DOUBLE-DEALING...

(begun Sunday 31st January at 8.15am...)

How ironic that Sheryl Cwele has been the first one caught, to actually see the inside of a cell, albeit a brief sojourn.... Is it because of who she's married to? *curious...
You don't get it do you? Her misdeeds involve drug smuggling do they not?
Yet you don't have a problem with the Druglord Barnabas running the Information Theft Project and having control over the Zone? Bit of the old double-standards there don't you think? *shakes it's head..

Just how long has the creepy Salacious Crumb been playing his careful two-faced game? Purportedly backing away gingerly and steadily from his deranged Chief, in a cowardly attempt at self-preservation? I guess he's been diligently covering his own tracks for over a year now.. A remark here, a whisper there, with plenty of photo-shoots in between, hey Laz?

An old civilian with an earned reputation as a gossip? Why would the Trouble-Shooter listen to me? If his demeanour as he passed me at speed last week was anything to go by, he won't *cackles...
Someone has told him that he can trust the SAPS Comms. Officer and I spose at this point he's no choice...*shrugs... Has he been persuaded to shrug off my quiet words already, or will they remain tucked in some corner of his head to come back and bite him somewhere down the line?

Captain Lazarus is as much an accomplice to the shooting at Siripat Field back in 2008 as if he'd pulled the trigger himself.. I'm guessing there's many of you out there that would say that all big mouths deserve similar punishment? No? C'mon Ridwaan, admit it... You're still cheesed off that it had to be a flesh-wound aren't you?
It was organised down to the last detail, and that was the SAPS Comms. Officer's job...
Right down to placing the orange bollards where no-one could obstruct the sniper's view and then to subsequently calling One-Eyed Jack to tell him when the deed was done... *vomits copiously...

And this dear Reader, is who the interim Station Commander has been assured is a good chap. The one that will assist the Newbie in rooting out some of the corruption at Admin level...*falls over laughing at the con job...
I suggested to the new guy that he speak to the average man in the street to get at the truth, but of course he won't be doing that.. It's always been Them and Us, and it ain't gonna change anytime soon..
There may well be a cosmetic shuffle take place at Dodge City, but basically nothing much will change at all...

Zain (or Zainub as I see he's calling himself now), could do worse than take a leaf out of the Sunday times Extra journalist's book.... Zain's sheepish grin pictured in last week's Rising Sun said it all... Bought and paid for...
Give him a break? He's no desire to be a hero and actually INVESTIGATE the stories he hears on his travels in the Zone?
He finds it easier to write on what's blatantly fed to him, by what he perceives to the the Winning Team? *sighs...

With one word the Sunday times journo revealed the truth surrounding der kommissar.. INFAMOUS, he most certainly is... You're going to tell me he achieved that title without the serious support of his right-hand man at the Station? You want to take issue with that Laz? Course you do, you pompous prick.... *roffels...

Your cover was blown at our CPF Meetings a long time ago, though our input counts for squat. How can you fail to see the collective eye-rolling that ensues when you trot out your tired 'I take issue with that' phrase? *grins... You would have the Newbie believe that mine is a lone crusade and personal? Have you introduced him to the Station's amiable IT Security advisor yet?
Or is he to be a well-kept secret at least for the moment? *looks at Balliram... You running the show from 6 Garbutt Road till things quieten down? The streetlights on that stretch by your brother-in-law have been active 24/7 for weeks... *interested...

Monday 1st February at 4.00am...

My word, but there was a thumping great storm last night! Did you bring your terrified animals into the kitchen while it lasted? Good man!
No, I'm not talking to you Bali, your ignorance and cruelty are your trade-mark, dude... *snorts..

I was wrong to think the mention of mercury levels in local fish made in the press lately, would die a quick death, though I've yet to see anyone dare bring up the energy-saving lightbulbs in this regard.
The push to saturate the country with those deadly bulbs didn't last that long. What happened to the balance of that huge contract? Are they still sitting in a warehouse somewhere or could they have been dumped out to sea?
If there was genuine concern for the invironment, a serious effort would be underway to find which lucky auntie/uncle imported those beauties and where exactly they were stored...
If indeed crates were tipped over the side of some dodgy vessel in the dead of night, how long would it take for their killer content to begin leaking out into the ocean?
You've got more important things to worry about right now? I guess you've got that right...*snorts..

My CPF Chair has finally been told by the Rotten Apples at Dodge that there are a total of four cameras in Sydenham.. *falls over laughing... I still insist that they're everywhere, and probably come as a standard fitting in the new streetlight cowlings.. How could you tell, when the microwave boffin himself says that these days cameras are the size of a small blister?

Never mind the now legal tapping and control of your phones.. It's the cameras that are going to make it a doddle for organised crime bosses to score bigtime.. That would include YOU Earl, fosho... *waves..
One phonecall to Dodge to have them activate the camera nearest a specific address and let you know when the house is empty, and another to your hijacking/house robbery contractor and, Voila! There's no longer any need for a physical lurker to spend days figuring out the occupant's movements. The possibilities are now endless...

Yeah, you still shrug me off as a melodramatic doomsayer, and yet I'm betting there's a tidy sum changing hands in your neighbourhood right now, as this sort of information is bought and sold by the Controller in charge of YOUR power circuit...

LATER at 8.10am..

I'm as interested as ever... Tellus Laz - when did you make your first foray into the world of snitching? Quite possibly done on the advice of that other master camp-hopper, Colin Balliram? *grins..
Did you make a call or two soon after the Sexual Harrassment offences came to light in the Press? No, not back when they actually took place, but when it became public knowledge and you started getting looked at sideways?
Do I hear you saying you simply couldn't stand by and let those poor staff members endure the degradation? So you called in and offered to be the Station Snitch all that time AFTER the girls were molested?
Much like your Other Boss Barnabas, your attempts at appearing a Mr. Squeaky-Clean are a giant fail.... *laughing..
I guess that about the same time you appeared to swop camps, was when you started flashing that clunky crucifix around your neck?
Allow me to introduce you to Dodge City's 'Intellectual', folks! The guy who can't help but see himself as a cut above the rest, right Lazzie?
How many Press articles on the station's support of Abused Women did your round face feature in?

And all the while you gleefully sat back and condoned what was happening down this end of the Zone? To Sue the Book, her old lady, Penny Ndenga, to name just a few.... That was different? How FFS?
I swear each time I see your mug adorning a press release on the Abuse of Women, I give an involuntary shudder... You're better than der Kommissar how? *falls over shrieking...
Man, you'd best hope your usefulness to both sides doesn't run out anytime soon.. You may think you've fooled the interim Station Commander, but if he's half as good as he comes across, you'd better watch your sorry arse... *grins...

You never seriously thought I'd settle for just the removal of One-Eyed Jack surely? After seeing you were clearly the Officer in Charge that day at Siripat Field? *roffels...
Again, this house of cards trembles on it's foundations as Mo Shaik pulls the strings and heads begin to roll...
The last thing our Head of Intelligence wanted was to lose Barnabas' Puppet here in the Zone.. I guess you lot made one too many powerdrunk errors?

You're an amateur Sonny Jim.. An amateur that enjoys the abuse of the vulnerable and weak as much as the perverted Kommissar and his sick lackey Colin Balliram ever did...
Who are you to decide whether a chosen victim DESERVES the attentions paid them by the Rotten Apples and that arch bullyboy Balliram? Gotcha! *grins.. I would suggest that you've been a prolific script-writer and editor for many of Dodge City's AmDram productions..

If Tweedledumb loses his battle and is removed, will he turn on you and if not, why not? Will he decide to take this Faker down with him in flames? And if he doesn't, you have to wonder if all is quite how it appears to be, or whether this entire transfer drama is just another smokescreen...

Peace dudes...
