Less I get distracted by her poetry, I have to keep
reminding myself that she wants to be a player in this political poker game,
and so much is revealed by her play to get the virgin mayor’s Public Housing
Director fired is a perfect example.
The housing director may be a target for several reasons,
first – he tends to warehouse apartments in the Virgin Mayor’s town when the Virgin
Mayor (or his cohorts) need to win favor by dolling these out. But the housing
director also replaced an extremely corrupt housing director in Hometown where
R is vying against the progressive mayor in the upcoming election, and they
(whomever these power brokers are) need to get this relatively honest man out of
the way in order to avoid having him screw up their game plan for Hometown.
The fact that our poet has been called on to bring down the
housing director on behalf of this Cuban mob raises questions about how long
she has been operating on their behalf, and whether her use of our office to
bring down the congressman last summer was more than just a petty plot by RR,
but in fact part of a broader effort by this Cuban mafia to control us, much
the way Tim recently tried by attempting to recruit current and former writers
to work on behalf of R’s campaign.
Was our poet – to quote Anis Nin – a spy in the house of
love all along or her actions going after the Small Man’s chief of staff (using
his son) or the housing director a more recent development and part of the job
description for her current post as the virgin mayor’s personal assistant.
This is an important question as to when exactly she was recruited
to do their dirty work: before and during her employment with us, or after she
took on her new duties after leaving us?
This latest move puts her in league with some of the most nefarious
characters in the county if not the state, including Carmelo, the sexual predator,
who set up shop in the Hometown housing authority.
Our poet may well have had dealings with these characters
prior to this, but her move to get rid of the Virgin Mayor’s housing director
clearly indicates her current alliance with them and may point to her exit strategy
from the Virgin Mayor into a bigger pool of professional sharks.
In an extreme understatement, these are not nice people, and
her association with them implies she is not a nice person either – even though
the opposite might be true.
The housing director, however, brings together a strange
group of bedfellows, all of whom hate and distrust him, including Mark, the
chief of staff for Neighboring Mayor, who our poet and RR tried to bring down
when she still worked for us. Rumor has it she was involved with Mark or the
Neighboring Mayor but could not get anything from the relationship and thus
sparked outrage against them – something I’m not completely convinced of. But
to have R, Carmelo, the Neighboring Mayor, and the Virgin Mayor’s gang of thugs
all on the same page is a remarkable achievement only a relatively honest man
could inspire in a county as corrupt as this one is.
Of course, our poet is no longer the writer of record and so
had to use her influence on D, our writer, to help orchestrate this coup
against the housing director, sparking my worst fear that she is still capable
of influencing our coverage. She is the one who tipped D about a story that
would discredit the director – and if the director steps down or his fired, the
Virgin Mayor (a puppet of his cohorts) would get to name his replacement – most
likely Carmelo.
All this suggests that our poet is trickling up in the food chain
and may even be responsible for recruiting A – our former Hometown writer –
into the R camp in an effort to unseat the progressive mayor of Hometown.
Oddly enough, all this looks as if the Virgin Mayor switched
sides and has taken up arms with his former enemies, when in fact, it isn’t so
much him as his cohorts, who operate in an ethical vacuum, going wherever the
money takes them, and this could be said of our poet, too.
There is also speculation that the Virgin Mayor may have
struck a deal with the Justice Department and may in fact have worn a wire for
the feds, putting those cohorts and others (including our poet) at risk of
getting caught up in a federal sting.
If the Virgin Mayor is working for the feds and did cut a deal,
then something may break shortly. Another sign is that the Virgin Mayor
replaced his attorney with an attorney who formerly worked as a federal prosecutor
during RR’s notorious scandal.
This not only help’s RR, but also suggests there is turmoil
within the virgin mayor’s defense camp—indicating a possible change of strategy
in his legal defense, again suggesting a possible deal, and might put our poet
more firmly into the Hometown crowd, if she gets wind of any of this – and she
would if RR is as tight with the feds as he claims.
