Madeleine McCann: The Witnesses See, A Sketch And Killer Bob
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine: Four witnesses say they saw suspect pictured in new poster campaign”
“Four key witnesses in the Madeleine McCann investigation could have seen the man shown in a new sketch of a potential suspect, it emerged yesterday”
But there were no witnesses? And “could” and “potential” in one line…
“But four witnesses may have seen the unidentified man - first on the night the three-year-old went missing, then later with named suspect Robert Murat, and finally in Morocco”
“Jane Tanner, who told police she saw a man carrying a child away from the McCanns’ apartment, said she was “80 per cent sure” he was the one depicted in the artist’s impression”
“Isabel Gonzalez, who said she saw Madeleine with a Berber woman in Morocco, said the sketch looked ‘very similar’ to a man she saw immediately after the sighting”
Amanda Mills, 34, from Basildon, Essex, claimed to have spotted a man trying to break into a bedroom window at the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz a week before Madeleine disappeared from the complex.
“Last night she said there are “strong similarities” between the man she saw and the new sketch.
“Nanny Charlotte Pennington’s description of a person she saw with Mr Murat also matches the man shown in the artist’s impression”
DAILY EXPRESS: “New manhunt ‘another diversion by McCanns’”
One Portuguese policeman “stormed”: “The purpose of this exercise by the McCanns is the same as always. It’s another diversionary tactic”
DAILY STAR: “YOU WON’T THROW US OFF THE SCENT”
“Cops blast Maddie sketch as McCann tactic”
DAILY MIRROR: “Madeleine witnesses: This is him”
Witnesses says the sketch cold be a picture of the man they saw. Or it could not be
DEFAMER: Or does the new sketch of the man suspected of snatching young Madeleine McCann look a lot like Killer Bob?
NEW YORK POST: “SKETCHY SUSPECT IN MADDIE MYSTERY”
A picture of the man and he caption: “WANTED – SOUGHT IN KID SWIPE”

Hi.
Is this Gail Cooper woman, the same GC from Rutland, midwife.
Where is Rutland?
Pardon my ignorance
_______________
Rutland is part of Leicestershire - where the McCanns live. Rutland Water is the large lake near Melton Mowbray where KM worked as a GP.

http://forums.mirror.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=37418&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= This statement deserves a thread of its own - the statement came through this afternoon on the ‘Sign Petition to Jacqui Smith’ thread - many of us emailed her and the Home Office, demanding clarification of reports in Correio di Mahna and on Paolo Reis’s thread that the Home Secretary is delaying interviewing of the Tapas 7:
[quote="MirrorIain"]Please be advised, we have been asked by the Home Office to give their response to this thread, which follows:
“It is not our usual policy to comment on individual cases, however the Home Office has not received a formal request for Mutual Legal Assistance concerning the McCann investigation. It is not appropriate to comment further.”[/quote]
I have emailed this to Correio di Mahna (I think!! via their website), but calling all Portuguese posters - Please, please publicise this response from the Home Office to the Mirror Forum to your national press!! We cannot allow the British government to try and hide any stalling on the McCann case by using the excuse of Portuguese bureaucracy!!

“What did you do on holiday? You seem different. You were always so earnest and McCann obsessed and now you’re telling people to lay off the drugs man and you’re planning on making anti-Semitic remarks. :shock:”
Both were meant to be tongue in cheek. Just stirring a bit.
Though, I would like to tell the Simon Wisenthal Centre were to go stick it!
Spent my time catching up with relatives, ‘hangin’ and doing odd jobs for my mother.

The curious thing is that they are never about anything amenable to reasoning.
It’s the constant stream of ‘oh yes it is’, ‘oh no it isn’t’ ‘oh yes it is’, that grinds the neurons to dust.
I should like to know whether any of the one million posters that Clarrie claimed at his press conference were being spread across Iberia and north Africa has actually been spotted.
Why can’t they post about that?

I just began getting furious when Sledgehammer copied an old article today that began with “latest news” (or something like that). And I’m not sure if he does it on purpose or out of sheer ignorance.
——————————————————————————————————————
Not sure why he is here but as I’ve said before he’s an irritating, flat headed tool that contributes nothing to sensible discussion. He seems intent in only offending others and his posts are of no interest. There’s something lacking in his life IMO.

Kneen, British citizen, 56 years old, living in Praia da Luz for three years goes further and gives some suggestions to the authorities. “Please! If I was the kidnapper I would never walk in the street like this. I think that they should try to make different images from this one and put them side by side”, he said suggesting that they should make another image without the moustache or even with shorter hair. “Does anyone believe that the man was walking in the streets like that waiting to be caught?”.
Sorry if already post

So why are you posting things from mid September to support your McCanns are innocent/no letters/bring in the Hague stance?

I agree that this whole case has got something to do with the pharmaceutical industry which is in bed with the petroleum industry.

Who have the press tied up and gagged to the bedposts whilst the whoring continues.
And on that note…….
Keep up the sleuthing, the questioning, the engaging.
The moon is completely full and glowing brilliantly light and golden.
I think I will take the hounds out for a brisk stroll.
Keeping my eyes out for any cosmological surprises.

GOEBBELS’ PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA
Based upon Goebbels’ Principles of Propaganda by Leonard W. Doob, published in Public Opinion and Propaganda; A Book of Readings edited for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.
1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.
2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.
a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.
b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.
c. It must oversee other agencies’ activities which have propaganda consequences
3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.
4. Propaganda must affect the enemy’s policy and action.
a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence
b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions
c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself
d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity
5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign
6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.
7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.
8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.
9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.
10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy’s prestige or lends support to the propagandist’s own objective.
11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.
12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.
13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.
a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.
b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment
c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness
14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.
a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses
b. They must be capable of being easily learned
c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations
d. They must be boomerang-proof
15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.
16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.
a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat
b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves
17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.
a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated
b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective
18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both.

IF THERE WERE ANY OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS THE PJ WOULD HAVE SENT THESE QUESTIONS TO THE HOME OFFICE BY NOW. MANY PEOPLE HAVE EMAILED THE HOME OFFICE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE STANDARD REPLY THAT THE PJ HAVE NOT ASKED THE HOME OFFICE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE REGARDING THE MCCANNS.
THE MCCANNS WERE ADVISED BY THEIR (PORTUGUESE/EUROPEAN) LEGAL ADVISER TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS WHERE THEY KNEW THE ANSWER. THEY WERE ASKED ABOUT SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT DNA, WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE MCCANNS’ FIELD. THEY WERE ASKED WHERE THEY HAD BURIED THEIR DAUGHTER. AN INNOCENT PERSON CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT ONLY A GUILTY PERSON KNOWS. THEY WERE ASKED HOW MADELEINE DIED, TO WHICH INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE NO ANSWER. ONLY THE PERPETRATOR HAS THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

Photo analysis of the day ….
Gail Cooper’s face is probably the hardest I have ever tried to read.
Her face has very deep folds and eyes very deep set–obscuring a lot.
But my impression is that she’s a “tough bird”, a scrapper, and will stand up to someone/something in her way.
There’s also a little touch of amusement at the attention she is getting.
My overall impression is that she’s not lying. She’s just a tough little scraper doing her part to clean up the streets, as she sees it.
To read a photo, cover the left side and go with your first impression of the right side only. In Gail Cooper’s case, with the Daily photo, you should cover her hand too, because it is very distracting!
