COMMENT POSTED TO THE GUARDIAN
I'm happy for Mr Blatter.
I have no idea whether American corruption charges against
other officials have any validity. After all, America lies to us pretty much
around the clock about what it is doing in many things.
In a very real sense, there is no more corrupt organization
than America's government. Its members are the best government money can buy in
a set of elections based on vast fortunes donated by special interests. Even
much of America’s foreign policy is for sale.
I have no idea whether Blatter was aware of any corruption
by others, but it doesn't really matter.
I don't think there can be any doubt that America had an
agenda here to take away the World Cup from Russia. America really will stop at
almost nothing to punish Russia's rational response to an America’s induced coup
and chaotic war in neighboring Ukraine.
