Editor’s Note: Famed psychic and metaphysician Dr. Andy Reiss says space aliens “are working behind the scenes to cap and repair British Petroleum’s ruptured oil well in the Gulf of Mexico” with advanced technologies that are not available to “primitive” Earth scientists. To top it off, he says the extraterrestrials – all from our solar system – “will render inert”  every drop of spilled crude that is laying waste to coastal economies and the environment itself.

Here, in his own words, in a world-exclusive Q & A interview with derekclontz.com, Dr. Reiss makes his case. Fact? Fiction? YOU be the judge.

DerekClontz.com: Dr. Reiss, the oil spill in the Gulf seems beyond human technology to repair in any reasonable amount of time. Is it possible that extraterrestrials might intervene on our behalf?

Dr. Reiss: Yes, but only because they have been called upon by the right humans, people such as myself –  and others – who have maintained communications with various ET ambassadors for,  in my case,  decades. Extraterrestrials from advanced civilizations  follow a policy of non-interference in the affairs or more primitive cultures (such as ours) except under the most extreme of circumstances – and even then, only when certain trusted members of the civilization express a need for help.

DerekClontz.com: If they will intervene, who are these extraterrestrials? Where do they come from – and when will they get to work on our behalf?

Dr. Reiss: Civilizations on Venus, Mars, Jupiter and its largest moon Ganymede, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are or will be involved. Each have some form of evolved life-beings in either surface or subterranean installations. And several extraterrestrial groups and federations maintain bases and colonies under our oceans, including the Caribbean, not far from the Gulf of Mexico, and, as most people are aware, under the North and South Poles.

Their work in the Gulf, to cap the ruptured oil well, started on July 4th, a symbolic date linked to America’s Independence Day.

DerekClontz.com: How do they intend to cap the well or otherwise stanch the flow of oil? And how long will take to finish the job?

Dr. Reiss: The job is likely to be competed in 60 to 90 days in our time, which is, by way of example and as a bit of trivia, just a few weeks in Venusian (Venus) Time. To accomplish the goal, space alien engineers will use advanced techniques to create a series of spheres, large air bubbles if you will, under the ruptured well. These bubbles, as they rise, will plug the hole from the bottom up. This will stop the flow of oil and make it possible for crews to permanently seal the well by restructuring the floor of the Gulf, like puttying over a hole in a wall, but on a larger scale using tools and technologies that we humans have yet to develop.

DerekClontz.com: Oil that has spilled and is now contaminating the Gulf of Mexico and coastlines, wetlands and beaches of several states – can the extraterrestrials disperse or otherwise eliminate the oil to minimize its environmental impact?

Dr. Reiss: Yes, absolutely – by a process called “molecular disassociation” that will render the oil inert and benign, completely neutralized and incapable of damaging the environment.

DerekClontz.com: Will they work behind the scenes, alone, or hand in hand with Earth scientists?

Dr. Reiss: Extraterrestrials can do the job behind the scenes with humans none the wiser and, more importantly, out of harm’s way. Earth technologies are too old-fashioned and dangerous to incorporate in any advanced well-capping plan. Earth scientists – a few – might be invited to observe, but they will not be allowed to participate.

DerekClontz.com: If they won’t be “going public”, why not?

Dr. Reiss: ETs with their advanced scientic methods and deep understanding of Nature’s hidden protocols and universal rhythms work best when they work alone without the “help” of humans. Just as President Obama wouldn’t ask a kindergartener to help him craft a national health care plan, extraterrestrials wouldn’t ask an Earth scientist – not even an Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking – to help them with such a tremendous undertaking as stopping an environmental disaster that could destroy the Gulf of Mexico, and perhaps even the Atlantic Ocean and humanity itself. If space aliens go public in any context, there is a real potential and possibility of global panic among rank-and-file humans, Joe Blows and Jane Does, who fear extraterrestrials as an affront to their religion. So, working behind the scenes is well advised and makes sense.

DerekClontz.com: Is President Barack Obama aware that extraterrestrials have offered to help us with the crisis? If so, what was his initial reaction? Is British Petroleum, the owner of the oil well that is leaking, know about potential extraterrestrial involvement?

Dr. Reiss: I have no inside information but I sense that both BP and President Obama are now or soon will be aware of extraterrestrial involvement, especially when they see the well plugged by air bubbles that BP and government scientists didn’t create and cannot explain.

DerekClontz.com: Your ideas are interesting to say the least. But, Dr. Reiss, how did you arrive at your conclusions that extraterrestrials have decided to cap BP’s ruptured well? You have mentioned that you are in contact with space aliens. Elaborate on that.

Dr. Reiss: Well, this is my theoretical viewpoint, based on my studies of extraterrestrials, my telepathic communications with them, and also what I intuitively sense to be true. As you know from our long professional association and personal friendship, I have been in constant contact with space aliens since 1959, when extraterrestrials from various civilizations, including Venus, began to contact me, making me a conduit for information they wanted disseminated on Earth.

I have personally experienced 29 close encounters and other paranormal phenomena with life-forms from six other extraterrestrial civilizations, with my last space alien visitation occurring in April, 2007 when a 3-foot creature appeared to me in my living room, floating in mid air beside a sofa.

DerekClontz.com: There are skeptics who will say extraterrestrials will not help us cap and clean up the oil spill because, well, they insist space aliens do not exist, or say, even if they do exist, they have no reason to help human beings. Your response … ?

Dr. Reiss: The skeptics are right – MOST  ETs will NOT intervene (only a few will). The reason? They do not like to meddle in our historical and technological development. In their view, humans are primitives “who have to grow up” and learn to take care of their own messes and also take care of one another, not as various nations of the world, but as a world united in support of the Family of Man.

Extraterrestrials know from their own experience that all civilizations have to work, and work hard, to bring each and every member of the group to a higher level of unity and understanding. Then, and only then, will extraterrestrials “go public”, as you put it, for everyone to see. To do so too soon could upset Earth’s development, and throw humanity off course. That is why they only allow certain bits of information to “leak” to the public. That is why in plugging the oil well, they largely will work behind the scenes.

DerekClontz.com: Can ordinary concerned citizens help in any way?

Dr. Reiss: Some contactees or ET-experiencers already are helping in a number of ways that non-experiencers and non-believers wouldn’t understand. Others, who keep an open mind, might find that they are called on to help in weeks and months to come, and by that I mean they may be contacted by extraterrestrials who will want them to help the advancement of humanity by training to communicate with space aliens telepathically, as I do, and also familiarizingthemselves with “the common language of all universal intelligences”, a mission that speaks for itself.

Doctors, drugs and natural medicines can help us recover from sickness and stay healthy. But when it comes to the ultimate healing tool, make no bones about it – the power of prayer is without parallel.

That’s the message we find in the Bible and other holy books. And clergymen have told us the same down through the ages.

Nature's Trust Practitioner's Series Herbs and Supplements

But now, for the first time in history, even medical doctors and self-professed “godless scientists” are singing the praises of prayer, not based on sentimentality or wishful thinking, but on solid clinical research.

Dr. Larry Dossey, of Dallas, Texas, is one of many professionals who have called attention to well-conceived double-blind studies that support the power of prayer as a legitimate and verifiable healing method.

The expert is so impressed – both by the healing miracles he has witnessed and the cold hard science that validates them – that he now lectures on the subject.

“To tell you the truth, the evidence knocks my socks off,” said Dossey.

“You see cases where people have some really terrible diseases. They get no treatment and yet the diseases go away when they are prayed for.

“And sometimes they don’t even know they are being prayed for.”

Mainstream studies have shown that patients of all ages and with all sorts of illnesses – even those that were thought to be terminal  – recover faster and more completely when heartfelt prayer is part of the healing process.

But you don’t have to be on your deathbed to benefit.

You don’t even have to be sick.

It is an established fact that people who pray are healthier and happier than people who don’t.

It’s not like it’s a hard thing to do. Anyone can pray – anytime, anywhere. In a place of worship, you can benefit from prayer with a group. At home alone, in your office, out and about in a natural setting, you can benefit from prayer in solitude.

The only requirement is that you actually take time out of your busy day to do it.

And when you do pray, a miracle of healing - or a miracle of understanding and acceptance - is sure to come into your life.

But don’t take our word for it. Try it and see for yourself.

DerekClontz.com readers: If you’ve experience a miracle of healing in your life, we want to know about it. And if you have a prayer you really like and find effective and comforting, we’d like to hear that, too. Write to me, Derek Clontz – or use the comment box at the end of this report.

THIS IS the horrifying photograph British Petroleum and President Barack Obama don’t want you to see – Satan’s evil image in a toxic oil plume rising up from the floor of a ruptured well on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.

Just what the picture depicts is a matter of conjecture and worthy of debate.

Leaked to derekclontz.com by a government source, it might be, as a BP executive who identified himself only as “Karl” put it, a “curiosity with no meaning whatsoever.

“It is not ‘The Devil’. It is not ‘Satan’. It is no different than somebody finding an image of Jesus Christ in a taco shell or pine board,” the source concluded in a tersely worded e-mail response to our questions.

“I have no further comment.”

To which a veteran Environmental Protection Agency investigator replied: “A curiosity? That’s what BP calls it?

“First let me say that I am a Christian. Second, let me say that I, as a Christian, take Satan seriously,” the source, who requested anonymity to avoid reprisals from her non-religious bosses, said in an unusually candid telephone interview from a field office in New Orleans

“Third, let me say that in my view, it is quite possible this image is a warning sign from a supernatural power – either directly from God or directly from the Devil – indicating that we, as humans, have overstepped our bounds in the pursuit of technology and material wealth, and now we’re in for some payback.”

One thing is for sure: BP and the President have enough explaining to do without having to deal with fears that in addition to millions of gallons of toxic oil, BP might have released a demonic entity from the bowels of Hell itself.

In fact, White House sources tell derekclontz.com that President Obama is “deeply concerned” that citizens “will misread this image” and begin to associate an environmental misstep with something apocalyptic or satanic.

That, he is said to have continued, “will have them clinging more than ever to their guns and their religion,” a statement surprisinglyly similar to one that got him in trouble with Christians and salt-of-the-earth Americans when he was campaigning for office prior to the 2008 election.

“Cool heads must prevail,” the sources further quote the President as saying. “But with an image like this out there, it’s not going to be easy to keep cool heads. People will be scared.”

It is believed that the photograph is a still image from a BP video that the company initially tried to keep under wraps.

An unnamed federal investigator is said to have isolated it while viewing what the government source called “miles of video” in an attempt to determine just how much oil is, in fact, billowing out of the ruptured well.

Both BP and the White House declined official, on-the-record comment, with a London-based BP press spokeswoman referring derekclontz.com to the White House – and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs referring our reporter to BP.

CLERGYMEN, scholars, futurists and even ancient prophets agree: The years 2009-2011 will mark the beginning of a cataclysmic end to life as we know it, paving the way for a stunningly different world on January 1, 2012.

“If you think it’s going to be business as usual, if you think anything is going to be like it is today, you’re not only dreaming, you’re wrong,” Derek Clontz, a writer, author, herbalist, futurist and, some have said, although he doesn’t like the label, “psychic,” told a gathering of scholars, journalists and laymen at the second annual “Conference of the Future” in Atlanta, Georgia.

“On a high note,” he continued, “the changes aren’t all going to be bad. But if you aren’t quick on your feet, if you don’t have faith that a Supreme Being or Guiding Force is orchestrating these changes for the benefit of mankind, you are in for a rude and perhaps terrifying shock.

“The world as we have known it is vanishing before our eyes, and one thing is clear: The new world will belong to those who are wise enough and courageous enough to see that changes must come if mankind is to have even a ghost of a chance of surviving to experience the dawn of the Fourth Millennium 1,000 short years from now.”

Derek Clontz

Clontz, who hails from Charlotte, N.C. and now calls Florida’s West Coast home, addressed the group in a spellbinding keynote speech that drew from prophecies and predictions offered up by a diverse group of clergymen, scientists, futurists and even ancient prophets – one of whom scratched his vision of the changes we are facing today on a papyrus scroll 2,300 years before the birth of Christ.

“The most dramatic and frightening of the events to come will be the dissolution of the United States,” Clontz explained.

“I am sure that Americans see just how imperiled the country is, riddled as it is with crime, corruption and even more importantly, the steady decline in morals and values that we are experiencing throughout the Western world.

“What I am not so sure of is whether they have a sense of the depth of the problem, of the extensiveness of the decay.

“I find quite the consensus among a variety of thinkers, most notably from the ranks of clergy, many of whom are convinced that global changes will be preceded by the sudden, total collapse of the U.S. – both as a country and as a force for good in the world.

“I must emphasize,” he continued, “that we aren’t “fortune-telling’- nor are we trying to read God’s mind in an attempt to determine in advance when the end will come. All we’re doing is discussing theobvious signs of change that Providence has chosen to warn us with.

“The future, as always, is formed in the present. Should you wish to ponder the future and prepare for the future, all you have to do is open your eyes and see the future.”

Here are some of the more spectacular predictions Clontz and his colleagues have made for the turn of the Millennium – and beyond. Each item is attributed to the author. A brief biographical statement to identify the author is included where appropriate.

1. The social, political and economic collapse of the United States and other world powers is likely within weeks or months after the dawning of the New Year on Jan. 1, 2012. Look for an extended period of anarchy – and all the terror and madness that anarchy entails.

Also expect to see order slowly but steadily restored under vastly different political systems than are in place today.

Clontz, who makes this prediction himself, believes the “re-creation” of the U.S. will be accomplished not by federal government and troops as they exist today – but instead, by churches, militias and other intensely patriotic groups that will establish a loosely-knit collection of independent “republics” – not unlike ancient Greek city-states.

“These republics,” he noted, “quite likely will stand alone politically but cooperate in matters of trade and national defense.”

He bases his prediction on his belief that “Americans, as fiercely independent as they are, will band together in small groups to preserve what is left of their freedom and standard of living by any means. I am convinced that Americans have soured on a paternalistic national government that is beyond the scope of their reckoning and literally out of their control.

“When rebuilding this country following the anarchy and madness that follows in the wake of its collapse, those citizens who are left and who are able will resurrect America as an aggregation of small, highly democratic ‘mini-states’ where everyone will be accountable, not to an unwieldy and immoral national government, but to their communities, their neighbors and their friends.”

2. As Americans struggle to re-create themselves and their country, Europeans do the same. Bitter skirmishes among ethnic and nationalist groups competing for scant resources that remain after global collapse threatens to rage out of control. Lack of money and supplies keeps them somewhat contained. Still, millions die, either from warfare or simple deprivation, Maurice Delacourt, the French futurist, predicts.

“Europeans will manage to rebuild but you can expect to see many more ‘nations’ than you see today,” he continued. “I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see 80 to 100 almost ‘tribal” groups vying for land, resources and recognition in the aftermath of what I call the Great Collapse of Western Civilization.

“In that regard, wars and rumors of wars will likely rage for decades to come. As happened following World Wars I and II, I would think that no real stabilization will occur until the United States recovers to the point where it can offer significant economic aid and even political and constitutional guidance.

“It is quite conceivable that this ‘New Europe’ will be modeled on the smaller social and political units that are likely to make up the ‘New United States’”

Clontz seconded Delacourt’s predictions, but with a qualifier: “I believe U.S. aid to Europe, while certainly forthcoming, will be quite selective, with U.S. monies being funneled exclusively to European states that share old-fashioned American ideals of freedom and personal responsibility and are willing to embrace both Christian and politically-conservative ways of life.

“I seriously doubt we will see anything approaching current levels of tolerance and liberalism in the West.

“In fact, I believe that most Westerners, Americans in particular, will blame the collapse on liberal policies and the welfare state.”

3. The most terrifying conditions following collapse will be seen in the Middle East, where limited but still devastating nuclear war will break out “in what will appear to be a scene straight from the Book of Revelation, perhaps in the coming year but under no circumstances later than December 2011,” Rev. Marc Clement, the ultra-conservative Belgian evangelist, predicts.

Again, limited resources – including short supplies of nuclear weaponry – stop the war short, but you can still expect to see several million deaths and almost incomprehensible devastation.

Ironically, after the smoke clears, the Middle East remains much as it is today, says Rev. Clement – with one astonishing exception: The diverse peoples of the region will lay down their arms and their prejudices and live together in peace.

“Many people will wring their hands and gnash their teeth thinking the war in the Middle East is the beginning of Armageddon,” said Rev. Clement.

Interjected Clontz, “In fact, it will be the end of Armageddon, which is the battle we think we have been waiting to fight but actually have been fighting since the beginning of the 20th Century.

“Armageddon is drawing to a close, and it will, in fact, be over and won shortly after the smoke of nuclear bombs clears in the Middle East. So you see, a great and glorious day is coming. And many of us will survive to see the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

“But I don’t believe the Kingdom will simply descend from the Heavens with angels blowing trumpets and singing to God.

“I believe the Kingdom is something we will build with our own hands after God has washed humanity and all the Earth clean of the evils of Satan and of men.

“That cleansing is the moral and social collapse that will culminate in all-out war in the Middle East.”

4. Christ will return to Earth – if He hasn’t already (see Derek Clontz blog, Jesus Christ appears in Nigerian hospital) – to lead mankind in the reconstruction of Earth according to Divine Plan beginning on New Year’s Day or shortly thereafter in the year 2011.

This prediction is almost universally subscribed to by a staggering variety of thinkers and experts . . . even non-believers, Dr. Charlotte Mills, the English author of the forthcoming book, You Don’t Have to Believe to Believe, said.

“True believers are convinced that Christ will return in physical form to establish Heaven on Earth and they might very well be right,” she explained.

“On the other hand, I find non-believers, including many scientists and intellectuals, who will concede that even though they are agnostic or atheists, they don’t doubt that Christ – or the love of Christ – will bring dramatic changes to planet Earth just a few years hence.

“This might sound like a contradiction, but when you think about it, the position makes sense and can be scientifically defended.

“These non-believers are merely recognizing the power of Christ as it resides in the minds and hearts of so many hundreds of millions of true believers around the world.

In effect, they are recognizing that the love of Christ can accomplish miracles and fulfill Bible prophecy all on its own.”

Added Clontz, “Of course, nobody has to rely on intellectuals and scholars to justify their faith – and faith’s implicit “call to arms” to accomplish good and great deeds in the world.

“Believers know what believing is – and there can be little doubt of the great things belief will bring following the disasters that so many foresee as occurring within the next few years.”

“I don’t think there’s any question that we are living in the most exciting time in all of history and I, for one, am grateful to be here,” he continued.

“I also believe that each and every one of us is here, now, for a very special reason. In that regard, I encourage everyone to reach out and embrace our fellow humans every day. We are, after all, in this together.”

In the Q & A that follows Michael Jackson confidante Cassandra Gretchen-Sims answers the Top 10 Michael Jackson Questions that every fan wants answered – and she does it in a format that is easy to read and respond to.

Michael Jackson is alive and well, says close friend.

As visitors to this blog already know, when Ms. Gretchen-Sims originally offered to answer questions from MJ’s fans, she was flooded with thousands and thousands of letters, many asking the same questions repeatedly.

To help readers cut to the chase, here are 10 frequently-asked questions that we think are important to all fans based on our review of letters sent so far:

1. Is Michael REALLY alive? Cassandra says: “Yes.”

2. Why did Michael fake his death? Cassandra says: “Michael was under enormous pressure at every turn: from fans, from hangers-on, from business associates and also, sadly, from his many enemies and haters, both inside and outside the media. After 50 years, he was exhausted, weak and, as everyone knows, had turned to prescription drugs. He realized he couldn’t go on that way and needed time and space to rest and recover.

3.  Does MJ’s family know he faked his death? Cassandra says: “Michael does not want to discuss his family in public. But all fans know he is a wonderful son and a wonderful father – he would never do anything to hurt his family. If you think about that, the answer to this question will be clear to you.

4. Did Michael plan his death hoax for a long time? Cassandra: “Yes, Michael made his plans well in advance.

5. Will Michael return or stay in hiding? Cassandra says: “Michael’s intention is to come out of hiding in June 2010 and embark on a world tour that will  eventually will include every inhabited continent and many, many countries. The tour will last for years, unfolding at a pace that doesn’t exhaust Michael or threaten his health.

6. Are there 33 clues in his This Is It movie that explain why he faked his death and went into hiding? Cassandra says: “Michael says ‘yes’. Fans have already found many of the clues, and I’m just another fan. Michael won’t even give me hints! But he does say, ‘If you look you will find them.’”

7. Did Michael attend his own funeral? Cassandra says: “Not in person, but he watched it via closed circuit.”

8. Did Michael help with the production and edits of This Is It? Cassandra says: “Yes.”

9. Isn’t Michael concerned about how much sadness his death hoax has caused fans? Cassandra says: “Michael loves his fans and would never do anything to hurt them. He is aware of the sadness, but as he puts it, ‘There was no alternative. If I hadn’t done this, I really would be dead. This way, I”ll be back.’”

10.  Isn’t faking your death illegal? Isn’t Michael afraid he will get into trouble? Cassandra says: I’m not a lawyer, but I can say this – Michael is a powerful man, a wealthy man. He doesn’t behave rashly or without thinking and planning. He did what he felt he had to do. If there are consequences, legal consequences, he will deal with them with accordingly.

Note to readers: Cassandra will answer your questions going forward, but there are restrictions to the way you can ask them.

We appreciate your patience!

Contrary to what you might think, the “average American” adult isn’t a married church-goer with a dog, a cat,  2.5 kids and a home in the suburbs. Instead, if you choose to believe a blistering new White House study, he or she is a:

Barack Obama commissioned the "average American" study.

o Bed-hopping sex nut who does the wild thing 4.2 times a week with three different partners who may or may not include a spouse.

o Big drinker who knocks back 12 icy beers, a bottle of wine or eight stiff cocktails every day of his or her life.

o Thief who pilfers something from a friend, family member, store or the office two times a week.

o Liar who stretches truth to the breaking point 14 times a day.

o Office slave who earns just $22,000 a year.

o Debt slave who’s salted away just $100 in savings while running up his or her credit card balances to $23,000. Additional debt includes an auto loan of $242,000, a mortgage of $167,000, and a second mortgage of $100,000. The grand total? A whopping $290,000.

o Victim of at least two sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes, hepatitis C or the virus that causes genital warts.

o Pitiful daydreamer who thinks an SUV in the driveway and closet full of unused sports equipment puts him or her in league with the sports stars and adventurers they watch on TV.

o Sofa spud who blows six hours per day in front of the boob tube on weekdays, 10 hours on weekends.

o Tubbo who is 37 pounds overweight – and gaining.

o “Fair weather” Christian or Muslim who claims to be a true believer but seldom goes to church or a mosque, never reads the Bible or Koran and only prays when he or she desperately wants something, such as money to pay a utility bill or a roll in the hay with that gal or guy sitting at the end of the bar.

o Divorcee who sees his or her children just twice a year, and who’s also had two live-in failed love affairs without benefit of marriage.

o Jailbird who’s been charged with 2.5 crimes.

o Complacent, self-satisfied clod who’s read just one book in the past 10 years.

o Politically inept “know nothing” who forms strong but short-lived and confused opinions while listening to talk radio in the car.

And that’s just the tip of an iceberg of unsavory behaviors that are “the new American way,” the study conducted for President Barack Obama by the National Foundation for a New America, a left-leaning think tank, reveals.

“It’s not a pretty picture,” conclude the authors of the study, “but the numbers don’t lie. The average American isn’t what he used to be – middle class, upwardly mobile, and deeply religious.

“In the new millennium, Joe Blow and Jane Doe are Jerry Springer rejects, not stupid and ridiculous enough to make the show – but close.”

As we prepare to welcome our millionth visitor for the year, I’d like to toot our horn and tip our hat to our large and growing global family of readers.

Your World Report editor Derek Clontz gives This Is It two thumbs up as, quote: “a jaw-dropping … no, make that spellbinding double-dose of must-see genius from Michael Jackson and Kenny Ortega.

This Is It: See it.

This Is It: Friend of Michael Jackson insists it is peppered with 33 visual and spoken hints and clues that will prove the pop star faked his death.

Thirty-three visual and spoken clues in Michael Jackson’s “posthumous” movie This Is It will reveal how and why he faked his death and when he will come out of hiding, a source close to the King of Pop reveals.

And we’re asking you to help us find and publish them for all the world to see.

Simply post the clues that you find using the comments box on this blog.

You – and we – will then be able to evaluate them together, as a global team, and get to the bottom of the MJ mystery that has gripped billions of men, women and children since he disappeared last June.

Cassandra Gretchen-Sims, who claims to be in contact with Jackson, says he told her that the clues appear “throughout the movie” and “about half”  of them will be delivered by Michael himself.

Doing the math, that leaves some 15 to 19 that will be offered up by inanimate objects such as props, costumes, scenery and equipment or other people in the movie, Gretchen-Sims confirms.

“Michael is playing things very close to the vest,” Gretchen-Sims told derekclontz.wordpress.com. “

“He has made it clear on several occasions that the movie, as he put it to me, ‘will explain everything’.

“I asked him to tell me more, but he just chuckled and said: “Remember the number 33. There are 33 clues and anybody who finds them all will understand everything – why I am in hiding, when I will come back, and how my fans can help me change the world from a place of pain and anger and hatred to a place of love and caring and beauty.’”

Gretchen-Sims says Jackson “mischievously declined” to say more, ” but in an unrelated conversation “let it slip that “about half ” the clues will be found in his dance moves, song selection, answers to interview questions and facial expressions.

“He also said, ‘You’ll have to watch the movie from start to finish and pay close attention to find them all.”

Gretchen-Sims has played a controversial role in Jackson’s “post disappearance” drama by insisting that she was hand-picked by the superstar to act as a conduit between the performer and his fans.

If that seems farfetched, and to some it does, investigations suggest that she, indeed, has no financial interest at stake and that she is operating in good faith as a personal favor to MJ.

Editor Derek Clontz, who gives This Is It two thumbs up as, quote, “a jaw-dropping, no, make that spellbinding double-dose of must-see genius from Michael Jackson and Kenny Ortega – a stunningly powerful and beautiful documentary guaranteed to give you goosebumps, bring a tear to your eye and leave you surer than ever that MJ was, indeed, a uniquely talented performer of uncompromising brilliance” – offers up his own take on clues hidden in the movie:

1. The words “Love Lives Forever” that flash on the screen at movie’s end, when Michael is frozen in motion with his arms stretched out, looking not unlike a Christ-figure on an imaginary cross, suggests a death, then a “resurrection” … a “comeback” if you will.

2. There is a scene in the movie in which a young girl races to save the last living plant in a rain forest from being ground under the scoop-and-tracks of a bulldozer, risking her own life to do so. Symbolically, the girl might represent fans and the plant, Michael. The bulldozer, in that context, could be the pressures of celebrity life that threatened to overwhelm and destroy him.
