Goncalo Amaral.

Look, there's obviously nothing to talk about this minute, so lets all just sit tight & wait patiently until Wolters reveals the concrete evidence. It shouldn't be much longer now.

I think you are quite right.  As we know there is still a lot of process to be gone through regarding the active cases which it is hoped will lead to charges being brought against Brueckner.

The police having concluded their work on these, they have passed the relevant files to Brueckner's defence team who will study them and give their opinion on the process.

This is expected to take a considerable amount of time.  I think the process is carried out under similar protocols to the now infamous "Secrecy of Justice" rule which was so used and abused by Amaral against Madeleine's parents throughout her case when he was actively involved as co-ordinator.

A practice which he has kept up consistently through the years to the present day as he continues his slurs against them in defence of his "scapegoat".

[Brietta]

Well, At least this has put a stop to the Sceptic misinformation.  Even if only temporarily.

It is unbelievable the way in which misinformation has been manipulated in this case and almost without exception all emanating from the strings pulled Goncalo Amaral, the puppet master in chief.

I was struck by the date given on the following video from RTP Archived Files being 2007-09-07. If that date is correct and I have no suspicion otherwise, Madeleine's case was still a live one in which her parents had been made arguidos and the case was very much subject to so called Portuguese secrecy laws.

Amaral doesn't make an appearance on this occasion; but the rest of his propaganda team were all present and correct as they have been for over fifteen years.

This isn't what I actually meant.
My Comment was Neither Civil nor Relevant.  Which is what it has all come down to.

The Sleep Inducing Calpol was not introduced into The Market until September 2007.  And even then it wasn't dangerous.

Actually, scrap that, lets just bang on & on about Amaral instead.

[Brietta]

Your comment is neither civil nor relevant imo.

With due respect I would be inclined to disagree with your assessment.

As you may note from my subsequent post ~ I had absolutely no problem finding relevant information to discuss on this discussion forum.

As Eleanor's comment is both therefore relevant and perhaps even more to the point TRUE I think your opinion of her post is way off the mark.

For example your opinion of using Madeleine's ailing papa as a propaganda tool during the period of secrecy of justice could be looked on as 'fair comment' by some.
Others may find it reprehensible.  All a matter of opinion.  Although I'm not sure of the legality of conducting a full blown discussion of the misinterpretation applied to it on a Portuguese TV programme or how prejudicial to the arguidos ~

All that was missing was the physical presence of Amaral but his not quite subliminal presence was in the shape of his unproven and unproveable theories under discussion.

Best idea you've had for yonks.

As for the forum being biased, that is nonsense.  The one thing we do correctly is to allow all shades of opinion.

My Comment has been Edited by Gunit.  Which was my point precisely.

Brilliant thinking there!

As it is the Goncalo Amaral thread if everyone 'bangs on' in that vein I can bog off moderating for a bit and relax with a coffee instead.

Oh the heaven of having a thread consisting of 'on topic' posts.

And then Gunit Edited My Opinion.  Probably because she wasn't quite silly enough to Delete my Comment altogether.

Oh God, don't do that because you will get The Sack.  As per what happened to me.

Oh, well done.  Don't ever criticise The Forum, despite the current agenda.

Do you honestly think that we don't know what you are up to?

[Eleanor]

Have you any idea of how ridiculous that statement is?

No, probably not.

So what do you think any Forum amounts to beyond your own personal opinion?

Do you have anything to say which is on topic?
