THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME...
(begun Friday 25th May at 4am..)

*My profile continues to have vanished from my gmail account.  Am I really signed into the real blogger.com as I update my blog, or some clever cloned site manufactured by the Creep?*

What I'd give to replace your half-hearted sympathy with just a flicker of admiration.  It ain't gonna happen.. Jannie van Zyl and Michael Barnabas had to have given Collin P. Balliram the all-clear to set up this savage Game, using his own Rules, unlimited Players, and the sophisticated arsenal of weaponry designed by Stef Roux and Francesco Petruccione.. It's well out of it's trial period, and has degenerated into a slaughterhouse of countless ways to torture and kill your prey...
To be able to sit back and think it's okay for me to use a bit of the old florid imagination and hyperbole, would be a pleasure.  I can't do it..
I'm just the bloody demo model, being made to fall over and stagger back up repeatedly, for your amusement.. Dammit, I'm a distraction, don't you see?

You already got a candidate lined up to replace him on the Hill, Earl?  Despite your repeated assurances that he's your man, can he see the writing on the wall?  All roads lead to Rome my man, and here in the Zone, that would be you..*curtseys deeply...

We'd been in the area yesterday, so I'd asked the GW if I could pop into Mariannhill Licencing to check whether my licence renewal had already been rejected.. It's nowhere near the 6-8 weeks you're supposed to wait, but since the fiasco with my kid's fingerprints, it wouldn't hurt to enquire?
The room was packed and airless, and yet everyone was patient and pleasant. I've yet to meet a grumpy cashier or irritable official at that establishment, and though it turned out to be a wasted mission, I came out of there smiling... (The lady had even taken it upon herself to call Pretoria and had established that so far, my renewal was looking good..)
I'd made an error in thinking my kid had to come all the way back down here to redo her fingerprinting process, as it turned out she'd only gone as far as the Mooi River Licencing Department to renew hers, so it's not really a trainsmash after all....

Well before that, I'd stopped off at the Station (as I usually do on a Thursday), without knowing what sort of reception to expect, and I'm delighted to say that the guys in the Charge Office were their usual charming selves, and all I got during my brief visit, were smiles...
See Laz - You can bully them and lay down your warped version of the law, but when push comes to shove, many of those Officers can still think for themselves, whether you like it or not...
It's interesting to speculate how many are over the euphoria of Nayager's permanent removal, and have come to realise that nothing's changed for the better, after all....
That the stuff Nayager had on them didn't disappear on his demise, but was transferred to the new Dictator, to be used against them should it become necessary...

Geez, I love those guys... If you think all SA cops are crooked, think again.. More than any other Station in country, Sydenham staff have suffered under the pressures created by the ruddy Project....
I'd have to take a flyer and say that it would have been Nayager's IT Monkey who'd suggested the Station Commissioner transfer all the information held in his metaphorical little black book onto his computer? It would've taken Balliram a serious amount of persuasion to get him to agree to it, but in the long run, he'd trusted the Cracker, and had probably capitulated...
Data that would've been worth it's weight in gold to the Druglord....

Contacts and numbers to call for whatever the situation required, right Balliram?  Does the Sham family assassin still make himself available for the odd job here and there, or was he quietly taken out of the picture permanently, once the hue and cry had died down?
The way things stand, contract killers are a dime a dozen, and they inevitably end up dying in a convenient shootout with the cops...*winks...

You've probably forgotten how relieved I'd been to find we weren't the only labrats who were feeling the effects of the wireless technology, and that there were loads more victims out there on the Interwebz, talking openly about their reactions to the hugely increased levels of EMR and wireless frequencies around the world....
My relief has been pretty short-lived since I woke up and was forced to try and fit Stef Roux's contribution into this killing machine....
Are they out there, and I'm simply too stupid to find them?  There have to be others who've stumbled across either the laser beams or the holograms they produce?  And the blue fiery rain falling vertically down the overhead outside our Meeting Room?  Are there pictures of this phenomenon out there on the web?
Is there a whole sub-forum hidden away on mybroadband, that's devoted to just the laser/wireless project, and would I be awed by the photographic contributions?

Man, if you're a recruit, and fully invested in the technology, I seriously hope you're building your own collection of fantastic images.. Try the nearest overheads and see what you come up with, or hunt down your Community Hall that hosts regular public Meetings, and then wander around in the dark outside, shooting the nearest overheads or streetlight.. You could just strike it lucky...
Your DSTV dish on the roof, taken at dusk, should surely net you a few of the spheres, depending on your area, and I guess if you live in Fourways or Lenasia, you could get luckier than most...
Ronald?  Are those babies gathered in hordes above your home?  If you've not done so already, find the time to snap off a few shots in the dark, and see if they've arrived up your way or not.. *waves...

I've lost touch with the Mast Fighter, but if Roux's system is up there, it's a sure thing her home is surrounded by those ghostly orbs, and if not, why not?  I've got to factor in the possibility that Roux and Groesbeek are still working their way down the coast, before they head inland with the laser technology... Am I jumping the gun here?  Sending the Binnelanders off on a wild-goose chase, when so far it's just the wireless-over-the-powerlines that's being used to such devastating effect?   If that's the case, sit tight julle, for you ain't seen nothin yet....

I'd harped on endlessly of the sudden increase in the precision of the physical assaults taking place towards the end of 2012, when the ex-Sentech RF Specialist hit town with what I'd guessed to be his Pandora's box of tried and tested wireless frequencies... As it turns out, it now appears that his expertise was then combined with Stef Roux's quantum laser comms. system to create an almost clinically-precise killing machine...
You want labrats? Guinea-pigs?  Test subjects?  Michael Barnabas had already sold his own community down-river long before 2004, and wouldn't have blinked an eye at this new development.. Will you ever get to hear just how many here in the Zone have already succumbed directly to the introduction of this advanced weapon of war?  You won't, and anyways, you'd rather not know... *shrugs...

My experience over the past weekend should be a warning to you all.. It was a close call, and if it weren't for the blank text I'd managed to send his Missus, I might not be bending your ear right now... There won't be a next time, and that unforseen gap will have been closed by now...
The Crumb and the Creep will have been in several huddles since then, as they try to create some sort of Damage Control to a situation they themselves engineered... *eyeroll..
Am I aware of quite how precarious my situation is, right now?
Two equally unstable goondas, trying to figure out how to shut my fat mouth for good, without getting caught?
Boys, boys, boys... Bedaar julle... No-one's going to give a flying f**ck at the loss of a toad of so little brain...

Well, except maybe your Boss?  The ruthless Overseer of the Zone, who himself has no idea of how swiftly his Mentors can turn the tables on him, once he's outgrown his usefulness?  One who considers that he has every corner covered, and is therefore safe to continue manipulating the Community to suit his Superiors and himself...
You been studying up on the technology, Earl?  Got yourself an Internet degree in quantum laser systems yet?  Know enough about how it works, to avoid being nailed by it yourself?  I'd lay odds that's a no... You gonna rein your two crazies in, or are you enjoying this little distraction too much to put the brakes on? *curious...
It's light out, and I must go....
Peace...
