Death Of A Courageous Citizen
Mohamed Al-Fayed, whose son Dodi was murdered with Princess Diana, has Passed.
Al-Fayed would have been an interesting person to meet. Most people at that level of wealth keep quiet no matter what is inflicted upon them. Not Al-Fayed. He never backed down.
Rest In Peace, Sir.

His considerable business successes included owning fabled UK department store Harrods, the Ritz Hotel in Paris, and the Fulham Football Club in the UK.
But those accomplishments are almost overshadowed by his relationship with Princess Diana, who died in a car crash Aug. 31, 1997, with Al-Fayed’s son, Dodi, with whom she was in a relationship.

In the years following the crash, Al-Fayed weathered criticism in the UK for claiming that the accident was a murder ordered by the Royal Family and British Intelligence, who acted because the couple was to be married.
[“weathered criticism” is an interesting choice of phrase. The British People darn well know that Lady Di was murdered. The “criticism” came from the monarchy and those under its control, as illustrated by the next sentence in the article:]
The crash, allegedly caused by a high-speed attempt to avoid paparazzi, was extensively investigated without any evidence of Al-Fayed’s allegations.
[As usual, the perpetrators investigate themselves, and declare they are innocent. The subservient media pretends the rabid snake is benevolent, just as they pretend they are].

[Not to get off-track, but slop irritates me:]
Mohamed Al-Fayed, whose world-spanning business career touched lives in Hollywood, Paris, London and his native Egypt, died Thursday, Aug. 30, at 94.

[Genuine factchecking is important. So is basic math. For the record, Al-Fayed was born in 1929, not 1922.]
One of the problems with online publications is that they can fix their mistakes, and alter their made-up stories to better fit The Official Narrative, and few will notice the slight-of-hand. In this case, Deadline fixed their faux pas the day after the original “publication”, with no mention of the correction/alteration. It illustrates my preference for newsprint, where a commitment is made to the publication's output. When mistakes are made a printed correction sometimes follows. Online outlets are more akin to publishing with an Etch-A-Sketch.
