Bodyguard claims he is Blanket's dad
Thursday, April 19, 2012
Martial arts master Matt Fiddes - who provided protection for the Thriller hitmaker when he was in the UK - is heading to the US to lodge court papers and demand the right to see 10-year-old Blanket, whose birth name is Prince Michael Jackson II. Fiddes claims to have given Jackson - who also had two other children, Prince Michael (15) and 14-year-old Paris - a sperm donation in a London hotel a year before Blanket was born in 2002.__He said: "I am going to lodge my DNA and formally ask the Jacksons for access. I want visitation rights.__Michael is their father and I do not want that to change, but I want the child (Blanket) back in my life. The only way that's going to happen is through legal action. I think Blanket is mine but I want final proof."__ _Fiddes - who has vowed to provide officials with a DNA sample so they can confirm his claims - alleges Jackson's family have refused to speak to him or answer his letters since his death in 2009.
Fiddes, a father of three, says Jackson even told him he was Blanket's real father in November 2002, after he infamously dangled the then nine-month-old child over a hotel balcony.__Jackson said: "I sat there and asked the question: 'Is Blanket my child?' He said: 'He's my child, Matt, but I used your sperm to produce him'."__But Fiddes claims Jackson's mother Katherine (81) has done her best to block his desperate pleas to see Blanket believing he is after money.__Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 at the age of 50.

That this method, designed for small-scale, efficient purchases, now accounts for a staggering 25% (P8 billion) of total procurement value is not a sign of agility, but a 'red flag'. The PPRA’s warning is unequivocal and must be...
