Madeleine McCann: With Columnists Carole Malone And Barbara Ellen
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE COLUMNISTS
It’s the Big Brother reject and toothsome talker:
“The truth won’t mend the pain”
I SOMETIMES wonder if The Truth is all it’s cracked up to be. I wonder if there are times when NOT knowing is better than knowing.
Well, as Donald Rumsfeld once said, from whom Malone seems to be quoting…
Because now we think we know Madeleine McCann didn’t die, as police suspected, in her holiday apartment. Neither was she taken by an opportunist killer. Nor did she wander off into the sea.
Sure of that? Yeah, Sure of it. Positive. Sure of it? Facts are facts. Right? Facts…
However, what we now think may have happened is worse than all of those scenarios because it looks certain this angel-faced little girl was snatched to order by a vile paedophile ring and delivered to people who hunt down pretty children to degrade. Maybe even kill.
And we know this because..? Well, someone said something…it got in an email to someone else…Carole read it or heard it and it became news… and fact…and we read about it… and we told someone… and they told Carole…who knows all about it…
What kind of images are going through your mind at this minute as to the fate of this little mite?
Dunno? Tell us what we should be thinking…
“…a sex toy for a bunch of perverts so depraved that they get their kicks from abusing and killing terrified children.”
The picture is becming clearer. Thanks…
And if I can’t bear to think about what might have happened to her after she was “delivered” to those perverts I can’t imagine how Kate and Gerry can close their eyes at night without the horror of it exploding inside their heads.
Draw us a picture…
Now we know that what might have happened to her while she was alive could have been worse.
Yeah, we know what “MIGHT” have heppned. Such are the facts…
I never really understood what the phrase “Fate Worse Than Death” actually meant. Now I think I might.
BARBARA ELLEN (Observer): “The latest speculation about Madeleine feels like exploitation to keep this sad story going”
Dreadful though the thought is, is it time to hope that Madeleine McCann died the night she disappeared?
Wishing death upon a child?
Anything seems preferable to the explanation that she was abducted by a paedophile ring, and is perhaps still suffering. That it was always unlikely that some childless couple just fancied a little British girl, and all this time Madeleine has been enjoying ice cream and piano lessons. In their heart of hearts, the British public probably considered all this the moment Madeleine disappeared…
Barbara heard about the paedos… from someone, maybe it was in the Sunday Mirror…she told us…we told you…you told a friend… who knows Barabara…who knows all about it…
In the grand scheme of things, all this may seem harmless PR padding, but it isn’t. The result is that ‘Maddie-sightings’ are going to end up having the same ring of authority as your bog-standard UFO, Elvis, or Lord Lucan spottings.
And no-one has seen either of them since Madeleine went missing. Interesting…
By the same token, last week’s sensational spin on what most of us guessed anyway, has given the case a dramatic unhelpful ‘Maddie: the sequel’ feel. A background hum of just wanting to keep the story going - to keep selling and exploiting as long as possible.
Read all about it…

‘The class system’………hmmmm not enough on its own to account for everything we have been puzzling over……..mostly it’s the eary tightness of the efficiency of it which is bugging me. Ordinary class stuff which is also big news always would have clear analysis published somewhere in the public domain which could serve to adequately counteract official propaganda, spin etc……..With this we have nothing but increasingly muffled blogs :-((

Noseycow! Unfortunately, in the interests of the poor child we are not definitely not making a doll, as I have decided it was a taboo subject and somebody else may already have taken out a patent!
And we don’t want any more legal issues hampering the search for M.

Actually
I love both the Dome and the Olympics
Coco - How about Maddie bingo dolls, you know Maddie look a likes - you could use any odd shape/size/haircolour/sex ones that have been left over for this

Hello, and I think, goodnight…I am just getting geared up into putting my energy into an anti 2012 olympics. What a bloody waste of money, when we can not afford proper sports facilities in schools for our kids, or proper treatment for cancer sufferers, we hear that the “olympic pool” is going to cost several million pounds over and above its estimate -EDIT
Count me in.
Bliar started with the Dome, and finished with the Olympics. Two of the most expensive follies of modern times. But no one seems to realise that you are all paying for them. And will do for years, probably for the rest of your lives. (I say, ‘you’, because I live in Spain, but of course I am still taxed in Britain, so it should read “we”)
Oh and Northern Rock. Another good investment by NuLabur, who also sold most of the Gold reserves when they were at their all time low.

NO COMMENT from me today.
The Clan and Whoever are really beginning to scare me now! I feel disempowered and vulnerable.
So much so - that I had to have a therapeutic night making new dollies.
In fact I have called this collection of dollies ……. The Whoever Dolls.
These dolls come with lots of different hair-do’s, eyes, noses, mouths, body-shapes and clothing and job-titles! Inter-changeable job titles and wear many different hats by the way!
But they mainly wear business suits and ties and like to play the stock-market!
Beam me up! The Whoever Dolls are here!
JO! JO! JO! Word me up on anything I have missed out on this Collection! X

Gerrys Blog :
We look forward to scrutinising the police files to see what has ACTUALLY been done and, more importantly, what can still be done, as we leave no stone unturned in the search for Madeleine.
Pffft.
Are you serious Karen or having a laugh? Tiny mistake? Hmmm.
A word of advice ‘Don’t have any kids’, they don’t deserve you.
M and A
Willo, think Karen was having a good laugh and probably pi55ing herself too…unless she was abducted during the night by aliens and an implant placed in her brain saying ‘I love Gerry’

False Flag
‘Tis the class system.
And the story. Perfect parents make tiny mistake (that only complete bitches mention) and lose darling daughter to evil paedos and are persecuted by incompetent foreign cops and tormented by endless sightings of their beloved in the company of hag-blondes and swarthy creeps, while being lynched by sick bloggers.
It runs better than ‘Stupid Parents Leave Kid And No One Has A Clue What Happened’.

Hi everybody! Long long time no post but always here…….Like Val…[hi Val !], I am depressed and ever more frustrated at the ease with which some kind of enormous cover-up of ’somethin’ has [imo] very obviously been executed……….funnily enough, I never did really share the optimism of so many of you who seemed confident that ‘truth would out’. Of course I still hope and that is why I hang in here….but I do feel that there is a strong chance that it will not happen. The new ‘detective agency’, its hidden identity and remit will see to that fairly certainly……….all the disinformation, smearing etc is so cleverly [imo], undermining the impact of emerging suspicious and unanswered questions. The fact that a sibnificant but small number of us will never be satisfied, does not mean there is any way we can do anything about that - as far as I can understand things.
And for those who are able as and when the need arises, to innocuously make use of the full range of hidden assistance that we have sensed in this case………they have one more layer of protection against discovery……..namely label any critics as ‘conspiracy theorists’ ! Clever eh ?
When people write about them only ‘being ordinary doctors’ etc………I despair. For so long it has seemed obvious to me that the only explanation for all of this sorry saga, [in particular the extraordinary unco-operative dealings between the UK and the PJ] has got to involve serious Government concerns and involvement - bilaterally…..atleast as I see it.
But apart from the never-to-be-resolved mystery of what happened………there also remain for me, other such disturbing questions as just how all free investigative journalism has been so easily controlled and quashed……..it has truly been a massively successful exercise in controlling public opinion, perception and attitudes. I could still at times wonder if some aspect of it was always intended for this purpose….but I that would indeed, be conspiracy………..by definition !

Madeleine looked an unloved child in many photos, so the fact that she disappeared in holidays in such circumstances is no surprise is it. This whole saga reeks of evil, and someone / some people, somewhere, know what happened to her, and the rope must be getting shorter!

The unidentified person in the photo could be a nanny. I remember reading interviews where a nanny from the Ocean club said she had “high tea” with “the group”. She mentioned they were “very social”. I will look for a link.

I looked to see if by any chance the Vatican had any mention of K & G’s visit. There wasn’t but……………All these McCanns do appear somewhere on the Vatican Web Site.
Robert J. McCann (Stati Uniti d?America)
Ovenio S.R.E. Cardinali McCann
S. Praxedis Presbyter Cardinalis MCCANN
John McCann (Iglesia católica)
Owen McCann, arzobispo de Ciudad del Cabo,
Mrs. Berta McCann (New York)
Seemed an awful lot of them. Maybe it was one of them who jacked up the meeting with the Pope.
Also there is mentioned in despatches a M.Kennedy connected to Cloning of Human Embryos on there. Could explain the sightings of Madeleine.
(M. KENNEDY, G. KELLER, Hematopoietic Commitment During … Cloning of Human Embryos , Kennedy Institute of Ethics)
M. KENNEDY, G. KELLER, Hematopoietic Commitment During Embryogenesis, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 1999, 872, 9-16.
Special Issue: Ethics and the Cloning of Human Embryos, Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal 1994, n.4, 187-282.
The cloning/experiment theory was an earlier thought I (and many others) had back last year. It doesn’t have to be the big ‘P’ word it could be child experiments gone wrong. A failed drug, apart from the annoying loss of a little girl, could cost millions in profits to some people. Maybe that is why they are pushing the ‘P’ theory to the fore.
Just thoughts.
Anyways sun is out and I’m going to take the Kune-kunes for a walk. Oink.

Hello, and I think, goodnight…I am just getting geared up into putting my energy into an anti 2012 olympics. What a bloody waste of money, when we can not afford proper sports facilities in schools for our kids, or proper treatment for cancer sufferers, we hear that the “olympic pool” is going to cost several million pounds over and above its estimate - It is a bloody disgrace and I for one am going to bombard Gordon Brown and his cronies with as much as I can in protest. At the school where my granddaugher attends - they have closed the swimming pool - which incidentally was paid for 30 years ago by parents - they have closed it because they cannot afford to bring it up to health and safety standards. We have just paid 60 pounds for a swimming course for her because we live just a few yards from a river - as do the other kids who attend the school.. It is very important for all kids to learn to swim, but when you local authority tell you that they cannot afford to maintain a swimming pool for children and Gordie and his mates are spending upwards of 20 million pounds for an olympic pool, well quite honestly, it beggars belief. I am on my high horse and I am sorry - but what has to be done, has to be, and what has to be said will be. I have tired of the McCanns, self gratifying attitude, so I think I will search out forums with anti Olympic views and channel my energy towards it - and other worthwhile subjects. Have a good year everyone - and thank you for keeping me amused over the past months. Maybe one day a conclusion will be reached with regard to Madeleine, but I personally doubt it very much. I am just sorry that I and many others put their trust in the PJ to bring justice, one way or another - but it didnot happen. Rest or Live in Peace Madeleine.

What happened to Garth, Maria, C&C, Cheryl, etc today? What a joy it is to read the forum without having to put up with their distractive tactics and inane comments.
Suppose they could be on a team building course. Or has the fund run out?

but she had seen earlier an unknown woman in a purple dress outside one of the apartments, which he later could identify as Tanner
________________________
Ah, so you’re saying they both said they saw purple dress lady?
I’d only read/thought he saw her.
Strangerer & strangerer!
August 11th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Oops, Fair, just notices I wrote “she” where it should have been “he”… Sorry!!!! Can now imagine why you were puzzled about who saw “the lady in purple” … Good night
August 11th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Grande Finale, nothing fits in this saga [apart for Maman, who's very definite in her analysis...]
Let’s try and find out who’s nr. 7 at the Paraiso table, to start with
Tomorrow, that is, because I really have to go to the silken sheets.
Good night GF, Fair, Saul et al

Yes, it was Jes Wilkins, Fair. Don’t doubt yourself, read back…
