Kate McCann "ploughs" ONE MILLION into Maddie seach

The way I read it, she's justifying her reason for writing the bewk.

KATE MCCANN'S BEST-SELLING BOOK SAVES FUND FROM THE BRINK

Sunday January 20,2013
By James Murray

THE fund to help find Madeleine McCann would have plunged into the red unless her mother Kate McCann had written her best-selling book on the mystery disappearance.

In 2011 the accounts stood at £125,175 but figures for the period ending in March last year show there is now a healthy £474,867 in the bank. (/quote]

James Murray's article gets off to a good start with a sentence which does not make sense. It should say that the fund would have gone into the red "if her mother Kate McCann had not written......"

Thank goodness Kate's novel kept the wolf from the door!

Then he says that there is £474,867 in the bank when the figure is actually £528,267 - ah well, what's a difference of £53,400 among friends?

It would certainly pay for a load of wristbands and other tat!

Right, here's what I don't get. We are told that the fund stood at £125,175. Then serialisation (the lions share) and royalties (hardly a bestseller, is it???) brings the total to £863,362... What about the book advance (did that ever show???) Anyway, we are told the total stands at £474,867.
Sooo, my question is.... Considering the PI's were stood down and there is no 'search' (if indeed there ever was) WHERE has £388,765 gone??? I know interest rates are low, but surely they would earn SOME?
What is all this £ being wasted on??? Surely Katey wasn't telling porkies (perish the thought) in the bewk when she said CR are doing most of the work pro-bono? So WHERE is it going! Would be nice to have over a third of a million pounds to squander at will...

I reckon that, by the time they are, the money will have been used to pay off the mortgage on Rothley Towers!

The McCanns were putting a million pounds into the Fund from the proceeds of the Book.. but hang on! Only a few weeks ago we heard  that the Fund was running so low (those wristbands just aren't selling these days) that they put in a million pounds of their own money from the book into the Fund.

This is rather surprising as the book cover states clearly that ALL monies from the sale of this book will go into the Fund. That is, as from 2011 and apparently this is not the case. The Trade Descriptions Act might apply here?

As for other early contributions to the Fund - this speech floored me the first time I came across it, it reads like the setting up of a business, partners are mentioned, 'big business' 'Multi-national'


The date is probably the 18th of May 2007. Launching the Fund:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyZMF7RFScs


It sounds more about the launch of a company than anything to do with the search for an allegedly abducted child.
The transcript is my own, but it should be pretty accurate:

Gerry and Kate have asked me to give you an idea of the spread and scale of the campaign and the huge response to the fund that was officially launched yesterday.

Let me start by saying that Gerry and Kate are taking immense strength from the support and the good wishes they are receiving from all over the world.
They have been totally overwhelmed by offers from individuals, small companies and large multi-national corporations. Both of them are firmly fixed on the campaign which is designed to raise Madeleine’s profile right across Europe and ensure we bring her home safely.

Their purpose is to turn hope into action, whilst none of us are experts in campaigning the situation we have found ourselves in has galvanised us into action and made us think creatively. We are leaving no stone unturned and we have a huge number of partners who are helping us to do that from sporting celebrities to big business. Top of the list are the UK and Portuguese media in particular who have played a huge part in maintaining the profile of this case and the awareness of Madeleine. We need your continued support and now need to increase the coverage right across Europe.

Our campaign has started with an expansive poster distribution across Europe and our partners include multi nationals from the oil, banking, telecoms and retail sectors. Other multi national companies have already started to include Madeleine’s image on every outgoing email.
The response to yesterday’s launch has been huge. The official website has received over 5 million hits today and the scale of response has brought some difficulties and they are being dealt with
But this is just the start, each day brings more offers of help and new ideas we are open to anything that will bring Madeleine home.
I anyone wants to offer practical help we can be reached at : campaign @Bringmadeleinehome.com. thank you.

1. The book cover states that ALL proceeds go to the Fund. 
2. It is stated that it is their OWN money in both cases.
3. Therefore every book carries misleading  information.

Not necessarily
If the money from the book went direct to the "Fund" but has been squandered or mis-spent
the McCanns may just happen to have ANOTHER Million lying around, like builders' sand, to plough in.
where that might have come from is anyone's guess.
But perhaps the "Fund" has been assisting the family for years, as it is permitted legally to do, and they have saved the assistance . . .

Or perhaps it is another Mitchell story, aka a LIE

This lady was so desperate for a family that she had not just one but 3 IVF births.

This is the lady that felt it was ok to leave these 3 babies all under the age of 4 home alone in a foreign apartment wit doors ajar onto the street whilst she and her 'so into themselves' buddies went out for the evening, 5 evenings in a row.

It is BULL. makes no sense whatsoever that a group of medical professionals and their partners numbers nine in all would holiday and not not take it int urns to babysit the minors, considering all the minors were under 4 years of age. What makes less sence is saintly Kate comments that she had no idea about Paedophilia before the magical dissapearance of her daugher.

Kate McCann was no high rise single mother attempting to get by, she was a medical doctor. So how was it that Kate Mc Cann practiced her duties without any knowledge of tHe fact that paedophilia is rife in our society. Who were her clients and why have we not had any of them come online to share their disgust that Kate Mc Cann claims that she was ignorant or this subject prior the the dissapaearnce of her daughter.

I have said from June 2007, Kate McCann was not in a fit state to care for those children........that was no holiday, from everything I have read back then , and everything I see today, I am still of the belief that the Tapas Group were in Priaia for a conference paid for by a pharmacuetical company, and yes it is my befief that it all links to New Labour of the days secret agenda  to privatise the NHS. Clarence Mitchell's appearance on the scene early on gives clarity to my belief.

I have not read Kate McCann's book, I have principles and those principles would never allow me to financially contribute to anyting that could possibly be intended to boster those who get in the way of the fight to put a stop to the abuse of minors all over the globe.

But I gather that Kate had no problem with titallating to the extent that she went to great lenghts to describe what she imagined her daughter to be going through...........SICK. sounds like a book that paedo's all over the globe will be investing in. I hear she also went to great lenghts to let it be known that the Murdoch empire had invited her and Gerry into their inner circle by wat of an dinner invite early on.

Like I know that T Blair and G.W.Bush should right now be locked up for crimes against humanity and the key thrown away, I believe that Gerry McCann  and his fellow party of NHS medical professionals were on a secret mission (all paid for) that involved the New Labour administration and major Phamacuetical companies agenda to privatise the NHS (all came out later), TOP SECRET BACK THEN. Gerry's brother was a salesman for a well known pharmacuetical company at that time, how interesting is it that he took a sabbatical to campaign for donations to the Madeleine fund, something not right with that.

If I am to believe what is printed out there, the establishment is a cesspit of paedophiles of the worst kind, and our childrens homes are governed by a bunch of sicko's put in place by a corrupt establisment. I can beleive that, I really can.

Many moons ago I worked within the system, looking back now it is distressful to know what was going on behind the scenes.

No amount of relevations about Saville and his cahoots is going to change the lives of children in the care system today, or change the pattern of abuse.

The reason that children in the care system have been abused, and the reason that they will go on being abused, is that WE as a society are not prepared to do anything other than rant on a screen. There is nothing we can do about the past, the Savile's of this world are not about to teach us any lessons about our duty or care for our fellow man.

If we really care about the unfortunate children in the care system today, we can make a difference, and we can stop any further abuse of the children without a voice. Forget all these charities that claim to be advocates for children, they are no such thing. If you really want to make a difference make it your business to find out what childrens homes are in your area, go visit them, interact with the children there is no law that can stop you from doing so, amd in dong so you can become a barrier to the predators who act with impunity, furthermore if you have pennies to spare, put them in the coffers of your local community clubs who are none profit making and whose workers work for free in order to give a little back to the community. That is what I call charity not the like of Gift Aid which is a corporate enterprise whose funder has become a multi millonaire on the back of HMRC'c tax system whereby those whose income raises above a certain level, dump the excess to Gift aid to avoid higher taxes...it is all a big con
