London Olympics: 1,200 More Troops, Enough to Continue Games in “Just About Any Scenario”

With only 48 hours notice, it was announced Wednesday 1,200 more troops were told they would be protecting the Olympic games this year in what British Prime Minister David Cameron has now dubbed the “biggest security operation” ever attempted in the United Kingdom’s peacetime history. Event organizers LOCOG noted the additional soldiers will allow the games to continue “in just about any scenario”.

An additional 1,000 soldiers have been placed on standby which, if called in, would bring this year’s Olympic security total to roughly 19,200 — a number equal to the entire armed forces of the West African country of Guinea. U.S. intelligence and British security officials have co-established a threat integration center to analyze potential Olympics threat data. Other security measures include drafted U.S. TSA agents, body scanners, an LRAD sound cannon, fighter jets, drones, battleships, and surface-to-air missiles planted on nearby apartment building rooftops (despite tenant objection). Britain’s National Health Service is spending £900,000 to have an additional 50 ambulances from four private firms responding on the streets of London each day of the games.

All told, the 2012 Olympics comes with a price tag of approximately $14.5 billion. What “scenario” could possibly occur amidst a security operation of this caliber and cost short of an actual war?

The months leading up to the Olympics certainly have been a curious time. The BBC put out a documentary pushing the premise that UFOs may invade London during the games. Israel officials relayed fears Irani terrorists might attempt an “anniversary attack” on Israeli athletes. Acclaimed director Ben Fellows infiltrated the contracted Olympics security company G4S and broke intelligence of plans to evacuate London, including a cache of 200,000 casket liners on reserve.

Fellows is not the only one to mention a potential false flag at this year’s games by far. Raising tensions further, Iran threatened to boycott the Olympics last year, citing that the “2012” in the logo spells out “Zion,” a reference country officials claimed was to Jerusalem. It has also been noted by many that the Olympic mascots Wenlock and Mandeville — cartoonish cyclopean creatures — have been likened to illuminist “all seeing eye” symbolism, and the official Olympics website claims each giant eyeball is actually a camera that allows these mascots to “record everything”. As previously reported by Infowars.com, a multitude of YouTube videos, including a 15-minute presentation suggesting propaganda holds the key that the New World Order may stage a bio-terror attack, abound.

Whether or not another 9/11-style event may take place, as British General Sir Nick Parker suggested had already been extensively planned for, the message from the heart of a completely militarized London hosting this year’s games is clear: the powers that be prefer to rule with absolute fear. What we are living in now is beyond any police state that ever existed in the deepest, darkest recesses of George Orwell’s mind.

Let the games begin.

Google Admits It Did Not Delete Email and Password Data Collected by StreetView

July 27, 2012

Despite repeated assurances in public and to the Information Commissioner, Google has admitted that it did not in fact delete all the data, which could include passwords and emails, collected over open WiFi networks by its Streetview mapping cars in 2010 in a number of countries around the world.

The news means that Britain’s recently reopened investigation into the so-called WiFi snooping could be bolstered by an opportunity to re-examine evidence that the ICO had asked to be destroyed. The ICO has demanded to examine the data “immediately” to look for evidence that it is in fact more extensive than Google had originally claimed, as authorities in America had discovered for data collected there.

Other countries affected are Ireland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Austria and Australia.

Foreign Troops to Confiscate American Guns Under UN Treaty

Aaron Dykes

July 27, 2012

For those who’ve been wondering how the domestic gun grabbers or the United Nations think they’re going to get away with gun control here at home, one need look no further than Article 15 of the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty.

Many American troops are patriots who understand their oaths to uphold the Constitution, so they can’t be counted upon to confiscate guns. But foreign troops are another story.

Article 15 of the UN Arms Trade Treaty, if ratified, provides for foreign “assistance to implement the Treaty,” and mandates that nations who can provide requested support must do so if requested by member nations. That includes legal, financial, technical as well as “material” assistance to enforce a treaty that declares “recreational, cultural, historical and sporting activities” to be the “exclusively” recognized reasons for lawful private ownership, and which further recognizes the “inherent rights” of the State (i.e. nations under the treaty) to self-defense, but makes no mention of the rights of the individual.

Read the language of Article 15 for yourself:

Will foreign troops be going door-to-door to ensure compliance with new gun registry policies, imposed limits on ammunition and magazines, or in enforcing outright confiscation? Joint training exercises conducted between U.S. armed forces and various foreign armies have trained to do just that.

In 2010, the Infowars crew covered Operation Vigilant Guard, a joint training exercise in Chicago, in which U.S. troops drilled with Eastern bloc troops to partner in stopping terrorism, dealing with meth dealers and WMDs, as well as in gun confiscation. Countless other exercises have taken place on U.S. soil involving similar joint operations for a martial law occupation with the participation of foreign troops:

Foreign Troops Training To Confiscate Guns of Americans

American troops were ordered to conduct door-to-door gun confiscation sweeps after Hurricane Katrina, and while it has emerged that at least one unit stood down and refused the order, many more carried out the unconstitutional mission. That precedent has been followed by other exercises training American soldiers for gun seizures, along with other martial law measures.

Infowars Nightly News co-host Rob Dew underscored the history of training to take American guns in his recent viral report:

Troops Ordered To Kill All Americans Who Do Not Turn In Guns

Meanwhile, the United Nations itself has forcibly disarmed numerous African nations using foreign troops, and the vacuum of power has led in several cases to genocidal atrocities as a direct result of taking away arms. The genocide in Rwanda was enabled by forcible disarmament. As Republic Magazine writes, the mass murder was “carried out by government-aligned Hutu tribal militias against a targeted ethnic population – the Tutsis – who had been disarmed with the help of UN “peacekeeping” forces under the supervision of future UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.” The Darfur crisis in Sudan also has its roots in UN-led population disarmament, as does the Burma (Myanmar) massacre, again the result of disarmament. Armed troops representing international interests including the World Bank burned down homes and killed children in effort to forcibly evict some 40,000 Ugandans on the basis of conserving lands to combat climate change.

Indeed, genocide and disarmed populations go hand-in-hand through history– just look at the history of Democide (death by government). R.J. Rummel at the University of Hawaii is the leading academic on the subject, and has estimated that more than 262 million unnatural deaths in the 20th Century alone were caused by government, and most were at the hands of despots preying upon their helpless peoples. From Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, to Turkey, Armenia and beyond, gun bans have created a shift in the balance of power towards the state, creating an atmosphere of victim disarmament.

Blue helmets or foreign uniforms have no place on foreign soil, yet the UN Arms Trade Treaty text reveals a mechanism to impose just that type of control– even in America.

DHS Puts Out Urgent Order For Riot Gear

Federal agency expecting unrest at RNC & DNC

Paul Joseph Watson

Friday, July 27, 2012

The Department of Homeland Security has put out an urgent solicitation for hundreds of items of “riot gear,” in preparation for expected unrest at the upcoming Republican National Convention, Democratic National Convention and next year’s presidential inauguration.

The DHS solicitation issued on Wednesday gave potential suppliers just one day to submit their proposals, with the equipment to be delivered to Alexandria, VA within a 15-day period after the award is made.

The riot gear will be worn by Federal Protective Service agents who are tasked with protecting property, grounds and buildings owned by the federal government.

Authorities in Tampa are expecting massive numbers of demonstrators to travel to the RNC next month, with “free speech zones” readied to prevent protesters from leaving designated areas.

Government Security News features a list of riot gear the DHS is looking to obtain.

- 147 riot helmets – which must have an “adjustable tactical face shield with liquid seal” and be able to fit the “3M Full Face Respirator FR-M40B masks.”

- 147 sets of upper body and shoulder protection – which will “effectively protect the torso and shoulders from blunt force trauma” and “safely absorb blows delivered from blunt objects…”

- 152 sets of thigh and groin protection – which “protects the thigh area and has an adjustable and removable groin protector.”

- 147 hard shell shin guards – which can provide “substantial protection from flying debris, non-ballistic weapons, and blows to the leg” and should have an “optimized protective design for severe riot control or tactical situations.”

- 156 forearm protectors – which should shield the “entire forearm from the wrist to the elbow” and weigh approximately six ounces.

- 147 pairs of tactical gloves – which should ensure that the “Kevlar on back of hands is flame/flash retardant as well as cut protective” and that they utilize a “rolled finger tip design for excellent trigger sensitivity and fit.”

This is by no means the only indication that the Department of Homeland Security is gearing up for civil unrest inside the United States.

Back in March, the DHS awarded defense contractor ATK a deal to provide the DHS with 450 million rounds of bullets over a five year period.

The DHS has also recently purchased a number of bullet-proof checkpoint booths that include ‘stop and go’ lights.

Earlier this year, the federal agency also hired hundreds of new security guards to protect government buildings

In January, residents were stunned to see FPS agents armed with semiautomatic guns stationed outside a Social Security office in Florida checking ID’s as part of an exercise.

The Federal Protective Service has also been used by the DHS to track the political activities of peaceful advocacy groups.

5 TSA Agents Fired for Not Conducting Random Searches, 33 suspended

Adan Salazar

July 27, 2012

Following news that the TSA is manning train stations and bus terminals in Southern California in addition to airports, it can be speculated that these checkpoints, in the future, will begin conducting random searches of travelers.

This can be assumed from recent news of 5 TSA agents being fired for NOT conducting random searches.

The agents, workers of the Southwest Florida International Airport, went rogue when they failed to perform the “proper procedure” of applying random screenings.

Sari Koshetz, spokeswoman for the TSA told news-press.com, “Our investigation determined that some employees did not follow the proper procedure for applying random, supplemental screening procedures which provide an additional layer of security.”

Only 5 workers were fired, but 33 have been suspended, in addition to one receiving a letter of reprimand.

So far the TSA, has yet to divulge the capture of a single terrorist. They cite national security as their reason for not disclosing such information. However, others believe that they don’t release this information because there have been no captures made.

They have, however, succeeded in weeding out any semblance of freedom Americans at one time were known for. They have thankfully thwarted attacks from 18-month-old babies, disabled 3-year-old boys, 95-year-old Wheelchair-bound veterans, and groups of deaf travelers.

In addition they have sexually harassed and humiliated numerous others, including a former Miss USA, actor William Shatner, blogger Erin Chase, and attractive women in general.

All of this makes sense considering testimony from a TSA supervisor in Rhode Island, calling in to the Alex Jones Show, that stated TSA actively seeks people who are sociopaths and have histories of violence or abuse of authority.

The practice of hiring these types of people comes as no surprise to Kurt Nimmo, who writes: “…it does take a certain kind of individual to perform non-stop pat-downs that are nearly indistinguishable from sexual molestation. It should come as no surprise a large percentage of them run afoul of the law or end up accused of sex crimes.”

Indeed, our freedom to travel through our own country “unmolested” is being eroded right before our eyes, and submitting to random TSA screenings at train and bus stations will further blur the line between what Americans think is a pat-down “in our best interests” and outright sexual abuse.

AE911Truth Action Group Leaders Embark on Cross-Country Bike Ride

Marta Nielsen

July 27, 2012

Orcas Island resident Rena Patty embarks today on the journey of lifetime – a bicycle ride across America. Patty, with traveling companion Pamela Senzee from Phoenix, AZ, expects to take 90 days to reach their destination New York City. Both women are Action Group Team Leaders for the nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth). Their journey is dedicated to all who have died and suffered loss on account of 9/11. Their mission is to educate the public about the scientific forensic evidence of the destruction of the three World Trade Center (WTC) hi-rises on 9/11 and to introduce people to the experts at AE911Truth.

The women have concern about the accuracy of reports produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the government agency tasked to analyze the destruction of the WTC hi-rises on 9/11. WTC building 7 was the third hi-rise to collapse on 9/11. At 5:20 p.m., WTC 7 collapsed suddenly into its own footprint in about 6.5 seconds, the first 2.25 seconds at a rate indistinguishable from free-fall. NIST claims the building fell because of normal office fires. Structural engineers from AE911Truth requested to see the computer model used by NIST to explain the sudden collapse of WTC 7. NIST refused, saying that to release the computer model would “jeopardize public safety.” More than 1700 credentialed architects and engineers have signed the AE911Truth petition calling for an independent investigation into the destruction of the WTC hi-rises on 9/11.

On their journey, Patty and Senzee are distributing a new documentary, “9/11: Experts Speak Out.” The documentary features interviews with the most highly credentialed AE911Truth petition signers. Experts like Richard Humenn, former chief electrical engineer for the WTC complex, and Roland Angle, a civil engineer who was responsible for designing blast resistance of the Minuteman Missile silos. Patty says, “This bike trip is not about us, it’s about introducing people to these experts.” The idea of a bike ride arose two months ago as Patty and Senzee brainstormed ideas of possible legal nonviolent actions to bring attention to this issue. Patty says, “My college degree is in science. The scientific evidence presented by AE911Truth looks extremely important to me. We wanted to do something big enough to let people know how important this issue is to us.”

Dems Sneak Gun Control Amendment Into Cybersecurity Bill

Ramsey Cox
The Hill
July 27, 2012

Democratic senators have offered an amendment to the cybersecurity bill that would limit the purchase of high capacity gun magazines for some consumers.

Shortly after the Cybersecurity Act gained Senate approval to proceed to filing proposed amendments and a vote next week, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a sponsor of the gun control amendment, came to the floor to defend the idea of implementing some “reasonable” gun control measures.

The amendment was sponsored by Democratic Sens. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.), Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Bob Menendez (N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Schumer and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.). S.A. 2575 would make it illegal to transfer or possess large capacity feeding devices such as gun magazines, belts, feed stripes and drums of more than 10 rounds of ammunition with the exception of .22 caliber rim fire ammunition.

The amendment is identical to a separate bill sponsored by Lautenberg. Feinstein was the sponsor of the assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004.
