These guys, National Photo Group, are everywhere.

-These are the same guys that took the last picture of MJ in the ambulance. The one who took that pic were Ben, a self-claimed friend of MJ.

- These guys also took the pictures of Murray when he came out from the hotel with his lawyers. I belive it was the first picture of him since MJ passed... Murray was gone and then all of sudden.. the first public picture of him is taken by these guys.

- And now, once again, they have captured Murray visiting Forest Lawn.

Is someone just tipping them off of his whereabouts.. or is this a done deal?


I just think this is very interesting.. especially after Dangerous_Incorporates thread of the original pic used as the ambulance pic.
 
Who did the official photos for MJs memorial?
 
I find it interesting that there are no pap pics of Murray anywhere around since the 25 June. You would think the paps would be stalking Michael Jackson's killer even at work. But there is nothing.

Then suddenly when Murray goes to MJ's tomb, ET, The Insider and NPG are there? That visit to Michael's tomb was a complete set up to sway public opinion of Murray before he goes to court. They were all tipped off.

Why they chose NPG is highly suspicious though. Of course NPG are going to agree as it = another payday for them.

And what interested party would have influence in the media? Or trying to push Murray's agenda? And this push by Murray and his attorneys to surrender to authorities? Maybe the same people who are probably paying for Murray's defense. Possible suggestions---AEG???

WENN and AP have copyrights to the memorial.

Im not sure about the burial/funeral though.
 
From FUneral - AFP? (Agence France Presse) :unsure:+

BUT mostly: Harrison Funk/The Jackson Family
 
NPG is used for MANY MANY staged pics. I've noticed they have gotten been of Heidi and Spencer, as well as some of the Nicole Richie/Paris Hilton staged moments. So more than likely SOMEONE paid them.

Thank you for this info. If this agency has been involved in staged pics before, then that is even more reason to discredit their MJ ambulance pic.

I think I read Getty images was behind the memorial.. would there be more than one photo company there? Im not sure how it works..?

I think many papz are freelance, just go to a lot of companies with the pictures and then someone bids on them. Then there are people like X17, Radar, TMZ who hire their photogs and they company owns them. There was a show a while ago where they would film stuff for news channels and would have footage go to the highest bidder. I'm thinking it's kind of like that. I forgot the name of the show though.

Well that is a bit telling I would say!
Can you imagine the money these losers make for FAKING news?

The public needs to wise up! Why give money for trash?
These a-holes couldn't make money that way if people would wise up and stop spending money on it.

How convenient for Murray that they "just happened to show up" when he was posing at Forest Lawn! Good Grief!
 
I,ve read on some site (forgive me for such unclear info ;) ) that it is often made that in case of a famous person there are two ambulances in place, one "real" and another one for the paps so to mistaken them. It's done in order to safeguard the real ambulance and the person in it.

However, the paramedics didn't know in advance it was Michael, cause they were not told in the 911 call.

Paparazzi Ethics 101

This Vanity Fair article on the paparazzi team who got the final shot of Michael Jackson as he was dying (already dead?) in an ambulance gives quite a peek at what goes on in the minds of people who stalk celebs for a living. On the one hand, the piece is interesting in that it reveals something about the elusive singer's relationship with his most devoted fans -- mostly young, European women who, according to Ben Evenstad, co-founder of National Photo Group, "... would follow him all over the world. If he went to Ireland, France, Bahrain, Neverland, they were there. The same individuals. Nobody else had what he had."

But it also reveals something of the mindset it takes to stalk celebrities for a living. Chris Weiss, who snagged the "money shot" of Jackson in the ambulance, talks in the interview about how when he was pressing his camera lens against the ambulance window as it pulled up to UCLA Medical Center, frantically snapping without knowing what was actually going on inside, Jackson's bodyguards were practically begging him to stop: "Weiss saw a look on the guards’ faces that made him believe something was really wrong: “They were being aggressive, but it was remorseful aggressiveness. ‘Please guys, please just stop.’ They kept saying ‘please.’”"

And yet, despite knowing that something serious and personally devastating to Jackson's family -- especially his young children -- was obviously going on, that this was more than Jackson's typical medical histrionics, he kept snapping away. And when National realized that Weiss had gotten a clear shot of Jackson with an oxygen mask covering his face while an EMT worked on him -- either the last shot of Jackson alive, or the first of him dead -- they quickly sold it to the highest bidder, OK! magazine.

What's interesting to me about this piece is the ambivalence with which these guys talk about taking and selling this picture. There seems to be very little remorse there over the ethics of the picture itself or what they do for a living, and their regret around Jackson actually dying seems to be more about them and how they no longer have him as interesting prey to stalk than anything else. Here's my favorite quote from the piece: "“This is what hit me halfway through the night: What do I do now? Chase ****** Zac Efron around?,” Evenstad asks. “What is the point?”

What's the point, indeed?

IMO

This is yet another "independent" front for the octopus that is the Media
(all "Major" CNN, CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC/GCN/Disney, Universal, Time/Warner, SONY, AEG,Viacom etc.. and the "public" opinion polls, etc.) Entertainment Cartel (Hollywood, Movies, Music, Radio and sports)owns the Paparazzi, they are controlled 100 percent. They also spy on every celebrity.

Michael Jackson was probably the most single person in Hollywood under their surveillance 24/7. They give Murray a pass and good publicity, because that is what they are told to do. Also this is the only things that will be published. Just as The Naudet brothers, "Gamma" and the other "Amatuers" beat the networks on the sham "terrorist" event called 9/11; this is done for future deniability.

http://www.septemberclues.info/
(For more info on the Media central role in 9/11 see September Clues)

Remember how the Media(which included nearly every media outlet on the planet told us Michael Jackson's supposed debts(exaggerated) and even his bills and living expenses??? Yet never told us (examples) Madonna's, Paul Mccartney's nor Bono's (Paul David Hewson) debts, expenses, etc..????

What was the reason and purpse for this?

This is control. This is how someone can be singled out and media lynched for nearly 20 years. Note how now they all "love" Michael and his children. Notice how every awards show "honors" him now. Notice how Sony promotes him 100% now. This is now their new marching order.
It is an inside joke and a game to manipulate the "sheep", be it love, hate then love again; "because we say so."

No different with TMZ (tabloid) having all the firsts about his "sudden death" and now everything Michael Jackson; Yet It was MJ himself who said over and over again "Do not read the tabloids, It's garbage; they lie about me!" So guess who has all the details now? Another inside joke; even this board that once banned people who posted RF articles and tabs
as "news" now follow their "leads" because this is now purposely the major sources now quoted by every other major media.

Like I said before it is a game, it is CONtrol.

For a guy who is about to go to court on manslaughter charges, he seems very relaxed. He doesnt even seem to be afraid of running into a crazy or over emotional MJ fan!

And yes I notcied NPG were there for Murray going back to work too!
