Madeleine McCann: Picture Perfect, The Last Million And Cancel Christmas
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
THE INDEPENDENT: “Madeleine McCann: The face that’s haunted us all for eight months”
How she stares…
“David Randall explains why the photographs of a missing child, her parents and a suspect have retained the power to mesmerise and horrify us”
“And then there is Madeleine. No other word or detail is needed. Before even the third syllable is spoken, there she is in your mind: the blonde hair, almost unbearably cute face, and impish grin; a haunting, indelible part of that arcade of awfulness which includes the faces of Sarah Payne, Holly and Jessica, and so on right back to the gaunt and startled faces of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley’s victims buried on Saddleworth Moor more than 40 years ago”
Looks matter. Madeleine McCann is blonde…
And there are Gerry and Kate McCann: “These were successful thirtysomethings from Central Casting. Whether it was walking down a street or going in and out of church, they were memorably – even, to some people, enviably – attractive: she clutching Cuddle Cat, both never in a mess, and never red-eyed or blotchy faced. But, as the year and the media-savvy ‘Find Madeleine’ campaign went on, there was something about this pair of health-conscious, neatly coiffed, always composed young professionals that aroused resentment in some quarters”
The middle-class doctors…
THE PEOPLE: “They’d cancel Christmas if they could.. EXCLUSIVE McCANNS FACE ‘HARDEST DAY IMAGINABLE’ DISTRAUGHT COUPLE WILL NOT GIVE EACH OTHER GIFTS MADDIE’S PRESENTS LEFT UNDER TREE WITH TWINS’”
MAIL ON SUNDAY: “Kate and Gerry McCann: We can’t face giving each other Christmas presents”
Media savvy…
“Kate and Gerry McCann will not be giving each other presents on Christmas Day.
They have agreed it would be inappropriate to celebrate between themselves when they spend the day at Kate’s parents in Liverpool.
“They have told friends they cannot face Christmas at home in Rothley, Leicestershire, although they have bought their two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie gifts and have decorated a tree in yellow tinsel, the colour of a safe homecoming”
DAILY STAR: “McCANNS’ NEW EVIDENCE PLEA”
Their renewed campaign was revealed yesterday after the couple broadcast an anguished appeal for the return of their missing daughter Madeleine”
SUNDAY EXPRESS: “The £1million raised to trace Madeleine McCann will run out early next year as her parents launch a last-ditched attempt to find the missing four-year-old”
And then..?
The Madeleine McCann story so far

Hi all
Just wanted to leave a message for Kate and Gerry and all the family circle at this special time of year. I realise how awful it must be for you to even contemplate Christmas without your dear daughter, but you are having to make the effort for the sake of your other children.
Keeping you all in my prayers, and thinking of you daily since this terrible event shattered your family.
May God give you all the strength to get through the Christmas period and may you find some answers soon. Hoping for only the best for you all and remembering you in my prayers until this situation is resolved and your daughter comes home
lots of best wishes

What the hang em high posse don’t have they invent. Non existent tennis bag, non existent clothing from house in devon, non existant 10th tapas diner, non existant statements attributal to sources close to, and of course non existant evidence.You could not make it up but the posse does, every single day.

REPLY: If some of the ‘evidence’ and scenarios conjured up wasn’t so nauseating , David, it would be laughable. This is a true ‘hang em high posse’ one reads about happening why back when people took justice into their own hands - a mob, holding torches, noose in their hands and marching to deliver their kind of justice. Of course, that scene just comes from movies, doesn’t it? Well, it does rather remind me of a black mark against the South over here when the KKK marched with torches, holding a noose to hang the Blacks. That was just 40 some years ago that was still going on, not to mention them shooting the Whites who went down South during the civil rights marches to help the Blacks.

Sounds almost as odious as a well connected, financially supported, middle class professional couple using their power, money and influence to hire hot shot lawyers, extradition experts and PR teams while they are “suspects” in an official police investigation into their own daughters disappearance. That sounds a bit too much like a movie too, doesn’t it?
______________
REPLY: I still can’t figure out if most of you think just because you are not guilty of a crime but become a suspect for a crime committed it is not necessary to hire a lawyer from the moment before you might be a suspect and police ask to speak with you. I’ll give you a good example of what happens if you don’t hire the best lawyer money can afford to buy you if you become a suspect in a crime.
There is that gentleman who is being released from our prison over here, who was sitting on death row for 20 years, coming back home to the UK. He was a suspect in killing his girl friend’s daughter and was convicted and sentenced to death. Two appeals were filed and both times his conviction was overturned but the state exercised their right to retry him and he was right back on death row. MANY people believed in his innocence and he never swayed from that stand he did not do it. Do you know why his conviction was overturned in his final appeal by the Appeals Court Judges? HE HAD AN INCOMPETENT LAWYER WHO DID NOT DEFEND HIM PROPERLY DURING THE TRIAL.
If a crime has been committed and the police ask you to come in they want to talk with you, trust me, it is not to talk about the weather and just chit chat with you. Anyone who is asked to come into a police station to talk with the police when a crime is being investigated is an absolute fool not to have a lawyer with them and I don’t care how innocent one may be. The moment you walk in there you are at the police’s mercy and their interpretation of how you act, what you say, if you are nervous, if you are calm, and at their badgering you if so inclined. I’m not drumming up business for good lawyers but let me tell you something if the police decide you are the ‘enemy’ best you have a good lawyer for a ‘friend” sitting there beside you.

That’s a jolly interesting story about an unrelated case. You could have found plenty of others too I know. The issue I have with your “story” is that has nothing to do with the actions of the McCann’s. It is always possible to find miscarriages of justice and I doubt such miscarriages are likely to cease in the future. That said, can it be taken to imply that the majority of criminals found guilty are in fact victims of miscarriages? Can it possibly indicate the McCann’s are any more likely than anyone else to become the victim(s) of a miscarriage, should this case ever go to trial? Of course not!
It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who post here, seemingly in support of the McCann’s, who can offer nothing better in their support than an unfortunate story from elsewhere that in fact has nothing whatsoever to do with the Madeleine case. You, and others like you, talk of a ‘hang em high posse’, and miss the irony that your shallow and transparent defence of the McCann’s is based on no more objectivity than the players in the extreme of the other camp that you criticise. You are both cut from the same cloth, you’ve just chosen opposite sides in the debate.
The reality is that you don’t need to be a member of the ‘hang em high posse’ to recognise that all is not as the McCann’s would have us believe and that it is not unreasonable for fair minded individuals to question the actions and motivations of the McCann’s, their friends and family in the events lading up to and since Madeleine disappeared.

Your obsession with attacking McCann-sceptics with increasingly graphic language - now comparing us with the KKK - makes you look desperate and, frankly, a tad unhinged.
Especially when - as is the case - you deliberately avoid engaging with the real issues we are discussing
___________
REPLY: That was an example of what a mob taking justice in their own hands can do. Only in the case of the KKK, as you know, they find Blacks inferior.
There are no real factual issues on here, TB, only theories and ‘must have beens’ conjured up in people’s minds and embellished upon. NONE of us know the true facts in this case - only speculations and some are quite ugly. You yourself have attacked the RC Church and the Seal of Confession and bringing them into the mess; you are now involved in studying photos and speculation about the real ages of each one; if there is just one little tid bit of anti-mccann written in the papers you are one of the first to post it on here; your ill will for the Mccannas is loud and clear in every posting you make, back up, conjure up or embellish further upon. Why would I engage in discussion with what you call ‘real issues’ on here with you all? Those aren’t real factual issues many are out right sickening and I’ve been astounded people would even put some of them in print for all to read. However, I will say what I want also. Further, I’m neither for nor against the McCanns - I’m waiting for the true experts who are paid to do their job to give me the real facts. Most of you and you included remind me of that old saying “you throw enough *shit against the wall maybe some of it will stick.”

“After much deliberation, and reading others’ views, I still vote for B [Madeleine is 3 yr. 7 mo. old in images] , notwithstanding the rather aggressive condemnation of my opinion by ‘Hideki’ yesterday.”
I think I merely wrote that IMO you are “way off” on this issue. By “way off” I simply meant “far off the mark” (in contrast to other issues regarding which I think you are “spot on”). Hardly seems like “aggressive condemnation” to me.
I still think you are wrong and ‘Pray For Little Soul’ is correct. I also disagree with PeterO’s comment that too many family members would know the fraudulent swapping of 2005 for 2006. The clips are brief shots and are very private. 2006 video footage may also have been edited in. However, Madeleine is not yet 3 years old in the images presented, IMO.

REPLY: Michael Shrimpton’s claims about the intelligence world need to be taken with more than a few pinches of salt. He may be a talented barrister on issues like the British constitution and weights and measures, but when it comes to intelligence, his more extravagant claims include:
1. The Irish potato blight in the 1840s was caused by an early form of Prussian biological warfare
2. Edward Heath was a paid German agent from World War II to his death, taking his instructions from Germans, and paid by a clandestine MI6-type agency called ‘DVD’ based in southern Germany
3. David Kelly (government scientist researching ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and who was held to have committed suicide) was murdered by Iraqi secret servcie agents.
Steer well clear

Thanks for the advise Tony. I don’t claim that he is correct or that his information is accurate, but it is interesting reading anyhow, and to me makes more sense than other theories, like for example of “two Maddies”.

METODO 3′S BILL SO FAR: 414,000 EUROS (approx £275,000):
BRITISH OR U.S. DETECTIVES MAY NOW BE HIRED
Correos de Manha - 2007-12-24
Expenditure: More than 1 million euros
McCanns spend rest of the fund
QUOTE
The Spanish company of detectives Metodo 3 is about to be relieved of investigating Maddie’s case,after having charged 414 thousand euros to the fund to find the four year old.
The detectives promised that they would solve the crime by Christmas, but did not show results. The McCanns want to spend the remaining 898 thousand euros on other researchers.
The newspaper ‘Sunday Mirror’ said yesterday that the firm of Francisco Marco, contrary to their commitment, no longer gives exclusivity to this case and it is working on another investigation. The family now wants to hire British or Americans detectives.
So a million and three hundred thousand euros from Maddie’s Fund were spend, nonetheless the millionaire Richard Branson promised to continue to help. The couple is considering books and movies to obtain revenue.

I apologise for this post being so lengthy and hopelessly off topic - but Santa asked me to provide you with a nice Christmas story. Unfortunately, nice stories are a little thin on the ground this year, so a fantasy-horror story will have to do…
‘Twas the night before Christmas and the Frater Superior was reviewing events. This was a time of year which lent itself easily to looking back, and, in the opinion of this profoundly powerful person, what an ennervating year it had proved to be.
Many would say, and were indeed saying with voices ever more clamourous, that the year had mostly been one of chaos and malevolence, sordid acts and base instincts.
Sat in his splendid study, the Frater Superior was seeing at first-hand, courtesy of his PC and various websites he had made it his weekly habit to visit, just how clamourous certain voices had indeed become.
Moving from the newsnow site to various newspapers, he headed for the loudest, angriest voices, which tended to congregate on the red top forums, plus the site called Anorak. Especially the site called Anorak. While he dismissed most of the posts as mere drivel, he knew the importance of this weekly act of discipline. One could pick up so many nuances and collective moods rarely captured in the bland typewritten briefings of forums activity sent to him by the various intlligence service monitoring units.
Slightly irritated, he realised he had already clicked through, almost with eagerness, to the site which was beginning to exert a strange pull - he sensed that here there was a collective force at work, somehow more structured than the others.
Even in his arrogance and conceit, a part of him wanted to concede that when they weren’t bickering and name calling, or following, herd like, some self appointed leader, the posters to Anorak were capable of real creative thinking, and often from far left field.
The same part of him whispered that it was from such areas of leakage that the only possible danger could ever arise - and that small part of him regretted how such a force as the world wide web could prove so difficult to contain. And control.
Again he wondered just how that particular genie had leapt from the bottle which such velocity even before any had foreseen the true threat - almost in one cyber bound enabling the world’s free thinkers and freaks the holy grail of instant, endless, uninhindered communication. Added to that, this particular lot had enough technical firepower and the knowledge to use it to fancy temselves as some kind of revolutionary cyber CSI and justice league rolled into one.
And this was just one forum on just one subject - in an ocean teeming with spontaneous interaction.
True, the Pentagon and the United Nations had, some years ago, been encouraged to begin the legalislative process of assuming control of the world wide web and, if necessary, shutting down targeted activity. But given the internet’s explosive exponential growth, he could see that more direct, dramatic action would be required, and soon.
Washington and Downing Street would, of course, acquiesce, after the usual basic spin. The media were airtight. Everything was as it should be.
Except…
He scanned through more theories, claims and exotic suggestions from the likes of Sleuth, and brandon flours, Yampster and Trismegistus.
What was happening here was tantamount to worldwide freedom of speech, questioning everything, showing hydra-like growth, and threatening to generate what could ultimately be a dangerous power. How had it happened?
Any sense of seasonal joy was strictly absent from the night before Christmas being endured by the Father, sitting hunched in his cold dormitory.
The strains of the Christmas Mass he should have been leading drifted intermittently from the church across the square - the same church in which he had walked innocently into an early summer encounter which had frozen him by its very evil.
He took another long gulp of communion wine, spilled it down his front, and wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his robe. He was so emotionally cold, his outlook so black that even shame could no longer register.
He was certainly in no fit mental or physical state to be conducting one of the most important services of the year. And what dark irony this night evoked. As the world celebrated the birth of a child, he was mourning a faith destroyed by the death of a child.
Broken of soul and unhinged of faith, the Father was way beyond reviewing any of the summer’s madness in any coherent way.
He had spent hour upon hour doing so in the weeks following the event which had triggered the great descent. A tragedy which, as those initial days began to swim into each other, created a heavy tension which then quickened with a stench of evil which seemed to grow ever more putrid.
His mind, numbed and detached, had long since left behind the endless replays of that moment when he had entered his church with a quietness fitting the solitude of the hour of four in the morning.
Except he had not been alone. The initial words of a softly spoken conversation had echoed into his mind before he could announce himself. And registering their meaning instantly, there was no way he was about to announce himself.
He stayed only for a few minutes, silent and rigid in the dark porchway, while down towards the altar the conversation continued. It was a coversation he wished he had never heard. Made up of words and meanings which made sense of so much which had for so long made no sense at all. A horrible sense.
His initial reaction hadn’t been to feel betrayal, or even anger at the way his good turn had been repaid - although those feelings were already lining themselves up for later.
It was a sense of utter alarm at the terrible thing with which he had involved his church. He had to reveal what he knew.
It was from this point that the Father’s world had begun to implode.
His initial attempts to express what he knew to his superiors brought nothing but silence.
Conversations which should have been straightforward became difficult and guarded. FInally he had been called to Rome and had undergone an audience which left him in no doubt that he could not reveal anything he might think he knew; nor could a posting to Spain or South America be allowed; and he must continue to fulfill his duties to his parishioners with as little fuss as possible. And that came from the very top. Capito?
Which had only compounded the Father’s abject despair. How could his church stand by and not intercede in this depraved tragedy? What power could be greater than that held by Rome in preventing what seemed such an obvious course of action?
As the chanting below faded into stillness, there could be heard a keening, raspy and dry. The Father was sobbing.
The Frater Superior savoured his excellent Chateau Yquem, its goldenness alive with the reflected flames of a hearty log fire, both glass and grate having just been replenished by his manservant.
He returned to his computer and Anorak, fascinated by the teeming psychobabblers caught in the great electronic net. Shoal-like, their thoughts and conjectures darted in zig-zags, often swimming so close to the real path to answers, and then flashing off elsewhere.
His eye was caught by a specific post:

Incorrect. Its about you maybe, but to me and many others who post here, its about a precedent being prevented - we cannot sit back and allow this appalling leverage of money and position to win. We have no other outlet than to share frustrations here - and possibly to do our little bit to make sure that the alternatives to the controlled media view get some ‘airing’.
At the very least we can let the people who post here blindly supporting their heros know that not everyone is blinded by money and politics and celebrity.
He barely surpressed a smile. What did these people know about true power?
Not mere political power or power of wealth - they were givens.
But real manifestations of actual power. Actual entities. The power to bend events and outcomes. A universal power, as old as the Atlanteans and way beyond that.
A power which many great people had encountered and interacted with through time - often to great benefit - but over which very few had truly effected any great control.
The great mentor and previous holder of the title Frater Superior X°, otherwise known as The Beast, had been one who had found such mastery. He had used the Golden Dawn and Freemasonry to create his religion, founded in the cradle of Egypt herself - the very place he had encountered a most powerful entity during sex magick rituals in a chamber of the great pyramid.
Ideally, The Beast was honeymooning with his new wife at the time.
It was she who was to go into a trance during a further honeymoon ritual, this time in a museum, delivering not only the new ‘bible’ of her husband’s developing religion, but also the number 666, which The Beast was to adopt and which, in his younger years, the present Frater Superior was to be instrumental in working into every barcode on Planet Earth - a thought which still aroused in him a glow as keen as that provided by the wine and the fire.
Sex magick, blood-letting, sacrifice, and symbols - the keys to power through the ages. Infinitly more powerful if such ceremonies involved virgin babes. There was no surer, more effective way of releasing forces which could lead to entire populations being subjugated and world events steered towards the glorious conclusion, as written and held secret through unending millennia.
The eyes of Frater Superior- not a man of the cloth but one of the world’s most powerful, and certainly most wealthy, political and commercial forces - was drawn to the word Illuminati in a post from some idiot writing under the name of Stevo.
This wasn’t even worth a smile.
He was aware that he and fewer than 50 others on this planet were indeed truly illuminated - they had the true knowing of where events were leading, events which they were bringing about, as had the chosen few through the centuries, under the grand scheme. These few soared at the very apex of everything - while far, far below, propping up the magnificent obelisk, in equally magnificent ignorance, were the Masons, the Templars, the Satanists, the clergy and the so-called world leaders, and, crushed beneath them all, the endless masses.
Even though these cyber posters, and even those in the lower degrees of the Order and those carrying out their will at the heart of governments, the church and the media, had a greater level of awareness, they were still unaware of the absolute true nature of things.
Their limited awareness was formed out of their basic hunger for power and wealth - always the two, hand in hand - which left them merely bottom feeding on self important ideas about controlling the media and finance, and lust and conspiracies, and making a difference.
But, if these people wanted answers, shouldn’t they have them?
And, incredibly, the Frater Superior began to type out his own post to Anorak, under the name Illuminated…
If it’s the entire truth you’ve all been searching for these many months, then here it is. If you can truly comprehend it.
There is a force at work on this planet, in the hands of a few special individuals, which exerts gear control over events. It’s not religion or even wealth and standing - it’s pure power, tangible in its potency and effects. A certain monarch once alluded to as much. So did a certain president.
This power is tapped directly by what is known as the dark arts or the occult, although both words fail to convey the true process.
To access power, certain rituals have to take place in certain settings at certain times. Because of their nature, these can give rise to controversies. But the grip of the few is more than equal to the thoughts and actions of the masses. The masses can be sent to sleep by the usual mixture of news management and confusion, followed by the standard weapon - delay. Twenty years for a full assassination inquiry? Ten years for an inquest? How long for any other major event?
Those not so easily distracted, and who stay the course, can ultimately be dismissed as cranks or rabid conspiracy theorists - just consider Mr Icke.
Which leaves those connected to the Order, and their associates, playing a role in events about which they have knowledge, but - quite literally - to a much lesser degree. I note that posters here speculate about the effect of one or more of these people feeling pressure to such an extent that they tell all. So what? More confusion, claim and counter claim is just grist to the mill as far as the ruling Order is concerned. Even at its most extreme conclusion, such a development would ultimately be passed off as just another terrible aberration in an otherwise ‘normal’ world. To us, this is a useful result, and those involved are eminently dispensible.
The point you are missing is that there is a big picture.
It starts with ritual. It can lead to controversy. If the procedures are accurate enough, it can sometimes trigger massive public attention, hand-wringing and outpourings. It can truly assume a power which affects very consciousness of populations. And that is the point. A ritual isn’t for self importance or to acquire wealth, or to serve lust and self indulgence - it’s a true, accurate manifestation of power which is set loose in the world to bring about specific results. The wider the initial act spreads its force, the more powerful are those results.
We few know the truth of what those ultimate results will be. But to develop that theme further would be to take this Christmas Eve story, aleady well beyond the realms of fantasy, into unchartered universes.
I will, however, leave you all with one final thought. Just consider a pure act of power which is based not so much on the detail of events, but more on psycho-social engineering. The few who wield such power already control the structures of most people’s lives, but they want more - complete subjugation, after which everything becomes possible. How do they subjugate? Psy-ops has played its key role. But the oldest technique remains one of the most effective - creation of a shocking, attention-grabbing event with the force to reverberate around the world. Followed by management of subsequent events, designed to achieve the following aims:
1. Assess to what degree the populace can be brought to subjugation by basic news management, PR and distortion techniques. The application of these techniques will become, deliberately and by degrees, increasingly inept and contradictory, and the resulting public opinion data analaysed and factored.
2. Find out if, and in what way, the system can be threatened by non-subjugants, and take the relevant action.

Missing bag belonging to Maddie’s father is a clue in the investigation
JOSÉ MANUEL OLIVEIRA
The Judicial Police (PJ) is searching for months for a blue tennis bag with sufficient size to carry a small child, which belonged to the father of Madeleine McCann. The news was advanced yesterday by the British television channel Sky News, which adds that Gerry McCann assured at the time to the investigators that the bag was “stolen”.
As the DN divulged five days after the disappearance of Madeleine, the Maritime Police led out searches between Lagos and Burgau, both at sea and on rocks and caves, to look for the body of the girl. Fishermen and divers at the time were alerted to the possibility of finding a bag “containing a body or evidence.”
In the other hand still lacks to eliminate as a suspect a man on a list given by the British police to the PJ with information on 52 pedophiles from that country who were in the Algarve when the girl was taken. Meanwhile, according to the British press, the Crown Prosecution Service ordered now a new study on the value of the technique used in the method of Low Copy Number (LCN), which aims to enlarge tiny samples of DNA in the laboratory of the Forensics Science Service in Birmingham to determine the profile of suspects, victims or witnesses even when there is only a minimal amount of biological material.
The emphasis of the suspension of LCN will be given to media cases. The questions concerning this analytical method have been constantly raised in English scientific community and even the judge in the case concerning the suspected author of a bombing in Ireland that nine years ago killed dozen people, questioned the reliability of the LCN. This means that the forensic examinations for traces of blood, hair and body fluids found in the apartment and car rented by the McCanns in Praia da Luz, are in danger even before they are completed.

REPLY: Michael Shrimpton’s claims about the intelligence world need to be taken with more than a few pinches of salt. He may be a talented barrister on issues like the British constitution and weights and measures, but when it comes to intelligence, his more extravagant claims include:
1. The Irish potato blight in the 1840s was caused by an early form of Prussian biological warfare
2. Edward Heath was a paid German agent from World War II to his death, taking his instructions from Germans, and paid by a clandestine MI6-type agency called ‘DVD’ based in southern Germany
3. David Kelly (government scientist researching ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and who was held to have committed suicide) was murdered by Iraqi secret servcie agents.

Your obsession with attacking McCann-sceptics with increasingly graphic language - now comparing us with the KKK - makes you look desperate and, frankly, a tad unhinged.
Especially when - as is the case - you deliberately avoid engaging with the real issues we are discussing

Where on earth are all these clever psychics and clairvoyants that are so clever in duping people not coming forward with any help re Maddie ?
One would think it would be a pure formality after watching their antics on T.V.

Exactly !! that’s what most people will think but regular posters will be aware of the sayings of my friend Christine who has given detailed info to the Police in both countries, to at least six newspapers and to Sky News, and also to the McScams themselves. She has offered her services - for nothing - and has heard nothing back whatsoever, probably think she is a crank, but thus far she told of a dilapidated farmhouse ( the barn, near enough ) where there would be clues to follow ( the towel) and that Madeleine was in “still water” which she thought might be a well or a reservoir of some sort - they are supposedly inspecting a 14ft mine-shaft. So maybe it is the powers-that-be that have not taken up the offers for whatever reason.

I just had to see what everyone else who is “not” on here was doing and it just struck me, what on Earth do this morbid pair think the effect will be on the twins to find pressies for Madeleine under the tree with theirs and no-one to give them to ? Talk about rubbing it in, it will be most unsettling and puzzling for those little ones but then….their lives are screwed from henceforth anyway I would guess.

REPLY: If some of the ‘evidence’ and scenarios conjured up wasn’t so nauseating , David, it would be laughable. This is a true ‘hang em high posse’ one reads about happening why back when people took justice into their own hands - a mob, holding torches, noose in their hands and marching to deliver their kind of justice. Of course, that scene just comes from movies, doesn’t it? Well, it does rather remind me of a black mark against the South over here when the KKK marched with torches, holding a noose to hang the Blacks. That was just 40 some years ago that was still going on, not to mention them shooting the Whites who went down South during the civil rights marches to help the Blacks.

REPLY: You are welcome, Daisy. Keep in mind that old saying “don’t let the *astards wear you down”. The anti-mccanns have a hard time dealing with people who come across as intelligent and use common sense and prefer not to prejudge without the true facts coming straight from the Investigators. They seem to think such people are really pro-McCanns. That certainly is a compliment to the McCanns!

No, it can’t be Madeleine’s 3rd birthday as they are showing a card saying “To Sean from Madeleine and Amelie”. Also M is herself opening a present, a pink backpack, so definitely it seems like Christmas. Somewhat strange to video the gift card I thought? Could there be something fishy with this film as well as with everything else? I’m getting more and more suspicious by the day.
Of course, I can’t be certain about the ages because children obviously vary so much. But to my mind Amelie is really toddling, not really walking like a 2 year old (although of course I know 2 years old are called toddlers!). But Madeleine does look so much more than 4 months younger than the photos of her in PDL. In fact, looking at the photo with the tennis balls (which I think was said to have been taken by one of the nannies), I wouldn’t have recognised it as the same child. Different affect, different demeanour.
I expect I’m wrong - why would they say it’s 2006 if it’s 2005? - but I was intrigued enough to have sought out the video and watched it several times and really scrutinised it. Re the IVF and their development, IVF children are usually perfectly OK. Any problems are usually to do with prematurity with multiple births and then early development can be slow. But M was a singleton pregnancy (we are told) and it has never been mentioned that the twins were considerably premature. Even if we correct their ages by a month for (possible) prematurity, I still think they look more like 10 month olds than 23 month olds. Chenier rebuked me earlier for saying this, and said any paediatrician would say they were at a 23 month stage. I still don’t agree. Unless of course the video is a mixture of Christmas and some other time. I’ll watch it again and see if that seems possible.

For people asking me yesterday for some more info on some of my views, here follows the Shrimtpon Paper that I came across on a website (far down the page, past the photos of missing children). I found his report extremely interesting.
The websites link is: http://www.briansprediction.com/MISSING/private/5441page19.htm
(It is an American (I believe) website about some premonitions via dreams. I don’t believe in that sort of thing, but it talks about Maddie’s case and shows this paper by Mr. Shrimpton.)
There are also notes about who Shrimpton is and his Bio.
Sorry, this is a long paper, but interesting, in my view:
QUOTE
by MICHAEL SHRIMPTON ADVISORY BOARD GERARD GROUP
Madeleine McCann was kidnapped by a paedophile ring linked to the covert German DVD intelligence agency;
Madeleine was taken out by sea, the original destination was adjacent to the port of Antwerp, she was held for 14 days on a specially equipped vessel in Moroccan territorial waters without the consent of Morocco and she is probably now on Belgian territory;
The involvement of Portuguese, Belgian and German intelligence indicates that the political situation in Europe will deteriorate if this crisis is not resolved quickly;
The murder of Madeleine McCann, effectively at the instigation of the German State would lead to a major Anglo-European crisis and rightly so.
PAEDOPHILE RINGS . There are a number of high-ranking paedophiles in Lisbon, and abductions of young children in Portugal, followed by their eventual murder after unspeakable horrors, is sadly a feature of Portuguese political life, ditto Belgium, where at least two rings, one tied closely to the European Commission, continue to operate. . From the national security standpoint paedophile politicians and senior officials are a menace - they are invariably weak, hopelessly compromised and vulnerable to blackmail by the covert intelligence agencies, all reporting to the German DVD, which control the rings.
RUN-UP TO THE KIDNAP The McCann family (left Rothley, Leicestershire, England for a much-anticipated holiday at Praia da Luz on the Algarve on Saturday 28th April 2007, flying to Faro, Portugal. Praia da Luz and the Mark Warner Ocean Club complex in particular were held out as a safe family destination. The Portuguese authorities must have been aware of organised paedophile activity in the Faro region in the run-up to 3rd May. Several children had either been abducted, or had survived abduction attempts, in the six months prior to the McCanns’ arrival.
On either the 29th or 30th April Madeleine was photographed using a digital camera, very possibly a mobile (cell) phone camera, on an Algarve beach, probably Sagres, near This photograph, together with possibly two others (the reporting is unclear) were sent on or about 1st May, as e-mail attachments, from a computer in Praia da Luz used by an intelligence gatherer for the Lisbon ring, who has been interviewed by Portuguese police, to an e-mail address in Brussels linked to the Belgian ring closest to the EU. The paedophile being serviced in Brussels seems to have specified blonde-haired girls, aged about 5, preferably British. Reporting suggests that, tragically for her, Madeleine was selected by this morally worthless individual, who must have appreciated that she could not be released alive after he had finished abusing her.
Also on 1st May the motor yacht Stentor, flying the Dutch flag, pennant number 6571ZG1999, home port Sneek, owner J, a subject of Her Netherlands Majesty, operating from Amsterdam, sortied from Portimao, positioning itself at the Lagos Marina, about 5 statute miles from the Mark Warner Complex.
J seems to have made contact between 1st and 3rd May with Sergey Malinka, a Russian Federation Citizen, interviewed by Portuguese Police (but only after media inquiries had linked him to the only formal suspect, a British Citizen named Robert Murat, and he was tipped off, allowing him to wipe his hard drive) who is understood to have come under SVR investigation and may have been linked by them to a DVD-controlled narcotics trafficking ring, trafficking Northern Valley cartel cocaine to the Iberian Peninsular via the Gulf of Guinea, using a transhipment point on an island in the Sao Tome and Principe group known to the DVD.
The McCann family was placed under surveillance from 1st May. The routine followed on 3rd May had already been followed on previous nights, although not every night. The last check on the children was at about 2010Z.
In the afternoon of 3rd May the motor yacht Panic II, Dutch registry, owned by A (whose full details again have been communicated to AIVD in The Hague), pennant number P2006/39060, home port Hellevoetsluis Netherlands positioned from Portimao, where she had arrived on the 1st, to Lagos. She waited there until about 1945Z, just before the marina was shut at 2000Z by lowering a lifting bridge, then moved out beyond the lifting bridge, where she was moored to a pontoon on the port side of the small canal leading to the open sea, where she waited.
Sergey Malinka left his home in Praia da Luz some time between the Panic II’s arrival and Madeleine’s kidnap. It is believed he was in communication with A and his wife on board the Panic II.
Drs Gerry and Kate McCann seem to have been under continuous surveillance by a male, name unknown, possibly of Spanish or Moroccan nationality. 17. At around 2035Z heavy shutters to a ground floor window to the McCanns’ ground floor apartment were forced open and entry was gained through the window, which was not particularly secure once the shutters had been opened.
There was a team of two, a man and a woman, who spoke English. there is reason to believe each of the males (one on the ****** team and one keeping guard) was equipped with a Makarov 9 mm semi-automatic pistol, fitted with a silencer. The woman was also probably armed, possibly with a smaller calibre Beretta, again fitted with a silencer.
Since the reporting of COMINT traffic suggests that Madeleine was to be abused by a high-ranking Brussels-based official in the EU the operation clearly involved her eventual murder.
The Panic II waited whilst Madeleine was seized from the apartment. Seemingly reliable eyewitnesses report seeing a child answering Madeleine’s description being taken in a white Renault (it was a Clio) from Praia da Luz towards Lagos and being taken, struggling, towards the marina in Lagos itself. It does not appear that she was drugged. The Panic II sortied at about 2115Z, having filed a destination report of Albufeira, about 3-4 hours sailing time away, an odd time to set sail on a holiday cruise.
She seems to have rendezvoused, using GPS, at sea, doubling back on her original easterly course once over the horizon, with the Stentor, which arrived in Albufeira on 5th May, having given an original destination of Sines, on the west coast. She left again on the 6th, ostensibly headed for Lisbon.
The Panic II never arrived at Albufeira, ie we have two yachts giving seemingly false destinations, indeed the author has seen no reporting of the Panic II after 3rd May. Neither owner of these yachts has come forward, which calls for comment in itself since they were first two boats out of Lagos after the kidnap and it has been reported widely that an eyewitness saw a young girl looking like Madeleine being dragged towards the marina.
Reporting suggests that at least part of these transfers was caught by Low Light Level (LLL) electro-optical imagery from a US (NRO) KH-13 recon satellite in non-geostationary earth orbit. In the author’s estimation the original intention was to take Madeleine to a small harbour or inlet on the north Belgian coast, with say a 10 nautical mile radius of Antwerp, using up to 4 yachts, with at-sea transfer co-ordinated using GPS, which would attract little suspicion at this time of year, especially if their starting point was well away from Portugal no sign of her on the CCTV tape taken at a petrol station on the A22 expressway, which appears to catch the ****** team of two men and a woman in the Renault Clio. The Renault Clio ends up at a safe house near National Route IV, within a 25-mile radius of Valdepenas, in the Toledo Region of Spain, south of Madrid. Reporting also suggests this facility includes a converted barn, where ’snuff’ movies have been shot, Given the pressure now being applied on the safe house it is not unreasonable to suppose that the ****** team may have been ordered south to Morocco.
The People report, which quotes sources “close to the investigation” suggests that GCHQ have been monitoring relevant mobile phone calls from Morocco, with references, unsurprisingly, to a German. THE RV NAOMI CORLETT 25. Reporting placed Madeleine on the RV Naomi Corlett as long ago as 18th May. This intelligence was passed immediately to the Operation Task incident room at Leicester, but it was accorded a low priority, even after the one-day conference on Thursday 24th would have been sound had there been any intelligence placing the Naomi Corlett in the territorial sea of Portugal. believed Madeleine was being held.
Satellite coverage of the Moroccan coast, inevitably, is intermittent, giving windows of opportunity to the ring to move Madeleine onshore or to another vessel, perhaps briefly going to sea for that purpose.
The Moroccans should still be asked to board and search the Naomi Corlett, since it is the best lead to Madeleine. There is recent (3rd June) OSINT reporting, prompting a 24 hour delay in completing this assessment, of a sighting of Madeleine in Liege, Belgium.
the author is inclined to treat it as prima facie credible (the sighting report by a Norwegian Subject, variously described as British or Nigerian, Marie Olli, in Marrakesh on 9th May, may be of Madeleine, but is much more likely to have been of a similar young girl - She may still be on board the Naomi Corlett, but that would require a remarkable degree of arrogance or complacency on the part of the ring and the DVD.
Realistically, rather than mounting a rescue, the UK would need to ask the Belgians to rescue Madeleine and if such a request were refused, break off diplomatic relations with the King of the Belgians One or more of these boats, and the Naomi Corlett, appear to be using an old covert U-Boat base in Sao Tome and Principe as a trans-shipment point. Typical cocaine load is about 50 metric tons. The DEA and National Drug Intelligence Center in the USA have been made aware. They are interested.
ROBERT MURAT 35. Put very simply, he is not involved.
He is a slightly odd character (not so odd that he pops out his glass eye as solemnly reported by the media, he is unsighted in one eye, but it is not glass) with a complicated private life, but there is not a shred of evidence linking him to this very grave crime.
Abandoning Madeleine to her fate is not, repeat not, an option. Aside from the dubious morality of such a course, the blow to British prestige would be immense and no government could survive the political fall-out. the RV Naomi Corlett should contribute to that, and Madeleine should be rescued.

There’s no point taking things off the sap thread - they think they’re looking for Madeleine by reading about her, I don’t think reality is their strong point.
