SUMBANDILA...
(begun Sunday 11th March at 5.15am..)

*Further Edit at 10.06am.  Interesting to find a HUGE gap at the bottom of this published post, and just before my Things Best Left Unsaid post published the day before.*

*An error? Conflicting interests, as someone or something may be trying to edit this post at the same time? Pfft....Another thing - It would appear that more spitefully engineered mischief is being caused to our precious and horrendously expensive DSTV service.  Lately the picture has been dropped, but not to black, but rather a deep, dark, purplish blue.. A loss of satellite signal? Nope, as the little red light on the decoder doesn't come on, and the info bar loads OK, as do the other channels. Oddly enough, this only seems to occur when we're watching the channels we favour..  The Universal Channel (not a particular favourite) 108, more often than not has no picture, but the sound is there...*looks at the Chop...   Here's an idea Balliram - Get over yourself?*

Wouldn't you expect to find that in the Beginner's Guide to Mind-Games?  Have the PTB heavy-handedly insist there'll be a 25% hike in the cost of electricity, and let the ratepayers stew over it for a while, then come on in and say it'll only be a 16% increase after all?  Your average mug will be so darned relieved that they won't see how neatly they've been conned... *vomits...
While the FatCats at Eskom roll about gleefully in the wads of cash coming their way, the Consumer is being systematically bled dry.... Without so much as a peep, you're going to fork over another 16%, to basically pay for the violation of your Constitutional Right to Privacy?

If I knew the whole story, I'd understand why this is the only way to save the country?  You don't say?  And just who is going to tell me the whole story?  Jannie van Zyl, who has lied consistently from day one, and who cares for his fellow-man as little as Collin P. Balliram?  Beeuwyn Gerryts and Denel, who appear to have their fingers in more pies than I can begin to comprehend?
It would have to be a damned fine story to persuade me to add it to my already over-loaded shopping cart.. A cart that's groaning under the weight of the bullshit Specials that have been doing the rounds since the red-eyed Superintendent of Electricity for Durban arrived to stand on my verge, flogging his highly technical computerised anti-cable theft technology...*snorts...

It's the appalling levels of crime that have convinced you to buy into this wondrous wireless scheme?  As incomprehensible as it is for you to grasp, the crime in this country has been engineered by the very same people who claim to have found the solution... *gags...
How else could the telecoms industry convince the masses to embrace the Surveillance technology, but through the use of extreme terror tactics?
What other reason could they possibly have had for handing the power into the hands of some of the most reprehensible criminals in the land?

Records of the demonstration set up by Nayager and Balliram, that resulted in the theft of Sue the Book's ancient banger from off her locked property, and later her kid's new motorcycle, would no doubt have done the rounds in all the other provinces...
A classic How-To, employing both the audio and visual technology rigged up on the streetlights by your local Muni, along with the white wireless boxes supplied by Telkom.  Balliram would've monitored the sounds made by the sleepers inside the house, and quite possibly flooded that little home with the Chonic Fatigue frequncy to ensure they didn't stir... Using cellphones and the minute cameras in the cowlings, the thieves would've been in constant communication with Balliram and Nayager, making both operations a piece of cake to accomplish...  You'd better believe that there are hundreds more crimes taking place across the Zone, using the same techniques and the wireless technology, many of which may well end, or have ended, in bloodshed...

Where are the two pioneers of the initial crimes demonstrated so ably by use of the Surveillance Technology, today? Well, you all know that Nayager lost the plot and was terminated for becoming what Barnabas regarded as a liability...  My Controller?  As a Cracker with 'connections', he remains useful, and has been permitted to cross the floor, where he sits smugly on the so-called Good Team, from where he continues to torture the innocent with impunity....
You've seen to it that he's curtailed his extra-curricular activities?  Bullshit!  You've done no such thing, as evidenced by the day-long assault on my kidneys last Friday... Sure, I lean to a nauseatingly melodramatic turn of phrase, though I'd kill for the ability to be objective and concise.. Why that flaw should in any way be allowed to detract from this Brute's ongoing and savage behaviour I cannot fathom, though I'd suggest it says pretty much all that needs to be said about the ethics that are nowhere to be found in this gigantic culling exercise...
Hell, if you're fortunate to escape unscathed from the hugely increased levels of EMR and wireless frequencies in the air, your local Area Controller may well choose, or be given, your property and it's inhabitants to use as a demo model, and a learning tool for his pupils... *spews...

LATER at 8.55am

The additional mischief I'd predicted would increase up by my kid's home in the Midlands, appears to have reared it's ugly head in the early hours of this morning..
A coincidence that the Aviator and S were down here with us for the night, leaving the elderly widowed landlady and her trusted Induna to face the thieves that arrived by moonlight?
The 'theft' of the Telkom lines last year was tantamount to a public announcement that the terror tactics were about to be stepped up to pave the way for wireless saturation...
 No one was hurt and they failed in their attempts to steal the vehicles, but you can guarantee they'll be back soon enough... The Induna had called S when his employer hadn't answered her cellphone straight away, and S in turn had called the Nottingham Rd. Station for assistance, only to be told there were no vans available.. Deja vu, perchance?  *winks...
A script that's being followed countrywide, and one that may well have had it's origins at our very own Dodge City, being as how we were the trial area for the fantabulous Wireless Surveillance Project here in KZN.

Who is it that now monitors the rondavel my kid occupies, by means of a device hidden within, while she was visiting the UK? Someone on the hillside just across the other side of the Mooi River Road?  Will Balliram admit that Nayager arranged for that stealthy installation to be carried out, or will he pull his familiar eye-rolling 'I don't know what she's talking about' denials?  The same routine he doubtless used when I first suggested that the newer streetlight cowlings contained technology that was extremely useful to the criminals operating the wireless-over-powerlines system...

Has the ever-so obliging Mistuh Spence come up with an explanation for that busy little device inside the cowling, that Balliram allowed me to capture on camera?  Did the Lord High Poobah insist that it's nothing to do with a sophisticated cctv system, but simply some random device that now and then activates itself? *chokes... My guess is that you're fully aware of the Courageous Couple's artful prevarications, and that it suits you to continue employing them for the moment at least....
For this reason I guess I could be forgiven for my inability to recognize good on either team, and I'll continue to insist that the Opposition are every bit as dodgy as the Ruling Party... *shrugs...

Monday 12th March at 4.15am

Let's get Balliram's moment of pleasure over with first, shall we?  For a change I actually put the lamp on, and wrote it down at 2.30am, when that deep unpleasant ache at the top of my old thighs woke me, and once again a couple of my fingers were frozen.. At some point after that, there came a flurry of eye-watering Knives to the Back, and it became quite clear that the Sadist was playing our song.. One of the bloodier options gleefully employed by this Sad Creature...
We don't care what you do to them, as long as there continues to be no proof?  You have no say in the matter?  *eyeroll...

The thready squeak of a tiny signal booster outside my window reminds me that nothing's changed, nor will it..*shrugs...
Another post on mybroadband by Richard Boorman, in a thinly-disguised attempt to blame vodacom's erratic service woes on anti-mast activists... More tripe of the first order.. I sit here at the desk with a cellmast to my right, and a mini-base station to my left, and yet I've watched in fascination as my full signal has been dropped down to one bar only, as I send an sms or attempt to make a call...A simple technical explanation?  Sure there is, and the answer to that particular problem lurks right next door at No. 6.. *yawns...

Would I be prepared to do without my TV, microwave, cellphone, iPod and Kindle?  Are you kidding me?  As thick as I am, around any form of technology, I take none of it for granted, and am grateful that I've lasted long enough to enjoy these magical toys... It's the farking OPERATORS that are the problem, and the deadly combination of technologies now employed to wireless the world, that has us dropping like flies..
Does a safer work-around exist, that would still allow Area Controllers to access your homes and your private conversations?  My guess would have to be no...
Peace...
