Ohman, let me come up for air. I was sunk by that news. Slander. Yep, they're going after a top TV news presenter, Sandra Felgueiras, for allegedly implying Kate could have killed Madeline. Feigueiras denies it. Not only is that ridiculous, they've only heard about the newscast and are demanding transcripts. I'm looking at them as greedy, not grieving, parents.
Wait until they hear what was said on a show on Sic. I was just slipping into a needed nap and my telemobile, cellphone, whatever people call them, began beeping. I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping. The need for some zzzz's was over-powering. I woke a couple of hours later and struggled to read and understand the 'breaking news' text messages. I knew they had to do with the McCanns and something about an ex-cop and the Brits withholding the DNA from the Portuguese.
I could feel the excitement just from the words in CAPS and that it consisted of 3 linked messages. Her English, though many times better than my Portuguese, is sometimes difficult to decipher. We'd been talking about the McCanns the afternoon before, so she was all jazzed getting this news to me. I saw her later and we stood on a corner and I began to drill her about the messages and what exactly did she mean. Ah, it was a an ex-PJ (Judiciary Police) who went OFF on the McCanns and Brits on a segment of "Fatima Lopes" and and that he was a presenter on “Casos de Polícia�?". Yikes. I knew of neither. I also heard, long before her, that the kids were sedated at night. The twins didn't wake even when the room was full of hysterical people and that makes me wonder if there's any truth to it. Gut says yes.
Remember, this is far from being accurate or proven, it's just what I was told and things I've thought. She went on that the ex-PJ, Mavio Flores, called the McCanns criminals, not victims and went on and on about the blood results being in both the rooms in the flat and the car and belonging to Madeleine and how the Brits wouldn't release them to the Ports. I wish I knew what was really said and most of all, why he said it. Has he snapped? I wouldn't blame him. This blasted case has made people taut and tense, it's really beginning to piss people off. Not Madeleine, they still hope and pray for her, but the parents are a different story.
I've never witnessed anything as chin-dropping, eyes-widening, groan-inducing as this case. I have never really seen either McCann actually grieve. I'm remembering my friend told me it was all about money and had been from the beginning and that the speed in which the fund was set up is suspicious. She also went on about government connections in the UK, going as far as Gordon Brown and that they're being given special treatment. Are they actually *looking* for Madeleine or using her to rake in the bucks and become rock stars. That was one thing mentioned during our discussion. Disgusted, I'm so disgusted at them, at this whole mess and my heart aches for Madeleine and the loss of her innocence, dead or alive.
So, they're going to sue. Good luck! People don't sue here for the reason that the red tape is all but impossible to untangle and if the case makes it to court, it could take eons to be heard, let alone settled. Slander? Why aren't they suing every newspaper that has ever printed anything about them they don't like. Why don't they sue me? I'm talking shit about them. They can go through a legal procedure to sue this chick in the time they should be spending, even if pretending, to look for their little girl? Unbelievable.
I have to stress I'm passing on things I heard. And they're as valid as any story going around about this. It's so shielded, so convoluted, wrapped in layers and shrouds of secrecy, getting to the real truth is proving to be harder than finding the Holy Grail or mopping up Jack or Jill's spilled water. It's said still waters run deep. Fathoming that, I begin to seriously wonder if this case has an end. That would be the biggest tragedy of all, the not knowing of what happened to Madeleine. She'd join the ranks of Jon Benét Ramsey.
I thought I was finished, but not after reading what I just did. I needed to be sure of the reporter's name and wound up on the Brit rag, Daily Mail. Wow. The headline, good lord, "113 day of lies and smears against the McCanns". It begins with the bit about the TV report and then other "lurid" things being said and they mentioned the guy my friend was going on about. Also, anyone who reads this regularly is aware I did a thing about the massive number of searches I have every day for "mccanns swingers". Check this out.: �?'Wife-swopping' holidays
According to a retired detective speaking on Portuguese television, Kate and Gerry McCann were 'swingers' who enjoyed wifeswopping with the friends they were on holiday with.
There was not the slightest evidence to support the claim, but the idea was picked up by Portuguese newspapers. She didn't tell me that and I've never read it in Port news. That's the Brits for ya. I wonder if there's more anywhere. I haven't checked Portuguese news yet. Nope, came up empty, just as I believed I would.
Time to bail. I had to get this out of my head or it would start leaking and the wandering words would have me herding them all day. That's all she rote. (Nope, not a typo). Thanks to "Belly" for the music, wrapping this with "Every Word".
Anybody else fed up with the whole thing? Can somebody remind the Mccanns it's about their daughter, and not about them --news comment
