Madeleine McCann: Scare Stories, Kate McCann’s Job And No Mari Luz
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS: “FIVE ATTEMPTED KIDNAPS LINK TO MADELEINE CASE”
“Detectives searching for Madeleine McCann are now investigating a spate of attempted child abductions across Portugal.
“At least five kidnap attempts have been reported in the past month, leading officers from the Madeleine team to examine the details for possible connections.”
What of the headline “link” to Madeleine McCann – well, the alleged attempted kidnappings all occurred in Portugal
But “Last week Justice Minister Alberto Costa revealed that the head detective, Paulo Rebelo, was coming to the end of his case”, says the WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “It’s alarming to hear that this sort of thing can happen, particularly in a country that is so aware of the potential for abduction”
DAILY MIRROR: “Maddy: 5 scares in Portugal”
Police searching for Madeleine McCann are also investigating five attempted child abductions in northern Portugal. They began when a nine-year-old girl was bundled into a car as she got off her school bus. Two more children were attacked last month and last Thursday two men tried to lure a girl of nine into a car. Last Saturday, another child escaped abduction. One police source said: “It is causing a lot of alarm.”
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine McCann’s disappearance is ‘linked to a string of child abductions’”
Police investigating Madeleine McCann’s disappearance have been alerted over a spate of attempted child abductions in northern Portugal, it has been revealed. At least four children have been targeted in the last month in the region of Coimbra, where a nine-year-old girl escaped from an abductor in December.
It’s five children. The Express and Mirror both say its five
KATE McCANN: “Meanwhile, it is understood Kate McCann is quitting her job as a locum GP to devote her life to children’s charities. Mrs McCann has not returned to work since Madeleine’s disappearance in May and has reportedly told friends she feels she has a lot to offer charity organisations.
THE SCOTSMAN: “Torment of Madeleine’s family ‘is like being crucified’”
Kate McCann’s mother Susan Healey says: “It is almost like being crucified day to day. I read the most stupid things about Kate not crying enough or whatever”
Adding: “Kate and Gerry know they made a mistake and shouldn’t have left the children, they know that, but they certainly don’t deserve what has happened to them. If the Portuguese can’t find out what happened to Madeleine, we have to find out. There is no way Madeleine will fade into insignificance”
Gerry McCann is a “surgeon”
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Missing Amy’s parents offer cash reward”
The parents of missing Irish expat Amy Fitzpatrick have offered a cash reward for information on her whereabouts. Franco Rey, spokesman for Amy’s Stepfather David Mahon and Amy’s mum Audrey, said: “A substantial reward is on offer to anyone who can provide reliable information on Amy’s whereabouts. Any information received will be treated within the strictest confidence.”
And:
Dubliner Mr Mahon (36) has also travelled to Tangiers in northern Morocco to investigate the possibility the teenager was snatched and taken to Africa.
Rewards have also been offered for missing Briton Madeleine McCann and missing Spanish girl Mari Luz Cortes. The family of five-year-old Mari Luz, snatched from her home in Huelva in south-west Spain on January 13, is offering €300,000 for information on her whereabouts. Rewards totalling £2.6m were offered within 10 days of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance on May 3 last year from the Algarve holiday resort of Praia da Luz.
TYPICALLY SPANISH: “parents of missing Mari Luz are against her image being used in a Madeleine McCann poster campaign”
Mari Luz’s father, Juan José Cortés, said after a meeting with Manuel Chaves, President of the Junta de Andalucía, this weekend, that, while he is not against collaborating in the search for Madeleine and ‘even helping to draw up a poster of all the missing youngsters,’ the lines of investigation into the disappearance of the two young girls are distinct, and are being carried out in two separate countries. EFE [Spanish news agency] said he is considering taking legal action for using his daughter’s image for the campaign.

I’m sure Alex Jones would have more time for you than you had for him. Why don’t you give things a chance? The Alex Jones podcast is usually three hours long. What about my other sources? Have you decided to reject them according to your ‘better judgement’.

Happily in Spain the spin habit is not so extended! Of course, drop me a line if you come here, and I’ll do the same if a go to Alicante.
The kidnapps again: do you think that these attempts have been true (some stangers were trying to kidnap girls in differnt cities) semi-true, the attempts were true lies, a staged by mnetodo 3 people, or 100 per cent lies? I have read the statements of one of the girls’ father
If spin consists of invent 100 news like these, it does seev very easy… IMO

I feel that religion, in its pure state, may well be ingrained in people. But I think this is precisely what is used by the churches (and governmens) to obtain control. It would seem to be a relatively simple way of manipulating people

As I believe Karl Marx said, “Religion is the opium of the masses”.

Stop trying to wind me up. You asked for confirmation and i have given it to you. You have to do the rest for yourself.

Well, against my better judgement I looked at the Alex Jones site, I’m afraid I think it is just another money making scheme based on paranoia.
MOAH, whilst I am sure you believe passionately in this, and I applaud you for it, it still doesn’t provide any concrete evidence.
Once again it is just a different interpretation of available information presented to put forward a particular point of view.
It doesn’t make it neither truth or fact.

JFK assassination documents found in Dallas court house including killer’s transcript
“They include what appears to be a suspect transcript of a conversation between killer Lee Harvey Oswald and Oswald’s killer Jack Ruby.”

Keep in mind it is only to serve the mccanns purpose.
The “news” are not news. Its spin and more spin.
Its just media marketing.
In spain it is not as desarollado/developped.We are not used to it,I meant not to that extend.

Just 2 days ago i was listening to the undertaker who dealt with the body of Lee Harvey Oswald. He described in detail how the secret servicemen brought the rifle into the morgue, inked the deceased hand and faked the prints. He’s about 85 years of age and seems a very articulate and sensible old man. Alex Jones is currently making a new documentary all about the JFK assassination.

FIVE attempts to kidnapping in a month… and all in Portugal! Precisely in Portugal. Not in Italy, Spain, France or the U.K. No, no, IN PORGUGAL!!!!
I have no words to say what I think of all of them. I sincerely think that not only the pair, but a lot more (Metodo 3 people, Mitchell, tapas, family, fund suppliers) have openly breaking the law. Hope FTBOMH, that Portuguese proud, the honour of their institutions and their turistical interests will be enough to fight until the end in this horrendous scandal. Until the end, until its last consequences, caiga quien caiga (whoever may fall and whatever high will be the involved). Pls, Portuguese, never give up! We are with you!
