[meangirls-imagines]

hey could you do a Regina George x femme reader where the reader is a member of the plastics and gets revenge for Regina on Cady after finding out about the Kalteen bars?

Sabotage

Description: Reader finds out Cady is sabotaging her girlfriend, which is also the reason of her girlfriend's insecurities as of late.

WARNINGS: fluffy, cady being a bitch, reader being protective, regina being insecure

"Do you think I look fat?"

Y/N looked up from her phone at her girlfriend's question. Regina stood in front of her floor-length mirror in a sports bra and biker shorts. She was frowning at her body in the mirror. Y/N answered.

"No? You look gorgeous as usual, baby. Why the long face?" Regina turned towards her girlfriend. "Those bars Cady gave me aren't working I think. It seems like I'm getting bigger." Y/N put her phone down and opened her arms.

Regina walked into her girlfriend's arms as the girl held her tightly. "You look like a goddess, Gina. You don't need weight loss bars. Trust me." Regina pouted. "I just need to lose a few pounds. That's all." Y/N kissed the girl's bare stomach.

"Well, I don't think so. How about you go take a shower and we can get takeout and watch trashy reality tv?" Regina nodded and pecked her girlfriend's lips before heading into her bathroom. Y/N got suspicious and decided to grab the wrapper of the bar from the small trash can in the blonde's room.

Reading the label she saw the word "Kalteen" before she stashed it in her bag to do research on later. The blonde finished in the shower as Y/N placed an order for her favorite chinese place before pulling up a random housewives show as the blonde cuddled into her side.

She was going to get to the bottom of this.

To say Y/N was livid was an understatement. When she went home that night, she googled the brand of bars Cady had been giving her girlfriend, only to find out their true purpose.

To make the consumer gain weight.

GAIN WEIGHT.

That's why Regina had been feeling insecure. Because she was slowly gaining weight. Y/N was pissed. And it helped that she knew the culprit of the crime.

Cady Fucking Heron.

The girl Regina had taken under her wing to help. And this was how the girl re-payed her girlfriend? Y/N was going to get revenge.

In the best way she knew how.

The next day at school, she had approached Karen and Gretchen, telling them the situation. The girls were rightfully pissed. Y/N knew that telling Gretchen was the right choice because by 2nd period, a nasty rumor about Cady had been spread.

The rumor was that Cady had been infected with BV after having sex with the whole football team. Everyone had heard the rumor and by lunch time, it was all anyone could talk about.

Cady had become the school's laughing stock and as she tried to sit with the plastics, Y/N stopped her. "Sorry, Cady. But you can't sit with us. We can't associate with you anymore. Not after your diagnosis.." Cady turned a deep scarlet. "I don't have that! I don't know who started that rumor but they're wrong."

Y/N smirked. Regina sat in silence, wanting to see where this went. "Sucks having someone make everyone think something is wrong with your body doesn't it?" Cady looked at Y/N, confused before realization came over her face.

"It was you." Y/N smirked. "Why, Cady, I have no idea where you came up with that lie!" Cady glared at Y/N. "Why did you do it?" Y/N sighed and smiled. "Well, considering the fact that you messed with my girlfriend's body, I thought I would return the favor."

At that information, Regina looked at Cady. "What do you mean, messed with my body?" Y/N looked at her girlfriend. "Those Kalteen bars? They were making you gain weight, not lose it." Regina became angry at those words and looked at Cady.

"Is that true?" It felt like Cady was suffocating. She had been caught and no one was there to back her up. "Uh..I-" Regina put a hand up. "Save it. You're lucky Y/N only did the rumor. I would've ruined your life. But, since you're no longer going to associate with us, you're no longer a threat. Now, leave us alone, or I will ruin your life."

Cady scurried off as the blonde looked satisfied. Y/N sat down next to her girlfriend, Regina pulling her into a kiss. Gretchen and Karen squealed at the cuteness as the two pulled away. "Thank you for protecting me, baby."

Y/N smirked. "You're my princess, of course I'll protect you."

They didn't see Cady for the rest of the week, learning later on that she went back to being homeschooled. Y/N smirked when she heard the news.

Don't fuck with her girlfriend.

Hi! College Professor anon here with yet another silly idea: Werewolves are known College AU where Stiles is a Biology student focusing on Lycanthropy and Derek is a jock on a Football scholarship. Stiles decides to write his MA thesis on two subjects 1. How much can a werewolf possibly eat and 2. Is it truly impossible for werewolves to gain weight to obesity. Derek is a reluctant test subject that goes from annoyed to definitely horny and slob. Cue lots of overfeeding and gassy moment lmao

LOVE it. Derek is bribed into it by "sex and free food" which.... is hard to turn down when you're a freshman year jock. And maybe because he's a little too confident that as a werewolf? He can't gain weight. He's never seen a chubby werewolf, never mind an obese one. At first he complains about all the shakes Stiles has him drinking to "Supplement his diet"....but it isn't long before Stiles finds the right strains of wolfsbane to increase Derek's appetite and slow his metabolism. Starts getting Derek to associate being "stuffed beyond belief" by showing him gainer porn...or promising to jerk him off if he just finishes this one last burger. Derek is easily manipulated by flattery and Stiles willingness to do anything he asks...if it involves food. (Which comes in handy by their senior year when Derek gets too fat to reach under his sweaty folds to get himself off, and Stiles has him chugging gallons of wolfsbane infused shakes before he'll finally let Derek come) It takes a little bit of persuasion, but after enough nights of "forget practice, it's endless wing nights!" or "You worked so hard at the gym last week...take this week off" - Derek eventually puts on enough weight and gets out of shape enough that even with the werewolf strength - he's a little winded and tired after practice. He quits the team to "focus on schoolwork" after his first semester of 2nd year and moves in with Stiles...which cements his descent into obesity. Stiles does his homework for him. Derek barely leaves the dorm, spends most of his time jerking off, sleeping, fucking, and eating (and Stiles has him on a very aggressive overfed schedule). The dorm becomes a total pigsty (Stiles takes copious amounts of pictures for his study. Derek gets lazier -and pushed by Stiles not to burn any calories - so he barely waddles down the floor to the showers. Never does laundry and wears the same pair of university sweats until holes start to appear and seams start to rip...and then Stiles gets him a new pair. His constant high fat diet almost guarantees, werewolf or not - Derek's got some gassy side effects. "Is this UAAARrrrp supposed to Bllbbbffffrt happen?" "You ate enough Chinese takeout to open a buffet, yeah, you're gonna be gassy, Derek." ***

Derek does still go to the University football games. Mostly so Stiles can watch him try and squeeze into his old football uniform to "support the team" and so he can feed Derek an endless supply of nachos and pretzels with a bucket of cheese and a 12 pack of beer. (listening to Derek's teammates shock at his size is just a happy coincidence) "Dude, what the fuck happened?" "Helping braaaaap Stiles with a paper or pffpfFRTpblt project or some- burp- thing." "Are you sure this is for research? You're getting kinda big, man....." Derek shrugs, as oblivious to Stiles' thesis as he is to the huge cheese stain on his shirt. *** Stiles' final thesis is waddling Derek in front of the advisors for a demonstration. On a poster he has the chart of Derek's weight and calorie intake by each month , which shows at first a slowly increasing line for it starts shooting straight up. Derek is completely unaware - or could care less- about the board of professors sitting in front of him and instead sits at a table on the side that's almost overflowing with takeout and starts eating. Stiles starts walking around him - grabbing handfuls of his belly or arm fat or double chin to point things out. "His healing factor takes over quickly - you can see stretchmarks will start to appear and then rapidly heal." Derek merely stops to rub his belly for a few seconds, wipe his mouth on the back of his hand, then goes back to eating." "As you can see, the lycan's healing ability means they can virtually eat continuously, as long as their appetite is properly stimulated.......this meal alone is over 20,000 calories. Want more, Derek?" "Yes *nglp* Stiles. FprrpffrRrbtlbllltTT" "of course, since his body is constantly processing such a fatty, high-calorie diet, there are some...gaseous side effects." Derek remains unbothered, football jersey fitting like a sports bra and shorts completely hidden by his lovehandles and belly.

Dragon Shang Que! And of course, I forgot, Chinese dragons are water creatures, so when he's not doing anything, (because he's refusing to participate in a stupid civil war?) he sleeps all curled up underwater in Oblivion River.

Look at his sleepy nose!

His eyelashes are probably even better than these

He can burst out of the water! Into a hover! Look at the antlers!

And then he turns into this dude who looks like he’d be a solid number 10 in either Rugby or Association football, maybe for an Argentine club side, and they'd call him El Chino

And then this entire glorious notion is only used once more, in the transition between episodes 9 and 10, (told you the eyelashes would be awesome)

and then, nothing.

Fanfic prompt: Are Chinese dragons oviparous, viviparous, or oviviviparous? Given that different species of snake do all three and some are even parthenogentic, I reckon you can do whatever is funniest, unless the mythology is specific about this, but I am convinced that neither Shangque nor Jieli has any more than the vaguest idea of how either fairy or dragon reproduction is supposed to work, and they probably panic after she's pregnant. Possibly after someone who has a good brain, but no filter, asks the same question I just asked: "do dragons lay eggs?"

There's definitely a library in Moon Palace, though. And presumably, somewhere, there is the rest of the dragon clan.

And it leaves Danyin with a dragon nibling. She'd be thrilled to bits.

P6 Idea : The Sports Girl

Many of the companions in the Persona series are excellent athletes, and P6 is no exception. Because the stage is not in Japan at all but the subconscious of the earth, the character is not limited to the Japanese nation. This sports girl is a tennis player with both African and Latino elements. During battles, she uses a tennis racket as a melee weapon and a baseball shooter as a ranged weapon.

Her Arcana is Charity derived from the Visconti-Sforza Tarot. Her persona combines the 3 elements of "athlete", "land vehicle" and "herbivore".

Initial Persona - Wuzhiqi, the The vicious water god associated with Sun Wukong in Chinese mythology - Wrestler + heavy machinery + gorilla (King Kong)

Initial Persona - Gugalanna, the celestial bull in Mesopotamian mythology - American football player + off-road vehicle + aurochs

Initial Persona - Airavata, the Indra's mount in Hindu mythology - Hockey player + snow plow + mammoth

Ultimate Persona - Behemoth, the titanic land beast alongside Leviathan in Jewish mythology - It takes the legendary underground Agartha as its theme, and uses the biggest land mammal paraceratherium as its core skeleton

⚠️ L'IPOCRISIA E L'ARROGANZA DEGLI IMPERIALISTI STATUNITENSI NON HANNO FINE ⚠️

🇺🇸 Gli imperialisti statunitensi, dopo aver lanciato numerose provocazioni anti-Cinesi, e aver foraggiato il separatismo pro-US del DPP di Tsai Ing-wen, si stupiscono che il Comando dell'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione non voglia dialogare con Lloyd Austin, Segretario alla Difesa degli Stati Uniti 🤡

🤬 Oggi, gli imperialisti statunitensi schiumano di rabbia e si lamentano a gran voce, ma Lloyd Austin in primis dovrebbe riflettere sul comportamento degli USA in relazione alla Questione di Taiwan ⭐️

🇺🇸 Il 22/10/2022, a margine dell'Associazione dei Ministri della Difesa delle Nazioni del Sud-Est Asiatico in Cambogia, Lloyd Austin incontrò il Generale Wei Fenghe, all'epoca Ministro della Difesa della Repubblica Popolare Cinese 🇨🇳

🇨🇳 Il Generale ricordò a Austin che "La Questione di Taiwan è il fulcro degli interessi-chiave della Cina, nonché la prima Linea Rossa nelle Relazioni Sino-Statunitensi, che non può essere oltrepassata. Esercito Popolare di Liberazione è in grado di garantire l'Unificazione del Paese. La Cina risponderà a qualsiasi ulteriore passo degli USA su Taiwan con forti contromisure" ⭐️

🇺🇸 Gli USA, nonostante la presa di posizione della Cina, decisero comunque di continuare a portare avanti l'avventurismo anti-Cinese, sfociato nell'illegale incontro tra Tsai Ing-wen e Kevin McCarthy, e ora hanno anche il coraggio di lamentarsi e piangere perché non ricevono risposte dal Comando Cinese? 🤡

🇺🇸 L'arroganza statunitense non conosce limiti 😡

⚠️ THE HYPOCRISY AND ARROGANCE OF US IMPERIALISTS HAVE NO END ⚠️

🇺🇸 The US imperialists, after launching numerous anti-Chinese provocations, and having bankrolled the pro-US separatism of Tsai Ing-wen's DPP, are amazed that the People's Liberation Army Command does not want to talk to Lloyd Austin, Secretary to US Defense 🤡

🤬 Today, US imperialists are foaming with rage and loudly complaining, but Lloyd Austin above all should reflect on US behavior in relation to the Taiwan question ⭐️

🇺🇸 On 10/22/2022, on the sidelines of the Association of Defense Ministers of Southeast Asian Nations in Cambodia, Lloyd Austin met with General Wei Fenghe, then Minister of Defense of the People's Republic of China 🇨🇳

🇨🇳 The General reminded Austin that "The Taiwan issue is the focus of China's key interests, as well as the first Red Line in Sino-US relations, which cannot be crossed. The People's Liberation Army is able to guarantee the "Unification of the country. China will respond to any further US steps on Taiwan with strong countermeasures" ⭐️

🇺🇸 The USA, despite China's stance, nevertheless decided to continue to carry on anti-Chinese adventurism, which resulted in the illegal meeting between Tsai Ing-wen and Kevin McCarthy, and now they also have the courage to complain and cry because they don't get answers from the Chinese Command? 🤡

O futebol e suas conexões maçônicas

Nem mesmo os mais fanáticos torcedores, incluindo jogadores e dirigentes, sabem que o futebol foi criado por maçons que usaram seus conhecimentos avançados e ocultos em alquimia para transformá-lo no esporte mais popular, rentável e adorado. As chaves essenciais desse jogo estão relacionadas a impulsos primitivos, símbolos, rituais e sacrifícios sagrados e são eles que iremos revelar e analisar a partir de agora.

Por Cláudio Suenaga

Como a febre do futebol monopoliza as atenções neste momento, aproveitemos para falar das muitas conexões do esporte bretão com a Maçonaria.

Certamente nem mesmo os mais apaixonados, fanáticos e devotos torcedores, sem mencionar os profissionais diretamente envolvidos como dirigentes, jornalistas, comentaristas, narradores e até técnicos e jogadores, sabem que as primeiras regras do moderno futebol foram elaboradas em 26 de outubro de 1863 numa reunião de maçons na Freemason’s Tavern, Great Queen Street nº 11, ao lado da Freemasons Hall, em Londres, ao mesmo tempo em que se formava a Associação de Futebol Inglês.

A Football Association foi formada por proposta de Ebenezer Cobb Morley na Freemasons Tavern que ficava neste local. O futebol moderno nasceu neste dia 26 de outubro de 1863. Foto: London Remembers.

Nessa reunião participavam os representantes da “Liga de Rugby”, que eram a favor de permitir o uso das mãos, e da “Liga de Harrow”, inclinados a permitir apenas o uso dos pés e da cabeça. Os que eram favoráveis a permitir o uso das mãos retiraram-se da reunião, e foi assim que se estabeleceu a distinção entre rugby e futebol (soccer). O moderno rugby, cuja origem remonta aos gregos e romanos que disputavam jogos com esferas, episkyros e harpastum, surgiu em 1823 com William Webb Ellis (1806-1872), estudante da Rugby School – daí o nome –, que teria pego a bola com as mãos e seguido com ela até a linha de fundo adversária. Foi do rugby que surgiu o “futebol americano”.

As raízes maçônicas do futebol são vergonhosamente silenciadas. A mídia esportiva evita tocar no assunto. A omissão e cumplicidade dos jornalistas e historiadores é gritante. Antes que classifiquem tais atribuições como “lenda urbana” ou “teoria da conspiração”, recomendo que consultem o livro Laws of the Game (Regras do Jogo), de Adrian Roebuck, que traz as provas da formação da Football Association (Associação de Futebol) em 1863 e das primeiras regras do Futebol elaboradas após a reunião. Algumas páginas do livro estão expostas no National Football Museum (Museu Nacional do Futebol), em Manchester.

A caligrafia à esquerda é de Cobb Morley e diz: “Reunião de 24 de novembro de 1863 - Taberna dos Maçons” (“Meeting 24th November 1863 - Freemasons Tavern”).

As origens do futebol moderno podem ser perscrutadas até a Antiguidade. A versão mais antiga do jogo que se assemelha ao estabelecido pela Maçonaria era praticada pelos chineses da dinastia Han no século III a.C., que o chamavam de ts’uh Kúh (cuju) e que consistia em lançar uma bola com os pés para uma pequena rede.

Cinco ou seis séculos depois, surgiu no Japão uma variante chamada kemari, que tinha um caráter mais cerimonial, sendo o objetivo do jogo manter uma bola no ar passando-a entre os jogadores. Curiosamente, o kemari é praticado até hoje no Japão em eventos culturais.

As conotações ocultas ritualísticas e sacrificiais do futebol transparecem e ficam mais evidentes no jogo de bola mesoamericano, praticado ao longo de mais de 3.000 anos pelos olmecas, astecas e maias em tempos pré-colombianos. Os astecas chamavam os olmecas de “povo borracha” (do nauatle ulli, “borracha”), pois atribuíam a origem do jogo de bola a esse povo. Uma dúzia de bolas de borracha, com diâmetros entre 10 e 20 cm, foram encontradas em El Manatí, no Estado de Veracruz, um local sacrificial olmeca. Datadas de 1600 a.C., essas bolas de borracha estavam juntas com outras oferendas rituais, indicando que o jogo já tinha conotações religiosas e rituais, como tem até hoje, embora disfarçadas e transfiguradas, aliás como é típico da Maçonaria.

Os sacrifícios humanos tornaram-se um desfecho habitual para as partidas de jogo de bola. Os jogos cerimoniais incluíam o sacrifício do capitão e de outros jogadores da equipe derrotada. O crânio de um perdedor podia ser utilizado como o núcleo à volta do qual se fazia uma nova bola.

Jogar o jogo de bola era participar na manutenção da ordem cósmica do universo e regeneração ritual da vida, expresso na luta entre os deuses do dia e da noite ou entre os deuses do céu e senhores do inframundo. A bola simbolizava o sol, a lua e as estrelas, e os aros o nascer do sol, o pôr-do-sol e os equinócios.

Os maias foram os que mais se dedicaram à construção de campos de jogo de bola, que eram considerados portais para o inframundo. Os nobres maias do Período Clássico Tardio (550-830) eram ao mesmo tempo guerreiros e jogadores de bola. Os prisioneiros de guerra jogavam bola com os vitoriosos, com um desfecho pré-determinado. Após o jogo, chamado de pok ta pok, os cativos eram decapitados e os seus corações eram arrancados num sacrifício de sangue. As paredes do principal campo de jogo de bola de Chichén Itzá, o maior da Mesoamérica, retrata o líder da equipe vencedora segurando a cabeça decapitada do líder perdedor, que se encontra de joelhos com sangue em forma de serpentes a jorrar do seu pescoço. Uma gravura em seis paineis de Chichén Itzá, mostra uma cena do Popol Vuh (registro documental da cultura maia produzido no século XVI) indicando o significado cosmológico do jogo de bola na cultura maia.

Já os astecas viam no jogo de bola, que chamavam de tlachtli, uma batalha entre as forças da noite lideradas pela lua e as estrelas representadas pela deusa Coyolxauhqui e os seus filhos Centzonuitznaua, e o sol personificado por Huitzilopochtli.

O tlachtli consistia em tentar arremessar uma bola de látex através de um aro feito de pedra.

No Mediterrâneo, havia o harpasto (do latim harpastum, que significa "lágrima" ou "rasgado a força") em Roma, e o epísquiro (que significa "bola comum") na Grécia, que já possuíam muitas das característias do futebol moderno. O primeiro era disputado por duas equipes em um terreno retangular demarcado e dividido pela metade por uma linha. Os jogadores de cada equipe podiam passar uma pequena bola entre eles, e o objetivo do jogo era enviá-la ao campo. Essa variante muito popular entre os anos 700 e 800 foi introduzida nas Ilhas Britânicas. O epísquiro era jogado por duas equipes entre 12 e 14 jogadores cada aos quais se permitia o uso das mãos.

O quanto essas antigas práticas estão vinculadas com o costume dos invasores ingleses de chutarem a cabeça dos inimigos e com a violência do futebol moderno é discutível. Indubitável é o fato de que as regras do futebol foram determinadas pelo Grão-Mestre da Loja nº 11, daí porque uma partida é disputada entre duas equipes com 11 jogadores cada e quatro árbitros escalados para garantir que as normas maçônicas sejam cumpridas. Ademais, o 11 é um número icônico na alquimia, um dos mais usados pelos illuminati – os outros são o 9, o 13 e o 33 –, principalmente em eventos mundiais importantes, como por exemplo a Segunda Guerra Mundial, que terminou exatamente às 11h11, o pouso lunar da Apollo 11, o ataque às Torres Gêmeas de 11 de Setembro e outros eventos de monta.

As primeiras equipes foram duas universidades inglesas – Oxford e Cambridge, que, como sabemos, são membros honorários da Ordem dos Maçons.

Todos os emblemas e escudos dos clubes de futebol inglês possuem símbolos maçônicos e até escancaradamente satânicos, como o Manchester United.

Em cada detalhe deste “esporte rei”, encontraremos as chaves básicas da simbologia ocultista maçônica.

Convencionou-se que o jogo seria disputado em um retângulo verde, de grama natural ou sintética, com um arco em cada lado do campo. O verde é a cor que simboliza a eternidade. O retângulo é dividido em dois quadrados, sendo o quadrado duplo um símbolo de iniciação por excelência. Neste símbolo está inscrito a seção dourada ou divina.

No centro do campo há um círculo com um ponto no centro dele. É o símbolo do ouro na alquimia ou o símbolo do sol, tão recorrente desde tempos antigos.

Os cantos do campo de jogo que se delimitam em quatro simbolizam os quatro arcanos menores do tarô: Terra (Ouros), Ar (Espadas), Fogo (Paus) e Água (Copas).

A soma dos jogadores de ambas as equipes é de 22, assim como 22 são os hierofantes (sacerdotes Illuminati). 22 também é um número iniciatório ritual icônico. O sânscrito possui 22 letras principais, assim como 22 são os grandes arcanos do tarô e os polígonos regulares da matemática.

Em uma partida, se uma das equipes estiver com menos de 7 jogadores, o jogo não pode prosseguir, assim como uma sessão maçônica não pode ser aberta se não estiverem presente 7 membros.

O objetivo estipulado é, do centro do campo (o deus exterior), fazer penetrar a bola (o deus interior, despertado pela iluminação) no arco oponente (o ego, o templo) com qualquer parte do corpo que não seja as mãos ou os braços, principalmente com os pés. A equipe que marcar mais gols em 90 minutos sagra-se vencedora.

A bola, composta de pentagramas e hexagramas (símbolos ocultistas e satânicos), simboliza o nosso planeta, que é pisoteado por hierofantes. Uma das equipes representa as forças da “luz” (o Sol), enquanto a outra as forças das trevas (a Lua), daí a tradição das equipes usarem cores claras e escuras para se distinguirem. As bolas das Copas de 1970 a 1994 eram pentágonos-hexágonos preto e branco, como o piso dos templos maçônicos, que simboliza a dualidade interna.

O jogo evoluiu mantendo o espírito maçônico de "igualdade e fraternidade" – sem distinção de nacionalidade, raça, ideologia, religião ou sexo – da sua fundação. Independentemente do resultado, os jogadores trocavam camisas no final da partida, uma expressão que enfatiza o valor da tolerância, outro princípio maçônico.

Todo esse bacanal maçônico, como não poderia deixar de ser, é acompanhado de orgias e sacrifícios humanos que visam aplacar os deuses do sol e da lua. Não é à toa que brigas entre torcedores e jogadores, agressões, assassinatos, devassidão, embriaguez, etc., desde sempre fizeram parte do futebol.

A Maçonaria tratou de espalhar o futebol para todos os cantos do mundo fundando clubes, associações e incentivando o desporto.

Um exemplo disso é a nossa grande rival Argentina, onde o futebol chegou por meio de viajantes ingleses, muitos dos quais eram maçons. Entre 1901 e 1910 foram criados 32 clubes, todos ligados a estações ferroviárias e lojas maçônicas.

Muitos dos imigrantes italianos que se estabeleceram no bairro de La Boca, nas margens do Riachuelo, em Buenos Aires, eram maçons.

O River Plate também foi fundado por maçons (em 25 de maio de 1901), e as cores que ostenta em sua camisa correspondem ao avental e a faixa vermelha do Mestre Maçom da época. O seu primeiro campo foi em Sarandi, coincidindo com a linha ferroviária sul de Buenos Aires. A presença de funcionários e empregados britânicos no desenvolvimento ferroviário argentino favoreceu a criação de lojas maçônicas nas imediações das estações. A exemplo da Argentina, muitos outros países tiveram os seus clubes de futebol fundados pela Maçonaria.

Três poderosos dirigentes envolvidos em inúmeros escândalos de corrupção eram maçons: Nicolás Leoz (1928-2019), dirigente esportivo paraguaio que foi presidente da Confederação Sul-americana de Futebol (CONMEBOL) entre 1986 e 2013, Júlio Grondona (1931-2014), presidente da Associação Argentina de Futebol (Asociación del Fútbol Argentino) de 1979 a 2014 e vice-presidente Executivo e Presidente Financeiro da Federação Internacional de Futebol (FIFA), e Ricardo Teixeira (1947-), presidente da Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) de 1989 a 2012. Os três dirigentes são maçons e frequentavam a mesma loja maçônica em Foz do Iguaçu (PR), onde uma vez por mês traçavam os destinos do futebol sul-americano.

No início dos anos 90, eles decidiram dividir todas as glórias do futebol continental apenas entre Argentina e Brasil. Não por acaso, quase todos os títulos da Libertadores da América desde então foram apenas para os dois países. Eles contavam com o apoio de diversas sociedades secretas europeias que atuavam juntas com a UEFA (Union of European Football Associations), a FIFA, a Nike e a Adidas, patrocinadores da AFA (Asociación del Fútbol Argentino) e da CBF. O objetivo principal era a revelação e superexposição de craques para serem vendidos à Europa em um mercado de bilhões de dólares em negociações, patrocínios, venda de camisas, etc.

Nos últimos anos, a FIFA esteve envolvida em diversos escândalos de corrupção, entre eles o de arranjar os resultados de jogos. É evidente que a FIFA, intimamente ligada à máfia empresarial que comanda o futebol, tem nítida e assumida preferência por determinados clubes e jogadores em detrimento de outros, já que rendem centenas de milhões de dólares por evento. Pululam denúncias por parte de técnicos de que patrocinadores, empresários e dirigentes lhes impunham a convocação de determinados jogadores sob suas tutelas.

A FIFA, assim como toda a estrutura de poder no topo da pirâmide, está associada com a Maçonaria e os Illuminati e por isso usa e abusa de simbologia astrológica, numerológica, cabalística, ocultista e satânica em geral para deixar sua marca nos indivíduos e controlar as massas. Pesquisadores e jornalistas independentes, taxados pejorativamente de “teóricos da conspiração”, puseram tudo isso à mostra de forma cabal nos últimos anos.

Blaine Holt to Newsmax: Stolen Valor a Big Deal for Vets

Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt told Newsmax on Thursday that Democrats underestimated how big a deal stolen valor is to the military veteran community and how much offense veterans take when allegations of stolen valor surface such as those against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running for president, announced Walz as her running mate for the Democrat ticket on Tuesday.

"What I think ... is they underestimated how truly big this issue is, especially to we in the veteran community who served in two straight decades of warfare for no apparent reason – just a lot of blood and treasure gone," Holt said during an appearance on "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE." "And our country looking for answers as to why we're doing these things."

Holt said it was interesting to see the Minnesota National Guard make a statement on Walz's military service record, given that the governor sits at the top of the chain of command.

"Look, it's really telling that the Minnesota Guard public affairs officer put something out to clarify that he was guilty of stolen valor, because in the hierarchy, you've got the governor of Minnesota, of which he is being the commander in chief of the Guard, and yet, the Guard took that step," he said.

"Have you ever seen a bust-out of the chain of command like that? I think that — and I'm hopeful that — we will see accountability down the road."

The retired Air Force officer also commented on a 2007 interview Walz gave, in which he claimed he was deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Holt seemed to agree with host Higbie's assessment that Walz was not in a deployable status at the time of the interview.

"It's all there and it's just in complete black and white. That gets to the character issue.

"So when we shift this to the seriousness of the matter, you want this guy to be No. 2 in line to the nuclear football, and yet, he's taught high school in China, has a honeymoon that was connected to the anniversary of Tiananmen Square, has a Chinese police station in his state, puts tampons in bathrooms for boys, and then was there and presided over the burning down of Minneapolis," Holt continued.

"Character, character, character. Stolen valor — is that a big shock? No, it shouldn't be. That's actually consistent with the life of a lack of integrity."

David Beckham Joins Alibaba as Global Brand Ambassador

Image: Instagram/ David Beckham David Beckham has secured a new role as the global ambassador for AliExpress, the online retail platform owned by Chinese technology giant Alibaba. This announcement comes just as the highly anticipated UEFA European Championship, commonly known as the Euros, is set to commence in Germany next month. While the financial details of the deal remain undisclosed, it is a significant partnership as Beckham, the former England football captain, continues to enhance his brand off the pitch. This deal with AliExpress follows an exclusive e-commerce platform partnership that the company signed with UEFA, European football’s governing body, in March. As part of his new ambassadorial duties, Beckham will be the face of AliExpress’ Score More promotion, which will be active during the football matches. “AliExpress is helping fans get even closer to UEFA EURO 2024 this summer, by offering them great prizes as the action takes place on the pitch,” Beckham commented, expressing his enthusiasm for the promotion and the upcoming tournament. AliExpress is not alone in leveraging the massive global audience of the Euros. Other major Chinese firms, including electric vehicle manufacturer BYD and electronics giant Vivo, are also sponsors of the event. These sponsorships highlight the growing influence and investment of Chinese companies in global sporting events. David Beckham, who retired from professional football over a decade ago, has since been associated with numerous brands and major sporting events. His business ventures and endorsements have significantly contributed to his wealth. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, Beckham and his wife Victoria, a former Spice Girl turned fashion designer, have a combined fortune of £455 million ($581.6 million). The UEFA European Championship is set to be one of the largest sporting events of the year, second only to the Paris Olympics and Paralympics. The tournament, which runs from June 14 to July 14, will be held across ten cities in Germany, including Munich and Hamburg, with a total of 2.7 million tickets available for fans. UEFA reported that the 2020 Euros garnered a global live television audience of 5.2 billion, with the final alone attracting 328 million viewers. This massive viewership underscores the global appeal of the tournament and the significant exposure it offers to sponsors and partners like AliExpress. Beckham's involvement with AliExpress during the Euros is a strategic move that not only promotes the brand but also aligns him with one of the most watched sporting events in the world. As fans prepare for the excitement of UEFA EURO 2024, Beckham’s role in promoting the Score More campaign is set to enhance the fan experience by bringing them closer to the action on the pitch.
