Princess Diana Murder Cover-Up Turns Deadly

by Jeffrey Steinberg

Nearly three years after the Paris car crash that claimed the lives of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed, the cover-up of that tragedy has taken a deadly turn, prompting some experts to recall the pileup of corpses that followed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Over the course of four years, after President Kennedy was shot on Nov. 22, 1963, at least 37 eyewitnesses and other sources of evidence about the crime, including one member of the infamous Warren Commission, which oversaw the cover-up, died under mysterious circumstances.

On May 5, 2000, police in the south of France found a badly burned body inside the wreckage of a car, deep in the woods near Nantes. The body was so charred that it took police nearly a month before DNA tests confirmed that the dead man was Jean-Paul "James" Andanson, a 54-year-old millionaire photographer, who was among the paparazzi stalking Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed during the week before their deaths.

From the day of the fatal crash in the Place de l'Alma tunnel, that killed Diana, Dodi, and driver Henri Paul, and severely injured bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, Andanson had been at the center of the controversy.

Mohamed Al-Fayed, the father of Dodi Fayed, and the owner of Harrods Department Store in London and the Paris Ritz Hotel, has labelled the Aug. 31, 1997 crash a murder, ordered by the British royal family, and most likely executed through agents and assets of the British secret intelligence service MI6--with collusion from French officials, whose cooperation in the cover-up would have been essential.

At least seven eyewitnesses to the crash said that they saw a white Fiat Uno and a motorcycle speed out of the tunnel, seconds after the crash. Forensic tests have confirmed that a white Fiat Uno collided with the Mercedes carrying Diana and Dodi, and that this collision was a significant factor in the crash. Several eyewitnesses told police that they saw a powerful flash of light just seconds before the Mercedes swerved out of control and crashed into the 13th pillar of the Alma tunnel. That bright light--either a camera flash or a far more powerful flash of a laser weapon--was probably fired by the passenger on the back of the speeding motorcycle. Both the motorcycle and the white Fiat fled the crash scene, and police claim they have been unable to locate either vehicle, or identify the drivers or the passengers.

Andanson's White Fiat

Andanson had been in and around Sardinia during the last week of August 1997, as Diana and Dodi vacationed in the Mediterranean. He joined several dozen other paparazzi, who were stalking the couple's every move. He was back in France on Aug. 30, the day that Diana and Dodi flew to Paris. And that is where the facts about Andanson's activities and whereabouts get very fuzzy.

For reasons that he never revealed, sometime before dawn on Aug. 31, 1997, less than six hours after the crash in the Alma tunnel, Andanson boarded a flight at Orly Airport near Paris, bound for Corsica. Andanson claimed that he was not in Paris earlier in the evening, when the crash occurred, but he never produced any evidence, save a receipt for the purchase of gasoline elsewhere in France (which he could have doctored or obtained from another person), to prove he was not in the city.

His son James and his daughter Kimberly told police that they thought their father was grape-harvesting in the Bordeaux region. Andanson's wife Elizabeth claimed that she had been at home with her husband all night, at their country home, Le Manoir de la Bergerie, in Cher, until he abruptly left for Orly, at 3:45 a.m., to catch the crack-of-dawn flight to Corsica.

Pressed on her version of the story, Mrs. Anderson later admitted to reporters and police that her husband was constantly on the run, and she could have been mistaken about the night in question. She told The Express, a British newspaper, "It was always very difficult to recall James's precise movements because he was always coming and going. The family was very used to that and so never paid a great deal of attention to the times he came and went."

What makes Andanson's precise itinerary the night of the fatal crash so vital is this: He owned and drove a white Fiat Uno. The car was repainted shortly after the Aug. 31, 1997 Alma tunnel crash, and was sold by Andanson in October 1997. And, although the official report of the French authorities investigating the crash concluded that Andanson's car was not involved in the crash, French forensic reports made available to The Express told a very different story.

One report in the files of Judge Hervé Stephan, the chief investigating magistrate in the Diana-Dodi crash probe, described the tests on Andanson's Fiat: "The comparative analysis of the infrared spectra characterizing the vehicle's original paint, reference Bianco 210, and the trace on the side-view mirror of the Mercedes shows that their absorption bands are identical." In laymen's terms, the paint scratches from the Fiat found on the side-view mirror of the Mercedes were identical to the paint samples taken from the matching spot on Andanson's Fiat.

The report continued: "The comparative analysis between the infrared spectra characterizing the black polymer taken from the vehicle's fender, and the trace taken from the door of the Mercedes, show that their absorption bands are identical."

In short, despite the French investigators' endorsement of Andanson's alibi, the forensic tests strongly suggested that his car may have been the white Fiat Uno involved in the fatal crash.

John Macnamara, the Harrods director of security, and a retired senior Scotland Yard supervisor of investigations, told reporters: "Mr. Andanson had for some time been a prime suspect who had relentlessly pursued Diana and Dodi prior to their arrival in Paris. We have always believed that Andanson was at the scene and that more investigation should have been done into his possible involvement."

Macnamara added, "We believe that his death is no coincidence and that this is a line of inquiry which may help to discover the truth. Was Mr. Andanson killed because of what he knew? That is a question we want answered."

The `Suicide' Soap Opera

Needless to say, Andanson's death stirred up renewed interest in Diana's death at a most inopportune time for the British royals, and those in France who abetted the cover-up. Sometime in September, an appellate court in Paris will rule on Al-Fayed's motion to order Judge Stephan to reopen the crash probe, based on the fact that Stephan shut down his probe before certain vital avenues of inquiry were fully explored, and in contradiction to his own interim report, which cited several glaring paradoxes in the evidence that remained unresolved at the point that he abruptly closed down his investigation last year and blamed the crash on driver Henri Paul.

For example, U.S. intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, have all acknowledged, in response to Freedom of Information Act queries, that they have thousands of pages of documents on Princess Diana. Those documents, for the most part, remain under lock and key. In addition to those documents and other relevant evidence, it has been recently exposed that a secret U.S.-U.K. joint surveillance program, code-named "Project Echelon," had apparently been involved in round-the-clock monitoring of Princess Diana's telephone conversations, while she was at home in England and travelling around the globe.

Until the contents of these U.S. government files and electronic intercepts have been reviewed by French investigators, Al-Fayed's lawyers have argued, the probe cannot be considered complete. And the U.S. Justice Department continues to stonewall on indicting three Americans who were involved in an attempted $20 million extortion of Al-Fayed in April 1998, centered around purported "CIA documents" proving that British intelligence assassinated Diana and Dodi. While the "CIA documents" seized from one of the plotters have been confirmed to have been clever forgeries, questions remain about the accuracy of the content of the documents.

In a flagrant effort to dampen interest in the Andanson factor, the June 11 Mail on Sunday, a pro-royalist tabloid, ran a story proclaiming "Wife's Affair Led to Paparazzi Man's Car Blaze Suicide." The Mail on Sunday dutifully peddled the French government's cover story: "The millionaire photographer who trailed Diana, Princess of Wales in St. Tropez just days before her death, committed suicide when he discovered his wife was cheating on him, French police have revealed. . . . The eccentric millionaire--who was hailed by colleagues as one of the godfathers of paparazzi photography, and who flew a Union Flag over his house to show his love of Britain--was facing a family crisis at the time of his death."

Mail on Sunday reporter Ian Sparks quoted an unnamed colleague of Andanson's at the Sipa Agency in Paris, making the preposterously contradictory claim that Andanson "was desperate to save his marriage. We would never have guessed he would do something so terrible." He committed suicide to save his marriage! Right.

A French police spokesman told Sparks, "He took his own life by dousing himself and the car with petrol and then setting light to it."

Andanson's widow Elizabeth, and their son James have rejected the idea that Andanson's death was suicide. Sources close to the family told EIR that they have pressed French officials to conduct a murder investigation into Andanson's death 400-miles from his home. The sources dismiss the bogus "marital problems" story and additionally report that Andanson was in high spirits over his new job with the Sipa Agency.

The Plot Thickens

Just after midnight on June 16, just one week after Andanson's death was first made public, three masked men armed with handguns, broke into the Sipa office in Paris, shooting a security guard in the foot. The three assailants dismantled all of the security cameras in the office, and proceeded to enter several specific offices, clearly aware of exactly what they were looking for. They made off with several cameras, laptop computers, and computer hard drives.

Sipa's office employs more than 200 people, and operates 24-hours a day. The three invaders spent three hours in the office, holding other employees hostage. According to one of the hostages, the men were never concerned about the French police arriving at the scene. This hostage was convinced that the three "burglars" were themselves working for some branch of the French Secret Service. Furthermore, the source confirmed that Andanson had worked for French and, undoubtedly, British security agencies.

The owner of Sipa, Sipa Hioglou, has worked closely with French intelligence, and, not surprisingly, has been one of the primary sources of the "marital problems/suicide" cover story about Andanson's death, "confessing" to French police and reporters that Andanson had confided in him that he planned to take his own life. Hioglou, in the days following the bizarre break-in and hostage siege of his office, also told police that he suspected that the raid was done on behalf of a disgruntled celebrity who was angry that her picture had been taken by a Sipa paparazzo without her permission.

In stark contrast, other Sipa employees have told the police that the idea that Andanson committed suicide was preposterous, and that they suspect that the break-in was related to his death.

What Is Going On?

The Sipa raid, the obvious work of French Secret Service assets, raises some very troubling questions. If Macnamara and Al-Fayed are right, and Andanson was at the crash site on Aug. 31, 1997, and his white Fiat was the car that collided with the Mercedes, what documentation exists of his presence at the tunnel? What photographs exist of the crash scene, and what do they reveal? Was some of this material seized from the Sipa offices in the recent break-in, to assure that it never sees the light of day?

Evidence has recently come to light, that within hours of the crash, British and French secret service agencies carried out a series of similar break-ins at the homes and offices of several photo-agency personnel, in a desperate search for photos of the crash site that may have been transmitted in the hours immediately after the Alma tunnel collision, and before word of Princess Diana's death was made public.

EIR has obtained copies of sworn statements from two London-based photographers, Darryn Paul Lyons and Lionel Cherruault, which reveal that British intelligence was hyperactive in the hours immediately after the Alma tunnel crash, desperately seeking any revealing photographs that might have been spirited out of Paris.

Lyons identified himself as the "Chairman of `Big Pictures,' . . . an international photographic agency in London, New York, and Sydney, specializing in obtaining and selling unique and exclusive celebrity-based photographs." At 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 31, 1997, Lyons received a phone call from a Paris paparazzo, Lorent Sola, who said that he had a dozen photographs of the accident at the Alma tunnel. Sola offered to electronically transmit the photos to Lyons immediately, and Lyons rushed off to his office, receiving the high-resolution photographs at approximately 3 a.m. Lyons immediately began negotiating with several large news organizations in the United States and Britain to sell the pictures for $250,000.

Lyons and Sola conferred after word of Diana's death was made public, and they decided to withdraw the offer of the pictures. Copies of the photos were placed in Lyons' office safe.

Sometime between 11 p.m. on Aug. 31 and 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 1, the electricity at Lyons' office was mysteriously cut, although no other power outages in the office building or the neighborhood occurred. Lyons, convinced that either the office was being robbed, or bombed, called the police. In his sworn statement, Lyons declared that he believed that secret service agents had broken into his office and either searched the premises or planted surveillance and listening devices.

Lionel Cherruault, a London-based photo journalist for Sipa Agency, in his sworn statement, reported that, at 1:45 a.m. on Aug. 31, 1997, he received a call at his home from a freelance photographer in Florida, informing him that he was expecting to soon be in possession of photographs of the tunnel crash. Cherruault told the Florida contact that he was interested. After word of Diana's death was announced, the deal fell through.

But Cherruault, who was in contact with his boss at Sipa, stated that, at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 1, while he and his wife and daughter were asleep, his home was broken into, his wife's car was stolen, and his car was moved. Computer disks used for transmitting photographs, and other electronic equipment, were stolen, and the front door of their home was left wide open. Even though cash, credit cards, and jewelry were visible in the study where the burglars stole the computer equipment, none of those valuables were taken, making it clear that this was not an ordinary break-in. The next day, a police officer came to Cherruault's home and confirmed that the break-in was clearly the work of "Special Branch, MI5, MI6, call it what you like, this was no ordinary burglary." The officer said that the home had "been targetted." The man, whose name Cherruault was unable to recall, assured him "not to worry, your lives were not in danger," according to the sworn statement.

The official police report of the Cherruault break-in, which has been reviewed by EIR, confirmed that "The computer equipment stolen contained a huge library of royal photographs and appears to have been the main target for the perpetrators."

Another Thread of the Cover-Up

One of the other still-unresolved issues in the Alma crash probe, three years after the fact, revolves around the medical evidence. Al-Fayed has been battling in court in Britain for the right to participate in the official inquest into the death of Princess Diana, arguing that since both Diana and Dodi died in the crash, therefore he should be entitled to officially participate in both inquests. The courts have preliminarily ruled that he has the right to contest the Royal Coroner's rejection of his participation in the Diana inquest, which will only occur after the French appellate process has been completed, sometime later this year.

However, in April of this year, the attorneys representing Al-Fayed received a copy of a suppressed memorandum, prepared by Professors Dominique Lecomte and Andre Lienhart, two French forensic pathologists working for Judge Stephan, suggesting that British authorities, including the Royal Coroner, Dr. Burton, had interceded to conceal some aspects of the official British autopsy. The two French doctors were in London on June 23, 1998, where they met with British coroners Drs. Burton and Burgess, forensic pathologist Dr. Chapman, and Scotland Yard Superintendant Jeffrey Rees. They were given copies of the English autopsy report on Princess Diana, but, according to their contemporaneous notes on the meeting, were told that the document was provided for their "private and personal use," and that it should not be included in the formal file of Judge Stephan.

Any material in that official investigative file was automatically made available to attorneys representing all the interested parties in the French probe, including Al-Fayed's attorneys.

This two-and-a-half year suppression of the Lecomte-Lienhart memorandum has once again raised serious questions about the legitimacy of the "official" autopsy of the Princess of Wales, including questions that arose at the time of her death, as to whether she was pregnant.

The mayhem surrounding the deaths of Diana and Dodi, and now Andanson, raises questions about the circumstances in Paris on that night in late August 1997--questions that the House of Windsor in general, and Prince Philip in particular, have long sought to suppress. The time may be fast approaching that the well-orchestrated three-year cover-up is about to blow apart, and at least part of the truth about the death of the "People's Princess" see the light of day.

And that is something that the Windsors and the mandarins of MI6 may not be able to survive.

New `Diana Wars' in Britain
Put Focus on LaRouche

by Jeffrey Steinberg
On June 4, the London Daily Telegraph, the flagship publication of the British monarchy and the Club of the Isles' Hollinger Corp., published a crass slander against Lyndon LaRouche, headlined "U.S. Cult Is Source of Theories." The article charged that LaRouche, EIR, and the New Federalist newspaper were all behind a "Diana conspiracy industry," and that LaRouche, in league with London-based billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, was "accusing the Queen of ordering the assassination of Diana, Princess of Wales."

Apart from the fact that the article was pure fiction, there were two significant things about the story--which accompanied a much longer article that trashed a British Independent Television (ITV) documentary, entitled "Diana: The Secrets Behind the Crash," which had aired the previous night, and which had been followed by a live televised debate on the Princess's death:

First, the Daily Telegraph smear was authored by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, an avowed British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) stringer, who spent from late 1992 through the spring of 1997 in Washington, D.C. orchestrating a similar slander campaign against President Bill Clinton. Allowing Evans-Pritchard's by-line to appear on the "icebox" slander of LaRouche was a blunder of strategic significance, which underscored the truth behind LaRouche's charge that all of President Clinton's enemies, including in the upper echelons of the British oligarchy, are also enemies of LaRouche.

The blunder also underscored the fact that there is a "battle royal" under way within the British ruling class, which goes far beyond the issue of the death of Princess Diana. The battle touches on matters of global geopolitics, and how the British oligarchy intends to survive the worst, systemic financial breakdown crisis in modern history.

The "Torygraph" slander also marked a decisive break in the Club of the Isles' policy of keeping LaRouche's name out of print in Britain. It has been long-recognized by the City of London-centered financier oligarchical grouping headed by the Royal Consort, Prince Philip, that LaRouche and EIRhave been a powerful factor in exposing their dirty machinations worldwide, and have also been an important contributing factor in an eruption of political warfare against the Windsors, even from among the British elites.

The LaRouche role in the Windsors' troubles came to the surface in 1994, when EIR published "The Coming Fall of the House of Windsor," a Special Report exposing the role of Prince Philip and his World Wildlife Fund (WWF, now the World Wide Fund for Nature), in triggering the worst genocide in modern history in the Great Lakes region of Africa. Even as EIR's exposés of the Windsors circulated throughout the world diplomatic community and among factions of the British establishment, with rare exceptions, the name "LaRouche" was banned from the British press.[FIGURE 1]

All that changed, beginning with the June 4 Evans-Pritchard diatribe. The article not only accused LaRouche and EIR of heading the "conspiracy industry," and of accusing "the Queen of being the world's foremost drug dealer." But also, it linked LaRouche to Mohamed Al Fayed, Harrods department store owner and the father of the late Dodi Fayed, in a campaign, Evans-Pritchard wrote, "aimed at discrediting Tiny Rowland, Mr. Al Fayed's longtime business rival, ... according to Francesca Pollard, a former operative for the Fayed security machine." As EIR revealed in its 1993 unauthorized biography of Rowland, Pollard, whose family was robbed of its fortune by Rowland, was threatened and then paid off by Rowland, to be a source of trash against Al Fayed. Following the Aug. 31, 1997 car crash in Paris that claimed the life of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul, Rowland was deployed by the British royal family to lead a slander and harassment campaign aimed at silencing Mohamed Al Fayed, who has stated publicly that he is "99.9% certain" that Diana and Dodi were the victims of a murder plot.

Battle of the Documentaries

The trigger for the slanders against LaRouche was the airing of the ITV documentary on the evening of June 3, followed by a live TV debate, which featured this author. The ITV documentary provided dramatic new evidence supporting the case that Diana and Dodi were murdered (see "New Holes in Cover-Up of Diana Murder Plot," EIR, June 12, 1998), and highlighted several investigative leads that were first published in EIR, including the possibility that driver Paul was blinded by an anti-personnel laser.

During the live TV round-table debate, this author discussed Princess Diana's decade-long war with the House of Windsor, including the impact of her November 1995 BBC Panorama interview, in which she charged that her estranged husband, Prince Charles, was unfit to be King; and, the reaction of the establishment to her actions, which amounted to a collective shriek, "Off with her head!" Rowland's personal involvement in the campaign to cover up the truth about the Paris crash, and to destroy Mohamed Al Fayed, was also aired, much to the chagrin of the producer and host of a Channel 4 "Dispatches" documentary on the Diana death that aired the following night. Channel 4 tried to dismiss as fantasy every piece of evidence refuting the "drunk driver" theory.[FIGURE 2]

The Channel 4 "Dispatches" program included a slander of this author and EIR that was even more explicit on the question of Prince Philip. Although this author was interviewed on camera for more than two hours by Channel 4 host Martyn Gregory, less than one minute of that interview was shown on the hour-long "Dispatches" diatribe. And, that brief segment waxed hysterical about EIR's refusal to "rule out" the possibility that Prince Philip ordered the murder of Diana and Dodi. Indeed, British press accounts of the relationship between Prince Philip and Lady Diana, particularly during the brief period of her relationship with Dodi Fayed, revealed that the Royal Consort was in a constant blind rage over Diana's public disdain for the Windsors, and particularly her implicit challenge to their legitimacy on the British throne.

Gregory was given several pages in the Sunday Telegraph on June 7, to continue denouncing LaRouche, EIR, and Al Fayed. In an article regurgitating the "Dispatches" disinformation, Gregory wrote: "The numerous hares Mohamed Fayed has set running in the colours of sundry conspiracy theories are typified by Geoffrey [sic] Steinberg, chief reporter of Executive Intelligence Review, a small-circulation American magazine that specializes in conspiracy theories. He was yet another guest on the side of the motley crew supporting ITV's Wednesday night programme.

"This is the man who told Dispatches he `could not rule out the possibility' that Prince Philip was involved in the `murder of Diana.' We decided not to take Steinberg seriously at all."

Defending `Mr. Big'

Not so for MI5, another British intelligence agency. On June 10, Francis Wheen, a writer for MI5's favorite leak sheet, the political satire magazinePrivate Eye, penned another anti-LaRouche diatribe, in the London Guardian. Wheen, who had published smears against LaRouche in 1996, fixated on EIR's targetting of Prince Philip, whom Wheen affectionately referred to as "Mr. Big." "Many weird characters enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame during last week's flurry of TV programmes about Princess Diana," Wheen began, "but none was weirder than Jeffrey Steinberg, who appeared on Wednesday night's `studio debate' and again on Channel 4's Dispatches the next evening. There was, he admitted, `no smoking-gun proof' that Prince Philip ordered British intelligence to assassinate the Princess; nevertheless, `I can't rule it out in all honesty.' "

Wheen complained, "So who is he? For some reason, viewers were not informed that the grand-sounding Executive Intelligence Review is in fact the weekly propaganda magazine of Lyndon H. LaRouche." Wheen almost got it right, when he noted, "Executive Intelligence Review has supported Al Fayed in his vendetta against Tiny Rowland and Lonrho; and when Michael Howard refused Al Fayed's application for British citizenship, LaRouche published a defamatory article about the family connection between Howard and Harold Landy, the former chairman of a Lonrho subsidiary." Wheen then digressed into the ID-format slander that was perfected by the mid-1980s dirty tricks slander salon, run by Wall Street Anglophile spook banker John Train, as part of the "Get LaRouche" task force of the U.S. Justice Department and private agencies that framed up and railroaded LaRouche to prison. Wheen recited the litany of smears: LaRouche says "the Queen runs an international cocaine smuggling cartel," that "Henry Kissinger is a communist agent," and, interestingly, that "the Italian banker Roberto Calvi was murdered by the Duke of Kent." (Calvi was himself a member of the extended royal family.)

International terrorism

Wheen then touched on another sore spot of the House of Windsor and Club of the Isles: the British hand in sponsoring and harboring international terrorism. He tried to twist EIR's exposé of London's role in safe-housing dozens of major terrorist organizations, a fact the U.S. State Department and the CIA have acknowledged in written documents. "In recent years," Wheen wrote, "LaRouche and Steinberg have been pursuing another `unique' theory--that `international terrorism' is masterminded by none other than Lord [William] Rees-Mogg and the Daily Telegraph reporter Ambrose Evans-Pritchard.... LaRouche claims [that] Rees-Mogg and Evans-Pritchard are part of a `powerful London-centerd apparatus that declared war on the United States immediately after the inauguration of President Clinton.' Whitewater, Troopergate, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky--all these scandals can be traced back to our double-barreled desperadoes.... But Rees-Mogg and Evans-Pritchard are merely servants of the `powerful London-centered apparatus.' The Mr. Big whose orders they obey is Prince Philip.... The intention, according to LaRouche, is to discredit, and destabilise the U.S. until it is forced to become a British colony once again, thus taking the House of Windsor another giant stride on its road to world domination."

Wheen continued, "Only one person in Britain was powerful enough to thwart the conspiracy--Princess Diana, who had `declared war' on the royal family in her Panorama interview. And so she had to be killed."

Wheen ended on a curious, slightly ominous, note: "This alliance between Al Fayed and Lyndon LaRouche seems risky, to say the least. Why should a prominent public figure aid and abet such an unscrupulous fantasy-merchant? If LaRouche doesn't wish to sully his reputation, he must disown Al Fayed forthwith," Wheen wrote.

A half-dozen other slanders followed the Guardian article, in the Scotsman, on BBC-4 Radio, and even in the Danish press. One factor that clearly got the royals' blood boiling was that, according to the major British TV rating service, 12.5 million Britons watched the ITV documentary, and most of them also watched the studio debate that followed the evening news. On June 4, German national television aired the entire ITV broadcast, and major German dailies published lengthy excerpts from the transcript. In contrast, fewer than 3 million British viewers watched the Channel 4 smear the following evening. And, a Mirror newspaper poll, published on June 7, suggested that an overwhelming majority of Britons are convinced that there was more to the death of Diana than a traffic accident.

The Strategic Battle

As EIR has said from day one, the death of Princess Diana is the scandal that could hasten the fall of the House of Windsor. But, the future of the Club of the Isles oligarchy hangs in the balance today in a number of ways. The probe in Paris of Diana's death, if it turns up compelling evidence of a murder, or even of aggravated manslaughter caused by a paparazzi mob notorious for its links to British intelligence and the Crown apparatus, would certainly bring down both the Windsors and the current Socialist government in France, which also is deeply implicated in the crash and the cover-up.

On other fronts, the British establishment is torn over how to deal with the onrush of the financial collapse. Prince Philip and his circle have no compunctions about throwing the world into decades of chaos and genocide, in order to retain oligarchical control. But other, less insane forces within the City of London financial elite are apparently asking, "What do we get out of such chaos and destruction?" and may be seeking a new political alliance, perhaps with the United States, and sane forces on the continent who are opposed to the suicidal Maastricht Treaty.

Other issues that are causing divisions among the British elites include Britain's stance on the European Monetary Union, and the euro single curency. Furthermore, factions on the continent that share Prince Philip's impulse to play "chaos warfare," may be pressing for a new assault on the Asian currencies, including the Japanese yen, through the major continental banks and their offshore hedge funds, even though such a move at this moment would almost certainly trigger a global financial explosion with unpredictable consequences.

Within the extended European oligarchy, which has, for decades, been under the boot of Prince Philip's Club of the Isles, there is intensive in-fighting and factional warfare, adding further to the crisis atmosphere spreading across Eurasia. The common point of agreement among the "chaos" factions within the British and continental oligarchies, is that the power of the United States, as the pillar of the nation-state system, must be destroyed in the immediate period ahead, lest LaRouche's ideas for a nation-state-centered New Bretton Woods solution to the present global mess, be adopted, along with LaRouche's vision for a Eurasian Land-Bridge plan of global economic reconstructed.

New holes in cover-up of
Diana murder plot

Shortly after midnight, on Aug. 30-31, 1997, David Laurent, an off-duty senior French police official, was driving alone in his car on the right bank of the Seine River, heading toward the Place de l'Alma tunnel where, moments later, Diana Princess of Wales, her companion Dodi Fayed, and driver Henri Paul would die in a car crash. As he drove, Laurent was passed by a speeding white Fiat Uno, according to accounts he provided nine months ago to French Criminal Brigade police probing the Diana crash. As he approached the tunnel, Laurent noticed that the Fiat Uno that had sped by him, was now crawling along in the right traffic lane, almost at a standstill, just before the tunnel entrance.

Although the behavior of the Fiat driver was a bit bizarre, Laurent drove on. It was, after all, Saturday night on the final weekend of the summer, and there were a lot of strange goings-on on the streets of Paris. Less than a moment later, however, Laurent heard a loud explosion from inside the tunnel, as he was driving a short distance ahead.

It was not until the next morning that Laurent realized that the explosion he had heard from inside the tunnel was the crash that claimed the lives of Diana and her companions. And it was not until several weeks later that police forensic tests confirmed that the crash had been caused by a collision between the Mercedes 280-S carrying Diana, Fayed, Paul, and bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, the sole survivor of the crash, and a Fiat Uno. Within hours of the crash, police at the scene had gathered up evidence--a side mirror and fragments of a tail light--suggesting that a two-car collision had occurred. A police sketch, drawn at the crash site, labeled a section of the tunnel the "collision zone." Several witnesses, interviewed during the first week after the crash, had described a small hatchback car, cutting in front of the Mercedes at the tunnel entrance, jamming its breaks inside the tunnel, fleeing the crash scene, and so on.

But, until Laurent's critical piece of the story became public in early June, the role of the Fiat had remained ambiguous--despite the fact that the car and its driver have disappeared. Was the missing Fiat tragically in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was it critical to the most spectacular vehicular homicide in history?

Laurent's description of the Fiat, speeding to a spot near the tunnel entrance, less than a minute ahead of Diana's car, which was under chase from several other cars and motorcycles, strongly suggests the latter possibility.

For reasons yet unexplained, Laurent's crucial eyewitness account was withheld from the chief investigating magistrate, Hervé Stephan, for months.

Tampering with evidence

This is not the first time that the French police in charge of the investigation have tampered with evidence. Within hours of the crash, French police had told reporters that the Mercedes carrying Diana had been travelling at speeds of more than 120 miles per hour. How did they know? They told reporters that the speedometer of the mangled Mercedes had been frozen at more than 120 mph. EIR investigators determined that the French "leak" had to be a lie. Daimler Benz safety experts had told EIR reporters that, in any crash, the speedometer immediately goes back to zero. Two weeks later, the French police "corrected" the error; but this time, the media scarcely reported the correction. Similarly, French police had lied to reporters that Diana had been pinned in the rear compartment of the Mercedes, and saying that this was why it took so long to get her into an ambulance and to a hospital. Photographic evidence and eyewitness accounts later proved that it, too, was a premeditated lie by the French police.

In the case of the Laurent testimony, sources tell EIR that the police have claimed that they have withheld certain vital evidence from Magistrate Stephan, to avoid the information falling into the hands of the attorneys for the paparazzi. The police allegedly claimed that their investigation "would be jeopardized" if the paparazzi were to learn crucial details.

The Laurent revelation, which was leaked to the London Daily Mirror on June 4 by a well-placed French police source, was not the only new piece of evidence to emerge in early June. On June 3, the British independent television network ITV aired a one-hour investigative report, "Diana: The Secrets Behind the Crash," that seriously discredits French police claims that driver Henri Paul was drunk at the time of the crash.

Carbon monoxide found in Paul's blood

The assertion that Paul was drunk and high on two prescription drugs is pivotal to the ongoing effort, by the French government and the British establishment, to cast the crash as nothing more than a case of reckless, drunk driving. The claim that Paul had blood alcohol levels three times the legal limit at the time of the crash, was based solely on tests conducted by French coroners within hours of the crash. Independent forensic experts, including Dr. Peter Vanesis of the University of Glasgow, who reviewed the autopsy report, had harsh criticisms of the post mortem on numerous technical grounds.

The ITV report revealed that the forensic tests also showed a near-lethal level of carbon monoxide as well. EIR has independently learned that it was a separate toxicological test on Paul's blood sample, that revealed a carbon monoxide level of more than 30% at the time of the crash.

Yet, Dodi Fayed had no carbon monoxide in his blood. Is it possible that Paul could have had high levels of alcohol, traces of two prescription drugs, and toxic levels of carbon monoxide in his blood at the moment of the crash, and yet Fayed had no carbon monoxide present? Not if the carbon monoxide was inside the passenger cabin of the Mercedes.

Furthermore, if Paul had been somehow poisoned with carbon monoxide sometime prior to getting behind the wheel of the Mercedes, experts interviewed by ITV say he would have shown obvious signs, such as dizziness, loss of balance, loss of depth perception, and an unbearable, throbbing pain in his temple. Security camera video footage of Paul, taken in the lobby of the Ritz Hotel between 9 p.m. and midnight, and aired in the ITV documentary, clearly showed that Paul had none of the tell-tale signs of being drunk or suffering from the effects of carbon monoxide.

In a live television interview, aired one hour after the ITV broadcast, the documentary's host, Nicholas Owen, stated that he believed that the blood sample used in the post mortem was probably not taken from Paul. There were a dozen other corpses in the Paris city morgue at the time that Paul was brought in. This startling conclusion by Owen, adds further weight to EIR's charge that the French police--as distinct from chief investigating Magistrate Stephan--have been running a vicious cover-up of the events surrounding the crash.

The ITV documentary also cited several eyewitness accounts that a powerful burst of light inside the tunnel, seconds before the crash, may have blinded Paul. Owen showed a commercially produced anti-personnel laser, that he purchased in a Paris shop for $300, to buttress the possibility that such a device was used in the vehicular attack.

EIR Counterintelligence Director Jeffrey Steinberg appeared along with Owen and a half-dozen other investigators and expert analysts on the nationally televised interview show. Details of that broadcast and the vortex of media controversy, sparked by the ITV show and a second documentary, aired on June 4 on Channel Four TV in Britain, will appear in a forthcoming EIR (see also, the Editorial in this issue).

In a move that promises to raise even more questions about what happened in the Paris tunnel on Aug. 31, 1997, Magistrate Stephan convened an extraordinary group interrogation, or "confrontation," on June 5, at the Justice Ministry in Paris. Mohamed Al Fayed, Dodi's father and a civil party to the case, was invited to participate, as were a dozen eyewitnesses to the crash. The nine paparazzi who stand to be prosecuted for manslaughter and interference in the rescue effort, were also interrogated by Stephan. Details of what took place are not yet available.

EIR Reveals How Diana Murder Cover-up Has Turned Deadly

une 30, 2000 (EIRNS)--The July 7, 2000 issue ofExecutive 
Intelligence Review
 features a detailed report on the mysterious death of French paparazzo James Andanson, one of the pivotal figures in the Aug. 31, 1997 fatal car crash in Paris, that claimed the lives of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed, and Henri Paul. Andanson's body was found in a desolate forest in the south of France, burned beyond recognition, on May 5, 2000.
A week after his bizarre death, which French authorities have attempted to label a "suicide," three armed, masked men broke into the Paris offices of the Sipa Agency, the photography agency where Andanson was working at the time of his death, and stole computer disks, laptops, and cameras. The three men were believed to be agents of the French secret service, hunting for possibly incriminating photographs of the crash site that Andanson may have been hiding
he EIR story details the fact that Andanson, who owned a white Fiat Uno at the time of the 1997 crash, was a prime suspect in the Diana and Dodi wrongful deaths, yet French investigators accepted his alibi that he was not in Paris at the time of the crash. Tests of the paint and bumper scratches on his Fiat matched those on the side of the Mercedes carrying Diana and Dodi, according to forensic reports contained in the files of chief investigating magistrate, Herve Stephan. EIR also uncovered other break-ins and surpression of crucial evidence by both British and French intelligence services.
Nearly three years after the fatal crash, the true circumstances are still being covered up, and the EIRstory breaks new ground in exposing that cover-up. This story is "must" reading for anyone who has been attempting to get to the bottom of the Diana-Dodi deaths. As one specialist told EIR, "The death of Andanson may very well signal a new, deadly turn in the cover-up of the death of Princess Diana. It is reminiscent of the pile of corpses that littered the landscape following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, when scores of individuals with knowledge about the President's death, died under mysterious circumstances."

So here's a possible scenario: Diana was (possibly) pregnant by Dodi. The US/British power elite either knew this (perhaps her doctor's office was bugged) or were afraid it might be true. The prospect of someone of Arab descent (and perhaps a Muslim too) being in line to the British throne was anathema to the racist British establishment, and the Americans were concerned about what they saw as Diana's populist political activities (campaigning for an abolition of land mines and so on, with maybe the international arms trade targetted next) so the decision was made to eliminate her. The Mercedes in which she was supposed to leave the Ritz Hotel with Dodi failed to start (as intended by the plotters) and a replacement was produced. The brakes on the replacement car had been sabotaged. Henri Paul, their driver, sped off, followed by paparazzi, one of whom was in contact by phone with the driver of a white Fiat. The Fiat entered the Pont d'Alma Tunnel as Diana's car approached it. Somewhere in the tunnel, with the white Fiat just in front of the Mercedes, a powerful flashgun, aimed at Paul's car, was set off. This blinded Paul, and he hit the brakes, which did not work properly, ensuring that the car would crash. But the crash did not kill Diana. Much to the chagrin of the plotters, she was still alive. An ambulance (previously arranged by the plotters) was brought up and took her away, allegedly taking her to the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, 4 miles away. During this trip (which may or may not have involved an abortion) something was done to ensure that Diana would be dead on arrival at the hospital, or would die shortly afterward. The potential problem was thus removed.




Diana Assassination Conspiracy:Ex-MI6 Agent Raided
by DAILY EXPRESS


A raid on the home of a former British spy was sensationally linked to the Princess Diana inquiry last night.French secret servicemen and police stormed a property owned by renegade MI6 agent Richard Tomlinson.They arrested the 42-year-old ex-spy before seizing computer files and personal papers from his home in Cannes on the French Riviera.Tomlinson’s career put him in a position to give compelling insights into the thinking of Britain’s spymasters about Diana in the years before her death. His position at the heart of the spy network gave him a unique view into what lay behind the Paris crash which killed the Princess, her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed and driv er Henri Paul in August 1997.Tomlinson’s yacht, which was moored near his flat, was also "turned upside down," according to those involved in the raid last week.The former secret service agent, who has spent time in prison for writing about his spying experiences, is understood to have twice met team members of the Lord Stevens inquiry into the death of Diana and assisted them.He is believed to have given them vital evidence about Henri Paul’s links with MI6, for whom the driver was a paid agent.Last night a source told the Daily Express: "The French security services carried out this raid on Tomlinson on the instructions of MI6."Tomlinson has not committed any offence under French law and this shows that MI6 and the French security services are joined at the hip – just as they were on the night of Diana’s death."The Daily Express has learned that moves have been made to give Tomlinson immunity so that he can give evidence at any future inquest. Having already been jailed for breaking the Official Secrets Act, he does not want to risk a second jail term."His testament could be crucial," said a source close to the inquiry. This is one of the reasons that the authorities picked him up. There is a feeling that, if Tomlinson agreed to give evidence, there would be all kinds of trouble."The fact that his home and boat have now been raided isvery suspicious. It is certainly true that the authorities in France and Britain will stop at nothing to prevent Tomlinson from giving evidence."The raid in France was executed by agents of the DST, or Directorate for Territorial Surveillance, the French equivalent of MI5. They were supported by police officers.It was authorised by local judge Anne Vella. No search or international arrest warrants were shown to Tomlinson. The French authorities would not disclose any information about what was taken or why.Last night it was not clear whether British agents had been involved in the raid. But the source said: "It is a distinct possibility. They will certainly be made aware of anything that was found."It is understood that Tomlinson previously volunteered his assistance and met officers from Operation Paget, the Diana inquiry led by former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Stevens.On one occasion he suggested that a laser gun may have been used to blind Paul, so ensuring that he drove his Mercedes into the wall of the Alma underpass in Paris.He revealed that the "blinding flash" in the tunnel bore all the hallmarks of a secret service plot. The light described by witnesses was too powerful to be mistaken for a photographer’s flashgun.The laser gun technique is standard training for MI6 officers and is so powerful it can bring down a helicopter by blinding the pilot.Tomlinson said: "When I heard witnesses in Paris talk about a bright flash before Diana’s car crash it made sense. A tunnel is a perfect place for an assassination, with fewer witnesses."Tomlinson has also confessed that, when he was an agent, he saw an MI6 file on a paid informant based at the Paris Ritz hotel. It was widely assumed at the time that this was Paul, who was deputy head of security at the luxury hotel where Diana and Dodi ate their last meal before being driven to their deaths.When he died, Paul had more than £2,000 in French francs on his person. This cash was thought to have been given to him as payment for his work as an informer. He also had £200,000 stashed away in 14 different bank accounts.Tomlinson served 12 months for breaching the Official Secrets Act after pleading guilty in 1997 to passing on his inside story of MI6 to an Australian publisher.He has been involved in a cat-and-mouse chase with his former employers ever since he was released from prison in 1997.After being released following the raid on his property, he said: "Twelve police were outside my home. They took every bit of computer equipment, all my phones, my e-mails, all my personal files, my Psion organiser with my bank account details. It is a complete and utter catastrophe."Tomlinson said the British authorities are extremely keen to see all his files and documents, including both his passports. He has duel British and New Zealand nationality.Tomlinson, who has set up an internet site with the provocative title Tomlinson Vs MI6, has posted an aerial photograph of the MI6 training centre at Fort Monckton in Hampshire.He wrote: "This is where new recruits undertake their IONEC (six-month training course). It is also where pre-posting, refresher training takes place as well courses for liaison officers from ot

her friendly intelligence services."MI6 is particularly worried that Tomlinson may name those involved in any plot around the death of Princess Diana.Dodi’s father, Ritz and Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, is convinced that Diana was murdered by the British security services.They were said to be acting on Royal Family fears that Diana was about to have a baby with Dodi, who was a Muslim.

Princess Diana: Did Prince Philip Order Her Death?
 by URI DOWBENKO

According to the UK Sun, Mohamed Fayed, the father of Dodi Fayed, Princess Diana's friend and lover, said that a frightened Princess Diana had been threatened by Prince Philip weeks before she died in a fatal "car accident" with his son Dodi, Diana's friend and lover.Fayed said: "Diana told me personally during a holiday in the South of France, 'If anything happens to me, make sure those people are exposed. The person who is spearheading these threats is Prince Philip'."This threat corresponds to the letter received by Diana's butler Paul Burrell, in which Diana predicted her own death by "car accident." She wrote "(Name Blacked Out)is planning a 'car accident' in my car."In a sworn deposition, former MI6 Agent Richard Tomlinson states that he was shown documents by MI6 officer Dr Nicholas Bernard Frank Fishwick,the MI6 officer who at the time was in charge of planning Balkan operations, which "on closer inspection turned out to be an outline plan to assassinate the Serbian leader President Slobodan Milosevic." Tomlinson noted this "information that could be useful in establishing the causes of death of Henri Paul, the Princess of Wales, and Dodi Al Fayed," suggesting "that Milosevic could be assassinated by causing his personal limousine to crash." "Dr Fishwick proposed to arrange the crash in a tunnel, because the proximity of concrete close to the road would ensure that the crash would be sufficiently violent to cause death or serious injury, and would also reduce the possibility that there might be independent, casual witnesses," said Tomlinson. "Dr Fishwick suggested that one way to cause the crash might be to disorientate the chauffeur using a strobe flash gun, a device which is occasionally deployed by special forces to, for example, disorientate helicopter pilots or terrorists, and about which MI6 officers are briefed about during their training," Tomlinson continued. "In short, this scenario bore remarkable similarities to the circumstances and witness accounts of the crash that killed the Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed, and Henri Paul." Prince Philip is ordinarily considered a buffoon for his many bizarre statements and sundry gaffes, including his most notorious anti-human remark, reported by Deutsche Press Agentur (DPA),in August, 1988, "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation." In his disdain and scorn for humans, HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, wrote in his preface to "Down to Earth," that genocide is certainly not out of the question as a means of "population control." "I don't claim to have any special interest in natural history," he wrote, "but as a boy I was made aware of the annual fluctuations in the number of game animals and the need to adjust the 'cull' to the size of the surplus population." Was Diana then an "inconvenient woman" after her divorce from Prince Charles? After all she had fulfilled her function as a breeder, invigorating the degenerate House of Windsor with new blood. And consorting with a "wog"? That must have been the final straw.In the end, Princess Diana's murder was most likely rationalized as nothing less than an affair of State security.Princess Diana just had to die.***

Did MI6 & MI5 Orchestrate Princess Diana's Death?
by BRIAN DESBOROUGH

The sudden death of a loved one invariably creates a state of shock and profound loss among close relatives of the deceased. Occasionally, the unexpected death of a revered public figure creates a similar response within a large segment of the general public. Such was the case when the international news media announced that the Princess of Wales had died from injuries incurred during a car crash in Paris on August 31st, 1997, that killed the driver Henri Paul, her playboy friend Dodi Al Fayed, and seriously injured Fayed's bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones.Diana's tragic death not only resulted in a massive outpouring of public sympathy, it also left in its wake several anomalies which strongly suggest that her death was not an accident. The majority of these anomalies were adequately covered by author David Icke in his book entitled "The Biggest Secret" and need not be repeated in depth in this article. The major anomalies may be summarized thus: A Mercedes limo, escorted by a Range Rover, transported Diana and Dodi from Le Bourget airport to the Villa Windsor, which had been leased from the French government by Dodi's father, then drove to the Al Fayed owned Ritz Hotel. That evening, the couple was driven to Dodi's apartment, where they dressed for dinner, and returned to the Ritz. Dodi's personal chauffeur Philippe Dourneau, drove the limo on both trips. On the latter trip, Dourneau took the shortest route between the Ritz and the apartment. In a purported effort to elude paparazzi, the couple left the hotel by a rear exit shortly after midnight in a Mercedes S280 limo, en route for Dodi's apartment. The vehicle was much lighter than the previous limo (a Mercedes 600) thus rendering it much more vulnerable than the earlier used limo in the event of a crash, and was driven by Henri Paul, the acting Head of Security at the Ritz. Why was Paul, who had left for the night, recalled to drive the vehicle instead of a professional chauffeur? Unlike Dourneau, Henri Paul wasn't licensed to drive either limo.Instead of taking the shortest route to Dodi's apartment, Paul took a circuitous route in a direction away from the apartment. Why?Three paparazzi later claimed that Paul departed the Ritz at a high speed. This claim was contradicted by footage from the hotel's security cameras showing the Mercedes leaving at a normal speed, with Paul driving in a responsible manner.According to the police, Henri Paul's blood alcohol level was very high, yet the Ritz security cameras revealed that Paul arrived at the hotel shortly after 10:00 pm and displayed no erratic behavior while parking his car, nor later in the hotel. Upon arrival at the hotel, Paul was in regular contact with Al Fayed bodyguards Trevor Rees-Jones and "Kes" Wingfield. Neither of them observed any evidence suggesting that Henri Paul was intoxicated.Oxygen purportedly was administered at the crash site to the injured Diana by Dr. Frederick Mailliez, who later made contradictory statements concerning the event.Investigative Judge Hervé Stephan attributed the crash to Henri Paul's drunkenness, yet failed to interview key witnesses such as bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones or persons claiming to have observed a collision between the Mercedes and a white Fiat Uno. A spokesperson at the British Embassy in Paris claimed that the embassy staff was unaware that Princess Diana was in the city, a claim refuted by the fact that two very senior members of MI6 were at the embassy on the same day of her arrival.A Convenient ScapegoatThe numerous anomalies surrounding the crash and the eagerness by both the investigative authorities and the news media to solely blame the hapless Henri Paul for the incident strongly suggest the occurrence of a massive cover-up. The news media claimed that Paul had been battling alcoholism for at least a year, yet his autopsy revealed that his liver was normal for a person of his age. According to Henri Paul's friends, he wasn't a heavy drinker and led a quiet life. Moreover, he had successfully passed a medical exam necessary for renewal of his pilot's license only a few days prior to his death. An accomplished musician and lover of classical music, he had a passion for flying light aircraft.A possible explanation for the high alcohol content is that his blood sample may not have been refrigerated in a timely manner, thus allowing decomposition of the blood (there is no published record of the time or temperature of the body at the time of storage). It was claimed that the blood sample also contained a carbon monoxide level of 20.7%, which would have been even higher prior to death. Such an abnormally high and near lethal percentage would have resulted in nausea, confusion, a violent headache and difficulty in walking, yet the Ritz security cameras showed Paul with none of these symptoms while still at the hotel.According to Commander Mules, the head of the Paris Criminal Brigade which had responsibility for investigating the crash, carbon monoxide was inhaled when the driver's airbag inflated upon impact. This was impossible since the Mercedes Benz Company has publicly asserted that their airbags do not contain carbon monoxide releasing chemicals. In addition, it is customary for French firefighters to wear carbon monoxide detectors, yet none of the firefighters at the crash scene reported detection of the deadly gas. Henri Paul's death was virtually instantaneous upon impact, primarily caused, according to the French autopsy report, by a ruptured aorta. This injury would have prevented carbon monoxide from being circulated throughout the body. Very significantly, Dodi's father was refused permission by French authorities to have an independent blood and DNA analysis conducted. In all probability, what really happened is that the blood sample had been taken from a person who had consumed a large quantity of alcohol prior to committing suicide by attaching a hose to the exhaust pipe of a vehicle.Eyewitness Accounts IgnoredThe flagrant manner in which the French authorities have elected to ignore statements made by various French, British and Americans who were eyewitnesses to the circumstances surrounding the fatal crash in the Alma tunnel, also their refusal to release samples of Henri Paul's blood for analysis by independent pathologists, strongly suggests that the tragic death of Princess Diana was premeditated murder. Even Diana herself feared that she would be the target of an assassination orchestrated by security forces on behalf of the Windsors. A year prior to her death, Diana wrote: "This particular phase of my life is the most dangerous. My husband is planning 'an accident' in my car ... in order to make the path clear for him to marry."Diana's fear of assassination becomes plausible if we consider a brief overview of her childhood and her tumultuous relationship with the Windsors. One can imagine the trauma and sense of insecurity engendered in ten year old Diana as she watched her mother storm out of the house (and out of a loveless marriage to Earl Spencer) without bothering to say goodbye to her children.Teddy Bears and DiapersSadly, Prince Charles also suffered an unhappy childhood, which probably was accentuated after being packed off to his father's old school Gordonstoun, in Scotland - a school noted for its Spartan living conditions. Gordonstoun's headmaster was Kurt Hahn, the founder of the Hitler Youth Movement. It would appear that the dispassionate upbringing of Windsor males tends to create emotionally crippled adults, as evidenced by the pleasure derived by King Edward VIII in being pushed around at parties in a baby carriage, clad only in a diaper. Perhaps it also explains why a threadbare teddy bear invariably accompanies the adult Prince Charles on his travels and also his enduring love for the much older Camilla Shand, even after she had married the Queen Mother's godson Andrew Parker Bowles.As far as the senior Windsors were concerned, it was mandatory that male heirs to the throne marry non catholic blue blooded virgins. This eliminated Camilla from contention since she was considered used goods. She subsequently married Andrew Parker Bowles, who reluctantly had terminated a tempestuous affair with Princess Anne in 1972 because he was a Catholic. Charles dutifully offered his hand in marriage to the twenty five year old Anna Wallace in 1977. Anna angrily severed the relationship after being publicly humiliated by Charles, who repeatedly danced with Camilla Parker Bowles - now the mother of a young son, at a ball given by Lord Vesey. Ignoring the advice of the British Foreign Office, Charles was accompanied by Camilla at the Zimbabwe independence celebration, thereby providing fodder for the press. Still obligated to marry and produce an heir to the throne, a chance encounter brought Lady Diana Spencer to the attention of Charles at a weekend house party. This was like manna from heaven for the Windsors, for Diana was a blue eyed blond teen aged virgin who hailed from an eminently acceptable blue blooded family. A marriage to Diana also was acceptable to the prince, presumably because he assumed that this shy and naïve teenager was too timid to challenge his adulterous relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles. How wrong he was!InfidelityCharles wooed Diana like a hunter pursuing his prey. "He was all over me like a rash" was how Diana later described their first meeting. The love starved ingenuous teenager was understandably swept off her feet by the prince. Their first meeting was soon followed by a cruise on the royal yacht Britannia to the Cowes regatta, followed by a stay in Scotland at the Queen's favorite residence, Balmoral Castle, where Diana met with the approval of the royal family as a suitable candidate for marriage to Charles. Numerous weekends with Prince Charles spent at the residence of the Parker Bowles's followed, which must have made Diana suspicious of Charles' fidelity, especially after he purchased Highgrove, a mansion only a few miles from the home of his mistress.1Any suspicions Diana had concerning her suitor's romantic relationship with Camilla became confirmed on November 16th, 1980, when the Sunday Mirror, a British tabloid, reported that Diana and the prince had spent the night together on the royal train, on which Charles had traveled while performing a civic function in Wiltshire. This was a monumental error on the part of the tabloid, for the blonde women observed entering the train that night wasn't Diana, who was home in the apartment which she shared with others, watching television.A Satanic RitualDespite her realization that the blonde haired woman who had been with Charles on the train that night must have been Camilla, Diana accepted the prince's marriage proposal the following February, probably in the hope that Charles would eventually tire of his mistress. As soon as the formal announcement of the royal engagement had been made, Diana was shipped off to stay at Clarence House, the London residence of the Queen Mother, where she allegedly was forced to participate in an Illuminati ritual known as The Awakening of the Bride. This is a satanic ritual reserved for young women who are to marry into the highest echelons of the Illuminati. If this terrifying ritual actually occurred, it would have caused Diana to fear the Windsors for the remainder of her life. I have spoken at length with a nephew of the Aga Khan about Diana and the Windors. He told me that in addition to having been a guest of the Queen, he had also spent three weeks as the house guest of Diana after her divorce from Charles. He said that she summed up her opinion of the Windsors with the words "they're evil." 2 During their engagement, Charles became increasingly aloof, according to Diana's various biographers, spending more time with Camilla Parker Bowles than with his fiancée. Because of the failing romance, Diana decided to call off the wedding but relented after discussing the matter with her father, who undoubtedly wanted to see a Spencer become Queen. Two days before the wedding, the Windsors held a ball attended by eight hundred guests, including Diana's arch enemy Camilla. According to Charles's former valet, the princess returned to Clarence House after the ball and Charles retired to his suite in Buckingham Palace for the night, accompanied by Camilla.The stormy marriage of Diana and Charles began to unravel during their honeymoon aboard the Britannia, when Diana discovered photos of Camilla which had fallen from Charles' diary. The unhappy princess did, however, fulfill her royal duty by producing two sons, "an heir and a spare," as Diana later termed them. It was shortly after the birth of Diana's second son Prince Harry, that Princess Anne, tired of her failed marriage to Mark Phillips, rekindled her romance with Camilla's cuckolded husband Andrew Parker Bowles. Meanwhile, a besotted Charles continued his adultery with Camilla. Thus was initiated the bizarre situation in which the royal brother and sister were engaged in adulterous relationships with a husband and wife!Hell Hath no Fury like a Woman ScornedAfter Charles' continued infidelity caused a disillusioned Diana's initial love for him to develop into hatred, she exacted revenge upon the Windsors by upstaging both Prince Charles and the Queen at public appearances, much to the chagrin and envy of the Windsors. In a short period of time, her public appearances became a major public attraction to the press and adoring populace alike. Diana had undergone a metamorphosis from shy young women into a shining star in an otherwise dysfunctional Windsor firmament.Despite her ability to create a media feeding frenzy whenever she appeared in public, Diana was a very lonely and insecure person, resulting in bouts of bulimia. Needing a shoulder to cry on, she developed a very close relationship with her bodyguard, a thirty seven year old Royal Protection Squad Sergeant named Barry Mannakee, although there is no evidence that they were romantically linked. Charles had Mannakee transferred to the Diplomatic Protection Corps after overhearing the bodyguard offering Diana advice regarding Charles' infidelity with Camilla. After his transfer, Mannakee was killed in a collision with a car while a pillion passenger on a motorcycle. According to Major James Hewitt, with whom Diana later had an affair, Diana told him that she was convinced that Mannakee's death was an assassination orchestrated by the Windsor staff and British Intelligence because he knew too much about the affair between Charles and Camilla. Hewitt claims that he similarly was ordered to terminate his relationship with Diana or he would receive the same fate as Barry Mannakee. 3It was on December 9th, 1992, that British Prime Minister John Major publicly announced that Diana and Charles had decided upon a marital separation. Charles continued his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles and Diana pursued further romantic relationships, a trend which began after she had abandoned all hope of ever winning her husband's love. In order to deliver a coup de grace to the Windsors and Camilla, the princess arranged to be interviewed for the BBC television program Panorama, which air-ed in late 1996. A tearful Diana told her viewers that "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." She struck a further blow by stating that she doubted whether her estranged husband was fit to be a future monarch. The program had the effect desired by Diana, resulting in public opinion of Charles and Camilla reaching an all time low. Throughout her marriage, Diana failed to realize that Charles considered it his royal prerogative to have mistresses - a centuries old tradition for European monarchs and a trait which Charles clearly relished. Diana's father should have warned her of this trend at the commencement of her courtship.The Royal DivorceIt was self-evident to the Queen that Diana was wreaking havoc upon the public image of the Royals. After consultations with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Prime Minister, the Queen ordered Diana and Charles to divorce. Diana received a divorce settlement amounting to seventeen million pounds, but was stunned to learn that she was to be deprived of the "Her Royal Highness" title. This mean act on the part of the Royals possibly contributed to her death. Had she been permitted to retain her HRH title, the government of any nation in which she was traveling would have been obligated to provide her with a VIP full police escort. Diana first met Dodi Al Fayed in July, 1997, only a few weeks before her death. They first set eyes on each other aboard the luxurious yacht Jonikal, which had just arrived at Cannes with Diana and her two sons aboard. The yacht was owned by Dodi's father Mohammed. Mohamed Al Fayed later stated that Dodi had planned to celebrate Bastille Day in Paris with his girlfriend, the American model Kelly Fisher, but changed his plans after his father had requested that he join them to be an escort for Diana.Some journalists have implied that Mohamed Al Fayed had a hidden agenda to marry his son off to Diana in order to ingratiate himself with the Windsors, who detested him because of his political influence. Had the couple married, any sons that Diana bore would have been half-brothers to Prince William, heir to the British throne. Mohamed Al Fayed had been a friend of Diana's father, the late Lord Spencer and had known Diana for several years. This would have given him ample opportunity to match make anytime after Diana's divorce, had he the inclination. In actuality, it was Diana who invited herself and her sons for a holiday with the Al Fayed family, in all probability because she knew that being with the Al Fayeds would intensely annoy the Windsors. Diana and Dodi soon became inseparable, both on the yacht and later in Paris and London. The couple left London on August 21st, to join the Jonikal for a cruise on the Côte d'Azur. Photos taken by the paparazzi swarming around the sleek yacht revealed a radiant Diana very much in love with Dodi. Dodi's PersonalityWhat sort of a person was Dodi? A few months after the tragic demise of the lovers, I had lunch with a person who had been a member of Dodi's staff for almost a decade. I learned that although Dodi was a playboy who loved beautiful women and fast cars, he displayed no macho traits; rather he was a gentle and caring laid back man - just the sort of man the lonely and insecure Diana would fall for.An event occurred during the cruise which we will return to later in this narrative, since it may help to explain what happened on the night the couple died. The yacht dropped anchor off Cap Ferrat and the lovers went sightseeing in Monaco. While ashore, they gave their bodyguards the slip and went to the Repossi jewelry store in the Hermitage Hotel, where Dodi purchased an engagement ring, leaving instructions for it to be forwarded to the Repossi store in Paris for collection the following week. Although the couple obviously wanted time alone, evading their bodyguards was a very dangerous thing to do, considering Diana's fear of assassination. In addition to being the heir to his father's immense fortune, Dodi himself had great wealth, possessing numerous homes, yachts, cars, a helicopter and a Gulfstream IV executive jet, thus making him a possible kidnapping target (his father invariably traveled with eight bodyguards).Saturday, August 30th, 1997, was the fateful day when Diana and Dodi left the Al Fayed yacht which was anchored off the Sardinian coast, and flew to Paris, arriving at Le Bourget airport Saturday afternoon. The couple intended to collect the engagement ring from the jewelers, and return to London the following day. The lovers were greeted at the airport by Henri Paul. Even though Diana no longer had royal status, a fleet of police cars and motorcycle outriders provided by the French diplomatic protection squad (the SPHP) were also in attendance in order to escort the couple to the Ritz hotel. Because of Diana's fear of assassination by security forces, the couple decided to place their safety solely in the hands of Al Fayed bodyguards and Dodi waved away the police escort. This was a fatal mistake, for the SPHP personnel are highly trained police professionals. Had they been permitted to provide protection during the visit to Paris, assassins and the very aggressive French paparazzi would have been kept at bay.After making the aforementioned drive to the Villa Windsor, Diana went to the Ritz's hairdressing salon while Dodi visited Repossi's to collect the emerald and diamond engagement ring. Dodi had already told his step-uncle Hussein Yassin, who was at the Ritz for the weekend, that he and Diana were planning to marry. After returning to the hotel, Dodi also telephoned the news to Hussein's niece Joumana.Dinner at the RitzThe couple left the Ritz at seven o'clock for the drive to Dodi's apartment in order to dress for dinner, with bodyguards Kez Wingfield and Trevor Rees-Jones following in Dodi's Land Rover - a clear security risk if the two vehicles had become separated. Arriving at the apartment, a very frightened Diana was jostled by an overly aggressive crowd of paparazzi. It was evident that the planned dinner at the Chez Benoit restaurant was out of the question because of the paparazzi's reckless behavior, so the couple returned to the Ritz, where they had to force their way through another frenzied crowd of paparazzi and had dinner in their sumptuous suite. Security cameras revealed several men in the crowd outside the Ritz who had loitered in the vicinity for much of the day. Former Scotland Yard Chief Superintendent John McNamara, who later was appointed by Mohamed Al Fayed to head an investigation into the crash which ended the lives of the star crossed lovers, identified these loiterers as members of British and foreign intelligence agencies.Henri Paul returned to the Ritz shortly after 10 p.m. after an absence of three hours and was asked to meet Dodi in his suite for further instructions. After the meeting with Henri Paul, Dodi notified the hotel night manager Thierry Rocher, that the couple planned to return to Dodi's apartment for the night and instructed the night manager to arrange for a limo to be brought to the rear exit of the Ritz shortly after midnight. He explained that Henri Paul would drive them to the apartment and that the two limos used earlier in the day were to remain parked out front as decoys.No BodyguardsHenri Paul contacted bodyguards Trevor Rees-Jones and Kez Wingfield who were waiting for further instructions and told the astounded pair that he would be driving Diana and Dodi back to the apartment without bodyguards. An incredulous and angry Rees-Jones made it abundantly clear that he couldn't tolerate such a dangerous violation of security procedure. Dodi came out of his suite at that moment and confirmed Paul's comments that bodyguards were not necessary for the short trip. Rees-Jones remained firm and Dodi relented, agreeing that Rees-Jones could accompany them, but refused to permit a back-up vehicle to follow. Wingfield later claimed that he then tried to reason with Dodi, pointing out that security would be improved through the use of a back-up vehicle. Dodi remained intransigent, stating that his father had approved the arrangement. Dodi's father later stated that he was unaware of the plan.4The black Mercedes S280 driven by Henri Paul, with Diana and Dodi in the rear and Trevor Rees-Jones in the front passenger seat, left from the back exit of the Ritz and proceeded at a normal speed along the rue Cambon, then turned right onto the rue Castiglione. Meanwhile, the Mercedes 600 and Range Rover decoy vehicles left from the front entrance of the Ritz for the five minute drive to Dodi's apartment. As the Mercedes conveying Diana and Dodi drove away from the hotel, several photographers who had been monitoring the back entrance of the Ritz alerted the paparazzi waiting outside the hotel's front entrance that the lovers had given them the slip, prompting the paparazzi to belatedly give chase.Arriving at the Place de la Concorde, instead of turning right onto the Champs Elysées as one normally would do to take the most direct route to Dodi's apartment, Henri Paul continued in a southerly direction towards the river Seine. Running a red traffic light, he rapidly accelerated and entered the Cours la Reine freeway, leaving the pursuing paparazzi far behind. This particular freeway passes through the Pont d'Alma tunnel where the fatal crash occurred.The Crash in the Alma TunnelIt is a customary practice for professional bodyguards to refrain from wearing a seat belt so as not to restrict their movements. Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, who occupied the front passenger seat, was observed to be not wearing a seat belt when leaving the Ritz, yet inexplicably had fastened his prior to the crash. Had he fastened his seatbelt in order to avoid injury when he realized an attempt to crash the car was in progress? If this appears to be highly improbable, then consider statements made by various eyewitnesses.Twenty-nine year old cook Eric Petel claims that he was the first person to reach the crash scene. According to the Reuters News Service, Petel stated that he was traveling at seventy miles per hour on his motorcycle when the Mercedes transporting Diana and Dodi overtook him while flashing its headlights. He was overtaken only seconds before the Mercedes crashed. Petel claimed that he stopped at the crash scene, realized that the female passenger was Diana, and then rode to the nearest police station to report the accident. Most interestingly, Petel claimed that there was no other vehicle either in front of or behind the Mercedes at the time of the crash, nor had any paparazzi arrived during the time that he was in the tunnel.Petel's account suggests that no other vehicle was involved in the crash. This is totally at variance with the statements made to the police by other eyewitnesses and the fact that the paparazzi were at most only a few hundred yards behind the Mercedes as it entered the tunnel. If Petel was the only eyewitness to the event, he could have sold his account to the tabloids for a considerable sum of money, yet he waited five months before going public with his story. Moreover, he released his account exactly the same weekend that the book "Death of a Princess" was released.5 This book raised the possibility that a motorcycle and a white Fiat Uno observed by other eyewitnesses were involved in the crash. According to the police, damage at the crash scene demonstrated that another vehicle had been involved, implying that Petel's story lacks credibility. Moreover, there is no record of Petel reporting the incident to the police, suggesting that Petel's account was a fabrication perpetrated to misdirect attention away from the claim made in Death of a Princess that other vehicles were involved in the crash.A married couple from Rouen was later interviewed by the Rouen police. The husband stated that as he entered the tunnel, he saw in his rearview mirror that the Mercedes was behind him with a motorcycle ridden by two persons on its left. The motorcycle suddenly swerved in front of the car and there was a flash of light "like a searchlight." He then heard a crash as he was exiting the tunnel. He stopped the car but his wife urged him to leave the crash scene, fearing terrorists. Curiously, the husband later changed his story, claiming to the Sunday People newspaper that it was he who had swerved in front of the motor cycle, thus causing the crash, although his wife still insisted that her husband's first account was the correct version, which also is corroborated by other eyewitnesses. According to fifty-three year old François Levy, he was ahead of the Mercedes in the Alma tunnel. There was a motorcycle on the limo's left, which pulled ahead, then swerved into the Mercedes' lane. Of crucial importance is Levy's statement that as the motorcycle swerved and prior to the driver losing control of the limo, there was a flash of light. Levy said that he heard the crash as he was exiting the tunnel. His story is corroborated by British secretary Brenda Wells, a resident of Champigny sur Marne, who was returning to her residence after a party. She stated that: "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." She added that she stopped her car at the crash scene and several men on motorcycles arrived and began taking photographs.Jean-Pascal Peyret and his wife heard an impact followed by a loud crash as they were exiting the Alma tunnel. He said that immediately after the crash his vehicle was overtaken by a motorcycle. When he reported the incident to the police he was told that they were expecting him. This startling comment suggests that the surveillance camera at the tunnel entrance was functioning, enabling the police to read Peyret's license plate, thus contradicting the investigative team's claim that the camera wasn't working at the time of the crash. Two off-duty chauffeurs who were standing near the tunnel entrance observed that Henri Paul downshifted in order to overtake a car that was attempting to slow down the limo. They also noticed a motor cycle in hot pursuit of the Mercedes.California businessman Gary Anderson was a passenger in a taxi that was overtaken by the Mercedes, which was closely followed by two motorcycles. He stated that one of the motorcycles was being driven "aggressively and dangerously." According to Anderson, the motorcycle overtook the limo then swerved in front of it.A chauffeur and an engineer both told police that they witnessed two men on a motorcycle pursuing the Mercedes in a dangerous manner as the limo was approaching the tunnel.In a newspaper interview, one witness said that he saw a car deliberately force the limo into the left hand lane as it entered the Alma tunnel. Another more detailed account of the same incident was provided in the official statement of off duty police officer David Laurent. The policeman was driving on the same freeway when a white Fiat Uno sped past him, heading in the same direction. As he approached the Alma tunnel, he saw the same car moving very slowly, as if the driver was waiting for someone.ContradictionsAt the time Henri Paul lost control of the limo, Dr. Frederic Mailliez was approaching the Alma tunnel in the eastbound lanes. The doctor was employed by S.O.S. Medicins, an emergency medical service owned by French insurance companies, and stopped at the crash scene where he administered oxygen to the injured Diana. Mailliez later made conflicting statements to the news media concerning Diana's injuries, initially stating "She looked pretty fine." During a CNN television interview he remarked "I thought this woman had a chance." A few weeks later, when interviewed by the French medical magazine Impact Quotidien,he contradicted his earlier statements, claiming "There was no way, no chance for her." This latter statement is at variance with the comment made by Dr. Jean-Marc Martino, who was in charge of the ambulance crew that transported Diana to hospital. He stated that he considered her condition as: "severe but not critical." Diana allegedly underwent two heart attacks between the time of the crash and her arrival at the hospital. Unlike ambulances typically used in most countries, the ambulances of the French emergency service SAMU are actually sophisticated mobile surgical units. It would therefore be readily apparent to the ambulance crew attending to Diana's injuries that a heart specialist would be required after her arrival at the hospital. Incredibly, despite radio communication between the ambulance crew and the hospital staff, no heart specialist was present when the ambulance finally arrived at the hospital, nor had a heart lung machine been prepared ready for Diana's surgery if required. Still, French authorities had found time to summon French politicians, police and British ambassador Sir Michael Jay to the hospital prior to the arrival of the ambulance. Inexplicably, one hour and forty six minutes elapsed between the time of the crash and the arrival of the ambulance at the hospital.The cause of Diana's death was attributed to a ruptured pulmonary vein which resulted in massive internal bleeding. Physicians in numerous nations later heavily condemned the ambulance crew for taking such an inordinate amount of time to transport Diana to the hospital, which only entailed a four mile journey. Had she been transported sooner, they claimed, her chances of survival would have been good. Dr. Patrick Goldstein, a vice president of SAMU, defended the ambulance crew's actions, claiming: "Diana had no chance of making it." Perhaps Dr. Goldstein is unaware that President Ronald Reagan, like Diana, also sustained a damaged pulmonary vein when he was shot, yet survived due to the expeditious manner in which he was rushed to hospital.Diana was pronounced dead at 4:00 a.m. on the same day that the crash occurred. A very bizarre incident occurred later that morning which clouds the issue of whether or not Diana was pregnant and also suggests an unlawful course of action on the part of the Windsors and French authorities. It is a violation of French law to embalm a body prior to an autopsy, or to embalm a body without the consent of the next of kin, yet a partial embalming of Diana's body above the waist was performed prior to an autopsy and without the consent of the Spencer family. The order to perform the embalming came from the office of Prince Charles at St. James's Palace. This order was a blatant violation of French law since the prince was no longer Diana's husband. Strangely, a hospital spokesperson claimed that a sample of Diana's blood was never taken, which is very odd since they would have needed a sample in order to determine Diana's blood type prior to administering the blood transfusions purportedly given her. The formaldehyde used in the unlawful partial embalming procedure prevented a full autopsy from being conducted later, thus concealing any evidence that Diana was pregnant with Dodi's child (paparazzi photos of a bikini clad Diana while aboard the Al Fayed yacht revealed that she had a slightly bulging abdomen, although one photo revealing the bulge was purportedly taken just before Diana had met Dodi).In order to find a scapegoat for the crash, the French investigative team headed by Commander Jean-Claude Mules claimed that the aggressive pursuit of the limo by the paparazzi caused the crash. When it became public knowledge that the paparazzi were several hundred yards behind the limo at the time of the crash, the investigators, aided by the British and French news media, focused their attention on driver Henri Paul, claiming that it was his drunkenness and reckless driving which resulted in the crash. At the present time, the official position adopted by the French authorities is that the crash resulted from both the aggressiveness of the paparazzi and the drunkenness of Henri Paul, despite all the eyewitness evidence to the contrary.A Strobe LightWhat really caused the crash and was it accidental or murder? With the exception of Eric Petel's very questionable account of the crash, the consensus of eleven other eyewitness accounts suggests that after leaving the Place de la Concorde, Henri Paul accelerated, leaving the paparazzi behind, but was closely pursued by one or possibly two motorcyclists. Approaching the Pont d'Alma tunnel, one of the motorcycles aggressively cut in front of the limo, forcing Henri Paul to swerve into the right lane in order to avoid a collision, only to be impeded by a white Fiat Uno barely moving. In taking evasive action, the limo veered to the left, clipping the Fiat and damaging its left tail light. Regaining control of the limo, Paul began turning to the right, with the motorcycle in the left hand lane and slightly ahead of the limo. At that precise moment, a pillion passenger on the motorcycle apparently triggered a strobe light which temporarily blinded and disoriented Henri Paul, causing the fatal crash. The motorcycle slowed then sped away accompanied by the damaged Fiat Uno and followed by a white Mercedes.I believe that the strobe light would have been tuned to flash at a frequency of twelve Hertz (cycles per second). This is a frequency at which a powerful strobe light will disorient a person and can induce an epileptic seizure (I used such a tuned strobe light on myself in order to verify the disorienting effect). A typical strobe light of this type, smaller than a cigar, was used by Special Forces personnel in Bosnia. The limo crashed into the thirteenth pillar of the tunnel. Thirteen is a very important number to Satanists, prompting some investigative journalists to suggest that Henri Paul was a victim of mind control and had been programmed to specifically crash into the thirteenth pillar. While I concur that the death of Diana was engineered by the satanic thirteen interrelated family bloodlines collectively known as the Illuminati and that the thirteenth pillar was deliberately selected as the point of impact, this goal could have been accomplished by means of another highly specialized, yet little known weapon, used in conjunction with the strobe light. This particular weapon, termed a "Five-Seven," was developed by the French company FN Herstal for specific use by British Special Air Services personnel. It is an ultra lightweight weapon which fires a frangible bullet at the front tire of a car, causing the tire to burst in a catastrophic manner. This causes the vehicle to abruptly veer off course. Being frangible, the bullet disintegrates into tiny fragments upon impact with the tire, leaving little evidence to the untrained eye situation. Two men were observed on top of the tunnel entrance. They fired two shots at a front tire of the Mercedes as it was entering the tunnel. If my supposition is correct, why didn't a forensic team discover frangible bullet fragments at the crash site, since it's customary to close the road for more than just a few hours if a fatal crash involving a VIP is involved? The answer is that just as the French authorities destroyed evidence of Diana's possible pregnancy by unlawfully permitting a partial embalming of her body, so a forensic team was prevented from conducting a meaningful examination of the crash site because the wreckage was removed, the area swept, cleaned with detergent and the tunnel reopened to traffic in less than six hours after the crash! This egregious act clearly suggests collusion between French authorities and the perpetrators of the crash. In April, 1998, the Reuters news agency reported that a man named Oswald LeWinter had been arrested while attempting to peddle documents to Al Fayed security director John McNamara in the lobby of a Swiss hotel. LeWinter received a two and a half year jail sentence for fraud after telling the Swiss police that the documents were forgeries. The documents may have been genuine, for if LeWinter had admitted to the arresting officers that this was the case, he would have faced possible extradition to America and charged with high treason. The documents, purportedly of CIA origin, imply that the House of Windsor, together with British, American and Israeli intelligence agencies, conspired to murder Diana. One document stated that the limo driven by Henri Paul had been stolen by an Israeli Mossad team and modified so that the steering could be remotely radio controlled. Since the accounts of eleven eyewitnesses are indicative that the deaths of Diana, Dodi and Henri Paul were homicides, is there any evidence of prior plans to assassinate a VIP in a tunnel by blinding his or her chauffeur with a strobe light? Indeed there is.Dismissal from MI6In the autobiography of former MI6 operative Richard Tomlinson, he describes how he was inexplicably fired despite his exemplary career with the British Secret Intelligence Service, and then subsequently jailed for sending the synopsis of a book manuscript to an Australian publisher.7After successfully arranging for nuclear secrets to be smuggled out of Russia and successfully deactivating a criminal group which attempted to smuggle chemical weapons to Iran, he was fired for his undercover work in Sarajevo, while the city was under siege. The principal criticism leveled against him was that he failed to wear a tie during a meeting with the Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic (his tie had accidentally been splashed with oil shortly prior to the meeting). He was refused a hearing to protest his unfair dismissal and jailed. After his release from prison, MI6 smeared him in the British press. When he attempted to emigrate, MI6 successfully applied pressure upon other nations to expel him. It costs great deal of money and time to train an intelligence operative, so why fire a spy who had a superlative track record? Even Mr. Tomlinson appears mystified. I believe Richard Tomlinson was dismissed and subsequently smeared and harassed by MI6 because he appears to be a very straight arrow type of gentleman, who disapproved of an assassination plan which subsequently was used by MI6 to murder Diana. By falsely accusing him in the press of attempting to divulge state secrets, Tomlinson lost credibility with the public, thus rendering any attempt by him to link MI6 with Diana's death, an exercise in futility.While still an MI6 probationer, Tomlinson had read a file concerning an Anglo Iranian agent who had been instrumental in procuring a Russian BMP-3 armored personnel carrier for the British. The file disclosed that details of meetings covertly held by this particular agent at the Ritz hotel in Paris were monitored by one of the hotel's security managers. This security manager was an MI6 paid informant. Tomlinson learned that the informant was Henri Paul, which helps to explain Paul's numerous bank accounts and substantial wealth.After completing an assignment in Belgrade, Tomlinson was invited by an MI6 targeting officer to participate in a plan to assassinate Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic. A few days later, the targeting officer handed Tomlinson a formal MI6 document detailing the plan to assassinate Milosevic during his scheduled visit to Geneva. Chillingly, the plan proposed that a flashing strobe light be used to disorient the chauffeur of Milosevic's limo as it passed through a tunnel. According to Tomlinson, the document stated that a tunnel crash was the preferred assassination locale, since it would minimize the number of witnesses and maximizes the possibility that the crash would prove fatal. Tomlinson expressed to his superior his disgust that MI6 would conspire to assassinate a civilian head of state. A Loose CannonTomlinson heard no more about the assassination plan, which was never implemented - at least in the case of Milosevic. MI6 fired Tomlinson a year prior to Diana's death and began its unrelenting harassment of him, possibly in the hope that he would commit suicide (which was the end result of the FBI harassment of movie actress Jean Seaberg). By the time of Tomlinson's dismissal, Diana was beyond the control of the Windsors and had become a politically loose cannon, so the MI6 hierarchy must have realized that it was only a matter of time before the spy agency would be called upon to arrange her assassination, assigning contract agents to undertake the actual deed. Even though the tunnel crash scenario originally planned for the murder of Milosevic was viewed favorably by the MI6 executives, otherwise the plan would never have been written up as a formal document, the spy agency must have been aware that Tomlinson's hostility to the assassination scenario meant that he would have to be removed from the intelligence loop before it could be implemented. I suspect an MI6 plan to assassinate Diana using the tunnel scenario was the reason for Mr. Tomlinson's dismissal. There was a distinct risk that he might mention the tunnel scenario in his autobiography, which would account for the strenuous efforts undertaken by MI6 to coerce various publishing houses to refrain from publishing it. Tomlinson eventually succeeded in persuading a Russian publishing house to publish it three years after Diana's death. Eight days after Diana's death, Tomlinson's apartment was burgled; the only item stolen was his laptop computer containing his book manuscript which mentioned the Milosevic crash scenario and Henri Paul's connection with MI6. Two months later, he was jailed under Britain's draconian Official Secrets Act, which conveniently prevented him from alerting investigative journalists about the tunnel scenario and the MI6 connection with Henri Paul.A forensic report prepared for the Paris police stated that white paint found in scratches found on the limo after the crash, came from a Fiat Uno. In addition, fragments of a Uno tail light were found at the crash site, confirming eyewitness accounts that the Mercedes had struck the rear of the Fiat, yet presiding Judge Hervé Stephan claimed that the Fiat only played a "passive" role in the incident. Neither the Fiat nor the motorcycle observed by eyewitnesses stopped in the tunnel or made a police statement. One would imagine that Commander Mules would have launched a nationwide alert for the damaged Fiat, yet remarkably restricted the search to only a few suburbs in the vicinity of the Pont d' Alma tunnel. The Fiat was eventually discovered in a car dealership by the Al Fayed investigative team six months after the crash. The car had been repainted and damage to one side and rear repaired. The Fiat had been sold to the dealer two months after Diana's death.The Fiat had been licensed to leading photographer James Andanson, who told Commander Mules when interviewed two weeks after discovery of the Fiat, he was home in central France at the time of the crash. This was very odd considering that he specialized in photographing Diana wherever she went and had even spent a day aboard the Al Fayed yacht photographing Diana only seven days prior to her death. He provided no evidence to prove that he wasn't in the Alma tunnel at the time of the fatal crash, however. Amazingly, despite the claim by the police eyewitness that the Fiat was proceeding in a suspicious manner near the tunnel entrance, in conjunction with other eyewitness accounts which suggest that the driver of the Fiat and the two motorcyclists were working in tandem to perpetrate the crash, Commander Mules never conducted an intensive investigation of Andanson. Some of Andanson's paparazzi colleagues later claimed that he boasted of being in the Alma tunnel the night Diana died.A Fiery DeathThree years after Diana's death, commandos on a training exercise in a sparsely populated region of central France, discovered Andanson's badly burned body in a car which had been set ablaze. His death was ruled a suicide, even though the keys were missing and the car had been locked from the outside.The Al Fayed investigative team and several journalists have concluded that Andanson had been murdered because he talked too much about Diana's death. I tend to disagree, suspecting that this was only a secondary motive. I believe that the primary reason for his murder is that he was under investigation at the time of his death by the French Special Branch. Such an investigation would have undoubtedly revealed Andanson's connection to the suspicious death of the former French Prime Minister Pierre Bérégovoy, Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and the Jonathan Pollard spying incident.8According to the aforementioned Richard Tomlinson, Andanson was a member of UKN. This is a covert department of MI6 consisting of a group of individuals whose regular employment as journalists and paparazzi enable them to keep MI6 informed on the activities of VIP's. Pierre Bérégovoy's death had been ruled a suicide, but was being reinvestigated at the time of Andandson's death due to the violent deaths of three other French politicians who had been linked to scandals surrounding French President Françoise Mitterand. James Andanson had visited Bérégovoy's home town of Nevers on the day the latter had died from a bullet wound to the head. Being photographed by Andanson was a very hazardous experience, because Andanson had also visited four other VIP's on the day they died, suggesting that he was almost certainly an assassin in the employ of one or more intelligence agencies. Andanson was a very prominent photographer who had covered many of Diana's public appearances. Forensic evidence proved that his Fiat Uno had been hit from behind by the limo driven by Henri Paul. Being at the crash scene prior to the arrival of the other paparazzi provided him with the photo opportunity of his lifetime, yet he failed to stop. His UKN membership, taken in consideration with his loitering at the tunnel entrance until the limo had caught up, reinforces the suspicion that he was a member of an assassination team acting under the direction of MI6.London lawyer Gary Hunter was in a third floor room at the Royal Alma Hotel when he heard the crash in the tunnel. The hotel is less than a hundred yards from the tunnel. Dashing to the window, he saw a small car turn onto the rue Jean Goujon from the tunnel exit less than two minutes after the crash, closely followed by a white Mercedes. He stated that both cars were traveling very fast and reported: "My own feeling is that these people were in a hurry not to be there. I am confident that car was getting off the scene. It was obvious they were getting away from something and that they were in a hurry. It looked quite sinister."Because so little time had elapsed since the crash, the small car observed by Hunter must have been the Fiat Uno fleeing the accident scene at high speed. Why did the Fiat exit the tunnel and turn onto the rue Jean Goujean instead of continuing along the freeway? Andanson, the owner of the Fiat, worked for British Intelligence, as did Henri Paul, according to Tomlinson. If the tunnel crash had been orchestrated by British Intelligence, which appears to have been the case, then it was imperative for Andanson to hide the damaged Fiat as quickly as possible in order to avoid being apprehended by the local police (Andanson wouldn't have known whether or not eyewitnesses to the crash had given his license plate number to the police). It so happens that the British Embassy is located only a mere six blocks from the crash site and the shortest route to it from the Alma tunnel is the rue Jean Goujon! Moreover, three very senior members of MI6 had relocated to Paris in the same time frame that Dodi had purchased the engagement ring in Monaco. All three were in Paris at the time of the crash. They are Richard Spearman, personal secretary to the then head of MI6, Sir David Spedding, Nicholas Langman, principal assistant to Spearman, and Sir Richard Dearlove, who became head of MI6 after the death of Spedding. 9In all probability, the white Mercedes observed following the Fiat at high speed was driven by a co-conspirator, who had been assigned to transport Andanson or the motorcyclists away from the crash scene if their vehicles had sustained excessive damage in the incident. If Diana's limo had covertly been fitted with a radio controlled steering system only two weeks prior to the crash, as claimed in the LeWinter documents, an assassin in the white Mercedes with a radio transmitter could have taken over control of the limo and deliberately crashed it into the thirteenth pillar of the tunnel. In summation, eleven eyewitnesses to the crash made statements which make it abundantly clear that one or possibly two motorcyclists and one pillion passenger were working in conjunction with the driver of the Fiat Uno to precipitate the fatal crash in the Alma tunnel.As former spy Richard Tomlinson had noted in his autobiography, MI6 had previously devised an identical crash scenario in order to kill Slobodan Milosevic, but how did they know that Diana and Dodi would be in Paris, and who arranged for the limo to drive through the Alma tunnel instead of taking the shortest route to Dodi's apartment?EchelonAll public phone calls and e-mails are routinely intercepted by the National Security Agency's Echelon system, so the intelligence community would have been aware that Dodi had purchased the engagement ring ten days prior to his death. One of Diana's closest confidante's was Rosa Lawson Monkton; the Moncktons have spied on behalf of the British Establishment for several generations. This doesn't necessarily imply that Ms. Monckton (a longtime friend of the Windsors) was spying on Diana, but her husband Dominick is the editor of the Sunday Telegraph and allegedly has provided journalistic cover for members of the British Intelligence Service, according to Richard Tomlinson. The former spy also claims that Rosa's brother Anthony is a member of MI6. Diana would certainly have kept Ms. Monckton informed of the planned marriage, details of which presumably were passed to MI6, either through gossiping with her brother or by means of phone intercepts. In addition, Diana allegedly telephoned her friend Lucia Fleche di Lima, the wife of the Brazilian ambassador to the United States, about her engagement to Dodi.The reason why Henri Paul was driving Diana and Dodi in a direction away from Dodi's apartment at the time of the crash remains an unsolved mystery whose solution is perhaps known only at the highest level within MI6 and Buckingham Palace. I believe that there is a plausible explanation however.The ill fated trip was the only one the lovers took together without bodyguards following the limo in an escort vehicle. Diana had a very deep mistrust of security personnel, for after all, it was a former member of an elite security group who revealed to the press that he had been a member of a team that had surveilled Diana for several years on behalf of British Intelligence. In addition, since their arrival in Paris, the overly aggressive behavior of the paparazzi had been a very traumatic and frightening experience for her. Diana must have realized that she would have to run another gauntlet of uncouth paparazzi if the lovers returned to Dodi's apartment immediately after having dined at the Ritz. Despite the traumatic experience involving the paparazzi, Diana must have been overjoyed at having received Dodi's marriage proposal and probably wanted to celebrate the happy event prior to returning to Dodi's apartment. Since Diana had a penchant for discos, I suspect that she had persuaded Dodi to take her to an exclusive nightspot to dance the night away.11 The couple had given their bodyguards the slip while sightseeing in Monaco, when Dodi had purchased the engagement ring, so isn't it plausible that they planned to send the Mercedes 600 and the Range Rover to Dodi's apartment as a diversionary tactic, while the couple slipped away unescorted to another destination?According to bodyguard Kez Wingfield, it was Dodi who confirmed Henri Paul's announcement to himself and Trevor Rees-Jones that the couple wished to return to Dodi's apartment unescorted and that the Etoile limousine service must deliver another limo to the rear exit of the Ritz. If the statement in the Oswald Le Winter documents concerning the modifications made to the steering system of the Mercedes 200S is factual, it implies that the selection of that specific limo wasn't coincidental, but rather the work of someone within the Al Fayed organization who was already cognizant of the lover's intent to be driven to an alternate destination. Since Henri Paul was a paid informant of MI6, Dodi's elegant suite at the Ritz would most certainly have been bugged, thus providing the assassins sufficient time to alert the two motor cyclists and Andanson of the planned route.A Night on the TownAs deputy director of the Ritz security staff, it is quite conceivable that Diana and Dodi had told Henri Paul in confidence of their plan to have a night on the town, before he went off duty at 7.00 p.m. Saturday. He then would have had three hours in which to discuss the plan with his MI6 handlers prior to returning to the Ritz that same evening. If Henri Paul had been a mind controlled victim who had been programmed to drive to the Alma tunnel instead of taking the direct route to Dodi's apartment, bodyguard Rees-Jones would have taken appropriate defensive measures when the limo took an alternate route at the Place de la Concorde, and immediately stopped the car. Since this never occurred, it implies that Henri Paul was taking a route acceptable to Diana and DodiIt is quite possible that Henri Paul intended to take the last exit (rue Albert 1) before the Alma tunnel and drive to an upscale nightclub such as L'Etoile, where a man requires the sartorial elegance of a Cary Grant in order to gain admission and where the action doesn't heat up until the early morning hours. According to eyewitnesses, this particular exit was blocked by two motorcycles, thus forcing Henri Paul to drive into the tunnel.Motives for MurderIt's not difficult to find a motive for assassinating Diana. The shy mouse that the House of Windsor intended to be used as a brood mare and nothing more, had evolved into a potential dragon slayer. She was intent upon preventing Charles from ever becoming king. Moreover, her mastery over the news media enabled her to publicly upstage the Windsors whenever she elected to do so. Diana's engagement to Dodi was unacceptable to the Windors since it meant that the future step father of Prince William and Harry would be a person of color and a practicing Muslim to boot. One can imagine Prince Charles' fury upon learning that his former wife was being romanced by Dodi Al Fayed of all people, for ten years earlier, a polo team captained by Charles had been beaten by a team led by Dodi!Another powerful motive for murdering Diana was that she had become a loose cannon, politically speaking. Her aggressive campaigning toward the instituting of a ban on the use of land mines and a reduction in armaments sales, was anathema to the major armaments consortiums such as the Carlyle Group, whose stockholders includes the Bush and bin Laden families, Condoleezza Rice and, by proxy purchase, the House of Windsor. Until the advent of WWII, land mines had been used to impede the progress of enemy troops, but the introduction of tanks equipped with rotary flails which detonated land mines, provided a safe passage through minefields, thus diminishing their effectiveness. Their principal widespread use at the present time is to kill or maim children to prevent them from becoming future soldiers who might kill their aggressors. Cluster bombs serve a similar purpose, which is why they frequently contain bomblets disguised as toys.At the time of the couple's death, production was scheduled to commence on a movie based upon a screenplay written by Gordon Thomas concerning the abolition of land mines. The executive producer was to have been Diana, with Dodi as producer. The movie was scheduled to star Gene Hackman and Brad Pitt. Stolen ImagesWithin a few hours of Diana's death, the London home of photojournalist Lionel Cherruault was burgled after he had been contacted by a photo agency in regard to photos taken at the Alma tunnel crash site. The only valuables stolen were the hard drives from his computers and computer discs containing images of Diana. The London photo laboratory of Darryn Lyons had also been burgled the same day, after he had received e-mailed images of the crash from French photo agent Laurent Sola. Curiously, a few days after the fiery death of James Andanson in June, 2000, his employer, the SIPA photo agency in Paris was entered by three armed and masked men, who terrorized the employees for three hours by holding them hostage and shooting a security guard in the foot. The robbers stole computer hard drives and ransacked offices in which Andanson had stored photos of Diana. The French police failed to respond to phone calls made by frantic employees while the burglary was in progress. This egregious act suggests that the robbers were connected with the French Secret Service.Were the burglaries perpetrated in order to steal paparazzi photos which would reveal the license plates of the Fiat Uno and the motor cycles involved in the crash, or was there another even more sinister reason? After arriving at Dodi's apartment in the Range Rover, bodyguard Kez Wingfield and his driver Philippe Dourneau received a message that Diana's limo had crashed. Upon hurrying to the tunnel, Wingfield phoned the Al Fayed headquarters in London, while Dourneau went to the wrecked limo. Dourneau reported to Wingfield that Diana had hurt her legs but otherwise appeared to be fine. Dourneau's account is in accordance with a rumor circulated by the paparazzi that Diana had been photographed through the open rear door of the ambulance and was sitting up at the time.Both accounts clearly are at variance with the version given by the attending medical personnel. It is self evident from eyewitness statements that the official version of the crash promoted by the French investigative authorities is clearly false. Adding fuel to the fire, a full post mortem on Diana was never conducted in France. In compliance with British law, a second autopsy was conducted in London by the official coroner to the Royal Family. Strangely, a copy of the autopsy report was given to the two pathologists who had performed the partial embalming of Diana in Paris (Professors Lecompte and Lienhart). They were told that it was for their personal use and were ordered not to permit it to be included in the official investigative report of Judge Hervé Stephen. It implies that a massive cover up was perpetrated in order to conceal the fact that Diana was assassinated. If this was indeed the case, can we not think the unthinkable and inquire whether the official claim that Diana died from a ruptured pulmonary vein is totally false and that Diana only sustained minor injuries in the crash, but was murdered either in transit to the hospital, or subsequently in the hospital?A Lethal Oxygen CylinderI have assisted survivors of Illuminati and government mind control projects for several years. These unfortunate victims have related to me accounts of having witnessed ghastly satanic rituals attended by members of various noble families and establishment figures. Such victims are programmed multiples - the front alter personality being unaware that they have been mind controlled unless their programming has begun to unravel, which occurs in rare instances.It is customary for each mind controlled victim to possess a reporting alter personality, who covertly communicates with the victim's handler, usually by telephone, without the knowledge of the front alter personality. After Diana's death, I was speaking with a mind controlled victim who had attained the very exalted Illuminati rank of Mother of Darkness. During our conversation, her reporting alter personality took over the conversation as it had on other occasions when we had spoken. She named her handler, who is a very high level Illuminatus. He also is a very well known French banker and is the same person I mention in the introduction to my book "They Cast no Shadows," concerning another matter.11 This handler allegedly had told the reporting alter that Diana had been ritually bludgeoned to death with an oxygen cylinder.Such a statement appears preposterous unless one is well acquainted with the bizarre occult inner workings of the Illuminati.

Tomlinson noted this "information that could be useful in establishing the causes of death of Henri Paul, the Princess of Wales, and Dodi Al Fayed," suggesting "that Milosevic could be assassinated by causing his personal limousine to crash." "Dr Fishwick proposed to arrange the crash in a tunnel, because the proximity of concrete close to the road would ensure that the crash would be sufficiently violent to cause death or serious injury, and would also reduce the possibility that there might be independent, casual witnesses," said Tomlinson. "Dr Fishwick suggested that one way to cause the crash might be to disorientate the chauffeur using a strobe flash gun, a device which is occasionally deployed by special forces to, for example, disorientate helicopter pilots or terrorists, and about which MI6 officers are briefed about during their training," Tomlinson continued.

Princess Diana: Did Prince Philip Order Her Death?

The sworn testimony of former MI6 agent Richard Tomlinson below describes his knowledge of a MI6 plot to assassinate Serbian leader President Slobodan Milosevic with a very similar scheme. Photo shows Diana's handwritten note predicting her death by 'Car Accident') MI6 and Diana, Princess of Wales Sworn Testimony by former MI6 Agent Richard Tomlinson Attached below is a sworn and testified statement that I have made on 12th May 1999 to the enquiry into the deaths of the Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed, and Henri Paul. I firmly believe that MI6 have information in their files that would assist Judge Stephan's enquiry. Why don't they yield up this information? They should not be entitled to use the Official Secrets Act to protect themselves from investigation into the deaths of three people, particularly in the case of an incident of this magnitude and historical importance.I, Richard John Charles Tomlinson, former MI6 officer, of Geneva, Switzerland hereby declare:I firmly believe that there exist documents held by the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) that would yield important new evidence into the cause and circumstances leading to the deaths of the Princess of Wales, Mr Dodi Al Fayed, and M. Henri Paul in Paris in August 1997.I was employed by MI6 between September 1991 and April 1995. During that time, I saw various documents that I believe would provide new evidence and new leads into the investigation into these deaths. I also heard various rumours which though I was not able to see supporting documents I am confident were based on solid fact. In 1992, I was working in the Eastern European Controllerate of MI6 and I was peripherally involved in a large and complicated operation to smuggle advanced Soviet weaponry out of the then disintegrating and disorganised remnants of the Soviet Union. During 1992, I spent several days reading the substantial files on this operation. These files contain a wide miscellany of contact notes, telegrams, intelligence reports, photographs etc, from which it was possible to build up a detailed understanding of the operation. The operation involved a large cast of officers and agents of MI6. One more than one occasion, meetings between various figures in the operation took place at the Ritz Hotel, Place de Vendome, Paris. There were in the file several intelligence reports on these meetings, which had been written by one of the MI6 officers based in Paris at the time (identified in the file only by a coded designation). The source of the information was an informant in the Ritz Hotel, who again was identified in the files only by a code number. The MI6 officer paid the informant in cash for his information. I became curious to learn more about the identity of this particular informant, because his number cropped up several times and he seemed to have extremely good access to the goings on in the Ritz Hotel. I therefore ordered this informant's personal file from MI6's central file registry. When I read this new file, I was not at all surprised to learn that the informant was a security officer of the Ritz Hotel. Intelligence services always target the security officers of important hotels because they have such good access to intelligence. I remember, however, being mildly surprised that the nationality of this informant was French, and this stuck in my memory, because it is rare that MI6 succeeds in recruiting a French informer. I cannot claim that I remember from this reading of the file that the name of this person was Henri Paul, but I have no doubt with the benefit of hindsight that this was he. Although I did not subsequently come across Henri Paul again during my time in MI6, I am confident that the relationship between he and MI6 would have continued until his death, because MI6 would never willingly relinquish control over such a well placed informant. I am sure that the personal file of Henri Paul will therefore contain notes of meetings between him and his MI6 controlling officer right up until the point of his death. I firmly believe that these files will contain evidence of crucial importance to the circumstances and causes of the incident that killed M. Paul, together with the Princess of Wales and Dodi Al Fayed. The most senior undeclared officer in the local MI6 station would normally control an informant of M.Paul's usefulness and seniority. Officers declared to the local counter-intelligence service (in this case the Directorate de Surveillance Territoire, or DST) would not be used to control such an informant, because it might lead to the identity of the informant becoming known to the local intelligence services. In Paris at the time of M. Paul's death, there were two relatively experienced but undeclared MI6 officers. The first was Mr Nicholas John Andrew LANGMAN, born 1960. The second was Mr Richard David SPEARMAN, again born in 1960. I firmly believe that either one or both of these officers will be well acquainted with M Paul, and most probably also met M. Paul shortly before his death. I believe that either or both of these officers will have knowledge that will be of crucial importance in establishing the sequence of events leading up to the deaths of M.Paul, Dodi Al Fayed and the Princess of Wales. Mr Spearman in particular was an extremely well connected and influential officer, because he had been, prior to his appointment in Paris, the personal secretary to the Chief of MI6 Mr David SPEDDING. As such, he would have been privy to even the most confidential of MI6 operations. I believe that there may well be significance in the fact that Mr Spearman was posted to Paris in the month immediately before the deaths. Later in 1992, as the civil war in the former Yugoslavia became increasingly topical, I started to work primarily on operations in Serbia. During this time, I became acquainted with Dr Nicholas Bernard Frank FISHWICK, born 1958, the MI6 officer who at the time was in charge of planning Balkan operations. During one meeting with Dr Fishwick, he casually showed to me a three-page document that on closer inspection turned out to be an outline plan to assassinate the Serbian leader President Slobodan Milosevic. The plan was fully typed, and attached to a yellow "minute board", signifying that this was a formal and accountable document. It will therefore still be in existence. Fishwick had annotated that the document be circulated to the following senior MI6 officers: Maurice KENDWRICK-PIERCEY, then head of Balkan operations, John RIDDE, then the security officer for Balkan operations, the SAS liaison officer to MI6 (designation MODA/SO, but I have forgotten his name), the head of the Eastern European Controllerate (then Richard FLETCHER) and finally Alan PETTY, the personal secretary to the then Chief of MI6, Colin McCOLL. This plan contained a political justification for the assassination of Milosevic, followed by three outline proposals on how to achieve this objective. I firmly believe that the third of these scenarios contained information that could be useful in establishing the causes of death of Henri Paul, the Princess of Wales, and Dodi Al Fayed. This third scenario suggested that Milosevic could be assassinated by causing his personal limousine to crash. Dr Fishwick proposed to arrange the crash in a tunnel, because the proximity of concrete close to the road would ensure that the crash would be sufficiently violent to cause death or serious injury, and would also reduce the possibility that there might be independent, casual witnesses. Dr Fishwick suggested that one way to cause the crash might be to disorientate the chauffeur using a strobe flash gun, a device which is occasionally deployed by special forces to, for example, disorientate helicopter pilots or terrorists, and about which MI6 officers are briefed about during their training. In short, this scenario bore remarkable similarities to the circumstances and witness accounts of the crash that killed the Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed, and Henri Paul. I firmly believe that this document should be yielded by MI6 to the Judge investigating these deaths, and would provide further leads that he could follow. During my service in MI6, I also learnt unofficially and second-hand something of the links between MI6 and the Royal Household. MI6 are frequently and routinely asked by the Royal Household (usually via the Foreign Office) to provide intelligence on potential threats to members of the Royal Family whilst on overseas trips. This service would frequently extend to asking friendly intelligence services (such as the CIA) to place members of the Royal Family under discrete surveillance, ostensibly for their own protection. This was particularly the case for the Princess of Wales, who often insisted on doing without overt personal protection, even on overseas trips. Although contact between MI6 and the Royal Household was officially only via the Foreign Office, I learnt while in MI6 that there was unofficial direct contact between certain senior and influential MI6 officers and senior members of the Royal Household. I did not see any official papers on this subject, but I am confident that the information is correct. I firmly believe that MI6 documents would yield substantial leads on the nature of their links with the Royal Household, and would yield vital information about MI6 surveillance on the Princess of Wales in the days leading to her death. I also learnt while in MI6 that one of the "paparazzi" photographers who routinely followed the Princess of Wales was a member of "UKN", a small corps of part-time MI6 agents who provide miscellaneous services to MI6 such as surveillance and photography expertise. I do not know the identity of this photographer, or whether he was one of the photographers present at the time of the fatal incident. However, I am confident that examination of UKN records would yield the identity of this photographer, and would enable the inquest to eliminate or further investigate that potential line of enquiry. On Friday August 28 1998, I gave much of this information to Judge Hervé Stephan, the French investigative Judge in charge of the inquest into the accident. The lengths which MI6, the CIA and the DST have taken to deter me giving this evidence and subsequently to stop me talking about it, suggests that they have something to hide. On Friday 31 July 1998, shortly before my appointment with Judge Hervé Stephan, the DST arrested me in my Paris hotel room. Although I have no record of violent conduct I was arrested with such ferocity and at gunpoint that I received a broken rib. I was taken to the headquarters of the DST, and interrogated for 38 hours. Despite my repeated requests, I was never given any justification for the arrest and was not shown the arrest warrant. Even though I was released without charge, the DST confiscated from me my laptop computer and Psion organiser. They illegally gave these to MI6 who took them back to the UK. They were not returned for six months, which is illegal and caused me great inconvenience and financial cost. On Friday 7th August 1998 I boarded a Qantas flight at Auckland International airport, New Zealand, for a flight to Sydney, Australia where I was due to give a television interview to the Australian Channel Nine television company. I was in my seat, awaiting take off, when an official boarded the plane and told me to get off. At the airbridge, he told me that the airline had received a fax "from Canberra" saying that there was a problem with my travel papers. I immediately asked to see the fax, but I was told that "it was not possible". I believe that this is because it didn't exist. This action was a ploy to keep me in New Zealand so that the New Zealand police could take further action against me. I had been back in my Auckland hotel room for about half an hour when the New Zealand police and NZSIS, the New Zealand Secret Intelligence Service, raided me. After being detained and searched for about three hours, they eventually confiscated from me all my remaining computer equipment that the French DST had not succeeded in taking from me. Again, I didn't get some of these items back until six months later. Moreover, shortly after I had given this evidence to Judge Stephan, I was invited to talk about this evidence in a live television interview on America's NBC television channel. I flew from Geneva to JFK airport on Sunday 30 August to give the interview in New York on the following Monday morning. Shortly after arrival at John F Kennedy airport, the captain of the Swiss Air flight told all passengers to return to their seats.Four US Immigration authority officers entered the plane, came straight to my seat, asked for my passport as identity, and then frogmarched me off the plane. I was taken to the immigration detention centre, photographed, fingerprinted, manacled by my ankle to a chair for seven hours, served with deportation papers (exhibit 1) and then returned on the next available plane to Geneva. I was not allowed to make any telephone calls to the representatives of NBC awaiting me in the airport. The US Immigration Officers - who were all openly sympathetic to my situation and apologised for treating me so badly - openly admitted that they were acting under instructions from the CIA. In January of this year, I booked a chalet in the village of Samoens in the French Alps for a ten day snowboarding holiday with my parents. I picked up my parents from Geneva airport in a hire car on the evening of January 8, and set off for the French border. At the French customs post, our car was stopped and I was detained. Four officers from the DST held me for four hours. At the end of this interview, I was served with the deportation papers below (exhibit 2), and ordered to return to Switzerland. Note that in the papers, my supposed destination has been changed from "Chamonix" to "Samoens". This is because when first questioned by a junior DST officer, I told him that my destination was "Chamonix". When a senior officer arrived an hour or so later, he crossed out the word and changed it to "Samoens", without ever even asking or confirming this with me. I believe this is because MI6 had told them of my true destination, having learnt the information through surveillance on my parent's telephone in the UK.My banning from France is entirely illegal under European law. I have a British passport and am entitled to travel freely within the European Union. MI6 have "done a deal" with the DST to have me banned, and have not used any recognised legal mechanism to deny my rights to freedom of travel. I believe that the DST and MI6 have banned me from France because they wanted to prevent me from giving further evidence to Judge Stephan's inquest, which at the time, I was planning to do. Whatever MI6's role in the events leading to the death of the Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed and Henri Paul, I am absolutely certain that there is substantial evidence in their files that would provide crucial evidence in establishing the exact causes of this tragedy. I believe that they have gone to considerable lengths to obstruct the course of justice by interfering with my freedom of speech and travel, and this in my view confirms my belief that they have something to hide. 
I believe that the protection given to MI6 files under the Official Secrets Act should be set aside in the public interest in uncovering once and for all the truth behind these dramatic and historically momentous events. 

Princess Diana: Did MI6 Stage 'Car Accident' Plot?

This third scenario suggested that Milosevic could be assassinated by causing his personal limousine to crash. Dr Fishwick proposed to arrange the crash in a tunnel, because the proximity of concrete close to the road would ensure that the crash would be sufficiently violent to cause death or serious injury, and would also reduce the possibility that there might be independent, casual witnesses. Dr Fishwick suggested that one way to cause the crash might be to disorientate the chauffeur using a strobe flash gun, a device which is occasionally deployed by special forces to, for example, disorientate helicopter pilots or terrorists, and about which MI6 officers are briefed about during their training. In short, this scenario bore remarkable similarities to the circumstances and witness accounts of the crash that killed the Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed, and Henri Paul. I firmly believe that this document should be yielded by MI6 to the Judge investigating these deaths, and would provide further leads that he could follow. During my service in MI6, I also learnt unofficially and second-hand something of the links between MI6 and the Royal Household. MI6 are frequently and routinely asked by the Royal Household (usually via the Foreign Office) to provide intelligence on potential threats to members of the Royal Family whilst on overseas trips. This service would frequently extend to asking friendly intelligence services (such as the CIA) to place members of the Royal Family under discrete surveillance, ostensibly for their own protection. This was particularly the case for the Princess of Wales, who often insisted on doing without overt personal protection, even on overseas trips. Although contact between MI6 and the Royal Household was officially only via the Foreign Office, I learnt while in MI6 that there was unofficial direct contact between certain senior and influential MI6 officers and senior members of the Royal Household. I did not see any official papers on this subject, but I am confident that the information is correct. I firmly believe that MI6 documents would yield substantial leads on the nature of their links with the Royal Household, and would yield vital information about MI6 surveillance on the Princess of Wales in the days leading to her death. I also learnt while in MI6 that one of the "paparazzi" photographers who routinely followed the Princess of Wales was a member of "UKN", a small corps of part-time MI6 agents who provide miscellaneous services to MI6 such as surveillance and photography expertise. I do not know the identity of this photographer, or whether he was one of the photographers present at the time of the fatal incident. However, I am confident that examination of UKN records would yield the identity of this photographer, and would enable the inquest to eliminate or further investigate that potential line of enquiry. On Friday August 28 1998, I gave much of this information to Judge Hervé Stephan, the French investigative Judge in charge of the inquest into the accident. The lengths which MI6, the CIA and the DST have taken to deter me giving this evidence and subsequently to stop me talking about it, suggests that they have something to hide. On Friday 31 July 1998, shortly before my appointment with Judge Hervé Stephan, the DST arrested me in my Paris hotel room. Although I have no record of violent conduct I was arrested with such ferocity and at gunpoint that I received a broken rib. I was taken to the headquarters of the DST, and interrogated for 38 hours. Despite my repeated requests, I was never given any justification for the arrest and was not shown the arrest warrant. Even though I was released without charge, the DST confiscated from me my laptop computer and Psion organiser. They illegally gave these to MI6 who took them back to the UK. They were not returned for six months, which is illegal and caused me great inconvenience and financial cost. On Friday 7th August 1998 I boarded a Qantas flight at Auckland International airport, New Zealand, for a flight to Sydney, Australia where I was due to give a television interview to the Australian Channel Nine television company. I was in my seat, awaiting take off, when an official boarded the plane and told me to get off. At the airbridge, he told me that the airline had received a fax "from Canberra" saying that there was a problem with my travel papers. I immediately asked to see the fax, but I was told that "it was not possible". I believe that this is because it didn't exist. This action was a ploy to keep me in New Zealand so that the New Zealand police could take further action against me. I had been back in my Auckland hotel room for about half an hour when the New Zealand police and NZSIS, the New Zealand Secret Intelligence Service, raided me. After being detained and searched for about three hours, they eventually confiscated from me all my remaining computer equipment that the French DST had not succeeded in taking from me. Again, I didn't get some of these items back until six months later. Moreover, shortly after I had given this evidence to Judge Stephan, I was invited to talk about this evidence in a live television interview on America's NBC television channel. I flew from Geneva to JFK airport on Sunday 30 August to give the interview in New York on the following Monday morning. Shortly after arrival at John F Kennedy airport, the captain of the Swiss Air flight told all passengers to return to their seats.Four US Immigration authority officers entered the plane, came straight to my seat, asked for my passport as identity, and then frogmarched me off the plane. I was taken to the immigration detention centre, photographed, fingerprinted, manacled by my ankle to a chair for seven hours, served with deportation papers (exhibit 1) and then returned on the next available plane to Geneva. I was not allowed to make any telephone calls to the representatives of NBC awaiting me in the airport. The US Immigration Officers - who were all openly sympathetic to my situation and apologised for treating me so badly - openly admitted that they were acting under instructions from the CIA. In January of this year, I booked a chalet in the village of Samoens in the French Alps for a ten day snowboarding holiday with my parents. I picked up my parents from Geneva airport in a hire car on the evening of January 8, and set off for the French border. At the French customs post, our car was stopped and I was detained. Four officers from the DST held me for four hours. At the end of this interview, I was served with the deportation papers below (exhibit 2), and ordered to return to Switzerland. Note that in the papers, my supposed destination has been changed from "Chamonix" to "Samoens". This is because when first questioned by a junior DST officer, I told him that my destination was "Chamonix". When a senior officer arrived an hour or so later, he crossed out the word and changed it to "Samoens", without ever even asking or confirming this with me. I believe this is because MI6 had told them of my true destination, having learnt the information through surveillance on my parent's telephone in the UK.My banning from France is entirely illegal under European law. I have a British passport and am entitled to travel freely within the European Union. MI6 have "done a deal" with the DST to have me banned, and have not used any recognised legal mechanism to deny my rights to freedom of travel. I believe that the DST and MI6 have banned me from France because they wanted to prevent me from giving further evidence to Judge Stephan's inquest, which at the time, I was planning to do. Whatever MI6's role in the events leading to the death of the Princess of Wales, Dodi Al Fayed and Henri Paul, I am absolutely certain that there is substantial evidence in their files that would provide crucial evidence in establishing the exact causes of this tragedy. I believe that they have gone to considerable lengths to obstruct the course of justice by interfering with my freedom of speech and travel, and this in my view confirms my belief that they have something to hide. 

I believe that the protection given to MI6 files under the Official Secrets Act should be set aside in the public interest in uncovering once and for all the truth behind these dramatic and historically momentous events. 

Royal Conspiracy: Princess Diana Names Her Killer
 by URI DOWBENKO

Did Princess Diana know who was plotting to kill her? Diana gave a handwritten letter to her butler Paul Burrell, 10 months before she died, to keep as "insurance" for the future. In the letter, revealed in Burrell's book "A Royal Duty," the princess knew she was marked as an "inconvenient woman."Diana, who died in an August 1997 car crash in Paris, named the person she believed was plotting against her, predicting her own death, when she wrote, "This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous...(Name Redacted) is planning 'an accident' in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry." Meanwhile, author Patricia Cornwell is conveniently claiming to have "solved the Diana mystery," muddying the waters as she did with the Jack the Ripper Murders. Cornwell absolved the high-ranking Royal-Masonic Cabal of the deaths of the prostitutes, as described in the late Stephen Knight's book "Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution." The conspiracy included Sir William Gull, the Queen's physician and Sir Charles Warren Commissioner of Police and member of the Ars Quator Coronatorum Masonic Lodge, confidants to Queen Victoria herself, wrote Knight."A great deal is at stake if the Establishment considers it necessary to operate a full scale cover-up," writes Knight. "For the truth of the Jack the Ripper affair to have been painstakingly concealed can mean nothing less than State security was at risk, or that someone high in the Government or the Royal Family was involved." As it was with the Murder of Princess Diana.Author Stephen Knight explains how Britain's entire political system at the end of the 19th century was threatened by the hidden facts -- Prince Albert Victor ("Eddy") was not only bisexual, but he had married a Roman Catholic girl and fathered a child with her. Evidently these debaucheries were so scandalous that the Ruling Class would not abide even the slightest hint of this revelation.When a group of working girls decided to blackmail the Royals, the Marquess of Salisbury, then Prime Minister, had to take care of the problem. He entrusted Sir William Gull, physician and abortionist to the Royal Family, for the mission. The deliberately engineered panic, i.e., the murder of five prostitutes, was done according to Masonic ritual. The ritual murder and disembowelment "met with such ghastly success because of the audacity with which they were executed," said Walter Sickert, Knight's informant whose painter-father had intimate knowledge of the Cleveland Street murders. This so-called "audacity" is a trademark of Masonic "mischief-making." "All Jack the Ripper victims were dispatched according to age-old Masonic ritual," Knight continues. The mutilations of the "unfortunates" were done according to Masonic tradition, the standard way of dealing with "traitors." In fact, the oath recited by initiates promises a ghastly death and mutilation -- in the case of "betrayal."Meanwhile the UK Mirror's editorial reflects a growing concern about the Princess Diana Murder and Cover-up: "Today's Mirror front page is one of the most dramatic and devastating we have published in our entire history."Diana's letter reflects her understanding of the diabolical nature of the Royal Family and the House of Windsor. The UK Mirror, which published the letter, said it could not reveal the identity for fear of a lawsuit. It printed a photograph of part of the letter, with the name blacked out. Before sealing the letter in an envelope marked "Paul', the princess told Burrell: "I'm going to date this and I want you to keep it. Just in case."Burrell writes in his book -- "But, with the benefit of hindsight, the content of that letter has bothered me since her death. For this is what she wrote 10 months before she died in that car crash in Paris:"I am sitting here at my desk today in October, longing for someone to hug me and encourage me to keep strong and hold my head high. This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous. (The princess then identified where she felt the threat and danger would come from) ... is planning 'an accident' in my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to marry."I have been battered, bruised and abused mentally by a system for years now, but I feel no resentment, I carry no hatred. I am weary of the battles, but I will never surrender. am strong inside and maybe that a problem for my enemies."Thank you Charles, for putting me through such hell and for giving me the opportunity to learn from the cruel things you have done to me."I have gone forward fast and have cried more than anyone will ever know."The anguish nearly killed me, but my inner strength has never let me down, and my guides have taken such good care of me up there.Aren't I fortunate to have had their wings to protect me..."Burrell said Diana believed she was regarded as a nuisance once she and Prince Charles were divorced in 1996. The cover story for Diana's murder was cast in stone with a French inquiry in 1999 that concluded the car crashed because the driver had been drinking and traveling too fast. But there has never been an inquest in Britain. The UK Mirror, which published the letter, said it could not reveal the identity for fear of a lawsuit. It printed a photograph of part of the letter, with the name blacked out. Before sealing the letter in an envelope marked "Paul', the princess told Burrell: "I'm going to date this and I want you to keep it. Just in case."According to the Mirror, these are the unanswered questions about the death of Princess Diana.* What really happened to Diana�0;0;0;0;0;19;s Mercedes that night? * Did she receive the medical treatment she required? * Was she pregnant?* Had she taken drugs? * Was the car's driver Henri Paul really drunk? "The British people have an absolute right to know what really happened to their princess," the Mirror editorial continues. "The British people deserve nothing less and must get nothing less." And that goes for the rest of the world too...***

Princess Diana: Crushed Between

Princess Diana: Crushed Between

The East and The West

By Sherman H. Skolnick
(Originally published in September 1997)


"The princess was crushed between the East and the West: 
between the Pope and the failing, degenerate British monarchy, the House of Windsor."

More and more, Paris is becoming a center of political assassinations. 
ITEM: 
In July, 1996, Amschel Rothschild was murdered, just as he was about to become the new head of the Rothschild worldwide banking empire, tied to the Vatican. Most of the American press were silent: some said it was a heart attack; others, a suicide. He was found with a bathroom cord tied around his neck, connected to a towel rack. In checking it out, however, the Paris police discovered the rack came right off the wall! Hence, it was murder, not suicide. Rothschilds and Rockefellers have engaged each other in bloody financial wars for many decades. Rothschild was murdered on the anniversary of the murder of John D. Rockefeller III, 1978. Recently, we repeated the exclusive details. ITEM: February 1997: A long-time, major financial supporter of Albert Gore, Jr., was murdered in Paris: Pamela Harriman, U.S. Ambassador to France, widow of Averell Harriman of the major banking and railroad fortune. With her help, Gore had joined with top U.S. military leaders, who had fled to France, to arrest their Commander-in-Chief, Bill Clinton, for treason. ITEM: Various western intelligence agencies arranged to assassinate Princess Diana, in Paris. She was killed on a sacred section called Pont l'Alma -- from that is derived the word "Pontiff," that is, "Pope." The ancient section is where most every royal family in Europe comes from. According to legend, a person killed there goes straight to Heaven, as a representative of Jesus. According to unreleased witness reports, a vehicle (on purpose) tapped or hit the rear of Diana's Mercedes, one of the heavily-built models, reportedly made bomb- and bullet-resistant. A slick had already been spread ahead of her car, which then hit an intentional, heavy obstruction planted in the tunnel roadway. The second car had intelligence agents from the super-secret Committee of Twenty-Six, headquartered in Bristol, England, made up of covert operatives of the United States and the United Kingdom, skilled in murder disguised as auto accident. Informed of this in advance, French Intelligence took a "hands off" posture and delayed the arrival of the Paris police to the murder scene. The local authorities in Paris reportedly have "smoking gun" video evidence made by "Paparazzi" on motorbikes (that is, celebrity-chasing photographers), reportedly showing the political assassination details. French authorities have proof to blackmail Bill Clinton, both on the murder of Diana as well as the cover-up of the missile attack on the Paris-bound TWA Flight 800, in which 60 French nationals perished, including 8 of the French Secret Police. Diana and her intended Arab husband were set to shift billions of dollars from the West, to banks in Germany and Austria. The princess was crushed between the East and the West: between the Pope and the failing, degenerate British monarchy, the House of Windsor. Newsfakers here and overseas continue to call it a so-called "auto accident." Stay tuned.

New holes in cover-up of Diana murder plot

Shortly after midnight, on Aug. 30-31, 1997, David Laurent, an off-duty senior French police official,
 was driving alone in his car on the right bank of the Seine River, heading toward the Place de l'Alma tunnel where, moments later, Diana Princess of Wales, her companion Dodi Fayed, and driver Henri Paul would die in a car crash. As he drove, Laurent was passed by a speeding white Fiat Uno, according to accounts he provided nine months ago to French Criminal Brigade police probing the Diana crash. As he approached the tunnel, Laurent noticed that the Fiat Uno that had sped by him, was now crawling along in the right traffic lane, almost at a standstill, just before the tunnel entrance.

Although the behavior of the Fiat driver was a bit bizarre, Laurent drove on. It was, after all, Saturday night on the final weekend of the summer, and there were a lot of strange goings-on on the streets of Paris. Less than a moment later, however, Laurent heard a loud explosion from inside the tunnel, as he was driving a short distance ahead.

It was not until the next morning that Laurent realized that the explosion he had heard from inside the tunnel was the crash that claimed the lives of Diana and her companions. And it was not until several weeks later that police forensic tests confirmed that the crash had been caused by a collision between the Mercedes 280-S carrying Diana, Fayed, Paul, and bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, the sole survivor of the crash, and a Fiat Uno. Within hours of the crash, police at the scene had gathered up evidence--a side mirror and fragments of a tail light--suggesting that a two-car collision had occurred. A police sketch, drawn at the crash site, labeled a section of the tunnel the "collision zone." Several witnesses, interviewed during the first week after the crash, had described a small hatchback car, cutting in front of the Mercedes at the tunnel entrance, jamming its breaks inside the tunnel, fleeing the crash scene, and so on.

But, until Laurent's critical piece of the story became public in early June, the role of the Fiat had remained ambiguous--despite the fact that the car and its driver have disappeared. Was the missing Fiat tragically in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was it critical to the most spectacular vehicular homicide in history?

Laurent's description of the Fiat, speeding to a spot near the tunnel entrance, less than a minute ahead of Diana's car, which was under chase from several other cars and motorcycles, strongly suggests the latter possibility.

For reasons yet unexplained, Laurent's crucial eyewitness account was withheld from the chief investigating magistrate, Hervé Stephan, for months.

Tampering with evidence

This is not the first time that the French police in charge of the investigation have tampered with evidence. Within hours of the crash, French police had told reporters that the Mercedes carrying Diana had been travelling at speeds of more than 120 miles per hour. How did they know? They told reporters that the speedometer of the mangled Mercedes had been frozen at more than 120 mph. EIR investigators determined that the French "leak" had to be a lie. Daimler Benz safety experts had told EIR reporters that, in any crash, the speedometer immediately goes back to zero. Two weeks later, the French police "corrected" the error; but this time, the media scarcely reported the correction. Similarly, French police had lied to reporters that Diana had been pinned in the rear compartment of the Mercedes, and saying that this was why it took so long to get her into an ambulance and to a hospital. Photographic evidence and eyewitness accounts later proved that it, too, was a premeditated lie by the French police.

In the case of the Laurent testimony, sources tell EIR that the police have claimed that they have withheld certain vital evidence from Magistrate Stephan, to avoid the information falling into the hands of the attorneys for the paparazzi. The police allegedly claimed that their investigation "would be jeopardized" if the paparazzi were to learn crucial details.

The Laurent revelation, which was leaked to the London Daily Mirror on June 4 by a well-placed French police source, was not the only new piece of evidence to emerge in early June. On June 3, the British independent television network ITV aired a one-hour investigative report, "Diana: The Secrets Behind the Crash," that seriously discredits French police claims that driver Henri Paul was drunk at the time of the crash.

Carbon monoxide found in Paul's blood

The assertion that Paul was drunk and high on two prescription drugs is pivotal to the ongoing effort, by the French government and the British establishment, to cast the crash as nothing more than a case of reckless, drunk driving. The claim that Paul had blood alcohol levels three times the legal limit at the time of the crash, was based solely on tests conducted by French coroners within hours of the crash. Independent forensic experts, including Dr. Peter Vanesis of the University of Glasgow, who reviewed the autopsy report, had harsh criticisms of the post mortem on numerous technical grounds.

The ITV report revealed that the forensic tests also showed a near-lethal level of carbon monoxide as well. EIR has independently learned that it was a separate toxicological test on Paul's blood sample, that revealed a carbon monoxide level of more than 30% at the time of the crash.

Yet, Dodi Fayed had no carbon monoxide in his blood. Is it possible that Paul could have had high levels of alcohol, traces of two prescription drugs, and toxic levels of carbon monoxide in his blood at the moment of the crash, and yet Fayed had no carbon monoxide present? Not if the carbon monoxide was inside the passenger cabin of the Mercedes.

Furthermore, if Paul had been somehow poisoned with carbon monoxide sometime prior to getting behind the wheel of the Mercedes, experts interviewed by ITV say he would have shown obvious signs, such as dizziness, loss of balance, loss of depth perception, and an unbearable, throbbing pain in his temple. Security camera video footage of Paul, taken in the lobby of the Ritz Hotel between 9 p.m. and midnight, and aired in the ITV documentary, clearly showed that Paul had none of the tell-tale signs of being drunk or suffering from the effects of carbon monoxide.

In a live television interview, aired one hour after the ITV broadcast, the documentary's host, Nicholas Owen, stated that he believed that the blood sample used in the post mortem was probably not taken from Paul. There were a dozen other corpses in the Paris city morgue at the time that Paul was brought in. This startling conclusion by Owen, adds further weight to EIR's charge that the French police--as distinct from chief investigating Magistrate Stephan--have been running a vicious cover-up of the events surrounding the crash.

The ITV documentary also cited several eyewitness accounts that a powerful burst of light inside the tunnel, seconds before the crash, may have blinded Paul. Owen showed a commercially produced anti-personnel laser, that he purchased in a Paris shop for $300, to buttress the possibility that such a device was used in the vehicular attack.

EIR Counterintelligence Director Jeffrey Steinberg appeared along with Owen and a half-dozen other investigators and expert analysts on the nationally televised interview show. Details of that broadcast and the vortex of media controversy, sparked by the ITV show and a second documentary, aired on June 4 on Channel Four TV in Britain, will appear in a forthcoming EIR (see also, the Editorial in this issue).

In a move that promises to raise even more questions about what happened in the Paris tunnel on Aug. 31, 1997, Magistrate Stephan convened an extraordinary group interrogation, or "confrontation," on June 5, at the Justice Ministry in Paris. Mohamed Al Fayed, Dodi's father and a civil party to the case, was invited to participate, as were a dozen eyewitnesses to the crash. The nine paparazzi who stand to be prosecuted for manslaughter and interference in the rescue effort, were also interrogated by Stephan. Details of what took place are not yet available.
