Ghost of Christmas Past

 

Ghost of Christmas Past

  

"But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince." - Daniel 10:21.

 

"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." - Daniel 12:1.

 

"Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." - Jude 1:9.

 

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels," - Revelation 12:7.

 

 

 

The image above is going to offend some people: probably even Michael.  But the spirit in which this was posted, or even created by the original artist is that of recognition of what happened.

 

Justice, to this day, has not been served: not for Michael, not for them that Michael was trying to protect, not for the children; and not for his adversary’s other victims.  Because the conspirators are still out there.

 

But Justice is coming.  It is coming.

 

And the one’s behind his, and many other deaths, and persecutions are as we speak, in the process of revealing themselves.

 

Michael had a role to play.  I believe to the end, he knew it, and took it on willingly: because he knew God was with him, regardless of what “they” tried to convince others while pointing their fingers at the innocent.

 

The last thing Michael would have wanted, is attention on himself: Everything he suffered, he suffered to get the message out before his role transitioned. 

 

15 years.  That is how long this labor has lasted.  And by all biblical accounts, this labor will profit. 

 

It’s been a long time, I’m tired as are many of you, but now is not the time to grow faint. Expose the works of darkness: God knows who the “wheat” and the “tares” are.

 

 

 

The Ghost of Christmas Past

 

December 23, 2025:  I had just returned home from picking up prescriptions at a local grocery store (Local for me means 36 miles away).  I had left my cell phone at home which I do occasionally, but  not on purpose.  When I got back home around 12:30pm that was the first thing I checked.  No messages.

 

After putting some small purchases away (milk, bread, butter, you know), I put some water on for tea and checked TikTok while waiting for the water to boil.

 

Has anyone noticed the proliferation of Michael Jackson subject matter on TikTok?  Any social  media really, but it has been almost saturating on TikTok.

 

The particular video I ran into after opening the app had this subtitle:

 

“12/23/2025

The Shocking Theory:

Was Michael Jackson Killed for His

Music Catalog?  Alleged

Motives & Deals”

 

Hashtagged was “#MJConspiracy”, “#Michael Jackson”, #MusicIndustry”, “#pov”, “#tfupodcast”.

 

The man on there who was not identified said in the opening of the video (click here to watch):

 

“I think Michael Jackson was murdered for the catalog.” 

 

In the background you can hear someone murmur in affirmation.  Then he said:

 

“And I think, well, when you’re paying a doctor a hundred thousand dollars a month, you don’t know what he’s doing?  And your talent is looking the way he is looking and acting the way he’s acting?  You know, you don’t think it’s a risk?

 

Hey look, I know, Randy Phillips was the president of AEG, I’ve done a lot of business with him over the years, and he was also Prince’s manager”.

 

I first listened to the whole thing, then I went back and listened to it to get the quotes.  I stopped it to get my tea.  When he got to the part about Randy Phillips, I went back to the beginning again and began writing all this down here.  Randy Phillips was Prince’s manager?

 

Not according to any records I have checked into.  Randy Phillips was not ever Prince’s manager, according to “The Current” and A.I.:

 

“Prince's career was marked by several key managerial figures who played significant roles in his early development and business affairs. Owen Husney was Prince's first manager . . . Husney's management ended in 1980 when Prince signed with Bob Cavallo and Joe Ruffalo. Marylou Badeaux, a Warner Bros. executive in the Black Music Department, became a trusted day-to-day contact for Prince during his time with the label . . . Alan Leeds served as the vice-president of Operations for Paisley Park Records until 1991, also acting as Prince’s tour manager on several tours and winning a Grammy for liner notes. After Prince's departure from Warner Bros., he founded NPG Records, run by Trevor Guy, who became a key figure in managing his independent label operations.”

 

Where this DOES appear  that Randy Phillips managed Prince, is on Randy Phillip’s own Wiki-page:

 

"After law school, he worked for NBC where he co-produced Rock Palace.[1] He then signed a contract with K-Rock where he focused on New Wave artists, Haircut 100 and Modern English; and later booked Rod Stewart.[1] Soon after, Stewart's manager, Arnold Stiefel, hired him to join his talent management company and Phillips quickly signed Billy Squier and Prince becoming a full partner after the first year.[1][2] Phillips and Paul Gongaware managed Prince until Warner Brothers executives Mo Ostin, Lenny Waronker, and Michael Ostin parted ways with Prince" - Source, Wikipedia/RandyPhillips.

 

 

Not that I don’t believe Phillips is capable of managing Prince, but the time-line doesn’t work with the timeline of the “RocknRoll Book Club” source at “The Current”.  Neither of those two, Phillips or Gongaware highlighted in that paragraph, are mentioned on “TheCurrent”.

 

This really isn’t that important in the scheme of things today, except for the fact that one of these sources is a lie.  I don’t like lies.  They muddy the waters.

 

Randy Phillips did not manage him at the same time that Cavello and Ruffalo managed him.  This is some of the untangling we had to do around those claiming to manage Michael Jackson, overlapping alleged times and people, that came out of the pores of opportunism during those early years of researching his death.

 

Back to the TikTok video, this gentleman continued on Phillips:

 

“When I watched him on the stand, and he was one of these old school guys, ‘Just get the freaking artist what they want to get the gig done”, do you know what I’m saying? You want an 8-ball? Here’s an 8-ball kid, you know what I mean?” 

 

Stopped the video here.  Took a breath.  Wanted to throw the phone. 

 

I have been over, under and through all this since 2009.  Prince was not a drug addict.  Neither was Michael Jackson.  That’s not to say they weren’t GIVEN drugs, because they were!  Michael was quoted as fearing eating his food, that it might be drugged.  His sister Latoya testified on a televised interview (in another country, because they wouldn’t air it here) that her food WAS drugged during her 10 year imprisonment with Jack Gordon.  It was part of her, what she called, “the control factor” (mind control). Tears midway through the tape, when she talks about taking the Bible into the shower with her.

 

And Randy Phillips?  I saw that same court testimony too.  I REPORTED on that trial for six weeks, watching the testimony and every single witness!

 

Now those original articles with dates and time stamps no longer appears because Google took the whole blog down in 2021 (12 years of work at the time).  I have in the last month and a half seen contradictory information as they are coming out of the woodwork with re-written history.  Not a surprise, but the old emotions concerning the lies are just as sharp today, which did surprise me!

 

Continuing with the video:

 

“. . . but to hire a doctor, a cardiologist who wasn’t even in entertainment, you had to know that he was a drug dealer.  So I mean, you can play naïve all you want, but the guy was taking propofol to go to sleep.  You know what I’m saying? Like, . . . “

 

Another guy appears on camera and says “some strong stuff”.  And the video ends there.

 

 

 

Many Called, Few Chosen

 

 Aside from the Phillips/Prince management confusion, there were a couple of other tidbits from that short video, like:

 

My research did not find a licensed doctor by the name of “Murray” anywhere in California in 2008 - 2009. I did however, find Murray’s wife was a licensed Pediatrician, but in Nevada, not California.  Murray had record of applications but no listings, which we suspected way back in 2010, was because he was “agency”, he was “installed” in this “role” as a “doctor”.

 

In addition to that on Murray, the man’s statement on the video that Murray “wasn’t even in entertainment” so he “had to be a drug dealer”: excuse me?  How many doctors were involved in Jackson’s life who WERE all “entertainment” doctors that pummeled him with drugs?  Arnold Klein was one that was exposed during that same trial.  They're KNOWN for this!

 

Secondly, why would this guy even mention Randy Phillips, at all, in this short clip?  And why in association with Prince?  Was he trying to suggest that perhaps Phillips was either responsible or complicit in the “murder” of both? (Prince’s “drug overdose” was ruled “accidental”.)  He doesn’t elaborate in this clip.

 

This part: “When I watched him on the stand, and he was one of these old school guys, ‘Just get the freaking artist what they want to get the gig done”

 

This was in reference to Phillips.  And personally I don’t believe this for one minute.  Paul Gongaware?  He was also working for AEG at the time.  What WASN’T mentioned was that Sony usurped, then took control of the concert production claiming ownership of the trademarks/copyrights.  In order for the “show to go on”, compromises of who was in charge of what had to be made.

 

Then some old Sony cohorts were brought back in: Karen Faye, Michael Bush, and John Branca, whom Michael NEVER wanted to deal with again.  Who was his friend and who wasn’t was a big topic of discussion throughout 2010 and 2011 on my blog.

 

In this vein of research, we found overlapping managers, accountants, FINANCE companies all claiming to have signed contracts to “refinance” Michael’s assets, catalogs (there was more than one: Mijack, Sony/ATV and another label).

 

On "History.com", it says "In 2008, however, Jackson gave up his remaining interest in the catalog to Sony, one of his primary creditors. After his death, Sony took full control of the catalog." - Source, History.com.

 

That is a lie, and Branca, Michael’s estranged lawyer, is the one that sold Michael’s interest in SONY/ATV after Michael’s death.

 

We had searched copyright listings, trademark owners and corporations under corporations, where they were incorporated, what year, and whether they were still in license.

 

Prescient, Transitional, Fortress, New Horizon, and other claims from Chase-Manhattan, Darian Dash, Colony Capital etc, etc, etc:

 

During the entire period we were researching “This Is It” specifically in reference to the death of Michael, the phrase “follow the money” was promoted; and that is what I did.

 

What I found was that SONY, in cahoots with John Branca (who was supposed to be Michael’s lawyer, but was in conflict of interest with Sony), had retained creative control over the “This Is It” concerts as AEG began slowly turning over pieces of the control, for licensing’s sake.

AEG is a corporation, yet they seemed more interested in getting Michael's message out than in fighting Sony over control and profits.

 

Sony had purchased the rights to the “This Is It” film documentary with editing rights in August of 2009, not even a full two months after Michael’s passing (Today.com, Sony Music.com, Wikipedia/ThisIsIt), yet certain, what I call “corporate fans” went after AEG like jackals both in radio, press and internet platforms such as “Twitter”, “Facebook” and “Instagram”.

 

Some of these “fans” who were supposed to have “come together in their sorrow”, organized by unemployed “fan stalkers” (their name for themselves, not mine), managed to pay for, organize and publish a very expensive website for their “This Is NOT It” movement on servers that had clientele like NBC News, Werner Bros and Sony.

 

They also managed to get all this organized, published and listed on Google Search TWO DAYS before Michael was even killed (those of you following the Charlie Kirk story, this should resonate with you).

 

I got skewered by half the fan base who were registered with my blog over who financed the death of Michael Jackson.  And AEG would have stood to make NO money after selling their rights to Sony other than the obligatory royalties.

 

The consensus with many of us was that AEG turned over the reins to Sony so that Sony Music could hang themselves.  Michael had been fighting them for years, and those of us that know will NEVER forget his words and his fight over his label trying to keep him from his song rights, his publishing and his freedom.

 

John Branca also managed, along with John McCain whom I heard recently passed away, to somehow fake a will (on a day that Michael was nowhere near them when it was allegedly signed), to install them as executors of Michael’s will. Peter Lopez, who was Michael’s lawyer some time before Michael’s death allegedly had copies of the current will, was killed.

 

The “Sony/ATV: catalog which Michael had been trying to get back, was finally sold by John Branca, to SONY a year ago.  So this SOB is NOT Michael’s friend!

 

Branca and McClain made $6.9 million in commissions just in 2025.  And for the SONY/ATV catalog sold to Sony which was finalized in 2024, The two made 90 million on that one deal alone. (Source).

 

 

 

Michael and REAL Israel

 

Back to AEG.  I had done some background work on several people between the time of Michael’s 2005 trial over the false allegations. AEG wasn’t involved during the time of Michael’s trial.  I searched many that were affiliated with AEG and Sony, to include attorneys, CEO’s, umbrella companies and their offshoot corporations and their heads.

 

This took me through all the financing “shell game” I called it, to keep Michael’s intellectual and physical assets out of Sony & Friend’s hands.

 

Randy Phillips was probably smeared the most because he was, as CEO of AEG Live, close to the production and Michael and the people around him during rehearsals and the business dealings of it all.  Michael never said anything bad about either AEG or Phillips.  People quoted him as saying things after his death, none of it verifiable.  Yet Michael had publicly aired his grievances about both Sony and Sony’s then CEO, Motolla; and Branca according to interviews and posts by Michael’s own family and Michael’s own words from previous years battles.

 

I looked into all of them and truth be told, I didn’t like Randy Phillips.  I thought he came off as snide, obnoxious, rude, insensitive to others, and your typical POS CEO who saw “talent” as pieces of meat.

 

As we got closer to the trial, I began to slightly doubt my assessment of Phillip’s involvement in those who would profit from Michael’s death: I couldn’t put my finger on why, I just didn’t see Phillips as the person the corporate fans were making him out to be.

 

Then about halfway into the covering the Murray trial (maybe less than halfway in), I saw Phillip’s testimony.

 

Paul Gongaware During

Dr. Conrad Murray Trial

 

Randy Phillips During

Dr. Conrad Murray Trial.

Phillips was not nervous or indignant.  He was not obnoxious, rude or snide.  He was quietly respectful of both the questions and the reason they were there.  And agree with me or not, but I detected a very carefully veiled empathy and it completely changed my mind about him.  And I saw something else in Phillips when he said that he and Michael talked in a hotel room for three hours and both had cried. What was shared to make a man like Phillips cry?

 

I had also done research on Anschutz.  There wasn’t a whole lot on him.  He was private almost to the point of being reclusive.  I looked into his companies, his history, his beginning backround, and for a billionaire he was probably one of the most conservative and low-keyed individuals in his tax bracket.  I did research into Barack of Colony Capital and some others.  None of these people needed Michael’s catalog or his properties: They were billionaires in their own right.  As a matter of fact, they LOST wealth pursuing the protection of Michael and his assets.

 

Which brings us to the mention of the “catalog”:

 

 

 

A Very Valuable Publishing

 

I remember even early on in my research on this, the “value” of the catalog didn’t really make sense, with the caliber of people who were seeking control of it.

 

There were heads of state to local government officials, lawyers, accountants and business managers of stars who’s own pockets were deep enough.  Not to mention that there were so many of them involved, and the cost of blackmail and legal positioning, lawyers costs etc, that were confederate in this “conspiracy” as Michael called it, the effort didn't seem profitable.

 

There is no way any of them would have made a profit for all they were spending to try to wrest control of it from Michael.  At best, the people involved would have had to split the proceeds hundreds of ways, and any one person’s share would have amounted to less that five figures apiece if that!

 

There had to be more to it, and there was.  And this was learned while listening (for probably the fifth or sixth time) to an interview that Michael Jackson gave to Jesse Jackson during the course of his 2005 trial.

 

The phone interview Part 4 where he talks about the catalog:

 "Click Here" (hiccup between browser and publisher)

 

At 1:10 Michael tells Jesse: “and there is a BIG FIGHT, going on RIGHT NOW as we speak, about that”.  And at 1:18 “I don’t know whether or not, I can’t comment but there is a lot of conspiracy, I say a LOT of conspiracy going on as we speak”.

 

In part 5 he again says "there is conspiracy all around me".  You can find the whole interview in it’s parts at this link Here.

 

A “catalog” in this context is a publishing of songs, or “book” of intellectual property.  Publishing. (They were after Michael’s “catalog” or “publishing”).

 

It wasn’t until after a couple of years after the Murray trial was over that I found . . .

 

"The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it." - Psalm 68:11.

   

"And the gospel must first be published among all nations." - Mark 13:10.

 

"The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:).  That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;" - Acts 10:36-37.

 

And what was that "Word" that was published?

 

"According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not." - Haggai 2:5.

 

Moses was given an edict, one among many, but this one is relevant to the instruction in the verses above, for the remembrance of the “elect”:

 

"Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.  Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him." - Exodus 23:20-21.

 

The "Angel" is in caps.  What was to “go before” the Israelites as they journeyed across the Jordan?

 

"That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

 

And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan." - Joshua 3:16-17.

 

The “stones of Israel” were set up after the Ark passed over the Jordan on dry ground in Joshua 4.  Joshua was instructed to take 12 men, one from every tribe, to go and take up a stone out of the Jordan on their shoulder, and set them up so that it may be a sign, a memorial unto the children that the Ark cut off  the waters of the Jordan.

 

Do you understand where the “Jordan” river is, and why the Israelites had to cross over dry land?  The “Ark” cut off the waters.

 

The Archangel “withholds” the dragon from the body of Moses.

 

The Archangel “cuts off” the dragon and his angels from man child when he is caught up to God and to his THRONE.  That same dragon sends a “flood” after the “woman” who is the daughter of Zion, that brings forth the man child.

 

He is the “stronghold” protecting the pure word.  The “PUBLISHING”.

 

They were after “his publishing”.

 

 

 

Keep Planting Seeds

 

The Ghost of Christmas Past: fifteen years ago, for Christmas, I had posted a Youtube video and I haven’t really posted another since the spring of 2011.  The Murray trial had not yet occurred and I was being besieged with dreams and publishing poems.

 

I do not observe the holiday as I used to; because it is not the birthday of Jesus and it is not sourced in Christian tradition but Pagan traditions.  That doesn’t mean that the lights aren’t pretty, and that we shouldn't pray  “peace on earth, good will toward men”. We should be doing that every day.  And every day I am blessed to run into someone whose day I can try to make better or shine some light to turn their circumstances around.

 

We have some ugly going on in the world, in people’s minds, on the news, online, and aside from the lies and deceptions, gaslighting and justifying our behavior, we need to remember who we are.

 

When God created man, there were no Jews or Gentiles, there was just LIFE.  What cut us off from the LIFE was the LIE.  That lie is still laboring to cut off God’s children from the LIFE.

 

And what Jesus is, is the LIFE.  Jesus is what we were supposed to be, before “the ghost of jealousy” decided to seduce us into taking something that did not belong to us, in the garden.

 

Ironically, it was something we already had, that we gave away to the usurper.

 

The timing of the current events here and into next year should be recorded.  Because sometime in the next few days or months, there will be some “tables” that are going to be overthrown.

 

We will be leaving the “Year of the Snake” and coming into the year of the “Horse”.  It is the seventh sign of the Chinese Zodiac.  The seventh.

 

The Michael Jackson Biopic is supposed to be released in that year, 2026.  That may or may not significant, but it’s been moved back more than once.

 

Keep vigilant. And do not weary in planting the seed (Luke 8:11).
