2nd MF letter to David Cameron re PUBLIC ENQUIRY INTO ALL ASPECTS OF MADELEINE'S DISAPPEARANCE

SIGN THE PETITION FOR A FULL PUBLIC ENQUIRY INTO MADELEINE'S DISAPPEARANCE: www.madeleinefoundation.org.uk - click on the Care2 icon (top right) - 786 signatures so far
The Prime Minister hasn't answered our letter of 18 May yet - apart from the evasive answers to our Freedom of Information Acr questions, that is.
And things have changed since 18 May; the Prime Minister's closeness to, one might also say 'dependance on', News International has been laid bare for all to see.
And amongst all the issues surrounding 'Hackgate', one of the most prominent is the Prime Minister's appointment of Andy Coulson of the NOTW - and the susbequent weekend at Chequers when Coulson was an honoured guest.
So exactly why did Cameron and Coulson take on the McCanns' reputation manager, Clarence Mitchell, on 4 March 2010 to help them win the General Election?
And if there is a case for a judge-led inquiry with the power to summon witnesses into 'Hackgate', why not also into all apsects of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, as the Madeleine Foundation has been calling for since early 2010?

Dear Prime Minister
re: The need for a full public enquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann (Further letter)
Once again we thank you for receiving, in October last year, our petition, which is still running, calling for a judge-led, independent. public enquiry into all aspects of the reported disappearance of Madeleine McCann on 3 May 2007. We also thank you for the answers given by your colleague to our accompanying Freedom of Information Act questions; however, we do not think that your staff have supplied sufficient particulars in response to our questions, therefore we seek a review of his answers, and further information, in a separate letter, enclosed with this one. In this respect, we know that you have frequently said on the record that ‘transparency’ is your watchword, so we hope that full answers will now be given within both the letter and the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act.
However, you have not provided us with any response to our letter, in particular to the four key requests we made in our previous letter (copy attached) to you of 18 May 2011, which were:
1) That you set up a full, judge-led, independent public enquiry, with the power to summon witnesses, into all aspects of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
2) That you call off the ‘Scotland Yard Review’
3) That, in the alternative, if you and the Home Secretary, Theresa May, still consider that there should be a ‘Review’, that you find another Chief Constable who would agree to carry it out, not the Met Police, and
4) That you and the Home Secretary make it crystal clear to both the reviewing team and to the public that this ‘Review’, if it is to proceed, will be able to pursue the hypothesis that MadeleineMcCann died in her parents’ holiday apartment and that the McCanns conspired to hide her body.
Changes in the situation since we last wrote to you
There have been many developments in the situation relating to our requests since we wrote to you in May. Among the main ones, in summary, are the following:
A. Some key officers amongst the top echelons of the Metropolitan Police Force have been forced to resign in relation to their conduct, which clearly embraces both serious failures to investigate crimes, and the existence of a cosy nexus with the top echelons of News International. It is likely that an enquiry will find that their closeness to News International clouded their judgment. Just as we said in our earlier letter, that raises the question as to whether Scotland Yard is the correct police force to carry out a Review into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, assuming that it is right to continue with this Review at all.
B. Sir Paul Stephenson, Metropolitan Police Commissioner, has been forced to resign. It was he, together with yourself, the Home Secretary and senior staff from News International who co-ordinated the ‘exclusive’ announcement by yourself of a Review, apparently on terms demanded by the McCanns, in the Sun newspaper on 12 May 2011, the date Dr Kate McCann published her book, ‘madeleine’. Sir Paul Stephenson has been heavily criticised for having committed his force and £3.5 million of taxpayers’ money to this Review exercise, the purpose of which you said was to ‘support the family’.
C. Your own very close relationship with News Corp or ex-News Corp and News International owners and senior executives has been highlighted during the past three weeks. This included your family’s close personal relationships with Rebekah Brooks, and your 26 meetings with her and other senior NewsCorp figures in the first 15 months of your Premiership. It included discussions with Rupert Murdoch himself. However, the single most embarrassing feature of all these relationships for yourself, as Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition has made clear and the media agree, was your decision to appoint Andy Coulson, against clear advice from many senior figures, as your Director of Communications - and then invite him for a weekend at Chequers two months after he had resigned from your service, the second time he had resigned because of his association with the News of the World ’phone hacking scandal.
In the House of Commons on Wednesday this week, offering words of regret and sorrow about your appointment of Andy Coulson, millions of us heard you utter these words: “You live and you learn and believe you me, I have learnt”. We believe that some of the painful lessons you have learnt over the past three weeks also apply to matters concerning the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Can I now therefore reproduce what I wrote about the man you appointed on 4 March as your No. 2 to Andy Coulson, to help you in your General Election Campaign.
QUOTE
Returning to Clarence Mitchell, it is clear that he has a close relationship with Murdoch and his newspapers. It is clearly relevant that, in October 2008, when he began working for the McCanns on a part-time instead of a full-time basis, he was immediately employed by Murdoch’s son-in-law, Matthew Freud, at Freud Communications. His ability to work both as Head of the 40-strong Labour government’s Media Monitoring Unit, and then be employed by yourself, suggests he is a person of major influence in top government circles. There remain major question marks as to why former Prime Minister Tony Blair considered it essential to despatch the Head of the government’s Media Monitoring Unit (Mitchell) to Portugal [to help in the Madeleine McCann case] and of course about Gordon Brown’s interventions in the case.
Another indication of Mitchell’s close relationship with Murdoch is the number of times he has co-operated with both the Sun and the News of the World in promoting ‘exclusive’ stories about the McCanns in those newspapers. These stories have often been lacking in any serious evidential basis and were just media sensationalism.
UNQUOTE
Your own ties with Matthew Freud are clear from the fact that it was on his private jet that you were conveyed to meet with Rupert Murdoch on his yacht in the Mediterranean in the summer of 2009, after which the Sun, which boasted of getting Labour elected in 1997, changed from its 12-year support for Labour to support for the Conservatives. The social columns of newspapers have reported seeing both Clarence Mitchell and yourself, for example, at parties at Matthew Freud’s Holland Park home in London and at various News International parties.
In like manner to the warnings you were given about Andy Coulson, we should like to draw your attention to some of Clarence Mitchell’s recent actions, connected with the Madeleine McCann case.
For example, Carlos Anjos, Head of the Portuguese Police’s professional association, who had dealings with Clarence Mitchell over a lengthy period regarding the Madeleine McCann case, said of him: “He lies with as many teeth as he has in his mouth”.
In 2007, Clarence Mitchell was part of the McCann Team which appointed the highly controversial Spanish detective agency, Metodo 3, as their private investigators. Its boss, Francisco Marco, appointed his lead investigator, Antonio Jimenez, to be what he was to call ‘The Head of my Madeleine McCann Investigation’. Jimenez, until late 2004, had been the Head of the Catalonian Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Trafficking Unit for the Spanish Police.
As we have recently demonstrated in a 144-page article about the McCanns’ friend Brian Kennedy on our website, Antonio Jimenez, in his capacity as Head of the Madeleine McCann investigation:
· interviewed potential witnesses in Portugal and Morocco, amidst credible reports that he induced witnesses to come up with false ‘sightings’ of Madeleine by bribing them
· aided the McCann Team to develop press stories smearing Robert Murat as Madeleine’s possible abductor, a matter about which his mother made public complaint
· met with the Portuguese Police and Brian Kennedy at a meeting at Portimao Police Station on 13 November 2007 connected with Madeleine’s disappearance, where he was accompanied by his boss Francisco Marco, and
· met with Portuguese lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia at the Arade Dam on 10 December, where the two of them plotted how to manufacture the story, broken in the British press on 4 February, of a search for Madeleine’s bones in the selfsame Arade Dam.
However, in February 2008, Antonio Jimenez was thrown into a Spanish jail, having been remanded in custody on suspicion of involvement in the theft of £25 million worth of cocaine from a boat moored in Barcelona, at a time when he was the Head of the Catalonian Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Trafficking Unit. Because he was a senior police officer at the time of the theft, he was also arrested on suspicion of: while in a public office, having corrupt relationships with drug dealers.
When news broke of Jimenez’s arrest on 23 February 2008, Clarence Mitchell issued a statement on the record saying: ‘Jimenez is nothing to do with us’. That was a deliberate lie, as you will see from the above and from the fuller article on our website.
It is also right to say that a second private investigator, Kevin Halligen, chosen by the McCann Team (including Clarence Mitchell) for the stated purpose of finding Madeleine, was also jailed, as you know, being incarcerated in Belmarsh Top Security Prison from October 2009 to June 2011 awaiting extradition to the U.S. on serious fraud charges.
That at least two of the McCann Team’s top investigators should already have ended up in prison must at the very minimum give rise for huge concern. Clarence Mitchell was on good terms with News International and Murdoch men Andy Coulson and Matthew Freud. You were also very closely associated with both men. In the ’phone hacking scandal, you refused to hold a public enquiry but were forced by events to do so.
In our two letters to you, we have, we believe, demonstrated to you many reasons why there should be a judge-led independent and open public enquiry into all aspects of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. The longer you delay in setting up such an enquiry, the more difficult it will be to get at the truth. Your own connections with leading Murdoch figures are once again likely to feature in any enquiry about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, therefore the sooner this enquiry is set up, the better for all concerned.
Furthermore, the British public have given generously to the Find Madeleine Fund. An enquiry is needed to find out, amongst other things, why their contributions have apparently been used to fund crooks who appear to have been following an agenda wholly other than that of finding Madeleine McCann.
In our last letter, we wrote:
The McCanns’ appeal to you and your reply were published in the Sun newspaper, clearly by prior agreement. You said in your public letter to Dr Gerald and Dr Kate McCann: “Your ordeal is every parent’s worst nightmare and my heart goes out to you both”. Such an approach strongly suggests that you and the Home Secretary have requested Scotland Yard only to look at the possibility that Madleiene was abducted, not at the other possibility that Madeleine died in her parents’ holiday apartment.
We consider that your own close ties to Rupert Murdoch, his family and his senior executives, may have contributed to your making the decision to commit £3½ million of taxpayer’s money to a Review with the express purpose, according to yourself, of wholly backing the McCanns’ agenda. The fact that the government chose in May 2007 to send Clarence Mitchell, a man with known ties to the Murdoch empire, and who was then the Head of the government’s Media Monitoring Unit, a man who boasted that his job was ‘to control what comes out in the media’, is reason itself for being sceptical about the nature and purpose of the whole McCann Team operation.
Finally, we conclude with some recent comments in support of the petition calling for a full judge-led enquiry into Madeleine’s disappearance:
“Madeleine deserves a fair enquiry, fingers crossed”.
“Like so many, I believe the mother knows more than she lets on - PLEASE get justice for Maddie”.
“We're treated no better than docile sheep by stinking corrupt governments and the 'ministry of truth' - mainstream media. Madeleine McCann deserves the truth to be told, we all deserve the truth”.
“Let’s have some justice for that little girl”.
”No more banned information no more spin doctors, no more secrets. Truth and transparency. For Madeleine”.
“There’s too much about this story that does not make sense. It needs to be investigated properly AND publicly with no secrets”.
“The truth always comes out in the end”.
“Justice for this poor little girl has not been forthcoming. The truth should be told”.
“Kate and Gerry should be forced to answer the 48 questions put to them by the police in Portugal”.
“Maddie needs justice and the public needs to see that justice has been done”.
“Of course there should be a full public enquiry into Madeleine McCann's disappearance.
"Please can you do a full and thorough enquiry including interviewing all who were there at the scene to find out what really happened to Madeleine and where she is”.
"Mr Amaral was simply doing his job. Please do not forget it was the British sniffer dogs that found evidence of Madeleine's death. Both the British and Portuguese police came to the conclusion that Madeleine was dead and that her parents were involved in her death. This MUST be investigated further”.
“Let's get the truth out - starting with the 48 questions Kate McCann has yet to answer!”
“If an enquiry is opened I think there are bigger fish that would be caught up in the net. That is why I doubt if a full public enquiry will ever be done”.
“What is it that the McCanns are afraid of? What might possibly come out in the end?”
“These people must be forced to answer the questions they have been asked”.
“A public enquiry needs to be opened straight away”.
"I think we, the British public, deserve the truth, something I know we're not getting from those two”.
“Two score and eight questions. 48 questions Kate. Answer them. Now. Then I might believe you”.
“I am sick of the McCanns blaming everyone but themselves”.[/size]
Once again we look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible in response to our four requests.
Yours sincerely,
Anthony Bennett

As regarding the review there has been some tweets. Simon McKay (pro McCann) tweeted "believe handled McCann investigation at behest of brian kennedy at lithium" (Tim Gatt retweeted this)
Simon McKay - description on twitter "described "Criminal and human rights lawyer. Also acted in MP's expenses furore and was Nick Davies' expert in phone-hacking scandal. Defend the innocent frequently."
Tim Gatt - description on twitter "Sky News producer and creator of Too Many Tweets blog. Too many tweets make a Gatt."
I have the page saved on http://www.diigo.com but can't find a way to get it off LOL.

The Evening Standard today is reporting this - I'm highlighting it in very large letters (sorry) because of its importance:
The development came as the Standard revealed links between the judge put in charge of the hacking inquiry and the Murdoch family.
Lord Justice Leveson has attended two evening events at the London home of PR boss Matthew Freud - who is married to Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth - as well as having another dinner with him.
The revelations raised questions over why the judge had been chosen to carry out the landmark inquiry into the media, police and politicians.
Who will join me in calling for a different judge, unconnected with the Murdoch family and their associates, to head the 'Hackgate' enquiry?
P.S. Clarence Mitchell was employed by Matthew Freud as soon as he stopped working full-time for the McCanns in October 2008

The revelations raised questions over why the judge had been chosen to carry out the landmark inquiry into the media, police and politicians.
Who will join me in calling for a different judge, unconnected with the Murdoch family and their associates, to head the 'Hackgate' enquiry?
P.S. Clarence Mitchell was employed by Matthew Freud as soon as he stopped working full-time for the McCanns in October 2008

That is surely a conflict of interest, how can they legally do that ?
It should be another Judge.
Someone on Facebook should start a campaign to overturn this !!!

There are some matters about which David Cameron is not yet 'acutely aware'

No, he didn't use those words.
But he DID say on the record that the purpose of the Scotland Yard Review was 'to support her family'.
He also had a letter addressed 'Dear Kate & Gerry' published in the Sun on 12 May 2011 which said, inter alia:
"Your ordeal is every parent's worst nightmare...I am acutely aware of the frustration you must feel as more time goes by and yet no news is forthcoming...I have asked the Home Secretary to look into what more the Government could do to help find Madeleine. She will be writing to you today, setting out new action involving the Metropolitan Police Service which we hope will help boost efforts in the search for Madeleine. I sincerely hope this fresh approach will provide the investigation with the new momentum that it needs...our thoughts remain with you and your family. We will, of course, stay in close touch with you throughout".
What a crying shame it is that David Cameron is not 'acutely aware' (yet) of the Brian Kennedy-led skulduggery that lies behind the so-called 'McCanns' private investigation' - appointing crooked charlatans like Metodo 3 and Kevin Halligen, appointing two lead private investigators who ended up in prison (Halligen and Antonio Jimenez), and cynically creating the 'Arade Dam' publicity stunt with the help of Metodo 3 and the lying Madeira lawyer, Marcos Aragao Correia...well he'll know soon enough as we'll be sending him our full artilce (coming soon) on Brian Kennedy.

Just wondering if it would be appropriate to send a list of your questions/articles to the Labour Party as they are pushing Cameron to answer questions.

I agree.
Someone au fait with facebook and tweet should lobby to change judge.
Tweeting to tabloid journalists especially journalists from guardian could hopefully generate an article in the paper to raise the issue.
Or Someone or a group of people should write to both the inquiry committees objecting to Lord Justice Leveson presiding over the investigation and ask for a new judge to be appointed.
Or Maybe people should write to their MP asking their MP to raise that in Parliament.
Or Maybe people should also write in to the media like BBC and the tabloid and highlight the issue.

It's a good point, and we probably will, but the Labour Party is hopelessly compromised over 'McCanngate': Gordon Brown...Tony Blair...Clarence Mitchell...David Miliband. What action did the Labour government take to stop Leicestershire Police from promoting the McCanns' 'investigation hotline' and their fund-raising Find Madeleine Fund on their website?biker_don wrote:Just wondering if it would be appropriate to send a list of your questions/articles to the Labour Party as they are pushing Cameron to answer questions.

There are already articles about this issue, and I'm sure Labour will be pushing Camerons judgement again for all its worth.

Why do I feel shocked about Lord Leveson? Of course Cameron would appoint a judge that will rule in his favour no matter what. It has to be a judge that has no connections to the scandal and is squeaky clean....There has to be a new judge surely, as whatever he decides will not be credible. Why is this country so corrupt!!!!
Throughout all the these scandals and cover ups I always kept seeing the same 2 names somewhere who were linked coming up time and time again.....Matthew Freud and Clarence Mitchell. Below explains the 'family' connections...interesting
http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2011/07/freud-madeleine-mccann-murdoch.html
And at the heart of the 'family' that runs our once great country is the Chipping Norton Set....even more interesting how they are all connected to one another in a pact for power and corruption
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2013040/News-World-Rebekah-Brooks-David-Cameron-Chipping-Norton-set.html
Cameron tried to take the powers of OFCOM away so the BSB bid could go safely through but failed. The bigger longer term worry is Cameron and Google, there is something big going on here which has slipped under the radar
Why is there such a big cover up with the McCanns? It so blindingly obvious and we need answers from someone

What is also worrying is that all the people connected to the hacking scandal/McCanns etc must surely know that we, as a nation, know there is a cover up going on (as it's being reported in all newspapers), yet still they continue with their lies right under people's noses. Every day this case gets worse but every day they carry on regardless.
Same with David Kelly and Princess Diana. People aren't fooled yet still they say suicide/accident etc.
It's like no one else exists outside of their corrupt elite circle of....well, whoever they are...paedo protectors/kiddie fiddlers...whatever else is going on.

To quote the famous words from rebekah brooks "Deny deny deny" and say I don't know or have no knowledge, thrown in with a few sorrys and regrets where necessary...They are all saying the exact same and in time nobody gets further with the truth and the public ends up getting bored. The public must never get bored and keep pursuing otherwise things just get worse...just like the hacking did
It needs people who have the proof to come out and speak up. Unless this happens the truth will always be passed off as conspiracy theories, and our once great country will go further into deep corruption
