Blair Out
Perhaps they set up the seat belts. Perhaps they set up the CCTV and the ambulance drivers. Perhaps they set up the embalming.
Why? Perhaps it was the possibility of marriage, perhaps it was the possibility of pregnancy and a 'wog' half brother to the half brothers. Better now, in an accident than later, when she was even more popular, stepping out of the maternity ward. They had tried many times to destroy her reputation in the eyes of the great unwashed British public, the Squidgygate was one time.
I think they realised that she was too popular with the public and disenchanted Royal employees. With too much inside knowledge (remember the Royal homosexual activities between a Royal and a servant revealed by George Smith) she could bring them down. Couldn't have that!
Here's some questions asked in the Guardian comments today with some additions of mine and some of my questions at the end: Comment is free: A travesty of justice:
1. Why do we have no pictures of the moment of the crash?
There are CCTV cameras all along the Alma Tunnel, and they were all
working, except for the one that would have shown how the crash
happened. This one was turned to face the wall. Why?
2. Why wasn't the crash cordoned off?
Police say they did cordon off the area for four to five hours, after
which they claimed they had enough evidence. So, the cleansing teams
were sent in at dawn to hose down and disinfect the tunnel, eliminating
the possibility of obtaining further evidence. Who ordered this?
3. Why did the ambulance take so long to get Diana to the hospital?
The ambulance that drove her from the tunnel, flanked by two police
outriders, took 70 minutes to reach the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, 6km
away, normally a 10 minute journey.
4. Why was Diana embalmed?
French law clearly says that no body should be embalmed if a postmortem is required.
So why did chief pathologist Dominique Lecomte embalm her immediately? Conspiracy theorists claim that it was in order to prevent a pregnancy test.
Their argument may be nonsense, but what makes their claim stronger was that someone at the hospital did announce that night Diana was six-weeks pregnant. This report was later withdrawn.
5. Why was a dangerous car used?
The Mercedes S280 supplied to Dodi had problems. Four months earlier it
had been stolen, recovered, stripped and then remade. But all was not
well. Its usual driver, Olivier Lafaye, told the police it was unstable
and drifted out at the rear end.
A warning light also indicated the vehicle had a brake problem. When the Gendarmerie Nationale motor unit did check the car, they found the brake fluid was 7.5 per cent water.
6.Was Henri Paul a patsy?
Paul was the security officer at the Ritz, called in by Dodi to drive
the car that night. He died at the wheel, and the postmortem at the
hospital found he had been drunk at the time. Authorities later blamed
him for causing the accident and not the paparazzi. Case solved.
Unfortunately, the evidence does not fit the conclusions. First, Paul does not appear drunk in any of the CCTV coverage that night. He parks his car normally, he walks steadily.
The Sun: The bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones told the High Court hearing: “At no time did I perceive he
had been drinking. If I had, I would have ensured he did not drive the car.” Rees-Jones is also reported by Karen McKenzie, Mohamed Al
Fayed’s housekeeper, to have said to her as he was waiting for a lift. “If I remember, they’ll kill me.”
Second, Paul was not a drunk. He had a perfectly normal liver and two days earlier had passed all the tests for his pilot's licence. Even if the blood sample finding was correct, it raised a far more serious problem. It showed his blood had a high concentration of carbon dioxide, enough to give him a blinding headache and render him unable to function normally. According to established medical opinion, Paul could not have been driven with that much carbon dioxide in his blood, and the levels were not found in Diana's or Dodi's blood. If Paul was functioning normally at the Ritz, but full of alcohol and carbon dioxide at the hospital, when did that change occur?
Why was he signalling to some of the paparazzi before the crash? Where did he disappear to, before he left the hotel and why was so much money found on his body after the crash? Was he instructed to travel a particular way?
According to Brenda Wells, a British secretary driving in the tunnel at the time of the crash, she was near the tunnel entrance when a motorbike with two people came screaming along, just in front of a black Mercedes. She saw two flashes of light and heard the crash. A moment later a swarm of bikes entered the tunnel, stopped, and she heard someone exclaim: "It's Di!" Her story is confirmed by Francois Levistre, a harbour pilot, who had entered the tunnel ahead of the Mercedes. We do not know who was riding that motorbike, and the police have never found them. Why not?
The Mirror: Francois Levistre, 63, claimed a blinding "white flash" was directed at Diana's Mercedes from the men's motorbike after it overtook in the Pont d'Alma tunnel, Paris. Seconds later the Mercedes ploughed into a pillar. Asked why he did not leave his car to help, Mr Levistre told a London inquest: "Fear...I thought they were hitmen. We thought the two cyclists had come to kill the people in the car." It was also claimed the Mercedes may have bumped another car.
What happened in the mysterious death of a white Fiat's driver?
This is London: But Mr Al Fayed's barrister Michael Mansfield QC suggested James Andanson may have been attacked before the car was set on fire. He said: "We just don't know whether it s a case of a man consigning himself to a bizarre and painful death or whether in fact some violence had been meted out to him first." Police are certain that Andanson, a millionaire, was a regular informer for both MI6, the British Secret Intelligence Service, and French agencies. But he was never properly interviewed by the authorities, and less than three years after the tragedy, he was also found dead. His body, found in thick woodland near Montpellier, was so badly charred that it took police nearly a month before DNA and dental records confirmed his identity.
Would you commit suicide this way?
Why did Burell condense his 3 hour "dark forces" conversation with the Queen about Dodi and Diana relationship down to one sentence?
The Sun: His friend said, Burrell had done a deal, Burrell said, "well, it is the Queen."
“I sacrificed my own integrity for the bigger picture. No I didn’t tell the whole truth. But he put me in the most unenviable position, that coroner. Because he said I had to report the conversation I had with the Queen.
“The conversation with the Queen was three hours long. And I wasn’t about to sit there and divulge everything she said to me. I wasn’t going do that. I said, ‘Do I have to answer that question?’ He said, ‘Yes, you do’. I said, ‘Well, she showed great concern’. That was all I was prepared to say.He reported the Queen saying after Diana's death. ‘There are dark forces at work in this country about which we know little.’
The Queen, 'remembered' that Burrell was 'given' some of Diana's possessions. He had been accused of stealing them. And thus, his theft trail collapsed.

"This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous. My husband is planning an accident in my car, brake failure or some serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry Tiggy. Camilla is nothing more than a decoy so we are being used by the man in every sense of the word."
If you were that rich and powerful, would you take a wife as ugly as Camilla? Why would he do this? Because she knows the truth? Because she lets you get it off with young mini royals like Tiggy? Young man servants?
Why did Condon and Stevens not hand over the note that Diana thought she'd be bumped off in a crash?
The Sun: Mr Fayed also raised concerns about a message - dubbed the Mishcon note - written by Diana’s divorce lawyer Lord Mishcon after an October 1995 meeting outlining her fears that there was a plot to kill her in a car crash.
In the strictest of confidence Lord Mishcon passed it on to police following a meeting with the then Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Condon after the Princess’s death.
It was only when Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, produced a note from the Princess making very similar allegations, while Sir John Stevens was head of the Met, that the police agreed to hand over the Mishcon note.
It was sent to the coroner in December 2003.
Reading from a statement, Mr Fayed said: “My belief that my son and Princess Diana were murdered was confirmed when I learned that the two leading Commissioners - Lord Condon and Lord Stevens - did not show the coroner the note made by a leading lawyer, Lord Mishcon, detailing the Princess’ fears for her life.”
He added: “I cannot believe that they sat upon such an important note and did not pass it on to the (examining French Magistrate) Judge Stephan in Paris and (the then coroner) Michael Burgess.
“I believe that they acted unprofessionally and they must have no conscience.”
The Harrods boss described the note as “devastating” and said it explained Diana’s fears in “black and white”.
Conclusion
To my mind, this inquest has been a farce, run by a compliant and not very inquisitive coroner. Remember this is the forth one! The rest wouldn't/couldn't toe the line.
Obviously, someone somewhere doctored Henri Paul's blood. Proof that someone somewhere knew it wasn't an accident and wanted someone in the frame. The others have contributed to the conspiracy. "It is the Queen." And they are mostly lords and knights.
It's been a farce because they just couldn't get to the truth, couldn't get the answers the establishment wanted.
I'd also like to see more investigation into the mis-information fed to the press immediately after the accident. The armour plating that delayed getting Diana out. There was no armour plating. The drunk driver story, he was not drunk, nor an alcoholic.Who said she was rubbing her belly saying she was six month pregnant? Why did the two police motorcyclists lose the ambulance during the 70 minute, 4 mile, journey to the hospital? The missing witnesses--Brenda Wells? Why isn't there a detailed map of all the people there at the time, including the strange fireman. Why the accident site was cleansed so quickly?
Too much stinks.
"Constitutional renewal (draft) bill
This promises to "rebalance power" between parliament and the government by introducing measures to limit or surrender royal prerogative powers exercised by ministers, such as the power to wage war."
'There is no war on terror': "He said: "London is not a battlefield. Those innocents who were murdered on July 7 2005 were not victims of war. And the men who killed them were not, as in their vanity they claimed on their ludicrous videos, 'soldiers'. They were deluded, narcissistic inadequates. They were criminals. They were fantasists. We need to be very clear about this. On the streets of London, there is no such thing as a 'war on terror', just as there can be no such thing as a 'war on drugs'.
"The fight against terrorism on the streets of Britain is not a war. It is the prevention of crime, the enforcement of our laws and the winning of justice for those damaged by their infringement.""
He's right. Yet...
Huge majority say civil liberty curbs a 'price worth paying' to fight terror "An overwhelming majority of people in Britain are willing to surrender civil liberties to help tackle the threat of terrorism."
I don't have an opinion on this today. I should. I usually would. Perhaps, it's because I'm in love? Too much sex in the morning? Make love, not war. Is this all that's whizzing around my head?
Perhaps, instead of locking up the mad Muslims, these good people who do evil things. We should force them to fall in love? Would this take their mind off such evil? Make them late for their terrorist meetings. Make them, absent-mindedly, forget their detonators. Make them stare blankly into the distance when they should be listening to their indoctrinations.
There'll be drip, drip, drip over the coming years of more and yet more evidence that Blair lied... You know, the bollocks about "Saddam could send missiles into Cyprus. Nukes and Osama, germ weapons..."
But what I still don't get is why. They're clever people, they would have known that it would end in the tears it is. That they'd be found out. So why did they feel it necessary to invade?Oil? Scaring the Saudis? Something to do?
I still don't see the reason they made up all the sexed up lies.

I'm just back from a tour of London, including Slone Square, Knightsbridge et al.
Didn't see Toppo there.
If ever there were a case of rightful, lawful identity fraud, he'd be the man for the sucker scam.

"This will probably ruffle some feathers, George Galloway interviewed on Sky News to discuss the Lebanon (Hizbullah) / Israel conflict."Pity people like him aren't on US TeeVee. [Via MeFi]
The Lebonese Daily Star: Many dead have yet to be counted: "Lebanon's Civil Defense puts that number even higher, with some believing that 1,000 have been killed."
Blair: But that's that's that's all that matters. But if you, you see it will take some time to get that together
Bush: Yeah, yeah
Blair: But at least it gives people...
Bush: It's a process, I agree. I told her your offer to...
Blair: Well...it's only if I mean... you know. If she's got a..., or if she needs the ground prepared as it were... Because obviously if she goes out, she's got to succeed, if it were, whereas I can go out and just talk
Bush: You see, the ... thing is what they need to do is to get Syria, to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over
I like that word, 'piquancy.' It's going to be my word for today.
"Each had a piece of knotted green cloth tied around his neck and I could see they'd been strangled," the doctor said. He also noticed round holes that were slightly inflamed in several parts of their body, a sign that they had been tortured with electric drills before being killed. "Even their eyes had been drilled and only hollow sockets remained," he said.
When he pointed out the injuries to his friend, the pathologist shrugged and took another drag on his cigarette, saying this was now routine."
During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning."
No other paper has the story this Sunday. Not the NYtimes, not the Washington Post... It's hoped instead of going to jail, he'll 'sing' on Dick Cheney. From there Bush will fall.
Rumour via MiFi.This
is how I feel. No matter what his intentions, he got it wrong. He
should fall on his sword, just on the point of principle, he wrongly,
or mistakenly or misleadingly took us into a war for WMD when there
were none.
I'm tired of politics, I admired Blair, but this makes him and all politicians scum sucking bottom feeders.
"He held it down to the guy and unloaded five shots into him."
"He had a baseball cap on and quite a sort of thickish coat - it was a coat you'd wear in winter, sort of like a padded jacket. I was distraught, totally distraught. It was no less than five yards away from where I was sitting."
"He might have had something concealed under there, I don't know. But it looked sort of out of place with the sort of weather we've been having, the sort of hot humid weather."
That's part of a good start. The rest is the fatwa and
ex-communication or whatever Muslims would call it, I'm sure they have
the same feature as the Catholics.
Won't solve the overseas bombers coming here, but even stopping a few British Muslims from being 'turned' helps.
Why discussing? And further in the article, they're not going to be tell-tales for the police.
I hear the Imams are going to point out that "Islam is about peace, love and understanding." Still, we non-believers are kifirs. Still, the problems in Iraq will persist. Still, the young idealist, faithful, will believe that martyrs get some virgins, (was 7, 17 or 72). And sex covered in perls and diamonds. It will only take a little push for the right person, one person = hundreds of deaths.
That is the problem. The solution?
The Imams should stand up and say to their gathered faithful. "All suicide bombers are in Hell—we, here in this life, condemn them there. All believers are to also expressly condemn them. This is a fatwa."
Or, even better, "actually, it was all a fairy story. There is no Allah, no Heaven, Hell. Nope. None of it is true. We made it all up. You can all go home, leave your hats, burqas, Korans at the door. We are turning this mosque into a curry house, opening next week. All welcome. Tell your friends."
Probably unlikely. As much probablity of Martians landing at the Vatican, Mecca, Canterbury Cathedral, the whole list of major religon's central authorities, telling them that "here is definitive proof—there is no hereafter, no gods." These martians better wear bullet proof vests. A lot of pissed off old Cathloic priests, sexless for life. Others who'll not want to admit to wasting so much time on a fruitless job/hobby.
Not much probability of that either. I wish there were more money spent analysing death. More scientific experiments, at the moment of death. I'm sure all data will conclude:' light on/light off.' Nothing. Ziltch. Nobody would believe it though. Too scarey.
Mankind's too young.
I've been struggling to write anything about the blast, two days ago in Iraq that killed one US solder and 26 kids. Same as I couldn't write about the Beslan School hostage massacre—172 kids died. I struggle to comprehend the minds of such mad men. Here in the UK, 9 years ago, we had a mad man walk into a school in Scotland, in Dunbane—sixteen children. I could almost understand that; he was ravin'—a complete fuckin' nutter.
Most horrors we see on the news drift over me. Killing kids, that stops me. Stays with me forever.
This world's getting more and more fucked up.
"What moved me to do what I did was purely my faith... I was motivated by the law that commands me to cut off the head of anyone who insults Allah and his prophet."
"I acted out of conviction - not because I hated your son. I have to admit I do not feel for you, I do not feel your pain... because I believe you are an infidel."
"I would do the same to my brother or father" if they had insulted the Prophet Muhammad, he said
BBC: Police lift the lid on London bomb gang: "Three of the four men were from the West Yorkshire area."
How could anyone have spotted them?
My neighbour used to work for MI5, taking pictures from high rise flats of groups of Muslims. Following one or two and recording all those who met them. He says not even our little village is safe. Down the road, in the next village, is a hot spot of fanaticism. Oakengates. West of there, in Wellington, a Mosque door was set alight a few days ago.
Years ago when I lived in Birmingham, a city hit horribly by IRA bombings, there too were hot spots of Republicianism, one in Digbeth where I had my office. Good pubs, nice Guinness, mad drunken cailies.
But this is different. Horribly, tragically different. When a person is willing to die for their beliefs, worse to take many, many others along with them, nothing can stop them. Muslim leaders say they will look for them at prayers, and engage them, talk to them, tell them that Islam is peace...
I know one way to stop them. Do as the Romans or Nazis or Stalinists would have done. Trace back their family, close friends and execute them. As many as they murder, so does the state.
It will stop home grown nacent terrorism. Not, I think, imported, disguised, clean skins. But, it will give them too pause for thought, that their small brother, their parents, neighbours will be killed should there be a DNA trace.
Repressive? Facist? State terror?
No.
Me, a good liberal, socialist, anti-authority hippy dude, I shake my head, but I cannot see another way. Viciousness because of the differences, skin colour, culture? No!! I called for this after the Real IRA blew up Omagh town centre. Jail is no deterrant to these bastards. Vengeance is.
The recognisable language of his latest speech is being seen as part of an ongoing strategy by the White House.
The reasoning seems to be that if the same arguments are repeated often enough and in clear enough terms, they will eventually stick with the electorate."
Same thing, over and over. Just like WMD.
"At the World Economic Forum last year, Gareth Evans, the former Australian foreign minister and head of the International Crisis Group thinktank, said: "The net result of the war on terror is more war and more terror. Look at Iraq: the least plausible reason for going to war - terrorism - has been its most harrowing consequence.""
Lots of hard to swallow, anti-war truisms in this piece in the Guardian.
But what to do?
"Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry ‘Havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial."
