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.

Joy's 94 GJ testimony decimates the post-2012 claims.
- Whole family went on Grand Canyon tour.
- 1st trip was preplanned 1 month regardless of MJ/NL.
- Contact w/ MJ only spawned by Joy (and dad) calling to get his info.
- L.A. Gear paid/arranged next visit, not MJ/companies.
To add:
- MJ's visa sponsorship specific to Wade had "no money associated with it whatsoever." Wade did not actually work for MJ.
- It was Joy's hope to stay in US, not MJ's. (She told 90s media MJ said "follow your heart." Now pretends MJ pressured them and tore family apart.)
- Joy's "employment" with MJJ Productions was as a conduit for sponsorship. She had NO contract with MJJP or actual work duties there. Her real job at Pigment's Cosmetics would send her paychecks to MJJ Productions, to redistribute. So that money was from external job, not MJJP.
Imagine being a self-described journalist in 2025 (@mulkerrins) writing paragraphs about James' "mental tour" through the "sex" he says he had daily at iconic locations around NL.
Without acknowledging the aforementioned train station never existed in his abuse timeline—at all.
In another paragraph the author even acknowledges, per James, "the abuse tailed off as Safechuck reached his teens."
This is consistent with his 4 versions of lawsuits where he has their "relationship" tapering off by 1990. Three years before the station began construction.
The author doesn't bother to ask James about this discrepancy, which the filmmaker himself attempted to defend as getting "the end of the abuse" wrong.
This was before Dan had evidently read James' years of lawsuits and contradicts LN's own timeline that places it prior to 1990.
Today in 04, MJ's defense filed a motion calling out Melville's factual errors in refusing to reduce MJ's egregious $3M bail.
The county max for comparable charges was $435K.
Sneddon: "MJ is no ordinary defendant & the bail schedule does not apply to him."
"Celebrity justice."
In the ruling, Melville baselessly suggested MJ had plans to travel to Brazil after sending the Arvizo family there (via hot air balloon?)
Except MJ had no involvement in any of those conversations, nor did he plan to go there.
Melville quoted non-existent remarks in decision.
Further, Melville leveraged the Chandler and Francia civil settlements based on 10+ yr. old allegations that never spawned any criminal charges after grand juries, 400 witnesses and millions of tax-payer expended travels to find any "victims."
GRANTED: Motion to quash subpoenas seeking body photos etc. This was the most important defense motion.
DENIED: Motion to enforce professional conduct by plaintiffs.
POSTPONED UNTIL OCT. 22 2024: Trial readiness & complex case considerations.
RE: Subpoenas
Judge Whitaker noted the prior unsuccessful requests made by Wade/James in 2014-18.
"To the extent Plaintiffs wished to seek relief from that order, they have not done so...subpoenas directly violate that order."
The one exception being the new request to SBCSO.
RE: Subpoenas
But the SBCSO subpoenas—the only new aspect introduced with Carpenter's latest requests—would still require a notice to affected consumers (including MJ's estate) and this was not done.
Therefore, these subpoena requests are included in quashing all four sets. 👍
The Wade/James court hearing tomorrow centers on three agenda items:
1. Trial readiness and tentative scheduling
2. Motion to enforce professional conduct by Wade's attorney(s)
3. Motion to quash four subpoenas to LAPD/SBSO/LADA/SBDA
The context behind each is as follows:
RE: Trial Readiness
The defense proposed a trial date of August 17, 2026 to allow 18 months for discovery, depositions, other calendar commitments and pre-trial motions. The plaintiffs did not object.
If honored, both sides will have until fall 2025 to finish major prep work.
Earlier this year, the media claimed the estate was delaying due to the biopic and to "silence" WR/JS and that Carpenter wanted a trial by April '25.
But in legal filings Carpenter agreed with the defense that discovery "is in infancy" and a 2026 trial date is fully reasonable.
From the original 11-page handwritten memo of Jordan's allegations, sold to the media in '93.
"Jordan stated he & Evan met with MJ & attorneys, and confronted him with ALLEGATIONS in AN EFFORT TO MAKE A SETTLEMENT and AVOID A COURT HEARING."
They never wanted court of any kind.
This is the same meeting detailed in Ray/Evan's book, where they outright admit to demanding $20M and how, had MJ just paid Evan it, he could've remained unscathed.
Instead, MJ staunchly refused any such demand including Evan's subsequent $1M pleading he sought later that month.
On August 5, 1993 following the failed meeting:
"I would like you to continue to negotiate...if those negotiations are not successful then as your client I am instructing you to file a complaint against MJ"
(By that, Evan meant filing a CIVIL case against MJ to allege such 💰.)
