About time someone did something about all the backhanders and other dodgy dealing. Us Euro's had our chance a while ago but decided not to follow it up, though I will not allege that money was taking that decision....

Yup - you'll have done us all a favour if Sepp Blatter gets the boot...

 

 

The way it looks now, he will probably be elected President again. No obvious links from him to any of the financial wrongdoing, no serious opposition for the position, and no real outcry that he was in charge and let it happen.

FIFA wanted more recognition for their sport in the US of A. They certainly attracted the attention of the FBI.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Two things....power and money = corruption ,cant see the surprise shown as if it were something new .

Anything anything at all with both those factors are corrupt the fbi should look to america first! And the fbi is probably up to its neck in it themselves with their planet wide shenanigans

Then theres just money ,if money is involved in anything theres corruption ,if theres a buck to be made a buck will be made ,from libor to lolly sellers where theres money corruption follows

 

Never understood how foreigners got the power over whats possibly a british invention anyway ,but i guess foreigners own and run everything in britain anyway ,i suppose the family silver went long ago all thats left is the country itself to flog

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

I see that Putin is now saying it is a US plot to prevent Russia hosting the world cup. I think that he and Blatter went to the same school of deception

he could be half right ,lots of money in hosting things ,would america want russia making money to stick two fingers up to america?

America want anyone not america broke and powerless ,like we did when we run things ,you cant have enemies with bigger guns that will never do

 

as burton said

 

No one would have believed that

in the last years of the 19th century

that human affairs where being watched

from the timeless worlds of space

No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized

as someone with a microscope studies creatures

that swarm and multiply in a drop of water

Few man even considered the possibility of life on other planets

and yet across the gulf of space

minds immeasurably superior to ours

regarded this Earth with envious eyes

and slowly and surely

they drew their plans against us.

 

america should turn their eyes to china not russia, americas posturing wont frighten them
