An alert to 2018 FIFA World Cup mind control with brain nanobots - deceiving the VAR
... In this regard, match officials often affected the outcome of matches and various soccer stakeholders turned to technology to provide mechanisms and processes to assist and confirm on-field decisions (Ugondo & Tsokwa, 2019). Most recently, video assistant referee (VAR) was introduced by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) for the Football World Cup in Russia during 2018 and in the EPL for the first time during the 2019-2020 season (Flores, 2018;Keogh, 2019). ...
... VAR is a live technology support system for referees, which provides the option of changing or influencing decisions (Flores, 2018). This technology enables an offfield video assistant referee (VAR) within a video operation room (VOR), together with an assistant VAR (AVAR) and a replay operator (RO), to review on-field incidents through the use of several TV monitors (IFAB, 2018). ...
... This technology enables an offfield video assistant referee (VAR) within a video operation room (VOR), together with an assistant VAR (AVAR) and a replay operator (RO), to review on-field incidents through the use of several TV monitors (IFAB, 2018). The various visuals provide different angles of an incident to assist the on-field referee to make decisions that are difficult to make in real time (Flores, 2018). The new technology was developed to assist referees in improving the quality of refereeing decisions, since incorrect decisions influenced the scoreboard or elements of matches (IFAB, 2018). ...
Technology has increasingly disrupted sport matches with the purpose of arriving at fairer and more objective on-field decisions. The introduction and implementation of video assistant referees (VAR) in football are an excellent example of current technological influences in sport. VAR implementation resolves to, inter alia, aid referee decisions regarding invalid fouls and goals scored and has been a burning point of discussion since its introduction. At the beginning of the 2019 English Premier League (EPL), VAR was implemented, which resulted in several controversial decisions that evoked widespread responses from players, fans, spectators and coaches. This study explored spectators and fans' perceptions and experience of the influence of VAR on soccer matches. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with South African soccer fans who watched at least one EPL match per week. Voice recorded data were analysed using inductive coding during the constant comparative method in ATLAS.TI TM , a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software program. Codes were clustered into categories that described the perceptions and experience of EPL fans and spectators of VAR influence on soccer matches. Four categories were concatenated from the codes, which included: perceived benefits, experience, positive vs. negative and future implications. Findings from the study indicate that soccer fans have a fragmented perception and experience of the influence of VAR technology on matches. Implications of continued VAR disruptions to the soccer fan and spectator base could indicate to league administrators that care should be given to enhance the application of the VAR system with changes in rules, referee decision-making, stoppage time and the availably to view and hear VAR comments in the stadium.
... In this system, it is recommended that the referee change the decision if it reveals that the referees or assistant referees have made an obvious mistake (Spitz et al., 2021). In addition, the VAR system provides the evaluation of events in the match from different perspectives to help the referee make real-time decisions (Flores, 2018). The video referee system is an autonomous form of assistance given to referees (Lago-Peñas et al., 2019). ...
The referees play a crucial role by bearing tremendous responsibility in football. Referees not only manage the football match, but they are also the people who are psychologically affected by the atmosphere of the match and are held responsible for any mistake. This responsibility for the referees seems to have eased somewhat with the development of technology.Yet, unless an evaluation is made from the point of the referees, this situation will remain a mystery. This study aims to evaluate the attitudes of football referees towards the VAR system with the Q method. The methodological model of the study was the Q method, which includes qualitative and quantitative research methods. 25 referees included in the study with the snowball sampling method constitute the study group. The study data were analyzed using the PQMethod 2.35 program, which was developed for Q method studies. The principal component analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. After the analyzes made in the Q method, the data were divided into factors. As a result of principal component analysis and hand rotation afterward, it was seen that the opinions of the participants were gathered under two factors. The questions that the participants gathered under two different factors got higher scores were indicated by their Z scores. The reasons behind it were examined by interviewing the scores obtained from the quantitative data regarding the statements that the participants agreed and did not agree with. As a result, while there is a decrease in the sense of confidence in the referees' VAR system, in themselves and the profession, it is among the results obtained from the opinions that the elimination of injustice is a practice that allows the deserving to win.
... Recent researches that warn of a terrorist organization organized by the economic powers and transnational technology companies that are developing secretly and illicitly neuroscientific human experimentation with brain microchips and nanobots in the world, that is called "the nanomafia". [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] There is an advertising mega-campaign that seeks to get the citizens accustomed to their lives "being part of a film", part of a TV series programming; the actual objective is to seek the voluntary consent so the citizen accepts the televisualization of their whole life, thus, the transnational companies will have legal access to people's private lives without legal claim. As an example, DirecTV promotes in Peruvian malls as Megaplaza the campaign "be part of the programming" inviting passers-by to enter a TV set. ...
