I've been having some tooth pain lately. I went to the dentist a couple of weeks ago and had an X-ray done and it showed one of my wisdom tooth was impacted so I had it removed today. The procedure was fine but my mouth has had a dull, throbbing ache since. Swelling isn't bad but it sucks being restricted with food.

Thanks for sharing this video. I've been slack with exercise and rehab since the corona virus kicked off. Gyms should be opening back up soon so I'll definitely start using the seated calf machine and try these achilles exercises by leaning near a wall.

"People who assist authorities in endeavouring to prosecute Paul Dale have a pretty poor life expectancy. Two of them have been murdered." - Gary Livermore lawyer for the Australian Crime Commission.

This book is from an ex-detective suspected of a double murder. He was charged with conspiracy to murder but ultimately the charges were dropped. Obviously he is going to say that he's innocent, but it's interesting how the police pursued him for 10 years and spent millions of dollars on convincing people to testify against him.

My opinion is that he didn't get anyone killed but as the head of a drug squad he was being accused of being corrupt as one of his detectives got busted robbing a known drug house with an informer. The informer stated that Paul Dale was also involved in the robbery and had planned it and they were going to split the proceeds. The detective refused to implicate Paul Dale. The police ended up charging Paul Dale with the robbery but before the trial commenced the informer and his wife were both shot in the back of the head in their residence, which led to the robbery charges for Paul Dale being dropped.

A few years later a convicted criminal was looking to make a plea bargain with police and alleges that Paul Dale came to him to organise for the informer to get murdered. Paul Dale denies this. Paul Dale's lawyer breached her client privilege and also came forward to the police implicating Paul Dale in the murder of the Hodson's. Paul Dale was charged for murder but before the case went to trial the convicted criminal got murdered in his cell for being a "dog".

 In his book  Paul Dale admitted that he he made people informers without their knowledge (Tommy Ivanovich) that could lead to these people being killed if their status was found out, albeit mistakenly as they never agreed to become informers. The evidence of him being involved in the robbery was all from a police informer who obviously had ulterior motives to try and lessen his sentence. Although, Paul Dale was a somewhat dodgy cop I don't think he would have been found guilty for the robbery, which is why I can't see why he would have ordered for the murder of the informer and his wife.

It was a a good read.

This was a fascinating book.


I wouldn't be surprised if they make a movie out of this one day. It's based on the story of an American whistle blower who spent time working in Swiss banks.

Non-book related but my 401k took a substantial hit in March due to coronavirus.



I Plan to retire at 60 so I've got 31 years left if I live that long.
