Four prescient posts from the past, the first by the late John Pilger, the second an interview with Noam Chomsky, the third by Ellen Brown and the final one by Arundhati Roy.
Why has so much journalism succumbed to propaganda? Why are censorship and distortion standard practice? Why is the BBC so often a mouthpiece of rapacious power? Why do the New York Times and the Washington Post deceive their readers?
Why are young journalists not taught to understand media agendas and to challenge the high claims and low purpose of fake objectivity? And why are they not taught that the essence of so much of what's called the mainstream media is not information, but power?
These are urgent questions. The world is facing the prospect of major war, perhaps nuclear war - with the United States clearly determined to isolate and provoke Russia and eventually China. This truth is being turned upside down and inside out by journalists, including those who promoted the lies that led to the bloodbath in Iraq in 2003.
The times we live in are so dangerous and so distorted in public perception that propaganda is no longer, as Edward Bernays called it, an "invisible government". It is the government. It rules directly without fear of contradiction and its principal aim is the conquest of us: our sense of the world, our ability to separate truth from lies.
The information age is actually a media age. We have war by media; censorship by media; demonology by media; retribution by media; diversion by media - a surreal assembly line of obedient clichés and false assumptions.
This power to create a new "reality" has building for a long time. Forty-five years ago, a book entitled The Greening of America caused a sensation. On the cover were these words: "There is a revolution coming. It will not be like revolutions of the past. It will originate with the individual."
I was a correspondent in the United States at the time and recall the overnight elevation to guru status of the author, a young Yale academic, Charles Reich. His message was that truth-telling and political action had failed and only "culture" and introspection could change the world.
Within a few years, driven by the forces of profit, the cult of "me-ism" had all but overwhelmed our sense of acting together, our sense of social justice and internationalism. Class, gender and race were separated. The personal was the political, and the media was the message.
In the wake of the cold war, the fabrication of new "threats" completed the political disorientation of those who, 20 years earlier, would have formed a vehement opposition.
In 2003, I filmed an interview in Washington with Charles Lewis, the distinguished American investigative journalist. We discussed the invasion of Iraq a few months earlier. I asked him, "What if the freest media in the world had seriously challenged George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld and investigated their claims, instead of channeling what turned out to be crude propaganda?"
He replied that if we journalists had done our job "there is a very, very good chance we would have not gone to war in Iraq."
That's a shocking statement, and one supported by other famous journalists to whom I put the same question. Dan Rather, formerly of CBS, gave me the same answer. David Rose of the Observer and senior journalists and producers in the BBC, who wished to remain anonymous, gave me the same answer.
In other words, had journalists done their job, had they questioned and investigated the propaganda instead of amplifying it, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children might be alive today; and millions might not have fled their homes; the sectarian war between Sunni and Shia might not have ignited, and the infamous Islamic State might not now exist.
Even now, despite the millions who took to the streets in protest, most of the public in western countries have little idea of the sheer scale of the crime committed by our governments in Iraq. Even fewer are aware that, in the 12 years before the invasion, the US and British governments set in motion a holocaust by denying the civilian population of Iraq a means to live.
Those are the words of the senior British official responsible for sanctions on Iraq in the 1990s - a medieval siege that caused the deaths of half a million children under the age of five, reported Unicef. The official's name is Carne Ross. In the Foreign Office in London, he was known as "Mr. Iraq". Today, he is a truth-teller of how governments deceive and how journalists willingly spread the deception. "We would feed journalists factoids of sanitised intelligence," he told me, "or we'd freeze them out."
The main whistleblower during this terrible, silent period was Denis Halliday. Then Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and the senior UN official in Iraq, Halliday resigned rather than implement policies he described as genocidal. He estimates that sanctions killed more than a million Iraqis.
What then happened to Halliday was instructive. He was airbrushed. Or he was vilified. On the BBC's Newsnight programme, the presenter Jeremy Paxman shouted at him: "Aren't you just an apologist for Saddam Hussein?" The Guardian recently described this as one of Paxman's "memorable moments". Last week, Paxman signed a £1 million book deal.
The handmaidens of suppression have done their job well. Consider the effects. In 2013, a ComRes poll found that a majority of the British public believed the casualty toll in Iraq was less than 10,000 - a tiny fraction of the truth. A trail of blood that goes from Iraq to London has been scrubbed almost clean.
Rupert Murdoch is said to be the godfather of the media mob, and no one should doubt the augmented power of his newspapers - all 127 of them, with a combined circulation of 40 million, and his Fox network. But the influence of Murdoch's empire is no greater than its reflection of the wider media.
The most effective propaganda is found not in the Sun or on Fox News - but beneath a liberal halo. When the New York Times published claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, its fake evidence was believed, because it wasn't Fox News; it was the New York Times.
The same is true of the Washington Post and the Guardian, both of which have played a critical role in conditioning their readers to accept a new and dangerous cold war. All three liberal newspapers have misrepresented events in Ukraine as a malign act by Russia - when, in fact, the fascist led coup in Ukraine was the work of the United States, aided by Germany and Nato.
This inversion of reality is so pervasive that Washington's military encirclement and intimidation of Russia is not contentious. It's not even news, but suppressed behind a smear and scare campaign of the kind I grew up with during the first cold war.
Once again, the evil empire is coming to get us, led by another Stalin or, perversely, a new Hitler. Name your demon and let rip.
The suppression of the truth about Ukraine is one of the most complete news blackouts I can remember. The biggest Western military build-up in the Caucasus and eastern Europe since world war two is blacked out. Washington's secret aid to Kiev and its neo-Nazi brigades responsible for war crimes against the population of eastern Ukraine is blacked out. Evidence that contradicts propaganda that Russia was responsible for the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner is blacked out.
And again, supposedly liberal media are the censors. Citing no facts, no evidence, one journalist identified a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine as the man who shot down the airliner. This man, he wrote, was known as The Demon. He was a scary man who frightened the journalist. That was the evidence.
Many in the western media haves worked hard to present the ethnic Russian population of Ukraine as outsiders in their own country, almost never as Ukrainians seeking a federation within Ukraine and as Ukrainian citizens resisting a foreign-orchestrated coup against their elected government.
What the Russian president has to say is of no consequence; he is a pantomime villain who can be abused with impunity. An American general who heads Nato and is straight out of Dr. Strangelove - one General Breedlove - routinely claims Russian invasions without a shred of visual evidence. His impersonation of Stanley Kubrick's General Jack D. Ripper is pitch perfect.
Forty thousand Ruskies were massing on the border, according to Breedlove. That was good enough for the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Observer - the latter having previously distinguished itself with lies and fabrications that backed Blair's invasion of Iraq, as its former reporter, David Rose, revealed.
There is almost the joi d'esprit of a class reunion. The drum-beaters of the Washington Post are the very same editorial writers who declared the existence of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction to be "hard facts".
"If you wonder," wrote Robert Parry, "how the world could stumble into world war three - much as it did into world war one a century ago - all you need to do is look at the madness that has enveloped virtually the entire US political/media structure over Ukraine where a false narrative of white hats versus black hats took hold early and has proved impervious to facts or reason."
Parry, the journalist who revealed Iran-Contra, is one of the few who investigate the central role of the media in this "game of chicken", as the Russian foreign minister called it. But is it a game? As I write this, the US Congress votes on Resolution 758 which, in a nutshell, says: "Let's get ready for war with Russia." In the 19th century, the writer Alexander Herzen described secular liberalism as "the final religion, though its church is not of the other world but of this". Today, this divine right is far more violent and dangerous than anything the Muslim world throws up, though perhaps its greatest triumph is the illusion of free and open information.
In the news, whole countries are made to disappear. Saudi Arabia, the source of extremism and western-backed terror, is not a story, except when it drives down the price of oil. Yemen has endured twelve years of American drone attacks. Who knows? Who cares?
In 2009, the University of the West of England published the results of a ten-year study of the BBC's coverage of Venezuela. Of 304 broadcast reports, only three mentioned any of the positive policies introduced by the government of Hugo Chavez. The greatest literacy programme in human history received barely a passing reference.
In Europe and the United States, millions of readers and viewers know next to nothing about the remarkable, life-giving changes implemented in Latin America, many of them inspired by Chavez. Like the BBC, the reports of the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian and the rest of the respectable western media were notoriously in bad faith. Chavez was mocked even on his deathbed. How is this explained, I wonder, in schools of journalism?
Why are millions of people in Britain are persuaded that a collective punishment called "austerity" is necessary?
Following the economic crash in 2008, a rotten system was exposed. For a split second the banks were lined up as crooks with obligations to the public they had betrayed.
But within a few months - apart from a few stones lobbed over excessive corporate "bonuses" - the message changed. The mugshots of guilty bankers vanished from the tabloids and something called "austerity" became the burden of millions of ordinary people. Was there ever a sleight of hand as brazen?
Today, many of the premises of civilised life in Britain are being dismantled in order to pay back a fraudulent debt - the debt of crooks. The "austerity" cuts are said to be £83 billion. That's almost exactly the amount of tax avoided by the same banks and by corporations like Amazon and Murdoch's News UK. Moreover, the crooked banks are given an annual subsidy of £100bn in free insurance and guarantees - a figure that would fund the entire National Health Service.
The economic crisis is pure propaganda. Extreme policies now rule Britain, the United States, much of Europe, Canada and Australia. Who is standing up for the majority? Who is telling their story? Who's keeping record straight? Isn't that what journalists are meant to do?
In 1977, Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, revealed that more than 400 journalists and news executives worked for the CIA. They included journalists from the New York Times, Time and the TV networks. In 1991, Richard Norton Taylor of the Guardian revealed something similar in this country.
None of this is necessary today. I doubt that anyone paid the Washington Post and many other media outlets to accuse Edward Snowden of aiding terrorism. I doubt that anyone pays those who routinely smear Julian Assange - though other rewards can be plentiful.
It's clear to me that the main reason Assange has attracted such venom, spite and jealously is that WikiLeaks tore down the facade of a corrupt political elite held aloft by journalists. In heralding an extraordinary era of disclosure, Assange made enemies by illuminating and shaming the media's gatekeepers, not least on the newspaper that published and appropriated his great scoop. He became not only a target, but a golden goose.
Lucrative book and Hollywood movie deals were struck and media careers launched or kick-started on the back of WikiLeaks and its founder. People have made big money, while WikiLeaks has struggled to survive.
None of this was mentioned in Stockholm on 1 December when the editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, shared with Edward Snowden the Right Livelihood Award, known as the alternative Nobel Peace Prize. What was shocking about this event was that Assange and WikiLeaks were airbrushed. They didn't exist. They were unpeople. No one spoke up for the man who pioneered digital whistleblowing and handed the Guardian one of the greatest scoops in history. Moreover, it was Assange and his WikiLeaks team who effectively - and brilliantly - rescued Edward Snowden in Hong Kong and sped him to safety. Not a word.
What made this censorship by omission so ironic and poignant and disgraceful was that the ceremony was held in the Swedish parliament - whose craven silence on the Assange case has colluded with a grotesque miscarriage of justice in Stockholm.
"When the truth is replaced by silence," said the Soviet dissident Yevtushenko, "the silence is a lie."
It's this kind of silence we journalists need to break. We need to look in the mirror. We need to call to account an unaccountable media that services power and a psychosis that threatens world war.
In the 18th century, Edmund Burke described the role of the press as a Fourth Estate checking the powerful. Was that ever true? It certainly doesn't wash any more. What we need is a Fifth Estate: a journalism that monitors, deconstructs and counters propaganda and teaches the young to be agents of people, not power. We need what the Russians called perestroika - an insurrection of subjugated knowledge. I would call it real journalism.
It's 100 years since the First World War. Reporters then were rewarded and knighted for their silence and collusion. At the height of the slaughter, British prime minister David Lloyd George confided in C.P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian: "If people really knew [the truth] the war would be stopped tomorrow, but of course they don't know and can't know."
MODERN SUCCESS: You are, among many other things, a self-described anarchist — an anarcho-syndicalist, specifically. Most people think of anarchists as disenfranchised punks throwing rocks at store windows, or masked men tossing ball-shaped bombs at fat industrialists. Is this an accurate view? What is anarchy to you?
NOAM CHOMSKY: Well, anarchism is, in my view, basically a kind of tendency in human thought which shows up in different forms in different circumstances, and has some leading characteristics. Primarily it is a tendency that is suspicious and skeptical of domination, authority, and hierarchy. It seeks structures of hierarchy and domination in human life over the whole range, extending from, say, patriarchal families to, say, imperial systems, and it asks whether those systems are justified. It assumes that the burden of proof for anyone in a position of power and authority lies on them. Their authority is not self-justifying. They have to give a reason for it, a justification. And if they can’t justify that authority and power and control, which is the usual case, then the authority ought to be dismantled and replaced by something more free and just. And, as I understand it, anarchy is just that tendency. It takes different forms at different times.
Anarcho-syndicalism is a particular variety of anarchism which was concerned primarily, though not solely, but primarily with control over work, over the work place, over production. It took for granted that working people ought to control their own work, its conditions, [that] they ought to control the enterprises in which they work, along with communities, so they should be associated with one another in free associations, and … democracy of that kind should be the foundational elements of a more general free society. And then, you know, ideas are worked out about how exactly that should manifest itself, but I think that is the core of anarcho-syndicalist thinking. I mean it’s not at all the general image that you described — people running around the streets, you know, breaking store windows — but [anarcho-syndicalism] is a conception of a very organized society, but organized from below by direct participation at every level, with as little control and domination as is feasible, maybe none.
MS: With the apparent ongoing demise of the capitalist state, many people are looking at other ways to be successful, to run their lives, and I’m wondering what you would say anarchy and syndicalism have to offer, things that others ideas — say, for example, state-run socialism — have failed to offer? Why should we choose anarchy, as opposed to, say, libertarianism?
NC: Well what’s called libertarian in the United States, which is a special U. S. phenomenon, it doesn’t really exist anywhere else — a little bit in England — permits a very high level of authority and domination but in the hands of private power: so private power should be unleashed to do whatever it likes. The assumption is that by some kind of magic, concentrated private power will lead to a more free and just society. Actually that has been believed in the past. Adam Smith for example, one of his main arguments for markets was the claim that under conditions of perfect liberty, markets would lead to perfect equality. Well, we don’t have to talk about that! That kind of —
MS: It seems to be a continuing contention today …
NC: Yes, and so well that kind of libertarianism, in my view, in the current world, is just a call for some of the worst kinds of tyranny, namely unaccountable private tyranny. Anarchism is quite different from that. It calls for an elimination to tyranny, all kinds of tyranny. Including the kind of tyranny that’s internal to private power concentrations. So why should we prefer it? Well I think because freedom is better than subordination. It’s better to be free than to be a slave. Its’ better to be able to make your own decisions than to have someone else make decisions and force you to observe them. I mean, I don’t think you really need an argument for that. It seems like … transparent.
The thing you need an argument for, and should give an argument for, is, How can we best proceed in that direction? And there are lots of ways within the current society. One way, incidentally, is through use of the state, to the extent that it is democratically controlled. I mean in the long run, anarchists would like to see the state eliminated. But it exists, alongside of private power, and the state is, at least to a certain extent, under public influence and control — could be much more so. And it provides devices to constrain the much more dangerous forces of private power. Rules for safety and health in the workplace for example. Or insuring that people have decent health care, let’s say. Many other things like that. They’re not going to come about through private power. Quite the contrary. But they can come about through the use of the state system under limited democratic control … to carry forward reformist measures. I think those are fine things to do. they should be looking forward to something much more, much beyond, — namely actual, much larger-scale democratization. And that’s possible to not only think about, but to work on. So one of the leading anarchist thinkers, Bakunin in the 19th cent, pointed out that it’s quite possible to build the institutions of a future society within the present one. And he was thinking about far more autocratic societies than ours. And that’s being done. So for example, worker- and community- controlled enterprises are germs of a future society within the present one. And those not only can be developed, but are being developed. There’s some important work on this by Gar Alperovitz who’s involved in the enterprise systems around the Cleveland area which are worker and community controlled. There’s a lot of theoretical discussion of how it might work out, from various sources. Some of the most worked out ideas are in what’s called the “parecon” — participatory economics — literature and discussions. And there are others. These are at the planning and thinking level. And at the practical implementation level, there are steps that can be taken, while also pressing to overcome the worst … the major harms … caused by … concentration of private power through the use of state system, as long as the current system exists. So there’s no shortage of means to pursue.
As for state socialism, depends what one means by the term. If it’s tyranny of the Bolshevik variety (and its descendants), we need not tarry on it. If it’s a more expanded social democratic state, then the comments above apply. If something else, then what? Will it place decision-making in the hands of working people and communities, or in hands of some authority? If the latter, then — once again — freedom is better than subjugation, and the latter carries a very heavy burden of justification.
MS: Many people know you because of your and Edward Herman’s development of the Propaganda Model. Could you briefly describe that model and why it might be important to the students at the UW-Madison?
NC: Well first look back a bit — a little historical framework — back in the late 19th-, early 20th century, a good deal of freedom had been won in some societies. At the peak of this were in fact the United States and Britain. By no means free societies, but by comparative standards quite advanced in this respect. In fact so advanced, that power systems — state and private — began to recognize that things were getting to a point where they can’t control the population by force as easily as before, so they are going to have to turn to other means of control. And the other means of control are control of beliefs and attitudes. And out of that grew the public relations industry, which in those days described itself honestly as an industry of propaganda.
The guru of the PR industry, Edward Bernays — incidentally, not a reactionary, but a Wilson-Roosevelt-Kennedy liberal — the maiden handbook of the PR industry which he wrote back in the 1920s was called Propaganda. And in it he described, correctly, the goal of the industry. He said our goal is to insure that the “intelligent minority” — and of course anyone who writes about these things is part of that intelligent minority by definition, by stipulation, so we, the intelligent minority, are the only people capable of running things, and there’s that great population out there, the “unwashed masses,” who, if they’re left alone will just get into trouble: so we have to, as he put it, “engineer their consent,” figure out ways to insure they consent to our rule and domination. And that’s the goal of the PR industry. And it works in many ways. It’s primary commitment is commercial advertising. In fact, Bernays made his name right at that time — late 20s — by running an advertising campaign to convince women to smoke cigarettes: women weren’t smoking cigarettes, this big group of people who the tobacco industry isn’t able to kill, so we’ve got to do something about that. And he very successfully ran campaigns that induced women to smoke cigarettes: that would be, in modern terms, the cool thing to do, you know, that’s the way you get to be a modern, liberated woman. It was very successful —
MS: Is there a correlation between that campaign and what’s happening with the big oil industry right now and climate change?
NC: These are just a few examples. These are the origins of what became a huge industry of controlling attitudes and opinions. Now the oil industry today, and in fact the business world generally, are engaged in comparable campaigns to try to undermine efforts to deal with a problem that’s even greater than the mass murder that was caused by the tobacco industry; and it was mass murder. We are facing a threat, a serious threat, of catastrophic climate change. And it’s no joke. And [the oil industry is] trying to impede measures to deal with it for their own short-term profit interests. And that includes not only the petroleum industry, but the American Chamber of Commerce — the leading business lobby — and others, who’ve stated quite openly that they’re conducting … they don’t call it propaganda … but what would amount to propaganda campaigns to convince people that there’s no real danger and we shouldn’t really do much about it, and that we should concentrate on really important things like the deficit and economic growth — what they call ‘growth’ — and not worry about the fact that the human species is marching over a cliff which could be something like [human] species destruction; or at least the destruction of the possibility of a decent life for huge numbers of people. And there are many other correlations.
In fact quite generally, commercial advertising is fundamentally an effort to undermine markets. We should recognize that. If you’ve taken an economics course, you know that markets are supposed to be based on informed consumers making rational choices. You take a look at the first ad you see on television and ask yourself … is that it’s purpose? No it’s not. It’s to create uninformed consumers making irrational choices. And these same institutions run political campaigns. It’s pretty much the same: you have to undermine democracy by trying to get uninformed people to make irrational choices. And so this is only one aspect of the PR industry. What Herman and I were discussing was another aspect of the whole propaganda system that developed roughly at that period, and that’s “manufacture of consent,” as it was called, [consent] to the decisions of our political leaders, or the leaders of the private economy, to try to insure that people have the right beliefs and don’t try to comprehend the way decisions are being made that may not only harm them, but harm many others. That’s propaganda in the normal sense. And so we were talking about mass media, and the intellectual community of the world in general, which is to a large extent dedicated to this. Not that people see themselves as propagandists, but … that they are themselves deeply indoctrinated into the principles of the system, which prevent them from perceiving many things that are really right on the surface, [things] that would be subversive to power if understood. We give plenty of examples there and there’s plenty more you can mention up to the present moment, crucial ones in fact. That’s a large part of a general system of indoctrination and control that runs parallel to controlling attitudes and … consumeristic commitments, and other devices to control people.
You mentioned students before. Well one of the main problems for students today — a huge problem — is sky-rocketing tuitions. Why do we have tuitions that are completely out-of-line with other countries, even with our own history? In the 1950s the United States was a much poorer country than it is today, and yet higher education was … pretty much free, or low fees or no fees for huge numbers of people. There hasn’t been an economic change that’s made it necessary, now, to have very high tuitions, far more than when we were a poor country. And to drive the point home even more clearly, if we look just across the borders, Mexico is a poor country yet has a good educational system with free tuition. There was an effort by the Mexican state to raise tuition, maybe some 15 years ago or so, and there was a national student strike which had a lot of popular support, and the government backed down. Now that’s just happened recently in Quebec, on our other border. Go across the ocean: Germany is a rich country. Free tuition. Finland has the highest-ranked education system in the world. Free … virtually free. So I don’t think you can give an argument that there are economic necessities behind the incredibly high increase in tuition. I think these are social and economic decisions made by the people who set policy. And [these hikes] are part of, in my view, part of a backlash that developed in the 1970s against the liberatory tendencies of the 1960s. Students became much freer, more open, they were pressing for opposition to the war, for civil rights, women’s rights … and the country just got too free. In fact, liberal intellectuals condemned this, called it a “crisis of democracy:” we’ve got to have more moderation of democracy. They called, literally, for more commitment to indoctrination of the young, their phrase … we have to make sure that the institutions responsible for the indoctrination of the young do their work, so we don’t have all this freedom and independence. And many developments took place after that. I don’t think we have enough direct documentation to prove causal relations, but you can see what happened. One of the things that happened was controlling students — in fact, controlling students for the rest of their lives, by simply trapping them in debt. That’s a very effective technique of control and indoctrination. And I suspect — I can’t prove — but I suspect that that’s a large part of the reason behind [high tuitions]. Many other parallel things happened. The whole economy changed in significant ways to concentrate power, to undermine workers’ rights and freedom. In fact the economist who chaired the Federal Reserve around the Clinton years, Alan Greenspan — St. Alan as he was called then, the great genius of the economics profession who was running the economy, highly honored — he testified proudly before congress that the basis for the great economy that he was running was what he called “growing worker insecurity.” If workers are more insecure, they won’t do things, like asking for better wages and better benefits. And that’s healthy for the economy from a certain point of view, a point of view that says workers ought to be oppressed and controlled, and that wealth ought to be concentrated in a very few pockets. So yeah, that’s a healthy economy, and we need growing worker insecurity, and we need growing student insecurity, for similar reasons. I think all of these things line up together as part of a general reaction — a bipartisan reaction, incidentally — against liberatory tendencies which manifested themselves in the 60s and have continued since.
MS: With the few remaining minutes we have left, I’m wondering if you could leave the students with one thing you’d like to say to them about how they can be successful in the future.
NC: There are plenty of problems in the world today, and students face a number of them, including the ones I mentioned — the joblessness, insecurity and so on. Yet on the other hand, there has been progress. In a lot of respects things are a lot more free and advanced than they were … not many years ago. So many things that were really matters of struggle, in fact even some barely even mentionable, say, in the 1960s, are now … partially resolved. Things like women’s rights. Gay rights. Opposition to aggression. Concern for the environment — which is nowhere near where it ought to be, but far beyond the 1960s. These victories for freedom didn’t come from gifts from above. They came from people struggling under conditions that are harsher than they are now. There is state repression now. But it doesn’t begin to compare with, say, Cointelpro in the 1960s. People that don’t know about that ought to read and think to find out. And that leaves lots of opportunities. Students, you know, are relatively privileged as compared with the rest of the population. They are also in a period of their lives where they are relatively free. Well that provides for all sorts of opportunities. In the past, such opportunities have been taken by students who have often been in the forefront of progressive change, and they have many more opportunities now. It’s never going to be easy. There’s going to be repression. There’s going to be backlash. But that’s the way society moves forward.
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. . . . You have owners — George Carlin, The American Dream
According to a new study from Princeton University, American democracy no longer exists. Using data from over 1,800 policy initiatives from 1981 to 2002, researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page concluded that rich, well-connected individuals on the political scene now steer the direction of the country, regardless of – or even against – the will of the majority of voters. America’s political system has transformed from a democracy into an oligarchy, where power is wielded by wealthy elites.
“Making the world safe for democracy” was President Woodrow Wilson’s rationale for World War I, and it has been used to justify American military intervention ever since. Can we justify sending troops into other countries to spread a political system we cannot maintain at home?
The Magna Carta, considered the first Bill of Rights in the Western world, established the rights of nobles as against the king. But the doctrine that “all men are created equal” – that all people have “certain inalienable rights,” including “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” – is an American original. And those rights, supposedly insured by the Bill of Rights, have the right to vote at their core. We have the right to vote but the voters’ collective will no longer prevails.
In Greece, the left-wing populist Syriza Party came out of nowhere to take the presidential election by storm; and in Spain, the populist Podemos Party appears poised to do the same. But for over a century, no third-party candidate has had any chance of winning a US presidential election. We have a two-party winner-take-all system, in which our choice is between two candidates, both of whom necessarily cater to big money. It takes big money just to put on the mass media campaigns required to win an election involving 240 million people of voting age.
In state and local elections, third party candidates have sometimes won. In a modest-sized city, candidates can actually influence the vote by going door to door, passing out flyers and bumper stickers, giving local presentations, and getting on local radio and TV. But in a national election, those efforts are easily trumped by the mass media. And local governments too are beholden to big money.
When governments of any size need to borrow money, the megabanks in a position to supply it can generally dictate the terms. Even in Greece, where the populist Syriza Party managed to prevail in January, the anti-austerity platform of the new government is being throttled by the moneylenders who have the government in a chokehold.
How did we lose our democracy? Were the Founding Fathers remiss in leaving something out of the Constitution? Or have we simply gotten too big to be governed by majority vote?
Democracy’s Rise and Fall
The stages of the capture of democracy by big money are traced in a paper called “The Collapse of Democratic Nation States” by theologian and environmentalist Dr. John Cobb. Going back several centuries, he points to the rise of private banking, which usurped the power to create money from governments:
The influence of money was greatly enhanced by the emergence of private banking. The banks are able to create money and so to lend amounts far in excess of their actual wealth. This control of money-creation . . . has given banks overwhelming control over human affairs. In the United States, Wall Street makes most of the truly important decisions that are directly attributed to Washington.
Today the vast majority of the money supply in Western countries is created by private bankers. That tradition goes back to the 17th century, when the privately-owned Bank of England, the mother of all central banks, negotiated the right to print England’s money after Parliament stripped that power from the Crown. When King William needed money to fight a war, he had to borrow. The government as borrower then became servant of the lender.
In America, however, the colonists defied the Bank of England and issued their own paper scrip; and they thrived. When King George forbade that practice, the colonists rebelled.
They won the Revolution but lost the power to create their own money supply, when they opted for gold rather than paper money as their official means of exchange. Gold was in limited supply and was controlled by the bankers, who surreptitiously expanded the money supply by issuing multiple banknotes against a limited supply of gold.
This was the system euphemistically called “fractional reserve” banking, meaning only a fraction of the gold necessary to back the banks’ privately-issued notes was actually held in their vaults. These notes were lent at interest, putting citizens and the government in debt to bankers who created the notes with a printing press. It was something the government could have done itself debt-free, and the American colonies had done with great success until England went to war to stop them.
President Abraham Lincoln revived the colonists’ paper money system when he issued the Treasury notes called “Greenbacks” that helped the Union win the Civil War. But Lincoln was assassinated, and the Greenback issues were discontinued.
In every presidential election between 1872 and 1896, there was a third national party running on a platform of financial reform. Typically organized under the auspices of labor or farmer organizations, these were parties of the people rather than the banks. They included the Populist Party, the Greenback and Greenback Labor Parties, the Labor Reform Party, the Antimonopolist Party, and the Union Labor Party. They advocated expanding the national currency to meet the needs of trade, reform of the banking system, and democratic control of the financial system.
The Populist movement of the 1890s represented the last serious challenge to the bankers’ monopoly over the right to create the nation’s money. According to monetary historian Murray Rothbard, politics after the turn of the century became a struggle between two competing banking giants, the Morgans and the Rockefellers. The parties sometimes changed hands, but the puppeteers pulling the strings were always one of these two big-money players.
In All the Presidents’ Bankers, Nomi Prins names six banking giants and associated banking families that have dominated politics for over a century. No popular third party candidates have a real chance of prevailing, because they have to compete with two entrenched parties funded by these massively powerful Wall Street banks.
Democracy Succumbs to Globalization
In an earlier era, notes Dr. Cobb, wealthy landowners were able to control democracies by restricting government participation to the propertied class. When those restrictions were removed, big money controlled elections by other means:
First, running for office became expensive, so that those who seek office require wealthy sponsors to whom they are then beholden. Second, the great majority of voters have little independent knowledge of those for whom they vote or of the issues to be dealt with. Their judgments are, accordingly, dependent on what they learn from the mass media. These media, in turn, are controlled by moneyed interests.
Control of the media and financial leverage over elected officials then enabled those other curbs on democracy we know today, including high barriers to ballot placement for third parties and their elimination from presidential debates, vote suppression, registration restrictions, identification laws, voter roll purges, gerrymandering, computer voting, and secrecy in government.
The final blow to democracy, says Dr. Cobb, was “globalization” – an expanding global market that overrides national interests:
[T]oday’s global economy is fully transnational. The money power is not much interested in boundaries between states and generally works to reduce their influence on markets and investments. . . . Thus transnational corporations inherently work to undermine nation states, whether they are democratic or not.
The most glaring example today is the secret twelve-country trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership. If it goes through, the TPP will dramatically expand the power of multinational corporations to use closed-door tribunals to challenge and supersede domestic laws, including environmental, labor, health and other protections.
Looking at Alternatives
Some critics ask whether our system of making decisions by a mass popular vote easily manipulated by the paid-for media is the most effective way of governing on behalf of the people. In an interesting Ted Talk, political scientist Eric Li makes a compelling case for the system of “meritocracy” that has been quite successful in China.
In America Beyond Capitalism, Prof. Gar Alperovitz argues that the US is simply too big to operate as a democracy at the national level. Excluding Canada and Australia, which have large empty landmasses, the United States is larger geographically than all the other advanced industrial countries of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) combined. He proposes what he calls “The Pluralist Commonwealth”: a system anchored in the reconstruction of communities and the democratization of wealth. It involves plural forms of cooperative and common ownership beginning with decentralization and moving to higher levels of regional and national coordination when necessary. He is co-chair along with James Gustav Speth of an initiative called The Next System Project, which seeks to help open a far-ranging discussion of how to move beyond the failing traditional political-economic systems of both left and Right.
Dr. Alperovitz quotes Prof. Donald Livingston, who asked in 2002:
What value is there in continuing to prop up a union of this monstrous size? . . . [T]here are ample resources in the American federal tradition to justify states’ and local communities’ recalling, out of their own sovereignty, powers they have allowed the central government to usurp.
Taking Back Our Power
If governments are recalling their sovereign powers, they might start with the power to create money, which was usurped by private interests while the people were asleep at the wheel. State and local governments are not allowed to print their own currencies; but they can own banks, and all depository banks create money when they make loans, as the Bank of England recently acknowledged.
The federal government could take back the power to create the national money supply by issuing its own Treasury notes as Abraham Lincoln did. Alternatively, it could issue some very large denomination coins as authorized in the Constitution; or it could nationalize the central bank and use quantitative easing to fund infrastructure, education, job creation, and social services, responding to the needs of the people rather than the banks.
The freedom to vote carries little weight without economic freedom – the freedom to work and to have food, shelter, education, medical care and a decent retirement. President Franklin Roosevelt maintained that we need an Economic Bill of Rights. If our elected representatives were not beholden to the moneylenders, they might be able both to pass such a bill and to come up with the money to fund it.
What follows in this essay might appear to some to be a somewhat harsh critique. On the other hand, in the tradition of honoring one’s adversaries, it could be read as an acknowledgment of the vision, flexibility, sophistication, and unwavering determination of those who have dedicated their lives to keeping the world safe for capitalism.
Their enthralling history, which has faded from contemporary memory, began in the United States in the early twentieth century when, kitted out legally in the form of endowed foundations, corporate philanthropy began to replace missionary activity as Capitalism’s (and Imperialism’s) road-opening and systems maintenance patrol.
Among the first foundations to be set up in the United States were the Carnegie Corporation, endowed in 1911 by profits from Carnegie Steel Company, and the Rockefeller Foundation, endowed in 1914 by J. D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil Company. The Tatas and Ambanis of their time.
Some of the institutions financed, given seed money, or supported by the Rockefeller Foundation are the United Nations, the CIA, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), New York’s most fabulous Museum of Modern Art, and, of course, the Rockefeller Center in New York (where Diego Riviera’s mural had to be blasted off the wall because it mischievously depicted reprobate capitalists and a valiant Lenin; Free Speech had taken the day off ).
Rockefeller was America’s first billionaire and the world’s richest man. He was an abolitionist, a supporter of Abraham Lincoln, and a teetotaler. He believed his money was given to him by God, which must have been nice for him.
When corporate-endowed foundations first made their appearance in the United States, there was a fierce debate about their provenance, legality, and lack of accountability. People suggested that if companies had so much surplus money, they should raise the wages of their workers. (People made these outrageous suggestions in those days, even in America.) The idea of these foundations, so ordinary now, was in fact a leap of the business imagination. Non-tax-paying legal entities with massive resources and an almost unlimited brief—wholly unaccountable, wholly nontransparent— what better way to parlay economic wealth into political, social, and cultural capital, to turn money into power? What better way for usurers to use a minuscule percentage of their profits to run the world? How else would Bill Gates, who admittedly knows a thing or two about computers, find himself designing education, health, and agriculture policies, not just for the US government but for governments all over the world?
Over the years, as people witnessed some of the genuinely good work the foundations did (running public libraries, eradicating diseases)—the direct connection between corporations and the foundations they endowed began to blur. Eventually, it faded altogether. Now even those who consider themselves left wing are not shy to accept their largesse.
By the 1920s US capitalism had begun to look outward for raw materials and overseas markets. Foundations began to formulate the idea of global corporate governance. In 1924 the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations jointly created what is today the most powerful foreign policy pressure group in the world—the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which later came to be funded by the Ford Foundation as well. By 1947 the newly created CIA was supported by and working closely with the CFR. Over the years the CFR’s membership has included twenty-two US secretaries of state. There were five CFR members in the 1943 steering committee that planned the United Nations, and an $8.5 million grant from J. D. Rockefeller bought the land on which the United Nations’ New York headquarters stands.
All eleven of the World Bank’s presidents since 1946—men who have presented themselves as missionaries to the poor—have been members of the CFR. (The exception was George Woods. And he was a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation and vice president of Chase Manhattan Bank.)
At Bretton Woods, the World Bank and IMF decided that the US dollar should be the reserve currency of the world, and that in order to enhance the penetration of global capital it would be necessary to universalize and standardize business practices in an open marketplace. It is toward that end that they spend a large amount of money promoting Good Governance (as long as they control the strings), the concept of the Rule of Law (provided they have a say in making the laws), and hundreds of anticorruption programs (to streamline the system they have put in place). Two of the most opaque, unaccountable organizations in the world go about demanding transparency and accountability from the governments of poorer countries.
Given that the World Bank has more or less directed the economic policies of the Third World, coercing and cracking open the market of country after country for global finance, you could say that corporate philanthropy has turned out to be the most visionary business of all time.
Corporate-endowed foundations administer, trade, and channel their power and place their chessmen on the chessboard through a system of elite clubs and think tanks, whose members overlap and move in and out through the revolving doors. Contrary to the various conspiracy theories in circulation, particularly among left-wing groups, there is nothing secret, satanic, or Freemason-like about this arrangement. It is not very different from the way corporations use shell companies and offshore accounts to transfer and administer their money—except that the currency is power, not money.
The transnational equivalent of the CFR is the Trilateral Commission, set up in 1973 by David Rockefeller, the former US national security adviser Zbignew Brzezinski (founder-member of the Afghan mujahidin, forefathers of the Taliban), the Chase Manhattan Bank, and some other private eminences. Its purpose was to create an enduring bond of friendship and cooperation between the elites of North America, Europe, and Japan. It has now become a pentalateral commission, because it includes members from China and India (Tarun Das of the CII; N. R. Narayana Murthy, ex-CEO of Infosys; Jamsheyd N. Godrej, managing director of Godrej; Jamshed J. Irani, director of Tata Sons; and Gautam Thapar, CEO of Avantha Group).
The Aspen Institute is an international club of local elites, businessmen, bureaucrats, and politicians, with franchises in several countries. Tarun Das is the president of the Aspen Institute, India. Gautam Thapar is chairman. Several senior officers of the McKinsey Global Institute (proposer of the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor) are members of the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, and the Aspen Institute.
The Ford Foundation (liberal foil to the more conservative Rockefeller Foundation, though the two work together constantly) was set up in 1936. Though it is often underplayed, the Ford Foundation has a very clear, well-defined ideology and works extremely closely with the US State Department. Its project of deepening democracy and “good governance” is very much part of the Bretton Woods scheme of standardizing business practice and promoting efficiency in the free market. After the Second World War, when communists replaced fascists as the US Government’s Enemy Number One, new kinds of institutions were needed to deal with the Cold War. Ford funded RAND (Research and Development Corporation), a military think tank that began with weapons research for the US defense services. In 1952, to thwart “the persistent Communist effort to penetrate and disrupt free nations,” it established the Fund for the Republic, which then morphed into the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, whose brief was to wage the Cold War intelligently, without McCarthyite excesses. It is through this lens that we need to view the work that the Ford Foundation is doing with the millions of dollars it has invested in India—its funding of artists, filmmakers, and activists, its generous endowment of university courses and scholarships.
The Ford Foundation’s declared “goals for the future of mankind” include interventions in grassroots political movements locally and internationally. In the United States it provided millions in grants and loans to support the credit union movement that was pioneered by the department store owner Edward Filene in 1919. Filene believed in creating a mass consumption society of consumer goods by giving workers affordable access to credit—a radical idea at the time. Actually, only half of a radical idea, because the other half of what Filene believed in was a more equitable distribution of national income. Capitalists seized on the first half of Filene’s suggestion and, by disbursing “affordable” loans of tens of millions of dollars to working people, turned the US working class into people who are permanently in debt, running to catch up with their lifestyles.
Many years later, this idea has trickled down to the impoverished countryside of Bangladesh when Mohammed Yunus and the Grameen Bank brought microcredit to starving peasants with disastrous consequences. The poor of the subcontinent have always lived in debt, in the merciless grip of the local village usurer—the Baniya. But microfinance has corporatized that too. Microfinance companies in India are responsible for hundreds of suicides—two hundred people in Andhra Pradesh in 2010 alone. A national daily recently published a suicide note by an eighteen-year-old girl who was forced to hand over her last 150 rupees, her school fees, to bullying employees of the microfinance company. The note read, “Work hard and earn money. Do not take loans.”
There’s a lot of money in poverty, and a few Nobel Prizes too.

Football Is Fixed: We Open Markets - Whistleblowing, Corruption Hacking, Fraud Forensics.
From Guernica to Gaza to Gillett - Just as corruption is the foundation of the Zionist Terrorist State and other fascist constructs, so it is with the Premier League - corruption destroys lives, destroys beauty, destroys integrity & destroys play
English football stands at a crossroads.
There are no traffic lights, just a chaotic jam of competing semi-systemic corruptions.
Gridlocked.
For a brief iota of time, there appeared the possibility of the Independent Regulator for English Football (IREF) policing the corruption but the legitimate three man shortlist for chairman was squashed by the jackboot of a mafia power play with the result that the regulatory body turns out to be nothing more than a toothless talking shop controlled by the Clown and associated organised crime groups.
The key loser in this charade is the validity of the sport in England as the rapidly declining integrity in football becomes nothing more than a betting platform for matchfixers and insider traders.
This mafia template should be of major concern to the British state.
Caught between post-colonial ineptitude and a disappearance of power on the world stage, the Premier League offered the state a valuable soft power construct that brought in money and promoted English football and culture across the planet.
An enlightened strategy would have acknowledged that IREF was the last chance to save integrity in English football and taken steps to, at the very least, incrementally improve the game's governance against mafia infiltration.
The Football is Fixed Network already provide "invisible integrity" services to the sport in England as we will show throughout the timeline of this Real Time Corruption Feed.
If IREF wasn't an anagram of mafia, our Network would have been willing to reside in the shadows, anonymously and non-publicly sharing problematical organised crime structures (e.g. the capturing of three PGMOL referees by criminals) with IREF and the state.
The sport would win through incrementally improving integrity, the state would benefit financially through the strategic enhancement of the validity of the game into the future and our Network could have taken solace in these marginal improvements even though the sport would remain corrupt - once betting markets control a sport, the sport is well and truly fucked.
But the mafia seeks ultimate power which, ironically, is their downfall as shown in Italy where Roberto Saviano and Nino di Matteo continue the work of murdered magistrates Rosario Livatino and Giovanni Falcone with the outcome that the mafia template has been entirely reorganised in the country. Only the Ndrangheta of the Mezzogiorno still call the shots at elevated levels. But even here the power is nuanced in the world of football e.g. the decline of Juventus since it was shown that the Turin club were, in effect, sponsored by the Ndrangheta.
The reality for the Clown and his accomplices is even more constricted as the intellectual inputs to English football are not to be found in their organised crime entities. Others who were culpable in the original destruction of integrity in English football for proprietary gain have evolved and are buying their legacies and some of these bodies are now working with or alongside the Football is Fixed Network.
The British state and military intelligence have been made fully aware of the extent to which organised crime is ruining the Premier League (in particular) and an enhanced strategic play by the state would be an elimination of the mafia menace.
Without such a move, our Network has only one option available - a continuing focus on exposing mafia manipulations in English football - matchfixing, insider trading, doping, institutional & mainstream media capture and the control of match officials' selection and performance by organised crime.
It isn't just Italy that should serve as an example - look at the deserved plight of the Maltese state and elite (sic) since the assassination of anti-corruption whistleblower Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017 or the huge decline in the validity of British horseracing once bookmakers began to determine race winners and losers - we had evidence that British horseracing was systemically fixed three decades ago.
So.
The choice remains a sustainable sport or a mafia controlled one.
The British state, the football industry and all political parties have that choice.
Over the summer, we have witnessed two major football tournaments where corruption was peripheralised - the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Women's Euros. There was no systemic conveyor belt of corruption-led refereeing controversies and, in Switzerland, there was an absence of doping and matchfixing / insider trading (aside, inevitably, from some issues in England's matches).
Compare and contrast to the shower of creeps who will continue to fix the EPL from mid-August - it is impossible to enjoy a game of football when Jarred Gillett is on VAR or acting as black whistle, for example.
Gillett introduces a volatility that the game could do without, a randomisation magically correlated with betting positions in underground and / or criminal markets in Russia, Cyprus and beyond.
We forewarned Manchester City about Gillett's potential inputs before he destroyed integrity in last season's FA Cup Final as the entire tournament was finessed to a corrupted template where Joe Hart drawing both the 'home' and 'away' teams for the Semi Finals was just one of the more public examples of chicanery.
When Cody Gakpo removed his Liverpool shirt to extol the legend "I belong to Jesus", it wouldn't have been a shock for the match referee to remove his shirt to expose "the PGMOL belongs to Liverpool".
The mafia is not performative to the British state, to the population or to the football industry.
Organised crime leeches onto the beautiful game for proprietary gain while killing its host.
The corruption results in matchfixing and malleable, variable or absence of rules and regulations
The mafia is parasitic.
IREF should have worked with FIF rather than criminals...
... IREF is already an anachronism.
But, in the holistic, we leave the last word to Financial Times and Ixart Miguel-Flores in his article: "How a Mafia crackdown drives economic growth."
"The most compelling evidence that dismantling criminal businesses can serve as a powerful form of economic stimulus comes from Italy's hard-won experience... As coercive networks unravel, productivity improves. Freed from intimidation, banks can perform their primary function properly - allocating capital efficiently to the most promising companies rather than the most menacing. Markets become fairer, and competition healthier... Organised crime is a global parasite, draining trillions from the world's economy."

PREFACE - How Organised Crime Corrupts The Premier League
(Originally published in December 2024)
Doechii:
It's a sunny day
The gang's all here
No chip on my shoulder
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha
If the Football Is Fixed Network were a band...
... we'd be Doechii.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha
You're welcome to 2025 and the Football Is Fixed New Year Party.
No dope.
No alcohol.
No fucking nibbles.
Firstly we give you selected content from the last few months of sousveillance and quote from our seminal blog.
Then we give you the best of contemporary Irish music and some old skool stuff too.
Are we content to leave it at that?
No way, Jose.
There's Protoje and The Last Poets and Doechii and Fela Kuti and Tommy Cooper and Koffee and Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso.
And then we mix it all up Lee Scratch Perry style.
On the wire.
And.
We remember Daphne Caruana Galizia who was assassinated 7 years ago for disclosing that Malta was (and is) a mafia state.
We are fucking nonchalant in our exposition of extensive evidences around the holistics of the systemic and semi-systemic corruption templates that act as a matrix for English top flight football.
And.
Our dance floor is sprung.
Just like at Blackpool Tower.
As a result of historical sins, I support Glasgow Celtic and Blackpool.
Excitingly, last week Blackpool was presented with the honour of having the lowest male life expectancy in Britain, replacing Glasgow at the top of the league.
We are top of the league, say we are top of the league...
And, to celebrate, Blackpool FC owner Simon Sadler this week pleaded not guilty to insider trading in Hong Kong because, apparently, he really really really is not guilty.
Really!
In Romania, Roma men are limited to four career choices - musician, hard labourer, hacker, criminal.
Similar templates exist too in Blackpool and Glasgow and Jamaica and Nigeria and US ghetto enclaves and other global recipients of the largesse of predatory capitalism.
Capitalism is exquisite at scarcity - and we don't forget that it took Blessed England 150 years to finally apologise for genociding one million Irish people in An Gorta Mor.
The poetic beauty of this particular heartfelt remorse from Mother England was that the apology was to have been delivered by then prime minister, the soon-to-be war criminal, Tony Blair. But he didn't turn up so an actor spoke his lines.
It was Blair's little BBC / Gerry Adams / Actor's Voice joke.
Sweet.
A future British war criminal getting someone else to apologise for a previous British war crime.
A future genocidist apologising for an old skool genocide.
Anyway.
The Preface.
As soon as you attach a betting market to a sport, the sport is fucked.
Once you attach betting markets to all sports, then all sports are fucked.
We all have a price.
And the global betting markets dwarf the muscle of the events that they leech onto.
In the large majority of Premier League matches, a grouping of individuals with a keen interest in pecuniary reward can earn far more from the betting markets than from the football match itself.
Worse still.
The Party Clown from Stirling wishes for football to become spectacle masquerading as sport.
Just like WWE.
Just like that.
There is an exponential increase in the frequency of these spectacle-as-sport events in the EPL.
So.
Football in Mother England needs regulation.
But.
Instead.
It is going to get IREF (eventually, after much feet-dragging and loophole creation and blinkered remit construction and the fine-tuning of the appointment of captured advisers).
So.
Football Is Fucked.
Consequently, Football Is Fixed Becomes Futile.
Ever-inflating self-censorship in output supported by ever widening strategic defence matrices just eats itself.
Totally fucking pointless.
I refuse to be an alternative commentator for WWE.
So.
We're off to do something else.
Profitable.
Instead of all of our earnings strengthening our strategic defences.
We will have spare money.
We will still randomly walk output across this very fine blog...
... because, we are the walking people.
An lucht siuil
Anyway.
As the Labour Party is cosying up to the gambling sector and the Premier League is sucking up to the state, IREF is fucked too.
As is everything.
It doesn't help that the Labour Party has a Treasury Minister responsible for tackling corruption called Tulip Siddiq.
Siddiq is a niece of Sheikh Hasina who is on the run from Bangladeshi justice and faces extensive human rights and corruption charges.
The Bangladesh anti-corruption commission have accused Ms Siddiq (and other family members) of embezzling billions over a nuclear plant deal.
One would hope, at least, that Tulip has the knowledge to spot the corruption of others.
Tiberius: "The interesting thing about capitalism is that it's entirely incompatible with the future, so we've just decided to get rid of the future and keep capitalism for a short while."
Really sweet.
Financial Times: "The UK (sic) should break its long-held apathy to paying whistleblowers in order to reduce economic crime." This is the view of the Royal United Services Institute, a think tank.
An unusual entity for an anarchist direct action network to be in agreement with, but we couldn't agree more!.
Hence we keep the blog spluttering along in the background lobbing schadenfreude left, right and centre.
The RUSI (for that is what the British state military wing call themselves) think that an effective whistleblower reward system could play a "pivotal role" in reducing white collar offences.
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) are also keen.
Put a squeeze on crime.
Provide external financial incentives to select a warped postmodern version of integrity as opposed to being a friend of the mafia.
As I said.
We all have a price (even whistleblowers - it's just that we play a very long game of deferred gratification).
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been paying for information since 2011 and, in relation to financial markets, has encouraged British whistleblowers to lodge their cases in the US.
As America takes over huge swathes of English football, the equivalent route will exist for white collar crime in the football markets.
The highest US payout to date is $279 million which should increase the life spans of Sandgronian and Glaswegian men somewhat.
RUSI is funded by the Serious Organised Crime & Anti-Corruption Evidence Research Programme and they have found that establishing a proper body to address whistleblowing produces better protection to handle the information.
Eliza Lockhart of RUSI: "The money is important, but the protection, the idea that you are actually actively going to be protected, is what anecdotally from the US appears to be one of the major driving factors."
Currently, the HMRC encourage whistleblowers while the Competition and Market Authority (CMA) already offer rewards up to £250,000 for information about illicit cartels.
How a whistleblower is going to cover future security expenses and short-term legal costs is the elephant that means the CMA room is empty.
Of course, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) could step into the breech except that their aura as a regulator is kind of fucked after the FCA chair, the immaculately named Ashley Alder, was discovered to have outed FCA whistleblowers internally and, despite the FCA being criticised by parliamentarians for a general "alarming" treatment of whistleblowers, Mr Alder refuses to be planted out.
Of course he does.
Must be a funny handshake thing.
God Bless England --- where the transparency of the corruption is entirely irrelevant as all of the state bodies tasked with discovering such corruption are captured by the very entities undertaking the corruption.
We are the walking people so it must be time to live in Eire.
Last week Kneecap dominated the British Film Awards which is, like, really fucking funny.
The Daily Mail, that pretend paper, apoplectically screamed: "Anti-British Irish-language movie funded by UK public money wins Best British film gong".
Kneecap are grateful both for the gongs and the "reparations" from tours, products and merchandise sold in Britain.
Kneecap's generation are the future of the six counties.
They see themselves as having more in common with working class protestant youth from the Shankill Road than they do with some middle class guy in Dublin called Benedict.
Ireland is a very changed place both in the Republic and the Occupied Territories.
And soon it will be united, a state never once achieved by the United Kingdom (sic).
We've done an interview with the SM Group from Dundalk where we show how organised crime groups have a vice-like grip over English & UEFA competitions and how the corresponding corruption oscillates between the systemic & semi-systemic & how an absence of regulation allows mafia to destroy integrity in football.
.
Football's value was created over the last 150 years and mafia is stripping the sport of integrity and monetising the corruption on a proprietary basis leaving behind a shell, a spectacle of minimal consequence.
This predatory capitalism private equity template is a mafia construct...
... pure and simple.
And it's transparent...
God Bless England
GOD BLESS ENGLAND --- THE TRANSPARENCY OF CORRUPTION PART 1
1. Player Power - The Future Of The Transfer Market
Thank you for agreeing to this interview. Lassana Diarra won his court case against FIFA player transfer rules today. What difference do you think this ruling will make?
Obviously any initial assessment of the impact of the Diarra case is preliminary and it will take our Network time to fully appreciate the new realities.
But, off the top of my head, here are some angles of relevance.
I would put forward that this is a major victory for Brighton & Hove Albion club owner Tony Bloom.
Bloom has been periodically at war with a tiny rogue of a man since 2021 when their cartelised behaviours fragmented during the Euro 2020(21) tournament.
Earlier this year it was decided that it was in the current interests of the Football Is Fixed Network that Bloom and this tiny rogue of a man re-coalesce. We prompted this re-engagement via careful nudging with an individual within Bloom's inner orbit.
Our strategic modelling showed that it was also very much in Bloom's interests for the fragmentation to end for a window.
And so it came to pass.
The corruption template in the Premier League immediately became a different construct and much mutual camaraderie was exhibited between Bloom and the tiny rogue of a man.
Mr Bloom has even been in talks to become an investor and minority shareholder in Scottish joke club Heart of Midlothian, a club very close to the tiny rogue of a man's heart.
Sweet.
But this re-coalescence is a gamed arrangement which, ultimately, is only to the benefit of one party...
... with the other party inversely correlated in the outcomes ahead.
We will discuss this later in this interview (because you kindly did a Kuenssberg and forwarded us all the questions - good man!)
Anyway.
Our initial favoured projection for the future of the transfer market is as follows.
The transfer market will collapse in its current form as no club is going to pay £100 million for Jack Grealish if Mr Grealish can wander off and join a new club whenever it pleases him. [In fact, nobody should pay £100 million for Grealish, full stop. But that is another matter.]
This will impact negatively upon football agents as their primary power resides in the manipulations of the transfer market. Agents will also lose their percentage of the inflated transfer fees. For reasons we are not willing to share fully at this time, we believe that it will be players' unions who will step into the void, this beautiful void, that will pop into existence with the decline of the football agent.
Good riddance to the corrupted leeches!
In June 2021 (just prior to the Euros), one Maheta Molango was smuggled in surprisingly announced as the new CEO of the Professional Footballers' Association.
This was interesting for three reasons.
Firstly, Mr Molango was 'on the run' from shenanigans (alleged shenanigans, that would be) during his time as chief executive of RCD Mallorca. Secondly, who the fuck was Maheta Molango. And, thirdly, Molango and Bloom have history not just related to Molango's period of playing for Brighton & Hove Albion between 2004 and 2007.
The PFA will be in an immensely strong position to move into the territory formerly occupied by football agents, cartels of agents, third party ownership scams, kickback merchants, backhander bastardos and the criminal fringe (and core).
Players will be able, in future, to trust the PFA to enable and optimise their careers as they shuffle around from one club to the other.
Player loyalty to club will exist only in the immediate with the PFA acting as intermediary and catalyst for the transfer continuum that will come to define many player's careers.
This infrastructure would effectively blow football agents out of the water. Good. It is agents who are at the epicentre of all corruptions in football - in that they are the only entities that converse with ALL other parties.
Of course, Bloom, being a genius of astronomical proportions, had the Diarra case in his sights way back.
On May 27th 2016, Diarra was ordered to pay a 10 million euro fine to Lokomotiv Moscow for breach of contract (the action that led to the Diarra versus FIFA case).
He appointed Belgian / Spanish firm Dupont-Hissel lawyers to act on his behalf.
Around this time, Bloom was in the process of becoming majority shareholder in Brussels club Royale Union St Gilloise.
Brussels hence became the locus of the determination as to whether players have total freedom of movement which the Court of Justice of the European Union has now decided players are being denied.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Bloom already dominates the global betting market infrastructures.
He was the first European to delve into the South East Asian underground betting markets in the mid-nineties.
Furthermore, his sabermetric analytical oversight seeking value in the current transfer market has achieved the most astonishing returns at Brighton over the last few seasons with players arriving for peanuts and parting for, oh, I don't know, pistachios.
Lots of pistachios.
And he will soon have significant leverage and, eventually, come to dominate the England and Wales transfer market via the PFA infrastructure too.
And the PFA can integrate with FIFPRO and all sorts of other things can happen that are currently unknown unknowns.
Tomorrow, England and Wales.
The Day After Tomorrow, the world.
Sack Infantino.
Install Bloom!!
The enhanced transfer market that will be created by Bloom will be to the benefit of players, fans and the sport itself.
Indeed, it is as near as football will ever get to some sort of legitimacy.
A transfer market run by a players' union...
... or a transfer market run by organised crime, crooks, chancers and other captains of chaotic corruption and predatory capitalism?
Your choice.
Oh! And Mr Bloom.
Mr Bloom will do very nicely out of this.
A total fucking coup!
And, as an aside, Lass Diarra is a bit of a hero...
There will, however, be two major downsides.
Players will become like highly paid active sporting consultants to an array of teams throughout their careers. Club squads will be permanently in flux meaning more transaction fees to be paid into PFA coffers.
Very sweet.
There will also be the financial incentive to potentially turn the entity from a players' union into a private operation which would morph inevitably into a private equity construct which will suck the value out of the entire universe of the hyperreality that has been established by this, in effect, entirely pointless progression..
The cycle of predatory capitalism never evolves as it evolves.
What goes around comes around in this revolving door binary irrelevance.
Keepy Uppy
Addendum:
Being a Direct Action Network, we only approach these farcical spectacles of puffed up futility from a mocking anarchist perspective.
But.
Lawyers truly care so here is a precis of Jan Zglinski's overview of the Diarra case...
FIFA has three options.
Option 1 - FIFA ignores the ruling and draws up new transfer regulations without consulting the players.
Option 2 - Collective bargaining can take place between players and employers. An EU mechanism exists for this very purpose and an EU-wide agreement could, via the Brussels effect, lead to changes across Europe (including non-EU countries) and possibly even globally.
This collective bargaining construct could additionally be extended to cover other adjacent issues affecting labour relations in football - minimum / maximum wages, contract lengths, healthcare provisions...
Collective bargaining underpins most US sports.
Option 3 - FIFA seeks player support for transfer market reform without launching a formal collective bargaining process.
Currently, FIFPRO prefer Option 2 (as we suggested in our interview) while FIFA prefer Option 1 as they are a sociopathic institution and will always avoid relinquishing power voluntarily.
Hilariously, FIFA is claiming a victory out of this heavy defeat. But there are very significant strategic reasons for FIFA to properly consider Options 2 & 3 according to Zglinski.
If FIFA's proprietary reforms don't go far enough then players will continue to challenge under EU competition law - "death by a thousand cuts".
While Option 3 reduces the risk of further legal actions by individual players, only Option 2 would provide long term security for FIFA as collective bargaining agreements are exempted from EU antitrust scrutiny.
It is the players who hold all of the cards in this brave new world - agents, executives, bookmakers, media, institutions, managers, coaches & mafia are superfluous to the reality of the sport.
If there's no players, there's no football.
Nothing to leech onto.
Nothing to corrupt.
It is the inverse of all top-down hierarchies...
... the workers are in control!!
Excellent stuff.
Right, next question...
What will they do when they have no money?
2. The Full Extent Of The Football Is Fixed Network
Who are you? What do you do? Why do you do it?
I am an anti-corruption whistleblower addressing the role of organised crime in football.
We are a Network of individuals who work together in a cellular web to monitor and expose these systemic / semi-systemic corruptions.
The Network is the most accurate market making analytical group on planet Earth and we provide our proprietary Quantum Market Analytics to a top table market maker in return for the funding of our extensive sousveillance security constructs and matrices. We consolidate this support structure by selling our Quantum Market Analytics to individual market focused entities.
We don't actively participate in the global betting markets although individual members place small positions with captured public operations to provide disinformation, or prompts to illuminate behaviours contrary to integrity in football, or to make a few quid on the side, or to place doubt in the minds of those matchfixing our sport, or occasionally to hedge or enhance actual market stances from elsewhere.
This is just poker play bluff and we utilise these programmes to address the financial and psychological realities of individuals involved in organised crime and the corrupting of football.
Every time our Quantum Market Analytics have detected corruptions pre-match in the Premier League this season, we have been correct - from Everton v Brighton on the opening weekend to Brentford v Wolves last weekend, from Leicester City v Aston Villa to Manchester United versus anyone and everyone.
I am told that our Network has around a score of members from different loci in the global game but we are split into separate cells for strategic defence purposes.
We only release a small percentage of our evidences for a wide array of strategic reasons and we maintain a torque, a tension with enemy forces via our constructs.
There are only two end scenarios - accommodation or mutually assured destruction.
And I, for one, have very little to lose in this encounter - it's like taking a 6/4 shot at Draw No Bet on the Asian Handicaps in full knowledge that the trade cannot lose.
It is a military strategy, nothing more, nothing less.
Why do we do it?
What else is there to do?
We are living in the end times of climate catastrophe-based self-annihilation and a bunch of mafia are corrupting the most beautiful sport.
We knew football was fucked when we started the blog nearly 18 years ago - indeed we considered calling the blog 'Football Is Fucked'...
... we should have done.
The aim of our output is twofold - to expose the corruption mechanisms in football and to show that it is predatory capitalism operations that see criminals and state integrating to corrupt wider society in a kleptocratic style.
As soon as you attach a market to something, it is fucked.
The money dominates the real purpose, whatever that purpose might be.
Football has gone.
It is simply the biggest gambling edifice on the planet, the biggest casino; all those multi-billion pound liquidity markets being officiated by the captured and subjective decisions of match officials on a few grand per week.
We all have a price!
I wrote a thesis 30 years ago which proved that British horseracing was corrupted and that, if there were liabilities on a horse for the core of the betting industry, then that animal was stopped.
I wasn't allowed to publish this thesis due to threats from Rodney Brack's Bullingdon Boys' gang (Brack was then chief executive of the British Horseracing Levy Board).
So, I sold the thesis to a leading bookmaker!
Anyway.
In effect.
The whole thing is futile.
Permanent David versus Goliath war with fearful psychopaths.
To what end?
The most contorted aspect of this whole nonsense is that we are in the rooms where the criminal decisions are made.
Not literally, of course.
But.
Believe me.
We are in their rooms.
Building Up And Tearing England Down
3. In The Blue Corner, A Lizard; In The Red Corner, A Dwarf
So we guess that the struggle against organised crime is one battlefield you will not soon be departing?
We place ourselves in the borderlands between the occupied territories of corruption and a more enlightened reality.
There are two potential paths ahead for the underground forces underpinning British football - some integrity with a side dish of shenanigans or an entrenched (and terminal) systemic corruption.
The Lizard has the opportunity to "save" football but, on the flip side, he could have chosen to coalesce with the Dwarf and become the man who "sold out" on football.
Let's examine the holistic of this hologram of a hyperreality.
Operations of Intrigue in general bifurcate between fragmentation and coalescence but the only inevitability is the continuing fragmentation in these battles over turf.
The Lizard jettisoned the Dwarf in 2021 for good reasons - the cheeky chappy gutter criminal could not help himself from displaying his chaotic form of psychopathic personality disorder to the detriment of associated parties.
Dominic Cummings wrote an excellent essay on his blog where he deconstructed the peculiar sociopathic construct of former prime minister Johnson. This multi-layered quantised psychopathy is incredibly short-termist and strategic foresight is conspicuous by its absence.
The Dwarf (and his fantastical array of aliases) mimic Cumming's psychological assessment of Johnson.
It is not feasible to strategically move forward as a team with such operators as they are genetically predisposed to self-destruct serially.
And external high level consultative advice brought in is unable to create any robustness to strategy due to this permanent chaos...
... rubbish in, rubbish out is the ongoing cry.
A couple of examples.
The Dwarf has been involved on an advisory level supporting Rebekah Vardy in her farcical high court case against Coleen Rooney.
The Dwarf has brought all of his troops out to fight this battle.
It hasn't gone well.
After being slaughtered by Rooney's immense strategic defence and sousveillance, Ms Vardy and her advisers just keep digging.
Robert Dunne, Rooney's barrister chimed: "It is probably the most ill-advised legal action since Oscar Wilde put pen to writ."
And, in the impotent realisation of his defeat, the Dwarf has been aggressively targeting Coleen's husband Wayne - a pitiful and pathetic response to a proprietary strategic inadequacy.
The Dwarf was also behind Lee Carsley becoming interim manager of the English national team.
He managed to get Stellar's Ashley Cole and Wasserman's Joleon Lescott appointed as key coaching advisers.
Then along came Greece and the entire military operation collapsed or, should we say, was brought a-tumbling down.
The Lizard is overwhelming the Dwarf across the chess board in a multi-pronged attack.
At times of uproar in sport, underground forces always coalesce.
In the mid-nineties the biggest British bookmakers were under pressure from the government and, in response, the Big 3 of Ladbrokes, William Hill and Coral established the Association for the Major Levy Payers to fight with an allegedly united front.
But this unity of purpose was a smokescreen for battles over turf.
Ladbrokes utilised the liaison to set the seeds for the eventual takeover of Coral.
And, as ever in fake constructs, the slaughter had to be attached to created spectacles of crime.
So, Frankie Dettori won all seven races at a race meeting at Royal Ascot in 1996 and a feelgood story was added to the real purpose of this charade.
Rails bookmaker Gary Wiltshire lost over one million pounds at this crime scene while Coral took a major hit just before their accounting year end.
Two years after the Dettori sting, Ladbrokes acquired Coral.
A theatre of spectacle!
Rogue operators just can't help themselves - if you're going to take the piss then you might as well totally take the piss.
We are witnessing a reincarnation of this strategy in the current alleged re-coalescence between the Lizard and the Dwarf.
You know what, let's have a perusal at this nest of vipers.
Lizards are paraphyletic in that some lizards are more closely related to snakes than they are to other lizards.
But some lizards are chameleons and reconstitute themselves in different patterns to suit the situation.
The Lizard and the Dwarf announced their re-engagement towards the conclusion of Premier League season 2023/24.
The Football is Fixed Network had puppeted this process.
Templates immediately altered - the global betting markets readjusted, the strategies and linkages of the PGMOL morphed into new matrices, the hidden agendas of the EPL hierarchy evolved and a project was re-energised for nonsenses at Euro 2024 (in an excellent example of a turf battle / corruption deja vu)...
Strategies were made and promises sworn but very much on the Lizard's terms - the Dwarf had to beg to be allowed back into the Lizard's lair.
But beneath this new allegedly systemic structure was a grabbing of turf hidden within the velvet glove of perceived cooperation.
All of the Lizard's ensuing gains have been immediate and robust while all of the Dwarf's enhancements have been pseudo or delayed, and consequently illusory.
The Lizard incorporates bluff, double bluff, treble bluff, quadruple bluff, nth level bluff (where n is a very large number).
Lizards are slippery lacertae.
The Dwarf has experienced a continuum of spectacular and structural realities, playing with his psychology, destabilising his platforms and looting his booty.
It is a squeezing of margins and space.
It is a death by natural causes or, rather, a self-harming carcinogenic parade marching to the peripheries.
The Dwarf will soon be "out of the saga" in the Islendingasogur sense of the phrase.
It isn't only the global transfer market that the Dwarf has lost control of!
The Lizard is evolving into the Komodo Dragon.
This Lizard doesn't need the Dwarf and, indeed, the presence of the Dwarf will markedly undermine the potential for the Lizard's full strategy to be optimised as it is impossible to build a sustainable strategy when attached to a chaotic short-termism.
.
The Lizard is getting the Monkey off his back.
The Lizard is collapsing and taking over the transfer market, developing an enhanced control of the liquid global betting markets, exploding the fake edifices of corrupted football agents, manipulating loci regarding IREF, mocking the murk, undermining the systemic corruptions of FIFA / UEFA and, most importantly, establishing a foundation for the next stage of the spectacle.
The Lizard is building up and tearing English corruption down.
GOD BLESS ENGLAND --- THE TRANSPARENCY OF CORRUPTION PART 2
Rising from the ashes of the desolation of your sport, here is Part 2 of our interview with the SM Group from Dundalk.
This content will be made public in the window ahead as we celebrate our 18th birthday as an Anti-Corruption Whistleblowing Network.
Death To The Landlord
4. Where There Is Organised Crime, Captured Institutions & No Regulation, There Is Corruption - The Only Construct That Might Save English Football From A Permanent Future Of Mafia Matchfixing Is IREF
In our work in Dundalk, we find that a lack of regulation produces corruption as there is no oversight nor any any ability to address the malicious forces of predatory capitalism. Is IREF a panacea for English football?
Mafia entities in UK football are fearful of the impacts of IREF if / when this supposed regulator comes to fruition. Game theorisation of the lead up to government oversight is the primary strategy of all power groups - the EPL, the PGMOL, mafia and market makers.
Trust the mafia to regulate themselves is the cry.
This is the whole purpose for establishing IREF - to clean up the English sport and reduce power-based corruption and arbitrariness in decision making.
IREF is the crucial battle.
The whole vocabulary of football suggests fair play - a sporting chance, in the spirit of the game, follow the rules, sporting behaviour, be a good sport.
The lexicon of mafia, in comparison, depends on crime, corruption, coercion, kickbacks and control of infrastructure.
And organised crime utterly destroys the sport.
If mafia entities in coke-filled rooms can decide (based upon criminalised hidden agendas) their corruption strategies then the entire fabric of the sport becomes captured by organised crime...
... not just the individual games and the ups and downs of the season but the entire infrastructure of the future of the game.
It's not just when you attach a betting market to a game allowing it to become the dominant force but also when you allow a non-regulated structure awash with money to oversee a sport enabling organised crime to take control.
The roots of money are in war.
Capitalism tries to disguise this reality with economists still claiming that barter was the foundation of money.
This is based on Aristotle's perspective: "... the various necessities of life are not easily carried about, and hence men agreed to employ in their dealings with each other something which was intrinsically useful and easily applicable to the purposes of life, for example, iron, silver, and the like."
It was one of Aristotle's pupils, Alexander The Great, who realised the actual function of money.
David Orrell: "With an army of over one hundred thousand soldiers, his salary spend during his conquest of the Persian empire amounted to about half a ton of silver per day. Most of it came from Persian mines, with the labour supplied by war captives... Coin money also helped with the related logistical problem of how to provide for the army. The state simply demanded coins from the population as payment for taxes. People therefore had to get their hands on coins, and the easiest way to do that was to supply the army with things like food or lodging. To say, as in economics textbooks, that the need to certify coin money 'created an important role for an authority' is therefore a massive understatement. Really it was the other way round: the state created a need for money through the use of military force. Today, it is no coincidence that the world's main reserve currency is backed by the world's largest military."
The US and the dollar; apartheid and genocide; captured state and corruption; mafia and no regulation.
IREF is a necessity to strip the rogue entities of their sense of entitlement where they feel they can manipulate everything to their agenda at will - spectacle, market, wallet, no watch, trust us to self-regulate this corrupted theatre.
The systemic corruption at the very core of the Premier League is a story that can no longer be told and IREF is leading to desperate attempts by mafia entities to eliminate, water down, capture or peripheralise any regulatory oversight.
Bob Marley: "You will never find Justice in a world where criminals make the rules"
Mafia are petrified of regulation and the policing of what they perceive to be their territory, their turf.
Organised crime do not want a steady depreciation in their power.
Gary Neville: "But their [The Premier League] mindset is such of a bully, their mindset is that they can influence a regulator once a regulator is introduced."
The EPL are additionally giving freebies out like candy to the Plank of Softwood and his dumbed down Cabinet in a pincer attempt to water down the IREF construct in parliament.
Loopholes need to be maintained, inputs need to be controlled, leeching entities need to be captured.
One might think that English football has something to hide.
There have been extensive efforts by organised crime to dilute the impact of IREF via the involvement of captured personnel in key positions and also via the creation of entirely fake constructs with the aim of jigsawing them into the captured IREF edifice once open to the public - for example, see - The Football Is Fixed Integrity Index 2023 / 24 Season.
In an ideal world for organised crime, IREF must be so ineffectual that crime can continue without deceleration by oversight.
If a tree falls and there is nobody there to hear it, does it make a noise?
In fact, does the fucking tree even fall in the first place?
Other European leagues would appreciate a robust IREF too as the Dwarf exports his corruption matrices to Italy, Spain, Germany and beyond.
It's a latter day evolution of the English Disease by the concrete master race.
From Njal's Saga: "... with law our land will rise, but it will perish with lawlessness."
Premier League football oscillates between systemic and semi-systemic corruption.
The beauty is being stripped out of the sport by organised crime with their matchfixing and insider trading and coercion of players and doping and rogue match officials and captured media and an apparent randomness in the applications of the rules of the game.
The EPL has turned into a spectacle of farce.
It's a bog standard predatory capitalism template.
But the hyperreality is worse than that because these loci of corruption are being monetised on a proprietary basis via abuses of the global betting and player transfer markets.
Manchester United, for instance, have their EPL match outcomes known in the South East Asian underground markets to greater effect than any other club in the world.
The club leaks more than the roofs of Old Trafford stadium.
That pithy point has resonance because money and value is being stripped from the sport due to a lack of regulation.
The rewards are privatised and the public is left to rot.
The betting markets must be regulated and insider trading must be disclosed.
Entertainingly, there are two distinct forces engaged in the battle to take control of IREF.
As football is fixed, our Network already knows the winner of that particular war.
English football desperately needs a regulator with teeth...
... and whiter than snow in regulatory role rather than having a White Dwarf with his God Complex tossing white phosphorus onto the integrity of the sport.
Death to the mafia matrix.
Irish Ways And Irish Laws
Addendum #1 - The Appointment Of The New England Manager
As a specific example of why English football requires IREF to enable the game to function legitimately, take the whole process around the England manager position since Gareth Southgate moved on.
Without any sense of due process, the Lee Carsley / Ashley Cole / Joleon Lescott triumvirate was helicoptered in and the resultant inappropriate power of Wasserman agents led to the vastly overrated John Stones being made captain for the Greece match even though he hadn't been able to hold down a starting position for his club Manchester City (despite the long term injury to Rodri).
Greece ended up as the lowest ranked team ever to win at Wembley.
Carsley made it clear he wanted to return to the Under-21s but malicious forces attempted to coerce him into staying.
The FA under the Bullingham Boys is a captured entity and no formal interview process took place regarding a long term replacement for Carsley.
Several managers have complained about this use of smoke and mirrors in the appointment of the next England manager.
These major positions should follow process and not be a private matter between rogue and a captured entity.
The employment of Tuchel is simply a turf grab.
From the perspective of a particular rogue operator, the core desire was to get his own man into the post or, if that proved to be impossible, to ensure that a sleeper was in the managerial team.
And so it came to be with Anthony Barry arriving as Thomas Tuchel's assistant.
Barry is unsurprisingly represented by Wasserman.
More importantly, Barry has been a member of a failed managerial team at all of his previous roles at Chelsea, Eire, FC Bayern, Belgium & Portugal. There is no evidence as to his alleged talents.
We expect John Stones to be made future England captain based on these corrupted inputs.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail rants that Tuchel's appointment is a "Dark Day For England" and "Three Lions Gamble On A GERMAN [their capitals]".
Sean O'Keeffe: "Would it be churlish to point out that a German has been managing England since 1714?"
Addendum #2 - The Takeover Of Newcastle United
At the time of the takeover of Newcastle United by the Saudi state, we announced that then prime minister Johnson was aware that the Saudi Public Investment Fund was merely a front for Mohammed bin Salman and that, consequently, the takeover was illegal under EPL rules as the Saudi state were televising pirated Premier League footage.
There was a vaguely legitimate Tory minister ██████ ██████ sitting at the virtual table of this illicit negotiation process and he has just released all of Amanda Staveley's WhatsApp messages during the takeover to Telegraph Associate Editor Gordon Rayner - seeNewcastle United Takeover.
It is clear from these communications that Johnson, Staveley, Mike Ashley and the Premier League were all aware that a takeover was taking place illegally according to EPL rules.
But when filthy rich people are getting filthier and richer with the assistance of those who bend the rules, take a slice of the action or prorogue parliament as they see fit, the sport is entirely deconstructed.
A state terrorist who orchestrated the murder of investigative journalist Jamal Khashoggi now owns Newcastle United and UK organised crime cuddles up to this monster in the hope that some rotting flesh will slither from his blood-laden table.
If the government, twisted financiers and the Premier League cannot police themselves then it is critical that we have an independent regulator to stop the ongoing rapacious theft of the value and integrity of football.
The release of these WhatsApp messages is a cleansing process targeting one particular organised crime group that attempts to destroy all aspects of English football.
Little by little the Dwarf diminishes in stature and impact.
The Premier League is refusing to comment publicly on this matter although, as ever, they are leaking to the Dwarf that they see no reason to revisit this case despite clear evidences of inappropriate application of rules.
MPs however could re-examine the takeover after the Telegraph released WhatsApp messages proving that bin Salman was orchestrating the deal.
This is just yet another reason that English football requires a robust IREF.
IREF here...
... or mafia here?
Amach Anocht
5. The Arbitrary EPL Charges Against Manchester City & The Role Of Organised Crime In Preparation Of This Case
You sent us extraordinary & extensive evidences that the Premier League case against Manchester City is arbitrary, contrived, set to the hidden agendas of an organised crime group and partially orchestrated by other EPL teams who have a vested interest in taking Manchester City down (particularly Liverpool & Manchester United).
Why haven't you made this evidence public?
Have you shared it with City and / or their legal representatives?
I see his blood upon the rose and, in the stars, the glory of his eyes
All Out
To celebrate the government introducing the Football Governance Bill in the House of Sociopaths, Sycophants and Inherited Wealth, today we share some constructs that really need to be addressed by IREF once it comes into existence.
IREF is the only thing that can save English football from the malicious influences of the Clown.
This Clown is too chaotic to be integral to football's future.
All In (Exhausted)
In just one weekend of football action, the Premier League, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited and the Football Association provided the abused football fan with the following array of fake spectacles, stuff and nonsense.
A Clown coalesced and catalysed these boiler room scam operations before laundering the hyperealities via his controlling oversight of some media output.
A Clown is linear not quantum.
A Clown believes Scenario Analytics is a promising Hungarian left back.
A Clown slithers in the gutter of short term corruptions while thinking this is what is known as strategy.
A Dwarf has undergone a metamorphosis into a Clown.
It was a chaotic weekend in the world of this Clown, an extension and extrapolation of the wide array of his rogue inputs....
There is fake on the field of play, promoted by fake in the media, with an outcome being an entirely fake construct that cries out for a government-backed regulator...
... just like IREF, only with teeth.
All In (Exhaustive)
Ryan Fraser (represented by Wasserman) entered the field of play as a Southampton substitute before exiting 3 minutes later having given away a penalty by tugging the shirt of Jamie Vardy (Wasserman). After Fraser (Wasserman) received his red card, Vardy (Wasserman) converted the penalty. Just minutes earlier an identical instance of shirt pulling occurred at the other end of the pitch as Jordan Ayew (Wasserman) fouled Paul Onuachu in the penalty area (with the shirt tug lasting for longer). Strangely referee Anthony Taylor elected only to give the Leicester City penalty and not the Southampton one. Ayew (Wasserman) went on to score the winning goal in this boiler room scam of a corrupted game. Even stranger, we found no evidence of Mr Taylor having any mysterious correlations between his in-play decision making and the betting markets. An unusual match all round.
But the biggest controversy last weekend was the officiating of referee Rob Jones and VAR Official Jarred Gillett in Arsenal's defeat at Bournemouth. Both Jones and Gillett are Liverpool fans who are not allowed to officiate on Liverpool's matches. They can however officiate games involving Liverpool's main rivals. The false sending off of Arsenal's William Saliba not only lost Arsenal the game but also meant that the defensive lynchpin would miss next weekend's potential title decider between Arsenal and Liverpool. These two Liverpool referees are not the only pair who cannot officiate on Liverpool games and this has been an issue with Manchester City games over the last two years. Arsenal and City should unite against this integrity manipulation - we have intercepts, transcripts and all of the insider trading patterns on the relevant games. The Saliba decision was further highlighted by a red card not being issued to Tosin Adarabioyo for an identical foul in the Liverpool vs Chelsea game on the following day. It is worthy of note as an addendum that there is magic in the air when Gillett is involved in EPL games in that one particular major global bookmaker magically knows the game outcome pre-match magically and that key insiders magically profit from this tragic magic. Magic!
The tears of a Clown... Just as Mo Salah scored the opening goal in this match, Telegraph associate editor Gordon Rayner published his dramatic proof that the Premier League, former prime minister Johnson and the mainstream media were lying over their knowledge of Mohammed bin Salman being in control of the takeover of Newcastle United. The WhatsApp messages from Amanda Staveley's account were absolutely damning. At 11pm that evening, the Clown attempted to diffuse this new reality with a defensive piece in the Guardian that was removed the following afternoon and replaced with a further article by the Clown where he said that the Premier League had leaked to him that they were choosing to ignore the impacts of these revelations although they were not prepared to make a public comment. I wonder why?! At the same time the current government were looking at the legality of the Newcastle takeover with the first response being that the Premier League must not take into account government foreign policy when addressing future takeovers. This will be included in the IREF bill, the government assures us. Football fans deserve to be in uproar over the Newcastle takeover cover up but the response of the Clown is merely to bury the story from the Guardian and pretend it never happened. The Clown can only fool the fans some of the time.Top class journalism. The Clown has a keen interest in the Newcastle Saudi Arabia project with 6 Wasserman players being at the club managed by Eddie Howe (Wasserman). Additionally, the Clown was an intermediary behind Newcastle's record signing Sandro Tonali. The Clown hid the fact that Tonali was about to be banned for betting offences in Italy thinking that his brand of sociopathy could peripheralise any impact. Tonali was banned for 10 months and the Clown used his output at the Guardian to try and create an altogether more cosy narrative. He failed. To enhance the ties, Steven Gerrard (Wasserman) is manager at Saudi club Al Ettifaq. As a complete aside, it is always worth any sceptics looking at Newcastle United matches when Gillett is involved as referee or VAR.
After Anthony Barry (Wasserman) was announced as assistant England coach, Mikel Arteta (Wasserman) said that he would be interested in the England post in the future. The Guardian, which exists under the Clown's heel, announced that Eddie Howe (Wasserman) and Graham Potter (Wasserman) had been considered to succeed Gareth Southgate. Joleon Lescott (Wasserman) had been assistant under Southgate but still had his Sky Sports gig to fall back on. Arteta (Wasserman) also endorsed Tuchel and Barry (Wasserman). The Guardian is a comic.
In the Telegraph, Jamie Carragher (Wasserman) wrote an advertorial on Enzo Maresca (Wasserman) saying that the Chelsea manager should follow the example of Thomas Tuchel and Barry (Wasserman) at Chelsea.
Despite a Premier League weekend full of intriguing and erroneous inputs from the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, the Guardian bemoaned a misapplication of VAR when Gary O'Neil (Wasserman) saw his team lose to Manchester City. Former referee Keith Hackett said the decision was correct. And it was.
In La Liga in Spain, the bottom two clubs (Las Palmas & Valladolid) were winless going into the weekend's games. Fortunately for them, Antonio Sivera (Wasserman) of Alaves gave away a penalty and only saved one shot in the entire game as Valladolid picked up their first win of the season by three goals to two. Karl Hein (Wasserman) was the keeper for Valladolid. Then Pepelu (Wasserman) got red carded for Valencia allowing Las Palmas their first win of the year. Six players in this Valencia vs Las Palmas game were represented by Wasserman. The defeat leaves Valencia at the bottom of the table. We have been told that the Clown is considering taking on Valencia owner Peter Lim. We would strongly suggest that this is not a very good idea.
The Clown's continued targeting of Wayne Rooney continued (simply because Rooney's wife has demolished Vardy's wife in the Wagatha Christie trial). Firstly there was a first half red card in the defeat at Cardiff and secondly Bali Mumba (Wasserman) made the critical error that led to the goal in Plymouth's 1-0 defeat at Millwall (managed by Neil Harris of Wasserman). The Football Association had given Rooney a touchline ban for the Cardiff game after he objected to the officiating in a previous match against Blackburn (managed by John Eustace of Wasserman). The FA mustn't like Rooney as they never even responded to his application for the England manager post. The Cardiff and Millwall games were particularly key as they are Plymouth's rivals in the fight against relegation from the Championship.
The Guardian (under the Clown's control) ran two headline articles last Saturday morning pointing out the data that damned Ten Hag and his precarious position as Manchester United manager. This was weird journalism because the game between Manchester United and Brentford was an agreed result with a one goal margin (as the Clown was well aware). Brentford were heavily backed +1.5 on the Asian Handicaps before Rasmus Hojlund (represented by SEG) scored the winning goal past Mark Flekken (SEG) saving the job of Erik ten Hag (SEG). Rene Hake (the United assistant manager is also a SEG man). Elsewhere, Joachim Andersen (SEG) of Fulham got himself red carded against Aston Villa.
Last year, the Clown was behind the mailicious release of fake information which undermined Lucas Paqueta's proposed move to Manchester City. Paqueta called for an FA inquiry into these fake leaks which became a stance mocked last weekend in the Guardian. Here is our original article on this case - Paqueta
The Guardian also decided to entirely hide the fact that John Stones (Wasserman) was one of the partying players who put professionalism in second place at Benjamin Mendy's raves. Stones has been made England captain via Wasserman control structures.
Even at the peripheries, the Clown distorts footballing integrity in his serial abuse of the fans who, in effect, pay his wages.
The FA has announced a five match ban for Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis for the crime of standing up to rogue officiating and the presence of the Clown in the Premier League. Marinakis was livid at the incredibly twisted officiating of Josh Smith in the game against Fulham. The Forest owner's crime was to spit on the ground. 5 game ban, for that? Yet the PGMOL obviously weren't happy with Smith's performance either as he hasn't had a Premier League referee or VAR appointment since. Interestingly, we have some very interesting stuff linking the nonsenses in the Forest versus Fulham match with insider trading in the markets. Sweet.
Last weekend, the Guardian ran a puff piece on Caoimhin Kelleher (Wasserman) prior to the Liverpool vs Chelsea game.
New Match of the Day pundits include a matchfixing player ███ █████ plus Theo Walcott (Wasserman) and Phil Jones (Wasserman). It is critical for the Clown to launder his processes in the mainstream media.
Serial managerial failure Neil Critchley (Wasserman) has landed upon Heart of Midlothian as new manager.
David James (formerly represented by the Clown) was a Guardian media presence simply for being involved in the half time spectacle of fun at Anfield where he played pantomime villain in return for column inches in the mainstream media.
All In (Poker Play)
These shenanigans count as strategy in the Clown's universe.
His orchestration of the 'Football Leaks' scam where information was secreted and doctored to enable the Premier League case against Manchester City to exist has split the Premier League in two and one club that the Clown believes is in his camp are actually working with Manchester City in the current court case.
The Super League (World or European) is much more likely to come about as an unintended consequence of the Clown's attempts at strategic foresight.
The nonsenses outlined above are just par for the Clown course every single weekend.
Football in England has two potential routes ahead - the Clown or the Lizard.
Fans should pray that the Lizard is victorious in this Cup Final.
Football is Fixed (as torque show hosts) would trade heavily on a Lizard victory - The Lizard Is The Winner

They represent our present to you all.
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's Isle, they began abusing
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me shillelagh I let fly
Some Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobble in
With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin

6. The Replacement Of Integrity With Spectacle & 'Randomised' Officiating In The Premier League - Match Officials Who Are Not Only Owned By Inappropriate Forces But Who Also Trade On The Corruptions That They Are Perpetrating & How Such Officials Rise To The Top Of The Sport: Corruption Structures Within The Professional Game Match Officials Limited
The standard of refereeing and the application of VAR in the Premier League is a total joke. But it's worse than that from all of this stuff you have sent through. It is nothing more than a systematic corruption being monetised by criminalised forces.
This is a standard predatory capitalism construct.
How did Mother England's refereeing end up in this state?
Roberto De Zerbi: "I don't like 80% of Premier League referees. That isn't a new opinion. I don't like them. I don't like their behaviour on the pitch. England is the only country where, when there is VAR, you are not sure that the decision is right. In England, no, and I'm not able to understand."
The Premier League has just provided us with a second consecutive weekend of extensive boiler room scams - see All In --- A Weekend's Work for details of the first of these rounds of matches.
Let's take a very brief glance at what transpired.
Jarred Gillett, the VAR official who made the incorrect and outrageous call which led to the red card for William Saliba at Bournemouth was given another Bournemouth match (albeit as Assistant VAR to a very junior VAR official).
More weirdly still, Gillett was also given the VAR position on Chelsea v Newcastle despite his peculiarly evident bias in favour of the Geordies.
The VAR calls in this event were not consistent with integrity.
Former referee Keith Hackett described Michael Oliver's VAR intervention to give West Ham a late penalty which defeated Manchester United as one of the worst decisions he had ever witnessed.
In effect, Erik ten Hag's dismissal was precipitated by this fake call.
Meanwhile, England's other top referee Anthony Taylor made a whole array of decisions tilted in favour of Liverpool at Arsenal.
He was ably supported by VAR official Michael Salisbury.
And this follows two Liverpool supporting referees mugging Arsenal last week (see above and linked article above).
Livarpool have been a PGMOL construct for several years now.
Gillett, Oliver & Taylor are allegedly elite.
When the Clown managed to elevate both Jonathan Moss and Neil Swarbrick to the PGMOL Select Group in 2010/11, he was imitating a template utilised by rogue Scottish referee Hugh Dallas who 'trained up' two referees to carry on his good work after his retirement from on-field shenanigans.
We have exposed numerous corruption templates orchestrated by Moss and Swarbrick over the years. But, in brief, integrity was not on the radar when these two match officials were in charge.
When Swarbrick retired from black whistle work in 2017/18, he was promoted to Head Of VAR at the PGMOL where he oversaw the very worst roll out of video technology in any major league.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) rules on VAR were entirely ignored by Premier League officials with a delay in the introduction of the technology and in referees initial refusal to use the pitchside monitors while decisions were arbitrarily constructed between the referee and the VAR Official.
When Howard Webb gained control of the PGMOL, he sacked Swarbrick last season along with Lee Mason and Mike Dean.
Soon afterwards, Moss scuttled off into the sunset.
It is worth noting that none of these officials reached UEFA / FIFA level yet were deemed the elite at the PGMOL.
De Zerbi is spot on when he states that the lack of professionalism regarding the implementation of VAR is not present in other leagues.
Elsewhere, although there are certain complaints about the length of time it takes VAR to correct errors, the general view of fans is that the process eliminates distortions to the authenticity of the sport by ensuring that the right decision is made.
Only the Premier League has issues with the correct implementation of VAR - together with an apparent mockery of the fan (and football) via squiggly lines, non-perpendicular to the touchline offside visuals and an apparent refusal to treat each instance by the rules of the game.
Ostensibly, it was this non-application of the rules that led to the sacking of Mason and Dean last season, as the former mysteriously kept being selected for Brentford matches (in 2020/21 Mason was VAR for a third of the Bees' EPL games) and the latter showing a bias towards Liverpool that was as blatant as it was crooked (Dean moved out of Liverpool in order to be able to officiate Merseyside matches and, for no reason whatsoever, was granted private jet air travel courtesy of a bookmaker).
Market makers, bookmakers and professional gamblers will all inform you that by far the biggest input to match outcome is the selection of referee and VAR (particularly in corrupted leagues like the EPL).
This has always been the case although the market structure has become much more volatile since the cyclical processes of systemic and semi-systemic corruption templates have been the foundation of the Premier League.
On Match of the Day recently after Anthony Taylor had given out a record number of yellow cards in one EPL game, there was a studio discussion which ended with Gary Lineker uttering the immortal words "... well done to everyone involved in that"; and even Guardian journalist Scott Murray stated (over a ridiculous refereeing decision during the Crystal Palace versus Liverpool fix): "... the latest thing that's been made up on the spot."
There are four primary issues with the PGMOL.
Firstly, the officials are too few in number and too limited in ability. This produces spurious outcomes.
Secondly, there is momentum behind making football less of a sport and more of a spectacle. This is leading to extreme variations in the application of the rules of the sport.
Thirdly, some referees develop inappropriate alliances with entities associated with betting markets. There exist peculiar positive correlations between certain betting market participants and in-play decision making by some match officials. Money changes hands.
And, fourthly, the resultant match decisions are at best subjective yet randomised and, at worst, corrupted and arbitrary - a theatre of corrupted spectacle.
This produces ridiculous flows of diametrically opposed reading of the rules over windows - e.g. the PGMOL officials reading of last man tackles or kicking the ball away to delay a restart.
But in a sport like football, one fake, erroneous or corrupted decision often decides the outcome of the game.
It is imperative for integrity in football that all efforts are made to produce correct decisions.
Points 1, 2 & 3 above can be somewhat addressed by markedly increasing the size of the refereeing roster. Elite referees simply aren't elite.
But the subjective nature of the reading of the rules requires an entire restructuring of Stockley Park.
Instead of an 'elite' referee serving as VAR official, there should be, say, 9 officials spread around the country who are able to react to on-field calls and effectively vote for the correct decision.
With more referees and greater spread in reaching a decision, there is less incentive for organised crime to coerce match officials to behave accordingly plus a much better visual outcome for fans and, equally importantly, for the integrity of the Premier League.
We should also be allowed to hear the communications between Stockley Park and the referee - there's surely nothing to hide, is there?
The Subjective --- Arbitrary --- Corrupted --- Traded evolution must be terminated.
Because this progression also generates a repetitive question in the minds of captured match officials - how will my decision impact on the power hierarchies, the insider trading, the spectacle, the global betting markets?
IREF should do this thing and bring the PGMOL within the regulatory body (rather than bizarrely existing as a private company as is now the case).
Corruption is the elephant in the room.
In the Premier League, we detect insider trading linked to, well, insiders at a high percentage of matches.
In the Premier League, the VAR process has always been distorted.
In the Premier League, some officials would appear to have extremely close affiliations with certain teams.
In the Premier League, only the most problematical referees get a job for life after retirement.
In the Premier League, the Clown is behind attempts to get Wasserman-represented former players to train as referees. The public message is that this will improve decision making but the reality will be an enhancement in corruption.
HOW THE CLOWN IS DESPERATELY ATTEMPTING TO DERAIL MANCHESTER UNITED'S APPOITMENT OF RUBEN AMORIM
Ruud van Nistelrooy exhibiting his folksy racism as a blacked up Balthazar
There are significant orchestrations by gutter operators to derail the appointment of Ruben Amorim as the new manager.at Old Trafford.
Organised crime has been undermining Manchester United in recent seasons against the wishes of the Glazers, INEOS, the club and its fans, and desperate efforts are underway to maintain control of this turf.
For starters, rogue elements within Manchester United frequently insider trade the match outcomes.
This occurs more than for any other major team on the planet and these monetisations of the sport sometimes result in defeat...
... sometimes a resounding defeat as per the 0-7 reverse at Anfield that was systemically matchfixed.
Intercepts and leaks show that the Clown is working overtime to prevent Amorim coming in to Old Trafford.
This is despite everybody else (club, INEOS, Amorim, Sporting Lisbon, fans, Glazers) wishing that it completes.
Amorim is by far the best available option and is a top tier manager...
... and, even better, he currently manages a team that plays in green and white hoops!
While United languish in 14th place in the EPL and are without a win in the Europa League (sitting just ahead of Elfsborg and just behind Plzen in 21st place), Amorim has guided Sporting to the top of the Portuguese league, only Villa & Liverpool have more points in the Champions League and they are in the semi finals of the domestic cup competition in Portugal.
Sporting's entire record this season is 13 wins 1 draw 0 defeats, 40 goals scored, 5 conceded.
The most striking aspect of the Clown's many mini-heists is that, if landed, the fallout is always in his favour and always against the requirements of the entity that he is choosing to undermine.
It's a ████ thing.
And so it is with Manchester United's appointment of a new manager.
The Clown wants van Nistelrooy as he is able to leverage the Dutchman's output.
In support of this attempted heist, the Clown has control of the Guardian football output (as is his wont) - see The Cleansing Of Manchester United for historical context since Ten Hag disappeared to Amsterdam with his ill-gotten booty.
Yesterday, for instance, the Guardian claimed that Amorim was taking an "enormous risk" taking the job because of the state of the club.
Soon afterwards the paper reported that Amorim would have no money for January transfers (not true).
And then a major puff piece was put out promoting Ruud's appointment (carefully ignoring the Solskjaer Effect).
And this morning, some other pseudo-journalist at the paper put out some propaganda with the title "Amorim saved Sporting from despair but United are a whole new test".
This followed a theme from yesterday at the Wasserman-controlled Guardian football section where Barney Ronay claimed: "Ten Hag saga a black eye for Ineos as United's brand dies".
And who fucking killed it?
This is simply chaotic and corruption-based chutzpah.
One of the primary reasons that Manchester United are in such a state is the nefarious influence of the Clown with his insider trading and transfer market inputs.
United have become this bad primarily because of the Clown!
Ruben Amorim becoming United manager is a nightmare for the Clown as it entirely demolishes his rapidly diminishing influence at Old Trafford.
The Clown is at (turf) war with Portuguese agency Gestifute and Amorim has associations with Jorge Mendes.
This war against Gestifute has been in existence for over a decade and forms a part of the stitch-up charges laid at Manchester City's door in the ongoing legal case with the EPL.
The Clown hates all things Gestifute.
He hates Ronaldo.
He can't abide Mourinho and did everything within his power to undermine the man in his recent forays into the Premier League (often via the inputs of a rogue match official).
Mourinho is apparently delighted about the Amorim appointment only partially due to the fact that he is the best man for the role.
Sources tell us that the Clown is "on one" and his fears are enhanced by Amorim being favourite for the post with Marco Silva (represented by Gestifute) as third favourite.
THIS IS A BIG BATTLE FOR THE CIRCUS CLOWN.
HE'S THROWING ALL HIS TOYS INTO THE RING.
The Clown's desperate robbery entirely depends on delaying the Amorim announcement until after the League Cup tie between Manchester United and Leicester City which takes place this evening with van Nistelrooy in the dugout.
Intercepts show that he is orchestrating that template of delay.
The Clown has power over Leicester City (see numerous historical articles) and we will closely be monitoring the outputs of certain players as well as referee Andy Madley and 4th official Michael "Trust Me" Salisbury.
The Clown controls this event and leaks demonstrate that he is seeking a statement United win via an accommodating Leicester City.
Although, if Sporting insist on Amorim serving his 30-day notice period, Balthazar will have 6 games to prove his worth (and Michael "Trust Me" Salisbury is VAR official for Sunday's visit of Chelsea).
More importantly, it couldn't be an easier run of matches with 5 home matches (against Leicester - twice, PAOK, Bodo/Glimt & Chelsea) and a visit to Ipswich.
My Network and our broker are closely monitoring for insider trading on the United game this evening while our contact within Old Trafford is also on the case.
So are some Romanian security operators.
The Guardian intends to portray van Nistelrooy as The Saviour in the aftermath of this farce and the fan euphoria will be energised by the spectacular theatre being planned for Ruud's Pre-Coronation Performance at the Theatre of Dreams tonight (and potentially beyond).
Aside from the fact that Ruud once blacked up as Balthazar and decided to share the image on Twitter (deleted since Ten Hag's scarper to Schiphol) and the more pertinent fact that he hasn't even completed a full season of being a manager anywhere and was unemployed for 14 months after he walked out on PSV (until Ten Hag and the Clown came calling), he is vastly inexperienced for such a significant position.
We understand that the Clown acted as a catalyst to bring van Nistelrooy in as a "back up" when / if Ten Hag were to be sacked..
United don't need another managerial appointment where the Clown has any power.
The club don't need another Solskjaer.
Or another Rangnick or another Ten Hag...
But you have to give the Clown his due over persistence.
He is heavily promoting Wasserman-represented managerial inadequate Graham Potter as a fallback option should the Ruud project end up on the rocks.
Nobody believes in the Clown's universe but they largely bow low to his sociopathic power.
The Clown's only interest in the club is as an asset stripping operation.
He is in the process of converting the strength of the biggest brand in global football into a proprietary bank raid private equity style operation where a fair percentage of all that goodwill, all that brand status, all that history is transferred into his own offshore bank accounts.
Today, Ruud ripped off his turban to urge Manchester United to turn their season around "while we have time."
Translated from the Dutch, I think we can all understand who "we" are in this statement.
And it's not the club.
Ruud health is not the cure for the Clown-infected chronic illness at Manchester United.
Addendum:
Through creative disclosures over a strategised time continuum, via sousveillance alongside Romanian security consultants, with the incorporation of shrewd and an ever-evolving array of battle plans and a holistic strategy that dovetailed all military operations together, Football is Fixed have just undertaken a Toussaint L'Ouverture raid against a Ringmaster..
Menaces & Maletas were hidden behind the curtain allowing our carefully primed raid to prevent criminal acts coming into full fruition.
GOD BLESS ENGLAND --- THE TRANSPARENCY OF CORRUPTION PART 4
Britannia's huns with their long range guns
Five times on the ropes...
... and six times that he fell.
We had to delay continuing this Interview while military manoeuvres were implemented.
How fucking exciting.
This is the postmodern plight of being a whistleblower - much time is spent at war and the omnipresence of war is permanent.
On the board where we play our games, there is stalemate as neither side may make a legal move and neither side is in check.
There may be a stalemate but there can be no ceasefire without constructive moves to rid English football of corruption.
And until that beautiful dawn...
Football is Fixed Network will continue to hang out the flag of war until the occupying forces of systemic corruption are driven from our sport...
... either by direct action or by regulation or by both.
7. Corrupted Players & Referees Morphing Into Corrupted Media Post-Career
When we checked your archive of articles we couldn't help but notice that players and referees who you showed to be roguish have largely ended up as the talking heads in current mainstream media. The reasons are evident but would you like to share them anyway?
That's the deal on the table.
If you hand over your professionalism during your career to enable corruption to flourish then you are welcome at the post-career feast where your fake persona is utilised to enable the corruption continuum to flow into the future..
Corrupted players / referees gain during their career via illicit payments to facilitate crime coupled with proprietary insider trading. Furthermore, they remain at the peak of the sport as their handlers want the coerced entities to be on the field of play at the large betting turnover major events.
Corrupted players / referees gain post-career as instead of running a public house just outside Northwich, they are famous within the fake bubble of self-congratulatory blokey camaraderie and their fame is supported by media contracts and yet more insider trading.
Organised crime / bookmakers win in both windows.
It is noticeable how all of the referees that we have focused upon being problematical over the years have either had a promotion to the PGMOL after retiring or are the talking heads who provide disinformation (at worst) and squiggly doodle nonsenses (at best).
In what universe is a rogue like Mike Dean able to be on your fucking telly?
Bent players have more to lose as medals and trophies have to be sacrificed on the altar of systemic corruption.
But.
When it comes down to it.
Would you rather have an FA Cup winners' medal for beating, oh I don't know, let's say Wigan Athletic at Wembley or a post-retirement gig for life (at considerable recompense) chatting shit on the BBC?
Football agents, being the root of all evil, orchestrate these constructs - the matchfixing, the promotion of coerced clients in the media, the post-career rewards...
There's one saving grace.
The disinformation put out by the captured former referees / players in the mainstream media can be modelled, inverted and traded.
How sweet is that?
Corruption wraps itself around the face of English football like a vampire squid.
To leave no stone unturned in their quest for watertight crime infrastructures, the underworld powers-that-be also target coercion of commentators and their cohorts.
Bookies' pal Matterface replaced the far superior Clive Tyldesley at ITV entirely because the latter refuses to liaise with bookmakers. Similar machinationss saw Henry Winter sacked from the Times without valid reason.
Control of commentary on live events is a marked input to bookies' profits on the event.
So when Lee "Arsenal have got no chance, Arsenal aren't in the game, Arsenal look tired, Arsenal lack cohesion, a great goal from Arsenal which has been coming since kick off" Dixon or the lying hun are on co-commentary, always pay close attention to the outputs from these former players who have enjoyed profitable associations with the bookies.
Another journey is the one that match recordings make from ground to editing room to Match of the Day programme.
At some point in this chain of creation exists corrupted oversight and it's blindly obvious where it is.
It is the divine suite where narratives are written and where Wasserman clients are highlighted and their match outputs exaggerated.
It's the suite where realities are doctored and explanations are composed to misinform viewers over the latest occasion where Anthony Taylor sees a goal scored and then elects to blow the whistle for a fake foul that allegedly occurred thirty minutes earlier..
It's the sweet suite.
And what goes around comes around as the captured talking heads in the studio confirm the fake edits (with adjusted post-match commentating) that is being broadcast to our disbelieving eyes.
Premier League football is fake.
Skallagrim: "... the more journeys you make, the more directions they take."
8. The Swiss System Utilised In UEFA Club Competitions This Season Is Deliberately Primed To Enhance Corruption & Matchfixinhg While Destroying Fair Play & Integrity
All sports (including football) are balanced in integrity by the structures of the competitions.
This started to be distorted when cup draws and the fixture list templates themselves became corrupted. Now Spain's La Liga is seriously considering playing matches in America - that delicate structure of home & away match integrity is threatened.
But no entity has moved as far as UEFA in its destruction of the sport in favour of presentation.
Is sport just a corrupted spectacle now?
Yes.
From their rotten core, Britannia's huns with their long range guns are more than an occupying force, they are carcinogenic and infect football in other territories and in other administrations.
Organised crime from Britain has been corrupting UEFA for many years and this has been extended to numerous domestic European leagues over the last five years or so.
Certain agents have been exporting their corruption templates.
In Britain, this is what is known as a growth strategy.
Bizarrely, exactly the type of people who should have no power over the selection of referees for UEFA events are, entertainingly, exactly the sort of people who control referee appointments at European football's governing body.
As it's transnational organised crime that is required for European domination of corruption, appropriate liaisons are made for performativity.
But being battles over turf, these cartels (and similar constructs) splinter and fragment and many targets are missed due to psychopathic power plays.
Oh.
And the work of anti-corruption whistleblowing entities.
The new Swiss System in the UEFA club competitions is the most modular corruption template yet invented by the criminal fraternity.
Firstly, there was no 'draw'.
The matches were privately arranged away from the glare of any publicity.
UEFA had originally explored this rogue structure before claiming in the media that it had been considered and then rejected.
But, away from media, it was reconsidered and the desire for spectacle and insider trading meant that the public face was privately turned..
This was exposed through appalling control of the crime scene when Ronaldo, who pressed the button that allegedly activated the automated draw, found that the Barcelona games had appeared on screen before the said button had been depressed.
UEFA.
If you are going to be corrupt.
At least try to be clever with your corruption.
We prefer a challenge in our work.
Beyond that the Swiss System allows many more matchfixing events as teams have very low thresholds to achieve for qualification for the next round.
There is a simple law in football competitions.
The more teams that are able to qualify from a group, the more matchfixing takes place.
GOD BLESS ENGLAND --- THE TRANSPARENCY OF CORRUPTION PART 5
One Two Three Four Five.
And here is the final part of our Interview with the Stella Maris Cell from Dundalk.
Our aim in this process is to provide an overview of the corrupting mechanisms impacting on English football.
We strongly believe that IREF's brief is too narrow and blinkered to have any real impact on the lack of integrity in the game.
We always sing, even when we're losing
9. Mafia Infiltration Of The State
When mafia and state coalesce then the outcome is entirely systemic. As Malta is the base for so many bookmakers, what is the impact on English football of the integration of state and mafia on the island?
On the eighteenth anniversary of the founding of the Football Is Fixed Network, the autocratic regime of Azerbaijan begins its hosting of the COP29 Climate Change Conference.
The Azerbaijani government has been run by the Aliyev family for over three decades, elections are fraudulent and Freedom House describe the nation as "authoritarian".
The 'west' very much likes Azeri oil and natural gas as, via the Southern Gas Corridor, it reduces dependence on Russia, another autocratic and authoritarian state.
Why a rampant oil producer is presenting a conference addressing man-made climate catastrophe issues is a twisted Orwellian construct beyond the scope of this Interview.
Anyway.
Within the last decade in Azerbaijan, Amnesty International have reported "Reprisals against independent journalists and activists" and that "... the persecution of political dissent continued."
Ilham Aliyev, the president of this petro-fascist state used to cosy up to the mafia state of Malta when Joseph Muscat was prime minister and Keith Schembri was his chief of staff. They liaised over numerous matters including corruption in football.
Through the Maltese mafia state, rogue security services, mafia businessmen (Yorgen Fenech, for example), a whole array of illicit scams were established - the Golden Passport scheme was created allowing criminals into the EU, football was systemically criminalised, bookmakers flocked to the island, as did football agents eager to profit from the slave trade in third party owned African players being trafficked into Europe.
Civil society was also undermined resulting in the assassination of anti-corruption whistleblower Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017.
There are a lot of other countries where state terror, captured security services and organised crime penetrate one another in a Gombrowiczian style - Israel, the US, China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Hungary, Turkey etc.
Even Mother England with the politicised detention of Julian Assange, the role of the state in allowing the Saudi takeover of Newcastle United, the 'anti-terror' police activities against investigative journalists who talk about I****l or g******e or w** c****s or the H******l D*******e or e****c c*******g and in the systemic corruption at the foundation of the Premier League.
It is truly astonishing how the same states are revealed to be involved in transnational organised crime and terror once one starts to dig into the cesspit of corruption.
A member of our Network was approached by a Maltese military intelligence operative in Mallorca several years back. That led to an entertaining interaction!
And Military Intelligence operators in the UK have listed countries that I should not travel to which is fine as I wouldn't fancy going to any of them anyway!
But the point remains that it is the collusion of state and organised crime and terror and libertarian security that enables these global kleptocratic and criminalised templates to emerge.
It is a pity that football is embroiled in all this nonsense.
If this is football then I don't want it
10. Global Betting Market Structure: Corruption Is Guaranteed When The Global Betting Markets Are So Liquid & Everybody Has A Price & There Is No Regulation - Insider Trading & Market Capture & Criminalised Bookmakers & Matchfixing To Order / Short-Selling Your Team For Profit Because You're A Mafia Man & You Can Do That Thing
With the betting patterns and insider trading evidences that you shared with us, it is difficult to comprehend how football stands any chance of legitimacy against the hostile liquidity of the global markets. Many games are of minimal consequence compared to the betting markets attached to the event while competitive matches are even more prized by mafia. What chance is there for English football?
By some distance, the largest infrastructural impact on integrity in football are the global betting markets, the entirely non-regulated global betting markets, that would be.
From the dark pools where institutional power entities trade against one another to the South East Asian underground markets to the private markets for insiders to the public markets, the entire edifice is rotten to the core.
Bookmakers actively seek out liaisons with individuals close to the action - football agents, match officials, captured players and managers while reciprocally football agents bring corruption and matchfixing to the sport and seek market access for their criminal behaviours by enticing market makers to complete the route to systemic corruption templates.
Prior to last season, the Clown approached a bookmaker offering full details of matchfixing under his supervision and established a win - win agreement with the bookie.
This semi-systemic corruption has evolved into something of far greater consequence this season, entirely demolishing the integrity of the Premier League.
██ EPL teams have created extensive routes to market to monetise their insider trading (some teams frequently short-sell themselves as they rip off their fanbases).
There are only █ teams in the league who don't trade on their own games.
The situation with the PGMOL is even more insidious and it simply isn't feasible that the upper echelons of this private body are unaware of the systemic corruptions taking place under their alleged oversight.
Consequently, the betting markets are corrupted and, as a result, are entirely inefficient (i.e. all of the information is not in the price as otherwise there would be many events with 1/100 favourites or the draw being 1/25).
The bodies that supposedly monitor for matchfixing are owned by the bookmakers who massively profit from matchfixing while very few bookmakers allow winning accounts (unless from insider trading sources).
English football morphed into horseracing and has now evolved into a captured and corrupted online poker platform.
And not only is this insider trading and matchfixing accommodated by bookmakers with no regulatory monitoring but bookies infiltrate parliament via shady MPs to prevent any deceleration in their future corruptions.
The Football Is Fixed Network have provided our primary broker with 47 pre-match advices out of the 100 Premier League games to date this season.
Not one single advice has been wrong (although a few positions were breakeven on the Asian Handicaps) and for some teams we have a 10/10 return.
Using our machine learning and quantum market analytics etc means we are perceptive in the market place but these levels of performance may only be achieved in totally corrupted structures like the EPL.
Let's take a closer look at Manchester United under the Clown & Ten Hag and one very high profile referee.
If this is football (and it is) then we don't want it.
It is imperative that IREF is given the powers to address insider trading and matchfixing in English football.
Better way to live
11. Wikileaks & The Struggle Against Predatory Capitalism - The Critical Nature Of Direct Action In Bringing About Change
Predatory capitalism is at the root of all corruption. We agree with you on the criticality of direct action. The Football Is Fixed Network have succeeded in lasting 18 years. How?
Despite all of our sousveillance, despite all of the global array of servers that eat up all of our 'profits', despite our cellular web structure, despite our utilisation of extensive real-time coding and letter drops and our refusal to incorporate the usual electronic security options into our Network, despite the development of the Iceberg Effect that guarantees mutually assured destruction if the mafia come too close, despite the ongoing creation of enclosure squeezes where our enemies slowly realise that any move they make in the mid-game leads to checkmate in the end-game, despite the mockery which belittles the psychopath's limited sense of self, despite the forensic psychology, despite some support from military intelligence sympathisers, despite historically working with the best White and Grey Hat hackers in Romania, despite unrequested current inputs from these very same hackers, despite our direct action strategies, despite the state-induced self-censorship, despite our privileged access to the deepest of global betting markets, despite living rent-free in the vacuum of the Clown's head for nearly two decades, despite our holographic overview of the corrupted reality via intercepts, messengers, creative security intrusions and other elaborate laterally thought routes into enemy systems, despite playing the long war, despite being regarded as the best sports analyst on Earth, despite choosing not to release certain information made available to us to protect our sources into perpetuity, despite having two of the best lawyers that money can buy who are both willing to work with us free of charge, despite our extensive strategic defence and proactive military campaigns, despite the 'anti-Bletchley Park-ing' of our coding systems, despite the support of other whistleblowing entities and NGOs like the Courage Foundation, despite the fact that many of us have existed in this state for the entirety of our adult lives meaning that David versus Goliath constructs are our life norm, despite twenty grands worth of security on both of my residences, despite an lucht siuil security and tinker-gene resilience, despite our liaisons with political entities that confront power, despite the repeated facing down of the omnipresence of organised crime operating to sociopathic agendas, there has to be an element of luck in campaigning longevity.
The attempt on my life in 2019 only failed due to speed of reaction to hit the brake before the targeting vehicle wrote off mine...
... and that speed of reaction mainly exists due to countless hours playing football as a child.
Football saved my life so it only seems reasonable to repay the compliment.
Ah, ha ha, ha ha...
We are currently engaged in a programme where we train up other bodies in the development of robust strategic defence composites to address the intrusions of corrupted operations.
Several of the inputs mentioned above (plus a whole number more that we are not willing to share in public) are on an elevated level of criticality when it comes to whistleblowing.
One of the primary discoveries during this programme has been how near identical predatory capitalism infrastructures are present wherever corruption raises its illicit plasticated head.
We work with whistleblowers in the NHS in the UK (sic) and they are witnessing the takeover of senior levels of the NHS by individuals who combine parallel employment in the private health sector with membership of some fucked up masonic lodge.
The private healthcare industry is starving the welfare body to death so that, in future, the entirely privatised healthcare system can make you the offer: "If you want us to treat your cancer then you are going to have to give us your home."
Andrew Feinstein's work exposing the corrupted practices between states and the arms industry, the role of mafia and state in the assassinations of Daphne Caruana Galizia and Jan Kuciak, the malicious projects orchestrated by the Royal Bank of Scotland to asset-strip small businesses, the Post Office Horizon scandal, the imprisoning of Julian Assange for the crime of exposing the psychopathic reality of state operations and the elite (sic) levels of the private sector, the destruction of the planet by fossil fuel companies with the accompaniment of governments, the poisoning of our world with forever plastics and nuclear waste (whose half-lives will outlive our lethal mutation of a species by millennia)...
All of these are predatory capitalism farces - a refusal to accept externalities into price, a refusal to accept the future in the present, an aversion to regulation and oversight and a sociopathic desire to destruct the world of our children in the name of extensive proprietary power and short-term profit.
Control of the mainstream media is essential to prevent public discussion of these predatory capitalism infrastructures so it is vital that a direct action-based alternative media exposes the holistics of corporate and state crimes.
Equally essential is the utilisation of available transnational bodies that can integrate truth into a captured narrative e.g. the manner in which Assange liaised with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to prove that he was held as a "political prisoner" by the UK (sic) and USA.
But.
As the world is so distorted and dysfunctional, there are always unintended consequences even in the most carefully planned strategic operations.
Assange made three 'errors'.
Firstly, by releasing troves of documents in vaults of output, he informed his enemies of the full array of evidences that WikiLeaks had in their possession.
There were no hidden surprises for the psychopaths further down the line.
Secondly, he trusted that bastion of a disguised predatory capitalism, the Guardian newspaper, who promptly shopped him to the state leading to over a decade of illicit incarceration by a pair of rogue states.
And, thirdly, he has unwittingly made things markedly worse via the reactions of elite (sic) psychopathy to his disclosures.
Once WikiLeaks revealed just how monstrous western (and other) states were (both collectively and individually), the Trumps and the Netanyahus and the Modis and the Orbans and the Putins and the Musks and the Johnsons of this world suddenly realised that, as their masks had been removed, there was no longer any value in invoking public relations into their outputs.
If a psychopath is stripped bare and the world witnesses the skeleton of sociopathy, then becoming a latter day Hitler is the course of choice.
The Mask of Psychopathy is replaced by the Jackboot of Psychopathy.
Football Is Fixed exist within the Occupied Territories of a Clown's Corruption in the same manner as Palestinians 'live' in the Apartheid Occupied Territories of Gaza and the Irish live in the Six Counties Occupied Territories of a Gracious Crown.
As the elite have decided to terminate our beautiful planet in return for a super yacht, several homes and a conveyor belt of high class call girls, we are "living in the end times" of our species [see Slavoj Zizek for the hyperreality].
We're all fucked but at least we know who is responsible for the fucking!
Whistleblowers of the World Unite and Mock the Murk and Deconstruct the NeoHyperreality!!
Death to predatory capitalism!!!
There has to be a better way to live in the time we have left.
God Bless England --- The Transparency Of Corruption
12. God Bless England - The Transparency Of Corruption
What powers would you like IREF to have?
The Transparency of Corruption is a problem for those perpetrating matchfixing in English football.
And having a considerable section of the game under the power of a malignant narcissist Clown is not a very good idea either - the Clown is not slick enough nor strategic enough to hold such a position and he makes certain the eventual collapse of this house of cards.
English football needs to sift the shit instead of encouraging it to rise to the top.
No criminal infrastructure has permanency.
A robust and meaningful IREF is critical to take English football into a brighter tomorrow.
For anti-corruption whistleblowers, matchfixing can never be hidden as the perpetrators must always monetise their corruption in the betting markets.
No matter where or how deep in the market the insider trading takes place, we will always detect it.
The Transparency of Corruption is like a Goldfish Bowl.
All the swimming, feeding, mating, living and sleeping must take place within the bowl.
It is not equivalent to financial markets (or to cosmology, for that matter).
It is a closed system not complicated by derivative or currency markets; not impacted upon by external physical processes.
English football has a clear choice - clean it up or become irrelevant.
There is a huge ongoing debate under way over who actually owns football.
IREF exists within that flux but the powers outlined below will reduce matchfixing, peripheralise insider trading, limit the power of organised crime and lead to a cleaner product (as the owners of our sport like to refer to it).
* Global betting markets must be robustly regulated to tame corruption. This isn't going to happen anytime soon as the power bases are an accommodation between rogue states and organised crime in order to maintain market advantage. But IREF can be a pacesetter and address insider trading surfacing at British or British-owned or British-located SE Asian operations or British Overseas Territories or members of the British Commonwealth. God Bless England! She loves to export her criminal templates far and wide. If bookmakers want to exist within the above diaspora of predatory capitalism locations then they must be bound by IREF oversight. Any club insiders trading on private information should be banned from the sport and the market. In something as manipulable as football, all insider trading should be banned. The bookmakers need to have their books open to scrutiny and underground mafia bookmakers from the Far East should not be able to plaster their logos on Premier League team shirts nor on the advertising promotions that shuffle around the stadium. Betting is killing integrity. IREF must have powers to address this.
* The regulator of the first resort on the field of play is the referee. One of the reasons that organised crime worked so hard to destabilise the introduction of VAR into the Premier League was the removal of this omnipotent power from one flawed individual. Once Stockley Park was properly integrated into the template, VAR was allowed to function to an extent. As we have already shared in numerous places, the PGMOL is not a body of integrity. There are a whole shed load of things that we are not sharing due to the Iceberg Effect that would be front page news if published. IREF must be in control of the refereeing body. The roster of referees must be markedly expanded. Rogue officials mustn't be imported from around the world. All referee appointments cannot be under the control of one very compromised individual. Fans should be able to hear the conversations between referee, 4th official & VAR. To address the subjectivity of decisions in football, a grouping of refereeing judges should replace VAR - other sports like gymnastics utilise a panel of judges to avoid bias and subjectivity and English football should do the same. Some of the matches that these feckers are fucking over have global betting market volumes of £10 billion. Underperforming referees should be sacked. Refererees favouring any team should be sacked. Referees owned by organised crime should be sacked and prosecuted. And referees trading (in person or via proxy) on matches which they are officiating should be sacked. The PGMOL is simply not fit for purpose.
* So that fans may be aware of potential cartelised conflicts of interest on the field of play, the team sheets should include the name of the players' and managers' agents. This is the case in horseracing where owner, trainer and jockey are named as well as the horse. For example, fans have a right to know that the managers of Arsenal, Newcastle United, Chelsea & West Ham United all have the same agent, Wasserman (Wasserman also represented the sacked Gary O'Neil at Wolverhampton Wanderers), Attempts at agent-led corruption and matchfixing must be in the public eye.
* Doping is out of control in the Premier League and UK Anti Doping (UKAD) is conspicuous by its absence and its lack of impact. The monitoring of doping should be brought under IREF auspices with random testing of players both in and out of game and season. Currently the pitiful efforts to detect doping suggest that UKAD is a captured entity that does not want to upset the apple cart of performance enhancing substances being used to gain competitive advantage.
* The foreign policy of the sitting government should have no impact on the decisions relating to club ownership (particularly by mafia entities and / or state terrorists). The manner in which Alan Fucking Shearer, organised crime networks, Johnson's government, Newcastle United FC, Amanda Staveley, the PIF, the Premier League and Fucking Ant & Fucking Dec conspired to allow the murderer of Jamal Khashoggi to own the Geordie club must not become the norm. Similarly, allowing an active bookmaker to own a Premier League team (Matthew Benham at Brentford, for instance) is never going to improve integrity. The bastard doesn't even allow winning accounts at his bookmaking operation and he's simply taking the piss as every single Brentford game is a boiler room scam.
* The entire absence of the fictitious concept known as trickle down economics applies to football just as it does to the wider continuum of predatory capitalism. There never has been any trickle down from capitalism's birth - colonialism, slavery, navvies, gig economy workers... IREF needs to take control of the English game's financial monitoring to ensure that the slow bleeding to death of a myriad of teams from across the country is terminated via an enforced sharing of the booty flowing into the EPL. English football should not solely belong to the Premier League and its captured agendas.
* There is also a role for IREF with the 'unionisation' of players that we discussed in Part 1 of this Interview. The PFA internally and FIFPRO externally can be advised as to how to avoid any of the issues around the transfer market - money laundering, trafficking and enslaving of African players, third party ownership, coercion of players by organised crime, managers charging players to be picked, agents bribing managers to pick their clients etc etc.
* Finally, IREF must fight tooth and nail to avoid their oversight of the game being influenced by the creation of loopholes to enable the shysters to continue being active as shysters into the future. Regulatory bodies frequently suffer from loophole dilution on the impact of addressing foul practices. The board of advisers and internal appointments at IREF should be for fixed terms of, say, four years to prevent regulatory capture. The interview processes in the English game are generally a private matter between a captured institution and organised crime. This must be changed.
God Bless England - The Transparency Of Corruption...
... but it does not have to be like this.
Football is a sport, not a mafia matrix.
May English football rest in peace.
Abhaile ar an sioruidheacht go raibh a anam.
The Irish Times: "Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour whose really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically for the Irish, it's like having a neighbour whose really into clowns and also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown"
Football Is Fixed: "Having systemic corruption in the Premier League in England is a little like having a sport that's really into a Clown and has daubed their league with Clown matchfixing, displays Clown clients in all media and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss Clown-related news stories. More specifically for Football Is Fixed, it's like having a sport that's really into a Clown and also, your Network has experienced threats, menaces and violence from a Clown"
The Coote Coup For Football Is Fixed's 18th Anniversary
In the 2022 / 2023 season David Coote became the first match official to be appointed to both domestic cup finals in the same season - both events involved Erik ten Hag's Manchester United
We have been reliably informed that the Clown was behind Coote's appointments
Here is what a former referee said at the time of Coote's appointment for the League Cup Final: "I shall now be very careful in what I write. My opinion is that Coote does not receive this appointment because of refereeing excellence. The powers-that-be clearly wish to reward him with appointments which... are beyond what his on field performances seem to merit. Why that should be is a matter of conjecture and speculation about which I have an opinion though I will keep it strictly to myself"
All you amateur analysts out there should create two databases of David Coote being VAR or referee for Liverpool matches - the first should address the events prior to (but including) his nonsense decision as VAR official not to call attention to the assault by Jordan Pickford on Virgil van Dijk in October 2020; the second are his matches involving Liverpool since that date
Miraculously, Coote seems to have experienced an epiphany after the Pickford farce and any 'biases' by the official suddenly inverted - Coote pre-Pickford is strongly negatively correlated with Coote post-Pickford
It must be magic
Good riddance anyway
One of the many totally excellent things about the mainstream media angles on the alleged targeting of Liverpool and the decline of David Coote is that it is Liverpool who, in reality, have the most to lose from Coote's demise (alongside Arsenal, Manchester United & Newcastle United)
And the Clown has lost a Web Setter - a costly error
In fact, he's recently lost three Web Setters, just like that
There's so much beauty to this particular hyperreality but a primary primordial glow exists around one issue - how the scripted spectacle of content dressed up as sport can be thrown entirely off piste by one dose of a real reality from a captured Fool
The Clown laments the Fool
The Clown (and associates), however, are desperate not to lose the Fool, so much so that Peter Walton has been telling media that referees "aren't corrupt" - unfortunately, Walton also has linkages with the Clown and had some 'issues' of his own regarding integrity when he was an active PGMOL referee (see Peter Walton Is A Red Bastard)
And now we have been told that Coote is a linesman too...
... might as well do a white line
Malcolm X: "The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice"
On the telly the other night they were pretending to be in Athens for the Greece versus England UEFA Nations League game
They weren't in Athens.
They were in the UK in a studio being prompted on their guided vocal output
This has two impacts
Firstly, the commentary team are distracted by the duality of monitoring the action on the field of play on a selection of screens whilst also monitoring the "action" in the studio - this led to Lee telling us that "Athens is a tough place to go" before being swiftly corrected as to his simulated geographical location while Sam mistook one Black man hitting the post for another, got the wrong goalscorer of one of the goals and failed to see Pickford's key stop at 1-0
There was also a conveyor belt of carefully filtered information regarding England's potential position in their group as the match progressed - Sam & Lee weren't actually lying...
... they were just being economical with the truth
Very economical
And, secondly, there is no true narrative flow, just bookmaker prompted / agent cartel prompted / insider trading disinformation prompted claptrap
Everyone is a winner
Apart from you
The fan
Scott Murray in the Guardian Minute-By-Minute (MBM) commentary from Athens wrote after 4 minutes: "England need to win this game if they're going to have a chance of finishing top the group. They need to match or better Greece's 2-1 scoreline also. With this in mind, on ITV, the commentating team of Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon have already mentioned the benched Harry Kane over 800 times"
England scored after seven minutes
Oh
And Scott Murray wasn't in Athens either
Furthermore, the MBM commentary is controlled by agents of the Clown to disguise under performance and enhance over performance by the Clown's clients
And the reasons for this corrupted templates?
To bolster bookmakers' profits, fleece punters and enhance the value of the Clown's clients
THE CLOWN IS ATTEMPTING TO PROTECT HIS MATCHFIXING REFEREES
As we have already shared with Network members, the Clown is attempting to hide the routes that three captured PGMOL referees have their match manipulations and matchfixing monetised in the betting markets - we placed all intercepts on the new Bucuresti server earlier today if you missed them
Well, Mr Clown, that doesn't work as we have an operative in Cyprus
And another at ████████████ ██████████ ███ ███████████████ ███████
The Clown owns these three officials as he did David Coote before he was outed from the game at the onset of the International Break
Fortunately, the PGMOL Chief Refereeing Officer is a former policeman Howard Webb so we can safely relax knowing that he will be doing everything in his powers to detect and remove dodgy referees
However, if Webb is unable to police his officials then IREF must take over the PGMOL as it is the major locus of matchfixing in the Premier League as rogue match officials are, in effect, a corrupted 'regulator' of the last resort
Of course, the Clown has a history of referee manipulation - let's take a look at Jonathan Moss
Moss and the Clown played together at Sunderland in the early 90's
The Clown got Moss promoted to the PGMOL Select Group referees in 2010 / 2011 having previously boasted to Football Is Fixed Network that he "owned" the official
Moss had a particularly rogue professional refereeing career especially in his malicious officiating of Jose Mourinho as part of the Clown's targeting of Gestifute
The last match involving Moss as referee was the incredibly fixed Championship Play-Off Final in 2022 between Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield Town
Moss was then made a manager at the PGMOL before being forced out after rows with leading referees
The Clown then got Moss the role of Head of VAR at the Scottish FA where he lasted just 52 days - VAR intrusions in Scotland have been the most contrived of all major European leagues
Then Moss was made referee chief at Football Australia
Jobs for the boy
The Clown should be helping the police with their inquiries
The Clown should also be interviewed over serial sex offender Mohamed Al-Fayed as he was Fulham FC club agent at the time of the rapes and sexual assaults and was very very very frequently in very very very close contact with the Egyptian during his serial abuses of vulnerable women
The Clown should be helping the police with their inquiries
Interestingly, the insider trading corruption template at Manchester United didn't alter one iota in the changeover from Erik ten Hag to Ruud van Nistelrooy and all analysts will be very interested in how this template changes under Ruben Amorim
The Clown should be helping the police with their inquiries
When the Clown is rattled (which he undoubtedly is currently) he tends to hit out randomly while, in parallel, attempting to display his organised control over matchfixing and media
So, England versus Eire was a matchfixing event with Caoimhin Kelleher (represented by Wasserman) letting in the first five shots on target which fitted neatly with the insider trading and the excessive praise for Kelleher pre-match from ITV reprobates Roy Keane and Mark Pougatch coupled with mainstream media puff pieces in the aftermath
The Clown is a frustrated music mogul and constantly attempts to surround himself with manufactured artists who he leeches onto with his plasticity and shiny teeth
So he was present at the funeral of Liam Payne out of One Direction yesterday and was instrumental in getting Louis Tomlinson (of the same band) to appear for Glasgow Celtic in a charity match for Stiliyan Petrov
Being a dark empath, the Clown likes to be seen to be associated with good deeds while criminalising everything in his orbit - he is a latter day Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde bipolar dual reality psychopath who gains media sympathy for clients who he has driven to suicidal acts while hanging around Jimmy Savile wannabees and matchfixing our beautiful sport via the coercion of players and referees
The Clown should be helping the police with their inquiries
The Clown should be made famous for what it is that he is
John Clown is an International Thief Thief who exports his corruption templates to other major European leagues
THE PGMOL PRODUCES FAKE HYPERREALITIES IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE --- THE PGMOL IS NOT FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER OTHER THAN THE ACTUALISATION OF A SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION TEMPLATE
Just Like That - How The PGMOL Achieves Magic
The future of English football depends on knowing the fake realities as matchfixing operations have murdered the soul of the sport producing a resultant dismal pretence of play.
The Premier League table produced below (prior to the weekend's games of December 7th - 9th 2024) shows the real table without the corrupted erroneous inputs of the PGMOL.
The average points differential from the allegedly legitimate table is 3 points per club for the nineteen members of the division aside from Liverpool.
By a conjuring magic, Liverpool have received an extra 15 points courtesy of PGMOL roguery mistakes.
Spooky!
1. Arsenal 14-31 (-3)
2. Chelsea 14-30 (-2)
3. Manchester City 14-29 (-3)
4. Nottingham Forest 14-24 (-2)
5. Bournemouth 14-23 (-2)
6. Fulham 14-23 (-1)
7. Aston Villa 14-23 (-1)
8. Tottenham Hotspur 14-21 (-1)
9. Liverpool 14-20 (+15)
10. Newcastle United 14-20 (0)
11. Brighton And Hove Albion 14-19 (+4)
12. Manchester United 14-19 (0)
13. Crystal Palace 14-18 (-6)
14. Wolverhampton Wanderers 14-16 (-7)
15. Brentford 14-13 (+7)
16. Everton 14-13 (+1)
17. West Ham United 14-12 (+3)
18. Ipswich Town 14-12 (-3)
19. Southampton 14-12 (-7)
20. Leicester City 14-9 (+4)
Of course, in the holistic, it helps that there are a number of PGMOL referees who cannot officiate on Liverpool matches due to either living in the city, supporting Liverpool or both.
That's fine.
This happens in all leagues - check out the number of Bundesliga referees who support FC Bayern, for example.
But, in the Premier League, this construct has become criminalised an issue.
When the match officials who are not allowed to be on Liverpool matches officiate on Manchester City or Arsenal, more tricks occur, more matchfixing operations manipulation of outcome.
Addendum - Check Liverpudlian referee Rob Jones and the red card (and the denial of a penalty) for Manchester City's Rico Lewis this weekend as an example of this distorting control of integrity.
Jones turned a City victory into a defeat, just like that.
One can argue that this decision, although erroneous, was just a subjective mistake.
Cool.
But VAR should have got involved and given the penalty but the PGMOL are captured so we had a fix instead.
Plus, if it was just two incompetent refereeing 'errors', how does one explain that every single key underground bookmaker knew before the game that City would not win at Selhurst Park?
Fantastic stuff and nonsense.
And, on Matchfixing Match Of The Day, complete lies were propagated over the incident with the commentator (commentary added post-match) claiming that VAR couldn't review the red card as it was a second yellow which, frankly, is entirely fucking irrelevant - the penalty foul occurred prior to the yellow / red card and Jones should have gone to the monitor.
Incidentally.
A good way of determining truth in the EPL is to listen to the corrupt racist Alan Shearer, invert whatever shite he is spouting and, voila, there's your reality!
Jones was also the referee who ludicrously red carded William Saliba in Arsenal's defeat at Bournemouth earlier in the season.
Will the lanky streak of scouse piss be given a title winning medal at the conclusion of the season?
He should be.
Furthermore.
When Liverpool last stole won the EPL title in 2019 / 2020, they received 25 'extra' points over the season.
Statistician Ted Knutson stated: "It's entirely possible that Liverpool are gaining advantages that aren't being picked up by the xG model. At a certain point when... the expected goals doesn't reflect that [the Liverpool points tally], maybe you've got some stuff going on that is beyond the model."
What?
Like systemic corruption magic?
Exactly the same overview could be given for the entirely criminalised unexpected title triumph of Leicester City four years earlier.
In the summer, the PGMOL Chief Refereeing Officer Howard Webb announced that he would disclose which teams the PGMOL referees support...
... then more magical inputs and smokes and mirrors meant that this statement morphed into a "misrepresentation".
What do the Premier League and PGMOL have to hide?
Surely, the team supported should have no influence on anything in a professional infrastructure?
Evidently the referees in England are, to a significant extent, problematical to the integrity of the sport with one crime boss currently doing everything within his powers to stop the world being able to analyse where three EPL referees are having their match decisions monetised in the betting markets.
More fucking magic.
But it ain't only the refs.
Desperate Van
Entities at Manchester United insider traded the team's matches to a greater degree than any other club on planet Earth under Ten Hag and Van Nistelrooy...
... and when this pair were sacked and their orchestrator sent on his way, by utter and complete magic, the insider trading ceased.
Just like that!
Is the Premier League involved in this corruption?
Does the Premier League turn a blind eye towards this corruption?
Or is the Premier League so inept that it would fail to recognise corruption even if it was present at all of their gatherings?
Who knows?
Who Knows?
God Bless England --- The Transparency Of Corruption
DALLAS --- A FLASH DRAMA IN ONE ACT BASED AROUND REFEREE CORRUPTIONS IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE
Uilleann pipes celebrating Carolan's life & English football's death via the Clown's corruption
Dallas - the story of how a former referee known for his sectarian bias, trained up two younger referees to continue his biases post-retirement, before becoming the only person to get an MBE for head-butting the queen and who now makes all of the refereeing appointments in the Premier League on behalf of an organised crime boss.
Ghirls and Bhoys, we give you the Premier League --- the most corrupt football league in the world.
Characters
HUGH DALLAS, a former heavily compromised Scottish football referee who now makes all refereeing appointments in the English Premier League on behalf of PGMOL
HOWARD WEBB, a former policeman who became a leading referee and who is now Chief Refereeing Officer at the PGMOL. To show that police people don't do nepotism, he appointed his wife Bibiana Steinhaus-Webb as the PGMOL's Women's Professional Game Director. Steinhaus-Webb is also a trained police officer and has reached the rank of Chief Inspector.
MARTIN ATKINSON, a former policeman who became an English football referee before being employed as a PGMOL coach on his retirement from on-field activities. Atkinson was then made responsible for all referee appointments in the Premier League until November 2024.
JONATHAN MOSS, A former PGMOL referee who, during his career, ignored integrity as he was under the control of the Clown. Moss is still under the control of the Clown. After retirement, Moss became a manager at the PGMOL before being sacked and being levered in as a refereeing boss in Scotland. Moss lasted less than two months before the Clown exported him to Australia where he is now Football Australia's refereeing maestro. We have a lot of stuff on Mr Moss.
NEIL SWARBRICK, a former PGMOL referee under the tiny little thumb of the Clown who, consequently, was made Head of VAR on retirement. There he oversaw the least professional and most corrupted roll out of VAR in any league before Webb sacked him for doing exactly that thing. Swarbrick is a cunt.
THE CLOWN, A matchfixing organised roguery criminal sort of character held together by botox, fake enamel and plastic. The Clown is destructing the integrity built up in English football and is stripping that value out for proprietary offshore ventures. The Clown believes that football should be a controlled-outcome spectacle linked to the betting markets where insiders can monetise their corruptions of the sport. Football Is Fixed believe that the Clown is an organised crime boss with a Napoleon Complex.

The Matchfixing Mantra
The Matchfixing Man --- John "Clown" Colquhoun
In this novella, we have described the business practices of the Clown particularly in relation to corruption and matchfixing in the EPL.
The Clown directly controls a number of referees and he now has enhanced options through coercion of the referee selection process.
It has always been an issue with regards to integrity in the English game that all EPL referee appointments are made by just one individual.
Webb took over this selection process just prior to the truly remarkable criminality that led to Leicester City stealing the Premier League title in 2015 / 16 - there is no other example worldwide of referee-based bias being so explicit in a systemic corruption.
Once the war between the Lizard and the Clown broke out openly in public, the necessity of "owning" match officials became even more relevant as the referees became actual operatives in a semi-systemic turf war caused by the bifurcation of the corruption underpinning English football.
As the PGMOL evidently believe that it is critical that police people are involved in the core of their mob, Atkinson took over the referee selection process in this window.
The dichotomous nature of the semi-systemic criminalised template provided a perfect platform for analysts and hackers and contacts to piece together the reality of the PGMOL.
Some referees are totally totally bent.
Some are owned and have become friends of the perpetrators.
Others have a price and put themselves out to tender in the marketplace.
With some officials, peculiar positive correlations exist between erroneous decisions on the pitch and remarkably prescient insider trading based on those very errors in the betting markets.
Some officials, to demonstrate their Teflon nature, also trade on their erroneous decisions via proxies.
In the first period of season 2024 / 25, Atkinson was still in control of referee selection in the EPL and there was a certain degree of stability in match officiating.
But once Moss fucked off to Oz, Atkinson was helicoptered in to replace him in Scotland.
This was part of the Clown's alleged masterstroke in his war with an operation of significantly greater integrity.
His second gambit was the appointment of retired Rangers Scottish referee Dallas as the new individual in sole charge of referee selection in the English Premier League.
Two things on Dallas.
One.
There are very few things that Huns and Fenians agree on, but every single fecker in Glasgow knew that Ibrox owned Dallas.
Two.
The Clown once showed us evidence (inadvertently) that Dallas was training up two junior referees to replace him in his roguery on his retirement - two mini-Huns for future shenanigans.
Of course this latter prank failed when Rangers were liquidated before being reborn as Sevco, a tribute act.
Incidentally, the Clown mimicked Dallas's strategy by training up Moss and Swarbrick for his own nefarious purposes in the EPL.
So.
Why would an entity under very close scrutiny appoint an individual with historical integrity issues to allegedly clean up their operation?
Okay so.
What has happened since Dallas took over from Atkinson at the PGMOL last November?
The Clown has had his desired appointees selected for key EPL games where the Clown cleans up on two levels.
One.
He aids teams associated with his gang and heavily undermines teams linked to other camps.
Two.
The fecker has been stupid enough to orchestrate the corruption and insider trading on these captured matches in full public gaze - we have an operative at one of the bookmakers that has been in receipt of the illicit matchfixing trades and we have routes into other integral market making entities too.
Since we disclosed in this novel novella that this is what the Clown does for a living, the entire template of insider trading and corruption has evolved in the EPL.
It shouldn't surprise you to learn that our disclosures and Dallas's appointment were contemporaneous.
This produced an enhanced reaction from the Clown's troops which had the unintended consequence of providing us with waves of proofs of the semi-systemic infrastructure built by the Clown.
By targeting other clubs to the advantage of his own stable of content, the Clown is entirely distorting the Premier League to his own financial benefit.
The Clown hates integrity and has scored the most stupendous own goal in effectively aligning the strategic aims of all of his enemies into a collective that suits all associated parties.
Grand.
One might think that the mainstream media might take an interest in the contortions that spin around the likes of Webb, Atkinson, Moss, Dallas, Swarbrick and the Clown but your projections would be incorrect.
Despite fans being in uproar over refereeing biases and the dreadful standard of officiating in England, the mainstream media seem to think that structural changes around this criminalised template is not for human consumption.
The mafia are destroying English football and the media have averted their gaze.
We're done.
