Madeleine McCann: Adopted by Angelina Jolie, And The Changeling
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
DAILY MAIL: “A mother leaves her child while she goes out - and returns to an empty house. No, not the McCann case but the true story behind a gripping new film”
Fact. Fiction. Can you spot the difference?
She was a devoted mother, hard-working, determined and tough. Then, one spring morning, Christine Collins kissed her little child goodbye (leaving him under the eye of neighbours), before returning in the evening to an empty house. Her beloved son had vanished without a trace.
A continent-wide hunt was launched and a shocked nation was kept agog by a string of leads - only for their hopes to be cruelly dashed as each clue led to a dead end.
The child was never seen again, the mother was heartbroken and the community was left divided by suspicion and mistrust.
Terrible. Just terrible. Does it work out in the end?
It could be the tragic story of Kate and Gerry McCann and their three-year-old daughter, Madeleine, who was abducted last year while on holiday in Portugal, and who remains missing to this day.
It could be, albeit with better lighting, a decent cast and a 15 certificate… Gone, Baby, Gone…
But, in fact, it is the plot of Clint Eastwood’s latest film, Changeling, which opens in Britain later this month.
But it’s all false, right? Angelina Jolie is only acting, right? Unless she adopted Madeleine?
It is all the more powerful because it is based on a horrific true story. The so-called ‘Wineville chicken coop murders’ took place on the outskirts of Los Angeles in 1928.
And while they happened 80 years before Maddie McCann disappeared, there are startling parallels between the two.
The McCanns’ grim experience in Praia de Luz - and how they were made suspects by bungling local police - was widely reported.
But Christine Collins suffered even worse treatment at the hands of the LA Police Department. As the investigation into her missing child failed to yield results, she was even locked up in a mental asylum.
It’s enough to drive you maaaaad. Maaaaad, I tell yer…
As in the McCann case, rumour followed rumour.
Each one recorded for posterity…

Clouseau! I have just done a belly laugh at the term you have just used! I will be calling people knobjockey herberts all day now! Not on here of course - but whilst I am out. lol
BF! That is disgustin’ wot you have said about the can of Tennents!
Ughhhhh! But I bet the CuckooClam and Professor Pam have the same fantasies. LOL!
I used to watch them getting all giddy and goading the GONAD Brothers to talk more bollocks!

Raspy was pissed off when I asked him a question the other night I think he spent 2 days looking for the answer….had he of asked me I could have saved him some time…
I know you are looking Raspy anorak is addictive ….come back as we are left with pantyline Pam and Garsehole

CLOUSEAU and BRANDONFLOURS! XX
Good Heavens! We appear to have encountered some concerted wrath!! lol
This is now Four Weirdies all in a row acting suicidal! And all are four of the biggest attention-seeking self-serving Arses on the thread!
What shall we make of this concerted effort? Knew they not Portugal?
Knew they not The Files! Mmmmm!
The quality of mercy is turning shrewish and I have two gentlemen on the way to Verona that keep saying Macbeth!
November 8th, 2008 at 11:48 am
has Raspy really gone for some geography lessons or has he just spat his dummy out again?
November 8th, 2008 at 11:47 am
MODS! May we give the scoundrel that is GONAD LF his own thread or blog.
I think he is just too weird to be on here. Him and his mate Arseputin and the Hanger On Hags like the CuckooClam and PammyWammy have already starting bowing out - but this one needs somewhere to play on his own or with the other similar Weirdies who don’t think the thread is the same boo hoo!
I have always been spooked by the sex angle that GONAD drives towards - after all this is a thread about a missing child and her strange parents - not sex!!!?
Or does this Weirdy-One connect the two together?
I think this is what the CuckooClam does not approve of!
ME! Because I jump on the Fuck-Wits like GONAD and put them in their place. And the fact that I tell her off for supporting such dreg-type creatures.
Tsk! Tsk! lol

That you’re a fruitcake ?
November 8th, 2008 at 11:35 am
I know you are right Matt..
And I think that the Alien or Aliens placed the body in the areas discovered and sniffed out by the dogs. So the Alien must have been hanging around for at least two or three hours for this to happen.
Psychically - I am being given a block of flats - not terribly far from the OC - but I cannot send you the link because I can’t concentrate the image without being accused of libellous and scurillous activity! lol
Wow! Three people - PammyWammy, Rasputin and the CuckooClam have left us - or sort of said they have left us in a short space of time! Making out that it’s because they are insulted either by my lack of intelligence or insults!
However - you are dead sensible and loads of our other sensible posters are still here - so what does that tell us then?!!! lol

Is this why BF you two timing boogie queen………………….There is one exhibit in the museum which makes Knyazkin be especially proud of. This is the 30-centimeter preserved penis of Grigory Rasputin [see photo].
Photo courtesy St. Petersburg Erotica Museum
“Having this exhibit, we can stop envying America, where Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis is now kept. … Napoleon’s penis is but a small ”pod“ it cannot stand comparison to our organ of 30 centimeters…” the head of the museum said.
Rasputin, nicknamed “Mad Monk” by historians was born in 1869 in Siberia, arrived in St. Petersburg in 1911 and within a few years had become one of the most influential men in government circles. His rise to preeminence was due to his close relationship with Nicholas II’s wife, Alexandra. The heir to the throne suffered from hemophaelia, and only Rasputin could stop the boy’s bleeding. Because of this, Alexandra believed he was a holy man sent to protect Alexis and she kept him close by at all times.
However, many historians point to the unusual cult that Rasputin practiced at the Emperors’ court — a strange mixture of Christianity and sexual practices. Many of the noble women were believed to be in sexual relations with Rasputin, possibly including the Empress. Something that size might give the mad clown coconutter something to chew on, but with the size of her gob she would probably manage it sideways……….

To assist and to archive processes (2)
by Gonçalo Amaral
“I make an appeal to you from where I stand: do intervene, with the knowledge and the competence that you are known for”.
The Lawyers’ Order has made itself an assistant in a case trial concerning alleged torture that was committed by policemen against a woman who was condemned for her daughter’s death. It could make itself an assistant in other cases as well, like those of corruption and of financial criminality in general. As far as we know, it hasn’t made itself an assistant in inquiries like those of ‘Operação Furacão’ and Freeport.
It would be nice if the Lawyers’ Order wouldn’t leave us thinking that it doesn’t do so because there the suspects or arguidos aren’t policemen. Certainly not. Alas, in these cases, I prefer to think that it didn’t do so due to pure distraction; therefore, I leave an appeal to whomever it may concern. Not only concerning processes of financial crimes but also thinking of so many other situations. Mister President of the Order, as a father and as a citizen of this country, I make an appeal to you from where I stand: do intervene, with the knowledge and the competence that you are known for, and make yourself an assistant in all of the criminal processes where the law permits such.
This is the only way that you can become a precious instrument in the fight for the un-archiving of those cases where the victims were helpless children. This is the only way to prevent that processes are archived without everything having been investigated, and justice done.

As R O’B and J Tanner both gave testimonies that their apartment was
under constant supervision by either one or the other of them, (and indeed by
MO too, though I am at a loss as to why he should testify that he too “checked”
the Tanner apartment, even when R O’B was present there), it is possible that
only Maddie’s remains were in apartment 5a that night, for a time.
November 8th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Matt. My sentiments entirely!
Good Morning Portugal! Good Morning to the Clan!
Of course - I still believe in the Alien abduction theory and always will until there is a scrapof evidence to say that ……………….. there was an abduction by a human being of MM.
I am wondering how a human being full of death scents managed to hang around for at least two hours whilst the Clannies were in and out and in an out and in and out and checking and checking - and writing time-lines and checking and checking.
Never checking all the other kiddies! Just checking on the McC kiddies.
Weird how a McC kiddie went missing when they were being checked and checked and checked again - but the ones who were seldom checked were snuggled up safe and sound! Weird!
What a cheeky death-scented Alien!

“The PJ and the Posters”.
A good title indeed.
I understand that the PJ do read the posts on some of the sites.
As do the McCann Lawyers, if Clarence is to be believed.
I would have thought they would have better things to do with their very
expensive time though.
Must cost the pensioner’s, children and others, who donated to the Fund, a bomb.

Good morning, c&c.
I prefer to look in the Official Files now, those that are available, of course .
And I can’t see any reference whatsoever to the McCann’s asking for Eddie
and Keela.
I think it was sometime in early August that the apartment and the villa
were “sniffed out” by the remarkable canines.
Must have been a Newspaper report you were referring to, alas.
Such is life.
Take care.
November 8th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Eeeeee bah gum! It’s not like it used to be on ‘ere at all!
What I think she means - as a loose translation of the twisted syntax is - that it is not like when we had absolutely no factual information - so people like her could dominate the threads by telling us that doctors are above reproach!
But now we have The Files - well - it’s really rather different!
My blind mate on the galloping horse picked up more information than she ever did.
Eeeeee bah gum! It’s not the same as it used to be at all.

November 8th, 2008 at 10:38 amAs you know I rarely look here anymore, the ad hominem insults are too silly for words and life’s too short .
You of course have always been civil even though we disagree! Not like it used to be sadly…. off again now. Have fun!
………………………………………………………………………………
I really rather hate loose usage of Latin! Here is somebody who does not understand the two words that she used - in their entirety!
And …………… As I recall with my brilliant memory it was the CuckooClam herself who started to trade insults on this particular thread. Sadly some of it at me and other feeble posters.
Talk about absolutely no substance to any argument - so let’s have a personal pop at the posters!!!
Fucking brilliant! You really couldn’t write some of the crap that we see on here??????????????????????????????

I very much doubt that whatever is said on here will have much relevance in
such a Court Case.
………………………………………………………………………………..
LOL! Wouldn’t have any relevance at all. Which makes me laugh when they keep telling us that we are being libellous or deliberately getting us to be libellous!
Any Judge would see that posters were deliberately enticing us by their ridiculous and inept posts - and chuck it straight out. So I can never see their purpose on being here anyway.
Except to offer support to the Clan - who have quite enough support from what I have seen.
Whereas MM has zilch support - apart from the PJ and the posters.
I have a book coming out next year called ”The PJ And The Posters!”
Do you like the title? lol
November 8th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Morning again Matt.
It’s all on Google! No I’m not giving three links and getting spammed but you’ll find it all if you avoid the blogs. McCann Files are the most honest I find!
As you know I rarely look here anymore, the ad hominem insults are too silly for words and life’s too short .

However, the “winding-up” is purely counterproductive.
All it achieves is that it gives us the opportunity to challenge their silliness,
repeat and thereby reinforce the many contradictions relating to the testimonies
of the Tapas9.
November 8th, 2008 at 10:18 am
I wonder if the Uber-Pros have come to the conclusion that their deliberate collusion in winding up the posters on here will not look good in a Court case - and look somewhat protracted? lol
November 8th, 2008 at 10:13 am
I just hope that this film puts paid to the Clan making their own film about such a strikingly similar story.
Eddie and Keela are having a lie-in today. They are comfortable in their own skins.
And still - TWO HUNDRED AND ONE - AND NOT OUT!
