The Pythia Syndrome

“You keep saying that you were all, your blog included, masterfully used, abused and exploited, so I suppose when you realized that it made you angry…”

“On the contrary, dear, you know, one should never cease to recognize excellence when one happens to come across it, even if one sees it in one’s adversary, which was the case. I must say, the way we were manipulated neared perfection.”

“You almost sound like you enjoyed getting beaten…”

“There’s no shame in losing as long as one has fought with all one’s strengths and one’s convictions, and when one is defeated on such terms then one can claim the laurels that time will reward one with.

History is filled with heroic defeats and in most of them the victor has little or no relevance.

Besides, we didn’t lose anything as I’ve told you it was a war that was never ours to lose. The Great Maddie War (GMW) was between the BHs themselves and between the whole lot of them and time.

Besides, if you insist on interpreting me saying that I was manipulated with me saying I lost, is there any shame losing a game to a chess grandmaster? No, it was a privilege to have been able to play against him.

We were the pawns in that game and it was just a sheer delight to see how well we were played!”

“Pawns?”

“Never underestimate the power of the pawn as there’s no other piece on the board that is as selfless and that can change the outcome in just that moment when it transforms and becomes something else including the powerful Queen.

A pawn is the most often sacrificed piece on the board and always for higher interests than its own so that makes it simply the noblest piece of all.

Like the pawns we are, we citizens, should never, ever, lose sight of our dignity and our importance, and sometimes we do just that.

At Textusa we’ve tried to remind people of that fact.

What differentiates people is their spine verticality and not the colour of their blood, which, by the way, is red in all cases, although some do think wrongly that money or a family name alters that fact.”

“Now I’m really confused. You say you were pawns in trenches filled up with deceiving BHs in a war that wasn’t yours to win?!? Where is the sense in that?!?”

“First get your analogies right, you either say soldiers in trenches with BHs right next to us and using an identical uniform or say pawns in a chess game where “white” pieces were black ones with just a coat of paint.”

“But that means you were being fooled most of the time!”

“Yes, that is correct. Not most of the time but up to a certain point of time. No shame in admitting that.”

“When was that?”

“That’s something I have to still decide if I’m ever to reveal. But I can tell you it was much before the “Last Call” post.

As I told you yesterday, Textusa was a late comer.

I was quite confused when I started reading blogs in the early days, as they seemed to hate each other more than the McCanns, who I thought were the supposed wrongdoers!

I soon became suspicious of them, but couldn't work out who were what we call BHs.

Then reality dawned on me but having that knowledge did me no good as I couldn’t use it, so I played the dumb blond.”

“Why couldn’t you use it?”

“Because they had glorified the fake WH to a point that if one went even slightly against their dogmatic truth it was considered that one was committing nothing short of the worst possible blasphemous heresy.

Look how much flak the blog took in exposing Mrs Fenn, and it didn’t come from the expected sources. Remember how many “I just can’t see why she…” did we read?

And because they “couldn’t see IT”, IT couldn’t be. That simple and dogmatic.

There was an overall deceit. It had to be that way to have us all convinced into pointing our guns to empty trenches like we did for so long!

You say we were fooled, I say we were masterfully played.

Once understood what really was going on it became quite amusing to watch.

I grew quite fond of the word “pretendy”. As in “pretendy” friends, “pretendy” enemies, “pretendy” fights, “pretendy” fall outs… you name it and you just had put a “pretendy” behind it to quickly understand the developments of the game.

My favorite? The “pretendy” ego-fight.

Delicious to watch people seemingly fighting for importance and recognition and then “falling out” when it was all but a justification for a change of “status” of one of the parties.

A true world of make-belief because it was indeed to make you believe in it!

But you know what? At the end of the day, it all comes down to how each one of us manages our own conscience.

Each one of us is only able to act according to what each one’s conscience dictates.

We all carry our burden of sins but if there’s a thing we all know is that person who we all see on the other side of the mirror will never go away.

In my case, as that person and I share the same conscience, I try to keep it as clear as possible.

Doing some things only denotes lack of conscience and, honestly, we’ve come across some people who sure seem like they’ve forgotten to pick up that particular item when they came into this life.”

“You seem to have spotted many…”

“Well, we do hope we’ve spotted them all, or at least the most relevant ones. We keep our opinions to ourselves on who our opponents are and enjoy observing their tactics.

Many, I’m sure, are wondering today if they have been caught out or not, but that’s their problem, not mine.”

“Their problem?”

“It’s a matter in the area of personal conscience. Waiting for a person with no conscience to gain one through your words is as intelligent calling someone stupid.

The stupid, because they’re stupid, don’t know they’re stupid and will fail to comprehend, irrelevant of the ways and times one explains and the “pretendy” stupid know it to be a false statement so one is being stupid just for having said it.

The same, or almost, goes with people with no conscience. It won’t be by one’s words that will make them have one.

On the contrary, when you tell a conscienceless person s/he has no conscience what you end up doing is triggering a defensive mechanism whereby s/he will come up with the most shameless of explanations to justify having done what they did when they knew very well how wrong they were when they did it.

People with no conscience will never be sorry for what they’ve done. Sorrow is a sentiment they’re only able to feel when they’re caught out and that’s because they regret not having been able to fly under the radar and not because the harm they have eventually caused.

But not all BHs are devoid of conscience, much to the contrary, it’s what has tormented them all these years into being resilient BHs.”

“Explain please…”

“Well, you have to understand the diversity and the heterogenic nature of what constitutes what we now call BHs.

I’ve taken 4 days to explain to you the macro-picture of the Maddie Affair, right?”

“Right”

“Now within that big overall picture you have hundreds of personal stories and different kinds of motivations.

For starters you have two major groups within the Black Hats, the defensive and the offensive groups.”

“Offensive, defensive?”

“Ok, let’s look at the players involved. You have basically two sets of people, the T9 and the others.

The difference between them is that it’s within the T9 that lies the secret as to how Maddie died. We know that, but most importantly the “others” do too.

Let’s be really benevolent with all involved and let’s suppose all of them want to do right thing. Note the present tense, please.”

“Ok”

“So imagine that within the Tapas 9 whoever had responsibility for Maddie’s death had wanted to own up on that night, could they have done so?”

“See no reason as to why not… no wait, if they did that the risk of exposing the apple tree would be too great, so, no, they couldn’t!”

“That’s right! Not saying that is what happened mind you, just raising all reasonable possibilities because that is what we must continuously do.

The others, or the Guests, Ocean Club and the Event’s Organizers, “forced” the forging of the child’s death because “higher interests”, theirs, were at stake.

They knew that what they were doing in that week wasn’t illegal It just wouldn’t be “accepted” by the general public if it ever happened to be known. But they knew that to assure that didn’t happen what they decided to do was illegal.

So you have these two groups, the first, even if it wanted, couldn’t own up because the other wouldn’t allow it.

As I’ve repeatedly said in the blog, swingers are absolutely normal people who find pleasure in expressing their sexuality in a different way which they’re absolutely entitled to. They’re not perverted or evil.

Due to the exclusive nature of the event happening in Praia da Luz, this particular group of swingers was of made up of upper class people.

That’s a very important characteristic about this particular group. If society was a cake made up of a hundred layers the people in this group belonged to the top-half of the top layer.

We’re talking about 0,5% of the population of any country, around 310,000 people in Britain, 50,000 in Portugal, although as far as we understand there weren’t any Portuguese involved in this particular swinging event.

This means many things.

First of all that they’re people who’ve succeeded in the cruelest world of all, the world of success. They’re used to having their own way and in getting what they want. The concept of hearing a no for an answer is unknown to them.

Secondly that their success makes them look at the rest of society as one enormous unhygienic herd whose sole purpose in life should be to look up to them in permanent jubilation about their success. This success, which may have the most diverse origins such as commercial, intellectual or artistic, is always translated in worldly possessions, or in a clearer terminology, as material wealth. We should bow at their passage and aren’t even worthy of breathing the same air they do. Literally the XXI’s Century’s nobility.

Thirdly that this class-centric, or elitist, aspect in the way they look at life makes them tend to overlook the sins of their own "pack", finding these little “peccadilloes” to be quaint or even amusing. All of them know some sort of little secret about everyone else but these excesses are not only tolerated but accepted.

Fourthly and last but not least, that they’re people with the right and powerful connections, for all them share, as I said just now, a commonality of sinfulness. Not saying they all sin the same way but that they all do sin so more than just accepted the sins are defended.

They tend to protect their own kin, fiercely. They very quickly close ranks and protect each other in the best “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” style.

Now you have this particular group of upper class people, who have on their conscience that the death of a little girl is to go without justice. It’s one heavy burden to carry around, especially when one is witnessing the glorification of those who should be constricting themselves!

What has happened is that to appease their own guilty conscience they, and their friends, have set on crusade to bring the McCanns to justice.

A very fierce and determined crusade. They are the BH on the offensive. The Tapas, including the McCanns but not limited to them, are the ones defending, literally, their lives. 

BHs fighting for their lives against other BHs set on the fiercest crusade against them.”

“That’s good, no?”

“It would be if they sought justice. By wanting only an amalgamated collation of specifically selected parts of both justice and truth they not only achieve neither but hinder further the finding of both.

It’s a common fact that the worst lie is a half-truth and they certainly don’t even want half the truth to come out. 

They just want the part that incriminates the McCanns and the Tapas. Which, by the way, we believe it have been the whole truth back in the early evening of may 3rd, 2007, but that at the end of that same evening no longer was with the “abduction” decision.

They want the best of two worlds, truth and justice, but only the best as in their best interest. It’s a greedy want…”

“You can’t be on good terms with the devil and God simultaneously they say…”

“Exactly, they don’t seek justice as they don’t want the whole truth to be revealed but only those parts that interest them, which they think will cleanse their soul and wash away the “blood” from their hands.

But it won’t as it’s a task with as much chance of success as the SY Review as no matter how much they wash it away there will always be traces of guilt.

They have the Apartment 5A as an example. It was meticulously cleaned, maybe too meticulously, and still the dogs found compromising traces.

It’s one stain impossible to remove because they’re overlooking the fact that the only crime it proved to have happened is the one they committed, together with the McCanns and the remainder T9, a crime with implications and ramifications well beyond the crime scene.”

“The Apartment 5A?”

“Oh no, not only the apartment. The crime scene was all over Praia da Luz. That’s where we’re certain the crime of perverting the course of justice by unlawfully disposing of, destroying or concealing a body was committed.

The only crime we’re certain to have happened inside Apartment 5A is that of obstruction of justice which was what the meticulous cleaning was in reality.

We’re not even sure if it was there that the abduction theory was concocted and about Maddie’s death, fatal accidents are an unfortunate often recurring reality worldwide.

And what has happened now is that you have a group of people who never in their lives thought of becoming what they’ve become: criminals. Obstructing justice is a crime and we all know it is.

And this group of people, albeit their collective class-centricity and their multiple egocentricities, have collectively gone bad, some even to the point of evilness.

They’ve made their crime worse with each passing day by involving more and more people and institutions into the mess.

And worst of all, they’ve resourced the public persecution of two people, Goncalo Amaral and Tony Bennett. I don’t know if it was the result of a scare-tactic campaign that went out of control but whatever it was, a lot of money has been spent in deliberately harming two people who all know are just believers of truth and justice.

And because we at Textusa have worked on unveiling the whole truth to seek justice without absolutely any restrictions we’ve been cast with a kind of Pythia Syndrome.”

“The what?”

“The Pythia Syndrome. Something I have just invented. Like Pythia we’re said to be, by the “out-of-the-closet” BHs, tin-foil hatted, barking mad and under effect of hallucinogenic mushrooms and by the other BHs, or as we like to call them, “WH”, to be rogue with a writing style that is but an incomprehensible, infinitely long and pointless gibberish.

For example, check out this comment we've just received:

“Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Fearless":

Your obsession with the non-existent "Insane" is symbolic of your obsession with a non-existent "cover up of unseen proportions and scope".

I'm not the poster in question, but I remember the post from which you started calling the person "Insane". It was clear from the context that "insane" was a comment on one of your batty posts, not a signature, but now you have devoted a considerable proportion of your home page building up this non-existent persona. Someone somewhere must be laughing their a**e off.

Posted by Anonymous to Textusa at Feb 22, 2013, 11:38:00 PM”

You can't imagine the times we've been threatened by that terrible threat that a group of unknown people will be laughing at us. I think only kids at school are affected by that taunt. We sometimes get a version of - my dad's bigger than your dad too!

The Pythia of Greece delivered Oracles. The usual theory has been that the Pythia delivered oracles in a frenzied state induced by vapors rising from a chasm in the rock, and that she spoke gibberish which priests interpreted as the enigmatic prophecies preserved in Greek literature

Basically she was considered bonkers, a fantasist, very much like Textusa has been considered by many renowned “White Hats”. A basic but powerful tool to subconsciously implant a negative image of us, keeping people from coming to read the blog and those who do to have a bad impression before they even “set a foot” in our blog.

People use those derogatory adjectives for some reason, which I think are personal. They don’t want the whole truth out there but do want to see "justice", their justice, served.”

“Truth can’t be tailored to one’s desire!”

“Try telling them that. Anyhow what they forget is that labeling us with a sort of a Pythia Syndrome they’re actually paying us a huge compliment.”

“By transforming insult into a compliment?”

“No, we don’t need to transform anything. Their insult is really a compliment. A big one at that.

Pythia was said to be mad, but a mad seer. It was indeed said she spoke gibberish but it’s also a commonly accepted fact that she was a very important Oracle to the Greeks.

Some recent scholars maintain she spoke coherently. What may seem gibberish to some but makes perfect sense to others.

In our case the fact they make an extra effort in shouting as loudly as they can into the seven winds, as the Portuguese say, that we speak nothing but gibberish only tells us what they’re trying to do is give their best to avoid others seeing the perfect sense we’re making.”

“You, an oracle… never thought I was marrying one! And what does the “oracle” foresee as the outcome of all this mess?”

“Well, I don’t know. As I’ve been saying, the Maddie Affair has had the following crucial milestones:

- May 3rd, 2007, in which Maddie died and in which the decision to go for the abduction theory was taken;

- Uncertain date, most likely in June 2007, in which Maddie’s body was disposed of and in which it was “decided” to go after the McCanns;

- September 17th, 2007, in which it was reluctantly accepted that it was impossible to bring down the McCanns without involving others and in which it was decided to launch the largest demotivational campaign the world has ever seen, using all platforms through which communications flowed.

- May 12th, 2011, on which the decision was implemented to go after the McCanns again. Notice I don’t say it was a renewed attempt as the only thing in common with the decision made in 2007 is the McCanns, as those who took the decisions and the motives with which they made the decision were completely different in 2010/2011.

- Uncertain day, uncertain month, uncertain year, in which SY will present the results of their Review..

The last milestone will be, obviously, the most important one and the one history will register.

We believe that the presentation will be more of an anti-presentation, something of the sort that the 195 new leads lead nowhere and the case is to remain archived and due to its sensitive nature the SY report will not be released publicly.”

“That will be a scandal!!”

“What do you want me to tell you? Haven’t you noticed how the whole world has turned upside down on Maddie’s world?

Not all ethylene gas emissions from all geologic chasms in the earth that supposedly caused the Pythia's state of inspiration to "connect with the divine" could anyone see any sense in all of this or be able to predict with probable causality the future on this matter besides what I’ve just told you we think will happen.

Anything different from what we,  the "Oracle", predicted on Feb 17th, last year, will surprise us.”
