NOlympics LA

The LA Olympics & World Cup give full legal cover for ICE and DHS to not only do what they're doing now, but to escalate indefinitely + form new modes of coordination. This is the organizational chart from the LA28 bid book. This is the stated plan: knock-la.com/los-angeles-ol…

"The NSSE designation grants the federal government —and by extension, agencies like the FBI, SS, DHS, and ICE — unprecedented power in LA. Historically, such events have been used to justify sweeping surveillance measures, mass policing, and heavy-handed crackdowns on dissent."

"...the greatest concerns for these legislators were about how to get more people to come to LA — not necessarily about protecting the people who already live here from the U.S. government." 🎯🎯🎯 torched.la/the-elephant-i…

"How can LA's state reps simultaneously paint themselves as the nationwide face of the resistance for the next 3 years + be unable to have a frank discussion with LA28 about how they plan to deliver these megaevents when many Angelenos are too terrified to leave their own homes?"

now would be the perfect time for la to cancel the 2028 olympics

Unlike LA28, our analysis has been upfront and consistent for the last 8+ years: There's no way to negotiate one's way out of this harm. The lack of democracy is so baked into the process that it is the process. There's no way to override. Cancellation is the only option.

Anyone who claims that the Olympics are "good for the athletes" hasn't been paying attention. nytimes.com/2018/02/28/spo…

The Super Bowl, like the Olympics and World Cup, is an NSSE. That means DHS runs shit, the quiet part loud as hell, for as long as they want. The longest NSSE in US history began last year in LA and lasts through the 2028 Olympics. We don't want this. nolympicsla.com/nsse

Any responsible and sensible politician would have cancelled the Olympics by now. Instead, @KarenBassLA + @CAgovernor declared it an NSSE event FOUR YEARS ahead of time inviting ICE, FBI, NSA and other federal cops to surveil LA thelatinonewsletter.org/p/olympics-bet…

Imagine volunteering to make sure the IOC and their corporate sponsors stay much, much richer than you.
