<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Why We Resist</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
the 2010 Winter Olympics<br>
The Olympics are not about the human spirit & have little to do with
athletic excellence; they are a multi-billion dollar industry backed by
powerful elites, real estate, construction, hotel, tourism and television
corporations, working hand in hand with their partners in crime: government
officials & members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).<br>
<b>10 Reasons to Resist 2010</b><br>
<b>1. Colonialism & Fascism</b><br>
The modern Olympics have a long history of racism, from its early founding
members (i.e., Pierre de Coubertin, a French Baron who advocated sports as a
means of strengthening colonialism) to recent IOC presidents. The 1936 Berlin
Olympics empowered Hitler’s Nazi regime. Both the 1988 Seoul and 2008 Beijing
Summer Games helped legitimize authoritarian regimes in Asia. The 1968 Mexico
City Olympics (where over 300 student protesters were massacred by soldiers,
days before the Olympics began) also helped legitimize state terror. IOC
President Avery Brundage, an infamous US racist and Nazi sympathizer, didn’t
even acknowledge the massacre. But when two Black US athletes raised their
fists in a Black power salute on the medal podium, he had them immediately
stripped of their medals and ejected from the Games! Another well-known fascist
IOC president was Juan Antonio Samaranch (IOC president from 1980-2001), a
former government official in Franco’s fascist regime in Spain.<br>
<b>2. No Olympics on Stolen Land</b><br>
BC remains largely unceded and non-surrendered Indigenous territories.
According to Canadian law, BC has neither the legal nor moral right to exist,
let alone claim land and govern over Native peoples. Despite this, and a
fraudulent treaty process now underway, the government continues to sell, lease
and ‘develop’ Native land for the benefit of corporations, including mining,
logging, oil & gas, and ski resorts. Meanwhile, Indigenous peoples suffer
the highest rates of poverty, unemployment, imprisonment, police violence,
disease, suicides, etc.<br>
<b>3. Ecological Destruction</b><br>
Despite claims to be the “greenest Olympics” ever, and PR statements about
‘sustainability’, the 2010 Olympics will be among the most environmentally
destructive in history, with tens of thousands of trees cut down &
mountainsides blasted for Olympic venues in the Callaghan Valley (near Whistler)
& the Sea-to-Sky Highway expansion. In the summer of 2007, a record number
of black bears were hit on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with at least 11 dying
(attributed to loss of habitat). Massive amounts of concrete used in
construction have also caused millions of Salmon to die in the Fraser River,
where tons of gravel are being mined to make concrete.<br>
<b>4. Homelessness</b><br>
Since winning the 2010 Winter Games in 2003, Vancouver has lost over 850 units
of low-income housing; during the same period, homelessness has increased from
1,000 to over 2,500. It is estimated by 2010, the number of homeless may be as
high as 6,000. Since the 1980s, Olympic Games have caused the displacement of
over 2 million people (Fair Play for Housing Rights report, 2007). In Seoul 1988,
some 750,000 poor were displaced, in Atlanta 1996, over 30,000, and for Beijing
in 2008, an estimated 1.5 million have been displaced. Yet still today Olympic
officials talk about ‘sustainability’ and ‘Olympic legacies’!<br>
<b>5. Criminalization of the Poor</b><br>
To ‘clean out’ the poor and undesirables, Olympic host cities routinely begin a
campaign to criminalize the poor. In Vancouver, the city has launched Project
Civil City and new by-laws to criminalize begging for money, sleeping outdoors,
etc. It has also included hundreds of thousands of dollars for increased
private security (i.e., the Downtown Ambassadors). New garbage canisters on
streets make it more difficult for the poor to gather recyclables, and new
benches make it impossible to lay down. These measures fit with government
plans to remove poor downtown residents to mental institutions, “detox centers”
on former military bases, and the ‘fly-back’ scheme by police to return persons
wanted on warrants in other provinces. This is nothing less than a process of
social cleansing!<br>
<b>6. Impact on Women</b><br>
Events such as the Olympics draw hundreds of thousands of spectators and cause
large increases in prostitution and trafficking of women. In Vancouver, over 68
women are missing and/or murdered. Many were Native, and many were reportedly
involved in the sex trade. In 2007, the trial of William Pickton occurred for
six of these murders, and he is to be tried for an additional 20 more. In
northern BC, over 30 young women, mostly Native, are missing and/or murdered
along Highway 16. The 2010 Olympics and its invasion of tourists and
corporations will only increase this violence against women.<br>
<b>7. 2010 Police State</b><br>
Some 12,500 police, military and security personnel are to be deployed for
2010, including Emergency Response Teams, riot cops, helicopters, armoured
vehicles, etc. The RCMP plan on erecting 40 km of crowd-control fencing along
with CCTV video surveillance cameras. Special security zones will be
established to control entry near Olympic venues. For 3 weeks, Vancouver will
be an occupied Police State! And once the Olympics are over, there is no
guarantee many of these security measures will not remain (i.e., CCTV).<br>
Repression also involves attacks on anti-Olympic groups & individuals,
including arrests of protesters, raids of offices, surveillance, media smear
campaigns, cuts to funding programs, etc., all in an effort to undermine
anti-2010 resistance. This repression has already been used against
anti-poverty & housing groups, environmentalists and Natives, in Vancouver.<br>
<b>8. Public Debt</b><br>
VANOC and government officials claim the 2010 Games will cost some $2 billion.
However, this amount doesn’t include the Sea-to-Sky Highway expansion, the
Canada Line Skytrain to the airport, the Vancouver Convention Center, or the
lower mainland Gateway Project. Including these costs, since they were
necessary to win the bid and had to be completed by 2010, makes the true cost
of the Games some $6 billion, which must be paid for through public debt, money
that could’ve been spent on social services, housing, drug treatment,
healthcare, etc.<br>
<b>9. Olympic Corruption</b><br>
The modern Olympics are well known for their corruption, including both top IOC
officials involved in bribery scandals (i.e. Salt Lake City 2002) or athletes
found to be using performance-enhancing drugs (such as steroids). Yet the IOC
still claims the youth need an inspiration and a “model” of good sportsmanship!
Despite published reports of bribery scandals involving IOC members and host
cities (i.e., The New Lords of the Rings, by Andrew Jennings), the Olympics
continue to be seen as an honorable & noble enterprise, thanks to the
corporate media.<br>
<b>10. Corporate Invasion</b><br>
Government’s and business use the Olympics as a means to attract corporate
investment. In BC, the Liberal government has ‘streamlined’ application
processes, cut taxes, and offered other incentives to increase certain
industries such as mining, oil & gas drilling, and ski resorts. This
includes large increases in transport systems, including new ports, bridges, expanded
highways & rail-lines. This is all part of their Investment to 2010
Strategy. The results have been dramatic, record-breaking increases in these
industries, resulting in greater environmental destruction and more corporate
power & influence over our daily lives.<br>
Many of the main corporate sponsors of the Olympics are themselves responsible
for massive ecological destruction and human rights violations, including
McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Petro-Canada, TransCanada, Dow, Teck Cominco, etc., while
others are major arms manufacturers (General Electric & General Motors).<br>
