THREAD
Every day there is more evidence that the IOC and its President Thomas Bach are not to be trusted. The IOC is an obscene Olympic lying machine. It is currently producing nothing but dirty propaganda #RussiaWar #Ukraine.
Let me prove this to with a disgraceful example
/1 Image
On 28 March, the IOC and its Deity Bach claimed: Russia's war of destruction in the Ukraine was only one of some 70 armed conflicts and wars in the world.
They relied on an analysis by the @CrisisGroup.
They knew exactly what they were doing ...
/2 Image
Thomas Bach and his propaganda servants wanted to create the impression that the war of extermination in Ukraine was nothing earth-shattering at all, but merely one of more than 70 armed conflicts+wars.
This is wrong in several respects.
It is a deliberate IOC falsification.
/3
The IOC's filthy, unconscionable propaganda was unfortunately disseminated unchecked in media around the world. The world should never believe anything Bach/IOC claim. Propaganda with distorting alleged studies/analyses/statistics has been part of Bach's business for decades.
/4
I sent the Crisis Group a dozen questions last week. Among other things, I naturally wanted to know how the IOC's claims were assessed. Unfortunately, the questions were not answered in detail. The Crisis Group gave an evasive diplomatic answer today.
/5
"Crisis Group has not engaged with or provided specific information to the IOC."

But even the Crisis Group's diplomatic response leaves no other conclusion than that the IOC's claims are a propagandistic distortion of the analysis.
/6 Image
I I first awaited the Crisis Group's responses to detailed questions. In the meantime, @RichPerelman has summarised the analysis in his TSX REPORT. I have put these 72 crisis (which have been distorted by the IOC) into an Excel spreadsheet. The overview based on Rich's work...
/7
Europe & Central Asia - 14 entries re 13 countries.
One war of extermination condemned by the United Nations. Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
/8 Image
Africa - 24 entries re 24 countries.
No war of extermination condemned by the United Nations.
/9 Image
The Americas - 7 entries re 7 countries.
No war of extermination condemned by the United Nations.
/10 Image
Asia - 15 entries re 13 countries.
No war of extermination condemned by the United Nations.
/11 Image
Middle East and North Africa - 12 entries re 13 countries.
No war of extermination condemned by the United Nations.
/12 Image
Please do not forget that Bach and the IOC have even combined their propagandistic falsification of the 72 crisis spots with a dirty criticism of Ukraine and the Ukrainian NOC: No other war-affected NOC complains and wants to boycott @Paris2024.
/13
I do not need to re-evaluate the trouble spots listed by the Crisis Group, which have been disgustingly distorted by the IOC in terms of propaganda. Rich Perelman has already done that and came up with these details
/14 Image
"Among these 72 entries are only 36 situations of actual violence (50%), of which all but 6 are insurgent or jihadist attacks over internal control (30 of 36 or 83%). The other 6 include a modest cross-border incident between Rwanda and Congo and 4 Middle East conflicts ..."
/15
"... noted in specific areas: (1) Turkish fighting with the Kurds in northern Iraq, (2) the continuing Israel-Palestine violence, (3) fighting over internal control of Syria with government, rebel, Iranian, Israeli and U.S. involvement, and (4) the civil war in Yemen."
/16
"No wonder there have been no National Olympic Committee complaints.

There is only one conflict in which a sovereign nation has invaded another with the intention of destroying it: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine."
/17
"This war is totally unlike any of the other conflicts listed – one out of 72 – and its unique nature is confirmed by the formalistic “annexation” by Russia of the Crimea in 2014 and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine in 2022."
/18
It's disgusting what the IOC is doing. It is pro-Russian propaganda at its core.

It is the false use of alleged studies/statistics/expertises, which is typical of Bach's sports policy.

I outlined this some time ago on the basis of his doctoral thesis.

Kleiner Thread vor dem Rückflug. Die Auflösung gibt es in diesem Text mit Fakten zur Sportförderung in Deutschland - ganz anders, als es Euch Funktionäre, Sportler, Medien und Politiker erzählen ...

... Ihr habt doch bestimmt täglich gehört, man müsse es so machen wie Großbritannien, denn dort hätten die Verbände viel mehr Geld zur Verfügung.
Stimmt nicht. Manche lügen das einfach daher, manche wissen es nicht besser ...

... während in UK seit zehn Jahren Sportförderung und Medaillenzahl bei Sommerspielen ziemlich konstant ist, kam bei den Deutschen mehr als 50% Geld hinzu, aber die Medaillenzahl nahm rapide ab ...

BREAKING ... next step in the Russia scandal on the way to @Paris2024:

The @FIE_fencing scheduled a Grand Prix in Moscow just recently, although the IOC claims/says or even lies that no competitions should take place in Russia.

What's next? Putin gets the Olympic Order back?

Aktuelle Stunde im Bundestag zum Thema "Geschäftsbeziehungen zwischen Bundesregierung und Journalisten".
Bemerkenswert, dass sich Qualitätsmedien nicht oder kaum mit der Thematik befassen, aber die Abgeordneten.
Einige Notizen dazu...
/1

Zum Hintergrund:
Helge Lindh, SPD: Geht nur auf den AfD-Redner Martin Erwin Renner ein, bringt kaum einen Fakt in der Sache. Attackiert nur die AfD. Es sei illegitim, das Problem für einen Feldzug gegen den öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk instrumentalisieren. Es sei alles gar kein Skandal.
/3
Es handele sich lediglich um eine Compliance-Frage, eine Frage von Transparenz, sagt Lindh. An den Honorarzahlungen von Bundesregierung und Bundesämtern sei "nichts falsch".
Durchaus irritierend, was der Mann vorträgt.

Spannende Antwort der Bundesregierung auf eine Anfrage zu "Zahlungen von Bundesministerien an Journalisten des öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunks und privatrechtlicher Medien". 200 Journalisten werden aufgeführt, Honorare im Schnitt oft 4.000/5.000€.
/1

dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/058/200…
Die Anfrage ist leider von der AfD. Da kann man nichts machen. Die Fakten sind so wie sie sind: irritierend, besorgniserregend - sowohl die Höhe der Honorare als auch die Zahl der Journalisten, die sich für diese Nebenjobs sehr gut bezahlen lassen.
/2
Ist alles dabei, was im sogenannten Qualitätsjournalismus einen Namen hat. Nicht nur die öffentlich-rechtlichen Anstalten ARD, ZDF, DLF, DW, Phoenix und die ARD-Regionalsender - auch Die Zeit, DER SPIEGEL, FAZ, Süddeutsche etc pp. ...

Das wird vielleicht der längste THREAD von mir in diesem Theater - und erfasst doch nur einen Bruchteil des Problems (Doping, Medien, DDR-Aufarbeitung), das einen Namen hat: Ines Geipel.
Auf geht's: Ines Geipel und ihre Jünger in der @faznet.
/1
FAZ-Sportchef Anno Hecker hat es auf die Spitze getrieben und im FAZ Feuilleton ein niederträchtiges zweiseitiges, Fakten negierendes, Geschichte verfälschendes, propagadistisches Machwerk zum „Fall Ines Geipel“ veröffentlicht, das nur eine Vernichtung der Geipel-Kritiker ist.
/2
Wahnsinn, wie Hecker in seinem falschbösen Pamphlet, das eine Qualitätszeitung nie hätte veröffentlichen dürfen, faktische Fehler wiederholt, die Geipel jüngst in ihren Beschwerdebriefen an den MDR gemacht hat. Derlei Stellen sind verräterisch, da ahnt man, woher es kommt.

Thread to complement alleged corruption in the EU Parliament #Qatar2022. It is part of the business that two of Qatar's most important sports lobby institutions appear in the EU's transparency register - but without any connection to Qatar: SIGA and ICSS.
/1
The ICSS is also a kind of spy unit of Qatar, where former Interpol (and FIFA) people like Chris Eaton have done dirty business in world Olympic sport - to strengthen Qatari officials and the influence of the emirate in world's sports institutions.
/2
After a bit of international criticism (in a few media outlets) focused on ICSS, ICSS President Mohammed Hanzab installed SIGA (Sport Integrity Global Alliance). It's all going on under dubious circumstances.
