yet another blog

Important Update 21.05.09: See this post

Following my recent coupla posts on the Madeleine McCann case (the little girl that “disappeared” in Portugal back in ‘07), I was quite gratified by the positive responses I received to my first article that detailed my initial foray into the affair.

And boy, what an eye-opener that was! Far, far more to it that I’d thought.

I could have just left it there, but I’m afraid I was “hooked”. Just had to do a bit more thinking about it, and a bit more digging. Plus, quite a few of those aforementioned positive responses indicated to me that some people might just be a tad interested in what else I had to say about it.

Well folks, here it is! The second instalment, and almost equally as long as the first. But don’t anyone hold their breathe waiting for the third cos the plan of action I’ve now set myself looks like it might be quite a long drawn-out one.

A word of warning though… if you haven’t read the first then I’d suggest you do so before reading the second.

Following on from my immediately preceding post…

Having watched that video I’d determined to do a bit more reading up on the Madeleine McCann case cos I was woefully ignorant of the details.

Well, not long into that endeavour I began to realise the whole thing was far too involved and serpentine to acquire a comprehensive overview in anything like a couple of days. I also realised, given the profusion of material that appears to be available, that before I’d reached the end of it all I’d run the very real risk of being sucked in to one or the other of the various theories that seem to be bouncing around without having paused for some critical and analytical thought on my own part.

So I decided it’d be quite a good idea to knock out a few notes of my own, listing my “first impressions” sort of thing. It’d also help to provide me with some sort of plan to work to should I decide (as seems increasingly likely) that I wanted to dig even deeper into the morass. And it was in the back of my mind to post those notes here, for the benefit of anyone who happens to chance by.

Well, I’ve done ‘em!

Thing is though, I found myself rambling on a bit and ended up with something a bit too long really for a normal blog post. So I’ve bunged it in my online doc archive here for anyone that’s interested.

So who remembers Madeleine McCann? That pretty little girl that went “missing” in Portugal a couple of years ago. Almost to this day in fact. 3rd May 2007 I do believe. The disappearance that has still not, so far, been solved.

Well, I’ve just come across this (rather long) video on the site of Anna Raccoon…

And according to Anna Raccoon its a video that was “censored in the UK – the documentary made by the policeman in charge of the McCann investigation”!

Also see this and this.

Update 12 May 2009:

Intriguingly the video that was originally embedded in this post has now been removed from blip.tv! So I’m trying to track down an alternative online source. Meanwhile, if anyone’s really interested I do happen to have an archived copy of the file.

Update 13 May 2009:

Re the missing video, as far as I can determine its still accessible at Joana Morais’ blog, so check it out now before it disappears from there too! Meanwhile I’m still trying to find an active link that I can embed here.

Update #2 13 May 2009:

Aha… I appear to have located another copy of the video, now embedded!

Watch the video clip first!…

UK Muslim 7/7 London Bombings survey 06.04.2007 – FAIR USE

I susoect the results of the poll reported in the clip in fact understate the case. It may well be that a significant number of those surveyed were unwilling to state their true views for fear of reprisals or whatever.

I have worked closely with Muslims for over 16 years now and can state quite categorically that the vast majority of those with whom I work and share friendship simply don’t accept the official version of 7/7. And these are not terrorists, or extremists, or fundamentalists… simply ordinary folk just trying to live their lives  and provide for their families without interference.

And I, as a non-Muslim, find mysef agreeing with them. Far too many anomalies about the entire 7/7 episode to warrant unquestioning acceptance of the official version.

And when this is put in context of the deceptions that were practised on the British public by the government and the media in the lead-up to the Iraq war, is it any wonder that whatever explanations they produce will lack credibility?
