Was Diana Killed?

Since her tragic death, I have refused to believe that there was any “funny business” involved. Up till now, I have not been able to put together enough evidence to tip the balance. Also, in cases of this magnitude I feel we all need to put suspicion and gut feeling aside and let the evidence do the talking. Many a man has stood accused of high crimes, jailed, sentenced to death – even lynched – just because some story had some sort of credibility. I never felt compelled to doubt the official story so I didn’t. But now I am not so sure and my reasons for being a doubting Thomas – I am sharing with you.

Baroness Elizabeth Butler-Sloss announced on April the 24th that she is stepping down, come June, as coroner for the inquests into the death of Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed. That struck me as strange especially after finding out her reasons for doing so…

These inquests now require a jury, and I do not have the degree of experience of jury cases that I feel is necessary and appropriate for presiding over inquests of this level of public interest.

Words, words and more words. Lawyers and Politicians are known to be very good at using language. This woman has actually used careful language to conceal her real reasons and sold us these lines. Many will fall for it – not me! What on earth does she mean - Degree of experience, Jury Cases, Necessary and Appropriate, Level of Public Interest? What more experience does she need? This is a woman who called was to the Bar from the Inner Temple in 1955, appointed Registrar at the Principal Registry of the family Division in 1970, became the fourth female High Court Judge in 1979, became the first woman appointed as a Justice of the Court of Appeal in 1988, became the first female President of the Family Division of the High Court of Justice in 1999 and the highest ranking female judge in UK until Brenda Hale became the first female Lord of Appeal in Ordinary in January 2004!!

The summarized CV above doesn’t conjure up images of someone lacking “Jury experience” that is “necessary and appropriate” to me. Neither should it do so to anybody else for that matter, even in the slightest – I would have thought. Lack of experience or not, this woman doesn’t strike me as one who will back down from something as minor as jury experience in the line of duty. If that was the case her CV would not be full of all those firsts [1st woman appointments]. Common sense tells me that this is the type of case one jumps at to makes one’s name. The average ambitious person would jump at this case of a lifetime. I think this case is much bigger [Her vs. The Establishment] than any case she had come across in her entire career. Also we all know that there is only one way this case can go – tragic accident – no matter the evidence presented! That, my friend is what [it seems] she is afraid of and decided to jump ship. Is it not scary to even think of finding the establishment guilty of murder!! The stakes are as high as they get in this case and looking at it properly, if it goes the other way it will shake this nation to its very roots. In fact, if it goes the other way it will be the greatest demonstration of the independence of British Justice in the history of this nation. I will be following every bit of it with baited breath.

Her carefully-chosen words left me agreeing 100% with George Orwell, in his essay – Politics and the English Language – where he quite correctly stated that…

“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind”

I must admit, I had my suspicions from day one. Imagine Diana, a blue-blood Caucasian female, a perfect-fit, a top-breed, a lady hand-picked [by the establishment] to be the queen of England, marrying Mohammed Al Fayed’s son? This is the same al fayed, a non-white, a foreigner, an immigrant made good, a well known enemy of state since the 80’s, a Muslim, an Egyptian, – these facts alone have swayed millions. Yes, like millions of others, I had my suspicions but as a civilized gent, I waited for evidence. In what is turning out to be a long-winded face-saving exercise in damage limitation and spin, by resigning, Lady Butler-Sloss not just tipped the scales, she broke them. I am now convinced there is some funny business involved.

Let’s now take a closer look at the event [the death of Diana] as it has been officially presented to us and the history of the investigation into the event. I am principally looking for things that do not add up so as to assure firstly myself, and subsequently anybody reading this, that all my suspicions are not lifted from thin air.

The Mercedes-Benz S 280 in which Diana, Dodi, their driver – Henri Paul, and body guard – Trevor Rees-Jones were traveling in when they left the Hotel Ritz in Place Vendome- Paris on that faithful day [31st August 1997], crashed as it entered the underpass below the Place de L’Alma. They were being followed at high speed by 9 French photographers. Their car collided head-on with the 13th pillar in the tunnel. Immediately after the crash, Diana was reported to have been conscious and was murmuring some words. Dodi and Henri Paul died at the scene. Trevor Rees-Jones was conscious. Diana was trapped in the mangles of the car and would remain there for almost an hour before she was cut free and taken to Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital a little after 02:00 hours. By 04:00 hours she was pronounced dead due to extensive internal injuries.

A few facts that I feel don’t add up.

  1. After the event, their was no official inquest into her death till 2004 – seven years after.
  2. In 1999, the French investigation concluded that their car had come in contact with another vehicle – a white Fiat Uno. The driver and the vehicle have not been found till this day.
  3. In the Sunday times of 29 January 2006, it was claimed – and this was later confirmed – that there were British secret service agents in Paris on the night of her death.
  4. Two American eye witnesses of the crash were never interviewed or mentioned in Scotland Yard’s official report.
  5. Lady Butler-Sloss is not the first coroner to abandon the inquest into Diana’s death, Michael Burgess before her, did the same claiming the workload being “heavy and constant”.
  6. 1st coroner – workload “heavy and constant”
  7. 2nd coroner – “Lack of Jury experience”
  8. 3rd coroner – Lord Justice Scott Baker - we just have to wait and see.

In conclusion, I used to think an inquest was an investigation in to an event. If this is not some pre-determined inquest, why would two adequately qualified Judges Jump ship? I conclude it speaks volumes as far as this inquest is concerned.

Was she or wasn’t she killed? As I said earlier – I will be watching with baited breath.

One Wonders

Madeline McCann - the 3 year old British girl abducted from her room on the Ground floor apartment of the Ocean Club Holiday Resort in Algarve, Western Lisbon, where her family were spending a week-long holiday - is still missing. She was abducted on Thursday 3rd May 2007. Her parents, who where dining only about 100 meters away after the girl and her younger 2 year-old twin  siblings were tucked away in bed, came back to find her room window open and her missing from her bed. The alarm was raised and ever since, there has been the police, sniffer dogs and even volunteers from both the local community and the holiday resort to help with the search, but to no avail – she is still missing.

All I will say is this - whoever resorted to kidnapping an innocent 3 year old for whatever reason deserves the death penalty. I do not agree in capital punishment but in cases that involve the abduction of children, public beheading suits the crime. Not only will it serve as perfect retribution but also a good deterrent.

Only God knows what her family and friends will be thinking now. One cannot help but think the worst – yet appear positive. I hate it when things like this happen because I always assume the worst. I mean why would any one want to kidnap a 3 year old girl? I cannot even bring myself to share with you what I really think. When they eventually find her, what state would she be in? Safe? Alive? Dead? As I said, one wonders.

Wolfgang was right to take his Life!

Wolfgang Priklopil - the 44 year old telecoms technicians that kidnapped and held Natascha Kampusch captive for eight solid years - killed himself by jumping in front of a moving train near Vienna’s Northern Station. Apparently the police were after him after Natascha escaped from his imprisonment and raised the alarm. I am most happy he died an awful death.

Natascha Kampusch was the Austrian girl, I remember reading about when it was reported she vanished on her way to school in Vienna’s Donaustadt on March 2, 1998, when she was only 10. She was kidnapped using a white van and held prisoner in a window-less basement room below the garage at Wolfgang’s house in Strasshof an der Nordbahn in lower Austria.  Apparently apart from looking very pale and disillusioned, she was well fed and well spoken for an 18 year old suggesting that as well as “whatever reasons” he might have had for imprisoning the young girl, not only did he feed her well but educated her as well. Of that we should at least be pleased. A scar on her body, her passport and fresh DNA tests confirmed her identity.

A lot is being made out of the whole thing - and quite rightfully so. As much as the unavoidable media interest, I worry a bit about gory details coming out. You need not a degree in Psychology or Philosophy to figure out his main motif for the kidnap. He is nothing but a cool calm and confident paedophile that took his evil act to perfection. Not the typical child abductor that will sexually abuse and abandon, no he kidnapped and groomed this 10 year old to adolescence.  He kept her alive for the long term. Words cannot describe this type of crime and nobody [even if they knew the details] should be allowed to publish them.

If Natascha were my daughter, sister, or relative - I will kill this son of 1000 bastards with bear-fist blows to the head. In cases like this, the animal in me rears its very ugly head and nothing but death will appease the likes of me. I will never see the point in sparing such a life or forgiving such evil.

I am most happy Wolfgang took his own life in a manner most horrid!

What would Rev Julie Nicholson have said Here!

A very good piece of news to support my criticism see link …http://jideofo74.blog.com/615242/…… of Rev Julie Nicholson. What would she have told this young girl’s mother who also lost a daughter in a way most horrid? I will not forgive myself but am not a priest. If I were then, if I preach it, I would practice it.

For those of you who care, more details from…

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4664492.stm

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/4740146.stm



 
For those of you with little time on their hands, a summary below.
 

On Friday 6th May 2005, a gang of 6 London young men, led by Adrian Thomas, drove to Reading, abducted a 16 year old girl by the name Mary-Ann Lenegham and her 18 year old friend from a car park, took them to a Abbey Guest House in Reading, sexually assaulted them, then drove them to Prospect Park also in Reading where Mary-Ann was stabbed 40 times and her friend was shot in the head and were left to die.

When the London gang left, Mary-Ann’s friend managed to get up and look for help. Shortly after 5am on Saturday 7th of May, a passer-by came to her rescue. The police later found Mary-Ann’s body and a full-scale murder inquiry began which eventually led to the London gang.

The London gang are: Adrian Thomas, 20, of Battersea, south London; Llewellyn Adams, 24, of Balham, south London; Indrit Krasniqi, 18, of Chiswick, London; Michael Johnson, 19, of Southfields; and brothers Jamaile and Joshua Morally, 23 and 22, of Balham, south London.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4778704.stm

Now we know that the reason the incident above happened was because        Adrian believed he was “set up” by Mary-Ann who had visited his then flat in       Reading’s Oxford Road and shortly afterwards he was attacked in the flat by a       number of local men, who robbed him of money, a mobile phone and his stash of drugs. He believes Mary-Ann had something to do with it.

Even at that, their actions defy belief. What makes this case even worse is that Four of Mary-Ann’s killers - Adrian Thomas, Michael Johnson, Jamaile Morally, and Indrit Krasniqi, - were under supervision in the community. Having commited crimes in the past, there were all on Probation.

For men that young to commit murder is very very scary. In my opinion, it is either the government start tackling crime at the roots or line up these monsters and shoot all of them.

The only problem with shooting these vilan is that even as they are being shot, new fresh monsters will take their place.
