Did Princess D die because she was against weapon manufacturers ?
I've been reading about Mossad this week. Mossad is to Israel what CIA is to the US, and M16 is to British. They are one of the strongest intelligence unit in the world
My knowledge on Mossad was limited to Ziva David of NCIS and other random reads, hence I picked up this book called ‘Gideon Spies : The Secret History of the Mossad’ by Gordon Thomas, a Welsh author. His dad was once in charge of M16.
According to Britannica, Mossad was setup in Dec 1949 as a successor to Haganah who was a violent Jewish military force in Palestine (Britain separated Israel and Palestine on 15 May 1948)
This book Gideon’s spies has been a slow read as there are many cross references - but it starts off with Mossad trying to recruit an informer none other than Henri Paul, in the Ritz hotel in Paris.
Henri Paul was the Head of Security in this hotel and had access to every security detail. He was also the trusted driver for very high end celebrities.
On the side he had a wild life drinking, partying, hooking up with prostitutes, popping pills etc. And on the other side, he was getting paid by paparazzi for a tip off on celebrities that showed up.
Mossad’s psychologist intelligence who studied Henri Paul’s behaviors suggested monetary influence as a way to lure him, yet as the days came close to sealing the detail, Henri Paul was quick to discern that it was for an intelligence service. It was later disclosed that he was also secretly working as an informant for M16 and probably the French Intelligence
On August 31, 1997, Diana and Dodi Al Fayed were found dead, alongside their driver - Henri Paul.
I remember hearing my mom saying “they killed her, they killed her” when the news broke out globally.
She wasn’t the only one who thought so. Mohammad Al Fayed, the Egyptian conglomerate owner of Ritz and Harrods and father of Dodi Al Fayed was certain the establishment (Royal family) killed her.
According to him, Diana was 2 months pregnant, and Diana and Dodi were going to announce their engagement. The establishment however and Diana ‘s brother Spencer did not like her dating a Muslim. Nor were they ok with the next King of England William having a Muslim step father.
Mohammed Al Fayed was obsessed on finding out who killed Diana and Dodi and did not believe it was the paparazzi. He recruited people to get the information he needed.
One of them was a former agent Tomlinson who exposed the dirty secrets of M16 and prisoned for 2 years for it. Tomlinson went on to expose all the M16 agents including 12 who were working on Diana and Dodi Al Fayed’s case.
And it gets deeper. Mohammad Al Fayed also heard from this book’s author Gordon Thomas that the US’s NSA was closely monitoring Diana and has 1050 pages of the couple.
How closely ? All their conversations however intimate was gathered by the NSA’s ECHELON satellite
The NSA system also shares these information with other intelligence like M16 in real time.
So why were so many intelligence agencies after them? Other than M16, the rest surely couldn't care less about the monarch.
Right after her divorce from Charles, Diana aggressively launched a campaign to abolish land mines. Neither Clinton’s administration nor London and other European capitals were happy about it.
She was seen as a meddler, and someone who did not understand what she was talking about.
(Except that we know, she knew exactly what she was talking about)
According to this book author's source from Washington “The reality was that the land mine manufacturing industry provided thousands of jobs. No one wanted to see the mines used—but no one wanted people put out of work because Diana had a bee in her bonnet,”
The irony of the Diana’s car accident remains puzzling at large. Diana was still alive during the accident. It took the ambulance almost 2 hours to get her to the hospital. All her internal organs were removed and she was turned into a mummy according to Mohammad Al Fayed. The paparazzi’s photographs that detailed the accident were mostly MIA. The traffic cameras on the highways were also malfunctioning. What are the odds of all information pertaining to the investigation disappearing?
There were many other possible causes of the accident. Either Henri Paul was over stressed, strung on drugs, or a laser beam was flashed onto the driver’s eyes to temporarily blind him. According to the former M16 agent, being blinded while driving through the underpass by a high-powered flash was a common assassination technique used by the M16.
According to the author, from the NSA's Echelon tapes, the couple were talking about marriage and were very much in love. The British spies were able to access these communications.
Henri Paul also installed a bugging device in the Imperial Suite at the Ritz Hotel and had obtained tapes of the “last intimate moments” of Diana and Dodi and became the subject of a hunt by MI6 to locate them.
There were various intelligence agents that were hovering the area 2 weeks prior to their death..
A Mossad report revealed that around August 14/15 1997, a CIA team also arrived in the city. The team had been tracking Diana for some time, keeping tabs on her attacks on land mine manufacturers, many of which are U.S.-based.
According to the Mossad report “a white Fiat Uno passed the top of the street.” The Mossad report states that in the car were two intelligence officers from the French security service, DST. But this was wiped out of record elsewhere.
The Mossad investigation details how the various intelligence services hurriedly left Paris after the deaths of Diana and Dodi.
While Mohammad Al Fayed went to his grave never uncovering what really happened behind the deaths of Diana and Dodi, something surely seems off that night. Likely we will never know what really happened.
On a last note, as I was reading through, the author said this :
“The first lesson I learned during a quarter of a century of writing about secret intelligence is that deception and disinformation are its stock-in- trade, along with subversion, corruption, blackmail, and, sometimes, assassination. Agents are trained to lie and to use and abuse friendships. They are the very opposite of the dictum that gentlemen do not read each other’s mail”
Not the kinda friends you want to get mixed up with I guess
Going through the list of published materials on Wikileaks, Assange surely did piss of many people by exposing all their wrong doings. I am not sure Wikileaks is something Nostr could have, but if it could, it would take away a single point behind it.

awww congratulations ❤️ She's a sweetheart. Big hugs to your wife
Thumbs Up 👍 to Nicaragua for trying. Thumbs down 👎for ICJ
Them :
“I’m mad at Israel and everyone supporting Israel!"
“I’m mad at Palestine! and everyone supporting Palestine!"
Me :
I’m mad at the 1% elite and the weapon industry who control global wars!
we come from different worlds, but our goals remain the same
Yes. Talk is cheap. Often times people romanticise standing up against tyranny. But when evil stares them right in the eye, many will run.
On the bright side, there is a growing group of college kids who are not afraid of the system. They are spreading like wildfire. Their spirit is strong and wild. When these college kids find love in Bitcoin, there is no turning back. We need to be ready.
The Beatnik era started off as an anti-establishment protest against the Vietnam war and eventually spread to people standing up against the elite control of the economy to enable the middle class to step up, and for creativity to thrive in innovation, education, movies, music, fashion. Good things happen when people come together.
On the current reactions fear or flight - in Braveheart, when Mel Gibson screamed holdddd repeatedly, it wasn’t because the people didn’t know the strategy. Everyone knew they needed to wait for the attackers to come as close as possible to use their secret weapons - but as the attackers approached, fight or flight kicks in - so William Wallace reminds the people again and again to hold and resist until the time was right.
Sometimes we need to remind ourself to resist this feeling of fear. It’s not easy. Knowing cops can arrest you at any point, no fancy lawyer, the jurisdiction system is bollocks, and you spend your whole life being a good person only to end up in prison is a terrible feeling to live with. Not to mention the family you are responsible for feeding will suffer. I understand the fear. But the only way to overcome this is if people stood firm together and resist.
A few years back, we marched in my country to protest political ill-doings. They jammed us on the roads, tear gassed us with Black Maria’s trailing - we ran like cockroaches. I freaked out, but a bunch of older people kept walking. They were easily in the 70s. They held my hands and said, ‘let’s keep going’. Why? Because they waited so long for freedom. That courage burns in them.
Large headcount of support will send a strong signal of what the people want, to the gov’t and to everyone.
Some who are not from the US asked why they should fight the US battles for them. Why not ? The problem was never about the people anywhere in the world - it was always about the system and the gov’ts. If anything, resisting the most influential govt will create the biggest breakthrough. But this can only happen if everyone sticks together, have a strategy, resist fear and keep going.
In the US Declaration of Independence, it says “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” . This declaration was not about how the people must function but how the govt needs to function . People must not forget this. Govt must not forget this.
You rightfully hinted at the fear that’s spreading like domino. In the Art of War, Sun Tzu shares how “moral law” needs to be enforced to ensure the people followed the ruler without questioning the authority. And the method and discipline for that to happen is by executing the team leads so that people will fear and start to obey. This sounds all too familiar. Which means - this is war.
We need strategy. We need courage. Many will need to be reminded to stay even though they know they should. We need to be ready for the young strong and wild spirits when they join in.
We have to resist tyranny, whomever they are, wherever they are. How we come out of this depends on how strong we stick together.
That's incredible, I can't do what you are doing and i think its pretty amazing. I am a serial tasker, full focus and jump from one completed job to another hence it was very confusing at first. This was the first time I am working with someone with ADHD and the work flow is absolutely the opposite - but no compromise on quality, if anything its way better. The prof I work with has several masters degrees in various engineering field and highly accomplishment, has a happy family with daughters who are probably older than me. I think its also about your surrounding and how adaptive people are in bringing out the best in you instead of imposing their style on you.
working with an ivy league prof who had ADHD on a project, and its been fairly interesting. He is old, super smart, has several degrees but only focuses on what he can derive based on logic. Just last night we had a long meeting on a bunch of things he needs to work on and he says he sees it all like fireworks. He finds it easier to listen via audio instead of reading a paper or a book. And he works on everything in parallel. It's very interesting. He said he went on meds but it zapped the life out of him so he quit that and is just living with it. If I don't work with him closely I won't be able to notice the patterns
i'm really glad to hear that, hope this passes soon
oh boy. I hope your kid gets back home in time and everyone is safe
Some Sunday reads :
I've been curious on the benefits of fasting and the impact on your body and hormone balances.
1. Autophagy is an interesting concept of fasting that benefits the body by eating up your junk cell/old cell and promote new cell growth.
Sugar, dairy and caffeine can block autophagy, hence might be best to just maintain hydration and electrolytes during this fasting period. Nobody really knows the time required for autophagy to kick in, but most suggest >12 hrs , the longer the better.
2. Fasting for women might be slightly different based on menstrual cycle. For example :
Day 1 - Day 10 :
Rise of Estrogen. Fast like a Queen, prolong fasting works best here.
Day 11 - Day 15
Fertile period - ovulation starts at day 14. Estrogen peaks and slows down, progesterone increases. The recommended fasting period I’ve seen here is <15 hours a day
Day 16 - Day 19
This is the rise of progesterone. Some say fast as you please but I’d be wary as if your progesterone is low, you can trigger a higher chance of being insulin resistance.
Day 20 - period
Peak progesterone and rapid decline. This is your no fast zone.
3. Balancing hormones do wonders.
Estrogen improve your skin smoothness. Too much estrogen leads to cysts, fibrosis, cancer cells, weight gain etc.
Progesterone is also called your calming hormone. Pregnancy emotions are due to higher estrogen. PMS - pre menstrual syndrome happens on your week before menstruation as progesterone is on rapid decline.
Progesterone also crave sugar which is why we crave chocolate etc during this phase but risky as it it goes below estrogen, it can trigger insulin resistance. Food that are best here are your Omega 3 rich food and good fats.
4. As I was reading on autophagy and hormones, here’s one on releasing happy hormones :
Endorphin - Exercise everyday to release endorphins. Other than the well-being benefits, it gives from a "high" from the workouts and feeling relaxed and an optimist.
Dopamine - Cross off some items of your to-do list. If you are paralysed on a particular job, do something else - you will get a sense of accomplishment and also have satisfaction and motivation.
Seratonin - Do something nice for someone. The act of giving boosts Seratonin which is a hormone that influences learning, memory, happiness, sleep, sexual behavior, hunger. Not enough of it leads to depression, anxiety, mania etc.
Oxytocin - hug someone today. Or head to Nostr conference and hug everyone irl. The touch releases oxytocin which can reduce stress and anxiety.
5. Insulin resistance, estrogen dominance are all interesting read and can help you prevent a lot of unnecessary issues.
6. Men produce estrogen and progesterone as well, and women produce testosterone. The ratio of each is diff between men and women.
7. Then there is something on mTor and activating testosterone in men through high impact exercise. I don’t know enough but I read that it’s day and night compared to autophagy and while both are good, it has to be done at diff times for best impact
I am not a doctor, these are through online reads and videos and summarised, but I have always been curious on ways to hack health. Feel free to share your input if you have more info.
