Madeleine McCann: Lying To Children, Ian McEwan And Questions
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “McCann pals face new quiz”
“It is understood Jane Tanner, Russell O’Brien and David Payne, three of the Tapas Seven, may be questioned over alleged inconsistencies in their statements”
“Understood” and “may.” Such are the facts. Such is the reporting
Say the McCanns’ family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “There is no suggestion Kate and Gerry will be re-interviewed”
And “suggestion”
DAILY RECORD: “One Last Try To Get Maddie Answers”
“Staff at the resort where Madeleine McCann vanished have again been quizzed by detectives. It comes as they prepare to re-interview pals of Kate and Gerry McCann in a last-ditch bid to crack the case”
Anyone we know questioned?
“Pool cleaner Luis Antonio, the husband of suspect Robert Murat’s girlfriend Michaela Walczuch, was one of five questioned in Praia da Luz”
Any reason why they were quizzed once more?
A judicial source tells Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas: “Several police interviews have been repeated. The statements are being analysed to try to find any lead that could result in a new line of investigation”
Analysing statements, eh. Technical stuff…
In his internet blog yesterday, Gerry McCann vowed not to give up looking for his young daughter, adding: “We hope the police are similarly determined”
DAILY EXPRESS: “POLICE LAST CHANCE TO FIND MADELEINE”
“Five staff members who were at the Ocean Club complex on the night she went missing have been quizzed in recent days as pressure mounts to conclude the investigation”
Why those five? Which five? The WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER does not say
THE SUN: “Cops’ final bid to solve Maddie”
Michaela Walczuch “who denies any involvement in Maddie’s disappearance – was allegedly spotted in Zaio, Morocco, on June 15, moments after a girl resembling Madeleine was seen being dragged away by an African woman”
Three of the McCanns’ freins witll be spoken to by police.
A “source” says: “It sounded like they were concerned about timeline inconsistencies. But if you have nine people not wearing watches, it would be suspicious if their times matched exactly”
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Lying to children”
“From white lies to whoppers, vagueness with the truth is part of parenthood. But as Katie Tait learns from one psychologist, deceiving children is never justified”
Recently I told Kitty, our youngest child, that the police car had pulled us over because she was screaming in the back of the car (in fact I was, stupidly, speeding, but partly as a result of her noise). She is now mousey-quiet on journeys. My caprice over the tooth fairy has reached such an extent that the correspondence between “Molly” and my daughter Agnes fills two whole shoe boxes.
Then there are the areas that I don’t really want them to know the whole truth about. Will they get scared if I tell them that Madeleine McCann, whose picture they have seen everywhere, was taken from her bed? What about the news stories of dogs biting children to death? Will they ever go near next door’s puppy again? To me, vagueness with the truth is part of being a human being and certainly part of being a parent. But apparently, I am deeply wrong.
Maybe Katie’s children can read the truth in her article?
THE AGE (Aus): “The private and the public”
An interview with Ian McEwan, the author: “Journalists rang him because the disappearance of four-year-old Madeleine bore a dark similarity to the plot of his 1987 novel, The Child in Time, when a father has his three-year old girl stolen from him in a supermarket”
DVDTOWN: “GONE BABY GONE”
If you’re thinking that this film was a quick knockoff inspired by the real-life Madeleine McCann case–the little girl who disappeared from her family’s Portugal vacation home while her mom and dad were at a party not far away–it’s really just another case of life imitating art. Lehane’s novel about a four-year-old girl who turns up missing under similar circumstances was published way back in 1994.

You are not understanding my point. Go deeper. People have been programmed to have a bad reaction to dope. It is a truth drug for heaven’s sake, that why it’s called the weed of wisdom by those in the know.
Imagine a kid growing up in all these lies who tries a truth drug for the first time. Wouldn’t they feel something was wrong, very wrong, with their parents, their relationships and with their community. They have no real information about the drug just like their parents and are likely to come to the wrong conclusions and be willing to opt for block-out drugs instead which the government supply by the bucket-load.
Cannabis is a low-level psychedelic which should be taken on it’s own and not mixed with tobacco but how many smokers in UK do that. Psychedelics are the most misunderstood drugs on the planet mainly because of all the recent propaganda. It is part of the one government plot. The makers of zeitgeist were careful not to mention it because they knew that people are programmed to ignore hash-heads and they wanted your attention.
Ancient societies would simply not understand our hatred towards a plant that gives us so much.
Please confirm what i am saying from other sources if it makes you feel any better.

Tapas group has already prepared the interrogations“
It will not be an easy task as they have had the time and the advice to help them prepare themselves for the interrogations” stated a British police officer, explaining that the McCann couple and their friends have had recourse to lawyers and other experts to help them prepare and organise themselves.
The investigators, in the United Kingdom as well as in Portugal, have been surprised by a report, made by a group of specialists related to intelligence services, that detailed and revealed the quality of the organisation that has created itself around the parents of Madeleine and the group of friends that accompanied them during their stay in Portugal.
“This is not the work of parents. It’s too professional for it to be the work of a couple of doctors, however intelligent they are” our source affirms.
(to be continued)
By George, she”s got it!!!!!!!

Brother in law smokes pot. We don’t. But we own a large garden and he doesn’t. Beautiful plants and really huge! I once cut the plant for him and when we went to visit him I took the stuff with me in the back of the car. Only 30 gr [or even 5 gr not sure] allowed to have in your possession in the Netherlands.
MrT nearly got a heart attack when we arrived and I took out the box to give to my brother in law. It was about [hmm won't tell you] 10x -or more- anyway way to much. Never done it again.

PJ have the cuddlecat
February 17th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

I’d like to know why the PJ didnt take cuddlecat away for forensics when it would appear to be the only thing we know that the abductor handled? Of course, unless the stories about the toy being moved are again, a load of leaked crap!

I’m back. Some friends bursted in and had dinner at our place. No chicken nor rooster though
but chicory with french cheese in the oven.
Jo asked [post 1007] “Exactly how many staff were employed at Ocean Club Resort around May 3rd, 2007?”
I’d like to ask: how many guest [adults and children] were staying at OCR around May 3rd, 2007 and how many have been questioned. When have they been questioned? DNA/fingerprints? Why is it necessary to ask people to upload their holiday pictures? Why didn’t the police collect them around May 3rd or afterwards? Why did MW transfer employees to other places? Who was transferred and when?

abduction can happen anywhere
Yeap you got it……….thats exactly what Clarrie was saying.
only problem is there is usually at least one piece of evidence
There’s no evidence of anything eitherway. So your point is?

you cant expect any sensible person to believe in this ludicrous abduction theory of yours garf…. theres just no evidence, unless you call tanners words evidence. Surely not as her statement has changed more than times than ive been in moderation. Well nearly

Noseycow - for what it is worth! I am very impressed with the new Investigator, he is taking his time and being very methodical and going by the ‘book’! Many years ago I worked with a detective on some undercover cases so I have a deep respect for really good investigators and loathing for the bad ones (and as everywhere in life - there is good and bad so…I’m not maligning the Police). Yes, 3 people have been named main ’suspects’ but really everyone at that resort would be a suspect in his mind, if he is ‘playing it by the book’. I dont think for a second his mind is ‘closed’ and focusing on only one or two - he is crossing every ‘t’ and doting every ‘i’ so not to overlook anything . Nothing in this case is beyond the realm of possibility!
Well said.

“so that my political viewpoints are not a result of drug-induced paranoia. Just in case anyone was wondering… :)”
Good point worth making, Jolie. I want to say the same. Far from wanting to discredit MOTH’s political analysis by disagreement with his attitude to the weed…….I think it is good that we can clearly say that we are coming from a similar perspective..with absolutely no drug connection.

Well it was probably aimed at people such as yourself who constantly cry
‘no abduction’ as if Portugal was a sacred place whereby an abduction just wouldnt happen?
