The FBI had somebody wearing a wire at the London Olympics to capture the FIFA corruption taking place in the margins. What were the British authorities doing? Nothing.
Britain prides itself as having in London the world’s leading financial centre. Substantial assets, both financial and real estate, from FIFA corruption are located in London. But Britain has taken over the crown from Switzerland as the major financial destination which will always protect ill-gotten wealth.
Alisher Usmanov played a major role as bagman for the corrupt Russian World Cup bid, particularly with delegates from FIFA’s Asian Confederation. His place as Britain’s third richest resident is very obviously based on extreme Russian corruption and he rose to power and wealth solely with the use of gangster muscle and contacts he gained and expanded while serving a prison sentence for blackmail. But he is a billionaire and beloved by the City of London so there is no danger of him ever being investigated in the UK.
That a key figure in FIFA corruption over Russia’s World Cup bid, is undisturbed in his large shareholding in Arsenal FC, says everything about the complicity of the British establishment.
Usmanov’s friend Gulnara Karimova is a startling example. She is now under formal investigation in Switzerland, France, Sweden and the Netherlands over the glaringly corrupt origins of her billions. Only a fake house arrest by her father has prevented her real arrest. Yet in the UK, where she has three homes including one in the No.1 Hyde Park criminals’ hangout, where she shops regularly and her son is at university, there is no move against her whatsoever.
I am delighted to see the moves against FIFA. But to me they illustrate very plainly what a corrupt stinking hole London has become.
Since Habb and Villager,have enjoyed my posts,and virtually downright encouraged them,here’s another.
Thanks Habb and Villager,my new fan club.
What should the US do about China’s South Sea grab.
The game has changed in the South China Sea. By sending a military aircraft to take a close-up view of the outposts China is constructing and stating it “will fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows,” the U.S. appears to have drawn a red line for Beijing.
I’m with the US on this one,although the US are culprits in this arena with regards to land and water sovereignty far afield,we do have more in common with America than China.
China is also destroying delicate eco-systems by dredging up mini atolls and reefs,to create man made airbases and small but nontheless effective military harbours.

I absolutely agree with the new drive to openly carry arms, I hope it will spread to other southern States, the more the better. It will mean more shooting, including at police, armed robberies, murders, all very encouraging for the reduction of the so called righteous. Children will continue to shoot up schools with daddies/their very own gun but the overall result will be an increase in the use of guns, an increase of the 5000 plus dead, with 1200 dead children and teenagers.
Indeed MJ, one must increase this ratio and bring home the multiple homicides the US forces are inflicting in other countries, by legal federal means such as this. Make it legal to carry handguns everywhere.
Those US citizens, living here to enjoy some of Europe’s finest, will need counseling for having been apart from their gun for too long.

Very heavy, Teutonic humour there.

Re South China Islands, the Chinese claims predate (by a thousand years) the boundaries/claims/discoveries of the three colonial powers (France,England,USA) that were inherited by Vietnam,Philippines,Malaysia,etc. CM can let us have a better insight as to where international law stands re pre-colonial “maps”.

Interesting. That wasn’t a change of email address, or IP address, it was a change of browser – that caused the change of avatar/identicon!
No, I’m a liar.
There was a different email address saved in Firefox!
This is how brainwashed and afraid the US government and media,have made the US public,towards Muslims in the USA.

“Handy hint: there is no republic called Russia. What we call Russia is in fact a federation of 40-odd republics and oblasts called the Russian Federation.”
Perhaps you might also wish to explain what is meant by Putin’s “vertical of power” as well – since none of the eminences have managed to do so before when challenged about Putin’s centralising tendencies especially when it came to his promises regarding defending minority rights in Crimea after the Anschluss.
I don#’t do teutonic humour. Forrr ziss we have our very own ambassador, Moishe Habbakuk.

Calling Ufa a Russian City is on par with calling Edinburgh a British City and its inhabitants North British I’m afraid. Some of us are able to cope with different countries belonging to a political union where powers are decentralised some like MJ,Mark Golding and Mr Putin clearly have problems with the concept.
Can you talk about Russia, specifically what you know, what you can freely say without getting stuffed in a bag and labelled a sex pervert on what is going on within government circles regarding Russia…….? The west have a huge problem that they cannot resolve.
Nice shade of purple there Dreoilin, it suits you!
Here’s a Deep Purple song for you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1PNvopXjbg
The title (not the song) is directed to RepublicofRetard; H U S H !
That bought back memories Villager – Cheers fella – performed that and ‘Black Night’ in Hakodate, Japan with ‘London Lights’.. circa 1969.
Here’s one for you – “There must be some kinder way out of here…”

Thanks Villager (not one I was familiar with) 🙂
“Calling Ufa a Russian City is on par with calling Edinburgh a British City and its inhabitants North British I’m afraid.

More please. This is almost as laughable as the Putin poisoning of Mr Kara Murza. Of course it is a Russian city with a population of 1 million plus. It has been part of Russia for longer than Scotland was part of the UK, before the existence of the United States, you know the same way Austin is the capital of the independent republic of Texas. Do you never think before you write?
Talking of the independent republic of Texas it always has been its own ‘Lone Star’ state. Some believe that the recent floods may have been engineered deliberately to keep it part of the union. Resident Dissident would not support this suggestion because he believes the HAARP stations have been closed, if I recall. However it cannot be totally dismissed and neither can the drought in California.

“Calling Ufa a Russian City is on par with calling Edinburgh a British City”
The problem with calling Ufa a Bashkortostani city is that no-one would know what you were talking about.
“Some of us are able to cope with different countries belonging to a political union where powers are decentralised”
Congratulations. I think I can cope with it too, but I’m content for the people themselves to have the final say. They know their own interests better than I do.

Yes I’ve wondered the same myself, Habbabkuk. Not to mention that his behaviour wasn’t tolerated at boarding school either. It might also explain why the old queen is so narked and frustrated the whole time.
Perhaps Mr Goss might wish to enlighten us as to why “republics” exist within the Russian Federation (or his beloved Soviet Union before that) before he sounds off with his usual ignorance or lies.
Noticeable that no one wishes to explain what Putin’s vertical of power actually means – let us not forget that Putin made Chelsea’s very own his Governor of the “Autonomous” Okrug of Chukotka, and it wasn’t to because Roman was a local – perhaps rather more to do with handing him a rather large pass to avoid paying taxes.
PS It is Bashkort not Bashkortstani
Very welcome Dreo and thanks Mark.
Those were the days!
Btw here’s one of the most poignant songs I’ve ever heard. Here comes that rainbow again. I think originally written by Kris Kristofferson and sung by The Highwaymen. Pick your version. Anyway I can never here this song just once….i have to play it again and again and…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCXK3-Hw4bo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej1I-IrHWCc
Enjoy! My heart weeps every time I hear this song…..and get a glimpse of the possibilities….Music God’s language!!!
But then I say the cut-n-pastes like the Republicof Retard and I think God what chance do we have, with people like him, devoid of sensibility and thinking he’s ‘where it’s at’. Sorry guys but I can’t suffer fools. Give me the naive as Dylan said “i’ll go where the children go’, but pseudo-intellects. Please Dear God, save us !!!
PS Yes, mark Jimi’s version of that song , for me better than Dylan’s. Recognising every comparison is false
“Noticeable that no one wishes to explain what Putin’s vertical of power actually means”
Perhaps you should explain what it actually means first, then we might some idea of what you’re talking about.
The last days of the human race are a wonder to behold. Scroll-up and read the comments.
And just to expose another of Mr Goss’s lies – perhaps he might wish to consider this report from Russian military engineers published in Novaya Gazeta – just so that he has time to prepare his apologies/jokes when the official report is finally published

Mark, Abandoned Love, Dylan-style
Masterpiece of a song, grossly underplayed and under recorded:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_b9jdjmoNE
Above with lyrics, but repeated here, pure poetry:
I can hear the turning of the key
I’ve been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was righteous but he’s vain
Oh, something’s a-telling me I wear the ball and chain
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
He’s always off somewhere when I need him most
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is a-tellin’ me I love ya still
I come back to the town from the flaming moon
I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won’t you let me in your room one time ’fore I finally disappear?
Everybody’s wearing a disguise
To hide what they’ve got left behind their eyes
But me, I can’t cover what I am
Wherever the children go I’ll follow them
I march in the parade of liberty
But as long as I love you I’m not free
How long must I suffer such abuse
Won’t you let me see you smile one time before I turn you loose?
I’ve given up the game, I’ve got to leave
The pot of gold is only make-believe
The treasure can’t be found by men who search
Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list
My head tells me it’s time to make a change
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you’re strange
One more time at midnight, near the wall
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
Won’t you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it

I look forward to Mr Goss using the same logic to argue that Grozny is a Russian city. Perhaps he should read Hadji Murad before he resorts to such broad statements as to what constitutes Russia.
