Our beloved Queen Elizabeth, the queen of our hearts, declared the London Olympics officially open. Greek Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II of England, and his nephew,
King Constantine of Greece, are big fans of Olympics. Constantine is also an
honorary director of Olympics and an Olympic winner with a gold medal. Philip
doesn't like Greece, because they put his father Prince Andrew on trial, and he
might have been executed. In 1922, they all had to flee. Prince Philip was a
baby at the time and rarely returned. Moreover, Greeks have been ungrateful to
Britons who helped them in myriad occasions. That's why the Queen, who travels
to all corners of Earth, refuses to make the relatively short hop over to the
birthplace of her husband. http://venitism.blogspot.com
We are all Anglos now, and we all have adopted the culture of Anglosphere. The language we speak influences not only our thoughts, but our implicit preferences as well. Bilingual individuals' opinions of different ethnic groups are affected by the language in which they take a test probing their biases and predilections. Charlemagne said that to speak another language is to possess another soul. Language is much more than a medium for expressing thoughts and feelings. Language creates and shapes our thoughts and feelings as well.

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and Glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
Oh, save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!
Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over.
From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Freedom's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
The Olympics show featured British celebrities and sportspeople, including David Beckham and Bradley Wiggins, and screen characters Mr Bean and James Bond.
Flag-bearer Sir Chris Hoy earlier led out Team GB to cheers and applause.
A group of seven, chosen by British Olympic champions, each lit a single tiny flame on the ground, igniting 205 petals, one for each competing nation or territory. Long stems then rose towards each other to form a cauldron, signifying unity.
The field at the stadium in Stratford, east London, was turned into a green meadow, with sheep, horses, chickens, ducks and geese, among the cast.
The show took the watching world through great revolutions in British society, from an agricultural setting through to the Industrial Revolution itself.
Great Britain is now Little Britain, a slave state yoked to Brussels. Its fall was inevitable, but the economic crisis will shrink the last pretenses of empire faster than anyone expected. Suddenly, the sun that once never set on the British Empire is casting long shadows over what's left of Britain's imperial past.
This is a watershed moment for Uncle Ken (UK). The country's public debt is soaring. The great engine room of British prosperity, the financial sector, now feels like an anchor. The glory days of London are now grinding to a halt. The main symbol of Britain's global might, London found financing for some of the earliest and most prominent multinational companies, and has had greater influence on global finance than Westminster has had on geopolitics.
We all know what happens at Olympics, an international competition of steroids,
not athletes. People feel well during the games, but feel miserable after the
games when they find out Olympics cost them ten times more than projected, and
most of it went to bribe kleptocrats!
Athletic competitions are not really competitions of athletes, but of
pharmaceutical companies and bribes! Every year new untraceable dopes show up
that bring gold medals. The current antidoping code includes the whereabouts
system, requiring athletes to select one hour every day to be available for
no-notice drug tests. But these tests cannot find out the brand new drugs. Many
governments subsidize these million-euro drugs as food supplements of their
athletes! http://venitism.blogspot.com
Scientists cannot detect the banned practice of blood doping. It involves athletes storing and transfusing their own blood, or the blood of others, before competition, to increase the number of red blood cells in the body. By manipulating their oxygen-carrying capacity, cheats can increase their stamina and speed.
More than ten thousand East German athletes were doped in a program that ran for
decades up until 1989 with approval from the highest levels of the East German
government. Many were given the pills as minors. Three million tablets of
performance enhancing drugs, mostly anabolic steroids, were given out each year
to athletes. Many later developed cancer, ovarian cysts, liver damage, heart
disease, infertility and other ailments. Some had children with health problems,
such as blindness or club feet.
East German coaches, trainers and parents would watch as their young daughters
suddenly exhibited unusual amounts of body hair, bulked up rapidly, and
developed deep voices. There was a joke running around that when women Olympic
swimmers would go into the changing room and see East German girls there, they'd
say, oh my God, we must be in the men's locker room!

Despite the near cartoonish appearance of some of their athletes, the doping
program delivered results. From 1972 to 1988, East Germany of 17 million people
won 384 Olympic medals, not including the 1984 Los Angeles Games, which they
boycotted. They always placed well ahead of the much larger West Germany.
Paralympics are a joke! Cheating is becoming an increasing problem in sports events for athletes with disabilities. Rigorous inspections are supposed to root out those who are only faking a handicap, but many imposters get through, like the supposedly blind athlete who cheered when she saw her result on the board. There are plenty of dissemblers among the participants, people who, in medical inspections, deliberately paint their state of health in more dramatic terms than it is, thereby competing under false pretenses in events that are becoming increasingly popular and also provide the opportunity to make a lot of money.
London is a top target of Islamist terrorists. In contrast, Islamist terrorists did not bother to try anything in the Athens Olympics, because they like Greeks. Piggish Graecokleptocrats ordered a security system for their Olympics, just to generate bribes. The security system was not delivered on time for the Athens Olympics, but Graecokleptocrats kept the nondelivery secret, because they knew nothing would happen!
UK has resolutely refused to adopt the euro and has stuck to the pound. The eurozone crisis does not bring harmjoy among the many euro critics. Britons do not gloat, because their prosperity greatly depends on the prosperity of eurozone.
The European Union Act of UK, which came into force in July 2011, states that any proposed future EU treaty or amendment to existing treaties and ratchet clauses that transfer competences or power from UK to the EU would require a referendum. An act of UK parliament is required before any EU law can take effect in Britain. Limited treaty changes which do not transfer powers from London to Brussels must still be approved by an act of parliament before UK can agree to them.
The decision by Cameron to block a Fourth Reich treaty change by using his country's veto power sparked a festive atmosphere among libertarian Europeans. Cameron has applied the very veto that former Prime Minister John Major should have used against the Maastricht Treaty, which created euro. We should just be grateful.
I congratulate Cameron on an undeniably brave decision. There is an exciting sense that we are at the beginning of a very profound change in which our tortured relationship with Fourth Reich will be redefined, at long last. UK has been a downtrodden wife stuck in a bad marriage, constantly threatening to go but never having the nerve. Now she is finally revolting, and it is bound to start a domino chain of secessions.
Ever since Margaret Thatcher famously demanded "I want my money back," Britain has had to contribute less to the EU than the size of its economy would otherwise require. Napoleon Sarko was very rude to Britons, telling Cameron "you missed a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut. We are sick of you criticizing us and telling us what to do. You say you hate the euro and now you want to interfere in our meetings." Some times Sarko avoided an extended hand of Cameron to greet him! http://venitism.blogspot.com
