DON'T THINK TWICE...
(begun Monday 4th January at 9.00am....)
The rain held off just long enough for me to tramp next door and feed Joey.. The routine is simple.. While he stuffs his face, I pull off the ticks that have been gorging on him since I gave him yesterday's breakfast... Gross, but necessary...
I went looking for the Abahlali Press releases this morning and found no updates... I did however read something I'd obviously missed previously, which quotes Sbu Zidoke's girl Friday, Zodwa... She states quite clearly that Sydenham SAPS and the Abahlali had achieved a working relationship, and mentions der Kommissar by name. It was decided mutually, between the Community and the Sydenham Police to close the shebeens at 10.00pm... It sounds like that's about when the shit hit the fan and the shebeen owners ran squealing to their buddies who arranged for the attacks on the Settlement to take place... She writes tactfully that Sydenham SAPS were 'sidelined' while the mayhem ensued, and it's clear the cops were issued with orders from their Superiors to stay out of it and do nothing... *sighs...
Not that different to what I'd written already, though I still can't figure out why One-Eyed Jack resents having the remaining five stooges locked up at Dodge City...*curious... Why he laughingly told us at a Motherbody Meeting that the Kennedy Road prisoners had got the idea the police were going to poison them, and refused to eat.
Why he didn't THANK me for giving them food, which they did eat, and instead blew his top at my involvement, to my Chairman? If he's still insisting that he retains a good relationship with the Abahlali despite the Ruling Party's orders, why victimize the Kennedy Road Prisoners at all? *waves to Dean.... No, don't jump like that dude, I see you there.....
Victimize, hmm... Now there's a word I've heard very recently, though the details of the context it was used in, weren't given to me at the time... *belches....
The five remaining Abahlali prisoners are heading for their eighth? bail hearing on 22nd January .. Will the Prosecutor be persuaded to avoid the Courts that day? Will the Investigating Officer suddenly find he has more important matters to attend to? What do you think or care? *shrugs..
Tuesday 5th January at 4.55am...
This morning my spirit is as grey as the sky outside the window... Will I wallow in the Slough of Despond or rise above it? Pretty much the only 'encouragement' I've ever had for my persistence over these past years has been in the form of increased attacks, and I guess that most of you regard my muleish (sp) stubbornness as further proof of my stupidity... *snorts...
When you consider the ease with which the Strategist has had debbie silenced, and the continued careful chipping away at her credibility, this idiot Toad never stood a chance...*coughs....
Lord, how I've waited for the Good to come galloping down the pass to save me... Eternally optimistic that Right will prevail.... NOT. *laughing... It's been quite a wake-up call to find that despite her credentials, the Environmentalist has had a similar lack of support... The upshot seems to be that there simply are no heroes to be found in Geekdom.. That despite your stunningly articulated logic and commonsense, and the ability to put each other down savagely, there isn't a backbone between you...*sniffs... You're just too bright to get involved in what you consider a lost cause? You've not the means to relocate, and have your own welfare to consider?
Tis these insecurities that Jannie and his Superiors feed on, you can be sure.. I guess you're comfortable ignoring the obvious? You've allowed the personal clash between rpm and debbie to deflect your attention from the iBurst Mast saga and as such, have been played like a fish....
My trademark rhetoric and repetition haven't saved me, so why would I think it's going to help the Political Science Grad? Hell, I dunno - maybe I'm hoping you'll experience some sort of epiphany and rally to her aid..
Maybe you'll wake up and start paying attention to who it is that is now individually manning these Masts and whether they're qualified to do so...*looks at it's own Network Admin.
Whether the person controlling the Mast and the power circuits nearest your home is merely an IT specialist with no Electrical Engineering degree whatsoever, but rather one who has been given a computer program purporting to allow even the unqualified to handle the power supplies...
That's about the crux of the matter isn't it Allen? No way could the country supply the amount of qualified EE's needed to run the Information Theft Project so bugger that, we'll use any old Cracker that's available? *gags...
How to choose? Why, we'll leave that up to the Whisperers in Government to decide... Danged if it's your responsibility to check out the nominee's background and connections to the criminal underworld hey? Ek maak sterk beswaar Jannie!!!! *stomps off to feed the birds....
LATER at 12.20pm
I took myself over to the SPCA on the far side of Springfield Park after 8.00am this morning... I found the Twins there once before if you remember, though this time I was just going through the motions..*shrugs.. I walked the walk past all the cages giving each one a treat and a word, but it's all Bullshit and they know it....
I didn't expect to find her, and guess that dead or alive Pepsi is much closer to home right now.. You'll remember that B.Snr asked what he should do with Khaled's very dead Jack Russell the other day? And I'd said bag it and drop it over the uncaring owner's wall?
So, what do you think Pepsi did when she, Cola and Nobby were let out onto the road again once I'd left for the braai on Sunday? When the Twins found they couldn't get back in under my wall in the valley? Did she go willingly to someone who called her? Did she hang around No. 2 for just a fraction longer than was good for her health? *curious..
Cola is safe at home today due to his suspicious nature and nothing else.... Did you see the Never-ending Story? Remember the soft-hearted dragon? The GW once pointed out to me that Pepsi is/was a miniature version of that beast and he was right.... *sighs... I find it odd that Missus Courageous hasn't shown a shred of interest in her little dog's whereabouts... Does she know something I don't? *fascinated....
I was smiling at the occasional howls of outrage and disgust over our President's fifth marriage... He can take 50 wives for all I care, if they keep him in an amiable frame of mind... Course it's going to take megatons of lucre to keep THEM all happy, and that's where you and I come in... *beams...
My Chair rang early this morning to say he'd be round to ours after lunch, to explain his odd behaviour at the braai... These days it appears the straight and narrow that he was always determined to walk, is now littered with distractions and temptation....*sighs... I remember well how merrily he'd laughed at my warnings when he first got the job... Have the lines between Good and Bad become blurred since then, as I'd predicted they would?
Is it becoming harder to tell right from wrong? Is it easier to just go with the flow and smack down that pesky and persistent little croak in his ear? *curious.... My Chair is fortunate that he has no need to step out of his own front door to find a better and more trustworthy advisor than he already has FFS....!
The two army choppers went by as I sat out on M's verandah having coffee earlier today.. I stood up and saluted but doubt that they saw me...*chortles... Was it 125 helicopter pilots that are currently being trained at Virginia Airport? Will they ultimately be assigned to installing the Project across the land, as our AirWing boys are doing here now? To flying endlessly back and forth between Mast and Base-stations, capturing the latest linkups via their onboard computers?
Wednesday 6th January at 4.05am..
I remember getting up for a pee at 10.55pm last night and being startled by the loudness of the Wireless Song.. Though there's no way it would ever keep me from my slumbers, is this the same noise that drives residents in New Germany and Westville to distraction? The sound of humming they say is coming from the Masts?
It can't be a bad thing despite that some may find it irritating, for I've told you how I once heard it flowing out from der Bunker itself, albeit briefly... Though he never repeated the exercise, that particular SE sitting outside on his valley-facing wall (the very same one that slowed and nearly killed a whole section of the giant strangler fig below) has almost the capabilities of a proper Mast then? *fascinated...
Which of the similar 'lights' over at St. Theresa's are the one's my Master runs at full strength each night to cause the full-throated Wireless Song?
(BTW, you can quit the smear campaign already Jannie... I've never needed your help in dragging my name through the mud, and am content to continue doing my own PR ta...*winks..)
Colin Balliram was waiting for me as I sat down here at the desk this morning, and a sudden dull ache hit my head...*touched.. That's a first, but certainly not a last, hey Stalkerman? *cackles.. It didn't last more than a few seconds, but was fairly surprising in it's intensity... I'm betting he can do better than that....
This brutal, cowardly and criminal Cracker is the epitome of the moral decay of our country, (gotta love the pomposity), but is vital to the Project, and therefore will be permitted to continue the abuse of lesser creatures such as dogs and toads, unabated... *shrugs... Cest la vie....
Peace...
