RED-FLAGGED...
(begun Tuesday 1st May at 4am..)


So much for my radar..*snorts... It turned out to be a pleasant enough CPF Meeting, without so much as the hint of a resignation from anyone, and I guess people just get gatvol tempoorarily, and then get over it..*relieved..
She'd picked me up at 6.45pm and I'd seen it just as we were going past Owen's place.. No man- WTF is it? It's been a full fortnight since our last Meeting, and it was hanging in the identical place back then, so surely it can't be a star?
We'd carried on past the Hall over to the Engen garage for a better view, and sure enough it was there above the Reservoir Hills water-works, just like before... I'd asked around the last time we'd seen it, and someone had said it was Sirius and I'd left it at that, so it was quite a shock to find it was still there two weeks later, in what appeared to be the identical spot.  *fascinated... Any amateur astronomers out there, want to take a flyer at what that is, sitting there in the northern sky?

She'd casually mentioned later, that her office PC had gone down, and that their tech's first diagnosis had been a power supply fault.  The old cook and run exercise, Balliram?  Something so easy to achieve that even a beginner could handle it?  Isolate her machine and whack it terminally with a massive spike, just up there in Westville?  Fark it dewd - No need for modesty.. It figures that you'd get round to her sooner or later, and I guess she's been red-flagged for a while now.. She's already worked out that the noisy cricket that activates by her front gate is a synthetic version of the real deal, and she pretty much did that on her own...

May I suggest that you and your goonda buddies tread softly where she's concerned, or I may be concentrating on my pictures of those two little lights activated in my cowling, and asking some awkward questions at my next Show & Tell session?
*There's what sounds like a steady drip from a pipe outside this window, and it screams of our Controller's special effects department.. Just erratic enough in volume to give the game away, I'd hazard he's going the Chinese water-torture route as a last resort.. Alternatively, one of his three nearby aircon units has sprung a leak?*
While everyone was busy socialising after the Meeting, I'd taken a chair and sat outside in the cooler air, and I'd snapped a shot of the big spotlight right outside the Committee Room door.  I'm darned if those pesky particles of dust didn't throw together dozens of fake holograms HERE...*beams...

How often have I mentioned that I can be driving back into Sherwood from Westville when inevitably, as I go past the Engen garage on my left, Millie will awaken and protest loudly as we enter the dense blanket of techno fallout that covers the Zone?
At some point during the Meeting the Eavesdroppers had cranked the audio-monitoring up to the point where I'd swung around to check the wall behind me.. Silliness...The only visible evidence of a possible laser-enhancer bounce-off point was a dollop of white emulsion on the bench next to me, and I'd hastily inked it in with my pen.. *chokes... Whether the Watchers saw this, is unknown, but the pain subsided soon after that...

When she'd finally dropped me off at my gates, a straggly band of chops, I mean chaps, were leaving the Chickencoop and heading back to their cars.. A successful training session, Balliram?  An evening spent showing off to your chommies how the wondrous Invasion of Privacy technology works?  You simply couldn't resist making me squirm in pain, right? *spews....
For the umpteenth time I would ask you, how can I be expected to see any good in this amazing technology, when it remains in the control of criminals? *yawns...

According to Justice Malala's column in yesterday's Times, Our Gangster State, Mo Shaik left the State Security Agency back in March already, which begs the question as to exactly who is continuing to supply the NIA-clearance passes to the civilians recruited to operate the Surveillance technology? You only got your official clearance yesterday?   Any idea where it came from, or did the Strategist just mutter ambiguously that he has a 'connection'?
If, as has been reported, our Spy Department is in disarray, who has the authority to issue these clearances, and just how valid are they? *interested.. You're going to tell me there's an Opposition party member high enough up the chain of command to issue ongoing NIA clearances without being noticed? *bolt-eyed... What with all the fake licences, ID's, and bank cards doing the rounds, you'll forgive me if I look at your Intelligence Agency passes sideways...
Did you check the fine print on that code of silence you signed, or was there only a verbal agreement reached, to avoid leaving a paper trail?

Before you get too puffed up with your newly acquired status, how would you feel if I were to tell you that young Jaycee down the road also holds the same clearance?  Ja, the dude thats always hanging out with his sugars-sucking, ganja-puffing mates, causing mischief and mayhem in the neighbourhood? Turns out he knows his way around a computer, and it hasn't mattered to the PTB that he's got a record, as he was deemed too useful to pass up... Hey - So he's going to use his larnie new status to practise somewhat different but deadly mischief on his unwitting neighbours, but who cares, he's another necessary cog in this giant wheel, so his inevitable tech crimes will be overlooked... *gross...

I hopped on line to check my mail after I got home last night, and ended up over on durbanite where I'd commented on both Stef Roux and Francesco Petruccione in the Sutcliffe to sue thread... I admit I was fairly startled to find that my Reply button actually worked, and I was just signing out of the site when BigEars woke up from his socialising to plonk the Kaspersky window in my face... With my reputation, I doubt he'd bother to remove the post, unlike the U-Tube clip of the London-based film maker James Russel's movie Resonance...
I had a mail copied to me that said the guy was going to try and re-post the vanished clip.. You want to check whether he was successful?

I'd not even attempted to view it myself, but had this gut feeling that it was fairly relevant, so I'd forwarded the mail to the Rocket Scientist... Is it connected in any way to Stef Roux's astonishing quantum laser communications system that's officially up and running here in eThekwini?  Cornelis Groesbeek's fibre through the water lines wasn't mentioned openly until years after it had been installed, and I guess the same applies to Roux's technology... If, as I suspect, it's been operating since 2004/5, I'd have to bet that by now it's rigged up to an overhead near you...

It might have been in one of the Sunday papers Health sections that I saw an in-depth article on Restless Leg syndrome... It's on the increase? *curious... Just as a rising number of younger members of the population are now keeling over with terminal heart attacks?  Restless legs se GAT!!! Professor Els had said that a few of his students working over at the Howard College wireless base station had complained of problems with their knees, as had Sue the Book's kid, and B.Junior.. I guess then that it's safe to say that over-exposure to EMR and wireless by younger males results in leg troubles, and that this latest press article is another attempt to further muddy the waters....Jannie? Want to check with your Damage Control Department?

I was sitting out on the verandah at dusk yesterday, when a lone bat arrived to wheel crazily above the front lawn, in search of a meal... Does it's appearance indicate that Dr. Roux's 'perfectly safe' assertion is correct after all?  That despite the air literally swarming with laser-created holograms, that little animal can survive?
So what is it that's killing us off so rapidly?  The huge amounts of EMR and wireless frequencies being flooded randomly into the population's homes and offices, in order to enhance their private conversations and send their images back via satellite to a nearby Area Controller?
As long as you can ensure that the technology rigged to your streetlight isn't activated to access YOUR power supply, you'll escape scott-free?
Do you HEAR yourself?  Knowing this, what does that make you?

LATER at 6.55am

The sun hadn't quite appeared over the horizon when I stood ten minutes ago, above the first terrace, trying to flush out more of the black oil that's been poured into the lemon tree to kill it.. A still, and cloudless morning, minutes before sunrise... You think?  A sudden deliciously cool breeze sprang up, and seemingly out of nowhere, a fairly large bank of low-flying cloud scudded into view from the south.. OK, I admit it.  I waved as it sailed by almost overhead... I checked in vain for any companions it may have had, but the sky was clear right down south as far as the eye could see...

Dotty old crone, to regard that brief moment as seriously enchanting magic?  Like I care... *shrugs.. There's stuff out there that would make Roux's laser system resemble a First grader's party trick, and you'd better believe it... Peace..
