"ghost writer" AUTHORity

Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.
I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

de ghost

De Ghost is a Person who is well known however the current identity of De Ghost is still unknown but what people do know is that the illusive person is a male, he is well versed with weapons, grew up where two or more gang territories meet, is partly or completely from another country but somewhere near England ( it is thought to be Scotland or Ireland)) and is no younger than 11 or older than 15. He is also thought to get angry very quickly and violently but despite that he can be cool headed in conflict and extremely observant. All that we know of him comes from former friends or acquaintances so the information is shakey.
Person A: De ghost is terrifying
Person B: Yeah but if you get on his good side you'll be set for life
