Madeleine McCann: The Tapas 7 Speak, Blonde Children In Morocco And Hashish
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN front page: “McCANN FRIENDS HIT BACK – FURY OF TAPAS 7. Pals: there is NO pact”
Say the McCanns dining party: “The police told us not to discuss our statement. We’ve always tried to honour this. We wish to state there is categorically no so-called pact of silence – or indeed anything secretive between us. Just the desire to assist the search. It is frustrating that the facts we have done as we were asked is till being looked upon as suspicious”
“COPS IN WINDOW PROBE” – Paolo Rebelo is looking at the window of the McCanns’ holiday apartment. “is this how evil Maddie snatcher struck?”
Four pictures:
1. “Rebelo pushes window
2. Net curtains rustle in breeze as the window swings open
3. Detective leans in
4. Team confer about possible escape route”
“Fund paid mortgage” – Some of the £1million Madeleine McCann “fighting fun”
DAILY MIRROR front page: “NOW THEY BELIVE US – Police finally accept Madeleine was snatched”
Portuguese police are looking at possibilities
Says a friend of the McCanns: “At last, after all these months, Kate and Gerry’s story is being believed. They are very encouraged by the re-enactment of Madeleine’s abduction and the police now accept their version of events”
A policeman climbs through a window. He passes out a “large bundle”
“MADDY ‘SPOTTED 10 TIMES IN MOROCCO’” – Says private detective Francisco Marco: “Several unconnected people have told us of the same girl with the same woman. She has shorter hair than Madeleine. But everything else matches”. Like her name?
“MORTGAGE FUND FURY” – Says Clarence Mitchell: “The fund exists to help them when living costs became difficult”
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – McCANNS USE FUNDS TO PAY MORTGAGE” – Two mortgage payments on their “£600,000” home
The Express leads with picture of Gerry McCann playing golf. Inset is a picture of Gerry McCann on a bicycle
“We’ve found a kidnapped blonde girl, but it’s not her” – A blonde girl in Morocco. She can speak English. She must have been kidnapped. Right?
Says Francisco Marco: “Blonde children are a valuable commodity in North Africa. They can be sold for huge sums and give prestige to families who buy them”
DAILY MAIL front page: “MADDIE FUND PAYS McCANNS’ MORTGAGE” – Mortgage repayments on their “£500,000” home. (How long before the Express and Mail start a heated debate on the value of the McCanns home and how that value has been affected by the story?)
Page 4: “Is she in the mountains? Investigators scour Morocco in the search for Madeleine”
Says the Mail: “In an extraordinary coincidence the detectives are reported to have already found an English-speaking blonde girl of about Madeleine’s age living with a local family”
How many more blonde children are in Morocco? And can we find them all?
DAILY STAR front page: “Maddie ‘alive in drug den’”
Page 7: “MADDIE’S IN MOROCCAN MOUNTAINS – Ten sightings with rich Arab”
Says Francisco Marco PI of the woman with the blonde child found in the Rif mountains: “My feeling is this woman is some sort of carer who is working on behalf of other people”
Says an “insider”: “It’s a very secretive country and the Rif mountains enjoy official protection because of the importance of the hashish production”
“McCanns in the clear – Portuguese police now believe Madeline was kidnapped”
THE TIMES page 13: “Police return to holiday apartment in attempt to solve Madeleine mystery”
Paulo Rebelo is inside the apartment. He walks to the beach. He passes Sergey Malinka’s home. He is on a road leading to the N125 main road
In Morocco, a 60-year-old woman is seen with a blonde child
“Funds for search used to pay mortgage on McCanns’ house” – The McCanns’ home is worth “460,000”
THE TELEGRAPH front page: “Police re-enact Madeleine night”
Page 17: Paulo Rebelo is at the Ocean Club. Says a source “close to the couple”: “Blonde children are a very valuable commodity in places like north Africa”

I think the McCanns have already shown they have the slipperiness to wriggle out of any fraud charges.
Spudgun’s video concentrated on why the McCanns are being protected from on high. This aspect is very disturbing and it’s easy to forget that they are and have been protected from significant British elite personnel.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:53 pm
”anal penetration” ?? What the fuck?
There is something seriously wrong with you people. There is nothing at all to suggest anything like that was happening to Madeleine. To the fucker who typed that suggestion, can i accuse you of doing the same?
WHY ARE COMMENTS LIKE THAT BEING ALLOWED TO REMAIN?
The moderator should sleep with one eye open allowing that sort of filth to be posted and then allowed to remain. Scumbags.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:52 pm
steveo…clearly you did. But keep up the good work debating the anti mccann spin.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:52 pm
we are being commented on by other forums
like Friends reunited connections lol
October 30th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
421 Thea. Except the portuguese guy in charge of this case now had previously blown open a paedo ring - one of whom as a very well known (in portugal) TV personality.
He doesnt strike me as the type to be involved in a cover up.
In that I pin my hope!

Hideki
When I said “you” in the last posting I naturally didn’t mean you personally.

It did occur to me that if you are a child abuser, you will automatically know all the tricks in the book to hide this fact. I would think therefore that if abuse was a factor in this case then the perpetrators would already have a plan concocted because they would have such plans all the time and planning would be their normal modus operandi.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
steveo…you miss my point(s). I have no intention of debating with you about the merits of who you register your domain names with. If it needs explaining then the point is lost on you.
And please I have registered enough domain names to know how its done.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
416 Stevo…or they would be suspects of a huge fraud.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
416. Not certain Stevo as I believe they are being protetcted from way up high because of another person or persons involved. I think what appears to be protection of the McCanns is really a a distraction from seeing the truth in this story. As UK officials protect the other person or persons who are vips in UK our attention is on the Mccanns. I even think maybe Portuguese officials are involved in this cover up and that each country is blackmailing the other over highly classified information or proof of something sinister involving UK eand Portugals’ elite.
This is why a lot of famous couples take a long time to divorce because they are both blackmailing one another until one of them submits to the others’ financial demands.

I disagree. I have a .co.uk and a few .coms with godaddy. I chose them for price and reliability. The Internet is global so it really makes no difference who does your hosting or where they are located.
Arizona is where the Godaddy HQ is based. When you buy a domain name, you can elect to make it private so the registrant details are not public record. This is normal to do this because if you buy the domain with a credit card, you don’t want your own home address to show as the public record. There’s nothing fishy with this at all.

WARNING: THIS POST HAS AN ELEMENT OF SARCASM IN THE LAST REMARK
384
Stevo Says:
“I laughed this morning when I read about the Tapas 7 saying there was no pact of silence. Firstly, they didn’t say it - Clarence did. Second…they didn’t actually SAY anything. ”
Of course they did not say anything — that is the pact of silence. If Kate and Gerry were as smart as they think they are, they would be just as silent as their friends. Instead, they blabber on and on, inadvertently revealing their vile characters, and debased morality.
Disposing of the body may have been a good idea, from their point of view — get rid of sedation evidence, anal penetration/ejaculation evidence, etc. Her death was a “disaster” indeed — but did she die immediately, or was she first in a coma? Why did Gerry ask several times for a priest? — before even contacting the police! Why?
Maybe because Gerry thought Catholic priests would surely be sympathetic?

If anyone in here makes a claim I would tackle them on it if only to clarify. Anyone who reads my posts knows that. But you don’t do you? You dive in feet first with assumptions.
You need to watch the movie: Under Siege 2: Dark Territory
Listen out for the line about assumptions. It’s you to a tee.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
now, you, stig, sit over here, you, stevo over to that corner. shusht. we have business to do here.

Interesting. For me, the idea that Madeleine is alive and well is excellent if unlikely. But, you know what would happen if Madeleine was found alive and well?
The McCanns would become HUGE celebrities and their payday would be immense. Stories, movies, books, etc. I don’t think I could stand it. What do you reckon?
October 30th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
A lot of people have brought up NDP (Narcissist Personality Disorder) Theory. Having no knowledge of this prior to the McCann case, I have been looking into it and it does explain quite a few things, from the behaviour of the McCann’s and their dysfunctional relationship to children, to the cult like behaviour of the friends and team, and even the behaviour of the press.
The following are observations made by Dr. Sam Vaknin,
(http://www.mental-health-today.com/narcissistic/transcripts.htm)
Question from saved:
If there are 2 narcissistic parents who together have 2 kids, would it make sense that one child might be treated as their “perfect God-like child” and the other would be treated with physical and verbal abuse, and treated like a trash dump?
Sam Vaknin
Yes, it is. Narcissists idealize or devalue people. They split people into “good, rewarding, satisfying” objects and “frustrating, withholding, bad” people.
They idealize any and every person - including their own children - if they believe the child can serve as a source of narcissistic supply (attention, adulation, admiration, affirmation, etc.)
If the child is perceived by them as a POOR source of supply - either because he or she is insufficiently submissive and obsequious or because the child is imperfect (sick, “stupid”) - they devalue the child.
A child that reflects poorly on the narcissist’s self-perceived perfection, brilliance, status, etc. - is doomed.
The narcissist lacks empathy. He is cruel. His children are on constant trial. Abuse is the penalty for any disagreement with the parent, criticism, or for being independent, an autonomous individual with own needs, wishes and boundaries.

272 Stevo
Yesterday, Stevo said this:
“In fact…it would be possible to do a credit search on the McCanns. Does anyone out there have an account with Experian or similar agency?”
Now, Stevo says this:
“Stig got a little hot under the collar yesterday because I mentioned a credit agency. Personally I think he’s closer to the McCanns than we think. If you touch a nerve with him, it really gets to him like you insulted him personally.
I agree that people in here shouldn’t be doing that kind of prying but as you commented”
Stevo didn’t just mention a credit agency, He asked if anyone had access to an agency that can do credit searches. If he wasn’t not openly advocating that someone with such access should do a credit search of the mcCanns, why did he bring it up?
Somehow, his two statements don’t seem to be delivering the same kind of message - and that is putting it as mildly as possible.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
steveo…. i have no suspicions of godaddy. But generally uk based web sites ie find madeleine will use uk based domain registrars, there are plenty of them. So why an anonymizing service in arizona. I merely referreing to co-incidences.
October 30th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
The photos of the re-enactment are open to a wide range of interpretation, aren’t they? For example, what if little hands can’t work the door knob but can slide the glass doors open? Theories are often tested in order that they can be discounted, not endorsed.

But what is Garth? Is he a Mccann?
Why is he so pro-Mccann?
He will not explain the blind faith he has in these fraudsters (yep, Im beginning to think thats just what they are, though initially giving htem the benefit of the doubt - though always believing them to be neglectful and suspect due tot he way they kept saying ‘incredibly loving’!

That Sol article is interesting. Even more so as it was written back in June. A lot of cadaver fluid has flowed under the Renault chassis since then.
I have just thought why the PJ haven’t charged the McCanns before now. Perhaps it’s because it’s never been done before. Has there been any other cases of foreigners implicated in the killing of their offspring in Portugal before? I doubt it. At least nothing on a scale like this. I would like to think the PJ are more concerned about dotting i’s and crossing t’s before they charge anyone.
I’m sure they have lots and lots of juicy evidence (pun not intended!).
