ALL OPTIONS ARE IN THE TABLE: INCLUDING FIFA

"FIFA debería eliminar 'I'
y sustituirlo  por la 'A' de America"

Entrevista de Russia Today (RT) a Lew Rockwell, of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.

RT: Esta historia --la corrupción  en  la  FIFA-- ha generado un gran interés en todo el mundo. Desde un punto de vista económico, también hay mucho en juego, ¿no lo cree?

Lew Rockwell: Bueno, ciertamente lo hay, pero creo que el punto de vista político es más importante. Lo que tenemos aqui es un claro acto de imperialismo. ¿Quién ha puesto a los EE.UU. como encargado del fútbol internacional?. Eso sólo ha sido posible porque la FIFA cometió el error de poner una oficina en New York. Y ésto es una advertencia a cualquier institución que quiera hacer lo mismo: cuidado con poner una oficina en territorio estadounidense porque es darles la oportunidad para que tomen el control de ello. 

Tal vez los cargos de corrupción son ciertos, no lo sé, pero de nuevo: ¿Qué derecho unilateral tienen los Estados Unidos a meter sus nacices en la FIFA?.  Creo que lo que hay detrás de todo ésto es que la FIFA le dió la Copa del Mundo en 2018 a Rusia.

Esto es sólo otro movimiento anti-ruso por parte del imperialismo para tratar de gobernar --como siempre hacen-- a todo el mundo y erigirse en jueces de todo crimen o imputado delito que ocurra en cualquier parte. Paul Craig Roberts, el analista económico, dijo:


'Esta es otra estafa Washington-británica contra Rusia. Me recuerda el ataque de prensa orquestada en los Juegos Olímpicos de Sochi. Washington está tratando de convertir el deporte profesional en un arma de propaganda contra Rusia. Los Estados Unidos van a usar ésto para que el próximo campeonato del mundo de fútbol no ocurra en Rusia. No hay Estado de Derecho en los EE.UU. La Ley es un arma que Washington utiliza para lograr su Agenda imperial, nada más' "

Forget Sports: Geopolitics is Behind the FIFA Scandal As the War Against Russia Enters a New Front

"The scandal and arrests that have taken place in 2015, however, have nothing to do with corruption and everything to do with geopolitics. Welcome to the soccer/football front! FIFA has become another arena for the multi-spectrum war being fought by the US and its allies against countries like Russia.

 

The energy and currency wars are now being augmented by a behind the scenes war at FIFA. Joseph Blatter or Sepp is a casualty of this war As far back as 2005, Blatter has refused to get embroiled in Washington’s geopolitical chess game(s). Under him FIFA refused to surrender to the US Department of State’s demands that Iran’s team be blocked from participating in World Cup 2006 or demands that Palestine not be admitted into FIFA.

 

FIFA’s geopolitical offenses, however, may have reached a tipping point. FIFA’s consideration of Palestinian requests to suspend Israel, on the basis of Israeli sabotage and attacks against the Palestinian team, as item fifteen of the agenda of its 65th Congress could have been one of these offenses. Days before the 65th FIFA Congress was to take place, however, Blatter meet with both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian quasi-dictator Mahmoud Abbas to reach some type of understanding. This may be the basis for the withdrawal of the Palestinian Football Association’s motion to suspend the Israeli Football Association from FIFA.

 

Prior to the investigation on Blatter, the US had the Swiss police arrest seven FIFA officials at the Hotel Baur au Lac in Zurich on May 27, 2015. These officials were in Zurich preparing to cast their ballots for the FIFA elections. They were arrested on «suspicions» of corruption and extradited to the US by Switzerland

 

The US actually accelerated its investigation even while a separate probe was being conducted by the authorities in Switzerland as to how FIFA awarded World Cup 2018 to Russia and World Cup 2022 to Qatar. This is the crux of the matter. FIFA was not willing to rescind its decisions and follow Washington’s geopolitical script against Russia."
