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.

Les investigateurs, aussi bien au Royaume-Uni qu’au Portugal, ont été surpris par un rapport, élaboré par un groupe de spécialistes liés aux services de renseignement, qui leur détaille et révèle la qualité de l’organisation qui s’est crée au tour des parents de Madeleine et du groupe d’amis qui les a accompagnés pendant leur séjour au Portugal.
“Ce n’est pas l’œuvre des parents. C’est trop professionnel pour que se soit l’œuvre d’un couple de médecins, aussi intelligents soient’ ils,” affirme notre source.
Le rapport, effectué en marge des investigations de la Police judiciaire, révèle que la machine McCann n’a rien laissé au hasard et que chaque mouvement sur le terrain, chaque information divulgué volontairement dans certains médias a été préalablement étudié et préparé avec des objectifs bien définies.
Avocats, conseillers en communication et image, anciens mercenaires, détectives, officiers de police, journalistes, diplomates, politiques, informaticiens, entre autres, font partie d’une sorte de machine bien huilé ou l’objectif de retrouver Madeleine semble avoir été dépassé par un autre : orienter et discréditer l’enquête. Un travail de long allène qui représente un cout financier qui va au delà des sommes versés au Fonds Find Madeleine.
Dans la pratique tout a commencé la nuit même de la disparition de la petite britannique : le listing d’appels de l’Océan Club et celui des téléphones portables utilisés par Gerry et Kate à révélé bien des curieux destinataires, dépassant de loin le simple appel à la famille ou à la police.

_____________________________________
Investigators, both in the United Kingdom and Portugal, were surprised by a report prepared by a group of specialists related to intelligence, which reveals details and the quality of the organization, which was created to Tower parents Madeleine and the group of friends who accompanied them during their stay in Portugal.
“This is not the work of parents. It’s too professional for that is the work of a couple of doctors, are also intelligent they,” says our source.
The report, conducted in conjunction with investigations of the Judicial Police, reveals that the machine McCann has nothing left to chance and that every movement on the ground, each voluntarily disclose information in certain media has been previously studied and prepared with objectives defined.
Lawyers, consultants and image communication, former mercenaries, detectives, police officers, journalists, diplomats, politicians, scientists, among others, are part of a kind of well-oiled machine or the goal of finding Madeleine seems to have been overtaken by Another: guide and discredit the investigation. A working long allène which is a financial cost that goes far beyond the sums paid to the Fund Find Madeleine.
In practice it all began the night of the disappearance of the small British: the listing of calls from the Ocean Club and those of mobile phones used by Gerry and Kate revealed many curious recipients, far beyond the simple appeal to the family or the police.

An egoist can be won over by being respected, a crazy person can be won over by allowing him to behave in an insane manner and a wise person can be won over by truth. Domination can never defeat the free mind or spirit.

if i found out she was linked to a particular charity i would make a point of not donating to them.
and i would write to them pointing this out in very small words
this thought will occur to charity managers no doubt

“which charity is going to have a prime suspect working for them…..”
the pay the mcconn’s mortgage charity?
clarence has just signalled that her right holy royal fragrance now receives no salary
i suspect the only reason she has “resigned” is that her period of leave has run out
just like his right holy royal fragrance went back to work after 6 months - his leave period ran out
such fun
February 17th, 2008 at 9:50 am
morning âde
i think i maybe a split personality, or perhaps two faced??? 
clouseau - someone once said that any publicilty is good publicity.. so who knows. The article gives the impression that K has quit as a GP, interesting as she was never a gp - just a locum and as a locum can stay on the agency books for years without taking on any work..
It also gives the impression that she is already working for charity - which i doubt.
Shame she now feels the need to protect children, ironic that if she had only felt that need prior to may 3rd at least one child would have benefitted imo ;(

KATE QUITS AS GP TO WORK FOR KIDS’ CHARITIES
EXCLUSIVE
Mum combines ‘ambassador’ role with search for missing Maddie

*****************
This is why man on the hill recommended Zeitgeist: the Movie.
The same principle predicted for world domination is currently being applied by the McCanns and their supporters.
Reiterate often enough an interpretation of so called ‘facts’, act as if there can be no doubt, and the universal consciousness is supposed to absorb the presentation as ‘truth’.
This shows how essential it is to keep the opposing view in just as high a profile, before truth for Madeleine is entirely buried.

which charity is going to have a prime suspect working for them…..

May,
I found an page to order inexpensive DVD copies of the movie from an official site ($5 each) and inexpensive shipping, too, for those who would prefer to watch it on their TV instead of online.
http://zeitgeistmovie.com/dvdorder.htm
I will make a point to watch it this week. I will particularly be interested in seeing the religious aspect of it, as I am already familiar with the political story.
**************
That’s great, Jolie. Seems like it’s something which should be shown to students, as they will be the future ‘resisters’. However, any compulsory viewing will no doubt be ‘resisted’!

859 Cheryl Says:
“Question: Is that what the 24 Horas said they said or is that an official statement given by a member of the family to the newspaper with the name of the person who supposedly said it to back it up?”
24 Horas has so far not been the most reliable of all sources.
However, what is more revealing:
QUOTE 24 Horas
… but the truth is that in Huelva, yesterday, there was no sign of the posters.
“I did not see any poster and we were not informed of anything. There is nothing” said to 24 Horas Luís Molina, spokesman of the Cortés family and uncle of Mari Luz, missing since the 13th of January.
END QUOTE
So if there are no posters, there is also no reason to inform the parents. I guess that the information about the start of the poster campaign was simply released premature. The posters were not ready and therefore the parents were not informed.
February 17th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Not sure if I have missed a response from Ian but if not, I would still like to know the answer to my previous query. Ian - if you think there was no abduction, what is it you think happened to Madeleine ? why ? and where do you think she is now ?

good morning all
I see the pink one is now writing for the leicester mercury
I thought Costa said that it was premature to talk of the investigation failing… but hey i must have read it wrong!!
quote
Portugal’s justice minister, Alberto Costa, said this week the police investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance was ”approaching the conclusion of the process”.
He said it was “premature” to say whether the investigation would reveal what happened to Madeleine, citing UK statistics showing 80 per cent of similar cases remained unresolved
