Just as Dan spliced and edited recordings of the Hawaii tape and Geragos' press conference to remove context and create an alternate reality, similar deceit occurred in 2005 with media broadcasts of "voicemail" by two men seeking millions from MJ, with a shared attorney.

GMA Hype: "MJ like you've never heard before!"

First off, a clip implying MJ would guilt-beg associates for his demands: "please, please, please never let me down. I really like you, I love you."

They omitted 80% of the call—MJ was discussing charity & business collaborations.

Next up, a no-context clip in which MJ appears to demand Schaffel give him 7 million dollars ASAP.

They omitted 80% of the message—MJ spoke of a big multi-million dollar project & saw something he wanted to get. The money he speaks of was part of MJ's own associated accounts.

Then GMA runs a clip of MJ asking Marc for cash ("fries"): "It's big money overseas." No context, suggests an offshore scheme.

They omitted 83% of the call—MJ was speaking of enhancing a tape and getting the film to Europe to make it global. Schaffel managed the funds for WMCIG.

Grand finale, enter Dieter's clip heard round the world: "The Jews do it on purpose!"

Wait a minute! The extended clip quietly released by Dieter many years later is entirely different: "SO MANY PEOPLE when they see talent...THEY suck them like leeches...THEY do it on purpose."

The altered GMA clip was mass-promoted to condemn MJ as anti-Semite for more than 15 years. A 2019 headline reads: "MJ was a vile anti-Semite who branded Jews leeches."

In Dieter's 300-page book, this call is described very endearingly and presented totally differently than GMA.

The impact of that altered GMA clip was severe. Advocacy groups & ADL were outraged. He lost fans, too.

The edits weren't incidental:

"They suck...they're like leeches."
"The Jews do it on purpose."

VS.

"So many people...They suck them like leeches."
"They do it on purpose."

These same manipulation tactics were used with the faxes and recordings in LN. Correspondence was chopped off, rearranged and omitted to eliminate context and invent a new narrative that paints innocuous exchanges as sinister.

Like making MJ seem fixated on James in Hawaii tape.

"How do we know the extended Dieter clip isn't the fake one?!" -Guilters, probably.

The fact that the same supposed audio has been released in 2 strikingly different arrangements by the same person is the real story.

(The 2005 version was in promotion of a $64,000,000 lawsuit.)

This type of manipulated content—used as an emotional or financial ploy—is inexcusable, whether done by an editor or the owner.

Marc & Dieter knew what GMA aired, and did nothing to correct the record.

Wade & James knew what LN presented, and did nothing to correct the record.

Marc & Dieter had more than 30 recorded voicemails of MJ.

GMA was only interested using the most sensational bits of them all, which they happily obliged. To create controversy more than 80% of each clip was removed and spliced as needed.

Nobody batted an eye—no accountability.

"But what about the media airing edited clips of Evan Chandler?!" -Guilters, probably.

We have a complete transcript of the call. The aired portions are highlighted. The surrounding context is in line with the depiction. The transcript actually paints Evan in much worse light.

This has always been the guilter dilemma. Every "explosive claim" crumbles under any amount of scrutiny.

Fabricated materials, witnesses who collected $20k-$100k per story and/or sought millions from MJ, hoax documents and media manipulation to construct their fictional reality.
