Music’s always made for the listener but the first listener is always the creator

Six weeks ago, Chuck Schumer, Dan Goldman, Jerry Nadler, Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, Vanessa Gibson, and Mark Levine all marched in the Israel Day Parade alongside this monster.

This is why political education is important. He’s talking about cooperative ownership, but because the player/owners are millionaires/billionaires it sounds like something more complicated.

🚨🧵 ESCÁNDALO MUNDIAL: Ya salió a la luz la investigación de Romain Molina, expuesta toda la podredumbre que envuelve a la AFA y a la FIFA. Se habla de un desvío de más de 300 millones de dólares que fueron lavados por los directivos de la AFA. El FBI ya está investigando... ¿Le habrá tocado algo a INFANTINO?

Lo más relevante de esta investigación es lo que ocurrió solo nueve días antes de que Argentina se consagrara campeona del mundo en Qatar (evento que muchos conocen como "El Robo del Siglo"). El presidente de la AFA, el “Chiqui” Tapia, otorgó un contrato de representación comercial de forma express a una empresa recién creada en Miami (sí, donde hoy juega Messi) llamada Tour Proenter.

Esta empresa fue fundada solo tres meses antes del torneo por un productor de teatro y político argentino: Javier Faroni. O sea, antes de empezar el mundial, este político ya tenía en sus manos un negocio para explotar comercialmente a Argentina… ¿Cómo sabía que la albiceleste haría un papel tan perfecto? El contrato se firmó a 9 días de la final; para ese entonces, queda claro que Tapia ya sabía que Argentina sería campeona del mundo sí o sí.

Pero esto se pone aún peor: todos los multimillonarios ingresos generados por los “éxitos” de la selección (derechos de TV, patrocinadores y premios de la FIFA) jamás llegaron a las cuentas de la AFA. En su lugar, entraron directamente a esta empresa en Miami, la cual se quedaba con una insólita comisión del 30%.

¿De verdad me están diciendo que un hombre arriesgó su patrimonio para crear una empresa en Miami (repito: donde juega Messi) con la simple "esperanza" de que Argentina hiciera una buena Copa del Mundo y que al final le saliera la jugada? Ni los empresarios más arriesgados del planeta hacen algo así. Es obvio que este sujeto sabía perfectamente que la FIFA ayudaría a Argentina a llegar a la final y coronarse campeona.

El esquema incluyó empresas pantalla en Bariloche: más de 40 millones de dólares fueron dispersados desde bancos estadounidenses hacia una red de empresas fantasma a nombre de prestanombres (personas con deudas previas o empleos comunes que, de pronto, pasaron a recibir millones y a justificar retornos monetarios falsificando prestaciones de servicios).

Casualmente, la vida de Tapia se llenó de lujos y excentricidades: mansiones en Miami, yates en Mónaco y jets privados. ¿Pagados por él? Por supuesto que no, todo financiado por la firma comercial en Miami.

Mientras tanto, el departamento legal de la FIFA, encabezado por Emilio García —quien es íntimo amigo de los dirigentes de la Conmebol y de la AFA—, se ha hecho de la vista gorda y no pretende investigar a los directivos argentinos.

Es una mafia total y seguramente enormes tajadas van a parar a las arcas de la FIFA a través de estos prestanombres y la firma en Miami. Ahora todo tiene sentido.

Rutte is basically saying that if Israel were to attack Turkey, a NATO member, NATO would side with Israel and wouldn’t respond

[Brian 🍄 @Is_Not_Brian]

This is maybe the most disorienting & upsetting developments recently. I can't believe how easy it was to get their hooks into Latin America.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Trump's instinct for self-preservation is usually very strong, but nothing could motivate Israel to want to assassinate him more than this statement:

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.

There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.

[Clarence Avant Jr. @OGPrinceAGAIN]

He was so right about the bar for being smartest in the room is low af in the league because for weeks we’ve heard nba players tell us how hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t enough money… meanwhile I’ve never once heard any of them mention any of this shit lol.

[wiii ball @g6oner]

okay what the actual fuck is this

[MK @onlyMKxx]

This is such a weird, off-putting, and uniquely American trait it makes me cringe so hard bc you encounter it every aspect of our society

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports

That’s what you American Neanderthals are not understanding.

Lamine Yamal was scouted by Barcelona when he was FUCKING 6-YEARS OLD! THATS THE TIME THE YOUTH GET DEVELOPED! NOT FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL, NOT FUCKING COLLEGE! BY 17 YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE B-SQUAD OR A BACKUP!

Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.

“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”

“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”

“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”

“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”

“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”

“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”

“That’s not a good system to create good players.”

[Renzo™ @fwrenzo1]

The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And half of you believe him.

My question is why CNN is allowing Benjamin Netanyahu on their show

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🇱🇧 The mayors, mukhtars, and local leaders of 15 predominantly Christian villages in southern Lebanon have rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim on Fox News that they sought annexation by Israel.

In a joint statement reported by L’Orient Today, they called the allegation “completely fabricated,” saying they remain committed to Lebanon’s sovereignty and are “proud of their national identity.” Several of the villages remain isolated inside Israel’s occupation zone in southern Lebanon.

Israel just bombed this

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

I’m trying to imagine being 20 years old and being ordered to torture an elderly celebrated physician who’s being endlessly detained without charges. Most would refuse that order. It’s an indictment of Israeli society that they seem to have no problem finding people to do it.

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Sama Safi is a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student who has been held in an Israeli military prison without charge.

Soldiers took her from her family's home at 3 a.m. exactly a month ago on June 2. She told them she was an American but they didn't care.
