So now we still have Ms. Firouzeh Khan promoting her "book," "Michael Jackson Truth and Confessions." And we still have the same two or three dozen people enthusiastically supporting it and retweeting it... plus a few new names have joined in. Maybe having whittled down @LAMJ_SNARL's active supporters to a mere handful is a good accomplishment (shared by many)... but perhaps those new names are worth trying to reach.

So I will repeat some information. First, my previous notes about this are here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rmhp9t And there, I detail how it was that "Snarl" (still known to many of us as "AMSI" aka "mjviva"), who has been posing on Twitter as the actual Michael Jackson since about July, 2011, morphed into Ms. Khan, aka @MJMANDATORY. A few months back, Snarl announced he was saying goodbye, but leaving a gift -- a book in five parts -- and along came Ms. Khan, "the author." Snarl's supporters quickly gathered around this new account and excitedly consumed the first chapter she presented... and put forth great efforts to help promote it and offer it their highest reviews on Amazon (where it exists as a digital download for $5.00).

Had any of these supporters ever heard of Ms. Khan before? Many of them fancy themselves "hoax death investigators," who seek clues to support the idea that Michael Jackson actually still survives. Now, did any of them do ANY kind of investigating into this new name they'd never heard of before? Apparently not. Did they care that "Snarl" never mentioned Ms.Khan's name, or that she likewise never tipped her hat to Snarl? Nope, this didn't bother then. And -- does it bother any of them that Ms. Khan describes in her book, Michael Jackson's death, and his subsequent ghostly visit to her, talking about his death? Why, no... it doesn't bother them at all! Even though it seems most all of them have insisted for the last several years that Michael is still alive.

Ah, but the "book" is not finished yet, is it? So they can appreciate the thoughts Ms. Khan shares "straight from the source," i.e., Michael's soul -- who chose her, a complete stranger who describes relative indifference to the performer (yet seems to know so much about him as she interviews him anyway) -- to share his secrets and confessions with. (I'd be very interested to know about that selection process; how he vetted her!) And then the readers can momentarily set aside the slight concern that this book's main character is deceased, dead as a doornail, he's crossed over, he's followed the light, he's taken a permanent vacation, shuffled off the mortal coil, taking the great nap, he's learning the harp, he's used his one-way ticket, he's succumbed, perished, passed, extinct, defunct, departed, expired; he is living-impaired, he has ceased to be. Because this audience has more chapters to look forward to, so hopefully -- this state of being could feasibly change!

I don't really know how this could happen, offhand? Any chance at resuscitation becomes less and less viable the longer a person is dead, and four years is generally accepted as being far beyond our technology (especially since it's said his brain was removed and, ugh, sliced up for the autopsy). So how will this book end -- with Zombie Michael? (Well, we do have that image in our heads due to "Thriller" don't we?) OR -- maybe the thing will end with Firouzeh valiantly offering her own bodily housing for him to exist in; maybe his spectral essence will just ooze into her ear or nostril or... throat? (We do recall "Snarl" often talking about having MJ in his belly, don't we? Well... Hmmm!)

It is simply astonishing to think about how many things this audience has come to just accept from this person. First, they accepted "him" as Michael Jackson, on Twitter, without much doubt, because they liked what he had to tell them -- no one who ever knew Michael endorsed this person; no photos or proof of any kind was ever offered nor even insisted upon; and the account was even suspended as an impostor at the request of the Michael Jackson estate. Their acceptance was based ONLY upon the fact that they LIKED WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. Never mind how this acceptance might irritate legions of MJ fans who KNOW this is utterly impossible; never mind how this makes a mockery out of Michael himself -- and how these gullible fans would even ALLOW someone to steal his identity without asking for a MINIMUM of proof?

So these ardent supporters have willingly allowed themselves to be brainwashed by this person. Early on, after simply accepting him, they accepted him relating that MJ never had vitiligo, despite MJ himself telling the world on Oprah's show that he DID have vitiligo. They accepted this stranger telling them that MJ lied to millions of fans? Then they accepted this person repeated often, every year, his assurance that he would absolutely return that year, and they accepted it when he didn't live up to his promise. (Because they also accept Michael Jackson as someone who doesn't keep his promises?) And they've accepted so many more things this person said -- that he never married Debbie Rowe (nor loved her) and various statements he's made to disown his own children; specifically naming three men who supposedly "really" fathered them -- in the context that they would have no claim on his estate. He went on to accuse them, and MJ's mother, as being greedy, fame-hungry, money-hungry scoundrels.

These are all things that Snarl's supporters have accepted as truth. Because some person on Twitter said so. Despite there being every reason in the world NOT to believe him!

That's why this can only be described as "brainwashing." Brainwashing happens when one allows his trust to be given to someone, and they willingly accept what that person tells them without question. It happens when the person who has asked for that trust, takes advantage of it. It happens when that person starts off with one thing that's hard to believe, but they coax you through it until you accept it, and then they offer another thing that's hard to believe -- and by then, you've gotten used to making allowances; you've gotten used to making excuses for this person; you've gotten used to defending their truth to yourself and to others.

It's a gradual process, which we've had a ringside seat to witness from mjviva/AMSI/Snarl over the past two plus years! Every time he saw that his followers accepted each new tidbit, he offered another one. And another one. Through this process, some followers fell away once they decided they just couldn't believe it any more -- until only the most gullible ones were left; the ones who were willing to believe ANYTHING!

Isnt' that very much like how lies were spread about Michael Jackson throughout his life? Some would believe them; they'd carry it forward and get others to believe them. Now we have these lies being presented in a "book" for sale to the public, with an enthusiastic support base, poised to find even more people to find who will believe it.

The presentation of this book is very manipulative. Presented as "fiction but truth," someone may sample it and be drawn into the idea of the narrative of this author unquestioningly receiving information from the actual soul of Michael Jackson. Presented as fantasy, you don't need to really question its basis in reality. But, you fall into the thought process of "What would I ask Michael Jackson myself, if I were her?" You become interested in the approach the narrator takes in playing cat-and-mouse with "the ghost." You maybe even admire her ability to get him to reveal things to her; things which he seems reluctant to talk about. At that point -- you might just be willing to actually accept the information being presented.

That's how manipulation works. Getting someone to accept a falsehood as truth, and then building upon that. The tabloids' approach was something like, "Remember how Wacko Jacko wanted to buy the Elephant Man's bones? Well, look what he's up to NOW!" The audience isn't ASKED to accept the premise -- they're really FORCED to accept it by that approach. "Elephant Man's bones" is presented as FACT.

Are these fans to be excused for their gullibility? For falling for this person's lies? If it was just a matter of "belief," that's one thing -- anyone can believe whatever he or she wants to, can't they? But, no. There becomes a social responsibility when you start taking that belief and loading it onto other people. A victim becomes a victimizer. Snarl's followers became "accomplices" the moment they began telling other people about him. The moment they showed public support. The moment they created a blog to support him; the moment they wrote a review on Amazon telling what a wonderful book this is and how it really describes Michael Jackson's "truth"!

And it can be harmful. It's not just harmful in terms of mocking MJ's actual life and truth -- it's harmful in that it also promotes harmful ideas. Such as, Snarl speaking out against MJ's family; how some members had framed him for the molestation charges in 1993. Snarl speaking out against MJ's own mother and children. Most Michael Jackson fans, who believe the man did pass away, know what a loss that was to his family, his mother, his children, his friends, his fans.

They know what a loss that is, even to people who might be indifferent or might have never known of him at all -- because his philanthropic reach went beyond the reach of "those who knew him." All of these people deserve some form of justice. A careless, greedy, fame-hogging buffoonish idiot was responsible for his death -- remember the words "criminally negligent" -- it wasn't just a "mistake." Then the matter of how many other careless, greedy, buffoonish idiots were ALSO responsible in some way, became an issue.

And we got to see this played out recently. Even if they weren't held legally liable for his death -- we got to see how many elements came together due to people being interested in making money from Michael Jackson, while caring very little about his strength or health. They kept pushing him into that situation; bringing so much pressure onto a man who had reached the age of 50, who hadn't performed live in years, who had too much to prove again... and who found he couldn't sleep. They ignored every sign that "maybe there's something wrong," if he was missing rehearsals and needing a doctor to be with him all the time! Did ANYONE suggest that hey, maybe we need to reduce that pressure, maybe there should be fewer concerts... maybe we should WAIT and help him get ready for this? It doesn't seem there was such a person within that entire mess.

Because those people didn't care about the man's well-being, we lost him. Michael Jackson, the man who had become a hero to so many -- had no hero for him in any of that. He lost his life. His children lost their father. His family lost their brother; their son. His friends lost their friend. His fans lost the man they believed in and looked up to, who probably motivated them to make their own lives better in some way. And, countless suffering people, so many of whom had been helped by him whether or not they were fans, lost their champion... and the money he would have continued earning that he would have kept giving to help them.

You KNOW if anyone was Michael's biggest champion, it was his mother and his children. If that trial had any reason at all for happening, it was to get justice primarly for his children and his mother. Jackasses like "Snarl" brayed about how the trial was to benefit the "greedy Jacksons," but if you read the document, you see that only Katherine, Prince, Paris and Blanket were to be the beneficiaries of any award. Supporters of the "greedy Jacksons" idea pointed to unsourced articles which portrayed the other Jacksons as rubbing their hands together, drooling at the idea of new money so they could buy cars and whatnot. But, THEY WERE NOT NAMED IN THE LAWSUIT. His estate would not have even gotten any of that award -- it would all have been managed by his mother and his children.

You KNOW Michael Jackson instilled many values in his children, who loved him beyond question. One hope we might have is that they will continue his philanthropic support for people in need. We should believe that they will. If Katherine decided to give any of her portion of that award to other family members, well, IT'S HER OWN DAMNED BUSINESS, isn't it? The point is -- she is his specifically named heir, he GAVE her that trust to do what she thought was right; he even gave her that trust to do whatever she wished. If she gave a few bucks to Tito or Randy or anyone else... she has the full right to do so. Anyone who doesn't like that idea doesn't have to, but their opinion doesn't count, does it!

So my point here is this: If you have someone purporting to BE Michael Jackson calling his mother and children greedy fame-whores... gee, is that a bad thing at all? Of COURSE it is. Given the acceptance of this person AS Michael Jackson, this is basically a call to arms! He's practically begging someone to DO something about it! If he says he's Michael Jackson and he claims his brothers and father framed him in 1993, is this a harmless opinion? NO! He's trying to rally people to take some sort of action against it! Otherwise, why would "Michael Jackson" be PUBLICLY complaining about it? And if he says President Obama is a "satanic agent" and was responsible for murdering children in Gaza through some responsibility he might hold for the war tearing apart that region... for God's sake, this is someone who some people accept AS "Michael Jackson" saying this... is that HARMLESS?

This person has tried VERY hard to continue presenting this fraud, that he/she IS Michael Jackson. They have worked forcefully and consistently for over two years to manipulate people into believing it. If this was ever "just a game" to that person, it passed that status long ago and became a mission. Why would someone have such a mission?

Is it to "tell the truth about Michael Jackson"? Damned sure it's NOT! How does THIS PERSON have any right to tell that truth, which by the way, is a far DIFFERENT truth than what Michael Jackson HIMSELF ever presented to the world?

This person has a right to her opinions, but these aren't being presented as opinions, are they? If she thinks, from the same observatory standpoint ALL of us are privy to have, i.e., "the sidelines," she is free to suppose that maybe there was more to MJ's "vitiligo" and maybe there was something more to it. She is free to inspect photos of 16-year-old MJ and suppose that maybe he had a plastic surgery he never spoke about. She is free to question any and everything the man ever said and hold a different opinion about it. She is free to go on internet forums and discuss those things and why she thinks so, and entertain opposing viewpoints. She may even have good points to make about those things by sharing her observations.

But she's not doing that... is she.

And, before just several months ago -- none of you ever heard the name "Firouzeh Khan," yet now, people are just accepting her version of MJ's truth as "real truth" -- because why? Because "SNARL" said she'd be coming along? She is not even man enough, or woman enough, to state clearly her own gender. We know virtually NOTHING about Firouzeh Khan, except what she offers to share, which is... virtually nothing. She has not earned anyone's support for her "ability" to state Michael Jackson's "truth"!

As to the issue of this being "Mr. Khan" or "Ms. Khan," we can't really know, even if she tells us, can we? I suppose even her followers may be accepting this as a "persona" which is "really" SNARL speaking because he must do it this way. Well, ain't that great? But, we do have little hints: First, "Firouzeh" is primarily a feminine Iranian name. In the book she doesn't identify her first name or gender (although she did identify her first name via her Twitter account), but at one point describes waking up with her hair "in a bun." And then we have this: http://twitpic.com/df1gjm -- this is captured from a Google Plus account from November 21, 2012 which contains a poem with a very familiar sound to it -- very similar to several poems posted by AMSI/Snarl along the way. And this person is identified as "female."

That account sat there for most of a year, untouched until I pointed it out. AT THAT TIME it changed to display the name "Rani Rany" instead -- while still containing the name Firouzeh Khan and that poem. And now, if you follow the link, it just says "Rani Rany" with no other information provided. Does no one find this at least a little bit peculiar??

Another thing you'll find attached to that name: A innocent little comment on a site with an article about "What Your Clothes Say About Your Finances" -- which was posted on November 28, 2012 (if you find the original and hover "a year ago," you see the date):

Firouzeh Khan a year ago "My go to outfit: Embroidered shirt, smock or a loose frock over basic color tights & classic embroidered flats or pumps also in basic colours"

Ah! So now we can have a slightly better mental picture of Ms. Khan as she sits hunched over her comuter telling more lies about Michael Jackson.

And it may be relevant that the day before, November 27, was when the "AMSI" account became PERMANENTLY suspended. Interesting timing, isn't it? But, if you met someone named Firouzeh Khan who was wearing a loose frock over basic color tights with pumps, their "go-to outfit," do you think you'd be calling them "Mister Khan"?

In basic "colours"? There's that British influence again -- back along the lines that this is a person of Iranian origin living in Great Britain. This is also where we get the regional spelling of the word "paedophile."

A word which AMSI often used, spelled that way -- and which we see now again as Firouzeh has just proclaimed her book's third segment will be called "Paedophile in Gold Pants."

Whatever her reason for this, be it ironic or "to make a point" or really ANY reason -- does this sound like someone who's really championing MJ? This person is testing the limits of people's patience once again. No matter the reason, there is NOTHING to appreciate about a "book" called "Michael Jackson: Paedophile in Gold Pants."

I've lost my patience for this. We should have ALL lost our patience for this. The people openly supporting this person and this book are likewise reprehensible accomplices in this person's fraud. They have had MANY reasons not to trust this person, and NO GOOD REASON AT ALL to place ANY trust in them, and should realize as responsible adults the harm which they are helping to bring upon Michael Jackson and so many other people. This is a sneaky, manipulative fraud we have here, who serves Michael Jackson, his family, friends, fans, or his legacy, NO GOOD AT ALL. This is a sociopath who cares not at all about the consequences of her actions, who doesn't care who she uses or who she hurts. This is someone who went to a great deal of fraud in order to become "an author." This is someone who deserves to be tarred and feathered and run out of town.

She thinks she has Michael Jackson living inside her head? There are places for people like that, where they won't do any harm to other people.
