So?....What are you trying to day.

So he has his flaws, but it's very apparent what is shown here.
I see hospital beds that signify the UK health care system (which are being donated to Tunisia) and a giant Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter. Fire is fire. Whether you think it is was a good or bad show, there really isn't anything more to it. Sorry but you are seeing symbolism where there is none.
Watch the video
I watched it live and saw nothing more than a grand show where the tribute to the NHS moved forward using children in beds to childrens imagination based on stories to voldermort, mary poppins and chitty chitty bang bang. SHEESH
But no it's all a conspiracy........Jesus H gives a goddam rest from this contrived nonsesne. If you believe you see a hidden meaning in all this (except for the bleedin obvious dig by a left leaning director !!!!!) then I suggest you take a holiday because you clearly NEED one.
What is wrong with enjoying a very well made show ?????????????????

How quaint.
So in the spirit of "your history", why did they not include the violent subjugation of half the world - including all the killing and plundering parts, you brits seemed to enjoy those. Would have made for great entertainment.
Now, before this thread also gets silly, what are your thought on the "tempest" angle? Seeing as you are SO knowledgeable on all aspects of this ritual, which isn't a ritual, even thought it just REALLY looks like one to us who know nothing at all about anything, especially the history of the EMPIRE.

The ceremony had nothing to do with the Empire apart from taking time to respect the dead of all wars, feel free to drag that up all you want in the quest to make yourself feel better about being forced to partake in a pagan ritual that never was.
This thread got silly the moment of it's conception.
The Tempest was written by William Shakespeare and another nod to our Literary past.
The fact that you took apart my quote to suit your own little agenda screams volumes.
Cherry Pick much?

The Maypole has and is still used now across the land in many villages and towns during spring fete's and Mayday celebrations. In Britain we also have Horn dances and Well dressings. Take it as you will but we don't feel the need to completely shirk our old ways and traditions just because a few chest beaters deem it abhorrent. It's part of our history, like it or lump it.

The title of the Opening Ceremony was "Isle of Wonders". More than a nod i'd say.
Don't be snide, respecting the dead is another pagan practice i disapprove of.
Except poppy day, i LOVE poppies
Do you understand pagan rituals? If you do, then you'll understand all requirements of a pagan magic ritual were present. That is established fact, arguing that it was only theater is ignorant. Now you're either terribly ignorant or intentionally misleading. Which?
The title of this thread is an accurate depiction of events, that's not silly at all.

Now that the air is clear (i love british humour) we need to get something straight. Whether or not either of us like it, the olympic ceremony is a massive ritual ... by it's very nature. That is without doubt. Whether or not that ritual energy is directed is at question. To what extent the ritual has been created with traditional occultic symbolism is also questionable. That they rebuilt an entire section of dilapidated London to facilitate this ritual seems to suggest a lot of thought went into making it all come together.
Now you may have a nationalist fervour like most of us, but this ceremony wasn't even about britain, it was about the world, all of it, even the parts britain never plundered British history was only a screen, a backdrop. All the world is a stage, and the people merely players. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Oh and he wrote pretty poetry too. You ever hear of a bloke called Bacon? Fascinating guy he was.

Where was this demon at when I was watching the opening ceremony? I don't recall seeing him and I think I would have remembered it. Do you have a source??

What part in the ceremony did that half human half reptile nephilim (demon) appear?
Also, I noticed the feathers on him, maybe the same feathered serpent "gods" the Mayans believed in…?edit on 31-7-2012 by Brad Jones because: (no reason given)

If you come up with the goods I will never post on ATS again..

Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother. — Louise Bourgeois[3]
The only burnt offerings that represented was how the beginning of the industrial revolution relied heavily on charcoal.
The tower is obviously a representation of an arm holding an Olympic torch, sorry, close but no cigar for you.
