Summer Olympics Safe and Secure

The false flag has been called off. I repeat, the false flag has been called off. 

"Tuesday’s incident was an embarrassing breach of security days before the start of the Olympics."

Maybe I spoke too soon.

Then I saw this on the front page of my Globe and said, no, probably not.

"London Olympics push security to new levels" by Shira Springer  |  Globe Staff, July 25, 2012

LONDON — British troops dressed in fatigues manned Olympic Park security checkpoints Tuesday, putting on their friendliest faces as visitors, volunteers, and the media trickled onto the site.

All went well, but it was a far cry from the first impression London Olympics organizers had intended.

The soldiers were called in at the last minute to fill the staffing gap left by the Olympics’ private security contractor, G4S. Last week, the company’s failure forced the government to turn 3,500 British soldiers into security guards for the Games. One British parliament minister called the conduct of G4S a “humiliating shambles.” 

I'm already starting to get a bellyache. 

In the post 9/11-era, the Olympics can be appealing terrorist targets with hundreds of dignitaries, politicians, and royals attending and the world watching.  

Which, when you think about it, would argue against a false flag at this time. They never do it to themselves. 

The size and scope of the London Games — 30 filled-to-capacity venues spread across Europe’s second largest city, several hundred thousand spectators packed into subway trains every day and countless viewing parties at neighborhood pubs — present numerous hard and soft targets. And those targets come with numerous security challenges.

That's more likely but that will just eliminate rabble and advanced the agenda of tyranny.   

And my stomach is really starting to hurt.

Attempting to handle those challenges, London Olympics organizers and government officials have spent several years on logistical coordination and contingency planning aimed at delivering the highest degree of security without dampening the festive spirit of the Games.

Following a Cabinet meeting on venue security led by Prime Minister David Cameron, an additional 1,200 soldiers were summoned to Olympic security duty Tuesday, pushing the number of British military personnel involved in safeguarding the Games to more than 18,000.

“On the eve of the largest peacetime event ever staged in this country, ministers are clear that we should leave nothing to chance,” said Olympics Secretary Jeremy Hunt in a statement. “The government continues to have every confidence that we will deliver a safe and secure Games.”

As the Opening Ceremonies draw near, it is hard to miss ramped-up security efforts and growing security concerns around the city.  

And by "protecting" you from themselves they will prove how valuable is the total surveillance society.

The British are painfully aware of London’s vulnerabilities, particularly with its transportation system. On July 7, 2005, the day after the capital was awarded the right to host the 2012 Summer Games, four home-grown terrorists detonated bombs on three London Underground trains and one double-decker bus.  

My stomach is really roaring now.

And the 40th anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre hangs over the London Games. Palestinian terrorists kidnapped and killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches in Munich.

Nothing is ever as told by the Zionist prism known as the AmeriKan media.

“The massive size and scope of the event is really the hardest thing to deal with,” said Don Borelli, a security and counterterrorism specialist who spent 25 years with the FBI. “The magnitude of the Olympics works against any host country.

******************************************

Security specialists caution that the weeks and days before a big event are the most critical because terrorists typically do reconnaissance and dry runs during that period.

Organizers and officials are trying to fill in perceived gaps, hoping to create a deterrent effect with alerts and noticeable military and police presence around the city.

**************************** 

Antiaircraft missiles are stationed on rooftops to protect the air space above venues. And the Royal Navy’s largest warship is floating in the Thames River, where it will serve as a base for military helicopters and Royal Marine snipers.

Additionally, FBI agents will be in London to help protect American athletes and VIPs, as they have at previous Games. Almost all foreign dignitaries travel with their own security, underscoring the need for communication and cooperation.

In many respects, security at large-scale sports events has become what Borelli called “a worldwide responsibility.”

**************************

Communication will be even more important as London organizers and officials deal with the G4S fiasco. Now, another concern is how well the additional soldiers adapt to their new assignments....

I'm not worried anymore.

Borelli, now a senior vice president with The Soufan Group, a strategic consultancy, said, “You have to believe that with their basic military training they have a general sense of security. Teaching them how to do screening and checking shouldn’t be too far outside their skill set. The problem would be just some of the coordination issues.”

But all along, organizers and officials have insisted they are prepared for anything, reviewing and rehearsing different types of emergency scenarios.

Speaking before the G4S debacle, Hugh Robertson, British Minister for Sport and the Olympics, said, “We have a book with every single risk from terrorism to plague to electricity failure. The risk register says what we’re going to do if any of those things happen. We think we have convincing answers should any and all of those things happen. Anyone who reads this ought not to be alarmed, but take great comfort in the fact that we’re planning for these things.”

I take that to mean no drill will be going live during the games.

How could there be? 

"British police charge 5 with terrorism offenses" by Alan Cowell  |  New York Times, July 20, 2012

LONDON — British police officials said Thursday that they had charged five people with terrorism offenses but insisted that the accusations were not related to the Olympic Games opening here July 27 amid a shortage of civilian security personnel that has forced an expanded military deployment....  

Why do they have to lie about the public relations show?

Despite official assurances that the arrests were not related to the security of the games, preparations for the event have been tarnished by the failure of G4S, a global security firm, to recruit all of the guaranteed 10,400 personnel it promised to deploy.

The chief executive of the company, Nick Buckles, acknowledged before a parliamentary panel Tuesday that the shortfall represented a ‘‘humiliating shambles’’ for his company.

The Army promised an extra 3,500 soldiers, some just back from the war in Afghanistan, to patrol the games, bringing the total military commitment to 17,000....

Let's hope some traumatized soldier doesn't have an incident, 'eh?

For all the assurances, another potential disruption emerged Thursday with plans among thousands of staff members at the Home Office, including airport immigration workers, to strike to press demands for better working conditions.

Say what?

Back to Afghanistan: 

"British Prime Minister David Cameron called on Afghanistan and Pakistan this week to make common cause against insurgents in the two countries’ border zone. Cameron spoke Thursday in Kabul in a visit aimed at adding British weight to American diplomatic attempts to get Pakistan to become more cooperative in ending the Afghan war."  

Yeah, right, it's all Pakistan's fault. Maybe if western intelligence agencies stopped arming groups in the region.... (sigh)  

Btw, I was told Britain was at peace.

"Romney says US doesn’t need stricter gun laws" by Callum Borchers  |  Globe Correspondent, July 25, 2012

Mitt Romney flew to London on Tuesday, after addressing the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Reno, Nev.

In that speech, Romney criticized Obama’s foreign policy record, saying the president “has given trust where it is not earned, insult where it is not deserved, and apology where it is not due.”

On the eve of his foreign tour, Romney said he wanted to speak his mind in Reno because he “wouldn’t venture into another country to question American foreign policy.”  

Which he then did as he lowered trou in Israel! 

But later Tuesday night, London’s Daily Telegraph quoted an anonymous Romney adviser­ as saying: “We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and [Romney] feels that the special relationship [between the United States and Britain] is special. The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.” The Telegraph noted that the comment “may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity.”

Looks more elitist to me.

Early Wednesday, Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg quickly rejected the Anglo-Saxon remark: “If anyone said that, they weren’t reflecting the views of Governor Romney or anyone inside the campaign,” Henneberg said.

Obama adviser David Axelrod called the remark “stunningly offensive” on Twitter, and Vice President Joe Biden ripped the comment as a “disturbing start to a trip designed to demonstrate Governor Romney’s readiness to represent the United States on the world’s stage.”

In the NBC interview, Romney said he is “generally not enthusiastic about adopting the comments of people who are unnamed.”

“I’m not sure who this person is,” Romney said. “But I can tell you that we have a very special relationship between the United States and Great Britain — it goes back to our very beginnings — cultural and historical. But I also believe the president understands that. So I don’t agree with whoever that adviser might be but do agree that we have a very common bond between ourselves and Great Britain.”

Romney is to meet Thursday with British officials, including Prime Minister David Cameron, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, and former prime minister Tony Blair.  

Why isn't Bliar in front of the bar at the Hague?

On Friday, Romney will meet with US Olympic athletes before attending the opening of the Olympic Games.

Obama’s comments at the Urban League were primarily focused on measures to help Americans deal with the economic slump, including maintaining homeownership and keeping college affordable.

He said he will sign an executive order Thursday creating an office to improve the education of African-American students.

The more things change....

"Romney words on Olympics readiness draw British riposte" by Glen Johnson  |  Globe Staff, July 27, 2012

British Prime Minister David Cameron and England’s famously tough media tweaked Mitt Romney Thursday after the presumptive Republican presidential nominee suggested that London might not be ready for its Olympic moment. 

Related: Cameron Caught Up in Media Conspiracy

“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out,” said Romney, who ran the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. “There are a few things that were disconcerting: the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging.”

This guy has been hanging out with too many Bush neo-cons and Zionist Jews.  It's the only explanation for the Mormon being an asshole.

Those comments prompted a quick rebuke from Cameron. “We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world,” Cameron told reporters after visiting the venues where the 2012 Summer Olympics will begin Friday. “Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere” — an apparent reference to Salt Lake City.

Local newspapers were equally tart.

The Daily Mail Online carried a headline, “Who invited him?”

The "terrorists?"

Romney’s initial comments came Wednesday in London during an interview with NBC News, at the outset of a European and Middle East trip aimed at burnishing Romney’s foreign affairs bona fides. Following the sharp retorts, Romney and Cameron met Thursday at No. 10 Downing Street, where both were more diplomatic....  

Translation: this is all much ado about nothing and a huge s*** fooley distraction!

In addition, Romney disclosed he received a briefing from Sir John Sawers, head of the country’s top-secret MI6 intelligence agency. Revealing that he had such a meeting prompted even more negative headlines for Romney in Britain, where it is not considered good form to disclose the fact of such a high-level intelligence briefing....

"Mitt Romney’s ’02 Olympics short on transparency; Despite pledge, records destroyed" by Christopher Rowland and Callum Borchers  |  Globe Staff | Globe Correspondent, July 24, 2012

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney.... a close-to-the-vest chief executive unwilling to share so much as a budget with a state board responsible for spending oversight. Archivists now say most key records about the Games’ internal workings were destroyed under the supervision of a staff member shortly after the flame was extinguished at Olympic Cauldron Park, after Romney had returned to Massachusetts....

Shows a pattern, doesn't it?

Romney and the Salt Lake Organizing Committee had no legal obligation to preserve their records or make them public, even though the state paid $59 million, and the federal government spent $342 million on the Games and contributed roughly $1 billion more in indirect aid for transportation projects and other capital improvements in the Salt Lake region.

Like other Olympics, the 2002 Winter Games were managed not by a public entity but by a private, nonprofit corporation that was exempt from public records laws.

Earlier Olympic organizing committees, too, had destroyed internal documents. Organizers of the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, burned records of their bid to host the Olympics — a move widely believed to have covered up bribery.

But Romney vowed that he and his committee would operate out in the open.  

This guy is really looking like a serial liar.

Dubbed a “franchise player” by Utah’s Governor Mike Leavitt, Romney was charged with leading the comeback from a scandal in which some on the Salt Lake bid committee had quietly doled out cash payments to International Olympic Committee members during the host city selection process.

“Any time there has been a breach of trust by people at the top, that organization is going to be placed under a microscope, and that is appropriate,” Romney said at a news conference on Feb. 11, 1999, the day he was named chief executive of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. “We will be viewed much more carefully than any other organizing committee, perhaps in the history of the Olympics, and we deserve to be so viewed. I believe we will come through with flying colors.”

Now destroy those records.

***********************

Salt Lake Organizing Committee officials confirmed to the Globe that most administrative records were destroyed in the months after the Games concluded.

Romney did not oversee the destruction of organizing committee documents. That task fell to Fraser Bullock (no relation to Kenneth Bullock), the committee’s chief operating officer and a former Romney colleague at Bain Capital, who took over as the Games’ chief executive when Romney left to run for governor of Massachusetts.

“Mitt didn’t have anything to do with any of those decisions,” Fraser Bullock said. “He was long gone, and it was really left up to the people left behind to decide what to keep and what not to keep.”  

As president he will be responsible for the actions of those below him, sorry.

"Romney’s tone on China hardened over a decade; Country’s bid for Olympics was supported by GOP nominee" by Matt Viser  |  Globe Staff, July 25, 2012

WASHINGTON — The first television ads of Mitt Romney’s general election campaign boasted of how he would confront China’s leaders, whom he has branded “cheaters” on economic policy. He would be a president, he said, who “stands up to China on trade and demands they play by the rules.”

Yet before he held public office — and at a crucial moment for the communist government — Romney was one of the chief Western voices arguing that critics should overlook China’s human rights record and welcome its application for a top ticket to international legitimacy: hosting the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Aren't flip-flops made in China?

“The Olympics are about building bridges, not building walls,” Romney said in August 2001 during an Olympic committee meeting in Moscow. “We should not build walls that block communication with other countries, even if we vehemently disagree with their practices.”   

Ah, geesh!

As a leader in the Olympics movement, Romney practiced an open-arms form of diplomacy that is at odds with the often hard-edged posture he has taken as a presidential candidate.

It's called s*** fooley hypocrisy. 

His presence at the London Games, which open Friday, will be a reminder of his successful management of the 2002 Winter Olympics but also of his tendency to ground his views on important issues on the needs of the moment.  

Then he opened his mouth.

While earlier this year he called Russia the “number one geopolitical foe” of the United States, Romney in 2001 emerged from a meeting of Olympic officials with President Vladmir Putin at the Kremlin with flattery for the steely-eyed Russian leader he called “charming.”   

How do say flip-flop in Russian?

Over the past decade, Romney’s roles have changed just as world politics has changed. He is also now speaking to an American audience focused on electing a president, not an Olympic community promoting a philosophy of togetherness in sport....

Romney’s supporters say his Olympic experience provided important lessons about the international chessboard.  

I see that term and I see elites kicking around the globe like a soccer ball. 

“The politics of the international Olympic movement makes the UN look simple by comparison,” said John Bolton, a former UN ambassador who helped with Atlanta’s efforts to secure the 1996 Summer Olympics and is now a Romney adviser. “To hold a successful Olympics like the Salt Lake City Olympics is not at all dissimilar to the complexities of diplomacy.’’  

Isn't that interesting? Rabid neo-con and former Bushie Bolton helped in Atlanta where a bomb did in fact go off. The FBI then tried to frame the poor fella that was a hero because he found it.

A Romney spokesman said there was no contradiction between Romney’s harsh criticism of China now and his more inclusive remarks in 2001.

“Governor Romney firmly criticized China’s human rights record and made the case that the Olympics bidding process would be a way to ‘spread the ideas of civil societies’ to China,” spokesman Ryan Williams said in a statement.

What civil societies is he talking about? The kind that invade, occupy, and kill millions for raw energy reserves?

Whose the "civil" one again? 

In 1999, when Utah called upon Romney, preparation for the Games was in disarray.

Romney entered as a businessman, someone who could fix a financial and morale problem. He had been a fan of the Games, but only from the comfort of his own couch....  

I'm not even that. I don't even watch the basketball.

The Olympics ethos promotes a more all-inclusive view of the world that allows countries to rise above international problems.

Romney appeared to embrace that utopian philosophy, of sport and beyond....

But real-world politics often intrude into the Games.

What you realize now if you watch any of it is how corporatized the games have become.

As China began to emerge as a world power, its human rights record bred a persistent debate over whether a country with a quarter of the globe’s population should have the honor of hosting the Games.  

Who have they invaded and tortured lately?

In Moscow, where members of the International Olympic Committee would make their decision, a Chinese delegation spent the final days trying to convince anyone who would listen that they deserved the 2008 Summer Games.

Yes, I remember those games.

Little more than a decade after the protests in Tiananmen Square, there was concern — in Congress, in Europe, among former Olympic athletes — over the prospect of giving the honor to a country that critics said had an indefensible rights record.

Two days before the International Olympic Committee was planning to vote, Romney spoke at a press conference just after police in Moscow had broken up a protest staged by Tibetan activists against the Beijing bid....

When Romney arrived in China with his wife, Ann, he marveled at what the Chinese had built. But when he recounted his thoughts about the opening ceremonies in a 2010 pre-presidential campaign book, Romney said the experience taught him that censorship had had its desired effect on the Chinese population: The loudest cheers went to North Korea and Cuba.

“We wondered how it was possible that nations ruled by tyrants who deprive their citizens not only of freedom but also of economic subsistence could be celebrated,” he wrote in “No Apology: The Case for American Greatness.”

That's AmeriKa, Mitt!!
