Olympics Has Fallen...

[chieftain]

Apparently there's a pisstake of "Olympus Has Fallen" that the media are pinning on the Russians as part of a cyber attack on the Paris games in a months time.

Does anyone with a Twitter or Insta account know if the video is on those platforms?

I'm on Twitter/X a bit and have not seen anyone post or mention such a thing. pmbug.com can embed media from many sources though, so if you find it on some video site (like vimeo, dailymotion, tumblr, rumble, etc.) it will likely embed just fine here.

Did a quick search, haven't come up with a vid yet but did come up with a few other things. If I come across the vid, I'll post it here.

I can't find it for love nor money, it's as though the media were told such a video exists but that's it.

"Trust us, they made it, and it's bad and has these things you'll need to parrot later".

I don't keep track, but is the Olympic games in Paris this time? What the hell?! When I visited Paris in 1982, it was FULL.

The Metro worked and the train stations were fine. I was unlucky to miss the last train, and spent a night in a construction shed. My companion was a bum and shooed out other infiltrators. A nearby pizza place made pizza with searing hot oil that burned my mouth, and it was otherwise "not great".

I left Paris to Lyon (via gar de lyon) and never looked back. FWIW I went to the Metro sales ticket line and asked if anyone wanted tickets. One said yes and I walked up to them and handed them my tickets and walked away. The others in like seemed shocked that some random person would give another random person some tickets of value. To me it was natural to give, but I guess there are a lot of SHITTY people that cannot comprehend giving and receiving.

How Russia is trying to disrupt the 2024 Paris Olympic Games

I'm gonna call BS on this. Russia could care less about the west's political ploy called The Olympics. They have their own sports games.

Competition is a good thing...

The 2024 BRICS Games, also known as the 2024 BRICS Sports Games, is an international multi-sport competition running from 12 to 23 June 2024 in Kazan, Russia, ...

west's political ploy

Olympics have been around for a long time, BRICS Games not so long. That aside, I think we should have invited Russia to join NATO back in 1989 when Gorbachev was in, and the Berlin Wall came down. I don't know how it would have gone but "no balls - no blue chips."

Some interesting reading:

Russia Once Tried to Join NATO, an Alliance Formed to Counter Threats from Russia

In the wake of the Second World War, 12 countries from Europe and North America banded together to form an alliance that would keep the hard-won peace in Europe, promote cooperation between them and protect their freedoms.

Great idea for Russia to join NATO, but it would need renaming because it was designed to counter Russia.
