FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Greenwash Gold 2012 Campaign has condemned the multinational sponsors including BP, Rio Tinto and Dow Chemical Company, who have paid tens of millions of pounds to become Olympic sponsors. The campaign stressed that the three companies have caused environmental degradation, damaged public health and failed to clean up their pollution.
The companies, who respectively provide fuel for the Olympic fleet, metal for medals and an ornate stadium wrap, came under intense pressure of international grassroots organizations that formed a coalition in London.
Meredith Alexander, former Olympics “ethics tsar” who resigned in opposition to the chemical firms’ sponsorship, will lead the activists from the United States, Mongolia, Canada and India.
Alexander said Britain vowed that London 2012 would be the greenest games ever, but it managed to pick toxic sponsors. The International Olympic Committee decided to select “Dow, which owns the company ultimately responsible for Bhopal, one of the most polluted sites on the planet; a major mining polluter in the form of Rio Tinto; and BP who are investing in the dirtiest form of oil.”
Dow Chemical, the owner of the Union Carbide India Limited whose pesticide plant in Bhopal, India killed up to 25,000 people and injured over half a million in one of the world’s worst industrial disasters.
Rio Tinto, who provides eight tones of metal for 4,700 medals from its mines in Utah and Mongolia, is accused of threatening the survival of nomadic indigenous people in Mongolia.
“How can a company that destroys thousands of shrubs and wastes millions of litres of water in a desert be a green partner?” Zanna Jurmed, from the Mongolian rights group, said.
BP was responsible for the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and its controversial operations in Alberta, Canada were considered by the activists as carbon intensive, polluting and damaging to the eco system.
While five Olympic rings are believed to represent all nations in the world and link them together with the Olympic ideals, activists stress that the London Olympics will start with a big dent in its ideals.
