Media intrusion: Fact or fiction
So, outside of necessary publicity required to reach ones chosen goal, WHO has tipped off the press about certain meetings held by the McCanns? WHY is it necessary to broadcast that they had a meeting with this or that organisation, when it could be a private research matter, and of no consequence to the general public? WHy did they not ask their family, in the early stages, not to speak to the media? Why give family the go-ahead to pass on info of an alleged deal offered by PJ? And so on...
All of this makes no sense in the light of the McCanns saying that it is not too late for an abductor to "do the right thing". Who could possibly hand over a child in such a circumstance, knowing the scale of the media frenzy that would ensue? Surely, one would conduct all this in a much more covert way, attempt to achieve ones goal by stealth.
After all, you wouldn't go deer stalking whilst playing the bagpipes! And for Leveson not to mention or acknowledge in any meaningful way, that two unknowns whipped up a media storm themselves, by design, deliberately, is to deal a very unbalanced hand to the media. Sure the media can be sensationalist and go too far but EVERYONE knows that is a possibility when they make a decision to thrust themselves into the limelight or try and use the press for their own objectives. You can't have what you want exclusively on your own terms, the world doesn't operate like that. It is all cause and affect, every action has a reaction...
It seems like when things don't go according to plan, the media becomes the scapegoat for it all, and the "victims" could be argued to be able to sue for big bucks, those whom they have "entrapped" for want of a better word. It's sort of like an exotic dancer, parading about in the faces of paying spectators, who then accuses of assault one who has the temerity to pinch her bum!

I use this example, because imo she was a very disturbed and also narcissistic young woman. No doubt she loved her sons but not to the extend that she bothered to explain the Panorama interview to them before it was aired. The housemaster of the boys asked her to do so and finally had to insist she come down to Eton to speak to them, as the housemaster knew it would be a devastating blow to them.
She phoned the press from Kensington Palace once, to tell them she was on her way to a hospice to sit with a man dying from AIDS.
If you do that sort of thing, you have no right to complain of press harassment.
TM should know that the press isn't a dog you can call off at will. So far I'd say the balance has been in their favour, I'm waiting for the trial in Lisbon, are they going to be there in person? Because it was rather disastrous last time.

If she'd worn a seat belt, surely a simple thing to do especially with the wild way the chauffeur drove , she would not have died. I didn't like the way she'd be photographed one day with the 'standard' dying African baby and the next day on one of her many holidays. Doing good is work, like Audrey Hepburn did for Unesco.
But the public likes the 'story' better than the truth, as with the McCanns, I don't think it was a conspiracy as such with them, politics, definitely.
The McCann 'story' has politicians' footprints all over it, short term gain, long term damage.

Have to disagree here, tigger, sorry! i wasn't a fan of Diana in any way shape or form but for an ambulance to take so long to get the two miles to a hospital? I have read a couple of books on this and, like her or not, there is something very off about the way she died, IMHO

There was certainly no evidence that he was drunk from the CCTV footage of him at the Ritz Hotel. This is just one of several oddities which make me suspicious.
Hi Jean, yes I've read that. Henri Paul was known to be a health freak and was not known to be on any medications.
It also has to be remembered, the footage of him deftly going down onto his respective haunches to tie his shoe laces! No 'drunk' could do that... Worse still at 'his' autopsy his blood carbon monoxide level was such that he would have been unconscious, certainly unable to function at all.
There is much to be suspicious of here.
There is also the David Kelly-esque 'suicide' of paparazzi photographer James Andanson whose offices were 'burgled' just after the crash. Suicide on a remote mountain top, locking himself in his car and setting it on fire - pull the other one, its got bells on...
Conspiracies only abound when the OFFICIAL version contradicts some or most of what the public have witnessed. That is why, 14 years on, this is still running.
I have no doubt after all my research, Diana and Dodi were bumped off - for various reasons we will never hear about, officially, that is...

How would an organised hit know who would/would not wear their seat belt? The car also displayed a braking problem which is common with that model (I trained to be a Merc technician). They took the car with the warning light displayed probably believing it was a faulty service light.. Nobody should drive a car displaying a braking problem period, let alone get involved in a high speed chase. Although brakes were not given as a cause, I think it highlights how reckless the driver had become that night.
Have you heard the saying 'horses for courses' Pershing? Organised hits aredesigned with a person and plan in mind. Do you not think they wouldve known the habits of the people involved? That seat-belt wearing is not the norm for them? Besides, it all sounds very Disney - wear your belt and survive. Well people die with belts... The injuries Diana herself sustained, whilst serious, were perfectly fixable - in a hospital with properly trained staff. The ambulance that took two hours even pulled up outside the hospital for fifteen minutes! Why would anyone do that? Make sure she was beyond help, perchance?
How convenient that it was a Merc known for braking problems (considering it was NOT the car OR route that Ritz security had planned). If you trained as a tech you will also know that the 'air bag' reason for the blood carbon monoxide level is a nonsense...
It was worked out that the Merc was travelling around 60 MPH at crash. Not the wild 'media' speeds - the speedo wasn't (can't) jam on 110 either...
Must admit this 'brake light' is new one for me, do you have a link, please?
