Madeleine McCann: Alipio Ribeiro’s Thinks, Clarence Mitchell Knows And A Birthday
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY STAR ON SUNDAY: “MADDIE COPS SAYS SORRY – Police ‘too quick’ “to blame parents”
“A top policeman has sensationally admitted that making Gerry and Kate McCann suspects over their daughter Maddie’s disappearance was too ‘hasty’. Alipio Ribeiro, boss of the Portuguese department in charge of the investigation, dropped his bombshell in a radio interview”
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns spokesman: “Now that the national director of the Policia Judiciaria apparently acknowledges that they should never have been made arguidos, it follows there is no case for them to answer.”
SUNDAY EXPRESS: “POLICE ‘TOO HASTY’ OVER MCCANNS”
“As the couple bravely celebrated the third birthday of their twins, Sean and Amelie, one of Portugal’s most senior detectives admitted that making them suspects had been a “hasty” mistake”
Did Mr Alipio Ribeiro say “mistake” in his radio interview?
Says the paper: “The couple, both 39, said the official’s comments were tantamount to an admission that Portuguese detectives had bungled by centring their investigation on them.”
Says Mr Ribeiro to Portugal’s Radio Renascenca, owned by the Catholic Church:
“At this moment in time and speaking with the experience I have of Portugal’s Public Prosecution Service and the constitution of arguidos, I think there perhaps should have been another assessment before the McCanns were made official suspects.
“I don’t have any doubt about that. The national director of the Policia Judiciaria doesn’t give out orders on the constitution of arguidos but there was a certain hastiness”
Says the paper: “Last night Ribeiro was under growing pressure to stand down as national director of their country’s Policia Judiciaria”. Pressure from, whom?
MAIL ON SUNDAY: “”Police chief: We were too quick to make Gerry and Kate ‘arguidos’”
Says the Mail: “Kate and Gerry McCann’s bid to clear their names over the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine has been given a massive boost after the head of Portugal’s police admitted it had been a mistake to rush into making them official suspects”
Mr McCann says: “We need a breakthrough and this looks like it could be one. It is fantastic news. We still have a long way to go but people in Portugal need to understand what has been happening and what we have been going through. We know it will take the police a long time to accept what has been happening is wrong but it is an important step towards that”
Says the McCanns’ lawyer in Portugal, Carlos Pinto de Abreu: “Many people who may have vital information have possibly not come forward as they wrongly suspected the McCanns”
What about that huge reward, and doing the right thing? People may be deterred from coming forward for fear of being named in the media and questioned by Metodo 3, the McCann’s private investigators. But let us not speculate
SUNDAY PEOPLE: “MADDIE U-TURN - EXCLUSIVE Cops admit mistake on twins’ birthday”
“Kate and Gerry McCann threw a birthday bash for their twins yesterday - as a top cop admitted it was WRONG to name them as suspects over missing Maddie”
Well, Policia Judiciaria “boss” Alipio Ribeiro, said the police acted too hasilty. “Ribeiro last night faced calls to resign over the astonishing U-turn” – although from whom, the paper does not bother to say
Say the McCanns: “The support we have had from around the world has been amazing. It’s helped maintain our strength and hope and this has helped the search for our precious Madeleine. We believe there is a very good chance she is still alive. She deserves the love and security of her family. She needs to be back home with her mummy and daddy, brother and sister”
THE GUARDIAN: “Police chief says ‘we were too hasty’ in naming McCanns as suspects”
“In an interview to be aired on Portuguese radio today, Alípio Ribeiro, the national director of the Polícia Judiciária, will concede that police may have acted too soon in making Kate and Gerry McCann formal suspects, known in Portugal as arguidos. His comments were interpreted last night by the McCanns as a tacit admission that the police were wrong to name them as being involved in the disappearance of their four-year-old daughter”

Well, I think one of the very best things about lecithin is that it is an emulsifier of fats and so hopefully helps keep the blood vessels clear. It is a major source of choline, as I said , which is considered to be part of the vitamin B complex although it’s not really a true vitamin in itself. But choline is necessary for the production of acetylcholine which is an important neurotransmitter (for transmitting nerve impulses etc) - without it the muscles could not function properly and we would become very weak. There are probably lots more good things about it as well. When you buy it in granulated form or capsules in the health shop, it’s usually made from soya beans, but of coure it’s in eggs and other foods as well.
I’m not a nutritionist so don’t really have the answer to what can give you more energy. Some people say co-enzyme Q10 drastically improves their energy levels and is good for the heart, but I think it’s very important to make sure that you don’t unbalance the other nutritional elements by taking too much of any one thing. I myself don’t think that there are any miracle supplements although different people take various things and swear by them. I’ll give this a bit more thought and post again.

According to the last picture - she definitely wasn’t that big. just compare her chest and legs against that last picture. The child in the picture has much broader shouders and although we can’t see evidence of that - look at her long legs in the tennis photo. The photo of that child in the the last photo is of a much much younger child.
There is a time gap …..
They never ever put out a real mage of Madeleine- ever ever

I have no doubt that MM is KM’s daughter as they look so alike. However, I have doubts that she might also be GM’s child and do wonder about the doubt surmised in the report I linked a few days back that suggests that the child’s colombona is genetic and, therefore, this defect has not come directly from either assumed-mother or assumed-father. I asked for confirmation that this defect is genetic but I don’t believe anyone replied.
I have another question.
Could it be that the child is the product of KM and another female (perhaps JT - and perhaps that JT’s child is, too?)?
All that is required for conception is the collision of two chromosomes. The traditional way of doing it has been with sperm and egg. which either produces a baby boy with a male Y and a female X chormosome, or a baby girl with a male X and a female X. But - all you need for a baby girl is two X chromosones from two different sources - and no need for men at all!
Now, of course, this is still illegal - and likely to remain so as long as men are predominantly making the laws - but in practical terms, it’s possible and, from what I’m told, not even difficult. Lesbians are queuing up for it.
Could it be that the child was the result of such a practice? (and perhaps even JT’s daughter? - remember it results in female children only, so not the siblings). But perhaps there were some genetic problems (perhaps the colombona was only a minor physical defect and that there were others?). If the child were to die - whether as a direct result of the conception, or for any other reason - would the parents want the child’s body to be found and subjected to physical and genetic (DNA) examination?

About perks : I suggested it more like a joke ; that’s what comes to mind first, especially if you are a fan of legal thrillers. But honestly, in this case I don’t believe it. [...] I heard people specialised in lobbying thrive in Brussels. It is a bit frightening, isn’t it? [...]
******
Marie, with due respect, I think we should not forget that the bigger part of big companies, including pharmaceuticals, have/had to answer to legal “prosecutions” recently. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this is the case. Just know, that financial stakes run into billions. And, yes, I do know about all of the lobbyists in Brussels. There are thousands of them… And don’t make me talk about that

Do you really think that the police forces in Iberia and northern Africa haven’t noticed that point?
And do you really think that those police forces have any trust in anything that Clarrie says?
