Real Forum Information

Before I start this post, and the real content I am going to list everything you'll need to play along at home.

Hardware:

An old PC (1Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, 2TB RAID 0 Hard Drive) - it is a dinosaur but any computer will do.

Software:

XAMPP (PHP, Apache, phpMyAdmin) - available here.
SMF Forum - available here.
PHPBB3 Forum - available here.
Windows XP (although any Operating System will do; such as OSX, Linux)
Firefox 10 (although any web browser will do; Chromium (not Chrome) being a better option.

Install Procedure:

Install XAMPP.
Use phpMyAdmin to create two databases (smf & bb3 were used).
Install SMF.
Install phpBB3.

That is pretty much it. There is a little more to the installation but that gives you the order. What you now have is a pair of locally hosted forums. Which for test purposes is fine. If you was doing this on a web host forget the XAMPP; and secure everything better than the standard install.

Note: Click images for clearer details - such as dates, names, descriptions, etc.

Now, the reason for this post. I was involved in a discussion last night and the topic came up of a certain admin of a forum changing things. Some involved in the discussion suggested that if anything was changed then the post would show an "edited by" statement.

I explained as the admin you can do it without it showing; which some did not believe. So this post shows how to change things without it showing. Which also shows why nothing on a forum can be taken to be true.

Firstly, in SMF, I created a post predicting various things which I knew would happen:

Nothing groundbreaking there; as all events were known when the post was created.

I then went in to phpMyAdmin

This is the database running behind SMF. The table in the database is smf_messages (although called messages it is posts; and private messages is called smf_personal_messages). In the above screen shot you will see a field called poster_time; this is the time the post was created.

Most wont realise that 1329487838 is what is commonly called a 'unix timestamp' and actually means Friday, February 17, 2012 2:10 PM.

So to amaze the world all you need to do is actually change the poster_time field to an earlier date; I chose Friday, December 31, 1999 11:59 PM.

Now we have something pretty amazing looking. Anyone stumbling across the forum will think that in 1999 I predicted the 4 events with pinpoint accuracy; even though I didn't.

I then went through the procedure with phpBB3 doing the same thing.

Note the only differences are the table is phpbb_posts and the field is post_time. I changed it this time to Saturday, July 7, 2007 7:07 AM.

Only 2 years (almost) before the first prediction; but still anyone stumbling on it would think it pretty cool that it was predicted so accurately.

And that is the point. Just because it is on a forum doesn't make it factual.

Unfortunately it doesn't stop there. In the discussion from the previous night private messages were mentioned. And once again I was the bearer of bad news and said if you don't trust the admin then don't use private messages.

Here, briefly, is why.

The message was composed like any other private message. But when the admin logs into phpMyAdmin they see everything; and can change everything also.

The admin sees the message, sender, recipient(s), subject, and time sent. And yes, you guessed it, the admin of the forum can change all of those without anyone knowing; except maybe the original sender if they pay enough attention. But then how does the original sender prove it was changed; surely they didn't bother to screen grab the message composition.

And the same thing can happen in SMF.

Now people can believe this if they want. But if you don't believe it download all the software needed and try it out for yourself. After all it is better to investigate these things than just take a person's word for it.

If you are going to try it out for yourself the online timestamp converter comes in handy; and can be found here.

Note: All of the above was completed in an insecure test environment; but can be completed just as easily on a live database/forum setup.

Front Is Who?

I was asked to do this post. So here it is.

The image below was originally just thrown up over at my TwitPic account; and can still be seen there.

Which was accompanied by the following text:

"MJDHI members wake up! ... Front posts "Front has stated many times" ... Surely Front would post "I have stated many times" ... When are the MJDHI members going to wake from the mind games; or is the truth not important enough that they will continue the masquerade because they foolishly believe in the BS???"

Then someone on Twitter sent me a direct message asking if I would put it up on the blog as a lot of MJDHI members seem to go there. So here it is.

I will, while I put it up, expand on my comment that accompanied the image which is a screenshot for the 'official' Back & Front thread over at MJDHI. The screenshot, was grabbed from the forum and, can be seen by anyone that goes there. If you enlarge the screenshot (by clicking it) the problem becomes clear.

In a post, that was posted allegedly by Front, it clearly states: "Front has stated many times". Why would Front ever refer to himself in the third person? Surely the correct method to reiterate that a person, themselves, has said something before would be "I have stated many times"?

Now I know the MJDHI members who read this are going to disagree; and suggest that Front merely put it to emphasise that it was something they have said before. But that doesn't work unless Front thinks that the MJDHI members are stupid and cannot realise that when Front uses the term "I" they are obviously referring to themselves. Hey, if you want to argue that Front spoke in the third person for a reason you need to back it up with some form of rational argument.

But that is not the biggest issue. After posting the original image I wondered about something else.

With Front obviously being someone else on the forum (you can work that bit out for yourselves by asking the Admin) then the validation of Front from TS is actually invalid; and ultimately worthless.

Because if Front is not who they say they are, which is pretty clear, then TS validates a fraud - making TS a fraud; or at the very least wrong about Front.

Now, the MJDHI members who read this are going to start with the "Why do you care? If you don't believe it then don't read it" argument. And to be honest I couldn't give a flying fuck who people think TS, Front, or back are. And I would not have done this post if not requested by a friend.

And why did the friend request it? Because they feel that some of the younger members of the forum might actually be buying into this bullshit; which since Fuhrer Souza found religion is turning into some sort of fucking Charles Manson wannabe cult.

Me personally, I just think that all the members should just keep their eyes open; and decide for themselves. If you want to buy into the bullshit then so be it.

So this post is dedicated to friendship; but at the same time as the Kottonmouth Kings say: "Think 4 Yourself".

E-Books Coming Soon

Doggy Productions (aka the person who does this blog and not a real company) will release 2 e-books this year. Both e-books are concerning the Michael Jackson death hoax; well more what has been happening behind the scenes since June 25, 2009.

Although at present there is no confirmed release date for either e-book; details for both are already confirmed.

The first e-book is entitled "Dead: Did A Lack Of Investigating Kill The Hoax?". This will be the first e-book released this year and is written entirely by me. The fact it is written by me alone is why there is no release date set in stone; as I have to fit it in around life, work, and other things.

The premise of the e-book is looking at what has gone wrong in the hoax; and why it is in the state that it is in.

The second e-book is entitled "Inside MJDHI", Which is not being written by me, and will look at MJDHI from the inside - from the point of view of an ex-moderator.

Using clear screenshots, of the forum, chat, and other sources it will provide insight that only someone who was part of it can have. It will chronicle the backstabbing, the lies, and the deception that has taken the forum from an investigative forum to what is considered by many as a mere joke.

I am collaborating on this e-book; adding humorous commentary and assisting with screenshots and information from the forum databases. This e-book release is pretty much out of my hands as far as a date goes as the majority of it is being created by someone else.

Both e-books, when ready, will be available for FREE download, and will be announced, here once they are completed. Also the release of each e-book will be announced on Twitter from the @d0gg1e account.

See You In 4 Years ... Maybe

This idea may have been discussed elsewhere. If so I don't remember seeing it exactly anywhere. But if it has, my apologies for repeating something already discussed.

In the footage from "This Is It", which was supposedly filmed up until June 24, 2009; Michael Jackson is quoted as saying "We have four years to get it right." Now admittedly at the time he was speaking about the Earth's destruction and stopping it. But was he?

I know previously it has been discussed, by others, that this somehow tied in with the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world.

Those previous discussions fail on two counts. Firstly 2009 plus 4 years would give a year of 2013; which would be one year late. Secondly, the Mayan prophecy is not a prophecy. December 21, 2012 is the end of an era in the Mayan, linear, calendar. Some scholars dispute the accuracy of December 21, 2012 due to the fact of changes in the calenders used by the western world.

But what if, and it is a hypothetical if with no real basis outside pure coincidence, Michael Jackson's statement about 4 years was a message to Conrad Murray; to complete his part in the hoax?

The idea is slightly out there as ideas go. And in all honesty coincidence is the most likely answer; more than anything else. But as a hypothetical theory only the idea has a sound basis.

Sometime in June 2009 - Michael Jackson makes a statement about 4 years. Nowhere else does is this statement made by Michael Jackson. Yes, he made statements about saving the planet but never with any sort of timescale.

June 25, 2009 - The hoax plan is put into action.


October 28, 2009 - This Is It is released in theaters.


September 27, 2011 - The trial of Conrad Murray starts; where he is charged with the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.


November 7, 2011 - Conrad Murray is found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.


November 29, 2011 - Conrad Murray was sentenced to 4 years.


October 28, 2013 - Conrad Murray's expected release date (not taking into account an appeal, or time off for good behavior) (which is also the 4 year anniversary of the release of This Is It).

So here is the theory, which really has no basis other than coincidence.

Michael Jackson and Conrad Murray had discussed the hoax and at some point had enlisted the help of Ed Chernoff for the legal aspects. Conrad Murray gets 'cold feet', even though the expected pay-off is more than enough to set him up for life; and needs a little convincing. Knowing that "This Is It" will be released after the hoax has been pulled off Michael Jackson throws the 4 year bit in as a reminder to Conrad Murray of why he is going through all the hassle of being classed as 'the man who killed the King Of Pop'.

Admittedly, as theories go, it has no sound basis; and as previously stated relies heavily on coincidence. But there are a couple of facts which can be tied in with the theory.

As stated before, why mention 4 years? It does not tie in with all the apocalyptic predictions that the world will end in 2012.

In the transcript of the L.A.P.D. interviewing Conrad Murray on June 27, 2009, with Ed Chernoff present, it does appear that Ed Chernoff knows a lot more about medical terms relating to the case than he should after only 2 days. This is only odd, as he has never completed a medical court case like that presented to him through Conrad Murray.

Also, and finally, why did Conrad Murray feel it necessary to make a documentary? Was it merely so that the 'whole' hoax is documented. Which does somewhat tie in with why all the rehearsal footage was hot in High Definition. A full history of the hoax.

So there you have it. A theory with no basis, and a little bit out there, that relies solely on coincidence and supposition.

The Cult Of Dog

It seems any crackpot, crackhead, or just plain weird person can start a religious cult on the back of the Michael Jackson death hoax. So without further ado I present "The Cult Of Dog".

The Cult Of Dog is based on nothing from the Bible but the one passage:

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and her angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Dutchie, and Souza, which deceiveth the whole world: she was cast out into the earth, and her angels were cast out with her." (BITT Revelation 12:7-9)

You will notice that the above passage is not in any other Bible; other than the Believe In Thinking Translation; which is owned and copyrighted by The Cult Of Dog. This Bible is based on the King James Version; and then just altered to fit particular beliefs.

The first thing that is noticed in the BITT Bible is that there is no God. This position has been taken by Joe Jackson's father; Samuel Jackson. Who creates Joe and Katherine to populate the world; and give the world the one true saviour Michael Jackson. Another thing usually noted is that the character Jesus Of Nazareth has been replaced by Michael Of Indiana.

The BITT Bible has also dropped the whole of Psalms. Replacing it with the book of Tracks - which lists all of the tracks of Michael Jackson.

Another thing instantly noticed by biblical scholars is that the traditional ten commandments have been replaced. They read as:

• I am the King of Pop, which have brought thee out of the land of Country music, out of the house of Opera.
• Thou shalt have no other pop idols before me.
• Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of me, without the consent of the MJ estate.
• Thou shalt not bow down to false pop idols; such as Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, or Miley Cyrus.
• Thou shalt not take the name of the King of Pop in vain.
• Remember the time. Six days shalt thou labor but the seventh day is party.
• Honor thy father and mother; unless your father be like mine.
• Thou shalt not kill my songs at karaoke.
• Thou shalt not commit adultery or you will be forever known as Jermaine.
• Thou shalt not steal my music in MP3 format.
• Thou shalt not bear false witness against Conrad Murray.
• Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's platinum, gold, and silver discs.
• These are the words of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. Let them be known to every hoaxer.

Another thing often noticed by biblical scholars is that Mary Of Magdalene has gone and is replaced by Lisa Marie Of Memphis. There is talk of a separate church starting which puts Lisa Marie on a higher plain and also the founder of the Elvisite Nuns; this has not been confirmed yet so should not be considered canonical to the BITT Bible.

Every religion needs something which is a gray area. The King James Bible has the apocrypha. The BITT Bible has the "Writings Of Jermaine" which although very close to reality obviously attempts to alter the story in some way.

Another thing that every religion needs is beliefs; other than those outlined in the new ten commandments. Praying to Michael will only take place on social networks. You may chose who you wish to be your Michael Jackson. This is not blasphemy because the real Michael Jackson, after reading all the forums, spends his holy time checking Twitter and Facebook. It is however considered  blasphemy to openly pray on MySpace as nobody will ever see it.

That is kind of all the rules. As for everything else - if it is not mentioned in the Bible you are free to decide.

Taking a lead from the Manson family, and Charlie himself, it is expected for all members of The Cult Of Dog to mark themselves in some way. So nobody is hurt a pen marking will suffice.

Now, for my part. Every religion, no matter how crazy, needs a figurehead. So I will appoint myself as the first 'Pope-like' figure of The Cult Of Dog. Which is only fitting as I am the dog in The Cult Of Dog.

BITT Bibles will available in many languages and many formats real soon.

Amen.

Legal Notice: This whole post is nothing more than a satirical stab at the bullshit that is going on over at the MJDHI forum. It is merely a joke and not a religion. That is not to say that some religions are not jokes but that is a whole different post.
