The Madeleine McCann case… yet another update!

May 21, 2009 By: fotdmike Category: Censorship, Computers Internet & Stuff, Politics, Press Bias

Following on from my last post, in the most recent article I’d published re this matter I’d made a jesting remark about being in danger of exceeding my bandwidth due to the number of visitors.

Er… no longer is that a jest. That’s exactly what’s happened. Wow!

Consequently, and just for the time being, the two articles have been mirrored elsewhere… the first one is here, and the second (and most recent) here. Only snag is, whilst they’re at their temporary home the links cross-referencing the articles won’t work… but all the external links should still be fine.

And if anyone wants to contact me about either of the articles during this temporary relocation period, use this form.

Should be back to normal come the beginning of next month. Hopefully!

The Madeleine McCann case… an update

May 20, 2009 By: fotdmike Category: Conspiracies, Politics, Press Bias

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. ;)

More about Madeleine…

May 13, 2009 By: fotdmike Category: Conspiracies, Politics, Press Bias

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.
