Update (September 22,
1997): Agence-France-Presse reported
British lawyer Gary Hunter in a hotel room directly above
the Alma tunnel witnessing a small black
car fleeing at 60-70 mph from
the tunnel, after his hearing the crash
and looking out of his third floor hotel
window. Significantly, he added that his
impression was that the car was running
from the scene and that it "looked
quite sinister" to him. According to
news accounts, he also said, "the
car was being shadowed by a second
vehicle, a white Mercedes."
``I heard the screeching of tires. I saw
a small dark car turning the corner at
the top of the road. I would say it was
racing at 60-70 mph,'' Hunter, 41, was
quoted as saying. ``My own feeling is
that these were people in a hurry not to
be there. I am confident that the car was
getting off the scene ... it looked quite
sinister.''While
the above arouses one's senses as to the
meaning of the many questions and issues
raised by the Diana, cause of death and
Diana, cause of accident web pages, the first
concrete evidence of foul play, comes, in the same report, from
Brenda
Wells, a British
secretary who circumstance had it was
headed directly for the Alma tunnel from
what we interpret was a secondary feeding
road (slip-road which appears from the
right just before the tunnel proper). The
same news agency citing the Sunday Mirror wrote:
"Brenda
Wells said that she was driving toward
the Alma tunnel
when she was forced off the road by two
motorbikes chasing a large
car and that she then saw a black
car pass
her."
If Brenda Wells'
account is found true and confirmed by
more details, the meaning is that the
accident may not have been an accident at
all. If Brenda Wells was deliberately
stopped or impeded from entering the
tunnel at a critical time window,
allowing the black car to enter, when
Wells was being stymied by two
motorcycles from being at the right place
at the wrong time, then it is
circumstantial proof certain of
deliberate, aforethought, foul play.
First
evidences of foul play give new
implications to the meaning of the issues
and questions heretofore raised. With the collective
consciousness of billions of people
linked into the accident and death of
Princess Diana, it must be made difficult
for those behind the sinister deeds to
escape, and it is certainly incumbent on
all good men and women of conscience to
help assure that the full truth emerges.
Update
(September 24, 1997) :Brenda Wells may hold the story
of the year and she seems to be missing!
First, let us directly
quote from the story appearing 09/21/97
from Agence France-Presse: LONDON,
Sept 21 (AFP) -"
The Sunday Mirror meanwhile
quoted a British secretary living in
Paris who said she had seen a
dark-coloured car following Diana's
Mercedes. Brenda Wells said that she was
driving toward the Alma tunnel when she
was forced off the road by two motorbikes
chasing a large car and that she then saw
a black car pass her."
The Associated
Press story, the
only U.S. report regarding Brenda Wells,
bent the meaning of the AFP story. The AP
wrote: "The Mirror also said that
another British witness, Londoner Brenda
Wells, 40, told investigators she was
driving back from a party and was forced
off the road by a motorbike pursuing a
big black car. Then came the crash. 'The
big car had come off the road. I stopped
and five or six motorbikes arrived and
started taking photographs. They were
crying, 'It's Diana.' The newspaper
quoted her as having testified."
It is obvious that the Associated Press
report and the Agence France-Presse
report say two different things. Thus, we
quote directly from the Daily Mirror: "The whereabouts
of a British secretary driving in the
tunnel at the time of Diana's crash were
also shrouded in mystery yesterday. London-born Brenda Wells, 40,
told police how she was forced off the
road by a motorbike following Diana's
Mercedes at high speed. Ms. Wells also
saw a dark-coloured car - possibly the
Fiat Uno which has now become the focal
point of the French probe into the crash. In her statement she claims:
'After a party with my friends, I was
returning to my home. A motorbike with
two men forced me off the road. It was
following a big car. Afterwards in the
tunnel there were very strong lights like
flashes. After that, a black car arrived.
The big car had come off the road. I
stopped and five or six motorbikes
arrived and started taking photographs.
They were crying 'It's Diana.'.' Brenda's
evidence calls into question initial
claims that pursuing paparazzi were to
blame. She makes the first mention of
photographers AFTER (emphasis in
original) the accident when 'five or six'
paparazzi arrived and took pictures. But last night,
despite extensive inquiries in the Paris
suburb of Champigny sur Marne where she
told police she lived, Brenda could not
be located."
Brenda
Wells may prove to become a witness of
equal if not greater importance to Trevor
Rees-Jones. If
she was impeded from entering the tunnel,
it is concrete circumstantial evidence of
foul-play. The fact that she is
missing and world news stands strangely
silent as to what has already been
reported, suggests that Brenda Wells is
someone who must be located. That she
cannot be found is highly disturbing. If
she is under the "protection"
or "custody" of French
authorities, her "safety" would
be further aided by letting the public so
know.
Update
(September 25, 1997):
Facts currently indicate complicity on
the highest levels of government. There
is a near total absence of news coverage
regarding Brenda Wells. Moreover there is
no discussion whatsoever it seems
regarding the implications of the account
given by Gary Hunter. When coupled with
Diana's long ambulance ride and the shown
complacency of high French officials, it
would appear appropriate to highlight
news stories which might suggest reasons
for complicity and foul play.
Henri Paul cannot reply to the
dispersions carelessly made about him and
his nexus to the accident and death of
Diana. As we have indicated all along,
the directed focus on Henri Paul appears
to be nothing other than misinformation
and possibly further evidence of foul
play, as discussed below.
The Chicago
Tribune on July 15, 1997 wrote:
The 36-year-old princess was pictured
late Monday leaning over a yacht and
reportedly telling the reporters:
"You are going to get a big
surprise, you'll see. You are going
to get a big surprise with the next
thing I do."
Time Magazine in doing a
cover story on Diana on September 8th
wrote: "The courtship began
correctly enough in mid-July, when
the senior Al Fayed invited the
princess and her two sons to vacation
with his family
at his villa in St.-Tropez. It may or
may not have been mentioned that the
younger Al Fayed would be there as
well, but it was clearly understood.
Tabloid reporters began scenting a
story when they learned that Diana
and her children would be spending a
holiday at the home of the elder Al
Fayed, a man sniffed at by the
British elite. They descended,
pursuing the two families wherever
they went. Diana, no longer smothered
by palace protocol, at last was able
to give as good as she got. Racing up
to reporters in a speedboat, she reportedly
declared, "You are going to get
a big surprise with the next thing I
do." Diana later
denied making the statement, but she
did not disappoint. Rumors flew of an
engagement to be announced this
month. The
following week she joined Al Fayed at
Paris' Hotel Ritz--one of the many properties owned by
his father--then left with the son
for a five-day vacation aboard his
family yacht in the
Mediterranean."
People Magazine,
prior to Diana's accident and death,
wrote on August 25, 1997:
"Whoa, there!--we are talking
about a woman who has, through the
years, become the poster girl for
Smart Princess, Dumb Choices.
(Remember lover James Hewitt, who
revealed all in a kiss-and-tell
book?) The man on
whose French-cuffed arm Diana now
hangs may be charming, but he is no
prince, and his father--though he may
be as rich as Croesus--no king. A
longtime friend of Di's own late
father, Earl
Spencer, Dodi's tycoon dad brought
the pair together. A self-made billionaire
who, in addition to Harrods, has a
leasehold on the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor's Paris home (he is
auctioning offthe contents in
September at Sotheby's), Mohamed Al
Fayed sponsors the Royal Windsor
Horse Show, where he shares the
Queen's box. Yet he has been denied
British citizenship following
questions about his financing of the
Harrods purchase and has admitted
paying Tory members of Parliament for
political favors between 1987 and
1989, a move often
credited with speeding the demise of
John Major's government. Many believe
that Al Fayed stoked his son's
romantic flames as a way to strike
back at a British establishment that
has consistently rebuffed him. For
such a man, says Brian Hoey, author
of 13 books on the Windsors, "it
would be the ultimate revenge to have
the mother of the future king of
England in the family.""
The
damage and anger Diana was causing
the Royal family is readily seen from
a Meet the Press televised
discussion following Diana's funeral:
MR. HITCHENS: But I
don't see why we should be the
megaphone for this kind of thing all
the time. The desire to worship and
to find a
leader figure and grovel to it is not
an absolutely unmixed blessing in human nature,
OK? And there were some unpleasant
aspects to it this
week, for example, the attempt to
blame our profession
for the death and to shift attention
away from the rather
trashy
and crooked family into which Diana
was hoping to marry. Because
we couldn't mention anything like
that in the week of her canonization,
but the fact is, she's been
saved from joining the Al
Fayed
family and taking those boys into
that. And that's what she
was
hoping to do. Now, this is not, in
fact, sainthood. It's not sainthood.
MS. MATHER: We don't know that,
Christopher. We have--we absolutely can't say that.
MR. HITCHENS: We're
given every reason, we're encouraged
to think that
it's true, and certainly no one has
challenged the Fayed family spokesman who has been
groveled to by this network outside
the gates of
Buckingham Palace several times this
week in the impression he gives that that's true.
MR. RUSSERT: Let's go to London.
MS. MATHER: I
completely agree with you, that the
Fayeds are a very
controversial family. It was dubious
company for the mother of the future king to keep.
What has been extraordinary here is
how that has
been forgiven. I personally have
written very critically about it in the Sunday
Telegraph. But here all that's been
swept away.
There were many notes here behind us
on the railings and at Kensington Palace which are
to Diana and to Dodi. Perhaps
they--the crowds
in--there is sentimentality, and
sentimentality isn't entirely a bad thing. That perhaps
this sad and unhappy girl did at
least have a
happy few last weeks of her life.
Finally, we look to
Libyan leader Muammer Gaddafi to
openly express what others may be
thinking. The following is from
Reuters
TUNIS, Sept 23
(Reuters) - "....``(But) we
say that Britain is running into an
affair bigger than the Lockerbie one.
We must put the affair to the (U.N.)
Security Council. The accusation is
directed at the Royal family, not at
the British cabinet or the Labour
party,'' he added. On September 2, Gaddafi
accused Britain and France of
``executing'' Diana and her Egyptian
companion, Dodi al-Fayed, ``because
they were annoyed that an Arab man
might marry a British princess.''
Britain's Foreign Office promptly
rejected Gaddafi's remarks then as
outrageous, absurd and distasteful --
but the conpiracy theory as outlined
by Gaddafi quickly gained wide
currency in the Arab world.
."
CONCLUSION: If billions
of people could empathize and involve
themselves in the death and funeral of
Princess Diana, it is demeaning
that when important witnesses and
accounts are touched upon, that suddenly
there is a total absence of news and
follow up. It
suggests pressures and forces from the
highest level of government, not only in
France, but in England and the United
States as well. One has to consider
different facets when faced with the
facts displayed in these web pages. Has
the Royal family called in markers and
favors owed to them? Did the Royal family
discount the intense interest in the
death of one they seemed to detest?
Doesn't the death of Diana resolve many
problems for them? Isn't it an ironical
bonus that her death also serves to now
hold in bay the media and opens a door
for laws to protect the Royal family from
future incursions and discussions about
them by the media? Did the Royal family
see a marriage between Diana and Dodi as
a device for both of them independently
to invoke revenge against the Royals? How
could she be allowed to marry a person,
the son of a man which Britain has long
denied citizenship? What if Diana now
became pregnant? Would the future king of
England have an Arab/Muslim step-father
and half-brother? Wouldn't all this,
among many other considerations,
effectively undermine/compromise the
Royal family, aside from causing
conditions the Royal family would find
personally insufferable and unable to
live with? While you cannot hold the Royal
family to blame because of the
convenience of the death of Diana, one
can fairly and seriously ponder whether
there is a nexus between them and her
death when suddenly forces emerge, so
strong as to quell media, press and
investigative interest in emerging facts
and accounts.
Simply said, under such apparent
conditions, the potential nexus of the
Royal family to Diana's death is fairly
said to be as equally great as that of
Henri Paul. It is also fair now to
question whether in the seconds after
Henri Paul's death there was any
artificial intervention which predicated
the high intoxication readings. We
continue to await more from Trevor
Rees-Jones, Gary Hunter and especially
Brenda Wells. Where is she? Will she
change or modify her story? Why wasn't a
full account taken from her immediately?
Why wasn't she interviewed for
television? These web pages are replete
with unanswered compelling questions and
issues. If the media distances itself
from the Diana story by seemingly losing
interest in it, should you and the
billions of other people involved with
the accident and her death lose interest
too? With all due respect, the answers to
the open questions and issues are of much
greater meaning to her memory than the
Elton John song.
Postscript thought
(09/25/97): It is
important to emphasize why the facts
dont point to the driver, Henri
Paul, or to the free lance photographers.
We have covered the driver, Henri Paul.
The reason we discount the free lance
photographers, as an independent entity,
is because of the evidence of complicity
seemingly by the highest levels of
government. This directs focus on the
Royals as the third alternative potential
nexus to the accident and death of
Princess Diana. We emphasize accident AND
death. We believe that the evidence to
date supports that Diana may have lived
had she been taken immediately to the
Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital just 4 miles,
six kilometers, away. The delay and the
misinformation generated was so obtuse
and inexcusable as to only result in the
conclusion that reasonable experienced
men and women would themselves tend to
believe it was intentional. Further, in
view of current perspectives, the
rejection of Daimler-Benz to help
reconstruct and interpret the accident
stands out as a red flag masking putative
collusion and foul play. We wait to hear
that Brenda Wells has been located and
what she has to fully say now post her
apparent disappearance and the decision
of the media to sidestep discussion of
the implications of what she and Gary
Hunter have already said. Perhaps the
Royals announcement that they are
thinking of moving out of Buckingham
Palace foreshadows the truth. While we
started Page 1 with the idea that one
must consider the ambulance ride as the
nexus to Dianas death, news and
events since that time, point to actions
and deeds beyond simple malfeasance.
Update
(September 29, 1997): News reports
from France indicate that French
investigators are leaning toward finding
alcohol and speed as the cause of the
August 31st accident
("Diana Probers Blame Speed,
Drinking, not Paparazzi" Reuters).
They cite these two factors as the two
prevalent reasons for auto accidents in
France, and indicate that this accident
was another routine accident. If this in
fact is their attitude in the final
report, then the public has good reason
to be highly cynical of it and the
movement toward world government. When
the media is restrained or controlled or
dominated by government, when citizens of
the world are denied the truth and the
type of analysis we have presented here,
then democracy itself is compromised and
may become itself an illusion and victim.
This is what concerned us regarding the
U.S. government's conduct towards its own
citizens regarding TWA Flight 800. Here
the sole superpower cannot come forth
with an explanation of an airplane
accident several miles off its shore. The
truth of it seems that they cannot hatch
an acceptable lie which doesn't implicate
major corporations who would refute it.
While the government comes up with theory
upon theory, the media and government
circumvent the surest evidence of what
did occur: radar images which were shown
the day of the TWA Flight 800 tragedy and
which thereafter disappeared, as
apparently has Brenda Wells. Not only can we no longer find
a singular reference to Brenda Wells but
we cannot find any meaningful discussion
of the radar images regarding TWA Flight
800. We ourselves saw these radar images,
which the government calls an
"anomaly." Unless anomalies
appear 8 seconds before an implosion and
disappear with it, and unless anomalies
move past an airplane and then turn and
head into it, and disappear in tandem
with it, then it was what ironically
French intelligence first reported: a
missile. Moreover, the disdain for the
public is further highlighted by the fact
that the U.S. media totally circumvented
any intense coverage of the many people
who witnessed facts consistent with a
missile. Similar no doubt to witnesses to
the Diana accident, these witnesses are
wondering what the heck is going on when
what they have to say is disregarded or
belittled. In fact one witness to the
Princess Diana accident said he had to
repeatedly call the police to tell them
he had something to offer; he was told
they had enough witnesses, and only after
his insistence, they agreed to hear what
he had to say {Jack/Robin Firestone}. If
you want to more fully grasp the dynamics
of what is going on, we have posted as a
public service an entire novel for free
on the Internet - Recapturing
America, which book explains and teaches
the dynamics and dangers behind the U.S.
as the sole unchecked world superpower.
The U.S. Constitution provided a system
of government of checks and balances;
however, the U.S. for the first time in
history has mounted to a sole superpower
status. Without checks and balances, we
get the type of collusion we may have
witnessed with the Princess Diana
accident, we certainly get control of the
media and the press, and we get dangers
which compromise the rights and interests
of U.S. citizens. For these
reasons it is important that people
everywhere speak out: not so much to
dispel the French investigators, who are
routinely inept and subject to
compromise, but as to the failure of the
media and press to provide the platform
offered by these Diana web pages. While
our web pages have enjoyed global
interest, they don't carry the weight of
the every day press and media to rouse
people's attention and ire on a broad
scale and to thereby generate political
action.
CONCLUSION: We would
think that Dodi Fayed's father will
investigate this entire affair using the
resources he has at his disposal. Do we
need a person with vast wealth to
guarantee pursuit of the truth? Do we
have to fear governmental powers
thwarting an investigation by a vastly
powerful person? Trevor Rees-Jones takes
on the power to singularly oppose a false
report. Will his memory ever return? Does
he fear it returning? Why did he put on a
seat belt when Diana didn't? There is one
piece of seemingly confirmed evidence
that may jog Trevor Rees-Jones' memory. There
is a picture showing Princess Diana
turning around and looking out the back
window at a motorcycle. What we believe
she may have been doing is seeing if she
recognized the motorcycle driver. She
was aware - after the many years together
- of the identity of aggressive
photographers. Did Trevor Rees-Jones
sense danger when Diana possibly said she
did not recognize the person/persons on
the motorcycle aggressively or
suspiciously moving about the Mercedes?
The free lance photographers said they
were all far back from the car, while a
string of witnesses saw two motorcycles
with a black car traveling next to and/or
in front of the Mercedes. Do the French
investigators know who was in the black
car and the three persons on the two
motorcycles? If
not, more than ever, Brenda Wells
statements to date take on critical
importance, and it would be frivolous to
leak news that they are going to point to
alcohol and speed (i.e. Henri Paul). If
any investigator establishes that Brenda
Wells was impeded from entering the
tunnel, then the evidence points to a
conclusion far different than
"alcohol and speed." Where is Brenda
Wells? Again, where is Brenda Wells? If Brenda Wells
is a sham, or an illusion, then tell us.
Otherwise, produce her!
Update(September
30, 1997): The
misinformation spin masters were out in
full force. A keen example was a British
spokesman who said Britons were tired of
the news regarding Diana and the
newspapers were relegating stories to
pages 6 and 7. Moreover, he said, the
situation was clear. We had a highly
intoxicated fellow who simply smashed up
a car. Case closed. The truth of it all
is that Britons, like most others
throughout the world, are not tired of
it, and in fact have grown more
suspicious and rightfully so. As one
professional accident analyst proffered
today: the French permitted the accident
scene to become polluted. The skid marks
were critical to determining salient
facts regarding what Henri Paul did and
what effect, if any, a second car and two
motorcycles may have had on Henri Paul's
driving. Normally, this type of
accident analysis is done immediately:
within a week, at the latest, and steps
are taken to preserve the accident site.
Since the French are treating this
accident as any other accident involving
alcohol, it appears that they carry no
remorse in opening up the roadway hours
after the accident without preserving
important evidence. To do the studies
four weeks later is frivolous, this
accident expert said, and it appeared he
didn't even know about the immediate
offer of Daimler-Benz to aid in such an
analysis, Daimler-Benz obviously aware of
the critical time window existing
concurrent with the accident.
The public is treated with disdain: if
enough spin masters say that everyone is
losing interest and getting on with their
lives; if they give the appearance the
general public is thinking that it is a
simple case of an "addicted"
"chronic" alcoholic causing a
horrific accident; if they further
buttress it by having the press and media
altogether ignore the accident and death
of Diana, or by having the press put it
on page 6 of the daily newspaper, then
the spin masters conclude they will
prevail, and the dupes (the public) will
have been duped again.
However, we for one, put focus on where
the press and media should be doing its
jobs. To say that this accident is just
an ordinary accident of a driver full of
alcohol and drugs, belittles the facts
established.
- It
involved the Princess of Wales.
- It
occurred just prior to an
anticipated announcement of
engagement to Dodi Fayed.
- Her death
eviscerated the steep problems
which would have faced the Royals
and England had she in fact
married Dodi, or worse, become
pregnant during the marriage.
- The
original focus should not have
been on Henri Paul but the fact
that Diana could have survived
the accident.
- The Police
Chief for Paris, France and the
Interior Minister for the
country, jointly admitted that
they were surprised at the
inordinate delay in the ambulance
delivering Diana to the hospital.
Yet no one picked up a phone to
call the ambulance.
- No facts
have been revealed as to who was
on ambulance, or what treatment
was rendered to Diana, and who
made the decisions to take one
hour to bring her to a hospital 6
kilometers from the accident
site. It moreover is unlikely
that the ambulance even carried
sufficient amounts of blood she
needed.
- The
ambulance was originally
accompanied by two police
motorcycles, who "lost"
the ambulance.
- Diana's
suffered an injury to her left
pulmonary vein, not to her aorta,
which we understand is the type
of injury normally sustained in a
"deceleration"
incident. She would have
materially benefited if she was
quickly delivered to the hospital
and placed on a heart lung unit.
Neither was done.
- Misinformation
was released that the Mercedes
was armored to support why it
took so long to get Diana to a
hospital. Only after intense
world interest and focus did
salient truthful facts became
available including that she
could have been swiftly removed
from the car and scene and
whisked to a hospital where 25
specialists were awaiting her.
- A picture
was taken showing Diana not
looking at the photographer
taking the picture but at a
motorcycle behind the car. To do
so she had to fully turn around,
and it would appear that she was
trying to identify those on the
motorcycle. Why?
- Trevor
Rees-Jones put on his seat belt.
Diana was a devoted seat belt
user. If the focus and concern
was Henri Paul then they would
have simply told him to stop the
car or pull over. Diana and Dodi
both could handle another
confrontation with the press.
They wouldn't risk their lives to
allow someone driving erratically
to continue.
- To further
attest that Henri Paul wasn't
their concern, we have Brian
Anderson seeing the Mercedes
driving in a straight path. We
have Trevor Rees-Jones
remembering nothing unusual about
Henri Paul. We have the fact that
Henri Paul parked his car
normally, a feat hard to do when
highly intoxicated, thereafter
walking normally, even speaking
with both Dodi and Diana. Yet the
contention is that this man was a
chronic alcoholic and based on
this contention we should all
blindly accept it and go on with
our lives.
- We do not
hear the fact that during the
course of Henri Paul's chronic
long term alcoholic condition he
was a licensed pilot with 600
hours flying time. As one news
story stated: "'Flying an
aircraft through fog is not
something you can do just hoping
for the best,' Jean-Andre
Cahazuc, his former instructor,
told one French newspaper. 'It
takes discipline, and Paul was
the complete opposite of a
clown.'"
- While
the media reports the French
conducting one of the most
thorough auto accident
investigations in history, it is
already a sham since they have
polluted the opportunity to
obtain critical evidence. Moreover,
the investigators seem to
discount and belittle the
evidence of a Gary Hunter and
Brenda Wells, while at the same
time discouraging others to come
forward. The press and
media moreover circumvent any
follow-up or discussion
concerning what Wells in
particular had to say. Brenda
Wells is nowhere to be found, as
far as we know.
- It
doesn't take an Einstein to
recognize that the accident took
place in an area where the
chances of witnesses were
minimized.
Sheer coincidence? We don't think
so, when the mystery black car
and two motorcycles seemingly
made their move in the tunnel,
and Brenda Wells has effectively
stated that she was stymied from
entering the tunnel at this very
critical time window.
- How
can the French leak and then
confirm that they are bent on
seeing here a routine accident
caused by an "addicted"
long term alcoholic until and
unless they know the identity of
the passengers on the motorcycles
and in the mystery black car. To even assert
blame under the circumstances and
facts detailed above is an
abomination of responsibility and
accountability and an insult to
the public.
- There are
obviously forces who want to
derail intelligent thought, press
coverage and investigation of the
Diana accident and death. The
investigation and press and media
coverage of the Diana accident
and death are vastly important to
the future of all citizens of the
world. If the press and media can
be manipulated, if anyone wishing
to pursue serious inquiry and
discussion can be thwarted, then
do such characteristics reflect
democracy, or autocracy? In a
democratic society and
environment a free, open, and
aggressively inquiring press and
media is essential to offset the
power and control of central
government and control. In the
new world order being
successfully pursued this past
decade plus, it is imperative to
preserve the power and
responsibilities of the press and
media. If they fail here, as they
have failed recently with TWA
Flight 800, then one has to
question on what principles and
platform the evolving central
government operates. Can people
in an expanding capitalistic
environment, where opportunity
seemingly expands, at least for a
period of time, recognize the
erosion taking place to important
democratic platforms. In the new
world order, are elementary
democratic precepts inherently in
conflict with it? Is this
conflict evidenced by the Diana's
accident and death? We think so.
Conclusion: Focus on
the key issues and questions. Not only
will this pay homage to Diana above and
beyond her brother's funeral eulogy and
Elton John's song, but it will be
important for citizens of the world to
openly express that they will not be
victims of misinformation, as other
citizens were victimized by
misinformation during other times in
world history. History enforces the
proposition that when people fall as
victims of misinformation, it is usually
the platform to far worse abuses. In
America, a free open and aggressive press
was an essential platform to democracy.
It would be disappointing, in the time
where America assumes a sole super power
role, that we lose a main ingredient
which made America great. Again,
the original focus should have been on
testimony whether Diana would have
survived had she been taken to the
hospital immediately. Working backwards
from that original precept, it then
becomes clear that one has to know the
identity of those adjacent to the
Mercedes and very carefully scrutinize
the critical remarks of Brenda Wells. We
never tire of asking, where is she? Can
we hear what she has to say? Why not? We
tire of hearing about Henri Paul. We
await hearing what happened between the
time of the accident and the time of
Diana's death at the hospital. We await
hearing about Brenda Wells. Isn't what we
are asking equally if not far greater in
importance than Henri Paul's claimed
intoxication - which we have responded
to; but nothing which concerns us has
been addressed at all.
Update (October 7,
1997): Click here to go to the new Diana
- open questions and issues web page.
Updates will continue on this
web page. However, we open the new web
page to highlight unresolved questions
and issues.
Since our last update on
September 30, 1997, French investigators
have focused on the black Fiat Uno and
moved away from Henri Paul. Further, as
we expressed, world interest in Diana has
not abated a bit since the accident.
Update
( October 9, 1997): ABC News: Paris, Oct. 9.
"Investigators
probing the Paris crash in which
Princess Diana died have concluded a
second car was probably involved in
the accident, a police official said
today."
This must
have seemed a given to those visiting
our web pages. However, it doesn't
mean that the investigation is moving
toward finding the truth. In fact, in
this update, we want to show that the
investigation with the aid of major
media continues with misinformation.
Time Magazine (10.13.97
issue):
"Time
has put together an exclusive
account of what is known at this
point about the key questions
facing the French
magistrates."
Let's
start out by saying that the Time
article makes an important
concession in accord with our
September 14, 1997 Diana - Cause
of Death web page:
"Horrific
internal injuries may have doomed
the princess from the moment of
impact. But the amount of time
that elapsed between the accident
and her arrival at the hospital -
more than 1 ½ hours - could have
been a factor in sealing her
fate."
The
Time story also makes another
satellite concession, this time
toward our Diana - Cause of
Accident web page of September
20, 1997:
"
How could (Henri Paul) have
escaped the attention of the
people around him? Rees-Jones,
interrogated before his departure
for Britain this week, told
investigators that Paul seemed
'just fine' that night. The other
Fayed-family bodyguard on duty
that night, Alexander
("Kez") Wingfield, 32,
has also said Paul behaved
normally and did not smell of
alcohol even at close range. Both
bodyguards told investigators
that it would have been their
duty to prevent Paul from driving
had they had the slightest
suspicion that he was
drunk."
No doubt, especially true, since
it was a new experience to be
guarding both Dodi Fayed AND
Diana: they both would have been
especially alert.
While leaving the barn door open,
Time shows it allegiance by ending
its story:
"But when
the work of the investigators is
done-whatever the attendant
circumstances, whatever the role of
the paparazzi, whatever the truth
about the second car-they are likely
to determine that this was a road
accident caused by very familiar
villains: speed, alcohol and bad
judgment. An all-to-ordinary tragedy
for an uncommon princess."
Thus you can see
that Time is touting the official
line and failing to connect the dots
connected by these web pages.
Further, to bury an important witness
like Brenda Wells Time alludes to
"1,000 pages of testimony, much
of it contradictory." Moreover,
witnesses seem to arise to cause
contradiction, an act not only in
accord with misinformation, but also
in accord with the vast resources of
the putative players.
The Time
magazine story however reveals two skids
marks "...a 62 ft. long skid mark
that swerves from the right into the left
lane. A short distance beyond that is the
beginning of a 105-ft. long skid mark
that leads directly into the 13th
pillar. All of which tends to support the
theory of an initial collision followed
by a loss of control."
Not necessarily. Time itself says that a
Fiat Uno would have little impact against
a heavy powerful Mercedes. However, we
need the details regarding the skid
marks. Were they both confirmed from the
Mercedes? Are they in accord with
straight forward breaking or being pushed
to the side/loss of control braking? Are
they consistent with impact of only a
Fiat? What type of lateral force is shown
by the skid marks? These, among a host of
other important questions, would have
been concretely answered by Daimler-Benz.
The Time magazine rendition is simply for
public consumption and shows little
attention to the broader and more
compelling issues.
The ABC News account from above went
on to say: "
The white paint scratches were found
on the right front end of the
Mercedes, on the right rear-view
mirror that was ripped away and
several dozen yards away from where
the Mercedes came to a halt."
The Time
magazine analysis doesn't even touch upon
the white Mercedes. It took a lot of
effort for the French to admit to contact
with a black Fiat Uno and the simplistic
conclusion derivative from the contact
(that it was involved in the accident). Now, the
white paint couldn't have just been
discovered, and what's the meaning of a
white Mercedes seen shadowing the small
black (Fiat Uno) car immediately after
the accident: both cars, according to
lawyer and British law firm partner Gary
Hunter, suspiciously fleeing the scene? This is a lot more
relevant to truth than the
"pulsating" news accounts
saying the French are checking all
112,000 Fiat Unos registered in the Paris
area. Again, if the
passengers weren't implicated in foul
play, they would have filed suit already
against the Ritz hotel.doubtful that the
Moreover, if they are implicated in foul
play, it is car will ever be found and
moreover it is likely that both cars were
not registered locally.
Now, we come to an
intriguing segment of the Time magazine
analysis: "Hailed by passerbys
patrolling in the area, the first two
police officers reached the scene within
five minutes of the accident." Now,
according to Time, these police officers
said there were numerous people, mainly
photographers, shooting through the open
right rear door of the car. The
photographers were "virulent,
pushy" and wouldn't back off when
told to do so. According to Time
magazine: " Police and eyewitness
reports and even the accounts of some of
the photographers agree on this point:
the paparazzi were in a state of
excitement bordering on frenzy."
Now, why this may be
important is that you like we have
probably seen the routine televised
interviews of Frederic Maillez, off duty
emergency medical worker, our first
"doctor" on the scene. He made
it very clear that he battled through the
smoke of the accident to treat Diana,
whom he did not recognize, despite his
statement: "I stopped my car and
went to see. There were many people
around and lots of panic. (Guardian:
Reuters 09/02/97)." His male
companion in the car Mark Budt stated
while seated next to the doctor on CBS 48
Hours 09/11/97: "There were only a
few bystanders at first. Then a dozen
photographers appeared, snapping
away." It took until October 6th,
but by then on NBC Dateline Dr. Maillez
now supported the new position by saying;
"and almost nobody was (at first)
around the car
no more than 3-5
persons." While the 09/02/97
rendition is not consistent with Maillez
and Budt being there early on (before the
paparazzi), the second, which does make
them among the first there, makes it
difficult to accept the line that they
didn't know it was Diana until the next
morning when they read the paper. The
paparazzi according to reports when they
arrived were shouting: "It's
Diana." Dr. Maillez of course may be
hard of hearing and he may have assumed
that 10-15 photographers usually go into
a frenzy regarding a car accident on a
Saturday evening - thus, we are somewhat
suspicious of his position he didn't know
it was Diana.
The critical window is sixty seconds
after the accident. It does not appear
that they were there within the first two
minutes. Moreover, the "few
bystanders" who were first there are
critical and do the French have
statements from all including the
"fireman?" These are the
witnesses which may have seen an
intrusion into the Mercedes - and one or
more may be able to identify those in the
cars and motorcycles in issue.
Time
further relays that the first call to
emergency services was from a female
calling from a cell phone, not Dr.
Maillez, within the first minute of the
accident.
The media to now has pointed to Maillez
as making the first call to emergency
services. It was not Maillez - which
would be further consistent with his
original September 2nd
remarks.
According to Time: "Maillez said the
paparazzi had not hindered him in his
work. He left once the first emergency
firefighters' unit arrived at 12:32
a.m., about seven
minutes after the accident."
Finally, we have Time's account of the
injuries and the ambulance ride:
"With
her left pulmonary vein ripped, her
heart was pumping blood by the quart
into her chest cavity. That fact was
not apparent to the first witnesses
and medical workers on the scene.
What they found was an elegantly
coifed woman sitting on the floor of
the car with her legs up on the rear
seat, leaning against the back of the
front passenger seat."
Time
writes this as though Diana's hair
dresser found her in the car. We are
talking about emergency medical workers
who are trained to diagnose trauma
injuries. Time
should realize that Dr. Maillez went for
his medical bag and if she was
"pumping blood by the quart into her
chest cavity" at that time, her
blood pressure would have been critical.
So critical as to whisk her to the
hospital immediately, with Dr. Maillez
jumping up and down for swift action in
such regard. However, not only did he not
jump up and down, nor did he recognize
his patient, but, according to Time:
"Once
the emergency units arrived, it took
them 30-45 minutes to extract Diana
from the vehicle AND (emphasis ours)
stabilize her with intubation, oxygen
and treatment for shock. At 1:18 .am.
she was placed in an ambulance, At
the doctor's (we take it they are
referring to the ambulance doctor)
insistence, the ambulance proceeded
slowly so as not to aggravate the
injuries. Thus it took some 40
minutes to reach the
Pitie-Salpetriere hospital instead of
the usual 10 minutes. On arrival at
2:05 a.m., the princess was in
cardiac arrest."
Wow! How easy
it is to miss the real questions and
issues we have raised. First, Time has to
stay consistent with its own report. It
said that the first emergency unit
arrived at 12:32. Add 45 minutes and you
have their asserted 1:18 time for being
placed in an ambulance. However, if you
add the other side of their stated range,
30 minutes you have 1:03 a.m. Now, first
using their 1:18 a.m (in ambulance) time,
and their 2:05 hospital arrival time you
have 47 minutes in the ambulance. Tacking
on the other side of the range, you have
62 minutes, or best said one hour in the
ambulance. Moreover, from Dr. Maillez to
Time's own account, Diana faced no
impediment and there was no need to cut
the roof to remove her from the car. In
fact, Maillez companion Mark Budt said:
"
the portion of the car that
she was in, that quarter was basically
undamaged."
Time magazine obfuscates exactly how long
it took to extract Diana from the
Mercedes and how long Diana was worked
upon before entry into the the ambulance
(and where). We don't want to quibble
over what we think is a secondary matter,
so let's focus on our point of one hour
in the ambulance. If she had the injury
stated, her blood pressure would have
compelled an immediate delivery to the
hospital "around the corner."
Even assuming the ambulance doctor-whom
we are sure will be portrayed as
inept-still would have to have been
professionally insane to claim concern
over bumps etc. when transporting a
famous figure with a team of doctors,
specialists in trauma, awaiting her at
the hospital. Thus in our questions and
issues web page, the host of questions
regarding what the heck was happening
during the trip. Were those on the
ambulance team sitting around with a
level on Diana making sure the bumps on
the road were not disturbing a level
plane? If they were doing something, what
were they doing? The
entire dynamic of her death revolves
about the questions and issues web page
with the egregious mystery of the two
police motorcycles, the ambulance's
escort, losing the ambulance. It washes
just as well as Dr. Maillez stating he
didn't know it was Diana until reading
the paper the next morning. Further, simple
experience would support a contention
that if the doctor didn't recognize her,
he wouldn't admit it to avoid a lifetime
of behind the back whispering regarding
his lack of awareness and perception.
Would you want Dr. Maillez treating you
for trauma? If the truth emerges, there
may be several reasons uncovered why you
may not.
The air is foul. Just this evening U.S.
media raised the double issue whether
this is all worth the attention it is
getting and secondly raised issue whether
it was suspicious that Rees-Jones was
whisked away by a Fayed helicopter and
could we ever believe anything he has to
say since we have to assume that Dodi's
father as owner of the Ritz is going to
put pressure on him not to say anything
against his employer's interests. They
also announced that French prosecutors
were preparing charges against the Ritz.
This was a foul showing of media
manipulation. First, of all, it is
ludicrous for charges ever to be brought
under facts already established against
Mr. Fayed or the Ritz. He lost his son.
He expended untold resources to protect
him all his life. His hotel wouldn't
compromise this element, particularly
with the Princess of Wales with him. It
is shameful that the media could even
proffer a scenario of Mr. Fayed trying to
bend Rees-Jones to protect the Ritz
Hotel, when the truth of the matter to
anyone unbiased and with rudimentary
intelligence, would be that the elder
Fayed would give up the entire hotel for
the truth of why and how his son died.
You could get a taste of what the scene
would be today if Dodi Fayed lived with
Diana dying. The media can miss all the
critical questions and issues, but
simultaneously compound their bias and
manipulation by daring to point blame at
the Ritz and Mr. Fayed.
CONCLUSION: It
seems that Time magazine and the truth
would benefit from taking known facts to
experts, medical to mechanical to
accident experts, to ask them the meaning
and implication of them. We are certain
that the same questions and issues, and
the implications we have presented, would
ultimately be publicly raised by a
rudimentary media effort to have experts
rather than "anchormen" pursue
the issues. The French investigation has
moved away from Henri Paul to the Fiat
car. Here they must also emphasize white
Mercedes and two motorcycles with three
people on them. Otherwise, you will get
what one reporter quipped today "a
white Fiat." With
mounting pressure and tension from the
ineptness of the investigation to date,
the investigation should move to the
ambulance, where we contend it should
have started - if one is interested in
investigating the truth behind her death. We want to hear from
medical specialists of how unusual it is
for there to have been damage to her left
pulmonary vein; how obtuse and obscene
the one hour trip to the hospital - we
want to know Diana's blood pressure which
even to French standards should have been
monitored every ten minutes, if not
continuously. We want to know how many
people were on the ambulance, what they
did, what they heard, whom they called,
what they said, whether they gave Diana
blood transfusions. This one hour trip to
the hospital under the predicate of
avoiding bumps is so many standard
deviations off from basic professionalism
that it borders on concrete proof of foul
play as well. The
first person every journalist and
reporter spending time on this case
should be is hollering for is Brenda
Wells. Did she get lost among the
"1,000 pages of testimony?"
Brenda Wells if found, if not
compromised, if confirming her original
statements, is a key to unlock the door
to truth. Otherwise, if she cannot be
found, which speaks for itself, the key
to truth also lies in our opinion in the
one hour ambulance ride; in the questions
and issues raised by us regarding same on
our Diana - Questions and
Issues web page (click here).
Opponents to Truth Showing
First Signs of Desperation
Update
(October 13, 1997): Part I: As we noted on these web
pages some time ago, we look to the world
press to bring the important salient
issues regarding Diana's accident and
death to the world public. We cannot
pretend to even carry the weight of a
single established newspaper. We only
hope, via this medium at this point of
time in history, to carry our message to
influential minds who are in a position
to press the failure of the world media
to address the questions and issues
regarding Princess Diana. Among our world
readership, we will succeed if we reach
even one courageous journalist who will
press the questions and issues which need
to be raised, resolved and brought to
world attention. In this respect, perhaps
we may be showing first signs of success.
We were truly shocked
to read first thing this morning the
following headline with story which we
excerpt for you below:
DOCTOR SAYS
DIANA'S HEART "RIPPED OUT OF
PLACE."
NEW YORK (Reuters)
- The first physician at the
crash that killed Princess Diana said
her injuries were so massive that
even if the accident had happened in
front of a hospital emergency room
she could not have been saved,
according to Newsweek magazine.
Dr. Frederic
Mailliez, an emergency worker with
SOS Medecins, said she had suffered a
severe lesion to her pulmonary vein.
``Her heart had
been ripped out of its place in her
chest,'' Mailliez is quoted by Newsweek in the latest edition
available Monday. ``There was no
chance for her.''
Mailliez arrived at
the scene three minutes after
the accident occurred in a Paris
tunnel on Aug. 31 (all emphasis in
excerpt are ours).
What
can we say but that the entire story
looks like a defense to our last update.
First, notice that the story contains the
first recitation that Mailliez was there
three minutes after the accident, as
though it is an admission and
acknowledgment that he has given
conflicting accounts as to when he did
first appear. To counter the position
that the ambulance ride is the gateway to
evidence of foul play, the story asserts
almost a direct retort to our last
update, via our questionable first to
appear doctor, that she was in essence
dead from the first due to the nature of
her ultimately determined injury and
physical condition.
You must understand
that this posture is the only one to
circle around the questions and issues we
have raised. However, it shows
desperation, because it conflicts with
the many accounts of Diana status at the
time, even that from Dr. Mailliez. If
Diana's heart was beating, as it must
have been for her to move around (some
accounts) and talk (some accounts), then
it was incumbent to bring her to the
trauma hospital as quickly as possible.
Even Newsweek appeared to register its
opinion regarding Dr. Mailliez, the
Reuters news story ending with:
Paparazzi
photographs developed by French
investigators show Diana with her
eyes open apparently conscious and
unhurt, with no sign of blood,
according to Newsweek
The
above is consistent with a Diana with a
beating heart and an accident victim -
from the dynamics of the crash and the
death of two of the occupants - who
needed immediate hospitalization and
monitoring. Dr.
Mailliez's new position, proffered
more than thirty days after the accident,
is tantamount to saying: "Diana was
dead from the minute I saw her." He
never said it, and moreover his accounts
to date have been contradictory to his
new assertion and position. As we
responded to one E-mail communication
received from a professional
knowledgeable in emergency procedures:
once Diana was placed in the ambulance it
was incumbent to get her the hospital as
quickly as possible. Period. No other
argument or assertion is possible
especially one which proffered that the
ambulance drove slowly as to "avoid
bumps" on the road. Yes, that was
what original news reports communicated.
Further, to reply to Dr. Mailliez whom we
are suspicious about: why was a team of
25 medical specialist with the Interior
Minister for the country and the police
chief for Paris awaiting her arrival?
Lastly, if Dr. Mailliez prized
interpretation is based on the ultimate
condition of Diana, one has to understand
that they opened her up and crudely moved
to massage her heart since she entered
cardiac arrest on arrival at the hospital
(after the one hour ambulance ride
there). All attempts to circle around
answers to our open questions and issues
regarding her ambulance ride is more
circumstantial proof of foul play.
CONCLUSION: The only
conclusion is that the opponents of truth
are desperate for Mailliez to come out
with this position today: after the
dainty doctor's recent world wide
appearances and assertions to date were
not much more than that he comforted the
accident victim, whom he did not know or
recognize, and then turned her over to
emergency medical crews (leaving upon
their arrival). Further, evidence of
pressure and desperation is seen from a
report from England attesting that Dr. John
Burton, Coroner of the Queen's Household, expressed his frustration at
having no authority to call witnesses
from abroad and said he would have to
rely on a report from French police about
August's death crash. He branded it a
'ludicrous situation.'"
The PA news story further said: "
The Coroner who is expected to hold an
inquest into the death of Diana, Princess
of Wales, has told of his limited powers
to gather evidence about the precise
circumstances of the tragedy." We are sure that if the Queen
requested, the French authorities would
be more cooperative. We doubt the Queen
will request such cooperation. The
opponents to truth may represent the most
powerful among us, but our hope from the
first, is that the collective
consciousness of billions throughout the
world involving themselves in Diana's
death, do possess an interest and mandate
for truth. We received E-mail from
England acknowledging that there was no
real press coverage of the French
investigation ("As a UK citizen, and
one of many who question the poverty of
the coverage of this tragic episode by
our press and media
."). As we said long
ago, the evidence of foul play at the
highest levels was from our
interpretation that the world media was
being held back from aggressive
investigation and reporting. We will
close down the site the day the world
media carries the ball, a ball which is
theirs to carry to assure true democratic
world dynamics.
Update October 13, 1997 part
II
Perhaps it is time we
address an issue we wanted to avoid until
there was more coverage from world
media.. However, it seems very few people
know about it, and it connects with our
Dr. Frederic Mailliez. Moreover, it
may connect with the obtusely long
ambulance ride.
On
September 19, 1997 Agence France-Presse
reported a story which ordinarily would
capture the world press and attention. It
did not.
WASHINGTON, Sept 19
(AFP) - Princess Diana, who died in a
car crash in Paris, may have been
six-weeks pregnant at the time of the
accident, Time magazine said in its
latest issue.
Time Reported that
an emergency-service doctor told
the magazine that an associate at the
scene said Diana was drifting in and
out of consciousness, and at one
point saying she was six-weeks
pregnant while making a rubbing
gesture on her belly.
The very same story
further stated:
Frederic Mailliez,
an off-duty doctor at the scene who
had originally said Diana moaned, and
gestured, now refuses to say how she
looked or what she said, Time said.
'This is the kind
of situation that creates myth,' Time
cited Mailliez as saying. If she told
him anything, Mailliez added, "I
would say it only to her family, her
sons, her husband."
Consequently,
we proffer yet a third gateway to truth.
Time Magazine would never have printed
this story if it didn't have it confirmed
by reliable sources.
The third gateway is the reporter and his
sources. If this was a situation of
high level foul-play, and if Diana was
pregnant, then we can pretty much surmise
what happened on the ambulance: the
removal of all evidence of it. The fact that the world press
didn't jump on this story, and the world
press closes its eyes (under orders from
upstairs no doubt) to it and the entire
inept French investigation, and that it
connects in some way to our Dr. Frederic
Mailliez, neatly ties in to all the other
mysteries encountered in our analysis of
the accident and death of Diana. In
finding this story today (we had heard
about it before however), we further came
across Dr. Mailliez's interview on CBS This Morning
on September 5, 1997.
We excerpt:
DIAZ-BALART: With
the volunteer firemen working on the
injured bodyguard right inside of
this tunnel, Mailliez says he was
able to focus his attention on an
unconscious Princess Diana. He say he
lifted her head and helped her
breathe by using an oxygen mask. How
long were you working on Princess
Diana?
DR. MAILLIEZ: I
guess it was something like 20
minutes, no more than half an hour.
DIAZ-BAILART:
Mailliez says more than 10
photographers were in the immediate
vicinity as he treated the princess.
Did any photographer at any time push
you away, move you to the side, not
let you do your work?
DR. MAILLIEZ: Never,
Never. As soon as I introduced myself
as a doctor, they let me have the
access to the car and to the victims.
You can see that the
quality of Dr. Mailliez'a accounts have
changed in accord with the quality of his
dress. In our respectful opinion, Dr.
Frederic Mailliez has been compromised.
The following is from
the respected Los Angeles Times
(September 6, 1997):
The initial
diagnosis was "not
catastrophic," a rescue official
remembered: head trauma, multiple
fractures to a shoulder and thigh.
The princess also had regained at
least a state of semiconsciousness,
said afew words and seemed confused
and agitated.
Her most grievous
wounds were hidden: She was bleeding
massively from internal injuries. SAMU
workers realized that when they tried
to take Diana's blood pressure and
got an alarmingly feeble reading. The princess was rushed
to La Pitie-Salpetriere hospital, one
of the French capital's largest,
about four miles away on the Left
Bank.
It was now five
minutes past 2 a.m., and doctors at
LaPitie-Salpetriere were aghast.
Diana, they found, was suffering from
massive chest injuries and bleeding. She went
into cardiac arrest soon after
arrival.
Surgeons began a battle to save her
life.
Blood--more than 20
pints, by one count--was transfused
into her. Doctors also decided to cut
her open, baring a hole in her left
pulmonary vein. The tear in the vital
blood vessel was mended. For two
hours, Diana's unresponsive heart,
which had stopped beating on its own
due to massive blood loss in her
chest, was given urgent outside
stimulation, by electric shock and
doctors' massaging hands.
CONCLUSION: There are
some things very apparent. The truth is
being hidden and suppressed. Without
question, Diana's heart was beating and
blood pressure readings supported her
being taken to the hospital IMMEDIATELY,
where she very well may have been saved.
For some reason, her ambulance ride to
the hospital was delayed. The only
logical predicate now for a long
ambulance ride is one connective to foul
play, the very same
type of foul play we believe Brenda Wells
witnessed inadvertently in being where
she was that night. Brenda Wells is
missing. Is Brenda Wells another victim? We have no account as to what
transpired during the one hour ambulance
ride. We have Time magazine reporting at
one time Diana six-weeks pregnant, with
obviously reliable sources thereto. We
see all the news concerning this has been
suppressed and redirected; we see no
aggressiveness whatsoever by the world
media relating to the French
investigation and to the open issues and
questions; we see unfettered attempts at
misinformation and to derail intelligent
thought and reporting regarding Diana's
accident and death. Return the Elton John
tribute song. There can be
no tribute to Diana if the world public
stands silent as the truth behind her
accident and death gets buried along side
of her.
Update
(October 14,1997): It seems difficult going a day
without an update. The reason therefor is
that the pubic is witnessing surprise
after surprise in the Diana story: their
curiosity and suspicions have been
aroused (from the "concessions"
in Time and Newsweek stories). The result
is that the spin masters were back out
big time today. Tonight's television had
more unofficial royal spokesmen telling
Americans that Britons have put it all
behind them, Brits realizing it was
simply a matter of speed, a drunk, and a
car. The spin masters were so obvious in
their agenda that it was pathetic - it
seemed difficult for them to keep a
straight face at times. They also were
out because they had to cover the
disclosure that 120,000 messages from the
public paying last respects to Diana were
shredded. The spin masters shouted that
the royals didn't even know about it -
