THE MULETEER....
(begun Tuesday 2nd February at 3.55am...)
Consider this. After Sheryl and her drug mule enterprises were outed it went fairly quiet, and we pretty much forgot about it didn't we? Maybe the PTB were busy gathering further evidence? Bah! They had all the proof they needed, but she was deliberately set aside to be used for bigger things..
You have to wonder whether Mo Shaik has been in touch with Sheryl's better half recently.. Has he offered his support to save the guy's job in return for a favour? Or will he also lose his head as well in a clear demonstration of what can happen if you cross the Whisperer's path?
As you know, Sheryl's old man is the Minister of State Security... Is there a chance he would be asked to try and influence Nathie Mtethwa (Minister of Safety & Security) and the Provincial Police Commissioner Mamunye Ngobeni? Yep, the same Mtethwa that der Kommissar squeals is trying to have him ousted from Sydenham Station...
It makes sense that Sheryl's bad behaviour could now be used as a lever to pressure her husband into trying to persuade Mtethwa to stop his persistent attempts to have the Abuser removed from his throne... Ouch!
Do I think the Good Super was a fraction too optimistic on the outcome of der Kommissar's transfer? Could it be that Cwele will be coerced into pressuring Nathie to abandon his friend the Good Super's cause, in an effort to save his own neck from the chopping block?
Mo Shaik's PR machine, being what it is by now, can with a little effort, get Minister Cwele off the hook and make it appear that he genuinely had no idea of his wife's extra-mural activities.. Alternatively he can see to it that the guy loses his job and all the juicy perks that go with it...
All in return for one little favour...
Cwele will have to sweet talk the rebels into dropping their case against der Kommissar... *blinks..
Maybe I've over-simplified the situation, but I'm hoping there won't be a surprise turn-around when the Labour Court re-convenes on 4th February to decide whether One-Eyed Jack goes or stays...*shrugs..
The phone lines will have been humming like demented bees for days.. Calls that will all have been monitored and recorded by the wondrous Information Theft technology, giving the Head of Intelligence the advantage he needs to stay ahead of the pack...
Course I hope I'm wrong, and that Mo has agreed that One-Eyed Jack has drawn more than enough bad publicity to the Big Brother Project and he must go.
But still, you've got to be realistic here... If neither Mo nor Barnabas have been able to find a suitable replacement to run Dodge City, it's possible the Abuser will have to be re-instated, at least for the moment... *gags...
The juggling skills employed by the ShaikBoyz will redeem the Project in it's investors eyes somewhat, though the Molestor will have to be on his very best behaviour from now on...
Can you see that happening? You really think this power-crazed goonda will be sufficiently chastened to change his ways?
The Abuser has seriously offended his immediate Superiors and will now have to watch over his shoulder every day, should he return to Sydenham... *grins...
You've nodded off again? None of this behind-the-scenes powerplay interests you in the least? Idiots!
If Mo can sort this mess out and get the Project back on track here in the Zone, we will continue to be the blue-print for the rest of the country..
Rest assured there are other Station Commanders countrywide, that watch these proceedings with more than passing interest...
That will be encouraged to learn from the huge mistakes taking place at Dodge City....
Either way, der Kommissar will emerge as a buffoon, whether he's reinstated or not... Despite all the deliberate stalling on his transfer, it appears that good old Sheryl is the best that the Whisperer may come up with... Would it work? Would it save der Kommissar's rotten hide, or is it too late...? Watch this space... *waves...
I was cutting back the shrubs at the wall between me and Bali's house a few days ago.. Not in the front by the valley, but at the back by his garage.. The darned coral creeper has sprung back into life after all the rain, and threatens to choke everything else... I chopped off several bracts of the pretty blossoms and realised that I was dodging some rather fierce bees at the same time.. Bees? We're not supposed to have bees FFS! Is this a good sign? None of the disorientated bees have returned to visit the bird tray in months, and yet here at the back they seemed happy enough...
Add to that the sound of a solitary toad croaking under my bedroom window last night, and I might be tempted to think our Controller is taking rather more care with the emissions at last...
You'll have to pardon my scepticism at this point, as Colin Balliram still retains his title of Least Likely to be Trusted, in my book...
The most FAQ I get when I raise the subject of how we down here became the Test Dummies for the Project is "What did you do to deserve it?" Always, the implication is that I specifically merited the shocking abuse meted out over the years...
Did the Courageous Couple play down the fact that it was the Neighbourhood Watch started by my friend R that first began to irritate Koobair the Squat up at Dodge City?
My bet is that they will deny knowledge of this, but you only have to check their waving noses... *cackles..
It was Koobair the Squat that had all the members phonelines tapped by his stooges over at Telkom Overport.
Furious that he was finally pried from his position, when it was proven he was selling stolen cars from the Station itself, he had scores to settle...
I've told you repeatedly how he was expelled in disgrace only to be awarded the position of Druglord Co-ordinator for SA? Tis due entirely to his and Barnabas' manipulation that we down here became the Test Dummies for the Project...
There was nothing Allen Spence or Mike Oliver could do but obey orders?
If I were to consider for one minute that either of them have suffered the slightest twinge of conscience, I'd be deluding myself even further... *grins..
LATER at 6.40am..
It's a blissfully cool, damp morning here in the valley and I'm hard-put to tear myself away and attend to my few domestic chores....
Can you see now why the two cops laughed so derisively when I suggested Bheki Cele had a hand in the attempted removal of One-Eyed Jack?
The Whisperers are running rings around the Government appointed officials, who have either under-estimated the Information Theft Project or are totally unaware of it's existence...
That was the intention all along was it not?
Where is the Third Force in all of this? Do the OldBoys Network sit silent and watch with interest or do they stand for what little good that remains and back der Kommissar's transfer?
I guess the outcome is going to show one way or another how deep the rot has spread....
I remain true to form and continue to support the losing team.
I don't buy the torrent of corruption exposed in the Press, and feel that many have been encouraged to line their coffers by cunning tutors, to suit the Shaikboys ends... (Much as our Controller himself tutors neighbourhood youngsters on hacking into their neighbours pc systems).
To have you believe that the only answer is to support the Info Theft Project mindlessly, and it's worked has it not? *shrugs...
Back to reality.... How's old Bernie and his Missus doing up there at No. 17? I watch as his girls dutifully activate specific lights to order, and wonder how the oldies are bearing up as Balliram plays merrily with the different combinations... More aches and pains than ever in their joints? You blame the damp weather? When the rain finally stops and we have endless sunny days again, what will then be blamed for their increased discomfort? Any palpitations or nausea? Will one or other succumb to a heart attack as did the previous tenants? *interested....
Despite that my gormless struggles continue to amuse and delight so many of you, I remain adamant that I take offence at the quality of characters appointed to run the Project here in the Zone.. At the top you have the Druglord Barnabas, whom no amount of careful sprucing up can remove the filth from his hands... Next you have the Head of Sydenham Station, who has proven to be a criminal in his own right...
And last but not least, lurks Colin Prakash Balliram, fumbling Would-Be Secret Agent and purveyor of lies...
He tells you he runs only one or two of his many stunning SE's these days and isn't attacking us at all? *falls over laughing.. That's not what my raddled old body tells me, and specifically my ears...
By all means stay in your comfort zone and ignore the obvious... Until quite possibly YOUR street is graced with a similar petty criminal who changes your life forever... *waves...
I had a word with my ex-Treasurer's recently retired better half, yesterday.. turns out that his hugely expensive TV (blogged recently) wasn't the only thing that's been damaged via the powerlines lately, and he's lost a steady stream of other appliances over the last few months... Bear in mind they share the same circuit as us.... *looks at the Insurance Scammer..
I guess this creature has yet to plumb the depths that he'll sink to, to impress his equally criminal connections, though he's fairly disgusting already... Three cheers for the Wikked!
Peace..
PS Augustine said just now that I'm way off the mark with this latest speculation. I sure hope he's right....
