Olympic games in Paris (2024)

New Olympic Motto.jpg

Given the general woke feel of the art, the change in the motto feels like the 'unity and solidarity' has been given a specific purpose.

Citius, Altius, Fortius – Communiter


On 20 July 2021, the Session of the International Olympic Committee approved a change in the Olympic motto that recognises the unifying power of sport and the importance of solidarity.

The change adds the word “together” after an en dash to “Faster, Higher, Stronger”. The new Olympic motto now reads: “Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together”.

In his remarks before the unanimously vote, IOC President Bach explained the link between the change and the original motto: “Solidarity fuels our mission to make the world a better place through sport. We can only go faster, we can only aim higher, we can only become stronger by standing together — in solidarity.”

Oh good grief. Looks like the CIA/MOSSAD have dusted off their video PR department.
As a general rule of thumb - any 'freedom fighter' that doesn't get the local and/or international populations on their side is working for the other side, directly or indirectly.

Maybe 'Hamas' will 'release a bio-weapon'?

The description of the masks, QR codes, fencing etc reminds me of airports after 9/11 - the slow (or not so slow in this case) acclimatisation to totalitarian rule, and being herded by authorities.

It would seem we need a VPN set to France to be allowed to access it.
I tried downloading it with an FTP command, but I only got 8 min before being disconnected; the host keep giving me error 3000 on the video page. Who knows what that means, but it seems it keeps disconnecting viewers. Maybe too much traffic on their server.

I was able to download it.

Video meta data, which can be telling, - never seems to get analyzed. But in every CSI TV show, the crime-busters are arrogant, over-confident tough guys and never fail to solve a mystery in a one hour show. Where are the supposed good-guy experts when it comes to these real crimes? Stupid.
 
One way or another, let us hope and pray that the good cops of the Gendarmerie outhustle those on the take and prevent any tragedy, as the world's eyes will watch the European response to any incident.

I only pay attention to it this year because the Cs said "Disease X" would "probably" be released during the Paris Olympics.

Maybe it'll be one of the sporting disciplines. Like a bunch of competitors get disease x and they all have to run to the nearest pharmacy to get a vaccine. Whoever gets there first wins. :lol:

France 24 reported that French troops have been deployed in Paris around the river Seine and that they are ready for any type of attack, they specifically mention the terror threat, but in this day and age, it's not so surprising.

And they'll wonder why attendance and viewers are so low. :rolleyes:
 
Maybe Macron thinks that by the time the Olympics end, he won't have to appoint a new PM, or at least, the conditions by then will have changed dramatically...

Macron stated that he does not intend to appoint a new prime minister or change the government at least until mid-August, when the Olympic Games conclude.

The president also reaffirmed that he does not intend to resign and will remain in office until the end of his second term.

Australian viewers mightn't get to watch. Channel 9 apparently paid $305 million for the rights to show the olympics here but today, almost all of channel 9 staff have gone on strike for at least 5 days including 20 reporters in Paris. The dispute is over wages apparently.

I know, they haven't even been able to sell all the tickets they were planning on selling.

But this year they had two major soccer tournaments, one less than a month ago, and with the economy.. people have spent their money and will likely watch this from home, if at all.

All I keep hearing about these games is how poorly prepared Paris was to receive the international delegations, no toilet paper reports in some places, no air conditioning, bikers get robbed, women get abused, the whole thing seems to be described as a sh*t show.. and all this before the opening ceremony, which I am certain will be one to remember... I am not sure why I am getting the sense that it will be like Eurovision.
