Conspiracy Theorists Unite!!!

[Brookie]

So, there's a couple of new Di photos, taken moments before the crash, looking inside the front of the Mercedes and taken from the front of the car. Maybe I haven't researched this enough, but who took those photos?

A photographer called Jacques Langevin took those pics but he claims they were taken in front of the Ritz and not in the tunnel while the car was driving. But I guess you can't really tell from the pictures.

If you were going to believe in a full-on 9-11 conspiracy, wouldn't it make more sense to think that Cheney was the Evil Mastermind and that Bush was the Incredible Imbecile Puppet, who was put in place to take the fall?

Going to the Diana conspiracies, I do wonder why they are so bent on making Henri Paul look like a blubbering drunk, when the video of them leaving shows him quite clearly within his faculties. He was bounding up the stairs, two at a time, and didn't look/act/sound drunk at all. How then could he be twice the legal limit, "grotesquely impaired", ten minutes later? I'm thinking he had a few drinks, but that the accident was just an accident, fueled by excessive speed. He probably lost control with all those little buzzing motorbikes all around them, not to mention the flashbulbs popping.

Of course, there is the mysterious little white car that disappeared right after.

I certainly feel that the entire truth about 9/11 is not known, but I don't know what to believe, really. I am actually thankful that there are conspiracy theorists who are willing to speak out and say what they think happened. Hopefully the truth will work its way out someday.

As far as Diana, I DO indeed believe that there is some kind of major cover up going on. I can't go out on the limb that the Royal family had her offed, but I can say that the whole thing is extremely fishy.
Yes, Henri Paul had very few drinks that night as witnesses described, and it's been proven (I think) that either his blood sample was tampered with or misreported. I also think that it's interesting that there are such different stories about whether she and Dodi were engaged, and whether she was pregnant. Had it been a simple "wrong place, wrong time" accident, I think there wouldn't be quite so many major inconsistencies and different stories about what happened. And yeah, that little white Fiat...

And, to don my tinfoil hat, I do believe that aliens landed in Roswell and that is a major cover-up/conspiracy by the government. Why they haven't come back, I don't know, but I am also thankful for that. ;D

My BIL is Mr. Conspiracy Theory. He's all about the illuminati and the idea that AIDS was created to kill Black people. He also watches videos by some guy who believes that shows like Stargate are a way to program people to prepare for space travel (or something like that).

Was that David Icke? He is the ultimate conspiracy theorist. I was looking up something on You Tube a while back and ended up watching a bunch of Icke's videos. His strangest conspiracy theory is that there is a population of lizard people who are able to shapeshift and have been secretly running the world and are either members of Illuminati and/or everyone who attends the yearly Bilderberg conference. I can't help thinking anyone who truly believes in that conspiracy has got to be nuts.

Didn't South Park have an episode about the lizard people? It's scary that there's some people who actually believe that.

Not singling you out in particular, but I was wondering why there are conspiracy theories surrounding Diana's death? There was already the heir & spare to ensure succession, and the divorce had been finalized for years by then. Had she ever advocated ending the monarchy? Considering her popularity, if she was a republican then that's about the only reason I can imagine the Royal family wanting her dead.

One theory I remember reading, and I am pretty sure that Dodi's dad supports, is that the Royals were extremely upset at the mother of the King-to-be was going to marry a (gasp) Muslim/man of middle eastern descent and possibly have a child with him. That was too much for them to be able to handle. I think another theory was just that she was so popular and beloved that she made Charles and Camilla and the Queen all look bad, so they wanted to get rid of her. To add to that one, I think the fact that information about her marriage and possible infidelities, and Charles' treatment of her kept leaking out, and she was thought to be unstable and a major liability to the Windsors.
So, some combo of the above. Not saying I believe all or any of the above reasons (I am still trying to figure out what I believe) but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some/all of it was true.
Any British Greecies want to weigh in and let me know what you think?

I've often wondered how many people in power are Yale alumni. The whole secret society where your loyalty is demanded for life (Skull and Bones) and how that can play into politics and big corporations.

Degrassi, your avatar is freaking me out. Eek!

Some people think that Diana was pregnant and the Royals couldn't deal with the fact that the heir to the throne could have a Muslim half-sibling. Even if she wasn't pregnant, some say just the prospect of it was enough. Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Royals or people in their circle were outraged at such a thing. I just don't know if they'd go as far as to kill her though.

The other theory about her just making the Royals look bad is probably true. She was basically still outshining them all years after the divorce - maybe they got fed up of that? Again, not really a good enough reason to kill her, but you never know.

I think she probably had a lot more dirt on the Royal Family than she'd already spilt and, had she lived, they'd always be dreading what she would do/say next. Ironically, if they did kill her then it's kind of backfired. I don't think they expected her to still be the main news story 10 years later. I don't care what this inquest decides, I just want the media to shut up about her.

I'd like to add my theory about Diana's death: Dodi was actually the target to kill. And Diana wasn't supposed to be involved.
Who did it? Not the Royal family, but someone resenting the Al-Fayeds....
