In May 2015 Swiss plainclothes policemen entered the luxury Baur au Lac hotel where FIFA, world football’s governing body, were holding their annual general meeting.
After enquiring with reception about room numbers, they went upstairs, knocked on various doors, and promptly arrested six delegates.
Later that day, on the other side of the Atlantic, in New Year, the Justice Department revealed 47 count federal indictment, accusing 14 defendants of charges including money laundering. Wire fraud, and racketeering.
Those accused included FIFA executives, a broadcasting company, and sports marketing executive.
It followed an investigation centred around deals brokered between FIFA, sports marketing groups and broadcasting companies for the TV rights for the World Cup, and other major football tournaments, specifically involving the CONMEBOL (South America) and CONCACAF (North and Central America and Caribbean) Football Federations.
The claims, dating back to 1991, were that bribes worth in excess of US $150 million had been paid to well -paid FIFA executives in exchange for exclusive TV rights.
The genesis of the charges lay with an earlier investigation into the activities of Chuck Blazer.

Patrolman "Boy Bu" takes a cat nap after a long night chasing criminal crickets, mayhem makin' mice, and racketeering roosters. Not to mention those philandering felines. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

Book 34 was "Touch the Dark" by Karen Chance. It's about a clarvoyant who happens to have lived with vampires as a child. Now that she's taken down her former care taker (for racketeering), she figures she'll be free of vampires. That is, until her clarvoyance becomes a little more than she bargained for. What's kind of fun about this shot is that the tarot cards are from the author's website. I even tried to lay them out in a way that would kind of go with the book.

The sea roared, its rising waves calling out the name of the wind
Rushing in gales, filling lungs, carrying away cries and shouts
The rocks, large, deceptively flat and dry, good solid footing
But slippery as a consigliere on racketeering charges
I watched the swell mesmerized, fear percolating, the sea unknown
Dangerous yet the edge inviting

It's a pretty flag when I don't think about how rancid America has become. Would that we returned to our Constitutional values and left this warmongering and racketeering and rich Republican give-away program behind us.
