Diana’s death - accident or conspiracy?

Posted by: Avril Ormsby
Tags: Uncategorized

Paris crash tunnelPrincess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi al-Fayed died after their car crashed into a pillar in a Paris road tunnel. Their chauffeur, Henri Paul, had been drinking and was driving at speed in an attempt to escape the chasing paparazzi.

Despite the crash occurring 10 years ago, speculation has continued to surround the events of that August evening.

The most commonly reported conspiracy, espoused by al-Fayed’s father Mohamed, is that Diana and Dodi were murdered by British secret agents on the orders of the royal family because they were engaged to be married and she was pregnant. Alternatively, they were killed by rogue agents, operating without their handlers’ knowledge.

What do you think? Was it a straightforward, but tragic, accident, or were other powers at work?

Do you support another conspiracy theory that Diana had to die because her anti-land mine campaign had antagonised major armaments consortiums, defence contractors and some governments?

Or was it an attempt by Diana to fake her own death to escape media intrusion — a ruse that went terribly wrong? Do you have another theory?

I think Princess Diane died because her driver was intoxicated and was driving to fast.

British Conspiracy or rogue agents hired by Charles. It was just too coincidental.

I am just a comman wife and was very astonished by the Princes death. At one time I did think someone close to Prince Charles may have been hired to destroy the Princes out of loyalty to the Prince but as the years went by and time went on I am not so sure Charles had any thing to do with it. It does not make sense. Charles got what he wanted. So why would he be even bothered.? I had a lot of respect for Princes Dianna and what she acomplised as a mother and a Woman. She had a lot of respect from alot of people around the world. I hope Dianna is a rest knowing how well her boys are doing. Rest in Peace Diana. I know Jesus is with you.

As a Medical Technologist, I was working the nite shift at the hospital the night Diana died. I had lived at the Ritz for two weeks in the fall of 1981; everything I had asked them to do for me always exeeded my expectations. They would not let an intoxicated man drive for a client. Diana’s bodyguards, being professionals, would not let a drunk drive either. The Pastis that Henri drank is usually served very diluted (like Absinthe) and since the average human body will metabolize an ounce of alcohol an hour; he couldn’t have drank enough to get a blood alcohol that high, by casual drinking. The excessive carbon momoxide in the sample indicates tampering. He doesn’t look drunk to me in the Ritz video. The amount of alcohol it takes to get a negative sample up to 0.18 is the amount of alcohol that will fit into a one inch 24 gauge needle.(about a drop) Didn’t Camilla have a “strange” auto accident also, when she was perceived as a “threat”? So did some other “military types” ? “Boston brakes” as they call it? As far as I know the French have as good (if not better) health care services as we do here in the US. Impact injuries are complicated and require immediate attention. Minutes count. Every EMT knows this. Someone ordered the delay. The “to stabilize” excuse is bullshit. They wanted her to bleed out. They waited; she did. Also there seems to be several individuals that knew about a “high profile hit” coming, several weeks in advance. If you believe this was an “accident” let me tell you our story about “A man in a building that shot a man in a car”. Why does it take more than ten years to investigate a “drink-drive” accident? Sorry; THIS WAS MURDER. And Henri Paul has been framed. Neal E Trickel MT(ASCP) Monroe, WI USA p.s. I have visited the UK; you have a great country filled with good people. Don’t let the “intelligence goons” take control like they have here. You can see now why we have such a mess!!
