However the extract that Nigel took from the blog is definitely there and is weird.
Have to admit I flew through a lot of that to get down to the specific references to football.
Just to balance things a bit though I'll add this, which does explain the modus operandi of the hackers or whackers as he describes them.
He doesn't deny that this is a work of fiction and I'm sure I read in a previous blog that they are writing this way in consultation with their legal advice, before publishing this book themselves.
Anyway here's more snippets by way of explanation, make of it what you will;
Whistleblowing is a risk business. The targeting of other people’s inappropriate powers engenders psychopathic response. There is no support matrix for whistleblowers, the law has to be broken.
Ojo del Toro tweet on Sep 29th 2016: “Blaming entrapment, whistleblowers and hackers for revealing truth about corruption is crazy. Failure lies with institutions and government.”
Metamorphosis is the aim but mutually assured destruction the outcome – the death of football, the death of Ojo del Toro, the death of capitalism, the death of the social, the death of the planet.
The Infamous Wu Shu Hackers are a dynamic, moving target. We are opaque and elastic and geographically spread. The nodes are secure. We have moved the agenda along ahead of the curve for nearly a quarter of a century. The mainstream media doesn’t function. We by-pass this media to become the media. We are anarchists. We have spent our adult lives demolishing capitalism and the liberal state via direct action, sousveillance and hacking, whistleblowing, spying on the spies, setting hoax traps, constantly reconfiguring our security and our advantages. We are latter day Edelweiss Pirates. We give you our art and our graffiti. We offer you dietrologia – the science of what is behind something and we give you ‘pataphysics – the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, examining the laws governing exceptions and universes parallel to this one. The science of imaginary solutions.
And;
Being entirely dominated by our future security led to the decision to make this book a hybrid coded fiction based on fact. We have been made to understand our boundaries by the deepest of state operators (although we were aware pre-enforcement!). This book will not blame the player but it does hate what the game has become. It is a prelude to the football of the future and a coda to the football of the past and present.
And;
We reveal much in the book but some content is redacted and many individuals are coded. Names, characters, businesses, states, places, events and incidents are either the product of a diseased imagination or used in a fictitious manner only linked to the truth via multiversal wormholes. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead or anywhere in between, or actual events is purely coincidental, a fluke, a freak entanglement.
The Infamous Wu Shu Hackers have the biggest sports story of all time. Read on........(His/Their claim.)
are these excerpts from the man/blog? This way of saying simple things in a complicated manner is always a red flag. Usually that means the author's very little of value to say. IMO.
