a pebble in a pond always causes ripples
in still waters the murky was surprised
hands came in pairs and soon were triples
fix the irremediable they tried and tried
flattening water only make waves bigger
look, there’s trees, birds and flowers to see
the fall wasn’t in pond, it just flew over
vain attempt, guilt won’t go free
eightfold have birds flown north and south
justice forgotten at the bottom of a pond
but many are who won’t shut their mouth
the pebble can’t speak but we can respond
Speechless xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful!
Let the warriors for justice abound!!
'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight
ReplyDelete'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
All soft and still and fair;
The solemn hour of midnight
Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,
But most where trees are sending
Their breezy boughs on high,
Or stooping low are lending
A shelter from the sky.
And there in those wild bowers
A lovely form is laid;
Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
Wave gently round her head.

I don' t know why but this poem reminds me of Kate's aunt Janet.
DeleteI love both Poems and at the end of all this nasty bitterness,it is nice that this site and believers of Truth hold such peaceful thoughts for those less fortunate in life.
DeleteMay your spirit rest in peace, Maddie. Some day, we will know what happened to you - the truth will out.

Completing filming in Portugal #McCann talk to many locals. People in Praia da Luz tell me community never recovered.
Praia de Luz equals: burglaries, abductions and bogey men, preferably all together. This small town in the Algarve will be stigmatised forever... But, of course, the people of Praia de Luz are not important. There's only one person in the world who knows what a real 'disaster' means.
The Mcs may have achieved a Pyhrric victory with positive headlines, but their award must be balanced against their court and legal costs. The proven findings include the indications of the blood and cadaver dogs and the judgement restates the whole of the PJ.findings, which were not favourable to the T9.
ReplyDeleteA groundswell of support for Mr Amaral's appeal costs has followed, plus a press article which makes it clear he is not a wealthy man.
If they attempt to sue just one more person, the tide of opinion, which seems to be turning against them, will never return in their favour.

ReplyDeletePetição pela Liberdade de Expressão
«A livre comunicação dos pensamentos é um dos mais preciosos direitos do homem. Todo o Português pode conseguintemente, sem dependência de censura prévia, manifestar suas opiniões em qualquer matéria, contando que haja de responder pelo abuso d’esta liberdade nos casos e pela forma que a lei determinar» in Art.º 7.º, Constituição política da Monarquia Portuguesa, 23 de Setembro de 1822
Nós, Cidadãos pela Defesa dos Direitos e Liberdades - Projecto Justiça Gonçalo Amaral, de acordo com o que está previsto no Artigo 52º da Constituição da República Portuguesa e na Lei nº 43/90, de 10 de Agosto, alterada pela Lei nº 6/93 de 1 de Março e pela Lei nº 15/20.03 de 4 de Junho e pela Lei nº 45/07, de 24 de Agosto, vimos pela presente declarar a nossa indignação face ao ataque perpetrado contra o direito à liberdade de expressão do Cidadão Gonçalo de Sousa Amaral, que viu ser censurado não apenas um livro, mas também qualquer expressão, oral ou escrita, sobre a tese que defende.
Com efeito, a decisão recente de proibir, mais do que a venda de um texto, todo um raciocínio que lhe está subjacente – raciocínio esse que se encontra, comprovadamente, expresso, fundamentado e deferido, no âmago de um processo de investigação criminal -, constitui, na nossa opinião, um grave e preocupante precedente.
Nunca, desde a Revolução de 25 de Abril de 1974, se havia assistido, neste País que tão valorosamente lutou na defesa da Cidadania responsável e livre, a tamanho ataque contra a Liberdade de Expressão, direito fundamental consagrado no Artigo 37º da nossa Constituição e no Artigo 19º da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos.
Um ataque agravado pelo facto de a tese defendida pelo Dr. Gonçalo Amaral reflectir rigorosamente os factos de uma investigação já fora do segredo de justiça e já tornada pública, um raciocínio lógico e devidamente fundamentado. Concorde-se, ou não, com as conclusões a que chegou toda uma investigação policial, é indefensável proibir a sua reprodução e discussão.
A Liberdade de Expressão, exercida com responsabilidade, é um direito inalienável de qualquer Cidadão Português, e não podemos aceitar sem protesto que se volte a perder algo que tanto custou a conquistar.
Desta forma, solicitamos a imediata devolução do Direito de Expressão ao Cidadão Gonçalo de Sousa Amaral, ao abrigo da Constituição da República Portuguesa, e em respeito pelos Direitos Humanos universalmente consagrados.

ReplyDeleteYou have only to look at this fund website and some of the comments written by those donating to Amaral to see how people are feeling. £8000 has now been raised in 5 days.

ReplyDeleteOnline trolls pay Madeleine McCann libel detective’s legal bills on eight year anniversary
INTERNET trolls are funding the legal bills of a shamed Portuguese detective who claimed Madeleine McCann’s parents were behind her disappearance.
By Helen Barnett

A British policeman is one of more than 330 people who have donated more than £5,300 towards Goncalo Amaral’s legal bills after he was sued by Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry.
The sickening news comes on the eight year anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance.
Amaral was ordered to pay €500,000 in libel damages to the McCanns following the publication of a damning and unfounded book, “Maddie, The Truth of the Lie”.
But Leanne Baulch, 22, of Birmingham, created the page and wrote the fund was created “as a quest for justice and backed by supporters from all over the globe, in solidarity, friendship and above all, in the interest of furthering the investigation of the case into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann”.
It adds: “There are many who follow Amaral’s dissatisfaction, and whom, like him, urge for the day the truth, or some more of it will emerge.”
Amaral, 56, is to launch an expensive appeal against the payout decision.

When Madeline first went missing I felt so sorry for the parents as I believed they had made a terrible mistake and were suffering heavily as a result. But like many people once I read the police files, watched the McCann and cadaver dog video clips which were shocking and read detailed evidence based blogs like Textusa it is impossible to believe the McCann version of events. Nobody likes to think someone could do this and deceive so many people for so long. It almost sounds impossible but all the evidence would indicate otherwise and is really chilling. Even if this fund doesn't help that much financially it will I hope raise the profile of the injustice of what has happened and challenge people's perceptions of a man who was just doing his job, wanted justice for a child and for the truth to be known. Roll on the appeal!
Very emotive poem.
ReplyDeleteSo now its over, will Textusa reveal 1)whodunnit and 2) the reason for the coverup ?
Big fan over your work.
With regard to who done it and the coverup.I think we will have to wait and see due to the probable extension of the damages trial/Operation Grange or the Portugal PJ as it is within their Justice system?
Deletewho has removed the person from 5A or accomplice's it is possible to show a time frame?
what has already been documented, time frame wise and all the distortions of the witness statements. A disaster?
1. I dont think its over and 2 Has she not been telling us whodunnit and the reason for the coverup...eejit

Brits raise thousands for Maddie cop’s libel appeal
After what many consider the bombshell of a judicial decision - setting record damages for a private Portuguese citizen - British supporters of former PJ inspector Gonçalo Amaral are rallying en-masse to a “gofundme” online appeal - started intriguingly by a young British woman who was only 14 when Madeleine McCann went missing.
In less than a week, 22-year-old Leanne Baulch’s appeal has raised over £9,200. British media is slating it - suggesting it is powered by “sick online trolls”, but as the Resident looks behind this fast-developing story it is becoming clear that many of these people have no ‘axe to grind’. They are simply appalled at what they see as a case of injustice.
Meantime, police in UK have decided not to go ahead with any prosecutions over the so-called “hate dossier” cataloguing “troll abuse” of the McCanns.
Read the full report in this week’s Algarve Resident newspaper, available in newsagents on Thursday.

What is a lie
ReplyDeleteUntrue words spoken or told
That fall from the lips
Of those who now carry its load
It can never be seen its only heard
With the ability to damage and do harm
To the innocent by its word
It can ricochet with an echo rebounding
In the ears of the people
It's accepted and resounding
The propaganda machine will be churning
To silence the ones who's voices are genuine
Like a rumble in a storm we are awakening
To lies told in media and all
Some may be afraid they will begin to fall
Like acorns from the oak tree getting trodden into the ground
However a lie cannot live when theres no underground
Sooner or later the lies are in doubt
As many see the truth and throw the lies out
Be aware of what is false and what people conceal
Listen to your heart to hear what is real
