We cannot tell with any certainty exactly how Ben would look today. There are many factors to take into account, including skin tone based on his current location, how he wears his hair, if he dyes it etc. He may also wear glasses or have a thick beard. He may even have long hair.
But this portrait encompasses what Ben would look like based on his photo as a child and in comparison to his family members. It should also be noted that his birthmarks are also important in finding him."
First Ever Madeleine Rose
From a Rose Tree Called Maddy
Planted by myself in our home garden in June 2007 in England
With Great Hope
May This Rose Tree Bring Children In The Whole World Happiness.
An Orchestration from pre-written SCRIPT?
Here is the FIRST EVER ARTICLE... just a bit EARLY! At ONE MINUTE past Midnight on the 4th May 07!
"A
three-year-old British girl has gone missing while on a family holiday in
Portugal, the Foreign Office said today.
Portuguese police are
investigating the disappearance from a holiday complex in Praia da Luz in the
western Algarve.
A Foreign Office spokesman said that he understood the
girl's parents had gone to have dinner once their children were asleep last
night, but returned to check on them only to find the girl had gone missing.
"They reported it straight away," he said, adding that consular
assistance was being offered. "

The dateline of this story is
12:01AM BST 04 May 2007. In Portugal the time would have been the same 12:01 AM,
because that country is in the same timezone as the UK.
There is
some dispute as to the exact time that Madeleine's disappearance was discovered
and reported by Kate McCann. For the sake of discussion, let's say that the
disappearance was reported at 10:00 PM on May 3, 07. A British child goes missing in
Portugal and exactly 121 minutes later a press story appears on the website of
the Telegraph newspaper announcing that there is a child missing in Portugal and
this announcement is made by the British Foreign Office. 121
minutes!!!
Let's try to construct a timeline of events working backward
from the precise moment at 12:01 AM when someone pressed the key on their
computer to upload the story to the web.
12:01 AM 04 May 07: Story is
uploaded.
11:58 PM 03 May 07: Story is typed up and proofread.
11:45 PM 03 May 07: Data entry staff receives email from editor
containing story after having been phoned and alerted to situation.
11:35 PM 03 May 07: Night editor of Telegraph receives phone call from
publisher or editor in chief informing him of the details of the story which he
takes down over the phone. There is minimal discussion. He relays story and
instructions to publish immediately to his staff.
11:15 PM 03 May 07:
Foreign Office press officer phones Telegraph publisher and relates the
substance of the story and requests immediate publication of it. He agrees to
accept attribution of the story to the Foreign Office. There is some minimal
discussion. The publisher agrees to print the story in accordance with long
established protocols between the press and the FO.
11:13 PM 03 May 07:
Mr. X, a functionary of the British Foreign Office at a level somewhere in
support of the Minister of State for Europe, Geoffrey Hoon (in 2007), gives
instructions to the FO press officer, above.
11:00 PM 03 May 07: Mr. X
is instructed by a superior in the Foreign Office to relay the substance of the
story of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann to the Telegraph through
established channels.
This is irregular and it is difficult to
understand the purpose of it. Mr. X would have remarked this undoubtedly.
Usually such stories would be "broken" independantly by the press itself or
through official statements from Interpol or other police agencies.
The
"Foreign Office" attribution for the story is the sticking point.
Keep
in mind that only a little over an hour has passed since the disappearance of
the child! What if the child were to be found? Twenty minutes later the British
Foreign Office might have to issue another press release with the happy news.
If the British ambassador in Portugal were the first member of the
British Civil Service to hear of this story and wished to expedite press
coverage of it, he would normally use backchannels of his own to alert the press
and ask for an "unnamed sources" attribution of the story.
Keep in mind
that even a quickly solved child disappearance is a winner in press circles. The
ambassador would not have to twist arms to get the story published, or would he?
Does the press normally publish stories about children who have been
missing only for a little over an hour?
10:XX - 11:00PM: Information and
a request for assistance in the matter of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
moved from Portugal to a ministerial level in the UK where discussions took
place and a decision was made to issue an alert to the press, with Foreign
Office attribution, for a child who had been reported missing less than an hour
before.
10:00 - 10:XX Madeleine was discovered to be missing and after
searching for less than an hour, political help in the situation was sought in
the UK and received. This is truly impressive. Rule Britannia!
Congratulations to the FO.
Over here in the boondocks of Canada our
"External Affairs Department" doesn't have the balls to issue a press release
when a child goes missing for an hour. Shame shame you "two bit" ex-colony of
woodchoppers and fur traders. Take a leaf from the FO's book. Not a sparrow
falls from a foreign limb without being observed and aided by the FO. And on
such short notice too. Less than an hour and they are on the case. Truly
incredible.
Strange though, that one doesn't hear the constant praise of
the FO being sung by British travellers around the globe. I'm inclined, myself
to believe that they are much like any other government department. Wily, but
slow and deliberate. www.dailymail.co.uk...
But
according to a secret U.S. diplomatic cable, Britain refused to speak to Mr Dyer
or his captors in the weeks before his execution - and were aware that the
Briton was facing a death sentence unless the terrorist's demands were met.
The cable, published in The Daily Telegraph, reads: 'In January ould
Mataly offered to put British officials in telephone contact with the British
hostage - an offer the British apparently never accepted out of fear that
speaking to the hostage could put them into a position of having to negotiate
with terrorists.'
If the British Foreign Office and its masters are
wily, but slow and deliberate, isn't it more likely that the timetable for their
deliberations and actions, actually started a day earlier than advertised, and
that they only seem to be alert, quick and decisive, not to say impetuous,
gallant and slightly hysterical?
But that is precisely the claim being
made by the blog Unterdenteppichgekehrt, that
Madeleine died on the 2nd. of May, 07, a day before the public became aware that
something was wrong in Praia da Luz. "http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread628700/pg1
To sum up, with no evidence, no base to this statement, a police officer of a high rank from the Met (Metropolitan Police in the UK), Mr John SHORD, sent an official message to the Leicestershire police.
It said:
“Intelligence suggests that a paedophile ring in Belgium made an order for a young girl three days before Madeleine McCann was taken.
“Somebody connected to this group saw Maddie, took a photograph of her and sent it to Belgium. The purchaser agreed that the girl was suitable and Maddie was taken.”
An that is a totally UNFOUNDED STATEMENT. There is NO PHOTO, NO PROOF of this, WHATSOEVER! This was solely based on RUMOURS...
How can such malpractice have been tolerated by the British authorities, at a time when both Madeleine's PARENTS Kate Healy and Gerald McCann were MAIN SUSPECTS?!(the John SHORD email was sent to DC Hughes at LP on 4th March 2008)
I wonder if some connections previously existed -or were established by arrangement. If you click on the RUMOURS link above, the article from Anarak will tell you more details. The Spaniard named TOSCANO, who had the information, offered to meet the McCanns, however they REFUSED!
"Toscano, who attributed Madeleine’s abduction to orders from a paedophile
network to someone called “El Francés“, was interviewed several times by the
Portuguese authorities, but his allegations were quickly ruled out after
investigation. The Spaniard had even asked to meet Kate and Gerry McCann, who
had refused."
Question: HOW did the Mccanns know that his information regarding, according to this, Madeleine in a Belgian paedophile ring, was not worth of interest?!
Even the BRITISH POLICE was taking to the bait! (and I repeat, without an ounce of evidence)
I find this all STRANGE to say the least. And: Would Anna Stam be connected with the
McCanns? To me it's VERY likely. And the Loop would be complete! Loopy Loop.
To be honest I've always found
it really weird that the McCanns had REFUSED to see that Toscano man. That
is really fishy. Why would they do that if they were sincere about their claim
and the investigation? Imo it was a huge indication that:
1) they probably
were in contact therefore Toscano was instrumental in that great action of
SABOTAGING the case, all being orchestrated by them in the first place - if not
pre-planned , etc.
OR: 2) they were not in contact, didn't know each
other but the McCanns feared he would suss them out, flairing he was smart (if
the case, I've no idea ) so they prefered NOT to speak with
him...
... or more simply they KNEW what had happened so just like for
the sighting in Belgium, AGAIN, in summer 07 this time, when Gerry sucked on a
lollipop at the PJ station, why bother at all...
...However, ... "Referring to the McCanns’ spokesperson, Clarence
Mitchell, The Telegraph states that the “revelation” added weight to Kate and
Gerry McCann’s theory that their daughter may have been abducted by a child
smuggling ring."
