The mainstream media for the most part has moved on. But there are a few more gleanings to be had, of perhaps the most interesting comes from the Daily Mirror, which labels al-Hilli an extremist on the grounds that he was against the war in Iraq, disapproved of the behaviour of Israel and had doubts over 9/11 – which makes a great deal of the population “extremist”. But the Mirror has the only mainstream mention I can find of the possibility that Mossad carried out the killings. Given Mr al-Hilli’s profession, the fact he is a Shia, the fact he had visited Iran, and the fact that Israel heas been assassinating scientists connected to Iran’s nuclear programme, this has to be a possibility. There are of course other possibilities, but to ignore that one is ludicrous.
Which leads me to the argument of Daily Mail crime reporter, Stephen Wright, that the French police should concentrate on the idea that this was a killing by a random Alpine madman or racist bigot. Perfectly possible, of course, and the anti-Muslim killings in Marseille might be as much a precedent as Mossad killings of scientists. But why the lone madman idea should be the preferred investigation, Mr Wright does not explain. What I did find interesting from a man who has visited many crime scenes are his repeated insinuations that the French authorities are not really trying very hard to find who the killers were, for example:
the crime scene would have been sealed off for a minimum of seven to ten days, to allow detailed forensic searches for DNA, fibres, tyre marks and shoe prints to take place.
Nearby bushes and vegetation would have been searched for any discarded food and cigarette butts left by the killer, not to mention the murder weapon.
But from what I saw at the end of last week, no such searches had taken place and potentially vital evidence could have been missed. House to house inquiries in the local area had yet to be completed and police had not made specific public appeals for information about the crime. No reward had been put up for information about the shootings.
Behind the scenes, what other short cuts have been taken? Have police seized data identifying all mobile phones being used in the vicinity of the murders that day?
The idea that the French authorities – who are quite as capable as any other of solving cases – are not really trying very hard is an interesting one.
Which leads me to this part of a remarkable article from the Daily Telegraph, which if true points us back towards a hit squad and discounts the ides that there was only one gun:
Claims that only one gun was used to kill everybody is likely to be disproved by full ballistics test results which are out in October.
While the 25 spent bullet cartridges found at the scene are all of the same kind, they could in fact have come from a number of weapons of the same make.
This throws up the possibility of a well-equipped, highly-trained gang circling the car and then opening fire.
Both children were left alive by the killers, who had clinically pumped bullets into everybody else, including five into Mr Mollier.
Zainab was found staggering around outside the car by Brett Martin, a British former RAF serviceman who cycled by moments after the attack, but he saw nobody except the schoolgirl.
Her sister, Zeena, was found unscathed and hiding in the car eight hours later.
Both sisters are now back in Britain, and are believed to have been reunited at a secret location near London.
There are of course a number of hit squad options, both governmental and private, which might well involve iraqi or Iranian interests – on both of which the mainstream media have been very happy to speculate while almost unanimously ignoring Israel.
But what interests me is why the Daily Telegraph choose, in the face of all the evidence, to minimise the horrific nature of the attack by stating that “Both children were left alive by the killers”? Zainab was not left alive by design, she was shot in the chest and her skull was stove in, which presumably was a pretty serious attempt to kill a seven year-old child. The other girl might very well have succeeded in hiding from the killers under her mother’s skirts, as she hid from the first rescuers, and then for eight hours from the police.
The Telegraph article claims to be informed by sources close to the investigation. So they believe it was a group of people, and feel motivated to absolve those people from child-killing. Now what could the Daily Telegraph be thinking?
Q
Interesting regarding the Sapaudiens. This is a cyclist club and ski club and there is no doubt that Thierry and Claire Schutz are members of this club. There are hundreds of links and videos regarding the club when you search Sapaudian on google.
Sapaudian means Savoye and is the Celtic name for Savoye given by the Burgunds that name was based on the NIBELUNGEN saga.
Here are some of the hundreds links and i wouldnt be surprised when we find Mollier in the pictures and videos. Now it is getting logic why Thierry Schutz was suggesting a new route. He is a cyclist.

See link above.
I am still off on my Twilight Zone quest scrambling and raking among oddities of all kinds. here are the two that bug me now:
1. Happenstance? That BM 411 PD plate: that is indeed as others commented (Tim V, Pink, Straw, more) downright spooky. I looked at the date the photo of the hearse was shown and it was the day after – September 6. Phillip D shows up with the accounts a few days later (5 days? anyone has the date?) and it really looks like he is “inserted” into the story to “fix” a few odds and ends in BM story – except that he introduces more contradictions and question marks. Tim V mentioned that there is a PD (a “Patrick”) in the prosecutor’s office. And Straw pointed out the article that said Phillip D “was not his real name”. Later we get Didierjean as last name – AFTER speculation started going around about the Phillip Desmaze… (sp?) the photographer, as if a correction was needed to hone down the tale.
My theory was – proposed earlier – that someone in the french “cover-up team” noticed the hearse license plate as it went by (or saw a photo), took note of the initial BM and the “411′ that could help move the time to a bit later, and being a bit desperate and knowing the Patrick D deputy prosecutor, had the brilliant idea of coming up with a Phillip D, later morphing into Phillip Didierjean – the hiker in the woods at dusk – with 2 ladies at his side (no names, details or anything ever given). There may very well have been a car coming up with a “PD” + companions but chances are whatever it was they were there as part of the “mopping up” team, or the “observation/back-up” teams the rest of the story being a re-enactment – a theater for the public. yes, a BM could have come down frantically waving that something has gone wrong – and both may have gone up to check on what’s happened, but the rest is all theater, which unluckily for our actors, became a theatre of the absurd because they had no “Plan B” for a cover-up, indicating poor coordination between franks and brits.
What’s the problem? BM did not play along and refused to confirm making a call at 3:48PM, sticking to the “no reception” line. So the 4:11 Pm new timeline for the “second call” did not help, given how fast the emergency vehicles showed up. BM being “recalcitrant” probably out of annoyance by both him and his agency at the way the entire event unfolded – perhaps with so many unintended dead and children caught in the maelstrom***. Ever since then the French have been scrambling, coming up with various versions of the timeline, the photos at Droussard, and what not. All making them look like bumbling fools with the Brits on the sidelines no doubt muttering “serve you right. That should teach you to leak things to [mysterious agency #3].
Tim V has often pointed out that the one piece of “hard” data that everything revolves around is that “3:48PM” call and just who made it? none of the offered scenarios ever get around that pesky little problem. Even as they move the timeline forward and backward and around in circles (cf. SM overtakes BM at the bottom of the climb, SM never overtakes anyone, remaining ahead at all time, giving some excuse for BM not having heard shots – probably just another “not playing ball” ploy on his part, deliberately messing up the french. Kind of like “let them fall over themselves explaining that!”).
2. The “Doubles” that keep popping up – as Oliphant brought up and BB summarized so well above. That just adds to the “theatre” of it all. Or it’s kind of a clue to keep searching for the unintended and unexpected direction.
Other oddities abound – the car rack, SAH’s unknown employment and whereabouts during certain times, the unbelievable paucity of information about Moliier’s, Zeena-in-hiding for 8 hours, Zainab’s injuries changing all over the place, just to mention a few. But these two make a nice start I think – and a fruitful one.
Hollywood was mentioned by BM and “PD” and others. many mentioned it here. But what was not explored enough IMHO is what kind of theatre and what was the script and has it actually been followed or busted, resulting in awkward edits and re-edits?
Two movies I’d like to suggest for those inclined to explore the themes-in-a-twlight zone; “La Double Vie de Veronique” – marvelous music BTW – and “Blow Up” the movie I mentioned before. If people didn’t see it I really recommend – it’s a bit dated now but captures the ambiance of what we are dealing with here -if not the details – the ‘was it murder or something else’, the weirdness of the “who done it”., the indications of a “cover up” for some unknown purpose, the strange worlds that can be revealed by photography, and of course, the ‘alternate reality” look and feel of the entire incident and aftermath.
___
***Note: the speculation above assumes there was indeed a massacre committed. However, that does not mean that we should give up on the ‘extraction” scenario (part or whole), no matter how improbable it may seem on the face of it. In fact, many of the oddities fall into place – or at least kind of make sense, if an extraction happened – or at least was planned/anticipated and gone wrong. Really the only argument against the extraction is the complexity of it all and the need to keep the many in the know silent.
But I just thought of another thing: my own argument against this possibility is that if we could think of it then so would those from whom SAH and/or SM needed to be hidden – permanently, which does undermine the purpose of such a complicated plot. But then, seeing all the cogent arguments here advanced against this possibility, it’s that very cogentness that makes me think – well, the ‘why so complicated’ is really a powerful means to suggest “it surely can’t have been that!”. So maybe, just maybe, that was the idea? hide behind a veil of complexity, seemingly unnecessary? Just a thought….
PS people’s feed-back is really appreciated. Being confounded is really tortuous for some of us – could use some light, even if it’s just a little candle.

Dropping of a ‘b’ I can understand but the ‘Zeena’ into ‘Zehab”? even for incurious reporters not doing homework it’s a bit much. Also the names may have even been turned around and the ‘7 years old’ turned into ‘8 years old’ as in some stories (though yes, we don’t know her birthday).
More tales of the weird….
@ marlin hehehe ..you may have answered your own question in re “Dropping of a ‘b’ I can understand but the ‘Zeena’ into ‘Zehab”? even for incurious reporters not doing homework it’s a bit much.

Your link is about the Dutch “double” of Saad. There is also a Zaid al Hilli in the Netherlands. Both of them seem to have no parents and no grand parents. Must have been a virginal birth, but that might happen from time to time as it happened 2012 years ago, too.
Marlin:
The age of the Mollier children was also given to us completely wrong by press and media. I believe that there was a difference of 3 or 4 years given compared to their real age.
Everything stinks there. This is the same fake as it was the 9/11 theatre.
For an extraction scenario everything was done too complicated. I believe the asassinations. We know the known unknowns but we dont know the unknown knowns. This is a faked theatre with bad actors on both the british and the french side.
Heehee..
Bluebird..The Shmoeloenker(sic) at picas points to nice international exchange dating to wwII and then their is Clair Shutz.. International exchange..No wonder the Russians booted out the these types of groups, though they are not beyond doing same thing.

We did same with a Copy machine in the kremlin that relayed pix of documents being copied. Not detected until weighed and compared to weight of another machine. Too funny.

I read a comment about ninja on one of Bluebirds links and looked it up I think I see ninja behaviour around Annecy ,remember the fires ,there were quite a few being reported around the time the murder happened one I remember was a fire in a apartment when a man was found dead in a car close by ,but there were several.
Ninja fires are for distraction .
I was reading Oui’s very interesting posts this morning at MZT I recommend them for a little background,she talks about borders I have clipped a bit but its better to go an see the posts in full.
Oui 12-8-2012 at 16:56:59
“in addition as I became aware, the parking Martinet is just about the frontier line between Haute Savoie and Savoie. Sometimes the border is guarded and one needs to express their purpose for entering the Savoie.”
….
I have put a few other useful skills and we even have the man dressed all in black although wiki says that’s a bit of a myth.
….
The ninja’s adaption of kites in espionage and warfare is another subject of legends. Accounts exist of ninja being lifted into the air by kites, where they flew over hostile terrain and descended into, or dropped bombs on enemy territory.[
…
Inflatable skins and breathing tubes allowed the ninja to stay underwater for longer periods of time.[83]
….
The use of disguises is common and well documented. Disguises came in the form of priests, entertainers, fortune tellers, merchants, rōnin, and monks.[69] The Buke Myōmokushō states,
Shinobi-monomi were people used in secret ways, and their duties were to go into the mountains and disguise themselves as firewood gatherers to discover and acquire the news about an enemy’s territory… they were particularly expert at travelling in disguise.[27]
A mountain ascetic (yamabushi) attire facilitated travel, as they were common and could travel freely between political boundaries.
……
“Dutch tourist Eli Draaisma, 64, from Veememdaal, in Holland, also said that a “strange” man of Eastern European appearance was scouring every corner of the Village Camping Europa site in Saint Jorioz, three hours before the al-Hilli’s left for a neighbouring campsite.
“He was dressed all in black, black trousers, black long-sleeved shirt,” he said. “He seemed to be searching the campsite, looking everywhere, but he didn’t look like a tourist. He definitely didn’t look like he belonged, he was not on a holiday.”
…

Thanks for the link to Oui’s comments over at MZT. I will go and check those out in a minute.
In the meantime, I had noticed that Martinet was very close to the Haute Savoie-Savoie border and I was wondering if that was just like a county boundary in the UK, or somewhat more impermeable like a state line in the US.
Does anybody know,especially in terms of law enforcement or public administration?
Whatever,it could most likely to be very helpful in allowing the assassins more time to make good their escape, which to me would indicate meticulous planning, rather than a random vacationing serial killer.
Peter on MZT (maybe also the Peter that posts here, maybe not)
posted this from left field idea.
CEZUS’ workplace safety is not what it ought to be. SM’s taking paternal leave was a euphemism for him taking paid medical leave, all very hush-hush. His latest child has a congenital birth defect caused by his exposition to radioactive and/or noxious materials. His new-found friends from Solidarité & Progrès urged him to go public with his grievances, but he refrained, for the sake of his family.
CEZUS promised to take care of him, his child and his new fiancée. In return, the family have sworn not to talk about him publicly and not to publish any recent photos of him, which would show him already having lost his hair etc. Even the future in-laws consider it their civic duty not to ruin Ugine’s key industry by speaking out of turn on this matter – although they have a nasty, nasty suspicion regarding who would have wanted to see SM dead, and why. But then again, he would soon have died anyway, and at least he died quickly and more or less painlessly this way.
—————————
It is yet to be based on any facts but perhaps we can find some examples of others that have suffered similarly.
Earlier I researched Nuclear related incidents in France and was surprised how many incidents and the fact I couldnt find a single one relating to Ugine suggested either that they had an excellent safety record or problems just werent announced.
However that search I did before this incident:-

“The allegations of ignored evidence in this Surrey case don’t reflect well on the investigators. Of course they are only allegations.”
From Guardian story:
“The complaint alleged Britain had ties to the alleged criminal conspiracy from its earliest stages: a UK citizen, Stephen John Kelly, served as a nominee, or “sham” director, for British Virgin Islands-based offshore companies involved in liquidating the companies used to claim the allegedly fraudulent tax refunds.”
Stephen John Kelly aka Stephen Kelly, mentioned above, is nominee director of many companies, and many of those are registered at 21 BUCKLE STREET, ALDGATE EAST, LONDON E1 8NN.
It’s an address like 55 Princes Gate, 800+ companies registered there (not all Kelly related) and a good number of Swiss banks, or they are branches of UK banks in Switzerland. For our numerologists note the 21!
Unrelated to above, another interesting address is Rodina House, 32 Duke Street, London. Don’t know of any significance to 32, but now we have Duke and before we had Princes! Recall that New Rodina (new homeland or motherland in Russian and Bulgarian) was the company in the British Virgin Islands, whose owners could not be traced further, that owned the building containing the reputed “safe house or safe flat” where Gareth Williams lived.

Any nuclear incidents in areva/belfort 2006-2009 ?
Or else perhaps being unprepared/unsecured while smuggling plutonium for third parties?
Or else drinking some polonium at a party like mr. Litvinenko?
Where comes that information from (sources) ?
On the other side of that information: is cycling uphill logic when you are ill? Doesnt that reduce your muscular power and your endurance, too? And then even cycling twice the speed than actor BM? I dont know. That does not sound logic to me.

The website I searched for accidents before I thought I had bookmarked, cant find it (too many bookmarks) and havent found via google either, yet
The math for posting is getting more complicated. Waiting for the first matrix and HEX numbers 🙂
Straw:
Belfort is Alstom/areva. They produce thermo nuclear tubes and of course perform the maintanance when one of their tubes becomes defect. The maintanance workers are always somehow exposed.
Coincidence:
there was a nuclear accident in Areva Fessenheim (50 minutes from Belfort) on Sept. 5th. 2012 injuring 2 employees.
I found at least 3 Molliers working for Alstom nuclear power tubes in Belfort.
I just posted this on MZT and wonder has it been commented on before and I missed the discussion. Keep up great work.
Just wondered about a statement I have read in many places as quoted by WBM and wonder if it has been commented on here and I missed it. Here goes
In his first interview since the murder, former RAF pilot William Martin recalled the moments he found a British family gunned down in their BMW, a young girl “stumbling” around outside it and a French cyclist dead nearby.
At first he thought there had been a road accident. But William, 53, added: “There were these things that didn’t quite make sense.
“The cyclist’s bike wasn’t by him and he wasn’t grazed — things didn’t quite work.
Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4537634/.html#ixzz2EeMQboSW
The fact that we have been told that the cyclist was shot 7 times, overkill, yet the statment says he hadnt been grazed seems totally bizarre. Am I missing the point somehow.
Mochyn
those are departements and there are no border controls. It is like in the UK and Germany and in Switzerland. However, since Schengen, there can be control teams everywhere. They control money, drugs and people particularla on highway aereas where everybody has to stop from time to time in the middle of nowhere. Those stop points change from day to day. However, there are no controls in mountains or forests.
Particularly closer to the Swiss border (not EU!) there are possible control spots from time to time. Those spots could vary and often are 50 km past the border. No problem for professional smugglers but annoyance for those who bring 20.000 euros in cash from their secret swiss bank account into the EU and who thought having done it already after passing the swiss border without any trouble.

He is a member of the Sapaudiens, that is the cycling club of Thierry and Claire Schutz. And his favourite sports guy is the manual cyclist who crossed the andes.

Frederick R Harris had an ltd in Harrow (UK) 50 min. from claygate!

How good that you got the work to reconstruct the WTC buildings after your office therein had been demolished.
I could not answer this question: is the Frederick R Harris Inc. somehow related to the politician Frederick R Harris? That would be a huge step forward if it were, because it would close the Dutch Bilderberg connection then.
@ Bluebird
When I found this PD I was just following your links Bluebird I don’t even know how the Sapaudians got brought into the search I must have missed that ,a lot of these people are friendly with each other through mutual activities and they will be giving support so it doesn’t mean much to me that they know each other, what would be odd is IF that turned out to be witness PD and he knew SM and didn’t mention it, as we don’t know if he was the witness and whether he knew SM or whether he mentioned it if he was ,it’s not much help he may just be a friend of TS through this club unless you know more than me.

10 Dec, 2012 – 12:13 pm. The “not grazed” comment, if true (we have to have plenty of salt available at all times with this story!) we can infer a few salient points.
First as to Mollier’s clothing that has not been revealed in any detail, we must assume he was wearing cycling outfit (?) with bare legs and arms, for how else could WBM form the opinion that he wasn’t grazed? The significance of this is that there is precious little space for pockets, and the more professional gear the less there is. So now what is puzzling is the report emanating from “Philippe Didierjean” I believe (I can’t find the quote just now) that someone had looked through his pockets or some such. Maybe, as many cyclists do, he was wearing a “bum-bag”. As usual these dits of evidence are on the face of it conflicting.
Next it would suggest, and I think this is what WBM was inferring, SM had dismounted from his bike not fallen off. In other words he had dismounted intentionally for a purpose, not been knocked off or fallen off. This indicates intention to stop off rather than ride past – presumably to meet either Al Hilli or the killers. It undermines completely the professional police line, that he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and unconnected to the Al Hillis. If we can see it, they must have been able to see it, which in turn must mean the police/prosecutor intended to cover up the connection between the two parties.
Was SM wearing a helmet or a cap or nothing at all on his head? Was the cap on the dash of the BMW his or someone else’s? Unhelpfully, neither WBM, PD or EM throw any light on that little question. Perhaps the “not grazed” observation extends to the head also but this is complicated presumably by two bullet entry and departure wounds to the head with the associated bleeding.
Most confusing, and I apologise to those who have followed my reasoning before, is WBM’s testimony that he saw the bicycle/ist first, specifically “in front of the car” when it is clear from the blood stains he lay behind/to the far side of the car and therefore initially out of line of sight to someone coming up the hill. It also undermines his whole story line as to moving the body to protect it. Why would he invent these two aspects of his story? Was it the killers or WBM who apparently searched the clothing of the dead Mollier and why?
Has anyone seen this before?
