Warner: “It Was The Joooooos”
Posted on October 17, 2011 3:39 pm
Over the past few months, as we’ve watched FIFA being slowly but surely exposed, layer by ever-uglier layer, as nothing more than a bunch of low thugs and grasping thieves with the moral authority of so many aging painted up street whores, one thing at least has remained constant:
/Still-6-Jack-Warner-Doorstep-(2).jpg)
When cornered, Jack Warner simply bares his fangs a little more.
So when Trinidad & Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar had to bow to reality and forward that tape of Jack Warner openly discussing his complicity in bringing at least a million dollars in foreign currency into the country illegally to her Attorney General for his consideration, you knew Warner was due for another round of angry threats, irrational accusations and nasty mudslinging.
But having already pointed the finger at a) the US (they’re mad at me because I didn’t deliver the World Cup, b) white people (they are tired of us uppity blacks being in charge of CONCACAF), and c) Europeans (it’s all a conspiracy to hand FIFA to France “forever”) who else could he blame for this?
Obviously, the Jews.
Like most modern day anti-Semites, he figured he could get away with this by referring to them as Zionists (at least when AFA President Julio Grondona told the media that Jews can’t be referees because they’re too lazy he had the honesty to call them “Jews”) but somehow, trying to claim that Israel is behind his troubles would be a tough sell even at a skinhead rally.
This particular account came in a letter which Warner reportedly sent to the Trinidad Guardian in which, once again, he uses the term “tsunami” to describe the shitstorm he intends to bring down on FIFA at some later – as yet undetermined – date.
Thus, when that day comes:
“I will talk about the Zionism, which probably is the most important reason why this acrid attack on Bin Hammam and me was mounted.”
For the record, I am not at all certain but I believe that Chuck Blazer is Jewish, and I don’t believe it to be coincidental.
For some reason the Guardian is only excerpting the letter today, saying they will publish it in full tomorrow, but the highlighted portions are a repetition of old charges combined with some stuff everybody already knows (and which he likely can’t prove) about Blatter’s elections in 1998 and 2002, and some explosive new accusations, such when he passes along this campaign anecdote:
“That was the first time I met the present Deputy Chairman of FIFA Ethics Committee, Petrus Damaseb, at the time the president of the Namibia FA. I will tell the world what gift Bin Hammam gave to him then, which was not a bribe then as he has ruled today.”
(I’d point out that Bin Hammam wasn’t running for anything at the time and so he could legally give Damaseb anything he wanted to but that might spoil the fun).
Like most (all?) Warner pronouncements, it contains its fair share of non-sequiters.
Thus, “The FIFA has tried to muzzle me with threats of a worldwide suspension” despite the fact that since he’s voluntarily resigned from every single football post he held it’s hard to see what it is FIFA could suspend him from.
He’s also pretty riled up about how his son Daryan is being tossed overboard:
“They have said that they will close down the FIFA Development Office in Trinidad by year end. They have advised that they will terminate my son’s 2012 contract at the end of this year.”
And he’s also still pissed that FIFA has canceled his theft of Caribbean World Cup TV rights. He apparently doesn’t get the concept that nepotism and the like only works when you’re the guy in charge. Once you’ve quit, nobody feels the need to put up with your crooked halfwit son any more.
Overall though, the big question that nobody much is asking is simply this:
Why is it he’s waiting so long to unleash his long-promised “tsunami”?
Could it be that he thinks if he rattles enough cages that FIFA will come back and make a deal to ensure his silence?
If so, the betting here is that he’s dead wrong.
I’d say this keeps getting better and better but I hate to repeat myself so often. I’m just wondering Bill, what will you do when this all ends? Go back to reporting on the actual game or decide to go out on top via immolation?
I would like nothing better than to go back to offending Toronto twice a week.
I don’t get all the moral high ground fuss with all things FIFA. Every large democratic system in the world has it’s issues, so why would a monster the size of FIFA be any different?
Like it or not, this is what the character of democracy has always looked like within the biggest of our institutions. The bigger the institution, the bigger it’s faults, and you don’t get too many things out there with the reach and appeal of world footballs governing body.
The power and reach of FIFA is ridiculous right now, and will only continue to get bigger in the near future too. Outing the snakes now will only refine the system that protects them.
Even though it sounds hard to believe, at some point bigger snakes/douchebags than Jack Warner are guaranteed to return to FIFA’s positions of power.
Greed culture with the opportunities which easy money politics can bring, will provide a smooth and swift return to the dodgy dealing politics we all know governs FIFA. The question is will we pretend to be outraged when the decisions start to go in favour of the sports worlds established nations once again?
I don’t think this is specific to democracies – in fact, I suspect it would be even be more prevalent in non-democratic institutions of similar size with a greed culture and opportunities for easy money.
Everything now deemed negative about FIFA has been in circulation for decades, but nobody cared as long as they issued favours to the worlds top sporting nations, using the exact same money driven democratic process that we still see in use now.
Problems of fair criticism against FIFA arise though, when we have all turned a blind eye to similar issues within our wider business driven society. Every democratic process driven by finance seems to come with similar faults, faults that lead to rules being bent to the very limits of ethical judgement. So while we now laugh at Warner, he’s only been doing what the democratic process of FIFA and the nations he dealt with would tolerate.
While Jack Warner is a ridiculously deluded dickhead, he only repeats and copies the behaviors of his peers from other sections of the business world. Once the dust settles, his replacement will go back to making sure his boss remains in power too.
We all laugh at Jackie boy now, but certain FIFA execs and their corporate sponsors get the last laugh in the end. With the next two world cups being where they are, everybody involved with FIFA are due pay days like never before.
I think there’s either a lot of naive or very hypocritical people out there right now, people who just want to get back at FIFA for various decisions they made in favour of nations we deem inferior or undeserving.
I mean should we honestly believe the behavior of FIFA’s top men has been any worse than that of any other major democratic organisation? Especially organisations with the level of global significance as FIFA right now?
YEAH, JEWS! ZIONIST CONSPIRACIES! ISRAEL HAS WON THE LAST 3 WORLD CUPS!
Bravo. Thanks for the laugh.
Warner wasn’t blaming his current situation on the Jews, he was blaming it on “the Juice”, O.J. Simpson.
Wouldn’t be the first time they framed OJ.
Chuck Blazer would be the only Jew who looks like Santa Claus.
‘Joooooos’
The correct spelling has 4 O’s not 6.
Worldwide suspension? They are going to banish Warner to the moon?
Really, Warner? Are you seriously doing this?
Yeah, sure…. they’ve been the world’s punching-bag for their entire existance; they can take a little more heat.
But his logic makes sense: it’s still the US’s fault, and everybody knows USA = New York, and New York = Jews.
“QED, bitch” — Jack Warner
Looking forward to reading the whole letter in tomorrow’s Guardian. I’d say the excerpts indicate he’s a real nut job, but that would be offensive to…well nut jobs.
Didn’t you know that manipulating CONCACAF politics is at the top of the to-do list of every West Bank settler?
Hush now! They’ve done such a good job making this whole Palestine red herring work for them.
When all else fails, blame the Jews!
Are we sure he said Jews? I could’ve sworn he said that it was the Dukes. Those crazy boys wagering on whether black people can become solid executives. When will they learn?
Huh?
Trading Places.
Juve merda, but that’s what he’s talking about.
Wish i could find the video of Akroyd choking Murphy as Murphy is trying to say “It was the Dukes, It was the Dukes!”
not great quality, but:

I thought he was talking about those good ole boys, never meanin no harm, beats all you ever saw been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. Makin their way, the only way they know how, that’s just a little bit more than the law will allow.
If my great-grandfather threw fits like Warner’s, he have a hear attack.
At what point does this get really ugly and Jack brings in some droogs to make his “points” more directly? But then I suppose only if he’d calculated his profit from it.
Mel Gibson is back….with Glenn Beck as Ricardo Teixeira….George Lucas as Chuck Blazer……and Herman Cain as Jack Warner…..”The Jack Warner Story” Rated OMG. In theaters April 30 2012.
A surefire blockbuster? No……a deadly tsunami!
Where is the Anti-Defamation League when there is actually someone who deserves to have them up his ass?
