ATLANTA 1996: THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
The 1968 Olympics were held in Mexico City. At that time, the
|
|
Mexican people had risen from their slumber and were marching in
|
|
the tens of thousands, demanding economic justice from the
|
|
Mexican government. But the Mexican government was extremely
|
|
uptight about the Olympics that year: Mexico was to be in the
|
|
world's spotlight and the Mexican elite desired above all else to
|
|
impress the neighbors. The last thing wanted was that Mexican
|
|
workers and taxpayers should embarrass their rulers in front of
|
|
the world press, a world press that could not be censored by the
|
|
corrupt Mexican government.
|
|
|
|
There was a conjunction of thousands of politically awakened
|
|
Mexicans, a world press over which the Mexican government lacked
|
|
control, and a Mexican elite class which dreaded embarrassment
|
|
before the eyes of the world.
|
|
|
|
Taking advantage of the situation, Mexican activists began to
|
|
demonstrate -- and were brutally and secretly murdered by a
|
|
Mexican military unleashed on them by their social-climbing
|
|
rulers who would stop at nothing to avoid loss of face amongst
|
|
the other soul-less world *Aristos*. This event is known as the
|
|
Tlatelolco Square massacre.
|
|
|
|
Tragically, things worsened at Munich in 1972, and major security
|
|
has been needed at subsequent Olympics.
|
|
|
|
The 1936 Berlin Olympics served as Adolph Hitler's big showcase
|
|
to the world of his Nazi Germany. (Interested readers are
|
|
referred to Thomas Wolfe's *You Can't Go Home Again* for a great
|
|
artist's portrait of the event. Think the Nazis were a great,
|
|
misunderstood bunch of guys? Think again. Read Wolfe for the
|
|
real picture.)
|
|
|
|
The 1996 Atlanta Olympics serve as imperialist America's showcase
|
|
to the world. To the world: never mind the increasing gap
|
|
between rich and poor and consequent rising subjugation of the
|
|
burgeoning American underclass -- we're going to sell you a
|
|
dream. We're going to sell to you (or really sell to ourselves)
|
|
the American mythology of "free enterprise" and "the glories of
|
|
monopoly Capitalism." And nobody, and we mean *nobody*, better
|
|
mess with our elitist dysfunctional view of how it is in America.
|
|
|
|
Yes, there will be a massive but discrete security presence. But
|
|
do not for one moment think it is there to scare away potential
|
|
demonstrators who realize that "Hey, the *world* press will give
|
|
us a fair shake. They won't ignore us like the American press
|
|
always does." Oh no. The massive security presence is *not*
|
|
there to prevent potential embarrassment of the American ruling
|
|
class in front of the whole world. The massive security presence
|
|
is just there for "safety's sake."
