According
to the mainstream media, we are all excited about the Olympics. Well
I know the corporate sponsors are very excited, but you and me?Apart
from it being an opportunity to pour massive amounts of public money
into corporate bank accounts, at a time when our millionaire cabal of
politicians are telling us we can't afford anything, it is also a
wonderful opportunity for the powers that be to try to crank up
public fear and flood the country with armed police. It appears that
the security bill for the Olympics will be one billion pounds, a
phrase that springs to mind would be, “austerity budget my arse”.
Some of this billion pounds will be spent on putting surface-to-air
missiles on the roofs of private residents' apartments in East
London. The proposed site for this lunacy has over 700 residents
living there, and they are none to pleased about this addition to
their facilities. Can you imagine the scene if one of those adrenalin
pumped uniformed watchful eyed individuals actually fired one of
those missiles over an Olympic packed city like London? After an
unbelievable explosion it would rain white hot shards of metal
shrapnel down on the innocent citizens of wide area of London. Of
course our millionaire government of the people, for the people, are
quite prepared to do such a thing, well that's what governments do.

During the Olympics we can expect our cities to look a bit like a war
zone, there will be armed police everywhere, but after the “Games”
don't expect them all to disappear again. Over the years we have seen
the police being militarised and this is another opportunity to go
further down that road. We already have armed police strutting around
airports, so why not shopping malls, outside banks, at football
matches and of course those blood protesters need to be watched.
Eventually we can expect our “community” policeman to look
something like the photo.
