🚨🤍 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Yan Diomande emotional letter to his late sister:
"Dear Roxane,
Remember when somebody bought me a fake United jersey, and I wrote Ronaldo 7 on the back with the black marker?"
"We didn’t know rich or poor. We just knew happiness."
"Remember 25 people sleeping in one house back in Abidjan? Mum wanted to watch her soap operas. Everyone else wanted to watch movies. Remember how I always used to fake like I was asleep and then go into the TV room after midnight? I’d put the TV on real low. Just like 2 volume bars. I’d watch football in the dark and dream."
"Remember when the adults saw me playing football in the dirt and nicknamed me “Roberto Carlos” because of how hard I would shoot? And remember how I was secretly so mad about it, because CR7 was my idol?"
"Remember when I went to play so far from home? I was 9 years old. Inter Foot Sud Comoé, all the way near the Ghana border. Just a little boy on his own. I don’t know if I ever told you this story, but me and the other kids used to go into the village and steal potatoes because we were so hungry. We did a “bank heist.” Two kids distracting the shop owner, and 18 other kids running out with two potatoes. They weren’t even good. But they tasted amazing. Hahahah. It’s still my favorite thing to eat. Boiled potatoes with some oil. It reminds me of those times."
"Remember when I got my first real football boots, and I used to sleep with them? Growing up, I always played in those white plastic sandals. Even when I go back home now, I still play in them. It’s our tradition."
"Remember when I would come back home, and you would tell my friends from the neighborhood, “Why did you stop training? Yan is not going to buy you cars. You have to keep working."
"You were 10 years old, and already my agent."
"Remember how we used to sit and dream about moving to France? How we were going to go shopping and get our own apartment and I was going to be a rich footballer with cars and a big house, and you wouldn’t have to worry about nothing. You were the one who always believed that I could be the next Cristiano, when everybody else laughed."
"Remember when I moved to America for high school at 15, and I was so homesick? I didn’t know what anybody was saying for months. They sat me next to a French kid, and he tried to translate everything the teacher was saying. Remember when I called you, saying, “You won’t believe it, the kids here argue with teachers."
"Back home, you know we wouldn’t even dare to blink at our elders."
"Remember when I couldn’t believe the kids were smoking after school? You used to say it sounded like I was in an American TV show."
"Remember when they took me on trial at Bournemouth? At Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiacos, Crystal Palace? Eze and Olise even came up to me after one training and said, “Yo kid, you’re really good.”"
"But they still didn’t sign me."
"Even the B teams in the MLS didn’t want me. I didn’t even know why. They never gave me a reason. The adults handled everything. They just kept taking me all around Europe, and everybody kept saying no."
"My visa was up. My dream was over. They sent me back to Africa, and we cried together."
"You were the one who never stopped believing. A few weeks later, I signed for Leganés and we cried different tears."
"That was back when I used to have emotions. Now, I don’t feel anything. It’s like I’m not even human. Since you died, I’m just blank."
"I don’t even think I shed a tear the day they told me that you were gone. I was just in shock."
"It was a few weeks after I made my debut for Leganés. Who makes their debut at 18 against Real Madrid? It was too crazy. It was a dream."
"And then it was a nightmare. Someone kept calling me from back home. I was annoyed. I didn’t understand why they kept calling me."
"I picked up, and they didn’t even soften it. You know how it is back home. No emotions. Just……..
“Your sister is gone.”
“What?”
“She died.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Somebody put something in her drink at a party, and she never woke up. She is gone.”
"You were 15."
"15."
"I never got any answers. I don’t know if I want to know why. Maybe it was jealousy. Maybe it’s just something that happens in our country. Maybe I could have protected you. I don’t know."
"I try to trust God’s plan. It’s all I can do. I don’t try to forget, because I know I won’t forget. All I can do is use the pain to work harder, and to do everything we dreamed about."
"I wrote this because I can’t speak about it. I wrote this because I want you to know that I will make sure that you live on. I will make sure that everybody knows your name. The whole world."
"Everything I do on a football pitch, it’s for you."
"So much has happened since I last saw you…… You would not even believe it. I don’t know if I believe it."
"You know what’s crazy? After my debut against Madrid, I actually swapped shirts with Mbappé. Remember when we used to watch him on TV, and you’d say, “Mbappé? Yeah, he’s good. But my brother is better.”
"I was wrong about one thing. I don’t want to be rich. I see what it does to people, even to family. When I was at Leganés, everything I was earning, I was sending home. It got to the point where I didn’t even want money anymore. It was just a burden. They never stopped asking. I guess they thought I was a millionaire already. I didn’t even have an apartment. I was living at the training ground in a room with no TV. Just football and sleep, football and sleep."
"I didn’t want a big house. I didn’t want cars. I just wanted to put everything into football. Everything to show the world that my sister was right……."
"Ha…. you will think this is funny. When I moved to play at RB Leipzig, I was always late. Well, not late. But I was on time, which in Germany means you’re very late."
"So you already know what I did next. I started arriving 90 minutes early to everything. I was so early all the time that the guys started calling me “The German.”"
"I always have to overdo everything. I have zero chill. You always said that."
"The pitch is the only place that I feel at home anymore. It’s the place where I feel calm, and I can speak to you. I just wish you were still here so I could tell you….. We did it."
"Everything you said came true."
"We’re leaving for the World Cup tomorrow. For real. Your brother is going to play for Côte d'Ivoire, like Drogba, like Yaya, like Gervinho."
"I don’t even look at it like a game. I look at it like a stage. This is my chance to show the whole world what you saw in me. Every time I score, I’ll make sure everybody knows your name. I’ll make sure they don’t forget you."
"You always said that I could be better than Cristiano. If I see him there, I’ll tell him hello for you."
"I’m going to do what you predicted, I swear. Before I even had real boots, you were telling everybody, “My brother is going to be the greatest in the world.”
"I will prove that you were right, or I will die trying... Your brother, Yan."

Os he listado los nombres. No están todos los que son, pero son todos los que están (podría añadir más). Ahora, sigamos mirando para otro lado e ignorando qué cojones está haciendo realmente China en España 👇
Llevo desde ayer viendo a ministros, como Mónica García, y a otros pseudoperiodistas tertulianos sincronizados, como Chema Garrido, repetir que Aldama "se queda los millones de las mascarillas, conserva el botín".
Para un tuit queda muy bien. Pero ahí dentro hay varias cosas metidas en el mismo saco que la sentencia aclara perfectamente, y al analizarlas su relato se desinfla.
Empecemos por lo que ganó.
Como intermediario se llevó 3,7 millones por los contratos de Puertos y ADIF, que son los dos que juzga esta sentencia.
Por el negocio entero de las mascarillas, sumando los de Interior, Canarias y Baleares, que aquí no entran, fueron 6,6 millones.
Pero la cifra de este juicio, y la del lío que viene ahora, es la de 3,7. Esa es su comisión, su margen como empresario.
La confusión empieza porque la Fiscalía le pedía una multa por esa misma cifra. Pero una multa es un castigo, y todo castigo cuelga de un delito.
Este colgaba del de información privilegiada, y la cantidad coincide con la comisión solo porque la ley ordena calcular esa multa sobre lo que ganaste.
El Supremo absuelve a los tres de ese delito. Al irse el delito, esa multa se queda sin nada a lo que agarrarse y desaparece.
Aquí mucha gente dirá, con toda la razón: la multa vale, pero que le quiten la comisión y a otra cosa.
Eso ya es otra figura distinta, el decomiso, y es donde se lía casi todo el mundo. El decomiso sirve para arrebatarte el dinero que sale de un delito.
¿Y cuál es el dinero del cohecho?
El soborno: lo que se pagó para comprar al ministro, los 10.000 euros al mes y los alquileres, 430.298 euros en total.
Eso sí se confisca, y responden los tres.
Pero el soborno y la comisión son dos bolsillos distintos.
La comisión es lo que Aldama ganó como empresario vendiendo las mascarillas, no el dinero de la mordida.
Por eso el decomiso alcanza al soborno y deja fuera la comisión.
Te preguntarás si no se le podría quitar entonces como ganancia de la prevaricación, por haber amañado el contrato.
Pues tampoco.
De la prevaricación también salen absueltos, y por el motivo que sostiene toda la sentencia: la adjudicación fue legal.
Procedimiento de emergencia válido y, atención, un precio por debajo del mercado.
Lo certifica el Tribunal de Cuentas: la mascarilla se compró a 2,50 euros cuando la media de aquellos meses andaba en 3,38 en marzo y 3,65 en abril.
Vamos, que se compró barato y a nadie le clavaron nada. No hubo “pelotazo”.
Si no hubo perjuicio en el precio, y no hubo trampa en el procedimiento de la adjudicación, no hay dinero público que rescatar de esa comisión. Por eso no se pide decomisarla.
Aldama conserva el grueso de lo que ganó y se ahorra la cárcel, cierto. Lo primero no es por colaborar es porque le han absuelto de esos delitos, lo segundo, sí.
Hay que ser serios cuando se analiza una sentencia. Pero qué vamos a esperar, si solo siguen consignas de Ferraz.
La posible financiación irregular del PSOE mediante los cupos de petróleo venezolano obliga a mirar algunos "acontecimientos" recientes de forma mucho más inquisitiva. También el nombramiento de Pedro Sánchez como presidente de la Internacional Socialista en noviembre de 2022.
Lo que hasta ahora podía parecer una medalla partidista, una plataforma de prestigio (la izquierda internacional) o una recompensa simbólica adquiere una dimensión muy diferente cuando se conecta en una trama mayor donde Venezuela aporta recursos opacos (cupos de petróleo, pero no solo) y contactos políticos; España ofrece acceso institucional, influencia en la UE y cobertura diplomática; y China pone el músculo financiero, la capacidad comercial y las estrategia global de influencia.
La pregunta clave, por tanto, no es sólo si parte de ese dinero (el obtenido por los cupos de petróelo) pudo servir para sostener una maquinaria política. Es qué podía obtenerse a cambio.
La presidencia de la Internacional Socialista coloca a Sánchez al frente de una organización con presencia en decenas de países de África, Iberoamérica y Asia: casualmente el espacio que Pekín denomina Sur Global y donde libra una batalla larga, paciente y muy bien planificada para eliminar la influencia occidental, acaparar mercados, asegurar materias primas y obtener alianzas políticas sumisas.
No haría falta imaginar una conspiración. Bastaría con entender la utilidad real de la operación. Una Internacional Socialista presidida desde Madrid y contralada por el PSOE (aliado declarado de Pekín) puede convertirse en una formidable red de contactos, legitimidades y mediaciones; un nodo desde el que conectar gobiernos, partidos, empresarios, organismos internacionales y agendas políticas bajo el eufemismo de la cooperación, la encantadora transición verde o el camelo de la justicia global. China no necesita controlar de forma visible esa estructura para beneficiarse de que sus intereses estén allí perfectamente representados mediante interlocutores, socios y canales de penetración.
El nombramiento de Sánchez no probaría por sí mismo ningún delito. Pero, si las investigaciones sobre los cupos de petróelo venezolano terminaran demostrando una financiación irregular, dejaría de ser un detalle menor de su biografía. Pasaría a parecer una pieza clave y fncional de una arquitectura bastante sospechosa: dinero y recursos procedentes de Venezuela, influencia política articulada desde España y expansión china en el Sur Global.
Mires donde mires, siempre aparece China.
@7asteros@Goslar_Harz@EuroLeague@Olympiacos_BC 😅 good point. Pero justo, el incidente de Lamonica es una muestra de como el baloncesto griego ha podrido el baloncesto europeo, concretamente os Euroliga. (Igual que el turco por cierto).
Es de primero de madridismo florecer en primavera. Es de primero de primavera sentir a los tuyos, que en estos días, son también los nuestros. Por muy oscura que sea la derrota, siempre tendrás un recuerdo feliz con nuestra camiseta. Id. Sed felices. Los locos son ellos. Que arda
@velardedaoiz2@vinijr Normalmente estoy de acuerdo contigo en el tema vini, pero concretamente hoy los dos goles nacen por errores suyos (y por falta de actitud) y por ahora no está aportando nada. Normal que se oigan pitos
El caos en Siria está acelerando la “evacuación” de combatientes de élite del Estado Islámico hacia el Sahel africano.
No es migración espontánea.
Es una reubicación estratégica.
Hay un solo hombre en la historia capaz de decir que echó a Enzo Ferrari de su propia escudería. No fue un millonario, ni un piloto, sino un ingeniero español que usaba zapatos de suela de goma para "proteger su cerebro": Wifredo Ricart. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
