SOME are saying that a certain dispensation should learn a very important lesson from their predecessors. And that is the tenet of looking after your own.A female operative is at home nursing a very hurt ego after former allies turned their collective back on her in a time of need. Some have described it as the mother of all slights.What makes the situation so inexcusable is that when no one else wanted to take on a certain light-heavyweight titlist, she, as a definite welterweight, stepped into the ring and fought a good fight.She lost the bout, but no one expected her to win. Her sponsors just wanted any contender.Since then she has disappeared into oblivion and has had her hardships.Within the last 31 months her situation – inclusive of a home tragedy – got so dire that she sent a text pleading for help from someone who could offer it, but his terse response was: “You’re not the only person who wants help.”Now, his words have returned to haunt him at a very personal level. Of rogues and vagabondsIf a certain individual gets his way he and his bagman will sometime in the future be splitting a substantial percentage of a figure that will be in excess of $30 million. The two have taken the term “gangsterism” to a new low. But there is someone working assiduously to ensure that they are found out. The only unfortunate element is that neither will be ever housed at that St Philip domicile for their efforts. The phantomA MENTAL WEAKLING with power has now taken to jumping at his own shadow, irrespective of how or where it appears. He has descended into the realms of frivolous complaints when accusatorial fingers have not even been pointedly directed his way.But some are saying his actions are the result of both a guilty conscience and ineptness.It has got to such a ridiculous stage that he has now employed a ghostwriter, even though writing is not really the ghost’s forte. That plot recently took shape at a birthday party where the man pulling the strings was the guest of his dummy. But people are comforted by the knowledge that when one inevitably goes, the other will also disappear. Unholy threesomeTHE PROVERBIAL doo-doo will hit the fan with this one. Word is that a certain operative is threatening to tell all, but some insiders have warned that it might be in the person’s own interest to keep quiet.Cou Cou understands that the problems rest within a triangle, and wise heads are saying the boss will win any battle.It seems that while certain things were being directed toward a close relative, the boss wanted his people to get some too, and that was not happening. He put down his foot, and then all hell literally broke loose. It could get nastier before it gets better.Makeover neededLike Hobbes, he believes that the life of man is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.But at the appointed time, if he wants to make a success of a gift, he will have to embrace humankind’s existence as more than that.This is the advice that a few close well-wishers have been giving to a potentially even more powerful person.He is not a bad man, but has communication and personality issues. Scolded recently because no one could locate him via the various means of communication, he indicated that he did not routinely respond to voicemail, cell, text, fax, email or chat, because machines would not control him. He has suffered before in another location because of accusations of aloofness. A word to the wise.Biting the bulletA recent canvas of an area was done for a certain female operative and the results have not been encouraging. People reportedly indicated they like the man they have and do not want to see her again in their community. It was a serious letdown, especially when one considers that she has friends in virtually every “high place” that counts. It will be left to be seen if her boss heeds the words of the masses.
