McCanns want to "sweep" their critics off the Internet O Crime (paper edition only)

Maddie's parents are getting ready to act judicially against internet sites that question their behaviour through comments and texts that they consider to be defaming

After the injunction that hit former Polícia Judiciária coordinator Gonçalo Amaral, preventing the book from being sold in Portugal and in England, Gerry and Kate McCann are now committed to making all the uncomfortable internet pages that concern the disappearance of their daughter, Madeleine McCann, disappear.

Through their lawyers, Adam Tudor and Stephen Loughrey, from the offices of Carter Ruck, one of the most influential (and expensive) in England, Maddie's parents want to discipline those who doubt their behaviour or suggest that they were somehow involved in their daughter’s destiny.

The famous law office that some months ago obtained hundreds of thousands of euro in compensation payments from some British media, for the McCanns and their friends who dined at the 'Tapas Bar' on the night that Maddie disappeared, has already taken a few measures in order to attack with the couple's new legal offensive.

As far as everything indicates, those responsible for internet pages and blogs that are openly unfavourable towards the McCanns have already received intimations from Carter Ruck, ordering them to cease their activity, under threat of lawsuits for defamation and calumny.

Test card…

One of the main (if not even "the" main) targets for Maddie's parents is the website that is owned by the Madeleine Foundation, headed by Anthony Bennett and Debbie Butler, who received, early this month, the letters from Tudor and Loughney, where they were asked to stop the foundation's online page's activity, as well as other demands made by Gerry and Kate.

But there is more: the heads of the foundation that was created with the purpose of combating child neglect, were demanded to hand over all existing copies of the book "What really happened to Madeleine McCann – 60 reasons that show that she was not abducted", which was published in late 2008.

Apart from this 'order', the former English member of parliament who leads the foundation also received notices to shut down the activity of the website that was created in November last year, as well as the order to deliver to Justice the remaining leaflets that contain a summary of the book, which volunteers at Bennett's service delivered into various English locations, including Rothley, the neighbourhood where the McCanns reside.

The former English member of parliament who heads the foundation also received intimations to delete all computer records, both of the book and of said leaflets, and to delete all allegedly offensive comments that exist on the webpage, and on interconnected forums or blogs, many of which are signed by Bennett himself.

But there is more…

Nevertheless, it is not only the Madeleine Foundation that is targeted by the McCanns' offensive. The crosshairs also focus on blogs, including the "Three arguidos", which is a forum that has been used for strong criticism of the behaviour of the English couple of doctors, since the night of the 3rd of May 2007.

Since they decided to stop giving interviews to the media, and discredited the action of the Portuguese police forces, the McCanns seem to have turned the search for their daughter into a struggle of their own, threatening to confront anyone who tries to contradict their position.

Over the last two years, since their daughter disappeared from apartment 5A at the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz, Lagos, Gerry and Kate have received unconditional support of some and severe criticism from others. After last year they secured a compensation payment of 700 thousand euro, which was obtained after they accused several newspapers in their country of defamation, and after six of the seven friends that accompanied them on their Portuguese holidays, under representation of the same law firm, also received compensation payments that neared 450 thousand euro, Gerry and Kate now threaten to go down the same route, with the internet as their target.

Crystal Night

Thanks to Joana Morais for translation

With amazement, I saw the statements of a representative of a couple whose daughter disappeared in the Algarve in May 2007. Standing on her tiptoes, covered by her blond hair, I heard: "We seized seven thousand books!".

Tragic news. To seize is even worse than to receive, conforming to the judicial decision. How does a lawyer agree with the apprehension of books? Didn't this lady say that she was just the trusted depositary and that the activity of seizing books is a thing of the past?

The PIDE (Police of Investigation and Defense of the State [Political Police under the Salazar's Regime]) were the ones that apprehended books, in addition to those that were only censored. At their free will. In the old regime that which was considered illegal was apprehended by those who held the power.

I am proud that during the period (more or less about 26 years), in which I worked for the Judiciary Police, of never having seized one book. Just and only that that was considered illegal under the law, nothing that was a result of a free will; a personal decision away from the tone of legality.

Distorting reality and 'tucking' in the old days, what is left is to see the distinguished representative dancing around the campfire. And it won't be on St.Anthony bonfires, we will be closer to the 'Crystal Night' or to other 'acts of faith' that served so well the obscurantism and intolerance.

THE DECISION TO ACCEDE TO CARTER-RUCK'S DEMANDS The Website Formerly Known as The Madeleine Foundation

By Tony Bennett
02 October 2009

Debbie and will explain this in full in due course.

Today began at 4.00 am for Debbie and 5.00 am for me as we had an appointment with Kirwans Solicitors, Liverpool at 11.00am.

The meeting was with Partners David Kirwan and Michael Sandys, Solicitor Julia Kirwan and Media Advisor Nick Mason and lasted four hours with three short interruptions.

Clear advice was given that because of the high degree of uncertainty in libel litigation, no guarantee could be given that if we defended a libel suit, we would win. It was emphasised in graphic terms by one of the Partners that on a worst-case scenario the outcome could mean complete financial ruin for both Debbie and myself, with all our savings raided and court orders made to recover the equity value each of us have in the homes we own. It was also emphasised that Carter-Ruck had immense resources both within their firm and beyond them, that they could sustain a case lasting many weeks, and that to defend the proceedings would require us to engage libel lawyers at huge fees which neither of us could remotely afford to pay.

We were further advised that correspondence between Kirwans Solicitors and Carter-Ruck on 24, 25 and 29 September and 1 October revealed a strong likelihood that Carter-Ruck had indeed already drafted a libel writ and would be ready to walk into the High Court on Monday (5th Oct) at 9.00am to issue a writ, unless we acceded to their demands in full by close of play on Friday (i.e. today).

Accordingly we telephoned Carter-Ruck at 3.14pm today and faxed them written notice of our accession to the McCanns' demands at 3.25pm. Attempts to speak to both Adam Tudor and Isabel Hudson, the two main Solicitors conducting the litigation for Carter-Ruck, failed as we were informed that 'the entire department' was tied up in a meeting this afternoon. That was still the case when we telephoned again at 4.47pm to make absolutely sure that our fax had been safely received. Julia on the switchboard confirmed that it had been.

Kirwans offered to assist us with concluding written terms of settlement with the McCanns, via Carter-Ruck, if we paid them a retainer of £5,000 plus VAT. After a short period of consideration, Debbie and I decided that neither of us could afford this. We offered the sum of £500.00 to Kirwans for their advice to date which was accepted and paid by us. I should explain that this was in respect of several hours of advice and assistance from Kirwans during the period 24 September until today, notably including a sentence-by-sentence analysis of the '60 Reasons' book by Partner Michael Sandys, for which we are grateful.

As we cannot afford further legal help, we shall have to deal with any further correspondence with Carter-Ruck ourselves.

That's all, and I have to be up again at 7.00am in order to make our Cardiff meeting tomorrow on time.

FINALLY...

I wish to make it clear to all readers of this forum, whoever they are, that as from today we gave notice to Carter-Ruck that we acceded to their demand that The Madeleine Foundation website be 'suspended permanently'. Stevo has exercised what he asserts are his rights associated with registration and ownership of the domain name etc. and is now in personal and sole control of this website which has been re-named.

THIS WEBSITE THEREFORE IS NO LONGER IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM UNDER THE CONTROL OR DIRECTION OF THE MADELEINE FOUNATION.

A Breath Of Fresh Air

EXCLUSIVE to mccannfiles.com

By Dr Martin Roberts
12 October 2009

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

That's what the 'Maddie' case needs! "New Scotland Yard must step in" comments the Sunday Express of October 11. "Home Secretary Alan Johnson should now ask Scotland Yard to set up a cold case review team..." A pity really that the McCanns opted for Leicestershire constabulary in the first instance. The 'Yard' would have had it sewn up by now. Well, let's face it, given what we know (as opposed to what the McCanns' various spokespersons keep telling us), Inspector Clouseau couldn't fail to close the case. Whoever comes on board, they should be grateful to Express Group newspapers, and Donal MacIntyre, for anticipating the necessary 'cold case review' with - a 'cold case review.'

The 'cold' factor having already been discussed not long ago (McCann files, 29 Sept.) we now have further theoretical paradigms to assess (isn't it exciting? Every few weeks a new theory!). But let's begin by re-establishing the thrust and significance of MacIntyre's contribution. According to the Daily Star of 21 September "The McCanns' investigators say they are already probing MacIntyre's findings and agree with most of his theories." Most, I take it, being 51% plus. Unfortunately we don’t know exactly with which points they are in agreement. With the benefit of hindsight we might suppose the following to belong to the 49% minority - except, that is, for the parenthetic introduction into the argument of an anaesthetic compound.

1(a) Donal MacIntyre (In the Sunday Express): "So we must assume that a few minutes before Gerry arrived, the abductor walked along the public road beside the apartment, opened the gate, walked up 10 steps to the patio and entered through the open patio doors."

(b) Sunday Express Oct. 11: "A theory emerging is that the kidnapper had a duplicate key to apartment 5a, which could have been used on the night to enter by the front door."

2(a) DM: "The abductor inside the apartment passes Madeleine – probably put to sleep with chloroform – through the open window into the accomplice's arms."

(b) SE Oct. 11: "Mr Edgar and Mr Cowley do not believe Madeleine was taken through an open window."

3(a) DM: "The accomplice makes his way out of the window and into the darkness."

(b) SE Oct. 11: see preceding.

And yet, from the ashes of contradiction, arises the phoenix of chloroform!

"The kidnapper of Madeleine McCann drugged her and her twin brother and sister so they would all be quiet while she was snatched."

Eureka! Now we know why the window was opened. It wasn't to let people out, but fresh air in, an important consideration when the nature of chloroform is taken into account. Chloroform is a colourless, sweet smelling liquid, which easily forms a vapour. Its sweetness is estimated to be 40 times that of table sugar. It's obvious now though why Kate didn't smell anything untoward, as the window had been open for some 45 minutes before she returned to the children's bedroom. Plenty of time for any alien odour to dissipate. But hang on a minute! The window was closed when Gerry made his rounds at 9.05 p.m. and the abductor was still inside. So was the smell of chloroform if he'd only just administered it to all three children.

In the context of its historical application as an anaesthetic, the effects of chloroform inhalation may be categorised into five stages:

1. The patient became insensible but retained consciousness.
2. The patient entered a lethargic state in which some pain could be felt.
3. The patient was physically incapable and could feel no pain.
4. The patient exhibited strenuous breathing and complete muscle relaxation.
5. The patient suffered an (often fatal) paralysis of the chest muscles.

Stage 3 was recommended for most surgical procedures. Contrary to popular belief, it was very difficult to chloroform a patient to that extent. A skilled anaesthetist could take 5 minutes to render a patient suitable for surgery.*

Now, even though his targets were very young children, the abductor still had three of them to deal with, so the air in their bedroom should have been pungent when Gerry stood in the doorway thinking how 'lucky' he was. The wine must have really dulled his senses however. Not only did he fail to spot another adult in the room, with nowhere to conceal himself, but the sickly smell of chloroform, recently administered within a metre or so of where Gerry was standing, escaped detection also. You'd think someone with serious medical training would notice that.

At this point the apologists leap to their feet in unison. 'Gerry didn't smell chloroform or anything because it was administered to the children as soon as he'd left.' Oh, really? I beg to reiterate:

"The kidnapper of Madeleine McCann drugged her and her twin brother and sister so they would all be quiet while she was snatched."

Our murky marauder is considered to have drugged all three children on account of his experience the previous evening, when checking out the layout of the apartment (which can only be accomplished from the inside of course, so he must have exercised his duplicate key on the Wednesday night as well). Simply by moving about (perhaps he flushed the toilet) he disturbed Sean who, in turn, disturbed Madeleine. "Drat!" he thought to himself. "I must come back tomorrow night and make sure they're all asleep." This begs the obvious question of why he didn't simply abscond with Madeleine there and then, having already gained access undetected. What more did he need?

I digress. Wednesday night being the dress rehearsal, we must focus on the act of sedation perpetrated on the Thursday, after Gerry had turned and left. And why was it done? To prevent the children from waking each other. The anaesthetist has three children to deal with simultaneously. On a previous visit his very presence set them a-crying. So how does he know which one to sedate first? Maybe he just got lucky, after Gerry had turned and left don't forget. But by that time he had already been in the bedroom (playing peek-a-boo behind a wardrobe door not wide enough to hide him, adopting the foetal position behind the cribs, or possibly hanging from the ceiling like Spiderman, who knows?). There he was, waiting like a coiled spring to leap into action and flourish the chloroform, whilst from the children, who the night before had cried at his very presence, was heard - nothing at all. Maybe they'd simply arrived at their own consensus of unconcern ('nothing to worry about, it's only the abductor') and couldn't be bothered to wake up a second time.

And after this heartless character has aggressively put the children to sleep, what does he do? Why, he very considerately opens the window, before leaving through the front door with Madeleine in his arms. That's why neither Matthew Oldfield nor Kate McCann noticed the aroma.

I don't think so somehow.

The bottom line is that this new theory, expounded by McCann detectives and authorised by McCann media liaison, has unwittingly resurrected the earliest conundrum of all, that of who opened the window? There being no forensic trace of any kind to indicate that anyone was daft enough to try and climb through it, there has to be a justification for the 'whooshing' curtains. But no chloroform-wielding abductor is going to stop to open a window just to let the smell out! So the window was closed and the vapour detectable when Gerry stood in the doorway. Or the window was closed, and the sleeping draught yet to be administered, when Gerry stood in the doorway without noticing the abductor, who, in turn, had failed to wake the children, so the chloroform was in fact surplus to requirements. Or the window was closed, Gerry had just left, and the abductor chloroformed the kids for good measure, leaving behind an odd smell. Oldfield was too timorous even to enter the bedroom, so he presumably thought one of the twins had filled their nappies and left it to Kate to aerate the dormitory. And whose fingerprints were found to be on the window, opened from the inside?

Kate McCann has, for more than two years now, been peddling the story that the window was open when she 'did her check.' Since her own detectives have circuitously arrived at the same conclusion as the PJ in that respect, an unravelling appears to be in prospect. And not before time.

The rabbit hole goes deep on this one. Brittish government complicit in the cover up as well as Gerry's deep Freemason connections. Cadavar scent in the Mccanns appartment as well as the boot of their hire car. Conflicting alibis and stories from the tapas 7....I could go on and on there is alot of evidence to point the finger at them.

Watch this mate...

oh my lord, really pathetic that they are planning to do this, you would think their focus would be on trying to "FIND" their child than trying to sweep critics from the net!.. I never knew Gerry was involved with the freemasons.. interesting. :rolleyes:

[sine]

WTF! Only psociopathic child abusing paedophile's use threat's to shut the mouth's of the innocent, classic tactic of fear of exposure! The McCann's should be locked up, which is what I put in my eamil to Carter-Ruck a few week's ago informing them of these McCann threat's to shut the mouth's of the public's right to an opinion in the Madeleine case, was akin to an incest paedophile's tactic's to supress their child victim's, and the McCann's can go and 'Fuck themselves' if they think they can take out a libel case of every one of the 300 milion public user's of the net that have their legal right to opinon's of already publically published police file's and statement's, they've got another thing comming. Carter-Ruck sent no reply, so I surgest the more people that throw email's and letter's at Carter-Ruck stating the McCann's devient tactic's to shut the mouth's of the public on the net are just exposing themselves as psociopathic child abuser's by taking such libel action's against them, then Carter-Ruck will be be slapped in the face with it and cease their threat's!

[amaralsright]

You believe in free speech or you don't.

There are no caveats.. if you say "yes but.." then you don't believe in free speech.

The McCanns can fuck off.

They have somehow managed to subvert the Constitution of Portugal which has the right to free speech totally enshrined in it (because of it's history) and now gagging everyone else is their next target.

Well get this Kate and Gerry.. until you tell us everything, openly and honestly, about what you did the previous evening when Madeleine was crying for 90 minutes unattended then I'm not going to believe anything you say.

Until you ask the Portuguese Police to reopen the case, cooperate with a reconstruction, answer ALL their questions, I'm not going to believe anything you say.

I get the feeling this bullying and intimidation by the McCann's will backfire. People have a right to question, believe or disbelieve whatever they choose, they cannot be forced by law to disregard compelling evidence and meekly swallow lies... If the 'suspects' were telling the truth, the facts would support their story, but they don't.

The fees of Carter Ruck for keeping these two in the clear must be exorbitant!

In the meantime, where is Madeleine? :confused:
