Torch Of Shame a SHAM in San Francisco



China Olympic Committee has proven it has NO BALLS, are a bunch of Political Eunuchs who have abandoned it seems the Flame of Shame World Torch Tour...in short, America does not need an ARMY to defeat China, just a hand full of dedicated protestors. The Olympic Torch has been EXTENIQUISHED, China has officially been embarrassed in front of the ENTIRE WORLD as every media source live shows the world they have no balls, are a bunch of spineless pussies afraid to bring the torch out on display here in America.




The Flame of Shame Wars in San Francisco...Let the Games Begin

As the maps the police and Flame of Shame Security forces do not really have a lot of options when it comes to the the Olympic Torch this morning. It will not take much planning (coupled with listening to police radios) for the protestors to put people where they need to be when they need to be there.

Key areas to have in your planning should probably include Divisadero Street (just in case Golden Gate Bridge stays involved), Van Ness Avenue (access to city hall and its twin fronts), the Embarkadero, Market, Bay and Broadway...brave souls would figure out a way to clog the Bay Bridge.

In short, contrary to what the police want everyone to think, their options are actually FAIRLY LIMITED, and further convoluted by serious TRAFFIC issues on the best of days during business hours. Key to success...get as many protestors on bikes as you possibly can for FAST DEPLOYMENT...also, if you know any bike messengers, they are GREAT SOURCES of intell!

My advice to the IOC...pull the plug. Having watched the Danny White riots unfold, can tell you San Francisco has the ability to GET UGLY FAST, and having been a bike messenger there, can tell you it is possible for well organized protesters to literally bottle off and TRAP the torch! FREE TIBET!

IOC and China Olympics In Lose/Lose Situation With Flame of Shame World Tour

From the lighting of the Olympic Torch, through London, on into France, and already here in America, the Flame of Shame World Tour has been a disaster for the IOC, and for the Chinese Olympics as protestors have successfully stolen the show and focused the world's news spotlight on China's horrid Human Rights Abuses, their enslavement via force of the Tibetan people.

Arriving with NO FAN FARE, the torch is hidden away in San Francisco as security attempts to figure out this morning/afternoon's Flame of Shame visit to America, attempts to keep protestors from again stopping the flame...in some ways, the Students for a Free Tibet already won with their BRILLIANT Golden Gate Bridge Event before the Flame of Shame ever touched American soil!

If I were the protesters, I'd have the bridge from Oakland/Berkley covered, have massive crowds at the Ferry from Sausilito, the ability to converge on the Golden Gate Bridge covered, and be prepared to RUSH protesters into the Pier 39 Giradeli Square areas almost instantly, and then cover the area down by the Embarkedero's, especially close to the MAJOR hotel, and look for the city to attempt the event EARLIER in the day to catch everyone SLEEPING. In the meantime, give some consideration to trapping the flame in San Francisco...if they brought the flame into San Francisco, they have to get it back over the bridge and onto the airplane don't they?

After tomorrow's event the IOC is going to make a decision on the Flame of Shame moving forward, and the beauty is, both the IOC and the Chinese Olympics are in a Lose/Lose situation. Can the rest of the world stops, the protestors and Tibet win as the IOC and China will have capitulated to the protesters...continue the world wide Flame of Shame Tour, and the protests will esculate at each and every stop, with the attempt to carry the Flame of Shame through Tibet likely to be a public relations nightmare for the IOC and China...add to this the very real chance that you can bank on the Olympics being DISTURBED NOW at every step of the event, and the IOC might be better off cancelling the Olympics in China all together.



IOC considers abandoning torch relay's international route

Published: Tuesday, April 08, 2008

The International Olympic Committee said Tuesday it is considering whether to abandon the international portion of the Beijing torch relay in the wake of violent protests in London and Paris.


An IOC official, Director General Urs Lacotte, also said the Olympic organization has been pressuring the Beijing Organizing Committee to redraw the torch relay to limit the potential for violence.


The IOC will step in, Lacotte said, the first time a torchbearer is injured or protests become unmanageable - that is the limit.


Tibet activists hang up banners on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, April 7, 2008. Three pro-Tibet activists scaled the cables of San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge and hung banners to protest the arrival of the Olympic torch.

"In London, where the torchbearer was accosted by a protester, well, that was very near the limit," he said.


On Monday torch relay organizers in Paris were forced to cut the relay short after protesters repeatedly tried to interfere along the route. Officials extinguished the torch at least three times and moved it along the route within the safety of a bus.


Now, the IOC is holding its collective breath as it awaits the Wednesday start of the San Francisco tour, an event that protesters have vowed to disrupt. On Monday protesters scaled the Golden Gate Bridge and unfurled a large pro-Tibet banner.


IOC president Jacques Rogge condemned the protests in London and Paris, which were organized by pro-Tibet supporters and human rights activists.


Rogge confirmed the executive board will review the torch relay when it meets Thursday.


Meanwhile, the Olympic torch was burning bright in San Francisco Tuesday, hidden away in what officials call a "secure" facility, out of the reach of pro-Tibet protesters and human rights advocates.


"We treated it like a head of state visit," airport spokesman Mike McCarron told the San Francisco Examiner.


The flame arrived from France before dawn Tuesday on a specially chartered Air China jet. There were no protesters nearby as it was whisked away to its hidden location, usually a hotel room guarded by Olympic staff.

Do Torch Protesters Need Stun Guns To Deal With Chinese BULLIES?

According to a British paper, the Chinese Torch protectors are THUGS, which raises the question, do protestors need to bring their own tasers and mace to protect themselves against these Chinese civil rights abusers? Maybe these thugs are used to beating Tibetans into submission in China, but their bruttish antics should not be tolerated in CIVILIZED society, and protestors might be well advised to TAKE protection with you if you are planning on protesting in San Francisco tomorrow, be prepared to meet unacceptable force with retaliatory efforts meant to protect yourself...amazing what a nice shot of mace will do to control a BRUTTISH THUG. Unlike China, Americans have the right to SELF PROTECTION.

Chinese torch guards are 'thugs' says British Olympic chief

Sebastian Coe, the chairman of the London Olympic Committee, has described the Chinese officials guarding the Olympic torch as "thugs", piling more embarrassment onto the Games' organisers.

  • Kate Hoey: Olympic ideals? It's a grotesque charade

    Lord Coe was overheard talking about the attendants, who formed part of a huge security presence around the flame, during a private telephone conversation with a member of his press team.

    The Chinese guards, more than a dozen of whom surrounded Olympic flame during its chaotic journey through London on Sunday, are officially employed to ensure the safe handover of the torch between runners and to ensure it remains lit throughout the relay.

    But the attendants, thought to have been recruited from the security services, have been criticised for allegedly using aggressive tactics against protestors demonstrating against China's human rights abuses and the occupation of Tibet.

    A Successful Protest Starts At Airport?

    So, the flame is coming to America, and other communities of World Interest, and the Ambassador to the United States from China has said a few societal misfits will not stop the flame...in short, typical Communist China PROPAGANDA as can be witnessed by the presentation of today's events in France on their own Olympic website. In the meantime, it would seem to me, that perhaps the best way to hold a successful Free Tibet protest should start at the local airports...after all, it's a bit hard to miss the Chinese Torch Team landing! Not very many planes flying around the friendly skies with this particular LOGO on them now is there? Look for the plane...wouldn't everything else unfold from there, including lodging knowledge...if you see the plane, you know when they land, where they land, what vehicles they get into, can follow them to their overnight destinations...it is not rocket science.
