    Danny Boyle is expected present a grim picture of Britain's satanic mills with a towering factory chimney the centrepiece of a scene showing off the country's coal-powered past.

    The organisers have already revealed how they will show off cricket on the village green, dancing happily around the maypoles and singing for joy in the background. But they are expected to show a darker side to our past in the second scene.

    This dramatic image of what the opening ceremony is expected to look like was caught by a cameraman in an airship which passed near the Olympic Stadium in East London.

    The river snaking through the centre of London seems to resemble the aerial image of London in the EastEnders credits. But sprouting from the landscape are a selection of iconic images from the industrial past.

    There appears to be a coalmine in the image, as well as a water wheel, a cauldron and a cotton loom in the ceremony.

    A giant figure is positioned in the middle of the field which was still covered in tarpaulin when the picture was taken. The 80ft structure appears to be holding a staff or wand.

    In front of the figure is the enormous factory chimney while behind it is is a huge metal cog, upon which are laid wooden sleepers, perhaps a reference to the steam age.

    The ceremony, which is expected to be viewed by a global TV audience of more than a billion, will use more than 13,000 props while a million-watt amplifier will provide the sound.







    also please check http://www.gamesmonitor.org.uk/node/1108

    for some right disgusting factual shit, that the organisers have tried to paper over

    needs the olympics?

    country is a legal definition, countries are corporations,

    how does this country need more infrastructure?

    the cash wont even wittle down to the people who do the work, the main cash goes to the corporations who built the venues roads hotels. ETC

    we should just do what ever other country gets bullied into doing.. selling their sovereignty to the imf, then watch as the corporations build the inferstructure, leaving our kids with even more debt


    do you know the cost of the olympics on our children, and their children??

    their is no way. at all any country makes a profit from having the olympics,

    they always make a loss, and that loss.. will be paid for by the average person.

    not the richer elite.

    what we need to do is get rid of bullshit like the olympics. and actualy use the cash to support the 30% of people living in poverty in the uk,

    Maybe even help the children who live in poverty in the uk,

    instead of being blinded by a nazi symbol (teh rings was for hitlers 36 olympics)

    cheering on the rich and elite, as we pander to them

    people need to wake up out the illusion. before their own kids start to revolt.

    because uk needs to keep up appearances...prestige is everything for a nation states government....and it can have empirical consequences as well

    if the beijing olympics were a complete sham there would have been less investment into china.

    it doesnt matter to the uk about whether it damages british lives or not


    btw i agree on some of your views, and there needs to better taxation system so people are taxed appropriately and so there is better income distribution (which is empirically linked to a happier population overall)

    people also deserve better education opp's

    but a substantial amount of those 30% in poverty- are lazy good for nothing faggots who come from families known for not being employed for god knows how long. theres a substantial amount of brits right know content not to do anything productive, who want everything but dont want to work for it, and have a crisis of honour and morality (i.e. the mindless fags who participated in the UK riots for no reason apart form wanting new Nike's or Xbox 360- only a minority were rioting for political reasosn)


    also the better the infrasturucte: roads, the faster the trains and so forth, then the ^in people getting to work on time = ^ in productivity and profit for corps who often then employ more people.

    the faster and reliable transport the easier and &^ goods arriving on time.

    this is how a capitalist society functions. (and im not portrayng corporations as honourable entitities)

    Thankyou for a well thought-out reply

    We are not in a capitalist society, we are in a plutocracy, in an oligarchy, or in corporatism/cartelism.

    these corporations have been given the same rights as a living person, but yet through all the evil and injustice they bring, no corporation is ever held accountable.

    We do not live in a fair system


    Do you know what taxes are? taxes do not go to pay for services. they goto service the debt we have, most likely current taxes are paying for shit that this country did between 8 and 12 years ago..

    taxes are nothing to do with the current years services; that are provided, ie police/hospital/firebrigade,

    I feel what you saying about those underprivaldged who are on the dole, what do their role models do? ie. what did the british govt do, go iinto iraq/afghanistan/libyia even tho they was all 'illegal wars' they rape and pillage in other lands, bringing home the glory..

    blair has lied so many times. and has been caught out, yet he is rewarded as a peace envoy to the middle east..

    the mindset of the 'rioters' i see the same as the elite. they want everything. no matter how they can have it. they want. if its by force.. then why not? if those who you are supposed to look upto in society can rape other countries.. why cant people under the poverty line, steal to survive??

    governments needs to be abolished, until they actually represent and begin to care for the people of their nations.
    Everything is about making pointless fractional lending,. debt based lending. the bank of england could print its own interest free cash., and sort everything out, but it doesnt.

    Teh banking system is so illegal. they can make money out of thin air, which they charge interest on.. lol

    Their are no production/manufacturing/engineering jobs in the uk. they have been moved to the far east., where they can hire slave labourers who work 18 hour shifts, then commit suicide,..
    aslong as that dont get into the western news they're happy..

    Going by the EU charter.. THE UK is a TOURIST ECONOMY,

    hence why the other jobs have been taken out the system..

    their was investment in china. due to them having a huge work force,

    those same corporations who should be employing people in the west, at a reasonable rate of pay, know they can make more profit, and work their workers even harder, for lil pay. no breaks..

    while everyone in the west supports this slave trade..

    lol

    humanity is a parasite on its self.

    yeah i know taxes mainly go towardsservicing debt, but i would hazard (without having done any research in a while) that the debt that's being served is primarily debt from social spending, projects etcetera.

    debt is as much the citizens fault as it is the government.

    in very FEW countries is it politically viable as a politician to advocate LOWER spending (save maybe Germany>>>UK)

    the public demand better services, more spending hence one of the key reasons for this debt.

    you can also thank Thatcher/Reagan and Neoliberalism and there part in the expansion of credit- making it easier for people to get credit cards and mortgage's they by right cannot afford.

    your average briton (and same in many countries) has no real concept of saving. people take out loans to service education and so forth, but a briton will gladly get in debt to service a holiday or a car or a house they really cant afford.


    so its only right the government tries to cut spending including via taxes.

    however I believe too much deficit cutting is bad (look up the empirical effects of Neoliberalism on healthcare and education- IE IMF )

    I would as a head of state, take out several billion in loans and consult with corporations, civilsociety, community groups, police, ambulance, sociologists, researchers- and invest wisely in infrastucture, education and healthcare, r and d, and manufacturing.

    The UK is a highly advanced economy but OECD countries like the UK and US arelagging in educational indicators behind the likes of Japan/Korea because they dont invest enough in education


    well by def. capitalism is the trickle down effect of moneyeventually reaching you or me, so i dont understand how we are in a oligarchy?

    these corporations are the definition of capitalism and free enterprise. (and i also believe the UK like USA has no way near enough effective regulation of the free market- these free market purist fags like Thatcher and Reagan- didnt have much of a clue- although free market purism has its benefits)

    that's why the US and UK will keep on being exposed to volatile market forces perhaps more than other countries (although the UK gvt did a good job of keeping us relatively afloat)

    we are not in a free market, those corporation do not epitomize the the definition of capitalism.


    we're in a state where the corporations and govts work hand in hand, at the detriment of the people,

    how is it free enterprise when they buy out the competition, when they can lobby to change rules..

    the reason we are in this debt, is due to the elite, hedging public cash, on bets, that they knew where going to fail..

    so withdraw money out the public sector, gamble with it,. if their is a proffit, keep rewards for the corporations, if it is a fail, push it back into the public domain,,

    thats how the system is,

    the uk's economy is based out of the city of london,
    its based on FRAUD, due to how cash is created, the financial system of the world is based out of london, their are so many laws that have been broken by all the companies that have gone bust, ie enron, mf global, the fraud happens due to it being legal in the city of london..

    if you want to know about the daily fraud being commited.. check this dude out..
    hes on russia today everyday

    http://www.youtube.com/user/MaxKeiserTV/videos

    so much knowledge in their..

    the financial system at the moment works on stealing money/assets/equity, and claiming it as your own

    ^true, well, if it was truly free market capitalism it would still suck,

    the commodification of finance is a plague, but people fell into its trap, and they didnt see sense and instead were lured by credit cards and the like, so the general citizenry is also to blame for this mess.

    no one wants to effectively regulate new york and london finance- the corporates, and the bankers benefit too much, but also it will heavily damage the economy and lead to > unemployment, but the problem is, it has to be addressed.

    germany isnt perfect, but there is a good working relationship between civil society, trade unions, corporations and government, which means a less volatile economic situation, relatively low public debt, and a high degree of social and economic achievmement. finance is relatively well regulated.

    the EU is another story but that's a shared problem not just germany's (even though they are the only stable fulll EU member)

    lol they arrest bernies brother for a ponzie scheme, but leave blythe master/ mr diamond and mervyn king alone!!

    its cos their part of the group that makes world wide ponzi schemes.. but those outside the clique are not alowed to commit mass fraud


    the wholes system is madness.. the system is the ponzi scheme



    anyway.. this is really good!

    Recorded: 29th June 2011 - Week two of Lee Hazledean's reports undercover at the London Olympics private security firm G4S. G4S are talking about 'brand screening' the spectators despite publicly saying it will not happen. Ian Horseman Sewell, MD Global Events has said they will not brand screen. However during Lee's training he was specifically told that if someone turned up in say a tee shirt from a company who wasn't sponsoring the Olympics then he would need to tell them to take off their tee shirt and turn it inside out, get changed into another or go home and change, as a condition of entry. If they turned the tee-shirt back the right way once inside the venue Lee was told they would be ejected from the Olympics. Lee's been told that certain people called Internationally Protected People cannot be screened? IPP's are anybody that LOCOG say they are! Surely everyone should get screened and treated fairly. This directly builds in room for a false flag operation. There is a sinister implication with non-British international firm G4S running the Metropolitan police force which of course is their ultimate aim as the New World Order security outfit of choice. Like the Nazi Gestapo who supplanted the German police in the 1930s. Why have we allowed G4S to increase their contract from £86m to a staggering £284m and they still want more. There has been no proper oversight whatever by our politicians so why not? How do you evacuate the Olympic stadium? How do you evacuate the Olympic park? G4S trainers told Lee about evacuating London but not discussed what the emergency procedures are for evacuating any Stadium in the event of an emergency. It is almost as though they want chaos. Remember Hillsborough Britain's worst sporting disaster. Lee has had no training to do with how to screen people with physical disabilities. This is the Olympics and Para-Olympics and at no point has G4S, LOCOG or Contemporary International even discussed screening people with disabilities and how not to offend and strip those individuals of their dignity. How do you screen someone in a wheel chair? Lee has had no emergency medical training. The queues are going to be massive and if someone collapses the security officers won't know what to do. They are relying again on a St John's ambulance or paramedics hopefully standing right on scene. All security should have at least a first person first aid training which takes just one day.
