Hi Brian

I'm sorry that your life is being made such a misery
by some people when all you are trying to do is find a
missing child. I'm sure that you realise, however,
that thousands of people really appreciate what you
are doing.

I found something of interest on a UK forum and
thought you would like to have a look at it. Some of
the contents are harrowing and I can't bear to think
that this applies to Madeleine or any child at all for
that matter. I also think that Murat is guilty.
 

reply

Thanks, I look this over and is very disturbing and not sure if it's a fake or it.

What forum did you get this from?

Brian

AND RECOMMENDATIONS 32 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (1) The UK
knew for 14 days the location of Madeleine McCann to a
high degree of confidence and nothing was done to
effect a rescue; (2) The failure to refer the matter
to JIC or convene COBRA contributed to the poor
co-ordination of intelligence; (3) Madeleine McCann
was kidnapped by a paedophile ring linked to the
covert German DVD intelligence agency; (4) The
Portuguese Authorities at a senior level have
frustrated the Portuguese police investigation, which
has degenerated into a farce; (5) Madeleine was taken
out by sea, the original destination was adjacent to
the port of Antwerp, she was held for 14 days on a
specially equipped vessel in Moroccan territorial
waters without the consent of Morocco and she is
probably now on Belgian territory; (6) Madeleine is
alive but in mortal danger, COBRA and JIC should be
brought in without delay and every available
intelligence resource of the United Kingdom should be
committed to finding and saving her; (7) The
involvement of Portuguese, Belgian and German
intelligence indicates that the political situation in
Europe will deteriorate if this crisis is not resolved
quickly; ( The murder of Madeleine McCann, effectively
at the instigation of the German State would lead to a
major Anglo-European crisis and rightly so. DISCLAIMER
1. This paper is submitted on a non-recourse basis and
no liability attaches to the author or Gerard Group
International LLC, under whose auspices it is
submitted, with the consent of the Chief Executive
Officer. It has been prepared, purely as informal
exercise, on a pro bono publico basis, at the request
of a former member of the Joint Intelligence
Committee. It is in no sense a substitute for the
paper which would ordinarily have been prepared by the
Cabinet Office Assessments Staff. No liability for the
contents attaches to any recipient. It has been
prepared under conditions of tight security by
civilian standards and no part of it has been
circulated in draft beforehand to any of them. The
views expressed herein are solely those of the author.
Individuals not named publicly as suspects have been
identified by letters only. It may be assumed that the
full names, addresses and/or landline telephone
number, dates of birth and passport numbers of those
individuals have been passed to their country of
nationality’s internal intelligence service, and that
service has not denied that they are persons of
interest. The author and Gerard Group have been
assisted considerably by professionals within and
without the intelligence community who have given
freely of their time and expertise, compartmentalised
and kept off phone lines, even encrypted lines,
wherever possible. Deniable assistance has also been
given by Allied intelligence agencies, but for
security and deniability reasons no agency saw this
document in draft prior to its limited, non-electronic
circulation. NOTE ON SECURITY 2. Coms security on the
McCann case has been appalling. Most aspects of it
were blown weeks ago down open phone lines, whilst
Leicestershire Police have made a practice of passing
intelligence to the Portuguese police inquiry, despite
requests not to do so. This inquiry, a fair summary of
the 15 basic defects in which was summarised in the
Daily Telegraph on 1st June (p 9), is controlled not
by the Portuguese Judicial Police Faro Region, as
alleged in the media, but by the DCCB, Direccao
Central de Combate ao Banditismo, part of the Judicial
Police, in Lisbon. The DCCB in turn has officers
reporting to the Servico de Informacoes de Seguranca,
the Security Intelligence Service. The Seguranca in
turn is heavily penetrated by a black agency in Lisbon
which dates back to the Salazar fascist dictatorship
and was not dismantled in 1974, ie although the
political structures of the Portuguese Republic are
democratic in form, and the overt intelligence
services give the semblance of accountability to those
structures, the intelligence structures of the
Portuguese State are fundamentally unaltered from the
fascist era. 3. Since the paedophile ring operating in
Lisbon is controlled by this covert agency, which
appears to be blackmailing senior members of the
Portuguese Government, it follows that all
intelligence passed to Portugal from Leicester has
most probably been blown, including the probable
location of Madeleine on board the RV Naomi Corlett.
Combined with the activities of the COMINT operation
in Dachau there has been virtually no security on this
operation since it began. Since intelligence on
Madeleine’s whereabouts has sometimes taken days to
reach England the author makes no apology for having
acted throughout as though time were of the essence.
It is. A new low point was reached on Sunday 3rd June,
when Madeleine’s probable location in Morocco and the
involvement of GCHQ was splashed across the People
(for the benefit of US readers this is a low-rent
Sunday tabloid), citing sources ‘close to the
investigation,’ although whether their sources are
British or Portuguese is unclear. The author has been
liaising, unofficially, with the DA-Notice Committee,
tipping them off if it appeared a British newspaper
was likely to mention exfiltration by sea. NOTE ON
SOURCES 4. These have not been identified, partly to
protect them (Leicestershire Police, whose inquiry
with respect has not been intelligence-led, have
applied pressure to force their identification, but
that has been resisted) and partly because some are
acting through cut-outs. It has been apparent to the
author for some time that we have been receiving a
stream of high-grade intelligence out of Portugal, and
that one or more of these sources is in the Seguranca,
or the Servico de Informacoes Estrategicas de Defesa e
Militares (Strategic Defence and Military Intelligence
Service, SIEDM). Since representing General Pinochet
Ugarte in Washington in 1999/2000 the author has been
tapped into the European Royal House network (ie he
has chateaux as well as home numbers) and there would
be nothing particularly surprising in his receiving
intelligence on a matter affecting the British
interest from a well-placed aristocratic source in
Europe. It would not be the first time. 5. The
difficult relationship between the covert GO2 (General
Operations 2) in London and the DVD, and the
penetration of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS)
by GO2, would be understood by the better-informed
members of the Portuguese Royal House (the House of
Braganza), ie those with the strongest connections to
the Seguranca and the SIEDM. The alliance with
Portugal, which goes back to 1376, is still in force,
and the present Duke, Duarte II, is a collateral
descendant of King Edward III, via John of Gaunt and
his accomplished daughter Philippa. The brutal
assassinations by the Imperial German Secret Service
of King Carlos 1 and his son and heir, Luis Filipe,
23rd Duke of Braganza, on 1st February 1908, would
hardly endear a DVD-backed paedophile operation
directed against a British child to the House of
Braganza. The heir apparent, His Highness Alfonso,
Prince of Beira, is aged just 11, and his views on the
organised kidnap of young children for sexual abuse
may well be imagined. 6. In addition we appear to be
receiving high-grade HUMINT, which is being confirmed
in part by satellite observation. Of course the author
does not have a collection of plastic rocks and is not
set up to control a HUMINT source, but he is an
intelligence specialist, not an intelligence officer,
and the HUMINT is coming securely via multiple
cut-outs, ie from the agency concerned, rather than
from the source. THE AUTHOR’S INVOLVEMENT 7. Purely
unofficially the author has been involved since Sunday
6th May, when he quietly asked the National Security
Agency at Fort Meade whether anything was coming up on
their radar. It was clear by then that the Portuguese
police inquiry was compromised, that the 12-hour delay
in notifying border guards implied that some one had
been allowed to get across the frontier, that
Madeleine was no longer in Portugal, that she had
probably been taken out by air or sea, that the
British police inquiry was stalled and that the
intelligence co-ordination function normally performed
by JIC was not being done. He has liaised with the
police inquiry (spending a day with the inquiry team
at Leicester on Thursday 24th May), various
intelligence contacts, and inter alia an aide to the
PM in waiting, the White House, the Pentagon, EUCOM,
US National Security Council, and relevant friendly
governments. THE LISBON & BRUSSELS PAEDOPHILE RINGS 8.
The paedophile scandal in Lisbon barely scratched the
surface. There are a number of high-ranking
paedophiles in Lisbon, and abductions of young
children in Portugal, followed by their eventual
murder after unspeakable horrors, is sadly a feature
of Portuguese political life, ditto Belgium, where at
least two rings, one tied closely to the European
Commission, continue to operate. Prosecutions and
resignations in both capitals were largely a public
relations exercise. From the national security
standpoint paedophile politicians and senior officials
are a menace - they are invariably weak, hopelessly
compromised and vulnerable to blackmail by the covert
intelligence agencies, all reporting to the German
DVD, which control the rings. It is rare for a missing
children’s case to be prosecuted diligently in either
country - if one of the rings is involved political
interference, as in this case, becomes almost
inevitable. THE DEUTSCHES VERTEIDIGUNGS DIENST (DVD)
9. This agency could be the topic of a book rather
than a paper, which might then cause a number of
post-war history books to be re-written. The DVD was
set up in 1943 after Germany’s defeat in the Battle of
the Kursk Salient, the failure of the U-Boat campaign
to sever the vital transatlantic link and the collapse
of covert negotiations, via the Dulles brothers, to
make a separate peace with the United States.
GeneralLeutnant Erwin von Lahousen, one of Canaris’s
Section Chiefs, who dropped off our intelligence radar
in the autumn of 1943, was the first operational
director. The DVD was Germany’s insurance against
defeat. Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, who faked his own
death after a deal with SS Reichsfuhrer Himmler,
whereby the Admiral offered to use his Western
contacts to secure favourable treatment for Himmler in
exchange for his life (the Admiral reneged and
Himmler’s cyanide pill was politely returned to him by
a British military intelligence officer, who in turn
reported to a very quiet section of military
intelligence, MI18, which was eventually wound up,
officially at any rate) ensured that critical Abwehr
files and control of the German high-level overseas
networks were transferred to Dachau, DVD HQ, from the
autumn of 1943. Those networks were not rolled up
after 1945 and in each country occupied by Germany a
stay-behind intelligence organisation was set up, as
well as in Madrid and Lisbon. The DVD specialises in
talent-spotting future leaders (they have long had
recruiters at Oxford and Cambridge, eg, taking over
the Abwehr’s efficient operations in each town, which
recruited a number of major political leaders) and in
exploiting the weaknesses of some politicians. It has
made effective use of paedophile rings, but aside from
the ethical and legal objections to this entirely
criminal and amoral policy, which entails the murder,
very often in snuff movies, of the desperately
unfortunate children seized by the rings, it is
dangerous, because of the wash-back on Germany should
it be exposed. 10. Since Germany has used covert
control of international organisations to exercise
influence since German Intelligence, which was not
broken up in 1918, got its men Jean Monnet and Arthur
Salter into the League of Nations HQ in 1919 (the real
reason the US Senate rejected the Versailles Treaty,
ie key Republican Senators with intelligence
connections were tipped off)(Kurt Waldheim was not
selected as UN Secretary-General in ignorance of his
wartime role as an intelligence officer working for
the Abwehr inside the SD, but because of it), the
wash-back following exposure would affect not only
Germany, but also organisations such as the EU, which
are the political beneficiaries of favourable policy
decisions from paedophile national leaders ‘rewarded’
by access to kidnapped children. It should be possible
to track ring activity against say EU
inter-governmental conferences, just as Provisional
IRA activity (the DVD took over the Abwehr’s extensive
Irish Free State network in 1944, the IRA was
false-flagged via KGB until 1969) can be measured
against German or EU strategic objectives (attacks on
the City, eg, in the run-up to the choice of HQ for
the ECB). Thus May saw an upsurge in abductions of
children across Europe. No one warned parents taking
young children to holiday destinations inside the EU
that they should take extra precautions to protect
their offspring or that if a DVD-backed paedophile
ring were involved official assistance might be tardy,
compromised or inefficient. RUN-UP TO THE KIDNAP 11.
The McCann family (Drs Gerry and Kate McCann,
Madeleine, aged 3, and twins Sean and Amelie, aged 2)
left Rothley, Leicestershire, England for a
much-anticipated holiday at Praia da Luz on the
Algarve on Saturday 28th April 2007, flying to Faro,
Portugal. There was an area of high pressure over the
Bay of Lagos and weather conditions were fine, with
little or no wind. Madeleine’s Cuddle Cat toy was
tucked safely into a bag and nothing could have been
further from the family’s mind than being at the
centre of an international incident, leading to
discreetly heightened military states of alert, (and
possible re-targeting of Russian Federation Strategic
Rocket Forces ICBMs and IRBMs on Germany), triggering
a crisis of confidence in the Portuguese Republic and
accelerating a collapse in the price of holidays in
the EU, to the point where they are now on sale for
under £10, including flights, but not Air Passenger
Duty (it is doubtful if the Treasury thought this
would be the most expensive component of a package
holiday). Praia da Luz and the Mark Warner Ocean Club
complex in particular were held out as a safe family
destination. The Portuguese authorities must have been
aware of organised paedophile activity in the Faro
region in the run-up to 3rd May. Several children had
either been abducted, or had survived abduction
attempts, in the six months prior to the McCanns’
arrival. No one alerted the Mark Warner Organisation
to the dangers posed to young children, security at
resorts was not heightened and there was no extra
police presence on the streets to act as a deterrent.
12. On either the 29th or 30th April Madeleine was
photographed using a digital camera, very possibly a
mobile (cell) phone camera, on an Algarve beach,
probably Sagres, near Cape St.Vincent, scene of Sir
John Jervis’ great victory. This photograph, together
with possibly two others (the reporting is unclear)
were sent on or about 1st May, as e-mail attachments,
from a computer in Praia da Luz used by an
intelligence gatherer for the Lisbon ring, who has
been interviewed by Portuguese police, to an e-mail
address in Brussels linked to the Belgian ring closest
to the EU. This e-mail was intercepted at a switching
centre, but its significance was not appreciated until
after Madeleine’s abduction. The paedophile being
serviced in Brussels seems to have specified
blonde-haired girls, aged about 5, preferably British.
Reporting suggests that, tragically for her, Madeleine
was selected by this morally worthless individual, who
must have appreciated that she could not be released
alive after he had finished abusing her. 13. Also on
1st May the motor yacht Stentor, length 11.7 metres,
beam 3.7 metres, standard displacement approximately 4
tons, approximate maritime endurance 28 days, 36 BHP
diesel engine, flying the Dutch flag, pennant number
6571ZG1999, home port Sneek, owner J, a subject of Her
Netherlands Majesty, operating from Amsterdam, whose
full details have been communicated to the Netherlands
General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD),
sortied from Portimao, about 15 nautical miles from
Praia da Luz, positioning itself at the Lagos Marina,
about 5 statute miles from the Mark Warner Complex. J
seems to have made contact between 1st and 3rd May
with Sergey Malinka, a Russian Federation Citizen,
interviewed by Portuguese Police (but only after media
inquiries had linked him to the only formal suspect, a
British Citizen named Robert Murat, and he was tipped
off, allowing him to wipe his hard drive) who is
understood to have come under SVR investigation and
may have been linked by them to a DVD-controlled
narcotics trafficking ring, trafficking Northern
Valley cartel cocaine to the Iberian Peninsular via
the Gulf of Guinea, using a transhipment point on an
island in the Sao Tome and Principe group known to the
DVD, as indeed it was known to German Naval
Intelligence in World War Two (the DVD are ruthless,
but not Nazis, they are not that stupid). 14. The
McCann family was placed under surveillance from 1st
May. The routine followed on 3rd May had already been
followed on previous nights, although not every night.
A group of British families left their apartment doors
unlocked, so that adults could check on the children.
Drs Gerry and Kate McCann were not far from their
apartment on Thursday 3rd May. Whilst they were not
able to keep it under continuous observation they were
no more than 40 yards away, the children were fast
asleep, none of them was unwell, and responsible
adults, including themselves, were making regular
checks throughout the evening. The adults could not
eat in the self-catering apartment without disturbing
the childrens’ sleep and if they were to dine together
realistically that needed to be outside. The tapas bar
where Madeleine’s parents dined is part of the Ocean
Club complex. It is less than a minute away from the
apartment where the family was staying. Neither parent
was armed, indeed they would not have been permitted
to board a commercial aircraft with firearms even if
they possessed any (which they do not). Not having
received a warning of predatory criminal activity in
the area, none of the Mark Warner staff possessed so
much as a side-arm. 15. The parents have been
criticised for these arrangements, indeed Portuguese
officials briefed the media that they might be
prosecuted for neglect, but there are no grounds for
supposing that there was a breach of Portuguese law,
nor would these arrangements be grounds for any
proceedings in an English court. The key points to
remember, it is submitted, are that there were regular
checks by trusted adults known to the McCanns, as well
as the McCanns themselves, ie the British families at
the Ocean Club complex were looking out for each
other, they were not warned about organised paedophile
activity, indeed they were assured in terms that this
was a safe environment for their children, and the
parents never left the Ocean Club complex where their
children were asleep. The last check on the children
was at about 2010Z. THE KIDNAP OF MADELEINE McCANN 16.
In the afternoon of 3rd May the motor yacht Panic II,
Dutch registry, owned by A (whose full details again
have been communicated to AIVD in The Hague), pennant
number P2006/39060, home port Hellevoetsluis
Netherlands, built 1983, single-masted, single
aluminium hull, length 10.2 metres, beam 3.3 metres,
approximate standard displacement 3.5 tons, fitted it
is believed with a 2-stroke diesel engine, positioned
from Portimao, where she had arrived on the 1st, to
Lagos. She waited there until about 1945Z, just before
the marina was shut at 2000Z by lowering a lifting
bridge, then moved out beyond the lifting bridge,
where she was moored to a pontoon on the port side of
the small canal leading to the open sea, where she
waited. Sergey Malinka left his home in Praia da Luz
some time between the Panic II’s arrival and
Madeleine’s kidnap. It is believed he was in
communication with A and his wife on board the Panic
II. There is name recognition of A from intelligence
sources. Drs Gerry and Kate McCann seem to have been
under continuous surveillance by a male, name unknown,
possibly of Spanish or Moroccan nationality. 17. At
around 2035Z heavy shutters to a ground floor window
to the McCanns’ ground floor apartment were forced
open and entry was gained through the window, which
was not particularly secure once the shutters had been
opened. There was a team of two, a man and a woman,
who spoke English. Entry having been gained they would
doubtless have appreciated an intelligence failure, as
the families had left the front doors unlocked, so
that the group could look in on the children. No alarm
system was fitted and very frankly with such locks as
were fitted it would have made no difference whether
the door was locked or not. There may have been a
chain but it was too high for the children to reach,
ie its use was not practicable. In any event the
security mechanisms would not have delayed entry by
more than seconds. Madeleine (I am told her parents
are most insistent she be referred to as Madeleine)
seems to have been asleep, clutching her favourite
Cuddle Cat toy. All the children, excited no doubt by
their seaside holiday, were very tired and almost
certainly sound asleep, as they were when checked at
2010Z. Media commentary suggests it would have made a
difference had an adult been baby-sitting, but it is
submitted this is unreal. 18. There is no reason
whatsoever to suppose this team were unarmed, indeed
there is reason to believe each of the males (one on
the ****** team and one keeping guard) was equipped
with a Makarov 9 mm semi-automatic pistol, fitted with
a silencer. The woman was also probably armed,
possibly with a smaller calibre Beretta, again fitted
with a silencer. Since the reporting of COMINT traffic
suggests that Madeleine was to be abused by a
high-ranking Brussels-based official in the EU the
operation clearly involved her eventual murder. The
team of three may have murdered many children in the
making of ’snuff’ movies and all the evidence suggests
that they are experienced and brutal child-killers,
who would have killed an adult getting in their way
without compunction. 19. A further explanation re the
German DVD might assist, if only to deal with the
quaint notion that this highly organised, albeit
insane, operation might have been stopped by an
unarmed babysitter. The DVD are the world’s most
ruthless, as well as most secretive, intelligence
organisation - they conceived, eg, the operational
plans for the Brighton Bombing (ingenious but flawed),
the destruction of PanAm Flight 103 (conceived in
haste and it showed) and 9-11 (ludicrous, 47,000
deaths short of the kill target, which thankfully was
never going to be reached, given the genius of the
design of the Twin Towers, not that 3,000 dead wasn’t
bad enough, and well short of the economic goal of
sabotaging the US airline & aviation industries) - and
took in the ‘cream’ of the Abwehr, SD and Gestapo
(Heinrich Mueller, for example, who also faked his own
death, indeed there were the remains of two people in
his coffin, neither of them him) in 1944-6. Martin
Bormann, Dr. Josef Mengele and Adolf Eichmann were all
DVD, which is why the Mossad, on whom the DVD have
waged war since 1948, lifted him, and why Rafi Eitan,
God Bless him, was able to persuade Isser Harel to
persuade El Al to fork out for a 300-series Bristol
Britannia, a not inexpensive bit of kit, for the
operation. The DVD lurk behind most Islamic terror
groups and their paedophile ring operations, whilst
hugely successful in terms of political blackmail,
have seen the murder of hundreds of children. Possibly
as a spin-off from this investigation (the arrests
happened over the weekend of 2nd and 3rd June after a
tip-off to the Spanish CNI), a racket smuggling
children from Brazil to Portugal and Spain has been
blown, ie it looks as though some of the homeless
children being abducted in cities such as Sao Paolo
ended up being abused by politicians and senior
officials in the EU. Intel re the DVD is STRATINT
(Strategic Intelligence), ie intelligence which might
alter the course of history, influence events or
affect policy-making at the strategic level. 20. The
Panic II waited whilst Madeleine was seized from the
apartment. Seemingly reliable eyewitnesses report
seeing a child answering Madeleine’s description being
taken in a white Renault (it was a Clio) from Praia da
Luz towards Lagos and being taken, struggling, towards
the marina in Lagos itself. It does not appear that
she was drugged. One possible explanation for that is
dosage, ie it is easier than it sounds to assess the
right dosage to render a small child unconscious
without killing him or her. We will probably find that
members of this ring have killed small children before
they could be abused through unintentional overdoses.
EXFILTRATION 21. The Panic II sortied at about 2115Z,
having filed a destination report of Albufeira, about
3-4 hours sailing time away, an odd time to set sail
on a holiday cruise. She seems to have rendezvoused,
using GPS, at sea, doubling back on her original
easterly course once over the horizon, with the
Stentor, which arrived in Albufeira on 5th May, having
given an original destination of Sines, on the west
coast. She left again on the 6th, ostensibly headed
for Lisbon. The Panic II never arrived at Albufeira,
ie we have two yachts giving seemingly false
destinations, indeed the author has seen no reporting
of the Panic II after 3rd May. Neither owner of these
yachts has come forward, which calls for comment in
itself since they were first two boats out of Lagos
after the kidnap and it has been reported widely that
an eyewitness saw a young girl looking like Madeleine
being dragged towards the marina. Reporting suggests
that at least part of these transfers was caught by
Low Light Level (LLL) electro-optical imagery from a
US (NRO) KH-13 recon satellite in non-geostationary
earth orbit. In the author’s estimation the original
intention was to take Madeleine to a small harbour or
inlet on the north Belgian coast, with say a 10
nautical mile radius of Antwerp, using up to 4 yachts,
with at-sea transfer co-ordinated using GPS, which
would attract little suspicion at this time of year,
especially if their starting point was well away from
Portugal (the last yacht for example could have
sortied from Cowes). An average line of advance of 7.5
knots is realistic. Detailed analysis by small-boat
specialists, based on up to date charts,
meteorological data (there was heavy weather in the
Bay of Biscay after the 3rd), tides and currents,
suggests a journey-time of 10-11 days, with an
original ETA of the night of 13th/14th May. 22. There
is no reporting of any suspicious air movement in the
Faro Region on 3rd May, no reliable reporting of
Madeleine in Spain and no sign of her on the CCTV tape
taken at a petrol station on the A22 expressway, which
appears to catch the ****** team of two men and a
woman in the Renault Clio. OSINT (Open Sourced
Intelligence) suggests that this unnamed group (if
innocent, why not come forward and speak to the
police?) could not possibly be involved as they would
not take such a risk as to obtain petrol at a garage
with CCTV, assuming they knew about the cameras. There
is no reason to suppose however that Madeleine was
with them - she could only have been ‘concealed’ in
the hatchback area. Even with a proper boot,
concealing a kidnap victim in it is more difficult
than it sounds, unless the victim is drugged, and
drugging, especially of children, by non-medical
personnel, brings its own problems. The author knows
intelligence officers who have concealed people in
boots of cars and it is usually done with willing
adults for short hops across frontiers. It is not
clear how much petrol was purchased, but it does not
appear to have been a full tank (which in most
versions of the Clio is 55 litres, just over 12
Imperial gallons), ie this may just have been a
top-up, bearing in mind the ****** team had a long,
night-time journey ahead of them, not all on
Autopistas, nor could they know for sure that the
request for a 12 hour getaway window would be honoured
(it seems as though they asked for 15 hours including
a 3-hour reserve, and DCCB in Lisbon cut it back to 12
as the magnitude of the blunder in selecting Madeleine
became apparent). 23. Reporting suggests that the
Renault Clio ends up at a safe house near National
Route IV, within a 25-mile radius of Valdepenas, in
the Toledo Region of Spain, south of Madrid. Reporting
also suggests this facility includes a converted barn,
where ’snuff’ movies have been shot, and is surrounded
by the shallow graves of dozens of children, whom
reporting suggests are mostly French, kidnapped from
the streets of Paris. Satellite observation appears to
confirm the shallow graves. The CNI were tipped off,
through a cut-out, backed up by direct contact with
Spanish Intelligence in London. A number of
intelligence officers may have reconnoitred this site,
as the reporting is coming in from multiple sources.
The People story on 4th June suggests, recklessly in
the author’s opinion (efforts, including liaison with
the DA-Notice Committee, have been made for two weeks
to keep mention of Morocco out of the public domain)
that Madeleine may have been taken via the fast ferry
from Tarifa in Spain to Tangiers. That is hardly
likely (Moroccan Customs are efficient), but there is
reporting of a team of two men and woman in Morocco,
and it may be the same team. Given the pressure now
being applied on the safe house it is not unreasonable
to suppose that the ****** team may have been ordered
south to Morocco. The People report, which quotes
sources “close to the investigation” suggests that
GCHQ have been monitoring relevant mobile phone calls
from Morocco, with references, unsurprisingly, to a
German. German intelligence activity in Morocco of
course goes back over a century (it was a German
strategic ambition to control both sides of the
approaches to the Straits of Gibraltar, and the
brutal, failed 1971 coup was masterminded by
GeneralLeutnant Otto Ernst Remmer of the DVD, a
courageous but ruthless intelligence officer) (the DVD
is an intelligence agency, not part of the German
military, indeed it is not officially an organ of the
German state at all, but when engaging DVD officers of
general rank in conversation, eg the late
GeneralOberst Markus Wolf, it has been the author’s
experience that punctilious observance of rank is
advised) . 24. In the author’s assessment the
DVD-controlled rings (essentially any ring operating
inside the EU and supplying bio-leverage material to
the DVD) are sending children to this facility (and no
doubt others) to be murdered in the course of snuff
movies, after they have been abused to the point where
they are no longer of interest to the politicians,
officials and others being serviced. Their tragic and
violent ends are then filmed for profit. THE RV NAOMI
CORLETT 25. Reporting placed Madeleine on the RV Naomi
Corlett as long ago as 18th May. This intelligence was
passed immediately to the Operation Task incident room
at Leicester, but it was accorded a low priority, even
after the one-day conference on Thursday 24th May.
With respect it does not seem to have been fully
appreciated that positional intelligence of this type
is time limited, ie it has to be verified and acted
upon quickly. Contrary to the author’s suggestion no
application was made for military assistance to the
civil power. The Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS)
cannot be criticised for the decision to wait for such
a request before acting - in the UK this has been a
police-led, not intelligence-led inquiry, and the
constitutional position is that military assets are
not committed until requested. Operation Task in turn
deferred to the DCCB, the reasoning being that it was
up to the Portuguese to request a board and search.
Such thinking would have been sound had there been any
intelligence placing the Naomi Corlett in the
territorial sea of Portugal. This vessel was last
reported alongside in Lagos as long as 29th September
2003 however and there is no reporting of her in
Portuguese waters. The author makes no apology for
pushing hard for this vessel to be tracked, boarded
and searched. 26. The Naomi Corlett is operated by the
Corlett Line, an ostensibly reputable company running
tours to Sao Tome and Principe in the Gulf of Guinea,
one of the world’s less visited holiday destinations.
Photographs of her appear at www.corlettline.info,
under the ‘research’ tab. Further details, including
her involvement in a search for gold lost on HMS
Sussex in 1694, appear at www.corlettmaritima.com, a
site which links Sergey Malinka to the Corlett Line
and thence the Naomi Corlett. She is a former trawler,
built in New Orleans LA, originally named the MV
Seahawk. She was sold to the Corlett Line in Gibraltar
in 2001 (Royal Gibraltar Police have been extremely
helpful and efficient). Her call-sign is ZITW2,
displacement 149 tons and registry, apparently,
Portuguese. There is an infra-red and sound proofed
compartment, where it is believed Madeleine was being
held. The boat is fitted with a high-capacity A-Frame
and appears to have had some interesting modifications
below the waterline. She may be fitted with a
hull-mounted sonar, possibly something like an Atlas
Elektronik DBQS-21D. It is not possible wholly to
exclude two underwater 533mm torpedo tubes - the DVD
have deep connections inside the German defence
industry (and banks, especially those operating before
1945) and are involved in covert supplies of weapons,
including torpedoes, to rogue states such as Iran. 27.
Reporting places her 100 miles north or south of
Casablanca, which should have been firmed up on or
after 18th May by satellite or UAV recon. She is said
to be alongside in a small port and reporting suggests
that a team of two men and a woman (this might be the
****** team) come ashore in the evening and go to a
bar, presumably for orders. Some of this reporting is
probably based on covert ground observation, coming to
the author through a cut-out. What is unclear is
whether there was a direct transfer from the Stentor
or whether there was a fourth vessel involved.
JARIC/GCHQ 28. The NSA were asked, informally, to
assist as early as 6th May. They cannot confirm that
directly of course, since any assistance was rendered
on a deniable basis, but there is no reason to doubt
that relevant IMINT and COMINT was being passed to
GCHQ as early as 7th May, which was not passed to
those who needed to know (ie Operation Task).
Satellite coverage of the Moroccan coast, inevitably,
is intermittent, giving windows of opportunity to the
ring to move Madeleine onshore or to another vessel,
perhaps briefly going to sea for that purpose.
Courtesy of the deniable assistance of MCC an informal
conference was convened in secure surroundings at
Lords on the 4th day of the First Test (Sunday 20th
May)(the author will not lengthen this assessment by
explaining to the US recipients how a ball game can go
five days without a result), which so far as the
author knows saw MOD and police for the first time in
the same room at the same time discussing this case
(reporting lines went back to CDS and the Metropolitan
Police Commissioner, who chanced to be at Lords that
day). The author’s recommendation was that with the
consent of His Moroccan Majesty’s Government Special
Forces, with appropriate medical backing, be tasked to
board and search the RV Naomi Corlett, preferably
under hours of darkness, without delay. At that time
it seemed she was anchored offshore, and one obvious
method of covert approach would be to use an SSN,
whilst allowing for the possibility of hull-mounted
active and passive sonar arrays. Nothing was done
however, that is to say everything was left to
Leicestershire Constabulary, who left it to the
Portuguese authorities, who made no request about
which the author can be told to the Moroccan
Government. 29. After dialling in on the morning of
30th May, the author received a call several hours
later (no doubt after background checks and clearance)
from a nice lady Flight Lieutenant at JARIC (Joint Air
Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre), the intention
being to hook JARIC up directly with NSA on a STU-3
encrypted line. This system is compromised, but as
always encryption provides delay and a degree of
additional security. As the author well knew JARIC has
been tasked to assist in searches for civilian
detainees (eg the Johnson kidnap in Gaza Strip) and
there are arrangements for sanitising (it has the
facility to sanitise IMINT and pass to civilian
police). Interference was run from Whitehall however
and JARIC were pulled off the search on the 31st. If
the highly competent Flight Lieutenant has been
re-assigned, the respectful suggestion to CDI is that
she be restored to duty forthwith and promoted
immediately to Squadron Leader. So far as the author
is aware she is the only British intelligence officer
to have grasped the implications of this case, the
need to act without delay and the importance of having
our intelligence community act in accordance with core
British values, which do not, as the author conceives
them to be, extend to leaving a helpless British
infant to a grisly fate at the hands of a foreign
power, however disguised those hands may be. These
core values are shared with our American allies and if
the NSA can act in accordance with them there is no
reason, it is submitted, why DIS, GCHQ and JARIC could
not follow their splendid, but deniable, example.
MOROCCAN CAPABILITIES 30. With official paralysis in
Whitehall, partly due, surely, to the dual
premiership, which in practice has proved unworkable
to the point of exposing British Citizens to mortal
danger, two discreet channels were opened up to His
Moroccan Majesty’s Government. With respect His
Majesty King Mohammed VI is a good king, and His
Consort, Princess Salma, would undoubtedly have a deep
understanding of the anguish of Madeleine’s parents.
It was reasonable to suppose the Moroccans would act
with humanity and efficiency, but Madeleine is a
British Citizen and there was no official request
either from London, or her parents, who in practice
are dependent for intelligence upon the DCCB
(resources are being put into campaigning and rightly
so, but no resources are available for
intelligence-gathering). Moroccan capabilities should
not be underestimated. They have a very usable UAV
platform, the R4E-50, with a pre-programmable, GPS
linked, navigation facility and an effective sensor
suite including LLL TV with live downlink and Forward
Looking Infra Red (FLIR). With an endurance of 12
hours 3 R4E-50s could give sustainable 24-hour recon
of the vessel of interest. The Royal Guard are loyal
and well-trained, and despite the best efforts of the
DVD’s Karim al-Majati do not appear to have been
penetrated by Al Qaeda. The Light Security Brigade
would be available for back-up. The Royal Moroccan Air
Force is well equipped and trained and at least two of
their C-130H Hercules aircraft have been fitted with
the Motorola APS-94 side-scan radar, ideal for the
task. The Moroccans should still be asked to board and
search the Naomi Corlett, since it is the best lead to
Madeleine. The efficient Moroccan DST have capable
interrogation experts, who would of course show an
appropriate level of regard for the suspects’ human
rights. LIEGE 31. It was unreasonable to suppose that
with over two weeks of official inactivity and lack of
co-ordination in London and Leicester the ring would
continue to hold Madeleine on the Naomi Corlett. It is
reasonable to suppose efforts to move her were started
soon after the Portuguese were tipped off from
Leicester. There is recent (3rd June) OSINT reporting,
prompting a 24 hour delay in completing this
assessment, of a sighting of Madeleine in Liege,
Belgium. Given known paedophile ring activity there
and apparent tacit support, sadly, of the Belgian
Government for the activities of the two DVD-backed
rings on Belgian soil (which if true would be
unsurprising given Belgium’s support for the EU and
the reported presence of paedophiles in the
government), and the detail of the sighting report
(noting the distinguishing feature in Madeleine’s
right eye), the author is inclined to treat it as
prima facie credible (the sighting report by a
Norwegian Subject, variously described as British or
Nigerian, Marie Olli, in Marrakesh on 9th May, may be
of Madeleine, but is much more likely to have been of
a similar young girl - this would make sense as the
ring is catering to a specific, depraved, paedophile
taste). 32. This report needs verifying without delay.
She may still be on board the Naomi Corlett, but that
would require a remarkable degree of arrogance or
complacency on the part of the ring and the DVD. If
Madeleine is traced to Belgium, the assistance of the
Belgian authorities may not be forthcoming and a
Special Forces rescue mission is simply out. Tactical
surprise could not be achieved. It would need to be a
Special Forces led commando raid with air support (the
British people would expect nothing less if told the
Belgians had refused to help). Our forces would most
likely have to fight their way out, protecting
Madeleine to their utmost, runways would have to be
disabled with JP233s and Coningsby’s new Typhoon F1s
would be needed for a CAP. The risks are obvious.
Realistically, rather than mounting a rescue, the UK
would need to ask the Belgians to rescue Madeleine and
if such a request were refused, break off diplomatic
relations with the King of the Belgians (in reality
Anglo-Belgian relations collapsed in the Gulf War) and
issue an ultimatum, which would lead to (1) compliance
and Madeleine’s safe recovery (2) refusal, followed by
the rapid collapse of the Belgian Government and
compliance or (3) refusal and all that follows in
public international law and relations between states
when one state involves itself in the capture, sexual
abuse and murder of infant children from another state
for political purposes. 33. The Russians must be
watching this fiasco with growing interest. They too
have satellites, and their capable intelligence (which
by the way had nothing whatsoever to do with the death
of Lt-Colonel Litvinenko, as a close analysis of the
autopsy report and the Polonium signature (Iranian,
delivered via an airfield outside Hamburg) ought to
reveal) will undoubtedly have determined the DVD to be
involved. I am aware from conversations at a senior
intelligence adviser to the President level in Moscow
that the SVR are aware of the DVD, and know that
‘commercial’ German IMINT was supplied to the
terrorists at Beslan by the DVD. I am led to believe
that the Madeleine crisis featured in conversation
between Presidents Putin and Clinton in a quiet
meeting in Austria. The Russians are not angry at the
moment with their war-time allies, but with their
wartime enemies. The degree of German political
influence in London and Washington is understood in
Moscow, and the current diplomatic crisis is in
reality a Russo-German crisis. Russian forces seem to
have been put on a higher state of alert. No doubt
JARIC are keeping an eye out for major Russian troop
movements westwards and GCHQ are keeping an ear out
for an increase in Russian military radio traffic and
traffic between Moscow, Minsk and Warsaw. Polish
Intelligence are well aware, at a senior level, of the
DVD’s role in the attempted assassination of Poland’s
courageous former Prime Minister Laszek Miller, in
order to stop Poland vetoing a previous constitutional
treaty, and Polish-German relations have cooled in
consequence. SSKs 34. There is reporting of unusual
sonar traces, possibly picked up on the SOSUS network,
of SSK activity in the Gulf of Cadiz/Lagos Bay sea
areas, although how unusual may not have been clear at
first. One or more transfers may have been executed by
an SSK, including possibly a transfer to Belgium, but
if so it will have been a very old, albeit refitted
SSK, normally used for cocaine shipments to the US
East Coast and the Iberian Peninsular. These will
almost certainly be part of the small fleet of Type
XXI long-range transport U-Boats ordered by German
Naval Intelligence in 1943 from the F Schichau yard in
Danzig, built under cover (these are the ‘missing’
Type XXIs U-2532, U-2547, U-2549, U-2550, U-3042 and
U-3043, with a reduced torpedo load and large cargo
hold forward, they were also adapted for carrying
special passengers). One or more of these boats, and
the Naomi Corlett, appear to be using an old covert
U-Boat base in Sao Tome and Principe as a
trans-shipment point. This base was used by boats such
as Leutnant Jost Metzler’s U-69 in 1941 (U-69 had two
logs, like the KMS Graf Spee, one to show where she
had been and one to show where she had really been.)
Typical cocaine load is about 50 metric tons. The DEA
and National Drug Intelligence Center in the USA have
been made aware. They are interested. ROBERT MURAT 35.
Put very simply, he is not involved. He is a slightly
odd character (not so odd that he pops out his glass
eye as solemnly reported by the media, he is unsighted
in one eye, but it is not glass) with a complicated
private life, but there is not a shred of evidence
linking him to this very grave crime. He does however
have a British connection through his mother and was,
it may be thought, a most convenient patsy. CONCLUSION
36. Abandoning Madeleine to her fate is not, repeat
not, an option. Aside from the dubious morality of
such a course, the blow to British prestige would be
immense and no government could survive the political
fall-out. The younger and more vulnerable a British
Citizen in mortal danger the greater the
responsibility of government to protect her becomes.
Any one disagreeing is welcome to watch what happens
were a minister to try and hold such a position in the
House of Commons. In reality the politically insane
strategy of abandoning Madeleine is a deception
strategy, ie it is based on the assumption that the
truth that we know or knew where Madeleine was being
held to a high degree of confidence could be with-held
from the public. As they might say in CISEN (Mexican
Intelligence): ‘no way, Jose.’ RECOMMENDATION FOR
ACTION 37. With great respect the double-hatting of
the Permanent Secretary in the Cabinet Office is not
working as well as it should, without criticising Sir
Richard (it was not in any event his idea). The JIC
should be brought in without delay, all available
IMINT, COMINT and SIGINT should be made available to
it, even if classified under the present equivalent of
Spoke, COBRA should be convened, and the Prime
Minister in Waiting, with respect, should take the
chair. Madeleine should be located without delay, the
boarding of the RV Naomi Corlett should contribute to
that, and Madeleine should be rescued. An urgent
search should also be undertaken for linked SSKs. This
operation will probably also lead to a minimum 50%
reduction (say 175 metric tons) in DVD (in effect
German) sponsored cocaine trafficking into the UK,
saving perhaps 15,000 lives a year, and major
interdictions of cocaine shipments into the US Eastern
Seaboard. It should also lead to a major increase in
understanding in the UKUSA Intelligence Community of
the links between organised crime and hostile
intelligence agencies. These are positive strategic
outcomes. MICHAEL SHRIMPTON ADVISORY BOARD GERARD

Michael Shrimpton

Michael Shrimpton is a National Security Lawyer, who
sprang to national prominence when he inspired and led
the British bid for Rolls-Royce Motors in 1998. Behind
the scenes he became known to every major intelligence
agency in the Western World as the partnership he
forged with former CIA Deputy Director Lt-General
Vernon Walters saw General Pinochet returned to Chile
and more than one intelligence officer bailed out of
trouble. Since 9-11 he has come into the open as an
intelligence lawyer and national security and
counter-terrorism issues have dominated his
professional life. He has survived one assassination
attempt, been within 50 yards of an active Hezbollah
terrorist unit, provided critical intelligence on
terrorist operations and been invited to the
headquarters of more than one intelligence agency. A
regular visitor to the Pentagon since 9-11, he was
invited on board USS Enterprise, completing his first
carrier landing and catapult launch cycle in the
process, in February 2006, and to the White House in
June 2006.

A specialist in strategic studies, international
affairs, counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence,
Michael Shrimpton is a member of the International
Institute for Strategic Studies, the Royal Institute
of International Affairs and the Royal United Services
Institute. A former Labour Parliamentary and European
Parliamentary Candidate he defected to the
Conservatives on Europe and defence in July 1997. A
powerful neoconservative with a formidable intellect
and tremendous energy, he has the ability to scythe
through bad arguments (such as Global Warming
Hypothesis), plug leaks (he has been consulted by
counter-intelligence officers) and expose propaganda
operations such as the faked ‘hood’ Abu Ghraib photo,
or the attempt to smear the US Marines over
al-Haditha. He is a man behind the news, whose
presence is noted on his frequent visits to foreign
capitals.

Michael Shrimpton was schooled in Britain and
Australia and read law at the Universities of
Queensland and Wales, graduating with an LLB (Hons) in
1981, when he was elected President of the Union of UC
Cardiff. As a Cadet Pilot with the University of Wales
Air Squadron he was trained to fly on the Bulldog T Mk
1, going first solo in 1979. Aviation literate, he has
flown classic aircraft such as the Auster AO Mk 6,
landed north of the Artic Circle in a DC-3, flown in a
seaplane in Canada and in British and US military
aircraft. He was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn in
1983 and was a part-time Chairman of the Immigration
Appeal Tribunal from 1992 until its abolition in 2005.
He is a part-time faculty member in the Intelligence
Studies Department of the American Military University
and was formerly a part-time Senior Lecturer in Law at
Thames Valley University.

A charismatic speaker, who has delivered speeches in
London, Washington, Jerusalem, Copenhagen, Stockholm,
Los Angeles and many places besides, Michael Shrimpton
has been a guest on Fox News, Sky, the BBC and CNN. He
was a speaker at the Intelligence Summits in
Washington in 2005 and 2006, is writing two books on
aviation related subjects and has published in
specialist legal and national security journals. He
has also written for the London Times and prepared
intelligence assessments for use at the highest
levels. He sits on the Advisory Board of Gerard Group
International.
