How many times I did not run to and fro Tooting Bec tube station and Wandsworth, were I got to live after my nice but to expensive days in Chiswick, where the milkman thought he could charge those who were living in the area of the artists as much as he would like, because they had no time to notice it. I had to play my games on a totally different field.

Former England footballer and animal lover Michael Owen carried the Olympic Flame at the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. Tennis ace and British number one Andy Murray carried the Flame on to Centre Court at the Wimbledon All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to be taken over by US star Venus Williams.
Other Torchbearers included Doreen Lawrence, 59, who founded the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, an education charity committed to helping disadvantaged young people, in memory of her son Stephen, and internationally acclaimed actor Sir Patrick Stewart, known for his stage work and leading contemporary film roles.
The evening celebration took place on Tooting Bec Common, where the final Torchbearer of the day Tim Henman lighted the cauldron. Entertainment was provided by band Rizzle Kicks, and featured a street performance from dance act Twist and Pulse.
We are coming closer to the opening day of the games which should promote solidarity, sportiveness, togetherness, brotherhood, and international peacefulness. But those games of peace have often been the target of terrorists and people who are not so much interested in a united world.
It is already 40 years ago the world got chocked with the Munich massacre, when Palestinian gunmen killed 11 Israeli athletes during the 1972 Games. Complaining that the Olympic movement is still ignoring their pain, Israelis marked the 40th anniversary of the Munich massacre on Sunday with a modest service in the atrium of a London apartment block. Prayers were read for the 11 murdered Israelis, wreaths were laid for them and a plaque unveiled about four miles (six kilometers) from the Olympic Stadium.

However, there will be no minute of silence for them at Friday’s opening ceremony.
“The International Olympic Committee have a moral commitment to commemorate the 11 athletes, coaches and referees,” Israeli Olympic Committee secretary general Efraim Zinger said. “Not because they were Israelis, but because they were Olympians and were murdered during the Olympic Games.
But the Belgian Jacques Rogge as IOC President reiterated Saturday that the opening ceremony was not an appropriate arena to remember the dead despite pressure from politicians in the United States, Israel and Germany.

Ankie Spitzer, whose husband Andre was one of the athletes massacred in the Munich Games n 1972, told the European Jewish Press that Jacques Rogge, president of the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, told her that his “hands were tied” by the admission of 46 Arab and Muslim members to the International Olympic Committee. She replied, “My husband’s hands were tied, not yours.”
Not only the death of many Israeli sporters would be in the mind of the People of Israel on the Opening night.
Sundown Friday 27th July marks also the date when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and by the by the Romans in 70 CE. On the Hebrew calendar it is the 9th Av. Not only for Jews is that an important occasions. Christians also should remember the writings in the Holy Scriptures where it is written we shall not only to face the fall of Jerusalem, than a diminishing of the People of God (Holocaust), then the rise of Israel again (1948) , followed by the beginning of the war in the Two Streams Land (Euprhrate and Tigris; Iran and Iraq) and then would begin the signs of the end times (more earthquakes, religions getting against each other, children going against their parents, a foul way of life.) We all should be aware of the spoken of third and final destruction coming.
Some people wonder if the third and last destruction could come on the same date as the previous two? We don’t know. But we do know a third destruction is coming and it will see the return of the rightful King of Jerusalem – Jesus Christ… So for believers it is a point to look out for, and to be prepared for because the third world-war, according the Holy Scriptures would be a terrible one.
Part of the mentioned End Times signs would be the position the world would love to take to symbols, heathen signs, entertainment and a way of life without boundaries.
We can only hope that the Olympics, which run until Aug. 12, shall only be remembered for sporting endeavours and that athletes of all faiths would be able to “unite in a city that unites the world.”
But many signs can’t go unnoticed.
According to the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth on Wednesday the Olympic committee in charge of the London event has formed a special team, consisting of politicians, diplomats, security officials and organizing committee personnel, to prepare for the contingency. The security team is taking care everything can go smoothly and when something terrible happens that can be reacted swiftly and appropriate.
They are preparing themselves for terrorist attacks but also for the possibility of an earthquake and strangely enough also for a volcanic eruption (?!?).
Heaving in their head the previous Olympic games and the Russian action taking then, when all eyes were deviated to the games, by the Russians beginning the 2008 South Ossetia war, as Georgia and Russia launched a major offensive inside the separatist region of South Ossetia after days of border skirmishes between the two sides.
England is thought to be within the range of Iranian missiles and UK officials believe that a military confrontation between Jerusalem and Tehran could involve the country against its will.

“2012″ – “ZION”
There is a lot of tumult going on in the Middle East and some there do find the scrambled, jagged figures within the logo don’t form ’2012′, but rather the word ‘Zion’, which can give a wrong signal to the world. The “2′s” look like “Z’s”, and if you reassemble the numbers and the dot, the word “Zion” can easily be arranged. What does Zion mean? Critics of Zionism consider it a colonialist, racist, and anti-Semitic movement.
The Christian world, and other people should recognise several symbols which are used, and not always for no reason, just the opposite I would think.
The internet is one of those places were you shall be able to find a lot of discussions about potential ”illuminati symbolism” plastered throughout London. Free Masonry and elite’s favorite symbols as the All seeing eye, Torch, Pyramid & Obelisk symbolism.
Many also believe that the Illuminati are behind a lot of global events, such as the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and other tragedies.
The 2012 London Olympic games are certainly a prime target for a terrorist attack. There will be millions of athletes and fans from all different countries, all gathered into one central location to compete. Security has been on high alert all throughout the preliminary stages, and will continue to be a concern as the games commence. A 50,000-plus security force that includes police, the army and private contractors as 7000 security guards of G4S, one of the world’s largest private security firms, plus all personnel working on the sites, but also on premisses in the whole area of London shall be alert.
On July 12, the British ministry of defence announced that an additional 3,500 troops would need to step in and help guard Olympic venues, bringing the total number of armed forces staff for the games to 17,000, compared with the 9,500 troops Britain has in Afghanistan.

The security arsenal also includes RAF Typhoon combat jets, surface-to-air missiles on rooftops and an aircraft carrier on the River Thames.
A serious security alert has already hit the Olympic Park, with reports of a terror suspect repeatedly visiting the venue between April and May, in breach of a ban imposed by the Home Secretary, The Telegraph revealed on July 7.

Soldiers are now operating the X-ray scanners and metal detectors at the International Media Centre and men and women in fatigues are everywhere around the Games site.
Add to this the 5000-volt electrified fence (17.5 kilometres) that surrounds the Olympic Park, the ever-growing reach of the closed-circuit TV cameras that constantly watch over Britain’s capital, and the plans to put as many as six surface-to-air missile batteries atop downtown buildings, and it is hard not to think of London right now as a city under siege.
“We have got the numbers, courtesy of the military and our police services. We have got the numbers to make sure that this is a safe and secure games.” said Sebastian Coe, the head of the London Olympic organizing committee.
The London Olympic Committee describes the Games as akin to staging nearly 50 world championship sporting events at the same time.
Organizers are trying to accommodate nearly 15,000 athletes and 21,000 journalists while coordinating an army of 6,000 staff and 70,000 volunteers.
On top of this, the British government has put a special team of diplomats and protocol experts in place in case heads of state, such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin, decide to show up at the last minute; or in the event there is a need for secret, high-level negotiations among some of those in attendance.
The public is already worried, as many people have already noticed some glaring Illuminati symbolism all over London.
But the excitement is building around the world as London prepares for the Friday, July 27, 2012, opening ceremony and a packed two weeks of sports competition.
Organisers of the Olympics hit back on Sunday at cynics after weeks of negative headlines, saying criticism over planning mistakes and costs were being outweighed by a surge in public excitement as the gala opening ceremony nears.
Britain’s famously caustic media, which have highlighted security and transport problems before the July 27-Aug. 12 Games, also seemed to adopt a more positive stance as thousands turned out to cheer the Olympic torch relay through London.
“I think possibly what we’re going through as a nation, as a city is that necessary, pre-curtain-up moment of psychological self-depression before the excitement begins on Friday when the curtain goes up,” London Mayor Boris Johnson told the BBC.
The real security test comes during the next three weeks. Will any bombs go off? Will all athletes and spectators be safe? Will protests cause major disruptions? Was London, a high-profile target for terrorism, a bad choice for this globally-watched series of sporting events?
For one Olympic team, security problems began before they had even left home, with the president of Libya’s Olympic Committee Nabil Elalem taken from his car by gunmen in Tripoli last week, before being freed on Sunday.
A colleague said he may still make it to the Games.
Pope Benedict, speaking during his regular Sunday address, said he hoped the London Games – the first in the British capital since 1948 – would foster world peace.
“I pray that, in the spirit of the Olympic truce, the goodwill generated by this international sporting event may bear fruit, promoting peace and reconciliation throughout the world.”
That is also something we can hope and pray for.
Media and people shall have lots to speak about.
Enjoy the games from wherever you may follow them.

- Olympics’ most wanted: Terror police fear suspect hunted after Bulgarian bus bomb could be on his way to London 2012
A terrorist believed to have been involved in a horrific suicide bomb attack in Bulgaria last week has emerged as one of the biggest security threats to the Olympics.
The man is thought to be carrying a U.S. passport under the name of David Jefferson and fled following the attack which killed six people last Wednesday in the resort of Burgas.
He has emerged as a top target for Israeli security agents who fear their athletes will be attacked by an Iranian terror squad operating in Europe.
- If you are coming to a London 2012 sports event or ceremony, please bring as little as possible with you. You’ll need to go through security checks when you arrive at a venue, and the more you bring, the longer it will take you to go through security.
There are strict rules on what can be brought into venues. In most cases you can bring one medium-sized soft-sided bag into venues – this should fit under your seat or in your lap. If you’re attending a Football event, we strongly suggest you do not bring a bag – if you do, your entry will be delayed and you may miss your event.
Be aware that it is a criminal offence to carry weapons such as knives and guns in the UK. Unlike some other European countries it is also illegal to carry CS spray.

The request, in support of a campaign by two widows of victims of the Munich attack, was sent last month by the Israeli deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon. A minute’s silence, he wrote, would “send a clear message that we must not forget the terrible events of Munich 40 years ago so they will not be repeated”.The IOC’s response was “a polite but very clear rejection”, said Yigal Palmor, a spokesman for the Israeli foreign ministry.

On September 6, 1972, at eight in the morning, Ankie Spitzer stood at the foot of the stairs and watched the trickling current of blood. The man by her side put a hand out and said, ‘Don’t go up there.’ But Spitzer, the Dutch-born wife of Israel’s Olympic fencing coach, who had given birth to their first daughter only three weeks earlier, wanted to see where her husband Andrei had spent his last hours on earth.She walked up the stairs, alone, and looked into the dormitory room in the Olympic Village. This was where the athletes had been held. This was where Yossef Romano, an Israeli weightlifter, had been executed, his body brutalized as a warning.
