UNGOVERNABLE...
(begun Monday 7th February at 2.20pm...)

*This morning, on boot-up, I find google running a delightful Nautilus-style logo on their home-page. You can actually use the joystick to move around.. Oddly enough however, hovering the curser over the logo, gives no indication of what it is they’re celebrating today… A little tweak from our gracious Network Administrator, or the real deal?*

By 12.30pm I'd published Slated then Feted and had gone over to mybroadband for a squizz… I'm off out for a while this evening, so it's easier to check out the Forum that much earlier than usual..
Believe it or not, the modem held rock-steady and the signal stayed solid at 100%, while the BF ran at it's least offensive… *keels over… A breakthrough?

At 12.45pm there came a great whistling and hooting at Bali’s gates, and I went to check and said aloud there were people visiting him… By the time I sat back down at the PC the modem was up to it's old tricks, and the BF had escalated… *sighs..
Both settled down again fairly smartly, though not before Himself had thumped noisily into the Wireless cable behind the telly… *yawns… Why do I bother repeating myself, post after post? The tech-minded users out there would probably know the second they had an intruder visit their PC.. It’s to the others I speak..
To those that know only the basics, and are therefore the most vulnerable to these stealthy take-overs.. Your initiation rites, when you joined the local WUG, included learning to hack into someone nearby’s system, amongst other things… Did you insist on being shown how to tell whether YOUR laptop/PC had an intruder?  Or do you feel something may have been exluded during that particular lesson?

Fascinating to find that those staunch freedom fighters, the ShaikBoyz, would've been collaborating with the Americans as far back as the nineties… Juggling and manipulating between them, to prevent the country from going to the dogs?   Their first recommended choice, Mbeki, didn’t work out, so they tried again with Zuma, and now it looks as though he too, has a mind of his own.. Who knew?

Never mind – It won't be much longer before the Project Authors here, and their USA counterparts, have everyone neatly parcelled up and labelled in little boxes, to be controlled at will…
Did Scotland Yard ever hear my cries, and did they check on the Controller managing their version of the Project over in Lichfield?  My sister sounds utterly disheartened at the moment, and though I tell myself it's just due to her circumstances and possibly the foul weather, I'd be obliged if the PTB could check the frequencies being used in her home.. The Broken Hands is a given, but I'm aware of another more damaging frequency that can lead to severe depression… If this is being ‘inadvertently’ flooded into their modest home, may I request that it be stopped?  She doesn’t need any additional misery right now…

Tuesday 8th February at 3.20am…

I was early as usual, so I hauled a chair outside onto the grass, and sat watching the kids playing soccer in the cool evening air… He'd said that just maybe, when the madressa and mosque are finally done, they'd find some proper goal posts for the youngsters to use, on the bit of field that’s left…
Can you imagine their faces when they arrive there to kick the ball around and find actual goalposts? *grins…
Not that, it will make much difference, if the field lights aren't working, as is so often the case these days… *spits at the Controller…
For our little exec. Meeting last night however, we had the full, blinding tooties running… Did the sudden decision to stay outside and hold our discussions in the open, cause a problem for the Listeners up on the Hill? *curious..

*It's 4.35am and suddenly a muffled car alarm sounds nearby.. A totally unfamiliar alarm, and one that I'm betting the Knob kick-started with his remote*

I was sitting, backed up to the wall of the little room that’s so heavily wired, and sure enough, by the time we began the Meeting, the BF had arrived out of the blue..*winks.. Millie may be the single most revolting sight in my world, but by golly, she’s reliable…* and there goes ChopBoy’s first nunu of the morning*

OK – Can I jump ahead of myself here?  Has the Crumb been told to prepare the Station for the return of the Sex-Offender at the end of March?  By prepare, I refer to the deliberately unacceptable behaviour against two of our community members over the past week?  Will there be similar outbursts over the weeks to come, in an effort to have you believe Dodge needs a man at the helm?
I use the term man loosely of course, when I refer to the Balletic Nose-Dive artiste who suddenly, sans his service revolver, had attempted to hide under his own desk..*cackles…
Is this what's behind the sudden flurry of abuse of innocent residents? *peers at the Theatrical Director.. Are you following orders to create a climate at Dodge that will ultimately have the One-Eyed Women-Abuser re-instated on his throne to ‘restore order’?  *falls over choking…
However far-fetched this speculation may be, I ask that you tuck it away and hold onto it for the next few months, until after Nayager’s final Hearing on the 26th March…

Last night’s little gathering provided both good news and bad.. The good is that my Chair has not yet after all, taken the bait he's been offered so winningly, and says he’s still considering it… *dances… The bad?  The unfortunate resident who's only been living in the area a couple of months, and was manhandled up at Dodge City yesterday afternoon, by an Officer in possession of the Dean Park Complex gate remotes… *waves to the Constable in question…
I backed you because you were kind to little Penny when she was in dire straits, despite that I've a Press photo of you flanking Tweedledum, as he strolled down the Court steps several years ago..*shrugs…
And Captain Murugen?  With his beautiful smile?  Wassup dewd?  Some days I feel really sad for the majority of people working up at Sydenham SAPS Station.  Never mind the day-to-day pressure of the job, when they have to deal with the enormous tension and undercurrents that abound among the Staff themselves… *eyeroll…

If indeed a deliberate attempt is being made to make Dodge ungovernable, in order to reinstate the Pig, it's no wonder several officers are taking strain..*sighs… I told you it was going to get interesting, did I not? 
Oh – and it turns out my man Captain S has even more arrows to his bow than I'd thought… None of which yet lead me to change my opinion about him… *waits…

It had gone 9pm by the time I cruised slowly homewards down the Crescent, and it seemed as if every single property had it's own Wireless device cricket that activated loudly as I passed by…*falls over cackling.. Geez Bali!  So busy enhancing our private conversations you forgot to de-activate those little buggers?  Either you're slacking, or you're just so full of yourself right now, you didn’t see the need to bother?
The latter would in fact fit nicely with my current speculation on a possible change of Admin at Dodge, in the near future… *winks…

As I sat, early yesterday morning, plodding my way through the list of recipients for our CPF Minutes, I was startled by an immediate response from the Station, querying the dates for our AGM.  An early morning meeting up there?  Did I misread the tone or was it amiable? (the GW didn’t see it as such, so maybe my head stalled there for a bit)..No name was given, and for a second Id thought it to be the Crumb having a bit of sport..*blinks..
It’s a sorry situation to have to say that the merest whiff of a friendly tone makes me more uncomfortable than I care to admit…
Behaviourists?  I'm guessing that’s about right for the victim of ungoing abuse? *interested…Whatever.  Whoever it was that mailed me from Dodge should know that I'm not in the market for friendliness on any level.  I have my unpleasant image to maintain and cannot be seen to be soft…*snarls…
You only need take a look at what's happened to those I judge as my real friends, and even my own family, and you will see why I'm to be avoided like the plague..
No-one has ridden to the rescue of the innocents I've tainted by my friendship, and no-one is going to, so if you don’t mind, I'll just sit here solo, and keep you posted on many of the finer aspects of this ambitious effort to enslave you all…
Aspects that were omitted from the fine print, when you signed up to this grand scheme…

When I got up this morning after 3am, it was to walk straight into a nice fat pocket of BF in my passage, which was maintained for some time, before he dumbed it down a bit.. An hour later, and I'm still conscious of it's presence..*gobs at the Controller..
The toppies are chatting out in the predawn light, and despite the windows all being open, this little house is like a sweat-lodge… February in Durban has always been a killer, and with the added presence of our Area Controller, the heat indoors can rise astoundingly.. *shrugs…

LATER at 9.15am

I'm on overload again…
I remember reading in yesterday’s Times, of Constantia residents down in the Cape taking a stand against a proposed vodacom cell mast.
Today’s Times on Page 6 is proof that Tracey-Lee Dorny was the wrong person to mess with.. *dances…  See “Cellphones a threat to Unborn Babies” and weep.. Yes, Mr. Boorman, but the frequencies currently being used here in the Zone at least, are nothing LIKE those within internationally set guidelines, now are they?  Not even close…
And that my dear Watson, is the one factor that won us the million-dollar (literally) award to run this giant experiment, that is the Project..

The ShaikBoyz and the Guptas, along with Telkom, saw no problem in exposing the population to this crud, and signed the dotted line with a flourish…
Which reminds me.. I hear the Whisperer has taken to hanging out at our Westwood Mall!  A long way off the beaten track at 343 Innes Road?  I'm guessing he regards it as his personal stomping ground, now that he’s free to come and go as he pleases?
And that, along with the rest of the Zone, it most certainly is…

My poor Controller follows me relentlessly.. As I stood at the till earlier, at Franks Nursery, I had a sudden noticable change in pressure and frequency in my ears… Want a cabbage Bali? 
How’d the monitoring go up at Engen, before that?  Any *coughs* problems?  *keels over laughing… Kindly excuse the extreme incoherence, but I've just a tad too much on my plate right now…
Peace.. *And now, just as I'm about to sign out and shut down?  I'm assailed by a dose of extreme toothache in my right jaw... Nailed once again by the Charmer.... *snorts...*

Tuesday 8th February 2011 at 10.41am..
SLATED, THEN FETED...
(begun Monday 7th February at 3.15am...)

Disappointed?  Surprised?  Not bloody likely! *grins… Our Controller, in his obtrusive role as third leg in our home, has heard me voice my misgivings for months already.
The astonishing 180 degree turn made, to court and woo my Chairman?  From slated to feted overnight? *winks… Politics – You’ve gotta love em… Sadly however, I’m inclined to judge people by the alliances they make.. Not all people, you understand..  Just a few….

The thready squeak of el Monstro’s wireless device kicks in just outside my window, and me and the Controller go into our familiar early morning tango… He squeaks, I spit, and he gradually increases the BF, so I don’t forget whose running the show… As if…. *eyeroll…

Tell me this Crumb – If I'd not bumped into Ms. M in the SAPS Parking Lot (bearing in mind that she too is apparently a mischief-maker, and only looking out for herself and her family), did you have other cards up those voluminous sleeves of yours, ready to play when the time was ripe? *teeth..
Am I foolish to think the incident wasn’t planned, but seized upon opportunistically, as one not to be missed?  Oops!
You called mommy in front of the unfortunate Ms. M, to whine that I was at it again?  At what, precisely?  Listening to someone voice their misgivings, is a crime? 
Is that one of the reasons you sit carefully tucked away in an office at the back, behind Admin, conducting the real business out of Dodge?  Ensuring the local rags are liberally sprinkled with pictures of yourself doing Good Works, and then demeaning a Community member when she’s directed to you for assistance?  Of course we only have her word for what transpired in your hidden away office last Thursday, and she’s a stirrer, according to your latest recruit.. *falls over shrieking..

Anyone who dares question what's going on up on the Hill, is automatically a Trouble-Maker?  *teeth.. That was the previous regime's attitude, and it appears you are carrying on the tradition.. I'm fairly flattered that you find me nuisance enough to act in such haste.. And there I'd been thinking I was less than a flea on an elephant’s arse…  *roffels…
Can I ask you something?
Did you even notice when you morphed into Glen Nayager last week?  When, instead of sticking to your role as a patient and reasonable Communications Officer for Sydenham SAPS, you lost the plot and instantaneously became a clone of your bullying and thuglike former Boss?  Once again, I only have Ms. M’s account of what went down, and of course, the record of that particular phonecall she made to me..
It’s gone missing?  Not?  Would you care to play it back for your Superior in it's entirety, or is she unaware that ALL my calls are monitored and recorded?

It's not all bad though, is it?  I'm certain you managed to recover the bit of ground lost, and scraped together enough to have made the effort worthwhile, and that whatever I say now, can and will be used against me?  *laughing…

I'd asked her why she thought my blog hadn't been shut down a long time ago, if it was such rubbish, and causing anger among certain members of the Community, and she'd replied that she didn’t know, unless it  was being regarded as entertainment, for the moment..*winks…

I’ve had a good run for my money so to speak, and if all I've achieved is to have gotten just ONE of you to sit up and think, it's been worth it.. *waves to rpm…
Did you know that the minute I open mybroadband, my little iBurst modem starts behaving badly, and I can watch the lights and signal fluctuating wildly, until I eventually sign out?  For all I know, it’s the norm for a signal to veer from 50% up to the 90%’s and back down, repeatedly, though oddly enough it doesn’t happen on other sites.. God,for a brain…*sighs…  The increase in the BF frequency during my visits is another story, and along the lines of Pavlov’s experiments, not so Jannie?
If it is consistently made physically unpleasant for me to visit mybroadband, I’ll eventually stop calling? You think?
As a Strategist, it's surprising how little you know of the female of the species, and how you continue to underestimate them….

At which point I feel it necessary to remind the Part-Time Activist that it goes without saying ALL her communications are being monitored closely, however vehemently this is denied.
That were she to arrange to meet someone at a particular venue, once there, she should move on to another unannounced site, to conduct her conversation…
Even then, may I suggest that cellphones are left locked in the boot of the car and that they sit outdoors to chat?
If her mode of transport has been in for repairs or a service over the last year or so, she may safely regard it as Live, and I kid you not.. *grins..
Technology is as much as 20 years ahead of what your average citizen is aware of, and that’s all you need to keep reminding yourself, as your Wugger friends carefully hoot with derisive laughter at each suggestion I make…

Who is it that has guarded me from shut-down for so long?  *curious.. Though they’ve not been able to lift a finger to prevent the pain I now endure, nor call off the Cur next door, the mere fact that for the moment at least, I'm free to carry on shrieking warnings in your direction, is an indication that I'm not alone after all…
Salacious Crumb is now making a determined effort to close me down… *interested.. Do you require further confirmation of where his allegiance lies?  You do not.. *eyeroll…

Once again, I'm treading a mine-field here, and employing unfamiliar caution.. You noticed?  *grins widely… Dammit, you weren't supposed to see me tippy-toeing carefully around that particular subject, and hopefully my sick Controller and his colleague the Crumb, have missed it altogether…

Anyone looking out for the genuinely Good cops out there?  Can anyone in power be bothered to check on them regularly?  I speak of course of the Colonels Marillier and Mngomezulu.. Both hastily transferred to areas where their noble intentions can't harm the criminals overseeing the Project, here in the Zone…
You'd forgotten all about them?  Sies vir julle… I like to pretend that once the Filth is finally toppled, these two policemen will finally be given the respect they so richly deserve…
It’s a mark of the rot, that they were so easily made to disappear…

Are YOU on the Team that applauds each time the Sex-Offender’s smug face appears in the Press, to announce that the latest charges against him have been dropped?  Do you seriously believe the fellow is innocent, or have you finally noticed that the Prosecution have made an astonishing amount of minor errors?  Errors that the quite brilliant Criminal Attorney, Anand Nepaul, has picked up on with ease…

The next, and I think the last, Hearing, is due to be held on 26th March, and I would be astounded were this pattern to suddenly change.. I'm confident that whatever the charges are, they too will fall away on a technicality, and that the convicted Sex Offender will emerge triumphant from the Court, braying that he is an excellent policeman, and that he was set up by his enemies... *falls over cackling...
Will his counterpart, the ex-Head of the Mountain Rise Station up in Sleepy Hollow, be grinding his teeth jealously at the enormous protection afforded his colleage in crime?  You betcha!  *roffels.. Badul just wasn’t important enough to warrant the effort, was he Earl?
Whereas your puppet Nayager has everything you need, to control the Zone..
On first name terms with all your Runners, and I'm betting he even treats your youngest Lieutenant in the Field with a certain amount of deference these days? *winks..

Did anyone whisper to Booysen to suggest that he try the Woman-Abuser in his search for the Blue Light Stalker, Ismail Sheik?  Worth a shot hey, though of course without Barnabas go-ahead, Nayager won't be able to assist, no matter how delicious the bait offered… *winks..

Be good and be kind..

Peace
