Letter to the Editor

Which reminds me, while we are basking in the warm glow of fascism-driven paranoia, much earned LOL, here is a little sage of somebody’s latest attempt.

A reader and contributor to CN found his brakes had been tampered with

I drive on dangerous bush roads, at speed. The other day, my caliper brake hydraulic tube snapped in half, leaving me hurtling backwards in a rocky gorge with no brakes. That took some fast crash gear changing I can tell you. When I finally took the wheel off, the caliper fell on the road. The two retaining bolts were missing. I isolated that wheel and did a couple of trips on three brakes, while waiting for replacement parts. When I final repaired the caliper I discovered the anti-roll bar retaining nut at the very end of its travel.

The intended scenario clearly was that I brake on a hairpin bend, and with no brakes hit the bank hard, and with the anti-roll bar dysfunctional; flip and roll into the gully. Nice plan.

That makes the third attempt in 11 months. So, be warned, do not piss Rupert Murdoch off unless you are tuned into survival mode. I am not too concerned because he has to make it look like an accident. Murder would attract certain investigation, which he does not want. I have proof he is guilty of a criminal offence for which the penalty is prison. The full story is in the novel “The Lost Track”. It would be nice to know others also were aware.
