Good Show! Raffles uses different names when in court?

Sure is in the right place at the right time.

As I said in response to your earlier comment, this is the sort of thing that people tend to dismiss as Conspiracy Theory at its worst.

But look at the washed up Jackson and Houston.

MUCH more valuable dead than alive.

With the licensing of their music for advertising purposes, in addition to sales to “grieving” fans, serious corporate profits are to be made.

That is always the dominant consideration in our world.

Keep up the good work!

“Whitney Houston Mystery: Michael Jackson and Whitney Had a Curious Friend in Common
By: Roger Friedman
HollywoodNews.com: Here’s the one person in the Whitney Houston story whose name you have not heard, and who has remained a mystery: a Dutch man from Amsterdam who goes by the name of Raffles van Exel. He is also known – in court records—as Raffles Dawson and Raffles Benson. He was on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in one of Houston’s suites when she died.”..

People might be inclined to dismiss your comment as paranoid conspiracy theory at its worst.

I think it shows more insight than that. Both Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson had racked up epic record sales.

Both were reaching (or had reached) the point where they could no longer perform effectively.

Michael Jackson was enfeebled during the rehearsals for his big tour, and many close to him feared for his health and life if he continued to push himself.

Whitney Houston had, by accounts, lost her voice, to a considerable extent.

Like Jackson, she was on the downside of her career, to say the least.

Like Jackson, she had drug habits that would have made dispatching her easy.

Like Jackson, she was worth more dead than alive, with powerful corporate interests standing to benefit from the energized popularity stemming from the tragic deaths of both.

Sony and Bertelsman/Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts were quick to join the hunt.

Remember, that we are talking about a great deal of money to be made by powerful corporations.

That treachery might enter into such affairs is one to be seriously pondered.

I would note that Houston mentor Clive Davis, who throws the annual Grammy party at the Beverly Hilton was employed as of 2002 by Bertelsmann, a proprietary firm of the German giant.

We looked at this in FTR #250.
