Why?


It seems that being “obsessed” with swinging is apparently off-putting but being OBSESSED with paedophilia is socially acceptable.

Why?

We refer readers to the comments section of our post “The paedo offensive” as of our comment made at 8 Mar 2018, 20:53:00.

About the “make-up” photo the debate was quite enlightening but we are still waiting to know from K9 the answers to some questions:

- Why did the Portuguese REQUEST the Gaspar statements? Who tipped them off and when? Why did the British police send them?  (“The Brit snitch”)

- Why did the Gaspars keep in touch and visit the McCanns after that holiday in Majorca in which Mrs Gaspar allegedly witnessed the conversation between David Payne and Gerry McCann? (here and here)

- Why was Mrs Gaspar unable to say to David Payne, thanks for the offer, but we bathe our own kids?

- Why would she be afraid to offend anybody by saying that?

We recommend that our post “TRUTH” be revisited.

  1. Hi Textusa - this just proves how right you are in saying that if the truth came out the MSM and Social Media would continue to push the paedophile story which the public would find more believable than the swinging one. It's already happening. I completely agree with you. Kind regards.

    1. Wistle,

      Thank you, we would say you have read the situation correctly.

      However, few noticed how Insane, on witnessing the very interesting debate between ourselves and K9 on the make-up photo, jumped at the chance to introduce something to give credibility to the death by “powerful unknown and protected British paedo”.

      In one of the comments of our post “The paedo offensive” we said this: at 5 Mar 2018, 22:23:00:
      http://textusa.blogspot.pt/2018/03/the-paedo-offensive_2.html

      “The first conclusion to take is simple. If Walkercan1000 has been shut down and Not Textusa continues to be allowed to blog, that means the other side’s reaction to Insane’s rebellion was to turn all their guns on us on social media and abandon that repugnant Walkercan1000 character on the eyes of the “outside” Maddie world.

      The reason has to do with the dogs as Not Textusa’s supposed belief in the dogs may come in handy in the future while Walkercan1000’s dissing of them is now a liability.”

      (…)

      Until the truth is outed, Not Textusa will continue to defend the reliability of the cadaver dog with that caveat that it is cadaver odour but it does not determine that it’s from the apartment and will continue silent about Keela.

      After the truth is outed, Insane will start to defend that he has always maintained that the BOTH dogs were reliable, so even though the cadaver dog doesn’t determine the body was in the apartment, Keela is the one – because he always maintained that the dogs are reliable – proving that the body had been indeed there.

      Remember this is to happen only after truth has been outed. The media will be reporting that Maddie did indeed die in that apartment so Insane will just be confirming it but boasting that he had always said it.

      However, until truth outed he best remain silent about Keela because truth may never emerge. The moment he recognises Keela the dam has burst.”

      Fascinatingly, in a post in his blog about our mental sanity because we said “We will again try to be very clear, using only a few words: the make-up picture was to tell government to lay-off Maddie. Hope that is now clear”, so nothing to do with blood, cadaver scent, dogs, time of death, or anything forensic related a VERY CONVENIENT anonymous decides to put in the following comment:
      “Anonymous 11 March 2018 at 10:06
      No matter what she says there was no blood or cadaver scent found in that apartment.”

      Please note that Insane’s blog is set for Pacific Daylight Time/Western Standard Time, which is 8 hours behind GMT. So this comment was made 11/03/2018 18:06. Just 01H08 minutes Walkercan1000’s 28 tweet splurge for 4H40 (the first 21 tweets were sent in the first 1H11).

      And a VERY CONVENIENT anonymous who really, really, really sound like Insane. No intro, no context, just blurts something unrelated out of the blue.

      To this comment, Insane replies:

      “Not Textusa 11 March 2018 at 10:12
      Well, the specialist dogs gave multiple alerts. Unless you can show that each was a false alert, we have to regard them as ''unconfirmed'' which is very different to ''incorrect''”

      He’s fighting a dog denier.

      Showing how reliable he thinks the dogs were: “you can show that each was a false alert” don’t you diss the dogs, please!

      So, again, Insane, what was it that Keela signalled?

      Delete
    2. And for some strange reason (NOT) Insane is holding back on his crude insulting. Hmmmm… why?

      Hopefully, soon, we will FINALLY be able to see him put out a theory that can be subject to scrutiny of what he believes happened to Maddie.

      If he NOW again says something like "I don't have a specific theory, I'm open to all options" then soon he won't be able to say that he ALWAYS defended that he ALWAYS thought that it was an “unknown powerful but protected British paedo”.

      He is preparing the ground to do just that though: “One theory is that Madeleine was taken by a paedophile. As that is hardly a unique set of circumstances, I cannot see what you deem unacceptable in considering that as an outcome.” (see how polite he is now??)

      K9 thinks Insane/Walkercan1000/Not Textusa are brother-in-arms. And Not Textusa is stepping forward and confirming it.

      Delete
    3. Have people noticed the coincidence of K9 writing Textusa as TextUSA or TextUsa with these words from Insane?

      “So let's see if Textusa, aka US citizen Maria Santos, will remove her lies.”

      As per our post “The reliability of the cadaver dogs”:
      https://textusa.blogspot.pt/2018/01/the-reliability-of-cadaver-dogs.html

      “And he must have spent Christmas mulling over this because on Jan 5 2018 he insisted on the issue in another post:

      “I have posted this comment to her site, but I suspect she will fail to publish it. So here it is

      "As already stated, I am not the twitter user you identify and I have no twitter presence.
      Remove your comments, Maria"

      So let's see if Textusa, aka US citizen Maria Santos, will remove her lies.”

      This is true, he did submit this comment but he lies when he says it wasn’t published.

      It was submitted at Jan 5 2018 20:17 and was published at Jan 5 2018 20:36:”

    4. One person who apparently who doesn’t see the coincidence is… K9. He gets asked:

  3. Hello Textusa,
    I am currently writing a response to your question about the Gaspar Statements, but confirm that I would not be at all offended by your publication of anyone's comments, however abusive, critical or impolite they may be. I'm well used to that sort of invective from both sides by now.

    I'm sorry for the delay, but my time is limited, as I have two children that I have to cook for, two businesses that I have to run and assorted sporting and social engagements that I have to participate in or observe.

    You are, of course, free to interpret my inconsistent capitalization of your blog's name however you want. My only defence is carelessness and a lack of attention, but it was certainly not intended to offend you.

    All the best.

      Oh, no, we INSIST. We want to hear it from YOU, FIRST (intentional use of caps).

      However, we must say we are surprised. For someone SO FAMILIAR (again, intentional) with the eventual death of Maddie McCann by a protected powerful British paedo you would promptly reply, especially about the Gaspar statements, which you have shown to be SO FAMILIAR (yes, you guessed it it was intentional again) with.

      Do take your time. We hope you are able to organise it and not get distracted with other things, outside those you mentioned above and those are not distractions.

    Attorney General receives “new theory” in disappearance of Madeleine McCann

    A team of independent investigators working over the last decade has come up with what it believes happened to Madeleine McCann.

    Just as the British Home Office is reported to be considering a new request by Metropolitan Police for the funding of its long-running Operation Grange investigation, the theory has landed on the desk of Portugal’s Attorney General.

    It is explosive, it does not work to the accepted timeline, and it does not involve Portuguese gypsies or Eastern European child smugglers.

    The objective of the 20-page letter, translated into Portuguese, is to prompt judicial authorities towards a reinvestigation.

    Explains one the group’s principal spokespeople - a retired Nottinghamshire police superintendent - “it is important that people follow this logically, and without preconceptions, however shocking the conclusion may seem”.

    “There is strong evidence, for example, that the famous Pool Photo was not taken on Thursday 3rd as was claimed.

    “Weather reports, personal diaries, and many hundreds of photos on sites such as Flickr show that Thursday lunchtime was overcast and there was a cold Force 4 wind”.

    The retired police officer is convinced that the mystery is “a very simple sad story” that for reasons unclear has been hopelessly muddled up.

    As to why this may be the case, his response was a prememptory: “No Comment”.

    “Any answers I give at this point would be personal opinions not based on facts or knowledge and therefore best avoided”, he said.

    “It might be, after all, that the findings have "got through" and that a final answer is just around the corner.

    “The last FOI (Freedom of Information) report from Grange stated there had been flights to Portugal in 2017:

    “To date there have been 2 return flights to Portugal this year.

    “In March three officers flew to Portugal at a total cost of £750 - whilst in May 2 officers flew to Portugal, costs being £500.

    “To do WHAT ?

    “How many of these had we heard about ?

    “And don't forget that the CPS lawyers visited Portugal to speak to counterparts a couple of years ago . . .”

    Thus for now, the team that calls itself the Madeleine McCann Research group waits.

    The letter was sent on March 6 and has been tracked as having reached its destination.

    Said one of the group’s members: “We can only hope the authorities take notice. If our findings get published in the Portuguese media, the authorities might be obliged to make an official statement and it might get reported in the UK.

    “And then things finally might be able to move forwards…”

  5. Hello Textusa,

    I'm not quite sure what the point of your messages is.

    Yes, I have been careless and erratic with my capitalizations, although I believe that I have spelt your name correctly since @SadeElisha86 pointed out the error of my ways at 11:37am on March 12th.

    And so?

    Maybe you want to weave some theory about my identity around my inconsistent use of caps? Go ahead, I'm sure you have the time to do so if you want to. However, trust me, it would not be very dignified and sensible to descend into the sort of paranoia that seems to beset so many disbelievers of the McCann jackanory. I can assure you that not only Not Textusa but also the "antis" who know my identity would find it more than amusing.

    Am I trying to save you from ridicule? Yes. There is a lot of common ground, and maybe even a shared friend or two, beween us.

    I have signaled my willingness to enter into a civilized discussion with you and would be happy to repeat here my Twitter apology for any intemperate language that I may have used.

    However, my time and patience are limited, so I would be disinclined to continue this discusssion if I feel that my good faith and good will are not being reciprocated.

    All the best

    7. Implied question from K9:

      “I would still be open to considering any evidence of swinging in the PJ files aside from high staff/guest ratios, rumours + Amy Tierney's alleged tweet.”

      Our answer:

      http://textusa.blogspot.pt/2014/04/why-swing.html

      http://textusa.blogspot.pt/2014/02/swinging-evidence.html

      https://twitter.com/pennygeer/status/726778251306242048
      Which we screengrabbed and have put in our post “The game continues”
      https://textusa.blogspot.pt/2017/09/the-game-continues.html

      We could say a lot of things about what K9 says in that implied question with “aside from high staff/guest ratios”, rumours + Amy Tierney's alleged tweet”. We won’t.

      We will gladly do so AFTER he answers the questions about the Gaspar statements. Diverting from a topic shows that one is trying to run away from it.

      This means that outside what we have asked, until we get a clear and straightforward answer from K9 as to what he has been asked, we will not accept any other challenges or questions off-topic. Our lack of response to them does not mean avoiding them but keeping the pressure on what he was asked to answer.

      To be very clear, we want to know what his opinion is as to why did the PJ request the Gaspar statements and why he thinks were the reasons for the Gaspars to continue to interact with the McCanns after the alleged creepy conversation reeking with paedophilia between Gerry and David and why he thinks were the reasons for Mrs Gaspar to allow David Payne to bathe her kids after that conversation reeking with paedophilia.

      We want the answers to the very objective questions above, we don’t want “a full examination of the evidence of paedophilia in the case and of the significance of the way that it has been handled and presented by the British police + media”.

      He can do that separately (apparently he’s not that short of time) and publish that wherever he wants.

      About the PJ requesting, we remind readers that on Sept 30 2016 he agreed fully with our conclusions of our post “The Brit snitch”:

  8. To our readers,

    We are perfectly aware that the “debate” between us and K9 may be quite off-putting.

    And it may even seem unimportant. It’s not. It’s very important that it takes place (although we should say took, as it seems that t is over but what has been written has been very helpful and informative).

    K9, a person who has on the banner of his Twitter handle the phrase “Why does the UK media never mention the Gaspar Statements in the McCann case?” is unable to answer promptly questions that we supposed he should have asked himself before he decided to “believe” that paedophilia was THE secret being defended in the Maddie case.

    As we have said, we believe he knows the answers to the many questions as to who is being protected and why.

    Even though we have put our focus on him, we are aware that we are not talking to him alone. Others are (were) helping him and many others on his side of the fence are (were) reading what is being (was) said.

    It was not by coincidence that Walkercan1000 resurfaced after having been in silence for 12 days and 15 hours to briefly tweet about nothing that would appear to the common eye as important for 4H40 minutes and submerged again and has been holding his breath now for 2 days and 22 hours.

    These are critical times. Very critical times indeed.

    Not only because of the hostility the blog has been receiving lately, reminding us of those 2008/2009 days but because we feel there are winds brewing and gathering up for a storm.

    K9 alleges he doesn’t have time but is able to find it to continue to spread paedophilia on the Maddie case, which serves the agenda of some, like this one:

    The McCanns' Abuse of Power: Dr David Payne, Woodland Hospital, Kettering, didn't want to tell the Police what he knew about Madeleine McCann's death - and still hasn't to this day #McCann …http://gerrymccan-abuseofpower-humanrights.blogspot.ie/2017/03/dr-david-payne-woodland-hospital.html?m=1 …
    4:35 pm - 13 Mar 2018

    Unless we are talking about a different Payne, we believe that this “Dr David Payne, Woodland Hospital, Kettering” was heard by both the Portuguese and the British police. So what police force is there which he didn’t want to speak to? If he didn’t want to tell them the truth, that just means he has a guilty conscience and not that he has a conscience filled with paedophilia related guilt.

    We would like to point out that 3 of the T9 are practising consultants in the U.K.

    Are those like K9, who believe paedophilia was involved suggesting that the government are covering up and allowing them unfettered access to patients?

    Please note that the blog does NOT condemn the exposure ( we fully support it) of any crime of paedophilia.

    Our blog is well aware of child abuse and exploitation in the U.K. One of the team has had professional involvement in the past and would never minimise such serious crimes and why we are very careful when speaking about Yvonne Martin and her participation in the case.

    Who we do condemn are the people who point to paedophilia as a possible reason for Maddie’s death when they know full well that was not the case.

    We condemn people who deceiving alert to an apple problem in the bottom of the ocean instead of an orchard, with the intent of seeing people dive looking for them and because they can’t be found, create a new Atlantis.

    In other words, mystify Maddie away from the truth.

Since the british government is falling over their feet to please them at every turn, so that they keep their mouths shut and the knowledge they harbour secret, they feel safe. They were absent when the PJ investigated, those deeply involved who wouldn't even consider being present for a modelling of their own words of that so called abduction on that evening is in itself, an obstruction of the police's work and an indication they knew the child is dead.

    4. Anne Guedes,

      We know that we are far from being alone.

      On Twitter one can literally circle around 4 names who matter.

      There’s a fifth element, who up to now we have no reason to believe s/he is on the game.

      Our evaluation about that fifth element is that s/he is what we call a paedo-nutter. The people who can only find reasonable for the entire UK establishment to allow itself getting caught up in such a monstrous and enormous lie has to be paedophilia.

      Not all those who disagree with us are minions from the other side.

      These people will have it no other way. Maddie has to have been killed by a paedo. Nothing shown to them will alter their opinion.

      On the swinging theory they will put a “but” whenever the word but is used in it but when shown a thousand buts on the paedophilia theory they will overlook ALL of them. Find the anything remotely plausible for some, the most far-fetched reasons for others and just tell themselves “there has to be a reason that is not known but I’m certain is there”.

      Usually it’s infamous “unpublished PJ files” that don’t exist that take the blame.
      http://textusa.blogspot.pt/2012/01/debunking-urban-myths-unpublished-pj.html

      For them, when they say that swinging does it do it for them, they do mean it and we know they do (and the other side minions jump on the chance and exploit it fully). But it’s in a sense of if and when they realise that it has all been about swinging they will react with a “What????? You mean you %&$&#$ put the entire UK through this level of embarrassment because of your &#%$&# reputations???? Are you kidding me????? You selfish arrogant %$#/&%$#!!!”

      To the 4 names that we have placed in “in-the-know” circle, we seem to be having another person peeping in way above the parapet. Too early to come to any conclusion about that person for now, will continue to observe.

      So, 4 to 5 people, some of which show little activity, are not that many.

      Just fierce fighters in disarray.

  10. Is K9 making excuses to his/her paymaster because s/he didn’t really post a reply? Blaming Textusa for not posting it and so publicly? If it was a genuine comment it would have been submitted after typing a fairly short comment into the comments box so would have been with reference to available notes OR if longer cut and pasted from notes, either was easy to repeat the comment. All the excuses of lack of time and list of family duties is pathetic as the time spent doing that takes just as much time.

    1. It’s quite hard to understand how can anybody say we’re trying to get McCanns off the hook when we point finger at either Kate McCann or David Payne causing the accident that cost Maddie her life?

      We say Maddie died in the apartment, the dogs were accurate, the T9 lied in their statements and the McCanns were implicated in her disposal. Even if not directly. How is that letting them off the hook?

      Whereas setting the scene for an archival with no result, with the scream - it’s a paedophile cover -up would suit those who were part of the swinging scene on that holiday, whilst leaving the stain of suspicion hanging over only the T9.

      And 3 consultants let loose on the public.

      Those who keep repeating the obvious – that swinging is legal – appear to be living in a parallel universe in which, for example, a judge could sit, sentencing people, with all of those in the court aware of his/her legal sexual habits.

      Or, using another example, a universe where a headteacher wouldn’t have any problems facing the tittering pupils and outraged parents.

      The minority wouldn’t care. The majority we have no doubt would.

    1. Anonymous 15 Mar 2018, 16:51:00,

      We have said that we have a comment submitted by an identified reader that we haven’t published because we insist that we get a response from K9, which we have repeatedly pointed out he has failed to deliver.

      It seems his extremely tight schedule which was the major impediment he presented for not responding, has since allowed him to tweet frequently.

      But we have had someone answering to our Gaspar questions elsewhere. Insane in his padded-up cell in which he locked his Not Textusa character in and where he’s frenetically jumping up at the window desperate for someone to notice him.

      This is what he had to say:
      “Let's have a little reminder of the questions you INSIST K9 answers
      [quoting us] - Why did the Portuguese REQUEST the Gaspar statements? Who tipped them off and when? Why did the British police send them? (“The Brit snitch”)
      - Why did the Gaspars keep in touch and visit the McCanns after that holiday in Majorca in which Mrs Gaspar allegedly witnessed the conversation between David Payne and Gerry McCann? (here and here)
      - Why was Mrs Gaspar unable to say to David Payne, thanks for the offer, but we bathe our own kids?
      - Why would she be afraid to offend anybody by saying that? [end of quoting us]
      In order to answer these questions, K9 would require:
      1. Information on the PJ investigation which is not in the public arena
      2. Information on the UK police investigation which is not in the public arena
      3. Information from Mrs Gaspar on her thoughts and decision-making process which is not in the public arena
      What you REALLY want is K9's opinions and outright speculation, so you can see if they fall into line with yours.
      I would never presume to advise K9 on what to reply, but my response would be to tell you to fuck off. If you are so keen on getting answers, answer the fucking questions yourself. The necessity of invention has never slowed you down before.”

      First, we note that he’s back to swearing. Really back. That tells us he’s given up putting on a more respectable figure for this particular persona.
      We are not certain if it’s loss of hope or just uncontrolled rage but our friends who peep through the little window of the door of his cell, say it is indeed well padded and they cannot read which way he’s shrieking.

      Then, it’s interesting to note that a pro-McCann defender when watching 2 alleged antis “fighting” or fighting, instead of sitting back and enjoying the show, takes the side of one of the participants.

      We are not surprised.

      Basically, one tells Insane “swinging” and he goes… insane and gets into a raging fit. One tells him “paedophilia” and he puts hand under chin and surprise, considers it a valid possibility.

      This is Insane (leaving out the swearing):

      Swinging – What??? Ludicrous!! Disgraceful even to think of it! Absurd! Laughable, you’re out of your rocker!! So nonsensical I can’t stop laughing!!! What utter rubbish, the garbage man wouldn’t touch it for a million pounds! You are sick, disgusting and deranged!!!

    For the sake of clarity, the Gaspar-statements-all-knowing-tweeter K9 deceives again.

    David Payne couldn’t sue for evidence given to the police as witnesses.

    It was made public against all expectation. The Gaspars didn’t make it public.

    In fact, we are certain that if many of those who gave statements to the PJ even dreamed that the PJ Files would be made public would never, ever gone to the PJ and said what they did.

    By the way, the Gaspar-statements-all-knowing-tweeter K9, who refuses to answer our questions about those same Gaspar statements.

Not to mention that the health service who have the real powers when it comes to child protection would also cover it up by letting paedophiles work with patients. However I wanted to comment on what you said about had those who gave statements even dreamt that they would have been made public they would never have said what they said. Isn't that so true, sometimes reading through some of the statements I cringe for these people. They really were sold a pup, they knew what they were doing was wrong, most of their statements give indication of real embarrassment almost to the point of sounding like people with limited education. Yet they done it thinking once it was said it would be left in a file somewhere never to see the light of day when the case was closed. How powerful must the people be who provided this assurance to them.

    That’s very true- IF it was confined within that group. But what you are saying it’s precisely because the activities in PdL were not confined to that small group and that people of higher prestige were also involved.

Tptb have done a great job pushing the predator theory some forums just go round and round talking about a high level paedophile ring that's being protected. They talk about wanting and searching for the truth yet they stick in the same rut repeating the same theories over and over again. I openly admit I get annoyed and frustrated that like the McCann's they cannot deviate from the story, it reminds me of the Borg collective from star trek one says it then the rest repeat.

Here is one example, there are many more http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2208117/The-sex-offender-doctors-allowed-working-Dozens-banned-case-breaches-human-rights.html

    Secondly, why the insistence on paedophilia OR swinging? One needn't necessarily preclude the other.

      Swinging clearly and absolutely excludes paedophilia. All you have to do is go online and you can see that swinging has very strict ruling.

      Swinging is about exploring the pleasure of having multiple ADULT sexual partners, which between consensual partners we see as personal option.

      Nepiophilia is about exploring the pleasure of inflicting pain on an infant, which is a disgusting crime.

      Swingers are interested in other adults. We have no knowledge of any cases where known swingers were prosecuted for sexual offences against children.

      About doctors and paedophilia, we are aware of these types of cases and think it’s deplorable that they are allowed to continue working, but none of these cases involve the death of a child.

      We are saying that the Gaspar statements are no basis for assuming paedophilia was at the heart of the circumstances surrounding Madeleine’s death.

      What we are questioning is whether those involved in the cover -up would allow a doctor who was involved in the death of a child to continue working, and those who supported him to do so , if all 3 were also involved in active paedophilia?

  23. Where did I say swinging involved paedophilia?
    I didn't. Both could have happened, none the less.

    You said "We would like to point out that 3 of the T9 are practising consultants in the U.K. Are those like K9, who believe paedophilia was involved suggesting that the government are covering up and allowing them unfettered access to patients?" I pointed out that doctors who are paedophiles can and do work in the NHS. You then moved the goalposts by inserting the dead child.

    1. Marsha,

      We believe Maddie is dead.

      We made the assumption and maybe we shouldn’t have done. that by linking the case to paedophilia, you also believe she is dead.

      We believe those covering up know she is dead.

      So we haven’t moved the goalposts by adding death, just pointing out that the examples you sent us, deplorable as they are, do not involve death.

      Because of these deplorable cases of doctors being allowed to continue working in their profession, it adds credibility to those who claim paedophilia is at the heart of the Maddie case.

      We should all work to oppose this happening where we can. One of the team has raised just such an objection to the employment of a particular doctor, who is no longer working for the hospital who employed him.

  24. Are we assuming that GP's committed paedophilic crimes in 2007 with prior knowledge they would still be practising medicine 10 years later; that their status meant they could do what they liked with impunity; that fellow GPs etc would turn a blind eye? What passes for present-day law in the UK is surely a different matter to the mind-set in PDL at the time. The Maddie case IS about the death of a child. It is not inserted into the narrative. It's the main narrative. Why and under what circumstances it happened and why the cover up.

  25. There are ex-murderers working in the community that have done their time also...

  26. Do you have evidence, apart from the cover up, that "those present perceived (MMC's death) as an imminent danger to their reputations" ?

    Tomás Taveira ! An old story that illustrates how revelations on private life disperse in a few days. The only thing I remember is what my neighbour told me (and she would never have told before the "scandal" emerged), because that shocked me. TT had a special video room for porno stuff and encouraged his son and my neighbour's son to watch with him.

    1. Anne Guedes,

      “Do you have evidence, apart from the cover up, that "those present perceived (MMC's death) as an imminent danger to their reputations" ?”

      We think the cover-up is sufficient evidence. For some reason the T9, the Ocean Club and on that night some of the resident British immigrants of Luz, decided to embark on a lie.

      “Tomás Taveira ! An old story that illustrates how revelations on private life disperse in a few days. “

      No, it didn’t. And you are the proof of it. I just mentioned the name and your memory picked his name up and not because he was Amoreira’s architect.

      You immediately made the connection between his name and the sexual scandal in which he was involved.

      Yes, he disappeared and that is exactly the point. To how many high society events has he and his wife been invited to since the scandal (which was in the 80s)?

      How many articles have they appeared in the Portuguese “Pink magazines”?

      His reputation was disgraced. He went from one day to the next from being a prominent member of the cream of society to be a pariah.

      You may not care but those who matter in their lives, do and act on it.

    2. Textusa, you made me remember, through the context, not the TT scandal but that there was one. What I and likely others were told was the hideous kick of the donkey to the fallen lion, as we say in French.
      In another context I would have remembered a friend of mine who was well paid to have (interesting) conversations in French with TT.
      Finally, every time I pass the Amoreiras I remember them being built and who was the main architect.
      So I don't think I proved that TT was marked for life. But I reckon that the Lisbon "good" society might have rejected him.

    3. Anne Guedes,

      Agree that I disregarded context in my reply. That would indeed be enough to trigger your memory the way it did.

      However, without having any proof other than a personal perception, if the name Taveira is mentioned to a Portuguese person, it's more likely that the person will remember him because of the video and not because of Amoreiras.
