THE REAL REASON FOR THE FIFA ARRESTS

Most Americans are completely unaware of FIFA or what it does, and only a bit more aware of the World Cup and non-US football. Unless they are school age children perhaps, the parents of same, or recent immigrants from Europe and South America.

The official reason for the US to proceed with prosecutions of FIFA this week, after a 24 year investigation, is that the payoff schemes involved some of the Wall Street Banks. Since it is unlikely that there will be any action against these same Banks, one wonders as to the reason and the timing for this.

This week FIFA was expected to sanction Israel on Wednesday for their truly terrible treatment of Palestinian football clubs. And the US was perturbed that Qatar was chosen as the 2022 World Cup host, despite their awful human rights record, and record donations to the Clinton Fund, and loyalty to the US ambitions in the Mideast. And finally, FIFA dared to award the 2018 World Cup to Moscow.

Have you noticed that this FIFA prosecution, which so few understand and care about in the States, is getting so much more media coverage than the latest massive thefts by the Banks in wholesale rigging in the forex markets, for which no one is being prosecuted and no serious reforms are being undertaken? There are risks in standing in any way against the will of an empire.

And besides, FIFA is THEIR scandal, and it serves to distract from OUR scandals.

It is just a show trial. Entertainment for the boobs. Nobody will be held accountable.

FIFA is probably the most corrupt sports organization on the planet according to my boss who is a former pro soccer player. Something needs to be done to reign in the corrupt bastards but I doubt the US getting involved has a damn thing to do with fixing the corruption. It’s probably just political bullshit or the US wants to start receiving a cut. My money is on both.

This is just the Neocons saying, loudly, “I told you dammit it’s SOCCER, only us Americans play FOOTBALL! Stop using our fucking trademarked name or I’ll send a B2 up your ass!”

Not really …

The U.S. DOJ cannot investigate Amerikan criminal wrongdoing due to the simple fact that thieves are regularly not inclined to investigate THEMSELVES, so they try to give the appearance of actually combatting crime by doing so in areas that aren’t even within their legal purview. The whole show seems extremely convincing when you have a completely controlled and complacent newsmedia to back you up.

What a joke. A stupid, silly and above all VERY TRANSPARENT attempt by the U.S. DOJ at fulfilling their dual mission of both a) NOT investigating massive Amerikan financial fraud as well as
b) fomenting the ILLUSION that the U.S. DOJ actually serves a useful purpose on this planet.

The hypocrisy is simply astonishing.

I have only two “bread & circus” pursuits …. World Cup Soccer & NCAA Basketball

The NCAA is one of the most corrupt organizations in Amerika. Just look at Univ of North Carolina … 20+ years of FAKE classes involving FOUR THOUSAND “athletes”, and it looks like UNC’s “punishment” will be little more than a slap on the wrist. Beyond shameful.

Sepptic Blatter — the guy in charge of FIFA … JUST GOT RE-ELECTED YESTERDAY!!

Well … so much for watching the World Cup next time. This world is taking all my enjoyments away from me. The end can’t come soon enough.

Well, the lesson is to never criticize or sanction Israel or the Jews. Otherwise, organized Jewry will bury you, one way or another. Just ask those languishing in European prisons who dare to challenge the Holocau$t narrative.

Don’t you love our freedoms?
