4.7: Robert the Translator

At the beginning of ‘The Da Vinci Code’ we are introduced to Robert Langdon.  He is called upon to assist the police translate a message.  He is also the first person to be suspected of the crime.

At the beginning of the Madeleine McCann story we are introduced to Robert Murat.  He is called upon to assist the police as a translator.  He is also the first person to be suspected of the crime.

4.8: Numbers

The creator of this allusion likes to use numbers to confirm this is not coincidence.  We have seen this practice already with Fatima’s witness statement and the writer performs the same trick with ‘The Da Vinci Code.’

Birth

Leonardo Da Vinci was born in 1452.

There are 1452 days between Madeleine’s date of birth and her reported disappearance.

You can check that information for yourself if you like – Madeleine’s date of birth is given as 12th May 2003 and she disappeared on the 3rdMay 2007.

Death

Leonardo Da Vinci died in 1519.

The DNA results 15/19 convinced many people that Madeleine McCann died.

“…citing 15/19 matches of Madeleine DNA profile.”  source

“In the sample collected in the boot area of the vehicle, 15 of the identified DNA components coincide with the corresponding components in the DNA profile of Madeleine McCann, this of [having] 19 components.”  source

“Of these 19 components 15 are present within the result from this item.”  source

  4.9: Transworld Publishers Inc.

Kate and Gerry McCann signed a deal to write a book about the disappearance of their daughter.

“Transworld, home to best-selling authors including Dan Brown and Frederick Forsyth, secured the rights to the couple’s story after a bidding war.  The McCann’s are part-way through writing their account”  source

Transworld Publishers secured the rights to Kate’s book ‘Madeleine’ and also published Dan Brown’s ‘The Da Vinci Code.’  What a coincidence!  And Dan Brown even gets a name-check in the article.

4.10: Conclusion

‘The Da Vinci Code’ fulfils the criteria of the allusion being aligned with contemporary literature.  The interplay between the two texts is undeniable.  The author of the Madeleine McCann story has woven theme and content using a wide range of allusions.

If you’re familiar with both stories then you will know there is much more I could add, but for the purpose of this article I am going to leave it there and move on to the final chapter.

5: The Story of David

Throughout the Madeleine McCann story we are bombarded with controversial stories about David Payne – his visit to the McCann apartment, his encounter with child protection worker Yvonne Martin, his ‘disturbing’ descriptions of Madeleine and his starring role in The Gaspar Statements.

As we have seen, the writer often creates controversial moments to alert the audience to the presence of an allusion.  The fact that David is often at the centre of this controversy tells us that the character of David is an allusion.

We have all heard the story of David and Goliath, but what else do we know about the biblical David?

Info’ HERE

The concept of the Messiah is important in Christianity and the character of David is a key component.

The writers of the New Testament (the Christian bible) trace the genealogy of both Joseph and Mary to the House of David.  They do this to show they are both descended from The Davidic Line to support the claim that Jesus is the true messiah.

That is how important David is to the messianic tradition.

Basically, when it comes to messianic bloodlines, all roads lead to David.

Furthermore:-

  5.1: The Gaspar Statements

The central character of The Gaspar Statements is David Payne and the two key moments of these statements are:

1: Concern when David is overseeing the children bathing.

2: David’s inappropriate sexual act.

Both of these controversial stories combine to create an allusion to a very important messianic story.

David and Bathsheba

If we read Samuel 2:11 we are told that David watched the young Bathsheba as she bathed.  David watched her bathe and he lusted after her.  David was unable to control his lust and acted on it, causing the young Bathsheba to become pregnant.  This was highly inappropriate as Bathsheba was married to Uriah the Hittite.  In an effort to conceal his actions, David urged Uriah to re-consummate his marriage so he would think the child was his, but Uriah would not.  David then sent him to the front lines of battle where Uriah met his death.

1: David watched the young girl bathe.

2: David performed a sexually inappropriate act.

How can we be certain that The Gaspar Statements are an allusion to this story?  Does the text support this interpretation in any other way?

[mike tesko]

More still:-

5.2: Peter’s Bible

If you recall, the Portuguese police photocopied a page from the bible found in the McCann residence.  This was the bible given to Kate by Peter Neil Patterson.  source

The photocopied page is Samuel 2.12 – a direct continuation of Samuel 2.11 – the story of David and Bathsheba.

What are the chances of that?

The Gaspar Statements appear to be an allusion to Samuel 2.11 and the Portuguese police just so happened to photocopy Samuel 2.12.  The combination of which complete the story of David and Bathsheba.

The Lord punished David for his sins and Bathsheba’s child fell ill and died.  After the death of the child David lay with Bathsheba once more and again she became pregnant, but this time the child survived and was named Solomon.

This is why the writers of the Madeleine McCann story place David as one of the central characters in their story.  They are alluding to the messianic theme and David is where it all began.  This new understanding of the text confirms two previous allusions:

1:  The name Arul Savio Gaspar is an allusion to the messianic theme.  Gaspar is a signifier to alert the audience that The Gaspar Statements are an allusion.  One identified as alluding to the story of David and Bathsheba as told in Samuel 2.11.

2: When Kate asked Peter to pray by the Marina it was an allusion to the biblical Peter being a fisherman.  The writer did this to alert the reader to the importance of Peter’s statement and the marked pages Samuel 2.12.

The three most important characters in the messianic tradition are Jesus / Magdalene, the Immaculate Mary and King David.  This explains why the writer of the Madeleine McCann story continuously alludes to these three characters via their intertextual counter-parts – Madeleine, Kate ‘Marie’ and David.

Overall Conclusion

The story of Madeleine McCann is not based on reality.  It is a story that has been shaped using other texts.  This kind of work can only be explained by the presence of a highly creative author, one with the freedom to choose locations, create names and invent situations that perfectly match his creative intentions.

This kind of event must have been pre-planned and meticulously engineered.  In other words, the story of Madeleine McCann has been a performance, a work of fiction that was presented to the public under the guise of a real news story.

One can only conclude, due to the perfect alignment between texts, that no child was harmed during this production.  Why would there be?  It makes no sense whatsoever to actually harm a child as it would immeasurably complicate the execution of the story.  It would make the compliance and performance of every individual involved virtually impossible.

Also, the sheer volume of invented material forces us to conclude that invention itself was central to the project – to be admired by a small knowing audience and unseen by everyone else – exactly the same as the Historia Augusta:

“Major problems include the nature of the sources it used, and how much of the content is pure fiction.”

For 1500 years the Augustan History was thought to be a factual historical document.  This view began to change in the late 19th century and was completely changed by renowned 20th century Roman historian Sir Ronald Syme who famously dubbed the unknown author “a rogue grammarian”.

The author of the Augustan History remains unknown (same as the Madeleine McCann story) and the discovery of its numerous literary inventions is now considered to have been the primary purpose for the work itself.

I realise this interpretation of the Madeleine McCann story will generate many more questions and many of these questions will hopefully be answered in future articles.   For example, the next article in this planned series will focus on the fascinating character of Goncalo Amaral under the general theme of police organisations.

I hope you have found this study of the Madeleine McCann story to be interesting and informative.  Perhaps some informed readers will take this interpretation of the story and begin to look at the narrative in a different light and maybe discover things that I have not.

Thanks for reading.

Disturbing development!

When photographs were taken of the scene only four passports were taken..

Gerry McCann
Kate McCann
Child 2
Child 3..

Why was Madeleine McCann's passport absent on the evening / night of 3rd May 2007?

[mike tesko]

I am acting in the capacity of angelic intervention..

If I have to expand, so be it..

OK - let's get to the fundamental truth...

Here is the starting point...

Madeleine McCanns birth certificate - who was declared as the father?

OK - let's get to the fundamental truth...

Here is the starting point...

Madeleine McCanns birth certificate - who was declared as the father?

Until we see the actual birth certificate nobody should believe in the McCann / tapas group narratives...

Is it possible that Gerry McCann was not Madeleine McCanns natural / paternal father?

[mike tesko]

Was it arranged, for Madeleine to be returned to to her paternal father during the Portugal (Luz) trip?

[mike tesko]

The 'dna' attributed as belonging, or originating from Madeleine McCann, - may not have been conducive to Gerry McCann being the Male donater in the conception?
