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?

Thanks, Fedup, much appreciated.
I feel that it’s up to me to present a different view. I think it probable, although hardly certain, that people who dislike Freemasons do not know many of them personally, and dislike them on the basis of what they have heard or read.
I’m not setting up to be holier than thou. I am as prone to human weakness as anyone else. But my experience has been different to the commonly accepted view of Freemasons as a conspiratorial bunch of villains bent on taking over the world. That’s all I am trying to get across.
Kind regards,
John
“John Spencer-Davis you are decent man so I won’t quarrel with you, but from my experience of freemasonry it is a venal, corrupt. nepotist bunch of ne’er-do-wells excepting yourself whom I have found to be an honourable and decent fellow.”
Fedup, I have met several decent freemasons, and some you would not know were freemasons. It is not the people who become ‘free and accepted masons’ but the set-up, entering blindly into something each knows little about.

“There have been women Freemasons for more than a hundred years.”
does not quite answer the question I am seeking an answer to. What I would like to know is are masonic and soroptomist lodges of mixed gender?
John Goss
28/12/2015 6:39pm
Smile. A perceptive question. The honest answer is no, I am afraid, but with significant qualifications. There are male only organisations of Freemasons, and there are female only organisations, and there are mixed gender organisations.
The United Grand Lodge of England is a male only organisation which recognises and accepts female only organisations as valid.
I hope that this will change in the future, and UGLE (lovely acronym) will become mixed gender.
Kind regards,
John
Today, the City State of London is the world’s ultimate centre of financial power and the wealthiest square mile on the planet.
The City is also unsurprisingly, home to the Bank of England, Lloyd’s of London, the London Stock Exchange and the headquarters of all British-based and many foreign banks. It is home to the branch offices of 385 foreign banks plus 70 US banks, as well as many newspapers and publishing monopolies.
It has controlling share of most of the world media and is to an extent privy to information from some of the worlds intelligence services, and it is from within the Crown City of London that British Freemasonry, overseen by the British Monarchy specifically the Duke of Kent (Freemasonic Grand Master), and indeed World Freemasonry is governed.
This includes the Grand Orient Masonic Order and the Washington DC version, Scottish Rite Freemasonry.
London’s “square mile” a city, within a city, even has its own, shall we call them a spy? In the House of Commons called the Rembrancer, who sits behind the speaker. The Rembrancer makes sure the square miles rights aren’t infringed in any way.
Your rights however, are another matter.

“The pernicious influence of the zionist supremacist vermin exercised through their proxies with assiduousness cultivated, sponsored and placed with the nodes of power further erodes the rights of we the people.
“The British government is set to take away a power of local councils, which allowed them to “boycott and sanction” foreign organizations or regimes such as Israel, UK media reports say.
“The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has confirmed it is drawing up new guidelines to prevent local authorities from mounting their own “boycott and sanction” campaigns. “

Yes Fedup that’s the way now. David Blunkett and Gordon Brown had the rules changed to prevent Judges from issuing warrants for suspected war criminals. This occurred when a warrant was issued for Tzipy Livni in 2009.

Well it certainly shows anti-Arab racism and hatred.
These incidents are not uncommon in Israel and the Occupied Territories but they are rarely aired prominently in the UK media.
Haaretz is a good source of information at times.
Netanyahu and Livni have condemned the video, as would be expected; such media exposure to the outside world of what Zionism stands for is an embarrassment to the “only democracy in the Middle East.”
Thanks Doug,
I think Haaretz is good too.
I must try to post more after not being on Hab’s list!
Yeahbut.
Not all Masons are created equal.
Albert Pike is dodgy, for example.
I mean, what level of Mason are you John.
I don’t exactly blame the teller at my local Santander for the horrific crimes of Banking, the IMF and World Bank.
As JFK said, not a good idea to have secret societies, especially when they’re secreted into govt and state agencies, the police and judiciary etc.
There have been slaves for far longer than 100 years, JSD, and to make out that secret organisations, fraternities of any sorts, should have a mayor bearing on a democratic and fairly elected public institution or Government is whistling into a gale.
No such thing should be allowed in local Government and or public services, ever.
Citizens would/will oppose oppression and racialism if it becomes obvious that the public sector has been used for ulterior motives and gains.
whether British subjects are allowed to use legitimate means to ‘adjust’ their local relationships with some old fashioned dinosaurs who have perverted local Government to what it is, has to be seen, it is questionable.
Herbie 28 Dec, 2015 – 8:49 pm
I have never been a freemason Herbie but I have read a few disclosures. In brief I would suggest that the higher up the degrees, Royal Arch and above, the more iffy it becomes.
I like Judge John Deed and watched a repeat last night on a channel called Drama which has been running some decent stuff over the festive season, including dramatisations of Catherine Cookson novels. Anyway, you can bet that masons at High Court and parliamentary level, are not third degree masons. There were some misappropriations going on which Deed tried to bring to justice until his son got knocked of his scooter/motorcycle by unknown persons. I am not doing the plot justice with this precis. It is much more sophisticated.
Oh dear, Fedup smoozhing cheek by cheek on the ballroom floor with lesser fuckwits.
Nobody’s complaining about social networking , like linkedin, of which I refuse to be a member.
What is objectionable is how a secret cabal can run a secret Zionist agenda, to utilise the resources of sovereign nations, the US, the UK, Europe, Canada Australia, Saudi Arabia, against other countries to refuse to belong to that cabal.
Everything is lovely so long as you commit to acquiesce to the opposite to what you stand for. acquiesce not and all of a sudden youforfeit your right to defend your state against foreign terror networks, you are a barrel bomber of your own citizens. I’d like to know how long trigger happy Cameron would restrain his withered claw from sending in the army if insurgents from Celtic separatists were running public institutions in Scotland Wales or Northern Ireland.
How come the US has a deep tradition of democracy and yet a cabal of nutter neo-cons can direct foreign policy at a tangent to accepted international law.
i can’t prove to you that this cabal, the McCains, the Nulands, the H. Clintons, Petrauses are zionist freemasons, but the existence of a freemasonry in US society is a good place to start when you are trying to understand how the cabal of neo-cons have power.
Call it something else if you like, or call it freemasonry, Putin has the right idea when he states that if it walks like a terrorist, talks like a terrorist etc… If it walks like a freemason, talks like a freemason and acts like a freemason, then it is a freemason. Both the non-Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Brotherhood. Both of them united in the project of global hegemony.
Carry on dancing, please, and move the deckchairs.

I am a Master Mason, as are all Freemasons who have advanced through the degrees of Freemasonry.
I know that large numbers of people believe that there are secret higher degrees of Freemasonry. I don’t know that, nor do I really care. No part of the Constitutions of the United Grand Lodge of England (a public document) admits of higher degrees than Master Mason. Offices of Freemasonry such as the Grand Master, presently held by the Duke of Kent – who by the way is elected – are governing and administrative functions, restricted – and this is an important point – to the government of the Craft and all matters relative to the Craft. That is as far as any Freemasonic authority extends. I take no oath of obedience to anyone except in the highly restricted sense of procedure and ritual of Freemasonry, and my first obedience in any case is to the law of my own conscience and the law of the land.
That being so, the Duke of Kent has no more right to give me orders about my behaviour as a member of civil society than I have to give him orders. If there is a secret closed fraternity of high-ranking Freemasons who are determined to pursue corrupt ambitions, I am not a part of it, and it is not enforceable on any Freemason by any laws or rules of which I am aware. I do not believe such a fraternity exists. Sorry, but I don’t.
Kind regards,
John
“I take no oath of obedience to anyone except in the highly restricted sense of procedure and ritual of Freemasonry, and my first obedience in any case is to the law of my own conscience and the law of the land.”
And if all behaved the same way little harm could come of it.
“I am a Master Mason, as are all Freemasons who have advanced through the degrees of Freemasonry.”
All third degree masons have passed through the degrees of entered apprentice, fellow craft and master mason. At third degree level all are master masons. Beyond that there are more degrees. To be a master mason you only have to pass through three degrees. Are you suggesting John that there are no degrees above third degree?
Nevermind, Lord Feldmann’s Brutal Ignorancekeeps The Nasty party In The News.
28/12/2015 10:37pm
“There have been slaves for far longer than 100 years, JSD,”
I am not sure what point you intend to make here.
“and to make out that secret organisations, fraternities of any sorts, should have a mayor bearing on a democratic and fairly elected public institution or Government is whistling into a gale.”
I don’t think that they should. I don’t think anything I have ever said implies that. I have affirmed as a Freemason to believe the opposite of that.
“No such thing should be allowed in local Government and or public services, ever.”
I fully agree with you.
“Citizens would/will oppose oppression and racialism if it becomes obvious that the public sector has been used for ulterior motives and gains.”
I certainly hope so. I would be one of them.
“whether British subjects are allowed to use legitimate means to ‘adjust’ their local relationships with some old fashioned dinosaurs who have perverted local Government to what it is, has to be seen, it is questionable.”
I don’t know what you mean by this.
Kind regards,
John

“Are you suggesting John that there are no degrees above third degree?”
I’m not suggesting it. I’m stating it as a fact. If you have evidence to the contrary I would like to see it.
Thanks, John
“I have never been a freemason Herbie but I have read a few disclosures. In brief I would suggest that the higher up the degrees, Royal Arch and above, the more iffy it becomes.”
Yes, John G.
That’s my understanding as well.
Compartmentalisation is the key to all these secret outfits.
But, and I think this is much more important these days, the same MO applies in many public bodies like NGOs and the charitable foundations and other bodies who outwardly claim to be fostering a better world.
You’ll see that with Rhodes, Milner and the Round Table etc., for example.
When I’ve asked what Masonry is for, I’ve been told that it’s a charitable body.
They didn’t explain the secrecy.
Anyway, I think it’s much more a police, military and judiciary thing in Britain these days, and there are much more important outfits, whom we should be more concerned about, who do really have an impact on public policy.
Bent cops and bent judges are a problem of course, but not quite on the level of those who seem able to change our whole way of life.
Masonry in Turkey and Italy for example still seems quite important today, but I think the US and British have found better, less secret, ways of achieving similar objectives.
John Goss
Yes he is specifically stating that. I have no connection at all to anything that smells of freemasonry, but I see and hear the workings of Muslim Brotherhood freemasonry amongst the Muslims. When a self-described political activist who has entered the UK and been granted political asylum, describes the Asian imams as ‘knowing nothing’ about the deep machinations of political Islam in the Middle East, you are witnessing the difference between Masonic masters and the level above them at which Al Qaida and Daesh are organised.
They deal with freemasons of the non-Muslim kind at the same level way above the heads of John Spencer Davis.
In blunt terms, JSD is lying, sorry to cause annoyance.
John, I am not trying to judge you because I believe you to be a good, honest and honourable man, but if you check your little book Complete Manual of Freemasonry, you may find that after the third degree there is a Mark Degree, which anyone who is not a Mark Mason is instructed to leave the lodge.
Cowardly Israeli soldiers fire tear-gas bombs into girls’ school. Terrorising innocent helpless children is just part of this daily routine of genocide, just one more small item in this sumMary of atrocities committed on 22 December 2015:

John
“But, and I think this is much more important these days, the same MO applies in many public bodies like NGOs and the charitable foundations and other bodies who outwardly claim to be fostering a better world.”
Yes I think I would subscribe to that. If you are building a pyramid (or a Thisbe, or a Wall, sorry it’s my errant brain playing tricks) you need more than three levels. It stands to reason. There is pyramid on the dollar note. Also in the structures you mention. There are pyramids in salesmanship, in corporate-structures, in government, in banking. It just does not make sense that freemasonry stops after three degrees. Not to me anyway.

What’s it for, JSD, your Freemasonry, and why is it so secret?
What’s the Craft?
What have you got to do with architects and masons?
Why the curious gear and rituals?
“In blunt terms, JSD is lying, sorry to cause annoyance.”
In all the comments I have seen from John Spencer-Davis I have never known him to deliberately lie. He may have made mistakes, and when he does he acknowledges and apologises.
As to Islamic Freemason Lodges, structure and superstructure, I am sure such exist. Nearly all high-level deals are done through freemasonry.

It certainly has been quite secret, as we saw some years ago when membership in the police, for example, was questioned.
But, let’s leave that aside for the moment.
I asked a number of other questions:
What’s it for, JSD, your Freemasonry?
What’s the Craft?
What have you got to do with architects and masons?
Why the curious gear and rituals?
