Declan Hill discusses the pervasive and sinister nature of match-fixing and how we can prevent sport from being turned into theater. Originally Posted on Aug. 2, 2017

Today's Podcast: A Toronto father and son arrested while allegedly in the "advanced stages" of planning a violent attack in the city and have been charged with multiple terrorism-related offences, the RCMP say. Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, face a total of nine charges. Among them is one count each of conspiracy to commit murder for the benefit or at the direction of a terrorist group — namely ISIS, a Sunni Muslim militant organization. Guest : Mercedes Stephenson is a Canadian journalist and military analyst, host of Global Television Network's Sunday morning talk show The West Block. GUEST : Scott Newark With the recent killing of the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah second-in-command Faud Shukr in Lebanon, is the Middle East on the brink of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah? Hezbollah and Iran have vowed revenge against Israel which has not confirmed if it was behind the killing of Haniyeh. As well, anti-Semitic violence continues in Canada and particularly in Toronto. What can the city do to help improve the situation. GUEST : Vivian Bercovici, a Canadian-Israeli lawyer and academic. Former Canadian Ambassador to Israel. Unethical behavior in the world's major sporting events is still met with head-shaking and outright consternation and disbelief. See the Team Canada women's soccer team drone-spying scandal in Paris. But has cheating/unethical behavior become essentially commonplace in sport competition worldwide? Huge money are in play, as are massive career boosts and earnings. GUEST : Professor Declan Hill Considerable number of headlines concerning the state of Canada's economy have been published over the past weeks. How many have made the public radar? Each one has an impact on either many, most or all Canadians. GUEST : Professor Eric Kam Macro-economist. Toronto Metropolitan University. --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom Craig If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

V or Speculative Swiss-mania I & II), but also receive the privilege of submitting prompts for these Qs & Clues EPs... patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Speaking of, #1 coming in hot w/ a far-reaching investigation into sports fixing allegations historical & current, with a particular focus on the global game & its intimate relationship w/ international relations, Western imperialism, & military regimes. We begin w/ the Independent Cork Board Researchers Union Soccer Precepts, which bring us to a discussion of Maradona's "symbolic revenge" over the Brits w/ his infamous "Hand of God" handball goal in World Cup '86, which takes us 4 years further back to the possible Thatcherite-&-Argentine-military-junta false flag known as the Falklands War... To clear the field & set the stage, we unpack some basic history of Operation Condor & the American-backed intel agency collabs b/w military dictatorships in S. America in the '70s & '80s, which led to the extrajudicial death flights & disappearances of likely 100ks of Marxists, leftists, & union members in countries like Argentina (see: Dirty War)... We show how the US State Dep't & See-Aye-Eh were arms-deep in Argentine political life in the years immediately preceding Falklands. We survey a ton of the weirdness re: the Falklands War, including Julian Barnes' assertion it was the "worst reported" war of the televised era, which supports a false flag or preordained war of mutual benefit hypothesis... Marge Thatcher's press embargoes, conferences, & censorship. The strangely civil "Red Cross box"/ neutral zone in the sea off the Falkland Islands where UK & Argentina kept medical ships stationed simultaneously throughout the 70ish or so days. We talk Prince Andrew doing heli flights & the weirdness of the conflict being bookended w/ "flags", which, is a little on the nose... Talking to you, Universe. From there, we break down Bo BrozZzy's incisive Mafiaball & "sports as mass ritual" prompt and the Henry Hill, Burke, Perla Bros. & Rick Kuhn references therein, as well as super timely professional club soccer scandal examples that are reminiscent of Kuhn's point shaving scheme (see the illegal betting breach allegations that have recently broken re: Sandro Tonali, Nicolo Fagioli—who was threatened w/ having his legs broken evidently, and Lucas Paqueta)... We discuss Declan Hill's The Fix & Gabriel Kuhn's Soccer vs. the State. We walk through the history of gambling, sports & otherwise, in England, from Queen Lizzie's Loco Lotto to the National Lotto's 2nd biggest donor, the Freemasonic United Lodge of England. This turns our attention to Voltaire & Casanova's Freemasonic Lotto Syndicates in France in the 18th century. And we conclude w/ a discussion of the distinct possibility that Sec. of State & national security tulpa Henry Kissinger—one of the architects of the bloody anticommunist conspiracy to bind together the intel services of Southern Cone countries & "disappear" leftists... anyways, we end w/ an examination of a couple articles & US Embassy & State Dep't memos that indicate that Sec. of Sports Fixing Kissinger may have been directly-or-indirectly involved in fixing the 1978 World Cup held in Argentina, when Gen. Videla & his Peruvian counterpart pressured the Peruvian nat'l team to deliberately lose to Argentina & the accompanying Satanic numerology of the game's scoreline—as well as a bevy of further 6s in accompanying stats. Oh, and we fit in a few references to Zion*st involvement in Operation Condor, the

Declan Hill is a University of New Haven professor and host of the “Crime Waves” podcast. In part II of our interview, he discusses his deep dive into the origins of COVID 19. He calls it a slow-motion Chernobyl. He concludes that Covid came not from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as many have claimed, but from one of the many lesser-known Wuhan labs with terrible safety records. They create supervirulent viruses with poorly trained and paid lab technicians. They are known to sell infected research animals to local butchers. This likely explains the origins of COVID: from lab to wet market to humans.Support Hidden Truth Show by going to https://www.patreon.com/HiddenTruthShow and pledging just $5/month and receive access to Jim and special content and a Hidden Truth cap!Website: http://www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/hiddentruthshow

Declan Hill is a professor at the University of New Haven and host of the “Crime Waves” podcast. He grew up in Ottawa, very close to the site of the huge trucker vaccine protest. He has been following it closely, as well as the career of Justin Trudeau. He says the crackdown on the truckers is part of a disturbing trend in Canada of canceling political opponents by labeling them as Nazis or other undesirables. We see the same tactics here in the U.S. by Antifa and in Russia by Putin.Support Hidden Truth Show by going to https://www.patreon.com/HiddenTruthShow and pledging just $5/month and receive access to Jim and special content and a Hidden Truth cap!Website: http://www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/hiddentruthshow

It was a killing that involved a Hollywood actress, one of the greatest musicians that America has ever produced, and a mystery that took almost 12 years two court trials and three legal appeals to resolve. On February 2, 2003. Phil Spector, the man behind the Beatles album 'Let it Be', John Lennon's 'Imagine', George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord', and countless other top music hits, left his Los Angeles mansion. He came back at midnight with a gorgeous blonde actress, Lana Clarkson. They got drunk. He played the piano, they sang. But at two o'clock in the morning, there was a single gunshot that echoed over the neighborhood. And then Phil Spector stepped out of the door and said, "I think I just shot her". Or did he? Because when the man known as America's modern-day Sherlock Holmes began to investigate, it was not so clear. On CrimeWaves podcast - a master class with Dr. Henry C. Lee.  Dr Lee was the first pioneer of the linkage between DNA analysis and detective work. He is an expert in crime scene analysis and a superb investigator.  He trains police forces around the world but, in this episode, he talks about this high-profile Hollywood crime case, the tragedy surrounding it and the attack on his professional reputation.

You're standing over the body of a woman who's been murdered. She's been killed for loan sharking at a casino by organized crime mobsters. This is the price of blood. This is the thing that few people ever talk about when discussing money laundering, you know, the usual barking guff of expensive defense lawyers and their trained seals in the mediaHow financial crimes are victimless, administrative misdemeanor. Today, on crime waves, we are gonna examine how the bloody trail of cash linked to Mexican drug cartels and corrupt Chinese communist officials was laundered through Canadian casinos.

Peter German, the former Deputy Commissioner of the Mounts, that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. German produced two reports entitled “Dirty Money”, which revealed the depth of money laundering in the casino industry in Vancouver, Canada. Good morning, Peter.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with investigative journalist, academic, consultant, and expert on match-fixing and corruption in international sports, Declan Hill. We spoke with him by phone Friday. It is well-known that there is widespread cheating and corruption in world sport, including state-sponsored doping. But corruption in world sport is so deep-rooted that state-sponsored organizations and media sites are popping up that claim to be anti-corruption, but which actually promote the corrupt activities of their sponsors. "Follow the money," advised Declan Hill. "This has been going on for almost a decade now. And it's linked, listeners, to two of the greatest geopolitical scandals in sports. And when I say geopolitical, I'm not exaggerating. This is like John le Carré, those international spy thrillers, meets 'Chariots of Fire'. This is big-time, major politics, and it's about the survival of states," he said. "We're moving beyond sports corruption. We're moving beyond match-fixing. We're moving beyond doping," he noted. "The two classic actors, the ones that are head and shoulders above everyone else, are of course the Russians, and the Qatar people. And they are into sports for two diametrically different reasons, but it is both conditional on the existential strength of their current governing regimes." We discussed the reasons Russia and Qatar are among the world champions of sports corruption today, with the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups as prime examples, and how they each are spreading propaganda to obscure this. For real exposures and reporting on sports corruption, he said that the "gold standard" is Play the Game, with its biennial international conferences and web site packed with informative analysis. We discussed some of the dirty details of how sports corruption and spying on journalists are carried out; how a giveaway that something is not genuine anti-corruption analysis is if it puts the main blame on individual athletes rather than countries' sports systems for doping; how Qatar has used a system of "modern-day slavery"; how the spread of legal sports gambling is making many sports like horse racing, where people watch not for entertainment or to see who wins but mainly for betting purposes; the continued "sports-washing" of tyrannical regimes which overspend to attract major sporting events; the challenges facing honest journalists as much of the media and in particular sports media are in decline; the importance of organizations like Human Rights Watch in fighting sports corruption; and much, much more.

He is also an associate professor in the Investigations Department at the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences at the University of New Haven in New Haven, Connecticut. We spoke with him by phone Tuesday. The news broke in June that Daniel Kinahan would be playing a key role in arranging a potential heavyweight title unification fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, the two top fighters in the division and holders between them of all the major belts. But not many outside Kinahan's native Ireland knew who he was or his history. Soon stories appeared in the Irish media explaining that Kinahan, now based in Dubai, headed a notorious international gang which engaged in drug and arms smuggling. Officials from the then-Irish prime minister to members of rival Irish political parties all condemned his attempt to rebrand himself as simply a boxing promoter or advisor. Many in the U.K. media as well as a few in the boxing media then reported on this story. Even so, Kinahan continued to receive praise from Tyson Fury, Bob Arum, and other prominent boxing people. While Kinahan has since been said to be withdrawing from publicly engaging in boxing negotiations, his ties to many fighters remain, at best, unclear. "This story is like something out of Hollywood, and I have absolutely no doubt that there will be a movie made of this at some point," said Declan Hill. "This is the Kinahan Gang and it's their long-standing blood feud with the Hutch Gang." We discussed in depth the Irish government's long battle against these feuding drug gangs, the role of the media in this story, how this fits in with boxing's long history of association with organized crime, and much, much more.

Í þessum þætti var fjallað um gullaldarskeið Olympique de Marseille frá árunum 1986-1993. Liðið vann frönsku deildina fimm ár í röð ásamt því að vinna Meistaradeild Evrópu árið 1993. Uppgang liðsins má rekja til forsetans Bernard Tapie sem átti síðan eftir að verða liðinu að falli. Tapie gerðist sekur um mútur á leið sinni að titlinum 1993 og var liðið dæmt niður um deild í kjölfarið. Sparkvarpið ræddi við þá Declan Hill, rannsóknarblaðamann og sérfræðing í múturmálum innan fótbolta og Tom Scholes blaðamann hjá Getfootballnews. Auk þess að ræða um Marseille velti Sparkvarpið því fyrir sér hvernig mútur hafa þróast innan knattspyrnu.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with investigative journalist, academic, consultant, and expert on match-fixing and corruption in international sports, Declan Hill. He has just started a new teaching position as an associate professor in the Investigations Department at the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences at the University of New Haven in New Haven, Connecticut. This unique position, which he calls a "professor of investigations", has him teaching a graduate course focusing on corruption in sport and what the recent legalization of sports gambling in the U.S. means for American society. We spoke with him by phone Wednesday. "This is an epic-changing moment in American society," he said. "It's comparable with the repeal of Prohibition, because sports gambling has effectively been illegal for over a century. And it's been driven by the trauma of the Chicago White Sox fixing the World Series of baseball in 1919. That Shoeless Joe Jackson trauma 99 years ago has cast a pall over American sports leagues since that time. "And only this year, only in 2018, on May 14th, did finally the U.S. judicial system say, 'Hey, it's OK for people to gamble on sports.' "So this is a massively complex question. It's massively complicated, with good stuff on both sides of the issue, bad stuff on both sides of the issue. All kinds of societal stuff, all kinds of religious stuff, all kinds of social stuff." The debate in the U.S. over the next steps, however, have been dominated by two types of groups which only are serving their own interests, he noted. First are those with their own commercial agendas, including the gambling casinos and the relatively new group of sports gambling monitoring companies. They are trying to ensure a major stake in the legal sports gambling market in the U.S., which it is estimated will grow to hundreds of billions of dollars. The second group, he said, are those with a "geopolitical agenda". Much of agenda in the U.S. is being pushed by the Middle Eastern monarchy of Qatar -- the same country whose government was accused of massive bribery to get the hosting rights for the FIFA World Cup in 2022. This monarchy, he said, has founded an organization "purportedly" fighting for sports integrity and which is in the forefront of the discussion on sports gambling in U.S. They also, doing what they are paid to do, seek to deflect discussion away from Qatar's role in sports corruption, he said. While little useful debate is going on about the effects of sports gambling, it is expected that massive amounts of gambling will take place not only on the largest sports in the U.S., but, judging from how gamblers have operated around the world, on the minor leagues of professional sports as well as college and even high school sports. "Fixing turns sport into theater," he said, and we will see more of it on all levels of sport in America. In order to address these dangers, he made a proposal. "It is absolutely clear what American sports needs," he said. "It needs an Environmental Protection Agency. It needs a meat-packing inspector agency. A similar independent agency needs to be set up at a federal level to protect the integrity of sport. "And it needs to be funded by a one percent tax on legal gambling. So every sports bet that takes place in the United States, a very small section of it, one percent, goes to setting up that agency, funding it, staffing it with good people." We discussed the need for independent intelligent discussion on these issues, problems like sports gambling addiction and what happens when illegal bookmakers try to go legal, how sports gambling may kill off some sports, the opposition to forming an independent sports integrity agency, and much, much more.

This week, Moses and Tendo get into more World cup happenings. Senegals coach has been pegged as a sex symbol, What it means in a greater context. This week Moses speaks with Declan Hill an esteemed investigative journalist who has written about corruption in FIFA and how its involved in dealings with the criminal underworld. He also has a book to which you can purchase on his website: Declanhill.com . Finally, the guys get into the NBA Awards and the NBA Draft, who were the winners and losers.

Declan Hill je na univerzi Oxford doktoriral iz prirejanja nogometnih tekem. Kanadski raziskovalni novinar je pred desetletjem izdal odmevno knjigo The Fix: Organized Crime and Soccer. V njej je podrobno razkril delovanje azijske stavniške mafije, katere lovke segajo po vsem svetu. Tudi do Slovenije, trdi Hill. Prepričan je, da bosta na svetovnem prvenstvu v Rusiji vsaj ena ali dve tekmi prodani, predvsem zato, ker nekatere nacionalne nogometne zveze delujejo netransparentno in ne plačujejo nogometašev. Kot enega izmed ključnih problemov nogometa izpostavlja tudi spolno podkupovanje, v večini moške druščine sodnikov so v določenih situacijah lahko zelo ranljive … In to premeteni, do zadnje podrobnosti informirani in organizirani mafijci, znajo izkoristiti. Energični Declan Hill trenutno deluje na nemški univerzi v Würzburgu. Navkljub razkrivanju kočljivih stavniških poslov, se za svojo varnost ne boji. Morda tudi zato, ker je v prostem času navdušen amaterski boksar.

International sports expert, Declan Hill, returns to the podcast to discuss the FIFA trial that concluded in late December and the outlook for meaningful reform.

Declan Hill discusses the pervasive and sinister nature of match-fixing and how we can prevent sport from being turned into theater.

Declan Hill is an investigative journalist and academic. He specializes in the study of organized crime, match-fixing, and international issues. He was the first journalist to break the story of Asian match-fixing gangs linked to the multi-billion dollar gambling markets destroying international football in his book ‘The Fix: Soccer & Organized Crime’. It has now become a best-seller in 21 languages. In 2013, he published the academic version ‘The Insider’s Guide to Match-Fixing’. They're both fantastic reads, available on Amazon. Before publishing ‘The Fix’ Hill completed documentaries on the killing of the head of the Canadian mafia, blood feuds in Kosovo and ethnic cleansing in Iraq, among many other things. Declan takes us through the intriguing inside story of match-fixing and corruption in the game. We discuss everything from the inner workings of the Southeast Asian organized crime gang he infiltrated in 2006 to the key players today running an industry at times estimated at over $1 trillion to the process and methodology applied to fixing matches ranging from youth games to the World Cup & Olympics.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again spoke with investigative journalist, academic, and expert on match-fixing in international football, Declan Hill. We have just seen the arrests on corruption charges of numerous top officials of FIFA, the international governing of football, the world's most popular sport, which is known as soccer in North America and elsewhere. More arrests and indictments are expected, all of which has led to the resignation of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, just four days after having been re-elected for a fifth term. The ongoing public exposures of FIFA's wrongdoing and the subsequent arrests have raised the questions of where else in sport is corruption so rampant, and what needs to be done to fight it. To discuss all this, we spoke with Declan Hill by phone Thursday. "We definitely need an international anti-corruption agency for sport," he stated. A number of combat sports athletes in recent years have said they have been approached to fix fights and matches "for large sums of money" but have turned these attempted bribes down, he said. "But they've almost inevitably never gone forward, because they don't trust the authorities in their own sport, not to either be behind it, or who would in some ways try to punish them for blowing the whistle," he noted. "We need an agency where good, honest fighters can go and report what's happened, where an honest administrator working for a sports organization can go and blow the whistle on something. And also an agency that can set the standard, set the standards of transparency, say, 'This is what a good sports organization should do. Here are the basic protocols, just the basic business practices, here's the basic guidelines of what a true sporting organization should do.' "It's not all that difficult. There have been a lot of studies on it. There have been a lot of reports and a lot of stuff. But this is what needs to happen." We discussed more on the "surreal" story of FIFA's widespread corruption scandal and the arrests last week; the crucial role of freelance and independent journalists like Andrew Jennings and Jens Weinreich in relentlessly exposing FIFA's corruption, and the failure of the mainstream media in this regard; the "desperate" need for an international anti-corruption agency for sport; the crisis in SportAccord and the pressure from the IOC which led to the resignation of SportAccord president Marius Vizer, also shortly after being unanimously re-elected; the crisis in world sport, which is reaching a boiling point where open rebellions are taking place against sporting institutions which were once viewed as untouchable and revered; and much, much more.

Today we are talking to Declan Hill about his new book The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime (McClelland & Stewart, 2010). Most of my research focuses on corruption and the link with organized crime. I have read commissions of inquiry, court cases, journal articles and innumerable books on the topic. But none of them exposes such a widespread and pervasive system of corruption as Declan discusses in this book. I also come from a family of bookmakers, so I understand the gambling industry, but I was overwhelmed by the amounts of money involved in the corruption of gambling on sport. After reading this book I felt severely depressed that all our work is in vain. All of these are reasons why this is an important book. Declan is clear in pointing out that the beauty and majesty of great sporting achievements are still real but that one has to have an eye out for the Fix and be aware that corruption of sport at all levels is not just possible but common. I highly recommend this book for anyone studying organized crime, corruption or even the nature of sport in modern society. One of the aspects I found particularly interesting was Declan’s explanations of how corruption operates and the relative ease with which new participants are indoctrinated into the illicit practice. This is an extremely well written book partly because it is not an academic tome. Declan is telling a yarn about corruption and the individuals who participate in it, while still giving a thorough examination of the issue. Learn more about your ad choices.

Adrian Goldberg presents cutting edge investigative journalism. An open letter to the Prime Minister in the British Medical Journal accuses drug companies of charging too much for medicines used in the treatment of rare diseases. But that's just one way in which the pharmaceutical industry protects its bottom line - and puts additional financial burden on the NHS. 5 live Investigates looks at the tactics used by the industry to keep prices high. They try to keep blockbuster drugs under licence - to prevent the manufacture of cheaper alternatives. Once a drug comes off licence, its price can drop by eighty percent. One delaying technique is to slightly alter a drug just as its licence comes to an end - and put the revised formulation under a new licence. Such techniques - some industry insiders say - is costing the NHS hundreds of millions of pounds a year. We speak to Warwick Smith from the British Generic Manufacturers Association; Alan Maynard, Professor of Health Policy at the University of York; and Richard Barker, Director General of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry. Also on the programme, the shocking allegation that 300 football games a season in top European leagues are being deliberately thrown. We spend time with Sportradar, the experts monitoring betting patterns across Europe, looking for signs of match fixing in the top flight football leagues. They believe they are seeing evidence of matches being deliberately thrown - and they're tracking the dodgy players and managers responsible. Our guests are Declan Hill, who has written book on match fixing, and Rob Faulkner, spokesman for UEFA. And taking on the fraudsters: Birmingham City Council believes lie detectors can help in the fight against the fraud. Not so - say the Government, which believes they're not accurate enough. The insurance industry is now looking at alternatives to lie detectors. They've commissioned Dr Sharon Leal, forensic psychologist at the University of Portsmouth, to devise an interview techniques that would help unmask those involved in deception. What's the best way to spot a deception? To contact the programme, email goldberg@bbc.co.uk - or send comments via Twitter to @5LInvestigates.
