Here
I have tried to pinpoint things said by relatives and friends, who
perhaps thought they were being supportive and helpful, but which,
and who, turned out not to be.
Some
of the things said either damaged the “official
story” as
it was at the time - because as we know even that has changed with
the seasons - or caused researchers to focus on the point being made.
All
the stories told to the press by close relatives and friends about
broken, smashed, forced, and ’jimmied
- or whatever the word is . . “
shutters, and doors hanging off hinges are directly traceable back to
the McCanns. The sources concerned had clearly been given the same
story, and urged to contact the press. Some degree of embellishment
may be expected, but the overall story from at least five sources is
remarkably consistent.
The fact that the British press and media put out those stories, across the country, at the same time that live video was being streamed on news channels showing a hapless Scenes of Crime officer attempting to find a mark on obviously Un-smashed, -jimmied, -forced, or -broken shutters was the starting point for scepticism for many of us.
1st
prize Uncle
John McCann - Maddy’s
‘jammies
Pride
of place must surely go to Uncle John.
According
to John McCann: "Kate
dressed Amelie in her sister's pyjamas and the baby said: 'Maddy's
jammies. Where is Maddy?'
Even
the devout Kate (see later) must cringe when she reads that.
‘Out
of the mouths of babes and sucklings’ Matthew 21:16
In
two
words Amelie demonstrated
a)
The pyjamas were
Madeleine’s - and logically therefore Madeleine was not wearing
them when she ‘disappeared’. The implications of this are surely
obvious.
b) There
were no
duplicate pyjamas owned and worn by Amelie, as the McCanns
mendaciously and unconvincingly claimed later, when they realised
they had been caught out having shown Madeleine’s pyjamas in
public.
b)
Madeleine was
known as Maddy
within the family, despite the subsequent mendacious insistence by
Kate that this contraction was an invention of the press. Amelie
neatly corroborates everything the world already knew.
Not
bad for 2 words from a 2 year old ! Many thanks to Uncle John for
telling the world.
2nd Susan
Healy -
Kate’s mother - medication
The
whole history of denials that the children had been given any
sedatives or other drugs, or whether they had been sedated by anyone
else has been researched in detail and reported elsewhere.
Over
four years the McCanns’ story moved from initial recognition and
acceptance, to outright denial, back to implied acceptance of
possibility, then strenuous resumed denials, using the words
“ludicrous,
nonsense, no suggestion”, and
then finally to a renewed acceptance of the possibility, followed by
public statements that it MUST have happened. (though one came from
the risible David Edgar, and so may be cheerful ignored)
Kate’s
mother was more succinct . ’They
took Calpol’
3rd Clarence Mitchell - wristwatches and mobile phones
Mitchell
deserves a special study. His ability to invent stories, to lie, to
‘spin’, and otherwise to distort the truth is in a class of its
own. Pages, if not volumes, of his mendacious howlers have been
documented, and it quickly became normal for anyone with genuine
interest in the case to start by believing the exact opposite of
whatever he had said - until the contrary could be proved. Mostly it
couldn’t.
It
will be interesting to see if work such as his is included in any
attempt to clamp down on “Fake News”
One
of Clarence Mitchell’s more notorious outright falsehoods was to
the effect that none of the group had watches or mobile phones with
them, and that therefore the exact times they gave were not to be
taken as wholly accurate. Unfortunately for him he said this in April
2008, nearly a year after the Tapas7 group had drawn up two
separate and detailed time lines on the night, and a third
mutually agreed amalgamation of both,
but also the
statements of the Tapas 7, of Gerry McCann “When
asked at what time he went to check on the children the night
Madeleine disappeared, he recalls that this was around 21:04
according
to his watch”,
and subsequently Kate McCann in her book “by
his watch”,
all contradict his mendacious assertion.
He backtracked six weeks later. Quite why Mitchell invented, or was asked to tell this particular lie is difficult to understand.
He backtracked six weeks later. Quite why Mitchell invented, or was asked to tell this particular lie is difficult to understand.
What
it did however, was to prove even to the most loyal McCann supporter
that facts were now largely irrelevant to the ‘official story’,
and that nothing Mitchell said could be believed.
4th Grandma
Healy - again. Religion
According
to the official line the McCanns were, or are, a religious Roman
Catholic couple. Evidence adduced for this was their calling for a
priest soon after reporting Madeleine missing, a very early trip to
Rome to meet the Pope - both in preference to searching for their
missing child - private use of the local church and many other
reported issues.
Kate’s
publicly reported “Forgiveness”
for the alleged predatory paedophile who has been holding, and we may
suppose abusing, Madeleine for the past decade is a matter of record,
but is set against her published hatred and wish to harm the man who
was leading the investigation into the disappearance.
The
Press did their duty with ‘Their
family says the couple's ordeal has left their staunch Catholic faith
undimmed.'
For
clarification we may need to heed the words of Kate’s mother,
Susan Healy
“Kate
and Gerry were not the most devout family."
5th Grandma
Healy - YET again. Size of her daughters ‘décolletage’
“Mrs
Healy has been a staunch defender of her daughter and has spoken out in
the past about how Mrs McCann has felt persecuted by parts of the media.Last October, she claimed that her daughter, Kate told her: “If I weighed another two stone, had a bigger bosom and looked more maternal, people would be more sympathetic.
Special
Award
Philomena
McCann / Philomena Rickwood / Mrs Tony Rickwood - deserves a special
place in the pantheon of those who have, through crass stupidity,
demand for the lime-light,
lack of attention to detail when they were being instructed what to
say, and for many other reasons, have compromised the McCanns’
situation beyond recognition.
She
is one of Gerry’s sisters.
These
are extracts from interviews - all in the public domain. [My bolding
in what follows.]
• PM:
Absolutely.
It was hours
before the local police turned up and we're talking two bobbies that
totally downplayed the incident and said that Maddie had maybe just
wandered off, and that... but what 3-year-old would wander off for
hours on their own? It took the CID 5
hours before
they responded to come and even then it was, kind
of, shrug of the shoulders.
Kate
in her book says they were there by 11.10pm, considerably less
than an hour after having been contacted, by whoever actually did.
And then Kate adds
“By
midnight, however, evidently they were concerned enough to inform the
PJ . . . based in the town of Portimao, twenty miles or so from Praia
da Luz, and took over an hour to arrive.
So
the PJ were there by 1am. Less than 3 hours from the confused report
of a missing child.
“.
. . kind of, shrug of the shoulders . . “
This
hardly corresponds to the reality of the National Guard organising a
massive search of the area with local people and holiday makers
overnight, the seizing of CCTV images, monitoring of the airport and
the bridge between Portugal and Spain, a team of PJ giving up rest
days and cancelling family holidays, sleeping in the incident room,
some on sofas, some on the floor, queuing for the ‘facilities’,
all reported in detail in Dr Amaral’s book “The Truth of the Lie”:

PM:
She
was sleeping between her brother and sister
Not
according to the McCanns, who say she was in a bed and the twins were
in cots
•
PM:
Gerry
and Kate are in a clear line of sight of their kids. They regularly
go across to check; maybe if the kids have been disturbed or crying
or anything and if they'd come out the front they would have seen
them.
They
were not
in clear sight of anything, and if the children had ‘come
out of the FRONT’
they would have been entirely invisible. In any event the McCanns’
own account and sketch in the PJ documentation prepared by them,
shows the McCanns sitting with their backs
to the apartment.
•
PM:
"I
mean, you can hear his voice breaking. His wife, she can barely stand
up. She can't sleep, she can't eat.
But
she can laugh and joke and go jogging.
• PM:
Part of it is
that they're, errm... trying to get Kate to admit to having
accidentally killed Madeleine and disposed of her body... hidden and
disposed of her body - which is complete nonsense. Errr... It has no
factual basis whatsoever and, looking at the scenario: assuming that
when they'd gone home, early evening, Kate has murdered her daughter
and then gone out for some convivial company with friends, sat and
had a meal and later rai... you know, raised an alarm - but sat
through all that perfectly normal with people and then done it.
Philomena McCann: They tried to
get Kate to, errr... confess to having accidentally killed,
errr... Madeleine by offering her a deal through her lawyer,
which was: 'If you say that you killed Madeleine by accident;
and then hid her; and then disposed of the body, errr... then we
can guarantee you a two-year jail sentence or even less. You may get
off because people feel sorry for you; it was an accident.’
This
is impossible under Portuguese Law. It is an invention by Kate,
though Philomena’s use of the word ‘murder’,
and then changing this to ‘killed
by accident’
may be revealing.
In
fact, as the world knows, the PJ were suggesting no such thing.
•
PM:
:
“. . . As far as I know they've changed their status and they are
suspects. -
Q:
”Does
this mean that they are now formal suspects?
PM:
:
"Yes that's true
The
McCanns and their spokesman subsequently spent a huge amount of
effort and money persuading the public and Leveson LJ that “arguido”
did NOT
mean suspect - even though it clearly does.
•
PM:
But
he's not the main suspect, for some unknown reason there's something
about a sniffer dog sniffing Kate. Suddenly a dog can talk and says
she smelled a death. How can that be when a British sniffer dog came
out months after Madeleine's case. They're doctors, if there's a
smell of death on them could that possibly be a patient?”
No
it couldn’t. Doctors do not go on holiday wearing unwashed work
clothes soiled by bodily fluids from cadavers they have examined a
fortnight earlier, and then not change, or wash the clothes, for
THREE MONTHS. Very few people would do this.
• PM:
Errr... yes,
they absolutely will cooperate with the police. They are more than
prepared to undergo more questioning.
We
now know that Kate, on her own admission, refused to answer 48
questions put by the police, and that both refused to co-operate
further, to the point of concealing the existence of the Pool photo,
and fleeing the country when the enquiry started to heat up.
• PM:
Kate
and Gerry are loving parents; they tried so hard to have children.
They had to undergo IVF; Kate had difficult
pregnancies.
Kate
reports that her first pregnancy was “Totally
without complication.
No sickness, no back pain, no bleeding, no swelling. I felt great.”
• PM:
Yes, I do
think she's still alive. We have had no evidence contrary to that and
as for cadaver dogs sniffing death on Kate; I mean, what is she?
Lassie? Is she gonna speak to them and ask what they're smelling?
Kate's a doctor - what does this mean? You know, they've been given a
team that send her to go and sniff Kate's clothes and the dogs are
told what to do. If they start barking, how are we supposed to
interpret that? Except, perhaps, they're ‘barking’.
Yet
another person who cares nothing for the reliability of cadaver and
blood dogs.
(One
wonders what her, and their collective, attitude is towards Cancer
detection dogs, or drugs and explosive detection dogs, widely and
increasingly used across the world.)

These
are only some from the almost endless store of Philomena gibbering
nonsense.
To
sum up, the net effect of almost everything said by Philomena has
been either wrong, distorted, or has drawn attention to facts - which
are ALL against the ‘Official Story’.
Small
wonder then that after a fairly short interval she was shut down, and
has gone back into obscurity . . . except that her influence on the
children of Ullapool is undiminished.
Ten
years have now passed since Madeleine met her death.,
The
same ten years have now passed between this

very sorry excuse for a teacher, I wonder how the Ullapool faculty

(13 Thumbs up “likes”.)
Let
us never forget the immortal words of Groucho Marx - and others
“The
opera ain’t over till the fat lady sings,”
When
we add the evidence suggesting her link to the forgery and
transporting of the Pool Photo, and the almost undoubted fact of her
heavy involvement in the preparation of the Dossier
of Death
which led to the McCann’s orchestration of the hounding to her
suicide of the late Brenda Leyland, we cannot help thinking that the
epithet
“morally corrupt individual”
might be perceptive.
