Surface-To-Air Missiles At London Olympics

First time accepted submitter TheGift73 writes "I have to admit, when I first read about this I thought it was a hoax, but unfortunately it's true. The UK government is considering placing surface-to-air missiles on residential buildings in London for the duration of the London Olympics. From the article: 'The Ministry of Defence is considering placing surface-to-air missiles on residential flats during the Olympics. An east London estate, where 700 people live, has received leaflets saying a "Higher Velocity Missile system" could be placed on a water tower. A spokesman said the MoD had not yet decided whether to deploy ground based air defence systems during the event.'"

    London is the very last place I would want to be this summer. False flag terror attacks are used by every government to create an external threat that justifies consolidation of police state powers, especially democracies. The USA has had our false flag attacks, beginning with the USS Maine in Havana Harbor through to 9/11. The British have been somewhat less prolific in their false flag terror attacks, but they are trending toward more as the drumbeats for war with Iran beat louder, just like their 5/11 (?) metro transit attack.

    One thing about SA missiles in London -- there's always a chance for an errant missile to strike the City of London (where the real global terrorists are located) rather than kill some videographer with more ambition than common sense in a plane over the Olympics.

    The way things are going now in the USA, I'm not certain the USA's Big Brother nanny state would let me leave the USA, or once gone let me return, or while gone strip me of my citizenship and put me on a drone "hit list". The German Nazis lost World War 2, but found a new home for their best National Socialists (fascists) thanks to Operation Paperclip right here in the USA.
