Brian Ladd raising money to go to Portugal?

[tolman]

This is a terrible think to say - but what is the betting his father is really ill, and he isn't just using it as an excuse to get a few days off from posting on his site?

If his father is ill, and as well as being naturally upset about that, Brian's also upset by people across the world doubting him, he's only got himself to blame, since he's acted in such a way that it makes it hard to distinguish him from a simple charlatan.

Thought you'd been a bit quiet recently. Is this Bible Belt where atheists are regarded as worse than child-abusers and rapists?

Surely not - they are Christians, after all.

No, the last poll suggested that was the whole of America , the Bible belt is where they're really fundamental!

So that's another area off my list of holiday destinations.

Actually, to be honest, it never was on the list.

Closer to home, think Ian Paisley territory...

Earlier his passport application was apparantly being rushed through. Now it seems, we have another 4-6 weeks delay.

Hi Brian,
You've may have already seen the above article, sent it to you anyway. How long does it take to get a passport in the US? I hope you go soon Kate McCann is dying before our very eyes. She is is so skeletal now that people are fearing for her life. Take care and all the best for you.

Hi Lisa, and thanks for this, I hope they are able to check out Robert Murats home in Praia da Luz and another other property he may own or has control of.
4-6 weeks, and this is using the USPS's expedited service which includes overnight mail to and from Washington DC.
Without paying for the fast track service, up to 12 weeks. The only way faster would be if I made an appointment in DC and then drove there myself.
Brian

Despite the US Department of State saying that it normally takes 2-3 weeks

http://travel.state.gov/passport/get...first_831.html


He isn't being specific as to whether he is getting the expediated service or not.

After you apply - You will receive your passport: Normally, it takes 2-3 weeks to receive your passport from the date you applied. If you haven’t received your passport and are traveling within the next 7 days, please contact the National Passport Information Center.

The routine service is currently taking 10-12 weeks, however he only needs to splash out $60 for the expediated service.

But he was claiming on 9th September that the

2) US Passport procedure is underway, and will be rushed.

So if he had started applying back then, he should be receiving his passport early to mid October at the latest.

He must be so hoping this all comes to a close, before he runs out of excuses.

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

And on 22nd September, he posted this reply:

Hi Brian, I wanted to thank you for your drawling over the weekend stating Maddy is ok.I know you wont be able to tell us all when you will be going to find her.I do pray it is soon.I think something could happen if you dont reach the area in time but i understand you cant just get on a plane and go without a plan in put forth.I do think you know where she is as i have stated before.Please,Brian believe in yourself and your dreams and bring her home.We believe in you.TO ALL BRIANS READERS PLEASE,SAY A PRAY FOR HIM AND MADDIE AND GOD SPEED on your return.Thank you for your time your unpaid time at that for all you do for missing people.God Bless you and your family.

Thank you,.

Hi Vivian, all that I'm waiting on is my passport...when it comes in, I'm there...and will try and stay as safe as possible.
Brian

So, can we deduce that he is going as soon as his passport arrives - but he possibly hasn't applied yet?

Plus, he has already said he can't leave until after 20th October - as that is when the funds are released from his online payment solutions provider.

you know what really puzzles me is that brian is a remote viewer thats his speciality that said if he remote views then why the hell does he even need to go to portugal.

he's never felt the need to go to this extent before and claims to have many sucess's to his name, the reason he is dioing this for this case is simple he knows that there are many people out there willing to hand over their cash whereas in other case the following has not been this strong

[tolman]

The same reason he sells lottery predictions - to make money, with the same underlying non-logic. If he could remote view, he wouldn't need to travel, so he wouldn't need to ask for money, and if he could actually predict lottery numbers, he certainly wouldn't need to ask anyone for money for anything (electricity, server space, travel, etc) since he'd be rich.

he's never felt the need to go to this extent before and claims to have many sucess's to his name, the reason he is dioing this for this case is simple he knows that there are many people out there willing to hand over their cash whereas in other case the following has not been this strong.

Possibly it's also the case that this particular investigation has stayed high profile. Once he'd stuck his oar in, it wouldn't be easy to abandon it completely and it hasn't yet faded into obscurity. Many people may well be giving him extra hassle asking what he's been doing on this case, and going to Portugal (or pretending to) is a useful way to seem involved, as well as make some profit.

I find his success rate quoted on his site as strange, I'm not aware of him successfully finding any missing persons. None at all.

a little update on whats going on i havent heard back from the STATES regarding my initial conference call so just to make sure something is happening i have just been on the phone with someone in the Leicestershire police side of the enquiry and i have to say they seem alot morereceptive and have logged it as an official crime file to be attatched to the main madeleiene mccann investigation case file.

they also said that they would also pass the details onto the mccanns themselves and give them the option of making an official commplaint against our mr ladd should they choose to.

the bad news however is that what brian is doing may not actually be illegal as people are free to give or not so this has produced a worrying grey area but the officer i spoke to does genuinely share my concerns and has promised that it will be given attention

[tolman]

I presume it'd be illegal if he didn't go and just kept the money, but for that maybe he'd have to have claimed to have gone and have it proved that he didn't.
If someone challenged him early, he could always say he was about to go, or come up with some other excuse and offer to return the donations or pass them on to charity.

Ok, there is a gray area on this... but isn't it illegal for him to be conducting an investigation in Portugal? Maybe the Portuguese authority need to be given a heads up (and with his real name... it's not Ladd, from my understanding). He has already scoffed at people warning him that he may get arrested... he bets he won't (get arrested). He is weaving his words so as to look like that he has inside information... he is openly going after Robert Murat, implying he is going to investigate him and his mother's house so he can find some kind of chamber where Madeleine is hidden.

Maybe this case will finally be the downfall of his stint as a what-ever-kind-of-charlatan he has tailored himself to be. It is both sad and frustrating that people really believe in this man and all that he says. He's got his own little flock of sheeple that refuse to take their blinders off and see the man for what he is: a fraud.

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

Not an awful lot of news on this at the moment. I did lose a few more brain cells listening to his radio show again. According to that he has now applied for his passport using expediated service. So we will see....

In the meantime, he is still getting emails from complete fruitloops.

Hi Brian, Case 347 and 526

This was a very vivid dream I had this morning and woke up at 3.30am:
They are planning to butcher her
Too many high profile people are involved
A woman is going to butcher her with one other person.. a man I believe...the other people involved know about this...
Jenny Murat is a very cruel woman
(I told a number of people before this came on the news about Jenny Murat, and when I saw her picture I told everyone that it was her I saw in my vision..at the time I got nothing about Robert Murat...’I’m just being honest about this’!!)
Cannot remember the name of the butcherer
MADELEINE HAS GOT TO BE FOUND NOW
SHE IS DEFINITELY STILL LIVE
Robert Murat’s basement
Lots of others are in the tunnels
I Woke up in a sweat and shaking
If search goes on very soon, she will be found alive.
DO NOT TRUST THE POLICE
DO NOT TRUST THE JUDGE
Robert Murat is now SCARED
Other children are down by the boats???
There was 272 and a iron ring handle ...it opened into a tunnel....there is also a false brick wall...red bricks...but not very strong....knock this down ....many are still alive behind this...
(in the vision there was a cooker ...pull the cooker away and hit the wall...it will cave in...there is another entrance to this...don’t know where though...not sure if the cooker is supposed to symbolize something ?)
In the dream I faced a man who knew I was snooping about and getting very close, and he pulled a knife on me...we had a fight with the knife and I won. He was heavily bleeding.
THIS IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION OUT THERE.
They obviously do not want to get caught.
I knocked down the red brick wall and called out into the darkness, she fell into my arms...she is safe.
The search should start from the beach.
-----------------------------------
I am trying to raise some money to go to Portugal, but I am absolutely broke. I will try my best to go though and get a few others interested in going with me. I will try and get a bank loan to go... I do not want to go alone.
I will need torches if I go. I remember using torches
Something has changed in this whole case.....She must be found now!!!!!
Whoever goes over must use a computer in order to get emails out immediately any new information gets stumbled upon even if the email is only to relatives..this is your proof.
As soon as she is found, take pictures of madelline and post email immediately to a trusted source.
Then the world will know!!
I would lay down my life for this little girl, and if I go I probably will...(not sure what that’s supposed to mean!!! ) It would not put me off from going!
*As regards to Rosemary Edwards, even though the police suspect no foul play. I do believe she was murdered. I have had a very strong feeling about this. There is just something not quite right about the whole affair. Find out the original location of where she went to and DNA evidence will come to light. Its more than a feeling. I just know she was murdered.
Not sure if you should post this for I do not want to prolong the anguish of the whole family.
There is something satanic about the case. There is a lot of satanic activity in the area.
Keep up the good work Brian,
Regards Paul

Thanks Paul, will post your dream.

Hi Brian,

I am reading your site for some weeks now, and since found it, I am really impressed of the work you’ve done, despite having a big family and not being remunerated for it.
I didn’t want to bother, just want to tell you that I have the phone number of a psychic woman in Romania who has already solved out many cases. Her name is Ildiko Balmus, and I know she has been even invited to work for CIA, but finally did not accepted. She is a very simple woman with 5 children and lives in Romania. She went to Portugal around the 6th of June in order to look for Madeleine. To trace the way Madeleine has done, she needed to go to the place where she was abducted from, or to touch Madeleine’s favourite toy. She travelled back few days later and I was very surprised she did not came up with any result. Then called her and talked to her directly. She was quit reticent in talking to me when heard the subject of my call, but anyway she told me that the police knows who the abductor was, and that between the people involved, there is a Russian too. I know that always when she has an opinion on something that happened in a crime, she speaks out-laud, but this time she was very quiet. I didn’t understand firstly why wasn’t she speaking more about this case. But after reading your site, I think this might be because she is afraid. Maybe she realised what is going on there, she felt very vulnerable, and that’s why she didn’t want to go forward with this. But I am sure she is willing to go on and tell the truth as she is very sincere and straight.
I was thinking that if maybe you want her to help or to give her opinion to you, I think she would be very happy to do so. I would propose her to pay the flight to Portugal as she has no possibilities to pay it by herself.
Today I red a news saying that she has found something in Romania in a case of a lawyer who disappeared recently, and after the police failed to find her, she succeed to go on with the research. And she wants to go on till she will find the all truth. She can trace the exact way the abductor does. She is really amazing, and I really think she can assist you in finding Madeleine. If she is not alone, I think she is not that afraid of the authorities. In case you want to contact her, I have her phone number. I am not sure she speaks English, but I can help you with the translation.
In case you think this might help, please let me know, and I will be very happy to do something.

Best wishes to your entire family and many thanks because they are so comprehensive and let you spend so much time for others.

Jenny

Thanks Jenny, and I will contact her and keep her personal information private.
