The Missing Three-Quarter pt 1

We were fairly accustomed to receive weird telegrams at Baker Street, but I have a particular recollection of one which reached us on a gloomy February morning some seven or eight years ago...

OK, so obviously my first question - in spite of knowing that time is made up in these stories and attempting to pin them down is an exercise in madness - is what year was this story published. Google provides: 1904. So we're supposedly looking at 1896-7.

Not that that means anything.

“Please await me. Terrible misfortune. Right wing three-quarter missing; indispensable to-morrow. — Overton.”

I mean if you're missing three quarters of your right wing, that does sound like a terrible misfortune, but I am interested in how a bird managed to send a telegram. Perhaps it is the trained cormorant! Or one of the canaries.

Despite being British and my brother having played it at school (and numerous other things about my life which mean I should know), the rules and terminology of rugby are completely beyond me. It is a massive gap in my knowledge that I have no real desire to fill in. I know William Webb Ellis and that there's League and Union, something something scrum, score a try, six nations. There. That's all I know.

But according to the post script in the last email, this is about Rugby, so I must assume that Right Wing three quarter refers to a playing position and that tomorrow there is a rugby game.

For years I had gradually weaned him from that drug mania which had threatened once to check his remarkable career. Now I knew that under ordinary conditions he no longer craved for this artificial stimulus, but I was well aware that the fiend was not dead, but sleeping; and I have known that the sleep was a light one and the waking near when in periods of idleness I have seen the drawn look upon Holmes's ascetic face, and the brooding of his deep-set and inscrutable eyes.

This is honestly a really interesting and serious discussion of drug addiction. We've had a few comments from Watson about it before, but never to this extent, I don't think. And the actual discussion of how he's been slowly getting Sherlock clean over the years. But the acknowledgement that it's always there, waiting. And it's always preying on Watson's mind, too.

Mr. Cyril Overton, of Trinity College, Cambridge

Of course he's from a Cambridge college and worrying about a rugby game. The only way this could be more Oxbridge is if it were the boat race he was worrying about.

Do you think it's an Oxbridge match or an intercollegiate one?

“I've been down to Scotland Yard, Mr. Holmes. I saw Inspector Stanley Hopkins. He advised me to come to you. He said the case, so far as he could see, was more in your line than in that of the regular police.”

Glad to see the police really care about missing people. Although 'university rugby player wandered off' isn't really that unusual in my experience. After a rugby social night you'd trip over them in the weirdest places. After the medical students, they probably had the most intense events.

"Whether it's passing, or tackling, or dribbling, there's no one to touch him..."

Do you dribble in rugby? I genuinely thought that was a football term.

(According to the All Blacks apparently you do... weird. I do not understand this game at all)

"Why, Morton or Johnson, the Oxford fliers, could romp round him."

Ah, it's an Oxbridge match. No wonder he's so put out about it.

“There is Arthur H. Staunton, the rising young forger,” said he, “and there was Henry Staunton, whom I helped to hang, but Godfrey Staunton is a new name to me.”

Just let me look in my book of people. Oh yes, he's not the one I had hanged... nope, don't know him. This is so funny to me.

“I suppose, then, if you have never heard of Godfrey Staunton you don't know Cyril Overton either?”

His utter astonishment at Holmes not knowing about rugby is sweet and also hilarious. Also kind of arrogant, but I was expecting that.

...with many repetitions and obscurities which I may omit from his narrative, he laid his strange story before us.

Thank you, Watson.

"Half an hour later the porter tells me that a rough-looking man with a beard called with a note for Godfrey. [...] Godfrey read it and fell back in a chair as if he had been pole-axed. [...] Then he went downstairs, said a few words to the man who was waiting in the hall, and the two of them went off together. The last that the porter saw of them, they were almost running down the street in the direction of the Strand."

Oooh... long lost relative? But what's in the letter? Does Godfrey have a secret past? Is the bearded man a colonel? Has he trained some birds to do crimes? But if he had trained birds to do crimes, surely he could also train them to deliver messages without needing porters.

Even with Watson editing this down, the tone, pace and wording still convey Cyril's personality perfectly. Excellent character work. Chef's kiss.

“I wired to Lord Mount-James.” “Why to Lord Mount-James?” “Godfrey is an orphan, and Lord Mount-James is his nearest relative—his uncle, I believe.”

Ding-ding, we have some more evidence for long lost relative. Maybe crawling out of the woodwork to get money? If Godfrey is related to a Lord, that would make sense.

"Lord Mount-James is one of the richest men in England.”

Yep, there is definitely going to be at least an indication that money is involved. Although it may turn out to be one of those stories where that is a red herring.

“Yes, he was his heir, and the old boy is nearly eighty—cram full of gout, too. They say he could chalk his billiard-cue with his knuckles. He never allowed Godfrey a shilling in his life, for he is an absolute miser, but it will all come to him right enough.”

They are really building up the money motive. Makes me think it won't be that straightforward.

He was simply what the porter described as a “medium-looking chap”

Watson, king of describing people, faced with an ordinary person. You can feel the exasperation.

“It is a pity he did not write in pencil,” said he, throwing them down again with a shrug of disappointment. “As you have no doubt frequently observed, Watson, the impression usually goes through—a fact which has dissolved many a happy marriage. However, I can find no trace here. I rejoice, however, to perceive that he wrote with a broad-pointed quill pen, and I can hardly doubt that we will find some impression upon this blotting-pad."

Proper old school detective work going on. Blotting paper. Does anyone in the world still use blotting paper, I wonder. I spent my childhood reading Enid Blyton and Agatha Christie and wondering what it even was.

"But I dare say it may have come to your notice that if you walk into a post-office and demand to see the counterfoil of another man's message there may be some disinclination on the part of the officials to oblige you. There is so much red tape in these matters! However, I have no doubt that with a little delicacy and finesse the end may be attained."

How dare they protect people's privacy in that way! How dare!

Honestly, I find this kind of reassuring. I may have assumed that there was no security about these things at all in the Victorian era. Weird when you find something that they did better back then. By 'delicacy and finesse' does he mean 'bribery'? So... maybe not any better really.

...we looked up to find a queer little old man, jerking and twitching in the doorway. He was dressed in rusty black, with a very broad brimmed top-hat and a loose white necktie—the whole effect being that of a very rustic parson or of an undertaker's mute. Yet, in spite of his shabby and even absurd appearance, his voice had a sharp crackle, and his manner a quick intensity which commanded attention.

See, Mr Day-porter, this is how you describe a person.

"If he has any expectations it is due to the fact that I have never wasted money, and I do not propose to begin to do so now. As to those papers with which you are making so free, I may tell you that in case there should be anything of any value among them you will be held strictly to account for what you do with them.”

Huge Scrooge McDuck vibes from this guy.

“Heavens, sir, what an idea! I never thought of such villainy! What inhuman rogues there are in the world! But Godfrey is a fine lad—a staunch lad. Nothing would induce him to give his old uncle away."

Dude, hate to say it, but if you were my uncle I would absolutely give you away. In a heartbeat. I would be telling them every piece of information I knew about you so fast they'd have burgled your house before you could blink. Unless they showed me their faces, then I'd use the information as leverage to get away.

But you seem like such a great guy, I'm sure Godfrey wants to protect you with his life.

Totally.

"You must admit that it is curious and suggestive that this incident should occur on the eve of this important match, and should involve the only man whose presence seems essential to the success of the side."

I mean, if he hadn't gone off on his own accord, I'd definitely support the argument 'Oxford kidnapped him'. Makes perfect sense.

OH... Holmes meant people who had bet on the game.

My best bet currently is that he got news (real or false) about someone he cares about and left to try to help them. That would also explain the 'us'.

Webb Ellis, o mito fundador e os 200 anos de Rugby

Rugby é uma cidade de 78.000 habitantes, localizada 134 km ao norte de Londres, na Inglaterra. No início do século XIX, era muito comum os pais enviarem seus filhos para a Grammar School de Rugby para estudar, sobretudo, línguas.Em 1823, William Webb Ellis, aluno da instituição, enquanto jogava um tipo de futebol com as regras existentes na época, quebrou as regras pegando a bola com a mão e…

Il 1 novembre del 1823, durante una noiosa partita di calcio, il giovane William Webb Ellis, stufo delle meline e delle inutili trame di passaggi, raccolse la palla da terra e si involò verso il fondo linea avversario.

Nasceva così lo sport più bello di tutti.

Buon compleanno Rugby!

Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate (Mike Nichols, 1967)

Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, William Daniels, Murray Hamilton, Elizabeth Wilson, Buck Henry, Brian Avery, Walter Brooke, Norman Fell, Alice Ghostley, Marion Lorne, Eddra Gale. Screenplay: Calder Willingham, Buck Henry, based on a novel by Charles Webb. Cinematography: Robert Surtees. Production design: Richard Sylbert. Film editing: Sam O’Steen.

The Graduate and It Happened One Night (Frank Capra, 1934) are both fine examples of the "runaway bride" trope, but there the resemblance ends in irony. In the latter, Ellie (Claudette Colbert) balks at the altar and runs away, veil and train streaming, into the arms of Peter (Clark Gable), but we never see them together: The film ends with the sound of a toy trumpet and we see the "walls of Jericho" blanket falling. It's a gratifying "happy ending," in which order is brought out of chaos, which is the way a romantic comedy is traditionally supposed to end. But in The Graduate the situation is reversed: The wedding that is supposed to restore order ends in chaos, as Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) arrives to carry off Elaine (Katharine Ross), interrupting the nuptial kiss after the wedding is over. And then we see them together on the bus, as Nichols holds the camera on their faces just a little longer than he might: The smiles on their faces begin to fade, and uncertainty takes hold. We aren't supposed to wonder about what happens to Ellie and Peter, but we can't help feeling the chill of reality fall over Elaine and Benjamin. Watching The Graduate today, I find it a troubling, even cynical treatment of some serious themes. Benjamin, for example, seems to be designed as a comic figure, with his little gulps and tics and his awkwardness when faced with the seductive Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). But a more sympathetic viewer might diagnose him as clinically depressed, desperately being borne along by the tide of events, just as he's borne along by the moving sidewalk at the airport in the film's beginning, and then trying to avoid the consequences of the freedom he has earned by graduating. He escapes from the adult world into his room, with its burbling fish tank that foreshadows his underwater escape when he's expected to "perform" in the scuba gear he's been presented by his parents. When he does commit himself to a course of action, deciding suddenly and almost arbitrarily that he will marry Elaine, he has clearly lost his mind. And is there a sadder figure in movies than Mrs. Robinson, who lives in alcoholic denial of the disaster her life has become? Bancroft's performance in the scene in which Benjamin tries to get her to open up about her life is simply stunning. The screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry is the only really funny part of the film, with its classically quotable lines: "Plastics." "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. ... Aren't you?" "I think you're the most attractive of all my parents' friends." It's Nichols's direction that turns our attention to the reality undermining the comedy. The Graduate is often seen as a kind of twin to Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn, 1967): two films that announce an epochal shift in Hollywood, upending audience expectations by addressing themselves to a more sophisticated young audience. As a satire on upper-middle-class life in the mid-20th century that masquerades as a romantic comedy, The Graduate was enormously influential. I just can't make up my mind whether that influence was for the good.

O futebol e suas conexões maçônicas

Nem mesmo os mais fanáticos torcedores, incluindo jogadores e dirigentes, sabem que o futebol foi criado por maçons que usaram seus conhecimentos avançados e ocultos em alquimia para transformá-lo no esporte mais popular, rentável e adorado. As chaves essenciais desse jogo estão relacionadas a impulsos primitivos, símbolos, rituais e sacrifícios sagrados e são eles que iremos revelar e analisar a partir de agora.

Por Cláudio Suenaga

Como a febre do futebol monopoliza as atenções neste momento, aproveitemos para falar das muitas conexões do esporte bretão com a Maçonaria.

Certamente nem mesmo os mais apaixonados, fanáticos e devotos torcedores, sem mencionar os profissionais diretamente envolvidos como dirigentes, jornalistas, comentaristas, narradores e até técnicos e jogadores, sabem que as primeiras regras do moderno futebol foram elaboradas em 26 de outubro de 1863 numa reunião de maçons na Freemason’s Tavern, Great Queen Street nº 11, ao lado da Freemasons Hall, em Londres, ao mesmo tempo em que se formava a Associação de Futebol Inglês.

A Football Association nasceu em 1863 no Freemasons' Tavern, hoje The Freemason's Arms Pub, perto de Covent Garden, em Londres. O Freemasons' Hall de fica do outro lado da rua. Fotos: Freemasons for dummies.

A Football Association foi formada por proposta de Ebenezer Cobb Morley na Freemasons Tavern que ficava neste local. O futebol moderno nasceu neste dia 26 de outubro de 1863. Foto: London Remembers.

Nessa reunião participavam os representantes da “Liga de Rugby”, que eram a favor de permitir o uso das mãos, e da “Liga de Harrow”, inclinados a permitir apenas o uso dos pés e da cabeça. Os que eram favoráveis a permitir o uso das mãos retiraram-se da reunião, e foi assim que se estabeleceu a distinção entre rugby e futebol (soccer). O moderno rugby, cuja origem remonta aos gregos e romanos que disputavam jogos com esferas, episkyros e harpastum, surgiu em 1823 com William Webb Ellis (1806-1872), estudante da Rugby School – daí o nome –, que teria pego a bola com as mãos e seguido com ela até a linha de fundo adversária. Foi do rugby que surgiu o “futebol americano”.

As raízes maçônicas do futebol são vergonhosamente silenciadas. A mídia esportiva evita tocar no assunto. A omissão e cumplicidade dos jornalistas e historiadores é gritante. Antes que classifiquem tais atribuições como “lenda urbana” ou “teoria da conspiração”, recomendo que consultem o livro Laws of the Game (Regras do Jogo), de Adrian Roebuck, que traz as provas da formação da Football Association (Associação de Futebol) em 1863 e das primeiras regras do Futebol elaboradas após a reunião. Algumas páginas do livro estão expostas no National Football Museum (Museu Nacional do Futebol), em Manchester.

Foto do manuscrito original Laws of the Game elaborado para e em nome da Football Association pelo desportista Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924) em 1863 em exibição no National Football Museum, em Manchester. A caligrafia à esquerda é de Cobb Morley e diz: “Reunião de 24 de novembro de 1863 - Taberna dos Maçons” (“Meeting 24th November 1863 - Freemasons Tavern”).

As origens do futebol moderno podem ser perscrutadas até a Antiguidade. A versão mais antiga do jogo que se assemelha ao estabelecido pela Maçonaria era praticada pelos chineses da dinastia Han no século III a.C., que o chamavam de ts’uh Kúh (cuju) e que consistia em lançar uma bola com os pés para uma pequena rede.

Cinco ou seis séculos depois, surgiu no Japão uma variante chamada kemari, que tinha um caráter mais cerimonial, sendo o objetivo do jogo manter uma bola no ar passando-a entre os jogadores. Curiosamente, o kemari é praticado até hoje no Japão em eventos culturais.

As conotações ocultas ritualísticas e sacrificiais do futebol transparecem e ficam mais evidentes no jogo de bola mesoamericano, praticado ao longo de mais de 3.000 anos pelos olmecas, astecas e maias em tempos pré-colombianos. Os astecas chamavam os olmecas de “povo borracha” (do nauatle ulli, “borracha”), pois atribuíam a origem do jogo de bola a esse povo. Uma dúzia de bolas de borracha, com diâmetros entre 10 e 20 cm, foram encontradas em El Manatí, no Estado de Veracruz, um local sacrificial olmeca. Datadas de 1600 a.C., essas bolas de borracha estavam juntas com outras oferendas rituais, indicando que o jogo já tinha conotações religiosas e rituais, como tem até hoje, embora disfarçadas e transfiguradas, aliás como é típico da Maçonaria.

Os sacrifícios humanos tornaram-se um desfecho habitual para as partidas de jogo de bola. Os jogos cerimoniais incluíam o sacrifício do capitão e de outros jogadores da equipe derrotada. O crânio de um perdedor podia ser utilizado como o núcleo à volta do qual se fazia uma nova bola.

Jogar o jogo de bola era participar na manutenção da ordem cósmica do universo e regeneração ritual da vida, expresso na luta entre os deuses do dia e da noite ou entre os deuses do céu e senhores do inframundo. A bola simbolizava o sol, a lua e as estrelas, e os aros o nascer do sol, o pôr-do-sol e os equinócios.

Os maias foram os que mais se dedicaram à construção de campos de jogo de bola, que eram considerados portais para o inframundo. Os nobres maias do Período Clássico Tardio (550-830) eram ao mesmo tempo guerreiros e jogadores de bola. Os prisioneiros de guerra jogavam bola com os vitoriosos, com um desfecho pré-determinado. Após o jogo, chamado de pok ta pok, os cativos eram decapitados e os seus corações eram arrancados num sacrifício de sangue. As paredes do principal campo de jogo de bola de Chichén Itzá, o maior da Mesoamérica, retrata o líder da equipe vencedora segurando a cabeça decapitada do líder perdedor, que se encontra de joelhos com sangue em forma de serpentes a jorrar do seu pescoço. Uma gravura em seis paineis de Chichén Itzá, mostra uma cena do Popol Vuh (registro documental da cultura maia produzido no século XVI) indicando o significado cosmológico do jogo de bola na cultura maia.

Já os astecas viam no jogo de bola, que chamavam de tlachtli, uma batalha entre as forças da noite lideradas pela lua e as estrelas representadas pela deusa Coyolxauhqui e os seus filhos Centzonuitznaua, e o sol personificado por Huitzilopochtli.

O tlachtli consistia em tentar arremessar uma bola de látex através de um aro feito de pedra.

No Mediterrâneo, havia o harpasto (do latim harpastum, que significa "lágrima" ou "rasgado a força") em Roma, e o epísquiro (que significa "bola comum") na Grécia, que já possuíam muitas das característias do futebol moderno. O primeiro era disputado por duas equipes em um terreno retangular demarcado e dividido pela metade por uma linha. Os jogadores de cada equipe podiam passar uma pequena bola entre eles, e o objetivo do jogo era enviá-la ao campo. Essa variante muito popular entre os anos 700 e 800 foi introduzida nas Ilhas Britânicas. O epísquiro era jogado por duas equipes entre 12 e 14 jogadores cada aos quais se permitia o uso das mãos.

O quanto essas antigas práticas estão vinculadas com o costume dos invasores ingleses de chutarem a cabeça dos inimigos e com a violência do futebol moderno é discutível. Indubitável é o fato de que as regras do futebol foram determinadas pelo Grão-Mestre da Loja nº 11, daí porque uma partida é disputada entre duas equipes com 11 jogadores cada e quatro árbitros escalados para garantir que as normas maçônicas sejam cumpridas. Ademais, o 11 é um número icônico na alquimia, um dos mais usados pelos illuminati – os outros são o 9, o 13 e o 33 –, principalmente em eventos mundiais importantes, como por exemplo a Segunda Guerra Mundial, que terminou exatamente às 11h11, o pouso lunar da Apollo 11, o ataque às Torres Gêmeas de 11 de Setembro e outros eventos de monta.

As primeiras equipes foram duas universidades inglesas – Oxford e Cambridge, que, como sabemos, são membros honorários da Ordem dos Maçons.

Todos os emblemas e escudos dos clubes de futebol inglês possuem símbolos maçônicos e até escancaradamente satânicos, como o Manchester United.

Em cada detalhe deste “esporte rei”, encontraremos as chaves básicas da simbologia ocultista maçônica.

Convencionou-se que o jogo seria disputado em um retângulo verde, de grama natural ou sintética, com um arco em cada lado do campo. O verde é a cor que simboliza a eternidade. O retângulo é dividido em dois quadrados, sendo o quadrado duplo um símbolo de iniciação por excelência. Neste símbolo está inscrito a seção dourada ou divina.

No centro do campo há um círculo com um ponto no centro dele. É o símbolo do ouro na alquimia ou o símbolo do sol, tão recorrente desde tempos antigos.

Os cantos do campo de jogo que se delimitam em quatro simbolizam os quatro arcanos menores do tarô: Terra (Ouros), Ar (Espadas), Fogo (Paus) e Água (Copas).

A soma dos jogadores de ambas as equipes é de 22, assim como 22 são os hierofantes (sacerdotes Illuminati). 22 também é um número iniciatório ritual icônico. O sânscrito possui 22 letras principais, assim como 22 são os grandes arcanos do tarô e os polígonos regulares da matemática.

Em uma partida, se uma das equipes estiver com menos de 7 jogadores, o jogo não pode prosseguir, assim como uma sessão maçônica não pode ser aberta se não estiverem presente 7 membros.

O objetivo estipulado é, do centro do campo (o deus exterior), fazer penetrar a bola (o deus interior, despertado pela iluminação) no arco oponente (o ego, o templo) com qualquer parte do corpo que não seja as mãos ou os braços, principalmente com os pés. A equipe que marcar mais gols em 90 minutos sagra-se vencedora.

A bola, composta de pentagramas e hexagramas (símbolos ocultistas e satânicos), simboliza o nosso planeta, que é pisoteado por hierofantes. Uma das equipes representa as forças da “luz” (o Sol), enquanto a outra as forças das trevas (a Lua), daí a tradição das equipes usarem cores claras e escuras para se distinguirem. As bolas das Copas de 1970 a 1994 eram pentágonos-hexágonos preto e branco, como o piso dos templos maçônicos, que simboliza a dualidade interna.

O jogo evoluiu mantendo o espírito maçônico de "igualdade e fraternidade" – sem distinção de nacionalidade, raça, ideologia, religião ou sexo – da sua fundação. Independentemente do resultado, os jogadores trocavam camisas no final da partida, uma expressão que enfatiza o valor da tolerância, outro princípio maçônico.

Todo esse bacanal maçônico, como não poderia deixar de ser, é acompanhado de orgias e sacrifícios humanos que visam aplacar os deuses do sol e da lua. Não é à toa que brigas entre torcedores e jogadores, agressões, assassinatos, devassidão, embriaguez, etc., desde sempre fizeram parte do futebol.

A Maçonaria tratou de espalhar o futebol para todos os cantos do mundo fundando clubes, associações e incentivando o desporto.

Um exemplo disso é a nossa grande rival Argentina, onde o futebol chegou por meio de viajantes ingleses, muitos dos quais eram maçons. Entre 1901 e 1910 foram criados 32 clubes, todos ligados a estações ferroviárias e lojas maçônicas.

Muitos dos imigrantes italianos que se estabeleceram no bairro de La Boca, nas margens do Riachuelo, em Buenos Aires, eram maçons.

O River Plate também foi fundado por maçons (em 25 de maio de 1901), e as cores que ostenta em sua camisa correspondem ao avental e a faixa vermelha do Mestre Maçom da época. O seu primeiro campo foi em Sarandi, coincidindo com a linha ferroviária sul de Buenos Aires. A presença de funcionários e empregados britânicos no desenvolvimento ferroviário argentino favoreceu a criação de lojas maçônicas nas imediações das estações. A exemplo da Argentina, muitos outros países tiveram os seus clubes de futebol fundados pela Maçonaria.

Três poderosos dirigentes envolvidos em inúmeros escândalos de corrupção eram maçons: Nicolás Leoz (1928-2019), dirigente esportivo paraguaio que foi presidente da Confederação Sul-americana de Futebol (CONMEBOL) entre 1986 e 2013, Júlio Grondona (1931-2014), presidente da Associação Argentina de Futebol (Asociación del Fútbol Argentino) de 1979 a 2014 e vice-presidente Executivo e Presidente Financeiro da Federação Internacional de Futebol (FIFA), e Ricardo Teixeira (1947-), presidente da Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) de 1989 a 2012. Os três dirigentes são maçons e frequentavam a mesma loja maçônica em Foz do Iguaçu (PR), onde uma vez por mês traçavam os destinos do futebol sul-americano.

Nicolás Leoz (esq, de terno preto), Júlio Grondona (extrema esq., de perfil) e Ricardo Teixeira (centro) em reunião do Comitê Executivo da Conmebol, em 28 de abril de 2010. Foto: Getty Images.

No início dos anos 90, eles decidiram dividir todas as glórias do futebol continental apenas entre Argentina e Brasil. Não por acaso, quase todos os títulos da Libertadores da América desde então foram apenas para os dois países. Eles contavam com o apoio de diversas sociedades secretas europeias que atuavam juntas com a UEFA (Union of European Football Associations), a FIFA, a Nike e a Adidas, patrocinadores da AFA (Asociación del Fútbol Argentino) e da CBF. O objetivo principal era a revelação e superexposição de craques para serem vendidos à Europa em um mercado de bilhões de dólares em negociações, patrocínios, venda de camisas, etc.

Nos últimos anos, a FIFA esteve envolvida em diversos escândalos de corrupção, entre eles o de arranjar os resultados de jogos. É evidente que a FIFA, intimamente ligada à máfia empresarial que comanda o futebol, tem nítida e assumida preferência por determinados clubes e jogadores em detrimento de outros, já que rendem centenas de milhões de dólares por evento. Pululam denúncias por parte de técnicos de que patrocinadores, empresários e dirigentes lhes impunham a convocação de determinados jogadores sob suas tutelas.

A FIFA, assim como toda a estrutura de poder no topo da pirâmide, está associada com a Maçonaria e os Illuminati e por isso usa e abusa de simbologia astrológica, numerológica, cabalística, ocultista e satânica em geral para deixar sua marca nos indivíduos e controlar as massas. Pesquisadores e jornalistas independentes, taxados pejorativamente de “teóricos da conspiração”, puseram tudo isso à mostra de forma cabal nos últimos anos.
