Mohamed Al Fayed Paid Millions To Egyptian Spies Trying To Uncover the Truth About the Death of His Son Dodi and Princess Diana in Paris Car Crash

Lately, a lot has been published about the alleged sex crimes of late Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, accused of having raped, sexually abused or harassed hundreds of female employees.

But there’s another side to the billionaire Egyptian-born businessman: the bereaved father, desperately engaged in a quest for information about the death of his eldest son Dodi Al-Fayed and the ‘People’s Princess’ Diana in a Paris car crash in August 1997.

Now, a report shows that Al-Fayed paid Egyptian secret service agents millions for information about the death of Dodi and Diana.

He spent his last decade sending cash to Egyptian agents in London, expecting to obtain secret intelligence about the controversial crash.

The Telegraph reported:

“Sources say he hoped to receive confirmation from Egyptian secret service operatives of his belief that the British intelligence services had a hand in the fatal crash in the Alma tunnel.

Fayed had grown convinced that the British establishment feared the idea of Dodi, an Egyptian, as a possible stepfather to the future king.

At one stage, he told an Egyptian secret service agent that he knew the British intelligence services had killed the pair because they feared the possibility of the couple having a child who would be ‘a Muslim brother to the future king’.”

Nearly 800 infant remains found in septic tank at nun-run Irish unwed mother and baby home

Crews in Ireland began work this week to excavate the site of a former church-run home for unmarried women and their babies to identify the remains of around 800 infants and young children who died there.

Many of the remains were found in a septic tank, according to authorities. 

The backstory:

The long-awaited excavation at the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway in western Ireland, is part of a reckoning in an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country with a history of abuses in church-run institutions.

The home, which was run by an order of Catholic nuns and closed in 1961, was one of many such institutions that housed tens of thousands of orphans and unmarried pregnant women who were forced to give up their children throughout much of the 20th century.

In 2014, historian Catherine Corless tracked down death certificates for nearly 800 children who died at the home in Tuam between the 1920s and 1961 — but could only find a burial record for one child.

Finding a mass grave

Dig deeper:

Investigators later found a mass grave containing the remains of babies and young children in an underground sewage structure on the grounds of the home. DNA analysis found that the ages of the dead ranged from 35 weeks gestation to 3 years.

A major inquiry into the mother-and-baby homes found that in total, about 9,000 children died in 18 different mother-and-baby homes, with major causes including respiratory infections and gastroenteritis, otherwise known as the stomach flu.

Rangers working to ID two campers found dead at Isle Royale National Park

The National Park Service is working to identify two campers who were found dead within Isle Royale National Park early Monday morning.

Responding to multiple reports of bodies found in the park on Sunday afternoon, park rangers hiked more than ten miles throughout the night to a remote location and made the discovery.

An NPS spokesperson said the deceased were found at a backcountry campground within the park. It’s still unclear exactly where the bodies were located and the identities and causes of death of both people are unknown at this point.

As a part of their investigation, officials are using both ground and air resources.

Isle Royale National Park is located within Lake Superior, and is made up of hundreds of different islands, including Isle Royale, which is technically part of Michigan but is closer to Minnesota’s North Shore.

It is known for its rugged terrain and isolated location, popular with adventure-loving hikers and paddlers.

Dead Body Found in L.A. Riot Zone

Those “mostly peaceful” leftist protests in Los Angeles are not only violent, but they also have reportedly turned deadly.

Close to businesses looted in downtown L.A. by the radical leftist protesters whom Democrat California officials and media are defending, a dead body was found. Details have yet to be released, but the corpse was found in the midst of an area that was trashed by the anti-ICE, anti-Trump rioters.

The shocking story about the dead body comes after Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom sued Trump and the Department of Defense for taking over and sending in the California National Guard to deal with the increasingly violent and dangerous riots in the Los Angeles area. Newsom, who has broken multiple federal laws, arrogantly challenged the administration to arrest him.

Now it appears the riots might have cost at least one person‘s life. KTLA5 L.A. reported on the few details released and explained that the investigation into the cause of death is ongoing:

Police were called to the area of West 3rd Street and Broadway shortly after 1:30 a.m., where they found the unresponsive man, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to KTLA.

Video showed investigators at the scene standing next to the man, who was lying on his back wearing a red sweatshirt.

The intersection where the body was found included a T-Mobile store that the insane rioters looted.

Mysterious Cattle Deaths Baffle Colorado Rancher & Authorities

A macabre mystery involving the death of over a dozen cattle in a single day has stumped a Colorado rancher and state authorities investigating the case. The eerie incident reportedly occurred on May 8th at a property near the community of Coal Creek. That now-unforgettable day began when rancher Kerri Higgs and her husband discovered that a trio of cattle had inexplicably perished overnight. Concerned about the rest of their herd, they moved the remaining animals closer to an area near their home for observation. It was then that things took a weird and rather gruesome turn. “They started flopping over and dying,” Higgs recalled, “it was pretty bad.”

All told, the couple lost 15 cattle that fateful day, which prompted an exhaustive investigation by authorities that has come up short so far. To that end, tests of rainwater ingested by the animals, the soil where they roamed, and even the air around and above the property all produced no clues as to what could have killed so many creatures in such a short time. Blood tests from one of the downed cattle also only furthered the mystery. “We’re not getting any conclusive results,” Mykel Kroll of the county’s Office of Emergency Management explained, “we’re running out of boxes to check,” which has left authorities “scratching our heads.”

The futility of the investigation has understandably dismayed Higgs, who lamented that “it’s beyond frustrating.” Beyond the baffling nature of the incident, the cost of losing so many animals at once has devastated the ranch as each perished heifer was valued at around $5,000 or a staggering $60,000 total. While authorities pledged to continue investigating the case, samples from the downed cattle are beginning to dwindle, which raises the possibility that the mystery may never be solved. “Maybe we don’t find out the cause” of the curious event, Kroll conceded, musing “are there always answers? No.” For her part, Higgs acknowledged this dispiriting scenario, indicating that she “won’t be surprised” if the matter remains punctuated by a maddening question mark.

Third Teen Death in National Forest Alarms: Two High Schoolers Found Shot on Camping Trip

The tragic deaths of high school students Pandora Kjolsrud and Evan Clark have gripped the community, with their lives cut short in Tonto National Forest, Arizona. Both teenagers were found shot near Mount Ord, north of Mesa, and authorities have confirmed the investigation as a homicide. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office remains tight-lipped on the specifics, yet the gravity of the situation has left an indelible mark.

Arcadia High School students Kjolsrud and Clark were simply on a camping trip when their lives were tragically ended. This incident marks the second and third teenager deaths in the area since February. Earlier, the remains of 14-year-old Emily Pike were discovered, adding another layer of mystery and concern to the sequence of events.

Emily Pike’s disappearance from a group home in January ended with the grim discovery of her dismembered body. The distance of over 70 miles from her last known location to where she was found is chilling. Her case, still under investigation by the FBI and local law enforcement, has yet to see any arrests.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has not linked Pike’s case with the recent deaths of Kjolsrud and Clark. However, the community is on edge, yearning for answers and justice. Families are left to grapple with loss and the haunting questions that accompany such tragedies.

A GoFundMe campaign for Kjolsrud’s family highlights her vibrant spirit and the joy she spread. Her infectious smile left a lasting impact on those who knew her. The fundraiser paints a picture of a young woman who made everyone feel special, a testament to her remarkable character.

Evan Clark, remembered fondly by his mother, wasn’t your typical teenager. His entrepreneurial spirit and sensitivity set him apart. The touching letter he wrote to his mother on Mother’s Day is a poignant reminder of the depth of his love and the promise of a future now lost.

The community’s call for answers is echoed in the voices of those who knew and loved the teenagers. The proximity of this tragedy has left many feeling vulnerable and yearning for closure. The question of what happened that fateful day looms large in the hearts of those affected.

Two Teenagers Found Shot Dead in Arizona National Forest

Sheriff’s officials in Arizona are investigating the deaths of two high school students found in a national forest outside Phoenix after they failed to return from a Memorial Day camping trip.

Both had died from gunshot wounds, according to KNXV-TV, which cited the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

And both were being mourned by their families and their school community.

Pandora Kjolsrud, 18, was described by her mother in a message to KNXV-TV as “a bright light in this world who loved every single person she met and had an unusual ability to make every person she met feel special and loved. She was a friend to many and a beloved daughter. She lived life in a big way and was always up for an adventure.”

The other teen has been identified by family and friends as 17-year-old Evan Clark.

In an interview with KSAZ-TV, a co-worker of Clark’s called the deaths a “tragedy.”

“You just cherish all the memories and the laughs,” the co-worker said.  “His life was cut very short, and so was Pandora’s. They were very young, and it was just so sudden and a tragedy that you wouldn’t even imagine.”

A classmate of Clark’s told the station “it doesn’t really feel real.”

“I was just in class with him, not even a week ago,” the classmate said.

White House: Bondi to Release Files on Alleged Clinton ‘Conspiracy’ Deaths

The White House has announced that Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to release files concerning deaths linked to the Clintons. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Bondi’s commitment to this decision, highlighting her history of keeping promises. The announcement follows a recent video shared by Donald Trump on Truth Social, which delves into the “Clinton Body Count” conspiracy theory.

Trump’s video suggests that over 50 individuals tied to the Clintons have died under suspicious circumstances. While conspiracy theorists have long speculated on this topic, the claims remain largely unproven. Trump’s decision to share such inflammatory content raises questions, but his actions are often unpredictable.

The video even speculates that Hillary Clinton was involved in JFK Jr.’s plane crash, allegedly to clear her path to the New York Senate seat. While such claims might seem outlandish, the high number of deaths surrounding the Clintons raises eyebrows. Some of the deceased were reportedly poised to testify against the Clintons, which adds a layer of suspicion.

Psychology Today has noted that conspiracy theories often stem from cognitive biases, like confirmation bias. This means people tend to believe narratives that align with their existing beliefs. Given Trump’s longstanding disdain for the Clintons, it’s not surprising that he would entertain such theories.

A common factor in believing conspiracy theories is a deep mistrust of authorities. Trump, having faced significant scrutiny from the left, might find it easy to mistrust those in power. However, airing these accusations without concrete evidence can be problematic.

While Trump has every right to voice his opinions, making unsubstantiated claims during his presidency is contentious. If he presents solid evidence supporting his claims, the narrative could shift dramatically. Until then, the theory remains speculative.

In the realm of politics, distrust and skepticism are not uncommon. Trump’s supporters may see his actions as a brave challenge to a system they feel is biased. However, critics argue that such statements without proof are reckless.

The Clintons have been a focal point for various conspiracy theories over the years. This latest wave of allegations is just another chapter in a long history of speculation. The promised release of files by Attorney General Bondi might shed light on these mysterious deaths.

Beloved gay porn star, Colton Ford, found dead at 62 after mysterious hiking accident

A beloved gay porn star, Glenn Soukesian, better known as Colton Ford, was found dead in a mysterious hiking accident outside Palm Springs, California, authorities confirmed.

Ford, 62, was found dead Monday night on the Goat Trails in the California desert oasis, according to the Bay Area Reporter.

Police found his remains on Monday after his friends had reported him missing when he failed to return from a hike the day before.

Ford, from Pasadena, was a silver fox success story, launching his 22-year adult film career at the age of 40, according to Out magazine.

He worked with studios including MRS Releasing, RawF—kClub, All Worlds, Mustang, and Falcon Studios.

“He was a brilliant artist who always kept a song in his heart …Sweet, funny, kind, sassy – and hopelessly handsome,” Ford’s friend Tim Wood wrote on Facebook.

Ford had been a recording artist before his porn career, working with Denise Rich’s production company MIDE Productions as well as Virgin Records.

Tech exec found ‘pulverized,’ missing a foot after plunging 20 stories from luxe Chicago condo — and nobody has been charged

A Chicago tech executive was found “pulverized” and missing a foot in a stairwell of the luxury condo building where she lived with her husband, her heartbroken family has revealed — and now they’re fighting for justice.

Caitlin Tracey, 36, died from “multiple injuries” and a “fall from height” after plummeting more than 20 stories down a stairwell at her South Loop building, the Cook County medical examiner ruled.

However, the manner of her death was left “undetermined,” and there have been no charges filed in Tracey’s gruesome demise.

Her husband, Adam Beckerink, 46, a well-known Chicago tax attorney, was charged last month with battering her in her hometown of New Buffalo, Michigan, in January and August 2024. He’s also accused of assaulting cops who tried to arrest him, according to FOX 32.

Beckerink was detained and questioned by Chicago police after he filed a missing persons report for Tracey before her body was found on Oct. 27, but he was later released without charges.

“He had nothing to do with his wife’s death, and he will continue to appear in court. And we will continue to speak through our filings in court on his behalf,” Beckerink’s attorney told local media in March.

Tracey’s family is pushing to keep attention on the case.

Attorneys hired by her loved ones told Fox 32 in March that her body was “pulverized” and her foot was severed in the fall.

Her grieving parents were embroiled in a legal dispute earlier this year over the handling of her remains after Beckerink claimed he had the rights to her body as the surviving spouse.

The parents eventually won custody of her remains, which they brought back to Michigan.

Beckerink, previously a partner at corporate law firm Duane Morris, was fired after the domestic abuse allegations surfaced.
