Diana "death plot"...media distraction again....before BCCI trial

[cthrumatrix]

So what is it do they want the "sheeple to ignore this time"?

* When does Condi testify before 911 commission?

* Doesn't the BCCI trial start next week? What a coincidence.

1. I thought that too about Britian

And the Mad Cow scare had a sudden "Terra Alert" distration when Bush/Publican were noted as blocking higher inspection of beef in the USA.

9. Distractions, distractions

why would we pay attention to what fuhrer Bush is doing when we have to be concerned with
gay marriage
mad cow
moveon.org's ad?

2. Everyone knows the Bushies had Diana killed,

so they could use it as a distraction when nesassary

3. Yeah right

4. not here.... just watch the story "fade"....they just want your eyes on

something else...so enjoy the "illusion" of investigative media

5. But I think, even without a distraction, BCCI is too complex

a scandal for most people to even try to wrap their heads around. And once you get a little bit of a handle on it, the implications are so vast, and strike at many cherished presumptions about American institutions, that denial takes over.

And for those on the Left not easily distracted, if your worldview discounts conspiracies, then you'll be disinclined to follow the money and diagram the workings of the Octopus.

6. Exactly

A similar thing happened about a month back when Odette Morris was arrested in relation to her testimony at the original inquest into Roberto Calvi's murder. Most news reports mentioned that he was a banker found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge & at best mentioned a suspected mafia connection. But without the larger picture it's just another dead guy with enemies.

Similarly with BCCI, the reports I've heard will mention the fact that it was a massive bank collapse -- but fail to mention to spook/terrorist/drug money *crucial* aspect to the story.

The opening of the Diana inquest was bound to be a big story, because the girl can guarantee headlines even from her grave. Plus there's the "revelation" that she suspected Charles of plotting against her, & the fact that John Stevens has been called upon to reinvestigate the crash.

7. Diana is quite the opposite

If she was killed by the royal family to prevent a brown baby.

I think the secret services of britain killed her, and it is right to have an inquiry, as too much funny stuff has emerged, especially her own awareness of this very interest in killing her as she wrote in letters before.

The royal family and the bLiar establishment want to discredit this inquiry, when most british citizens smell a fish.

Though it may be being used as a distraction on the western side of the pond, it is a just inquiry in britain that makes all the bad guys nervous.

8. I'm agnostic regarding the events of Diana's death, but

I know enough to believe an inquiry is warranted.

10. It's just another media fart-fest

The UK media has only just got over the sickly sweet "We luv U Di"
vomit regurgitated on the anniversary of her death. I'm really not
looking forward to wading through several pages of Diana-related crap
each time I open a newspaper.

She did a few "good" things, she did a few "bad" things and she was
a gullible little puppet for the media to play with. It didn't stop
with her death (indeed, it just became more lucrative).

Any time the media needs a little smokescreen, up pops something from
the Diana archive ... dear old Paul Burrell flogs something else, yet
another ex-shagger "reveals" some love letters, Sir Sidney Brown-Knob
the butler speaks out or little Fanny Adams the charlady suddenly
remembers a vital aside that dear old Di let drop in confidence.

Loads of important news items are going to slip under the radar on
each and every occasion that this subject makes a return. If people
think that sacking Jo Moore et al will prevent the government from
using big stories to "bury bad news" then they are at best naive and
at worst wilfully ignorant.

OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson, Diana Spencer, "Reality TV", ...
pure dribble mass-produced for the brain-dead masses.

11. Diana's death may well be conneced to the BCCI affair

She appears to be one of few in those circles who believed in the importance of morality - it may have been her intention to expose wrongdoings of some of the people in power.

12. you mean like not sleeping with other women's husbands?

13. Dodi's Fayed's uncle was Adnan Khashoggi,

a longtime player in gunrunning, narcotics trade and moneylaundering, and deeply enmeshed in the BCCI story.

Diana was almost certainly oblivious to the Fayed family intrigue. If her death was not accidental, it was most likely triggered by her rumoured pregnancy by Fayed, and not merely because he was a Muslim.

From the new edition of The Octopus: Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro:

"Recall that Casolaro had only days left to live when he took his friend Ben Mason down into his basement and proudly showed him several photocopied pages documenting contra arms transfers involving Khashoggi and a partner, Manucher Ghorbanifar, as well as the copies of BCCI checks drawn on Khashoggi's accounts. Mason later reported that Casolaro was elated over a source he was about to meet in West Virginia, someone Casolaro described to Virginia McCullough as being involved in guns-and-drugs transfers. And, of course, Casolaro had told his fellow hotel guest, Mike Looney, that he was meeting with an Arab.

"... Khashoggi, Gorbanifar and journalist/Israeli foreign adviser Amiram Nir attempted to persuade (Australian tycoon and Mohammed Al Fayed adversary Tony) Rowland to join the Iran-contra effort by helping sell arms to Iran.... It seems very likely that Casolaro knew about this alliance between Dodi Fayed's maternal uncle, Khashoggi, and his father's bitter enemy, Rowland.

...

"The amount of attention and detail Casolaro brought to all this parahistory remains lost in the accordion file that disappeared after his death...."
