......The existence of this so-called "magic circle" of the Portuguese establishment, allegedly involved in an international paedophile ring using boys and girls from Casa Pia, was last week likened to an earthquake waiting to shake Portugal to its foundations.
New allegations about the scale of the network will be put before the country's highest court within the next few weeks.
Amid rumours of links to other paedophile gangs across Europe and the U.S., international experts on child sex crimes and murders are expected to be in court when the case re-opens, four years after a group of victims broke a silence lasting more than 30 years.
But what relevance does this have to the disappearance 170 days ago of four-year-old Madeleine McCann in Praia da Luz, about 280km from Lisbon?
And what does it mean for Kate and Gerry McCann, who have not only had to cope with losing their child, but have also been subjects of a vicious campaign in the Portuguese press to smear them?
It is crucial for two reasons; first because it proves what international crime agencies have long suspected: that Portugal has become a magnet for predatory paedophiles from around the world, using the country's lax laws and preying on the high numbers of poor, abandoned children.....

Portugal was a major player in the buying and selling of human beings from Africa.
I’ve never heard of the Franklin Coverup. Care to fill us in?
I take that back; I HAVE seen the Franklin Coverup video. I just had forgotten about it.

There’s probably no connection with the Madeleine McCann case, but Portugal is a strange place and I can readily believe the things about the Casa Pia. Neighboring Spain has had problems, mostly because Eurotrash, particularly Germans and Russians, infest its Mediterranean coast and engage in their usual pasttimes, drug use and sexual perversion, with great abandon. But it has always seemed to me, from things that I have read while in Europe, that Portugal has much more official corruption and a domestic taste for perversion and brutality.
Is that THE Larry King who’s name pops up in discussion about the Franklin Cover-up?
When I opined this I was smacked down for having no evidence and compared to a flying saucer theorist. Thread here:

Correction, when I opined similar. The quote is from the article referenced in the opening post.

It’s not. Unless LK got a seriously bad tan.
Nope - not the same Larry King - this one is a banker.
Just Googled the whole affair and am intrigued — mostly by the fact that King had a default judgement against him for $1 million in damages on the basis of not showing up for court. The allegations?
“kidnapping, mind control, satanic ritual abuse, and sexual abuse, and alleged various personal injuries, both physical and psychological.”
Seems like pretty heavy stuff to just ignore completely, especially when its part of legal action against you.

Look for it on Wikepedia. You might find it interesting.
