IRONSIDE Response, Part II

Ironside has asked me on my thoughts about the possible re-use, by the McCanns of Mr. Hewlett.

First of all, I thought the bloke was a gonner by now. Had a friend who was diagnosed with the disease at about the same time, and unfortunately has left us quite a while ago. Not that I wish for Mr Hewlett to pass away, and hope that he’ll remain amongst us for many years to come.

But that’s to what I thought that the silence about him was all about.

He didn’t fulfill the preset requirements for stool-pigeon, and had passed away as anonymously as he had been before the McCanns invaded, in a completely inhuman and disrespectful way, his privacy.

It did escape me a thought or two that if that had been the case, of him passing away, that the same scum-press that had so vainly accused him, had now with the same vanity discarded him as useless and not even worth a mention. Fortunately he is alive.

We humans are blessed with the gift of life but not with the previledge of taking it. Many disagree with me on this.

Now about the McCanns using him again. Well, before explaining my rationale let me clarify that the McCanns have proved me wrong more than once. I’ve thought that they had a reasonable amount of intelligence, which, insistently, they’ve gone out of their way to prove me wrong.

To use Mr Hewlett, or any "Hewlett" as stool-pigeon is a VERY stupid idea. Even if he, or whoever, whispers is his last breath “I did Maddie in”.

One could be led to think that would be the only way out for all McCanns problems. Having someone confess and then go away without explaining the details.

Very pretty, with just one minor glitch. The explaining wouldn’t have to be done by the departed, but by the remaining characters of the play.

The reason for that is that until they pinpoint a “Hewlett”, we’re left around with an abductor, that could be you, me, or anybody else in this wide world (before some stupid moron starts to say that I’m admitting an abductor, let me clarify that I’m following the McCann line of thought of ramming down our throats that there was one, which as we all know, is completely ridiculous), whilst naming the abductor, or more important, officially recognizing him as THE abductor, is to narrow the storyline down to a single character.

This brings huge problems to the McCanns. I’ll give you just an example: the sweat it causes them just to hear the word “jemmied”.

As I said before, it’s not anyone that can take a fall. Details will start to appear that will contradict their version, placing them in a place somewhere between a wall and a hard place. To insist is stupid, to justify why they were “fooled” by the confessor is a very ungrateful and an exposing task.

With every sighting, they can go back and say that its unconfirmed. But with a confession, you have to say that you either believe that that person is guilty and WHY, or simply discard him.

Yes, Maddie’s body wouldn’t be found (it simply cannot for the same reason it disappeared), and a mistery would surround the whole thing. But ths mistery would mean that the “Hewlett’s” life would be scrutinized to the smallest detail, and that in turn would just make the contradictions pop-up like mushrooms.

Lest we forget, Lee Oswald was a designated stool-pigeon. He didn’t know, nor did he need to know. He just had to be at the right place at the right time and then be disposed of. A planned stool-pigeon, and even then things didn’t add up.

An unplanned one is a very, very stupid move. But they had me fooled once, so they can fool me again...

By the way, even if they came up with a slam-dunk one, they’d still have to overcome their biggest problem: explain how there was even an abductor.

Hope I made sense.
