It’s always the little detail that makes the whole difference. A little thing that suddenly ignites the linking and connecting of events and people seemingly disconnected from each other.
With the details with what had happened in Praia da Luz, on the evening of the 3rd, I was quite satisfied with what I was able to deduce. But it’s always been intriguing how these people could have manipulated and ordered around a whole country.
Their power had to be based on them being able to leash out a scandal, and not just any kind of scandal. It had to be more than about money or “tame” sex. It had to be something big, really big.
Big enough to answer that questions we’ve been asked over, and over again, as to WHY the McCanns have enjoyed the protection that they have had.
When I read that Mr. Gambles had been a member of, and had led the SBI Branch in Belfast, a lot started to make a lot of sense. Finally.
The more I read, the more the pieces of the puzzle started to fall in place. And this is what I read (hopefully I’ll read a lot more…):
From the CV on Jim Gamble that I took from the 3A Forum, I left out some information that I thought to be irrelevant but is anything but that:
At the end of 2001, Jim took up a leading role with the National Crime Squad for England and Wales as an Assistant Chief Constable and, in 2004, as Deputy Director General. Jim was also responsible in this time for the UK’s National High Tech Crime Unit, co-ordination of Operation Ore – the UK’s largest ever investigation into online child abuse – and the national Paedophile Online Investigation Team.
From Wikipedia on Jim Gamble:
James "Jim" Gamble QPM is a senior British police officer from Bangor in Northern Ireland. He is chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), a police unit affiliated to the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) in the United Kingdom.
Earlier in his career he was head of the Northern Ireland anti-terrorist intelligence unit in Belfast, then Deputy Director General(with the rank of Deputy Chief Constable) of the National Crime Squad which in April 2006 merged into the Serious Organised Crime Agency.
Gamble led the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) fight against child sex abuse, including initiatives such as the controversial Operation Ore. He led the work to set up the National Crime Squad's specialist response cell – the Paedophile Online Investigation Team (POLIT). He was awarded the Queen’s Police medal (QPM) in the New Year Honours 2008.
Gamble is among five candidates shortlisted to succeed Sir Hugh Orde as Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable.. Also in the running is Bernard Hogan-Howe, chief constable of Merseyside; Jon Stoddart, chief constable of Durham; Paul West, chief constable of West Mercia; and Matt Baggott, chief constable of Leicestershire
From Wikipedia on CEOP:
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), formed in April 2006, is a UK cross agency and cross business department of the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), which is tasked to work both nationally and internationally to bring online child sex offenders, including those involved in the production, distribution and viewing of child pornography, to the UK courts.
CEO
Jim Gamble is Chief Executive of CEOP. A senior police officer of 25 years, he was head of the Northern Ireland anti-terrorist intelligence unit in Belfast, then most recently tackled organised crime as the Deputy Director of the National Crime Squad. In March 2010 Gamble called for a "panic button" - for the public to report suspected paedophiles - to be installed on the main profile page of every Facebook user.
Prosecutions
CEOP gained its first successful prosecution in June 2006, when Lee Costi, 21, of Haslemere, Surrey, was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court where he admitted grooming schoolgirls for sex. Costi was caught when a Nottingham girl told her mother about his chatroom messages.
Following this, in June 2007, Timothy Cox was jailed at a court in Buxhall, Suffolk, following a 10-month operation by CEOP Officers, as well as other Virtula Global Taskforce Members, leading to 700 new suspects being followed up by law enforcement agencies around the world.
From Wikipedia on SOCA:
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) is a non-departmental public body of the United Kingdom government and a national law enforcement agency in the United Kingdom.
A consequence of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, SOCA formally came into being on 1 April 2006 following a merger of:
- the National Crime Squad (NCS),
- the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) (elements of which were incorporated into the Association of Chief Police Officers Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (AVCIS))
- the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU),
- the investigative and intelligence sections of HM Revenue & Customs on serious drug trafficking,
- and the Immigration Service’s responsibilities for organised immigration crime.
Child protection
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) is technically part of SOCA and its officers are SOCA officers. However, CEOP largely operates separately to the bulk of SOCA. The task of online child protection had previously been (in part) the responsibility of the NHTCU. CEOP recently announced the opening of the CEOP Academy, designed to be a centre of excellence in this area of law enforcement. CEOP works in conjunction with New Scotland Yard Child Abuse Investigation Command which has its own hi-tech unit.
Computer crime
Officers from the former National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) became SOCA's e-crime unit. However, the remit of this unit is much narrower than that of the body it replaced. In particular, the NHTCU had established a confidentiality charter to encourage victims of computer crime to contact the police in confidence, because many corporate victims in particular do not report attacks due to fears of bad publicity. The loss of the confidentiality charter has been widely criticised although similar protection is now provided by the same Act of Parliament used to create SOCA.
From Wikipedia on Operation Ore:
In May of 2002, Operation Ore was implemented in the UK to investigate and prosecute the Landslide users whose names were provided by the FBI. Police conducting Operation Ore targeted all names on the list for investigation due to the difference in laws in between the US and the UK, which allowed for arrest on a charge of incitement to distribute child pornography based solely on the presence of a name in the database.
In all, 3,744 people were investigated and arrested. The charge of possession of child pornography was used where evidence was found, but the lesser charge of incitement was used in those cases where a user's details were on the Landslide database but no images were found on the suspect's computer or in his home. Because of the number of names on the FBI list, the scale of the investigation in the UK was overwhelming to the police, who appealed to the government for emergency funding for the case. Reportedly several million pounds were spent in the investigations, and complaints mounted that other investigations were put at risk because of the diversion of the resources of child protection units into the case.
Information from the Operation Ore list of names was leaked to the press early in 2003. In January the Daily Mail first led with a story implicating a "legendary British rock star." After obtaining the list, the Sunday Times stated that it included the names of a number of prominent individuals, some of which were later published by the press. The Sunday Times reported that the list included at least twenty senior executives, a senior teacher at an exclusive girl's public school, personnel from military bases, GPs, university academics and civil servants, a famous newspaper columnist, a song writer for a legendary pop band, a member of a chart-topping 1980s cult pop group, and an official with the Church of England. An investigation followed the leak, and police complained that the advance warning would allow suspected paedophiles to dispose of evidence. A police officer was reported to have lost his job for leaking the names.
(…)
CEOP and its Chief Executive were accused of using vague terms which do not have a recognised meaning within either child protection or law enforcement when they defended the operation.
That is a whole lot of information. Tedious even.
Let’s try and simplify things and timeline things:
1982 – 2001 (Jim Gamble) Joined the Police Service of Northern Ireland in 1982 (formerly the Royal Ulster Constabulary) to Head of Special Branch Intelligence (SBI) in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in charge of all counter-terrorism and operations relating to Irish terrorism in the UK and overseas.

It’s easy to see that we have before us an individual who with an IMPRESSIVE experience in handling intelligence, with a particular emphasis in both in internet and pedophilia, areas which I assume him to be an expert.
It’s a known fact that anybody involved in investigating the violent phenomenon that is pedophilia, should be in it for no longer than three years. If you’re exposing yourself to the graphical violence, that period should not exceed six months.
It’s got to do with mental health, numbness to details, and possibility of irrational vengeful behavior. Since this gentleman has long exceeded any of these periods, one can only assume that he hasn’t been in direct investigative duties but coordinates the teams that do that.
Much like Gonçalo Amaral in the Maddie case. Quite a coincidence, wouldn’t that be?
To the intelligence people, who this man is certainly included, there’s no such thing as luck, coincidence or fluke.
Any of situations happening and those circumstances, and they do happen, are by definition unforeseen. That means that somehow the analysis of that particular information could have been done in a more precise manner, or even in a correct manner.
It means basically that they’ve failed.
Let me try to explain this just a little better. An economist is a person who is able to tell you, quite correctly and justifying each and every statement, what went wrong, or right, with the economy, nationally or internationally, in a certain period that has passed and in which, as they explain you are suffering what you are suffering right now.
Economists are information analysts who reach certainly valuable conclusions.
But Intelligence doesn’t require economists, it wants to know what the future reserves, not explanations about the past, however correct they may be. If you can’t predict, you can’t prevent. Putting out fires is for firemen.
So, please, when thinking about people as these, wipe out from your brain expressions like “it may have been that…” No luck, no fortune, coincidences, no flukes, just plain hard work.
I won’t get, at this stage, into what I think about the possible connections between this man, Operation Ore, the UK Government and Maddie’s Scandal. But they are, in my opinion, very much linked and intertwined. My good friend Ironside has been feeding you some adequate information in his comments, as I’ve had valuable contributions from my readers, who I take the opportunity to thank.
I want to focus Mr. James Gamble and pedophilia and his online capabilities.
Not even hinting that he’s one himself, but if there’s a single man that is able to spot a pedophile even before that individual has even had his first dirty thought, then you’re before him.
He’s a man who knows, as an expert that he is, that any pedophile is completely aware of his sick vice and will do anything to hide it, ashamed as he feels for the pleasure felt from such an abject need.
He’s a man who knows, as an expert that he is, that pedophiles will always use other than their own identities to purchase or be officially linked to this disgusting activity, for they know they are committing the vilest of acts. The vast majority of credit card payments to purchase or view this type of aberration is obviously done through credit card fraud. That’s not experience, that’s common sense. Mr Gambles knows, as an expert that he is, that pretty well, I’m sure.
He also knows, as an expert that he is, that the security systems set up by pedophiles to protect themselves is extremely complex in such a manner that to “progress” up the chain of trust. To reach some levels you have to perform these unspeakable acts before you’re accepted in the inner circle of these animals.
He knows perfectly well, as an expert that he is, that child victims of online predators go VOLUNTARILY to the slaughter. Like innocent lambs they are. And it’s their innocence that is exploited to be conned, convinced or fooled into a trustful relationship.
Nobody, not even a child, goes to meet a stranger that they suspect will harm them. To say that is being arrogantly malignant. No, not even a stupid idiot would say it.
The filter has to be somewhere else and certainly not dependant of the victim who, Mr. Gamble perfectly knows, as an expert that he is, is totally unaware of the threat.
He knows, as an expert that he is, that the push-button thing is pushing is a as a big and as vile marketing ploy as was Maddie’s eye. It’s stupid and useless to protect kids, but what a wonderful tool to persecute anyone you wish.
You see, he also knows, as an expert that he is, and exploits that very well, that to be branded a pedophile is worse than wearing a David’s Star in Auchwitz, than being a black in Alabama when lynching was fashionable, than being a muslim in Sbrenica in 1995. It’s worse because you’re branded with something that only a part of society hates, but of something that the WHOLE society hates.
And if you’re innocent of the charges, you’re as much to blame for the branding as any of the persecuted groups I just referred.
He knows all this, and much more, as an expert that he is,. Some I will discuss it later, but most important thing that he knows is what I’m about to say next.
He KNOWS who the real pedophiles in the UK are. And outside UK, but that is not his jurisdiction. He may not know them all, as pedophiles, unfortunately for us all, don’t cease to appear.
But he knows who’s on THE LIST. Not the Ore list, THE LIST. Let me just remind you what Wikipedia said about the Ore list: “it included at least twenty senior executives, a senior teacher at an exclusive girl's public school, personnel from military bases, GPs, university academics and civil servants, a famous newspaper columnist, a song writer for a legendary pop band, a member of a chart-topping 1980s cult pop group, and an official with the Church of England”.
That, as we now know, is based purely on credit card transactions, so most of the names in it are of totally innocent people. But not the names on THE LIST.
And this Ore List came from the US, whilst THE LIST that I'm supposing to exist, is homemade. And it doesn't exist only if UK assumes that only the US investigates these things. Mr. Gamble's curriculum states otherwise, but, for libel's sake, let's just SUPPOSE it exists.
I imagine that average-Joe (and Jane, for pedophilia is not an exclusive male aberration, as much as Mr. Gamble tries to convince us that only whoever has a penis is a danger to children) that has ever been on that list, has been, correctly persecuted and condemned.
But average-Joe’s don’t feed power. And there’s no more power than having in your hand the names of the nations’ notorious as the most perverts of perverts.
As I said, I don’t have proof that THE LIST exists, but apparently there is proof that out all of the Ore List names not all were charged, as we hopefully shall see on the 27th. So there is a double standard in the British Judicial System when it comes to pedophilia.
Also Mr. Gamble also knows, as an expert that he is, that if you have a foe, or if you need a name, well, just hack a computer, hide a couple of pictures in it, bring in the cavalry, and, voilá, you have yourself a certified pedophile, that you, and only YOU, know that he’s not. No, not saying he would ever do THAT. Didn't cross my mind for a minute.
But, in any case all required is the adequate computer knowledge. Know anyone who has?
Last, but not least, and completely off-subject for now, let me just go back to my timeline.
2009 – (Jim Gamble) Among five candidates shortlisted to succeed Sir Hugh Orde as Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable.. Also in the running is Bernard Hogan-Howe, chief constable of Merseyside; Jon Stoddart, chief constable of Durham; Paul West, chief constable of West Mercia; and Matt Baggott, chief constable of Leicestershire, who was appointed.
Now ain’t that just luck, fortune, coincidence and a fluke, all in one?

Bren,
Thank you!
I'm just getting started, lol...
Had to put the Smith sighting on hold, as everybody has realized, but had to make an effort on this issue to help out TC.
Now, that's a Woman!
About Raymond, I confess that he was just a scapegoat, and honestly never gave him much importance. But, and how I love to be proved wrong, it seems I was proven wrong.
Will tackle the gentleman in due time, Bren, I promise. But time is a very scarce resource on this side of the computer.
I have promised Maria a post that I have put off for a year, and that is an opne letter to Kate, and promised Ironside another about Maddie's ordeal... but my priority goes to helping out the Orees at this point.
They are PIVOTAL in the solving of Maddie's Mistery, or as I call it, the 2M Scandal (Maddie & Miranda).
The McCanns could do me an enormous favor, and just own up. It would save me a whole lot of writing...

From the Hollie Grieg story there is this paragraph:
Several years ago, Denis and Greg Mackie went to live in Portugal. On 8th May 2007, immediately following Madeleine McCann`s disappearance, Anne Greig, accompanied by a victim`s support witness, went to her now local police station in Shrewsbury to tell them to alert the Portuguese Police, as despite the proven case of paedophile abuse, neither of the Mackies had a record of any kind.
The McCann team has accepted that the Mackies ought to have been questioned immediately. It is now understood that the British Police failed to pass on these details to their Portuguese counterparts.

Sorry but the link regarding the 'UK's magic circle' is rubbish. How many ways would Mr. Walsh like me to rip apart his statements?
For example, at the time of of the US Postal Service raid on the Landslide offices, they had already had their merchant services removed- that is, so many people were complaining about credit card fraud, that their ability to accept payment via credit card/internet, that credit card companies had 'cut them off'. Reedy (a dubious character who was actually an accountant- and clearly not a good one!) was facing bankruptcy at the time.
