OCCUPY - LONDON OLYMPICS 2012

Anonymous, Occupy London and European Anarchists in London 2012 Olympics Plot
By Nicholas Edmondson | June 21, 2012
Fears are growing among police and security agencies that the London Olympics will be targeted by an alliance of European and British anarchist groups.
Officials believe that anti-austerity protest groups will focus on disrupting the games, which will provide a major platform for any protest message.

Italian protest group, the Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI) has made a clear threat to the games. On anarchist website 325.nostate, the FAI writes: "In the United Kingdom of clockwork control and domestication, we're some of the "unpatriotic ones" who find the 2012 Olympics, with the ensuing spectacle of wealth, frankly offensive.
"We have no inhibition to use guerrilla activity to hurt the national image and paralyse the economy, howeve we can. Because, simply, we don't want rich tourists, we want civil war."
The Anonymous hacking group has also signalled plans to disrupt the games, suggesting a large scale peaceful protest to show that "we will not be dictated to" and that "these streets are our streets".

Royal United Services research analyst Valentina Soria told the Guardian that the situation could "turn nasty" as certain anarchist groups will look to provoke a violent response from the police.
She said: "We have seen the anarchists in Italy supporting the Greek anarchists more recently and they may join anarchists already in the UK for some king of disruption of the Olympics."

The police have been granted additional powers to combat protests during the games, with clauses in the London Olympic Games and Games act 2006 seemingly giving officers the ability to seize placards and political posters and even enter private homes to seize protest materials.
