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?
Ach, bugger it…

Queen reveals much that we suspected.
Meanwhile, the “Master of Disaster” Tony Blair, and his notorious side kick Jack Straw have been banned from using British embassies all around the world as free hotels.
He seems to have had a lovely Christmas anyway, not entirely at his own expense, but no doubt surrounded by Met officers on double overtime. See An Apology thread for details. He’s in Sri Lanka today, in his role as peacemaker. Y’know, like Iraq? Poor old Sri Lanka.
In Israel, four J**ish extremists have been charged (better late than never I say) with an arson attack on a Palestinian home that killed a toddler and his parents.
The case had lain unsolved for months (not unusal I suppose) and helped fuel the current wave of violence between Israeli’s and Palestinians.
The long awaited charges follow months of investigations into a group of J**ish extremists operating in the West Bank.
Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, pledged a “zero tolerance” approach towards extremists.

Yes John, I quite agree, but it’s very unlikely that David Cameron will jeopardise the lucrative arms deals that profits Cameron’s corporate sponsors, such as Thales.
On the otherhand Saudi Arabia, by its inane actions, or deliberately just intensified the feelings of hostility towards it from other Muslim nations in the region.
Maybe that’s the plan, provoke and attack in so called self defence. We shall have to wait and see how it plays out.

All is not well in Poland, German Commissioner of the EU Guenther Oettinger, will urge the EU to start a process against Poland over its proposed law to control the media.
The Polish parliament passed amendments to allow it to appoint managers to run the state controlled tv and radio stations.
Well it will bring it into line with, the BBC and its radio stations.
Incidently I’m pretty sure Nato member Turkey, has its tv controlled by the state.

Don’t all broadcasting stations have managers?
Even Tony Benn didn’t suggest that the BBC should be run as a workers’ collective.
In the good old US of A, Texan authorities have passed a law to allow anyone to “open carry” a firearm.
As US president Barack Obama tries to curb gun ownership in America with a series of dubious shooting in order to suppress the well armed American public, Texas has thrown the firearms doors wide open.
Texans with licensed firearms will even be allowed to take their guns to church (just don’t push the collection plate into their faces) they’ll also be allowed to open carry in bars and restaurants.
In Austin, Texans who are licensed firearms owner will even be allowed to bypass airport security scanners.
Locals claim the rise in terrorist attacks have boosted gun ownership and the need for open carry.

Kempe : At high doses. Nobody’s talking about high doses. Your tap water already contains chlorine which is also toxic at high doses but I’ve never heard of anybody suffering chlorine poisoning from drinking water.
Water fluoridation in Britain is 1 ppm concentration. 4 ppm is generally considered harmful. We can safely suppose that some people in Britain drink ten times more tap water than others. Therefore water fluoridation is bad medicine.
Among the very many fishy things about the alleged killing of bin Laden is the fact that a couple of months after that alleged killing, on Aug. 6, 2011, a U.S. helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan that was carrying, among other people, 15 members of the very SEAL Team Six that conducted the operation that allegedly killed bin Laden.
As retired NAVY JAG (legal) officer Don Brown recounts in his book Call Sign Extortion 17: The Shoot-Down of SEAL Team Six there were many ways in which the shootdown of the helicopter was only possible because of gross incompetence and violations of procedure on the part of the military commanders. 2011 Chinook shootdown in Afghanistan. Brown does not suggest this, but one cannot escape the thought, as suggested by Paul Craig Roberts, that what was being done was eliminating witnesses of whatever happened during the alleged killing of bin Laden and intimidating any other possible witnesses.
One study published in 2012 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found a link between high fluoride levels found naturally in drinking water in China and elsewhere in the world, and lower IQs in children. The paper looked at the results of 27 different studies, 26 of which found a link between high-fluoride drinking water and lower IQ. The average IQ difference between high and low fluoride areas was 7 points, the study found.
“If fluoride is a medicine, evidence on its effects should be subject to the standards of proof expected of drugs, including evidence from randomised trials. If used as a mass preventive measure in well people, the evidence of net benefit should be greater than that needed for drugs to treat illness. An important distinction also exists between removing unnatural exposures (such as environmental tobacco smoke) and adding unnatural exposures (such as drugs or preservatives). In the second situation, evidence on benefit and safety must be more stringent. There have been no randomised trials of water fluoridation.”

A comment to that “Harvard Professor” article:
Lysias, here’s another comment on that “Harvard Professor” article, which apparently you missed!
Here’s another which must have escaped your attention:
Rather blows that bad-science article out of the (ehem) water, wouldn’t you agree?
The idea that fluoride is a by-product of nuclear weapons manufacture, and governments worldwide decide to dispose of it by dumping it in the public water supply (as proposed earlier) has to be one of the most stupid ideas I’ve ever come across.
You may be pleased to know you’re in good company, though – the John Birch Society of the 1950s had just the same obsession about fluoride, although they were sure it was a communist plot.
Certainly experimentation is called for. But that experimentation should have preceded inserting fluoride into our drinking water. not followed it!
Correlation may not imply causation, but it does suggest the need to examine whether causation exists. It certainly does not refute causation.

My concern was not for recruitment, but for transparency. One frequently hears the criticism that Freemasonry is closed to all but elites, that you have to know somebody to get into it, and so on. Not true. Contact the two offices I gave out and see.
Your advice is of course good, although I would extend it to women too. All the potential apprentice’s queries are gone into during the initial consultation period. I am afraid I would much rather not continue with the rest, sorry: do take my advice and put your queries to UGLE, I am sure they will be able to assist you.
Kind regards,

I have no idea what this means, sorry. J
The John Birch Society has not always been wrong. They have opposed our aggressive wars in the Middle East in recent years, for example. You can’t dismiss an idea out of hand just because of where it is coming from.
They may have been wrong in thinking fluoridation of water was the result of a Communist plot, but that does not mean that they were wrong in opposing fluoridation of water.
If the Saudi monarchy falls, I wonder if we will finally found out the truth about what happened on 9/11.
Just for the record, I am not a lawyer and have no formal legal training. J

“This spat between him [JSD] and me [G] is not about freemasonry, but about the fact that I disagree with his methodology for helping our absent friend, which was to invent certain “crimes” of blog behaviour such as engaging with a troll.”
False. Giyane is lying about the cause of this dispute.
A poster named “Goonfarm” jeeringly and falsely attributed to me some words that I did not write. I pointed out that I did not write them and demanded a retraction and apology. “Goonfarm” subsequently turned out to be Giyane, who had posted this material under a second name against the rules of the forum, which he of course denied, but which has now been confirmed by the moderator on Giyane’s posting at 11:25pm. (I wonder if Giyane will apologise for that now.)
Gihane then proceeded to deny, at least twice, that he had attributed the words quoted to me, an obvious and blatant lie, which I have clearly documented in previous postings.
That’s what this is about. Nothing to do with “methodology”. Couldn’t care less about the rest of the jeering abuse. I want an apology for the false attribution and an apology for the lying. That’s all. End of story. If anyone else wants me to document what I have said here I will be happy to do it.

Militant gunmen killed several personnel at an Indian airbase just across the border from Pakistan. Insiders think it was a blatant attempt to sour a tentative relationship between India and Pakistans leaders.
Tension between Pakistan and India, both who possess nuclear weapons is high, and a Indian prime minister hasn’t visited his Pakistani counterpart in a decade, not until PM Modi of Indian met with Nawaz Sharif the PM of Pakistan recently.

Lysias: “They may have been wrong in thinking fluoridation of water was the result of a Communist plot, but that does not mean that they were wrong in opposing fluoridation of water.”
Indeed, but they were wrong about it being a commie plot, just like you’re wrong to have a belief and think this is equal to an understanding.
The trouble with this sort of thinking is it lacks evidence, gravitates towards cranks and pseudo-science, and takes opinion-based articles from the usual suspects as if they were unquestionably objective and correct. Why don’t you look at studies from – say – the NHS, or other scientifically centered bodies?
By taking some study in isolation, hand-picked to give the required result, then skewing that and misrepresenting it – besides failing to consider any problems in its methodology – you’ll get bad science. This is what rags like The Mail do on a daily basis, with their screaming “Scientists say…” before launching into something that scientists definitely do not “say”.
You demanded more evidence. There is plenty – you’re just not interested in it.
You said studies should have done beforehand. They were. Nobody just thought, “Oh – let’s dump this by-product of nuclear production into the drinking supply. Shouldn’t do any harm!” Good grief.
