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?
@MarkG I dispute your use of the phrase little game , I suspect it’s a continuation of the Great Game! This fits with the always entertaining Prince Andrew hosting the dinner in Asia (as reported by the shocked American Ambassador in Wikileaks) where non-pedo Saint Andi revealed that they are ‘Going to WIN!’

Russia is of course still quite a corrupt country, although personally I think it is improving, slightly, over time. I guess that GCHQ/NSA will have overt evidence of the fixing of the 2018 Football fest, and I suspect much of what we are seeing is ‘parallel construction’ to try and obfuscate their illegal data-take.
Parenthetically did you notice that the Ukraine gov has now ‘suggested’ that the Russian language is not to be used in the Kievska Rus! Great and deadly games, US is certainly welcoming good relations and supporting ‘peace’ in their own special way.
YouKnowMyName – ‘little game’ betwixt the ‘Great Game’… ‘in their own ‘special’ way.

‘Jihadi’ Cameron wants us ‘in’ badly, which makes it’s pretty obvious that our interests are to get ‘out’ pronto.
Has EU referendum been rigged already? ‘In’ camp allowed to outspend ‘Out’ campaigners by 50 per cent while PM is set to send ‘pro-European’ dossier to every family in UK
EU exit campaigners could be outspent by their opponents by £6million
Rules signed off by the PM mean the ‘Out’ campaign can only spend £11m
But those pushing for Britain to stay in the EU can spend 50 per cent more
It raises concerns the PM is determined to remain in the EU at all costs
There are also claims he will send ‘pro-EU’ dossiers to every British family
Campaigners for Britain to leave the EU could be outspent by their opponents by £6million, it emerged last night.
Rules signed off by David Cameron mean the ‘Out’ campaign will be able to spend no more than £11million in the critical final weeks of the campaign, while those pushing for Britain to stay in the EU will be allowed to spend £17million – 50 per cent more.
Eurosceptics said last night that the spending limits provided further evidence that the referendum rules are ‘stacked in favour’ of the Government, which is expected to campaign to keep Britain in.

BrianFujisan 2 Dec, 2015 – 11:40 pm : Node And FedUp. Cheers for updates
I’m just keeping the seat warm for Mary, who, I believe, was the victim of heavy-handed moderation rather than deliberate discrimination. Come back soon, Mary.
Node: Mary had a couple of off-topic posts removed from a new thread, same as a bunch of other people. Why is it suddenly “heavy handed” when it comes to Mary? Why do you believe she deserves special, privileged treatment, above that of the rest of us?
We suffer the corrupt Fiat Ponzi scheme by reason of motivation or enticement. The world was conned into accepting the most perfidious scheme in the history of banking and finance – the US$ Global Reserve Currency Ponzi Scheme.
This scheme was created on a sand castle of debt, specifically US Treasury Bonds. The world does not need a Global Reserve Currency. Global trade can be conducted in any currency in accordance to the needs and resources of a country.
Spin was propagated. The US was the linchpin in the new era of globalisation as the US market was the biggest consumer/export market. Everyone was caught in this web of deceit. The US market was built on a mountain of debt. Adding insult to injury, the US consumers paid for the goods produced by millions breaking their backs with US$ toilet paper money!

JudenMuslime nicht wünsche is the resounding message!Muslim family banned from US Disneyland trip: *
That is despite having obtained an US travel/tourist visa
And spending £9000 on tickets;
The rank discrimination and victimisation so manifestly and widely applied against Muslims is a sickening spectre of the by gone era of fascist lunatics running the show with the disastrous results thereof!
* anon the sick racists tosser would be fapping at this news and getting congratulated by the acting rabbi for having achieved the ultimate Nirvana; stopped a Muslim from going to the hold land and having fun in Disneyland?!!!!
Gosh all that wrangling last evening! To what end?
People should try to understand, the ‘word’ is not the ‘thing’. The word ‘troll’ does not a troll make. The word chair is not *the* chair.
It is a FACT that Mary is the primary root of the use of that word around here, which term was previously used here only very selectively and pointedly with raised pertinence, not just because someone was asking inconvenient questions. The Original or Old Trolls came much later as an act of response.
If the discussion last night, and people’s time and energy, is to be worth anything, end the use of the term HERE in the interest of politeness and discourse, and MOST IMPORTANTLY in deference to Craig. (Interesting to note, most people do not actually use the word troll, at all.) And let’s remember, that in a sense, we are Craig’s ‘house’. Shelter (LOL).
PS Just days before Mary quit (due to her 2 or 3 comments being deleted), I had proposed to her that if she would drop the term ‘ troll’ she might find an equal response towards her. She ignored me completely. Which due to her combative attitude, was consistent and unsurprising.
Probably have his name confused with this chap:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Mahmood_%28detainee%29
Or some other Tariq Mahmood, of which there are many. Common enough name.
Just shows how stupid this whole Intel thing is.
It’s just garbage make-jobs for American morons, of which there are far too many.
Literal clowns making everyone’s life a misery, to no useful purpose whatsoever.
The whole history of the TSA makes this abundantly clear.
He’s not entitled to a refund say the pilfering corpos who supplied the tickets. Those fuckers need to be named and outed for the opportunistic filth they are.
Anyone know who they are?

I am totally with you Glenn in your objectivity.
Also with the Mods who unwittingly let their guard down for a second yesterday. And generally been doing a great service.

I have to go out now. I might reply to your questions later if you rephrase them without the straw men.
The other Muslim Friendly lot; Norwegian Air
You know home of that Anders Behring Breivik whose mass murder of seventy seven were in protestations against Multi Culti, ie stop the foreigners ie Muslims coming anywhere near Norway campaign!
Recollecting his manifesto was loaded and fawned over by the nasty zionist supremacist whore pam geller whose blog is a veritable hate fest against all thing Muslim in the name of “freedumb of speech”. that is supported by other tossers the likes of anon and the acting rabbi who are roaming freely and pouring race hate bile and venom in every given opportunity!
Alcyone (13:33): Seconded, and thank you for your comments the other day too.
You make some good points at 13:26. It’s gross partisanship which is particularly negative, imho. It makes a poster’s judgement appear worthless when they are hyper-critical of one “side”, but give a free pass when it comes to their own. That form of injustice, together with greed, is one of the great problems with humanity. But I can’t see it changing here (or anywhere else) any time soon.
*
Node (13:35): A “straw man” implies countering an argument which was not made. But I am making the point, and was doing so very much up-front – why should Mary consider herself above the rest of us?
It’s clear that she did, as demonstrated by her furious reaction to being treated in the same way as everyone else here. She had a couple of off-topic posts removed, for once, as did a number of other posters. Did you see anyone else flounce off like that?
It appears I’m having to spell out something rather obvious to you here.

To my mind there is a slight difference between good-humouredly observing that some of your posts have been deleted and drwaing certain general conclusions from that eg, Anon)and whining away self-righteously across a couple of pages of a thread out of a feeling of (I suppose) l’ese-majeste’ and out of a refusal to admit that the mods might have deleted something crappily off-topic(eg, the Pugnacious One).
Capeesh? 🙂

BTW, no point sulking because I told you a couple of yours were on the Fedup or Giyane level. Get over it!

Good luck with that, Glenn. Surely you (and others) realise that Ganglion sees himself as holding the fort until Mary might reappear? As her Vicar on Earth, surely he has a right to be as impermeable as the Blessed One?
Norwegian Airlines.
Concerned muslims should perhaps be picketing their British offices, though they may only have offices at airports, which would make that impossible.
That’d be the refund issue.
Seems to me that even the American morons could check on people well before they travel rather than leaving it until the last minute. Seems strange. Maybe they want to make it as inconvenient as possible.
Perhaps the refund issue could be pursued through them. They’ve obviously acted unreasonably, which is the test.
Breivik is not representative of Norwegian views on immigration. Quite the opposite. That’s the point about him.
This case has had quite an enormous amount of publicity, not just in Britain, but the US and Europe as well, including raised at PM level. There have been cases before with nothing like the publicity, so that’s a concern.
A lot of it mentions Trump, and his recent “ban all muslims”.
I’ve a feeling it may be a corporate media hit on Trump.
He’s voicing policies that the Zionists, in particular, do not like. He’d be the end of their dreams of world hegemony, were we to take him at his word. The GOP are shitting themselves.
Apart from the by now common and everyday bigotry against muslims, that may well be what this is all about, in media and political terms at least.
Anyway. Just don’t go to America. It’s a shit hole.
I mean Disneyland ffs.
Though, good all American destination were one of conspiratorial mind.
I do hope the other Donald is taking notes.
@Glenn, your really are shameless ; do you know for a fact that the Posts deletions that made Mary pack it in here, were indeed “off-topic” ? Try engaging your brain to think about how likely it would be for a long time regular Poster to suddenly over the trivial issue of off-post deletions; try turning off your personal animosity and take Mary’s own explanation at face value, which was the deletions she objected to, were NOT off-topic.
Should have said, cultural and architectural shithole.
The topography is fine. Some of the people too.
It’s just most of them are morons.
I well remember the thread where the deletion of her posts led Mary to leave. My posts on the same thread that were put on moderation (some eventually allowed, some eventually deleted) were all on the second and third pages. I think they were on topic for what was then being discussed. Having my posts put on moderation greatly hampered my attempts to answer the trolls’ arguments. My recollection is that Mary was still complaining about posts being put on moderation and deleted on the second page. I think she said she was leaving after further moderator activity against her on the third page.
@Alcyone/Villager, Not sure if it’s due to your moronic stupidly, or to your embarrassing infatuation with the Habbu-Clown-Troll, but you obviously wouldn’t (& can’t) recognize the most blatant Troll ever, even if your life depended on it; here’s the basic bottom line, trolls don’t engage in good faith, so open your eyes & engage the few brain cells you have.
For those who want to check, it was the Carmichael thread: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2015/12/carmichael-an-extraordinary-lack-of-humility/
@Lysias, you may have already worked it out, but it seems that any posts containing the J*W word, automatically goes to pre-moderation; but it would be nice to have official confirmation.
A, but possibly not The post deleted detailed how each of the few Lib-Dem MPs voted on Syria, some such as Carmicheal voting for bombing, others abstaining. It couldn’t have been more on-topic given recent subjects above-the-line, and the direction the comments had taken. The song lyrics, however puzzle, I’d never taken that poster for a heavy-metal-backed-poetry fan, but somewhere amongst them there was I think a vague anti-war sentiment.
I’m sure her time – whilst the dolts who hounded her gloat and lick their lips looking for their next stalking victim – will be productively spent.
There’s nothing wrong with flouncing, I’m going now and won’t be back till next time.
So there!
Kind of makes it hard to properly answer slanders directed against groups other than the Favored One, like the Irish in that Carmichael thread.
Even in this thread, I had a posting put on moderation (it’s up there now, for all to see, now that it has been taken out of moderation, at 11:11 PM, where the forbidden word was in a quote from the Times of Israel).
Yup.
Now getting “realtime coverage” on Google.

re Herbie. If I’d been that Muslim family, I’d have gone to Disneyland Paris, rather than LA. The French police can’t be bothered to stop you.
“Seymour Hersh’s recent article says that the top leaders of the Pentagon deliberately subverted American policy toward Syria, sabotaging US efforts to aid Syrian rebels and even sending US intelligence to Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. From fall 2013 to September 2015, he says, US military leaders effectively conducted a secret alliance with Assad and with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom they saw as their best allies in fighting ISIS.”
