Purple Rain Comes Like a Dove, Whispering 2 the Evil Doers "Your Kingdom Has Run It's Course"

Tommy Mottola, Randy Phillips, Martin Bandier, his daughter Jennifer, Charles Koppelman and Howard Weitzman have employed a great number of people to try and terrorize me and ultimately take my life.  Their actions clearly demonstrate their guilt for killing and torturing our musical artists.  These evil people and those like them, willing to accept payment to belittle and beguile others, should be avoided like the plague.

Their trademarks, products, catalogs of music and commitment to their own selfish wants have led them down a very destructive path.  They now believe they can overcome God Himself.

My Father's Kingdom is coming and when it does they will no longer be able to employ or pay for anyone to save them.  You can not buy your way out of hell, but go ahead.

They have come to my home seeking vengeance on me for what they have done themselves.  They wanted to show their power, their control and might.  Now they will see my Father's and the power of one.  They have given the artists that they have killed a great gift.  They are now eternal beings of light and join with us. 

We are ONE family under God, the almighty, designed and destined to defeat the enemy of God.  They have trespassed on grounds they have no right to be on.  Their words, their actions, their slaughters and villainous activity are repulsive and dishonorable.  They will be taken by the hand of my Father, the one who gave them life.  They have mistreated, misjudged and have forsaken His commandments and have lied, manipulated, killed, tortured and trodden on His people.  They will be destroyed by a wave of His hand.  His might and power is far more than their worth or their eagerness to kill.

They have shown no repentance for what they have done and will be brought down in the manner and way they have brought down others.  Their deeds are not taken lightly, as their minds are full of greed, lust and repulsion.

This day marks the anniversary of the one who came in the flesh to besiege the beguiled ones.  They are now one with his family and have chosen to partake of his fruits.  Their war is not with God, it has and will be with themselves.  They are their own worst enemy.  Eliciting behaviors that mock God and His servants.  Dragging His chosen few through the mud with their words and actions.

May they not faulter any longer in their whims.  The path they have chosen will lead them to their destruction.

This is the word of God my Father, the true and everlasting light who has come before me in order to establish His Kingdom on earth.  They have now been warned.

For every soul they have tortured, every life they have taken and every song they have stolen, we will count the days.  The deeds that have been hidden in the darkness will now come to light.  Those that elicit the activities of these fallen ones will follow in their demise.  Repent not - be not.

These are 50 ways in which these evil doers have tried to hide the deeds related to the murders and thefts that they have committed:


  1. 4/21/04 The Santa Barbara Superior Court and thousands of news channels around the world not only made public the ten counts against Michael Jackson, the artist, including conspiracy , lewd acts upon a child and a felony that included giving a minor alcohol, but created a "scandal" in the eyes of the public.  Damaging Mr. Jackson's reputation as an artist and a person.  The 212 pages of disputes filed by Jackson's attorney were kept "under seal" until the case was closed and Jackson was found "not guilty" on all counts.  
  2. 6/29/04 Jackson defense attorneys filed a Notice of Motion and Motion to set aside indictment: 212 Pages including, but not limited to DA Sneddon leading the witness, leading the grand jury and bullying and improper questioning.  Notice was filed UNDER SEAL on July 9, 2004 with all the details of why the charges were not relevant.  It was unsealed on 6/16/2005 after Jackson was found not guilty on all counts.
  3. 6/15/05 The 1993 civil settlement made with Jackson's first child accuser was made by his insurance company over protests from Mr. Jackson himself.  The news did not make this information made public and allowed Mr. Jackson to be made to look as if he was guilty without a trial.
  4. 7/6/09 The AP news reported Howard Weitzman made a statement that the court had entered the fraudulent will for Mr. Jackson into probate. The judge extended the letters of special administration for John Branca and John McClain. Family allowance for Mrs Jackson and the children was granted. The request from the special administrators for Columbia, AEG and Bravado for Mrs Jackson to sign a confidentiality agreement so that they could get her and her attorney's contracts that would bring millions of dollars of revenue to Michael Jackson's estate was ORDERED by the court - That is the court ordered them to agree to the confidentiality of those contracts. So the court could then approve those deals through a ruling which again would bring substantial revenues to the Estate.
  5. 7/7/09 Michael Jackson's Memorial service was organized by AEG Live, and AEG Ehrlich Ventures, LLC (Randy Phillips) The city of Los Angeles said the memorial had cost the city $1.4 million for 1,400 police officers, trash pick-up, sanitation, and traffic control. The city set up a webpage asking fans for donations to help with the expenses, though it kept crashing. City Attorney Carmen Trutanich said it would be wrong to expect taxpayers to finance a private event. "The city attorney does not want something like this happening again, the city paying for a private event," spokesman John Franklin told CNN. "That's especially in a cash-strapped city, where people have been furloughed or even lost jobs." This event was not "private" it was "public" - AEG Ehrlich Ventures, LLC  went on to sell DVDs of the "memorial" 
  6. 7/29/09 FOUR days after Michael Jackson's death, the press reported that Jordan Chandler, the boy accusing Jackson of child molestation, had admitted he lied about Michael Jackson for the money.
  7. 9/16/09 Ken Ehrlich and Randy Phillips of AEG began selling copies of the memorial service held for Jackson on Amazon.com

  9. 2/8/10 The arrest warrant for Dr. Conrad Murray was issued stating that Dr. Conrad Murray killed Michael Jackson without malice (manslaughter) 
  10. 9/22/10 The Michael Jackson Estate filed a motion to put the management reports of the Estate "under seal" as well as their "compensation" stating there exists unfair disclosure of "trade secrets and proprietary information"
  11. 8/30/11 The Estate of Michael Jackson filed a motion to quash depositions on behalf of AEG in regards to the Lloyds of London case - The insurers for the "This is It" concert
  12. 8/31/11 District Attorney Steven Cooley filed an amici curiae concealing records from the LA fire department, the LA County CORONER's department and the Lloyds of London insurance suit - all relevant to the "homicide" investigation for Jackson - "UNTIL the criminal case for Conrad Murray was COMPLETE" -  Who ever heard of a murder trial that doesn't include the "Coroner's" findings? Failure to disclose evidence is a permanent prejudice against the both parties in a fair criminal trial  Bill AB 1989 5.  Jail Felony for Intentionally and in Bad Faith Altering,  Modifying or Withholding Physical Evidence ; This bill would make it a jail felony for a prosecuting attorney to intentionally and in bad faith alter, modify or withhold any physical matter, digital image, video recording, or relevant exculpatory material or information, knowing that it is relevant and material to the outcome of the case with the specific intent  that the material or information will be concealed or destroyed or fraudulently represented 
  13. 9/27/11 The Conrad Murray trial was televised nationally and available via streaming over the internet; including the "charts" the prosecutors made to represent fictitious phone records and the prosecuting attorney David Walgren parading the slit IV bag around in front of the jury unsealing a bottle of propofol that was in evidence and placing it inside of the bag.
  14. 9/27/11 The Wall Street Journal produced an article regarding the Conrad Murray trial.  The Judge (Pastor) was quoted in the article referring to a "Propofol drip" and that seats for 32 media outlets were saved in the courtroom.

  21. 3/18/13 Katherine Jackson's attorney's Panish, Boyle & Shea filed an opposition to an emergency request for deposing Paris Jackson at the defense counsel for AEG's offices after repeated statements that the deposition should be held at the court where intercessions could take place, since the depositions for Prince Jackson upset him greatly.  The motion included emails from Jessica Stebbins on the defense counsel team who seemed unmoved that these were children, repeatedly threatening to bring the youngest Jackson in for deposing when he was only six years old at the time his father died.  Three major news outlets were noted in the emails regarding AEG and their relation to them and harassing Paris in the press: TMZ, Roger Friedman and RadarOnline.com 
  22. 3/22/13 Request for media coverage of the AEG trial was filed by firm Davis Wright Tremaine LLP; CableNews Network, CNN, NBC4, Access Hollywood, E! Entertainment Television LLC and NBC Universal citing California Rule of Court 1.150 and the Public's first amendment right to observe trials; Noting that the Conrad Murray trial was watched by millions of people, was broadcast and streamed. In 1996 after the O.J. Simpson criminal trial, the Chief Justice of the California Superior Court appointed a special task force to evaluate whether television coverage of trials should be continued. The task force solicited the views of judges, media representatives, victims' rights groups, public defenders, prosecutors, and other representatives of the bar.  Based on the evidence, the task force concluded that cameras should remain in California courtrooms.  According to the task force, "society's interest in an informed public...is an important objective for the judiciary" and "would be severely restricted by a total ban."  Coverage for the AEG trial was denied. 
  23. 5/19/13 Examiner.com and 60 Minutes reported that the $500m  debt MJ left was "paid off" by the Estate in less than 4 years. .  yet reports have continued, stating both how much money the Estate has made and how much debt the Estate still has to pay 
  24. 5/28/13 AEG Live co-CEO Paul Gongaware, whose career as a concert promoter started with Elvis Presley's last tour, testified about Michael Jackson's final days.  He was working on the Elvis tour when he died so he kind of knew what to expect, Gongaware wrote in an e-mail to a friend two weeks after Jackson died.
  25. 6/4/13 Randy Phillips was called to the stand in the AEG v Katherine Jackson trial.  Panish, counsel for Katherine Jackson, asked that the record reflect that "this witness is being called pursuant to evidence code 776 as an adverse witness."  During his testimony Phillips stated he believed that the case was an extortion.  Further, he stated AEG had absolutely no responsibility whatsoever for anything that happened. He repeatedly told the jurors that AEG was in business to make money and that "It's about profit."  He described Michael Jackson's involvement with the concert dates as having the mountain come to Mohammed - that was the strategy.  He sated that in 2007 when Raymone Bain and Peter Lopez were in his business circle, they told Phillips he wasn't ready to go on tour.  But in June, 2008 Tom Barrack, the CEO of Colony Capital said he was ready. He called the attorney a "Pugilist" (boxer) He explained that he had a strategic plan that he prepared for Michael Jackson and met with him when nobody was there to represent him.  Panish asked if it was true that he wanted to make sure that he had as much control as possible in dealing with Mr. Jackson. He read an email that was sent to Mr. Nanula from Colony Capital that stated "MJ is not fast and a total perfectionist, needs to be controlled as much as possible." And brought up Colony Capital who was holding the note to Mr. Jackson's home; the company who contacted AEG to set the series of concerts up. When asked about the statement Phillips laughed.  Panish asked if he thought the statement was funny at which time Phillips replied "No.  I think it's tragic . . but go ahead." 
  26. 6/5/13 CNN reported publicly that AEG accused Katherine Jackson, the mother of the murdered artist Michael Jackson, of Extortion 
  27. 6/28/13 The judge at the AEG trial lets court out for day, but asks for "alternate juror number 5" and "alternate juror number 1" to stay. His court assistant said that they were approached by someone who mentioned something about awarding money.  Defense counsel for AEG, Stebbins, responded that "maybe we should not have all the press here for it?" According to the court transcripts, a woman approached the jurors and said "Those people, don't award those people any money." Katherine Jackson's attorney, Kevin Boyle witnessed the interaction as he was going downstairs to get a Gatorade. The judge stated that he didn't think it was the press.  Actually, he said, "it's been described as a fan, actually."  (Personally I haven't seen any AEG fan sites.)  It wasn't just a simple statement, the woman who approached the jurors actually continued to follow the jurors repeating her statement even though the jurors told her to she shouldn't be talking to them and to stop. Defense counsel, Marvin Putnam, told the judge that he was concerned from the very beginning of the case because of all the "fans" lining up with t-shirts.  One of the juror's replied that "I noticed her because I see other fans standing closer, but I saw her separate.  That's why I noticed her." The other juror stated that "I heard the word "friends" and "court" -- or "friends" and "case." Brian Panish, attorney for Katherine Jackson, stated that it was jury tamperingClearly a felony in the state.  The judge responded by saying that was a problem, BUT Mr Putman was raising issues about t-shirts and things like that.  (T-shirts were worn by Michael Jackson fans that had Katherine Jackson's photo on the front with the words "We support you Katherine Jackson" and "AEG Bullied Michael".  Clearly allowing any juror or judge know they were Michael Jackson fans, not AEG's. 
  28. 6/29/13 Anderson Cooper interviewed Randy Phillips and asked "Did you have concerns about working with Michael given his history of backing out of some concerts?" RP "The answer Anderson is Yes" "We spent a lot of money to take Conrad Murray out of practice" "A reporter asked me if I'd do it all over again and the answer is hell yes." 
  29. 9/3/13 The New York Post reported:  "An investment group that includes Sony/ATV, the music publishing giant half-owned by the Estate of Michael Jackson, is emerging as the favorite to acquire Elvis Enterprises 
  30. 10/2/13 Although cameras were not allowed in the courtroom after repeated requests during the five month trial between AEG and Katherine Jackson, and much of the evidence was placed under seal by the court, the court decided to allow the verdict for the trial to be read in front of a team of reporters 
  31. 11/20/13 The Estate of Michael Jackson employed Websherrif to monitor and rid the internet of any incriminating or insinuating articles or posts regarding the executors or AEG
  32. 1/15/14 The court rejects Conrad Murray's appeal which included the amici curiae filed by District Attorney Steven Cooley relative to the AEG insurance policy and the contract with AEG.  The court had also denied Conrad Murray's request to not allow cameras in the court room and on his appeal stated: “[E]very case of public interest is, almost as a matter of necessity, brought to the attention of all the intelligent people in the vicinity, and scarcely any one can be found. . . who has not some impression or some opinion in respect to its merits.”  (Reynolds v. United States (1879) 98 U.S. 145, 155-156." Yet they denied coverage of the AEG trial 
  33. 1/15/14 The Michael Jackson ESTATE settled the INSURANCE lawsuit involving AEG out of court, keeping the details "under wraps" The Estate had filed a cross complaint against the insurance company stating that Michael Jackson's death qualified as an "accident"

  38. 2/1/16 John Branca, from the Estate of Michael Jackson, was in a Los Angeles Court Room regarding the validity of the will; No cameras or press was allowed in.  A twitter user was present at the court and said that security was so tight that a reporter who happened to be in the court room from Telemundo was taken outside by the sheriff and had his cell phone examined.  This should have been a matter of public interest
  39. 4/19/16 TMZ reported the artist, Prince, had died - two days before he actually did.
  40. 4/21/16 The artist, Prince, is found dead; "Prince's earning power rose significantly April 21. Dead celebrities can command immense paychecks" said Martin Moylen of MPR News
  41. 6/17/16 L. Londell McMillan and Charles A. Koppelman are appointed to manage Prince’s entertainment assets: (When Mr. Bandier(Sony) divorced Ms. LeFrak in the early 1980s, he and Mr. Koppelman formed their own music publishing company. The two began acquiring small catalogs and had the inside track to acquire ATV, which held the rights to the Beatles’ music, in the mid-1980's — until Michael Jackson’s lawyers swooped in and nabbed the company with a $47.5 million bid)
  42. 6/27/16 An Objection by the Special Administrators, L. Londell McMillan and Charles A. Koppelman, was filed to prevent filming, photography, or record legal proceedings regarding Prince's Estate

  44. 1/1/17 Secret recordings were filed "under seal" of  Koppelman and McMillan, the two former Prince Estate administrators, forcing Jobu Presents to take a $2 million loan to pay the Estate.  Bremer Bank breached its' fiduciary duty by not disclosing the facts.
  45. 7/25/17 Michael Jackson’s Estate asked a U.S. Tax Court judge to seal “confidential information” contained in various exhibits presented in the case,  where hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. “This motion is brought on the grounds that the information petitioner is seeking to seal contains trade secrets and other confidential competitive business information, constitutionally protected private personal and financial information of the taxpayer and third parties, and private tax return information that is not material to this proceeding . . . Among the information that could be compromised, the estate said, are trade secrets, competitive and proprietary business details, personal and private financial information for both parties as well as nonparties, and “information that might cause public scandal.” Unfortunately they never had a problem sharing Mr. Jackson's financial and personal information to cause a public scandal.
  46.  The court refused to allow the contract between AEG and Michael Jackson to be entered into the Conrad Murray trial stating it was a "homicide" case without looking at the "financial" motive. 
  47. The prosecution in the Conrad Murray case filed a motion in limine to exclude testimony from key people in Jackson's life, including, but not limited to:  John Branca and Dr. Tohme Tohme (named as insured under the AEG insurance policy and who was on public record stating he would bring "death and destruction to Jackson and his family"
  48. Documents finally made public by the courts blocked out pertinent incriminating parts related to the conspiracy surrounding Jackson's death.  
  49.  Youtube user videos containing the testimony of pertinent individuals in the Conrad Murray trial were tampered with, removing incriminating testimony 
  50.  John Branca and Howard Weitzman have offered themselves up for interview after interview stating that they have had great success in getting Michael Jackson out of his "substantial" debt, all the while claiming they are looking out for the best interests of his mother and children - while they have stolen from not only Jackson but from the Estate and have gained immense financial personal profit by committing fraud.
There is so much more ground to cover.  These people believe they can control everyone and everything.  

There is one exception - God; and I belong to Him.  They have trespassed on His grounds and have begun a war they will not win.  It's tragic, but go ahead.  In the end when my Father asks if I'd do it all over again, the answer will be "hell yes."

The Murderers of Michael Jackson and Prince R trying to Kill Me!

Have you seen the new release?  The Estate of Michael Jackson has announced the release of a new album.  "Michael Jackson Scream" is due out on September 29, 2017.  The Estate has claimed it's full of surprises. The highlight of the album is "Blood on The Dance Floor X Dangerous".  The graphics and song choices are endearing.  Blood on the Dance Floor X Dangerous is very descript!

It seems that Charles Koppelman, John Branca, Tommy Mottola, Randy Phillips, Howard Weitzman and Martin Bandier are extremely upset with me.  They have had people follow me and are watching my house. I do believe they are trying to "X" me (Dangerous) out, leaving Blood on the Dance Floor.

For years they have tried to eliminate me from the internet, creating another "twin soul" named Susan Elsa to discredit me.  They have removed the angel from the You Are Not Alone video and are now trying to kill me because I know what they did.

These men are behind the murders of several people: Michael Jackson, Prince Rogers Nelson and Elvis Presley.  You are Not Alone depicts the divine connection(angel) twin flame soul mates have with each other.  I have seen what they did to Michael, know what they did to Prince and to Elvis.  They have not only murdered these men, but have taken all that they owned.  Using the images of these men to make money for themselves.

These evil acts are not the only acts that they have committed.  They continue to abuse all of the people around them that speak up for or stand up for the truth.  They hire people on the internet to discredit people and confuse facts.

They had very well laid out plans for each person they have killed.  They use titles of songs, images and song lyrics to foreshadow their plans.  This latest press release is only another one of their proclamations for what they intend to do.  You might remember the Prince symbol depicted on the Michael album release just after his death:


It seems they not only want me gone, but have plans to "Torture" me.  By their own descriptions and song mixes, they have given a very descriptive message. "Sony Music confirmed on Wednesday the album's upcoming release, saying that "Michael Jackson SCREAM" is "a collection of 13 of his alltime most electrifying and danceable tracks including 'Ghosts,' 'Torture,' 'Thriller,' and 'Dirty Diana.'" - CNN

"Torture" is not a Michael Jackson track, it's a Jackson 5 track.

"Scream" is the song Michael Jackson recorded in response to these very same people who set him up for child molestation allegations.  Some of the lyrics, sung by his sister, Janet, were from me:  "Oh my God, I can't believe what I saw on the TV this evening. I was disgusted by all the injustice."

The new "Michael Jackson Scream" album boasts a cover similar to Michael's "Blue Eye" photo and "Invincible" album, which depicts the link twin souls have.  One blue eye and one brown eye illustrates the windows of the soul.  Two people, each sharing in the same soul.  This is the reason I started this blog; it is the reason I know how and why Michael Jackson was killed.  It is the reason they have released the statements they have regarding "Michael Jackson Scream" - they want to punish us both, making not only me, but Michael Jackson Scream.

The details of his death and others are written in the books The Murder of Michael Jackson and Murdered Music.



It is unfortunate that Randy Phillips and Tohme Tohme were not prosecuted properly in 2009 when Michael Jackson died.  This in and of itself has led me to continue my quest for the truth.  Now that we have three murders linked to these men - not including Peter Lopez (guess that makes four), they along with all the other people they have included in their schemes risk exposure.  I do believe they will bring many people down with them when their world begins to crumble.  They now know who to thank. It was these men and these men alone who chose to commit these crimes believing they would never be found out.  What made them think I would never know when they knew about me to begin with?

It doesn't matter if I live or die.  The truth remains and has been recorded on this blog and in my books - eight years in the making.  Let this serve as my testimony that these men also have intentions to kill me and why.  These hideous attempts at vilifying others for their actions and maliciously lying to the press and public only lead me to believe that these men are floundering in a world of deceit and crime.  Their actions reveal their character, their motives and their greed.  The games they have played with people's lives have been very costly to a great number of people.  They have taken some of the very souls that brought great light into our world.  The murders they have committed have ended the immense outreach and support these artists offered children and the world.  Their charitable organizations did a great deal of good.

These men will continue to kill and to cover up their deeds because they truly believe no one can hold them accountable.  After each crime, each murder and each attempt to cover up what they have done, is a trail of their incessant and egotistical boastings about what they did and how they are getting away with it.  Taking from not only the artists they have killed, but from their families as well, all the while lying to the public about their intentions.

For the public, they have tried to make you believe they are always acting in the best interests of the fans and of the artists themselves.  When in fact they have done just the opposite.  Opening multiple business entities to transfer money and assets and accumulating the wealth for themselves.  Prior to the sale of the Sony/ATV catalog, which contained the infamous Beatles catalog, the Estate of Michael Jackson claimed Michael Jackson's half was only worth "0".  They took most of his wealth even before he passed.

I am not amused by all of their charades.  Their behavior and lack of remorse for what they have done belongs in a category all it's own - "evil".  They play with people's lives like they are toys for their own amusement.  Old, grown men with nothing better to do than to try and cripple other people's lives.  These men will fall from the towering places they have built for themselves by their own doing.

I will continue to stand up for the truth in the murders of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince Rogers Nelson and Elvis Presley. If blog posts abruptly end, you'll all know why.

Michael Jackson - "People wanted the Beatles catalog"

In 1969 Dick James and Brian Epstein, part of Northern Songs Ltd (formed by them as well as John Lennon and Paul McCartney), sold their shares of the Beatles music to Britain's Associated Television (ATV) giving no warning to the Beatles and their record company Apple Corps.  Northern Songs then passed into the control of ATV.

It's been said that Michael Jackson maneuvered past his friend and collaborator Paul McCartney for rights to the Beatles back catalog in August, 1985.  However, in October, 1986 CBS sold CBS Songs, its music publishing business, for $100 million to three entrepreneurs:

Stephen Swid, Charles Koppelman and Martin Bandier.

The sale included the CBS Catalogue Partnership, April Music Inc., Blackwood Music Inc., Music Theater International and CBS Songs International.

Two weeks later, the CBS Catalogue Partnership took a loan from Citibank, that included songs from the Beatles catalog Jackson purchased in 1985.  The songs "Help" and "Revolution" were included in the collateral assignment entitled "Wish I had a girl & 42,922 other titles; musical compositions".

When it came to the Beatles' original studio recordings, controlled by EMI-Capitol Records, permission was another matter. After Nike used the Beatles' original of "Revolution" in 1987 for its "Revolution in Motion" TV commercial campaign (in a licensing deal worth $250,000 to the label, according to Nike at the time), Apple Corps and Apple Records sued Nike, its advertising agency and EMI-Capitol for $15 million.

Paul Russell, former chairman of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, recalled, "Once Sony/ATV was formed, any requests for those songs came to Sony/ATV and not to Michael Jackson."

"(When) those requests came in, serious requests for serious money, for products that we knew were noncontentious, they would come to me and we would form a view, and then we'd go to Michael, even though he didn't have the right to approve it, and say, 'We've received this request, we think it's the right price and an OK use, what do you think?' If somebody had come back to us, either Michael or the Apple people, and said, 'We really don't want you to do this,' we probably wouldn't have done it."

But neither Sony/ATV or Michael Jackson were named in the lawsuit - EMI was.

In 1991, EMI Music Publishing Worldwide, then the world's largest music publisher, named Bandier chairman and chief executive. He also owned SBK Records Group, along with Charles Koppelman, a record label that EMI operated with its parent.  Charles Koppelman also made a bid on the Beatles catalog in 1985, according to Forbes magazine.  The magazine stated that it was in 1993 that Koppelman finally got his hands on the Beatles as chairman and Chief Executive of EMI.

By 1994, the same Beatles titles were entered into another security agreement, which included John Branca, the now acting executor of the Michael Jackson Estate, with EMI April Music, Inc. & EMI Blackwood Music, Inc. named as party 2 on the agreement.  ATV Northern Songs (the Beatles songs) was being administered by EMI April Music, Inc. and EMI Blackwood Music, Inc. in 1994.

In 1995 Jackson merged with Sony, forming Sony/ATV.  It was said that he made the merger deal with Sony because he was having "financial problems".  Although it looks as if the loans taken out using the Beatles catalog as collateral were not made by him.

The article "Jacko May Claim Threats by Mottola" in 2002 stated that Sony Music President Tommy Mottola "threatened" Jackson. "Not physical threats, but certainly the threat that Michael would be destroyed and his career would be over if he didn't agree to Tommy's terms."  The article stated it was Tommy saying "I'll ruin you"  and the basis for all of it was said to be the Beatles catalog.  "All in an effort to squeeze Michael financially."

Mr. Mottola was also formerly with CBS Records (with Charles Koppleman and Martin Bandier). He was named Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Worldwide in 1993.

Jackson spoke out against Mottola in 2001 and again against the industry in 2002.  His 2002 speech in New York City was made at the same time, apparently, as he supposedly signed his now enstated will in Los Angeles, CA.




In February, 2003 Jackson wrote a letter to John Branca terminating his services, instructing him to forward all documents, releasing him to represent him in any interests - and to RELEASE all funds being held in TRUSTS.  It was during that year that a report from a company called Interfor named John Branca as suspect to funds being diverted from Jackson to Branca and Mottola in offshore accounts.  The Interfor report investigation was requested by Jackson and revealed an improper relationship between Branca and Tommy Mottola.   It stated they were illegally transferring Jackson’s funds to offshore accounts.

Yet that same year Branca wrote to Koppelman regarding a combined publishing operation. "It should be clear that Michael does not contribute, assign or relinquish ownership of his publishing interests unless and until Warner/Chappel is acquired and until it is clear what Michael’s equity interest would be in the COMBINED PUBLISHING OPERATION"

Vanity Fair published the article "Jacko Story: Branca in negotiations" that March. Stating Jackson was "finished" with Sony.  That since the departure of Tommy Mottola from Sony, things had cooled off.  But John Branca, it stated, was still in negotiations to get Jackson a new deal at Sony, "at least for one new album as well as a boxed set he was preparing for the company. Even though right after Mottola left, Sony business-side people said it would never happen, it is happening."  Trudy Green resigned the account.  Green, who is a witness listed on the 2002 will, apparently called Branca about his termination. Branca was stumped. "By that time there was nothing anyone could do," a source said.

In 2004 Charles Koppelman was quoted in an article called “Jackson’s finances are solid, adviser says”(USA Today): “Everything’s in good shape.” Said Charles Koppelman, quoted as a trusted Jackson confidant who was instrumental in renegotiating Jacksons debts.  “He’s in no financial straits as far as I’m concerned.” “We’re basically finished with the refinancing that needed to get done.  That’s the bottom line.” Said Koppelman.

In 2005 Bandier asked EMI to sell him its publishing unit.  When they refused he resigned in 2006. A few months later he took over as head of the music publishing entity Sony/ATV.

In June of 2008 Mr. Bandier was quoted in an article stating that he was focusing on Sony/ATV’s most valuable asset – its trove of Beatles songs. “There’s no bigger star than ‘All You Need is Love’,” he said, calling the collection “unique”.

In 1985, Bandier had traveled to Perth to also try to buy the catalog.  Yet it was stated that Jackson beat him out.  Apple Corp, the company the Beatles created to manage their business affairs, has balked at the licensing deals over the years.  In 2008 Apple and Sony/ATV  licensed the Beatles compositions for use in American Idol, a Las Vegas show and a Hollywood film. They were also closing in on a multi-million dollar deal to create a Beatles-themed video game.  Although Jackson, at the time, was still deemed to be in financial ruins.

By 2009, Bandier was chief executive of Sony/ATV.  That March Rolling Stones magazine reported that Dr. Tohme Tohme, and Randy Phillips, the CEO of AEG Live (the company promoting MJ's London gigs) said the pop star's stake in Sony/ATV Music Publishing, which owned the Beatles catalog, was keeping Jackson financially afloat, but he had borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars against that investment.

It was that year that Michael Jackson was pronounced dead.  One day later a Business Insider writer, Joe Weisenthal, wrote the article "Here Come The Leeches For Michael Jackson's Money"  stating Fortress Investment Group (FIG) owned a 50% stake in the Sony/ATV music catalog, which controlled Jackson's music and the Beatles.  "FIG acquired the stake after foreclosing on debts it had acquired from other creditors."

In March of 2011, Jackson Estate Executor, John Branca, told Piers Morgan during his interview that Sony ATV was worth upwards of about 2 Billion $ and Michael owned half.

In September of 2011, The Huffington Post wrote that people had arrived at the LA courthouse as early as 6 am in hopes of being one of the six people selected for lottery seats held for the public in the Conrad Murray trial.  The remaining seats would be held for the media and families of Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad Murray.  Eight years prior, the author, Tanya Young Willimas, sat on the family row of a high-profile trial and no one sitting in the lobby could watch Court TV's coverage on their computers and/or phones. At this hearing everyone was immersed in the trial, What surprised her the most on day one of the trial, was the repeated opinions from devout Michael Jackson's fans that he was killed for money.  She heard over and over again, different theories on Dr. Murray's actual understanding of the "master plan to kill" Michael Jackson. Fans of Michael's and supporters of Dr. Murray's continued to say that Michael Jackson was killed because he was worth more dead than alive. "People wanted the Beatles catalog." declared Brian Ciram, a 25 year old private banker from San Francisco.

Murray was found guilty of manslaughter November 7, 2011.  Four days later Rolling Stone Magazine reported that Universal Music Group had acquired EMI's recorded music division for $1.9 billion. Universal, it stated, would acquire the major works of acts including the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Coldplay and the Beach Boys.  That same day it was announced that Sony was to acquire EMI music publishing from Citigroup  - "An investor group comprised of Sony Corp, in conjuction with the Estate of Michael Jackson: Mubadala Development Company, Jynwel Capital Lmtd, Blackstone Groups GSO Capital Prtners LP and David Geffen (the "Group") announced today the execution of a definitive agreement . . to acquire EMI from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup for $2.2 billion.  Sony/ATV Music Publishing is co-owned by subsidiaries of SCA (Sony Corporation of America) and TRUSTS formed by the Estate of Michael Jackson." 

The Music Network reported that Mr. Bandier played a key role in the acquisition of EMI Music Publishing by Sony Corporation of America, the Estate of Michael Jackson and the investment group headed by Mubadala Development Company, for whom Sony/ATV administered the EMI catalog.
Sony itself was to be a minority investor, but the company's Sony/ATV Music Publishing division, headed by Martin Bandier, would run EMI's publishing business. "EMI's assets count more than 1.3 million songs, including 251 Beatles compositions" 

In 2014 a Daily Mail reporter wrote that the Michael Jackson Estate was embroiled in major tax-cheating scandal  "Among the disputed values, the estate said a trust that holds interest from some of Jackson's music and most of the Beatles catalog was worth $0"

In 2015 the Beatles song Day Tripper showed up on Amazon as part of the EMI Catalogue

Copyright: (C) 2015 Apple Corps Ltd.  The Jackson’s estate retains a 10 percent share of EMI’s publishing arm.

In 2016  it was reported that the EU antitrust regulators cleared Sony Corp's bid to buy out Michael Jackson's stake in its music publishing joint venture, with copyrights to the Beatles' songs that was apparently worth "$0". Sony signed a memorandum of understanding to pay the Jackson estate $750 million. . . for Jackson's stake that was worth "0".

Mr. Bandier (below) now portrays his accomplishments on his desk.  Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Michael Jackson are all symbolized by figurines that sit upon his desk.


As for Mottola, he served as the "gatekeeper" to Jackson's music, working alongside Bandier and Branca, even though he was no longer part of Sony as of 2003(?)
