News & Events - September 2007

There are many terrible things happening in the world, but this one is quite simple to understand. The people want democracy and the military are trying to supress their demonstations with batons, bullets and a media blackout. Will you stand up for Burma?

You all know where I stand on the matter (I truely believe it was the parents), Im just throwing out other possibilities for you........

Have you ever thought that Maddie could have woken up in a daze and LEFT the room to look for her parents (the door was unlocked after all)
She could have wondered into a road, got hit by a car and her body disposed of by the frightened driver?

Is this case receiving too much media attention - are the parents hiding something??

After his 3rd suicide bid, he asks

'Why wont you just let me die?'

Does he not realise that this is the easy way out for him, and they wont let him die because justice must be served for those two little girls and he HAS to be punished for what he did. Someone said 'oh, just let him die, good riddence'. I dont think thats right.

Your thoughts please...
Do you think he should just be allowed to take his own life or do you think he should suffer for the rest of his life?

If the McCanns talk to the press they are accused of chasing celebrity.
If they don't talk to the press they are accused of being secretive.

If they don't cry they are accused of being cold.
If they do cry they are accused of being manipulative.

If they don't spend the fund money they are accused of keeping it for themselves.
If they do spend the money they are accused of spending it on the wrong things.

If they don't hold hands in public rumours of impending divorce circulate.
If they do hold hands in public they are accused of putting on a show.

I could go on, but I have a job to do.

There was a goodMadeleine special on Spanish tv last night called "Madeleine, El final del Silencio" on Antenna 3. They made some interesting points. There were interviews with the waiters,Robert Murats lawyer and people who live in PdL also with a forensic expert who has seen transcripts of the police interviews. He claims that in total, Kate spoke for just under 20 mins in her last 13 hour interview, the rest of the time she remained silent. They phoned Sky news but didn't call the police.That was left to Mark Warner staff to do 40 mins later. Kate actually lied and told a woman who offered to call the police that they had done it already. The residents who waited every day to applaud G and K and give them flowers finally stopped because they couldn't understand Kate laughing and joking with her sister then putting on a sad face to hold G's hand and walk to the beach with all photographers in tow.They had a babysitter booked but cancelled it a 5pm.

It was mentioned on another forum that it appears odd that Kate doesn't appear in any photo's alone with Madeleine, not any holidays snaps or pictures of them together at home, especially, you would think with Kate being prime suspect in this case, pictures of her and Madeleine would be plastered all over the papers now. Madeleine a much wanted IVF child, Kate's firstborn, yet not a single picture of them together.
I've seen pics of Gerry with Madeleine and/or the twins, but none of Kate.

The evening news usually has a section devoted to sports. newspapers have sections devoted to sports. There are special sport have hour shows on the news channels such as BBC and CNN. Why? Sports are for the most part male dominated. Should'nt the news media give equal time to women's activities?

... I asked here on Y/A if, when a case becomes too high profile, governments intervene and 'close' the case down.
Look at the link below and tell if you believe, as I do, that the reasons that Portuguese Judge, out of the blue, by refusing to order the McCanns to return to Portugal, did in effect remove all chances of the McCanns facing trial. Was I prophetic when I asked that question ? See this link (it is only a short article)

(BTW, those who say that they are fed up of the McCann case need not answer. ) Thanks.

I have yet to hear a logical explanation that the McCanns murdered their daughter.I know 80% of the time it is the parents but,I believe the McCanns are the other 20%.They took a huge risk leaving their children...Now they are paying for it.Dont forget,most of the group were leaving their kids too.
Some parents take risks and are lucky nothing goes wrong.The McCanns were not and they are paying for it in the worst possible way.The PJ trying to convince us of the McCanns guilt has made me more convinced of their innocence.Let's not forget,right from the start,it was the McCanns who said not enough was being done.That speaks volumes alone.At the end of the day,Madeleine is/has suffered and so are the parents.They get my full support every step of the way.
That is my opinion,you dont have to agree,I'm just telling you anyway.

Or could it have been a friend, family or one of their great followers who are certain they are innocent?

I read the story on foxnews, then I looked for it on abcnews, cbsnews, and msnbc. It's only on foxnews. Why don't abc, cbs, or nbc carry it? Is it because it's good news from the war in Iraq? Look for yourself before saying something stupid.

Here is is on foxnews:

If you knew someone had left their children alone..

Report them? Or Turn a blind eye?

If you turned a blind eye would you feel responsible if something terrible happened as a consequence?

Devils advocates need not answer........
