It tells all the story between this foundation (the woman behind it) and Michael.
- At 2001 she starts to try to contact Michael through his representatives and directly as she believes that she can see the events that's going to happen in the future (after an incident) and Michael would be working with her /partnering with her for Heal the World foundation.
- She appears unannounced and uninvited at Neverland.
- MJ's people warn her about her harassing and threatening behavior towards MJ.
- In 2002-2003 she registers 900 domain names related to MJ and the charity as she thinks that the management was letting go of this critical names.
- In 2003 MJJ productions come to an agreement with her to transfer those domain names to them and they would pay for the associated costs.
- She files for several trademarks including Heal the world, MJ, King of pop, Michael Jackson heal the world foundation etc etc without consent from Michael or his representatives. Majority of them got rejected.
- In her defense against the estate's lawsuit she says they waited too long for this lawsuit and therefore the lawsuit is unreasonable and prejudiced about them. It also says that they were aware of her actions and encouraged and supported that actions.
- However the 2003 agreement between MJJ productions and her say that MJJ productions and Michael did not ask her to do anything - that was her initiative. Therefore it doesn't support the claims that Michael and his representatives were aware or supported her actions.
Here the court order :

Dear HTWF members,
I want to thank you for your unrelenting support throughout the past months. You are amazing people and it is an honor to work with you.
HTWF staff has been through a great deal and we continue to fight for the Charity, the family and what we believe to be the right thing.
This injunction against HTWF is a temporary court order that prohibits us from using Mr. Jackson's image or name on our site.
The Estate Executors tried to get the Charity name and logo's restricted from us as well and the Judge ruled against their request.
What this means is that until we go to trial and can prove that we had and therefore have the right to use Mr. Jackson's image and name, we have to stop using it for now.
However, even though that is a huge problem for a charity, developed for this great man, as the main ingredient, it does not mean we are defeated, it only means we have to abide by the temporary order, until we can get our day in court and prove our case.
We ask that all members, for now, remove any pictures of Mr. Jackson that you have in or on your profile.
Please be aware that it is our strong belief, the Estate Executors have 'mole' members on this site and are monitoring all content and are looking for any evidence they can use against us in our upcoming trial.
In the past, there have been 'mole' members, that have joined the HTWF community, just to smear and create confusion and fear among members.
The member usually spread 'links' of false reports from the media and other sites, calling our validity into question. They did this under several user names to make it look like many people were in agreement that HTWF was a fake.
Then, when they got our members afraid and 'confused' as to our validity, they copied the blog conversations and they appeared in the court papers that helped the Estate get the Injunction against us.
"Confusion" in the public is one of the things needed, by the Estate to forcibly and legally take the charity and its brands.
We expect more of the same, so please be mindful of any member who is here, NOT to serve others, but to create contention and spread fear, confusion and doubt among members.
Please report such individuals to our staff.
Although I believe we are up against evil, those who seek 'wealth power and control and are not afraid to lie, steal and cheat to get it", I am confident, that after this battle ends, HTWF will stand and it will stand strong.
Again, thank you so much for your support, it has meant so much to the staff.
With our gratitude and love,
Melissa Johnson
Seriously, one is worse than the next. You can "support Mr. Jackson's vision of Healing The World" without owning trademarks. Your local shelter will GLADLY accept you voluntarily offering your help without you owning a single Michael Jackson trademark. WTF. I am sick to death from 50000 people playing dog-eat-dog because everyone wants their slice of the cake while claiming to have a charitable vision, justice etc.
Sick of all of this nonsense. I'm by no means a fan of the estate executors, but I am also not a fan of nutjobs that all seem very busy producing "truth" websites, blogs and youtube videos in their personal little WW3. I'm also not a fan of any inheritance chasers.
Call you local domestic violence shelter today, they will be thrilled to have someone to help, no trademarks required whatsoever.
I honestly don't care who's selling tacky belts or other high points of tastelessness. You are not going to take that money with you when you go, trust me. But I guess if you're green with envy than you feel you need a piece of the cake as well.
I'm all for investigating signs of abuse, that's an honorable thing to do- to prevent it from happening again. Just don't tell me you're preventing abuse by chasing trademarks fur umbrellas. There are countless charities that do that kind of work everyday that MJ would be proud of and they all fight for money because they believe in a cause.
To be frank, I don't care who is going to be one owning any of this, it doesn't matter to me if "evil executors" or "poor disowned" family members are raking it in, only the envious ones will care.
You can honor Michael Jackson every single second of the day by making a difference.
Very interesting, thanks for posting, I suspected for sometime this was the kind of thing going on. They placed people on forums and this forum who were working for Branca to discredit HTWF last year sometime after MJ death.
I think it is not ok for any fan to support her. How could it be. She is a fraud and a looney. As fans we have to keep ourselves educated. That is the only way we cannot be easily swayed by people's nonsense and self-importance.
At 2001 she starts to try to contact Michael through his representatives and directly as she believes that she can see the events that's going to happen in the future (after an incident) and Michael would be working with her /partnering with her for Heal the World foundation.

i dont see how anyone could support her..why would we wanna make HER rich.
HTWF will have they day in court and that is when we will find out if they can prove there case.Let me add something here, you can be against the estate and the executors BUT do not support HTWF.
This Melissa Johnson has trademarked Michael's name in everything under the sun including backpacks, car window shields,bed pillows, dog tags, frames, sleeping bags, belt buckles, hair accessories etc. I hope that I made it clear that her trademark registrations are ridiculous and if the estate loses this case she can make and sell everything with Michael Jackson on it and make billions.
so once again it's okay if you're against the executors but be careful of who you are supporting.. Being against the estate/executors shouldn't make it okay to support people who clearly aiming to take advantage of Michael's name for their own monetary benefits.
also : she's known to harass Michael when he was alive. In 2003 she was told to stop registering trademarks and stop harassing Michael.
Michael named th same executors in two wills ! so,fans and family must respect his wish.
HTWF will have they day in court and that is when we will find out if they can prove there case.

What you dont understand is the way we see it, yes the will was updated in 2003 from the 90's , and in 2006 michael fired branca and ask him to return everything , at this time branca was being investigated for offshore accounts and for working against michael for sony (catalogue) why would michael keep the same will and keep branca as excutive when he fired him cause he did not trust him, it dont make much since to us fans and then this will being signed when michael was in new york and it state's it was signed in california. It's to obvious to the people thats paying attention that none of this make any sense.
Branca is named in the will as executor. He's not important that he was fired or not, he had the will in his possession or not. He is named in the will as executor.
if MJ was not happy with him, he would have written an other will or a codicil naming others executors. He had 7 years to do it. Others lawyers worked for him.
Does anyone know what does this document mean?
