In financial markets, as in sex, humour and volleying a ball home from just outside the area, timing is everything.
The superslick who are way ahead of the curve self-compress their future profits through their inability to appropriately time market entries and exits.
The bewildered who are reactive to the curve simply exist to provide the rest of us with our future cash.
So it is with blogging about markets.
We never release information that we are currently utilising to make gains in the markets unless we are sharing knowledge and information on a Consultative level.
We just do not write about certain matters.
Until the time is right.
And, the time is now most definitely right for the release of the second half of our dichotomous Xmas Freebie Bet.
The first, the opposition to Liverpool having even the remotest chance of winning the Premier League this season is already a winner.
If we had delayed the release of this particular Freebie, the price (and any value) would have long since disappeared - short-selling Liverpool around 5/2 (3.50) pays the bills; short-selling at 100/1 doesn't.
Timing again...
The remainder of this post should be read in conjunction with the earlier deconstruction of the free market capitalist system contained in the post "In The Lap Of The Big Bang".
Much of That Stuff underpins This Stuff.
Yesterday, it was officially announced that the Recession is over.
On an important day for hyperreal news, it was also announced that Cinderella is to become president of the EU, Barack Obama antihumously was beatified by the pope, and Dirk Kuyt reckoned that the United win will have fired Liverpool's title chances.
The Recession is not over.
It has hardly begun.
From the "green shoots of recovery" nonsense all the way through to "the recession is over" garbage, we are dealing with a purely psychological market here.
This has been a journey of pure psychology.
There are virtually no fundamentals supportive of this pseudo-recovery.
And, until a year ago, the majority of neoclassical economists denied that behaviouralism had any impact on the markets at all.
We, ie myself and my trading colleagues, used to think of ourselves as market analysts.
Then things became too hyperreal for such a job description and we all simultaneously became scenario analysts, as Reality no longer had any part to play in the new phase of the image.
Then even the scenarios became Dali-esque in their perturbations and bifurcations and what-not, and behavioural psychologists within a psychopathic system became the new name written on our brass plates, so to speak.
Self similarity mathematics ensured that the 'financial nuclear waste' buried away below ground, from earlier exercises in market hyperreality, would leak and worse over time in a repeated tsunami of Mandelbrot waves, as we became Fractal Chaotists.
And all this then must be set against the various super-systemic risks associated with man-made climate change.
So we are now Behavioural Market Analysts and Strategists, attempting to predict Fractal Scenarios, with Ecosystemic risk.
We are Arbitragers of the Hyperreality!!!
The people who created this Depression are those selected to lead us out from it too.
Take Gordon Brown, the British Depression Creator General.
The champion of the "light touch" regulation that he established with the FSA, he gave bank bosses plenty of room provided they seemed to know what they were doing.
The resultant "slightly heavier hand of regulation" is still attached to the same people.
Quantitative Easing (QE) has been the Harry Potter/Hank Paulson Magic Solution.
QE has never worked - in Weimar Germany, it led to hyperinflation, in Japan, stagflation, and in Zimbabwe, neohyperinflation and a chance for the British Isles to revisit the glories of imperialism.
Let us use an analogy by Dave Ransom at Wainwright Economics.
Quoting from The Economist: "Cars need two types of oil; petrol for fuel and engine oil for lubrication. The liquidity that the central banks inject is engine oil; without it, the engine would seize up but put in too much oil and you get problems too. It is not, however, petrol and does not make the car/economy go any faster."
Too much oil is misallocated and leaks all over the pavement, and produces inefficiencies and exhaust pollution, before eventually flooding the engine.
The Bear Market Bounce is a Fake Thing.
It began with professionals closing out their short positions against the system itself and it warped into a media-inspired construct of irrational thinking that was based on the intellectually flimsy foundation that the printing of an extra few trillion dollars is actually a good thing.
But the Real State of the financial system was already parlous.
As Mike Platt of Blue Crest HF) stated at the time: "It [QE] is the only policy option left."
The toxicity remains in the system as this jobless pseudo-recovery grinds to an engine seizing halt.
Some estimates reckon that there might be as much as $1.4 quadrillion of toxicity just waiting to surface.
Let us examine the psychology of the bankers who hold onto these toxic assets.
The banking industry, as well as being the cause, is acting as a magnifier of the Recession in free markets.
As one investment banker slithered earlier in the year: "Capital is like heroin, once you go down the capital intensive route, you can't go back."
Addiction drives the psychopathy.
And toxicity is the opiate residue mainlining around the life stream of the system.
The Economist evaluated the self-interested psychology of the banker earlier in the year: "A good bank will have recognised the problems of the really toxic assets and marked them down on their balance sheets accordingly; a bad bank will not. So if the bad bank sells assets into the scheme, it may be forced into making a write-down in capital; the last thing it wants at the moment... The whole scheme seems to assume that the problem in the markets is liquidity - these assets are priced at artificially low levels - rather than insolvency - that these assets are largely worthless."
And still in the system, waiting to erupt in a series of Mandelbrot waves of the next phase of the Depression.
This crisis is catastrophic because it infects the top poker table of the Rampant Ponzimonium that is Friedman's nightmare system.
But systemic banking crises elsewhere in the pyramid scheme are commonplace.
The IMF estimates that there have been 124 systemic banking crises since 1970.
These are episodes in which bad debts soared across the economy and much of the banking sector was insolvent.
And that's where we have to leave it for today, boys and girls, as I have to do my proper job.
The remainder of our latest deconstructions of the free market edifice will be trichotomous in their triptychity.

Marriner All At Sea, Fans Left Feeling Sick #
Was Sunday's match a fix?
How come the markets knew the outcome of the Liverpool versus Manchester United match before the event started?
Which of the Top Four were most favoured by match officials in 2008/2009?
Why did Riley, Webb and Dean get 36% of the live televised matches last season?
Why has Andre Marriner been given the most live televised events this season?
Is there a witchhunt against Sir Ferguson?
Which competition are Liverpool now focusing on for 'glory'?
The answer to these questions would have landed in your email in-tray this morning if you had been a subscriber to Football Is Fixed.

Celtic And Rangers Share A City, Shirt Sponsorship And An Aptitude For Financial Incompetence #
OMG I am part of the 60,943,912 block of humanity that owns 43.5% of Glasgow Rangers and nobody told me.
Disinvest me.
I don't wish to own any part of a stock that I would rather make a strategic short selling position upon.
This is a distressed stock.
All the playing staff are on the transfer list and it is rumoured that failed property developer, Sir Murray, was ousted from his eyrie by bankers.
I don't want to own 0.0000714% of this outfit.

Meanwhile, the situation at Glasgow Celtic is equally dire.
Our internal analysis of the match data over the opening three rounds of the Europa Cup matches shows that the only team worse than Celtic is CSKA Sofia.
48 teams, and the Bhoys are in 47th place.
There are internal ructions between players and management, appallingly inept performances on the field of play (Theo Guardian, who obviously have an interest in such matters, reckon that it is crazy that there are already question marks against Tony Mowbray. Really?), the club have now managed to lose three Champions League home ties as Fortress Parkhead has deteriorated into a Half Empty Shell Of Mass Discontent, players repeatedly arguing with one another on the pitch, and people like The Warmongering Dwarf, The Bookmaking Specialist, Lie-Well and The John Colquhoun Experience in the boardroom.
Yesterday, the British government stepped in over fears that the banks supporting Rangers might tip the esteemed club over into the depths of administration. This would mean points deductions.
And things like that.
It seems fair enough for HBOS to be concerned about the money owed, particularly in the light of the rampant exploitation of the Scottish Premier League by BSkyB.
We, as citizens of these islands, should also be concerned that public money is supporting the unsupportable.
How many other fake entities are enjoying our help in these Depressing Times?
When BSkyB targeted Setanta, the writing was on the wall.
And on this blog too...
Less money above the line in a waterlogged vessel was never likely to turn out well.
Desperate stares into the future envisage an Atlantic League (well at least Rangers and Celtic might overwhelm teams from the Faroe Islands) or acceptance into ScudamoreWorld.
The Scottish teams need to do some joined up thinking on their options here.

Pompey Chimes? Pompey Crimes! A Sorry Storrie Story #
This post, which is not for the eyes of you freeloaders, discloses the Real new owner of Portsmouth FC.
Just like that...
And, for excellent measure, we have a good old moan about Richard Scudamore, Our Great Leader, as well.
And we make some jokes, a couple of which are quite funny...

THE RIGGING OF PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHES BY INSIDERS, CONSORTIA AND BOOKMAKERS - A FOOTBALL IS FIXED FILE
This post represents the first in our series of Exclusive Football Is Fixed Files - High-Level Consultancy Documents that focus on Alpha in the football betting markets.
In these Files, we release the data, analyses and other inputs necessary to profit from the massive corruptions that underpin the Premier League.
This information is primary level.
That is, these data and analyses are frontline tools for our Trading Team at Dietrological.
We hold nothing back.
Obviously, the pricing structure reflects this Reality.
Consequently, clients will be market makers or brokers or top tier traders or administrators or officials or government.
The first Exclusive Football Is Fixed File is outlined below.
The cost is £250,000.
The deal is first-come-first-served.
If you require further details of the Football Is Fixed File, you may purchase a Précis of the Consultancy Document for £2500.
In this holistic overview, we provide some background and infrastructure to the insider knowledge and scenario analyses outlined below.
Should you feel that either the Précis or the High Level Consultancy Document itself might be of value to you or your organisation, please contact me at footballisfixed@googlemail.com.
Exclusivity creates value.
The market analyses and structures that we will be releasing are cutting edge and we know of no other location globally where such value may be purchased.
And at such a reasonable price.
FOOTBALL IS FIXED FILE #1 - THE RIGGING OF PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHES BY INSIDERS, CONSORTIA AND BOOKMAKERS
* The File details 10 of the major consortia and other illicit operations that corrupt Premier League match results for personal or company profit.
* The File details the specifics of each of these criminal bases - who is involved on a market making, rigging and overseeing level.
* The File details these criminalities via the utilisation of inside information, contacts, data analyses and scenario analyses.
* The File details the corruption as it stands today. Additionally, we will support the High Level Consultancy Document with 2 x Market Reports on each relevant trading day for a period of twelve months. This will allow the File to take account of the evolution of the corruptions.
* The File details how to evaluate the trading strategies of these 10 operations in real-time as the market unfolds.
* The File details the network effects of these corruptions.
* The File details the various disguises utilised by the match manipulators to hide their criminalities.
* The File details how these attempts at opaqueness evolve with time.
* The File details, most importantly, how these different criminal groupings interact on specific events, as the vast majority of Premier League matches now have more than one externalised and criminalised influence. When these strategies clash, the market solutions become much more interesting.
* The File details how to take defensive positions against this market corruption.
* The File details how it would seem impossible for the Premier League and the Professional Game Match Officials Board to be unaware of this mass corruption, particularly as the statistical likelihood of some of the administrative input is astronomical and then some.
* The File details the Big Picture Overview, the template that allows the purchaser to see the interaction between these different groups of match-riggers with regard to specific matches.
* The File details how a knowledge of the templates utilised by the riggers allows the best price to be achieved on one's own market input.
* The File details the betting markets where these operations place their positions.
* The File details are very cheap at the price.
A quarter of a million for the quintessential market solution for a quasi-ScudamoreWorld?
Gimmee some of that!

"Outside Agent" Defeats Liverpool; "Outside Agents" Defeat Football #
Today's post, which is for subscribers only, looks at why the Premier League only utilises 15 match referees, why the latest three additions to the roster are compromised, why there was a late change of referee at the Villa versus Chelsea match, why things will get worse from January, and why the whole league is dependent on the goodwill of the banks and the black market.
And we conclude with our internal conundrum...
WE HAVE, IN OUR POSSESSION, TWO INFORMATIONAL ANALYSES THAT WOULD BRING THE HOUSE OF CARDS OF SCUDAMOREWORLD TUMBLING DOWN.
WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUPPORTIVE DATA FROM THE ############ BETTING MARKETS.
WE HAVE THE FULL PICTURE - NAMES, BOOKMAKERS, INSIDERS, REFEREES.
WE MEET THIS WEEK TO DECIDE WHERE WE GO FROM HERE.

The Burnley Hillbillies - You're Just A Small Town Near Blackpool
Burnley is the sort of town where significant time in court may be taken to determine how far it is possible to spit at Turf Moor with the help of the wind whipping in off the Pennines.
A quarter of the town's population watch the football team.
It is a challenging place to be a visiting supporter, particularly when stood in the Burnley end trying to suppress your glee after Andy Preece had scored to give the Mighty 'Pool a 1-0 victory.
Thanks to Mick Whyte, a Critical Theorist who is obviously looking at the correct strata of hyperreality, we would like to prelude tomorrow's Blackburn Rovers versus Burnley Rumble In The Shire with the very excellent "A Dingle Goes To A Small Town Near Blackpool" from YouTube.
Check it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YyihwV8kl8&feature=related.
You should worry.
We have to live near these people.
And near Barnsley too.

Giving It Up The Ass, Taking It Up The Nose, Injecting It In The Lips; Why Maradona Is Proper And Pele Isn't
Please let the best ever footballer be able to continue his reign as the worst ever football manager for next years finals in South Africa.
Argentina were never going to be allowed to win the trophy due to the political hue in power there, and with the Argentinian FA taking on major media interests, there is some serious undermining to be undertaken.
But at least it will be fun while it lasts.
And the rig is on the way.
The share price in Desire Petroleum plc has ceased to rise as the machine source of the future earnings slowly journeys around the globe to Las Malvinas.
The buzz share is trading on speculation and psychology alone.
Which got us to thinking about the geopolitical systemic risk with the taking of any longer term investment in such disputed waters.
And if arbitration is ever required, we suggest that the following YouTube link be utilised as part of the case for the return of the Falkland Islands to their rightful owners.
There are simply too many highlights in the video to highlight anything.
Excellent stuff.

Data And Lies
Theo Guardian ran a report breathlessly telling us that there have only been 9 draws in the 76 matches in the Premier League prior to this weekend.
Thus ScudamoreWorld, the entity that puts pseudo-entertainment ahead of Reality, gives us just 12% of tied events while Serie A is currently offering one in three as equilibrium markets.
Just wait til the Murdochracy sorts that out.
But far more interesting than the raw data is the fact that i) in the first 66 matches, only four were drawn, ii) in the last round of matches, just after the news was first 'broken', five out of ten games were tied.
Just How Real?

Thus ScudamoreWorld, the entity that puts pseudo-entertainment ahead of Reality, gives us just 12% of tied events while Serie A is currently offering one in three as equilibrium markets.
Just wait til the Murdochracy sorts that out.
But far more interesting than the raw data is the fact that i) in the first 66 matches, only four were drawn, ii) in the last round of matches, just after the news was first 'broken', five out of ten games were tied.
Just How Real?

A Brother Karamazov Wins Man Of The Match #
If ever two rounds of FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 Qualifiers demonstrated the utter and complete fake of the whole charade, these last two rounds were it.
The icing on an incredibly corrupt cake inevitably occurred at the Mall.
David Beckham performs no more than adequately for 32 minutes as a substitute, publicly displaying his new self-adhesive Dostoyevskian facial hair, and Steve Bruce, the man who still seems to think that Rio Ferdinand has his nose on the job, gives Our National Treasure the Man of the Match award.
Fabio Capello is correct to compare this nonsense to the Nobel Peace Prize given to the man who is about to authorise illegal bombing raids on Iran, after the necessary mainstream media psy-op's, of course.
Not only was this award plainly ludicrous - when Beckham's four best inputs were highlighted after the match, two of the passes failed to reach their target, one was made into a viable pass only by the recipient, and the other was a poor scuffed shot against the post - some people were financially compromised.
Anybody who entered the last ten minutes with a betting slip indicating Peter Crouch as Man of the Match was probably already spending their winnings when Bruce stepped in to give the bookies 100% of the book.
Exactly how many punters had bet on a substitute being Man of the Match?
Exactly.
One of my colleagues was so astonished on hearing the news, he insisted on phoning around other trading rooms in clarification.
But this is an idea that should be expanded upon.
When there is a dull and pointless show of xenophobia on the park, add some shine with an enhanced Man of the Match.
Where would England be without Sir Bobby Robson?
Include him on the roster.
Where would we all be without the Red Army and the Polish Resistance?
Sign up them too.
And if some X Factorette sends us victorious like a lark ascending via the national anthem, let her be involved as well.
In fact, monetise the whole process further by having a punter phone-in (fake obviously) so that we might all register our thoughts.
Before Steve Bruce hands over a blank cheque to the bookmakers.
But we should feel sorry for the layers as they have, after all, had rather a rough few days as insider trading spiralled entirely out of control in the Blattersphere.
Take Bulgaria.

Now what is the reaction of FIFA and UEFA to such shenanigans?
And, how about the mainstream media?
Well, the former pair prefer focusing on criminalities lower down the hierarchy, a fact supported by the ongoing case against Macedonian side NK Pobeda, which has now reached the Court for Arbitration in Sport.
Bulgaria, like Romania, are in the EU and are geopolitically critical with regards to the gas pipelines being created to replenish our energy needs.
If their mafia rig football matches, who cares?
Ours do too.
Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph informs us in headline, not once but twice, that Berbatov scored a hat-trick for Hungary last night.
Finger on the pulse, as ever...
All of the following matches incorporated insider gambling that was successful in these final World Cup Qualifiers:
Ukraine v England
England v Belarus
######################
Azerbaijan v Russia
Cyprus v Bulgaria
########################
########################
Bulgaria v Georgia
#######################
#########################
########################
Lithuania v Serbia
In this last affair, it was a Bulgarian referee, Mr Genov, who gave the Lithuanians their two match winning penalties.
Or, in Baku, who exactly was so confident that Russia wouldn't win that they were willing to drive the market from -2.0 supremacy, all the way down to just three-quarters of a goal differential?
The Asian markets on the England v Belarus match only opened eight hours prior to the match kicking off #########################################################

We look forward to the administrative bodies exploring who was behind these betting coups.
But we suspect that the same pyramid of myopia will exist as occurs in other areas of the sport.
Take racism.
Prior to these final rounds of matches, the Serbian FA were informed that there would be points reductions for any further examples of racist chanting.
This had everything to do with Blatter's absolute determination to rid the game of racist abuse and nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that France were sitting in 2nd place.
Similar threats were not made to, for example, the Spanish FA or the Ukrainian FA.
Arbitrary rules, changed as the needs be, in order to create the necessary marketing paradigm.
What is the point in these qualifiers if FIFA are going to pick and choose anyway?
And, while we are at it...
What is the point of Qualifying matches being run as private betting markets?
And what is the point of giving the Man of the Match award to an overrated has-been, who can't hack it on the soccer fields of the HyperImperium, but who is vital to the World Cup Marketing Dream and England's 2018 bid?

The Shape Of Things To Come #
No major firm of bookmakers anywhere in the Far East is willing to price up the Asian Handicap on tomorrow's England versus Belarus FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 Qualifier.
Now, why would that be the case now?
Our primary Hong Kong broker will enlighten you.
##################################################################################
###############################################################################
#################################################################################
###############################################################################
#################################################################################
###############################################################################
Our broker makes the following comparison.
The England versus Belarus match is equivalent, analytically, to Italy versus Cyprus - neither side has anything to play for other than pride and FIFA Rankings.
The underground markets opened at -2.0 for each match (ie the markets believe that England and Italy are two goals superior with home advantage).
Italy, another territory famed for insider trading although nowhere near as corrupted as England, yet, is seen as a safer market by Asia as there is far less of this insider corruption.
The markets on the Italy game are open, intriguing and dynamic, while those for the England match remain firmly shut less than thirty six hours before the match.
Other similar matches are fully operative on the Asian markets eg Azerbaijan v Russia, Kazakhstan v Croatia, Turkey v Armenia, so what is it structurally that makes the England match so different?
Belarus are known to enjoy a little flutter on the horses, so to speak, and any match involving the MinskMen is likely to be a lively betting affair.
##############################################################################
#####################################################################################
##############################################################################
######################################################
And Belarus could only have so much of an input to Wednesday.
Effectively, Belarus have two options if they fancy some shenanigans - #######
###############################################################################
##############################################################################
################################################################################
###########################################################################
#########################################
So any market position entered into by the MinskMen is, by necessity, highly speculative.
England, on the other hand, in total control of the market, are able to make the match anything they wish it to be - particularly now Wayne Rooney is out.
Our broker suggests that the Gang of ############# and their associates in the private markets, and on the fringes thereof, are omnipotent with regard to the Manipulation at the Mall.
And that, boys and girls, is why the Asians are refusing to price up your 'competitive' match.
As soon as the Gang of ############# show their hand, the markets will poker up.
And while we are on the subject of fixed England matches, the most interesting outcome from the Ukraine match at the weekend was the performance of Perform/Kentara - the free market antisocials who put their own interests above those of everybody, and I mean everybody, else in pursuit of profit.
Allegedly 500,000 of the bewildered signed up to watch the match although with some of these, eg the armed forces, it was compulsory (war = football, again). Perform/Kentara are refusing to release detailed figures for two reasons.
Firstly, only a quarter of a million actually put their hands in their pockets to be fleeced by Ferdinand. This is considerably less than the one million 'limit' established by the firms.
Secondly, detailed figures would help fans game the auction in any future bidding process. And this is private information.
Perform/Kentara abused the template at the weekend.
Initially, fans were informed that the cost would be £4.99 rising to £11.99 on the day of the match. What they didn't inform you was that there was a graduation to this process - for instance, on Thursday the price had inflated to £7.99.
Why are fans, however bewildered, allowed to be psychologically abused by such a bidding process?
And, more importantly, as it effects those of us who choose not to be bewildered, although Perform/Kentara are claiming that there were no technical issues, there were.
Indeed, we know of a couple of trading operations who are considering suing for loss of earnings after the British internet framework creaked as the switch on occurred.
Furthermore, the bewildered complained of slow streaming speeds - this particularly affected those betting on the match as thirty seconds or more of action would have elapsed in some weird tertiary state of hyperreality.
"Hello, Betfair? I'd like £500 on Ukraine to win."
"You'll have to wait until the penalty has been taken, sir."
"What penalty?"
"The penalty that you are about to witness, sir."
"Wooohhhhhhhhh! How do you do that? Do you control time or Rio?"
Perform/Kentara insisted that the highlights package that they sold onto the BBC not be advertised until after the Ukraine match was finished in a further fit of rampant antisocial behaviour.
So the BBC could only promote their soiled product after 7pm.
That they chose to release this incredibly exciting news, so I'm told, during the equally fallacious Strictly Cum Dancing, is an utter and total triumph of the Fake.
Breathless BBC voice: "After watching these fake dancers dance badly, why not watch our fake footballers corrupt badly?"
In some future fake Engerland event, the internet-only coverage is going to bring the entire network down. Saturday was a warning. If Perform/Kentara or their ilk are going to profit through a Railroading Strategy in future, they should prime their legal department for a considerable backlash.
But just one final question?
Why is a private firm allowed to compromise the infrastructure of the internet in search of profit?
When the Russians do this it is termed a 'denial of service' attack...

War Mongering House Negro Rewarded For Militaristic Aggression And Historical Revisionism
The House Negro's first act on assuming presidency of the HyperImperium was to authorise an illegal bombing raid into Northern Pakistan.
This followed on swiftly from his precarious silence on the Israeli slaughter (in the usual 100:1 ratio) of 1300 Gazans, utilising high-tech US weaponry especially delivered for the genocide-to-be.
And, prior to being the latest branded pseudo-leader of the free world (sic), the carefully crafted personality declared that, once installed as president, he would recognise the Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915 as an act of genocide. Once the votes had been delivered, the hyperreality of trade and military geopolitics took over and the 'G' word never parted company with his lips.
So, the US president ignores genocide, supports war crimes and, indeed, instigates them.
So what?
Well, obviously, in a neohyperreality of universal magnitude, the House Negro has only been given the Nobel Peace Prize!!!
Now when people choose to add extra letters before and after their names, we are obviously in the arena of fake - think Sir David Richards, Baroness Thatcher, Sir Alan Sugar, Professor Niall Ferguson.
But just how fake do they wish it to be?
Very.
Obviously, again...
Three other US presidents have been awarded the Peace Prize - Woodrow Wilson, laughably, Theodore Roosevelt, hilariously, and Henry Kissinger, incredibly!!!
Did he get it for Laos?
And we know that he wasn't formally president...
...and you think Ronald Reagan was?
As Howard Zinn stated about Kissinger, "[Kissinger] who matches the definition of a war criminal very accurately."
But the Establishment reward one another for their acquiescence and compliance.
Always have done.
It is probably the Armenian issue that provides the best overview.
Robert Fisk: "In the autumn of 1915, an Austrian engineer called Litzmayer, who was helping build the Constantinople-Baghdad railway, saw what he thought was a large Turkish army heading for Mesopotamia. But as the crowd came closer, he realised it was a huge caravan of women, moving forward under the supervision of soldiers.
"The 40,000 or so women were all Armenians, separated from their men - most of whom had already had their throats cut by Turkish gendarmerie - and deported on a genocidal death march during which up to 1.5 million Armenians died.
"Subjected to constant rape and beatings, some had already swallowed poison on their way from their homes in Erzerum, Serena, Sivas, Bitlis and other cities in Turkish western Armenia. "Some of them," Bishop Grigoris Balakian, one of Litzmayer's contemporaries, recorded, "had been driven to such a state that they were mere skeletons enveloped in rags, with skin that had turned leathery, burned from the sun, cold, and wind. Many pregnant women, having become numb, had left their newborns on the side of the road as a protest against mankind and God." Every year, new evidence emerges about this mass ethnic cleansing, the first holocaust of the last century; and every year, Turkey denies that it ever committed genocide. Yet on Saturday - to the horror of millions of descendants of Armenian survivors - the President of Armenia, Serg Sarkissian, plans to agree to a protocol with Turkey to re-open diplomatic relations, which should allow for new trade concessions and oil interests. And he proposes to do this without honouring his most important promise to Armenians abroad - to demand that Turkey admit it carried out the Armenian genocide in 1915."
Or take Nagorno-Karabakh.
From Ryszard Kapuściński, quoting an Armenian imprisoned within his own land: "Our question is, How do we survive? It has been weighing on Armenians for hundreds of years. For centuries already we have had our own culture, our own language and alphabet... But our culture has a passive character, it is the culture of the ghetto, of a defensive fortification."
The House Negro was the third successive US president to promise the Armenian diaspora that he would recognise the 20th century's first example of a holocaust, only to backtrack under the glare of realpolitik.
And, as ever, the fake worlds of geopolitics and football repeatedly brush up against each other as UEFA and FIFA co-ordinate agendas to a political template.
The first trade-thawing between Armenia and Turkey occurred with dual presidential attendance at the World Cup Qualifier in Yerevan last year, and following Saturday's deal, Armenia travel to Turkey for the final match in the Group on Wednesday.
And, in Armenia's Group, Turkey were one part of a triumvirate of tilted playing fields in the penultimate round of matches at the weekend.
In tournaments where the rules are not made up as you go along ie not the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010, a key meritocratic input to the conclusion of the Groups is that matches kick off concurrently.
This stops any advantage to the team/nation kicking off later.
So, why were Turkey allowed to start 2 hours 45 minutes after Bosnia Herzogovina?
And with both matches having Italian referees too!
As it happened, it was irrelevant as Estonia weren't up to giving the Bosnians a game, but the template existed.
Or take Portugal.
The marketing desperation to get Cristiano Ronaldo to the World Cup took precedence over fair play as the Portugal match began as the one between Denmark and Sweden ended.
Even more outrageously, Israel unilaterally altered the kick off time, delaying their match for an hour so that it started half an hour after the Greece versus Latvia event.
Once again, the Greek victory undermined the advantage but the tilt still existed.
That Turkey and Israel were two of the three countries favoured in this way is rather indicative, we think.

"I Don't Have To Sell My Soul. He's Already In Me" #
The moment that England's chances of winning the 2010 World Cup ended came in the fifteenth minute in Dnepropetrovsk yesterday.
At that time, for the second occasion this season in England internationals, Rio Ferdinand, already well versed in defensive shenanigans at Old Trafford, did huge favours for David "Calamity" James, Key Sports agents and bookmakers throughout the land.
And in Gibraltar too...
For at that second, when Ferdinand was dreaming of ############################, the long ball through the nasal passage of what is allegedly a functioning central defensive partnership, led to the dismissal of one of the few totally legitimate keepers at the top of the English game, Robert Green.
In his place came Calamity, and out of the window went all those dreams, all those hopes...
Of course, as Arcesilaus said, "Nothing is certain, not even that", and stuff happens.
James might get injured in the remainder of the season.
Somebody might inform Fabio Capello of ###########################################
One of the other limited options might blossom.

Okay, that last one was a joke.
People basing their existences on the mainstream media are like all those dolphins or the disappearing bees - they are fucked up by modern communications.
The very very very worst thing that can happen to an English bookmaker is for an England team to win the World Cup.
Patriotic money is an issue in all Engerland matches, but spirals out of control when words like "glory", "waves" and "slavery" start being sung repeatedly.
As England, hypothetically of course, advance through South Africa 2010, the betting turnover increases exponentially.
It is put to the punter as a duty.
Your bookmaker/country needs you.
Back Engerland to go all the way.
We might only be a satellite state of the USA, less significant than California, but we are going to overcome Spain and Brazil, and it will all be like the World Wars again, and '66, and Three Lions, and there will be this huge collective shared orgasm throughout the land.
Except, of course, there won't.
Because after 15 minutes yesterday, on the western limits of another Imperium, Mr Ferdinand did his own particular duty.
So, how do we make money out of this?

The injuries, the returns, the external assistance both in the media and on the field of play, the transfers, the PR campaigns, everything is geared to partial success in South Africa.
Partial success for the nation that would be.

At that time, for the second occasion this season in England internationals, Rio Ferdinand, already well versed in defensive shenanigans at Old Trafford, did huge favours for David "Calamity" James, Key Sports agents and bookmakers throughout the land.
And in Gibraltar too...
For at that second, when Ferdinand was dreaming of ############################, the long ball through the nasal passage of what is allegedly a functioning central defensive partnership, led to the dismissal of one of the few totally legitimate keepers at the top of the English game, Robert Green.
In his place came Calamity, and out of the window went all those dreams, all those hopes...
Of course, as Arcesilaus said, "Nothing is certain, not even that", and stuff happens.
James might get injured in the remainder of the season.
Somebody might inform Fabio Capello of ###########################################
One of the other limited options might blossom.

"Only Walcott Is Better Than Me," Claims Messi; Dino Zoff Reckons David James Is Superior To Lev Yashin #
25% of blog posts in Britain are fake.
These bloggers are paid by the inevitable middle people to include content that is linked to a particular website.
We are inundated with such proposals, as they are seeking blogs that are trusted by their readership.
Some of these operations are less shady than others but, with the worst examples, the blogger is paid markedly extra for including positive content about the website with an embedded link in the post.
So.
Apart from right wing reactionaries unable to grasp Reality, most of our regular readers accept that we put out what we do in good faith.
Because we do.
So, the value to, say, Victor Chandler International of Football Is Fixed blogging positively about their role in the Gibraltan/European marketplace, their attitude to insider trading from Premier League managers and their response to approaches from consortia looking to rig games, is marked.
If we chose to do that thing, we would be given proper pennies.
The mainstream media works in exactly the same manner, except that it is 100% of the media that puts out the phantasmagoric content.
Much of what you read as news are simply PR/branding exercises on behalf of a particular operation.
This post, which is for subscribers only, examines the behaviour of one leading British paper with regard to one particular firm of agents that represent a number of leading English players.
We explore how the agents are able to 'buy' space in this paper to promote their agenda for their clients.
This is not news.
It is advertising.
And you are paying for it.

In The Lap Of The Big Bang - The Caged Baby Mix
In a few days time, we will be releasing the second part of our Annual Freebie Xmas Bet.
Entitled "Why The Markets Are Going To Do What The Markets Are Going To Do", the post, which will be for subscribers only, will assess whether the optimistic V-shape economic recovery is Real, or whether we should be expecting a U-shape recovery, or worse, a W-shaped one.
Or something worse still...
The first part of the Xmas Freebie was opposing Liverpool in the Premier League which, with three defeats in eight matches and a highly competitive Champions League group to boot, is a winner already.
We had to release this particular Xmas Freebie early as there would be no value in the bet by the time of the season of tyrannies of fun.
The post below was released in March.
It was re-released in May.
And we're sneaking it out again now as a serial Flashback.
To understand "Why The Markets Are Going To Do What The Markets Are Going To Do", you'll first need to revisit this post.
This remains the only post that I am truly happy with...

Why Free Market Capitalism Cannot Work; Why It Is Pointless To Reform Something That Cannot Work; Why Nobody Believes In Free Markets Anymore Although We Want To Maintain Appearances; Why It Is Time For A New Equilibrium State
Fractally speaking, all of our existences are to be determined to a major extent by the Physics of the Big Bang.
For financial economists, this is a pretty large externality to have left out of your risk assessments!
And, yet, that is exactly how flimsy is the intellectual rigour underpinning Friedman, Hayek and the Chicago School so mighty in ObamaWorld.
Of course, all other externalities are stripped out of the pricing system too, in order that psychopathic growth may be achieved despite the production of Real Super-Systemic Risk.
Carcinogenic Capitalism.
Occurrences that have already happened, some in the dim and distant past, are affecting the dynamics, trends and movements in the financial markets today.
Behaviouralism and Darwinism are primary drivers of the financial markets and yet such structures as 'Moral Hazard' (where market operators take excessive risk safe in the knowledge that there is no personal downside to such risk) were built into the very fabric of the free market model.
None of this Fractal Mathematics, Psychology of Finance or Behaviouralism has been utilised by regulators, government or the financial system despite such knowledge having been freely available for half a century - Mandelbrot, Kahneman and Tversky published in the early sixties.
Benoît Mandelbrot: "Financial economics, as a discipline, is where Chemistry was in the 16th century: a messy compendium of proven know-how, misty folk wisdom, and unexamined assumptions and grandiose speculation."
Through the provision of a psychopathic regulation-lite template where individuals were rewarded for public displays of their psychopathy in action, we should hardly express surprise that the elevation of such antisocials up the economic, financial and political ladders has produced systemic psychopathy in the atmosphere of the system.
Short-termism leads to a lack of strategy which increases risk.
Refusal to accommodate externalities produces feedback loops that also engender systemic and super-systemic risk.
And while these characters were filling their pockets while we were all still focused on all that smoke and all those mirrors, they were basing their illusion on prehistoric 'science'.
Neo-classical economics is pre-Galilean in its simplicity. Multi-disciplinary it is not!
Then there are the chartists and the technical analysts, believing in their candlesticks and their head-and-shoulder formations, all blinkered to any Holistic Reality but following the same data, the same prices, the same (dis)information, plotting the same lines on the same charts utilising the same off-the-shelf software which, if it were of any Real value, would be being used in a proprietary trading environment for isolationist profit. Actually...
Then came the Idiot Physicists - Econophysicists - to spread disaster far and wide.
Holistically challenged, this new breed of trader possessed all the professional inadequacies of their predecessors but with a new twist - black boxes.
Algorithmic analysis has grown exponentially in the last decade.
Curiously enough, this neatly coincides with the onset of the Permanent Depression which, as we all know, began in 1997, or thereabouts.
Black boxes are perfect for shenanigans.
You feed in the inputs.
You train your black box to recognise patterns in this data.
You mock trade the black box.
You build the black box into your overall trading portfolio.
And cybernetics works, to an extent, but not if any econophysicists are involved it doesn't!
It is all dependent on the quality of the inputs.
There are many additional issues with relying solely on black box technologies for trading including different pattern relevance in different market phases and the impacts of Black Swans, for example.
The key charges laid on the Chicago doormat are damning in their veracity - archaic theory, non-multidisciplinary, no Real risk assessment, unsustainability as a core competency, belief in 'magic' technologies, an absence of any atmospheric analysis and engendering super-systemic catastrophe scenarios.
Meanwhile, our Chicago Economist In Chief, Barack Hussein Obama Himself, doesn't understand the basic concept of the price-earnings ratio, thinking it is termed the 'profit-earnings ratio' in a Friedmanian Slip.
This cannot be a good thing.
Before entirely deconstructing this nonsense, we need to take a closer look at the Real reasons why such a system can NEVER work.
Gosh! This is pretty exciting for a Monday morning, I can tell you :)
On October 19th 1987, Wall Street fell by 29.2% in the biggest daily decline in a century.
The probability of Wall Street falling this amount is 10 to the power of 50.
Mandelbrot: "You could span the powers of 10 from the smallest sub-atomic particle to the breadth of the measurable universe - and still never meet such a number."
Free market capitalism underprices risk.
In fact, it frequently excludes risk from the equation entirely.
The outcome of this blinkered approach to all of our Realities is that, in the words of Mandelbrot: "The odds of financial ruin in a free, global market economy have been grossly underestimated."
October 19th 1987 simply should not have occurred.
Last Year's Crash should never have happened either.
But they did and such Black Swans will continue to blight this myopic system until it is nicely deconstructed and put away in its box, under the bed.
Fractal Mathematics are the key here, obviously.
Butterflies flutter and hurricanes hit mainly Black areas, only to be ignored as an Unreality by government.
Decisions are made, systems developed, regulations changed, globalisation created, insider trading enacted, markets are cornered, monopolies allowed, cartels fragment, the state gets involved, new financial markets are established, private markets and Dark Pools established etc etc etc. Each of these quantums of influence set in process the fractal future.
Every single quantum Reality impacts on the future market price.
Behaviouralism cuts across all these feedback loops as a further fractal input.
As Slavoj Žižek states: "The problem is today when you have chaos or disorder, people lose their cognitive mapping."
Chaos reigns.
Take volatility.
There were more daily swings of 5% or more in the FTSE 100 in November than in total since the Second World War.
Were the market hyperrealities really more volatile in November or was Mass Psychology at play?
All fundamental, systemic, regulatory and cybernetic fractals are massively disordered by the impact of the Behavioural.
Although listed under their sub-sections of Gestalt or Psychoanalysis or whatever, there is a Darwinian dynamic to the manner in which markets evolve.
This, of course, brings us back to the 'animal spirits - psychopathy' doublespeak.
And this is why super-systemic risk is being so massively underpriced in the financial system.
While all of the free market ideologues and their apologists in the seats of power are shuffling the papers, printing the money, pretending that there is another boom-and-bust possibility in this game yet (which, unfortunately, there probably is) and extending this pretence to the territory of carbon markets and cap and trade schemes, each fundamentally flawed fractally in their Ponzi capitalism, there are super-systemic fractals that might just be worthy of closer inspection.
And not just by climate change scientists either...
Fractals are the most worrying aspect of the whole array of worrying factors that make up the subject of climate change.
If fractals can do 10 to the power of 50 with financial markets when destabilisation takes hold, imagine what fractals could achieve in an eco-system that is no longer in a sustainable equilibrium state!
Mandelbrot: "The two poles of human experience - deterministic systems of order and planning and the stochastic or random systems of irregularity and unpredictability."
The latter of these poles dominate the analysis today both in financial markets and in climate change.
Better frame the argument around the issue of bankers and their bonuses then...
Jean Baudrillard: "These systems, even when they are based on radical indeterminacy (the loss of meanings), fall prey, once more, to meaning. They collapse under the weight of their own monstrosity."
Andrew Haldane describes the inability to judge risk as "disaster myopia" - a lack of awareness of the network externalities in combination with misaligned incentives.
But this is merely the first layer of "disaster myopia".
The feedback loops, the fractals, the super-systemic risk, the quantuming between different equilibrium states would combine in a second layer - more "catastrophe myopia" really...
If free market snake-oil salespeople included the primary and secondary levels of externality in their pricing system, the entire edifice comes crumbling down under the weight of its own "monstrosity", a monstrosity based on inconsequence of intellectual input to the issue at hand.
There is no growth once externalities are built into the equation.
Once one takes the holistics into account, the trickledown effect, already entirely illusory, becomes, instead, a Cinderella-fantastic fairy tale of a neohyperreality.
There is no such entity as a sustainable Ponzi scheme.
And the weight of monstrosity is the gravity.
Every free market capitalist infrastructure is Pure Ponzi - from Albanian peasants to credit default swaps.
And, because the people who have been receiving excessive bonuses for the last quarter of a century made the selfish decisions that they did, even to the detriment of their own lines of offspring (psychopathy again), we are now in what Sun Tzu might have called the Worst Variety of Ground.
The fractals yet to be unleashed, the toxicity still to surface, the mass delusions and engendered mass psychologies yet to spiral out of rationality, will all come to fruition against the backdrop of a super-systemic lack of stable equilibrium.
So, a 'system' that produces negative growth if the externalities are included, produces this deficiency of utility on a foundation that spontaneously combusts repeatedly and fractally due to historical indiscretions.
These foundational externalities have been magnified by the Greed of the Great and the Good of the last centennial quartile.
They tell us that tax doesn't have to be taxing which, in self-application, would suggest that the Great and the Good would be more than willing to return all of their ill-gotten gains so that we all might start to implement a sustainable strategy that just might provide us with the remote feasibility of halting man-made climatic change.
Free market sorts, when still willing to defend their myths, frame their discussions around new regulation and innovation and growth and other words that have no directly Real meanings in our lives.
Free market sorts are enacting massive systemic ructions on the global financial architecture without any methodology or strategy whatsoever.
Big Butterflies produce Huge Hurricanes.
But their big thinking always stops short of being out-of-the-box; big ideas exist within the walled gardens of their illusory system.
We don't need tinkering.
We need deconstruction, thank you very much.
And sustainable negative growth, economic contraction, stopping breeding, the promotion of instincts for freedom, those sort of things...
But, in the meantime, to keep your pecker up, why not wander out into the spring sunshine and anarcho-happy-slap a banker today...

The Premier League's 'Fit-And-Proper-Persons-Test' is a primary example of Jean Baudrillard's phase of the image template.
The new wave of owners are not fit, they are improper, the 'persons' are more likely to be shell operations covering up for something altogether more seedy, and, most importantly of all, there is no test.
It should be noted how rarely Our Great Leader pops his head up to shed light on these concerns.
As it is Manchester, and it is pissing down, let's do a swift rain check.
Today Birmingham City will finally be taken over by... well, nobody knows actually, because there is an ongoing sale of shares in the ownership company which will not be completed for another fortnight.
Consequently, the Premier League are waving through the takeover without knowing whether the owners are fit and proper, or bookmakers.
As Carston Yeung made his money in casinos in Macau, our bet would be the latter.
And The Munsters have got their latest owner, their third dodgy deal and the season is only eight games old.
After the illegal arms dealer had sold out to Sulaiman 77 and his coterie of Ponzi schemes (we told you at the time to clock that image of Al-Fahim at his first match in charge of Pompey), today Al-Fahim will complete the sale of 90% of Portsmouth to another Middle East consortium of opaque ownership.
Peter Storrie, the Portsmouth chief executive, who has just been questioned again over the Pompey Three Affair, will retain his post and his twenty five grand per week.
And who knows? The wages of the staff might be paid too.
Now none of the above owners are legitimate in that their takeovers have not been subjected to the FPPT.
The whole world and his cat understood that it was Arkadi and not his idiot offspring who owned Portsmouth and yet ScudamoreWorld did nothing about it.
Why wasn't Al-Fahim rumbled earlier?
Who has Storrie stitched up a deal with?
The fans need to know.
The Pompey Three are being questioned over serious charges of fraud and money laundering after all.
And as for waving through the Birmingham deal before ownership is known...
Of course, this is the problem of running a free market league.
When the shit hits the fan (in all manners of meaning), the financial saviours are likely to be from the murkier end of the spectrum.
If arms dealers, former drug dealers, baby boilers, private equity myopics, bookmakers, oligarchs, Ponzi capitalists, casino owners, sovereign wealth funds and criminalised heads of state are not able to save the unstable model of ScudamoreWorld, there is nobody else to step in.
Remember that it was Our Great Leader's rottweiler, Sir Richards, who informed rogue manager Sven Goran Eriksson that Shinawatra was "absolutely clean."
And those of us that used to take solace in the fact that the Football League, at least, was still fairly legit have come to alter our perspective.
The Premier League distorts the FA and the Football League to it's own competitive advantage.
Betting scandals?
Only happen in matches between Accrington Stanley and Bury, mate.
Yet our primary Asian broker now reckons that nigh on 100% of Premier League matches are entirely bent.
We agree with him.
Being rotten to the core, ScudamoreWorld also extends further down the hierarchy of English football, and the issue of illicit or, at least, potentially illicit ownership is now a generality across the lower leagues.
Flavio Briatore, the man who arranged for the Formula One crash to alter the race outcome, is obviously not a fit and proper person to control Queens Park Rangers.
If you are going to sell a race outcome, you're going to sell a football match outcome too.
Leeds United sit on top of the third tier of English football which, for marketing reasons, is called League Alpha Platinum Plus or something or other, and nobody knows who their Real owners are, and nobody has done for the last four years.
Brighton are now owned by Tony Bloom, who made his money trading on the underground betting markets in the Far East.
Notts County are owned by almost every businessman who has ever passed through the British criminal justice system.
There are numerous other clubs who have been abused for proprietary gain, infected with non-strategic and non-sustainable financial plans, who hover on the verge of administration or, equally frequently, topple over into it, and who are punished for bringing shame on the game with points reductions that merely increase the likelihood of total collapse.
The Premier League does not employ trickle down economics with regard to the Football League.
Rather it is like a Wrecking Ball, swinging in an elliptical and tilted orbit, a bit like Pluto, bringing destruction as it mashes through the lower tiers of the league.
And meanwhile the Premier League roster of ownership is typical of any nation that bases success on the fake hierarchies of masonic disorder.
And as the Murdochracy exports it's brand of betting to other European countries, the same structural deficiencies are already coming to light there.
Launching expansionist projects in the midst of the worst Depression since the Thirties is a perilous strategy.
So, in Italy, for example, where the Murdochracy has most influence after England, Bari are about to be taken over by American money while it looks like Berlusconi is on the way out of Milan (see future post for the nonsense in Serie A).
And Ponzi turns out to be the key word in all this...
A Ponzi scheme is one which cannot be sustained, as the pyramid extends downwards, there comes a time where the financial structure collapses under the weight of it's lack of economic robustness.
As the whole of the capitalist system might be seen as a Ponzi scheme, it should come as little surprise that the ScudamoreWorld model is not sustainable.
Prior to the onset of the European Super League, we are going to see a trail of destruction as teams enter administration, are demoted, go belly up, before reforming as proper bottom up sporting clubs, which is what they were in the first place before the bookmakers took over.
There will, however, be an 'elite' collection of outfits that will remain viable due to the murkiness of their ownership.
The slimmed down ScudamoreWorld and Football League will be a Ponzi scheme backed by, at best grey market and, at worst, black market money.
From porn barons to betting barons, what have Birmingham City done to deserve this?

War And Peace And Betting #
This post, which is for subscribers only, examines the massive potential for corruption in the conclusion to World Cup European Qualifying Group 4, where Germany and Russia are separated by just one point.
FIFA has established a template seemingly primed for corruption.
We also look at the FIFA biases exhibited in the Play-Off's to ensure that certain countries are guaranteed a place at the finals in South Africa, after Blatter performed a u-turn on seeding.
We additionally explore who Really decides what happens at these showcase events.
And we finish by casting an eye over the possibility of a rigged match between Ukraine and England, and the equal likelihood that the match will be unwatchable online due to corporate greed or technological deficiencies or something like that.

Harry Redknapp To Co-Host Britain's Got The Pop Factor And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice #
Sources have been informing our trading team that Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp, is leaving the club after the match against Bolton Wanderers this afternoon.
Contrary to the rampant rumours circulating yesterday, Redknapp will not be returning to former club Portsmouth as there would likely be a lynching for the Fake Freeperson of the City.
Instead, Redknapp will be co-hosting the latest Hyperreality Extravaganza with Barbara Windsor (if she's still alive, if not make up your own co-host, it's not like it's Real or anything).
This post examines Friday's fake gamble plastered across the equally fake mainstream media regarding a potential Redknapp resignation.
These supplementary revenue streams are utilised once or twice per season.

Only Commies Corrupt Soccer, Claims Capitalism #
Last week UEFA announced that the number of early round European matches under suspicion of match fixing had risen to forty games, but that, almost exclusively, these events featured teams from eastern Europe.
Well, the UEFA roster may well only feature such matches but Football Is Fixed can reveal that TWO of the Champions League representatives from England have also been involved in a little insider trading over the first two rounds of this years' Champions League.
One team from London and one from the North West have been affected by this illicit behaviour according to our primary broker in the Far East.
This post, which is for subscribers only, describes the template utilised by the insider traders at the two English clubs to profit from rigged matches.
