The True Story of the Olympics-When the dominator energy came to town: the real IOC

There is a darkness that keeps calling me to its story. It is the story of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)’s tactics to control and dominate Vancouverites leading up to and during the 2010 Vancouver Winter
Olympics.


Whoever tells the stories of our experiences influences millions of minds. The IOC, through the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC), has painted the Vancouver Olympic experience in rosy colours as a wonderful, feel good,
“when-we-all-came-together-as-a-country” experience. This is a one-dimensional
and skewed perspective that insults our intelligence. http://ow.ly/1YsOe
