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?
A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled that a macaque monkey who took now-famous selfie photographs cannot be declared the copyright owner of the photos.
U.S. district Judge William Orrick said in a tentative opinion Wednesday that while Congress and the president can extend the protection of law to animals as well as humans, there is no indication that they did so in the Copyright Act.

An absolute travesty if I were him I’d hire Atticus Finch and take my appeal to the supreme court.
RoS, you’re clearly an articulate and intelligent individual – but why would you believe this 1 year anniversary psyop crap from the MSM? Had to be the 18th arrondissement – didn’t it? (9) and the time is supposed to be 11:56 (11:11). Seriously this is fiction mate – you can see these stupid “occult” numbers in nearly all these “terrorist” stories. Replace “occult” with intelligence agencies.
Seriously what would be the odds? 9/11 🙂
The woman writing a book about Petraeus was Mossad agent Paula Broadwell who hoped to get the DCI to create such a crisis in Benghazi that it would prevent Obama’s re-election.
While it was foiled by John Brennan, it is still hoped by Republicans to prevent Hillary from being elected.

Masked Gunmen Attack Tour Bus Carrying Several Israeli Tourists Near Cairo Hotel.
A classic strapline that leaves the reader (who often only reads the strapline) thinking that the attack was aimed at Israeli passengers.
However when you dig deeper into the story the gunmen were infact attacking Egypt’s security forces, and not the Israeli bus passengers.

As how you look at it increased production is a symptom of the crisis in the North Sea oil industry …
I made no such assertion. Ever. In your routine blanket contradiction of everyone who has ever had anything good to say about the SNP, kindly stick to what they did say, not what you would have liked them to say. Preferably with links.
Returning to the point, you will note that despite the cost of tractor diesel falling through the floor, much as you appear to deplore it. UK plc is not only trembling on the verge of bankruptcy (if it were an individual it would have gone in decades ago), but it is run by idiots on the sole behalf of offshore bankers and the US State Department. Mote. Beam.

Exexpat, what makes you think I believe it? My comment in which I mention Francois Hollande in the last sentence, is satirical, I’d have thought commentors would’ve picked up on that.

Nice one Exexpat, now that’s satire.
Washington Post article on new Dietary Guidelines issued by the U.S. government reveals the extent to which politics has always driven what the U.S. government says on diet: Government revises Dietary Guidelines for Americans: Go ahead and have some eggs.
BTW What you may understand me saying is that the crash in North Sea oil prices, and acceleration of the fields’ decline, is a consequence of OPEC overproduction. IOW, the reverse of what you state. It certainly wasn’t anything to do with the SNP. and the UKplc economic plan similarly assumed continuing high prices. Now, if you were to express some annoyance at a world oil market rigged by and in favour of a bunch of very rich Arabs, I’d join you. But as United Bri’ain sells them arms, I don’t suppose you will.
“I made no such assertion. Ever. In your routine blanket contradiction of everyone who has ever had anything good to say about the SNP, kindly stick to what they did say, not what you would have liked them to say. Preferably with links.”
Don’t tell me what to post, who the hell do you think you are?
Clark:
Alcyone, would you please explain the origin of your screen-name? I think I know, but it’s been a matter of debate between myself and a friend for a while and I don’t want to ask a leading question.
The origin, like yourself, I have no idea but the reason (strongly suggested by other contributors) was that he was banned using his previous name, Villager. Whether that is true or not, I don’t know. What I have observed is the liberal use of butter to endear himself to who he perceives to be ‘important’ personalities.
RoS, I would’ve ordinarily credited you with a better sense of humour.
Do you really need to work so hard to acquire dubious ‘friends’?
The Saudi oil overproduction that is responsible for the drop in oil prices has at least two explanations: (1) Saudi desire to eliminate higher-price competition like from shale oil; and (2) Saudi participation in the Empire’s economic war against Russia and Iran.
Glenn; “If I actually said there will be nothing of interest in the emails then you’re right, actually, I was wrong. Try not to crow too much, though – it’s not one of your most appealing qualities.”
Not a matter crowing, your perceptive ability to detect such is about as astute as JSD’s; it was to remind you of an old adage, “To practise what you preach”.
Glenn; “But do note that these emails indicate war crimes that we know about only because of the odd nature of La Clinton’s email habits. The war crimes were there all along. The off-books email server _in itself_ was not and is not such a big deal. The contents would be more or less the same on official sources (or the communications made through other channels).”
This is rather non-sensical; if it wasn’t for the personal email server, we would never have had documented proof, & even knowledge of these matters, so yes this personal email server itself is a big deal !
Glenn; “So I still stand by the position that the fact of having an unofficial email server in itself is no biggie (which was what the right-wing corporate media were frothing about at the time). Thank you for that link.”
Your position is illogical, (see above), as well as being totaly wrong to begin with. Your welcomed, hope you found the revelations interesting.

Don’t know what you’re rabbiting on about. I was demonstrating that Mr Robertson stating “There is no crisis. We have just actually extracted more oil than ever before in the North Sea.” is rubbish. They have had to increase production because of the crisis.
Surprisingly Lysais the USA doesn’t hold the number one spot for the most obese citizens in the world.
The USA comes in at number 9, the top 7 places are held South Pacific islands, which came as a surprise to me.

Don’t be shy Andy, we can talk directly too if you want.
If you’re referring to Habby, I would say I look forward to his enjoining soon. He has wit, intelligence, humour. And he has endured far more abuse than anybody here. It’s those qualities that are ‘important’ not the person.
He also is a good source of ‘knowledge’, but I am acutely aware that historical knowledge for the most part is just ash.
Villager/Alcyone also sockpuppets using the username “Fwl”
Fuck off Node, I have no need to. You are paranoid and demented because your mind has narrowed like a one-trick pony.
The Mods are at liberty to confirm this, though they have better things to do.
You really are such a pipsqueak in the scheme of things.
And that’s just part of it, Node.
Have postponed my trip to Angkor Wat for a month because my nephew, the host, has had to undergo a hernia operation on Monday.
He has done too much heavy lifting with his trips.
I seem to have a comment awaiting moderation. 🙂

Trowbridge, thanks for letting us know. Else we would’ve thought you were still busy packing up and buying a ticket. You’re stuck with Ganglion now instead.
😉
And John S-D, you’re still chewing the cud? I really feel sorry for you. The analyst needs an analyst. LOL
John Spencer-Davis, a present for you. One you won’t find in your dogmatic and delusional Freemasons:

Nope Node you are mistaken for I am not Villager nor Alycone, nor if anyone should wonder am I Node.
Thanks for clearing that up Fwl. I am glad to meet my twin 😉
See you around! I shall read your comments more closely hereon!!
