Incredibly Unreliable

The Cult

Definition:

A cult of personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda or other methods, to create an idealized and heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Groups that have been characterized as cults are at high risk of becoming abusive to members. A cult is an ideological organization held together by charismatic relationships and demands total commitment. A cult is a group or movement exhibiting a great or excessive devotion or dedication to some person, idea or thing and employing unethically manipulative techniques of persuasion and control.

Here are a couple of entries from the facebook page of the Madeleine McCann cult:

I agree that anyone posting unhelpful comments should be watched

Others know what to do - not you and I.

I'm sure the Mccann's have followed up already.

This page is not for that. Please don't give your energy to it as it will be dealt with. Don't worry. Concentrate on the support element for the search for Madeleine.

Leave him. The McCann's knows what to do, I'm sure.

Who would you believe Guys? McCanns obviously.

I never doubted them for a second.

I feel i understand them after reading the book. My heart just goes out to them all.

Just one clue is all we need to bring the nations little princess home

Keep up the Support for Kate and Gerry

I believe that Jesus is looking over Madeleine and taking care of her and he will lead her home shortly

Concentrate on the support element for the search for Madeleine. Kate and Gerry have had a gutful of negatives, and on here we are positive for them.

I will try not to think about it, and keep praying for little madeleine

The day maddie walks back into your home very soon we all pray everybody should b given day of work 2 celebrate and party 2 this fab news beats any bank hpliday hands down

They should NEVER be kept in the dark again

We pray over her photo on my study wall

I was asked recently who inspires me and the first people who came to mind were Kate and Gerry McCann

Just by supporting on here you are doing a lot. Your prayers are what Madeleine, Kate and Gerry NEED

Im the forgiving type but I hope that all those who opposed you and tried to stand in your way feel the wrath of God. you are amazing. truly inspirational.Supporting you and behind you every step of the way.

If you really believe thay are no longer looking you are being deceived. You are listening to, and spreading lies.

Will be promoting the book at school today. In a gentle way.

so I just declare Madeleine found and returned safely to her family now in Jesus Name.... I demand an end to this anguish and suffering..... devil you leave this family alone and give them back their daughter now in Jesus Name!!

I come against every negative report and word spoken out against Madeleine and the McCann Family and I break them in Jesus Name.

For Kate and Gerry. You have written a book which, in itself, is a work of Art. What it contains is your whole sacrifice for your missing and longed-for daughter. I am so inspired by you two.

And these are the words spoken by the two child neglecting prophets directly from Rothley Mountain, read and weep in the face of utter wisdom and suffering:

Wanted to let you all know we are in the process of updating our luggage tags. The updated tags should be on our Web site by the end of the week. We hope you will use these tags when you go on holiday. Thank you for continuing to keep Madeleine's profile high. ♥

Purely charitable!

Brian Kennedy, multimillionaire benefactor, visited the Portuguese Police in a completely innocent and purely charitable matter to deliver a little book in the company of Antonio Jimenez and Francisco Marco from Metodo 3:

On the 19th of October, we were contacted by the Commissary General, located in Madrid, by the Chief of the Kidnapping Unit, Alberto Carbas, who passed to us the information that the McCann family had contracted a Spanish company known as 'METODO 3', composed of Spanish private detectives. This business, or in other words, the costs of the activities of this business were being covered by a Scottish multi-millionaire whose name is BRIAN KENNEDY and whose objective was to locate the British minor.

With this information, we were asked if we were available and interested in meeting with a representative of this Spanish business, and also with the Commissary General and Chief of the Kidnapping Unit of the Police of our neighbouring country, whose operation is in Madrid.

The meeting had as its objective to receive on behalf of the private detectives, from that moment and for their own wishes, relevant information with the aim to ascertain the truth, and to state that they would not interfere in police work, and at most they would serve as a complement to some useful information. They firmly state that they are not working directly for the McCann family, but for Brian Kennedy and that their sole purpose is to locate the missing child, or to gather the inescapable truth of what happened.
They did not ask for any information regarding the investigation, nor was any offered to them, for obvious reasons as this is found incorporated in the Portuguese penal process.

On the 13th of the current year, in the presence of the signatory and inspectors Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Paiva, a meeting was held, in this department, with Brian Kennedy, the director of the detective company, Francisco Marco (the chap who promised us Maddie on Christmas but never said which year) and an advisor of this same company, Antonio Jimenez, ex-chief of the Kidnapping Unit of Catalan. From the beginning, Brian Kennedy was questioned, and ascertained that the meeting only had this scope--of transmitting that his objective in all of this was purely charitable in that he is interested [in helping to stop] the bad treatment of minors and in missing children. He affirmed that he only was interested in discovering the truth and nothing more even if the McCann family, the friends, or any other person is found to be involved in the disappearance.

During the course of this meeting, the director of METODO 3 gave us a small book (attached), with information relative to the disappearance of the minor. This information, as we were told, was received via telephone and that they had already opened a line in Spain, specifically to receive and deal with information.

In this book, written in Spanish, we can analyse three pieces of information:

1. In the first case, we observed that there was report of facts which occurred in August/September of 2006, and which appears to us somewhat extemporaneous, as it cannot now be related to the material under investigation. (charitable to Robert Murat)
2. In the second point, we should remember that the computers of Sergey Malinka were searched and that nothing of suspicion was found there or related to paedophilia. (charitable to Sergej Malinka)
3. In that which concerns the third point, we are currently carrying out diligences with the intent to confirm or disprove the related information.(charitable to Michaela Walczuch)

The equally charitable Mr. Jimenez accompanying him and leading the hunt for Madeleine in Morocco:

A private detective linked to the agency hunting for Madeleine McCann has been arrested on suspicion of helping a gang smuggle £25million worth of cocaine.

Retired police officer Antonio Jimenez, 53, was remanded in custody on Thursday by a judge investigating the loss of half a ton of cocaine from a container docked in Barcelona in 2005.

Jimenez was a business partner of Maria Fernandez Lado, 57, founder of Metodo 3, the agency charging £50,000 a month to search for Madeleine.

Paul Gordon, witness and former occupant of 5A:

I want to add that since January this year I have received numerous phone calls, messages and visits from the press regarding the collector of donations, which in turn put me in contact with other people such as Brian Kennedy, Kate and Gerry McCann. I feel that this is a constraint that makes it difficult to take the more correct decision.
I tried always to cooperate with the police in every way possible, telephoning them at the first available opportunity as soon as the news broke about the disappearance of Madeleine. There are certain times when I feel like a pawn in chess.

Stuart Prior from Leicester Police in an email to Ricardo Paiva:

What are you planning around Mr Kennedy or the private investigation firm....
......
.....
I will need to get back to the McCanns as he asked to be updated, how would Paolo want this conducting and what information am to provide them They are very excited about this potential lead.

Witness Mr. Smith, the man who is pretty sure he saw Gerry carrying his daughter on the night of her disappearance:

He has been contacted by numerous tabloid press looking for stories. He has been contacted by Mr Brian Kennedy who is supporting the McCann family to take part in a photo fit exercise. He has given no stories or helped in any photo fits. He sent a solicitor's letter to six papers in relation material that was printed that was misquoted. The Evening Herald paid his solicitor's fees and all papers printed an apology. His photograph appeared in another tabloid paper and this matter is being pursued at the moment.

Gail Cooper, a "witness" and creator of Cooperman:

She mentioned a man called Brian Kennedy who was working for the McCanns. (*g*) He had sent an artist down to do a sketch of the man she saw at the villa.

Brian Kennedy visited witness and arguido Robert Murat at home:

Last night, it was revealed the McCanns' financial backer, tycoon Brian Kennedy, had met Robert Murat, the first suspect in the case. The meeting took place at Mr Murat's aunt's house in the Algarve last year. Mr Murat's lawyer, Francisco Pagarete, said: 'We had a very pleasant dinner with Mr Kennedy. "He came here to give his support to Robert and to say he doesn't believe Robert was involved in this story in any way. "And he asked if Robert could help the investigation for the finding of Madeleine." It is understood the meeting in November was also attended by Mr Kennedy's lawyer, Edward Smethurst, who is co-ordinating the McCanns' legal affairs.

Now let's see how Carter-Ruck will make the truth disappear. Greetings to Hardlinemarxist.

Little victories

Last year I complained to the BBC about the appalling distortion of Goncalo Amarals words in front of the Lisbon court claiming he had said "Fuck the McCanns" while he clearly said in portuguese "Ask the McCanns". This is an excerpt of my complaint:

Although Mr. Amaral refuted the allegations, saying he replied
to your reporter: "Fala com os McCann" which means talk to the McCanns,
you insisted without apology on your beeped interpretation by a reporter who
clearly has not got a word of portuguese. Mr. Amaral does not speak
english and you clearly biased your report (and what a coincidence that
it should have been EAST MIDLANDS) in favour of the McCanns.
At least you should publish the un-beeped version to proof your point.

This was the response I got at that time:

Dear M* *******  Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'East Midlands Today'.

On Tuesday 12 January 2010, BBC 'East Midlands Today' reported former Portuguese
police detective Gonçalo Amaral's comment in response to correspondent Mike
O'Sullivan's question: "Is your book hurting the McCanns".

We believe that we accurately reported his response but having been made aware
of claims that a mistranslation occurred, 'East Midlands Today' asked Mr Amaral
personally to clarify his comment thus covering all sides of this issue and
affording Mr Amaral a full right of reply.

On the programme on Thursday 14 January, correspondent Mike Sullivan in Lisbon
explained that Mr Amaral's lawyer was reportedly denying the four-letter
outburst. To attempt to fully clarify matters, Mr Amaral himself was also asked
directly about the matter and claimed that he had not talked to our reporter,
that he had said "nothing", and also claimed not to know what was being talked
about.

Essentially this is a judgement call rather than an exact science but 'East
Midlands Today' does appreciate the feedback. As we've been made aware that a
complaint surrounding this matter has been lodged with regulator Ofcom, we are
unable to provide any further comment but thank you for your own personal views
on the matter which have been formally noted and logged by the BBC.

Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.

Only today have I got notice from NP1 about the final ECU Ruling from 30th May:

ECU Ruling: East Midlands Today, BBC1 (East Midlands), 12 January 2011

Publication date: 30 May 2011

Complaint
The programme included a brief exchange between a reporter and Gonçalo Amaral (a former policeman who had worked on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann and had since written a book on the case). One word in the exchange was bleeped, and the report gave the impression that this was because Sr Amaral had used offensive language about the MrCanns. A viewer complained that this was inaccurate and unfair to Sr Amaral.

Outcome
The reporter's belief, reinforced by others on the programme team who viewed the recording, was that Sr Amaral had indeed used an English phrase which included an offensive term applied to the McCanns. On further examination, however, it became clear that Sr Amaral had been speaking Portuguese, and that an inoffensive phrase had been misconstrued. Upheld

Further action
The Editor of the programme has discussed the outcome with the producer and reporter involved. In future, the team plans to use interpreters if clips from interviews are unclear.

Little victories like these are soulsoothers.

------------------------------------

Edited to add:
It should be noted that the scene in front of Lisbon Court was broadcastet by the McCann's local BBC station one day after Gerry McCann had prematurely returned from Lisbon after some tough questions from one portuguese reporter in front of the court.

To further show the bias of the british media it should be noted that Kate calling a portuguese officer a "fucking tosser" has never reached the headlines.
