These trashy articles, bereft of even the most simple manifestations of deep politics-informed reasoning and insight, seem designed to deflect attention from the investigation of the "how" of Diana's death and instead shift our focus to the apparently unseemly life, times, and character of Mohammed Al-Fayed.
Mr. Al-Fayed, we are told over and over and over again, is a racist, a cad, an insensitive bigot.
Which tells us what, exactly, about how Diana, Mr. Al-Fayed's son, and their driver were killed?
And it gets worse. The author(s) of this disjointed little smear titillate(s) us with news that, in the next installment, "we will check out Spencer's inconsistent musings about her personal security."
Which will tell us what, exactly, about how "Spencer" was killed?
"Spencer"???
And my oh my, might the use of the word "we" to reference the author(s) of these articles be inadvertently revealing?
All of this is reminiscent of the posthumous assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK. Wittingly or not, the author(s) would advise us, "Relax, the victims aren't worthy of our respect, so there's no good reason to inquire after the circumstances of their deaths."
And it gets worse.
The author(s)' disparagement of assassination investigators prompts his/her/their use of the following rhetorical gems:
"conspiravangelists"
"conspirahypocrite"
"the gaping maw that is the conspiracy-hungry United States"
Sound familiar?
These half-witted, ham-fisted attacks, clearly intended to marginalize and demonize conspiracy research and researchers, are all TOO familiar to those of us who seek truth and justice for John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and, yes, Diana Spencer.
Who in God's name is responsible for these travesties? Moldea? Posner? Russo? Bugliosi?
"Colby"???

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
