How the goals of Olympia are being covered by Western policies – an analysis with a look back at the roots of the Olympic idea.

Introduction

“The aim of Olympism is to place athletics at the service of the harmonious improvement of humanity in order to advance a peaceful community committed to the preservation of human dignity.

...

Any form of discrimination against a country or a individual on the ground of race, religion, politics, sex or any another reason is compatible with membership of the Olympic Movement.”

Olympic Charta

Anyone who takes a close look at the past of global athletics will agree with the message in the title of this article.

There are countless residents from the past of athletics that support this thesis, and not just in terms of large policies. It was precise the small, at first grade innovative examples that shared the character of non-political, global sports events. According to the foundation of the modern Olympic movement, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, this was its most noble purpose.

In 1891 he said:

“I wanted to renew not so much the form as the chief of the more than thought-year-old institution, due to the fact that I had learned something in it that was essential for the education of my own country and humanity. I so had to reconstruct the most crucial pills that had erstwhile sustained it: spirit and morality.”

BARON PIERRE DE COUBERTIN

He became even clearer a fewer years later, erstwhile he said in 1895:

“For this reason, all 4 years, the revived Olympic Games should give the youth of the planet the chance for a happy and fraternal meeting, in which the ignorance that characterizes the ideas of different peoples about each another will hailly disappear, this ignorance that keeps feelings of whatred alive, embraces misunderstandings and frequently makes events rush towards a barbaric and mercious string.”

BARON PIERRE DE COUBERTIN

“[Asking peoples] to respect each another is not a utopia; but to respect each other, you first gotta know each other.”

SOURCE OF QUOTATIONS: “OLYMPILES”, SPORTVERLAG BERLIN 1975, P. 196, 197

It is worth summarizing Coubertin’s statements one more time in another words:

The foundation of the modern Olympic movement sees its intent in the fact that the youth of the planet meet regularly for fair sporting competence. The primary goal should not be competitive, but getting to know each other. He was corporately convinced that this would reduce feeling of whatred and ignorance and erstwhile wars.

This look back at the childhood of today’s sports movement is essential in order to admit the frightening distortion between present and the founding story of Olympism.

The current sports policy elite, i.e. the IOC and the another global sports federations, excellently mention to Baron Pierre de Coubertin and the another founding families of the modern sports movement in their statutes and documents. Accordingly, the Yardstick of their actions must besides be measured against their noble goals.

The state of the Olympic movement as a mirror of planet policies

The first thought of global athletics was so to make the conditions for getting to know each another in order to make “spirit and morality”. 1 could besides say: athletics as a means of Diplomacy – i.e. policies – it advance good close relations.

It is then besides possible to draw conclusions about the state of Diplomacy and the state of the planet from the behaviour of the IOC, FIFA and the many another global sports federations.

Even a superficial exercise of the current situation opens up a view into bysses that the lessons of past seen to have long since overcome.

However, the strength of Diplomacy in a planet inactive fresh in the memory of defastating wars in an era of human past that now sees eons distant had these bysses “under control” and only allowed tiny swings.

Anyone who has learned in the course of their life to give the title of this article a affirmative conclusion and digs a small deeper into today's sports world, which by definition is complete apolitical, will be shocked erstwhile they see the realities. Unfortunately, current sports policy decisions prove that these dark thoughts have never completely disappeared and are one more time celebrating a sad resurrection.

This gives emergence to questions specified as these:
What is incorrect with this world?
How could this happen?
Will the Olympics in Paris in 2024 outstrip that in Berlin in 1936?

In Berlin in 1936, the parties saluted the German leader with the German salute in compliance with the IOC statutes. A motion of submission with symbolic significance.

Einmarsch der Mannschaften: Hier zieht das Olympiaateam von Mexico in das Stadion ein. Laut IOC-Satzung musten alle Teilnehmer vor Hitlers Ehrenloge grēen. Nicht nur die Zuschauer, auch die Teilnehmer waren von der Atmosphäre im Stadion beeindruckt. “Ohne Unterbrechung tobte und schrie und jubelte uns eine Menschenmasse von über 100,000 zu”, schrieb Fritz Roller, der Betreuer der österreichischen Boxer, an seine Frau. “Der Atem blieb uns aus, so gerührt waren vir alle.” Quelle: SpiegelThe teams march into the stage: Here the Mexico Olympic squad enter the stage. According to IOC statutes, all parties had to salute in front of Hitler’s box of honor. Not only the spectators, but besides the participants were impressed by the atmosphere in the stage. “Without inruption, a crowd of over 100,000 roaded and shouted for us,” doors Fritz Roller, the Austrian boxers’ coach, is his wife. “We were left fresh, we were all so moved.” Source: Spiegel

Paris — Olympia 2024

What is the Threat in Paris? A “French salute” is not in sight. However, this does not mean that gestures of subscription will not be required. They will be required. In a way that makes a mockery of the thought of peaceful, non-political sports competition even before the Olympic Games begin. any will be humiliated. Others will be missed with the support for this humilation that is sold and requested as a mater of course ... and thus besides humilized.

So that there is not even a hint of double about the attribute of authoritative France towards Russian athletes – and everything presently revolves around this Axis in terms of sports policy – the Mayor of Paris has already announced in advance that Russian athletes will not be allowed to take part in the Olympic Games in Paris, even under a neutral flag. She besides left no double that they would not be welcome at the beginning ceremony on July 26.

Statements and participation rules of this kind unfortunately to bring back memories of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

Ban on participation for political reasons

After the start of hosts in Ukraine, the alleged Collective West unleashed a barrage of sanctions against Russia within just a fewer days. This uniquely shown the full planet where the dependence of practically all global organizations and institutions on the same 7 Western states always leads in times of crisis.

The IOC besides followed the call of Western policies and their money and initially banned Russian and Belarusian attributes from taking part in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. In the course of 2023, it modified its ban to let individual attributes from Russia and Belarus to take part in the Games under certain conditions. There was clearly a major dispute in the “Olympic family” over this issue.

Just how deep the drifts have become in global athletics is only applicable at second grade. This was the header in Der Spiegel on 21.02.2023:

“How the IOC is isolating itself on the Russia issue

In Russia and Belarus, athletics and politics are closely intertwined: 35 nations are retaining plans by IOC president Thomas Bach to let Russian athletes to take part in the Olympic Games in Paris.”

SOURCE: SPIEGEL

What sounds so seemingly convincing has more than just 1 large drawback. Accepting to the IOC statutes, only the respective National Olympic Committees (NOCs) can become members of the IOC. erstwhile “35 nations are fighting back”, this acquainted means that a certain number of NOCs are subject to force from the comparative country’s political leadership to emphasize their political goals within the IOC. It is then clear that it is not only in Russia and Belarus that politicians execute an influence on sport.

However, 35 NOCs are not a majority. According to IOC data, there are 206 National Olympic Committees. This in turn means that the political IOC decision against the participation of Russia and Belarus in the Olympic Games, which was pushed through by the West, attempts not to have as much global support as the major Western media are trying to make us believe.

After all, if 1 of the reasons why Russian attributes are not allowed to take part in the Olympics in Paris is the fact that there is simply a war in Ukraine, then it would be fair to exclusive all NOCs from the Olympics who countries are at war, including Israel, for example. Especially as in the case of Israel, there is simply a judication of genecide. However, according to French president Macron, Israel athletes are openly welcome.

The question of erstwhile the USA should have been allowed to take part in peaceful Olympic Games at all since the founding of the Olympic movement is besides compeling and justifiable. After all, there has hard been a year since the first Games in Athens in 1896 in which they have not attacked another country somewhere in the world. Yemen, as well as Syria and Iraq, are the most fresh examples.

Conditions of participation in Paris

It is very illumination to consider the conditions of participation for Russian and Belarusian attributes. As already thought, the participation of individual attributes is permitted under certain conditions, but that of squad attributes is not. There is simply a method to this. Anyone who has always experienced a victim with a squad knows about its euphoric effect. specified a triumph make a utmost strong sense of togetherness and belonging. Imagine if Russia won the gold medal in men’s volleyball at the Olympics. The planet would see people like you and me standing there.

So teams were banned.

There is simply a subtle but crucial concept for Russian individual attributes: participation is automatically excluded without any alternate if the attribute is under contract to military structures, i.e. the police or military.

In doing so, the IOC is making the unsubstantiated claim that the attributes have any influence on their country’s military policy. That is of course nonsense. However, this condition effects a large number of attributes, and that was the Aim. In Russia, many of them are traditionally socially protected in this way, without even being integrated into military structures.

The same is known to be actual for Germany. If this condition were to be applied to individual German athletes, e.g. to the alleged sports soldiers, Germany would have different filling certificate sports at all.

For the neutral Athletes at the 2024 Olympics, the IOC stipulates certificate neutral clothing. At this point, I would like to think the “efforts” that are getting completely out of hand to plan this clad as if the athlete had come consecutive from the slaughterhouse. A Czechjournal excellence in this area, utilizing artificial intelligence to give free rein to its ideas of determination and dignity.

These efforts were unsuccessful, but the ban on participation in the beginning and closing ceremonies were. There is no plausible reason for this another than the deliberate humilation of the attributes agreed and their nations.

The IOC’s shredful political game summarized in 1 condition

Now we come to the main condition for Russian attributes to take part in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

In order to take part, they must distance themselves from Russian policies. To this, each athlete must sign a declaration condemning the Russian military operation in Ukraine. The exact wording of this “document” is not yet public.

As the Olympic Charter states:

“Any form of discrimination against a country or a individual on ground of race, religion, politics, sex or any another ground is compatible with membership of the Olympic Movement”.

We will discuss below the perfidious strategies that the IOC does not only but specifically links to this condition and how it intends to organize control.

An IOC training program – only for Russians

Under its German head Thomas Bach, the covered of everything Russian has reached a level unprecedented in the past of the IOC. The level falls below any standard and contradicts the Olympic Charter.

On the IOC website, for example, there is simply a “collection of training tasks” – exclusively in Russian. Behind it are 60 pages of “exercises to teach Olympic values”.

Well, why not, you might say. However, there are respective buts:
Firstly, the authoritative languages of the IOC are English and French. Accordingly, the site is created in these 2 languages. So why is this paper alone in Russian?

These “exercises” were written exclusively in Russian, i.e. there is nothing compatible on the IOC website in any another language. In French or English, there are at most briefings to the topic, e.g. here.

The Russian exercise program is besides structured in specified a way that reading it inevitably creates a feeling of humilization and subtle contact in the adsee. The entry work is written in an arrogantly instructive style.

It was proven the aim of the IOC to usage this paper to ridicule the Russian sports movement, which has always played a key function in sharing the Olympic Movement over the decades, in front of the entry sports world.

An interview with an “African political”

Quelle: Telegram

The inactive image above is from an interview that 2 Russian pranksters, “Wowan” and “Lexus”, conducted first with IOC boss Thomas Bach and then together with the EU Vice-President, the Greek Margaritis Schinas. The later is liable in the EU for issues including athletics and migration.

Vladimir Kuznetsov is known as “Vovan” and “Lexus” is the phase name of Alexei Stoliarov. Both repeatedly call publically known identities under a fictional identity in order to uncover the intentions of their actions. The targets are both Russian and global public figures. Greta Thunberg, for example, has been “interviewed” by them, as have Justin Trudeau and Christine Lagarde.

At the top left of the inactive image we see IOC boss Thomas Bach, at the top right the EU Vice-President Margaritis Schinas. At the bottom we see “Lexus” in the function of a “high-ranking African political”. The video itself was published on April 2, 2024. any readers may already be household with parts of the interview. It exposes Western policies and so besides the policies of the IOC in a way that is only communicated behind closed doors. The content itself is hard surprising. What is surprising, however, is the openness bordering on naivety in the statements made by lawyer Thomas Bach to an “African political” complete unknown to him.

The aim of this “video prank” was proven to lure the IOC chief out of his shell respecting the participation of Russian athletes in the Paris Olympics and the IOC’s standing on the friendly games called by Russia in Moscow and Yekaterinburg in the summertime of 2024. The head of the IOC was brutally clear on both topics. Based on the outcome, the only thing left to say is: Goal achievements.

Thomas Bach virtually told the “high-ranking African political” about the friendly games in Russia:

“We are categorically against these games. If you could do something with your reputation in relation to the African countries, we would be very, very grateful.”

He would not be a typical of the West if he did not 3 the “Africans” if they took part in the games in Russia:

“But in this context, they must be aware that they are taking sides by participating in these friends. That could endail risks, for example for the Olympic Games.”

As far as the Olympics in Paris are concerned, the IOC boss does not hide the fact in the interview that the sports sanctions are exclusively political in nature, on the contrast:

“We are punishing these responsive for the annexation, no Russian anthem may be played, the flag may not be raised. The Russian Olympic Committee, after we suspended it, made any beautiful aggressive statements that this was discrimination and fascism.”

IOC president Bach openedly admitted that he had checked the Russian attributes with the aid of net tracking and had been supported by Ukrainians, among others:

“We have a peculiar monitoring commission. And they monitor the internet, the media and public statements. We have besides offered and not only offered, but besides asked the Ukrainian side to supply us with their information about the behaviour of specified attributes or officials.”

With this approach, the IOC has disqualified itself in terms of fairness and independency and made it clear that its charter means nothing to the current IOC leadership.

And then IOC boss Bach even boated about the “dirty deeds” of the politicalization of sport:

“Last year, before the last BRICS Games in South Africa, we made certain that they had no opposition in the planet of sport.”

A sports association defies the dictates of the IOC

The only Russian that Thomas Bach sees to seriously feel is the head of the global Amateur Boxing Association (IBA), Umar Kremlev. The IOC withwood its designation of this association in 2023. The IOC chief exploited this decision to his “high-ranking African interlocitor” virtually like this:

“He is simply a corrupt guy. That’s why we had to exclusive this global association.”

The real reason is much more familiar. The IBA, under the leadership of Umar Kremlev, refused to comply with the sanctions against Russia and Belarus requested by the IOC. The exclusion was the consequence of this government decision.

Once again clearly and unequivocally:
The IOC excluded the boxing association IBA due to the fact that its president recommended to the rules enshrined in the Olympic Charter, not due to proven offers.

As a result, Russian attributes took part in the IBA’s European Boxing Championships, which took place in Belgrade, Serbia, in April 2024, on an equal footing and with full honors.

It is images like these that the IOC under Thomas Bach, which is under Western curatorship, and Western politicals feat.

It wasn't just her victim that moved her to tears. At the award ceremony, where the Russian anthem was of course besides played, the technology failed, so that the anthem only played for about 20 seconds. She could not hold back her tears as the audience sang the anthem a capella.

At the European Boxing Championships in Belgrade, the Russian anthem was interrupted, but the fans in the hall supported Yulia Chumgalakova in unison.

Question for our German-speaking readers: Can you imagine this happening in a German, Swiss or Austrian victim in women’s boxing?

The mention to Russian sources in this context is not available. On the German-language net and besides in the English-language version of google, there was no serious comment of the European Boxing Championships in Belgrade from April 15-29, 2024. It practically did not take place – proof of the interaction between the IOC and large policies in action and besides that German public broadcasting is not full its obligations under the state treaty.

Russian attributes won a full of 20 medals in Belgrade, 11 gold, 8 silver and 1 bronze.

The head of the IOC disqualifys himself

The scene presented by the inactive image above is proven the low point of the interview with Thomas Bach and Margaritis Schinas. The “high-ranking African political” asks out of tradition and respect for the “Saints Vovan and Lexus” to put his hand on his heart and hope for the Russian “Games of relationship to stop”.

And the advanced typical of global athletics and the advanced typical of European policies follow the “ritual” without hesitation.

Once again in slow motion:
German lawyer and IOC boss Thomas Bach and Greek Vice-EU president Margaritis Schinas, besides a lawyer, worship the (Russian) “Saints Vovan and Lexus” at the request of an African “high-ranking (!!) political” who is complete unknown to them ... What cinema.

The authoritative Russian position on the participation of Russian attributes in the Paris Olympics

Of course, the Russian athletes want to take part in the Olympic Games like all another athletes. Like their competitors, they have spent years training for it and for many it is simply a unique chance in their lives.

The disappointment about the sports policy situation is palpable, and you can find statements for and against participation in the Russian media. This consensus alone is most likely inprehensible to the IOC and large sections of the Western public. They were absolutely performing a large outcry in Russian sport. However, this did not happen, at least not in the sense of the IOC.

But that is not all. The Russian government did not even intervene to prevent Russian attributes from taking part in the Olympics. On the contrary. This for whom participation is nevertheless an option, even under the conditions thoughted – the above list is not exhausted – they are free to travel to Paris.

The assistant to the Russian President, Igor Levitin, commented on this question a fewer days ago to the Russian news agency TASS. With his statement, he besides turned any sports policy facts upside down, saying:

“The Olympic Games are not the Olympic Games of the countries, but of the athletes. The position here is that it’s all athlete’s right, and if an athlete decisions to go to the Olympics, they go there as a neutral athlete.”

IGOR LEWITIN

At the same time, Igor Levitin made it unmistakable clear:

“But the most crucial thing is that he shouldn’t sign any papers that uncover against the work of the guys out there on the front line.”

IGOR LEWITIN

That was a very clear mention to the Russian legal situation. No 1 has yet seen the declaration that Russian Athletes gotta sign erstwhile participating. However, the statements made by the IOC so far propose that signing this paper could lead to a confrontation with Russian legal norms.

Conclusion

Sports and politics are inseparable. For more than 120 years of its existence, the modern Olympic movement has managed very hard times. And after the devastating wars of the last centre, it was a very effective means of bringing people together again and building trust, in the spirit of Baron de Coubertin.

Today’s developments in sports policy can not be viewed in isolation from major policies. The erstwhile British diplomat Alastair Crooke said with respect to the fresh attacks by Israel on the Iranian advisory in Damascus:

“Israel’s goal is [...] to destruct the standards, conventions and laws of warfare; to make a geopolitical anarchy in which anything is possible”.

ALASTAIR CROOKE

These are the same goals, the same methods that the USA created, covered up and made possible through its actions in the case of Israel, with which the Western countries, led by the USA, built up a global strategy of influence over the decades, with which they are addressed to systematically place all areas of global life under their control. They have mostly achieved this through political, economical and financial lions. athletics is simply a not insignificant link in this chain.

Nevertheless, we are surviving in a time in which the old certificates of the West are rapidly disintegrating and fresh things are looking and uncovering their place. As has so frequently been the case, athletics will play a positive, peaceful and unifying role.

Bernd Stange, coach of the GDR national football squad until 1988 and later besides worked in Syria, among another places, erstwhile said in an interview:

“Football is peace, has a message and can achievements more than years of Diplomacy.”
