I was originally supportive of the McCanns. I wasn't even especially critical of their babysitting arrangements as it struck me as not that different from a baby listening service. Having said that, it appears they were not checking on the children as often as they said and they were also quite far away.
It is only in the past few months that I started to become suspicious. Now I can see and smell a rat the size of a large continent. I am still somewhat flummoxed on the question of why so much support from such high places. Was there something else going on between Britain and Portugal? Or was it a political maneuver to bury bad news and sell newspapers with a human interest story? I can certainly see why our media would want to believe in the abduction theory - it is the stuff of every parents worst fear (although, curiously, had not been a fear of the McCanns at all until that evening).
Or is there some kind of wider agenda (Gerry's words) to do with making everyone paranoid about safety (the micro chipping theory?)
There are undoubtedly a lot of cultish elements operating - Catholicism, Medicine, Freemasonry. Then there are the links to organized crime.
The Murdoch press are not exactly squeaky clean. They can do a pretty good job of discrediting people when they want to. Brian Deer, a hack with no scientific qualifications at all, did a hatchet job on Andrew Wakefield. Interestingly, he got no support at all from high places. Yet he too was a doctor. All very strange.....
