Is Rob Skiba dead? I would say, yes and no. Yes the entity the we knew as Rob Skiba no longer exists, I guess in the same way that when a company is liquidated because of debts, that company cannot come back without paying off its debts, so it doesn't come back. But no, I hope the man himself might one day read this and smile.
Administration and liquidation of The Rangers Football Club plc
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administr ... l_Club_plc
Rangers, a football club in Scotland, entered financial difficulties during the late 2000s. The club, trading as The Rangers Football Club plc, entered administration in February 2012. It owed substantial amounts to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), who subsequently refused to allow Rangers to exit administration via a company voluntary arrangement (CVA). The Rangers Football Club plc entered liquidation on 31 October 2012.
The refusal of the CVA forced the administrators to sell the business and assets of Rangers to a new company, operated by Charles Green. The other member clubs of the Scottish Premier League refused to allow the new company to adopt the league membership of the old company. Green then successfully applied for membership of the Scottish Football League. After obtaining the old company's Scottish Football Association (SFA) membership, Rangers (now trading as The Rangers Football Club Ltd) entered the Third Division (the fourth tier of the Scottish football league system) in time for the 2012–13 season. Rangers gained promotion to the first tier of the Scottish leagues in 2016, and in 2021 won their first Scottish league title since the insolvency.
So famously, Glasgow Rangers owners ran up vast debts including unpaid taxes to the HMRC. I don't know the ins-and-outs, but the owners asset stripped the company, intended to bankrupt it so they could write off all debts, then pick up where they left off under a new company debt-free. This is pretty much what they succeeded in doing. The other clubs didn't want them back in the premiership, and that name should have been barred permanently. But they were allowed to rejoin under an almost identical name, see above, but not the same name. It only took the new Rangers three years to get back to where they were. I suspect netting the owners a much better yield than any equivalent investment market.
What has this got to do with Rob Skiba, well actually, it has more to do with Eric Dubay. And this is one of those chance things I didn't actually set out to look at. Dubay never really grabbed me as a content creator. So, believe it or not I was in the process of replying to Unreal and I mentioned Zionism, and I thought I should check what the official understanding of Zionism is, because I don't actually know.
And having previously seen multiple Olympics logo spelling Zion, I looked that up and came to this post.
The Conspiracy Olympics
https://andrewgough.co.uk/the-conspiracy-olympics/
It is easy to be sceptical and to criticise many of the so-called occult elements of the London 2012 Olympic Games. For instance, I live in East London and can confirm that there are many biblical street names in this part of the city. I can also see loads of underdeveloped areas from my balcony. Nevertheless, proponents point out that the first London Olympic conspiracist to go public with these ideas was a 28-year-old man by the name of Rik Clay, who managed a blog called the Cosmic Mind. Clay was found dead in August 2008, 3 months after exposing the London Olympics’ occult connections. Those sceptical of foul play reference the fact that he was simply regurgitating ideas that had already been developed by the British researcher, Ian R Crane, who had a considerably farther media reach than the young blogger. Furthermore, Clay’s parents acknowledge that their son had been depressed and are comfortable with the cause of death being suicide.
I'd never heard of Rik Clay, so I thought I'd just put his name in the search engine to see if anything popped up about him, and what do you know, he's got his own Foundation. Rollover Tony Blair, Rik Clay has entered the building.
Rik Clay Foundation
http://rikclayfoundation.org/rik-clay.html
When a big force and character passes away, the initial effects are devastating. At first you mourn the loss and even reproach yourself then, as time passes, you look to the future, focussing on the positive elements. What have we lost? What can we learn? Richard John Clay, born 5th August 1982 in Scunthorpe, UK, was a musician, graphic designer, web designer, writer, researcher and charismatic genius whose mission was to bring fairness, abundance and joy to all human beings. At school in Scunthorpe he achieved top grades in nearly everything he did. It was during this time, whilst studying for his “A” levels, that Rik found his passion for music
Attending Leeds Metropolitan University from 2001 to 2004, graduating with a 2/1 degree in Multi Media Technology, Rik subsequently went on to work in graphic / web design for a number of companies.
At the age of 16 he founded the band FULC, who, over the course of their youthful development went on to become a highly respected rock band. Between the years 2001 and 2005 FULC released 4 records – “Void” EP ( 2001 ), “The Fallen” EP ( 2002 ), “Biting Insomnia” Album ( 2003 ), “Embrace.Destroy” Mini Album ( 2005 ) – all critically acclaimed nationally in the UK Rock Press. FULC toured the UK relentlessly for 4 years and toured Germany in 2005 to support the release of the records there.
Rik joined rock band Ten Seconds of Chaos between 2006 and 2007 and started his solo project Somewhere Not Here during 2006.
In July 2006 Rik met his life partner Mick Bullock and together they began an escalating campaign of travel and research. He developed interests in a great number of fascinating fields, including crop circles and sacred geometry, Reiki and Shamanism, free energy research, ancient mythology and Pyramidology, the global consciousness and the noosphere, reincarnation theory, 2012 and the Mayans, precession of the equinoxes, talismans, synchronicity, telepathy, holographic universal theory, and all things esoteric.
You get the picture...oh actually, this is the picture....
And still I hadn't clicked, but I thought, could this be a chap
@Unreal told me about. I remember him saying something about a bloke who died that looked like Eric Dubay before Eric Dubay was a thing. He posted up a picture, but it was low resolution so you couldn't really tell. They looks similar in general, and I remember Unreal talking about the name. Rik Clay. Eric Dubay... Yes, the rhyme, this is that person. And we have a better picture.
Because I've only got one picture upload left on this post, you'll have to wait for my interesting little match, but in the mean time, let's get up a picture of Eric Dubay... Rik from Scunthorpe, hey; he might have picked that town because it's one of those funny English names, it's up there with Skegness.
Old Eric likes wearing his eye makeup for pictures I've noticed. I wonder if the Rik Clay Foundation was his idea?
