Why are the Metropolitan Police not feeling Tory Lord Sebastian Coe’s collar and trawling his hard drives? I blogged recently about his involvement in awarding the World Athletics Championships without a vote to the hometown of his long term paymasters and sponsors, Nike. Plus the £12 million his promotions company made from VIP hospitality packages for the Olympics, the VIP tickets for which were allocated by the Organising Committee of which he was the £600,000 pa chairman.
Now we have this, from the person Coe works closest with in the IAAF and who he has now promoted to head the President’s office since Coe assumed that title:
« Dear Papa,
Following our discussion earlier I have already had some thoughts and believe that we need to do the following, in the strict confidence and control within a small circle of senior IAAF staff only. This must be very secret.
(…)4. Finally, as soon as possible, and ‘unofficially’ PR campaign to ensure that we avoid international media scandals related to the Moscow Championships especially in the British press, where the worst of the articles is coming from. This will require specialist PR skills (working only with me directly) from London, but I believe that if we consider using CSM we can also benefit from Seb’s political influence in the UK. It is in his personal interest to ensure that the Moscow World Champs is a success and that people do not think that the media of his own country are trying to destroy it. We can work extremely hard in stopping any planed ‘attack’ on Russia from the British press in the coming weeks.
5. Finally, I need to be able to sit down with the Anti-doping department and understand exactly what Russian ‘skeleton’ we have still in the cupboard regarding doping. I think that the time to have unveiled the various athletes was a long time ago and that now we need to be smart. These athletes, of course, should NOT be part of any Russian team for these World Championships and Valentin should be pressurised to make sure this is the case. If the guilty ones are not competing then we might as well wait until the event is over to announce them. Or we announce one or two BUT AT THE SAME TIME as athletes from other countries. Also we can prepare a special dossier on IAAF testing which will show that one of the reasons why these Russian athletes come up positive is that they get tested a lot !!! In the same way, we can make the point that the WADA laboratory is the responsibility of WADA not IAAF and that if WADA decides there really is a problem, we have a plan B to do the tests in Lausanne instead (Gabriel confirmed this to me yesterday).
Papa, as soon as I have an idea of the price of this unofficial PR campaign I will let you know, but I will do everything in my power to protect the IAAF and the President.
All the best Nick »
So what does the Establishment now wish us to believe?
a) As long-term Vice President of the IAAF, Coe had no idea the organisation was massively corrupt and the President was taking huge bribes to cover-up doping scandals.
b) Coe had no idea his close associate and now head of his office Nick Davies was writing to the son of the President proposing that Coe’s company and Coe’s “political influence” be used to keep doping scandals out of the British media.
c) Coe’s meeting, while Vice President of the IAAF, with executives of his sponsor Nike, to discuss awarding the World Athletics Championships to Eugene, had no bearing at all on the decision of the President of IAAF to award the games to Eugene without a vote.
All that is even less convincing than Sepp Blatter’s declarations of innocence. Yet there is an utter difference in the British media’s treatment of Blatter and of “Lord” Coe.
I wonder why?
Conspiracy theory is of course a speculative hypothesis; when proven it’s like losing your virginity, once you’ve done it, you can’t go back. If you try, you face a credibility spiral:
Were you lying then or are you lying now?
For instance PM Blair underestimated the probability of future abominable events in Iraq after fitting the facts around policy . Blair’s weak mindset ensured emotional stress from the US that amplified this miscalculation. People will favor decisions that preempt short-term social discomfort even at the cost of heightened long-term risks.
Regardless of the burden on future generations.

Well, folks I did watch the video. Nothing unusual about it as Rob is suggesting. Please watch the 17m yourself. Its very poignant as you would expect.
Rob, what is your issue with the interview? Can you be specific about it and defend your contemptible allusion that it was all ‘faked’?
Btw Rob does the G in your name stand for GOON?
Fred, see my above comment to Kempe.
So why didn’t we see it on the wall to wall live ‘news’ on the BBC, Sky, et al. I mean, they gave blanket coverage to last month’s events in Paris, in a Dr Goebbels kind of way, so why don’t we see tv footage of the funerals as well? instead of dubious photos and even more dubious column inches that you and Kempe link to?
Just asking…
What did I say?
Supposed photos and media whores.
🙂
Forget about being put up against the walls etc in the future.
This Goon Rob needs to be sectioned NOW!
Any little credibility he had is lost. Please watch that interesting interview with a young woman who was at the concert in the Bataclan–very riveting, indeed.
Kempe jumps into save Freds bacon, and adds that section 4 of the Mental Health needs to be invoked on certain posters in here.
A classic response from an establishment mouthpiece, intimating that anyone who questions the “official narrative” is somehow mentally defective, and therefore discredited.
It’s a technique as old as the hills, and is used the world over. The system requires you to provide proof whilst they put the onus on the questioner. However the denouncer, will go on to exaggerate your responses, in the hope of destroying your credibility.
Rule no.1 if there’s enough doubt around an event, then it must be questioned, no matter who’s involved where it occurs or who the main players are. When you begin to settle for the “official narrative” on a regular basis you become blinkered.
“Fred, see my above comment to Kempe.”
More bullshit.
You said the media hadn’t given coverage to the funerals of the victims of the Paris attacks, I proved you wrong.
You said a google search on “funeral paris attack” only returned results for the Charlie Hebbo attack and I proved you wrong.
End of story, you’re all out of credibility now.
RoS, before you go any further in defence of Rob Now christened Goon, please watch the following video that *he* linked in support of his ‘argument’. Here is is again:

What does it prove Alcyone? Is her sincerity the gospel truth? I mean the whole world watched Osama bin Laden’s funeral at sea. Was that anyless convincing? They’re are unimaginable forces at work out there, events are occuring (veracity questionable) that our parents and grandparents wouldn’t have thought of questioning.
The media and government propaganda machine, is in full flow around the globe, everything must be questioned, the Iraqi slaughter is a prime example of propaganda before truth.
RoS let’s be logical.
The goon posts a video alluding proof of fakery. The video in fact suggests otherwise.
And “I mean the whole world watched Osama bin Laden’s funeral at sea. Was that anyless convincing?” I don’t recall watching anything of the sort.
So, if the ‘official narrative’ is truthful why do they need an army of trolls, like Habba, like Anon1, like Fred, like Alcyone to parrot it? and on a relatively small web site like this? (check out my Guardian link above for the full-on troll army in the reader’s comments)
Most sentient beings will have noticed the tidal wave of trolls/vermin in recent years, which has been the icing on the cake of an already decimated Fourth Estate (whose job should be to hold power to account).
It’s called a police state, and we are now living in it.
I’m still waiting for the trolls to give me a link to footage from the BBC, Sky News, et al, of funerals from last month’s Paris victims.
Instead we have this…

RobGoon you are outed, say what you will, most people here are not just sentient, but sane. Not you goon.
Rule No.1 for the truther is to conclude that everything is faked; cherry pick what evidence might support that pre-conceived conclusion and reject the rest on some spurious grounds.
You ask for links to the BBC and Sky coverage of the funerals and there’s plenty put there but aren’t they, in your eyes, as bad a bunch of CIA media whores as CNN?
Oh and some bad news for you. I know truthers have to believe that anyone who opposes them must be a paid government shill. For one thing it’s easy to dismiss such as a person without engaging with what they have to say and of course it adds to your false sense of self esteem to believe that those evil PTB are frightened enough of you to pay people to post here and elsewhere. Sadly it isn’t true. I’ve never met Fred or Anon or Habba, we don’t share the same office at GCHQ and I for one don’t get paid for doing this. I do it purely for my own amusement.

Vous habitez la France. Pourquoi demandez vous des liens anglophones pour clarifier ce qui se passe là? Allez vérifier sur site
Alcyone, you can insult me all you want; I don’t give a stuff, and will be there in the courtroom when the likes of you are put on trial.
I’ll repeat my earlier link, which is a 15 minute interview with Emma Parkinson, who supposedly is a survivor of the Paris Bataclan theatre attack…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNUPWW63OyM
This interview was done barely a week after the terror attacks took place. Does Ms Parkinson look like someone who’s been through that kind of horror? (and Ms Parkinson has no trace on the internet) Why is there no mobile phone footage of these attacks? Just about everyone at a rock concert thesedays films it on their phone; and talking of which, who are this Eagles of Bullshit band, performing on Friday 13th?
These are the questions that sentient beings ask; the same questions that security state trolls try to bat off into the outer field using ad hominem.
Paris, Friday 13th, has false flag written all over it.
I’m sure the trolls are suffering indigestion from their Christmas turkey.
But don’t worry, in prison all you’ll get is gruel.
And before you ask which office I work in, I’d just like to add that like many here I am just someone who has known Craig well enough in the past that I feel he deserves to have evidence in the comments section of the blog that at least some of the readership are sane.
You’re a long time with that gun given that you don’t have that far to come
Rob G
“False flag” does not mean that it did not happen. It just means that those who did the real killings pretended to be other than they actually were eg the Germans disguised as Poles who started WWII.

A nice sentiment Alcyone in a illogical world.
The media is a prime example of this, events can be perceived to suit a certain narrative, for a glimpse behind the curtain, you only have to look at who owns those giant propaganda machines.
If you can even remotely narrow down their agenda then such as Genie oil in the Golan Heights, combined with the ISIS propaganda, in the West, that’s allowing corporation led war machine to try and regime change in Syria, then you can piece bits together.
Certain events are used to drum up support, from the public to allow the war machine to be deployed, the media convey this message.
@Why be ordinary?
I’m posting on an English language web site, and whilst I realise that a number of people here can read/speak French, I would guess that the majority don’t.
And as for the French mainstream media, they are even more whorish than the British media (if that’s possible!) when it comes to being lapdogs of the Establishment.
Prediction : if Hollande tries to write the emergency measures permanently into law (there’ll be a vote on it in January) there will be revolution in France. America is also on the verge of revolution, because people have had enough of endless war and paying 63 cents out of every tax dollar for it while the country is falling apart (ironically, this revolution will be led by the American military). People in the UK will probably just keep waving union jacks while saying how wonderful the royal family are.
As always, you couldn’t make it up.
@Why be ordinary?
Tous mes voisins sont le français.
Get out of here, troll.
“Certain events are used to drum up support, from the public to allow the war machine to be deployed, the media convey this message.”
Does not mean that the Paris atrocities did not happen, nor that they weren’t executed by the alleged, subject to court verification.
Mind you, I’ve never been trolled in French before on an English language site, so there’s a first (and perhaps a measure of desperation from the Establishment). Ha, so here’s that Guardian link again…

I didn’t say it did, you have to look at what takes place after an event, the arrests, the curtailing of civil rights etc.
In my opinin the DGSE are a highly compitent organisation, it’s extremely unlikely that they’d be taken by surprise or have no prior knowledge. Combine that will the sophisticated assault on Paris too sophisticated for ISIS in my opinion, and of course there’s the passport, a critera it seems for most events over the last few years.
Rob G
Still doesn’t explain why you were demanding English language MSM coverage to verify the truth of things happening in France. I agree that the English language media haven’t a clue about how France really works.
I’m relieved that the US military will lead the revolution – I’m well enough reinsuered there to be your side of the courtroom
