Hello again friends and foes.....

regarding our beliefs and support for this case.

This is
something that I have long considered and have, at times, grown
infuriatingly frustrated at the seeming inaction and gullibility of the
public, as I know we all have.

I HAVE, however, chilled a little bit in my old age!

I am an Investigative Journalist or undercover reporter, rather than a
standard hack, scribe or 'scoop' getter. What that means is that I lack
the necessary skills to write concise COPY or to 'produce', so to speak,
meaning that I have to follow someone elses script or direction. But
this case has taught me FAR more about journalism that anything I have
seen in my time within the industry itself.

I have written previously about the Power of the Press and how the dailies have danced to Clarence's tune, (and still DO).

It is as I have previously stated; if you still have a sizeable section
of the General Public who believe that the War in Iraq was/is all about
terror and Weapons of Mass Destruction, then what chance does anyone
have of opening the publics' eyes to what we know to be clear subterfuge
regarding Madeleine McCann?

People HAVE to make up their own
minds and opinions! It's what democracy is all about. You can't FORCE
them to accept your point of view, even when it's obvious!

As
the popular saying goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can make
it drink", OR, as my Australian Martial Arts supremo says:-


"you can kick a dead horse all the way from Sydney to Melbourne, but
when you get to Melbourne, it's still gonna be f***ing dead!"

BUT, dear friends, I have every confidence that anyone who IS genuinely
interested in what happened to Madeleine McCann WILL take it upon
themselves to dig a little deeper and try and uncover further
facts/evidence surrounding this case. It is THOSE people to whom are
continued writings should be aimed at.

TWO very close people in
my life, both clever, sensible and articulate people do NOT believe
that the McCanns were in any way complicit in the disappearance of their
daughter.

One, the Mother of my Journalist colleague who is a
wonderful, clever and loving woman, a Mother herself, can NOT accept
that the seemingly heartbroken exterior of Kate is anything other than
genuine. Consequently, that is sufficient evidence for her to refrain
from delving deeper into the case and NOTHING that one can say to her
will make her deviate from her beliefs.

The OTHER person is my
dear, departed journalist colleague, Nigel, a far better Journalist than
I; smart, quick, erudite and measured. His feeling? That it would be
impossible for ANYONE to maintain such a front, such a pretence, without
cracking up and confessing........

A VALID point, arguably. But of course, he never got to review the evidence as we know it to be.

I DO, however, take comfort in the fact that there are a great many
people, those who DO take the time and interest to look beyond the Sun
headlines and editorials, who believe that there is clearly more to this
case than meets the eye.

These people do not need to study
the evidence or our writings and comments, or those comments elsewhere
that refute the McCanns claims. They need only to study the deeds, words
and actions of the couple themselves, (and their team), over the past 5
years to see the conflicting testimonies, the inaccuracies and the
ludicrous, (sorry, Clarence), assertions.

So do NOT give up in
the quest to spread the word! If you need inspiration, think of the poor
Portuguese who have GENUINELY suffered because of this case!

Paulo Reis
is to be admirably supported in his quest to reach a wider audience
regarding the abominations that the British Press, (and our GOVERNMENT),
have inflicted on Portugal, our TRUE historical oldest ally.


More importantly, pay no HEED to the ramblings of the Twitter trolls
with whom we spend time arguing with. They do not CARE about nor do they
want to know the evidential points of the case. They are driven by
forces known only to themselves. I am certain that for most of them,
they genuinely ARE acting as an orchestrated force, programmed to all
sing from the same hymn sheet, and I know for a FACT that many of them
do not even believe the words they themselves utter.

For them, it is the conflict and battle that appeals, not the cause.

As for those that simply prefer to chant with crystals, light candles
or compose & sing saccharine sweet, vomit inducing ballads of hope.

Just keep in mind that horse from Sydney to Melbourne.....

Happy Birthday, Madeleine, wherever you may be.

I don't worship at your altar as others do.

Nobody has said that spudgun is at an altar. However, I always find it odd that anyone who dares to speak up for Madeleine is not given credit.

Here is his now famous You Tube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRvgK6M2_7Q8

You are of course entitled to your opinion Spaniel but perhaps you would like to say why you feel that way.

Never a truer word said Spudgun. This is the exact troll sole motives

If you were to ask me a year ago I would have had the same thoughts as your 2 close friends. It was only due to the phone hacking scandal which started last year that somewhere I came across the PJ statements. I read these statements purely just out of curiosity as I had never read actual police statements before on a big case I knew about. A few hours later (david paynes was real hard work to read and make sense of) it shocked me that this was clearly some sort of scam and a cover up. Their statements make no sense and so inconsistent and so obvious they were lying, I have never read anything like them before. Hence I then researched further and the further I researched the more I discovered the real truths....so bad that I will fight to the bitter end to expose them all for the sake of Maddie, freedom of speech, and to live in a country I was brought to believe in. If the public knew the facts of the statements and many other truths, I know would be angry at the real truth and having been duped for 5 years with their monies robbed into a limited company under the guise of a charity to search for a missing child....We can't rely on someone who holds some sort of power to be strong enough to reveal the truth, the way to defeat the evil machine is people power and getting the facts across to the unsuspecting public

Surely that is a prosecutable offense, that they've even admitted to? It's not as if nothing happened as a result of this neglect of their duty of care.
