A pedido da May I, que solicitou um poema em Português neste dia:
O tempo dura tanto mais quanto mais é duro
Mas muito mais duro é ele quando não dura
Pequena andorinha loira de olho límpido e puro
Quebraram-te a asa e a tarde logo ficou escura
Teu corpo envolto foi em mantos de espinhos
Esses noutros até o nada poder ser o descoberto
Muitos e outros tantos se meteram por caminhos
Nos caminhos se meteram para que nada fosse certo
Fizeram-te ave fantástica voando por desertos e mares
Mais além do que um albatroz ousaria tentar voar
Mas áquem duma traição se nela te empenhares
Empenhados tantos foram, impossíveis de contar
O mal, esse sempre vem do lado mais mesquinho
Desconhecido é onde foi gerado esse degenerado
A floresta corrompeu a árvore, e esta o teu ninho
Pequena andorinha loira de olho agora marcado
Segredos seixos são empurrados pela corrente
Agora apanha-se um, um outro é quando se apanhar
Porque a eternidade protege a verdade, não quem mente
O tempo, duro ou não, dura o que tiver de durar
Rough translation:
At May I's request, who asked for a Portuguese poem on this day:
Time lasts longer the harder it is
But much harder is it when it doesn’t last
Little blonde Swallow with a clear and pure eye
They broke your wing and the afternoon became dark
Your body was wrapped in cloaks of thorns
Others over these until nothing was what could be discovered
Many, and many more put themselves on the way
In the way they put themselves so that nothing would be right
They made you into a fantastic bird flying over deserts and seas
Further than an albatross would dare try to fly
But shorter than betrayal if you commit to it
And committed were so many, impossible to tell
Evil, always comes from the cheapest side
Unknown is where was generated that degenerate
The forest corrupted the tree, and she your nest
Little blonde Swallow with, now, a marked eye
Secrets are pebbles pushed by the current
Now is one caught, another will be when it is
Eternity protects the truth, not those who lie
Time, hard or not, it lasts what it has to last
The Daily Mail has the article regarding Madeleine with 'have your say' open for comments. 217 comments so far... the big majority saying how repulsive the couple appears to them and questionning the amount of taxes spent on that case while the parents do nothing to allow a reconstruction.
ReplyDeletePorque e que os pais nao vieram a PDL, neste 3 de Maio que curiosamente tambem e uma 5a Feira?
ReplyDeleteO negocio ja nao da para as viagens e em vez de abracos e lagrimas na PDL, podiam encontrar perguntas incomodas ou alguem que viu alguma coisa, se encheu de coragem e decidiu contar a verdade, a PJ.
Uma viagem rapida pelas edicoes on-line dos jornais portugueses parece mostrar que poucos pegaram na historia da menina inglesa 'perdida' no Algarve.
ReplyDeleteDos que pegam na historia, aquilo que mais sobressai e o tempo do verbo usado para caracterizar o momento:
'Madeleine que COMPLETARIA 9 anos'
'Maddie que FARIA 9 anos'
Exactamente o mesmo tempo verbal usado por Redwood quando se referiu a nova imagem da hipotetica Madeleine.
A prova de como os pequenos detalhes, contam tanto nesta historia. E neles que encontramos importantes factos e uma parte fundamental da verdade.
O que os jornalistas nao escreveram mas pensaram quando teclaram estas frases:
' Madeleine que, se estivesse viva, COMPLETARIA/FARIA 9 anos'. COm Redwood a assinar por baixo.
ONDE QUER QUE ESTEJAS MADDIE, UM BOUQUET DE TULIPAS VIRTUAIS PARA TI.
Can I ? If not possible, don´t post. A very nice day to all.
ReplyDeleteMay Flower
I’m a May Flower;
I’m a May Flower because I was born in May;
I’m a May Flower because I lived in May;
I'm a May Flower because I lived for three full Mays....
I’m a May Flower… that withered in May;
I was I’m a May Flower;
No!
I’m a May Flower;
I’m a white May Flower;
Because it’s calm, pure, peaceful and innocent:
I’m and will always be a May Flower;
I’m a lovely and loved May Flower;
I’m a May Flower;
Imagine…
A May Flower comes from a cactus;
But…
I am and will always be
A May Flower.

Vamos ver se a publicidade que a SF anda a fazer a sua entrevista nao vai se igual a do programa sobre o Rei Ghob.
ReplyDeleteUm dado importante sobre o dia de hoje e as poucas reportagens portuguesas feitas na PDL, e a reaccao dos residentes portugueses e ingleses. Unanimamente todos salientam que os pais estao envolvidos, quer tenha sido acidente ou nao. Isto quer dizer que entre a populacao que circunda a cena do crime, circula a versao da morte. Nao e de certeza baseada no so no livro de GA ou nas files da PJ. E baseada no que alguns viram, nas conversas, nos rumores, no que conheceram dos pais e do resort. Estranhamente, o OC esta fechado. Reabre no fim de Maio e os empregados sao todos novos. Quer dizer que o negocio que enchia o resort na epoca baixa, ja nao se faz. Porque? nao foram as condicoes climatericas da PDL, nem o fantasma de um raptor que afastaram os turistas. Ja nao se promove um certo tipo de turismo porque agora dava nas vistas.
Se foi um estranho que levou Maddie, porque e que o resort mudou todos os empregados? Desde quando a incuria de um casal de clientes afecta a vida dos empregados de um resort? Porque e que foram estes a pagar a factura? o que viram e foram obrigados a calar? Porque e que tem de estar fora dos holofotes dos jornais e do contacto com os novos clientes? Curtou-se o mal pela raiz, e nao e de certeza a pensar em localizar Madeleine ou a ajudar a desvendar a verdade.
Ha gestos que valem mais que mil palavras. A propria populacao da PDL parece ter sido atacada por forcas Hitlerianas que as reprimem. Tem medo de falar. E o que deduzo da imagem passada pelos jornalistas portugueses. E Isto e aterrador. Nao admira que alguns blogs sejam assaltados por BHs sempre que o assunto se aproxima da verdade.
This poem, a tribute to a girl named Madeleine, and summarize wonderfully in only 20 lines the spider web which has involved.
ReplyDelete"Your body was wrapped in cloaks of thorns "
Thanks .
Das 195 pistas, 3 ja sao conhecidas e valem ZEEROOOO:
ReplyDelete1- Avistamento na India. Desmentida pela policia indiana.
2- Avistamento em Malaga. Desmentida pela PJ.
3-Ressuscitar da velha historia do taxista que levou Maddie e Kate Mccann no dia 4 de Maio. Quando a historia rebentou, Mitchell chamou lunatico e outros epitetos, ao taxista porque envolvia Kate. Disse que o tempo estava todo errado. Agora, passou-lhe um pouco de Typex e apagou a Kate da historia. Ja serve... e indigna-se porque a PJ nao ouviu o lunatico do taxista. Haja paciencia para tanta mentira, tanta jogada baixa e tanta tinta desperdicada nos jornais.
Eu gostava era de saber qual foi a tarifa que o taxista cobrou para deixar que a cara dele apareca neste circo. Espero que pelo menos, para a sua conta bancaria, tenha valido a pena. Tenho pena que ainda haja portugueses que se vendam por tanta mentira. Este taxista coitado, nao deve ter tido aulas de Estatistica. Se nao me engano, em 2007 para credibilizar a sua historia, chegou a dizer que o filho sofria de coloboma como Maddie. Viu o defeito no olho. Coitado, sabe pouco de probabilidades e da quase impossibilidade de repetir o defeito num espaaco e tempo tao curto.
Não me admira o Ocean Club estar sem funcionar na época baixa...deixou de ser um local seguro e "discreto" para o tipo de clientela e "actividades" que o mantinham activo fora da época balnear. Essas "aves de arribação" voaram para outras paragens, por certo...
ReplyDeleteOlive Press today. It's Spain's turn to be subjected to ridicule and risible sightings. Rose Johnson , ex pat ( as they usually are) sees Madeleine in Nerja LAST year but didn't take a photo, ( they usually don't)
ReplyDeleteSeen with a group she thought looked Spanish.
Yvonne Tunnicliffe (ex pat) saw her in a supermarket in Alhaurin and thought she had been taken by Gypsies.
Ian Horrocks, EX Met visits the Algarve (who invited him?) and declares it wasn't a paedophile, but a family who wanted a child.
Kate says someone saw the Tapas reservation book and targeted them, (nothing in the PJ files documents the existence of this book)
What what Fairy Tales Grimm could be concocted from these stories?
Some Spanish Gypsies went to Portugal in search of an addition to their family, preferably one who looked very different from them and spoke not a word of their language. These Gypsies spoke Portuguese and sneaked in to have a look at the reservation book. One may have had pimples which had cleared up by last year in Nerja. They spent a few days casing the apartment and decided they wanted the oldest and most difficult to carry child, and were going to treat her like a princess.
Or another story now being peddled, with an ex pat (another) in Espiche who couldn't have a child of his own, so told his brother he was going to abduct one. The wicked police were too busy eating sardines and didn't listen to the good brother when he told them about his bad brother's threat, so the bad brother carried out the evil deed.
Or, a hundred psychics rang the police and gave them a hundred sightings. Scotland Yard didn't know where to start, so they appointed their own detective who looked at all the sightings, decided they were rubbish and asked the lady who brought the tea trolley round to read his teacup. She saw a good brother and a bad brother......
I'm sure more imaginative minds can do better. Now please leave Spain out if this farce!
The only reason I found for the huge support McCanns have been receiving since May 2nd 2007 from media, from some rich uk people from the government itself and from diplomatic corridor must have been related with something that cannot be a public domain. Whatever may have happened to Madeleine worth the silence and agreement from a group of persons that have a huge interest to keep this subject in a private domain. One has to understand what kind of service is available in OC, how many from the guest list have been there before and how many from the same list have been sending money to the Fund. One good review it would be to know where were exacty every single person between May 2nd and May 3rd and what time and doing what. Credit cards, phone records, cameras would be useful. I'm not surprised to know this information was not available for police eyes when was requested. BUT if this case will be reopened all this information will be requested! This police investigation breaks every investigation rule made by the book. Firstly because gives no sheet about the most incredible sightseeing: a family that recognized Gerry carrying a child, secondly because investigates through media, releasing messages to the public in general about abduction the ONE possibility. For those that use to see UK as a functional country with separate powers might understand that in this country there's more than meets the eye and as a african third country the couple McCann walk freely in the streets, runs an investigation an tell Met police what to do. Well this could be in Africa where money, corruption and traffic of influence is a MUST! I just remember that Brian Kennedy not only has visited the witnesses but also hired a Metodo 3 and brought one of them to the Algarve police to chat... That man was sent to jail later on. All GOOD PEOPLE as you can see.
ReplyDeleteThere is at least one tapas man that chance his version of the events at least ten times? How can this be? I know why, you know why... this story smells like rotten corpse! One only has to know the real reason that caused the decay and why it should remain inaccessible to the general public. What were these couples really doing in the Ocean Club and why is this more secret than the result of an autopsy? Or both...

Thank you for the comment, the removal of the censored word doesn't change the content in the slightest.
I think my last post went whoosh. Thanks for this wonderful Portuguese poem. Who wrote it, please?

ReplyDelete(the McCanns on BBC, 2nd May)
Kate has spoken the truth, for once in her life!!!
"We NEVER wanted the case to just be reopened, straight off, we wanted a REVIEW to be conducted, and that's why we campaigned for it for 3 years, because there's no point reopeneing it if there's nothing to act on."...
Sure they don't want a reopening "straigh off", they want the reopening done stricktly under the assumption of a kidnap and nothing else! If only the hipothesis od kidnap is investigated then they will be in the clear, once and for all!

ReplyDeleteI did, so thank you for such a nice comment!
From Mccann's interview with SF tonight at RTP:
ReplyDelete- Contrary to what Mr. Redwood said, the UK review is not being done in parallel with Oporto PJ review. The two polices could be following different leads then to who the SY passed the information about the 195 new leads?
- Pedro do Carmo, the nr. 2 from PJ, was very cautious saying that they don't started their review with a pre- idea but conclusions and comments only at the end of the all proccess. Very responsible while compared with Mr Redwood who after reviewing only 25% of the files come with idea of Madeleine being abducted by a stranger and having 50% of chances to be alive.
- Kate revealing that was Murdoch who publish her book Madeleine. The involvement of that man in that case is really attonish. That goes far over any business strategy to target a good story and sale many papers.
- SF helping the Mccann's spinning their innocence. She didn't ask them face to face if they had filled the form that allows the reopening of the case in Portugal. Instead she went to London streets to inquire 3/4 people about what they think about the Mccann's and about the support given by the British government. Wonder which was the criteria to select this people because from 3/4 who were questioned, SF went on saying that almost the all UK citizens are on Mccann's side and agree with the decision of Cameron to allocate a lot of money and a huge team of polices to that case.
- not a single employer from May 2007 remain in the resort.
- the resort is closed. Will reopen at the end of this month.
- the PDL residents, Portuguese or expat believe Madeleine is death, due to an accident or to something else. They implicate the Mccann's, not a stranger.
- Gerry feeling the quality of the chair when the question was uncomfortable. Typical.
Good day !
ReplyDeleteAbout SF . She was not the only portuguese to go to London. At least i have seen another journo, i think from TVI and another (sic? ) but a man.
When SF reports (not in interview) she talks about couple´s pressure and lobby . The worst is (and will not will surprise me/us...... Pt submission) when she says with so much shamed lobby one day they will reach the reopen .......... with " abduction"!
Will be a horror movie for the Portuguese and to british do not believe them ....... all.........
