You don't know anything about any motives...
In case you were talking to me, I've read about both the hypotheses regarding Michael's death which run contrary to the generally accepted cause of death. They both have interesting points about them, but the hoax death in particular is mainly composed of circumstantial "evidence," such as the airport being closed, etc. These "clues" are coincidence at best, nothing which directly proves anything at all, which is exactly the type of "evidence" which permeates death hoax theories. However, you can believe whatever you want.
As for motives? Michael Jackson lived his entire life surrounded by people with "motives." Do you not think Sneddon, the Arvizos, the Chandlers, and all those scumbags who sought to ruin him had "motives"? Do you not think that, Sony, with their poor advertisement and endorsement of
Invincible had any "motives"?
However, no matter what these "motives" were, I don't think any of them would suffice for him to fake his death and cause the death and grief of fans who mourn him. I cannot see him being anywhere near that selfish, and the entire idea of it runs contrary to anything and everything Michael Jackson stood for. Yes, he was very intelligent, and he was very resourceful, but there would be no reason for him to stage a death and then provide "clues" for his fans to decipher. If he was so concerned about his life being in danger, why on Earth would he leave you [and everyone else, for that matter] clues? Would he not think that those who sought to kill him would be watching for clues, doubting his death, etc? If they didn't kill him themselves, there would be no way for them to know that he was dead, and if they were so hard-set on getting him, do you think they would give up after they saw the news on CNN and not confirm that he was, indeed, dead? Presumably, they're very powerful people if his life is in danger and he needs to stage a fake death to fool them, so wouldn't they have the necessary resources to conduct investigations of their own of these clues you people cite, and eventually attempt to find him?
And, if they could not confirm this, wouldn't they keep looking until they found him? The entire hypothesis [not even a theory--a theory is something with strong evidence supporting it] is devoid of sense, logic, and reason.
There is always reason that can make you DO things you would NEVER DO in other cases!!! Let we not forget this!
You are telling that you know Michael would never ever --- will you swear he would not do this if a gun is next to Paris head? (just simple example) the truth is that we have no idea what was going on in his life in past days, weeks, months.....
Ok, just one question, since you brought up Paris. Do you think that, if his life was in danger like you people are saying, he would leave his three children--the people who mean the most to him--alone [with the Jacksons, no less!] and exposed/public enough for TMZ to publish stories about them and paparazzi to follow them? Do you honestly think that, if there were people who were after him or threatening him, they wouldn't threaten to kill his children to manipulate him into doing what they wanted? Your death hoax hypothesis thing would make a bit more rational sense in the life threatening situation department if Michael had staged some sort of accident--plane crash at sea, for example-- in which he and his kids had "died," as these dangerous people would be after them as much as they would be after Michael. However, no such thing occurred. Do you honestly think Michael would leave his three kids hanging like that if something of that nature was threatening his and his family's safety?
C'mon, it's not like they're in some undisclosed location
a la Dick Cheney. Everybody knows where and with whom they live, if Michael's safety was being threatened, do you think he'd be stupid enough to let his three kids' location/weherabouts/habits [i.e. going to karate class, etc.] be publicly known?
I find it very disturbing that death hoax supporters scrutinize people's grieving to "prove" their hypotheses. Some people deal with grief differently--not everyone looks sad or cries when they're grieving. For example, when a friend of mine's mother died, he continued to function as normal and no one save people who truly knew him/his mannerisms would ever tell that anything was wrong. Does this mean his mother faked her death? No. It just means people grieve differently--leave them alone!
Now that I think of it and I look back on all I've previously read regarding the death hoax hypothesis [a friend of mine was really into it for a while], I'm starting to remember just how disgusted it made me feel, and why I tried my best to alienate myself from the topic.
With that said, I'm out. Believe whatever you want, you'll realize it in time. I won't judge you because I know how difficult it is to accept that he's gone, and I wish you all the best in the process, like I said. Sometimes, when we want things badly enough, we start seeing things where there aren't any. That's all I'll say regarding this matter.
