    LONDON — “We have fought colonialism and defeated it and we still fight imperialism and we will fight it whenever it manifests itself.” So claimed South Africa’s sports minister, Fikile Mbalula, recently. He was talking not of war or invasion but about the F.B.I.’s investigation into corruption involving FIFA, world soccer’s governing body. Other officials from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean have expressed similar sentiments.

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    FIFA needs to defend itself from an attack by the Americans, believes Klaus Stöhlker, personal consultant to the organization’s acting president, Sepp Blatter.

    Stöhlker spoke to RT a day ahead of the big media conference the Swiss prosecutors are giving on June 17 in connection to the ongoing corruption investigation in FIFA.

      At a Caribbean anti-corruption conference in the Cayman Islands in March last year, politicians and activists called on regional leaders to create a culture of integrity and transparency with zero tolerance for offenders. It didn’t seem to matter to the organizer that one of the main sponsors was the regional soccer body CONCACAF that was mired in a big bribery scandal.

      That organizer, the University College of the Cayman Islands, trumpeted CONCACAF’s involvement and said the aim of the gathering was “to raise awareness of the potential for corruption and decline in ethical standards across all the various sectors of society, including sports, and the consequent damaging effect on economies and social harmony.”

          Good!
          Recommend it as a read for Mosiah and company!

          If we zero in on FIFA the current 'going-ons' just moves the 'big boys' v 'the minnows' to center stage.

          What will happen after Blatter?
          FIFA world order remains same? ...that is, do the "Jack/Blatter" alliances within FIFA remain the same or do the Europeans take over?

            Western commentators have equally viewed the FIFA scandal as a grand geopolitical confrontation. In The Financial Times, the journalist Simon Kuper compared FIFA’s departing president, Sepp Blatter, to Joseph Stalin and Fidel Castro. “Like Saddam Hussein, Mr. Blatter has now been removed by a crusading U.S.,” he wrote.

            James Kirchick, a fellow at the think tank Foreign Policy Initiative, claimed that Mr. Blatter “resembles nothing more than one of the tinpot dictators America overthrows every decade or so” as it takes on “the burden of maintaining the liberal world order.”

                Greg Dyke, chairman of the England Football Association, has claimed that only the West can clean up the mess of FIFA because there is “a set of values which you find in Western Europe, and in America, and in Australia, that don’t apply everywhere.” Yet five years ago, when England was bidding to host the 2018 World Cup, the soccer authorities described British media investigations into FIFA corruption as “unpatriotic.”

                Even the prime minister, David Cameron, who last week demanded at an international summit meeting a global crackdown on the “cancer” of corruption, said he, too, was “frustrated” by the media scrutiny of FIFA.

                Only after England lost its bid, to Russia, did Britain’s leaders discover the need to crusade against corruption.

                    Don't forget their courtship of Jack Warner to get his votes. This is the clearest indication to date of what will obtain without one man one vote

                      NEW YORK, June 17 (Reuters) - FIFA President Sepp Blatter has hired a high-powered U.S. lawyer to represent him as a corruption probe rocks soccer's global governing body, a person familiar with the matter said.

                      Blatter recently retained Richard Cullen, the chairman of the law firm McGuireWoods and a former U.S. federal prosecutor, said the person, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

                          Ok, so I've read it. It hasn't really told me anything new. I'm not that naive to be unable to appreciate the appearance or reality of what's taking place.

                          We need to realise nobody does white crime better than non-African people.

                              Suddenly realizes that FIFA is not the final arbiter on football matters and that he is but a 'tin god'!

                              Wonder if he has awaken to the fact that he is really the target of the US???
