"(P)anic rooms have been installed beneath the stadium as havens for VIPs and spectators in the event of an attack."

After Iran was falsely blamed for Mossad's latest Bulgaria false flag, London bells and whistles sounded the alarm about Tehran allegedly dispatching terrorists to attack the Games. Might as well claim Martians are coming.

Israel sent Shin Bet and Mossad agents to protect its 38-member delegation. The Times said they're "hunting a group of white Europeans who are thought to have converted to Islam and (are) working with the Iranian Quds force and Hezbollah, the terrorist group backed by Tehran."

Haaretz covered the story. It called "the connection between Iranian terror and the Olympic Games tenuous at best." It's "highly improbable that Iran" or elements connected to its government plan anything like what's hyped.

Haaretz added that Tehran has its own athletes competing. It won't "do anything to harm or distract them from (bringing) glory (to) the Islamic Republic."

Omitted was any connection between Tehran and terrorism. Accusations made are baseless. Without clear corroborating proof, charge by charge, they lack credibility.

Weeks earlier, the Sunday Times claimed Al Qaeda was believed to be planning an Olympics attack. Quoting unnamed intelligence sources, a recruited Norwegian Muslim allegedly intended "to hijack a US passenger plane and crash it on a suicide mission."

As in other hyped threats and false flags, no evidence whatever gets cited. Nothing links named suspects to Western and/or Israeli targets. Charges made are baseless. Fear is falsely generated. 

At issue is waging war to dominate the entire Mediterranean Basin and more from North Africa through the Middle East into Central Asia to Russia and China's borders.
