For some reason I think of him as a foe but does he deserve that? What can we say about his role in the McCann case?
I was looking for more information on Bob Small and came across this article by Paulo Reis and it didn't read that bad so I want to know more.

I assume you mean friend of K&G?Telling the truth or not. A friend is anyone telling the truth. I don't care about the outcome, I just want the truth.

So you want a thread to decide if people are lying? Invitation to libel.Isn't there criticism of MSM at times and Paulo Reis is a journalist.

astro saidThanks Brietta It might have been Duarte Levy who I was thinking about in the first place. I had this image of this man and the photos of Paulo Reis didn't ring the bell.
Paulo, thank you for this exhaustive and crucial analysis.
It is high time for the ridiculous pretenses from this group to be exposed for what they are: an insult to anyone's intelligence, and an even greater insult to the memory of a little girl who deserves so much better.

Is this one of the volunteer translators of the PJ Files?
Paulo Reis may indeed be what it says on the tin ... "journalist" ... in my opinion though, he would have done well not to have associated himself with Duarte Levy. That would give anyone's credibility a severe hammering.
Never forget the prime purpose of a journalist is to sell copy for his masters.Could Paulo Reis be one of a kind?

You seemed to be confusing him with someone else earlier, so perhaps he is two of a kind
Paulo is more like the Joker - one of a kind.
He had a mention by Lemmy.I don't recall Lemmy sorry - can I buy a clue?

Motorhead - Ace of Spades (lyrics)
Don't encourage me!
There are two;
Lemmy Barnett who was the radio operator in Journey Space [for us oldies]. Originally played by David Kossoff whose son the late Paul Kossoff was a brilliant rock guitarist with Free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWrfwtPQ1tc.
Free morphed into Bad Company after Kossoffs death.
Then there was the late Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister of Motorhead a heavy metal band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iwC2QljLn4
In at about 1:30 for the joker.
My mantra is from Ace of Spades:
"You win some, lose some, all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed"
All off topic of course but a nice bit of rock nonetheless.
Apparently the mods didn't like my mentioning "Carmen" last week. See how they like Heavy Metal.
I draw the line at NashTrash.
I like to keep it simple for Rob`. Too much googling gives you a headache I don't suppose he's remotely interested in pink buses.
Donna Mae "Think Pink" Mims?I heard of Vanessa Mae.

I find this Paulo Reis research very refreshing.

My opinion about Gerry and Kate McCann" by Paulo Reis http://gazetadigitalmadeleineandthemedia.blogspot.co.nz/2007/06/my-opinion-about-gerry-and-kate-mccann.html
I am surprised what I read here.

My opinion about Gerry and Kate McCann
I don’t believe, as a journalist, that the McCanns are, in any way, related with the abduction of Madeleine. I’ve been following this case, not only in the Web – I was also at Praia da Luz, for one week (May 17 to May 23). For the last two months, I also have followed the news on the Net very carefully and closely.
So, based on all the information I collected, either during my stay in Praia da Luz or in the Net, as a journalist, I CAN’T SEE THE SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE THAT GERRY AND KATE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER DAUGTHER DISAPEARENCE.
And I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE, WITH THE INFORMATION I HAVE, NOW, THAT THERE IS NOTHING THE MCCAN CAN BE ACCUSED OF, FROM A LEGAL OR CRIMINAL POINT OF VIEW. I may be wrong, but I STRONGLY BELIEVE THE CHANCE OF BEING WRONG IS VERY SMALL: 0,1 per cent, as I'm 99, 9 per cent sure of what I say.
As a human being, a common man, father of two boys (one, 22 years old, the other 11) let me tell you this: I was at an arm’s distance from the McCanns, when they gave a Press Conference at Praia da Luz. I looked into the eyes of Kate McCann and I saw so much pain and suffering that I had to take a deep breath to control myself, to avoid tears coming to my eyes and not let emotion overcome me! I was shocked to see so much pain in her eyes and in her look! That's something that only people that has kids can understand and feel!"
Well that was from being there and looking the McCanns in the eye. I had no idea he was that way inclined.
He's not the only one to display faulty reasoning. Pain and suffering isn't evidence of innocence.
Her violin isn't pink. You really, really need a diploma in googling when dealing with Alice. (no offence intended)

The sad thing is most of it was in my head long before Google was launched in UK.
I remember that well. It was plugged by Johnny Walker [remember him and Sally Bozeman the "Jam Tart" ?] on "Drive Time". I shifted to Google as a result of J.W's praise for it.
He admits to have changed his opinion, so I suppose there were times he wrote with a different stance.The change of heart followed on from The Mccanns being made Arguidos, returning home and then just two days before Paulo Reis said that, the Martin Smith statement about the man coming down the plane steps, from the way he carried the little one, being like Smithman.
Paulo Reis writes:
"You are quoting an opinion I wrote in June 26, 2007. That was my opinion, at the time, with the facts that were available - not only my opinion, but also the opinion of millions of people, all over the world. Like many millions, I changed my opinion. I can't ignore the fact that PJ, the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Criminal Instruction Court - a three-tier system,where each institution is independent from the other - agreed they are suspects and have some degree of responsibility in the disappearance of her daughter." (I've corrected many spelling mistakes he made)
So I'm a little confused was this his first opinion and later it changed to be more favour with the PJ or is it the other way around?
Got it now: It was the opposite he changed to be sceptical of the McCanns from an initial favourable stance.
The admission of a change of heart was on 22 September 2007.
The change of heart followed on from The Mccanns being made Arguidos, returning home and then just two days before Paulo Reis said that, the Martin Smith statement about the man coming down the plane steps, from the way he carried the little one, being like Smithman.Were you following this case then. There seems to have been the time when he was really matey with Duarte Levy and then the major falling out "My credibility is also seriously damaged, due to my association with him. A journalist's credibility takes a long time to build but it's a fragile thing. A single mistake is enough to destroy it. Once lost, it's almost impossible to have it back. So, I decided to stop writing about this case."
That is pretty persuasive stuff, and now The Mccanns are freed from the Arguido status and Martin Smith has publicly declaired that Smithman wasn't Gerry I wonder how Paulo feels now?

Have you missed the part were Martin Smith said he hadn’t changed his mind?

Isn't it duplicitous to specifically name the man seen & then help produce an efit to implicate another (possibly innocent) person?The whole Smith family affair is strange full stop.
I'm finding this thread one of the most interesting threads I've started, I just keep wanting to go back to it. Will it uncover a vital clue?I kept searching for his articles and find if he did stop temporarily he must have resumed at some stage for there are articles right up to the 10 year anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance.
If he has stopped writing about the case the clue has to be within a fairly narrow time frame.
do we have a direct quote or are you relying on hearsay...the actual wording of what he said would be quite important
Very interesting once again is the article Paulo wrote about in 2014 - it was about 2 topics we have covered in the last week Len Port and the stats of Missing Children.

It's not entirely clear what time frame Paulo meant, nor where he got his information from.They might only keep the more recent ones on their list.
If it's from the PJ site https://www.policiajudiciaria.pt/pessoas-desaparecidas/ , no physical of trace of Joana has ever been found, yet she doesn't appear on the site.
They might only keep the more recent ones on their list.

That doesn't seem to be the case as from those that I can remember offhand they're long-term ones: Madeleine is still on there (although still with a photo from young childhood as opposed to the age-progressed one). Rui Pedro disappeared in 98, plus a couple of others.
Whatever happened to little Joana, I find it sad that she's not on there. There's room for info to put in a blurb, if ever, that her mother and uncle were convicted, but that no trace of her has been found to date.
The likelihood that she's alive is extremely slim after all this time (IMO), but even so: as there's no physical evidence of what happened to her, someone's memory could still be jogged, even if it's to add some kind of substance of those currently convicted.

That means there is still 7 missing children disappeared in 2006, but who they are? No names, no images?
"Sadly, reported cases of missing children have increased since the SOS phone line was created in 1988."
But Instituto de Apoio à Criança tells us not anymore how many children is missing in Portugal, because there is new organization for this: Portuguese Association for Missing Children and leader of this organization is Paulo Pereira Cristovao:.(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FYaFsoKcaVA/STvch6m6NoI/AAAAAAAAAmY/IF-w2RaAXqM/s320/Paulo_228x342-1.jpg)HEAD of Portugal's new foundation for missing children:http://minnea.blogspot.co.uk/2008/12/portugal-dangerous-place-for-children.html
