The world has gone totally mad, hasn’t it? Ever since the “US citizen-without-a-passport”, Edward Snowden, went public and gradually released his material about global spying, institutionalized by US and UK spooks at the NSA and GCHQ, a storm of aggression has hit him and the US alike.
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe (and somewhat ridiculous to compare with issues of real concern), a handful of people continue digging and investigating for a very handsome fee – what exactly? In a repetitive attempt, like hamsters in ring, these good men still try to find out whether Russia or Qatar or both did everything by the book, or whether – God forbid – some foul play was involved in 2010 when the bidding to stage the 2018 and 2022 World Cups had come to an end.
