And The Beat Goes On

So folks, as a follow on from my last blog, things have got quite interesting the other side of the pond.

A fan project was started to write messages to Michael on stones and leave them at Neverland. Now the original idea was to bring a stone to Neverland, which a certain fan group then decided to start getting fans to donate money for the stones, to be sent to their paypal account. Yep, thats right, yet ANOTHER money making scheme, how much money will disappear into peoples pockets from THAT one???

And then there was yet ANOTHER story in TMZ, quoting a rep from a fan group!! Like what the hell, since when are fan activities the business of a GOSSIP website??? and Im sure TMZ thank that particular rep from a fan group for the exclusive, like they thank all their other sources......

ooh and now we get to the really interesting stuff.

Yesterday, 23 Aug was yet another pretrial hearing. The day started well, with a particularly fun exchange on TWITTER

@Qbees you wont get reliable info from so called justice leaders or their notes from court!!Mon Aug 23 2010 14:27:41 (GMT Daylight Time)
@Qbees that will happen, but it wont be from AMERICAN so called Justice leaders, other fans are there too & will get info out

@dmoonstreet Well the courhouse is open to the public, so feel free to come when it counts. Have a great day. Were going to support.Mon Aug 23 2010 15:37:46 (GMT Daylight Time)
After that interesting conversation I had fans contact me saying they couldnt belive what was being said and that were unfollowing justice_4mj and MJFSC_!!!
Then a few hours later it all kicks off at the court. Now as I wasnt there, all I know is that things were flying back and forth on TWITTER and FACEBOOK, with TOMJFSC reporting certain fans to the Police!!! Um excuse me people, am I dim or what, I thought we were all there to fight for Michael, not take the fan wars to the streets and in public, right in front of the world media!!!
Now today, this has appeared on facebook

The Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California Justice4MJ went to support Michael and the Jackson family yesterday. It was a disaster. With a bunch of HATE from a certain "doom and gloom" group (SD/LP/TM) who dont care anything about Michael. They just seek attention and caused DRAMA ALL DAY..Court was a waste of time as usual. So sad that its taking this long for justice to be served. Next court date is Oct. 26th.

The Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California Due to what
has been happening in the fan community, AMY, Karlene and I have decided
this will be the last post on this page. Inlight of what is happened
with Taaj Malik, and the drama she is causing, we no longer feel the
fans are benifiting from the work we do. I am sorry this is happening,
she is causing division am...onst fans and doing it in Michael's name. We
will not be part of this.

The Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California Taaj, you may think you have won, but this was

never about you. It was about Michael Jackson, a person I have loved my
whole life. You will now ruin this community with your hate, lies and
black heart. I will pray for you, in spite of what you have done. The
fans will see, you have attacked his grieving family, you hav...e
attacked his fans. These are smart people manipulated by your hate. Soon
they will see!

So thats its, the so called leaders of the JUSTICE CAMPAIGN, the ones who have been the most vocal, GONE before even the prelim hearing!! They came, they made the money and they left.... Nevermind all the fans around the world who looked to them for guidence, who thought that they really cared about Michael... oops oh well, tough!!
As the dust settles from all this, the fans who really do care about Michael will continue the fight for Justice. Hopefully now the fans will realise what has been going on and that not everyone is doing this for the same reason. Just like we didnt give up in Santa Maria, we wont give up now. As the months roll by and the weather gets colder, we will be there, in layers with hot drinks, in the rain, in the snow, whatever it takes. The real true fans dont care about media attention, about public recognition, about making money. All we care about is Michael.
