Phantomboxe Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 An 80-year-old retired MI5 agent, John Hopkins, has made a series of astonishing confessions since he was released from hospital in London on Wednesday and told he has weeks to live. Hopkins claims to have been involved in 23 assassinations for the British intelligence agency between 1973 and 1999, including Princess Diana. Mr. Hopkins, who worked for M15 for 38 years as an operative, claims he was often used as an hitman by the agency, to discreetly assassinate individuals considered a threat to the domestic security of the United Kingdom. Trained as both a mechanical engineer and munitions expert, Mr. Hopkins claims he also has extensive experience of less conventional methods of inflicting death and destruction, including chemicals and poisons. The 80-year-old British man claims he was involved with MI5 assassinations between June 1973 and December 1999, during a period he says “the MI5 operated with less external oversight.” Hopkins says he was part of a cell of seven operatives who were trusted to carry out political assassinations across the UK. Most victims were politicians, activists, journalists and union leaders. Mr. Hopkins says Princess Diana is unique among his victims, as she is the only female he ever assassinated, as well as the only Royal. She is also the only victim that the Royal Family themselves ordered to be taken out. Read full Article 80-year-old retired MI5 agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Quote Retired MI5 Agent Confesses on Deathbed: ‘I Killed Princess Diana’? Reports that a retired MI5 agent confessed to assassinating Princess Diana in 1997 are fake news. On 19 June 2017, the YourNewsWire web site published the implausible claim that a former MI5 agent named John Hopkins had confessed to assassinating Princess Diana in 1997: Quote In 80-year-old retired MI5 agent, John Hopkins, has made a series of astonishing confessions since he was released from hospital in London on Wednesday and told he has weeks to live. Hopkins claims to have been involved in 23 assassinations for the British intelligence agency between 1973 and 1999, including Princess Diana. The 80-year-old British man claims he was involved with MI5 assassinations between June 1973 and December 1999, during a period he says “the MI5 operated with less external oversight.” Hopkins says he was part of a cell of seven operatives who were trusted to carry out political assassinations across the UK. Most victims were politicians, activists, journalists and union leaders. Mr. Hopkins says Princess Diana is unique among his victims, as she is the only female he ever assassinated, as well as the only Royal. She is also the only victim that the Royal Family themselves ordered to be taken out … He claims to feel “ambivalent” about Princess Diana’s death. On the one hand, Diana was “a beautiful, kind-hearted woman” who did not deserve to have her life cut short. But according to Mr. Hopkins, she was also placing the British Crown at risk: There was no truth to the story, which originated with YourNewsWire, a fake news site. As is often the case with fake news, the article lacked critical details such as when and where the confession occurred or how the purported assassination took place, and no other credible news outlet (or even tabloid) reported the story. The MI5 agent deathbed confession story was not the first of its type proffered by YourNewsWire, a site known for promoting baseless conspiracy theories. http://www.snopes.com/retired-mi5-agent-confesses-on-deathbed-i-killed-princess-diana/ Aangirfan: FAKE - MI5 AGENT CONFESSION - DIANA DEATH http://aanirfan.blogspot.com/2017/06/jay-greenberg-on-diana-death.html Fake News Alert: These stories DID NOT happen this week Quote NOT REAL: Retired MI5 Agent Confesses On Deathbed: ‘I Killed Princess Diana’ THE FACTS: A piece on a site called the Anti News Network renews a take on conspiracy theories blaming British agencies or the royal family for the princess’ August 1997 death in Paris. A coroner’s jury ruled in 2008 that Diana and boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed were killed by the reckless actions of their driver and paparazzi. Investigators testified that no British government agency was involved in her death. MI5, Britain’s domestic security agency, has a policy of not identifying current or past employees. The ANN story cites as its source the website yournewswire.com, which says it makes no representations about the accuracy of the information it posts. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/fake-news-alert-stories-not-happen-week-article-1.3275011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radeonxt Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 It was for custody of the royal bloodline. And the paparazzi who followed her weeks before her death supposedly committed suicide by burning himself, apparently shot himself twice in the head. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
