He surmises maybe there was an accident there.
Key question for FBI investigators (and CIA).... which plastics or similar materials in the supply chain constantly exported to America from China is for immediate use, and therefore possibly being used to carry virus into America. I'd look into it. Eg plastic utensils. Clothes. Flip flops etc.

Dear Mr Benji,
I've woken up at approximately 448am eastern standard time in Australia after deep sleep, most likely rem sleep. After proceeding to relieve myself at one of the nearby urinals I returned to bed and realized I couldn't readily sleep again. I proceeded to procure my phone which was off, from the other side of the house. Returning to the bed, all for myself after eschewing my mate with my loud snoring earlier, I proceeded to close the door and watch a press conference from Washington featuring Mike Pompeo, Mark Esper and some others.
I immediately noted Mike Pompeo is being colored as a fat pig by the Chinese Marxist leninist revolutionary media. I realized eventually this was a metaphorical depiction and noticed no real pig like behavior such as fossiking with the muzzle of the face, glistening, a lack of clothes, standing on four limbs, etc.
After approximately five to ten minutes of listening to Mike discuss renewing sanctions on Iran, generally being of the attitude that America is driving China and Iran closer and closer together. Lapsing on the verge of sleep a thunderous loud crash was heard, distorted greatly due to the entrance into that fabulous realm known as sleepy land. In fact my phone had fallen from my hand approximately two inches onto the mattress, waking me up at the point of falling asleep as it were. I proceeded to listen more, most likely to a different speaker such as Esper or someone else and fell asleep for another three hours.
Sincerely, your buddy,
Herr Benji
PS, I'm experiencing significantly less inner conflict of late.

A few good Benjis, article 39A session
.
Dear Ms. Alvarez,
I’m in receipt of your last two emails and have duly noted both of them. After liasing with Benjamin in the last few hours I have come to realize that you both had a sister, Raquel, who was born on August 17th 1969 and who tragically took her own life a little before her thirtieth birthday. In light of that, I would like to extend my condolences, too many times now, it seems. I can only think, based on my understanding of your family, that it must have been a bitter pill for everyone to swallow. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not a psychology or counselling service. I will tell you this, however: a friend of mine in Arizona once told me about his parents being gunned down dead in front of him when he was a very young child and, one: I have absolutely no reason to doubt the veracity of his story, why would he just make that up, right? He clearly seemed very upset about it. Two: at the end of the day, he’s the only guy that understands how that makes him feel. The people around him that just know him casually will obviously understand it’s upsetting for him but they’ll never understand what it feels like for him to carry that around. In a similar way, I can’t really say for sure how you might feel exactly about so many deaths in your family, but I can’t think it’d be very pleasant for you. Similarly, it seems to me since you don’t seem to get along very well with your brother, that possibly you do not understand how he’s dealing with those losses. And I’d hazard to bet that Benjamin does not really understand exactly how you feel about the situation. It’s really beyond the scope of what I can deal with to discuss the matter more, at present.
Moving on to the more practical matter of the actual administration of the Estate of your mother, I took the trouble to contact the British Embassy in Madrid recently about getting your documents notarized as either a British or Australian Diplomatic Mission would do (according to the Oaths Act, 1900), but unfortunately, they do not provide this service in Madrid. Since it seems like the Australian Embassy may be a little slow for you (and I’m not sure what they’d charge you, either), you might want to go for a Notary Public offered by the Spaniards there in Madrid:
Ministry of Justice - Legalisations (C/ de la Bolsa, 8 - 28071 Madrid Tel. +34 902 007 214), Legalisations Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (C/ PechuĆ”n, 1 – 28002 Madrid. Tel: +34 91 379 16 55)
Legalisation is free of charge when carried out by the Legalisations Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (C/ PechuĆ”n, 1 – 28002 Madrid. Tel: +34 91 379 16 55).
Some notary services charge money and some don’t. Try calling the free one first, e.g., the one at C/ Pechuan and ask them if they offer a free service or where you can get a free service and figure out the times first so you don’t waste your time turning up late. There’s an APP for Android and iPhones called NOTARIZE, it provides the convenience of getting your documents notarized by videolink without leaving home, over videolink, the drawback with this service is that it costs $25(U.S.) per document notarized (expensive). If you’re getting a lot of documents notarized, it’s always best to go with a free service, ESPECIALLY, as if you get a free service you can send one copy to the Estate of Maria Alvarez (98 Jersey Rd Dharruk 2770 NSW) and one copy to the NSW Supreme Court (GPO Box 3 Sydney 2001 NSW) directly and even a third copy to your friends in BALLMAIN. That would be ideal as if one document became lost in the mail at least there’d be sure to be a back-up, and if you’re getting it notarized all at once for free, you’re only paying for the extra photocopies and postage. Not much of an expense. Farther to this point, I want to explain that adding you as a Co-Administrator to the Estate, while a small clerical matter for the NSW Supreme Court, will actually require a lot more documents signed and notarized by you, apart from FORM 125, if you go in that direction (please note the four FORMS I’ve already sent you and check all the places Benjamin was required to sign. You’d be required to sign all of those FORMS too, and in some cases, have them notarized, so please take the time to read through all of those FORMS – and they’d have to be posted over as the NSW Supreme Court only likes original documents). As I mentioned to your friends, John and Catherine, being listed as a Co-Administrator would mostly apply to the sale of the actual house and land of Maria’s Estate, it means you’d be signing the contract with the Real Estate agent to sell the house (possibly leading to more delays). It’s an important principal in the Law, in general, that you know what your Rights are.
Having mentioned all of that, you should know that in Probate Law, most arguments when dealing with inheritances and Family Estates and Trusts comes from a sense of disagreement and greed as to who should be entitled to what. This is more so in families with second and third wives (and husbands) (multiple divorces), half brothers and half sisters and step-brothers and step-sisters. In these kinds of big families, when there’s a big pie on offer, everyone starts wanting a bigger piece of the pie. But in your family Estate, it seems your mother was widowed and did not have a de-facto partner so there doesn’t seem to be any dispute that you and your brother are equal co-beneficiaries of the Estate to the exclusion of everyone else.
Finally, your brother seems like an honorable person to me, I cannot imagine that he would not act with honor and propriety, as a matter of principle, when dealing with your mother’s Estate. From what I’ve understood from him regarding your late brother’s Estate, he seems to have acted honestly in the matter, to my understanding.
As previously stated, it’s incumbent on you to understand the Law for yourself and bring yourself up to speed on what a Co-Administrator is (and isn’t) in this particular situation.
Regards,
Sam LEE
Legal Advisor.

Dear John and Catherine,
On behalf of Benjamin and the Estate of
the late Maria Alvarez, thank you for your timely and gracious response. By way
of introduction, I’m happy to let you know that I was close classmates with
Benjamin at St Marys Senior High School in western Sydney quite some time ago.
Somehow Benjamin and I have managed to maintain our acquaintanceship throughout
the years not withstanding my subsequent relocation to the United States almost
twenty years ago. I presently co-manage an international marketing service
based in Las Vegas Nevada. I’m familiar with Ken Done’s artwork and appreciate
his style. I do not practice Law at present but am available for freelance
consulation and still maintain contact with registered lawyers in Australia where
I studied Law after matriculating from St Marys Senior High.
I can assure you there is no hurry with
the Estate and everything is moving fairly smoothly. As per Trish’s request,
Benjamin has posted out some of his mother’s ashes to her by Sea Mail however
he is unable to track this through Australia Post so is just hoping fingers
crossed it will arrive ok. The late Maria’s Will has been located and Benjamin
advises he has forwarded (a copy of) it by Air Mail to the Late Maria’s brother
and sister which has been tracked and recently arrived okay in the post in
Spain. The Will stipulates Benjamin and Trish are to share in the Estate half
each (50/50) and we do not anticipate any problems with executing the Will
through the NSW Supreme Court (the relevant authority as the property belonging
to the Estate is in NSW, namely 98 Jersey Rd Dharruk 2770 NSW).
With regard to the current expenses of
the Estate, Benjamin advises that at present he does not expect them to mount
up to a point where the Estate need be charged from the principal value of the
property itself. With regard to this Estate, the only real valuable item is the
house and land itself as none of the removable items are of any value enough to
compensate the expense of removing them, most of the furnishings have zero
value and have been listed as such already with the Estate papers submitted to
the Court. In other words, if the house sells for 600k (six hundred thousand
dollars), at present Benjamin expects to be able to halve that amount (minus real
Estate agency fees) with his sister and allocate the funds to her bank account.
You really hit on something mentioning
Covid, we can all appreciate no matter our respective location on the planet,
the pandemic is certainly upending lives and disrupting entire societies
globally. With regard to Benjamin and his sister and their relationship, I can
merely say that I wouldn’t even need to know Benjamin well to understand he’s
had a very difficult time managing his brother’s Estate, who sadly passed away
roughly three and a half years ago. I understand why he would not want to
complicate his current situation, managing his mother’s Estate, difficult as it
is, trying to balance a strained relationship with his sister Trish. I
understand he was becoming somewhat nervous at the prospect of being utterly
ignored by his sister not least because of the effect of the Covid pandemic on
real estate prices in Sydney. According to Benjamin’s reckoning, the family
Estate would normally only be valued at a little over 500k if that, but because
of the unusual effects on the macro and micro economies, of the Covid pandemic,
there seems to actually be a strengthening effect on real estate prices in
western sydney, and the property seems to be valued at around 600k these days.
However, Benjamin is concerned a crash in real estate prices could end up
costing himself and his sister many tens of thousands of dollars in lost
property value, he is of the opinion that the sooner the property is sold, the
better for his own and his sister’s proper interests.
Therefore entertaining that last point
which is pivotal to my client’s interests, while I am not in a position to give
Trish any legal advice or anyone representing her directly, notwithstanding
that Benjamin and Trish’s interests may overlap mostly, in this matter, I can
vaguely state that applying as a Co-Administrator would allow her to
micro-manage the sale of the property a little more. If an offer is made on the
house and Trish does not agree with it, having Co-Administrator status may
enable her to retain more control in individual decisions like that. On the
other hand, if she’s happy to accept Benjamin’s judgement, and realizes that
the NSW Supreme Court defends her rights as a stipulated co-recipient of the
late Maria’s Will, then she might not want to sign on as a Co-Administrator to
the Estate. At the end of the day, the Administrator(s), in this case, will
sell the house and split the value of that sale between Benjamin and
Trish. It’s incumbent on Trish to seek
her own legal advice, perhaps you can recommend your own lawyer to her or
merely encourage her to read up on the NSW Supreme Court website: http://www.supremecourt.justice.nsw.gov.au/Pages/sco2_probate/sco2_filing_instructions/applying_for_letters_of_administration.aspx
Also please request she keep an eye on
fluctuating real estate prices:
https://www.realestate.com.au/property/98-jersey-rd-dharruk-nsw-2770?source=property-search-hp
If she wishes to be added as a
Co-Administrator she might try simply adding a paragraph to Form 125 stating as
much, before signing, and having it witnessed. Likewise I’m not up to speed on
precisely who the NSW Supreme Court would recognize, in Spain, as a valid
witness, but it may not be necessary for her to make her way to an Australian
Diplomatic mission for that, it’s encumbent on her to discover that, she can
try researching the NSW Supreme Court website (listed above) for that. With
regard to posting, it’s absolutely essential she post hard copy of her
paperwork (FORM 125) to: The Estate of Maria Alvarez 98 Jersey Rd DHARRUK NSW
2770 for filing purposes.

Father's day
Yo so it's father's day in Australia today.
I set the mood yesterday screaming like a drill Sargent a little. Then this morning it was wake up, watch news from Russia, top brass wargaming some tanks and a blind lady or two with a cane and guide dogs.
Off to church, Scarlet stayed at home, one girl hitting puberty started dressing like porn star all of a sudden, can anyone spell gaol bait? That's how you spell jail bait in Australia, just sayin' that's at least one person around here that can spell gaol bait.
Lunch with the family, stand by for pics, local golf club is picturesque but food mediocre and overpriced and pepper gravy actually tasted like someone dropped dishwashing detergent in it, again just sayin'
Pre dinner got busy on killing spiders š·️ š·️
There's way two [sic] many around the patio outside. Also cut my UV film with a view to layering my windows.
Invited neighbor from across the street for some wine. Normally we avoid each other but being father's day and my son is at his place a lot with his son, figured it was a good time to catch up. Ate an early dinner but neighbor and wife passed on early dinner. Wife had dinner with the kids, pasta. I had salad and bread with butter and the neighbor's port plus some red wine. Didn't really get tipsy. Didn't drink enough to make Islamic prayer prohibitive now I'd say. Sounds like Muslim Ned Flanders. That's me, I told some Tajiki guy a while back, another Muslim about my idea for best death penalty technique: helium balloons and a friendly going away party and he calls it Jewish Islam, that's fair enough.
I liked the tanks! They were hitting little wooden targets far off, boom! Target practice. There was some story on all the crims in South America on the evening news. Bro if I were dictator of South America I'd turn the place into a global number one arse kicking society from Mexico to the tip of Peru or Chile down south using the death penalty and a fist of steel. All the lowlife crims in jail [sic] for murder and drugs. Gas chamber. For real. I'd be so bad ass people would have posters of me everywhere and would kiss them and toast them with tears in their eyes, 'el jefe, el jefe.' In the United States los gringos in Congress would call me 'uncle jefe, el thundero from downundero', I can see it now ..... Mmmm gas chambers....... Zzzzzzzz sleepy. Thundero. Zzzzzzzz. Down undero. Zzzzzzzz.

What is Nazareth and Macarena for $500?
https://youtu.be/elPlcVOby-8
Now we must deal with another phase of the history of the parents,
and of Jesus himself. In much of the Christian literature Jesus is referred
to as the Nazarene, and it is commonly believed that this means to
indicate that Jesus was born, or spent most of his lifetime, in Nazareth.
It is strange how students of biblical literature, and especially those
who have written so exhaustively on the life of Jesus, and who have
presented in their teachings and preachments the picturesque details
of his life, have never given proper thought to the title Nazarene, or
investigated its real meaning. It is assumed by all of these authorities,
writers, and teachers, that if Jesus was a Nazarene, he must have been
of the city called Nazareth, and since he and his parents lived in Galilee,
the city of Nazareth must have been in that locality. On the basis of
such reasoning, it is generally proclaimed that Nazareth was the home
town of the parents of Jesus, and that Nazareth in Galilee was the
place where Jesus spent his childhood.
Probably most of my readers will be surprised to
learn that at the time Jesus was born there was no city or town in the
whole of Galilee known as Nazareth, and that the city in Galilee which
now bears that name is not only a city of more recent years, but was
named and came into existence because of the demand on the part
of investigators to find some place that would answer to the name of
Nazareth in Galilee.
First of all, we must make plain that the title Nazarene did not imply
that the person who bore that title was of a city called Nazareth.
Rather, the title was given by the Jews to those strange people outside
of their own religion who seemed to belong to some secret sect or cult
that had existed in northern Palestine for many centuries. We find in
the Christian Bible that even John the Baptist was called the Nazarene.
We also find many other references to persons who were known as
Nazarenes. In Acts 24:5, we find some man being condemned as a
mover of sedition among the Jews throughout the world and being
called a “ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.” Whenever the Jews
came in contact with one in their country who had a different religion,
and especially a mystical understanding of the things of life, and who
was living in accordance with some code of philosophical or moral
ethics that was different from those of the Jews, he or she was called a
Nazarene for the want of a better name.
There was a definite sect called the Nazarenes, and we find them
referred to in the Jewish records as a sect of primitive Christians, or
in other words, those who were essentially prepared for and ready to
accept the Christian doctrines. In fact, the Jewish encyclopedias and
authorities seem to agree that the term Nazarene embraced all those
Christians who had originally been both Jews, and who neither would
nor could give up their original mode of life, but who attempted to
adjust the new doctrines with the old. The Jewish encyclopedias also
state that it is quite evident that the Nazarenes and the Essenes had
many characteristics in common and were therefore of a mystical
tendency. In fact, the Essenes and the Nazarenes were considered
heretics by the learned Jews, but there is this difference or distinction
in the use of the two terms: the Essenes were not as well known to
the populace of Palestine as were the Nazarenes, and seldom was
someone called an Essene unless the person was well informed and
knew the difference between the Essenes and the Nazarenes; whereas
many Essenes and even those of other sects who lived an atypical life
or who did not accept the Jewish religion were called Nazarenes.
Jerome, the famous biblical authority, refers to the fact that in his
day there still existed among the Jews, in all the synagogues of the
East, a heresy condemned by the Pharisees, and the followers of it
were called Nazarenes. He said that they believed that Christ, the Son
of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, and they held Christ to be the
one who suffered under Pontius Pilate and ascended to heaven. “But,”
said Jerome, “while they pretended to be both Jewish and Christian,
they were neither.”
Turning to the highest Roman Catholic authorities, we find that the
title Nazarene, as applied to Christ, occurs only once in the Douai version
of the Bible, and this authority states that the term Jesus Nazarenus
is uniformly translated “Jesus of Nazareth,” but this is a mistake in
translation, for it should read “Jesus the Nazarene.” Nowhere in the Old
Testament do we find the word Nazareth as referring to a city existing
anywhere in Palestine, but we do find in the New Testament references
to Jesus returning to a city called Nazareth. These references are a
result of translating the phrase, “Jesus returning to the Nazarenes”
to read, “Jesus returning to Nazareth.” The interesting point here is
emphasized by the Roman Catholic authorities, for they show that
whereas Jesus was commonly referred to as the Nazarene, he was not
of that sect at all.
Taking the Jewish and Roman Catholic records together, and
comparing them with the information contained in our own records,
we find that the Nazarenes constituted a sect of Jews who, while
attempting to adhere to the ancient Jewish teachings, did believe in
the coming of a Messiah who would be born in an unusual manner
and who would become the Savior of their race. After the ministry of
Jesus began, these Nazarenes accepted Jesus as the Messiah and even
accepted the doctrines he taught while still trying to adhere to many
of the fundamentals of their Jewish religion. The Jewish records state
that the Nazarenes rejected Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, and that
some of the Nazarenes exalted Jesus only as a just person.
There was another term for such heretics among the Jews, and this
was Nazarite. According to the Jewish authorities, the term was applied
to those who lived apart or separate from the Jewish race, because of
some distinctive religious, moral, or ethical belief. The Jewish records
state that such persons were often those who would not take wine or
drink anything made from grapes, or those who would not cut a hair
of their heads, or who would not touch the dead during any funeral
ceremony.
These same records state that the history or origin of Nazariteship in
ancient Israel is obscure. They state that Samson was a Nazarite, as was
his mother, and that Samuel’s mother promised to dedicate him to the
sect of Nazarites. The Jewish records state also that it was common
for parents to dedicate their minor children to the Nazarite sect, and
they distinctly say that there are references to the fact that Jesus was
said to have been dedicated to the Nazarites while still in the womb.
The Jewish records say that Luke 1:15 refers to this dedication. Helena,
the Queen, and Miryam of Palmyra are mentioned as Nazarites in the
Jewish records, and many other persons famous in sacred literature
were known to be Nazarites.
That the terms Nazarite and Nazarene had naught to do with a city
or town called Nazareth is plainly indicated by many historical records.
We have said that the present town of Nazareth in Galilee received
its name because a place had to be found that would fit the common
understanding in regard to the village in which the parents of Jesus
lived and where he spent his boyhood. During the first few centuries
after Christ, when the Christian doctrines were in the making and the
founders of the Roman Catholic Church and religious students in
general were searching for every historical site connected with the life
of Jesus, each spot, place, and incident in the career of this great person
was eagerly tabulated and glorified. My recent visit through Palestine
made plain to me that this desire to find historical, sacred sites and
glorify them has not ended and will probably continue for hundreds
of years. The absurdity of most of this becomes apparent when even
the casual tourist discovers that three, four, and five different places
are pointed out as being the spot where some particular incident in the
life of Jesus occurred.
In searching for a place that would answer to the name of Nazareth
in Galilee, great difficulty was experienced, since no such city was
mentioned in the Old Testament, and none of the ancient maps of the
time of Christ revealed such a site. A very small settlement, however,
called En Nasira was found far from the Sea of Galilee, and this was
immediately renamed Nazareth and associated with the early life of
the child Jesus. This discovery of the town of En Nasira was made in
the third century after Christ, and since then has been known as the town
of Nazareth, but even today it is lacking in any of the evidences which
would warrant the use of that name.
In Mark 6:1,2, the statements are made that Jesus went back to his
own country and his disciples followed him, and when the sabbath day
was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. In the fourth verse of
that chapter, Jesus referred to the fact that he was a prophet in his own
country, among his own kin, and in his own house. These statements
have been taken to refer to Nazareth, the town in which many biblical
students believe Jesus was born and in which he spent his childhood.
Now, if Jesus did return to his home town and did preach in a
synagogue to great multitudes, it could not have been at En Nasira, or
the so-called town of Nazareth; for even in the second and third centuries
after the birth of Jesus, En Nasira or Nazareth had no synagogue and
was not large enough to have any building in which multitudes could
have listened to Jesus, nor were there multitudes in that vicinity to hear
him. So the references in Mark to his hometown could not refer to En
Nasira. En Nasira was only a settlement around a spring which was
at that time called the “Spring of the Guard House,” but I find that
now in recent years it has been changed and is called “St. Mary’s Well.”
This change of name and the giving of a religious significance to some
unimportant site in Palestine is typical of the changes that are being
rapidly made in that country for the benefit of tourists.
Turning to the old Jewish records, we find these state that only in the
books of the New Testament, written long after the lifetime of Jesus, is
the town of Nazareth mentioned as a village in Galilee, and that such a
place is not mentioned in the Old Testament, in the historical writings
of Josephus, nor in the Talmud. During the lifetime of Jesus, the town
of Joppa was the important city in the locality of Galilee. It was the one
which attracted all tourists and is referred to most often in historical
writings.
In the Roman Catholic records and in their encyclopedias, we find
that the town of En Nasira was known as a strictly Jewish village up to
the time of Constantine and is referred to as one being inhabited wholly
by Jews. Therefore, this little village surrounding a well could not have
been the center of the Gentile population of Galilee. At the present
time, there is a small church or chapel in Nazareth which I visited, and
it is supposed to stand above the grotto where Mary and Joseph lived at
the time that the archangel announced to Mary the forthcoming birth
of the incarnation of the Logos.
All of the foregoing facts point out very clearly that Mary and Joseph
and the child born to them were considered, along with many others
in their locality, as Nazarenes, Nazarites, or people of a non-Jewish
sect. And the many other references to this sect clearly show that it
was one which held such religious and mystical views as permitted
the acceptance of the fundamentals of the Christian doctrine. Taking
this into consideration, we have at once an interesting picture of the
conditions existing in and around Palestine just prior to the Christian
era.
We have, first of all, a large number of men and women, even
children, who were either Jewish by birth, Gentile by birth, or of various
races and bloods, but who had refused to adopt wholly or completely
the Mosaic law and were Jewish only because the laws of the land
forced them to adopt circumcision, to appear in the synagogue when
twelve years of age, and to be enrolled as Jews. Yet these persons were
mystically inclined in their beliefs and followed the Jewish teachings
only so far as they revealed God and God’s laws and served them in
their study of divine principles. They were prepared by some school
or some system which made them ready to accept the higher mystical
teachings as they were revealed from time to time by the progressive
minds or by the teachings of avatars.
On the other hand, there was the one definite organization of mystics
known as the Essenes, which conducted many forms of humanitarian
activities, including hospices, rescue homes, and places for the care of
the poor and needy. The Essenes had their northern center in Galilee,
among the Aryans, because they had been directed to this locality by
the center of their organization in Egypt, known as the G.W.B. The
Essenes were not popularly known, were quiet and unostentatious in
their activities, and were distinguished by the populace only by their
white raiment. The Nazarites, the Nazarenes, and the Essenes mingled
freely and undoubtedly sought to carry on their independent activities
without interference one with the other, although they unquestionably
had many ideals and purposes in common. But the Nazarites and
Nazarenes were popularly recognized and known to the populace,
and for this reason all who did not accept the Jewish faith, or who
were heretical in their Jewish beliefs, were classified as Nazarenes and
Nazarites, not as Essenes.

Sold that piano on eBay recently, netted about$472 AUS.... Noone really used it much in 30 years
Hey so do you love a mystery and spy codes ? Here's a famous Australian mystery I came across.... Well it's called the Somerton man, basically some guy found on a beach in Adelaide in 1948 never been identified. Now after watching the buzz feed article I'd say he was a Russian agent killed by some other Russian kgb spies. The technique they use to make discovery is tantalizing: a snippet of a book is sewn deeply hidden into his pants. All identifying tags are removed but the suit is considered American. A member of public comes forward, hey I have the rest of that book the snippet the police are talking about came from, someone threw it into my car at the beach. Also a witness remembers someone carrying a body from the beach. Ok so some Russian agent has killed another one using some poison that disappears after ingestion, these kinds of poisons are actually mentioned in the BuzzFeed coverage of this case. They will kill you, make your liver swell and bleed then disappear. He's sewn the paper into the guy's pants and thrown the book it's from into some random person's car so that later when police investigate he can come forward with book. Police find in book a code, see below and a phone number. The number belongs to some lady who's daughter, like 50 years later, tells Australian 60 minutes her mom taught Russians English and could still remember Russian. But the daughter doesn't know much about it as her mother represents herself as Anglo and not Russian. Also it turns out that woman, going by the name Thompson, has had a child with the dead guy. And the fact she's told police she knows nothing about dead guy just proves she was working for Russian intelligence as low end. Got terrified when police show her a plaster cast of her baby's father she had a fling with, now dead, her kgb handler, who was probably killed for knocking her up. Mystery solved. Just ask Putin to cough twice in public noticeably in two months from now as a confirmation.
Ok so the code is below and the Australian navy is all like, we don't know. And there's a code qualifier below the kid ascribing numbers to each letter, either 1 for A or 26 for A and so forth, 2 for B or 25 for B. Noone has cracked the code yet. But you could try asking former Russian field agent how these codes work. It's possible this code doesn't actually mean anything and is there to obscure the truth. The relevant truth would be that the killer has created a very sneaky mechanism for police to trace their way to the Thompson woman and that would scare her enough not to talk. Or maybe she could read the code, who knows. It has Russian spies written all over it.
This random American kid thinks he's cracked the code to Uzbeki.....
