While i agree that clues and mistakes can leak through statements or visible discomfort can sometimes suggest the hiding of a secret or guilt, often it is just a simple thing.Not everything needs to be read into and analysed. Find a fully qualified UK Psychologist with experience in the field, and with experience in suspect questioning, who suggests either of the McCanns display tell-tale signs of psychological narcissism. It's a buzzword picked up by thousands who watch documentaries and used to try and sell a bias. You suggest it can be 'used in evidence against ' . As I say, first you have to find someone with impressive credentials, then you have to fins a court willing to allow it . I doubt you could find the former, and I'm sure the latter's a no- go <br /><br />Rosalinda, Cristobell Hutton5 October 2017 at 19:24<br /><br />''Bad people do not confine their badness to just the one nasty streak..Unravelling one crime, can lead to the unravelling of many more, some entirely unrelated.

You seem to keep it simple ( the parents did it, there's been 'contacts' shielding them, the police wouldn't be part of a cover up). On the other hand you imply bribery and corruption involving people beyond your chosen culprits ( MPs and 'marketers' and so on) and often point to the idea of so many pillars of society being involved in such things, especially involving children, is ludicrous(despite overwhelming historical records that say otherwise).<br /><br />Googling the Shirley Oaks atrocities is enough to remind anyone that uniforms and position shouldn't always kid you into blindly respecting either.

SY too, it would appear, have operated under judicial secrecy. <br /><br />I suspect the £154k is to bring the case to a final conclusion, ready to present to the Portuguese prosecutors, with all the evidence of both police forces joined together.<br /><br />The thing with a jigsaw puzzle, is that all the separate pieces have to fit exactly, you can force them in, or chop bits off, the only way the puzzle becomes complete, is when all the right pieces are in the right place. <br /><br />Bad people do not confine their badness to just the one nasty streak. Bullies at work for example, are usually guilty of financial crimes too. Try to imagine what Donald Trump is like, behind closed doors, if that is his good side?<br /><br />Unravelling one crime, can lead to the unravelling of many more, some entirely unrelated. Those complicit in deceit want something for themselves, or, because those demanding the deceit have the power to destroy them. The governments of the 50's and 60's were vulnerable because homosexuality was illegal, the lives of politicians could be destroyed by the Sunday papers. <br /><br />Bribery and corruption however, is probably still going strong and this multimillion pound case was wide open to it.

It was ludicrous to send MI5 , a PM and Chancellor to another country and appoint a media controller in a police investigation concerning the abduction of a child.It was ludicrous to utilise dogs then ignore them. It was ludicrous that the media were reporting so much misinformation while still under the scrutiny of Government man Mitchell.The list goes on .<br /><br /> None of us know what the real remit to OG was or is. That they've added nothing but time and cost to it all doesn't say they're breaking any land speed records in finding an answer to this.More money and more time will be more waste. If I'm wrong- great- it means the case will have been solved.But looking at this race, OG isn't a horse i'd be wanting to back in running. If i was the bookie id make the book as follows : 12/1 arrest/s and charge/s. 1/5 case shelved until further notice( evidence /confession). In other words - stale mate looks odds on.

It was nothing of the sort and like yourself, I'm glad the SC confirmed it. <br /><br />I'm reading VT/Ziggy's digs at Goncalo Amaral as a sign of his being unhinged 14:44. This stopped being about GA many years ago, only a limited few would still bear such an intense grudge. <br /><br />It would be very Kremlin-esque if this case were filed away without any convictions and with a secret result known only to a select few. And given it's worldwide fame/infamy - impossible.<br /><br />The 'British' insulted the Portuguese. Not only did they insult them, they prevented a crime from being solved. They stepped in as 'the professionals', to show the Portuguese how it's done, a sense of competition is inevitable. <br /><br />I tend to think the British, under Cameron, felt a need to make reparation to the Portuguese for the previous government's interference. Perhaps even with financial assistance in their own re-opened investigation. It was Scotland Yard, for example, who paid for the digs and searches in and around PDL. <br /><br />Operation Grange can only assist the PJ, they are not the lead force. And over the past few days it is beginning to become apparent, that OG haven't revisited the original investigation. Something they would almost certainly have done if they believed that the original investigation was botched. Translated, Goncalo Amaral is again vindicated.

That's why evidence produced before a jury is pretty handy. In this case, there wasn't any-so they tell us. When the PJ shelved it in 2008 it was a gesture. It spoke of their attitude and opinion of the case - ie, it was being stalled and was out of their hands. That's when it went cold in terms of a police investigation.<br /><br />''No wonder the SC stated that the McCanns have not been cleared.''<br /><br />Their opinion effects nothing. The opinion of the PJ/SY/OG does. They're carrying out the investigation - supposedly.<br /><br />''Amaral has nothing to do with the police investigation now, I don't know why you brought his name into your post''<br /><br />You should have read it again. I made the comparison ( him and Riberio ) as they were pivotal in the PJ side of things. One hinted that there was no need to look any further, the other stated categorically that he thought the parents buried a body. Both were removed.<br /><br />''I doubt OG want a stale mate, not after £11 million plus has been spent on finding the people responsible for the disappearance/death of Madeleine.''<br /><br />It depends on what the alternative is. £11 million is huge to you and me. Its stake money to others<br /><br /><br />''Someone/some people are involved in the disappearance/demise of Madeleine and they need to be brought to court and imprisoned if necessary.''<br /><br /><br />I agree. It's quite a(to quote a UK politician or two) 'situation'. It's unfortunate that it wasn't simply a police investigation that was allowed to gather pace and momentum rather than have its laces tied together at the starting line. The 'some people' are pretty high rollers if the political involvement and funding is any mark to go by. Now, if they were ever unmasked, the public outcry would be like a hurricane.<br /><br />VTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-48184324340750791722017-10-05T15:08:38.920+01:002017-10-05T15:08:38.920+01:00Many thanks for your interesting post 'loyal r...Many thanks for your interesting post 'loyal reader', and I was very touched by our sign off, aw shucks. <br /><br />I think we are going to be in for a lot of surprises LR, this length of the investigation and the amount of resources thrown at it (seemingly without question), suggests this is something very big.<br /><br />There is no question, that some, who knows how many, perverted the course of justice, hence we are still here 10 years on. Whether that will include former Prime Ministers or Cabinet Ministers, time will tell. To be honest, I think this has all the makings of a public inquiry.<br /><br />However, by 2007, Blair had reached the 'off his rocker' stage of his premiership. He had already got away with an illegal war, thousands killed in his name, and was about to knight the horse he rode alongside Rupert and Rebekah. <br /><br />If anyone were to examine the entire litany of his lies and crimes against humanity, the disappearance of one little girl, is small potatoes. <br /><br />Unfortunately, such is life, if each of us, so engrossed by this case, were to study other cases in similar depth, we would discover we are swimming in sewage. Maybe, that is why, I have just stuck with the one, my poor troubled head can only take so much. <br /><br />Madeleine's case is unique, in that no other has been under such intense scrutiny for so many years. I suspect, when this case does break, and I think this will be quite soon (especially after reading JB), it will be massive, possibly even a bigger story than it was in 2007. <br /><br />I think by now we can be fairly certain OG are not investigating the life and times of petty criminals in PDL. Nor have they acted as if there were a risk to other children staying in the Algarve. <br /><br />I actually suspect, OG are not involved in the investigation of the original crime at all. As Mr. Rowley said, that part of the investigation is complete. <br /><br />So what are they investigating? There is little they can do in Portugal, they haven't taken the case worldwide, so they can only investigate the British side, whatever that might be. Sir B HH mentioned 130+ people of interest when OG began, did he give something away?

So his head rolled. Being philosophical about it, he's probably happy he still has one .As you point out, nobody over there or here has done anything to counter his claim .It doesn't necessarily mean him and Amaral were on the same page regarding the finer details, but it would seem they were on the right track inasmuch as the UK involvement was to keep the masquerade going. The question is for who ? To say it's for the parents is too simple for my liking.Op Grange was put in place by the Tory Party of the time . If Ribeiro was /is right them the UK had to know what he knew. But the PJ had no need to cover up anything. Their subtexts always seem to suggest 'our hands are tied, and that's the way it will be'. Not so much a case of read my lips, but more read between my lines..<br /><br />This seems to put to bed any doubt about OG being part of a cover up if I'm reading Ribeiro right via the post above. He said no more money needed because, as pointed out, nowhere to look and, therefore, no extra man hours or manpower to pay for. So, as I see it, in terms of a police investigation, it went unofficially cold not long after it began . Which suggests that, since then, it has been a game of political chess.

It is, of course, a tiny amount: once salaries are paid there is no money left over for pursuit or "searching". They don't need it.<br /><br />I’ve frequently referred in various places to the McCann investigation interview given by PJ head Alipio Ribeiro to three European newspapers in summer 2007. The Amaral activist and excellent free-lance translator Sofia de Landerset sent me a copy of the interview the same day and invited me to draw my own conclusions. It turned out that we independently took exactly the same view, one that was later confirmed in the records.<br /><br />Ribeiro, like Rowley, was sensibly guarded in his answers but there was one area that gave him away. Following a clamorous media campaign for more activity, more feet on the ground and more money (inspired by who?) the journalists asked him what extra resources the investigation needed. “None,” replied Ribeiro and explained that it was a matter of analysing the data already in their possession until the pieces fell into place, the famous “Hercules Poirot” quote. <br /><br />The pieces never did fall into place, which cost Ribeiro his job. That’s an argument for another time: what matters here is what the quote meant if you thought hard enough about it – the only way the investigation could go on record saying it didn’t need more resources was if they were quite certain they were no longer looking for a live child and no longer looking for an abductor, for those are the things that eat up the millions and need a bigger and bigger head count. Ribeiro made it clear that all he needed was a small analytical squad fully familiar with the investigative results so far. <br /><br />It hardly needs adding that six years of separate reviews and separate new investigations by the Portuguese and the British have not discovered anything to invalidate Ribeiro’s view. Quite the reverse. No live child has ever turned up and no abductor trails have ever led anywhere – if the latter had occurred we would have had the McCanns leaking it like Niagara Falls.<br /><br />The parallels with the state of the investigations do not need emphasising. Operation Grange does not want more resources apart from those required to keep a very small team going. No air fares to Borneo or Mauretania or wherever the McCanns might believe she might be, no sense of urgency to save her because, of course, she’s dead. Like Ribeiro, Grange knows that nothing is going to come out to make them eat their words – ever. <br /><br />In the end Ribeiro ran out of time and access to his suspects. That is not something that will happen to Grange this time, however much some people might want it to. Nor is it going to happen to the PJ. <br />john blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129193861290186160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-2497944496526961382017-10-04T21:56:47.970+01:002017-10-04T21:56:47.970+01:00Saludos Ros

(KM on Hugh’s question whether she was keeping a diary: “the idea had never crossed my mind”.) Why would Philomena ask Kate to keep a journal when Kate already had been writing in the A4 notebook she’d been given?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-21663940968276453722017-10-04T15:53:58.242+01:002017-10-04T15:53:58.242+01:00''Who advised Kate McCann to keep a diary?...''Who advised Kate McCann to keep a diary? Philomena or Hugh (brought in by Control Risks)?''<br /><br />Why couldn't they both have suggested it ? Keeping a journal is a much -used therapeutic tool for people in extreme and / or extreme emotional pain.<br /><br />VTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
