These are eye openers! It is scary to think this much cover up surrounding one missing little girl was "necessary"? No wonder the public question, and rightly so in the name of Madeleine McCann, an innocent child who deserves so much more.

Mark Williams-Thomas owns his own Child Protection and Risk Management Consultancy - WT Associates Ltd. Prior to setting up WT Associates in 2005, Mark was a police Detective specialising in major crime. He worked on or was in charge of some of the largest paedophile and murder investigations in the country, as well as being was one of only 10 specialist Family Liaison officers during his time in the police. Mark is also completing a Masters in Criminology at the University of Central England. It is understood that he attended the meeting between the FFS and the Portuguese forensic team at Leicester police station on 29th November.
Mark Williams-Thomas who claims to have left the police service in order to expose (excuse the inference) Jimi Saville.
Mark Williams-Thomas who has repeatedly spoken out in support of the McCanns. After undertaking a personal 'review' of all the evidence from the PJ investigation, even up to more recent times, concluded that Madeleine was the victim of a chance abduction, having wandered from apartment 5a looking for her parents. Also repeatedly publicly attacked the PJ with allegations of incompetence, unprofessionalism and lack of commitment.
According to a report published by the Liverpool Echo in May 2009..
Mr Mark Williams-Thomas said "Is it unreasonable to presume that Madeleine woke up and then went in search of her parents at a restaurant within a holiday complex that she had grown familiar with over the course of her holiday? Neatly tucking up her toys – as her parents had done to her – she slipped out of the apartment through an insecure patio door."
Mr Williams-Thomas criticised several aspects of the Portuguese investigation, including botched searches and a complete failure to secure the crime scene.
He said the reliance on evidence of dogs trained to detect dead bodies was "significant and damaging", leading police to mistakenly focus on the McCanns.
Mr Williams-Thomas said the couple were made suspects, or arguidos, as a result of ambiguous evidence from specially-trained British dogs and their handlers.
Mr Williams-Thomas said: "It is now clear that, after the Portuguese police failed to establish or identify any possible suspects during their initial investigation, and when they came under increasing pressure to resolve the case, they turned their attention on to Madeleine’s parents.
"In particular, they over-relied on the evidence of the dog team – such as it was, and it was this that prompted them to make Gerry and Kate McCann arguidos.
"In short, they concentrated on their theory that Madeleine had been accidentally killed and that her parents had later hidden her body.
"Although how they would have been able to have done this does not seem to have been considered by the Policia Judiciara."
Mark Williams-Thomas who had to publicly admit (for whatever reason) that the 'make-up' photograph of Madeleine McCann was ill-advised. He who, through his line of work, almost certainly had connections with Jim Gamble ex of the CEOP.
Why would anyone, with such an extensive impressive CV, speak out in support of the prime suspects in a very serious crime?

Sir Alec Jeffreys
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
British geneticist who developed techniques for DNA fingerprinting and DNA profiling, now used worldwide in forensic science to assist police detective work and to resolve paternity and immigration disputes. He is a professor of genetics at the University of Leicester, the very same location that houses Dr Gerald McCann.
The BBC reported in September 2007, that Sir Alec Jeffreys had offered to act as an expert witness in the Madeleine McCann case. I quote..
In an exclusive interview with the BBC's Newsnight programme, Sir Alec said there could be a potential problem in assigning a profile to Madeleine given that all other members of her family would have been in the car.
"DNA testing seeks to establish whether DNA sample A from a crime scene, came or did not come from individual B," he said.
"So if you get a match there's very strong evidence that it did come from B.
"It is then up to investigators, the courts and all the rest of it to work out whether that connection is relevant or not.
"DNA doesn't have the words innocence or guilt in it - that is a legal concept. What it seeks to establish is connections and identifications."
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Technically correct yes but is this particular persons interference morally correct? If what has been repeatedly stated and here confirmed by Sir Alec Jeffreys then what is the point of DNA profiling. If the forensic analysis in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is to be so readily dismissed as inconsequential, then surely the same principle would apply to every criminal case?

You beat me to it with Mark Williams-Thomas, Verdi, so will just add my contribution on the end of yours as there's a few more points worthy of note.
Mark Williams-Thomas
Mark Williams-Thomas is a failed police officer who has carved out a new career for himself as a ‘criminologist’ and TV documentary-maker. He is a SKY News regular, a sort of ‘crime rent-a-quote’ who pontificates on the latest crimes. Oddly, not long after the death of Jimmy Saville, it was Williams-Thomas who was chosen to present the first documentary which began to expose his career of lasciviousness, rape and necrophilia.
He certainly came to the rescue of the McCanns. Asked about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, he immediately mentioned the ‘abduction’ of 8-year-old Joana Cipriano, the girl we mentioned above when we examined the rogue, Marcos Aragao Correia. Wikipedia informs us: “A child protection specialist, Mark Williams-Thomas, who believes that Joana's and Madeleine's disappearances are related, said that the disappearance of two children unknown to each other, within a period of four years in a seven-mile radius, would be a huge coincidence, especially considering that Portugal is a small country with few abductions”.
Those listening to Mark Williams-Thomas as he explained this on TV would assume that Mark Williams-Thomas knew what he was talking about. He clearly did not. We saw in an earlier ‘Rogue of the Day’ that Joana Cipriano was brutally murdered by her mother and uncle (as the same Wikipedia article acknowledges). So, was he blissfully ignorant of the truth? – in which case he had no business going on TV to talk about the case. He knew about Joana Cipriano. Had he read up on the case? Or was he deliberately, knowingly misleading the viewers. If the latter, he is most certainly a rogue.
As a useful ’rent-a-quote’, he was sent to Praia da Luz as soon as Madeleine was reported missing. He duly gave interviews criticising the Portuguese police. When, 1000 days later, Sir Richard Branson held his glitzy ‘bash; at his swanky ‘Rooftop Restaurant’ on South Kensington, up popped Williams-Thomas once again to tell us it was all the police’s fault that Madeleine hadn’t been found yet.
Of course, as a criminologist, Mark Williams-Thomas would know that in these cases of missing young children, you always look at the family first. He would also know that if a police dog he was using found 17 spots where cadaver scent and blood was detected, he would be chasing the family like a shot. But no, he is paid to ‘tow the party line’, and is no more than a useless paid puppet where three-year-old Madeleine McCann is concerned.

Bog standard Policing.
So what have Operation Grange been up to?
If Scotland Yard have been prevented from walking down that particular elementary avenue it's because some very big guns are directing matters.
The Home Secretary and Scotland Yard are candidates for rogue of the last 5 years.

Has any other parent of a missing child (missing for less than a month) had the privilege of a ceremonious visit to the Vatican and an audience with a Pope?
He is most certainly an 'A list' rogue, and he gave great succour and encouragement to the McCanns, lending his superstardom to their cause back in May 2007, almost elevating it to a divine cause. Clarence Mitchell claimed personal credit for arranging this trip with R.C. Archbishop Cormac Murphy O'Connor (who I think may have been Irish?).
This also gives me the opportunity here to give a link to a brilliant 80-minute documentary released on 21 December last year onto YouTube - unfortunately minus the segments that the Vatican ordered Google to ut out before they would allow it back on YouTube. Here is the link:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I am recommending it because this is a film of real, professional quality. It features the main men who brought out the outrageous systematic cover-up of child sexual abise by hundreds of thousands of homosexual priests - much of it covered up personally by Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI both when he wasa Cardinal in Germany and as Pope. It also gives a couple of graphic, authentic accounts of how, in a couple of instances, these homosexuals and paedophiles set about the initial corruption of their victims - and then apply brutal threats to keep their victims silent. If any member or guest here has been abused, watching these two individuals (one female, one male) recount their personal histories will no doubt be painful and bring back awful memories, with tears of sympathy and anger.
I would like to make a couple of points. Near the beginning of the film, the narrator deals with the issue of why nearly all this wicked, industrial-scale abuse of children takes place in the Roman Catholic Church and not in Protestant churches. The reason is simple; it's because the Roman Catholic system is wholly contrary to the Biblical Christianity rediscovered in the Reformation. It is a deeply anti-Christian, anti-Biblical system, and I join with those who wrote the Preface to the Authorised Version, when they presented it to King James I in 1611. They referred to the Popes (plural) as 'The Antichrist' and 'The Man of Sin'.
There's one small issue I have with the film. It was made after Pope Francis was elected Pope, and they seem to think he might bring a brighter future to the utterly discredited institution of the Papacy.
I very much doubt it
I hope you're feeling better and on the road to recovery as well, :flower:

Ernie Allen - there is a lot of discussion on this particular rogue on CMOMM so I wont repeat it here, but here are some links.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Mr. Ernie Allen is the President and CEO of both the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Inc. (NCMEC USA) and the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children Inc. (ICMEC), two American companies based in Virginia that have received more than half a billion dollars in non-competitive federal funding
since 1984.
Mr. Allen has been President and CEO of these two companies since their inception.
His privately-held companies have released almost no records, financial or otherwise, that would permit public oversight of their activities. The self-styled National Center was first awarded $3.3 million dollars by the Department of Justice in 1984. Despite more than 25 years of public funding, they have never been held to account for their expenditures, much less for their corporate policies and initiatives.
What little is known indicates that their top executives are richly rewarded. The St. Petersburg Times of Florida recently ran a critical article originally titled[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. The article's title was changed to[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]before its publication in the newspaper's print edition. The exposé correctly notes that Mr. Allen himself was compensated in 2008 to the tune of $1.3 MILLION.
$1,344,567.00
That's just in money that we know about. Adding in all the other typical executive "perks" from such things as travel expenses, cronyism and related kickbacks, the value of Mr. Allen's compensation must surely surpass TWO MILLION dollars.
Mr. Allen is running two cash cows, one of which even dares to masquerade as an "international" entity without any recognition of its claimed status from the United Nations or any other multinational body.
In countries around the world, the ICMEC presents itself as a multinational entity. Foreign officials and citizens alike are regularly duped into thinking that its publications reflect a collaborative, deliberative process, as would the publications of a truly international agency like the World Health Organisation. Yet, the notion that the ICMEC is international in anything but the scope of its target is entirely divorced from reality.
The ICMEC is nothing more than a tool to broadcast American political and social interests abroad. Its primary but unstated goal -- to remove children from their established residences in other countries so that they might be raised in the United States, where all contact with their foreign relations would be impossible --derives from the ethnocentric and conceited notion that the United States alone knows what is best for the children of its citizens.
Meantime, the Mr. Allen's other company, NCMEC USA, issues entire barrages of overinflated, misleading or outright false statistics, not just about [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], but also about the prevalence of child pornography on the Internet, the true extent of "stranger danger", the[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], and even the number of children who are[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Preparations are currently being made to report live from the courthouse steps. .

Max Mosley
Max Rufus Mosley (born 13 April 1940) is the youngest son of British Fascist leader Oswald Mosley. He (Max) gained fame as the former president of FIA, a non-profit association that represents the interests of motoring organisations and car users worldwide. The FIA is also the governing body for Formula One and other international motorsports.
Together with Bernie Ecclestone, he represented Formula One at the FIA and in its dealings with race organisers. In 1978, Mosley became the official legal adviser to Formula One. In this role he and Marco Piccinini negotiated the first version of the Concorde Agreement, which settled a long-standing dispute between Formula One OCA and the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), a commission of the FIA and the then governing body of Formula One. Mosley was elected president of FISA in 1991 and became president of the FIA, FISA's parent body, in 1993.
But in more recent times, his life has been dominated by a true story in the now-defunct News of the World in 2008. It turned out he had been regularly practising S & M - sado-masochism – with dominatrices and other S & M devotees, ever since his early twenties. Most would argue that whatever grown men and women do in their private lives is entirely their affair. But like most other celebrities who adore the press when they are praising them, highlighting their achievements and giving them ‘puffs’ etc, Mosely reacted badly, especially to the lurid claim that he enjoyed the dominatrices dressing up as Nazis, wearing swastika armbands, This was too much for Mosley. He issued a volley of abuse against the NOTW and successfully sued them for £60,000 (just because they got the ‘Nazi’ bit wrong).
In March 2009 he appeared before the House of Commons Committee on Press Standards to complain about the press, strangely enough on the very same day that Gerry McCann also gave evidence to the same committee, flanked by Clarence Mitchell and Carter-Ruck Partner, Adam Tudor.

Max Mosley joined forces with Gerry & Kate McCann to found ‘Hacked Off’, a campaign of the ‘great and the good’ who said they had been unfairly ‘hounded’ by the press.

Assorted rogues who had been ‘caught with their trousers down’ and exposed on the press joined in this evil campaign to restrict press freedom, among them Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan.
On 18 July 2012, as he gave evidence to the Leveson Enquiry, he issued this statement:
“The British press has repeatedly gone beyond the bounds of civilised behavior”, Max Mosley has said. The former head of the FIA, who gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry for the second time today, was the subject of a sting by the News of the World and won a privacy case against the newspaper in 2008.
In a written statement, Mosley criticised sections of the industry for breaking the law and adopting a ‘bullying and dishonest approach’ to legal challenges. He also said justice for defamation and privacy breaches was denied to most of the population because of legal costs.
Mosley, who in his previous evidence discussed his privacy case, this time put forward a proposal for a press tribunal for handling disputes and a ‘Press Commission’ to replace the current Press Complaints Commission. He told the inquiry the press should be allowed to make rules for regulation with outside help.
Hmmm, well we now know what Mosley’s ‘outside help’ is all about. After Leveson, the newspaper industry recognised that the old Press Complaints Commission (PCC) needed reform and so set up the beefed-up Independent Press Standards Commission (IPSO). By all accounts IPSO is working more effectively than the old PCC.
Some CMOMM members may recall member here Tony Bennett’s success last year in winning a ruling after the Daily Express, reporting on Gonçalo Amaral’s successful appeal in the Portuguese Court of Appeal, accused him of having ‘lied’ in his book. ‘The Truth of the Lie’. Tony successfully proved that he had not lied and the Express was ordered to make a correction. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
But this is not enough for Max Mosley, Gerry McCann, Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan and their ilk. The government has approved a body called IMPRESS to run press complaints. At present several hundred newspapers have joined IPSO but only a handful have joined IMPRESS. The government now wants to implement Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013, which will mean that any newspaper not registered with IMPRESS will have to pay the legal costs of all complainants, win or lose.
And guess who funds IMPRESS. Why, yes, Max Mosley!
It will be open season for complainants of all hues to bleed the press dry by making a series of unsuccessful and frivolous complaints. Newspapers will be frightened to tackle controversial stories and so press freedom will end. In a survey last week, only 4% of the public supported IMPRESS and the other 96% thought that things should stay as they are. These Daily Mail articles give full details of Mosley’s sordid, illiberal campaign. Just because his sado-masochism hobby was exposed:

If Mosley succeeds in neutering our glorious free press which has exposed so much wrongdoing in the last three centuries, he will be one of the biggest British rogues in history, never mind the last 10 years.

Adam Tudor
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Adam Tudor joined Carter-Ruck in 2001 and became a Partner in 2003.
He specialises in media litigation and reputation management, and is also spearheading the firm’s commercial litigation practice. His clients range from multinational corporations and leading business people, to a number of national governments and heads of state, as well as other high-profile politicians and celebrities.
Post-publication, Adam has extensive experience of securing apologies and damages for clients as well as having material removed from or amended on the internet. Adam has extensive trial experience, having secured some of the most notable awards of the past 15 years. In libel circles, Adam is perhaps best known for representing Kate and Gerry McCann, for whom he has acted since 2008. This work has included securing unprecedented front page apologies from the Daily Express, Daily Star and their sister Sunday titles as well as £550,000 in libel damages. Adam also obtained apologies and £375,000 in damages from the Express group for the seven friends who were dining with the McCanns on the night Madeleine was abducted. All the damages in these and related cases have been applied to the search for Madeleine. Adam also advised Mr and Mrs McCann in relation to their evidence before the Leveson Inquiry.

If anyone can elaborate on this representative of the legal profession that aims to profit by stifling the truth, please help by any useful addition. My particular interest is in the name - always Adam Tudor where matters of McCann are at the fore. With such an outstanding reputation as boasted by the firm Carter Ruck, representing the most wealthy in the land, it's an act of extraordinary proportions that two insignificant small time medics from middle England, have managed to secure their expertise in libel law. According to Kate McCann - always working in the background pro bono.

Small time medics don't usually have access to large amounts of donated cash, revenue from stories sold to the media, and income from a highly published book.

This is of course true, however I don't think that level of income could afford even six months of Carter Ruck time, let alone +nine years. I don't believe for a second that they work pro bono - for Bono maybe but definitely not pro bono.Cmaryholmes wrote:Small time medics don't usually have access to large amounts of donated cash, revenue from stories sold to the media, and income from a highly published book.
My guess is their services were procured by someone other than the parents McCann, a wealthy benefactor for example - a regular so to speak.

Ok - I'll start this one off with this little reminder
THE SAYINGS OF CLARENCE MITCHELL: A MASTER MEDIA MANIPULATOR
This leaflet was first printed in February 2009 and revised in May 2009. It has now been updated a second time.
Clarence Mitchell now works for the PR company, Freud Communications, whose boss is Matthew Freud - the husband of Elisabeth Murdoch, who is the daughter of Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch is the world’s most powerful media magnate, with major terrestrial TV, satellite and media interests in dozens of countries. So who is Clarence Mitchell and why is he employed by the world’s biggest controller of news? Find out some of the answer below.
A COUPLE OF QUOTES
Carlos Anjos, head of the Portuguese police professional association, who had dealings with Clarence Mitchell, said of him: “He lies with as many teeth as he has in his mouth”.
Clarence Mitchell in his own words, on 29 September 2007 to Espresso: “I was the head of the government's Media Monitoring Unit. Forty people work there and their function is to control what comes out in the media."
CLARENCE MITCHELL’S CAREER
Clarence Mitchell’s media career began in the late 1980s as a BBC regional reporter in Leeds. He moved to London where he covered stories about the Royals. A 2007 article on the BBC website by Laurie Margolis about him says:
“Clarence was also a presenter on various BBC news programmes, looking to make that his main career. The presenting world is a precarious and capricious one, however, and he never quite made it. Once, I was working throughout the night. Clarence was presenting hourly bulletins on BBC News 24. He did the 1am, and 2am, but at 3am a slightly dishevelled looking producer appeared doing the news. It turned out Clarence closed his eyes, sleeping through the 3am bulletin. Clarence left the BBC suddenly, becoming the Labour government’s Director of its Media Monitoring Unit at the Central Office of Information. There, his job was to ‘correct’ bad media stories about the government and to put out the government line”. A ‘spinner’, as some would say, or ‘a professional liar’ as others describe it. In May 2007 he was suddenly seconded to the Foreign Office to work as the McCanns’ chief PR man, assisting another McCann spokeswoman, Justine McGuiness. In September 2007, in an unusual move, he resigned from the civil service to become the McCanns’ full-time spokesman, on £75,000 a year. He remains in that role, though he has been employed for the last few months by another major PR agency, Freud Communications”.
Clarence Mitchell remains employed by Freud Communications, where he can be contacted. He also works part-time for the McCanns as their chief public relations officer at a salary reputed to be around £30,000 a year. No-one is quite sure who really finds that salary. Maybe the McCanns? Maybe the McCanns’ ‘Find Madeleine’ fund-raising trust? Maybe the McCanns’ benefactor, Brian Kennedy? Maybe the government? It is one of life’s little secrets.
‘AN ANGEL OF DEATH’
Margolis also noted Clarence Mitchell’s strange association with controversial murder cases: “He was closely involved with the Fred and Rosemary West case, where a murderous couple had killed young girls and buried the bodies under their patio in Gloucester. He was one of the first reporters to arrive at Gowan Avenue, Fulham in south west London, when the immensely popular BBC TV presenter Jill Dando was shot dead in a murder many feel has never been satisfactorily explained”. Mitchell also covered in depth the arrest and conviction of mass-murderer Dennis Nilson. When Paula Yates’ partner Michael Hutchance died in mysterious circumstances in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Sydney, Australia, in 1999, Clarence Mitchell was despatched to cover the death; more recently, in a story he worked on right up to the day he left the BBC, Clarence led coverage of the murder of the Surrey schoolgirl Millie Dowler in 2002. The case has never been solved.
“Mitchell has also written books on the Fred & Rosemary West and Jill Dando cases. He also reported extensively on the murder by Ian Huntley of Soham girls Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells. On 9 January this year, the Independent ran a brief article titled: ‘Remember Clarence Mitchell?’ It said: “Clarence Mitchell, formerly of the BBC and now spokesman for Madeleine McCann’s parents, has developed a nice little niche as a spin doctor of misery. First he took on Fiona MacKeown, mother of teenager Scarlet Kelling, who was murdered in Goa. Then he started representing the parents of murdered London teenager Jimmy Mizen. And today we’ve discovered that Mr Mitchell is also speaking for the wife of Jeremy Hoyland, the British jet skier who went missing off the coast of Bali last October. Mr Mitchell is not charging for his services. But his presence can hardly be reassuring - the PR equivalent of an angel of death”.
CLARENCE MITCHELL & THE MADELEINE McCANN CASE
Clarence Mitchell has achieved much in the Madeleine McCann case. He played (according to himself) a key role in arranging for the McCanns to meet the Pope on 28 May 2007, just 25 days after Madeleine McCann was reported missing. A man with connections at the highest level, Clarence Mitchell openly boasted in a TV interview that it was he who arranged, via Roman Catholic Archbishop Cormac Murphy O’Connor, for the McCanns to visit the Pope - in what was a highly publicised visit. The Pope put pages of material about the McCanns and Madeleine on his website. But two days before the McCanns were made arguidos - ‘provisional suspects’ - in September 2007, the Pope wiped all references to Madeleine from his website. Margolis wrote in 2007: “I would imagine Clarence is content in his new role as the family's voice. He's centre stage on a huge story, intimately involved as ever, and on television and in the papers all the time. It was extraordinary how, last week, his intervention seemed to eliminate within hours any misgiving about the McCanns in the British media”.
Who has been paying Clarence Mitchell’s salary whilst he has been working for the McCanns?
This remains a mystery. We know that up to September 2007, the British government paid his salary. He left the government that month. Since then, the McCanns and Mitchell have said on the record that the ‘Helping to Find Madeleine Fund’ has not paid any part of his salary. They say that he was paid by ‘an anonymous backer’. But Clarence Mitchell won’t say who that backer is, nor why that backer is giving him so much support. In article in the Independent on Sunday, 1 March 2009, Mitchell contradicted previous claims that his salary was being paid by an anonymous backer. He now says he gets a retainer of £28,000 a year from the ‘Helping to Find Madeleine Fund’, donations to which were given to ‘help find Madeleine’, not to pay the salaries of PR professionals
.
Clarence Mitchell and the McCanns: 21 Issues of Concern
Here we examine 21 of the many issues that have caused people concern about Mitchell’s role in the Madeleine McCann case. At the end of our leaflet we explain how to obtain more information on the Madeleine McCann case, including our 60-page booklet: ‘What Really Happened to Madeleine McCann? - 60 Reasons which suggest she was not abducted’.
1. Allegedly being involved in tipping off the McCanns that the Portuguese police had been, or were going to, track their e-mails and ’phone calls
There were sell-sourced reports that the McCanns were tipped off that the Portuguese police were monitoring their e-mails and ’phone calls. There was naturally concern over how this information leaked to them. A former Portuguese police officer has admitted working for the Spanish private detective agency, Metodo 3. He in turn had an inside contact in the Portuguese police who supplied Metodo 3 with information about the investigation. Clarence Mitchell was asked in an interview by Simon Israel on Channel 4 how the McCanns were tipped off. He refused to answer.
2. Being forced to deny the McCanns’ initial claim of a break-in
On the evening that Madeleine was reported missing, the McCanns claimed in ’phone calls to their relatives that an abductor had broken into the children’s room by ‘jemmying open the shutters’. This claim was reported extensively in the media. But the managers of the Mark Warners resort where the McCanns were staying, and the police, soon discovered that the shutters had not been tampered with. This forced the McCanns to dramatically change their story - one of many changes of story - to say: ‘The abductor must have walked in through an unlocked patio door”. Asked about this discrepancy, Mitchell was forced to concede on the record: “There was no evidence of a break-in. I'm not going into the detail, but I can say that Kate and Gerry are firmly of the view that somebody got into the apartment and took Madeleine out the window as their means of escape. To do that they did not necessarily have to tamper with anything. They got out of the window fairly easily”. It is however most unlikley that an abductor could have ‘got out of the window easily,’ leaving no forensic trace. The window in question was just over 2ft square and was 3ft above the ground. It was dark at the time the McCanns say Madeleine disappeared. For an abductor to have taken Madeleine through such a window, in the dark, without being seen or heard by anoyne (except the McCanns’ friend Jane Tanner), and without leaving any forensic trace, is highly unlikely.
3. Smearing Robert Murat
A curious feature of the Madeleine case was the targeting of Robert Murat, a dual Portuguese-British citizen, as a suspect. A journalist who had previously worked closely with Clarence Mitchell, Lori Campbell, suspected Murat of involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance and reported him to the Police. It is very likely that this followed conversations between Mitchell and her. Three of the McCanns’ close friends, the so-called ‘Tapas 7’, also reported seeing Robert Murat close to the McCanns’ apartment the evening Madeleine went missing, a claim he denied. The McCann camp made a concerted attempt, for whatever reason, to smear Murat. Clarence Mitchell himself played a key role in this: He told one newspaper:
“An outcome similar to Holly and Jessica [Soham children murdered by Ian Huntley] is possible. I don't want to, and I can't, talk about Robert Murat, but some journalists who worked with me in Soham, and that were now in Portugal, saw resemblances between that case and Robert Murat. And I won't say more”. He was very lucky that Murat did not sue him for libel, since in 2008 Robert Murat collected a reported £600,000 in libel damages from news media and journalists whom he claimed had smeared and libelled him.
4. Being forced to retract his claim that ‘Madeleine is probably dead’
During early 2008, Clarence Mitchell was forced to concede that ‘Madeleine is probably dead’. This caused grave embarrassment for the McCanns, who were determined publicly to maintain that Madeleine was still alive. His statement could also have had serious implications for the Helping to Find Madeleine Fund, which could only continue to operate and keep asking for donations on the premise that Madeleine was still alive. Dr Gerald McCann was forced to publicly rebuke his PR chief by insisting on his blog two days later that they remained hopeful that Madeleine was still alive.
5. Failing to explain that the ‘Helping to Find Madeleine Fund’ was not a charity
Interviewed by James Whale, Mitchell repeatedly refused to correct Whale when he referred to the McCanns’ fund as a ‘charity’. In fact, the Helping to Find Madeleine Fund is registered as a ‘private trust’; its aims are not charitable and include making payments to the McCanns. It only has to make annual returns to Companies House. Beyond that, the Trust is not accountable to anyone.
6. Asking people to send money in envelopes to ‘Gerry and Kate, Rothley’
Asked on the same James Whale show how people could contribute to the fund, Mitchell said: “Just put money into an envelope and send to Kate and Gerry McCann, Rothley, it’ll get there”. That was unprofessional - monies should have been directed to the registered office for the Fund, namely London Solicitors Bates, Wells & Braithwaite. For example, monies sent in the post could be stolen en route or would not be properly accounted for.
7. Claiming that the Fund was ‘independently controlled’
Pressed about control of the ‘Helping to Find Madeleine Fund’, Clarence Mitchell claimed that the Fund was ‘independently controlled’. This is untrue. The Trust’s Directors consist mainly of members of the McCann family and their friends or acquaintances.
8. Retreating on whether or not the McCanns would take a lie detector test
The McCanns were anxious to convince the world that they were telling the truth about how Madeleine had suddenly gone missing. To bolster their claim, Clarence Mitchell announced: “Kate and Gerry McCann would have no issue with taking a lie detector test”. However, two months later, after a number of lie detector experts came forward to offer their services, he announced: "Of course they are not going to take any lie detector test”.
9. Making a film for TV about the McCanns’ distress ‘one year on’ whilst at the same time claiming the McCanns were not doing so
Clarence Mitchell told the media: “The McCanns don't want to do anything about 'woe is us a year on'. That is what the tabloids would like us to do, but we are not following their agenda, we are following our own agenda” (one of many references to ‘our agenda’). Weeks later, there was a two-hour long pre-recorded TV interview: ‘Madeleine McCann - One Year On’, clearly prepared long before his public statement, and certainly with his personal knowledge. And the programme was very much: “Woe is us a year on”.
10. Issuing a ‘Crimewatch’-style video clip with a description of an abductor
It has always been the McCanns who have given out descriptions of a possible abductor. The Portuguese police from early on doubted the truthfulness of claims by Jane Tanner, one of the McCanns’ ‘Tapas 7’ friends, that she had seen an abductor. In early 2008, Clarence Mitchell announced that the McCann team were looking for a moustachioed man seen in Praia da Luz around the time Madeleine went missing. He did this in a widely-shown video clip in which he acted like a Crimewatch presenter. At a meeting at the London School of Economics on 30 January 2008, this performance, plus his commanding stance and choice of words, prompted one member of the LSE audience to ask: “Are you the police?” There was much laughter.
11. Claiming that “…whatever the Portuguese police might find in their investigation, the McCanns will have an innocent explanation for it”
To this bizarre statement, Mitchell added the equally strange comment: “There are wholly innocent explanations for any material that the police may or may not have found”, prompting many to ask: “How could the McCanns and Clarence Mitchell know in advance what the police might find and know that there would be ‘an innocent explanation’ for everything?
12. Claiming it didn’t matter if Dr Kate McCann changed her clothes on 3 May
One of the key issues in the Madeleine McCann case is whether the McCanns and their ‘Tapas 7’ friends have been telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the events of 3 May 2007, the day Madeleine was reported missing. In late 2008, a French journalist, Duarte Levy, claimed to have seen photos taken that evening conclusively proving that Dr Kate McCann had left the table during the evening and changed her clothes. That would blow a hole in her claim that she was at the Tapas bar the whole evening. She would have had to explain why she changed her clothes. Mitchell’s official response to these claims was: “So what if she did leave the table and change her clothes?” He refused to elaborate.
13. Saying that ‘none of the Tapas group’ were wearing watches the night Madeleine went missing - and then being forced to retract that statement
Clarence Mitchell had come under pressure from journalists to explain why there were so many significant contradictions between the McCanns’ and the Tapas 7’s versions of events on 3 May 2007, when Madeleine ‘disappeared’. There were also many discrepancies in their timelines. Mitchell tried to explain, responding: “None of them were wearing watches or had mobile phones on them that night”.
Those journalists then confronted him with the sheer unlikelihood that all nine had neither watch nor mobile ’phone, pointed out that the McCanns and others had used their mobile ’phones that night, and produced pictures of the McCanns and their Tapas 7 friends taken in Praia da Luz that week which showed that they were always wearing watches.
Clarence Mitchell was forced into an embarrassing retreat, conceding: “Some of them were wearing watches and had mobile ’phones, some of them weren’t”. It is also now known from the McCanns’ statements to the police, which have been publicly released, that the McCanns both had mobile ’phones with them that evening. As their official spokesman, Mitchell must surely have been briefed on this before he made his statement.
14. Falsely claiming that the McCanns had been ‘utterly honest and utterly open’
On 11 April 2008, Clarence Mitchell made this bold claim: “Kate and Gerry have been utterly honest and utterly open with the police and all of their statements from the moment that Madeleine was taken”. He later said, referring to himself and the McCanns: ‘We have nothing to hide’. When addressing a largely student audience during what were called ‘The Coventry Conversations’, Mitchell said: “We are always willing to co-operate with the Portuguese police”. These were bold claims to make given that…
· Dr Kate McCann was asked 48 questions by the Portuguese police when interviewed on 7 September 2007 and refused to answer any of them.
· The McCanns had refused point blank to take part in a reconstruction of the events of 3 May 2007, the night Madeleine McCann was reported missing.
· The McCanns’ statements contained numerous changes of story, contradictions with the accounts of others, evasions and apparent obfuscations.
15. Claiming it would be ‘hugely entertaining’ to devise a cast list for a proposed film about Madeleine going missing
On 7 January 2008 it was widely reported in the media that the McCanns and their advisers were in talks with media and film moguls IMG, who made the film ‘Touching the Void’, about a possible film about Madeleine’s disappearance. Clarence Mitchell was asked whether Gerry and Kate would play themselves in any film or if their roles would be played by celebrity actors. He said: “It may be hugely entertaining and a bit of fun to speculate on a cast list, but we are a million miles away from that sort of thing”. On another occasion, he said of Madeleine: “If she is dead, she is dead”. These and other comments made some wonder how much ‘feel’ or concern for Madeleine’s welfare and fate Mitchell really had.
16. Claiming it was a British cultural custom for parents to put children to bed early so they could enjoy the rest of the evening
Interviewed by Irish TV station RTE, Clarence Mitchell tried to explain why the McCanns left three young children under four on their own, several nights in a row, whilst on holiday, and dining out for the evening. He told his TV audience: “There is a cultural difference between Britain and Portugal. It is a British approach to get your children washed, bathed and in bed early in the evening, if you can, so you can have something of the evening to yourself. That’s the British way of doing things. It doesn't mean it's wrong. It doesn't mean it's right”. Many British parents objected strongly to Mitchell’s description of them..
17. Trying to deny that the McCanns had left the children alone every night
In an interview with Jon Gaunt of TalkSport, Clarence Mitchell was trying to explain why the McCanns had left their children alone ‘that night’ (i.e. the night of 3 May when Madeleine was reported missing). He was quickly corrected by Gaunt who reminded him: ‘But they left them alone every night’. Mitchell had no answer.
18. Blaming Romany gypsies for abducting Madeleine
Clarence Mitchell on one occasion pointed the finger of suspicion at Romany gypsies for having abducted Madeleine. It appeared he had no basis whatsoever for smearing this group of people. He has never apologised for making it.
19. Using an image of Mari Luz without her parents’ permission
Months after Madeleine went missing, another child, Mari Luz, went missing, though in very different circumstances. Sadly she has since been found dead. The McCanns printed posters of Madeleine together with Mari Luz - without gaining the parents’ prior permission. Her parents were very upset, and complained. Clarence Mitchell reacted by stating: “It’s a shame that they are complaining about us in a press release. How can they be angry with is for wanting to help when all we’re trying to do is find their own daughter?”
20. Being ‘encouraged’ that Madeleine ‘may have been abducted by paedophiles’
In early 2008, stories were put about by an unknown Portuguese lawyer, Marcos Alexandre Aragao Correia, that Madeleine McCann had been abducted by paedophiles, raped, murdered and her body dumped in a dammed lake. At the time, a new drawing of a possible abductor was released, and part of the Arade Dam was searched. A friend of the McCanns was quoted as saying: “We fear that a group of two or three paedophiles may have been fishing around the apartments, casing them with a view to taking children".
Mitchell then commented:
“Developments such as this give Mr and Mrs McCann renewed hope. That is exactly the sort of call we want. We think the image is of such a quality that anyone who knows him will be able to identify him. Kate and Gerry are quite buoyant at the moment - every time we do something like this and move things forward it gives them strength. We’re very encouraged by this - putting all this information out, these images out, is helping Gerry and Kate in one way; simply by doing it we have got some momentum and are pushing the agenda forward on our side of the equation”.
Many asked why Mitchell and the McCanns could use such words as ‘buoyant’ and ‘encouraged’ in relation to Madeleine’s having possibly been raped and murdered by paedophiles.
And his use of the word ‘agenda’, yet again, once more prompted the question: What was their ‘agenda’?
21. Explaining why the McCanns deliberately left their three children alone again the night after Madeleine and Sean had been crying the night before
On SKY News, Clarence Mitchell was interviewed, following a pre-recorded interview with the McCanns in which they admitted, for the first time, that two of their children had been crying on the night before Madeleine went missing. There was public outrage that the McCanns were told by their children that they had been crying the previous night whilst they were dining out, only to then leave them alone again the very next night. The SKY News presenter asked: “Why did Kate and Gerry choose to leave the children the same way the very next night?” Clarence Mitchell’s reply is instructive. Here it is in full:
“That is one interpretation. Let me put it in context. On the morning of May the 3rd, the day Madeleine later went missing, she came out, and said to Gerry and Kate at breakfast, very briefly as an aside, in no way was she unhappy or crying and then, in no way was she reprimanding her parents as some reports papers have wrongly, er, said. She simply said: “Why didn’t you come see - come and see me and Sean when we were crying, last night?”, and Kate and Gerry were puzzled by that, because in their checks - they had been checking her every 25/30 minutes, the same as they did the next night, when she went missing - they had found nothing to suggest that she was in any way distressed or upset, they found her asleep each time.
“There was nothing wrong. Rachel Oldfield, one of their friends, was in the apartment next door, in the room adjacent to Madeleine’s bedroom. She too was there all evening and heard no crying through the walls. There was nothing to suggest this had happened. So it was a puzzle to Kate and Gerry when Madeleine mentioned it. They tried to question her about it, and she just walked off laughing, and, er, happy, she was [note the past tense] a child and she and, and so, so she dropped it. Now they of course had a serious discussion about what had possibly gone wrong and they decided to check her more thoroughly that next night, and that’s what they did. And in the context of ‘leak’ came from a Spanish journalist known to be very sympathetic to the McCanns].
“What happened later - her disappearance - they felt that that conversation, puzzling as it was, was very important to bring to the police’s attention. They wonder why, if she cried, why she cried. Was something, or someone already in that room to make her cry and they fled when she cried? Who knows? They can’t prove that, but they told the police in confidence - legally protected documentation has been in those files for 11 months - and why does it appear on the very day they were at the European Parliament? Somebody in the police doesn’t want Kate and Gerry to widen the agenda [that word again!], for whatever reason. It’s wrong. It’s illegal, and the Portuguese government needs to stop this…from happening in the future”
During this long reply, we see the master media manipulator at work.
He makes light of two children crying while their parents were not with them.
He justifies the McCanns’ decision to go out dining with their friends and leaving all three children alone again the very night after the children told them of their crying.
He claims, without evidence, that the police leaked the story about the McCanns’ children crying on their own the night before.
He claims the police have done something illegal.
Some might admire him as a master of his craft, and indeed one writer has already said that the McCanns’ public relations campaign will for years to come be ‘a textbook example of how to control the media and manipulate public opinion’.
But, we may ask, if this is true, whose interests has Clarence Mitchell been serving? Is he someone who is genuinely helping us get to the truth?
Or is it just possible that this person who once boasted that his job was ‘to control what comes out in the media’ is someone who does his best to stop us getting to the truth?

The perfect person to send out at great cost when a child is missing?Clarence Mitchell in his own words, on 29 September 2007 to Espresso: “I was the head of the government's Media Monitoring Unit. Forty people work there and their function is to control what comes out in the media."
Clarence Mitchell... what is that smell?

Julian Peribanez
Metodo 3 detective, seen in this short video clip shielding his face as he tours the streets of Praia da Luz in company with his boss, Brian Kennedy, who we see later in the clip walking down a street in Praia da Luz with his son, Patrick, who is now owner of the Cheshire-based property empire, Patrick Properties:
He appears to have been one of the Metodo 3 men employed simply to promote false ‘sightings’ of Madeleine. He was also employed in interviewing the ‘Jensen’ sisters, whose subsequent witness statements looked pretty dubious, to put it mildly.
In 2011 he was arrested and remanded in custody for taking an active role in placing illegal recording equipment on tables of a Barcelona restaurant patronised by Barcelona’s political elite. When a selection of these tapes were leaked, they caused huge embarrassment to leading Catalonian politicians, and a media and political storm followed. In the wake of this mayhem, Metodo 3 finally collapsed and went into administration.
Here’s a video of Peribanez giving an intereview on Spanish TV about Metodo 3:
Mind you, Peribanez redeemed himself a bit. He confessed his crime of illegally taping conversations, shopped his fellow Metodo 3 conspirators and was dealt with lightly.
He then wrote up a book dishing the dirt on the inside story of Metodo 3. One chapter dealt with their work on the Madeleine McCann case. The Madeleine Foundation paid for a professional translation of it, and I placed it exclusively on CMOMM last year, here:

Brian Kennedy
Brian Kennedy is a very successful businessman, accumulating a personal fortune worth around £250 million. He owns a villa in Barcelona, where he once said he spends half the year, and lives in the magnificent Swettenham Hall near Congleton.
There have been some question marks about his business practices. Some of these were set out in these two links
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Then there was his controversial takeover of the ground of Stockport County Football Club, in order to promote his beloved rugby club, Sale Sharks. Under his watch, Stockport County F.C. began a terminal decline, and now lie several divisions lower in the Football Leagues.
But none of this really qualifies him as a ‘rogue’.
His Wikipedia entry is kind to him:
“Kennedy has supported charitable causes. He is the founder of the eponymous Brian Kennedy Trust, which makes charitable donations and takes up philanthropic causes in the UK. The Trust was set up in 2008, and with groups including the Cheshire police and Space4autism. He has also worked with the family of Madeleine McCann to try to find her after her disappearance in 2007”.
And it’s that part of his career that entitles him to today’s place in ‘Rogue of the Day’. Let’s look at his record in ‘trying to find Madeleine’:
1 Appointed the dodgiest detective agency in Catalonia, Metodo 3 - based in Barcelona, where he has his palatial villa - to ‘look for Madeleine’
2 Appointed lying Portuguese lawyer Marco Aragao Correia to search for Madeleine’s bones in the Arade Dam, and then to run a criminal prosecution against Gonçalo Amaral for alleged torture and allegedly filing a false report, on behalf of convicted murderess Leonor Cipriano, who killed her own daughter with the help of her brother, and then claimed she’d been abducted
3 Worked closely with lying Metodo 3 boss Francisco Marco, who openly boasted that his men knew Madeleine was alive, knew where she was being held, that his men were ‘closing in her’, and that Maddie would be ‘home by Christmas. Marco gets a dishonourable mention in this video by the way on his appearance in the Barcelona criminal courts:
4 Even after these blatant lies, continued to employ Metodo 3 for at least another 15 months
5 Worked closely with Metodo 3 detective Antonio Giminez Raso, himself a rogue who left his work as a Detective Inspector for the Catalonia Regional Drugs Squad under a cloud. In February 2008 Giminez Raso was arrested and spent four years in jail awaiting trial on charges of theft of cocaine and corrupt conduct as a police officer. He had attached himself to a 27-strong, very violent, drugs gang
6 Appointed the con-man and criminal Kevin Halligen to ‘look for Madeleine’ and paid him over £500,000 whilst most of the time he was swanning around Europe and the USA with his equally high-living girlfriend, Shirin Trachiotis. Halligen was paid out of funds generously given by the British public to the Find Madeleine Fund
7 Appointed Henri Exton, ex-Head of the Covert Intelligence Unit at MI5, to draw up two e-fits, supposed to be of one man, but which looked completely different from each other. Months earlier (December 2007) he had signed up Martin Smith to join the McCann campaign and it seems that Smith and other family members were prepared to agree that Exton’s efits were the man the police should be looking for. Funny that, as Smith said he only saw the man’s face in the dark for a second or two and then told police in May 2007 that he’d never be able to recognise the man if he ever saw him again
8 Got his friend Andrew Dickman to set up a never-used domain name for ALPHAIG, a fictitious company created to give the false impression that Dave Edgar and Arthur Cowley were heading up a long-established detective agency known as Alpha Investigations Group.
Let’s hope that one day Brian Kennedy will have to fully account to someone for these egregious actions.

Lord Timothy Bell
The wealthy owner of prestigious PR company Bell Pottinger.
Bell Pottinger prostitutes itself to some of the most disgusting regimes on the planet, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, raking in tens of millions for giving positive publicity to this cruel, odious, oppressive regime.
( More reports about Bell Pottinger’s support for this evil regime here):

Other oppressive regimes from which Lord Bell’s company has made millions include Belarus (Byelorussia) and Uzbekistan.
Wikipedia also records that he “successfully lobbied on behalf of the Saudi Arabian government to discontinue the UK’s Serious Fraud Office investigation into alleged bribes in the Al Yamamah arms deal”. What a hero!
In the McCann case, he sent his subsidiary company Resonate to Praia da Luz days before Madeleine was reported missing.
On Friday 4 May he sent out his ‘Head of Risk’, Alex Woolfall (who will feature in ‘Rogue of the Day’ later), who seems to have spent most of his time deleting, editing and cropping images from the McCanns’ SD memory card before downloading them onto a CD, thus helping to deny the PJ access to the original memory cards.
Finally, the greedy git took £500,000 of public money donated by the British public to the Find Madeleine Fund to enrich himself and his company for ‘keeping the McCanns on the front page’ for one year. Good for the McCanns. But it didn’t help to find Madeleine.
