James Randi was one of the best.

Despite running from 1964 to 2015, with thousands of applicants trying, no-one ever managed to win the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge.

His takedown of Uri Gellar is great.

Gellar was on the Johnny Carson show and James Randi advised the show on how to stop Gellar doing his usual tricks... and I mean tricks, usually chaos, misdirection and preprepared props.

It was embarrasing for Gellar.

Didn't Geller blame the atmosphere for his failure on that show? laugh

One thing bout the book stood out to me when compared to the JE interview. Btw Bernt amazing you’ve joined the forum! Bernt downplayed the SA involvement in the interview but the motive for the sudden impulse in the book sadly alluded to this. This makes me highly more suspicious of the Ghasper statements and I wonder if (as an nhs employee myself) the nhs has investigated the conduct of Dr Payne.

Bernt has analysed the timeline in great detail, looked at it very closely, same with the disposal of Maddie’s body. This means he can rightly speak about these aspects with a lot of confidence. He has not looked so deeply into the reasons for the cover up, so he steers clear from having strong views on this. That’s why he only alludes to it being about SA. He states why he thinks there is a cover up & how he has come to think this, but invites you to form your own opinion. The book is about the timeline and what happened to Madeleine. It is not about the cover up.

Some medical students, perhaps to distance themselves, have a habit of making idle jokes. The group's statements show that those doctors behaved in a rather childish way. Remember the word that made them laugh repeatedly about Jane going to relieve Russell.

by **PeterMac** 19.10.24 15:03

ALL Medical students !!
The first thing they have to do, in year 1 – age 19/20 – is dissect a human body. Black humour is the only way to get round that.

by **AnneCGuedes** 19.10.24 15:24

They rarely dissect now and avoid touching their patients as much as possible. Insane.

I’m only around 15% of the way through the book. So far I am enjoying the read. I’m just concluding the section on the timeline and the discrepancies within the timeline. I can understand the point of view that some see a good dose of repetition in the book, but I can certainly understand the need for that, especially in the section I have just read. The supposed timeline is such a tangled web that it certainly requires an amount of repetition to fully appreciate some of the links and intricacies of each point. I will state that my viewpoint and Bernt’s are not in alignment with regards to certain elements, including the involvement of the friends on holiday, however I am open to reason and I will reserve my questions until after I have finished the book as I may well find the answers by reading on.

I totally agree about the repetition. I think it’s wholly necessary. He is bringing clarity to a colossal mess, I don’t see how he could do that without the repetition. Certainly not without losing his audience.

For those of you wanting The Sudden Impulse e-book read in audio (so you don't have to read all 800 pages yourself), here's how it is done:

1. Purchase the e-book via Smashwords
2. Download the ReadEra App.
3. Upload your e-book file into ReadEra App
4. Select thr 'speaker' icon/button in the top RHS of ReadEra (you can select voice type too).

I've done the above and it has worked perfectly, and I am on my 4th read out in a UK Male voice. NB Yes! Jane stepped in the salad!

Fear of Madeleine being found?

Fear of the cause of Death being Established?

In the night from May 3 to 4, fear that M's body would be found. After 48 hours, that fear vanished (for good).

Anne.
Kate told us she had horrible vivid slide shows going on in her head for days and weeks, about Maddie mottled on a large grey stone slab.

Again you're screaming at those who actually read my book, that you did not.

If you'd read my book, you'd know that Kate only felt relieved after they'd moved the body, which was weeks later...

The least the police could do is interview him and either follow up or dismiss what he has to say after that.
It alll depends on what he is able to tell them.

Despite appearing credible, I get the feeling that there is no real proof/evidence (yet!) even though Bernt is convinced of certain things. I feel that he needs extra evidence to corroborate his theories and that is why he can't really "show all his cards" as he said, I think ??

It seems to me that he is trying to find a way to provoke some kind of confirmation of his theories in publishing his book. I haven't read it so just going on what others have said and what he has said in his interviews.

Most unfortunately, Bernt Sallender rejects all the evidence that Madeleine was no longer alive by the Sunday evening, 29th April 2007, which is why I have not contributed to threads about his book.

Tony.
Absence of signs of life, is not evidence of death.
But you are ignoring what Mrs Fenn heard and the tennis photo. You are also refuting OCCAM'S RAZOR, which rarely leads to the truth. You are even refuting the land slide of leaks in their statements, the diary and Kate's bewk.
So agree to disagree.

If you'd read my book, you wouldn't add the pj comments at the end.
If you actually did read the book, you are unfortunately too rigid to see the burning steak under your nose, but instead stuck on the crumbles on the table.

Do you think statement analysis is a pseudo science, Mr. Bannett?

Question: Should these latest posts by 'Bernt S', Tony Bennett and others, not be moved to the Category "Latest News and Debate", under 'BS-TFD The Sudden Impulse'? We all claim to respect the theories and opinions of one another, it's just disappointing to find that some don't always adhere to this basic principle.

by deepeepee 04.11.24 8:05

Yep, they should not be here in the Brueckner topic. It has gone well off track.

by **CaKeLoveR** 04.11.24 8:25

The differing points of view may be getting a little heated, but I don't think they will go any further.

Tony, why do you think Maddie died on Sunday? Mrs. Fenn heard her crying on Tuesday night. Do you think she heard another child or lied?

by Verity 04.11.24 9:02

Is it possible Maddie had her fall on the Sunday but didn't die until the Tuesday?

Sorry to see Tony has such a closed mind. Even Peter is more open minded after having read Bernt's book, which clearly Tony hasn't.

Tony, you're both on the same side.

I think Mrs Fenn heard something the Tuesday night and that more medication was used Wednesday so it didnt happen again.

I don't think they faked the creche records all week but it was possible Thursday.

If you haven't read Bernt's book then I think you should.
