I Know My First Name is Madeleine...

What happened to Madeleine McCann?

It may have escaped some, but Netflix are currently screening their hotly anticipated, although rather controversial, ‘The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann’ documentary.

A brief history: Madeleine McCann (aka Maddie) was a three-year-old British child reported missing on Thursday, May 3, 2007, while on holiday with her family (and close family friends) in Praia Da Luz, Portugal. 

Though Maddie’s whereabouts are still unknown, over the years, there have been several reports of her being seen alive. Along with these, plenty of circulating talk of murder and political intrigue, police corruption, paedophile gangs, and out-of-place celebrity connections. All of this adding further to the confusion over what really happened in Portugal that night.

Despite these reports, rumours, and the myriad of theories, British Police are no closer to finding out what happened to the little girl or learning where she is today. It’s unknown whether Maddie is dead or alive. (I emphasize British, as the Portuguese Police in charge of the investigation at the time, came to their Occam's Razor conclusion in 2007, later to be refuted without further investigation thus closing the case until more evidence is produced, while Kate and Gerry McCann remain suspects/persons of interest). 

Look familiar?

On this close anniversary, what would be Maddie’s twelfth birthday (May 12th), it’s notable to see a resurgence of interest in her disappearance. I’ve written in the past about some of the ridiculous ‘evidence’ in this case, namely on the Photofit Phantom…

https://thesignificanceofr.blogspot.com/2013/10/photo-fit-phantom.html

Here is the link to a tiny part of it, the infamous and mostly forgotten photofit of a suspect known as ‘Egg Man’.

There is so much information to be found online that I won’t repeat here. But a basic Google search will find you some convincing interviews, and the truth about missing children around the world. Maddie’s case is altogether a great mystery because nothing can be tied down. There’s plenty of information (accidentally on-purpose) hidden from the mainstream public access. If you’re really interested, you need to dig a little deeper than a sensationalistic Netflix serial. 

I’ve not yet seen this Netflix ‘diamond’ of a documentary, but no doubt can pretty much guess what will be in it, having studied the case in its entirety since 2007, communicating with real investigators in the case, and actually reading the transcript of the Police interviews at the time. 

Try looking for intriguing pieces about how Kate and Gerry McCann answer those questions from journalists all over the world when asked if they killed their daughter, or the Cadaver Dog evidence, where statistically, a shocking conclusion may be drawn... a clue to the mantra you hear often in this case that sadly... ‘Dogs don’t’ lie’. 

I would love for some amazing miracle to occur… for Maddie or Madeline to come walking into a room full of reporters, glaring lights, microphones swinging, and an internet live stream of ‘Breaking News’ flashing across the wide screen. For her to say ‘I know my first name is Madeleine’… but somehow this is one of those miracles that is just not going to happen.

Something's missing?

Out of the Blue

One of the four finalists in the design a new flag for New Zealand Referendum 2015

New Zealand, what an awe-inspiring place. So far away from England's usual holiday traps, and a rare choice for the timid explorer. With its magical vistas, and fantastical cinematic landscape, its a Bucket-List destination. Sadly, like any other 'developed' country, it has its share of controversy too, and isn't shy to deal its hand on the world stage when it comes to conflict and political shenanigans.

From a synchromystic point of view, it's clear to see that there is a lot of symbolism happening right now with the latest news out of New Zealand. Others can probably explain the meanings, strange coincidences and the correct gematria angle.

However, I too have noticed the symmetrical or numerical occurrence of the letters in the name of the latest (anonymously funded) 'faux neo-Nazi' terrorist: Brenton Tarrant...
B r e n t o n T a r r a n t = 14 letters

(not including a middle name here)

A 2

R 3

T 3

N 3                                                                                   

E 1

O 1

B 1

Meaning of Tarrant = English topographic name for someone living on the banks of the Tarrant river in Dorset, England, of which the name is of the same origin as Trent.

Meaning of Brenton = is an English place name and surname. The surname Brenton indicates that one's ancestors came from a place called Brenton near Exminster, Devon, England, the original meaning of which was "Bryni's homestead". Bryni was an Old English given name based on the word bryne, "flame".

There appears to be a link with Turkey/Turkish President having been mentioned/written in the so-called Manifesto of the, suitably monikered, 'Facebook Terrorist'. (Facebook: because he live-streamed his killing spree through his Facebook page, causing an outcry and lots of hand-wringing towards Social Media sites for not stopping him, or removing the video in time*)

*What many journos fail to understand is that the internet doesn't work like that! We'll discuss this some other time.

Another out-of-the-blue terror (apparently) attack took place today (3 days later) in the Dutch city of Utrecht, where a man boarded a tram and opened fire shooting passengers, killing three, The perpetrator having Turkish roots, is called Gokmen Tanis...

Meaning of Gokmen = In Turkey Gokmen is Blue Eyed, Fair Haired Man.

Meaning of Tanis = In Urdu = Affection, Love, in Spanish slang = to make famous, 
in Greek = Serpent

I have no idea what these names could signify, but when put together they seem odd and strangely coded in symbolism.

A little controversial from one entry into the flag competition making headlines in the region back in 2015

From online news media November 2015: Fed up with its flag being confused with Australia's, New Zealand unveiled four possible options for a revamped ensign - and none of them feature the Union Flag.

Three of the designs that made the shortlist, from more than 10 000 entries submitted by the public, feature the native silver fern, already the country's unofficial national emblem.

The fourth depicts a koru, or unfurling fern frond, a traditional Maori symbol of new life and beginnings.
The Prime Minister at the time, John Key, who instigated the NZ$26m (£10.75m) flag-changing exercise, is a fan of the silver fern, already used as a logo by the All Blacks rugby team and other national sporting outfits. However, many New Zealanders were underwhelmed by the final four designs, chosen by the excitingly named Flag Consideration Committee.

To counter the politician's reference to Nazi flags, this was posted online at the time

N.B. This post is named after a 2006 movie which took its premise from a massacre that occurred in a small seaside village in New Zealand. The horror of that event seemed like a long time ago until Friday's out-of-the-blue terrorist incident in Christchurch. Looking into the tranquil psyche of the nation, it's amazing to see how the population cope with the grotesque. It's apparent that wounds do eventually heal, forgiveness is possible, but scars remain.

Once upon a time...

I Fell and NeverLanded

Moonwalking around

Today I fell down the ‘synch-hole’ – I sank whole into a Synchronistic vortex. I was taking a break from having to deal with the daily cataloguing of confidential stories of child abuse, which permeate my current career path, and trying to forget that I made the mistake of watching that unethical documentary on Channel 4 about Michael Jackson and his latest batch of accusers.

I decided to take a break from editing to just read up on missed blog posts in the Synchromystic online community. I came across Kubrickology again, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Kubrickologist#English  and Loren Coleman’s musing on the subject over at Twilight Language Blog - http://copycateffect.blogspot.com   I admit I got bored because I’ve read it more than I should, so turned on the TV to be slap-bang in the middle of a documentary about, you guessed it, Kubrick, or rather his right-hand man Leon Vitali.

Vitali tells you his version

Wow, another one of those crazy coincidences. To split the day, I popped out of town for a few hours, and decided to travel by train. On boarding the carriage, I heard someone calling my name. I turn around to discover an old school friend, someone I haven’t seen in 35 years. 

The choice to travel by train today was a last-minute decision. All hail the fates, as I discover my old friend still lives in the area that I had returned to after 20 years, although I’d never bumped into her until today. 

By coincidence my friend began to describe how she use to work for the same organisation I now work for. Hold the front page! It gets weirder. She goes on to tell me what a terrible time she had at my work-place with the exact same people that I am working with, only she knew them years earlier. As it turns out, we have strangely moved along the same life-path… I ponder this coincidence. She (from my past) is talking to me about people from her past that are now my present. 

Synchronicity never ceases to amaze!

As a side-note to this synchronistic episode, Stanley Kubrick’s Civil War Trilogy ‘Downslope’ to be directed by Marc Forster, who also directed ‘Finding Neverland’.

...they put a Man on the Moon

Neil Armstrong on the Moon

With the release of his latest Oscar contender, director Damien Chazelle  of La La Land fame, gives us a visceral yet birds-eye view of the First Man (on the Moon), largely taken from Neil Armstrong's biography of the same name.

After seeing what I thought was supposed to be humanity's greatest achievement, brought to life on the big screen, I found myself questioning why it was such a depressingly sad and moody insight into the life of one of our great heroes.

What is the point of creating such an authentic piece of nostalgia for a mainstream audience, and strip away everything that was amazing about it? If you believe they put a man on the moon, you have to believe that the reason Armstrong was so miserable all the time, even shouting at reporters at press conferences, was because of the death of his two-year-old daughter seven years earlier.

From personal experience, losing someone you love and are close to is not something you just 'get over'. You learn to live with their death. So Armstrong does exactly this, he copes with the deaths of his colleagues, and even pays homage to his child while walking on the moon. All of the 'death' evident in First Man overshadows any great joy or excitement that reaching the moon would have, or so the film reveals to us. In this respect, the achievement of reaching the Moon is treated as meaningless.

Perhaps there is more than meets the eye here, as synchronicity strikes the man on the moon...

Jim Carrey staring at the Moon in the TheTruman Show (1998)

Carrey was born in the Toronto suburb of Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, to Kathleen (née Oram), a homemaker, and Percy Carrey, a musician and accountant. He was raised a Roman Catholic and has three older siblings: John, Patricia, and Rita. His mother was of French, Irish, and Scottish descent and his father was of French-Canadian ancestry (the family's original surname was Carré).

At age 10, Carrey wrote a letter to Carol Burnett of the Carol Burnett Show pointing out that he was already a master of impressions and should be considered for a role on the show; he was overjoyed when he received a form letter reply. Carrey lived in Burlington, Ontario, for eight years.

Ryan Gosling (as Neil Armstrong) with Jimmy Kimmel all one big joke!

Ryan Thomas Gosling was born in London, Ontario, the son of Thomas Ray Gosling, a travelling salesman for a paper mill, and Donna, a secretary. Both of his parents are of part French-Canadian descent, along with some English, Scottish, and Irish decent. Because of his father's work, the family "moved around a lot" and Gosling lived in both Cornwall, Ontario, and Burlington, Ontario. His parents divorced when he was 13, and he and his older sister Mandi lived with their mother.

Gosling was educated at Gladstone Public School, Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School and Lester B. Pearson High School. As a child, he watched Dick Tracy and was inspired to become an actor…. Gosling performed in front of audiences from an early age, encouraged by his sister being a performer. He and his sister sang together at weddings; he performed with Elvis Perry, his uncle's Elvis Presley tribute act.

From a recent article in The Metro -  "Of his current situation, Carrey told the website: ‘I have gone through some really tough times in the last few years and I would not wish them on anybody, but my God, my understanding of life and what is real and what is not real has expanded exponentially because of that. ‘And my ability to understand suffering, which is a valuable thing. It’s the way to salvation because once you understand it, you have compassion, and the next thing you know, you are free."

Carrey pulling the Moon down to Earth in Bruce Almighty (2003)

The Daily Telegraph reported that Gosling said the moon landing “transcended countries and borders” and was “widely regarded in the end as a human achievement [and] that’s how we chose to view it”.

He also said he did not think Armstrong “viewed himself as an American hero” and added: “From my interviews with his family and people that knew him, it was quite the opposite. And we wanted the film to reflect Neil. I’m Canadian,” Gosling added, “so [I] might have cognitive bias.”

Carrey as Andy Kaufman (Man on the Moon)
or is it Endless Sunshine in John Malkovich's mind?

Carrey loves Emma Stone apparently!

The Baby Blues

Old news...

This is not the first time we hear that the Duchess of Suspect is pregnant... or not...

The above (2014) photo could allegedly be the  result of some other gossip circulating on the Net about the Duchess already having a baby,  or having to abort a baby by second husband Trevor Engelson. It was used by the media in a story 8 months before the marriage to Prince Harry.

...By Shari Weiss of Gossipcop.com - October 25th 2017- Meghan Markle is not pregnant with Prince Harry’s baby, despite a new tabloid cover story. Contrary to the report, the couple is not expecting a child at this time. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust the allegation, which was seemingly manufactured. “Meghan is not pregnant,” her spokesperson tell us.

The new cover of OK! is falsely announcing, “Harry & Meghan: New Royal Baby!” The front of the issue even touts “First Bump Photos,” but Markle most certainly does not have a growing baby belly. In fact, the publication is trying to deceive readers by using a photo of Markle that was taken in 2014. Still, the tabloid contends in its article that though the couple “seem primed to make an official engagement announcement any day,” there’s “more than a wedding in their future,” because “palace sources are buzzing that the pair may be expecting their first child.”

A so-called “insider” is quoted as saying, “There are whispers that Meghan is as far as three months along! It’s unexpected, to say the least. To have a baby out of wedlock would risk creating quite a scandal for the royal family. But Harry and Meghan are eager to build a family together, and the sooner the better.” And with Markle allegedly recently meeting with Queen Elizabeth, the gossip magazine’s source claims, “The whole palace was buzzing that they had told the queen of Meghan’s state. Supposedly, she didn’t mince words and told them it was ‘a most unfortunate situation.'”

From the book 'Abuse of Men by Women', by Ann Silvers M.A.  There are 8 Red Flags to trapping a man into marriage using a real (or fake pregnancy)...

"Trap Red Flag No. 3. She has something to gain from being your baby momma.

If she will benefit in some way from the pregnancy—the pregnancy might be a trap.

A woman who has decided on her own that having your baby has some payoff for her and that that payoff trumps your desire to not have children right now is ripe for becoming your baby momma whether you’re up for it or not.

There are many potential pregnancy benefits that might motivate a woman to get pregnant accidentally-on-purpose. She may want to:

Red Flag No.3 - Seal the deal on your relationship to get you to support her directly or through child support qualify for benefits, or secure immigration status."

Of course, the British Public, as the British Media would have it, love a bit of Royal Baby News. So today's announcement of a pregnancy is greeted with top headlines and quotes from the Prime Minister.

Now the speculation will begin surrounding the golden child to be born, seventh in line to the throne.

Here's a fun article to raise an eyebrow or two...

Extraordinary Rendering... 100% organic

While you and I have been diligently putting our daily waste items into the coloured recycle bins (of course) provided by our local government. We've been shamed into not using them at our peril, the powers-that-be have been stockpiling clinical waste for strange reasons. Nefarious reasons might be going a little too far, but reasons given seem highly suspect none-the-less.

In my very brief, but rather shocking experience, of time spent working at a clinical waste rendering company, (see my blog post) I can assure you that there are no fridge-freezers running for months holding body parts awaiting disposal!

Is this latest incident a money-saving operation, or something more sinister?

My latest source of news again today is The Guardian.online...

Shadow health secretary says public should have been told earlier that NHS waste firm was amassing human remains.

The shadow health secretary, Jonathan Ashworth, has said “serious questions remain” about how hundreds of tonnes of hospital waste, including human body parts, were allowed to accumulate by the disposal firm Healthcare Environment Services (HES), which has now been stripped of its NHS contracts.

The health minister, Stephen Barclay, announced on Tuesday that HES’s contracts had been terminated on Sunday, after it allowed a backlog of waste to pile up at its facilities.
In a written statement to parliament, Barclay said the watchdog NHS Improvement (NHSI) concluded that HES “had failed to demonstrate that they were operating within their contractual limits. Consequently, 15 NHS trusts served termination notices to HES formally to terminate their contracts at 4pm on Sunday,” he said.

He said the government had first been informed about the problem by the Environment Agency watchdog, on 31 July.

Ashworth, who will question the minister in the Commons on Wednesday, said the government should have informed the public and MPs earlier about the “horrific scandal”.

“Serious questions remain,” he said. “Why was this backlog allowed to build up, why didn’t the NHS intervene earlier – and we still don’t have any credible reassurances that contracts with private operators will be monitored thoroughly in future so something like this never happens again.”

“We are ensuring that there are contingency plans in place in case of any disruption, and that there is absolutely no risk to the health of patients or the wider public,” he added.

“In this instance, the primary concern was that too much waste was being held in a number of waste storage and treatment sites by a contractor, Healthcare Environment Services. While the waste was stored securely, it was not being processed and disposed of within the correct regulatory timescales. At no point has there been an impact on public health or any delay to the ability of the NHS to carry out operations.”

He said after the Environment Agency ordered the partial closure of HES’s Normanton site in West Yorkshire, NHSI issued a letter to HES and gave the firm 48 hours to provide evidence that it was operating within legal and contractual parameters and set out a number of threshold levels.

With the company unable to demonstrate it was complying with the terms of its contracts, these were simultaneously terminated at 4pm on Sunday.

HES sparked a national incident by allowing large quantities of hazardous and non-hazardous waste from hospitals to build up at three of its five disposal sites across England – in Yorkshire, Newcastle and Nottingham. That included infectious waste, dangerous medicines used in cancer treatment, needles and “anatomical waste”, which includes body parts.

Could be anything inside but it's not dangerous!

The Environment Agency said HES had breached its permits at five sites in England. “We are taking enforcement action against the operator, which includes clearance of the excess waste, and have launched a criminal investigation,” it said.

HES managing director, Garry Pettigrew, said: “There is a proven lack of incineration capacity within the UK, which is affecting all operators ... The irony is that today’s decision means that other operators will be given relaxed dispensations to dispose of hazardous waste and that hospitals will also be forced to store waste on site, potentially risking public health.

“If we’d been granted dispensation, as we requested, this incident would never have arisen.”

The company said body parts constituted less than 1% of the overall waste collected and was disposed of as a priority, with the majority of waste being plastic. “We have a great team of people and we are dismayed that their livelihoods are being put at risk by today’s decision,” Pettigrew added.
