    Local government officials have said they were part of a convoy when their car drove off a ravine last weekend and the vehicle exploded. Two Mexican officers also were killed.

    part of a convoy… and drove into a ravine and exploded… contradictory reports between the mexicans and the cia story…

    Uhh that was intentional, wasn’t it.

      If anyone ever tells you to drive “LA rumorosa” its safe now blah blah blah…

      Don’t do California driving speeds and don’t text. Don’t even take your hands off the wheel. That place gives me the shakes.

      They can do that remotely now for newer vehicles, not even all than new. Not saying that is what happened here. But it could be.

        I did say a while ago the first remote-control assassination using a vehicle’s computer and steering being remotely set has already happened, we just don’t know to who.

        The technology and ability to do so has existed for a while.

          Virginia Guiffre I suspect. There is another that is widely rumored, trying to remember the details, which I never really learned well, might have something to do with the CIA. But I think it was somebody connected to some of the ones that originally broke the story about the vulnerability of cars to hackers.
