Why is Everyone Acting as Detective and losing Sight of the Most Important Aspect of This Case?

Go debate with like minded pro's on PFA or JATYK, your wasting your time here.

I have posed a couple of things to think about and nobody has as yet come forward and given a coherent and honest account as to why the McCanns would campaign for a full and transparent investigation of the this case, if, as some would like to believe, they were involved in her disappearance?

That doesn't make any sense at all.

So, lets debate and lets here a good reason.......................

I've answered this point to you in another thread, which you have chosen to ignore:

The Big Lie is a propoganda technique. The expression was coined by Hitler, in Mein Kampf where he describes a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

Joseph Goebbels later expanded on this concept by describing (I'm paraphrasing here) "[it] does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous"

The technique is commonly and succinctly boiled down to “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

I feel pretty certain that a few of you still posting here are maintaining a facade that you still believe the McCanns covered up their child's death but that you know deep down, in your heart of hearts, that they did not. I am pretty sure of this, because some of you seem quite intelligent and really, it's the only intelligent conclusion that can be drawn!

As someone else said on here the other day, we have a retired Chief of Police as a member who does not believe the McCanns version of events. What are your qualifications? Why do you keep trying to ram the McCanns innocence down our throats when they have admitted they left their 3 tots alone so are guilty of neglect at least? People are in jail for doing the same, yet here we have two doctors who are free to roam the world peddling lies and getting paid for it.

Just be patient and see what the Met police uncover. If they are innocent then I feel sure many people will apologise to them and take down blogs and forums but I don't see why people should believe in their innocence just because you tell us to.

Hmmmm .... let me see

OJ Simpson?

And before you jump in and claim that the Criminal Courts found him innocent - let me just remind you that the Civil courts did no such thing.

Myra Hindley had a good go at continually trying to convince the world that she wasn't involved in the Moors Murders as well (and she'd have got away with it if Brady hadn't been stupid enough to tape the Lesley Anne Downey murder) ... she continually contacted crime experts, journalists etc and wrote an autobiography (never published but it exists).

Either you are very young, very poorly read or wilfully blind .. I'm not sure which and to be honest I don't much care, but if you are going to debate with me a little critical thinking and research might be in order
