GONCALO HERALDS THE END OF THE ROAD FOR CAMP McCANN




We will always support you Goncalo!! Lots of Love to you and your family from the UK, Portugal, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Spain, South Africa, Italy and other nationalities who contribute to this blog which is international in its support of you and what you worked so hard to achieve:




JUSTICE FOR MADELEINE BETH McCANN










Message from Gonçalo Amaral






As you can understand, I can't do any comment about the investigation on the "McCann Case"... (I have omitted the next part, in the interests of privacy but this did not in any way compromise the judicial secrecy laws)Looking towards my freedom of speech, I asked for my retirement last month.




All the insults, false accusations and lie's from the past year are now being brought to court from my lawyers (the very last one is from Daily Mail, yesterday).




I would like to say thank you to the thousands of persons that every day, for the last year, are supporting me all over the world. I would like to answer all the phone calls, emails and letters, but is not possible...there are so many!




As you can imagine, most of the days are not that easy, and these messages have been a great support not only for me, but also for my family. Once again, thank you all!




You're allowed do display this message on you site, and I thank you for that.




One last thing:*Soon, very soon the world will know the "Truth about the Lie" and "we will gain truth and justice for a little girl who has no voice", dead on the evening of May 3rd at apartment 5A, Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Algarve, Portugal"*Best regards,Gonçalo Amaral

Leigh3,

I fear you are right,she is probably dead. I have tried to be pragmatic when posting and not to get annoyed if I can as some of the behaviour and what is printed as fact puts ones BP up. I can only conclude as many have, that it is political help that has destroyed this case and why the Tapas are always so confident. What is one little girl in the mix in comparison to all these people involved with the case. Nothing it looks like.

ta ra said...

Honest Joe,

Have faith. This isn't over til it's over, and it's not over yet. the smarmy types are a temporary annoyance, I think. That sort have always existed. Existed. They die every time they open their lying mouths, and they know it. Tick tock. Time is their greatest enemy, I think.

In fact, I know it is. Justice for Madeleine will come. Libel court. Criminal court. One way or another. It will happen IF the public keep asking awkward questions, and ignore comfortable lies, imo.

Joe said...

Thank you Leigh3,

Its good to see your optimism. I do believe that Rachel Oldfield was shocked at the Blogs and the content. So perhaps at least that will remind them that they may not have convinced everybody of their innocence and the Blogs will a collective conscience for them that will nag and nag them until justice is done.

ta ra said...

Joe,
Night night. I think you are correct when you say that the blogs are beyond their control, and a nagging reminder that they are just plain wrong. Wrong. No matter how much they manipulate the media. No matter how much they imagine the world will do their bidding; believe their trite words.

Tsk. The 30-something generation are a burden of spoilt brats, imo. The McCanns and their holiday friends are the crime of the 21st Century, exposing the 30-somethings as the vain, shallow kiddults in their most extreme form, UK style; tourists visiting their warped values on an unsuspecting world; middle class yobs.

Tsk. Meanwhile, our young men and women die in foreign countries, and spoilt brats in the UK can't even be bothered to 'mind' their own babies because it's their holiday in Portugal, their 'right' to nights out at the bar. Tsk.

Joe: this is not over yet. Have faith. Honest inquiry in all its forms will pursue truth for Maddie, and all children. I takes time. You must know it does.
Night night.

Mark Warner: The little revenge on McCann

The reference to Mark Warner in the new ITV documentary created by the machine communication surrounding Kate and Gerry McCann to report the first anniversary of the disappearance of Madeleine is seen by several employees and officials of the Ocean Club as a small revenge torque to those within the unity of Praia da Luz, were able to cooperate with the Portuguese police.

Contacted in Praia da Luz and the United Kingdom, several employees who côtoyée the couple during their stay in the tourist complex, did not appreciate the alleged statements by the mother of Madeleine during the documentary, revealed today by a " information leak focused, "and responded accusing the couple to know, even before their arrival at the Ocean Club, services available for children.
"Les McCann and their group knew that there was no service listening to children. Even if this service was available, it can never replace the presence and adult supervision," concluded one official.

"They had already séjournée in another complex of Mark Warner and knew very well what is available to them, there always a daycare evening and baby-sitters," said the same official stressed that " the McCann have always refused these services

Cláudia said...

Dolores, so the MW staff cooperated with the Police. And why should that upset them? Cooperating with the police is good because it could help find what happened to Madeleine, right? Unless...

ta ra said...

Hi Dolores of the pink rose.
Yes. Great post! It is most timely.

The whinging of Kate about the lack of a baby listening service also highlights the libel committed by the McCann Machine of media manipulators as in when The Pink One, Clarence Mitchell, their spokesman, was quoted in the Daily Wail (and I mean Wail not Mail!) last week that the Tapas checks were better than 'the baby listening service'.

Err. Wot? Will these arrogants fools never learn? They persist with libel.

Mark Warner and its staff are witnesses under Portuguese law, and comply with secrecy, mostly (some silly staff were bought out of that by guess who?). However, the time will come when the libel committed against Mark Warner and its staff will be addressed.

That is how it works. That is how libel law works. Time tells all, one way or another.

Criminal court. Libel court. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Justice for Madeleine Beth McCann, dead aged 3, beloved sister of twins, aged 2 ... all because her parents preferred time at the bar to time protecting their sleeping infants in a foreign apartment.

dolores said...

Claudia,
Maybe as our dear Leigh said,MW might be upset as certain people on their staff, could have been bought.

Cláudia said...

Well, Dolores, nothing would surprise me anymore, to be honest.

ta ra said...

Just to be clear:

On the Daily Express forum, McCann supporters were told that there was no 'baby listening service' at PDL, yet they persisted in stating that the McCanns did no wrong because Mark Warner had a 'baby listening service' which was less safe than the Tapas9 'checks'.

In the Daily Mail, Clarence Mitchell said the same thing about a week ago.

All of that is libel because it suggests that Mark Warner child care arrangements are deficient. Wrong. All wrong. Libellous.

Vanity and bare faced lies will yet see liars in a court of libel, in my opinion, even if the irresponsible McCanns and their holiday friends escape criminal court...even if they appear in criminal court.

Libel law stands on its own, regardless of criminal proceedings.

ta ra said...

There was no baby listening service at the Mark Warner resort in Portugal. The McCanns declined the baby sitter service, and the dinner time creche. Only one couple with them, the Paynes, had a baby listening device on May 3rd.

Also, there is no evidence of an abduction, except the unsubstantiated claims made by the McCanns, contradicted by physical evidence: no windows 'jemmied', as their relatives claimed.

dolores said...

Alex Woolfall, spokesman for Mark Warner Ltd, confirmed that Ocean Club has never prepared for this type of service and that this information is even "written in the brochures" promotion.

"What we offer is a service nursery opened in the evening where guests can leave their children and go out for dinner," confirmed Alex Woolfall.The British, who acts as spokesman for McCann, had been sent urgently to Praia da Luz to manage the disappearance of Madeleine.

Alex Woolfall is responsible for the management of crisis situations on behalf of Bell Pottinger Group.He has 20 years experience in public relations and is a specialist in difficult cases of real crisis.Its work covers sabotage, the accidental contamination of products (from food to pharmaceuticals), accidents, injuries and death in the workplace, allegations of manslaughter, fraud and theft, use of illegal employment of children, kidnapping, abduction and all activities related to terrorism.

ta ra said...

Hi again Dolores.

Your last post is an excellent, timely reminder of the truth which is easily forgotten when people focus on daily headlines instead of the facts they have already been shown.

Tsk. People complain about the media, but they themselves have the attention span of a gnat, it seems to me.
Night night, Dolores of the pink rose. Press on. This is the world weird web, a 21st Century new media.

Explosive data reported by Inspector Gonçalo Amaral, 25 April 2008
Book reveals Maddie's case Correio da Manhã

Investigation: Explosive data reported by inspector Gonçalo Amaral

The Inspector of the Criminal Police, Gonçalo Amaral, that co-ordinated the team who investigated Maddie's disappearance has already a title for a book about the case: "The true lie".

The CM discovered that the book is almost finished and contains explosive elements about the investigation concerning the disappearance of the British girl in Praia da Luz, Algarve, the 3rd of May last year.

Apart from important data about what happened in that night in the Ocean Club, the "several manoeuvres of counter information" around the big media case of the last years will be revealed.

"It won't be something speculative but factual, with reports of someone who lived the case one hundred per cent", referred to the CM Paulo Santo, the defence lawyer of the PJ's inspector who is in the process of retirement.

The lawyer of Gonçalo Amaral, hired to defend his image after the controversy regarding his removal from the co-ordination of Maddie's case, confirmed to the CM that there is already a publisher interested in the book.

"The fact that the retirement process is not yet fulfilled and the secrecy of justice that are in place at this moment stipulate the publishing of the book" said the lawyer of Gonçalo Amaral. The book will try to put an end to Maddie's case.

Stop Shifting blame, blame Kate!!The SUN by Jon Gaunt

"Now, in a new TV documentary, Kate says that she wanted a baby monitor but the resort didn’t have one. So instead she, Gerry and the Tapas Seven made the bizarre decision to eat out every night and leave three young children home alone.


I’m sorry, in any language that’s child neglect. So instead of touring Europe proposing amber alert systems, I would like them to clearly just send out one message to all parents: NEVER EVER MAKE OUR MISTAKE AND LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN ALONE IN A STRANGE HOTEL ROOM.


And, by the way, I’m not being heartless, just honest. "


And now,The DM´s article: Stop the Carnival, by Richard Littlejohn

Gina said...

Good Morning all - Having heard Kate McCann say in her radio 4 interview that many parents had told her they also had done the same as her (left the kids) perhaps it is time to set up a Parent Alert system for those who seem not to be able to see or accept why children should not be left alone. Can they not see the many dangers. Just a few to make them stop and think, which they clearly did not.

1. choke, having swallow something
or through vomiting.
2. Go outside through unlocked door
(fall in pool, or have car
accident etc)
3. Play bouncing on the bed, fall &
crack head open on tiled floor
4. Go to get a drink & drink
something toxic
5. Play with something dangerous,
like matches etc.
6. Turn on the gas cooker
7. Fall down the stairs
8. Eat something harmful that look
like sweets.
to name a few all of which could prove fatal even with half an hour checks, (which I doubt happened).

Judging by the way Kate spoke although she now regrets leaving the kids, I still do not think the penny has yet dropped why people got so critical on this issue. Many people have defended the McCanns actions, but I think that is only because they will have nothing bad said against them. However I hope if they are honest with themselves they know that what they did was unforgiveable because they put their own desires before the safety of their children.

The PJ are taking a lot of criticism for not finding Madeleine, but let us not forget that it is not the PJ's fault she is gone is it.

IS it just me or are the McCanns getting on your nerves too?


I have enormous sympathy for them losing a child but I am getting fed up of them blaming everyone else for their misfortune.


I heard about the McCanns’ latest trip around Europe while on holiday and although I think the amber alert system is a good idea, when I need tips on childcare from the McCanns I’ll ask.


Now, in a new TV documentary, Kate says that she wanted a baby monitor but the resort didn’t have one. So instead she, Gerry and the Tapas Seven made the bizarre decision to eat out every night and leave three young children home alone.

Smears
I am also fed up to the back teeth of the smears and counter smears from both camps, so why don’t the McCanns and the Tapas Seven just shut up, get on the plane, return to Portugal and do the police reconstruction?


At the same time, why don’t the Portuguese plods stop spinning and start analysing and either charge them formally or remove their official suspect status?

It’s nearly a year since little Madeleine went missing and the focus needs to return to her, not the other characters in this sorry saga.

Ana - good morning everyone!

Thanks for the links to the Sun and Mail. At last a reporter (Jon Gaunt) has the courage of his convictions to come out and say what we are all thinking. Well done Jon Gaunt - the tapas 9 need to put up or shut up, and the PJ's who I am 100% behind, must get something positive into the open soon otherwise it will look like they are prevaricating on the arguidos issue. Having said that, it's not just the PJ's who have to make a move, but the authorities in the UK who have still not sent them all the outstanding data they are waiting for! What with questions not being answered and the UK taking their time in supplying what the PJ's require, it seems a bit like stalemate, and we want checkmate!!

Justice for Madeleine!

Hi all,

Just testing if I can post.

Rori Hegarty said...

Morning Gina, hope you are feeling better today.The thing about parenting is unfortunatley it doesnt come with a handbook and the job description is undefined! Instinct takes over most of the time and im sure that the mc canns have asked themselves several times privately .. why in the name of God did we think it was ok to do what we did? Children ,espescially little tots can never be left to their own devices, enquiring little minds and a sense of being far more able than they actually are present huge dangers.

SwedishMum said...

Good morning,

interesting that there are journalists who actually dare to criticise the McCanns. I thought that had "gone with the wind" when the Express group decided to pay the 550.000.
sky has an article on the radio interview that is rather unbiased.

Great post Gina,

and the last point can't be repeated too many times:

It's NOT the PJ's fault that Madeleine disappeared in the first place.

Good Morning Isis and all

I know we can all make mistakes and probably have, and some people have more common sense than others, but I still find it very strange that the McCanns who should have a high level of intelligence appear to lack it when it comes to basic things. Even now although they have all these regrets I still feel they haven't quite grasped what we have been saying. Maybe that is why many of us were critical of them having anything to do with amber alerts etc. also. The amber alert is only of some value if the police are informed quickly and they didn't even do that.

As Nancy said, it is a lovely day here today, so I am off to enjoy it while I can. xx

Why is Rachel talking about resuscitating a child. Which question was asked?

--------------------
THE TAPAS TRUTH
'The night Maddy went was just agonising. There's no way Gerry and Kate were involved'
By Emily Nash 25/04/2008

One of the Tapas Seven has broken her silence to tell of Kate and Gerry McCann's torment when their daughter Madeleine vanished.
Rachael Oldfield, a 36-year-old recruitment consultant, said: "I was there on the night. I spent time with Gerry and Kate during the week before May 3 and after.

She was there on the night not during the day of 3 may

"Their emotions and their reactions were just agonising. There's just no way they were involved in anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance.
"If you take the common sense approach and look at timings and the fact they are medics and there are four other medics in the group, they would know what to do to resuscitate a child.

This doesn’t match the abduction theory they all believe in. She is talking about resuscitating a child/Madeleine after an accident? It’s like JT’s statement: “I was carrying….” Was Rachel thinking about what really happened that night?.

"Anyone with an ounce of common sense would be able to see they couldn't have done it. And I was there and I know they didn't do it."
They didn’t do what? Abduct Madeleine?. She uses the word “it”. To me it refers to something else than abduction.

Her comments were broadcast last night on BBC Radio 4 programme Searching for Madeleine, who vanished from the family's holiday flat in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3 last year.
Rachael, one of the group of friends who dined with Kate and Gerry, in a nearby tapas bar, also blasted the Policia Judiciaria - Portugal's CID - for "outrageous" leaking of details to the press.
She said: "We were made to understand we could face two years prison for speaking out. There have been these rumours and leaks from sources close to the PJ which we haven't been able to refute.
"We'd have loved to have spoken out and just put the record straight." Rachael also said it was "astounding" Kate and Gerry, who remain formal suspects, had heard so little from the Portuguese police that they could not be sure officers were still hunting for four-year-old Madeleine.

What have Gerry, Kate and the rest of the Tapas done to find Madeleine? Blaming others doesn’t bring Madeleine back.

Speaking on the same show, Gerry, 39, said: "We'd like to know what leads are still being followed."

Gerry buy a ticket to Portugal. You can use the fund money. And start searching for your daughter.

Searching for Madeleine is repeated on BBC Radio 4 at 1.30pm on Sunday 27 April.

Gina said...

Hi Swedish Mum was just off and saw your post. As far as I know Amaral has written a book which is not yet published about this case, maybe it is in that the truth about the lie will out. Ok fine, but I would rather see it happen in a court room myself.

Just read the telegraph. So Gerry thinks the PJ have given up looking for Madeleine as he has not heard anything from them. What a bloody joke that man is, I am sure his arguido status does not prevent him speaking to the police so why the hell didn't he just call them and ask them what they are doing, he does not seem to have a problem talking to everyone else yet cannot be bothered to speak to those who matter

SwedishMum said...

Pinky Mitchell will be delighted with the article in The Telegraph, a book mentioned, offers of more work etc. Pity his mush looks like and old suitcase. Not much more to say really as everybody involved appears to be out to cash in and will do.

Mr.Amaral too , as his book is almost completed it looks like. So the postscript to his supposed email is really an advert for his book thus the truth of the lie that he alludes to will be subjective in reality and spin IMO.

SwedishMum said...

Joe,

it's a true pity that Madeleine has become some kind of backstage figure in all this. As you say, almost all involved in this case seem to be cashing in (and lots of it too).
But I wonder when Amaral will be able to publish his book. He couldn't possibly do it now without violating the secrecy laws, could he?

More from Sky News on Channel 501
Site Web Search: Advanced Search Browse Archive Are Police Still Looking For Madeleine?
Updated:09:40, Friday April 25, 2008

Gerry McCann says he has so little contact with Portuguese detectives he cannot be sure if they are still looking for his daughter.

Gerry and Kate McCannHe said he and his wife Kate have not been receiving any information on the progress of the Madeleine investigation and have been given no explanation as to why police files are still being kept secret.

Rachael Oldfield, one of the couple's close friends and a key witness in the case, described the situation as "astounding".

Interviewed for a documentary, Mrs Oldfield said the couple have had no direct contact with Portuguese detective Paulo Rebelo, the man heading the inquiry.

And she accused the Policia Judiciaria (PJ) of "outrageous" leaking and "double standards" over Portugal's strict secrecy laws.

Kate and Gerry McCann were declared "arguidos" - formal suspects - in the case in September although they deny any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance.

Their status makes any contact with the police far less likely but they have received no information on whether it is to be lifted.

"I think it's safe to say we're getting very little information," Mr McCann told the programme.

"We haven't had any communication in terms of what's been done in the investigation."

"We would like to know what is being done to find Madeleine.

"We'd like know who has been eliminated from the inquiry and on what grounds and what leads are still being followed.

"We've always said we want to leave no stone unturned and to do that we need to know which stones have already been overturned."

Mr McCann said he believed his daughter was still "probably alive" and he had seen "absolutely zero" evidence to suggest otherwise.


Madeleine vanished in May last yearHe said hindsight showed he and his wife "made a mistake" in leaving the children alone, but he dismissed suggestions the couple could face charges of child negligence.

On the same programme, Mrs Oldfield made a staunch defence of the couple against any suggestion they might have been involved in their daughter's disappearance.

She said: "I was there on the night - it was agonising. There was just no way that they were involved in anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance.

"Anyone with an ounce of common sense really would be able to see that they couldn't have done it."

British expat Robert Murat was the first official arguido in the case.

His sister, Samantha, told the programme it was time he was officially cleared of involvement.

She said: "No matter what he does in his life now everyone is going to associate him as the suspect in the Madeleine McCann case.

"It's been a year now and our family have gone through hell, not to mention what Robert's had to go through on his own."

Joe said...

Swedishmum,

I agree he cannot publish until the secrecy period is over. Even then anything he states in it, if it offends the McCanns can and will be contested in lawsuits by the McCanns I will bet so will the real truth ever out, I doubt it now.

SwedishMum said...

Joe,

I too doubt that we will ever know the truth.
Since I'm not British I know nothing about libel laws in UK. Therefore I wonder, if the MCCanns were to sue anyone for something they've written or said would the potential truth in what's been said matter for the outcome for such a case?

Joe said...

Isis,

Is that not the irony of the McCanns?
They had expected the PJ to keep them informed and they suspects. These same people have refused by all accounts to be interviewed. Are they stupid or what? They cannot have it both ways and the PJ I am sure are not in a habit of taking suspects into their confidence.

Joe said...

SwedishMum,

No I do not think it would matter,as any book or article by an author would be seen as subjective. It would take a court of law to establish the truth if possible and then and only then would the facts be objective. This IMO is not going to happen and the McCanns and Tapas 7 will possibly have to live with suspicion for the rest of their lives.

SwedishMum said...

Joe,

"... and the McCanns and Tapas 7 will possibly have to live with suspicion for the rest of their lives"
which is extremely sad if they are innocent. But I still think they could all have been more forthcoming (if we are to believe what we've read about this case so far) and done everything possible to help the police - no matter if there were a risk of neglect charges. We're talking about a child's life, for God's sake, and if it was my child I wouldn't have hesitated a second.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

In spite of all the news on the case and of seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel, I can't help feeling really sad and sorry for all the people involved and deeply affected in this tragic case of an innocent girl that left this world in my country.

If it is true that she died and the parents were somehow involved, the right thing to do would have been to assume what happened and that way their guilt wouldn't be that one they must be feeling by now.They would have spared us all this circus that is getting on everyone's nerves , especially those that are aware of the all press hogwash throughout the last 12 months almost on a daily basis.

I feel sorry for their family members especially those who were also led to believe in the abduction. If this case goes to court and it will be proved everything was a LIE, than it will hurt everyone that have been giving them any kind of support. The twins, too in the future will for sure want to know their life story and will discover all this mess.

I also feel sorry for the people involved in the investigation of thie case that had to say NO to political interference and kept doing their job the best way they could. GA was presented by the Br press in such a form that every decent person could see through the disgusting pieces of journalism written to serve a certain purpose.

The Portuguese are not blind and have known how to deal with all the tricks and press of a country worldwide famous for it and after so much time and efforts it seems to me we have arrived a crucial time when the press is now having a U-turn. That's the risk people take when they enter a game like that. The monster can devour its creator.

Personally, I think GA took the right decision regarding his retirement. He is a man of great intelligence and feelings and this way he can live a different life and do things he has never done due to his committment to the PJ. I can imagine a life of a policeman isn't easy and many of what they face in their job is taken home with them and everyone knows how it is difficult to forget the things and problems we are having at the workplace.

About the book, I have my personal opinion and think he should wait.

Joe said...

SwedishMum,

You are absolutely right. Whatever else transpires with this case, the McCanns not fully and unconditionally co-operating with the PJ will forever be a blot on their presumption of innocence, it is clearly a calculated ploy that they are prepared to live with.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Atardi,

have a nice day.
We have holiday in PT. A long weekend wit nice weather.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Joe, SM,

they have thought it was worth a try simulating an abduction and so zero charges.

SwedishMum said...

Great post Marga!

I can't postpone my commitments any longer and have to leave now.

Have a nice afternoon all!

Joe said...

Marga,

An excellent post.

I agree with your synopsis. If anything it makes us all more cynical about life. Power and money is the real justice, the first two can buy the latter.

I agree Mr.Amaral is in danger of being labeled as an opportunist along with the rest and his book would sell just as well at a later stage.

Wizard said...

Hi All,
Isis’s post of Sky News report tells us exactly what Rachel Oldfield thinks of Fiona Paynes mother Diane Webster when she says.

"I was there on the night - it was agonising. There was just no way that they were involved in anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance.”

"Anyone with an ounce of common sense really would be able to see that they couldn't have done it."

You may remember Diane Webster’s reason for not for the leaving the table on the night of 3rd May was she thought Gerry and Kate were joking as Gerry had been playing jokes all through the holiday and she believed he was up to his usual tricks.

Well as usual in this case there are many options as to the truth of the above statement. Eg.

a) Rachel Oldfield is telling the truth and Diane Webster is lying.
b) Rachel Oldfield is telling her version of the truth because she is easily deceived.
c) Diane Webster is more astute and believed the McCanns to have been acting.
d) Diane Webster is stupid and totally misjudged the situation.
e) Diane Webster is lying about the reason she remained at the table.

I suspect the likely answer to this is (c) but who knows.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Joe, SM,

Thanks.

Now that the case is reached this stage , I think people should take things easily having in mind this is not a war but sth to find justice of the death of an innocent girl. The court is the right place to find the truth.
At this stage no one believes in the abduction.So, silence is golden.

As far as GA is concerned, I think he should enjoy his retirement and also wait to tell his side of the story. Do you know? Nothing is so precious as our inner peace. If you have that you survive everything.
Have a good day.
Time for my jogging.

Abraço!

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

nancy said...

Atardi - if you are still online

I can only assume that Rachel Oldfield mean't that if Madeleine had gone into coma for instance, that Kate and Gerry being doctors could bring her round again. What else could she have mean't and was it a slip of the tongue like the way Jane Tanner said tht 'I carried the child like this'? A very strange thing to say in the circumstances wouldn't you say?

nancy said...

Atardi -

You are so right pointing out the anomolies in those words of Rachel Oldfield - I didn't cotton on to those at the time:-

"Anyone with an ounce of common sense would be able to see that couldn't have done it and I was there and I know that they didn't do it" - as you say what does IT mean!!!

Are they talking about the accident Madeleine had, or are they saying they couldn't have abducted her, or put her in a coma or what - considering she also said they could rescusitate her if necessary!

I don't know why the interviewer didn't pick her up on some of these very salient points, but they preferred to leave it as if the McCanns were the victims here and not Madeleine!

Thanks for that revealing post Atardi!

nancy said...

Atardi -

I meant to say 'see that THEY couldn't have done it'!

bath theory said...

Where is Clarence, a new push on the media and he is nowhere....

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

bath,

what an appropriated word after my jogging time. Well, it's like summer here and I couldn't continue outdoors under this sun!

So, i decided to visit the other blog , commented on sth that was being said about PT and... surprise.. surprise ... no one answered me.

Returned here. We are having bank holiday. 25 de Abril= Freedom

nancy said...

I thought this snippet contained in a report on CM in the Telegraph may amuse some of you:

"On visiting the Pope with the McCanns he was so overcome he reached out to grasp the papal hand and was rewarded with a blessing and a set of rosary beads from one of the priests in the pontiff's retinue"!!

I think he may well be using those rosary beads overtime when the PJ's get through suing him!!

According to the article, CM's salary (70K) is paid for by Brian Kennedy, a double glazing millionaire - no doubt topped up very soon by his book and interviews about his days spent as the McCann's puppet!!

I didn't realise the McCanns and CM were so religous - let's hope people don't let that information put them off going to church!

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Clarence must be thinking of a new strategy but after this article in the Telegraph which is one GREAT reference by the pros... I think he must be very disappointed with the ridiculous way they portray him.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Nancy,

religion has always been used to justify many things.
Nothing new...

ratonthebeam said...

Joe said, "Its good to see your optimism. I do believe that Rachel Oldfield was shocked at the Blogs and the content."

Well not half as bloody shocked as we were at Gerry's blog, Rachel love!!!!

ratonthebeam said...

There is speculation on the 3As that Clarence has been sacked! Haven't seen any definite confirmation yet, though, so IMHO it's just wishful thinking. I do hope it isn't true, or that's another source of cheap entertainment gone :-)

mandarinn said...

Morning all
Hi Marga & Margarida, i can't see the article in telegraph :(((((

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Mandarinn,

i also had problems with the 1st link someone gave us here, but try that one margarida has in her blog.

nancy said...

Hi Rat -

Let's keep our fingers crossed - I said he looked a bit miffed when following the celebrity pair onto the train to Brussels!

Perhaps they are tired of him repeating their inconsistencies!!

"We'd like know who has been eliminated from the inquiry and on what grounds and what leads are still being followed.

nancy said...

mandarina -

If you go to the home page (front page) of the Telegraph and scroll right down it mentions Gerry McCann complaining about the PJ's, and if you click on that you will see a link to the CM report.

ratonthebeam said...

here you go!

Gina said...

Marga your 11.44 post is excellent IMO x

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Gina,
thanks.
It was written with all of my heart.
This case has also changed my life. Believe me.

Gina said...

Marga I felt it came from the heart and I think this case has changed a lot of peoples lives. I sincerely hope that many lessons have been learned from it too and that never again will one child receive so much attention when others receive none. It sound hard I know, but that is how I feel. They are all precious to their families and other parents are grieving in silence and with little help

Joe said...

Mitchell is a star now as well and probably reluctant to share billing with the Egotistical Kate and Gerry. So perhaps his work is done culminating with the ITV movie to be shown next week, and he is off to write his book of pink fiction. Watch out Hollywood.

atardi said...

Hallo Marga,

I agree like others said before. You made a very good post at 11.44.

I think Kate and Gerry didn't realise that this would affect so many people.

They didn't realise that thit would last for so long.

That bloggers are still blogging for Jstice for Madeleine a year after Madeleine's disappearance asking questions.

They really underestimated the public.

ratonthebeam said...

marga said...

In spite of all the news on the case and of seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel, I can't help feeling really sad and sorry for all the people involved and deeply affected in this tragic case of an innocent girl that left this world in my country.

If it is true that she died and the parents were somehow involved, the right thing to do would have been to assume what happened and that way their guilt wouldn't be that one they must be feeling by now.They would have spared us all this circus that is getting on everyone's nerves , especially those that are aware of the all press hogwash throughout the last 12 months almost on a daily basis.

I feel sorry for their family members especially those who were also led to believe in the abduction. If this case goes to court and it will be proved everything was a LIE, than it will hurt everyone that have been giving them any kind of support. The twins, too in the future will for sure want to know their life story and will discover all this mess.

I also feel sorry for the people involved in the investigation of thie case that had to say NO to political interference and kept doing their job the best way they could. GA was presented by the Br press in such a form that every decent person could see through the disgusting pieces of journalism written to serve a certain purpose.

The Portuguese are not blind and have known how to deal with all the tricks and press of a country worldwide famous for it and after so much time and efforts it seems to me we have arrived a crucial time when the press is now having a U-turn.

I can imagine a life of a policeman isn't easy and many of what they face in their job is taken home with them and everyone knows how it is difficult to forget the things and problems we are having at the workplace.

About the book, I have my personal opinion and think he should wait.


Too right. Agree 100% with every word. Hugs (((xxxx)))

atardi said...

Nancy,

Thank you for answering my questions and also for noticing the strange answers from Rachel .

atardi said...

Hallo Rat,

Alles goed?

If you are still online, can you please publish the whole Telegraph article. I don't know how to enlarge the page and find it very difficult to read.

Groeten.

mandarinn said...

Nancy tkx, but i must be blind.. . are there another news paper called telegraph?

Wizard said...

Rachel Oldfield says she had the appartment next to the McCanns - I thought that was Tanner & O'Brien. Can anyone confirm?

atardi said...

Wizard,

I thought also that JT and O'Brien had the apt. next to Kate and Gerry.

Where have you heard/read that?

Two weeks ago CM told that Rachel was in Tanner's apartment on the 2nd of may.

LittleGreyCell said...

Perhaps Clarrie got confused and meant somebody had Rachel in JT and ROB's apartment...

:)

Gina said...

Hi all just popped back having returned from upsetting the other side, so pathetic I cannot believe it.

Swedish are you around, we are in the doghouse again my friend

Rori Hegarty said...

Wizard, i could swear that the mc cannfiles under the section on app 5a, had a pic of the entrance to 5b and underneath was written "entrance to 5b jt and rob app, this is now changed on the mc cann flies to the oldfields, unless the mc files changed it after clarries clarryfication in his interview re ms oldfield being there the night of the 3rd of may. I think we are seeing a deliberate attempt by clarence to confuse several issues.

Wizard said...

Atardi,

Maybe it was CM’s comments – but didn’t Rachel Oldfield say in contradiction of Mrs Fenn she was in that evening and never heard anything. She said she was in the apartment next door – perhaps she meant just visiting Jane Tanner – or perhaps this is where the swingers rumour came from. lol

Wizard said...

LGC - you might have hit the nail on the head. lol

atardi said...

Wizard,

Read LGC's and Isis'posts.

Cláudia said...

Hello, everybody!

Joe said...
Swedishmum,

I agree he cannot publish until the secrecy period is over. Even then anything he states in it, if it offends the McCanns can and will be contested in lawsuits by the McCanns I will bet so will the real truth ever out, I doubt it now.

--------------------------------

Well, we'll have to wait and see... :-)
As for the sueing thing, a very wise person told me recently that some people won't enter a courtroom unless they are forced to. Courtrooms are strange, dangerous places where many times the truth about the lies is found.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Gina. SM,
this was my post there and really wanted to discuss with them every viewpoint on the case because if there are posters there who are also being told lies , I would be glad to talk to them as I can understand their position.
Helen has commented on today's holiday saying guns were not used.

Then sass said that freedom of speech is only sth for the élites.
I made my point and then they decided to delete my posts. The last one I done them the favour to delete it myself.
Now their site is only ALLOWED readres.

What a joke. They had only 13 posta at midday when I decided to post there.

What a comic strip they are!!!


marga said...
Helen,

They are thinking Portugal has achieved something special as it is freedom and a democracy.

And as you well pointed out, flowers (carnations)are its symbol.

It says a lot of the Portuguese peaceful character, don't you agree?

Cheers!

BTW, hope you are enjoying our wonderful weather!
25 April 2008 12:56

Gina said...

Hi claudia, you are getting me all confused with these statements at the moment so I guess I will give up asking what you mean and wait and see.

I just gave Sassy the hump so she has gone delete crazy, seems people on their can say things about Swedish and I, but when I defend those words they are deleted, and apparently I come running back on here making comments about them. What what the hell else can I do if I cannot speak to them direct on there, crazy people

Cláudia said...

Gina, those people (for lack of a better word) in the House of Filth have huge problems. And believe me, those problems of theirs are soon going to increase dramatically!

Gina said...

HI Marga, I copied all the posts I made on there before they were deleted and if I post them on here you will really see how pathetic they have become.

nancy said...

Marga -

Your article is really on the ball!

Let's hope that finalisation of this case is reached very soon so that the family and friends of the people involved can get on with their lives knowing that the truth has been revealed and whoever is guilty for Madeleine's disappearance will pay for his/her/their crime.

I agree with you to a certain extent about GA's book being published a bit too soon, but on the other hand it is now when everything is at it's peak so to speak, that he will obviously be able to sell more books, and to be realistic he will need the money for his family because he is retiring at a very early age - I wish him good luck with it whenever he decides to go to press!

Gina said...

Claudia do you know we only post on here to get a pat on the back from Viv and we all have to agree with her views before we are allowed to post on here at all. I don't think I have won many gold stars from Viv but I am still allowed to post nonetheless

Wizard said...

Isis/Atardi – I do believe the McCannfiles have edited their original information in line with CM’s statement. This actually makes sense as I have wondered why Kate didn’t call out to her friend Jane Tanner (originally thought to be in the next apartment) when she said she found M missing and why Tanner says Rachel Oldfield told her M was missing she did not know before.

I wonder where Tanner and O’Briens apartment was.

Cláudia said...

Gina, if you feel you haven't been patted enough on the back, please tell me. I'm in a wondeful mood and I am willing to do you that huge favour! ;-)

nancy said...

A reported comment from GMc that speaks louder than words:

"One thing is for certain, I've seen nothing to suggest that SHE died and I mean nothing, absolutely zero"!!

The use of the word 'she' instead of Madeleine, or my daughter, to me suggests that he is denying something he really doesn't want to face up to!

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

nancy,

I'm sure he only will publish the book later.
He doesn't need the money.

dolores said...

Wizard,
If R.Oldfield contradicts Mrs Fenn she is also contradiction what Madeleine said next morning.
And anyway it would be on record,the member of MW staff who had to go and find K&G because of the crying,could soon verify the truth and challenge R.O's story.

Cláudia said...

Hello, Marga.
Num te fies na birgem!

Gina said...

No Claudia please please please don't pat me on the back because according to the other site I am just an attention seeker so too many pats will make me even worse

Had to laugh, Sass said she never looks on here but had already seen I told Swedish we are in the doghouse again. Then she posted they had not mentioned Swedish. She must then have looked back and read Helen 11.15 post who was criticising Swedish and I, so she deleted her post. Thank god they do not have over 500 posts otherwise she would get more confused than she is already.

nancy said...

Gina -

I think you said that with tongue in cheek! I'm sure that anyone can disagree with Viv's point of view, as long as they are not rude and disruptive on the blog! Anyone can see that Viv has great respect for your views as we all do!

Nancy x

Stella said...

Many people today have said that they think Goncalo is perhaps releasing his book a little to soon?

I disagree.

He is a very clever man and if he is doing what I think he is doing, it is exactly what I would have done.....

Got you all confused, well here goes.

Who was privvy to so much information? GA

Who can be quite certain therefore who is lying? GA

Who is about to publish all this? GA

If he has got anything incorrect who will need to get him into court to prove otherwise? KM & GM

Do you honestly think they will set foot inside any court, stand up to him and call him a liar????

An innocent person would.

Very clever Goncalo, you have my utmost respect. A highly tactical chess move and good luck.......

Cláudia said...

Gina, lololol. Ok, I won't.
Confused is an understatement, hun. You are a very nice girl! ;-)

Rori Hegarty said...

Wizard, check the mc files,imsure its in there. Even if jt wasnt in 5b, if kate left the table to do her check knowing that jt was not at the table, as she admits being in her app at tennish, surely she would have gone to her app as it is not far away to see if she had seen anything. Imo i wonder if this placing of ro in 5b has been to stop the questions as to why jt never heard kate screaming that night . I also wonder if gerry and jez wilkins did not see tanner that night was it because she did not want to be seen.

Wizard said...

Dolores, it makes you wonder if any of them can tell the truth - they all contradict one and other. The meeting they held last year in a hotel surely was to iron all these contradictions out – but it seems they failed.

LittleGreyCell said...

Gina,

You're never going to persuade ANY Pro-McCann sites/posters to embrace rational thinking or your right to freedom of expression, so don't feel bad. They may make it look like it's personally against you in an effort to get you to stop posting anywhere, but they have jobs to do.

The site you've just been on is largely populated by members of the McCann family, so for obvious reasons (well, to them), they are never going to entertain even questions about their own.

The other sites are set up and controlled by professional manipulators. They have no interest in doing anything other than operating according to their brief, which is to defend the McCanns and (laughable though it is) change the deeply negative public opinion about them.

This obviously involves getting people who aren't pro-McCann to either stop being anti-McCann, or to stop posting.

Some of these Pros aren't very bright (I'm being polite here when I say 'some'), and think insulting people will be enough. Others try personal abuse, or threatening legal action or even worse.

These people are largely desperate; either to do their jobs effectively, and thus continue to get paid, or, for personal reasons, get the McCanns off the hook whatever it takes.

Don't let it upset you, Gina. You just happen not to be on their side.

Gina said...

Nancy/Claudia, nice girl is boo hooing again, I have just been told to go away by the site that welcomes other views as long as they are not abusive (or take them to task for taking comments made on here out of context)

Cláudia said...

Stella, your last past, spot on. I'll leave it at that. :-)

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Cláudia, Stella,

even IF he does publish it, I wish him luck, but IMO it isn't the right time. However, he must know what he is doing...

Cláudia said...

Gina, don't be surprised. If you wait a little longer, you'll see it will get a lot worse! :-)

nancy said...

Mandarinn -

It's called the Daily Telegraph - I think ROTB gave a link in one of her blogs if you can find it! It's near the bottom of the front page and it's a one liner about Gerry - click on that and there is a link to CM's story!

I often try to look up links others put out but I'm not very successful, so I go to the original source and find it if I can!

Good luck!

Cláudia said...

Marga, I trust the man! ;-)

atardi said...

Wizard,

Did all the ladies left the table when Kate had to make the check?

I thought they were all sitting at the table.

Why is it so important that RO was in the next apt. 5b and not JT?

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Have to leave again.

we have 30º degrees here and it is better than summer time.

Read you all later.

Bye!

Cláudia said...

Bye, Marga!
Great weather here too!

Gina said...

LGC I am fair from upset my friend I just hate the way they manipulate things to suit themselves when they cannot answer something sensibly and fairly. They accuse me of talking about them on here (yes I am doing that now I agree) but after I saw a post on there about Swedish and me I went on there to respond, not on here as it was nothing to do with here. That led to one thing and another the bottom line of which they have deleted all my responses which were reasonable and just left their own posts and said I was sent there to distrupt and a load of other old tosh.

LittleGreyCell said...

Claudia,

I presume GA is prepared for the inevitable 'persuasive' tactics to dissuade him from publication which will undoubtedly emanate from such a lovely bunch of victims?

You don't have to answer this, btw.

Joe said...

Stella,

as you say Mr.Amaral knows what happened and I will be very happy to have this case blown wide open so that people can make up their minds as to what they do or do not believe. Good luck to Mr.Amaral
he got nothing but s..t from the McCanns and their disciples.


With regard to the McCanns suing him it would be their lawyers and in a libel case it is the accused ie the author who has to prove what he/she wrote is true, not the injured party the McCanns in such a case.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Cláudia,

reminds me of eddie and keela.:-)

Gina said...

LGC far not fair farden centre and fooey

LittleGreyCell said...

Gina,

You've hit the nail on the head - they are there to manipulate! No other reason!!

Stella said...

LGC

I agree with your last post and would like to add that there are certain individuals who are carefully placed on these sites to act as mediators. When the topic of conversation gets a little to close to the truth, up they pop to change the subject.

I have often wondered if all those names from DE site who have not managed to make it here to talk, have been registered by the pros and stored somewhere for when they will need access to this site?

Cláudia said...

Marga, who or what reminds you of those beautiful, wonderful creatures who never lie?

hope4truth said...

Hi ALL

I had to go back to the Dentist today as I have an infection and it bloody hurts (last time I go for a check up)anyway while I was waiting I was reading First Magazine that was lying around. It was dated May/June 2007 and it had an article about the McCanns and how they left her in a Locked Room even that small piece of information has changed now to an unlocked room so from nearly day one we have been fed a pack of lies no wonder people dont belive them there was no need to lie about it if they have done no wrong....

xxx

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

LGC,

that's why I've said nothing can be so precious as inner peace and enjoying life with our loveley ones without any retaliation a t all.

Bye.

Rori Hegarty said...

Atardi, it is important to have ro in app5b as she was at the table when kate left to do her check. If jt was in 5b, and by her own admission in her appartment at tennish then people, including the pj, are asking why did jt not hear kate screaming for madeleine or why kate did not knock on the door of 5b to ask jt if she had seen or heard anything

hope4truth said...

Hello Stella

I am not here for long and just read your post is GA writing a book???


Sorry have not got time to check everything xxx

nancy said...

Gina -

I must give you a brownie point for your determination to try and make that blog at least debate with you!. No-one can say you haven't persevered, remembering the DE days! It seems like a century ago! I wonder if they will get it going again if things go pear shaped for the gang of 9!

Stella said...

Joe

Exactly and if necessary he would have a mountain full of evidence that could be submitted in any court if necessary. The guy is an absolute genius........

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Cláudia,

your sentence.

There is a similar one somewhere, I think it is in the 3 As " I trust Eddie and keela". LOL

hope4truth said...

Gina

You said you havent won many gold stars from Viv....

I havent won any at all in fact I did not even know about the gold star system...

Oh poor me :o(


LOL xxx

There are Brownie points as well!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope, Hi

Yes, it will be called The truth about the Lie, or something like that, good luck to him, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

hope4truth said...

Stella

Thanks for that I am trying to read back but keep seeing everyone else is on a merit system and I am jealous xxx

Gina said...

Hi nancy as you may recall I posted on here yesterday that I have given up on there making comments about the case because they thrown their toys out of the pram if you say one word they do not like, whilst on here I can disagree without that happening. Today I just happened to look and saw something about me which I wanted to respond to, nothing more but a complete bloody waste of time, apparently we cannot say one word against the McCanns even if we have seen with our own eyes something they have said or done, but they can slag off any poster they like (even if they have taken the words out of context) and that person is not allowed to defend themselves. Apparently, they cannot defend themselves on here so that makes it fair in their opinion. However they say they would not post on here anyway so work that one out, I can't.

See you later need to do a few things xx

Gina said...

Hope you are never going to get any gold stars hun you spend too much time in the farden centre:-)

Joe said...

Stella,

It would be wonderful to see all the uncomfortable facts coming out instead of the one sided spin we have had for the last 11 months.

Cláudia said...

LCG, Gonçalo Amaral, more than anyone, knows exactly what to expect from that lovely bunch of victims, as you call them. He just isn't the kind of guy who turn his back on problems, obstacles and annoying, worthless, little things.

hope4truth said...

Gina

Oh that makes sense now I will avoid the Farden Centre and make a chart xxx

Wizard said...

I've just spent some time looking through the McCannfiles but can find no reference to what appartment number JT had. I think a poster on Viv's blog gave details of who stayed where during the holiday - but gave JT as 5B.

Stella said...

Joe

There was a poster in the old days called The_way_I_see_it. Many people enjoyed reading everything he had to say and I remember one thing he kept repeating. They will never go to court of their own accord?, why would that be? So if the carrot is big enough??

LittleGreyCell said...

Gina,

As in "load of old fooey"? Does CM strike again?

:)

Cláudia said...

Ok, Marga. Thanks.
I don't read 3 As so I didn't get it.
Have a nice afternoon.

Stella said...

Wizard

I was always under the impression JT had 5b. Even when I kept ranting on about the posibility of a heavy bag being passed over the back wall from 5a into 5b, no one denied it.

LittleGreyCell said...

Stella,

They won't last long, though!

Several of us have our fingers on the button...

:)

LittleGreyCell said...

Bye Marga!

Stella said...

Claudia

Thank you for your comment by the way. Perhaps I should say no more, would not wish to spoil the "big" surprise.....lol

hope4truth said...

Hi and Bye LGC

Should you not be re writing things???

See you later xxx

Cláudia said...

Interesting thing. On the House of Filth they are disccusing the fact that the Mccanns are different on and off camera. That on camera they keep composed because that is what they have been told to do by professionals (behavioural psychologists). I'm glad they were able to hear and follow advice. I just find it weird that they didn't act that way when they were told not to publicly reaveal Madeleine's eye detail because that would determine her death. Had she been taken by the fantom abductor (for paedophilia or for child trafficking) and that would be her death sentence as she would become a liability as the most wanted child in the world ever. Coincidencies, of course.

Gina said...

Lgc, a question, how many gold stars do we have to get before we can also get control of the button.

Hi, Stella. You're welcome! :-)
No problem with me. I'm only responsible for what I write! :-)
beautigul day here in Viseu. It's like summer again!

Gina said...

Claudia, how do they know they are different on and off camera. Have any of us ever seen them off camera to know if that answer is true! how do they know??

And yes, I should NOT be rewriting things!

EXITS POST LEFT, STAMPING WHILST HAVING TANTRUM (I'm bored!!!!!)

LittleGreyCell said...

Gina,

I'm speaking purely for myself here, Gina, and most certainly not Claudia or Dolores, but you have to be cr*p at cleaning (just ask my husband)!

My redeeming feature is being good at getting rid of those pesky things that keep bugging you on blogs...

:)

Stella said...

Claudia

Please send that good weather to the UK when you are finished with it if you can ;)

LittleGreyCell said...

Hope,

Don't worry - it's not a chocolate button!

dolores said...

LGC
Nor a belly button. :)

Cláudia said...

Gina, I can't obviously answer your question because I don't know how they know. However, there are many people (who stated it on TV) who saw them behaving differently on and off camera. When there was a camera around they were always holding hands but when the cameras were off their urge to express love decreased a bit, so to speak.

Stella, we've been waiting for this weather until now. I think we won't be finished with it soon! :-)

Gina said...

Claudia I thought they were basing their views on having seen the McCanns themselves off camera, if you know what I mean .-)

Cláudia said...

Gina, I know what you mean. But recently I have been able to understand that at least some of them are not family members as some of us thought they were. I can't explain it further, but close people (close family and friends) would know things they obviously don't know (from the content of some comments).

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

I'm back again.

Cláudia, what a hot weather for our blood pressure..

Coudn't stay outdoors, not even in the garden.

The puppets are already predicting what's going to happen next week.Of course that the catholic priest is not going to involve himself in the circus after the Vatican have removed the pictures on the case...

They are SO SILLY and so PREDICTABLE...

Hi Rosie and Sass,


The Anglican Priest Father Hubbard and his wife Susan, helped the McCanns in Portugal and Susan looked after the twins.
They became very good friends and have visited them a couple of times since they came home.

The other priest did not slate the McCanns for not returning the keys to the church as we were told on the DE.
I think he needs to answer some questions, I would like to know why he is so scared of the PJ, or is he ?
It seems an awful lot of people are scared of the PJ doesn't it?
Jenny Murat said the same when she set up her table.

Hiya Christabel

How ya doing? Thanks for that. Wonder what happened to the Catholic priest - if anything. Wonder if the Catholic church in PDL will do anything for the 1 year anniversary.

Marga, if that poor priest could talk...

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Mandarinn,

are you around?
have you managed to read the article on the Pink one?

dolores said...

Claudia,

Wizard said...

It’s being announced on 3A’s that Robert Murat will post on there tonight. 7.00pm. Another flight of fancy from 3A’s or tue?

Cláudia said...

Dolores, I know. But he would still have a lot to say if he could. And if he wanted to.

Gina said...

Marga as you have been over there too maybe you would like to answer one of their questions which you may have seen, 15.34, sometimes you speak in broken English to hide your true identity then you also can write with clarity. The detectives are on to you Marga, lol :-)

Cláudia said...

Hey, Wizard, no idea. I don't read the 3 As (find it very confusing and hard to follow and they concentrate too much on wild theories although there are some interesting things there) so I don't know if it is accurate or not.

Margarida Cruz e Silva said...

Cláudia,

I have believed Rosinha was a family member but she7he must be the coach there to decide what answers should be answered and so on. The others don't have FREEDOM to decide if they delete or not , answer or not...etc.
MANIPULATED PAID GHOST..

Well, their time is coming , too.

LittleGreyCell said...

Dolores,

Or a button mushroom...

:)

Cláudia said...

Marga, some of the people I suspected could be family members or close friends certainly aren't. I'm positive.

Ana said...

Hi everyone,

It seems The McCanns are, now, trying a deal with the Portuguese authorities,to returnto Portugal without being worried! They want assurances that they will be not arrest?! Oh and some Brithish diplomats are helping!!!

Google’s translation
«Lawyers and diplomats to the rescue of the McCanns

Kate and Gerry want assurances to return to Portugal
It were the couple’s lawyers who began the first contacts at the highest level to obtain some sort of immunity that could allow Kate and Gerry McCann to travel to Praia da Luz, Portugal, without being worried.

The approach of the couple’s lawyers was followed by the intervention of British diplomacy in Portugal. According to a source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Foreign Office) informal contacts were made with the Portuguese authorities to find out the real intentions of the Prosecutor and the Judicial Police (PJ), especially for what concerns the reconstruction of the events of May 3, 2007, the day of the disappearance of Maddie, as requested by the investigators.

Gerry and Kate McCann had certainty, after their return to the United Kingdom last September, that their status arguidos be abandoned before the end of 2007 but neither their lawyers nor the media pressure exerted by their relatives were able to change the normal court of justice in Portugal.»

Gina said...

Wizard I personally will take that remark about Murat posting with a large pinch of salt. He has stayed quiet this long so I cannot see why he would risk making a wrong move at this late stage. Also I am sure he has tied up an exclusive with someone for when he is able to speak, so why risk blogging now when many will not believe it is him anyway

SwedishMum said...

Hi Gina,

glad you're still on.

What have I done now?????

LittleGreyCell said...

Well, I'm off for a bit now.

See you later...

:)

Cláudia said...

Hello, Ana! :-)
And why would they be worried? Why would they fear being arrested? They are innocent, right? They have done nothing wrong, right? Their actions are well withing the bounds of responsible parenting, right? Why? ;-)
