Madeleine: Spin doctor to act as PR for the spin doctors McCann


Madeleine: Spin doctor to act as PR for the spin doctors McCann

The former government spin doctor, Clarence Mitchell, has today resigned from his job as head of the Media Monitoring Unit, within the Central Office of Information, to start work tomorrow morning for the McCanns as their official spokesman. "Mitchell spent a month in Praia da Luz in the early days of the campaign to find Madeleine after her disappearance on May 3. He was sent out by the Government on 'consular assistance grounds' and was the architect of the McCanns' visit to meet the Pope and a tour which took in Spain, Germany and Morocco". I can see the book publishers and film companies lining up for this story.

Why would a man like Clarence Mitchell leave a comfortable job with the government and a nice pension to work for suspected child killers? Ok, so Richard Branson and his business associates also support suspected child killers, and he will be getting paid a large salary. This is not about finding Madeleine. This is all about Gerry and Kate McCann's public image. If it was all about Madeleine, the McCanns would not have swapped the roles as medical doctors to become spin doctors. And now, a third spin doctor has joined the firm. If the McCanns were interested in Madeleine they would have told the truth in the first place, and the truth requires no spin because it stands up on its own merit. However, the McCanns decided instead to spin a pack of lies. Between them they are suspected of having killed their 3 year old daughter Madeleine and disposing of her body on their last day of a holiday in Portugal.

The McCanns are not the Posh and Becks of Rothley in Leicestershire. In prison terms they are nonces. The lowest of the low. They have not become infamous because he is a world class footballer and she used to be a singer in a girl band. Their infamy has arrived through child neglect and/or child abandonment, whilst they went out for meals and drink sessions with friends, leaving the children home alone, and surprise, surprise, one ends up going missing. They claim that a paedophile abducted Madeleine. The Portugese police, and FBI, suspect the McCanns killed and disposed of her body. The English police, well, we don't know what they think yet because the case has not been handed to their jurisdiction. But, according to a McCann spokesperson, the Social Services in Leicestershire have decided, after an hour's investigation, that the 2 year old twins are not at risk. Personally, I would prefer it if any statement was to be made by the Social Services that they made the official statement themselves and not through a relative or friend of the McCanns.

"Meanwhile, according to Portuguese press today, the McCanns have reneged on their promise to return to Portugal if requested by refusing to go back voluntarily to the Algarve for further questioning. They now say they will only go back if forced to legally". This from the couple who claimed that they have got nothing to hide. First they hid in Portugal to escape the English authorities, then they fled back to Britain to escape the Portuguese authorities. Why don't they stop running and answer the 66 questions which the Portuguese police feel they need to answer to clear them from any blame? Kate McCann failed to answer 40 questions and Gerry McCann failed to answer 22 questions.

It doesn't matter how much whitewash Clarence Mitchell applies to the stones unturned the blogosphere will continue to turn them over in the search for the truth.

    The books are simply wonderful !

    ----

    According to Clarence Mitchell today, the Mccanns are "victims of a heinous crime" and the focus should remain on finding Madeleine.

    Using words in order to alter emphasis can have a dramatic effect. Another way of looking at this is that: Madeleine is the victim of a heinous crime and the focus should remain on finding her body.

    Alistair Campbell never stopped Tony Blair becoming unpopular. Thanks to his spin doctors, he went from being the most popular British PM, to being the most unpopular. Quite how does Clarence M think he can brainwash the British public? It just won't wash. All that this case shows is that the British political and media establishment have nothing in common with the man on the omnibus anymore. Eventually this case will go to trial, and we'd have direct information on what really happened. It's really creepy that Mitchell has just said on Radio 5 live that he's being paid by some rich benefactors of this ASBO family. No wonder all decent Brits are emigrating to whatever country would have them.

    Below a reply to my query about Philo, from her employers

    Thank you for your comments regarding Ms McCann.

    Our view is that this is a private matter,Ms McCann acting as a private
    citizen and not as an employee of The Highland Council.

    Gordon Fyfe
    Public Relations Manager


    Philomena McCann is a teacher with Highlands Council and she claims with dread regularity that it is fine to leave three infants unattended in a foreign country while the parents go off on the piss. Even if we accepted that this is what happened it is grossly irresponsible and not something a teacher should publicly, repeatedly endorse as being commonplace and responsible behaviour. No other Highland Council employee would get away with this level of constant, controversial public exposure.

    If we look at the reality rather than the McCann Abduction spin there is a Highlands teacher, with no legal qualification or standing, rebuking, on an international stage, the law enforcement and judicial agencies of a European democracy. Philo has repeatedly pointed to her job as some kind of validator of her status as international jurist and child welfare expert. Can someone else complain to Highlands Council ?

    Technically of course this conduct is not part of her job description and so Mr Fyfe is correct in what he says but any other employess -teacher or social worker, for instance - would have been spoken to by now. There is a contractual obligation not to take on outside employment - and with her Team McCann trips to Portugal and her paid interviews this is exactly what McCann has been doing - and her fishwife caterwauling at lawful authorities and media organisations cannot help but bring her formal employers into disrepute. If anyone else feels that Philo's behaviour is incompatible with the teaching of infants the Highlands Chief Excutive's email is: chief.executive@highland.gov.uk

    Brother Righteous John McCann was sounding off in his smug I-Know-Gordon-Brown way on Radio Scotland news. A pharmaceuticals rep by trade, he was disputing the -reported- PJ and Birmingham Forensic Laboratory evidence as though he were a professor emeritus of jurisprudence. The BBC broadcast his guff as though 'twere fact.

    Her's the BBC's reply to my complaint:


    Thank you for your e-mail regarding BBC Radio Scotland news coverage.

    I am sorry to read that you feel that BBC Radio Scotland news has not been balanced with its reporting of the missing Madeline McCann.

    It is not always possible or practical to reflect all the different opinions on a subject within individual programmes. Editors are charged to ensure that over a reasonable period they reflect the range of significant views, opinions and trends in their subject area. The BBC does not seek to denigrate any view, nor to promote any view. It seeks rather to identify all significant views, and to test them rigorously and fairly on behalf of the audience. Among other evidence, audience research indicates widespread confidence in the impartiality of the BBC's reporting.

    However, I would like to assure you that we have registered your comments on our audience log. This is the internal report of audience feedback which we compile daily for all programme makers and commissioning executives within the BBC, and also their senior management.

    John,

    about 10 years ago, I "met" another Scorpion Tiger online; she was (is) living in California and we used to log-on at the precise same moment on a regular basis. Being on the same service provider enabled us to see who signs on and when. It happened not just once in a blue moon but about 10 times a week.

    That being so, it must be your birthday some time around now eh?? xx

    PS Now that I think of it, the lady I referred to is a Libra, not Scorpio, so I think that means I just shot my own argument down in flames. But I did just realise something else ROFL !!

    The McCann petition 2 is excellent, thanks. So many good angry people.
    Know nothing of astrology except this from King Lear:

    This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
    when we are sick in fortune,--often the surfeit
    of our own behavior,--we make guilty of our
    disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as
    if we were villains by necessity; fools by
    heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
    treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards,
    liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of
    planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
    by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion
    of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish
    disposition to the charge of a star! My
    father compounded with my mother under the
    dragon's tail; and my nativity was under Ursa
    major; so that it follows, I am rough and
    lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am,

    I'd like to help. Anon 11:07 is probably echo-ing the thoughts of many Portuguese people:- They must investigate upto the very end, the bottom line is that they need to find the truth from all the facts. It is Portugal that must be responsible for this case, after all, it all happened here. The PJ must be exempt and have the permission to do what they see fit, and in so doing, dignify Portugal.

    Yes, thank you anonymous, seems about right. I wonder if Europe feels as angry about this as I feel ashamed. I cannot help but think that so very many important people in the UK have nailed their colours to the mast of VirginMcCann that all the engines of the state will ensure there is no prosecution - for anything. A big screaming nancyboy prime minister and a squadron of snivelling boy and girl ministers -Millipede and Schmidt and Alexander- who will do exactly as the big girl Brown tells them. And he, it seems, does whatever Philo and John McCann request. Maybe they have something on him. John Prescott does,Peter Mandelson does.

    There was a particularly repulsive English jurist, "Lord" Denning; refusing the appeal of the Birmingham Six his Lordship said that it didn't matter if all the police in the case WERE lying sadistic torturers, it would be dreadful, irresponsible for a Court to validate this by allowing the appeal. Nobody would ever trust the Establishment again. The poor sods went back to jail for another decade until the Establishment could resist no longer. The framers, in the cops and the prosecuting lawyers, went to the very top of their so-called professions and were never challenged on their lies. For some reason or another, with few exceptions, the Establishment is utterly McCannite. Anybody got any ideas how to resist ? Blogging, unfortunately, won't do it.

    The Portugese police, the FBI.... Is this the US FBI which believes the McCanns guilty / And, if so, can you direct me to it ? Thanks

    Blogging alone may not be the only means to resist what is happening but it is the internet which played a pivotal role in the fall of the former Soviet Union. At that time, the internet was in its infancy and people were able to communicate in/out of the USSR; so when push came to shove politically, it did not take a very large push to push the whole lot over.

  26. stanislav: There is not a direct link to your FBI question only this one which is the FBI starting point in investigations, ie, the parents:

    Link

    Secondly, when Gerry went to the US he had hoped to speak to the FBI but they refused to meet him, which I got from some report but I cannot remember where off hand, which says a lot about their not buying the abduction theory put out by the McCanns. Even George Bush would not meet him and left it to his wife to speak to him. That's two snubs he got on his US trip.

    Thanks John, thanks Liz. Yes, given the media savvy focus of US law enforcement it would be safe to assume that the G men are not enthusiastic McCannites; Bush, I am not so sure about; maybe its just that he has enough crimes of his own to evade without getting into Gerry's scam, even though both have doped-up wives; the child protection link was good, thanks.

    I don't intend to be dismissive of the internet dialogues surrounding this or anything else but by the very profusion of voices there is a dilution of any common purpose- which may, as you say, have aided Comrade Gorbachev's reforming position and the dialogue takes place in a milieu ablaze with distraction; this is not political pamphleteering, nor does it forge agit-prop groupings and endeavours; significantly it is usually a solitary pursuit impelled by who knows what ? Insomnia perhaps, social isolation, sheer bloody-mindedness. In the absence of physical links between people the establishment of a united opposition is difficult. It would be impossible to be precise about the tenor of comment online about Team McCann but an educated guess would be that it is running at more than fifty-to-one against. This may be caused by the fact that online people are, by nature, sceptical, non-conformist, they should all , like good debtor citizens, be watching the TV. All across the blogsphere, nevertheless, people from all backgrounds seem to be enraged by this toxic gang and yet, and yet, the MSM dismisses us as crackpots, loners. It is as though the internet is simultaneously the greatest thing ever and the home of sick weirdos; just as DNA is the foolproof crimebuster which the Government wants all citizens to provide samples of, in the case of the McCanns it is utterly unreliable; the sniffer dogs are the best in the world but useless mutts when it comes to the McCanns and the Birmingham Forensic Lab the best in the world but rubbish really. We need a demo, like the ones about Iraq.

    It doesn't matter what is said online, the government and its owners play us as though they were Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and we Hamlet ( You will recall how Hamlet says to these two murderous spindoctors: here, play me a tune on this flute; but we can't, sire; No, play, I insist, Sire we cannot play. No no no I insist you play; We cannot play an instrument, Sire; No ??? but you would play me, coax some tune from me, agreeable to your purpose, you would stop my reeds, fret my strings??????)

    I suppose the resolution of this discord between people and masters will not happen until more people are online than are watching Richard and Judy.

    Anyway, Stanislav is proud announcement to make among English friends of making new interweb ID and is pleased to reveal first time on JHL that henceforth stanislav is call himself Philomena McCann of VirginMcCannJustice plc. In Stanislav country old proverb make, if not beat them, not join but pelt with beetroot. Philomena already make postings on Guido and will make many in different place. If people google Philomena McCann might get stanislav, really, make very good satire of lying Scotch fishwife. And so jolly well should. Everybody should be Philomena, or Gerry or Kate.

    Anyway, Stanislav go now, search bushes for girl Maddy, like idiot.

    re Soviet Union et al: are you familiar with Solzhenitsyn's works at all? Lenin in Zurich is a bit of a marathon but there are some very intersting facts contained therein: the most illuminating is that Lenin understood how to make revolution. Not by engaging the masses initially, but by ensuring that the Soviet Union went to war with Germany. Lenin ensured that seeds of discontent were sown amongst the Russian people by encouraging them into war. He did this not because he wanted war but because he understood that war reduces a man further still i.e. against himself. Once war happened, it took just a handful of well-placed people in key towns and cities to react against the suffering and revolution occurred. This time it worked because the seeds had been sown.

    It took just a handful of people, who ripe for the picking, could be steered against the intelligentsia and the monarchy, to create an order which would last for 70 years or more.
