Sifting Thru the
Lies, Games & Madness
With intricate games being played by both the
Jackson Family & the MJ Estate and their respective supporters in the media
& the fan community, the line
between the truth and the lies is blurred. As someone who neither blindly supports
the Jacksons nor the MJ Estate but Michael Jackson children,
let’s is look
at this madness from an impartial vantage point, shall we?
Synopsis
When he passed away on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson left behind three minor children. The court appointed his mother Katherine as their guardian.
When he passed away on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson left behind three minor children. The court appointed his mother Katherine as their guardian.
Prompted by a vicious mayhem that involved a
demand by the Jackson
No amount of media storm or police
involvement led Katherine to calling home to assuage her grandchildren’s
concerns. But the loss of $70,000 per month as the children’s stipend did the trick.
Katherine came out of the shadows, swiftly & predictably, when her
guardianship was on the line. HLN’s Jane Velez Mitchell put it the
best: “whoever controls the kids, controls the money.”
Katherine Jackson
Video Statement
(Parody by Jimmy Kimmel Show)
On July 25, 2012—the very day her guardianship was suspended, Katherine released a video statement, expressing the following:
On July 25, 2012—the very day her guardianship was suspended, Katherine released a video statement, expressing the following:
- On kidnapping: There are rumors going around about me that I have been kidnapped and held against my will. My children would never do a thing like that. It's very stupid for people to think that.
- On her disappearance: I needed rest and they wanted to take me away for a short vacation and rest up.
- On why she didn’t call her grandchildren for 10 days: I gave up my phone and I didn't want to have any phone calls.
- On losing guardianship: I am devastated. The ruling in court today was based on a bunch of lies but I have a good idea who's behind this. [she means MJ Estate Executors are behind this]
- On returning home: After I finish this, I will be on my way home.
Katherine’s guardianship reinstated based on lies
On August 2, 2012, Katherine’s attorneys filed a motion to
have her guardianship reinstated. How could the lioness feed the entire Jackson
“It will empower TJ to take joint legal responsibility
for day to day duties such as the management of household personnel. Mrs.
Jackson would remain in control of the children's family allowance.”
By “the children’s family allowance” Perry Sanders means that
the monies that are meant to be spent on Paris
By including Mother [in his Will] he included us. The lioness
takes care of
her cubs. That philosophy has always been understood in our
family.
~JERMAINE JACKSON
In her court filing, her attorneys attached a sworn
declaration by Katherine. She impeached her ABC video statement, now
feigning ignorance. Katherine’s sworn declaration completely contradicts her
video statement. She now claims:
- On her disappearance: She was tricked into leaving
- On why she didn’t call her grandchildren for 10 days: Her cell phone and Ipad was taken away. The landline in her room wasn’t functioning. The TV in her room wasn’t functioning. [I wonder if the kitchen sink was working in this high end Resort. The things that are allegedly not functioning are too convenient.]
Katherine Jackson HAD TO lie in her sworn declaration if she
wanted a shot at getting her guardianship reinstated. A guardian voluntarily
not checking on the children she is legally obligated to guard would have been
grounds for the denial of her reinstatement. Delegating the house staff and TJ
to look after the kids in her absence wouldn’t have helped her because they
are not the legal guardians.
Judge Mitchell Beckloff—the same incompetent judge that
admitted a forged Will as Michael Jackson’s valid and now effective Will—bought
into Katherine’s lies and reinstated her guardianship.
Whose declaration
is this?
Katherine's alleged declaration that was attached to her
guardianship filing seems as if it is a declaration by her lawyers:
Perry Sanders & Sandra Rivera.
Let’s compare the alleged Katherine Jackson declaration to
the statements made by her lawyers in her absence.
“On July 15, 2012, I was scheduled to leave with my
nephew in an RV to attend my sons’ concerts. On July 14, 2012 a doctor was
brought to my home stating that he has been in contact with my longtime
physician and was coming to check on me because my personal physician was
unavailable. The doctor advised that it was better for me to fly and not drive
to New Mexico Paris Paris
“Last weekend
Katherine Jackson was getting ready to leave for a much anticipated road trip
in the RV her son Michael bought for her to watch her sons perform on their
Unity Tour. Prior to her departure, a doctor was brought to her home and
represented that he had been sent from the office of her longtime physician.
Based on this representation, Mrs. Jackson agreed to meet with the doctor who
subsequently ordered her to fly rather than drive to her sons’ concerts. Mrs.
Jackson followed what she believed to be her doctor’s instructions. During what
was to be a brief trip, Mrs. Jackson left her son Michael’s children, of whom
she is guardian, in the care of her adult grandsons.”
~SANDRA RIBERA
“She did tell them who was going to care for them -- the
same person that always cares for them. TJ, the exact same people involved are
the people that normally take care of the kids. “~PERRY SANDERS
“My [cell] phone was taken away. The telephone [landline] in my room was not functioning. In addition, there
was no picture on the television in my room. Despite repeated requests, the
television was never fixed.”
~KATHERINE JACKSON DECLARATION
“Perry went to the spa where Katherine was staying and was
still unable to meet with Katherine in person. However, he did talk to Jermaine and Janet Jackson who
were also there. The attorney explained the lack of communication has been very
confusing and cause for concern. Katherine had no phone in her room, and there
is no cell service at the resort.” ~ A SOUCE [PERRY SANDERS]
“I was never informed that Prince, Paris
I
was never told that my attorney Perry Sanders had flown to Tucson
"The mere fact is that she was unaware that there was
chaos outside her quiet spa surroundings until she arrived back home.”
~PERRY SANDERS
The parallel flow in the account of events and the mention
of insignificant details (RV, the doctor etc) in both Katherine’s declaration and
the statements made by her attorneys in her absence shows that Katherine’s
declaration is in fact her attorneys’ declaration. Especially in light of the fact that the declaration is contradictory to Katherine's video statement.
Katherine Jackson
is NOT Innocent
Note that
Katherine Jackson is as much a culprit in this mess as her
money-chasing children. When things didn’t turn out as planned, she now feigns innocence.
” … neither I nor my siblings ever led a normal existence,
not even as small children, years before celebrity transformed our lives. We
were a dysfunctional family. Yes, there was love and happiness, but it was
poisoned by emotional and physical abuse, duplicity, and denial. Thinking back
over all those years, I realized that Mother was the guiding force behind the
cruelty and abuse. This lady who pretended to be so gentle on the surface had
in fact caused all the turmoil in our lives. She was always throwing the rock
and hiding her hand, convincing everyone that she was sweet, kindhearted, and
compassionate.” ~LATOYA JACKSON
This isn't the first time Katherine lied in a declaration
In April 2011, Katherine signed a declaration, bashing John Branca. She declared “Michael told me on more than one occasion that he did not like this man and did not trust him. He told me that John had stolen from him." (source)
When it became apparent to her that her move
wasn’t a smart move, considering John Branca cuts her check, she immediately
back paddled. Katherine lied saying that she did NOT sign the declaration and that her signature was forged. Trent Jackson, Katherine’s nephew and business advisor essentially called her a liar, stating that he witnessed her sign the declaration. (source)
To repair the damage she caused in her relationship with MJ Estate Executors, Katherine hired Perry Sanders. (source)

Katherine's Rocky Relationship with MJ Estate
In 2009, Katherine indeed objected to the validity of the
alleged Michael Jackson Will. She made it clear that she would pursue legal
action to contest the alleged Will filed by John Branca. Then she was
discouraged because of the non-contest clause in the Will. As per the clause,
if she contested the Will in court but lost her case, she would lose all her
benefits. But the judge made an exception for Katherine. He ruled that
Katherine CAN contest the Will and if she lost her case, she would NOT lose her
benefit. Despite of this golden opportunity, to her children’s and husband’s
dismay, Katherine decided NOT to contest the Will. Whilst the reasons for her
decision isn’t clear to anyone but her, one can only surmise that John Branca
paying off the mortgage of her Encino home (she was facing foreclosure), paying
off her Segye Times debt (which had been dragging for decades), handing out
“loans” to her with no question could be her incentives.
In the last 3 years, Katherine Jackson's relationship with the Executors of her son’s Estate has been rather complicated. She
appears to want to be in the good graces of the executors considering they hold
the purse strings but she constantly rocks the boat when doing the bidding
of her business partners and her children.
Katherine seemed to go whichever direction she is pulled at
a given moment. She praises the Estate Executors, endorses the Estate business
deals and participates in events, sitting next to John Branca. But she
continuously engages in partnership with business people who illegally exploits
the Estate’s property—Michael Jackson name and likeness. Katherine has
publically supported people that the Estate is litigating and at times, she has
bashed the Executors to do so.
For whom does
Perry Sanders work for?
The Jackson
“For some strange reasons, her advisors, Lowell
Henry, Perry Sanders and Trent, although in agreement with her regarding the
validity of the Will, are telling her to disregard what she knows as fact. Her
so-called advisors are convincing her to let them negotiate deals with Branca
and McClain on her behalf. Her advisors’ loyalty seems to be skewed by the
percentage you offer them.”
~Jackson
Are they justified in their concern about
Perry Sanders?
Immediately after Trent
Perry Sander’s media statements were
anti-Jacksons and pro-Estate. He obviously didn’t support the siblings’ letter which
demanded the Executors to resign and accused him of being a John Branca cohort.
Mr. Sanders stated that the Will was valid, the siblings had no legal standing
to contest the Will and the Executors are doing a great job.
There are two reasons Perry Sanders makes
pro-Estate statements:
1- He gets paid by the Estate
2- Contrary to the claim in the Jackson
What is puzzling is that the Jackson Jackson Jacksons Jackson
It IS about the
Money!
At this point, noone but Katherine knows what truly happened
in her 10 day absence. But because she is extremely protective of her children
and also because of the Jackson Family code of silence, we will never know the truth.
What we do know is that all the parties involved in this feud—be it the MJ
Estate Executors & those in Katherine’s camp doing their bidding or be it
the Jackson siblings—everyone is motivated by either gaining control of
Michael’s money or maintaining the control of Michael’s money.
Don’t you, for one second, believe that this is about the welfare
of Michael’s children—as you will often hear them profess. If they cared about Michael’s children, why contest a Will that leaves
everything to the children? Because the Will excludes the siblings. And if
they can invalidate John Branca for fraud, his executorship for 2002 Will as
well as his executership for the 1997 Will will be invalidated. Which means,
Michael will be declared intestate (died without a Will), which means Katherine
loses all her benefits and everything goes to the children but because the
children are minors, the Jacksons
When Michael died, his Estate was $500 million in debt. There was no money. Say what you will about John Branca but he is THE BEST in his field. He inherited an Estate in debt and turned it into a gold pot. It is no coincidence that the
The Only Victims in
This Mess
Michael Jackson children didn’t just inherit their father’s money.
They also inherited his lifetime role as the Jackson Family cashcow. Both the
Jackson Family, including Katherine, and the Estate Executors and their
respective agents are playing power games and spewing lies with no regard to
the trauma they are causing Michael’s children.
The only victims of this mess are Paris, Prince and Blanket
Jackson. Despite of their empty words, no one cares about the wellbeing of the
children. They are merely pawns, used by both the Family & the Estate plants in Katherine's home.
“Whoever controls the
children, controls the money.”
