People have e-mailed with pictures and amazing stories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michael is alive and well and happier than ever. The plot was 10 years in the making but it had to be done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know he is alive because we have seen pictures. Clear pictures taken June 26, 2009 of Michael Jackson lounging poolside with friends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This site is dedicated to bringing the truth to his fans and ultimately to provide a forum for Michael to communicate with them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We feel he was forced to fake his death the same way companies are forced into bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those close to Michael have known about the plot for years, it was a very expensive and intricate venture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The man who died had a terminal illness and his death was long overdue. He was given facial surgery to resemble Michael exactly. No doubt his family will be taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Soon we think Michael&#8217;s new music will be out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Under a different name and with a drastically altered face, which sounds better than ever, even though a harmonizer has been used to disguise his voice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michael wants to connect with his fans, he only wants to run from those who would seek to control him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another site, called Jackson Faked His Own Death, also claims Jacko&#8217;s death is a stunt, but this time that he is holed up in Eastern Europe ready to return in person.<\/p>\n<p>They claim: &#8220;Once he is rested and ready will blow the lid off his own hoax and then embark on the most spectacularly lucrative concert tour in the history of rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then there is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaeljacksonsightings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.michaeljacksonsightings.com\/<\/a>, which claims to have been told by sources from the United States Customs and Border Protection saw Michael and another unidentified man, crossing the California-Mexico Border late on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>A witness says: &#8220;How could you mistake a face like that? I&#8217;m certain it was Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His hair was cut short and he was wearing dark sunglasses, but I&#8217;ve got a couple of his albums and seen him on TV and everything, so I have not doubt in my mind that it was him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The man added that he had no idea the singer had died at the time of the sighting.<\/p>\n<p>Have you seen Jacko?
