Goldman Sachs, the Jewish investment bank that dominates the financial industry, has woven its tentacles round the London 2012 Olympics.
If you look at the "The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG)"
The Board Members and their roles and connections to the giant Investment Banking Business are there to see.

I would suggest that the political power offered by and available to the directors who have Goldman Sachs connections should be ringing some
alarms.
There is hightened awareness of a presumed threat of a terrorist attack at the games and the Israeli government are themselves quoting this in press
statements (Iran). Is it too much to wonder why then, there is an undercurrent of Israeli dominance in the committee who have planned the Olympics?
I cant find any financial offers or sponsorship offered to the Olympic Committee under the heading of "Goldman Sachs", and I dont personally believe
that those who are on the committee and hold powerful positions just happened to be available and applied for the positions....Your thoughts are
welcome.
