Truth as Clue

“Are we going to speak about the Black Hat Gangs?”

“To understand the idiosyncrasies of the various BH Gangs you must first understand the mechanics and complexities of Factual Truth.”

“Is that a trick question?”

“No, and soon I hope you’ll be chewing on those very words...”

“Knowing you, I should go get a napkin...”

“Imagine truth as a block. A solid stone block. Like this:

Now don’t confuse this block with Maddie’s Cube. That Cube is much, much more complex. The truth block is but a part of it.

The Factual Truth which is immutable. It’s a series of objective events and circumstances that did happen and produced an outcome. Nothing can change that.

What is mutable are the various interpretations one can make out of Factual Truth. 

If one is not with ill-intent, these interpretations are based on logic, coherence and feasibility. 

If one intends to mislead then one can say that rock is made out of water. But by claiming that, however repeatedly, it doesn’t change the rock from being a rock nor does it change water into being rock, does it?”

“No.”

“And no matter how much they claim that water is rock, water will never be rock.

There’s only one reason, and one reason alone, for one to manipulate truth and that is because there’s a reason that makes one do that. 

To those who have no said reason then truth is the most exquisite object to contemplate as it’s the only fountain able to genuinely quench curiosity’s thirst.

Basically there are two forms to manipulate truth and that is either by distortion or by omission.

One can distort either by addition or by replacement.

Distorting by addition is to add events to the truth that have nothing to do with it. That way the observer loses sight of the dimensions and contours of truth and so make the wrong assumptions when drawing conclusions from it.

Freemasonry and paedophilia are the two most common distortion themes by addition.”

“Right. And by replacement?”

“Distorting by replacement would be for one to chip off one of the corners and replace that part of the block with some sort of “replica”.

For example, in Maddie's case, we believe that dinners took place downtown at Chaplin’s. That reality has been replaced with the fictitious Tapas dinners.

Why? Because dinners at Chaplin’s would mean that the children were being taken care of by OC Staff which would make abduction impossible.

When one resorts to distortion, one wants to divert the attention away from something as one not only doesn’t want that specific part of the block to be seen but also intends to deceive by showing a “complete” block when in fact a part of it has nothing to do with the original.

It has the inconvenience of being able to be spotted and seen for the lie it really is. And once the suspicion of falsehood sets in it will forever hover over the block even if the fake corner is removed and the rightful one returned.

To manipulate truth by omission is just to chip away that corner and present the block without it. This achieves a very interesting effect and that is to lie by saying only the truth.

“What?”

“Look at the block with the chopped off corner. All that one sees is true. There’s not a shred of lie about it.

It only isn’t the whole block, the whole truth but, by omission, one can speak about the subject with full conscience that one isn’t lying about it!

One is just not basing the argument on the whole truth, that's it. The part left out is what is not to be known.

That missing bit may, or may not, be relevant but will always alter the dimensions of the block which basically means that one is looking at a part of it thinking that one is looking at the whole thing.

That’s the difference between omission and distortion. In distortion one introduces falsehood while in omission one simply prays that whatever one is hiding is not found.

Knowing this, we can now define what is a Black Hat.”

“And what is then a Black Hat?”

“A Black Hat is someone who has consciously manipulated truth, by distortion or omission, with the intent of having Factual Truth remain unknown.”

“Shouldn’t you have the word “voluntarily” in that definition?”

“No, many BHs were dragged into the mess and had no say about it. Either by the events or for having to follow orders. But once in the mess, they had no choice but to go with the flow to save their reputation.”

“That then makes it to be a lot of people, doesn’t it?”

“Yes, unfortunately you’re right. If it’s hard to have a kid confess to stealing a cookie imagine how difficult it will be to have hundreds of them to do that about a much worse crime.

Because we’re no longer talking about just the T9, Ocean Club, Guests and their friends and relatives. We’re also talking about diplomatic personnel, police and justice personnel, media personnel, church personnel and government personnel of two countries.”

“That is one big crowd!”

“But let’s get back to the truth block. It’s important with what set of eyes one is looking at it.”

“How is that?”

“It changes with the objectives in mind when looking at it. Whether one is looking at it as the police or if as the public.”

“Public? I thought, after you said the police, that you were going to say the criminals.”

“Oh no, the criminals are the only ones who know exactly what the truth block looks like, after all they’re the ones that “built” it.

All others, police and public, have their views of the block in some way or another blocked. If by nothing else, it’s blocked by their own ignorance of the general facts or of just certain parts of them.

It’s the job of the police to do away with their ignorance and that’s why they do their investigative work. They work to replace their ignorance with knowledge about Factual Truth.

So little by little they “peel” away all obstacles that prevent them to see the whole truth with the objective of having, at the end of the process, the whole Factual Truth uncovered so that the rightful judicial entities that will follow them on the subject are able to make the right decisions based on the right facts.

It’s the job of the police to discover the truth, to clean and polish that block the best way possible.”

“And the general public?”

“The public can only see what is shown, and it assumes that the police is doing its job.

But each individual by absorbing the information available formulates his/hers opinion on the subject. 

Both about of the truth block as well as the work being done by the whole judicial system.

And when one realizes that the judicial system isn’t exactly doing the job it’s supposed to be doing, as the citizen that one is, one is compelled to do something about it.

Imagine that one day you head for the bank and when you get to the teller, instead of being asked “Good morning, do you wish to make a deposit?” the teller reaches for a gun and says “Hands up, this is a robbery! Hand over all your the money!” and after taking it sends you on your way with a “Thank you, goodbye. Next!”.”

“What?”

“Was the bank doing its job? No. And wouldn’t be a fact that it was your duty to alert others that the bank not only wasn’t doing its job as it was taking advantage of being a bank to attract other naive victims?”

“It certainly would!”

“And that’s the role of the true WH blogs. To alert others that those supposed to manage justice within society are far from doing their job when it comes to Maddie's case.

But as we don’t have authority or legitimacy to manage justice in any way, what we can do is provide our opinion and by doing so, show how some who have been entrusted with responsibility, misuse it and even abuse it.

And even if those entrusted with responsibility don’t misuse or abuse it they should always be ready and available to be closely scrutinized by those who entrusted them with said responsibility: the citizens.

It’s like the Portuguese say, "when one owes no one, one isn’t afraid to face anyone", so the judicial system should never be afraid of being questioned. 

If it is indeed transparent then all questions will have a clear and straightforward answer. If it isn’t, then the “bank” is pointing a “gun” at all of us and should be denounced.

Unlike the police, we don’t possess their resources to access information but we do have the greatest resource of all and that is the human brain. Nothing stops us from thinking with logic.

So it’s not our mission, or quest, to find truth, but to make all efforts to understand what truth is from the available facts. And when we can’t understand something to be true, we have not the right, but the duty to voice it.

What we do is make the truth block more and more clear and that is achieved by making transparent all the obstacles between us and it.

By doing so, we hope to, as an end-result, to show what we understand the truth is. It’s our thought, thus is but supposition. But if our thought process was logic, coherent and above all feasible, then our suppositions will also be logical, coherent and feasible, which makes it very close to the truth.”

“Understand that. But what has this to do with the Black Hat Gangs?”

“Well, it first helps you identify if the person you’re communicating with, directly or indirectly, is a BH.

Normally, the exact size and shape of the truth block is only known by those who intervened directly in the events. This is so because, as I said, although the truth block is immutable, afterwards each one tends to manipulate its events to in accordance with one’s convenience.

But the “Maddie truth block” is different.”

“Well, if everything else has been different about this case, not seeing any reason for this not to be so…”

“You see, not only those present, or the T9, know exactly how Maddie died. Many people know exactly what happened, under which circumstances and in which general and particular surroundings it occurred.

That means that many, maybe too many, people know exactly what “Maddie’s truth block” looks like.”

“And that means?”

“It means that there are too many people with an interest in manipulating truth, and that’s why you have so many, many different “truths” being propagated out there.

Now you know that if anyone tends to “overlook” this or that detail that person is manipulating the truth by distorting it by omission, or if they’re bringing clutter into the picture they’re distorting it by addition.

But what really is important is that they’re distorting the truth, and as we saw, only those with some guilt do that as others accept truth for what it is.”

“That’s true, but in what way is this helpful?”

“Because it’s the only way that you can differentiate the various kinds of BHs! 

And once you can do that, you can understand the groupings, the gangs, the cliques.”

“Why?”

“You can work from front to back. If one manipulates truth it is because one feels one has to. Understand the manipulation and you’ll understand the reason why it’s being done. Find a group of people with similar manipulations and you’ll see that they have the same reasons for doing it and so you have found yourself a group of BHs. Very simple.

All cliques have their opposition, dissent within their own ranks but we can look back and see how the got their clique story underway and developed. The story that exonerates their clique and puts the guilt on another.

Albeit with their differences, they all share a commonality…”

“Which is?”

“All of them are trying to sell water as rock. The only possible way that you can do that is by freezing the water although ice is far from being as hard as rock.

Ice has one major problem, though…”

“That is?”

“Maintenance. Unless you live at one of the poles, to have ice remain as ice you have to maintain it, and maintenance can be costly…”

“Especially if you can’t possibly allow it to melt...”

“Exactly! Very, very costly.”




Post Scriptum:

In this post we make the following statement:

“For example, in Maddie's case, we believe that dinners took place downtown at Chaplin’s. That reality has been replaced with the fictitious Tapas dinners.”

We’ve also said:

“What we do is make the truth block more and more clear and that is achieved by making transparent all the obstacles between us and it.

By doing so, we hope to, as an end-result, to show what we understand the truth is. It’s our thought, thus is but supposition. But if our thought process was logic, coherent and above all feasible, then our suppositions will also be logical, coherent and feasible, which makes it very close to the truth.”

So what makes us believe that the T9 had dinner at Chaplin’s?

It’s a supposition based on 4 things:

First, if they didn’t have dinner at Tapas, they had to have it somewhere else. All the "proof" needed that they didn’t eat at Tapas are in the 12 Tapas Quiz Night posts on the blog’s front page;

Second, we have Ms Najoua, Chaplin’s Quiz Mistress to be, by coincidence, also Tapas' Quiz Mistress. We know that at Tapas there were no Quiz Nights, so from where does Ms Najoua know the T9? We would say that it was from where she indeed worked: Chaplin’s.

Third, Mrs Fenn’s hairdresser. We know that the whole sketch was phony and only done to compromise the McCanns during "The McCann Hunting Party 07". Taking into account the context and intent with which it was made we deduce the “accusation” that they dined at Chaplin’s to be true, as we’re sure, would be easily provable by magically making the T9 credit cards statements see the light of day.

Fourth, the Kelly’s Irish Bar manager. From her words her husband or ex-husband worked at Chaplin’s and she seems to establish close ties between the bar and the restaurant: 

“Kelly's Irish Bar, three minutes' walk from the Mark Warner Complex where the McCanns stayed, is -- allegedly -- one of the places visited by Gerry and Kate McCann during their brief stay on the peninsula.

The manager, Mary, is a friendly native of Donegal who has lived in Portugal for the past 20 years. She describes how badly affected the town -- which relies on tourism -- was by Madeleine's disappearance.

"People just packed up and left. They cancelled their holidays and they will never come back. This was always considered to be a very, very safe place for children. I used to let my own boy -- now eight -- walk from here down the road to where his father worked at Chaplin's restaurant. Now, I'm terrified of letting him go anywhere on his own.”

This is all but supposition but hopefully a logical, coherent and feasible one, thus in our opinion very close to the truth.

About the statement "children were being taken care of by OC Staff " we're supposing that the event's organizers guaranteed that the children were adequately taken care of at all times, explaining the unusually high number of nannies present at the resort at the end of April / beginning of May.
