MILKING IT.....

(begun Monday 8th February at 5.30pm...)

Last night we were watching Devi on Carte Blanche, doing a piece on a religious cult in Mauritius... We passed the odd comment, before our Network Admin saw fit to black out the screen... The GW eventually reset the TV and there were no more problems...
This afternoon I sat watching a doccie on tiger fish in the Congo river and the sound went AWOL... *yawns...

What I'd like to know is this? Which part of these secretive but no doubt cast as legitimate 'tests' does this behaviour fall under? As long as this Oaf is allowed to mess with our electrical appliances, you'll have to accept that my claims have been spot on from the getgo and that ultimately our Head of Intelligence is happily employing criminals to run his Big Brother extravaganza....*shrugs...

I read this afternoon on the bblounge.co.za forum that mnet are finally airing the piece they did on the illegally erected iBurst tower in Craigavon.. Pity... I've a CPF Meeting on, but will ask the GameWrecker to watch and give me his views later....
That is of course, if either the screen or sound are not removed for the duration of the show...*waits with interest....
As blogged previously, Little Dick couldn't resist dipping the desk lamp repeatedly as I typed earlier today... And THIS is the rubbish I once considered a genius...*laughing..

Tuesday 9th February at 3.17am..

I guess one of the easier ways to wake the public up will turn out to be the electronic transmitter/receivers dotted about the area..
You're one of the elite Chosen and therefore won't have these dinky surveillance devices on your property...? You think? *teeth...
Who's the first one in your home to rise and the last to bed? Tis that individual who should now be asked whether they've noticed a buzzing 'insect' start up noisily as they pass in front of a specific window in their home... When they step out of the back door after dark, does another noisy buzzing begin almost immediately?
Your average cricket will AFAIK fall judiciously silent when it hears you.. Not so these nifty little gadgets that I suspect Peter Williams, Surveillance Specialist to Flame Lily, knows more about than most... *grins..

I guess it's when you cross some sort of invisible beam that causes these nunus to briefly but vociferously announce your presence. Once you've isolated the sound, twill be simple to check whether it occurs each time you stand in, or cross a particular spot either in or outside your home..
What their purpose is I'm not sure, but I'm never too shy to guess.... *beams.
If the surveillance surrounding your home has for some reason been fully activated, these devices will report back to YOUR Controller's PC that you are on the move...
Were you to engage in a conversation near to these gadgets, I'm fairly sure they could act as audio amplifiers and help relay your words back to the data thief... In our case that would be Colin Balliram... *shrugs..
Put together with the silver bands now holding Telkom's fibre optic cabling to your streetlight and I guess the PTB can pick up most conversations made outside in your grounds or on your verge as well...

The Turncoat, Salacious Crumb, attended our CPF Meeting which was held el fresco last night... I would hazard that neither he nor his seriously out of depth Crime Desk Head had any plans to show up until Colin Balliram intercepted a text reminder of the Meeting that I'd sent to the interim Station Commander...
At which point the SAPS Comms. Officer would have hastily and obsequiously presented himself to the Newbie and said that he was volunteering to attend, despite that SAPS are only obliged to be there once a month...
What selfless dedication Laz! What commitment above and beyond the call of duty! *rolls about laughing... It's all about getting milage out of your new role as Mister I Was Never Nayager's Man, is it not?

After the Meeting, when the Captain has raced back over to Dodge City to eavesdrop on the ensuing conversations held over coffee outside the fully wired Engen garage, was he crushed by the poor marks he'd been given for his evening's performance?
How much time did he and his cohorts then spend on figuring out suitable punishment to be meted out to his chatty critics? *interested...
You will recall how swiftly the cherry-picker left the area last week, once their presence had been noted.
Parked as it was, alongside our CPF Comms. Officer's streetlight? Have they returned surreptitiously since then and 'adjusted' his power supply?
I guess we'll know one way or another, once the journo's TV screen begins to behave as badly as ours does, hey Bali? *winks...
It's these adjustments made that allow our Controller to refine and isolate his attacks to specific chosen jackpoints round the home..

Though Balliram is already creating problems for the unfortunate journo and the appliances he uses to earn his living, he will be itching to be more creative in his attacks... A pity then that his dedication to nailing me will enable me to discuss any similarities that occur to the journo... Already he's astonished at my accuracy in predicting the problems he now encounters with his lighting system, his phone and his computers...

To those of you who consider yourselves to be on the 'good' team out there, I must ask how you can possibly condone the focus now put on the journo... The Courageous Couple will have convinced you over the years that the 'punishment' he metes out to us in particular are deserved. That my unpleasantness merits the surges and tweaks he continues to send our home..*shrugs..

Have you met our CPF Comms. Officer, the journo? You can't be sold on the guy simply because of who his great grandfather was? I've got news for you... He does try to walk in his famous relative's footsteps, and a fairer more tolerant person you'd struggle to find... He is an asset to our neighbourhood, and as such to our CPF, is he not Salacious Crumb? *waves...
You may continue to swamp the fellow with your friendly asides and comradely attitude, but I'm here to tell you it's a wasted effort....
The sudden about-face in your demeanour has been noted by more than just us..*grins..
In fact, your efforts are now so ludicrously over-the-top, one has to wonder whether you've had an offer from Barnabas himself? *peers keenly at Laz....

Why only now since One-Eyed Jack is temporarily out of the area, do the Informal Settlers begin to attend our CPF Meetings? Who is it that suddenly encouraged them to arrive and sit with us? Could it be Capt. Lazarus himself that seeks to paint a pretty picture for Willies and Holson after all this time? *beams.. Nailed!
I can't deny my pleasure at the sight of the shack-dwellers attendance.. However, the proof is most certainly in the pudding and I wait with great interest to see whether any of the problems they bring us are attended to... Will the sellers of illegal electricity at Lacey Road be arrested or left to continue their flourishing business, since the member so bravely pointed out the thieves homes to the cops?

I'm generally the first to arrive at the Hall on Meeting nights... (Missus Keen personified...) I was still busy setting up chairs outside when a car pulled in and headed onto the field to a corner nearby.. Four young men emerged and made themselves comfortable on the grassy bank and began a drinking session..
It was pointed out to me much later that Salacious Crumb had chosen a seat in our circle directly facing the youthful imbibers, and yet he said not a word....
It was left to a CPF Member to point them out to the SAPS Comms. Officer later during the Meeting, whereupon he called for a couple of officers from Dodge who promptly arrived and removed the offenders...*grins...
Another little pre-arranged side-show that went wrong? Was it the Captain himself who was to have sudddenly pointed out the drinkers and dealt with them for our benefit? Were the remarks overhead later , that it was odd for a policeman not to have noticed those obviously trashed youngsters sitting directly in his line of sight, met with frustrated irritation? *cackles..

Ahhh Lazzie - You and Balliram appear to have jumped ship and distanced yourselves from the Peeg that headed the Station, and yet the nonsense continues unabated....
The staunch interim Commander acted on the journo's query and shut down Charlie's shebeen.. Was this DESPITE his aide's warning that the shebeen owner would immediately take out an interdict against him and tie him up in court? *interested....
Or is the Newbie being left to find out the rules of the zone the hard way?

The crime stats are still on the increase and will remain so while der Kommissar sits in limbo...
The Labour Court meets again today, supposedly to decide his fate... Unless of course the State Advocate can produce another reason for a postponement? What's the plan Joe? *waves... Milking the state, was the term the journo used in disgust as we left the courtroom last week...

Peace julle...
PS: I was still busy editing my masterpiece at 12.26pm when the iBurst connection was summarily dropped. Repeated attempts to re-connect failed... *grins widely..... Finally re-connected at 12.34pm.
