Wassermafia

Originally Published February 20th 2024 for For Green Fields clients

The great thing about pushing John Colquhoun's buttons is that he kneejerks the same responses...
... again and again and again and again.

The targeting of Manchester City takes on a number of forms and doesn't just involve the man's control of the selection of referees under his control and their performativity to hidden interests on the field of play..

So, Man City loanee Kalvin Philips has totally undermined West Ham United since arrival with a third minute error gifting Bournemouth a goal that cost West Ham two points before getting red carded at Nottingham Forest just as the Hammers were threatening to score an equaliser.
The double whammy is simplistic, revealing and targeted in that it helps in organised crime's attempts to rid West Ham of current owners and manager David Moyes while devaluing a Man City asset to boot.

Or take last night's key La Liga game between Athletic Bilbao and Girona.
Early in the second half the Catalunyans had just equalised when Wasserman client Gutierrez gifted the Basques a goal that ended up being the difference between the two sides.
Girona, of course, are part of the City Group and Colquhoun was smirking all the way to the cesspit.

Gutierrez was playing left back as were Robinson of Fulham and Bell of Luton in their respective matches against Aston Villa and Manchester United last weekend.

Fulham had just had a goal disallowed and were the superior team when Robinson took a throw in at a crazy trajectory directly to Olly Watkins who slammed the ball home. Robinson should have been given the assist.
Robinson is represented by Wasserman.

After forty seconds of the Luton v Man United match, Bell not only under hit a back pass but turned his misdemeanour into a perfect through ball allowing Hojlund to score.
Bell is represented by Wasserman.

Villa and United both won by one goal margins.

The corruption's a good 'un.

In a parallel universe, rogue referee Jarred Gillett presented Arteta (Wasserman) and Arsenal with an unjust penalty to put Burnley to bed before failing to send off Casemiro for a blatant red card in United's win at Kenilworth Road.

Our Newsletters are received by market makers and bookmakers, club owners, police and other institutional bodies amongst others and these attempts by Colquhoun at showing how tough and untouchable he is are beyond short-sighted.

They are myopic and idiotic.

For Green Fields Messi and Maradona clients were given intercepts regarding the Luton Town game before the match began. It is fair to say that these individuals and entities at the top of the global game absolutely see Colquhoun for what he is - a rancid fixer of sporting events who trades the corruption for financial benefit.

During Match of the Day on Saturday, not one of the red card inducing offences committed by Caicedo in the first half for Chelsea versus Manchester City were shown on the programme.
The Liverpool supporting VAR Official Peter Bankes also failed to initiate a VAR review of two potential Manchester City penalties while Jamie Carragher commentated through scouse-tinted glasses live on Sky Sports.
Carragher is represented by Wasserman.

The five Liverpool supporting referees have, mysteriously, given 88% of key match decisions against Manchester City when involved as referee or VAR on City games.
88%!

Sorry to bring my history into what would otherwise be an excellent Newsletter but, when undertaking my Ph.D, my primary tutor Professor Neville Topham told me how he was employed to provide high level consultancies in industry.
Being a Professor of Economics and a member of the Institute of Directors, he was employed to provide industry-led accounts of reality.

So.

Topham described to me how, in one high level consultancy, he 'proved' that house prices don't suffer under the flight paths at Heathrow Airport.
I questioned how he could prove such a nonsense and he retorted that you can show anything you want in the twisted mathematics of econometrics!

It was also Prof Topham who advised me to focus on the inputs of referees in football!

David Orrell: "As economist Barry Eichengreen noted in 2009, in academic economics there is 'a subconscious tendency to embrace the arguments of one's more "successful" colleagues in a discipline where money, in this case earned through speaking engagements and consultancies, is the common denominator of success".

Charles Ferguson: "These days, if you see a famous economics professor testify in Congress, or write an article, there is a good chance he or she is being paid by someone with a big stake in what's being debated. Most of the time, these professors do not disclose these conflicts of interest, and most of the time the universities look the other way".

Alan Jay Levinovitz: "Every economist I interviewed agreed that conflicts of interest were highly problematical for the scientific integrity of their field".

Football Is Fixed: "In football there is a subconscious tendency to embrace the opinions of the former footballers serving as pundits. When you see a former footballer on BBC or Sky or TNT / BT Sport, there is a good chance that he or she is being paid by someone with a big stake in the sport and in the betting markets. Conflicts of interest are highly problematical for the sporting integrity of the game".

Carragher chats shit and spits spit.

Mafia Templates

Originally Published February 16th 2024 for For Green Fields clients

This is the Newsletter that Football Is Fixed shared with For Green Fields Pele clients prior to last weekend's Premier League games.
Messi & Maradona clients were provided with the correct outcomes on all six of the events that we 'solved' pre-match.

Football is fixed.
Football is fucked.

Brentford v Liverpool

With the League Cup Final next weekend and a midweek Premier League game levered in between, the organised crime group that control the selection of match officials are taking no risks with this event - Michael Oliverpool on Black Whistle and David Coote in Stockley Park.

The two other key inputs are the insider trading from TNT / BT Sports and the insider trading from Matthew Benham (the Brentford owner).

The outcome will be in the match by kick off.

Burnley v Arsenal

Mafia entirely in control of this match which sees Jarred Gillett as referee.

The doping at Arsenal has been extensive this season and yet still they are unable to break clear at the top of the table.

Arsenal will have one eye on their forthcoming Champions League 1/16 match in Porto but the key input to the outcome is the Gillett template.

Not a valid game of football.

Fulham v Aston Villa

Once again the same underground markets ruining the game above will be in operation at Craven Cottage.

But there is an entirely new EPL referee in Lewis Smith.

Every new PGMOL official in recent times has proved to be a dodgy promotion linked to the sort of things that match officials shouldn't be linked to and it would only be the most optimistic optimist who would expect anything different here.

One of our Network works alongside the FIGC in Italy and has shared with us the extensive work being undertaken to eradicate matchfixing in the country.

There are no double (or treble) appointments of match officials in any round of matches.
Only two referees have been selected for on-field duties more than 10 occasions while the number in the EPL is 13 with Anthony Taylor getting eighteen on-field earners this season.
Once you add in the VAR appointments, it becomes painfully clear how the small number of 'elite' officials in the Premier League are a primary source of the lack of integrity in the league.

The abstract of a consultancy document under preparation for the FIGC is available from Saturday morning for Messi and Maradona clients at Canberra 3.0.

Newcastle United v Bournemouth

A trappy affair under Colquhoun's control with Salisbury refereeing.

Messi and Maradona clients can read intercepts of shenanigans from an array of recent games which have relevance at St James's Park tomorrow.

A thug event.

Nottingham Forest v West Ham United

Two managers who Colquhoun is attempting to undermine with Moyes looking particularly exposed to a mainstream media / organised crime generated sacking.

Colquhoun climbs on the back of people above him in the game before stabbing them in that very same back once he climbs to the next strata of the criminal pyramid or ceases to find a use for those in his inner core. He has loyalty to nobody and nothing other than his own psychopathy.

The underground markets know the outcome to this event.

Tottenham v Wolves

Whereas Michael Oliver magically stopped monetisation of his officiating following disclosures by the Football Is Fixed Network, the other allegedly top official, Anthony Taylor, doesn't give a fuck as he believes that he is untouchable.

Taylor's officiating has been disastrous for integrity for two seasons now and, in his last two games, he has ruined Arsenal v Liverpool and Forest v Newcastle.

Taylor is the only input in this event unless Spurs decide to go down the hypodermic route, as is Postecoglou's wont.

Manchester City v Chelsea

The criminals are laughing all the way to the Bankes with equivalent corruption control to other events this weekend.

Andy Madley is on black whistle too.

Yikes!

Chelsea, though, are very focused on the League Cup Final next weekend and City currently look unstoppable.

A fake feint by organised crime or a matchfixing event?
We will know by kick off.

Sheffield United v Brighton

Wasserman's Wilder is an unpleasant operative and this is a rancid event with Oliver in Stockley Park, Bloom in the underground, Sheffield United insider trading and Sky Bet betting in the dark pools too.

Messi and Maradona clients should check the original server in Kerkyra for transcripts over both the selection of an English refereeing team for UEFA Conference League match last Thursday between Royal Union St Gilloise and Eintracht Frankfurt and the manipulations perpetrated thereafter.

Colquhoun's targeting of Bloom knows no bounds.

Luton v Man Utd

A boiler room scam of an event with Coote refereeing and Gillett in Stockley Park.

A ludicrous amount of insider trading is to be expected at Kenilworth Road as two criminalised entities go head to head with captured officials and rogue media.

Crapball.

Everton v Palace

Another Colquhoun event and it now seems that he is finished enslaving Hodgson to do his dirty work - just let the old man retire.

Hodgson of course has been sacked although the media would have it that he elected to stand down. Right.
It is a bit like how The Onion ridicules reality with headlines like: "15,000 people in the first quarter of their lifespan have died through stuff happening in Gaza".

Let's hope that Hodgson's health scare is just a media spectacle.

Despite the morbid background, the Palace and Sky Sports elite are active in the markets.

Sweet.

Free Assange - It Is Not A Crime For A Journalist To Expose US War Crimes

On February 20th and 21st, the final attempt to prevent the US / UK from extraditing publisher and journalist Julian Assange will be heard at the High Court in London.

Given how western 'democracy' has dealt with the genocide in Gaza, it is critical to raise funds and awareness in support of this incredibly brave man.

The US and UK war criminals exposed by Assange and WikiLeaks walk free with their wealth while the journalist who revealed such crimes is in a maximum security jail at Belmarsh while two terror states collude over his extradition.

Please visit Stella Assange and discover ways that you can help prevent this crime against a free press. This is a defining moment for investigative journalism.

Below is Chapter 15 '... Death, Crime' from Book One of our Trilogy where we outline the abusive and unjust treatment of Julian Assange.

Most of my Network will be outside or inside the High Court or at one of the many protests against extradition that are taking place across the world for the two days of the hearing.

Help prevent this grave miscarriage of justice.

Thank you

Addendum

Following the murder of Alexei Navalny by Putin just four days before Julian Assange's High Court hearing, the British mainstream media fall over themselves in their righteous indignation of a senseless death of a man who had committed no crime.

Meanwhile, Britain's very own political prisoner has rotted in a dungeon at Belmarsh for nearly five years despite not having been convicted of any crime and awaits a lifelong penitentiary in the US after a court hearing that media are being denied access to.

Britain is establishing a secret kangaroo court to dispatch Assange to a gulag.
Sounds familiar?

A dissident of a so-called democracy.

What rank hypocrisy...
... Free Assange.
_________________________________________________________________________________ 

Death
Maria 'Masha' Alyokhina (transcript from the Pussy Riot court appeal): "This trial is typical and speaks volumes. The government will feel embarrassment because of it for a long time to come. Each stage has embodied a travesty of justice. As it turned out, our performance - a small and somewhat absurd act - snowballed into an enormous catastrophe. This trial wears a grotesque mask. It is the face that the government wears when speaking to the people. To the prosecutors, our apologies, our "so-called" apologies. This insults me and causes me moral pain. Our apologies are sincere. So many words have been uttered and you still haven't understood. You're being devious when you don't accept them. What else do you need to hear? For me, this trial is a "so-called" trial. I am not afraid of you. I am not afraid of falsehood, of poorly disguised deception, or of the verdict of this "so-called" court. You can only deprive me of my "so-called" freedom. Nobody can take my inner freedom. It lives in the word. It will go on living because of glasnost and, when this is heard by thousands, this freedom lives in every person who is not indifferent and inside those who hear us in this country. For every person who recognises a piece of themselves on trial, as in the words of Franz Kafka and Guy de Bord, I believe that honesty and openness, the thirst for truth, will make us all a bit more free. We will see this"

Mash it up, Masha!

Bertolt Brecht: "Art is not a mirror to reflect the world, but a hammer with which to shape it."

The Economist: "The Kremlin may want Alexei Navalny to die in prison."

Yanis Varoufakis on Julian Assange's arbitrary detention in Belmarsh Prison: "Let's be clear. The reason why he's there is, I think, best expressed by Mike Pompeo... He described WikiLeaks as a non-state hostile intelligence service. And, you know what, he's exactly right, that's what WikiLeaks is - it's a non-state hostile intelligence service, precisely that which every newspaper, every radio station, every television station ought to be but is not. This is what the BBC should be. This is what great newspapers should be - a non-state hostile intelligence service. But they are not and the reason why he's in there is because they are trying to kill him. It's really very simple."

Angela Richter: "I've been thinking about the differences between the Eastern European dissidents of the Cold War era and the Western dissidents today. It became clear to me that the Western dissidents - or let's call them 'digital dissidents' - like Assange and Snowden, but also Jeremy Hammond and Barrett Brown - are not even described as dissidents in the mainstream. Because to admit that we, in the supposedly 'free' West, have political prisoners, imprisoned for simply telling the truth, would be a threat to the very idea we have of ourselves as the 'free world'. It is striking that the story of Aaron Swartz only became known to a wider public after his tragic death."

Kim Dot Com: "Support a free press? Release Julian Assange you press freedom oppressing hypocrites. How dare you speak about press freedom while a journalist who reported US war crimes is your political prisoner."

Toussaint Louverture: "Freedom is a right given by Nature."

The language of power undermines the challenging of power structures and our fake media are more interested in the method of detection of truth than in the truth so sourced.

Julian Assange: "Noam Chomsky in 'The Common Good' wrote that 'the smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion but to allow a very lively debate within a narrow section of that spectrum'. We live in a Mediaocracy - what is politically possible is defined by the media environment. I started WikiLeaks because I understood this reality, the media frame defines the political possibility. So to bring about political change we have to enlarge the media frame. With WikiLeaks we've had significant successes in achieving this in some areas, but more needs to be done. The single greatest contributor to our expanding horizons is you. You telling your friends what's up, what you saw, what you believe, and who's full of it. Contrasting what appears in the Australian press to itself and to the world. You form part of the largest bullshit detecting machine the world has ever seen. That's why WikiLeaks has such support from people exposed to the internet. That's why we have such support from this generation because you're better informed. This is the best educated generation in the history of the world."

As we catalogue what neo-liberalism is doing to football, we shouldn't ignore the far more important impact that this system-based-on-corruption-and-Schurkenstaat is having on critical investigative journalism. As the Courage Foundation warned in July 2019: "Journalists in Britain are being threatened with the Official Secrets Act", a development they term the 'Assange precedent'. At the same time Jen Robinson of WikiLeaks voices concerns over the effective criminalisation of journalistic practices.

And the mainstream media bifurcates reality to suit hidden agendas of power.
So we have Jamal Khashoggi, Editor-in-Chief of Al-Arab News, Time Magazine Person Of The Year in 2018, whose mission was to expose injustice via a free press, being persecuted by the US government for journalism and self-exiled only to be murdered by the Saudi government in less than a day.
While Julian Assange, Editor-in-Chief of WikiLeaks, Time Magazine Person of the Year in 2010, whose mission was to expose injustice via a free press, is being persecuted by the US and UK governments for journalism, and continues to be slowly murdered by those governments for over more than a decade.

Paul Caruana Galizia linked corporate, political and state worlds together in a tweet: "Vomit-inducing photo of Lex Greensill and his lobbyist David Cameron in Mohammed bin Salman's tent, a year after the crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi's murder."

Simon Busuttil: "When power fuses with criminality, you have a mafia state."

Or rather a spy state that utilises mafia as part of its military strategy - Five Eyes are better than two after all, which is presumably how the British Labour Party came to be led by party-harmer Keir Starmer, a member of the Trilateral Commission - a neo-liberal body founded by bankers whose primary aim is to replace the nation state with something altogether more Davos.

Meanwhile, according to the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, the murderer of journalist Jan Kuciak, Marian Kocner, paid one judge at least £150,000 to issue favourable rulings. He even gave the judge USB sticks containing the reasoning he should use to justify them.

Self-censorship is the norm, the only variable being the degree to which you redact or secrete or archive your output. Or the division you elect to make between the area of one's book that is based on fact and the other hybrid region of the publication relating to fiction-based-on-fact.
So-called fact.
We live, as Derrida would have it "... always on the edge of an impossible confidence" while remaining a happy-go-lucky ray of fucking sunshine...

The Grugq: "It was essential that none of you recognise me... so I cut off my face."

The universal is nobler and higher in rank than the particular but, when veiled, what is to be made of this hidden holistic?
So.
Although we know nothing, we know something of the nothing, and we share something of this something of the nothing, to isolationist thresholds.

Like the immense Coletivo Papa Reto, use strategy, bespoke code and networks, direct action and, wherever feasible, immersive investigative journalism.

A senior reporter at RTV-SLO in Slovenia states: "Only a few of us left are still being critical, but we're being silenced."

As the Collectiv cover up in Romania showed, the mainstream media is complicit in state and corporate crime - the needless deaths of many young Romanians was only exposed as malicious by the investigations by sports journalists at the Sports Gazette (Gazeta Sporturilor).
Alexander Nanau: "Being a citizen of a democratic country carries a responsibility that cannot be totally passed on to rightfully elected politicians. The power belongs to the people, to every single one of the people - and with it, the responsibility."

Stuxnet changed everything for everyone everywhere.
The Nitro Zeus malware used to infect Iran's nuclear infrastructure in Operation Olympic Games had its maliciousness disclosed after malicious forces in Israeli Unit 8200x maliciously acted maliciously disobeying their paymasters in the doing.
Now.
Current international law is that "you do whatever you can get away with".

The NSA was allegedly established for code-making and code-breaking but it is located in the same building as Cyber Command and is acquainted with the roles required to develop code for offensive operations e.g. Stuxnet.

Alice Walker: "Imagine it: Years from now people will say: Oh, if only I had known what we were losing when they abused this decent and courageous man [Assange]!"

Geoffrey Robertson: "American pride had been hurt by a pesky Australian, so they targeted him by grand jury proceedings and the military took out its anger on young Chelsea Manning, treating her abominably in prison until Hillary Clinton's press spokesman, P.J. Crowley, resigned in protest. Manning had been kept for eight months in solitary confinement, naked and without blanket or pillow, awoken every few minutes for a pretended 'suicide watch'. Her prosecutors hoped she would confess to being 'groomed' by Assange, and at one point, according to her lawyer, threatened her with the death penalty if she did not. Then came the CIA pressure on Paypal, Mastercard, and Visa, to which they succumbed, to stop receiving donations for WikiLeaks or Assange. (You can still buy Nazi uniforms and Ku Klux Klan outfits with your Visa card but you can't donate to WikiLeaks.) On what basis was Assange demonised? There is no doubt that the cables were of manifest public interest, revealing many examples of human rights violations and political corruption that American diplomats (with their CIA sources) were well aware of, but which had not been made public."

Micah Lee and Glenn Greenwald have explained in the Intercept that the things Assange is accused of doing are things journalists do all the time: attempting to help a source avoid detection, taking steps to try and hide their communications and encouraging sources to provide more material.

Sarah Harrison: "When you see news that you are directly involved in, it's shocking to see how the facts of the matter are not presented correctly; it's spun, and sometimes even outright lies are used."

Kellie Tranter: "The Assange petition calling for [Australian] government action is the largest ever tabled in the Australian parliament yet he remains incarcerated in intolerable conditions... Make no mistake our government is in a position to act in the Assange case and is making a choice not to act."

Sarah Harrison: "The public is actively encouraged to commend journalists for telling them less, for keeping information from them... We clearly can't rely on states to protect us; we need to create tools that will help us to protect ourselves."

Renata Avila: "It was very interesting to see you [Sarah Harrison] locked in one place with Snowden, while Julian was trapped in the Ecuadorean Embassy at the same time. And because of modern technology there was this interaction between these two isolated places. It was impressive to see that with the right tools, people can continue to have a powerful effect even under such conditions in what are, perhaps, the two most surveilled countries in the world - the UK and Russia. Seeing the possibilities for continuing to effect change under such conditions has quite a powerful demonstration effect in my opinion."

Antifa: "We are not passive, we are not civil, and we will not apologise."

One might even be tempted to agree with Grazhdanskaya Oberona: "Kill the state within yourself. Our truth, our faith, our deed is anarchy."

Martin Luther King: "In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

George Orwell (1984): "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

I Carried My Dancing Shoes In My Gas Mask Case

Friedrich Nietzsche in 'Beyond Good And Evil': "Ultimately 'love of one's neighbour' is always something secondary, in part conventional and arbitrarily illusory, when compared with fear of one's neighbour. Once the structure of society seems to have been in general fixed and made safe from external dangers, it is this fear of one's neighbour which again creates new perspectives of moral valuation. There are certain strong and dangerous drives, such as enterprisingness, foolhardiness, revengefulness, craft, rapacity, ambition, which hitherto had not only to be honoured from the point of view of their social utility - under different names, naturally, from those chosen here - but also mightily developed and cultivated (because they were constantly needed to protect the community as a whole against the enemies of the community as a whole); these drives are now felt to be doubly dangerous - now that the diversionary outlets for them are lacking - and are gradually branded as immoral and given over to calumny. The antithetical drives and inclinations now come into moral honour; step by step the herd instinct draws its conclusions. How much or how little that is dangerous to the community, dangerous to equality, resides in an opinion, in a condition or emotion, in a will, in a talent, that is now the moral perspective: here again fear is the mother of morality. When the highest and strongest drives, breaking passionately out, carry the individual far above and beyond the average and lowlands of the herd conscience, the self-confidence of the community goes to pieces, its faith in itself, its spine as it were, is broken: consequently it is precisely these drives which are most branded and calumniated. Lofty spiritual independence, the will to stand alone, great intelligence even, are felt to be dangerous; everything that raises the individual above the herd and makes his neighbour quail is henceforth called evil; the fair, modest, obedient, self-effacing disposition, the mean and average in desires, acquires moral names and honours. Eventually, under very peaceful conditions, there is less and less occasion or need to educate one's feelings in severity and sternness; and now every kind of severity, even severity in justice, begins to trouble the conscience; a stern and lofty nobility and self-responsibility is received almost as an offence and awakens mistrust... 'we wish that there will one day no longer be anything to fear!'"

Mint Press News: "Assange’s 'crime' was revealing deep, embarrassing, sometimes deadly, malfeasance by numerous actors, including the U.S. government, the media, the Democratic Party Clinton machine, and Israel."

Alfred de Zayas: "The US extradition request to the UK must be denied. Assange is a journalist who has done his work as a journalist. The extradition request contravenes the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights."

Jen Robinson believes that the raids against investigative journalists "... are about intimidating journalists and media organisations because of their truth-telling. They are about more than hunting down whistleblowers."

Afshin Rattansi: "No matter how the British, US, Australian, Swedish & Ecuadorian governments torture Julian Assange of WikiLeaks, people all around the world will never be able to "un-see" what he revealed of the barbarity of NATO-nation war crimes."

Caitlin Johnstone: "Isn’t it interesting how an Ecuadorian 'asylum conditions' technicality, a UK bail technicality, and a US whistleblowing technicality all just so happened to converge in a way that just so happens to look exactly the same as imprisoning a journalist for telling the truth?"

Nathaniel St Clair: "Imagine Tony Blair dragged from his multi-million pound Georgian home in Connaught Square, London, in handcuffs. By the standard of Nuremberg, Blair’s “paramount crime” is the deaths of a million Iraqis. Assange’s crime is journalism."

Oliver Stone: "Julian Assange is a publisher for truth. He’s done great work on behalf of mankind despite his inhumane treatment. This case is crucial to the survival of our right to know and our essential freedom against USA and UK oppression -- and now tyranny!"

Rania Khalek: "One reason corporate journalists and star pundits care so little about the danger prosecuting Assange poses to journalism is that none of them engage in actual journalism. They are stenographers who know they won’t ever be targeted by the state because they mostly serve its interests."

Media Lens: "Where is the outrage at the lies we have been served up for these past seven years? Where is the contrition at having been gulled for so long? Where is the fury at the most basic press freedom – the right to publish – being trashed?"

John Pilger: "The Vichy journalists of the mainstream media have finally taken fright that the monstrous US charges against Julian Assange are now a threat to them. Yet the cowards at the New York Times, the Guardian etc continue to smear this heroic man who shamed them by refusing to join their gatekeepers' club."

DIEM25: ""The whole idea behind WikiLeaks is to take the same technologies that allow the NSA, Google etc, to turn you into a source of data, and turn it against them to make you more opaque and them more transparent. This is why he's paying a price."

Thomas Drake states that what Assange “is accused of doing is exactly what professional journalists do every day - seeking, receiving and publishing important information."

Zerohedge: "How many times must Assange be proven right before people start listening?"

Stefania Maurizi: "I want to live in a society in which you can expose war crimes and mass surveillance without spending 7 years in jail as Chelsea Manning did, without being arbitrarily detained for 11 years as Julian Assange is, without being forced to escape to Russia as Ed Snowden did."

Mark Curtis: "Assange sentence raises serious issues. It dismisses the UN determination on arbitrary detention as 'not binding on this court' and containing 'misconceptions'. If UK judiciary has been captured by the state, that is the very definition of authoritarianism."

Sarah Abdallah: "Julian Assange exposes Hillary Clinton’s role in arming head-chopping Al-Qaeda jihadists both in Libya and Syria and faces up to 170 years in prison on 17 charges. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton roams free, does media, gets book deals and receives never-ending celebrity treatment."

Yanis Varoufakis: "Dan Ellsberg, the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, thus turning public opinion against the US government's criminal pursuit of the Vietnam War, is now telling us: Julian Assange is his modern day equivalent."

The New Yorker: "The charges against Julian Assange are an attack on the freedom of the press and on whistleblowers who hold powerful institutions - including the U.S. government - to account."

Ali Abunimah: "Assange, WikiLeaks and Chelsea Manning did incalculable service, especially for oppressed peoples, by revealing US crimes and intrigues. They’re paying price for doing the job US regime journalists refuse to do. If you value press freedom as more than a slogan you must stand with them."

Hanna Jonasson: "Is [editor] Kath Viner comfortable that Guardian fake news about Assange is used to justify extradition? By failing to retract, Viner digs herself deeper into a bottomless hole."

The ACLU: "For the first time in the history of our country, the government has brought criminal charges under the Espionage Act against a publisher for the publication of truthful information. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment."

Renata Avila: "So the plan was always to first destroy Julian Assange's name, and turn his support base, progressives, against him, to then smoothly prosecute him for the crime of publishing the truth. Do it as slowly as possible, so people will forget the importance of WikiLeaks revelations."

Mark Daly: "You may not like Assange, but journalism and the right to report in the public interest are in the cross hairs here. Whistleblowers already risk much - to lob in Espionage Act or similar? It's an alarming lurch against freedom of expression which not only journalists should fear."

Glenn Greenwald: "There is so much driving the hatred many journalists harbor for Assange. But a huge part of it is professional jealousy: WikiLeaks broke more massive stories than most of these reporters will ever get close to in their lives, all without joining their insular journalism club."

James Goodale (the Pentagon Papers lawyer) says Julian Assange is being indicted "for publishing and gathering the news." He calls the charges "absolutely novel," adding that if the Justice Department finds Assange guilty, they will have "criminalised the news gathering process."

The Tribune: "Julian Assange remains incarcerated in a high-security prison for revealing the truth about wartime atrocities, despite never being convicted of a crime - his case makes a mockery of claims about press freedom."

John Pilger: "Matt Kennard's expose of the Guardian's collusion with Britain's Deep State is real journalism. A veneer of often facile gender promotion is not nearly enough to suppress the truth of a determined assault on democracy from within."

Yanis Varoufakis: "An atrocity against your right to know is unfolding. Julian Assange is about to be thrown into the US supermax gulag. Years of fake news is now whittled down to a simple act of revenge against the person who embarrassed our states by exposing to us crimes committed in our name."

Centre for Investigative Journalism: "WikiLeaks is a publisher. Charges now brought in connection with its material, or any attempt to extradite Assange to the United States for prosecution under the deeply flawed cudgel of the Espionage Act 1917, is an attack on all of us."

Julian Assange: ""I do not wish to surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism that has won many awards and protected many people."

WikiLeaks: "A democracy that imprisons publishers is not a democracy."

The Navajo, Edelweiss Pirates And Roving Dudes
The Guardian's Direct Collusion With Media Censorship By Secret Services - Thomas Scripps:
Minutes of Ministry of Defence (MoD) meetings have confirmed the role of Britain’s Guardian newspaper as a mouthpiece for the intelligence agencies.
Last week, independent journalist Matt Kennard revealed that the paper’s deputy editor, Paul Johnson, was personally thanked by the Defence and Security Media Advisory Notice (or D-Notice) committee for integrating the Guardian into the operations of the security services.
Minutes of a meeting in 2018 read: “The Chairman thanked Paul Johnson for his service to the Committee. Paul had joined the Committee in the wake of the Snowden affair and had been instrumental in re-establishing links with the Guardian.”
D-Notices are used by the British state to veto the publication of news damaging to its interests. The slavish collusion of the mainstream media ensures that such notices function as gag orders.
Johnson joined the committee in 2014 and evidently excelled in his performance. A separate set of minutes from the first meeting attended by Johnson records the Guardian’s close collaboration with military officials.
Under a section detailing “advice” given by the intelligence agencies to the media, the document reads “most of the occurrences and requests for advice were related to further publications by The Guardian of extracts from the Snowden documents. The Secretary reported that the engagement of DPBAC [Defence Press and Broadcasting Advisory Committee] Secretariat with The Guardian had continued to strengthen during the last six months, with regular dialogues between the Secretary and Deputy Secretaries and Guardian journalists.”
The secretary and deputy secretaries were Air Vice-Marshal Andrew Vallance CB OBE, Air Commodore David Adams and Brigadier Geoffrey Dodds OBE. The chairman was Peter Watkins CBE, the MoD’s director general of Strategy, Security and Policy Operations.
Under the direction of these military intelligence handlers, the Guardian played a role in bringing other newspapers internationally to heel. The minutes note, “because of an agreement between the Guardian and allied publications overseas to coordinate their respective disclosures of Snowden material, advice given to the Guardian has been passed on to the New York Times and others, helping guide the disclosures of these outlets.”
In September 2014, the Guardian allowed the former head of GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) Sir David Omand to publish an article titled, “Edward Snowden’s leaks are misguided—they risk exposing us to cyber-attacks.”
He declared, “Journalists are not best placed to identify security risks; we have to trust those who oversee the intelligence-gathering.”
In 2016, Paul Johnson used an unprecedented interview with a serving head of MI5, Andrew Parker, to propagandize for the antidemocratic, warmongering interests of British imperialism.
These facts are damning proof of the Guardian’s total integration into the propaganda wing of the MoD following its involvement in the WikiLeaks and Snowden files releases. Indeed, the work of WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange has served to expose and confirm the deep ties of the entire mainstream media to the military-intelligence complex.
The Guardian has been viewed historically as the voice of British liberal dissent, critical of the worst excesses of British capitalism at home and abroad. But it has always acted as a political policeman—filtering the news “responsibly” and channelling the resulting anger into impotent moral appeals to the state and other authorities. Its dealings with Assange and Snowden transformed political allegiance into direct subservience. Its liberal, critical pretensions unravelled in a matter of a few months.
When Assange looked to the Guardian and other papers internationally such as the New York Times to publish the Afghan and Iraq war logs and secret US diplomatic cables in 2010, the editors’ main concern was damage control. Within a month of an initial publication of documents, the Guardian had broken off relations with Assange—publishing an infamous December 17 editorial “WikiLeaks: the man and the idea.” It stated that the Guardian had only agreed to publish “a small number of cables” to control the political fall-out from the details of murder, torture, espionage and corruption they revealed and give it the opportunity of “editing, contextualising, explanation and redaction.”
The main purpose of the editorial was to support Assange’s extradition to Sweden on trumped-up allegations of sexual misconduct relating to a trip to that country a few months earlier.
In an op-ed piece published last month by former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, he assumes to take the moral high ground by claiming that WikiLeaks issued leaks unredacted, and wanted to continue this practise, in contrast with his “responsible” journalism. An editorial published immediately prior to Rusbridger’s article, again supporting Assange’s extradition to Sweden to face “charges” that don’t exist, stated, “The Guardian disapproved of the mass publication of unredacted documents ... and broke with Mr. Assange over the issue.”
This is a self-serving lie. WikiLeaks has pointed out that the editorial “conveniently leaves out” that it was the Guardian —through a book authored by David Leigh and Luke Harding—that disclosed the password to the digital file Assange had given them in confidence. The book was a hatchet job on WikiLeaks. The rights to it were sold, becoming the basis of a slanderous Hollywood movie.
When NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked files detailing blanket state surveillance of the world’s population in 2013, the Guardian set out to play the same “responsible” role. Asked afterwards if the paper had held back from publishing anything about GCHQ and UK security services because of “worries about national security,” the ever-pliant Mr. Rusbridger replied, “Yes, we’ve held back a great deal, we’ve published a small amount of what we have read.”
This time, however, the Guardian was told by the security services that even rigorously filtering the Snowden’s revelations was not good enough. It must stop publishing immediately.
The country’s top civil servant, Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, called the Guardian’s offices to pass on the demands of then Prime Minister David Cameron that the Snowden material either be returned to the government or destroyed. Editors were threatened with legal action if they did not comply.
Rusbridger later explained, “The tone was steely, if cordial, but there was an implicit threat that others within government and Whitehall favoured a far more draconian approach.” This is a masterpiece of understatement. Emails obtained by the Associated Press in 2014 showed that this was an operation conducted in intimate collusion between the government, the British security services and the US National Security Agency, including then Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
In the end, two GCHQ security officials directly oversaw the Guardians destruction of its own material. Three Guardian staff members, including Paul Johnson himself, destroyed the hard drives in the Guardian’s possession with angle grinders and other equipment provided by GCHQ officials.
The Guardian had been put in a position it never wanted. Its liberal reputation, and previous disclosures, had made it the newspaper of choice for WikiLeaks’ and Snowden’s revelations. But the scale of what had been uncovered threatened the fundamental interests of British and US imperialism. It therefore rolled over when the government told it to cease and desist, before taking its place alongside the rest of the right-wing media on the secret committee responsible for press censorship and propaganda dissemination.
One of Assange’s persecutors-in-chief, Luke Harding, enjoys the most intimate relations with the security services. His notorious November 2018 fabrication, claiming Assange held meetings with US President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort, was published in the Guardian just two weeks after Johnson was thanked for “re-establishing links” with the MoD. The story was widely cited and formed a keystone of the efforts, spearheaded by the Democrats in the US, to present WikiLeaks and “Russian interference” as the causes of Trump’s 2016 election victory.
Harding played a central role in silencing questions over the UK government’s bogus account of the Skripal affair in mid-2018. These events were the subject of at least one D-notice, issued while Paul Johnson was on the responsible committee.
An unintended but valuable consequence of the WikiLeaks exposures has been to explode the fraud of the Guardian’s claim to any critical independence from the state. The crimes of the major imperialist powers against the world’s population made available by WikiLeaks were so great that they could not be neutralised, even by the Guardian’s professional gatekeepers of the “truth.” Not a word published in this imperialist propaganda sheet can ever be taken at face value.

Fyodor Dostoevsky in 'Notes From The Underground': "Power, power was what I wanted then, sport was what I wanted, I wanted to wring out your tears, your humiliation, your hysteria - that was what I wanted then."

Gore Vidal in 'History Of The National Security State': "I think everybody should take a sober look at the world about us, remember that practically everything that you're told about other countries is untrue; what we're told about ourselves and our great strength and how much loved we are - forget it. Our strength is there but it's the kind of strength that blows off your hand while you hold up the grenade; it's a suicidal strength as well as a murderous one. So here we are, and let us hope it is not the end of the road, even though there's every sign that it is not the yellow brick road up ahead."

Caitlin Johnstone: "A nation that cannot exist without nonstop warfare is not a real nation, it's an ongoing military operation that happens to have suburbs."

Katrin Axelsson and Lisa Longstaff (of  'Women Against Rape'): "When Julian Assange was first arrested, we were struck by the unusual zeal with which he was being pursued for rape allegations. It seems even clearer now that the allegations against him are a smokescreen behind which a number of governments are trying to clamp down on WikiLeaks for having audaciously revealed to the public their secret planning of wars and occupations with their attendant rape, murder and destruction."

Noam Chomsky: "The arrest of Assange is scandalous in several respects... These are efforts to silence a journalist who was producing materials that people in power didn't want the rascal multitude to know about. WikiLeaks was producing things that people ought to know about the people in power. But they don't like that, so therefore they have to silence it. This is the kind of scandal that unfortunately takes place over and over."

Slavoj Zizek: "So let's move on to the big question: Why now? I think one name explains it all: Cambridge Analytica - a name that stands for all Assange is about, for what he fights against: the links between the great private corporations and government agencies. Remember how big an obsession was the Russian meddling in US elections? Now we know it was not the Russian hackers (with Assange) who nudged the people toward Trump, but our own data-processing agencies who joined up with political forces... The biggest achievement of the new cognitive-military complex is that direct and obvious oppression is no longer necessary: individuals are much better controlled and 'nudged' in the desired direction when they continue to experience themselves as free and autonomous agents of their own life... Let a hundred WikiLeaks blossom. The panic and fury with which those in power - those who control our digital commons - reacted to Assange, is a proof that such activity hits a nerve. There will be many blows below the belt in this fight... but we should get used to it and learn to strike back with interest, ruthlessly playing one side against the other in order to bring them all down."

Edward Snowden: "Daniel Hale was charged under the Espionage Act for the 'crime' of exposing the classified fact that nearly 90% of those the government kills via drone are innocents and bystanders. 90%. Hale should be pardoned. Reality Winner should be pardoned. End the war on whistleblowers."

Al Wei Wei: ""He [Assange] has the right to stay, as a dissident person, to protect freedom of speech. I think it's a very sad day for Europe, for the West, to arrest someone like Assange."

Gabriel Garcia Marquez: "The journalist should be like a mosquito, which is there to irritate those in power, buzzing incessantly."

Howard Zinn: "“Historically, the most terrible things—war, genocide, and slavery—have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience.”

Ed Snowden: "It is now undeniable that spies worldwide exploit the credulity of journalists to conceal their violation of human rights. This century will teach a harsh lesson: While terrorism is no existential threat to democracy, our political deference to intelligence agencies might be."

WikiLeaks: "When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are ruled by criminals."

Srecko Horvat: "The current system is more violent than any revolution."

Toussaint Louverture: "It is best I suffer but keep doing good things."

Renata Avila: "We live in a dangerous time in which everyone opposed to great political and financial powers might soon become a target, just like Assange... A Western publisher, a journalist, is gagged in Europe - a symbol of the collapse of the West. Silencing and torturing a journalist - in plain sight - is to cross a limit, and yet no-one rioted."

Even the olives are bleeding as malicious non-democratic forces erode the lives of others.

Geoffroy de Lagasnerie: "WikiLeaks, the utopia we need... The principles upon which WikiLeaks is based are the very same principles that are needed today to create a new political culture: principles of transparency, anti-authoritarianism, internationalism, non-submission, and unconditionality... By defending Assange, we defend and protect the future of democracy. It could be that Assange embodies for the twenty-first century a character as important as Nelson Mandela was in the twentieth century."

Crime

Isabelle Allende: "What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, the power to abuse"

Football Index was a criminal construct that might be utilised as a example to demonstrate the corruptions underpinning the English game.

The Index was established as a pseudo-Ponzi construct working with talking heads (John Motson, Guillem Balague, Ralph Honigstein) and rogue media (the Guardian) to create player value markets that were to be gamed by insiders for proprietary profit.

Football Index didn't hold clients' monies in any protected account meaning that, when the Ponzi went belly up, there was nothing for investors to seek. It was all safely banked offshore.

The company issued new shares in footballers to attract mug bettors even when it was known internally that the platform was, in effect, liquidated.
For example, the exchange issued 2,400 new shares in Jadon Sancho to add to the 921,509 already in circulation. When the owners went into hiding, the value of Sancho plummeted to £0.72 from £7.52, having traded as high as £15 just months earlier.

Firstly customers had to put up with manipulated prices, no dividends and enlarged spreads but this soon evolved into an inability to deposit or withdraw funds as the planned for administration came to pass.

Football Index is the biggest ever failure of any British betting company and leads to questions about the role of government and the Gambling Commission who allegedly regulated this pyramid structure. It was essentially operating a fraction reserve banking system where only a small percentage of users' money was available to withdraw at any given time.

Some bettors had £250,000 invested in this newspaper-backed scam. It is estimated that £90 million was pocketed by insiders. Football Index were minting shares right up to the collapse of the platform in an odious display of criminalised marginal gains.

At the same time, an equivalent platform called Footstock also went into administration after the German techie owners ran off with the money. Chris Kamara, the television presenter, had been the public face of this entity, persuading punters to part with their cash with no hope of ever getting it back. Kamara is a serial scumbag.
Kamara: "Ever since gaining my lucky break being spotted playing for the Royal Navy, I've always embraced life's opportunities and working with Footstock is another exciting prospect. The game (!) allows football followers to utilise their knowledge in a fun and responsible way."
There's no fun like bankruptcy Kamara.

Football Is Fixed raised concerns about Football Index from its launch in 2015. Initially we expressed concern that it was a Ponzi scheme dependent on revenue from new customers to pay dividends owed to others further up the pyramid but then we realised that it was worse than a Ponzi - it was an orchestrated criminal enterprise featuring a number of the miscreants who we focus on in these books.

The entity should have been regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) not a captured body like the Gambling Commission. Even when the Gambling Commission eventually spluttered into action (way after the final whistle should have been blown), it elected to suspend the licence of BetIndex (the parent company) rather than revoking it.

A City of London trader states: "Many people in the City were completely astonished that Football Index was able to open and run a fully-blown market-making platform without any oversight from the FCA."

Having Ponzi characteristics, there was no downside protection and there was not sufficient liquidity and BetIndex removed the ability to instantly sell one's positions at the start of the covid-19 pandemic.

There is also a slither of difference between a Ponzi scheme - which serves out its abuses to a natural dynamic over a window of time (think capitalism, for example) and a mafia criminal enterprise that aims to shorten the time frame to optimise the shafting process so that the stolen money may be reinvested as soon as possible.
Due to the inputs of Sky Sports, BT Sport and the Guardian to the fake inputs of Football Index, we are dealing here with a criminal enterprise.

Jean-Francois Lyotard: "In every case, nature produces the least complex local morphology compatible with the initial local circumstances."

The Ponzi operates naturally. The criminal enterprise is orchestrated.

A spokesperson for the support group for those abused by Football Index states: "The things I've heard over the last few weeks beggar belief, and there will be thousands more out there who are suffering in silence."

The entire bookmaking sector requires a robust regulator as much as anything just to allow the basic reality of winning accounts - if bookies close winners down (and 99.9% of them do) then what is betting actually about? Without change more companies will abuse punters in the future safe in the knowledge that they can scuttle off to crown territories with their stolen largesse leaving the inept Gambling Commission to take the flak.

In the aftermath of the collapse of Football Index, more than 40 MPs and peers have demanded a public inquiry to investigate the roles of the Gambling Commission and the Department of Culture Media and Sport (DCMS). The signatories are demanding to know why the Gambling Commission ignored numerous warnings about Football Index and "by negligence or design" allowed Football Index to overstate its financial position, reassuring its users to attract more investment and new money into the platform. Our political representatives conclude that the "scandal has brought into sharp focus regulation that is not fit for purpose and mechanisms for consumer redress that are nonexistent."

Of course, the British football media is rancid to the core merely offering staged entertainment extravaganzas for illicit offshore tax-evaded wealth creation - the smiling faces on your television screens are the assassins of your sport. Football has become show business welded onto a betting market.

The Football Index trading model is also increasingly present in financial markets.

One such example is Cadre, an alternative asset entity that allows people to trade in buildings like a digital stock market. Cadre finds investment opportunities with a life of around five to seven years and lists it on its platform. Investors can buy pieces of it and every quarter rental income is paid out. By offering low fees at a quarter of the rates charged by traditional alternative-asset manager, Cadre attracts the befuddled to its platform.

Or take Tether, a so-called stablecoin whose issuer has long claimed that Tethers are backed one-to-one by dollars.
The Economist: "Doubts have long swirled around Tether's claim to be a sort of digital dollar. Critics say the one-to-one backing looks flaky."
There are also suspicions that Tether is being used to manipulate markets and worries exist over the degree of control that Tether's owners have over supply.
New York's attorney-general Letitia James branded the firm fraudulent in February 2021.
The Economist: "Ms James's charge-sheet is damning. Tether, she says, lied about its dollar backing. Its 'self-proclaimed verification' was allegedly a sham... Moreover, Bitfinex [a crypto-currency exchange owned largely by Tether] was not upfront about hundreds of millions of dollars that went missing through a third-party payments processor reportedly based in Panama."

JP Morgan Chase: "Were any issues to arise that could affect the willingness or ability of both domestic and foreign investors to use Tether, the most likely result would be a severe liquidity shock to the broader crypto-currency market." 

Tether is only different to Football Index in its business architecture in that it is tied into the wider crypto-currency universe whereas Football Index was pretty much a sole provider of shares in footballers. This, of course, allowed extended possibilities for price manipulation and abuse.

The government was keen for any inquiry into Football Index to be overseen by the DCMS who hold some responsibility for the scam - the defendant should always be the blinkered self-prosecutor in the eyes of the PM Psycho Monster.

The Guardian attempted to display mock apoplexy over the Football Index shenanigans - shenanigans that their 'journalists' helped to fuel.
The Guardian simply offers Vichy journalism - a paper where the unscrupulous meet the unwise.

Over a two month period between August 3rd 2020 and October 6th 2020, the Guardian newspaper provided the following headlines relating to Jadon Sancho.

In this window, the value of Sancho on the Football Index platform went through the roof as desperate punters sought to get a piece of the action before the player joined one of the world's biggest clubs.
Sancho was hot.
Except that he was not.

In the first 11 Bundesliga matches that he played for Borussia Dortmund in season 2020/21, Sancho failed to score a single goal, indeed his first Bundesliga goal of the season came after the New Year. He failed to score in 6 England internationals but did manage a couple of goals against lesser teams in the Champions League group stages.
All in all, two goals in 22 games - not exactly 250 million euro territory then.

Ed Aarons & Fabrizio Romano (August 3rd 2020): "Manchester United in advanced talks with Dortmund over £90m Sancho"

Ed Aarons, Fabrizio Romano & Jamie Jackson (August 4th 2020): "Manchester United close to £90 million deal with Dortmund after Sancho agrees terms"

Jamie Jackson (August 10th 2020): "Borussia Dortmund insist Jadon Sancho will not leave this summer"

Reuters (August 13th 2020): "Jadon Sancho happy to help 'special young players' develop at Dortmund"

Ed Aarons & Fabrizio Romano (September 9th 2020): "Manchester United make progress in pursuit of Dortmund's Jadon Sancho"

Jamie Jackson (September 9th 2020): "Jadon Sancho, a street player with the potential to be England's Neymar"

Jonathan Liew (September 19th 2020): "Manchester United need time more than money or Jadon Sancho"

Fabrizio Romano (September 29th 2020): "Dortmund tell Manchester United 90 million euros is nowhere near enough for Jadon Sancho"

Jamie Jackson (October 6th 2020): "Manchester United abandoned Jadon Sancho bid as it would cost 250 million euros"

The Guardian output should have been investigated as part of the inquiry into Football Index as the newspaper was complicit in fleecing Football Index punters via fake news.
After the price of Sancho on the Football Index platform was inflated by this pseudo-journalism, the value of Sancho had declined 95% at the time of administration.
Still, money for the boys on the newsdesk.

On February 8th 2021, one of the worst examples of fake-journalist at the Guardian, the lop-sided Barry Glendenning wrote: "Gambling affordability checks by control freaks would be a threat to civil liberties" - hardly surprising that Guardian 'journalists' who receive and bet on inside information and who manipulate markets are complaining about some external monitoring of the illicit revenues they develop through their contacts with those corrupting our sports.

No era football, era fraude.
Otro futbol es posibil.

EXCLUSIVE - Matchfixing Alert

Cause The White Man's Got A God Complex

Whenever teams 'owned' by John Colquhoun play one another, the games are corrupted and the global betting markets are fucked.

Colquhoun 'orchestrates' coercion of players, cartelised player performance across agents, doping, insider trading, the targeting of VAR, match official control, institutional inputs and media disinformation.

This is semi-systemic matchfixing destructing the integrity of the Premier League.

English football needs the independent regulator IREF now.

We cannot continue to have organised crime policing itself.

Pass it on.

Compare this with the beautiful AFCON tournament just completed.

The African Cup of Nations has been incredibly refreshing for those of us who have to monitor matchfixed English football for much of our working lives.

The refereeing has been impeccable.
The use of VAR accurate and swift.
The matchfixing by agents and coerced players peripheral.
The non-trying dodgy goalkeepers absent.
The prima donna play-acting by histrionic narcissist multi-millionaires not forming part of the game.

Plus.

The triumph of the 'Black' nations over the north African ones marks a considerable shift in the power on the continent.

The only downside has been the inappropriate inputs of Cyprus-based Russian bookmaker 1XBET.

Unfortunately, the colonial BBC relegated tonight's Final to BBC 3 as Antiques Roadshow, Call the Fucking Midwife and This Farming Life are seen as more relevant usages of the BBC 1 and 2 platforms.

We are all African.

Rogue Umpires, Rogue Referees & Rogues

Originally Published February 11th 2024 for For Green Fields clients

We will be addressing VAR and why the PGMOL is not fit for purpose in a future Chapter in Book Two but there is one matter worthy of current discussion - the tilting of structure against integrity.

England cricket captain Ben Stokes claims Hawk-Eye "got it wrong" when Zac Crawley was given out LBW in the Second Test in India which England duly lost.

Obviously there is an element of the "whingeing Pom" to Stokes's view but there are more major points here.

First and foremost, should it not be the case that the software underpinning Hawk-Eye is externally monitored? This process needs policing as the "invisible hand" is determining ball tracking without any public disclosure of whether the software is being correctly applied.
Although, undoubtedly, there are many occasions where it is, in key matches at key times with such a small grouping of officials and such huge betting volumes (particularly in South Asia and diaspora), we believe that this is not executed with integrity.

Secondly, the Pakistan coach Mohammad Hafeez believes technology deficiencies determined the outcome of the Boxing Day Test Match in Australia.
Hafeez questioned the on-field umpiring in the game and, more importantly (as many top class international umpires have inappropriately close relationships with those that they shouldn't) highlighted the considerable manipulations regarding umpire's call on ball-tracking LBW decisions.

Hafeez: "The ball hitting the stump is always out. Why it's umpire's call, I never understand that."

And this is the core issue...
... the on-field umpire is shown to have made a mistake and yet his erroneous decision stands.

This happens very frequently in football too where the "not enough evidence to overturn the referee decision" is an arbitrary construct with no robust threshold of application.

A similar issue exists with the reverse reality where a VAR official undermines the referee without there being enough evidence to do so.

In the forthcoming VAR Chapter in Book Two, we suggest a solution to these issues allowing integrity rather than crime to determine the match outcomes.

Additionally...

In the meantime, thank goodness Qatar got three penalties in the Final of the Asia Trophy in an incredibly biased performance from Chinese referee Ma Ning.
We could go on about dark pool and underground insider trading in SE Asia but we'll save that delicacy for another menu.

Furthermore...

Allowing the points deductions and related punishments to be arbitrarily decided by mafia processes prevents ALL outsiders from trading ante-post on the outcomes of the EPL title and relegation markets.

The degree of punishment completely destroys any validity in these markets aside from the insiders who are determining how and when these arbitrary actions will be perpetrated.

A golden goose is being hung drawn and quartered by Colquhoun's operatives.

Freaky Football: Recipes For Disaster - Anarchist Cookbook Exposing Systemic Corruption In Premier League

Aperitif - Freaky Football (Last Updated 08/01/24)

Jeremiah Bullivant: "While Cosmologists search for the ultimate nature of reality, we seek the ultimate nature of corruption"

Over the course of season 2023/24, the Football Is Fixed Network are producing, in real time, an extensive and exclusive book detailing corruption in the Premier League - we reveal the perpetrators, the impacts, the matchfixing, the insider trading, the cartelised behaviours (particularly by football agents), the targeting of certain teams (specifically Brighton and Hove Albion, Arsenal, Manchester City, Everton, West Ham United, Fulham, Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers), the abuses of the transfer market, the systemic doping, the machinations of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the role of referees in matchfixing, the manipulations on winning margins, the agreed results, the role of organised crime groups, the puppeting of match officials by specific clubs, the institutional contortions of integrity, the captured mainstream media, the criminalised bookmakers, the distortion of the league and the control of the fixture list and match flow.

That sort of thing...

This anti-corruption novelette content will be interspersed with the outputs that Football Is Fixed have shared with clients over season 2023/24 and we have established a proprietary URL where members of our Network and For Green Fields clients* may access content from all three books in the trilogy in one location.

Book 1 of the trilogy took seven years to prepare...
... Book 2 will take 7 months.
When the two sevens clash as Culture once kindly informed us...

We are not charging for this book as our aim is to share the full template of the systemic corruption with fans.
The Independent Regulator For Football (IREF) will soon be operational.
It is important for the future of the game that certain realities are in the public arena prior to the onset of this currently toothless entity.

If you feel like supporting us in our whistleblowing endeavours then you may make a Donation via the box at the top right of the web page.
We are grateful for any donations received.

By the time this mini-book is completed, readers will have access to a full matrix of the corrupting forces emanating from rogue agent and organisational kingpin John Colquhoun.

Football in England (and Scotland) is systemically corrupted.

We intend to demonstrate how this destruction in integrity is achieved and provide extensive evidences in a variety of forms that will prove that the game has been captured by organised crime.

We are no longer willing to negotiate.

We aim to publicise everything we know (although a percentage of evidences will be held back for strategic defence). within the book.

Hors D'Oeuvres - Tinker Hacker Whistleblower Spy

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."

We aim in this mini-book, among other things, to help Roberto De Zerbi understand why many PGMOL referees are corrupt, how they are corrupt and the manners in which they bring that corruption to the sport and to the betting markets.

We will demonstrate that Mr De Zerbi is correct in his assertion that 80% of PGMOL referees are problematical (although we make that number 78%).

But we won't quibble over 2% here and there.

The PGMOL is problematical to integrity in the Premier League.

Although there have been improvements under Howard Webb, there are insiders who not only manipulate referee selection but also directly interfere in the officiating process producing outputs that may only be described as corrupt.

When Colquhoun (who is the missing link between the vegetable and mineral kingdoms) 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 both on the blog and in Book 1 of this trilogy. 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.
Furthermore, the match day referees had been illegally linked to Stockley Park for many seasons with Lee Mason once waiting 45 seconds in a Premier League match while the decision was relayed to him via unseen and anonymised individuals from afar.

When Webb gained control of the PGMOL, he sacked Swarbrick last season along with Mason and Mike Dean.
Mainstream media manipulated fake narratives over these dismissals to disguise the fact that all three individuals from Stockley Park exhibited a peculiar positive correlation with the requirements of three different mafia groups.

Just a Freaky Football Fluke obviously...

After Moss retired with one of the most corrupt inept refereeing performances in recent years where he allowed Nottingham Forest to steal the Championship Play Off Final from Huddersfield Town in 2020/21, he was promoted to the PGMOL as a manager and serves as Colquhoun's lieutenant at Stockley Park.

Mr Moss is an integrity-lite shite.

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).

The impact of these officials was marked both in the betting markets and in the outcomes of the season.
Although Manchester City are also heavily targeted by Colquhoun's mobsters, it was Arsenal who had the stuffing knocked out of their campaign last season via Mason's bizarre interpretations in the Arsenal versus Brentford match that proved to be his downfall.

Manchester City are targeted in other ways by match officials.
There are five PGMOL referees who are not able to officiate on Liverpool matches due to their support of the club.
This results in two impacts.
Firstly, there is a smaller grouping of referees for Liverpool games and familiarity breeds potential corruption.
But, secondly and much more critically, the five Liverpool supporting match officials have made 22 key match changing decisions (penalties or red cards) on Manchester City EPL games...
... only three of those decisions have gone in the Mancunians favour.

Brentford, of course, are owned by a former bookmaker and professional gambler Matthew Benham who has a trading room within the club stadium.
He also owns Matchbook, a bookmaker that manipulates realities and doesn't allow winning accounts.

Brentford match outcomes are known in the underground betting markets pre-match...
... but at least there is some sophistication to Benham's manipulations of reality whereas Colquhoun's corruptions are poorly structured and lack class. They are just simplistic boiler room scams.

Once Swarbrick and Moss retired from refereeing, Colquhoun worked on getting other referees willing to do his bidding promoted to the PGMOL Select Group - David Coote, Michael Salisbury and Jarred Gillett were the first wave of inappropriates but this season has seen the extrapolation of a far more extensive network of corrupt officials.

Some of these officials monetise their role via contracts with bookmakers and proprietary proxy trading.

Why doesn't Howard Webb act on this?
He is supposed to be a policeman after all.

Let's travel back through a wormhole of time.

The corruption matrix in English football was robust until Euro 2020 (played in 2021 due to the pandemic).

But, due to investigative journalism by the Football Is Fixed Network, this infrastructure bifurcated in the midst of the tournament as Brighton and Hove Albion owner Tony Bloom and Colquhoun waged war on one another.

The former utilises enhanced military strategy while the latter is a terroristic thug.

When Wasserman agents took over Colquhoun's Key Sports agency, the resulting marriage combined to create integrity issues across the world game with a particular focus on the Premier League and the Championship in England.

Graham Potter was manager at Brighton when Colquhoun persuaded him to join the Wasserman stable and leave the club for a position at Chelsea.
At the time, Colquhoun utilised his position as unofficial editor-in-chief of the football section at the Guardian to mock Bloom's loss and the wee man reckoned that by stealing Potter's backroom staff he would be dealing a mortal blow to Bloom's enterprise.

Not so.
The genius of Brighton and Hove Albion is Tony Bloom not Graham 'Harry' Potter and his underlings.
Brighton gained strength while Potter failed miserably at Chelsea becoming, in effect, unemployable in the process.
This was not a slick strategy and a coup but an act of self-harm as Colquhoun cut off his plasticated nose to spite his plasticated face. Choosing a latter day Sun Tzu as an enemy was not the brightest move.
This is an error he repeatedly makes in his chaotic evolution to mafia boss.

The net result of this emphatic own goal was that the Premier League has evolved into a split duopoly at club level.
There are two networks of clubs who fight with one another in fragmented cartelised form - one under Bloom's oversight and the other larger grouping under Colquhoun's.
And it is the latter that is truly problematical to integrity in the Premier League.

Now Colquhoun's camp isn't a robust structure of cartel akin to OPEC but a messy compendium of partial allegiance to a loosely defined cause.
And some teams exist in their own universe - for example, Newcastle United who all organised crime groups desire to work alongside due to the sheer financial strength of the Saudi-backed operation.

The Stellar / Wasserman / Unique / CAA - Base (SWUC) cartel of corrupted agents represent eleven Newcastle players while manager Eddie Howe is a Wasserman weasel man.

The strategies of Bloom and Colquhoun differentiate at this point.
So, both Arsenal and Tottenham, despite not being in Colquhoun's organised crime orbit are influenced by the Scot via Mikel Arteta of Arsenal being represented by Wasserman and Ange Postecoglou at Spurs being under CAA - Base control.

Colquhoun's efforts are always in the instant as his psychopathic personality disorder prevents him from creating robust strategies or from understanding the cause and effect of actions perpetrated.
His disaster capitalism template enforces a real time spinning of plates as he attempts to maintain his tentacles of corruption. The downfall of this template is that plates frequently fall as individuals and entities fall outside of Colquhoun's gravitational pull.

Colquhoun desperately attempts to be perceived as a mafia man in his local arena and as a successful businessman further afield.

Bloom is elevated at a much higher level and plans a decade or more ahead while Colquhoun struggles to think beyond lunchtime.

As part of Colquhoun's attempts to sycophant up to Mohammed bin Salman, there aren't just the inputs at Newcastle but a whole array of entities represented directly by Colquhoun or via third party ownership who have moved over to the nascent Saudi Pro League in an attempt to give it authenticity and, of course, to take the blood money.

Spectacularly, El-Ettifaq are captained by Jordan Henderson who, having gained an MBE for his work on LGBTQ+ issues decided the best way to promote his campaigning work was to be be paid £700,000 per week to enhance a regime that beheads gay people (as well as women, social media critics of the government etc).
Nice.
Meanwhile, talentless Wasserman client Steven Gerrard has also sold out to state terrorism.
Nice.
Slimy J and Slippy G.

Howdy Saudi (Originally Published September 22nd 2023)

MBS, as he likes to be known, is precise in his psychopathy - sportswashing by Saudi Arabia will increase the total annual profits made by the Kingdom by 1.0 to 1.5% he told Fox News in a rare interview this week.
He sees sports that way.
He seeks sub-sectors that will slot into his portfolio of trading entities and offer integrated and enhanced returns in the symbiotic wonderland of a walled garden in the desert, an enclave within capitalism.
He exploits cartel control of global oil prices and chips away at enemy edifices via minor victories over the table, the takeover of Newcastle United by Saudi's sovereign wealth fund, for example, while constructing integrated infrastructure.
So not paying transfer fees or delaying the payment such fees must be seen as a deliberate slur towards the western owners, agents and players who were only too keen to accept their slice of a booty based on beheadings and the murder of a journalist with a bone saw and a vat of acid...
The little ruse with the non-payment no doubt made MBS chuckle (do sheikhs chuckle?) but continues to have real impacts on the football sector with global betting turnover falling 13% at the peak of the crisis, presumably because agents and club owners were unable to put as much money to market due to cash flow problems.
Then MBS makes a fake attack about Saudi teams being in next season's expanded Champions League.
There is a pincer movement whereby the Union of European Clubs (UEC) attack the European Club Association (ECA) from one side while FIFA / Saudi Arabia / USA attack UEFA from the other.
When the G14 expanded into the ECA and was allegedly disbanded, nothing changed - the same inner core ran European football with a pseudo-gloss of democracy.
The defining battleground became the future development of a Super League as everybody had to place their cards on the table and their allegiances in the open and yet still the Europeans played as if omnipotent.
Any Super League, European or Global would do.
That was the ultimate prize so the European Super League (ESL) was immediately acceptable to the clubs (before fan backlash) and to some governments (before voter backlash).
Initially, of course, it was supposed to be Britain and the US taking over football with a strategy begun 13 years ago to gain control of key agencies within FIFA and UEFA.
The Premier League universe however spent too much time focusing on UEFA and was blindsided to the Americans getting bored and walking away.
It's a structural thing - the Rail and Ports deal which was recently announced on the G20 sidelines by USA, EU, Saudi Arabia, UAE & India left the UK conspicuous by its absence.
It's a peculiarity of modern life that, despite virtually all of the terrorists who carried out 9/11 being Saudi, the US has only gone round destructing other countries who were not involved in 9/11 in any way, shape or form...
... and yet continues to cosy up to the House of Saud.
Almost like it's a shared strategy.
Almost.
While UEFA fights it's internal battles on a foundation of reactive strategy, the FIFA / Saudi Arabia / USA World Super League (WSL) is coming with the initial forerunner being the 2025 Club Championship.
The UK was so focused on short term and immediate profits that they failed to realise just how many of the WSL teams will be owned by Americans and Arabs - Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United, AC Milan, Inter Milan (under Oaktree Capital control), Paris St Germain, Olympique de Marseille, AS Roma etc while Juventus, Barcelona, Atletico and Real Madrid have never shifted their focus from the prize on offer.
The battle is over.
MBS has won.
There is no competing against a state oligarch at this strength.
He has decided to exert ultimate control of global football and global football has to accept that future.
The UK had its chance.
A combination of Brexit, greed and internecine fighting blew any opportunity.
The Midas Touch that Europe thought it possessed from its power base at UEFA turned out to be nothing more than its Achilles Heel at FIFA.

This sucking up to sociopathic power structures is an attempt at a strategy that is bound to fail.
Bin Salman doesn't need the inputs of a rancid wee mafia man from Stirling.

So.

That is the matrix upon which the semi-systemic corruption destroying football in the Premier League is based.

The more interesting reality is how these power games play out on the field of play and that is what we will be focusing on in the next chapter where we expose some of the matchfixing that defines this self-styled 'World's Greatest League'.

Cook, Recipe Book - The Matrix Of Manipulation

Daphne Caruana Galizia: "There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate"

Before we begin on the template of a systemic corruption, we need to set the parameters of engagement.

The information and data shared in this book comes from an array of sources - internal analytics from the Football Is Fixed Network, privileged betting account inputs from bookmakers where our Network has messengers, REDACTED, our broker in South East Asia, from individual Network members in their various loci  and via machine learning / neural network tools (to collate disparate sources into a holistic unit).

We are also sent, from time to time, documents, betting account info, data dumps, intercepts and transcripts from security entities at both state and hacker levels.

Our Network never makes any requests for these latter inputs on a specific basis although we do encourage whistleblowing in the political direct action sense.

There are, obviously, some arenas that remain opaque to our investigations and such battlegrounds remain as ongoing projects in our analyses.

Furthermore, systemic corruption templates are not scientific constructs.

You would think, therefore, that our projections of this corrupted infrastructure is less robust than, say, the Lorentz equation of motion or Church's lambda calculus. But we beg to differ.

One of the key infrastructural realities of systemic corruption matrices developed by organised crime groups is the formulation of the criminalised model.

So, although there are differentials created by the human and the psychological, the interactive and the interpersonal, the grid of corruption created by our analytics is immensely robust in that it is based on so many strong inputs and evidences.

But in adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky - all legitimate football clubs are alike, each corrupted football club is corrupt in its own way.

So, the template of corruption markedly differs across Colquhoun's stable of entities depending on the club ownership, infrastructure, size as well as cultural and geopolitical inputs.

We approach whistleblowing using scientific method and quantum economics, cosmology modelling and artificial intelligence, military strategy and psychological assessment, and then we integrate the science with the hard evidence provided by contacts and hackers.

We started with a hypothesis.
It evolved into a thesis.
And we are now witnessing and exposing a criminal template.

As we have already intimated, John Colquhoun has established a stable of clubs.
For the purposes of this book, we are primarily going to focus on teams that are currently in the Premier League.

By a remarkable statistical fluke, this stable of clubs are markedly 'helped' by the officiating of certain PGMOL referees.

But let's take it from the top...

We assess referee and VAR input on all games in our databases.

Those who wish to disguise the levels of corruption in football inform us that referee errors even out over the season.
This is not the case and, indeed, has never been the case (see numerous historical articles and Book 1 for details of these corrupted tilts).

For example, in Scotland over the last six years, when John Beaton has refereed the Tribute Act from Ibrox, he has given 12 penalties and red cards...
... every single decision has been in favour of the club based upon the liquidated and defunct Rangers FC.
No leveling out over time there then...

Once we released this fundamental analysis, Beaton gave a penalty to Kilmarnock (at 0-2 behind) versus Rangers in his next appointment for the Ibrox club.

Our Network liaise with certain individuals at Europol and this inversion of a corruption template once made public is an investigative input that is often utilised by policing bodies.

We weight referee and VAR intrusions into the sport at either +/-1.0 or +/- 0.5 dependent on the severity of impact of the decision.

In season 2023/24 to date, the holistic tilt of the stable of Colquhoun outfits has been +13 in total i.e. a differential of 13 major decisions have been in favour of this cartel of clubs.

Conversely, the remainder of the division has a -78 totalisation.

We have never witnessed such a tilt in any other league in any other season.

This is systemic matchfixing pure and (very) simple.

Now.
An outsider might question how we reach such figures when every single refereeing decision (and it's evaluation and interpretation) is subjective.
To address any personal biases, our whole Network rate every single major decision made by PGMOL officials and the mean is recorded in our databases.

There is no collusion just an honest attempt to assess the refereeing realities in the EPL.

Titles, Champions League and other UEFA qualifications as well as relegation places are being adjusted via these corrupt inputs.

Last season, Manchester United were presented with a Champions League place via inappropriate inputs while Hodgson's Crystal Palace have twice escaped relegation in the same manner.

At the halfway stage this season, the following teams stand out for the positive or negative effects of PGMOL decisions:

Clubs markedly helped by PGMOL: Aston Villa +17 points, Liverpool +11 points, Newcastle United +8 points, Manchester United +5 points.
Clubs markedly abused by PGMOL: Burnley -6 points, Nottingham Forest -7 points, Brighton and Hove Albion -9 points, Wolverhampton Wanderers - 11 points.

These levels of differential do not exist in any other major league.
Not even remotely...

It goes without saying that the targeting of Tony Bloom by Colquhoun is a serious impact on sporting integrity.

A very key database of events this season is the one comparing referee and VAR impacts on clubs within Colquhoun's orbit when playing against clubs external to such cartel.

In a legitimate league, there is no reason for any tilt or bias in such matches.
If the PGMOL officials were neutral arbiters then there should be nothing in the databases showing a leaning in favour of Colquhoun cartel clubs.

Unfortunately for the legitimacy of the Premier League that is not the case.
Seven match officials have a statistically significant bias in favour of the Colquhoun cartel while three other referees hover just below the threshold of statistical significance.

REDACTED are particularly problematical.

Now.

There is obviously a line of argument which suggests that we are dealing with an extremely unlikely statistical outlier that, in a freak of probabilistic chaos, by a weird fluke happens to suggest such a template.

A bit like tossing a coin time after time and it always coming up heads.
It's almost as if the PGMOL is a two-headed coin in that case!

But.

There is another analytical route that creates further issues and that is the referees who show marked bias for or against a particular club in the manner of Beaton in the Scottish Premiership or the targeting of Jose Mourinho by Jonathan Moss (on behalf of Colquhoun) due to the Portuguese disclosing corruption structures in the EPL.

We have jested in the past that Michael Oliver's real name should be Michael Oliverpool after his obviously unconscious bias in favour of the Merseyside giants.
In recent times, this bias has played a much lesser role for reasons we explore further below.

But there are some club / referee links that really do need explaining.

Jarred Gillett should never be referee or VAR Official on Newcastle United games.
His decision-making is evidently biased.
There is no other example of such club bias by a match official in any other top league.

But.

It is worse than that.

Every single PGMOL match official who exhibits a fluke bias in favour of Colquhoun cartel clubs versus the remainder of the league also, by complete magic, has their proprietary decision-making and match outcome in existence pre-match in certain betting markets.

That is.

When Referee X favours Colquhoun's clubs, certain bookmakers know pre-match.

There are suspicious and / or robust data on linkage between insider trading and match decisions and match result with 78% of PGMOL referees (we ignore the three recent additions to the PGMOL roster due to a lack of events to analyse)..

With some of these officials, it is early doors and there is not enough data to make a public assertion as to the integrity of the particular referee.
But there are a core group of PGMOL match officials who are evidently trading on the corruption that they are about to perpetrate.
And this doesn't only exist in the Premier League but in Champions League games too where certain English match officials distort outcomes via 'interesting' decisions that, purely by chance, align with certain betting activity in certain betting markets.

We have been given solid evidence that some PGMOL officials have contracts with some bookmakers.
Some of these corrupt liaisons have existed for several seasons.

In acts of utter idiocy, the worst offending officials cannot help further enhancing their rogue earnings by profiting additionally via proxy trading their knowledge in the public markets.
As with many criminal structures, excessive greed is often the straw that breaks corruption's back.

And the same market makers come up again and again proving that some bookmakers have contracts with a significant percentage of PGMOL officials.

So.

Let's move this holistic analysis forwards by looking at Premier League teams who insider trade their own matches, in some cases trading against their own club's interests to the detriment of fans and the integrity of the sport.

Every single club in Colquhoun's cartel monetise match outcomes via insider trading.
The most egregious culprits are Manchester United and Crystal Palace who link with several bookmakers. But other more refined approaches exist at other clubs.

And.

Lo and fucking behold, it is the same grouping of global bookmakers who assist in this club-based insider trading as with the referee-based corruption.

At this stage, it is necessary to point out that our cover of describing these structures as fluke is not strong enough...
... what we are getting ready to deal on here is a systemic corruption which entirely destroys any validity in the EPL.

There is no sophistication to this systemic corruption but the data, the integration, the evidences, the intercepts and transcripts are robust and all point to the same point on the compass...
... the point named 'organised crime'.

There are other modular corruptions too existing around BT Sport / TNT Sports and Sky Sports events but those orchestrated corruptions are not for this time or place.

A vital input to allow this degree of matchfixing and corruption to occur is the selection of the match officials for Premier League (and Champions League, for that matter) events.

The infrastructure described above is only performative due to the appointments made by the PGMOL and due to the very small roster of officials that are within the Select Group.

We have been given evidence demonstrating that a low level machine learning approach is utilised in referee selection for Premier League games.
There is particular focus on the live televised matches due to the significantly increased global betting turnover on such games and this has been added to this season by the events where Colquhoun cartel operatives require a particular outcome.

There is no meritocracy in these appointments.

The two most respected (sic) PGMOL match officials are Anthony Taylor and Michael Oliver and one or other has been involved in an unusual percentage of the integrity-lite events in the EPL this season.
Just another fluke, I guess.
And Mr Taylor and Mr Oliver really need to be explaining how the very same bookmakers that work alongside Colquhoun's club cartel also 'know' their match outcomes pre-match and the very same proxy routes to market are parallelled too.
Just another weird fluke, I guess.
REDACTED also have the same matrix of un-integrity.
These flukes just keep mounting up, don't they?

The construct we are describing here is one of orchestrated organised crime.
And these bastards are undertaking this criminality using our sport as the medium to illicit earnings.

And the organised crime groups seek greater vice-like control of their operation as, from time to time, certain match outcomes cannot be landed via referee inputs and the coercion and / or acquiescence of captured goalkeepers and / or players from the SWUC cartel of agents.

Hence the war on VAR.

The War on VAR (Originally Published On October 20th 2023)

Certain sections of the mainstream media under the control of rogue entities are waging war on VAR despite the logical disconnect that, even if VAR accidentally confirms some 'errors', it overturns many more and, as such, is a positive force for integrity in a sport that dragged its heels over the implementation of video technology in the first place.
Fortunately, Howard Webb is being proactive on the issue which makes a refreshing change after years of captured inertia under Mike 'Kipper' Riley.
So, following the uproar after a PGMOL decision went against Liverpool, Webb altered PGMOL protocols to ensure similar misunderstandings won't be repeated in future. Furthermore, Webb is pressurising IFAB to allow a revision of an erroneous decision even if play has restarted.
As IFAB is, in effect, an anachronism under the control of British football associations, this change should not be difficult to lever through.
But, in a world where integrity is gamed by nudge and nuance, this steady slicing of a sporting reality is not a permanent solution.
It simply moves the potential issue to a new location.
If, in the Spurs versus Liverpool match, Darren England had had the ability to stop play even after a restart, what happens if Spurs score a goal in that window?
There are further wormholes of chaos ahead.
This situation is entirely of the making of the likes of IFAB and the PGMOL.
If VAR had been activated on behalf of football rather than to the benefit of organised crime and matchfixing, we wouldn't have these inappropriate infrastructures imposing surreal realities on the spectacles at play.
Mark Bullingham, the captured CEO of the Football Association (FA), moves further and suggests that VAR audio links should be made available in real time.
Bizarrely, Bullingham informs us that the marketing and commercial people in football wish for this to happen while the referees are against it.
Now why would that be?
Narcissism seems a constant with match officials from Webb downwards and they never miss a chance to recognise their image on the stadium screens so why would they have any problem with more fame, more public acceptance, more chance to put the record straight, more money after their career has ended etc etc.
FIFA is currently trialing an open mike approach to VAR although after usage in the Club World Cup last February it was decided against utilising the open links for the Women's World Cup with fans not able to hear all the discussions between match officials.
But the Premier League needs to be asking itself why it is the only league that has been unable to suitably integrate VAR into the game while insiders are making colossal profits trading on the lack of integrity at play.
When studying for my Ph.D in 1995, Professor Neville Topham, on hearing that I was moving the field of my analytics from horseracing to football, kindly pointed me in a suitable direction: "Monitor the referees".
He provided me with evidences in support of this attitude and my Network have been monitoring referee-led corruption in football ever since.
If the professor behind the Centre for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming knew that referees were corrupting football nearly three decades ago, one might think that government, media, institutions and other authorities could have caught on in the intervening period.
Dream on.
We live in a sporting kleptocracy.

A-VAR-icious - In Remembrance Of A Robust Systemic Corruption, Organised Crime Goes Over The Top (Originally Published On November 11th 2023)

Jamie Carragher: "VAR is ruining football - we must limit its use now"
Des Lynam: "VAR is ruining my love of football - let's put it on ice for the season"
Erik Ten Hag (on VAR after death in Copenhagen): "Football was never meant to be like this"
The Guardian: "VAR up for discussion again"
Mikel Arteta describes current VAR system as "embarrassing" and "a disgrace"
Ange Postecoglou on VAR: "I don't like it"
Brendan Rodgers: "I would scrap VAR right now and go back to pure football"
Eddie Howe felt that Newcastle's win over Arsenal was "overshadowed" by VAR controversy
The Guardian: "Premier League managers want VARs to be assigned to specific refereeing teams"
As John Colquhoun's mobsters and associates lob grenades at referees, VAR and the rules of the game, fans are left wondering why football journalism in this country is so captured.
English football will always come up with new ways to corrupt the sport. You just can't stop them - corruption simply finds a way.
So, in the week where we got a glimpse of what the Swiss System will bring to Champions League 'Group' matches next season, Colquhoun creates fallacies in furtherance of his own psychopathic ambitions.
Of the above quotes...
... the Guardian football output is entirely under the control of Colquhoun's minions, Carragher is represented by corrupt agents Wasserman, Arteta is represented by corrupt agents Wasserman, Howe is represented by corrupt agents Wasserman, Postecoglou is represented by linked corrupt agent CAA - Base, Rodgers is owned by Colquhoun, Ten Hag is under Colquhoun's thumb and Lynam is used by Colquhoun for proprietary output in the Telegraph. And, obviously, Colquhoun is linked with Wasserman having sold his agency to the Americans.
So, not football hating VAR but organised crime hating VAR.
A very different narrative.
If you could take a time machine back to when football wasn't corrupt, you could explain to the fan the honour that she / he should feel that this beautiful sport would eventually be used as a mechanism for systemic corruption organised by, well, organised crime groups (OCGs).
This last week has witnessed Colquhoun's serial control of media output morphing into a media terrorism. Can you negotiate with terrorists? Does football want those conversations? Or does the English game want a return to the status quo of the entirely controlled systemic corruption that existed before the very delayed and very manipulated introduction of video technology into the English game?
Aside from the captured bunch of reprobates mentioned at the onset of this article, there is another key squadron involved in the deliberate undermining of VAR, corrupted match officials.
And the spectacles of failure, by a complete mystery, are nearly always in the Sky Sports / BT Sport - TNT live televised events.
VAR's 'failings' are produced by OCGs in the glare of maximum publicity.
It would almost appear to the untrained eye that this failure of VAR is a deliberate terrorist act carried out on the orders of organised crime.
Now why would organised crime be doing that?
OCGs want the smallest nucleus of corrupt inputs to their systemic crimes - more mouths equals more leaks whereas a tight-knit group of captured entities has greater longevity of performativity.
If VAR is scrapped then more power will exist in the hands of the on-field referee and we will witness a return to the bad old days of referees corrupting games without technology coming to integrity's rescue.
Insider trading and matchfixing will increase.
Integrity will decrease.
The quote regarding what Premier League managers desire comes from the the LMA chief executive Richard Bevan, a serial liar if ever there was one.
Being quoted (inevitably) in the Guardian, Bevan pushes for two things.
Firstly that the referee squads should be a permanent structure i.e. the same referees, assistants, 4th Official and VAR Official to work together on all games.
The benefit, supposedly, is that this will increase professionalism while, actually, it will increase systemic corruption.
Secondly, Bevan wants a clearer description of what a "clear and obvious" error represents.
This merely will reduce the power of VAR to correct corruptions errors perpetrated by the on-field operative.
The Football Is Fixed Network have got a lot of stuff on Bevan...
... he is not a man to speak of integrity, he is not a man to be CEO of anything at all, he is not a man who has football's best interests at heart.
Colquhoun's defining 'strategy' is a disaster capitalism template.
As with all terrorists (state, corporate or revolutionary), he hurls bombs onto innocents while laughing psychopathically at the devastation he causes to his own benefit.
Colquhoun has never achieved anything other than this corporate / organised crime terrorism.
It is his raison d'etre.
Lurking in the shadows, murdering the sport that gave him a career, terrorising whistleblowers and other integrity loci in the game.
As we share data dumps on Colquhoun with various institutions, our Remembrance Day message would have to include the words "If Colquhoun does turn out to be one of the fallen, we know exactly what this selfless martyr would expect fans to say. Thank you Mr Mafia Man. Thank you for your service to the sport".

The Hunger Games - If You're Not At The Table, You're On The Menu

Howard Devoto: "Shot by both sides, we must have come to a secret understanding"

Organised crime reveals its presence in a very wide array of manners.

For example, in the absence...

The captured output of the football section of the Guardian newspaper under Colquhoun's control reported Roberto De Zerbi's above quote on referees as: "I don't like referees" which is an 'intriguing' filtration of the actual quote which was: "I don't like 80% of Premier League referees."

Or, in the inversion...

Once a criminalised template is publicly exposed, the rogue operation directly invert the said template to place doubt in the mind of outsiders monitoring the situation. This matrix is the one utilised by the corrupt and fascist Israeli government in the genocide in Gaza.
Mr Colquhoun also extensively runs with this prank - see Beaton / Rangers above.
Much of whistleblowing a systemic corruption comes down to an elaborate game of whack-a-mole as the mafia morphs.

Similarly, in the branding...

It remains one of the more hilarious developments in the demise of English football that the PGMOL changed it's acronym from PGMOB at exactly the same time as the mob moved into the refereeing body.

Years later we are looking at a holographic battlefield with Tony Bloom in the blue corner and John Colquhoun and the pgMOBsters in the red corner.

Seconds out... Round 1.

The Football Is Fixed Network evidently have issues with Mr Colquhoun.

Aside from the systemic corruption and his monetising of criminal practices, he has also used threats and menaces against me and my Network, he has trolled us, he despatches Rangers Media thugs to my home, he has attempted to infiltrate my family and my grouping, he has destroyed high level consultancy projects by sharing fake and nefarious information and, worst of all, there was an attempt on my life in June 2019.

Mr Colquhoun is a British equivalent of Yorgen Fenech, the crime operative who oversaw the assassination of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta in October 2017 on behalf of his mafia state accomplices ex-prime minister Joseph Muscat and his odious chief of staff Keith Schembri.

This brave man combines gambling interests, state mafia activities, money laundering, organised crime & assassination

In November 2019, Fenech (who is bred from a mafia dynasty in Malta) was arrested over the blowing up of Caruana Galizia's car which led to her death.

One of Fenech's business interests was in the Dubai-registered company 17 Black which was exposed in the Panama Papers.
The Daphne Project has been presented with emails showing that 17 Black had transferred 2 million euros to two Panama shell companies linked to Schembri and another government minister Konrad Mizzi for unspecified services.

In the aftermath of Daphne's murder, Fenech attempted to escape Malta on his private yacht before being intercepted and arrested as a "person of interest" in Caruana Galizia's murder.
He sought to plea bargain information for immunity without success.

Like all psychopaths, Fenech is a fearful shell of a human being.

Fenech has been charged with complicity in Daphne's murder and bail has been refused in a case that is still ongoing and also includes Schembri together with Adrian Vella who acted as middle man between the mafia state and the organised crime ring around Fenech.

Fenech is also being investigated for fraud and money laundering and repeated applications for bail have been denied as it is known that he is seeking to get to the USA, has transferred much of his wealth into non-traceable cryptocurrencies and has purchased grenades and cyanide.
Nice guy.

The parallels between mafia operations in Malta and mafia operations in the UK are striking.
Much of the corruption destroying integrity in British football is routed through the crime island of Malta with a whole cabal of bookmakers, pan-European criminals on golden passport schemes and football agents who coerce third party owned footballers who are, in effect, treated as economic slaves in a mafia-led sport.

Daphne Caruana Galizia lost her life through her supreme investigative journalism while the perpetrators of her murder have lost access to freedom but, no doubt, will be able to bribe and kickback a way to a future life beyond prison walls.

All that the likes of Muscat, Schembri and Mizzi will lose is their reputation and their legacy.
They are already in the history books as mafia scum.

Mr Colquhoun quite fancies a legacy.
He establishes public interest bodies on behalf of clients in an attempt to disguise the organised crime that is his sole contribution to the hyperreality.

And, if the hit-and-run attempt on my life had been successful, he too would have only really lost that legacy and access to the state gong that he seeks for "services to football".

As whistleblowers, this was as much as we could expect...
... a posthumous moral victory.

Or stalemate.

The Football Is Fixed Network have changed strategy since 2019.

Firstly, we shared all of our historical and ongoing current evidences of Colquhoun's criminality with a web of entities worldwide so that any further attempt at violence would be a mutually assured destruction.
Secondly, we actively sought messengers and placed sleepers in pertinent bodies in the Colquhoun universe. These operatives provide my colleagues with information in real time.
And, thirdly and most recently, we have been dropping data dumps of Colquhoun betting patterns, tax interests, organised crime activities onto unsuspecting core people in the world of football.

We are quite comfortable with the mutually assured destruction option as we have nothing to lose in comparison with the OCGs.

So.

The Football Is Fixed Network have pledged allegiance to Tony Bloom for the duration of this war.

Now.

Like Daphne Caruana Galizia, I have "been swimming upstream for thirty years".

Bloom and I also go back three decades to when he was the first European trader to enter the South East Asian marketplace and served as my broker. It was Bloom who first informed me that I was the best sports analyst on the planet but our burgeoning interaction was destructed by Mr Bloom's repeated power plays and manipulations against my interests. We eventually separated our links after a Romanian hacker associate uncovered a variety of shenanigans at Premierbet (Bloom's former betting company) in 2006.

In the aftermath, we would each occasionally shoot across one another's bows.
But one thing remained a constant.
Tony Bloom is by a significant distance the most strategic operator in the football world.
Aside from my late lawyer David McNeight, he is the only genius that my Network have come across in the world of football.

Obviously, the beauty of Brighton and Hove Albion as a football club is testament to a sport under his jurisdiction while...
... in comparison, the organised crime chaos at Manchester United is indicative of Colquhoun's vision for the future of the game.

Despite The FA Cup Semi Final Defeat, Brighton & Hove Albion Are The Future Of Football, Manchester United Are Not (Originally Published April 24th 2023)

                                                The Man, The Partnership, The Dream

Magicians and maestros versus bland thuggery and corruption.
A supremely strategic manager operating under the only genius in UK football, Tony Bloom versus a pseudo fake narcissist of a manager operating under absentee landlords and the criminal fringe.
An owner who generated his own wealth and saved his beloved club from extinction versus owners who utilised a leveraged buyout to steal money from the club.
An owner who is already planning for 2030 versus owners who aren't really sure what's going on today.
Brighton & Hove Albion are a David fighting a sea of Goliaths versus Manchester United being at the top tier of the G14 grouping of clubs and a primary mover behind the establishment of the European Super League against the wishes of their supporters.
Bloom's bravery and lack of fear versus Colquhoun's cowardice and innate fear
Professionally proactive versus regressively reactive.
No Steve McClaren versus Steve McClaren.
No John Colquhoun versus John Colquhoun.
Tony Bloom runs the Tony Bloom Foundation providing charitable support versus John Colquhoun runs fake media campaigns addressing societal issues he has no interest in to enhance his reputation management.
A club that utilises bespoke marginal gains versus a club that misuses peripheral marginal gains.
A thorough understanding of analytics and artificial intelligence versus illicit manipulations and a lack of any discernible intelligence.
Excellence in the transfer market unearthing gems from around the world versus incompetence in transfers controlled by rogue agents eager to inflate their percentage.
5 million euros for Caicedo and 5 million euros for Mac Allister versus 87 million euros for Maguire and 85 million euros for Sancho.
A club upper hierarchy that has created unique new tactics on the field of play versus a club that brings Wout Weghorst onto the field of play.
No money leeches out of the club to inappropriate entities versus owners, agents, certain players, management, club agent and the criminal fringe all taking their slice of the action.
A goalkeeper who has an incredibly neat hipster beard versus a goalkeeper who doesn't and whose wife thinks that Manchester looks like the back of a fridge.
A club that would be in the Champions League positions without the machinations of the PGMOL versus a club that wouldn't be in the Champions League positions without the machinations of the PGMOL.
Ability to read the underground betting markets versus a bunch of matchfixing insider traders.
Poetry in motion versus chaos and commotion.
Lateral thinking and creativity versus unsophisticated doping and referee control.
No envy of any other entity versus Manchester City envy.
Fans who are proud of their city's gay culture and are joyous at their new status versus glory seeking geographically distributed fans who long for yesterday and sing songs about the Hillsborough Disaster.
A club that is a collection of buy signals versus a club that can only be hedged or short sold.
A return to the beautiful game versus a destruction of integrity in the game.
A supreme brand versus a permanently tarnished brand.
Brighton & Hove Albion are the future of football, Manchester United are not.

So the ultimate fight is between strategy / integrity and corruption / organised crime.

The following section is REDACTED for security imperatives.

Too Many Cooks Spoil The Broth - The Art Of War

Hiram Johnson: "The first casualty, when war comes, is truth"

Nesrine Malik: "The lesson from Gaza is brutal and short: human rights are not universal and international law is arbitrarily applied"

Where There Is Organised Crime, Captured Institutions And No Regulation... There Is Systemic Corruption

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.

The Premier League turns Stalinist in its power grabs.
The FA becomes Orwellian in its arbitrary application of the alleged rules.
The PGMOL also hark back to 1984 in their threat to take legal action against those who doubt the integrity of EPL match officials.
The government becomes captured in its kleptocratic state.
While mafia bodies oppose any rule of law...
... in life and in football.

Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester has written to the government and the Premier League claiming that the latter has undertaken "regulatory malpractice" by introducing a sanctions policy while the disciplinary process is still in motion.
Burnham believes the 10 point deduction bestowed on Everton FC is a pathetic attempt by the mafia controlled upper levels of the sport to show that IREF is not needed.

Trust the mafia to regulate themselves is the cry.

As the entire Premier League abuse of process results in there being no policy basis for any punishment of any club, it equally denies any appeal as the punishment is arbitrary and so too would be any appeal.
There is no construct that is performative to the appeal because Richard Masters and the mafia make it up as they go along.

This is the whole purpose for establishing IREF - to clean up the English sport and reduce power-based arbitrariness in decision making.

Martin Samuels: "But Everton broke the rules. Well, yes they did, but no they didn't. They broke the Premier League's grandly named profit and sustainability regulations and that carries a punishment. We all understand this, even if we don't agree. Yet the profit and sustainability rules are a false construct, shaped by the richest and most powerful so they stay at the top and keep the upstarts down. They are protectionist, anti-competition and serve only an established elite. They are the real crime in football. So, yes, Everton fell foul of them. But ten points? Really?

When Liverpool stole proprietary information from Manchester City Analytics and paid a £1 million fine to City without admitting guilt, the Premier League sat on its hands.
When Manchester United were morphing into an organised crime entity, the EPL diverted its gaze.

But.

When John Colquhoun coerced a Portuguese hacker into providing some of the inputs behind the highly selective Football Leaks disclosures, this mafia-based arbitrary process was allowed to run and run and still continues to slush around Manchester City to this day.

And Chelsea too are to be targeted, in effect, for the simple reason that the club refused to allow organised crime entities to control the club in the post-Abramovich era.

Surely these punishment structures directly under the mafia jackboot are exactly the reason why IREF is a critical necessity for the sport.

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 the arbitrariness utterly destroys the sport.

If mafia entities in coke-filled rooms can decide based upon criminalised hidden agendas who gets punished (and to what extent) and who walks free 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.

If Colquhoun succeeds in his psychopathy, the entire sport will fragment along an array of fault lines.

As sociopaths have an inability to undertake robust strategy, this appears not to have dawned on Colquhoun to date.

If Manchester City are demoted on arbitrary rulings by a captured entity then it will merely accelerate the process of a Saudi / US World Super League from which UK-based organised crime will be completely excluded.

In his self-harming deconstruction of beauty, Colquhoun will be left manipulating the outcomes of Luton Town versus Crystal Palace while bookmakers, punters and the entire sporting world will have turned their gaze to Barcelona versus Manchester City live in Dubai.

In recent years, most of Football Is Fixed's output has been directed not at the fans but at the perpetrators of the systemic corruption.
The fans, at many clubs, are a part of the problem in that they will collectively turn a blind eye to corruption if such corruption is to the benefit of their team - think Newcastle United.

The Gaza genocide has impacted upon this fan myopia.

Real Sociedad, Chile, Livorno, Athletic Bilbao, AC Milan, Rayo Vallecano, Liverpool and Glasgow Celtic's supporters have all stood up for those whom international law and western democracy have sacrificed on the altar of a military industrial corporate zionist evangelical fascism.

Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Everton fans are standing up against institutional abuses from UEFA and / or the Premier League.

And it is the excellent Green Brigade on the North Curve at Celtic who epitomise this battle.

After a truly astounding display of support for the victims of genocide in Palestine in the UCL match versus Atletico Madrid, the PLC Board at the club banned all members of the Green Brigade from attending games.

This pathetic divide and rule policy was intended to split the support by claiming that standing up to a militaristic fascism was damaging to the club.
This attempt at strategy was poorly judged.

Although mainstream media paraded Andy Walker and Roddy Forsyth to put forward the PLC Board's opinion, the Celtic fans are still united behind Palestine.
Celtic was founded by immigrants and Irish support for Palestine is in recognition of a shared history under colonial or apartheid regimes.

Rod Stewart (are all Rod's fucked up) gave the finger to Green Brigade members prior to the Motherwell game...
... but then again, the peroxide narcissist regularly performed in apartheid South Africa and still performs in apartheid Israel.

For the money, of course.

And the PLC Board at Celtic not only made the wrong call as viewed from the fan base but it was self-harming to the club they claim to govern - in the period of the ban, Celtic won just 6 out of eleven games conceding 17 goals in the process while, since the return of a fan group that raised £20,00 for Gaza's bombed hospitals, Celtic have won all four games with only one goal scored by the huns.

And that is why the image of the Everton fans' banner at the onset of this section is so poignant - money is the problem.

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..

And to return to Everton, the whole attempt by the Premier League was to destabilise the club - the announcement of sanctions coming 24 hours after the death of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright while rogue US entity 777 hovered in the quagmire awaiting to asset strip their new toy, in effect, profiting from relegation and demise as they have already done with Hertha Berlin and Genoa.

It all comes down to a control of power, money and greed...
... and the ensuing systemic corruption is the football fan's reward for acquiescence.

Anyway.

Back to IREF...

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 attempts to prevent the establishment of IREF even slosh around the doorstep of England manager Gareth Southgate.

Southgate decided that his opinion was necessary in the VAR pseudo-debate and, being entirely captured by rogue forces, he has combined VAR with the independent regulator IREF by making the infantile assertion that IREF will be "another VAR".

Here's a couple of posts from some years back on Mr Southgate.
Integrity isn't his strong suit.


Everything, of course, is quantum.
The Football Is Fixed Network are entangled with Colquhoun.
When he inverts corruption structures on our bidding, he provides proof of this Einsteinian "spooky action at a distance".

Betting markets are also quantum.
Carefully structured markets are subject to a type of uncertainty principle in that the insider trading adjusts the reality of the market i.e. the taking of a measurement or of a privileged market position affects the thing being measured or the efficacy of the market price.

Corrupted insider trading is hence quantum too.

We are interested in the concept of money at the moment and, as stated previously, our species developed money as a quantum token around Aristotle's era.

Sir Roger Penrose (one of the finest Cosmologists) claims our brains are quantum computers and that we possess a quantum consciousness.
I would add that as one of the four multiversal infrastructures is also quantum then we are, in effect, plugged into the multiverse via both quantum effects and consciousness.

As we have become more and more hyperreal as a species, we have lost the ability to utilise intuition, multiversal consciousness and quantum physics to aid our existences.

At Aristotle's time, humans were unwittingly more tied to these physical realities as life wasn't so distorted by the fake that surrounds us today.

In a nice little feedback loop, it is that ancient linkage to a quantum consciousness that makes money into the quantum token that it is.

Our species had forgotten this reality in our abyss of abnormality!

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 this 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.

We offer a solution to their problem.

If IREF is effectively delayed or sidelined by OCGs then our Network will steadily dump data, evidences, hacks, intercepts, transcripts etc onto those associated with this nascent regulator.

In a game theorised neohyperreality this is the mutually assured destruction route.

However.

If organised crime groups were capable of strategic planning, they might laterally think their problem as follows...

Allow IREF to be established but make it performative to the soft power entity that is the Premier League.
Britain hasn't got much going for it - a criminal arms industry, a corrupted City of London, a kleptocratic state, widespread racism and xenophobia, huge income inequalities and the omnipresence of the fucking freemasons - so a beacon of light emanates from the music industry and from football.

The state does not wish for this glow to be dimmed.

We offer a return to the whack-a-mole - employ members of the Football Is Fixed Network in the background, in the shadows where we will point out to IREF in real time where the corruptions are occurring and where loopholes of criminality exist.

These memoranda of anti-corruption would not be made public and may then be utilised to consolidate what, in effect, will remain a systemically corrupt template but each positive adjustment to the sport will result in an incremental increase in integrity in the game.

The state will have its soft power construct intact.
The mafia will still take their slice of the action.
Football will be less corrupt than it is at the moment.
Win-win-win.

As we have stated...
... we are whistleblowers but we are quantum entangled with the mafia and a terrorist state whether we like it or not.

Living In The End Times (Originally Published December 23rd 2023)

Barabas from Christopher Marlowe's 'The Jew Of Malta' : "From little unto more, from more to most"

John Colquhoun - a tacky souvenir of a sport living in the end times. The organised crime of the century; nothing to pay until the four horsemen of the apocalypse arrive... save pounds while integrity lasts. Get your exclusive, pull-out, pop-up, E-free, free-E, ecologically sound, colourful, full colour, sensational, unique, unmissable, corruption... now 0% finance; free bet offer. It's so easy. Corrupt now; worry later.
Living in the end times. The cruel circus is in town. Designer disasters. Comics for newspapers. Crime as PR. Spectacular psychopathic pride. Crimewatch. Homewatch. Bio-degradable integrity. Ozone-friendly private jets. Charity as a corruption accessory. Early morning gymnasium. Wasserman man. Guardian of the game. A happy go lucky ray of sunshine shining out of his arse. Tomorrow's another day. Matchfixing mania. Televised scams. Trade via catalysts into the dark pools and into the dark web. Media-endorsed disguised homophobia. Offshore banking. Client bonking. PR religion. John Stones clones. Junkie punk-poets peddling commentaries and opinions. Computer created outcomes. 'Acceptable' corruption accepted by the fan. The ultimate criminalisation of all that is most obviously of beauty.
Living in the end times. Karen Carney is Queen; Jordan Henderson is King; Fame is everything. Ask the man who smashed every window in the high street thinking he was on I'm A Celebrity. Yet there's worse still. Hyped-up, honed-down, heavily marketed pseudo-competitions from mafia who think they are the Ndrangheta of the Premier League.
Like us and this? NO WAY!
If we wanted to dig our own graves we'd be out there shovelling... not wasting our last moments publishing Football Is Fixed, a whistleblowing and direct action travel agent offering tour guides to the abyss of abnormality
And systemic corruption? Merely a forerunner of what is to come from this inspirational sociopath hiding on the shady side of the valley.
Living in the end times. The beautiful game to a winter of discontent. And now John Colquhoun. Another disposable tacky souvenir of our culturally-imperialistic Premier League / Champions League / Championship age. John Colquhoun claims neither to start a revolution nor end one. Simply he organises organised crime in the football grounds and studios and press rooms of London, Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and Liverpool!
John Colquhoun, a tacky souvenir of a sport living in the end times. The corruption of the century; nothing to pay until Europol come calling.
