🧵 In Princess Diana's final 24 hours, 17 "coincidences" occurred that remain unexplained to this day.

Was August 31, 1997 a tragic accident or a perfectly orchestrated plan?

MI6 files declassified in 2023 tell a story that will change your perspective forever... Image
Image
📍 August 30, 3:00 PM - Princess
Diana told bodyguard Ken Wharfe: "Something feels different today. They're watching differently."

That same day:

- Regular driver Philippe Dourneau gets "food poisoning"
- Backup security team has "visa issues"
- Henri Paul suddenly called to dutyImage
The Mysterious Henri Paul:

- 10 years at the Ritz
- Off duty, but "urgently" recalled
- Blood test: 1.74g/L alcohol (legal limit: 0.5g/L)

But CCTV shows: Walking perfectly normal, no stumbling

Bar staff: "He only had 2 Ricards"
Henri Paul's bank accounts:

- £170,000 in 14 months (salary: £20,000/year)
- Accounts in 5 different French banks
- Deposits always under £10,000 (reporting threshold)

Source? "Unknown" - French investigation
MI6 connections? "No comment" - British inquiry
The CCTV Blackout:

17 cameras on the route:

- 10 "under maintenance"
- 4 "malfunctioned"
- 3 recordings "overwritten by mistake"

Pont de l'Alma tunnel: Most crucial spot, zero footage
Eiffel Tower cam (perfect angle): "Turned off at 11:45 PM"
The White Fiat Uno:

- 14 witnesses saw it
- Paint traces on Mercedes confirmed
- Driver: "Middle-aged white male"

Police investigation:
- 4,000 Fiat Unos checked
- Driver never found
- Car never located

Fun fact: James Andanson owned a white Fiat Uno - paparazzi who "committed suicide" in 2000
The Missing Communications:

Diana's last 3 hours:
- 17 calls made (phone records "lost")
- Landline call to DC (content "unknown")
- Satellite phone in car (found "destroyed")

British Embassy: "No record of any calls"
NSA files (leaked 2013): "REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED"
The Medical Mystery:

12:23 AM - Crash
1:00 AM - Ambulance arrives
2:06 AM - Reaches hospital (4 miles away!)

Why 1 hour 6 minutes for 4 miles?
"Stabilizing patient" - Official report
"Standard procedure" - French doctors

Fact: JFK reached hospital in 8 minutes after being shot
Dr. Mailliez's Statement:

First doctor on scene: "She was conscious, talking"
Injuries: "Serious but not immediately fatal"

Hospital arrival: Cardiac arrest
Cause? "Internal bleeding that started during transport"

Medical experts: "Unusual progression for her injury type"
The Embalming Scandal:

French law: Embalming illegal without family permission

Diana's body: Embalmed within hours
Who ordered? "Miscommunication"
Why rush? "Preserve dignity"

Effect: Pregnancy tests impossible
Toxicology compromised

UK coroner: "Highly irregular"
The Burrell Letter:

October 1996, Diana wrote to butler Paul Burrell:

"My husband is planning 'an accident' in my car, brake failure and serious head injury..."

Burrell kept quiet until 2003

Palace response: "Diana was paranoid"
Similarity to actual death: "Unfortunate coincidence"
The Landmines Connection:

Week before death: Diana exposed British arms dealers

Plan: Major announcement on September 15
Topic: Secret government contracts

Documents she carried: Never found
Dodi's apartment safe: Emptied before police arrived
Who had access? Cannot determine
The Global Pattern:

Similar "accidents" involving royals/whistleblowers:
- 1943: Duke of Kent (plane crash)
- 1968: Princess Marina (brain hemorrhage)
- 1972: Duke of Windsor (throat cancer)
- 2019: Jeffrey Epstein (suicide)

Common factors: Knew secrets, cameras failed, investigations blocked
2023 Revelations:

Declassified MI6 memo (partial):
"PARIS STATION: Monitor DIANA movements"
"ASSET PAUL: Activated"
"OPERATION [REDACTED]: Green light"

Government: "Routine surveillance for security"
Date on memo: August 29, 1997

You decide.
27 years later, questions remain:

Why did Diana say "They're not going to let me go" hours before?
Why did the Queen strip her security?
Why were her sons told before official confirmation?
Why did 17 cameras fail on one night?
Why is the Fiat driver still missing?

Tragic accident or perfect assassination?

UPDATE: The Bodyguard's Book

Trevor Rees-Jones (sole survivor) wrote a book.
Publishers made him remove 3 chapters.

Content? His lawyers: "Would damage national security"

A bodyguard's memoir = national security risk? 🤔
The Missing Jewelry:

Diana wore a gold bracelet (gift from Dodi).

Hospital inventory: No bracelet
Mortuary records: No bracelet
Funeral preparation: No bracelet

Value: £200,000
More importantly: Engraved with "evidence of their plans"

They say the American Civil War was fought to "free the slaves."

The truth?

It was about power, money, and control.

A brutal, bloody war dressed up in morality.

Let’s uncover the lies you were told.🧵 Image
By 1860, America was two countries:

- The North: industrial, capitalist, and urbanizing.

- The South: agrarian, slave-based, and oligarchic.

The real tension?

Economic domination. Not ethics. Image
Slavery wasn’t just a Southern problem.

Northern banks funded slave plantations.

Northern textile mills relied on slave-picked cotton.

And Abraham Lincoln?

He only opposed expansion of slavery, not slavery itself (at first).

On Dec 7, 1941, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

2,403 Americans died.
The U.S. entered World War II.

But why did Japan attack?

Because the U.S. backed Japan into a corner—economically, diplomatically, and strategically.

Here’s the truth you weren’t taught:Image
Japan wasn’t just power-hungry.

It needed raw materials—oil, rubber, iron—to fuel its empire.

The U.S., UK & Netherlands had cut off its access.

No oil = no army, no navy, no empire.
War became inevitable. Image
Why the embargo?

Because Japan had invaded China in 1937.

The Rape of Nanking.
Brutal occupation.

Western powers condemned it—but Japan kept expanding.

How to Survive a Nuclear War After a Bomb Is Dropped:

⚠️ Imagine this: A nuclear bomb just dropped near you.

The sky lights up, the ground shakes—what do you do?

Survival isn’t just luck. Hiroshima and Nagasaki taught us how to fight for life.

Follow this thread🧵 Image
Image
You see a blinding flash—brighter than the sun.

What’s your move?

Duck and cover NOW.

In Hiroshima, people who dropped behind walls or furniture survived the heat and debris.

Get low, shield your head, and wait out the chaos. Image
That flash?

It’s followed by a shockwave—a wall of force that flattens everything.

Stay down for 10 seconds minimum.

Nagasaki survivors who waited avoided being crushed by flying glass and rubble.

Solid cover is your lifeline.

He was hailed as a war hero, yet his policies starved 3 million Indians to death in 1943.

The Bengal Famine was no natural disaster—it was a man-made tragedy under Winston Churchill’s watch.

Let’s uncover the truth history often buries.

A Thread 🧵 Image
Image
First, context: In 1943, Bengal (now parts of India & Bangladesh) was under British colonial rule.

WWII was raging, and India was a key supplier of resources for the Allied war effort.

But this came at a devastating cost for Bengalis. Image
The Bengal Famine killed 2-3 million people—men, women, children.

Bodies littered the streets. Families ate roots, grass, even rats to survive.

Yet, this wasn’t just bad luck or drought.

British policies, led by Churchill, played a central role.

On June 22, 1941, millions woke to the roar of tanks and bombs as Hitler’s betrayal of Stalin ignited Operation Barbarossa, a campaign of unimaginable scale.

This fateful clash decided the war and changed nations forever.

Explore the gripping story... 🧵 Image
In 1939, Hitler was obsessed with conquering Poland, but there was a problem:

Britain and France had pledged to defend Poland.

Even worse, attacking Poland could drag the Soviet Union into the war, creating a two-front conflict — a scenario Hitler was desperate to avoid. Image
Stalin, on the other hand, wanted to protect his borders and expand Soviet influence.

He saw Hitler’s desperation as an opportunity.

After weeks of secret negotiations, their foreign ministers, Ribbentrop and Molotov, met in Moscow to sign the pact.

Imagine, 120 People Locked Up, Without Cell Phones, Without the Outside World, to Choose a Leader for 1 Billion People.

Yeah, this is the Conclave.

What is a conclave? Why is it full of mystery?

Let's discuss 🧵👇 Image
1. What is a Conclave?

Conclave comes from the Latin word 'cum clave' which means "with key".

Which means, the cardinals are locked in a room, isolated from the world, until they elect a new Pope. Image
2. super sacred location

The conclave was held in the Sistine Chapel, under Michelangelo's painting of the Day of Judgment.

This painting is like a reminder: "You are making a sacred decision, don't make the wrong choice!" Image
