Controlling The Reality #

0
John Pilger: "...elite corruption is unspeakable in Britain."

"The mind's awareness of meanings or ideas in its own internal voice of consciousness is, according to Derrida, a repeatedly referred to norm of authenticity, authority and truthfulness in metaphysics." - Julie Rivkin and Michael Ryan in their Introduction to "Poststructuralism, Deconstruction, and Post-Modernism".

HawkEye Or Howard Webb? Integrity Or ################ #

0
Nightmare!

We're going to have Graeme Poll and Hugh Dallas back in the game as, yet again, the footballing authorities choose a corrupt template rather than meaningful technological advancements.

It is always a disturbing day when you find yourself agreeing with David Dein.
Always. Click to continue reading...

Words And Things - Just As It Is

0
Jean Baudrillard: "'Free to be oneself' in fact means... free to project one's desires onto produced goods; 'free to enjoy life' means free to regress and be irrational and thus adapt to a certain social organisation of production."

World Corporate Government defines the new financial template. Click to continue reading...

Pre-Match Entertainment - How Insider Trading Determines Your Hyperrealities

0
The blog posting today is for Dietrological Professional clients only.

In it, we discuss a criminalised network involving a Premiership footballer who deliberately underperformed due to betting market requirements in one of the four live televised Sky/Setanta matches this weekend.

In it, we discuss this players betting links to a former manager, a secondary agent, two particular betting market centres, one company of British bookmakers and, of course, his primary agent. Click to continue reading...

The Artificial Handicapping Of The Premiership #

1
The standard defence of those who would prefer that all technological aids are kept away from the football field is the one that goes something like "it all evens out in the long run", or some other such fatalistic wishy-washiness.

With regard, respect even, to the English Premiership, does the 'bad luck' level out with the passage of time, or are certain teams, certain regions, certain groupings of teams receiving proprietary handicapping? Click to continue reading...

Sky Slightly Sub-Prime Sunday #

0
"Oh, I'm fed up with these storytellers!
Rather than write something improving, nice,
something that makes you feel good, they insist
on digging up all the dirt from under the ground!...
They ought to be banned from writing!
I mean, whatever is it like: you're reading...
and you unwittingly fall into thought -
and then all sorts of rubbish comes into your head;
truly, I would ban them from writing;
I really would ban them altogether. Click to continue reading...

Richard Scudamore And His Complicated Moment #

1
The Great Pretence of ScudamoreWorld suggests that footballing finances are sustainable into the future.
The Fake Reality of ScudamoreWorld not only avoids contrarian Realities within the English game, but fails to take account of the holistic nature of the onset of a global Depression.
The Hyperreality of ScudamoreWorld has only one strategic route ahead to balance the books - the simulacrum of football becoming a gambling sport. Click to continue reading...

Change, Not Being Short-Changed

0
In the third of our dislocated troika of posts on corporate crime and the corporate media, we have a statement to make...

You should trust the BBC.
It is an Institution.

The other day, BBC News 24 kept repeating a mantra to me, numerous times every fifteen minutes on an eternal tape loop of hyperreal news: "Its official! Click to continue reading...

The Evolution Of Theses, The Observation Of Hyperrealities

0
In precisely two weeks time, I will be raising my bat to celebrate fifty years of trying to get myself killed.

From the hospitalising Hypothermia in the Orkneys when our speed-boat broke down in the northern outreaches of the islands as we pursued a sealing boat nearly thirty years ago this November, to the underworld threats relating to our exposure of various aspects of the takeover of top-flight English football by that very same underworld, I've been quite willing to take personal risk to energise political/social change.

Fucked Footie Players - A Football Is Fixed Special #

2
Today's post details the sixteen most active Schweinmannschaft in the English Premiership.

These players are the ones that Total Information Awareness, our trading network, believe to be the most compromised players in the league.

7 goalkeepers, 3 defenders, 2 midfielders and 4 forwards are indicative of where the match-fixers, in their various varieties, target their criminal attentions. Click to continue reading...

Monitor Market Manipulation, Not Mickey Mouse #

0
Football fans are not the bewildered hordes that the betting industry build in to their financial projections.
As Sky and Setanta subscriptions start to mimic the bear market, merchandise and ticket purchases pass their summit, betting turnover has ceased its relentless drive upwards.
Over the last few seasons, global betting liquidity on football betting markets has been showing an annual increase of around 22% year-on-year. Click to continue reading...

Freedom From Free Markets #

0
Over the next three days, we are publishing a triumvirate of posts relating to that financial fallacy, the free market.

In this first offering, we focus on the very concept of a free market and we link these atmospherics to International Financial Markets (IFMs).
Tomorrow, we address the non-regulated global football betting markets. Click to continue reading...

Judicial High Jinks

Trotsky: "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you."

Our lawyers have warned us in our weekly meeting that there is a reasonable probability that there will be efforts by the criminalised fringe to close this blog down.
Obviously, we will vigorously defend ourselves against any such interruption to our services. Click to continue reading...

The Gaming Of Your Realities #

0
The Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) reluctantly allows twenty match referees to be on their roster, after two referees appealed against their careers being curtailed prior to the start of the season.

To date, only 18 of these officials have been selected due to Clattenburg's financial affairs and Uriah Rennie's skin colour. Click to continue reading...
