Bumping.

Here's a better one without the subtitles and with an English voice over:

That video above has been viewed 34 times since I posted in half an hour or so ago.... I only know as I still left the tab open and just refreshed it.

(I'm not doing a TB and tallying it all up and breaking it down how many per min and all that carry on)

It'll be interesting to see how the viewing figures will skyrocket forthwith now that the press are very kindly guiding folk towards it....

99,779 views so far.

Will have a look again in a few days.

Not sure if this has been posted before. I'd not seen it. It is from The Truth of the Lie. Thanks to a post on Hideho's FB group.

THE TRUTH OF THE LIE

WHO DELIBERATELY UNEARTHED A VIDEO FROM BEFORE MADELEINE'S DISAPPEARANCE TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE SHE WAS STILL ALIVE !

Two pieces of information reach us, which we interpret as diversionary tactics with the obvious purpose of diverting suspicion from the McCanns. The first concerns the couple's active involvement in a campaign to set up an international alert system for missing children. The Policia Judiciaria is approached indirectly through the Department of Criminal Investigation in Portimão and the Directorate in Faro to participate and support the launch of the campaign. We tell the messenger that we are not the appropriate recipients of this enquiry, that the request should be sent to a higher authority, the National Director of the PJ or the Portuguese government.

The second piece of information comes to us from further afield: Beirut, capital of The Lebanon. Imagine this: an Arab shiekh possessed a video of an orgy by other shiekhs on which Madeleine was allegedly recognisable. He would be prepared to hand over this recording to the British Ambassador in exchange for a sum of money to be sent to his lawyer. Once again, we are stupified.

- Can you believe it? A sheikh ready to denounce his mates for a few sous...Arab royalty is so strapped for cash?

- I don't understand: haven't all of our English colleagues who have been working with us already concluded that Madeleine may have died in the apartment?

- What more does Stuart need?

- I don't know what he needs. In any case, it was him who told us he had arrested people in England for a lot less.

After the interrogations, I had the opportunity to ask an English colleague about the outcome of the story. Did that video exist? What was on it? He responded that it had come to him in February or March 2007, well before Madeleine's disappearance...It would be interesting to know who, deliberately and with the sole object of scuppering the investigation, went and unearthed a video from before Madeleine's disappearance, to make people believe she was still alive...


My bolding. That line particularly stands out for me and backs up a conversation I had last year with a retired Leics police officer. He didn't work the case but had colleagues who had.

I don't know if I'm reading this wrong in some way but I find this section strange. If the the video was sent in Feb or March is that why a CEOP page was on the Wayback machine. I don't want to go into the Wayback again but I'm not getting what he is really saying plus I don't recall reading this in the book.

I can't remember reading that either!

I've got the book up to search DDL on my iPad. I don't fancy reading it all again at the moment I'm knacked But will see if there's a way to do a word search.

No worries Mo, if I get a chance I'll check too.

I'm sure I've heard of this more recently but at the moment this is all I can find.

I've had a look thru chapter 16 and 17 and there's no sign of it, unless somebody else can spot it. Having read some of the comments on that thread you posted Freedom it seems there was a little girl in the video but it wasn't Madeleine. Interesting to see Kiko was posting then. Still not found it in the book.

I've brought the last few posts here from the general books topic.

I've skimmed through Chapters 16 and 17 on AnnaEsse's translation and I'm virtually sure there is nothing about this there.

That is very strange. I don't have the book myself but did read a friend's copy some time ago. I can't recall that particular passage but that means nothing. You read so much you forget what you saw sometimes.
I will try to see if there are any other instances of it coming up anywhere.

Been reading AnnaAndresse's translation of GA's book and there is nothing about a sheikh. I did find something else interesting though that I had forgotten about and don't remember being discussed.

From Ch6.

Then the two police officers arrive who are assigned to psychological support and communication with the family. Little by little, the number of English police officers grows exponentially. We place at their disposal a room next to our crisis unit, Task Portugal. These are specialists from various police services, including Scotland Yard. Special surveillance teams as well as information and telecommunications technicians turn up with their laptops and various high-tech equipment. Others will come to join us, notably profilers: they will develop a profile of the alleged abductor from which a number of possible scenarios will be constructed. The analysts trace time-lines and patterns of connections based on the witness statements gathered. They produce giant summary boards that cover the walls of the offices. They attend all our meetings and collaborate in decision-making. They are the intermediary through which requests for information are sent to Great Britain, and it is they who receive the responses and enquiries.

On May 14th, Kate Healy is indignant about the attitude of the liaison officer, who asks her where her daughter is. Neither she nor her husband accepts anyone doubting their word. The officer will be sent packing - and his colleague too - a week after his arrival. That attitude is, to say the least, shocking on the part of parents confronted by such a situation, that, what is more, is in a foreign country. Those two police officers, who distinguished themselves through long experience in the management of situations of kidnap and abduction, had been, all the same, entirely at their disposal; they provided daily logistical and legal support, and afforded them all the help they could have needed. 

Curiously, the English do not consider it expedient to disclose the incident and the PJ are not informed. Myself, I only learn of it indirectly. Finally, a solution is found quickly: the two men are replaced by a Portuguese man who speaks fluent English.

During this time, the Leicestershire police continue to receive a considerable number of enquiries that they have trouble sorting and analysing. On May 15th, inspector Ricardo Paiva is sent as reinforcement to the English, who, he says, welcome him warmly and feed him on tea and cakes. Most of the bits of information received from all over the world are of no interest; so, there is no reason for follow-up. People allegedly recognise Madeleine or claim to know exactly where she is; seers, clairvoyants send very confused messages to the police, some well-intentioned, others less so... Rapidly, the sophisticated computer system for managing calls is overloaded. So much effort and so much money spent financing the appeals in the press for witnesses leaves us wondering; we are not convinced of the expediency of this method that consists of requesting help from the population to resolve a case. 

On Tuesday June 12th, Bob Small and Chris Eyre, head of the Leicestershire area police, go to Faro for a meeting, which Guilhermino Encarnacão, Luis Neves and myself also attend. We need to make a point about cooperation between police forces and set out the latest requirements. Everything seems to go well. We are aware of the incident between Kate and the liaison officers, but it is not brought up. We have the impression that the politically correct hypothesis of abduction is still favoured, but that other possibilities are not being ruled out. 

As time went by, we noticed that a certain number of the police officers sent to Portugal were poorly informed about the progress of the investigation. One of them who - like the majority - was coming to Portugal for the first time, was wearing a green and yellow rubber wrist band, bought for £2, which he played with nervously. The inscription read, "Look for Madeleine." Some of his colleagues told him that he would soon get rid of it. As a matter of fact, he took it off as soon as he got properly into the investigation and he had learned about the evidence placing doubt on the theory of abduction. 

It`s chapter 18

Well done Mimi.

I'm going to read the book again, what you have posted is most interesting. Fancy police from the UK turning up with wrist bands on I can't ruddy believe it.  This just shows what a massive cover up this all is on a grand scale I would say. Sadly we will never ever know the truth. How devious the UK police have been towards the PJ - I'm just glad GA won his appeal. As far as I'm concerned the Mccs backs are well covered forever. I bet the UK police told GM to do all the talking and told him to tell his mates to keep their traps shut. DP with his 'we have a pact of silence' and then in that interview when it was nearly over something about not saying something in that interview.


Sorry for the rant

I wonder which officers Kate had sent packing. According to Anne Gueddes these are the officers in PDL early doors.

On the 5th of May there were 6 PO from the LC present in PDL : the inspectors Caroline Burrows, Eleanor Johnson, Michael Graham, Neil Holden, Jim Mc Garvey and Stephen Markley.

Statement by: Stephen Markley

Occupation: Police Officer

This statement (composed of 2 pages and signed by me) is true and in accordance with my understanding. 

Date: 25th April 2008
Signature____________________________________________________


I am police officer Markley of the Leicestershire Police currently working in the criminal unit.

In 2007 and in relation to the Portuguese investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, I was detached to Portugal in the role of family communication officer.
According to the Portuguese PJ Letter of Request, I was asked to respond to the following question:

Was there anything done or said by Kate or Gerry McCann in your presence or during your various meetings that could raise any suspicion that they had any knowledge about what could have happened to Madeleine, beyond the circumstances described to the Portuguese investigators?

My reply to the question was: No.

However, in relation to the above, I would like to add the following: At about 20.00 on Saturday 5th May 2007, I arrived at the apartment where Kate and Gerry were staying, with other officers. During the meeting Gerald and Kate had a number of questions to which they wanted follow up and responses from the PJ.

One of these questions was that they wanted the PJ to be aware of was Madeleine's revelation about Wednesday night, when she said that she was left alone during the night. She told Kate and Gerry that she remembered the twins crying and that she wanted to know why neither her mother nor her father had gone to the room to see what was happening.

They also wanted to know whether the PJ had any evidence that would suggest that the person who took Madeleine had used any substance to facilitate the abduction.

Statement by Jim McGarvey

This statement consisting of two pages is true and consistent with my understanding.

Date: 25th April 2008

I am police Inspector McGarvey of the Leicestershire police force, currently based in the criminal unit.

In 2007 and in relation to the Portuguese investigation carried out into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, I was detached to Portugal in the role of communication officer for the family. 
In accordance with the Portuguese PJ Letter of Request I was asked to respond to the following question:

Was there anything done or said by Kate or Gerry McCann in your presence or during various contacts that could raise any suspicion that they could have had any knowledge of what could have happened to Madeleine, beyond the circumstances described to the Portuguese investigators.

My reply to the question: No.

In relation to the above I would like to mention that at approximately 20.00 on the 5th May, I arrived at the McCann apartment with other family communications officers. We were asked several times during this meeting about questions that Gerald and Kate would like to have followed up and responded to by the PJ.

I remember that during the meetings, Kate revealed that Madeleine had spoken with her in the morning of her disappearance and said that she remembered the twins had cried during the night and that she wanted to know why neither her mother or father had appeared. Kate asked herself whether this fact could have any relation with Madeleine’s disappearance. 

Gerry and Kate also questioned whether there was any suggestion that pointed to the use of drugs to facilitate Madeleine's abduction.

This statement was made by me and is truthful in accordance with my knowledge.
