News & Events - August 2007

Gerry is asking for evidence from police relating to proof that she was dead.

Surely they ought to be realistic and expect all avenues to be followed rigorously within the investigation?

Police are under enough media pressure with all the speculation so why is he adding to it?

I appreciate you would prefer to believe your kid was alive but after all this time it seems less likely.

Lots of us who have not liked what the Mcanns have been doing, have been saying for weeks,
Gerry should drop his blog
The Mcanns should be more low-key
Start thinking of all missing children
They should be look at for Neglect
No more tours

And when I look at recent photo's of Gerry I think he looks terrified he knows he is close to being found out. Kate looks -scared to she knows he did it and she's being covering up for him.
Look at them on the Yahoo news page today.
Do you agree?

I really hope I can be proven wrong on this one. Only time will tell!

From here:

http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1279391,00.html

"We don't read Portuguese and I think that's the first thing to say that we haven't read the accounts first hand. "

So Im guessing this statement from a month ago has kinda fallen by the wayside then? (and yes I know you cant learn a language in a month, but clearly they aren't even bothering anymore)

"Madeleine McCann's parents are learning Portuguese as they make plans for an indefinite stay in the country to continue the search for their daughter." Sky News - July 12.


"it felt very similar to dining in your garden and I know that - and if you've ever left a child for any length of time unattended whether it be you're downstairs and the child's upstairs or you're in the garage."

- How big is your house Gerry?? Drawing parallels to leaving your child downstairs and what you did that night?

Child abduction is ' massive' according to Maddies parents and what they are doing now with youtube and any other means will go to help search for missing cildren
Don't keep targeting them with your alterior motives
They have paid the price.
Good luck to them and all organisations that look to the positive to try and pick up the pieces of peoples lives.
Who knows it could be you or I who need help.
Let's hope it does not come to that.

They know they cannot release any evidence so this call is utterly ridiculous.

They should also know police cannot discuss all details of the investigation with them. Its against the law.

They said they knew that all avenues were being explored but when it gets reported they are being looked at they have a massive dummy spit. Why? It would be odd if police didn't explore all possible avenues - surely?

First the online store has not been working for ages.

The fundraising events has dwindled dramatically sans a few hanger-oners who are planning to release some balloons or bands who want to use the Madeleine cause to promote themselves, then donate only 33% of the proceeds to the fund and keep the rest for themselves.

Now Gerry has given up on his blog.

Its all going to rack and ruin. LOL.

Regardless of your opinion on the McCanns parenting skills or lack thereof - SHOULD THEY NOT BE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO BE INFORMED ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THEIR OWN CHILD'S DISAPPEARANCE?

From the BBC.
"Madeleine McCann's parents have called on police to tell them about evidence that reportedly contradicts the belief that their daughter was abducted.

In Portugal, press reports - attributed to police sources - say detectives believe she is dead. Publicly, police are refusing to comment on the reports."
This is ridiculous.

by the way.....I think people would think I was more an anti McCann.

Just interested on intelligent views about this.... not accusations and slating each other please.

I can recall I always believed Joanna Lees when lots were implying she had done away with her boyfriend and it turned out she was telling the truth, but this time around I think the McCanns appear to not be entirely telling the truth - whether or not that means they were involved I don't know but the dogs indicating a dead body was in the apartment is not a good sign.

On the news at Gmtv this morning interview with gerry and kate.

They will not be bullied into going home to Britain by a hate campaign going on. Robert Murats lawyer has told them to go and there is word that the Portuguese police are going to proscecute them for leaving their kids.
They have also started or are going to start a new site on You Tube for missing children

The Notorious Bush and like Americans always says that they can Isolate anyone around the world if their bloody interests are criticized.

But why dont they stupid people fail to understand that the world order is changing quickly and the ultimate result of Isolating themselves from the International community because of their propaganda policies?

According to CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360' tonight, lovely anchor Soledad O'briend stated from the dept of labor stats the most dangerous jobs in the USA are: (1) Fishing ...(2) Logging & Lumber.
So Fishing is more dangerous than police work and mining? *lol*

Bush refuses Gas Tax, that is the headline on major News Networks: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20196442/

They are blaming Bush for not doing enough for repairs of our National Bridges while if you read the story complete you come to know that the new gas tax is going to generate only about 2billion per year for each state, while each state already is getting 28.5billion for the next 7 years to repair all its roads and bridges?

Why the democrats want another tax? when they already have money under the National Highway Renewal Plan which was approved and signed in 2005?

Does anyone know roughly how much taxpayer money is sent to other countries? Are there needs in this country (OUR COUNTRY) that could benefit from these dollars? Are other countries more deserving of OUR tax dollars than our own citizens? Do we need to spend money on: education, health, housing, infrastructure, environment, the young, the elderly? Hell, why am I even asking this? The answer is yes to all. The "GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD" should have no one that goes to sleep hungry at night. We should have the best schools and hospitals in the world. I am sick and tired of this and would like to see some changes. I am sick and tired of politicians who love to be viewed as saviors of the world. I am not a radical, I am a realist. Those responsible for the dispersment of funds to other countries need to look closer to home. They need not turn their backs on citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
