Sorry -- ABS RIOT is part of the comment that was left on Father's Day.

Totally missed that, Mokey! I was so blinded by the Ecapsym post I didn't even see the ORBITAS mention. Though I did do a search on the poster, fairandbalanced. Didn't come up with anything, but perhaps I didn't pursue it hard enough, thinking it wasn't the right one.

So, combine "ecapsym" (meaning My Space) with "fairandbalanced" and you get: http://www.myspace.com/fairandbalanced!

Check out the latest blog entry, posted June 17th:

The only thing to go on for now is that this Lachlan guy knows Hendler. Didn't find anything with the Rupert Murdoch identities.

But I don't get it. Aren't these people famous? Lachlan quit the company back in July 2005. Never really explained why. He founded the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (http://www.mcri.edu.au/).

Sure, there's a heavy parents versus children theme involved here, but not really anything about one of them dying.

Something strange: after his resignation, Lachlan set up a new Australian company called Illyria Pty Ltd, in which he acts as sole director and secretary. But the website of that company (http://www.illyria.com.au/) is only a single page with contact information. Also nothing special in that page's source code, except there's an image involved which can't be viewed.

You're right, but I always associated it with death because of the filicide themes, animals killing their offspring, etc.

[Shellshock612]

I honestly dont see much of a connection considering that according to google, the guys owns about half of the worlds satelite television networks. I was just trying to find somewhere else to go with this lol

Followed up some more on the Illyria hint, all I came up with is a Buffy character's fansite.

Well, you never know Keep searching! I think we're closing in.

I think I get the name for Lachlans myspace (Fairandbalanced) Its the slogan for Fox News, even though they were blatantly lying, since we all know Fox is anything but. Fox News is owned by News Corp, which is of course owned by Rupert Murdoch.

I was thinking ... should we send DJ a message about finding that My Space profile of Lachlan Murdoch? After all, he drew our attention to those blog comments leading to it.

DJ ... Dr. J?

I thought it might be worth noting that Lachlan's heroes - Edgar Allen Poe, Dave Thomas, Faith Hill, Dr. J Hendler, Eleanor Roosevelt and Leo Tolstoy were all estranged from their parents in some way.

Lachlan's blog also has an enquiry from 'Johnny' with regards to solar flares, could anyone say if this is one of us or not so we can rule him out of the equation?

[Schrijvertje]

Yeah, that's me Just trying to generate some kind of response.

By the way ...

I found Hendler's blog!!!

I kept wondering about who Lachlan was referring to with that SOHO-image, someone posting a blog 150 million kms away? First this led me to www.hendler.blogspot.com, but there was nothing there. Then I tried www.150million.blogspot.com and hit the jackpot!

Good find about the heroes, though. Would never have guessed that.

From the blog, it shows that Hendler is having a falling out with his daughter. I guess this is were orbitas takes a peek.

Good find on the MySpace and the blog!!! I searched MySpace for fairandbalanced, but I didn't think to put it as the actual address. *ditz*

Man, Dr. Hendler's blog makes me really sad for him. He sounds lonely. I wish his daughter would be nicer to him.

I've been looking at the Murdochs on Lachlan's friends list. One of them has Lachlan as his top friend, and his quote says something about being fair and balanced. There's another (the one who posted the comment) that has a blog post called "Why Lachlan?"

They're probably all just random users. Still, interesting!

[Schrijvertje]

Mokey, perhaps you could leave a comment about his daughter on his blog? I've been commenting here and there but only on the solar flare stuff. I've wanted to say something about his family situation, but couldn't find the right words. Don't want to be too intrusive.
