lead to irreversible damage to Mr. Mayweather's physique." Floyd's doctor also told the court he's concerned about Floyd's diet ... because he used to eat 3,000 to 4,000 calories per day ... and now, the doc believes FM is eating less than 800." 

Jail is KILLING My Boxing Career

#1. Although undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and Conrad Murray both have instances of domestic violence on their records they are not exactly carbon copies of each other.

#2. Floyd Mayweather--no matter what you think about him and his actions which are certainly not acceptable under any circumstances--DID NOT administer Propofol to his patient unwarranted without any legitimate surgical procedures being performed thus resulting in the death of said patient.

OK now that we've gotten into the sinister particulars of the situation at hand let's address the actual allegations and claims made via Constance & his camp:

____________________

Queen of The Dragon:

Please don't take what I'm about to say in a disrespectful nature--this is in no way being stated to disrespect any "REAL WOMAN"!  However, he needs to tell this woman to shut up! She is saying things which relate to his health that don't make him seem in as much of a dire situation as he has proclaimed.

Perhaps her instrument would be better utilized in other areas where she is useful!  I don't see what she has done here as useful regarding grounds which Constance (Conrad Murray) has stated deemed him worthy of an early release due to his health--do you?  And what about all that reading and the migraine headaches any individual would normally get from a tumor?  Oh and what about his inability to wash his personals and him being well liked and around people in that state?  What does this say about his alleged issues with hygiene?  What does this say about his solitary confinement?

Then he wants to be a jailhouse professor--oh what gives...Doesn't he realize that he has to read and be around people in a most vile way regarding the hygienically correct aspect of this!???  It appears that Conrad Murray A.K.A. Constance won't man up and do his laundry in that jailhouse sink!  What does he require after all that his jailhouse issued boxers be starched and pressed--gimmie a break!

ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME

What is this has Constance been listening to Tupac Shakur while on lockdown?

OK now that we've gotten into the sinister particulars of the situation at hand let's address the actual claims made via Connie & his camp:

Therefore, please allow me to put things in their proper perspective and get it right on the first go round!

#1. The Jury handed down the guilty verdict.

#2. Judge Pastor did the sentencing and issued the maximum sentence allowable by law.

#3. Now, I'm doing the commentary!

 

It appears dude has this all misconstrued!  I'm afraid that leaves me no other choice but to help him!  He must have gotten a flashback from that hologram--well, to be politically correct, that "Pepper's Ghost".  I mean let's face it here he's already stolen and did exploit "The Floyd Mayweather Early Release Argument"...

DIANE DIMOND = YELLOW JOURNALISM

NO COLOR CUT OR CLARITY!

Diane Dimond I have come to the conclusion that you were the victim of some sort of pedophilia as a child. Perhaps you require some therapy for what ails you? You're a person who supposedly reports the news and you give more of your personal opinion than any factual content--for this reason I don't think you worthy of the title journalist.  The public doesn’t require you to do the thinking for them as you unleash an ill fated attempt to disseminate this garbage to the mainstream masses.  Pardon me lady, however, who cares what you assume?  It is your primary assumption that Michael Jackson was guilty of a crime he was acquitted of--it's your job to report facts.  

You as a media person are supposed to be impartial. We live in the United States!  Last I checked when someone is proven INNOCENT it means just what it states.  Michael Jackson isn’t the one which got away! Meanwhile, back at the ranch-- you consistently speculate and continue make your dubious comparisons!  With frankness and candor Diane you’re an absolute embarrassment to ethical journalism and professional integrity as a whole.  And when your personal career disintegrates many of us will be there to witness you self-destruct and implode. Yes, Diane Dimond, the journalistic trash peddler--an uncut, unpolished diamond with a multitude of inclusions!  You have no color, cut, or clarity to your madness—you’re Z Grade!

Michael Jackson went through the judicial process where he was judged via his peers.  Who are you to decide that you were a part of that jury? Moreover, the evidence proves that Michael Jackson was innocent and set up as a matter of extortion.  Any imbecile would see that and you don't need to particularly be fond of Michael Jackson’s art form for you to weigh the evidence!  What you can't do Diane is ignore the evidence presented at that trial which highlighted that child’s mother and showed us many inconsistencies with regard to testimony—crystal clear! Perhaps you should write an article on that?
 
What you're presenting here is a biased view; it’s non-factual and solely formulated by immense speculation. Conclusively the majority of your writings are derived solely from personal opinion. On a personal level I don't care for your opinion!  What I want are facts lady put your pen where your mouth is. Therefore, if you can't produce that in any of your writings the IMO's belong on Facebook and Twitter as they are the proper setting for that speculation and assumption.  You are quickly becoming a media parasite and a tabloid maggot.
 
What have you gotten out of your career thus far Diane?  Honestly lady, in what circle you’re taken seriously or considered even remotely important?  What are your contributions to journalism Diane a penned hate article here or there?  No one finds your brand of yellow journalism influential you’re so nasty and arrogant! You naturally assume by drafting such trash you can get some syndication?  There are no comparisons to be made between Jerry Sandusky or Michael Jackson this is all a figment of your imagination--the troubles of a beautiful mind.  Let’s face it Diane you’re a mental health issue with a pen!

Comedian Chris Rock's Insinuation
____________________

YOU'VE OFFICIALLY BEEN MIJAC'ED

CHRIS ROCK PORTRAYS POOKIE THE CRACKHEAD FROM THE MOVIE NEW JACK CITY

Today I am addressing the insinuation which Chris Rock made regarding how Michael loved children. You know it's really sad that we're not past this in Black comedy. If any person as an African American can't see how they did Michael then they are blind! To be ridiculed by your own people when you were proven innocent of something and the truth was exposed after your death is sickening. What's wrong Chris they're not laughing with you anymore are they laughing at you instead? Did you need to mention the name of Michael Jackson now that we have a current promotion going on to give your name a little buzz. I know what it is you celebs do when things aren't quite going your way.

Prepare to be rocked Chris Rock:

Michael Jackson was found innocent and during that trial there were many things which were exposed about that family and their intentions! There were even things exposed about the previous allegations from 1993. So tell me Chris how does it feel to be a SELLOUT? You've come a long way from playing "Pookie the Crackhead" in the urban movie "New Jack City" but I still see traces of "Crackhead Pookie" in your actions. You know as a matter of fact we in my community thought you played that part so well that you were in fact really using at the time of the filming of this movie. However, we don't hold that against you if it is the case as it was just a rumor. Do you comprehend how rumors and statements can damage now?

Neverending 6 The Peter Lopez Addendum

IN MEMORY OF PETER LOPEZ: 

 X1:

We all know there's much more to the story than what's being stated regarding the death of Peter Lopez. Peter Lopez was Michael's attorney after John Branca handed in his resignation. Peter Lopez took to the air waves in August of 2009 to discuss how there would be an investigation into Michael's death. He stated something went terribly wrong and that we would be finding out about that very shortly. There are some very mysterious and odd occurrences surrounding Peter's death no question.

The moment Peter decided to address the public concerning the investigation into the death of Michael Jackson shortly there after he wound up dead!  What are the odds of something occurring like that 1 Million to 1?  I have no clue what Peter knew however it is quite obvious that someone went to extreme lengths to silence him. They also went thought great lengths to ensure that it would appear to be a suicide.  They took special care to ensure that it would appear that Peter shot himself.  What was also weird about this was that Evan Chandler died by the same mysterious circumstances.  His death was also reported to be a suicide.  Now, I am no fan of Evan Chandler and he will not be greatly missed by me. Nevertheless, I am going to state that the circumstances surrounding his death are very strange and Peter Lopez's death also appears to mimic the death of Evan Chandler.  Coincidental or not I have no clue.

If the world can see what happened here with Peter Lopez why is it that no authoritative person can?  Someone needs to get deep check on the authorities in California and question what their procedures are for investigating cases.  I have no idea what goes on in that state which makes it so extremely hard to seek any justice or to even get the authorities not to botch an investigation. Michael Jackson's Lawyer Peter Lopez Found Dead - Telegraph

In my recollection there was a video from Radaronline around that time which spoke of how his friends and family were in severe shock.  Some stated that nothing was indicative of Peter having any symptoms of depression or being in a somber mood.  That morning Peter even dropped his children off to school and no one had any reason to suspect that he wouldn't be around at the end of the day.  What's sad about this here is that another set of children are now without a father.  My heart goes to Catherine Bach as well she lost her husband and the father of her children in this.

RADAR EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Friends And Family Of Catherine Bach's Husband Are Shocked And Devastated By His Apparent Suicide 

• "Speaking to the dispatcher, Bach says in the call that she did not want to go outside where her husband was in fear that someone might shoot her ("No, I can't. I'm afraid that the person might shoot me and I have two little girls," Bach responded when asked if she was physically with the victim). She also references a robbery in the neighborhood a couple of days before. Bach then says a housekeeper went out into the backyard to try and figure out what happened, reporting back that no weapons were laying around Lopez."

• Later, a woman named Nancy who identifies herself as Catherine's assistant, gets on the phone: "We don't have any idea [if Lopez shot himself]. We just heard a thud and I think it could've even just been maybe he had a heart attack. He could've fallen and a branch broke, know what I mean? I just don't know. It's very possible that he just... That it was a branch breaking. It sounded like that to me. Somebody else said it sounded like a gunshot, but sounded more like a branch breaking, but I don't know."

Catherine Bach Thought Someone Shot Her Husband

• "60-year-old Lopez was said to be suffering from depression, though in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Lopez’s mother, Eleanor, expressed her shock at her son’s suicide, saying that her son did not seem depressed on the days leading up to his death. A sentiment echoed by Catherine’s ex-Dukes Of Hazzard co-star, John Schneider – who told RadarOnline.com, “I saw him only 3 weeks ago, and he seemed fine. Never underestimate the hard times that we are in, especially if you are a parent.”

RadarOnline

• "Lopez's mother, Eleanor, told website Radar Online that Bach has been devastated and shocked by her husband's suicide: 'She is falling apart, I don't blame her. She's in shock.' Eleanor said he had shown no outward signs of depression and appeared happy in his work. 'I just can't believe it. I spoke to him just last night and he seemed fine. I've been in and out of hospital lately and he's been calling me every day to make sure I'm OK.' She said the spot where he is believed to have killed himself was up a hill in the garden with views extending over the Valley."

Catherine Bach's Husband Peter Lopez Shot Self in Head Left Suicide Note

Yes, I am clear that someone had a great reason to want Peter Lopez out of the picture.  Not only am I clear of that there appears to be many different versions of the same story. To our knowledge Peter Lopez had no reason to take his life and everything to live for.  Now what happened here?  What is it about the authorities in California when situations involve any person which is associated with a celebrity/or an actual celebrity that the incident or case doesn't warrant a through investigation?  If this were to have happened anywhere else in the United States there would be cause for all sorts of alarm!  Common people get scrutinized to the maximum surrounding any murder or death investigation.  With the mysterious circumstances surrounding the of the death of Peter Lopez this was clearly not the case!

Catherine Bach leads mourners at funeral of lawyer husband Peter Lopez

Here we have several conflicting news reports.  You have some reports which state that Peter was fine and had no openly visible signs of duress. And then on the other hand you have other reports which state that Peter was stressed out and that he was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in his backyard.  Then you have other conflicting reports which state that Peter was found in his front yard dead of a gunshot wound to the head.  I am to the point where I must believe that this is a coverup even if I didn't want to.  

Either he was in the front or the backyard!  Now how high is the level of difficulty here? Why is this all so confusing?  Why is his location being confused or was it on the hill overlooking the valley--was that also in the backyard?  Did anyone listen to that 911 Call?  To me it sounds as if Catherine Bach stated that she thought someone shot her husband. Catherine also stated that she didn't know if the person which shot her husband was on still on the premises! She then stated that she didn't know if that person would attempt to shoot her and that she had small children. Catherine also stated that the local authorities should get over there right now.  Evidently from where Catherine was located she could see Peter!  Catherine Bach even mentioned Peter's feet and positioning. Catherine had to be in her home when all of this transpired!  She would then have an eyewitness account of what occurred there.  Then there are other reports which suggest that there was no firearm visible when Peter was discovered.  I'm sorry I don't believe that Peter Lopez killed himself.  It is all just too convenient and the different accounts just don't match up properly.

• "A source close to the family tells TMZ Peter dropped the kids off at school at about 9:00 AM Friday.  When he got home, we're told Peter went to the backyard and shot himself in the head. We're also told people close to Peter thought he seemed "stressed out" in the weeks leading up to his death ... but that he did not tell anyone -- including his family -- what was bothering him."

TMZ

• "This morning – Friday April 30 2010 – Peter Lopez was found dead around 11:30 a.m. on the front lawn of his Encino, CA home. He is the husband of Catherine Bachs, who played Daisy Duke on the “Dukes of Hazzard.” He was also one of Michael Jackson’s music attorneys. According to KTLA, Bach called the police saying that her husband had shot himself on the front lawn. When officers arrived to investigate, they found him dead. Back and Lopez have been married since 1990 and have two children: Sophia and Laura. So far there is no word on what could possibly be the motive for Lopez to have shot himself."

• "According to reports, a 911 call was placed at around 11:26 am at the Encino home of Catherine Bach’s husband, Peter Lopez. It is unbelievably said that the attorney was “never transported” because he had already died when paramedics arrived on the scene. It is said that Lopez was found with an obvious gunshot wound that apparently killed him on the spot, in the front lawn of their home in Encino, California."

TOHME R. TOHME


A PERSON OF EXTREME INTEREST

X1:

 *Dr Tohme Tohme Provided Great Help to Michael Jackson In Financial Matters*:

There's too much controversy surrounding Tohme R. Tohme!  There were allegedly death threats and all sorts of things which his name has come up in.  There are many reports which point to him not having a very good business rating.  There are even reports which have suggested that he's fabricated his credentials!  According to some of these investigative type reports Tohme R. Tohme has stated that he was an ambassador at large for The Country of Senegal.  The Senegalese Embassy has sated that they've never heard of him.  Geraldo Rivera has done extensive reporting on Tohme R. Tohme.

He's stated that he's a doctor however no one can seem to find any verification of this.  Then there are reports which suggest that Tohme R. Tohme has been involved in extensive litigation which was all settled before it could reach the trial stage.  According to the reports this litigation stemmed from allegations of fraudulent practices.  Now Tohme R. Tohme via his own admission has stated that he purposely kept people out of Michael Jackson's life did this include his family??? Then you had Tohme R. Tohme in my opinion through the work of a publicist which assisted him in the dissemination all sorts of propaganda in the early days.  My guess is that he hired a public relations firm but they couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again ;(.  He was most certainly not successful in his endeavor.  I actually have these articles and I will be sure to reference them in this blog.

What I think occurred here is that he took a tip from Conrad Murray and hired a public relations firm to attempt a positive spin on his actions.  We all see how that turned out for Conrad Murray--disastrous the theatrics and PR Stunts preposterous!  He should have put all of that money into his defense!  Since when do people like Tohme R. Tohme and Conrad Murray require the services of a publicist???  No matter how much Tohme R. Tohme may attempt to put a spin on what happened with Michael he can't as he can't justify half of what he allegedly has done.  Better yet how can a "nobody" afford a professional publicist?  Again, I am seeing the same pattern here as Conrad Murray, I think I have made the mother-ship connection here!  There is a think tank behind these two men.  I presume that the think tank could be the same individuals as the methodical delivery is the same.

What I do comprehend are the powers that be behind Tohme R. Tohme! Best stated by Michael Jackson the force has got a lot of power! The powers are so influential and controlling that they have made him disappear as if he never existed!  There's not even a blip of him on sonar or the media radar for that matter!  It is as if Tohme R. Tohme is the Invisible Man.  The media will now no longer touch him as if he has an off limits stamp on his forehead!  Do not tell me these shadow people don't exist we've all seen them and we know that they are there! Therefore, now I am inquisitive! How do any of these "so called" reputable business men co-mingle with the likes of Tohme R. Tohme? How did a "nobody" reach the heights of the Phillip Anschutz's and the Tom Barrack's of the business world?  I would love to hear a story about how these men became acquaintances.  I have heard that Tohme R. Tohme shares some sort of in-law connection to Phillip Anschutz.  People have posted things related to ancestry.com.  Until I can see this information it is just a rumor.  Where is the actual record from this website.  I am very familiar with this website.

• "It should be rockin’ at the Hard Rock Café in New York today where famed auctioneer Darren Julien is exhibiting items from the forthcoming Michael Jackson memorabilia sale. Last week, Julien and his partner Martin Nolan entered affavadits into Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that an associate of Jackson’s suggested they were in danger from the Nation of Islam if they didn’t stop the auction scheduled for Los Angeles next month. Jackson’s representative, James R. Weller, Julien says, met with him and Nolan on February 9, 2009 and threatened him with reciprocity from the Nation of Islam. For most of 2004, Jackson was managed by Leonard Muhammad, son in law of Louis Farrakhan. His security was provided by the NOI as well throughout his 2005 trial for child molestation. Julien says that Weller, who is partners with Jackson’s manager Tohme R. Tohme in an enterprise called TRW Advertising, asked to meet them at a fast food restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard. There, Julien and Nolan each claim in sworn statements, Weller made a veiled threat on behalf of Jackson and Tohme. "During the meeting, Weller told Martin and me that our lives would be in danger if we did not postpone the auction. Weller said if we refused to postpone it, we would be in danger from "Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam; those people are very protective of Michael." Julien’s statement continues: "He told us that Dr. Tohme and Michael Jackson wanted to give the message to us that "our lives are at stake and there will be bloodshed." The next day, Tohme insisted on meeting Julien and Nolan at a Starbucks, Julien says in the declaration. "At that meeting, Tohme dnied any knowledge of Weller’s threats, and said that he accepted the auction would need to proceed as agreed." I wrote about this Tohme R. Tohme in this column last week. Although he refers to himself as "doctor" and lets others do so as well, he conceded to me that he is not now a licensed physician. He refused to say if he ever was one, what kind, or where he received a degree. On the website for TRW Advertising, Tohme — who is Lebanese — asserts that he’s Ambassador at Large to the country of Senegal. Yesterday I spoke with a representative for that country at their Washington embassy who said he’d never heard of Tohme R. Tohme. "There are two ambassadors at large," said Mr. Mansour Gueye. "He isn’t one of them." Weller, accused of making the threat, did not return messages. In contrast to Tohme, Weller is considered legit. On the TRW site he lists over twenty years of experience in the advertising world, much of it in Republican politics and verifiable. An associate says he’s known Weller for most of that time, and he’s on the up and up. Tohme is a different story."

Dr Tohme Tohme Helped Michael Jackson With Comeback Ventures

• "Dr. Tohme Tohme was Michael Jackson’s close personal friend, as well as serving as the pop star’s manager during the last year and a half of Jackson’s life. Dr. Tohme Tohme had great expertise in the financial world, and he advised Jackson on several important financial matters that helped to remedy the star’s mounting financial problems. Tohme worked closely with Jackson and negotiated the real estate deal that saved Jackson’s Neverland Ranch from foreclosure in 2008. Dr. Tohme Tohme also played a key role in discussing possible deals for Jackson’s future appearances and performances; the most notable of these negotiations resulted in Jackson’s eventual signing and announcing of THIS IS IT, Michael Jackson’s historic O2 arena concert deal. Dr. Tohme accompanied Jackson to London on his private jet, and was by Jackson’s side at the press conference when Jackson announced the shows at the O2 Arena in London in February 2008. The London press conference at the O2 was a very special occasion for Jackson who was excited that he’d be performing in front of his children on such a grand scale. Dr. Tohme mentions that Michael Jackson was an extremely kind and attentive father, who loved his children immensely. Dr. Tohme was deeply saddened and shocked by Michael Jackson’s sudden passing due to the tragic loss of his dear friend and also for the extreme sense of loss and sadness that all of his family members faced upon losing such a beloved family member. Dr. Tohme Tohme served as the pop star’s manager and spokesperson while also resolving many legal issues and lawsuits that had plagued Michael Jackson, as well as negotiating several exciting deals related to Jackson’s comeback. Tohme R Tohme also worked diligently with Michael Jackson to bring balance in the star’s finances and in an effort to save him from financial ruin. Dr. Tohme said that in the past years, several people had managed the star’s finances which left the star’s financial condition in disarray. Dr. Tohme had been working closely with Jackson and his advisors for the past year and a half of Jackson’s life with the goal of getting Jackson’s finances in order. Tohme Ramez Tohme had planned several profitable business activities based on the star’s legacy which included deals for a Broadway show and an animated series based on Michael Jackson’s hit, “Thriller”. Dr. Tohme Tohme had been collaborating with Jackson and respected fashion designers to create both a Michael Jackson clothing line and also “moonwalk-inspired shoes” made famous by the immensely talented popstar and dancer. Dr. Tohme was also very diligently working to renegotiate more favorable terms on some of Jackson’s main assets that included singer’s fifty percent share of the Sony-ATV Music Publishing Catalog, which includes the Beatles songs, which Jackson had previously used for taking out massive loans. Dr. Tohme’s efforts to help the pop star sadly came to a standstill with Jackson’s tragic passing."

Anyone which chooses to ignore the devil in the details of this picture doesn't want the truth to come out for it states a thousand words.  All we have to do is look at the great help which Tohme R. Tohme provided to Michael Jackson by installing himself as the President of MJJ Productions.  We can also gather all of the great help provided via Tohme R. Tohme when we look to the Julian's Auction House Scandal.  I don't know about you but I smell a rat...To top it off Michael wanted everything itemized & documented by way of photographs so he knew what he had--he had so many things. *How much of Michael's stuff did they walk away with???!!! 

Here's the guy which stated via his own admission he kept Michael isolated thus keeping him in seclusion.  He was Michael's only connection to the outer world.  And as such his primary role was being Michael's connection and liaison even with respect to his own bank accounts and access!  However, when it came to all of these duck type physicians and quacks he didn't seem to keep them at bay. Now, all of a sudden he wasn't watching or overseeing as he has stated he was.  Is it possible that Tohme R. Tohme was in complete control???  Mind you Tohme R. Tohme also voluntarily gave up $5 Million Dollars of Michael's money which he had stashed away.  In my book if you give this amount there's more where that came from and you are attempting to divert any suspicion(s).

MJJ Productions vs.julien s Auction House Tohme

• "Julien signed agreements with Tohme and removed hundreds of items from Jackson's shuttered and sold Neverland Ranch for the sale, which was expected to fetch about $10 million. It would have been the largest authorized auction of items associated with the self-styled King of Pop, who has been a virtual recluse since his 2005 acquittal on charges of molesting a young boy at Neverland. But on March 4, Tohme and Jackson's production company filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles seeking the return of unspecified items. Although a Los Angeles judge ruled earlier this month the auction could proceed, the two sides continued talks to settle the dispute. COLLECTION TO BE SHARED WITH PUBLIC? Julien said earlier this month he had spent some $2 million preparing the sale and the exhibit. He did not say how much Jackson had agreed to pay under Tuesday's settlement but added; "We are very happy. We are happy because he is happy." Tuesday's statement suggested the items would find a permanent public home in the future but gave no details. "There was so much interest from so many of Jackson's fans that instead of putting the items in the hands of private collectors, Dr. Tohme and Julien's Auction House have made arrangements that will allow the collection to be shared with and enjoyed by Jackson's fans for many years to come," the statement said. The 30,000 square-foot (2,787 sq meter) exhibit includes Jackson's red, gilded throne, his Rolls-Royce stretch limo, sequined costumes, portraits of Jackson, pictures of Peter Pan, and toys from the Neverland ranch. Abby Marie, a Jackson fan visiting on Tuesday, told Reuters earlier it would be a pity to see the items sold off to separate bidders. "I hope one person buys it all and puts it in a museum," she said."

Shadow People Lurk In The Darkness

Here's the thing with these shady and sickening shadow people, they are the individuals which avoid the media and scrutiny.  They are blood suckers from the  bottomless pit. Once they latch on to a host it is one heck of a labor to sever the connection of a parasite. Tohme R. Tohme may have escaped the Conrad Murray Involuntary Manslaughter Trial however he didn't escape X1!   Don't tell me that he had no knowledge of Michael seeing any doctors by way of his own admission he stated that he kept people away from Michael.  What this says to me is that the only people which got around Michael are the people which he placed there!   They weren't there if Tohme R. Tohme didn't allow it!  

Therefore, he knew, he was aware, and he was an attributing factor with regard to how the doctors got around Michael in the first place!  In my opinion they were there to keep Michael sedated while Tohme R. Tohme robbed him blind.  Let's be realistic he's been in the picture since the Neverland Ranch Deal with Tom Barrack.  To further expand he then filed a claim against the Michael Jackson Estate which stated that he was entitled to percentage of Michael's earnings.  In this claim he requested that the estate open its books so that he could see confidential accounting records with regard to proceeds. 

While Tohme R. Tohme was doing the managerial work of his life he forgot to file taxes.  Let's not forget that all of Michael's money affairs were handled by him.  Why is it then that he didn't have the CPA's break the IRS off regarding Michael's taxes?  What type of managerial position was this???  The estate then had to clean up his mess by filing taxes for prior years which were not addressed during the tenure of Tohme R. Tohme. Is there anyone which is more worthy to chronicle the last year of Michael's life other than Tohme R. Tohme?  He would know he kept everyone at bay!  Just in case anyone wasn't aware Tohme R. Tohme was also listed in the credits for "This Is It".  It has also been alleged that he threatened Michael and his family when his tenure was terminated.  That's still no excuse for him not taking part in the AEG litigation as he has direct knowledge of Michael's physical and mental health also financial status.  The threat allegations are public now he would know better than to attempt anything when he is still very much under a microscope until this blows over.  It will be several years before that goes into effect.

Dr. Thome Thome Files Claim Against MJ Estate

• "Over the weekend, Tohme, a native of Lebanon who claims to have helped Jackson rescue Neverland Valley Ranch from foreclosure last year, broke his silence about the death of his friend for the first time and spoke to The Associated Press, describing his relationship with the late singer and how he briefly entered the star's orbit. Tohme, described by the news service as "a financier with a murky past," said he was contacted last year by Jackson's brother Jermaine, who asked if Tohme could help rescue Neverland from falling into foreclosure. The pair traveled to Las Vegas, where Jackson was living at the time, and Tohme said they instantly bonded. For the next year, Tohme would server as Jackson's final business manager and spokesperson. "For the last year and a half, I was the closest person to Michael Jackson," said Tohme, who added that he was inspired to help because he saw that Jackson was a "wonderful human being" and a fine father to his three children. Tohme said he helped negotiate a deal with his close friend, the chairman of Colony Capital, who was hesitant to get involved until he was persuaded to go visit Jackson in person. Impressed by Jackson's "intelligence and focus," Colony agreed to buy the mortgage on the home and keep it out of foreclosure. That deal brought Tohme, believed to be in his late 50s, and Jackson, 50, together in a partnership that included the contract for what was scheduled to be Jackson's triumphant return to the top of his game: a 50-show run at the O2 arena in London that was to begin next Monday."

MTV News

• Tohme, a financier with a murky past, had been contacted by Jackson’s brother, Jermaine, who asked if Tohme could help to save Jackson’s beloved Neverland ranch from foreclosure. Tohme said he traveled with Jermaine to Las Vegas, where Jackson was living after years of wandering the world following his acquittal on child molestation charges. They bonded instantly. “For the last year and a half I was the closest person to Michael Jackson,” Tohme said. He contacted Tom Barrack, the chairman of Colony Capital and a close personal friend. “He was hesitant to get involved, but I said, ‘Let’s go see Michael,’” Tohme recalled. After the meeting he said Barrack, who was impressed with Jackson’s “intelligence and focus,” bought the note for Neverland. But that was just the beginning of a business relationship that culminated in the London concerts that were to have begun next week. Wearing a suit with no tie, Tohme, Jackson’s last business manager and spokesperson, granted his first interview Friday to The Associated Press in the office of a lawyer friend. ‘I’m a private man’  Tohme, listed in public records as being in his late 50s, has been portrayed as something of a mystery man in the Jackson brain trust. “I hate the words ‘mystery man,’” he said. “I’m a private man. A lot of people like the media and I don’t. I respect the privacy of other people but lately nobody respects mine.  As he spoke, his cell phone rang constantly. He took only a few calls, one of them from Jesse Jackson. He has been stung by allegations that he was involved with the Nation of Islam, which he said was untrue. “I have nothing against anybody,” he said, “But I don’t know anyone from the Nation of Islam. When I took over Michael Jackson’s affairs, I fired some people from the Nation of Islam.”

Exposing The Shadow People:

X1:

Michael confided in Reverend June Gatlin during a telephone conversation and he knew he was being tape recorded by her.  She requested Michael's permission to record their private talks and Michael chose to grant her that right.  Reverend June Gatlin made a fearless attempt to expose this information to the media. Michael stated he had reason to fear this man Tohme R. Tohme.  Michael also stated that Tohme R. Tohme was getting involved in affairs which concerned him and his advisers.  Michael stated that he didn't know what was the balance in any of his bank accounts-- for him to obtain any information that he had go thorough Tohme R. Tohme.  At that point Tohme R. Tohme would then contact Michael's representatives and the respective financial institutions on Michael's behalf.  The financial information would then be relayed to Micahel via Tohme R. Tohme and NOT by Michael's advisers.  Tohme R. Tohme was in fact a middle man which had unparalleled access to Michael's personal accounts, affairs, and day to day life.  Tohme R. Tohme hired and fired Michael's staff as he deemed appropriate he had that much power and control over Michael's life!

Just how this was able to slip through the cracks of justice and it wasn't even given a second thought is beyond me.  Here we have Michael which was just recently pronounced dead when this news report came out.  This news report and the revelations which came with it were seemingly ignored by the authorities!  I ponder did the authorities ever approach Reverend Gatiln regarding the content of that tape recording. The recording aired on prime time news in the United States!  If the authorities didn't contact Reverend Gatlin I need to question why they did not.

Video Nbc Devastating Audio of Jackson Trying to Get Tohme Tohme Out of His Life

The fact of the matter is that Michael did in fact fire Tohme R. Tohme! However, further igniting matters (still not taking the hint while using strong arm tactics) Tohme R. Tohme chose to remain installed in the business affairs of Michael Jackson!  Underworld individuals which are into extortion do this. Tohme R. Tohme was dismissed and furthermore he still wouldn't uninstall himself even after Michael's death! This proves he had a serious glitch!  Actually, I do believe that this was a redundancy he must have assumed that Michael rehired him in an infinite loop even after June 25th, 2009.

Tohme Was Fired

• "Jackson severed ties with Tohme in May (09) after learning his manager had threatened the boss of a California auction house over memorabilia items that were set to go under the hammer. After rehiring svengali Frank DiLeo to look after his affairs, Jackson sent a letter to all business associates, in which he insisted, "Dr. Tohme Tohme is no longer authorized to represent me." But, Tohme spoke on behalf of Jackson hours after he died and conducted an interview with NBC two weeks after the tragedy in June (09), when he stated, "I'm still in charge of Michael Jackson's business until otherwise I am informed not to do so (sic)."

What Peter Lopez Did For Michael

X1:

Peter Lopez was assisting Michael to get his career and fiances back on track and he was present for a very important moment in Michael's musical legacy.  Peter assisted Michael with Thriller 25.  He also paved the way for Michael to continue one of the things he did best.  A large portion of Michael's life consisted of providing great entertainment and original cutting edge music.  If it could be done Michael Jackson did it.  Michael was about to break into a different genre of music and Peter Lopez was setting the stage for this event.

October 2007

• "At last, there’s some real news concerning Michael Jackson and his plans for recording and releasing material. So far, Jackson has no plans for a new album, but his die-hard fans will be happy to hear what else is happening.Jackson is involved in putting together a 25th anniversary edition of his best-selling album, "Thriller." Those with long memories will recall that "Thriller" is considered the biggest-selling pop album of all time, succeeding Carole King’s "Tapestry" and Pink Floyd’s "Dark Side of the Moon" and breaking every record it came near. Jackson’s new music attorney, Peter Lopez, told me on Tuesday that about four of the original "Thriller" tracks are being remixed as "extras" for the CD package. Kanye West, Akon and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas are supposed to be doing that work. The songs are "Billie Jean," "The Girl Is Mine," "Wanna Be Starting Something" and "Pretty Young Thing." In addition, Lopez says that four tracks left off "Thriller" in 1983 will be included. Jackson’s longtime producer Bruce Swedien, who no longer works with the pop star, told me that one track he knows of is a killer. It’s called "Don’t Be Messin’ Around." Swedien doesn’t know any of the other tracks left off the album but said there may be some out there."

"NEW YORK, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Epic/Legacy Recordings proudly celebrates the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's Thriller, the world's biggest-selling album of all time, with a newly expanded deluxe edition of the phenomenal record-breaking pop culture touchstone, available in the U.S. on Tuesday, February 12, 2008.

Thriller 25 Press Release

March 2008

• "Increasingly, Jackson's inner circle is shrinking down to a core group of key advise rs. Mindful of having taken bad advice in the past, he now relies on the select counsel of a handful of eminences grises. One of them is the suave Peter Lopez, a highly-regarded entertainment  lawyer with excellent Hollywood credentials - he is married to Catherine Bach, the actress best known for playing Daisy Duke in the television series Dukes of Hazzard. Lopez confirms that Jackson is in 'continued dialogue' with AEG Live and that there have been a number of 'informal conversations'  with both Fuller and Wall over the course of the past year. 'All of these I would categorise as preliminary, ongoing discussions,' he says, over the phone from his office in Los Angeles. 'Michael is very excited to be moving forward.' Lopez also insists that talk of a financial crisis is 'hogwash'. 'Neverland is not being auctioned off, it's simply that Michael has changed lenders. This talk emerges from several journalists in the US who love to spin things in the most negative way possible. The facts are the facts and he's had some cash flow issues in the past, but it's all under control now.' With the financial situation on a comparatively  stable footing, Jackson has been able to concentrate on recording new songs, many of them executive produced by Will.i.am, Rodney Jerkins and Teddy Riley. According to those who have heard them, the tracks are near pitch-perfect pop songs for a new generation."

Yes, the genre of music which Michael was about to venture into were Spanish recordings.  Michael was always on the top of mountain when it came to being innovative and breaking into different markets.  Michael was loved all over the world.  There's no doubt that his music in any language was of a universal language and it had mass appeal like no other.  Let's face it that's Michael Jackson and entertainment and music was his gift to the entire world.

Michael Jackson Was Planning to Record in Spanish Peter Lopez

• "Michael Jackson, who was crowned in the Millennium edition of the Guinness Book of World Records as the King of Charity, by way of breaking the record for most charities supported by a Pop Star, had plans to record a single in Spanish to benefit yet another charitable organization. Together with Peter Lopez and IMC Records, Inc., Jackson would have embarked on his third venture into the Spanish music world, as he had previously recorded "Todo Mi Amor Eres Tu", the special edition Spanish language version of the hit song "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "Todo Para Ti", the Spanish version of "What More Can I do?" a charity single recorded in response to the 9/11 attacks, which he co-wrote with Ruben Blades featuring music superstars Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias, Justin Timberlake, Jon Secada among many others."

What kind of person was Peter Lopez?

X1:

Well I can't personally vouch for what type of individual Peter Lopez was.  However, I've heard nothing salacious. From what I've been privy to he's was a pretty standup kind of guy.  Here's what his coleagues from his firm which he was a partner of had to say about him:

Peter Lopez Bio 2

I am going to conclude this blog on a powerful note.  Peter Lopez and Tohme R.Tohme crossed paths in some way.  It appears that Michael had two major projects going on at the same time. There was no way for Peter Lopez and Tohme R. Tohme to have technically avoided one another.  They both had tenure for Michael during the same time frame.  It would be illogical to state that they haven't ever crossed paths during the process conducting business for Michael Jackson. I just don't see how that would be possible.  

It appears as if once the deal with AEG was given a green light that all other ventures were terminated as the This It It Tour would have been a long term venture.  Please allow me to reiterate, I believe that Tohme R. Tohme was still involved at this point irregardless to his termination as I've stated prior.  Anything or anyone which got in the way of Tohme R. Tohme and the business affairs of Michael Jackson was terminated in one way or another.  Once again, please allow me to stress that these are substantial sums of money.  Most people would be set for a lifetime with just 5% of Michael's earnings.  They would get to live quite comfortably. 

What is even more peculiar is that Michael also fired Peter Lopez as soon as his deal with AEG was solidified. Did Michael fire Peter Lopez or was that Tohme R. Tohme???  Let's recall he kept Michael away from his advisers!  Tohme R. Tohme took credit for brokering the This Is It deal with AEG for Michael.  Just as well as I've stated prior his name is listed in the credits of the actual movie.

• "The Newshound can now reveal that this was not the case - Jackson really was due to announce the concerts on Thursday 26th February. Sources involved in organizing funding and sponsorship for the concerts say the star is a 'loose cannon' who simply failed to show up in London at the appointed time. Jackson fired lawyer Peter Lopez early in the week that the announcement had been scheduled, leaving organisers unable to contact him and forcing them to scrap their plans. When concert promoters eventually contacted Jackson through his manager, Dr Tohme Tohme of Colony Capital, the press conference was rescheduled for the following week."

Lowley News Hound

• "But the problems that have bedeviled Jackson in the past -- infighting, disorganization and questionable advisors -- persist. In an interview last week, Tohme identified himself as the singer's "manager, spokesman, everything" and spoke about the benefits of dealing with business titans Barrack and Anschutz rather than their "sleazy" predecessors. "Michael Jackson is an institution. He needs to be run like an institution," Tohme said. The next day, however, longtime Jackson associate DiLeo claimed he was Jackson's manager and said Tohme had been fired a month and a half earlier. Tohme denied being fired but declined to comment further. In April, Jackson fired the accounting firm Cannon & Co., which had worked for him for a year, according to an accountant who worked on his finances. In his corner office high above Century City, Barrack is sanguine about reports of disharmony. "You have the same thousand parasites that start to float back in and take advantage of the situation and that has happened a little at the edges." But, he added, he had confidence in AEG's ability to keep Jackson focused. The concerts, Phillips acknowledged, are a do-or-die moment for Jackson. "If it doesn't happen, it would be a major problem for him career-wise in a way that it hasn't been in the past," he said."

LA Times

• "I don’t know if Barrack ever called his ‘old friend’ Philip Anschutz about Jackson. But the truth is: AEG Live’s Randy Phillips tried to get Jackson to agree to perform at the O2 Arena in London as early as December 2007, when I reported it. That was at least a year before Colony and Barrack had anything to do with Jackson. Barrack makes it sound like Jackson was living in a hovel in Las Vegas when he arrived and ‘saved’ him. Jackson was living in an expensive rental home at the time. He could have moved at any time back to Neverland, or to his parents’ home in Encino, if he didn’t like it. The L.A. Times reporters obviously have done no research about Jackson’s newly former manager, Tohme Tohme. He is not a doctor. There is no record anywhere of him having been one. He told me directly that he is not ‘currently’ a licensed physician. The L.A. Times reporters deftly stepped around Tohme’s assertion, on his website, that he’s an ambassador at large to the country of Senegal. The Senegalese U.S. embassy said to this reporter that they have no knowledge of him whatsoever. There’s more about Tohme: Jackson blames him for the Julien’s Auctions debacle of this past winter, in which all of the Neverland possessions including its front gates were going to be sold to strangers. In the end, Jackson and Tohme were going to lose a court case with Julien’s. Tohme came in with enough money at the 11th hour to stop the auction. But where he got the money remains a mystery, and who now has the key to the storage spaces is also up in the air. Colony Capital’s interest in Jackson remains solely about Neverland, and the money they’ve paid to finance it. They hold the note. That’s it. They have simply nothing to do with Jackson’s concerts in London. In 2008, when Fortress called the note on Neverland, it was almost sold at auction. Colony Capital stepped in at that time. They advanced Jackson several million dollars at the time as part of the refinancing. The L.A. Times reporters seem to think that John Branca helped Michael to buy a 50% stake in the Beatles catalog. In fact: Branca and Jackson bought ATV Music, which contained the Beatles catalog. They merged it with Sony’s music publishing division a few years later because Jackson needed cash. The new deal gave him $90 million and a half-ownership in the new entity, called Sony ATV Music Publishing. Jackson now has loans nearing $400 million secured by his position in that company. What the L.A. Times doesn’t seem to get: Jackson currently has no official manager or entertainment lawyer. Tohme has been cut off from access to the pop star. Also apparently out is Peter Lopez, the lawyer who did deals for Jackson for the last year. Arfaq Hussain, who the article notes was jailed for four months, is simply assisting the production in London. Jackson, as of now, still has no home rented for his stay. Nothing has met with his approval."

Conclusion

X1:

 

Upon further observation it is even safe to say that they were the formidable opponents of one another.  I don't think Peter Lopez was involved in anything more but strategic legal wrangling. On the other hand we had an enforcer running around crazed issuing death threats to people in a wild frenzy and in the most deranged way.  All of this would've occurred mind you right around this time if the deals they were both working on clashed.  These are millions of dollars we are discussing here.  We all know what people are willing to do when it comes to money. I am quite sure John Branca wasn't the only attorney which had to end a business relationship with Michael because of the advisers which surrounded him...
