BRITISH PRESS SET OUT TO SYSTEMATICALLY DESTROY THE PARENTS OF MADELEINE MCCANN.
This development did not receive much coverage. There were three sentences in the Sun on page 21, for example, and just a little more in the Daily Mirror on page 20. In the Daily Express itself you might easily have failed to spot the apology that was part of the settlement, as the two paragraphs in the top corner of page five were a little lost beside the bold headline blaring out across the rest of the spread: "Let the jobless lag lofts, says Brown". The Tapas Seven victory, it seems, was treated as a minor footnote to a burned-out story; few people were likely to be interested.
Well, they ought to be interested, because the McCann case was the greatest scandal in our news media in at least a decade - an outrage far worse than the Andrew Gilligan "sexed-up dossier" affair of 2003 - and those responsible are now slinking away almost unpunished. They are escaping, moreover, by the most shameful of means. The editors and proprietors of the papers responsible for the great balloon of speculative nonsense that was the McCann story had the power to kill off discussion of what went wrong in the press, and they used it. When their balloon burst, they simply began pretending it had never existed.
Not one editor and, so far as I know, not one reporter has lost his or her job or even faced formal reprimand as a result of the McCann coverage. There has been no serious inquest in the industry and no organised attempt to establish what went wrong, while no measures have been taken to prevent a repetition. Where there have been consequences, as with the Tapas Seven, they have come from outside and been reported to the public with the most grudging economy.
This is a remarkable evasion of responsibility by an industry which is the first to boast of its own importance to a healthy democracy, and it is all the more unpalatable when you consider the standards this same industry expects of others.

I AM A RABBIT, I AM A RABBIT
This is the Gonçalinho Law. This is the litmus test to say who would be the best cop on the planet. The finalists were the FBI, Scotland Yard and the Portuguese Judicial Police. The test consisted of the following: a rabbit would be released in the forest. Each police force, employing their best methods and personnel, would have to strategise and bringing it back. Whoever did it in the shortest time would be the winner.
The rabbit was released. The FBI was called to try first. Using satellite photos, review of X of the place, a gigantic siege fell upon the forest, with ten helicopters and one hundred agents armed with cruise missiles, the rabbit was caught in 16 hours and 14 minutes. The rabbit was released again and Scotland Yard was called this time. Using analysts of behavior, psychologists, plus a battalion anti-terrorist bombs with night vision goggles, armed with a snare, a decoy rabbit using a false Irish passport and carrot with a narcotic, they captured the rabbit in 14 hours, which attracted reactions of astonishment.
Once again the rabbit was released and the last show was conducted by the valuable Portuguese Judicial Police Service. They departed in the Renault 19, model 1986, laden down with beer and bagels for the journey. The vehicle was covered in sludge and dried mud, had 4 bald tyres and a piece of wire to tie the boot (the closing of the bonnet failed in 1989), with 3 players with more than half a body hanging out of the windows, knocking on trees, and stapling questionnaires containing 600 multiple choice questions with 38 revolvers in one hand and satellite images of Sagres on the other, at high speed, within the forest. They returned triumpant in 20 minutes, leaving the judges, the FBI and Scotland Yard outraged. The Officers opened the door of the heap and there was a porcupine, shivering, full of bruises, and battered, which screamed: "I AM A RABBIT! I AM A RABBIT.

BRITISH POLICE RELEASE MADELEINE MCCANN FILES
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jul/07/madeleinemccann
Madeleine McCann's parents today withdrew their high court request for British police to release documents about the investigation into her disappearance.
The legal challenge was withdrawn after a hearing in which Leicestershire police said they would share 81 pieces of information with Kate and Gerry McCann relating to calls received from the public shortly after Madeleine disappeared on May 3 last year.
The McCanns' spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, described the decision by Leicestershire police to pass the information to Madeleine's parents as "very good news for the investigation". "Each of these is important information. We have potentially 81 new leads," he said.
Mitchell did not give details about the information being released, but said he hoped more would be forthcoming.
"The critical thing is that this is early information and potentially strong information," he said.
During today's hearing, the presiding judge made an usual appeal for the child's abductor to come forward. Mrs Justice Hogg said she believed "at least one person knows what has happened to Madeleine" and urged that person to contact the police.
"I ponder about that person: whether that person has a heart and can understand what it must be like for Madeleine to have been torn and secreted from her parents and siblings whom she loves and felt secure with, and whom she no doubt misses and grieves for," she said.
"I entreat that person, whoever and wherever you may be, to show mercy and compassion and come forward now to tell us where Madeleine is to be found."
Hogg praised the police in the UK, Portugal and elsewhere for their efforts in trying to find Madeleine and added that she would remain a ward of court until a further order.
The McCanns, both 40, were not at the hearing. Mitchell thanked Hogg on their behalf for pointing out that there was no evidence that Madeleine had been harmed or was dead. He said 11,000 pieces of information were being held as part of the investigation and just one could provide the clue to her whereabouts.
Madeleine, then three, vanished from the family's holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz while her parents were having dinner in a restaurant nearby. Last week it emerged that Portuguese police had handed their file to prosecutors recommending that the case against the McCanns be dropped due to lack of evidence.

JUDGE'S PLEA TO KIDNAPPER OF MADELEINE MCCANN
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/madeleinemccann/2262506/Madeleine-McCann-Judge
I know the police authorities and other official law enforcement agencies in this country, in Portugal and elsewhere have striven and will continue to strive to trace Madeleine.
"I urge anyone who has any information however small or tenuous to come forward now so that further inquiries can be made.
"There is, of course, at least one person who knows what has happened to Madeleine, and where she may be found.
"I ponder about that person: whether that person has a heart and can understand what it must be like for Madeleine to have been torn and secreted from her parents and siblings whom she loves and felt secure with, and whom she no doubt misses and grieves for.
"Whether that person has a conscience or any feeling of guilt, remorse or even cares about the hurt which has been caused to an innocent little girl: whether that person has a faith and belief, and what explanation or justification that person will give to God.
"I entreat that person, whoever and wherever you may be, to show mercy and compassion and come forward now to tell us where Madeleine is to be found.
"I hope and pray that Madeleine will be found very soon alive and well."
The judge added that Madeleine would remain a ward of court until further order.

DNA EVIDENCE AND GERRY MCCANN'S BLOG
http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/DAYS_1_to_50.htm
GERRY MCCANN’S BLOG
Day 23 -26/05/2007 - SaturdayYesterday was relatively quiet although we did meet the British ambassador and the senior British Police Officer who has been working here in Portugal on the case. This was a productive meeting. There was a flurry of activity amongst the media here stating the family was openly critical of the Portuguese policed, which was not true. We did our best to dampen this down but a couple of papers carried stories with our ‘frustration’ with the investigation rather than what we said it was frustrating that 3 weeks down the line we still have not got Madeleine back. This would be the case whichever country we were in. Some of you may have noticed that Sean and Amelie did manage to squeeze in a hair cut!

“The mere detail of the hair found in the suitcase (boot) had not root, where the nucleus of the cell, makes all the difference.”
____________________________________
The Portuguese Police only needed to cross-reference with Gerry’s blog where he says the twins had a haircut! How difficult would that be, considering it was in the public domain. Yes, CUT hairs can be explained. The initial results must have returned this result. Hence, Ribeiro’s comment: “please exercise extreme caution with regards to the resulting DNA. It is not as straightforward as we had initially assumed.”
I bet the Daily Express had read Gerry’s blog before the Portuguese Police. You don’t settle out of court unless you know something that the rest of the world does not.

ADN de Kate trama PJ DNA from Kate weft PJ A existência de cabelos de Madeleine na mala do carro alugado pelos pais três semanas depois do crime, junto ao pneu suplente, é considerada pela PJ altamente provável. The existence of hair-Madeleine in the suitcase car rented by their parents three weeks after the crime, with the alternate tire is considered by PJ highly likely. Mas a investigação não foi capaz de provar que aqueles vestígios são da criança: os cabelos não têm raiz, apurou o CM, eo relatório final do laboratório de Birmingham – pelos testes de ADN via análise mitocondrial – só garante que esteve na mala do carro alguém da linhagem de Kate.
But the investigation was unable to prove that they are traces of the child: the lack root hairs, found the CM, and the final report of the laboratory in Birmingham - the tests on mitochondrial DNA analysis path - only guarantees that in the car there was someone of the lineage of Kate.
CONTINUATION OF DNA REPORT
A Renault Scénic, recorde-se, só foi alugada pelos McCann três semanas depois do desaparecimento da filha mais velha. Renault Scénic, it is recalled, was hired by McCann three weeks after the disappearance of the eldest daughter. Logo, qualquer vestígio que provasse a sua presença na carrinha ligava os pais ao crime.
Therefore, any trace that prove its presence in the truck linking parents to crime.
O simples pormenor de os cabelos encontrados na mala não terem raiz, onde se encontra o núcleo da célula, faz toda a diferença.
The mere detail of the hair found in the suitcase (boot) had not root, where the nucleus of the cell, makes all the difference.
Porque se tivessem, "a análise nuclear em qualquer laboratório do Mundo daria 99,9 por cento de hipóteses de um cabelo pertencer a determinada pessoa", adianta um especialista ao CM.
Because if they had, "the nuclear testing in any laboratory of the World would give 99.9 percent chance of hair belonging to a particular person," states an expert to BC.
Neste caso, de Maddie. In this case, Maddie. Os peritos viram-se assim obrigados a recorrer à análise mitocondrial, que apenas dá certezas de os cabelos pertencerem a uma linhagem materna: Kate ou um dos seus três filhos.
Experts have been thus forced to resort to mitochondrial analysis, which only gives certainty that the hair belonged to a maternal lineage: Kate or one of their three children.
O recurso da Judiciária à tecnologia do sofisticado laboratório de Birmingham só se ficou a dever às dimensões ínfimas das manchas nas paredes do apartamento do casal e na carrinha.
The use of sophisticated technology of the Judicial laboratory in Birmingham was slow because only very small dimensions of the spots on the walls of the couple's apartment and truck.

A TROUNCING FOR THE PJ AND AMARAL
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-482049/Madeleine-Hair-McCann-Renault-It-anyones.html
Hair found in the car hired by Madeleine McCann's parents cannot be matched to the missing four-year-old, it was revealed last night.
British forensic experts have concluded the fragments said to be Madeleine's could belong to any number of people who had come into contact with the silver Renault Scenic.
This demolishes earlier claims that the hairs would prove the McCanns had hidden Madeleine's body in the car after killing her in their holiday apartment.
The fragments found did not even allow the scientists to establish the sex or age of the individual.
Sources have told The Mail on Sunday that the hairs discovered in the vehicle hired by Kate and Gerry McCann after she disappeared were found in only very small quantities on the seats - and not in the boot as was previously reported.
Additionally no roots were found in the samples, which meant that experts at the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham were unable to test for a DNA match to any individuals.
"They were only asked to try to determine sex and age. It was simply not possible to determine whether the hairs belonged to Madeleine," said a source.
It has also been reported that police had found 'bodily fluids' - but not blood - in the car with an 88 per cent match to Madeleine's genetic profile.
That fuelled speculation that the little girl had been killed, possibly after being given an accidental overdose of sedatives, and her body hidden before being transported in the boot of the vehicle.
The McCanns hired the Renault from Budget 24 days after Maddie vanished on May 3.
Portuguese police have become suspicious about the number of miles on the car's mileometer.
In the seven days between May 27 - when the Renault Scenic was first rented in Portimao - and June 3 when the McCanns' first contract lapsed, the car travelled 450 miles.
The couple pointed out to investigators that the car did many runs to Faro airport, 55 miles away. They emphasised that they flew to Rome to meet the Pope on May 29, returning the next day, and that they then departed for Madrid on May 31.
They also told police that friends and family had access to the car while they were away - and that it was used to ferry relatives to and from Faro.
But despite what the McCanns have presented as an innocent explanation behind the distances, Portuguese police have asked Budget to provide all details of the vehicle's mileage.
The Mail on Sunday has learned that those records show that between June 3 and July 3, the car travelled a further 1,256 miles.
Further trips to airports in Lisbon and Faro to pick up relatives and deposit the McCanns for a trip to Germany have been presented as a justification for the high mileage.
However, according to a source, the police have not been satisfied with the explanations.

FLATLINE STATS AT 3A
HERE’S A REQUEST FROM A MEMBER OF 3A
The number of people logged on to the 3A's is quite a good indicator of the pace of this case - the more that's happening or at times of breaking news there are more logged on - which we can see at the bottom of the index page.Would it be possible to take this figure on a dynamic basis and chart it against a small timeline on the title bar so that anyone logging on can instantly see how many are on here?
There are supposedly 4,500 registered users. Every hour there are supposedly 500 users permanently logged into 3A. But the posting rate is about once every hour or so.
Look at the names at the bottom of the page who are permanently logged in. None of these names are posting messages.
Makes you wonder about statistics and lies, doesn't it?

FLAK ATTACK
Head Honcho at 3A has been forced to enrol a Flak Honcho whose sole purpose is to attract as much flak as possible in as short a time as possible. Since she has banned anybody with a differing view to her own, she’s noticed that there’s a distinct lack of debate. Said honourable flakker must don his flak jacket and tinfoil helmet, jump into his slurry-filled trench and pump out stacks of spurious flak, which will be graded on the scale of 1-10. A perfect 10 = perfect truth.
"But saying that I do notice as a member when threads are a bit hot or maybe close to the truth the OP's does tend to get the flack from certain quarters trying dishonour them and put them down. That means to me, perhaps they might be near the truth"

And now, a message from the hostmaster of this forum. I am doing everything I can to get this forum down.My time of glory is over. I could only get access to the server with basic skills while it was setup with outdated DOS commands, and time was on my sides. Now!" |

THE3ARGUIDO.NET LEAFLET CAMPAIGN
THE3ARGUIDOS.NET LEAFLET CAMPAIGN......CLICK FOR DOWNLOADS OR RUMMAGE THROUGH THE BIN ABOVE.
A mad axe murderer and his pervy mates in their ring of hate that is known as 3A have gathered in virtual space to exercise their right to synchronized wailing and have produced a leaflet that reflects their paranoid, psychotic, obsessive, judgmental opinions about a couple of named innocent citizens who have not been charged with any legal offence. In fact, the targets highlighted in the venomous flyer are, on a daily basis, repairing and improving the lives of a large proportion of the ailing population.
If the members wish to proceed with the leaflet, it has the Head Honcho’s, the Deputy Honcho’s, the sub-honcho’s, and the sub-sub-honcho’s permission to go ahead and print off these sheets of drivel, and to drop them at supermarkets, doctors’ surgeries, dentists, and to leave them on train and bus seats, so that the cleaning companies for said locations will include them in the day’s sweepings.
The Head Honchos say that they do not endorse the information contained in the defamatory leaflets because it is false and accusatory about another person who has been named and can be readily identified in real life. The Head Honchos are distancing themselves from the production of said material and have stated that they have only provided the platform for the topic to be discussed and have provided the links for downloading the leaflet. Head Honchos do not necessarily agree with the contents of said leaflet, despite the fact that the name of their organisation, the3arguidos, has been printed on the flyer. Head Honchos do not condone the violation of the litter laws, therefore members distribute the defamatory leaflets at their own risk of prosecution for littering a green and pleasant land.

LIFE WITH JORIS BOHNSON
LIFE WITH JORIS BOHNSON
He's one of those people who's so clever, he's actually crossed the line into stupid. He is educated but coated with a stupid veneer. When you bite into him there’s a lovely fruity soft centre. He can write good books in Greek, but he is completely socially INEPT. He speaks his mind with people who have allegedly discriminated against him by correctly assessing his genetic composition to be made up of a hotchpotch of European and Albinism.
His claim to Saving the Earth is that he rides a bike through London. Obviously, he enjoys dicing with death. I’ve tried cycling through London, but stopped when I used up 8 of my 9 lives. One of my lives expired from something that can only be seen with an electron microscope – I had been ingesting vast quantities of noxious traffic ozone. An environmental policy is about much more than “protecting green spaces”. It means taking hard measures to tackle motoring, to reduce emissions, to insulate buildings, to change our behaviour at every level. Yet for Joris, even the Kyoto Treaty was a step too far.
He has stripped to his underpants, ascended the highest diving board and plunged his whole being into the warp and weft of London. He has travelled, by chauffeured limo, from zones one to six and met thousands of plebs from all walks of life.
Sitting on a beach for a two week holiday produces a massively excogitated work. He doesn’t like discrimination in any form. A journalist called him a fat albino. "What’s wrong with the albino race?" he stutters, with a look of incredulity in his pale blue eyes. The life of an albino is cursed by candyfloss hair, a dodgy gait and bad eyesight, so bad in some, they can't drive a car. Their lives are blighted having to avoid the sun. Albinos have no skin pigment to protect them from the sun so they don't tan they only burn. Many have been picked on, beaten up, ostracised, and one even killed because of the hate and possibly fear of others. He knows firsthand about this because he is an albino.
He points to the bigoted British scientists who blame fat people for causing global warming, who have discovered they use up more fuel to transport them around and the amount of food they eat requires more energy to produce than that consumed by those on smaller diets. Well, we all have different metabolisms. I, myself, consume no more than 1,500 calories per day. I know of skinny people who eat 4,000 calories per day and stay skinny. The British Scientists have ignored the fat pet situation – what about the fat cats and dogs that live in many households? Are the British Scientists going to suggest a cull on people’s pets? I’m sure the Queen’s 20 or 30 corgis are in immediate danger.

JAILHEISTLAWYER
A SPECIAL GUEST POSTING FROM JAILHEISTLAWYER
When someone pulls my chain, something usually goes off. Last time it was the jam jar lids - gooseberry, damson, blackberry slimed all over the place, up to my elbows in the stuff, which attracted all the wasps and bees. Look at all my stings. I look like a pincushion. All the lids flew off in unison, out the kitchen window, plonk into the unknown abyss where I never venture for fear of something that has, as yet, to appear on my closed circuit television entry phone machine. I tell you, there’s a conspiracy amongst the poltergeists. They’ve got me targeted. And just look at all that shoite in the kitchen cupboards. I mean.. who uses the cupboard under the sink as their personal lavatory? Not me. I’m civilised and bald these days, but I cannot account for every nefarious action of my canine friend. I doubt that he would be capable of carrying out half the stuff that goes on in my house. I mean, the wallpaper, the lack of. Who gets up in the night and strips the wallpaper off the staircase wall? The cracks in this dimension are starting to show. Of course there’s a parallel universe, which runs alongside this one. I have absolute evidence. On ascending the stairs, I met myself going backwards downstairs. I wasn’t scared, just doffed my cap at him, but he totally ignored me. Well, what do you expect? Those in the other dimension are on a higher plane than us. They’ve never experienced the avarice, the delusions of grandeur, the various syndromes that we need to endure in order to say we have “lived” our lives to the full.

Tomorrow I will get onto ebay and buy a well-used weejee board and try to elicit some facts. Maybe I should invite Danie Krugel for tea to talk about woo-woo boxes and compare measurements. He may be able to shed some light around the gloom. Yes, he seems a nice chap who has spiffing facial fungus that I can only dream about, and it will make a nice change from hurling abuse at the old granny net curtain twitchers around here.
That's yer lot. Leave the cheque on the kitchen table. I’m off to grind and polish my axe ready for my new job as a monumental stonemason.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO BARONSTU.PID
The3arguidos site - Booze-crazed, hate-filled women posting the most vile and insane accusations imaginable to one another obsessively, page after page, for an entire weekend/week/year till their booze and drugs run out and wear off. What the fuck is that? It's the best of something (with wings), that's for damned sure.
................................................................................
BALD TONY (baronstu.pid) at the3arguidos.net
POUNCING, ANNOUNCING, FLOUNCING– THAT’S IT, I’M LEAVING
I don't really know why I post here, there and everywhere, except that some people (you know who you are) (quite a few actually) (I can't say how many but it's a pretty impressive exponential number) hang on my every word about almost nothing. I don't need this plethora of places. I'm better than this. I have another life. Other lives. Vague but very important other lives where great big shiny, spherical things are going on right this moment. I never really needed to be here anyway. I was on my way elsewhere but got bad directions and stopped here for something, a drink, food, what is it they serve? Oh yes, venom, arsenic and hemlock. Any way is better than this way. This place sucks so much more than it used to suck, which was a lot. I know I've said and done some crazy, crappy things in my time, but I think you'll agree that your crazy, crappy things were of a much lower quality than mine and completely unjustified (not that it matters and I hesitate to even mention it, but I do because I can't stop watching my words, MY WORDS, appear on this screen and I know perfectly well that you're reading them and that means I'm putting data right into your head and how cool is that, huh?). Better than subliminal messaging, better than talking to the crop circles, yes, oh yes.
That's it. It's been wonderful except the part where you all bleat and suck all the time, like the sheeples you are. Don't try to stop me from departing. I'm never coming back, Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, Arrivederci. Whether I grace you with my presence or not, I WILL ALWAYS DEMAND and REAP a festschrift of responses.
P.S.
Edited to excise all the expletives, which have been replaced by more apt descriptions.
