FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Today’s “Whose Games? Whose City?” gathering, which is organized by the Counter Olympics Network (CON), will be joined by Occupy London, over 40 groups, including War on Want, anti-corporate campaigns, civil liberties groups, local trades councils, green groups, anti-militarists, community groups and other anti-Olympics campaigns.
Demonstrators will march through East London from Mile End to Victoria Park at 12 noon the day after the opening ceremony, in order to highlight the UK government’s move to turn the London Olympics into a showcase of corporate, financial and military power and class privilege.
“The Olympics are meant to be a celebration of human endeavour. However the ‘people’s games’ in London are subject to the whims of global corporations and financial institutions who seek to ‘legally’ avoid tax and saturate sport with their own marketing in an attempt to sanitise their reputations, never mind limiting ticket availability and securing VIP lanes,” said Occupy London supporter Kate Morris.
“Despite the corporate dominance of the Games, the estimated cost to the taxpayer ranges from £11bn to £24bn, all while the UK is falling deeper into recession and Brits continue to be forced to bear austerity cuts for a crisis they didn’t cause.”
Earlier on July 10, campaigners held a public meeting titled “How Big Business Stole the Olympics” on corporate Olympics at St Paul’s Church.
“The 2012 Olympics have turned into a corporate festival of world security, consuming billions of our money to increase private profits, while the elderly, disabled, sick, unemployed, young people and other groups are punished for a crisis caused by the finance industry.” Said CON supporter Julian Cheyne.
Meanwhile, on July 27, London taxis staged a go-slow protest at Hyde Park Corner in central London over the British government’s restrictions on Olympic traffic lanes.
