Bloody Hands, Silver Coins and Loud Silences

At the end of Mr Bennett’s trial we said that we would abstain from commenting until all was settled.

There was the question of how much Mr Bennett had to pay to be agreed upon between the parties.

It seems that an agreement has been reached. The Black Hats have agreed to take a substantial cut in the amount to be paid by Mr. Bennett in exchange for his silence on the issue for the rest of his life. Making him, as you know, the only person in the entire planet that can't speak about the case.

So now we’re free to comment and provide our opinion about what happened.

And what happened is that some people got their hands dirty with blood. Really, really dirty.

Before we gross you out, let us quickly explain that there are two kinds of blood. There’s the normal blood, the one that’s red in colour, flows in our veins and oxygenates our body, and then there’s the unjust blood.

The unjust blood, or blood of the innocent, has no definite shape, form, colour or texture. It may, as it happened with the unfortunate Maddie, be the same as normal blood but is usually completely diverse from it.

In the case of Mr Bennett the unjust blood took the shape of silver coins and a violently forced silence.

I’m speaking directly to all those who took upon their hands to engage on a crusade to right the wrong they witnessed, either directly or by indirect party, that happened in PdL: the completely unaccountable death of Madeleine McCann.

These people, personally carrying such a heavy burden on their consciences or mandated by those who carried such, rolled up their sleeves and took up “arms” to fight for justice for Maddie.

But by hiding what indeed what was going on when that death happened, their departure point for this "crusade" was based completely on a wrong.

Yes, what was going on was absolutely unrelated with the toddler’s unfortunate demise but in the effort to hide it they lost track that two wrongs never made a right.

And as the second wrong, the cover-up, was already well under way when they decided to act, their act was doomed to fail. But their thirst for a conscience-cleansing made them overlook this incontrovertible fact.

Under the banner of justice these self-righteous fundamentalists have, with Mr Bennett's trial, become their own nemesis, the biggest and sturdiest vehicles of injustice.

They have persecuted an innocent man. A man whose innocence is well known to all those who helped set up the system that would persecute him.

A system set up to protect an optional lifestyle from neighbouring and completely unrelated events that led to the death of a girl.

The same system that has ended up sentencing an innocent man.

One may not agree with what Mr Bennett believes to be the truth as to what happened to Maddie but one is absolutely sure that it was the truth as he saw it and nothing but that truth that moved and motivated the man.

One disagrees with his version of events? Then one only has to contest.

To silence him is to recognize, publicly, that what he had to say someone found the need to censor.

History has proven time and time again that censorship is only a temporary panacea to stop truth from coming out which inevitably it does.

Insult, and even slander, is like the Portuguese say, clay thrown against a wall. It will only stick if there’s reason for that to happen, otherwise it will fall on to the floor.

Other themes, of gruesome nature that I will refrain from identifying, are self-censored and this censorship is voluntary, never enforced.

Whenever we witness enforced censorship we know with certainty that we’re before stifling of the truth.

The interesting side to censorship is that it raises awareness to the truth. The exact opposite effect intended.

And that is what happened with Mr Bennett. From now on his silence will speak much, much more than ever his words did.

Thanks to you, Black Hats, he has become omnipresent. In the back of everyone’s mind he’s temporarily “the one they silenced”.

And most ironically what you have achieved, with permanence, is that when the lid pops off this pan, he will be remembered as “the one they shamelessly and hypocritically tried to silence with the help of the British Courts”.

You, Black Hats, by your doing and your doing alone, have created a hero. He may now be forcefully silent but his silence is deafening loud.

About the lid popping off, or the closure of this case, the current times have been, as we’ve been saying lately, very interesting.

Cameron as the astute politician he is in political games, has now most likely come to the conclusion that his war against the media was a lost cause and is now resisting Leveson recommendations and Hacked Off - which Gerry McCann was a spokesperson for.

Cameron is supported in his opposition by the majority of newspapers, who don't want state regulation and we must say that we agree with them.

Apparently he’s stopped making an enemy of Murdoch.

After the outing of the affair between who represented the McCanns with Leveson’s side barrister, the Leveson Inquiry has attracted some derision.

The McCanns by siding with Cameron have provoked the tabloid wrath, which is very, very lethal. The couple, as we keep highlighting, are small fish in such a big pond. They haven't, and never had, any fighting power and, it seems, they've outlasted their use.

So now we have two, Cameron and Murdoch, of the three parties involved apparently interested in putting a closure to this mess.

The third party, the powerful Black Hats are the only obstacle left. We’ll see how strong a fight they will put up, and they will put up a fierce fight we are certain of that.

Our final words of this post go to those we intended to communicate with by writing it, the “WH”, or pretendy White Hats. Those who are far from what they pretend to be and whose agenda is far from being what they say it is.

Mr Bennett’s coins and silence are the unjust blood on your hands. A blood that will taint your hands no matter how much you wash them. Normal blood can be cleansed but the blood of the innocent will remain on you forever. And we do mean forever.

You have fallen in the commonest trap of this affair. In an effort to help, you’ve become a stakeholder.

Now, you’re no longer contributing to the “cause” out of will but out of necessity.

The day Mr Bennett wasn’t acquitted in Court was the day that you lost whatever little innocence you still had because of the integral, albeit hidden, part that you were, and are, of the system that had an innocent man sentenced unjustly.

And it was the day you began to hope no one will ever find out your true role in all this mess.
