NO HONOUR AMONG THIEVES......
(begun Saturday 21st March at 3.30am....)
My dedicated Dirtbag runs an all-nighter from the toddler's dorms as all these lights upstairs are still active... Unless the two and three year olds are involved in prayers for Lent? (I speak not of some dim, comforting nightlight either)... *gags.. Ag, leaving the lights on doesn't bother them right? They sleep just the same right? *looks at the Caregivers and vomits profusely....
The Wireless Song buzzes fairly discreetly out in the valley as the moon rides high in the sky above.
An image of Schabir Shaik pops into my pointed head... Carefully posed on some sort of lounger and dressed in the traditional Muslim white robe, as he studies a book... Were we to believe this was the Koran he reads? *startled... Was this contrived picture intended to reassure the massive Muslim investments made into the Muni Networking System? No - don't laugh... I'm dead serious here...
How much has the Albaraka Bank alone paid in to the scheme and what exactly have the Shaikboyz promised in return? The World?
I was interested to see that Mo Shaik was at one time a so-called Intelligence Officer... Was this where the germ of the idea for the Information Theft project began? He would have been privy back then to Telkom's basic phone-tapping and no doubt standard bugging devices... Did he build up his own little Network of Bright Sparks all that time ago and meet with them regularly over the years?
Who was it that filled him in on the amazing techno possibilities that became available to infest your privacy? Was it prior to all the SBV Heists done between 1996 and 1997? How many of those thefts could be traced back to the Schabirs? Only the R75m one?
They would have needed fat cash to sell their idea fosho.... You've got to admit that it was genius for them to give their old stamping ground preference.... They will have had so many contacts, not the least being Koobair the Squat and Earl Michael Barnabas, who already back then ruled the entire area...
I've a problem getting my head around the Old-Boys Network and their involvement. They it is who run and manage the Beast I'm fairly certain. When they were first approached with the outline of the Info Theft Project, they surely realised immediately that the origins of the idea came from an extremely dodgy source?
Or did the Shaiks use their part in the Struggle to promote themselves and at that stage their links to the SA Underworld were not known? Was it just too late for the authorities to backpedal once the truth became known? *cackles...
Did the Old-Boys Network consider themselves brighter than the Shaiks and insist that they would Monitor the Monitors even back then? And that's how it is today?
Your privacy and control over every aspect of your life is now available to the highest bidder while the Old-Boys sit comfortably insisting that they have the situation in hand...? *falls to the floor..
Her son and his mate were held up at knifepoint the week before last, and their phones were taken. Due to luck and some good policework the culprits were caught fairly quickly...*curtseys to the good guys at Sydenham SAPS.... Funny part is, that the Officer in charge has now informed her that the thief's parents are distraught and are begging for the charges to be dropped as he's a first time offender.... *shrieks... Seriously! Kind-hearted as she is, twould be madness to let him get away with it FFS.... *waits...
Nobby sounded the alarm five minutes ago and Butch up the way seconded the motion.. We have company down in the valley? The clouds have lifted at last and the moonlight makes it easy for anyone to pick their way quietly from Jan Smuts through to Sydenham along the valley floor... A latenight party goer taking a shortcut home perhaps? *shrugs...
Roadworks returned yesterday and finally did a proper job on the mess left below Sue the Book's house..*applauds... It took them the entire day, but hopefully the enormous amount of water being run off under that section will no longer burst through and reveal itself to all and sundry....*laughing... From the smiles and waves given me by the wekkers, they were anticipating another photo-shoot which didn't materialize... I already have the pictures I need of that particular incident....*grins...
I see the Asset Forfeiture Unit was back in the press again. This time introducing us to Willie Hofmeyr... Old-boys Network? I'm to feel reassured? It aint working....*sighs and wonders idly whether Willie and Jan are related... Travel up Jan Hofmeyr Road a little way to the old Wandsbeck Post Office .. You will find that it is now the Nest of the Beast and the streetlights along that section appear to be active 24/7... *spews....
LATER
The Wireless Song had stopped by 4.30am. The only sound in the valley were the leaves dripping after all the rain. Again, the remarkable lack of heat that generally engulfs me as I began to walk on the Orbitrek and even here at the desk....*startled....
Does my Master happily claim in his defence that those particular attacks were due to my constant encroachments into HIS territory in efnet? That since he has blocked me so effectively from all irc, he has no need for the hate-filled cookups? *vomits...
Come, prove to me that you've not already lost control of your lackeys so early on.... Show me that you're still in charge...*grins... No can do? *falls over laughing... Remind me who it is that controls whom if you would, and try not to trivialise (!) the situation while you're at it....*laughing...
Frankly, I would rather be microwaved on high while struggling to guess the answers to a trivia bot than sitting here waiting for the bus to arrive....*sighs...
The punishment exceeded whatever crime you wrongfully accused me of, years ago...*snorts and remembers Johan Stolz' knowing grin...
The schadenfreude that you've all enjoyed for so long is made all the more disgusting when you can give me no better reason than 'I'm unpleasant'....*shrieks...
May I ask what that makes you? *interested.
The situation has sunk to clownish levels as Schabir and his boeties scramble to wire up the President's House before Mr. Zuma moves in... I'm betting the Old-Boys Network say they're fully aware of this and have the situation under control... Se VOET they have!!! *screams with laughter...
My next guess is that the left hand has lost track of the right and it's already a free-for-all out there! *cackles...
The Crooked Town Clerk will be bending all the non-existent rules to accommodate his good buddy Mo Shaik in his resumed rise to power...
The GameWrecker tells me that a highly respected South African seer (Credo Mutwa) once predicted there would be a Muslim President running this country. Is that so? Pick a Shaik, any Shaik? *beams...
I guess the prophet didn't misinterpret his vision, though the Whisperers are more likely to sit happily BEHIND the Throne than upon it...*coughs....
With the assistance of the Muni Network, their rule will be as absolute as were they themselves to wear the crown...*shrugs..
Don't fade on me now! You know I've more or less finished the puzzle for you and what do I get in return? A shutout? There is indeed no honour among thieves...*cackles...
Peace...
