Madeleine McCann: Goncalo Amaral’s Film, Selling Maddie And In Uganda
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE SUN: “Maddie’s leech cop”
It’s Goncalo Amaral. There’s a picture of the copper and the caption: “Coining it … disgraced ex-police chief Goncalo Amaral on location.”
No, Amaral is not now working as a private detective, nor is he running a team of private detectives.
The shamed cop who led the Madeleine McCann probe is cashing in AGAIN — with a TV film.
A film about Our Maddie. Tsk! What low life would consider such a thing, let alone actually make it? Better to keep it to a TV special.
Parents Kate and Gerry were “disgusted” last night after ex-police chief Goncalo Amaral was seen with a camera crew at the Algarve apartment where the three-year-old vanished.
The media at the scene? Well, so long as it keeps her name in the public eye, right?
Portugal’s Channel 3 confirmed he was making a documentary for them — after already coining it with a book about the case earlier this year.
So much did he make, then? More than Murat? More than the Sangria 7? More than the McCanns? More than Metodo 3? More than Clarence Mitchell? And what did he do with the money?
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell fumed: “He seems determined to make as much as he can out of Madeleine. He should be ashamed.”
Yes. And the facts?
A local in Praia da Luz, where Maddie vanished, said of the TV film: “It’s sick.”
And the facts?
THE AUSTRALIAN (Aus): “Maddie book to be made into film”
A BOOK by a Portuguese detective who investigated the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann will be adapted for a television documentary, according to its producers.
Some facts.
Ex-detective Goncalo Amaral - who has sold 180,000 copies of Maddie - The Truth of the Lie - will narrate the documentary, which began filming this week in Algarve, the region where the girl went missing in May 2007.
That’s 180,000 copies of a book no-one wants to read. If we publish extracts form the book, we run the great risk of being sued by the McCann’s lawyers. Should we run extracts?
In his 214-page book, Mr Amaral repeats accusations of involvement by Maddie’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, in their daughter’s disappearance.
The parents are innocent. So why then can’t we see the lies? In Portugal you can read the book, but not in the UK. Is this censorship?
DAILY TELEGRAPH (AUS): “Book about Madeleine McCann to be made into documentary”
“This documentary, currently being filmed, is based on the book by the former judicial police inspector,” Cristina Valente, a manager in the Portuguese production company Valentim de Carvalho, said.
HA-ARETZ (Israel): “U.K. Jewish students to protest Uganda child abductions at Jerusalem rally”
A group of British Jewish students will march in Jerusalem on Thursday to protest the plight of the some 30,000 children abducted in Uganda over the last two decades.
The rally will be one of more than 100 worldwide, coordinated by the international “Gulu Walk” campaign for the Ugandan children.
Sounds terrible…
The conflict’s being going on for 22 years, and as it’s not on our doorstep - and it’s not about a little blonde girl called Madeleine McCann - people don’t care,” said Deborah Blausten, an organizer of the Jerusalem march.
What’s the story?
According to a recent United Nations report, at least 30,000 children have been kidnapped in Uganda over the last 22 years. After their abduction, many are forced into becoming child soldiers and sex slaves.
Madeleine McCann - a child is missing, still missing…

Just before the public outrage which forced the good doctors to cancel their plans for a film drama on their much mouned daughter, Mr Mitchell is on public record telling hacks that “While it is great fun to speculate who might play particular roles it is too early yet” GREAT FUN CLARENCE???? He has the nerve to criticise Dr Amaral - It beggars belief….

have u got any doubts that the free masons were behind this case? occult societies like to abuse children in many ways. jerry is a close friend of of gordon brown, himself a mason. nothing that they said matches, but usually when someone is close to the truth (goncalo amaral), some masons r very fast in creating a disruption ou accusation, supported by other prominent masons . we’ve got them in portugal, u know? jose manuel durao barroso is one of them. through one of his former ministers, carlile company (yes, the bush one) got a contrat with a huge gaz company, in portugal. no wonder he was asked to leave the portuguese government, when he was, actually, the portuguese prime minister. and as u can see very well, he’s taking a major role in helping the elite establishing the future new world order.
poor goncalo amaral was just too close to the truth and had to be aliminated and discredited.
now, who do u think it’s behind the main newspapers, tv channels and so on?? have a very good think !!!!!!!
-agw: Freemasony is no more responsible for this than pigs are forbidden to eat worshippers of Islam or fish hold Formula One pit wheel-changing sessions for feminists’ bikes. A post worth leaving for the nonsense value.
I will declare an interest…like most journalists I know… I am not and never could be a Freemason, member of Round Table, Lions International or the Rosicrucian order. Not one of them would have me.

Re. apostrophe, your settings are wrong - you probably have US settings on. OR a US/international machine with UK settings. In any case try the No. 2 key or the one just left of the return key
Don’t know which OS you are using but windows settings can be changed from the control panel - regional settings (date, time etc)

You should never repeat rumours BF, it shows a certain lack of class, even in the dark place.

I will let others make their own decisions as to whither the above is opinion or to use one of our more colourful posters terms, bollox, bollox wins hands down.

I still think that the payouts are all part of the cover up.
So……
Felons sue
Papers roll over and pay.
Felons reward papers via back door, enough to cover payouts and a little extra to oil the wheels.
Result : Felons look innocent. It scares off other media. Set a benchmark for innocent ex-pat payout who deserved more. Everybody happy.
Except, Madeleine, Amaral and those others who seek true justice.
The British legal system is being politically controlled.
Why so after the death of a mere 5 year old girl?
Could be understood maybe if justice were tweeked to prevent a nuclear war. But interfering over a five year old? What is really up?
Someones arse or several arses are being covered by political forces.
And don’t go on about the great clean upright British justice system. It’s bent the rules and fucked up this time. Corruption is present. Not in Indonesia or Zimbabwe, in Britain.
I await that mods speel about stand up and be proud to be British. Pffft. Your legal system is as bent in parts as much as any so called third world country.
Difference is corruption in other places is somewhat unorganised and random, bent officials look after no.1. In Britain it looks like it is more organised and the ‘upper classes’ benefit a lot by the turning of blind eyes.
I see stig the racist is still posting who among with the other wankers keep defending the indefencible. Dragged a good forum down. Mind you the mods ain’t helped. Pity the good ones were chased off.

Stig - maybe your dad read Dickens?
’If you talk of Murphy and Francis Moore, gentlemen,’ said the lamplighter who was in the chair, ’I mean to say that neither of ’em ever had any more to do with the stars than Tom Grig had.’
’And what had he to do with ’em?’ asked the lamplighter who officiated as vice.
’Nothing at all,’ replied the other; ’just exactly nothing at all.’
’Do you mean to say you don’t believe in Murphy, then?’ demanded the lamplighter who had opened the discussion.
’I mean to say I believe in Tom Grig,’ replied the chairman. ’Whether I believe in Murphy, or not, is a matter between me and my conscience; and whether Murphy believes in himself, or not, is a matter between him and his conscience. Gentlemen, I drink your healths.’

Spongebob,
He was good at sleuthing, don@t know why he left Anorak, he doesn@t moderate
for you know who either. Notice how I get an at sign when I try to do an
apostrophe, why is that? It is the same whether I use Shift or Caps Lock.

That’s very funny - Stevo in league with Saturn
How very appropriate.
Goodnight all - Stig out….
October 24th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Val
Perhaps more correct to say that your issue, re. Stevo’s many theories, did not involve Baby Grace.
There have been very, many Stevo’s theories. Ah why did he leave us? He was so very entertaining
October 24th, 2008 at 12:05 am
Spongebob/ The Real Stig
No Stevo”s theory was nothing to do with Baby Grace, I never quite understood it and
at the time he and another poster, Saturn was it? used to use pages and pages discussing
their theories. Probably, if you went back to last November in the Archives you”d
find their posts, that”s when I joined Anorak. No good me looking, I wouldn”t know
where to start.LOL

Sorry Stig
Had a bomb up my arse for a mo -
Krusty would be so proud… though I’m not letting her anywhere near it! I have some standards. Not many, but…

October 23rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Val
I think that was all part of Stevo’s convoluted plot to try and reason that the body of poor Riley Ann Sawyers (Baby Grace) was in fact Madelein’s. It had something to do with the trip to Huelva (sp?) and a body in a box being put on a ship, which was going to Galvaston? where AZ has a presence. - or something like that.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Val
Which Stevo theory are we on then?
The baby grace theory?
The drugs baron theory whereby M was sacrified in return for the IVF/Gerry’s promotion/etc

The doggies’ findings are meaningless unless there is other evidence to show
If they killed her and disposed of her body via the car, took her by car and disposed of her, ther would be loads of dna in that car. Three dodgy cells don’t cut it. There would be so many cells that the handcuffs would have been clasped within the first sniff.
If they killed her and left her while they went for dinner, there would be plenty there too. Not least of which in the cupboard or whatever.

Does he need any more? If so, he can look elsewhere for a top-up.
I feel queesy at the thought of said individual. My father had an expression for a distasteful person - Gow Lighter. I asked him what it meant and he said it was a person who lit gas street lamps. I must have misheard or have misspelled the name because I have tried to find it but it seems to be beyond Googles ken.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:46 pm
The Real Stig
Remember Stevo had this idea that Astrazeneca were involved and had on several
occasions used Mark Warner Resort for Conferences etc . John McCann worked
for AZ and took an extended leave of absence, might be back there now since the
Directors of NSU seem to be doing nothing.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Stig
No idea about the doggies. Their evidence could or could not be indicative. At best. But never in isolation.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:35 pm
SpongeBob
I was wondering what you were ‘on’ for a moment there.
I have said it before, the doggies fingering the car was one woof too many - IMO.
The scenario that implied would have been on par with a busy Pink Panther movie - without any comic aspect of course.

Wouldnt encourage you to take advantage of the child care facilities would it? Which is why i never understood the mccs sending their twins there after m disappeared. If an abduction had taken place, they would be my immediate suspects and i wouldnt let my other kids out of my sight
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:18 pm
I have no idea Stig
My main issue with the McCann bollox is that there is no credible way the could have ‘dun it’ despite the timeline bollox; the dogs possibly, but not in isolation; and the non (oh yes oh no) dna evidence
The deal is: get the evidence. Evidence that can convict. End of.
Not some wanker trying to make a name for himself again and again. And again. They are not going to convicted of child neglect, no matter how you might wish it
You might not like them. Too bad.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Close to their chest? I agree. Anyway I’m off. As Scarlet O’Hara said “Tomorrow is another day”.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Watcher
I have wondered why a company would act so speedily in removing potential witnesses from the scene. The MW name has cropped up at regular intervals, and often I have had a ‘feeling’ they have been playing things very close to their chest and that the interests of MW have always been put before all else.
While Madeline’s disappearance probably had a negative effect on their business, I can think of scenarios where things could have been a lot worse.
What do some people keep saying - follow the money?
Ignore me, just musing.

I think it would be instructive if you refreshed your memory as to the sequence of events when a number of newspapers reported that Kate McCann had expressed criticism of Mark Warner in a tv programme.
The important point, from my perspective as a Moderator, was that Clarence Mitchell appeared at the speed of light to hastily assert that she had been misinterpreted and that she had no criticism of Mark Warner in any way.
A company which employs excellent lawyers as well as excellent PR people.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
And they would do that to discourage the press asking questions of their staff, I suppose. I guess their main objective was to keep functioning as a holiday resort. Unless …………………………………….
