“With all sincerity I’m now afraid that I might be in physical danger from G4S,” Fellows told Infowars, adding that he feared the mainstream media was about to launch a character assassination campaign. “My only protection is to go public…. I have done nothing wrong and I stand by everything that I have said,” added Fellows.
Plans to station surface-to-air missiles on the roof of a tower block during the Olympics could expose residents to a terrorist attack, the High Court was told on Monday.
Residents of the Fred Wigg Tower in Leytonstone, east London, are fighting to prevent the ground-based air defence system being deployed above their heads.
They are applying for permission to seek judicial review on the grounds their human rights have been breached because they were not consulted fairly and properly over the proposals.

Hey, looks like that reporter was not so far from the truth.
News tonight, and part of the BBC home page coverage.
"The UK's armed forces are on standby to provide an additional 3,500 troops to help with security at the 2012 London Olympics, the BBC has learned.
It comes amid fears that private contractor G4S would not be able to provide enough trained staff in time."

Another good decision by those in power, in charge of our money. Does this prove that schooling standards were so much better in years past, or maybe it was a decision by a new starter? Haha.

There have been mainstream reports for at least the past year about 3,500 troops being involved. Is this a different 3,500 troops?
The armed forces were already providing some 13,500 personnel - this could now reach 17,000, meaning summer leave for some troops will likely be cancelled.
G4S is facing a penalty payment of up to £20 million after it failed to supply the agreed number of security guards for the Olympics. The company is also meeting the full cost of deploying thousands of extra troops and stands to lose up to £50 million on its contract.
HERO soldiers could be asked to clean TOILETS at the Olympics after being drafted in to provide security.
The squaddies — including troops from axed battalion 5 Scots The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders — face having to carry out menial tasks following staff shortages
And heroes drafted in to keep the Olympics secure in the wake of the G4S scandal will have to live in TENTS, it was revealed last night.
Army bosses face the colossal task of housing the extra 3,500 troops with just two weeks to go before the Games begin.
Sources last night said the soldiers would have to rough it in “austere” conditions — tents or disused warehouses — and might even be expected to do menial tasks such as cleaning toilets at Olympics venues.
The plight of our brave boys — who have had to cancel leave to plug the massive gap left by blundering G4S — emerged as the security firm was yesterday accused of presiding over “an utter shambles”.
It was also revealed that the company was warned TWO YEARS ago it would not have the right manpower in time.
Despite this it pulled out of a deal with SAS hero Andy McNab’s ForceSelect recruitment firm to take on thousands more security guards.
The contract would have cost G4S £1.75million, but greedy bosses — whose Games security contract is worth £284MILLION — turned their backs on it to save cash.
