The "Theft" of the Jules Rimet Trophy
Just a few weeks before the World Cup, 1966, the Jules Rimet Trophy was allegedly stolen from a guarded exhibition
This story has more holes than a Lithuanian prostitute's fishnets. It screams "false flag operation". Let's examine the evidence.
1. The Jules Rimet trophy, made out of solid gold and then worth £30,000, was stolen from an exhibition from Central Hall in Westminster, London - right from under the noses two security guards who were being paid to guard it!
2. While the trophy was stolen, thieves inexplicably decided to leave behind a stamp collection worth £3,000,000. Simple maths proves that the stamps were worth 100x more than the trophy. Why take the instantly recognisable trophy worth just 1% that of a stamp collection that would have been far easier to break up and sell on? What would you do?
Look at this picture. It shows two people with $1,000,000, and very happy they look too. Imagine having THREE TIMES that amount. Now imagine that in a real currency, Pounds Sterling, rather than US dollars. Now imagine what that is worth in today's terms. Would you be happy stealing a poxy £30,000 trophy that you'd have to go to the trouble of melting down when you could have a cool £3,000,000 instead, in handy, manageable stamps? No, neither would I.

3. Though the FA had allegedly received demands for money for the safe return of the trophy, it was found a week later by a dog called Pickles, hidden under a bush in Beulah Hill, South London. Does anyone of sound mind really believe that an enterprising thief would risk being spotted or arrested by two security guards when stealing the trophy, make demands for cash to the FA for a week, then simply leave £30,000 of solid gold underneath a bush for some hapless dog to sniff out? This story beggars belief, and quite frankly I'm not buying it. Neither should you, gentle reader.
This story smells worse than a lift full of Plutarkian lawyers, stuck between floors on a holiday weekend.
Here's what actually happened. The FA faked the theft of the trophy in order to raise interest in a competition that had failed to capture the imagination of the English public (ticket sales were negligible prior to the theft). They also wanted to instill a sense of national indignation and pride in the trophy. This would engender feelings of ownership among England fans. They would consider the trophy theirs before they even kicked a ball in anger. It was all part of pre-conditioning to make the gullible English think they already owned the trophy.
What does the innocent little dog Pickles think of this whole sordid affair? TOTALLY BORED!!! If he really had found the Jules Rimet Trophy, surely he would have been very excited? Engaged in ostentatious displays of tail-wagging? Licked the odd passer-by and begged for the occasional doggy treat?
Even the damned DOG is whistleblowing!!!

Oh, there's more. What do we get when we anagrammize "Jules Rimet Trophy"?
"
Their Polymer Just". Which equates to "
Their plastic truth". How very apt!
Or try this one for size.
"
Ripe Motherly Juts". I don't know what that means, but I think it's important.
