I feel the same way, Loco. It was very disturbing. I stuck with it to the end but I was appalled at the evil (yes, Satanic) violence aimed at young children and teenagers -- most of them black. LindyBill correctly said it was part of the ongoing decimation of western civilization. And NBC censored a whole segment that honored victims of terrorist attacks: Here’s The Opening Ceremony Tribute To Terrorism Victims NBC Doesn’t Want You To See The major transitional element of today's London Olympics opening ceremony was a downtempo performance of adoptive sporting anthem "Abide With Me" by Scottish singer Emeli Sandé. The song and accompanying dance were a tribute to the victims of the 7/7 terror attacks in London that claimed 52 victims days after the 2012 Summer Olympic hosts were named. (It's also been suggested the performance was a memorial to the war dead.) Regardless, it was a rather significant and emotional moment in the opening ceremony, coming just before the parade of nations—and it wasn't aired in the United States. Instead, viewers were treated to a lengthy and meaningless Ryan Seacrest interview of Michael Phelps. NBC regularly excises small portions of the opening ceremony to make room for commercials, but we've never heard of them censoring out an entire performance—especially to air an inane interview. We've asked NBC why they didn't air the tribute, and if they get back to us we'll let you know what they say. In the meantime, enjoy the performance everyone else in the world saw. [BBC] Update (12:25 a.m.): Some readers have commented the official media guide to the opening ceremony makes no reference to 7/7. The sheer number of news stories that cite the performance as a tribute to its victims (as well as the performance itself) gives us pretty good confidence that the memorial was its theme. Here's the prepared BBC remarks as aired: Ladies and gentlemen, please pause silent for our memorial wall for friends and family who can't be here tonight. The excitement of that moment in Singapore seven years ago when England won the games was tempered the next day with sorrow from the events of July 7th that year. A wall of remembrance for those no longer here to share in this event. Metro reporter Cassandra Garrison told me the segment's choreographer Akram Khan did not mention 7/7 in his press conference on the performance, explaining it instead to be about "mortality."

Loco, here is more censorship that LindyBill posted about on his thread. He wrote: Message 28299066 "This is a picture of the Lindy Hop sequence. These were dancing actors, not Doctors and Nurses. The IOC has refused to let this sequence run on youtube."

Loco "After 2 hours, I left the TV, and refused to watch anymore, especially after the NIH propaganda for health care." The announcer said that the Brits were so proud of their health care system they were paying tribute to it. Well that got me to thinking. I wonder where the royal family goes for their healthcare? Imagine my surprise when I learned that he goes to the same provider that I do the Cleveland clinic. He is noted a patient in this link. These liberal elites are so predictably. en.wikipedia.org
